Wenfeng Pagoda archaeological excavation site.

Heritage storage room.

"Treasure, treasure of the country!"

"This line of inscription is simply the largest archaeological discovery in the last fifty years!"

"A brilliant but unknown country in the history of China has finally been determined!"

Professor Li trembled his hands and kept stroking the bronze Ge of Wow Green Wow Green.

Although the degree of oxidation of this copper Ge is very high, the preservation condition is extremely poor.

But the content of this bronze record is too shocking!

Chen Han stood silently next to Professor Li.

Fifteen minutes had passed since he had delivered the bronze artifact.

But Professor Li's exclamations did not subside.

He can also understand.

The importance of this bronze Ge is indeed very, very high for archaeologists, and even in a sense, it is more important than the set of bells unearthed in the tomb of Marquis Yi.

After all, that set of bells does not prove that Zeng Guo is the Suiguo recorded in the history books.

The chimes are beautiful, but they are just a beautiful piece of art.

In terms of importance and influence, there is no such tattered bronze as high.

This is the only excavated cultural relics of the "Sui" country!

And it is also the only time that the names of Zeng Guo and Sui Guo appear at the same time!

There are many bronzes with "Zeng Hou Shao's XX" in the tomb of Zeng Hou Shao, plus this bronze Ge of "Sui Da Sima".

There are both "Zeng" and "Sui" in the same tomb, which can basically prove that Zeng is Sui, and Sui is Zeng!

Professor Li lifted his glasses and looked at Chen Han with satisfaction.

"The name on this bronze ge, I also agree with your "Jia You" opinion. ”

"Jia has this name, perhaps the original name of his great-grandson Shao, and later after he stepped down as the Great Sima, he called himself Shao."

During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was common for people to have multiple names.

Also take the famous Zhao Qing as an example.

Zhao Qing's original name was Zhao Ying, also known as Zhifu, also known as Zhao Meng.

Among them, "Zhao Meng" is a common name for the head of the old Zhao family, which is the meaning of the suzerain of the Zhao family, and it is not surprising that his son and father have also used this name.

But "martingale" and "zhifu" are his own unique names, which shows that it was common for people at that time to have two names.

Therefore, the "Jia You" on the copper Ge should refer to the great-grandson Shao.

"Moreover, this can also explain why Prince Wu's halberd will appear in the tomb of his great-grandson Shao."

Chen Han smiled slightly, and said confidently:

"Professor Li, I think this great-grandson Shao is the great Sima during the reign of Zeng Houyu."

"At the time of the battle of Wu and Chu, the king of Chu Zhao fled to the Sui (Zeng) country in a hurry, and the Wu army pursued to the capital of the Sui country and wanted to hand over the king of Chu Zhao with the country. And it was King Wu who led the troops with him. ”

"In that era when bronze was the most valuable, a well-built weapon was generally used for a lifetime, even to be brought to the tomb."

"At that time, although he was already the king of Wu, he must still have this weapon forged when he was a prince."

"It is a very coincidence that the great Sima who is in charge of the military power of the Zeng State at this time is this great-grandson Shao."

"According to historical records, after King Wu arrived in Suidi, Suihou sent people to negotiate with King Wu who besieged the city."

"Obviously, the person who leads this negotiation must be Shao, the great-grandson of the great Sima of Suiguo."

"It was also during the negotiation process that Wu Wang Lu gave his great-grandson Shao the beloved halberd he cast when he was a prince because he admired or felt that his great-grandson Shao was an excellent person."

This also touched great-grandson Shao very much, so he cherished this halberd very much, regarded it as a treasure, and buried it next to him after his death.

For modern people, when the two countries are at war, the negotiations between the two sides are tense, not to mention giving gifts to each other, and if you don't scold, you are all self-contained.

But in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was different, at that time the nobility was still very decent, or "respectful".

When the two countries are at war, make an appointment with the time and place, and then assemble to fight, and the side that wins the battle is politely sent someone to ask for the spoils.

