Chapter 194: Hai Dongqing
The floor in the chamber was still a mess, with occasional pools of blood to be seen. Walking along the council chamber all the way inside, I soon saw a courtyard.
The yard is overgrown with weeds due to lack of care. At this time, there was a cry from a mud hut in the courtyard. Listening to the voice, it should be the big man's.
"Hey," Masaro sighed. Ming Feng Xiuzheng came to ask for help. According to the division of labor, he was responsible for counting the supplies, and in order to avoid chaos, he asked everyone not to go near the backyard (I really don't know how he made others understand, after all, he didn't speak Chinese), but some people didn't want to listen to him. That's right, it's the big man. According to a slave from a former cottage who came to report with Ming Feng Xiuzheng, this big man broke into the backyard despite everyone's obstruction while calling "Xiaoqing". As soon as Masahiro heard it, he knew what was going on. It must be that the family members of the Han Dynasty were captured by the bandits and suffered an unsatisfactory thing. Now Dahan is in a hurry to go in to confirm the safety of his family.
After understanding what happened, Zhengliang quickly followed everyone to check, after all, order in the cottage still needs to be maintained. Now standing at the gate of the courtyard, listening to the howl of the big man, the political conscience said that something was really wrong.
Walking along the path in the courtyard, I soon came to the door of the mud hut where the sound of wailing was heard. When I looked inside, I saw the big man squatting on the ground and crying. There was no one around, not even a single corpse. So why did he cry so sadly?
Masahiro didn't rush forward to comfort him, and the person who was in grief should let him vent his emotions, and Masaliang had already included this big man in the list of "neuropathies".
Looking around, I still haven't found anything. Suddenly, a white figure rolled onto the big man's shoulder. Masahiro was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at it, "This... This is... Hai Dongqing? ”
Take a closer look at the past. Its body length is 56~61 cm, its weight is about 1310~2100 grams, and the color of its feathers is snow-white. Masara had seen this bird in the animal world before. That's right, this is indeed Hai Dongqing.
How can there be a Haidongqing here, and it is a high-grade Haidongqing. Haidong Qingzhong takes the pure white 'jade claw' as the top grade, and there are also names such as autumn yellow, wave yellow, and three-year dragon. to the Qing Dynasty. If a convict catches a Haidongqing and presents it to the imperial court, he can be spared all capital crimes, which shows how precious it is. Emperor Tianzuo, the arrogant last Liao ruler, sent silver envoys every year to ask the Jurchens for Haidongqing, and "every time he goes to his country, he will want to recommend a pillow." Its domestic wheel is used as a place to stay. After treating them as unmarried women, the envoys flocked to the country's life, and chose only the beautiful woman, regardless of her husband or reader." aroused the resentment of the Jurchens, and under the leadership of Aguta, the leader of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, the Jurchen troops were gathered. Capture the Eagle Officer'. Shen Zhaoti, a literati of the Qing Dynasty, once commented: "Liaojin provoked Haidongqing. The jade claw name eagle tribute stopped for a long time. It can be seen that although an eagle is insignificant, it is related to the rise and fall of Liaojin.
The Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all had institutions similar to Eagle Fang, which specialized in catching and raising. The Manchus used eagles for hunting, and the rulers used eagles to hunt geese and geese as a means of pleasure. Hai Dongqing's capture and taming is not easy. There is often a folk saying: "Nine deaths and one life, it is rare to find an eagle". After capturing the wild Haidongqing with a falcon net. I would like to thank the 'Eagle God' Gege for his gifts. Take it home and put it in the eagle room to put the eagle on the shelf, and add 'foot stumbling'. For a few days and nights, it is not allowed to sleep, and it is worn off its wildness, and it is called 'boiling eagle'. Then through the 'punch', 'rope running' and other links, then the eagle can listen to the shouts of people to come to the hunter's arm. At the end, the intestinal oil is scraped out by 'srangling' the eagle, so that the eagle is hungry, but the muscles are strong and easy to capture prey. The tamed eagle can go to the mountains and fields to 'release the eagle'. The falconer stands on a high place and watches, and has people beat the bushes with sticks to blast wild things out, commonly known as 'chasing the war'. Found that there is prey running or flying out, the eagle will immediately scream and dive down to capture the prey, the falconer should arrive as soon as possible to take down the prey, only give the eagle some animal offal, not to feed, the so-called 'eagle is full and does not take the rabbit', this is the truth. In addition to the "Grand View of the Wild History of the Qing Dynasty", "Yanshan Conglu" and "History of Liao" and other books also recorded in detail the scene of the Liao lord eagle assisting in hunting. In the early spring of the following year, the hunters feed the eagles, remove the bells and stumbling blocks, and release the eagles back into the wild for spring and summer to reproduce. …,
How can there be a Haidongqing here? Just when Zhengliang was surprised, suddenly a gray figure also jumped on the shoulders of the big man, and two Hai Dongqing, one gray and one white, frolicked on the big man's shoulder.
"This ......" Masahiro was completely stunned, there was still one?
"Benefactor, you're here" At this time, the big man who was squatting on the ground noticed the abnormality at the door, looked up, and found that it was Zhengliang, so he quickly stood up and saluted. The two Hai Dongqing jumped to the ground and spun around at the feet of the big man, looking very familiar with the big man.
