Chapter 59: Qiang
In the twelfth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui raised troops in Yunnan to launch an anti-Qing war, causing division and separation, and starting the rebellion of the three feudatories.
Within a year, Wu Sangui successively occupied Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Fujian and other provinces, as well as parts of Gansu, Shaanxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu.
After the Qing court entered the customs, it needed to deal with Li Zicheng's peasant army and Nan Mingzheng. The rebellion of the government, the Ming Dynasty's demotion is a force that can be relied on, and the Qing Dynasty kings began to reward these degraded officials and give real power, and many degraded officials slowly grew up with the help of the situation at that time.
However, 20 years later, Wu Sangui in Yunnan, Shang Kexi in Guangdong, Geng Jingzhong in Fujian, and other vassal kings in the south had formed a great force to fight against the Qing court.
Among them, Wu Sangui has the greatest power, not only in the economy, but also in the central government. The government was a heavy burden, and it threatened the Qing regime.
In the spring of 1673, the Kangxi Emperor made the decision to withdraw the feudal domain, and Wu Sangui first killed Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Yunnan, in November of that year.
Wu Sangui's army marched into Hunan from Yun and Gui, occupying almost the whole of Hunan, and then occupied Sichuan, and Sichuan officials surrendered one after another.
Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Henan and other places all had vassal kings or generals responded.
After the Qing regime unified the mainland, ethnic contradictions were still widespread throughout the country; The class contradiction has become the main contradiction in society at this time; Contradictions within the ruling class also persist.
Therefore, when Wu Sangui raised the anti-Qing banner, the Ming royal family, the Zheng Jing group, some Han palaces, Han soldiers, and the upper echelons of ethnic minorities, as well as peasants and slaves in some areas, reacted quickly.
In addition, after the three feudatories raised the anti-Qing banner, several ethnic minorities in Sichuan, such as Tusi, Miaomin, Chahar Mongolian Bulni, and Qinghai Murgen Taiji, also responded one after another.
After eight years of war, Wu Sangui died of illness, the situation changed sharply, the rebels were leaderless, the hearts of the people collapsed, and his grandson Wu Shifan inherited the throne.
The Qing army took the opportunity to launch an attack, and since then the rebels have collapsed, and Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places have gradually fallen for the Qing army.
At the end of the twentieth year of Kangxi, besieged the provincial capital Kunming, Wu Shifan committed suicide in poverty, the remnants surrendered, and the rebellion of the three feudatories was finally pacified.
During this period, in order to repay Wu Sangui for destroying Shuixi and killing his father's revenge, An Shengzu took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Wu army to go out in the sixteenth year of Kangxi to raise troops in Wusa to help the Qing Dynasty rehabilitate, and in and outside the Shuixi territory, he attacked and harassed everywhere, plagiarized the grain road, plundered the Wu army's military supplies, and killed more than 4,000 Wu troops.
Wu Sangui died of a violent illness, his grandson Wu Shipan succeeded to the throne, the following year, Shipan fled back to Guiyang and Yunnan, An Shengzu conformed to the situation, continued to assist the Qing army to exterminate the Wu army, and sent an envoy to Guiyang, to the Qing army generals to offer rice 4,000 stones.
Because of his meritorious service in helping the Qing Dynasty attack Wu Sangui, the Qing court first awarded him the prefect of Wusa Tu, and then returned to Guizhou to preach the consolation envoy.
Women really can't be offended, if they are offended, there is no good fruit to eat, now it's okay, the information that Yan Wenbin wants is so simple and rude, he doesn't know anything, Yan Wenbin looked at Leng Bingyan, and he didn't know what to say.
“
Do you know whose coffin this is", Leng Bingyan asked Yan Wenbin on the side.
"I don't know, after prying it open, it becomes clear that no matter who it is, you can come to the conclusion that the generations that follow them can only find a breakthrough in other areas in order to consolidate their increasingly fragile position."
"But I think this coffin in front of me is very strange, do you feel it, you see that this coffin is carved with a fiery red gluttony, the gluttonous beast in the legend of gluttony, I don't know how many times more powerful than the tomb beast."
"What is this, the ancient Zhong Ding Yi vessel carved its head shape as a decoration, in ancient times there was actually not much good and evil, mainly the things represented are different, like gluttony, mainly on behalf of the devouring of the main kill, so it is mostly used for sacrifices or wars, for oneself, killing the enemy is naturally a good thing, and for the enemy is just the opposite."
"So it's not important to distinguish between good and bad beasts in ancient legends, it's important to distinguish the images in them and use them for your own use," said the Demoman, looking at Gang Wenbin.
"No, if you are wrong, the original designers used the term "hideous terror" to express the "mysterious majesty" of royal power, to express their possession of political power, status and wealth, which is daunting, and these terrible ornaments contain all their majesty, will, glory, fantasy and hope."
"The gluttonous coffin here is not to show the person's politics and power, let alone to intimidate, but to communicate with God, because of the low level of productivity in primitive society, people attribute many unexplained phenomena to the power of God, people are full of fear of God, begging God, pleasing God, and using God power to dominate things."
Therefore, the wizard who "can communicate with the gods" has a very high status, and the wizard class has become the original imperial ruling class. Sacrifice is the prerogative of shamans, and it is also the central link in communicating with people and gods, and sanctifying the order on earth.