The losing side can only admit defeat calmly and hand over a large amount of property in exchange for peace.

As long as it is not a war to destroy the country, the nobles on both sides still maintain a harmonious and even very harmonious atmosphere.

Even when the two armies are at war, if something major suddenly happens in one side's country, such as the death of the monarch and Zhengqing, there will be a temporary truce, giving people a time to run for funerals and deal with internal affairs.

This is called not taking advantage of others.

The aristocratic wars at that time were still very different from the conquests of the foreign countries from the late Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period.

Therefore, sometimes it is common for nobles on both sides to become friends after meeting each other on the battlefield.

Of course, this refers to ordinary righteous wars, not wars to destroy the country.

Don't look at the battle of Wu and Chu was very powerful, Wu broke the capital of Chu.

But was the state of Chu destroyed?

No, let alone destroying the country, people can still invite rescuers from other countries to help regain lost territory.

After a battle between Wu and Chu, Wu gained prestige and plundered countless Chu treasures.

None of the land was obtained, and the senior ministers and feudal lords of the Chu State were not killed or injured.

And later, at the end of the Battle of Wu and Chu, Yue Guo took the opportunity to steal chickens and attacked Wu Guo's butt without mentioning notice.

Wu was attacked on both sides, and the brother-in-law of Helu led his army back to China after the defeat of Yiyi and established himself as king.

He was half dead, and he waved his army back to China to take care of his younger brother, and finally his husband was defeated, and he fled to Chu State, and was accepted by King Chu Zhao and became the feudal monarch of Chu State.

Qin came to help the army of Chu, and after helping King Chu Zhao recover the lost territory, he patted his ass and returned home.

It is not like some modern countries that ask for foreign aid, and they just don't leave when they are invited.

The entire battle of Wu and Chu was fought, and the high-ranking nobles of Wu and Chu had no losses, and those who were injured were civilians at the bottom, who were looted back and forth and killed at will.

The nobles of the upper echelons of various countries did not have any worries about their lives.

Even the husband who established himself as the king was able to flee to Chu to continue to be a feudal monarch after the defeat of the army.

This was the age of the aristocracy.

The entire aristocratic class is essentially an interest group.

Although they will attack each other, they will never get to the point of life and death.

Belonging is a battle within the rules.

Whoever breaks this rule and kills nobles on a large scale, even if it is not a nobleman from his own country, but a nobleman from a foreign country or even an enemy country, he will be attacked by a group!

Because everyone is a nobleman under the Zongzhou system, strictly speaking, they belong to a family, and they must be decent to each other.

If you destroy my family one day, what will happen to my descendants, and who will worship my ancestors?

This consequence is terrible to think about, there must be no such mad aristocrats!

But the wheels of the times are unstoppable.

Why did the three families divide and start the Warring States Period?

It's because the secretary of the Jin State is ruthless to the enemy and ruthless to his own people!

They really wipe out the race at every turn!

Jin Qing not only murdered externally, but also had a hand in internal mergers and extermination.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, the large and small nobles killed in the Jin Civil War may have been more than three times as many as all the other vassal states combined.

At its peak, the Jin Kingdom, which had eight Qings at the same time, only three won in the end and carved up the Jin Kingdom.

It was also under the influence of Zhao Weihan that Zhou Li completely collapsed, and Zhuxia completely entered the unjust battle of tearing his face, and all kinds of military techniques began to explode.

In the Jin Kingdom, the battle between the nobles is life and death, or the trend of everyone dying together has not spread all over the world.

Wars full of preferential treatment and etiquette for the aristocracy everywhere are the mainstream of society.

When he came to Suiguo to ask for King Chu Zhao, it was very normal for him to become good friends with Shao, the great-grandson of Sima of Suiguo, and even to exchange gifts.

Maybe in the tomb of the house, there is also a gift from the great-grandson Shao.
