Qi Xiaoting left the villagers, and while walking, she asked Dongsheng and Li Heier: From the Qingliangjiang River to the middle of the place where the man-eating ants occurred, what are the big towns and buildings.

Dongsheng told her: Due east is Daying Town. The town is a fur country, where families tinker with leather and sew leather coats and hats. Rich people who have become rich by fur abound, each of them has a large brick house, and the stores are also varied and magnificent.

Qi Xiaoting: "What about public buildings? ”

Dongsheng: "If you want to talk about public buildings, except for the town government, there are Bigan Temples. The temple with two entrances, each of which has something to match, is very prosperous. ”

Qi Xiaoting thought to herself: Where there is no temple, the town government is a new building, there must be nothing special. These two places will never shock the Dragon King.

"What's the difference?" Qi Xiaoting asked again.

Dongsheng: "Let me tell you, do you think this is a special feature?" Daying's fur workshop has a history of more than 2,000 years, and it is said that it is still the birthplace of fur.

"Just as the blacksmith for Laojun and the carpenter for Luban, the leathermen of the big camp worship Bigan. August 15 is the day of worship every year, and the ceremony can be solemn. Bigan Temple is also the largest temple in this bend. ”

When Qi Xiaoting heard this, her interest in collecting folklore stories came up, and she hurriedly asked: "It's been so long, there must be a lot of legends and stories in Master Zu Bigan!" ”

Dongsheng: "Yes, the story is vivid, almost everyone here knows it. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Then you can tell us about it, how about talking while walking?" ”

Li Hong also became interested: "Yes, let's talk while walking, and don't delay our work." ”

Dongsheng: "Yes. ”

So, Dongsheng told the following story as he walked......

Bigan was the younger brother of Emperor Yi, the 16th king of the Shang Dynasty, and according to the inheritance law of the Shang Dynasty, the eldest son succeeded to the throne and the second son was divided. Bigan was not only a king, but also the highest political official of the Shang Dynasty at that time, "Young Master".

Emperor Yi's reign was short, and when he was dying, he discussed the matter of the heir to the throne with his two younger brothers, Bigan and Miko, who suggested that his eldest son Weizi should be virtuous and kind, and Bigan advocated that his younger son Dixin should inherit the throne.

Bigan said that although Weizi is the eldest son, he was not born to Di Yi's wife, and although Di Xin is young, he is a son-in-law. In the end, Di Yi adopted Bigan's advice and let Di Xin inherit the throne.

In fact, Bigan's struggle for Emperor Xin to inherit the throne was not entirely to maintain the inheritance law of the Shang Dynasty, but more importantly, he favored this nephew.

The reason is that Di Xin is tall and burly, dignified in appearance, and extremely brave. He could fight ferocious beasts with his bare hands, and he could drag a cart pulled by three oxen backwards.

Once, when one of the pillars of the palace broke, the craftsmen had to build a shelf, hold the beams up, and replace them with new ones. Di Xin said: "Don't bother, I'll hold the beam with my hand, you can change it!" ”

Not only that, Di Xin is also very intelligent, very knowledgeable, and eloquent, and he speaks like a river, and no one can trouble him.

Due to Bigan's strong protection, Di Xin succeeded to the throne very smoothly, that is, the king of Xu.

He personally led a large army to the east to conquer Xu Yi, rushing back and forth on the battlefield, and was extremely brave, so frightened that the chief of Xu Yi tied his hands back, held the title of national treasure and jade in his mouth, wore filial piety clothes, and pulled the coffin to surrender to the king.

The king led the army to fight all the way to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Dongyi tribes surrendered one after another. When the king triumphed, Bigan took the minister of civil and military affairs and walked dozens of miles to greet him.

The folk songs at that time even sang: The king of the country, the iron bucket is like ......

Not long after, Beidi's mercenaries invaded the Central Plains again and went straight to Chaoge to kill. Along the way, he burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, claiming to set foot on the song.

When the king heard this, he was furious: When I first ascended the throne, someone dared to come to provoke me, and this is worth it.

He personally took command, Feng Bigan was the deputy general, and he was about to set off with 3,000 elite soldiers.

Bigan and Jiang Ziya once studied art from the same teacher, and the two had a deep friendship. Before leaving, Bigan asked Jiang Ziya to calculate a hexagram.

Jiang Ziya said: "Judging from the hexagram, this battle can be won. The place where you fought seems to have a deep connection with you, and if you can settle there, you will accomplish the work of your life. Your contribution to humanity is much greater than that of Chaoge. ”

Bigan took it to heart. Knowing that Jiang Ziya could communicate with God, he told people to the end of the hexagram, so he didn't ask in detail, and followed King Su on the expedition.

Three cannons rang out, and the army rode fast horses all the way to the north.

The people of the Central Plains suffered deeply from the killing of Beidi, and when they heard that the king of Xuan personally led his troops to come, they were moved and kowtowed.

The king dismounted, picked up an old man and comforted: "We must pacify this Beidi and let the people live a peaceful life." ”

As the saying goes, a strong general has no cowardice! The king was already heroic, and he fought in person, and the soldiers were inspired, and they all rode their horses and whips and rushed forward like tigers.

In less than half a day, they encountered the enemy army in the area of Jianjin Prefecture, and saw the dust flying and the black pressure pressed towards this side.