This person uses the gluttony on the coffin to try to communicate with the gods, so the gluttony here represents mystery and power,
However, since ancient times, people only worship the gods who can bring good weather and wind, and the fierce beast is a great evil thing as the name suggests, even if it is to worship a small number of evil sects or barbarian tribes, gluttony is the four evil, people are afraid of things often will not be mentioned, but also regarded as a symbol of the great evil, this lipstick lacquer coffin seems to be dangerous.
In ancient times, no matter what was encountered, sacrifices were needed, especially human sacrifices, one of which was called blood sacrifice, perhaps the coffin was red not because of the use of paint, but after being dyed with human blood, in the eyes of yin and yang, the blood-red coffin was the forbidden place of their industry.
According to the epitaph of the Shuixi family, by the time An Kun, An Ronggui, and An Shengzu, their family was already in danger; Especially when it came to An Shengzu, because he had no heirs, he hoped that he could at least make himself immortal with the help of some mysterious power.
Therefore, he will use his own life as a price to implant the soul of the drought into his body, the drought has the terrifying power of fighting with the gods, thousands or even thousands of years of Taoism, if he can really borrow the power of the drought fish, these are not a problem.
The drought fish has such an ability, and it is inseparable from the divine beasts that once appeared in the land of China.
Fox! This is a powerful and incomparable beast! Along with Nuwa, Haotian and Fuxi, he is known as one of the four ancient gods.
In the chaotic universe, there was a great god - Pangu, who gradually grew, and finally held the Pangu axe in his hand and completed the groundbreaking feat.
After Pangu opened the world, the heaven and the earth were formed, but there was no life, after a long period of changes, Pangu's body gradually evolved into four ancient gods, and the Qian was one of them.
The skull is transformed by the skull of the great god Pangu, so it has an invincible body, even if it is Haotian, Nuwa and Fuxi who exist together, it takes a huge amount of strength to break through the body of the dragon.
Legend has it that the corpse is the ancestor of the corpse clan, in mythology, there are four corpse kings (Ying Gou, Houqing, Drought Fish, General), and the formation of these four zombie kings is inseparable from the Qian, it can be said that they are all descendants of the Qian.
Legend has it that when the emperor fought Chiyou, he took advantage of the cholera world at this time, and Fuxi Nuwa shot together to seal the cholera.
Nuwa was afraid that after breaking the seal, she would take revenge on the world, so she and Fu Xi together extracted and split the soul of the dragon into four parts.
The split soul quickly fled, leaving both Nuwa and Fuxi helpless.
What's even more unexpected is that the branch of the sacred tree once asked Pangu for a huge branch of the sacred tree, and at this time, after the branch of the sacred tree came into contact with the blood of the dragon, it slowly burrowed into the body of the dragon, becoming a new soul, occupying the body of the dragon, and then the body of the dragon disappeared, but the soul remained, forming a new life body, the king of the four corpses.
The other four souls of the Qian occupied the bodies of four people, and became the four corpse kings whose abilities were second only to themselves, one of which was actually the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, Drought Fish.
Perhaps it was because of the revenge on Nuwa, the four corpse kings that the four corpse kings that they had turned into seemed to be cursed, they could only feed on the essence and blood of humans, and these zombie kings were extremely strong and had been a disaster for the world for many years.
In the summer of the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, Pingyang County has a dragon from the sea to the air, fighting for three days and nights, people see three dragons and two dragons, fight together, kill one dragon and two Jiao, and the dragon is also killed, and they all fall into the valley.
"Then what do you mean is that the drought fish we encountered above is inseparable from An Shengzu", looking at Yan Wenbin very serious, Leng Bingyan's brows furrowed.
Of course, according to records, An Shengzu died in the sixteenth year of Kangxi, and Qian also appeared in the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi, which is too coincidental, Leng Bingyan has to believe that from the moment she entered here, everything she encountered has been recorded in writing, and she has to believe in these myths and legends.
And when he encountered the drought fish above, Yan Wenbin used his own urine to confront the drought fish,
So now there is the smell of Gang Wenbin's urine in this coffin, which can only show that the drought is related to this coffin.
“
No wonder this coffin can't be pried open, it turns out that there is a drought in it, and the drought is reborn with the help of An Shengzu's body, and An Shengzu finally became a puppet."
"It has been customary since ancient times that a person who dies is considered to be so angry that it is customary to burn the body of a person with fire.
, but the Chinese have always paid attention to entering the soil for peace, and there is a great conflict between the two ways, and in order to prevent the deceased from resenting after death, jade is usually stuffed into their mouths."
"Lingyu can protect the lord, and it can also absorb the grievances of the deceased during his lifetime, not only that, but when the deceased seals the coffin, they generally use sarcophagi or metal coffins to make it unbreakable, just to prevent the deceased from coming out to bring disaster to the world."
"And according to custom, after the coffin is sealed when it is buried, it cannot be opened, except in special circumstances, such as moving graves, etc.
Now we want to open this coffin, which is to release the old stuff inside the coffin."
I heard that Yan Wenbin said this,
Uncle Gang Wenbin was watching this coffin carefully, I don't know what to do, the coffin that can be suppressed with evil beasts must not be a good kind inside, and his life will be thrown here.
"Uncle, what should I do", Yan Wenbin looked at his uncle and said.
"What should I do, soaked cucumbers, cold salad, how do I know, you have to open the coffin, what do you say", Uncle Yan Wenbin saw Yan Wenbin for the first time without an opinion, and at this moment his little vanity was satisfied.
"Then pry it open," Leng Bingyan said on the side.
When Yan Wenbin and Yan Wenbin's uncle heard this, they both wiped the sweat from their heads with their hands.