"You ......" Zhengliang wanted to say some comforting words, but suddenly saw Dahan holding several dark feathers in his hands, which seemed to be the feathers of Hai Dongqing.
"Benefactor, Xiaoqing is dead, eaten by those damned bandits" Dahan raised the feather in his hand and said to Zhengliang. Looking at it like that, it's as sad as a loved one who has died.
As soon as the big man's words came out, Zhengliang realized that he had made a mistake, and it turned out that this big man was worried about these Hai Dongqing. If that's the case, it's much easier. So Zhengliang signaled Ming Fengxiu to continue to take people to count the materials in the warehouse, and comforted the big man.
Slowly, the big man also settled down.
"Listen to your accent, it's not from here," Masarashi began to make small talk with the big man. At the beginning, Zhengliang didn't pay too much attention to the appearance of this big man, but now when I look closely, I see this big man, burly, with a height of about 1.7 meters, which is about the same height as Zhengliang. And the limbs look very thick, completely the body of a warrior. Combined with the somewhat unfamiliar Chinese of the Han Dynasty, Zhengliang concluded that this Han was not a local, or even a native of the Ming Kingdom.
"Benefactor, I grew up by a big river," the big man replied. Then Dahan began to tell Zhengliang about his origins.
The Great Han is a Jurchen. Wild Jurchens, to be exact. The Ming Dynasty successively set up 25 guards in Liaodong and 384 guards in Nuer Gandu, which ruled the entire Kanto region. The Jurchens are distributed in a vast area east of the Songhua River, west of the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, bordering the Sea of Japan and the Korean Peninsula in the south. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, according to the distribution area, the Jurchen people were divided into three groups, the Jianzhou Jurchen, the Haixi Jurchen and the Savage Jurchen.
Jianzhou Jurchen was originally Huo'er Abe, who lived in Heilongjiang with three surnames (now Yilan). Another branch of the Jianzhou Jurchens, for the three surnames near the Duoli tribe, the chief for the Mengge Timur (Mengtemu), Yongle eight years, due to the invasion of the savage Jurchens and moved south, after several transfers, in the early orthodoxy regrouped in the Hunhe River Valley.
The name of the Haixi Jurchen was first seen in the Yuan Dynasty and generally refers to the Jurchens of the Haixi Zhuwei. The Haixi Jurchens have four divisions: Hada, Huifa, Ula, and Yehe, and there are also Shanyi and Jiangyi. Shanyi is a cave according to the mountain, that is, the mature girl is really perfect; Jiang Yi lives in Heilongjiang, that is, he gave birth to a Jurchen. Hada and Yehe belong to Shanyi, while Huifa and Ula belong to Jiangyi. Later, it was moved to the Hulan River Basin, and Hulan and Hulun (Hulun) were transliterated, and they were also called Lun Sibu.
The savage Jurchen, also following the old name of the Yuan Dynasty, is a relatively backward part of the Jurchen, so it is called "savage", distributed on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River and east of the Ussuri River. The savage Jurchen, also known as the East China Sea Jurchen and the East China Sea Woji Division, is divided into four divisions: Sakhalian, Hulha, Varka, and Kurkha. And Huerha is the hometown of the Jianzhou Jurchens. Later, the Huerha Department remained in place, and it was the Jianzhou Jurchens who moved away.
According to Zhengliang's judgment, this big man should be from the savage Jurchen tribe. As for why he came to Zhejiang in the south from Heilongjiang, thousands of miles away? It all started with what happened to him.
The Han originally grew up in a small tribe. He lived a life of fishing, hunting, raising horses and cattle. Life is very ordinary. However, his tribe was invaded by another powerful tribe, and although he resisted, he was eventually wiped out. Only a handful of young people escaped. …,
The escaped Han was determined to avenge the death of his parents and clansmen, and finally took advantage of the opportunity of an enemy tribal banquet to sneak into the other party's camp in the dark, kill the enemy who killed his parents, and then absconded to the Han residential area. For some time after that, he haunted the mountains and the Han Chinese bazaars, selling the prey he had hunted in the bazaars in exchange for other necessities of life. There are only three Hai Dongqing who have been raised by him since he was a child.
This time, he took a merchant's promise to accept an offer to escort a merchant ship. But after getting on the boat, I realized that Lu Dao had been fooled, and the other party was completely here for his few Haidongqing. In desperation, he grabbed a wooden plank and jumped into the sea to escape, but fortunately, the ship was close to the coast, and with the guidance of several Hai Dongqing, he drifted to Hangzhou Bay without danger.
Of course, the big man who had been deceived once didn't want to trust others casually, so after going ashore, he didn't go to a densely populated place, but went to the deep mountains and wilderness. Familiar with hunting in the mountains and forests, as long as he can enter the deep forest, he can find food. It's a pity that he was very unlucky, he happened to meet this gang of bandits, and under the siege, he was captured, and even the three Hai Dongqing who followed him were trapped. Because of his tall man, he was kept alive as a coolie slave and was not killed. But those Hai Dongqing were not so lucky, and they happened to meet the bandit leader who didn't know the value of Hai Dongqing, and unfortunately, when the big man was rescued by Zhengliang and rushed here, one of them had become the bandit leader's dinner. Dahan is sad from the heart, so there is the scene just now. (To be continued......) ……,
