Chapter 73: Deduction

Uncle Biao held a flashlight to shine on these corpses, probably not sure of his inference, so he almost said hesitantly: "Could it be that these people, aren't they, these deformities are those capable people under Jiang Ziya's command?" ”

After this reminder, I nodded yes with some sympathy.

I am still aware of the historical changes in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and together with the current special circumstances, I have invisibly connected them in my heart.

It is said that the Zhou, originally an ancient tribe in the upper reaches of Weishui, lived in some areas of present-day central Shaanxi, and gradually developed by relying on the superior natural environment.

Until Ji Chang, the strategist Jiang Ziya was reused, and the national strength became stronger and stronger.

When Jiang Ziya assisted Xibo Hou Jichang in his fight against the Shang king, he faced the Shang Dynasty, which had a foundation and a regular army for more than 600 years, and the disparity in manpower, material resources and financial resources was very huge.

Therefore, Xibohou Jichang needs to recruit talents from the people and constantly expand his team.

But they were an insurrectionary army after all, especially during that period of slavery, and they were seen as a rebel army in the eyes of everyone, and even regarded as a rebel army.

For this reason, the strategist Jiang Ziya persuaded Ji Chang to start grasping ideology at a very early age, laying an ideological foundation for the great cause of destroying Shang, and the king of Shang claimed that his royal power came from the "Mandate of Heaven", and Ji Chang said that "the Mandate of Heaven is impermanent, but virtue is supplementary", which means that the King of Shang has no virtue, and Xibo has virtue, so the Mandate of Heaven has been transferred to Ji Chang.

Jiang Ziya knows that it is not enough to rely on these ethereal things.

As a result, the strategist Jiang Ziya searched everywhere and artificially created some deformed people who were feared to see.

Of course, the success rate of creating these deformities is very low, as evidenced by the mountains of bones in that mass grave.

But the extremely low success rate can be compensated for by numbers.

Jiang Ziya finally succeeded in creating a group of deformed people such as Lei Zhenzi with wings and Nezha with three heads and six arms.

First, after having these people, they hyped and publicized among the people: Zhou was not a rebel army, but an army that acted for the heavens, because God sent "heavenly soldiers and generals" to assist him.

Subsequently, Ji Chang began to call himself the king internally, that is, King Wen of Zhou.

I think this was also a means to win over the many tribes at that time and increase the morale of their own alliance troops.

After that, King Wen of Zhou successively recruited a group of virtuous ministers such as Lu Shang, San Yisheng, Taidian, Hong Yao, Nangong Shi, etc., and joined forces with Yong, Lu, Peng, Pu, Shu, Qiang, Wei, Ji and other tribes externally, with a total of 45,000 allied troops, and even at the time of the decisive battle of the Battle of Muye, many tribes and the monarchs of Fang Guo personally participated in the battle.

Second, the purpose of using these deformed people is not to let them go deep into the enemy's battle, but to let them perform in front of the opposing camp of the two armies, and play a role in waving the flag and shouting to deter the enemy army and enhance their own momentum.

Just imagine, before the two armies start the battle, a man with three heads and six arms performs a chest stone or a winged man flies in a circle in front of the battle, how terrifying it is for the enemy army.

In that era of slavery in which the mind was imprisoned, it was strange to let the flesh-and-blood soldiers fight against the "gods" in front of them, and I think it was strange that in addition to the mentally retarded, they did not lose their armor and escape.

I communicated my thoughts to Uncle Biao, and after listening to them, Uncle Biao first couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and then patted me on the shoulder and praised me.

At this time, Uncle Biao took a flashlight ring and looked around, and said with some emotion: "It turns out that this is Jiang Ziya's laboratory?" ”

Then, he turned his head and said strangely: "My eldest nephew, then you can deduce why many parts of these corpses are fractured." ”

I said that this probably started with the monkey trick I watched when I was a child.

When Uncle Biao heard this, his eyebrows curled and he repeated: "What? Monkey tricks? ”

Yes!

The gong in the monkey man's hand is a highlight.

The gong, also known as "reporting to the king", is like a baton.

As soon as the gong of the monkey man sounds, the monkey appears on the stage, first performs several sets of actions such as somersaults and big tops, and then begins to do the "prescribed actions" under the light, heavy, urgent and slow prompts of the gong.

Generally, monkey puppeteers also have a set of lyrics, most of which are self-composed.

Although sometimes the throat is broken and the voice is dumb, the monkey can understand it.

After the monkey turned over his heels, the monkey man began to sing: "Open the cabinet and open the box, and put a three-level Yang Liulang." ”

When the monkey heard this, he ran to the box and took a helmet and put it on. Then, according to the gong prompt, he wore a mask of Bao Gong for a while, and a mask of Guan Gong for a while, and the movements were perfectly coordinated, which made people laugh.

These skills of monkeys are not innate, they need to be "tamed" and "trained".

Throughout the ages, the folk tamed monkeys and were very knowledgeable.

Let's just say that the selection of monkeys is stricter than the current recruitment of talents, in order to select the best of the best, so that smart monkeys stand out, often racking their brains.

Experienced monkey tamers put a bowl on the head of each monkey shortlisted in the "audition", and stand in the yard to punish each monkey, and if any monkey takes the bowl down, the monkey tamer will whip it. Often, as soon as the monkey handler turns around, a monkey takes off the bowl, and the monkey handler whips it with a whip until it puts the bowl on its head.

After all this, the monkey tamer went into the house and peeked out.

In this way, after repeating it many times, those monkeys who honestly wore bowls and did not dare to move did not want any of them.

And those who look around and secretly take off the bowl are exactly what is needed.

So, those who stayed were naughty monkeys.

The naughty monkey has to be tamed, and the owner uses a gong and a whip to tame the monkey, and if the monkey loses his temper, the master beats it, and beats it until it has a blue nose and swollen face, and is covered with bruises, jumps up and down, and screams, until it does not dare to be stubborn again.

Then, begin to train the monkey to be both benevolent and powerful, not only to give small favors and induce with food, but also to punish its deviance and bad behavior.

When Uncle Biao heard this, he laughed: "You mean, Jiang Ziya is a monkey?" Are those strange people deformed monkeys? ”

I say it's more than that!

Legend has it that whether it is Lei Zhenzi or Nezha and others, they are very afraid of the whip in Jiang Ziya's hand.

In fact, I'm afraid it's not how powerful the whip is.

It's because Jiang Ziya's whip is very likely to be the whip and gong in the hands of the monkey man! ”

When Uncle Biao heard this, he stayed where he was, and it took a while to react, and then gave me a thumbs up!

In fact, Uncle Biao also knows that there are so many gods in the world.

No matter how divine a person is, he is also an ordinary person.

It's just that it is packaged by the myth of oneself or future generations.