The king ordered his soldiers to stop, set up a position, and stabilize their position.

Seeing that there was an army blocking the way in front of him, the other party also stopped.

Bigan crossed the horse and asked, "Who are you?" How dare you offend my Central Plains? ”

The leader shouted: "We are the Beidi tribe, our soldiers are extremely brave, kill here from outside the pass, I will go straight to Chaoge and seize the throne." Then he asked, "Who are you who dare to block my way?" ”

Bigan said: "We are the army of the King of Xu. Then he pointed to the king and said, "This is our king, if you don't get off your horse and surrender quickly, you will not die." ”

The leader of the other party laughed: "It turns out that the doll who has just succeeded to the throne dares to come and stop me." It's better to surrender early, and when I ascend the throne, I may give you a half-official position. ”

When the king heard this, he was furious, and with a spear he rode over, and fought with the leader.

Iron Horse Jingo, Mas roared, and fought for more than a dozen rounds without a victory.

The king was young and vigorous, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, he saw a flaw in the opponent, stabbed him in the chest with a shot, and picked it up hard, and actually held the leader in the air, and turned it around three times with the gun, and then threw the spear and threw it out a few feet away.

The soldiers in the enemy camp were stunned, they had never seen this scene before, and when they saw that the leader was dead, they turned around and fled.

The king waved his spear: "The soldiers chase after me." ”

Iron horses are ringing, and thousands of horses are galloping. The powerful merchant army pursued and fought fiercely with the overwhelming momentum, and the enemy soldiers who only killed lost their armor and were embarrassed, and the dead were wounded.

The army of the Emperor of the Throne was victorious.

After the battle, Bigan remembered Jiang Ziya's hexagram, so he said to the king: "This is the Great Plains region, the terrain is flat, and it can fight and defend. If an army is stationed here for a long time, it will not be afraid of the invasion of Beidi, nor will it be the emperor's personal conquest. ”

The king thought about it, so he said to Bigan: "I want to leave this army, set up a large camp here, and stay here for a long time, which general do you think is up to it?" ”

When Bigan heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately said, "I'll stay." ”

The king shook his head: "No. I have just ascended the throne, and everything is to be done, how can you leave me? ”

Bigan: "There are Jizi, Weizi, Shangrong, and Xinjia in the court, and I am not one less." And the land here is desolate, sparsely populated, and the three thousand soldiers will have to eat, drink, and train them, and I feel that I am more needed here. ”

The king thought for a moment and said, "Since you insist on staying, then I won't force you." In addition to the army, I will make you the magistrate of this place, and I will rule over the people of this side for me. ”

"King Xie Xu's reward." Bigan kowtows in thanksgiving.

"But there is one thing", the king continued: "You have to be mentally prepared, this king will send you back to the palace at any time to help me govern the country."

"Yes!" Bigan responded.

The next day, the king led his personal guards and retinue back to the court.

The king also wanted to consolidate the position of the big camp, so he allocated special funds to build a military camp in the big camp that could accommodate 3,000 soldiers. It is also equipped with a family home, allowing soldiers and generals to move their families to live, and those who are not married can also marry local girls as daughters-in-law.

From then on, Bigan lived in the great camp. His duty is to command this large military camp and also to benefit the people of this side.

Without the war, the 3,000 elite soldiers in the camp, in addition to daily drills, the rest of the time he let them reclaim the land and grow grain, vegetables and vegetables to reduce the burden of Chaoge.

After the soldiers who had families moved their families here, they were properly resettled in the camp. Those who had no family let them marry local girls. From then on, the camp began to be lively. The name "Daying" was also called.

Bigan is both the commander of the army and the magistrate, and he is responsible for the benefit of one side. In order to make it convenient for him to contact the common people, he built a yamen opposite the barracks, and he went to work every day to share the worries and solve problems of the common people.

However, the situation in the villages around the camp is not optimistic:

Since Daying is located in the middle of the Qingliang River and the Lulu River, no matter which of the two rivers is angry, it will affect the Daying area. However, both rivers are negligently managed, and the two ends of the embankment burst in three years, and this area can have eight years of waterlogging in ten years.

After the flood, the ground became saline. The white alkali gaba is thick and thick, like the bald sores on the bald head, how ugly and ugly it is.

The land is saline-alkali, and the ground is full of saline-alkali tolerant red wattle, Zha Peng tree, jujube tree, willow, stinky artemisia, even if it is reclaimed to grow crops, the harvest is very little.

Even so, the taxes of the imperial court were still very heavy, and the corrupt officials levied excessively, and the people lived a poor life without food and clothing.

But there were many wild beasts in the field: weasels, foxes, badgers, rabbits, wild goats, wild dogs, jackals, etc., all fat and strong. Some of them also gathered in groups, from the Qingliang River to the Lulu River, and then from the Lulu River to the Qingliang River, back and forth flowers and flowers, and did not hide when they met people, still swaggering and calmly.

Seeing this, Bigan said to the villagers, "Since the grain harvest is not in good shape, why don't you fight some wild beasts to make up for it?" ”

The villagers shook their heads and waved their hands and said, "I can't help it, if I offend the fox fairy weasel spirit or something, it will make the house uneasy." As long as they don't come to the village to steal our livestock and poultry, they will recite Amitabha, where do they dare to take the initiative to fight them? ”
