Chapter 35: Zhao Pusheng, the First Disciple of the Two Blades (Asking for Votes and Investment)
Chen Sijiu drew his sword out of the sheath and was about to continue to enter the sword.
Long Jiao begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, I can't stand it......"
Chen Sijiu reached out and scratched her nose.
Long Jiao pursed her lips, her eyes flickered, and she murmured in her heart: "It's a pity, I'm going to marry the emperor of Dayuan......"
And Chen Sijiu looked at her, thinking in his heart, how could he snatch Long Jiao, a noble girl in the river, from the hands of Emperor Dayuan.
……
Shangdu Kaiping City is very large.
This place is known as the country of ten thousand tents, a long time ago, the Xiongnu, the Turks, there are people grazing in this place, gradually gathered, and later in the Uighurs, the Uighurs had cast in this place, the Liao Khitan time, this place is the Mongolian tribes are rich in water and grass, and the kings often meet the land.
To Kublai Khan to seize the throne of the Great Emperor, he built a city here, the city is very wide, echoing with the capital of Beiping, from the Central Plains, the Golden Horde and other places to transport huge stones and wood, and the craftsmen of the Flower Thorn Mould, the craftsmen of the Sultan of Heaven, the craftsmen of the Central Plains, the craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty, gather the world's good craftsmen to build the palace here, the palace is built with wood, stone, mud bricks, extremely luxurious and majestic.
Outside the royal city, there were many courtyards and tents.
The Khitan of Liao and the Jurchen of Jin are all fishing and hunting, in order to show that they do not forget to make a fortune from the white mountains and black waters, they have the habit of living in tents in summer, and the Mongolians are the same, divided into summer capital and winter capital, basically in summer in Shangdu Kaiping to escape the heat, winter in the capital of Beiping to avoid the cold.
The temperature difference between day and night is enormous, and nowadays it is often accompanied by hail and snowstorms, accompanied by floods and plague.
The business travelers, camel teams, and convoys from the south to the north are full of people.
The subdivision of this place, similar to that of the capital Beiping, has an area surrounded by a large fence, specializing in trading, which contains the spices of Samarkand, the gems in the river, gold, silverware, the leather goods of Liaoyang Province, the seal skin and fish skin of the extreme north of Lingbei Province, the pearls and silk of the south of the Yangtze River, the Shu embroidery of Sichuan and Shu, the Buddhist tools of the Qinghai-Tibet Xuanzheng Yuan, the gold utensils of the Golden Horde, swords, amber, and all kinds of department stores are very many, but most of them are mainly luxury goods, gold and silver utensils, and the people use very few things.
Most of the medicinal materials, food, and various daily necessities needed by the people were sold by the Han people in Shanxi, and the tents in the Dashilar were sold for Mongolian Dagenjiao, and ordinary poor people could not afford them at all.
A team of Mongolian warriors, dressed in trolling, wearing hats, carrying Mongolian scimitars and spears around their waists, the Semu Hui merchants led camels, horses and ox carts along the way to sell, not far away there are the naan pits of the Wuer people, selling naan cakes and barbecue, and back to the monopoly of cattle and sheep into the water offal, farther away, the Han people are directly hanging the pigs, cutting the meat to make braised and boiled fire, as well as roast pork, the roasting of pork, is very common in Dayuan, and the barbecue of pork belly is particularly delicious.
There are special cattle markets, special horse markets, special sheep markets, special department stores, as well as catering areas, storage areas, sundries, and slave trading areas.
In the cattle and sheep market, the Mongolian small root foot of the long, hundred, a long, with cattle and sheep to sell, and Shanxi Han merchants, color eyes back to the merchant hand to negotiate pricing, although this place is said to be in the capital of the Great Yuan, but also very not very peaceful, once exposed gold and silver, night tent is looted is a common thing, the Mongols themselves in the steppe will loot as a common thing, and are not ashamed.
And there are many guards stationed here, Kipchak, Asuwei, Tang Wuwei, etc., many of the guards are of different races, language barriers between each other, different beliefs, resulting in a mixed market here, and contains huge risks.
That is, once there is chaos here, or there are seedlings of turmoil, it will quickly turn into uncontrollable turmoil.
In addition to the Intramuros and the market, there are also various temples in the area.
The Slavs of the Golden Horde all believed in Nestorianism, and a long time ago, the Mongolian Nabarian tribe, Sun Khan, etc. all believed in Nestorianism, so there is a cross temple here, in which there are many blonde and blue-eyed people who return to preach here, and there are also sorcerer tents that believe in immortality, and various Mongolian medicine flows.
Taoist temple is not uncommon in this place, when the living immortal mound is the opportunity to travel thousands of miles to the west, a word to stop killing, is called the living immortal by Genghis Khan, the Taoist atmosphere here is actually very strong, most of the Han people in the north believe in Buddhism and Taoism.
In addition, there are Muslim people who believe in heaven, in addition to the use of Hanchen by Kublai Khan, there is also a serious Chinese Liao nobleman Yelu Chucai as the prime minister, and a large number of Tianfang Hui, especially the minister Ahma, many places in the city are set by Ahmad in accordance with the customs of the heavens, so the Tianfang temple here is very large.
Later, Ahmad became bigger, Kublai Khan felt that the people were unreliable, so he supported Hanchen and Buddhism, and then there was the Dharma King Ba Si Pa, when Ba Si Pa, the monk Lama who came from the Qinghai-Tibet Xuanzheng Academy, as long as he was a Buddha head monk, he could be in a high position in Da Yuan, and the demon monk Yang Lian Zhenjia was a disciple of Ba Sipa.
The parallel existence of various monasteries and the mixing of religions also led to various conflicts in the area, but with the strong military deterrence of the Mongols, they did not break out for the time being.
Zhu Chongba and Peng Yingyu led a few children rescued from the beggar gang to follow Long Jiao's car tent and enter Kaiping City.
Here, in addition to the caravan needs to pay a daily booth fee, there is no need to pay a fee to enter the city, because there is no city wall here, the city wall is some low mud walls, with "Huji" mixed with water and grass to tamp, the Mongols believe that locking people in the city wall will turn the warriors into sheep, and lose the wildness and combat power of the steppe heroes, so they did not build a tall city wall here.
There is one more reason.
Not long ago, the battle between the two capitals of the Great Yuan Dynasty was looted, and the emperor and Mongolian ministers who had been in the capital of Beiping for a long time did not want a fortified city on the grassland that could not be captured.
Peng Yingyu pulled a child, tightened the child's clothes, and said, "You have to follow closely, don't be slapped by the beggars' call Huazi again." ”
Although the child was young, he was very sensible and well-behaved, and when he heard this, he nodded heavily, and took the remaining children with him, and followed hand in hand.
Zhu Chongba said curiously: "Yingyu, do you really want to take them as apprentices?" ”
Peng Yingyu rolled her eyes and asked, "Why not?" I'm not stupid, I found out, I'm only a little short of the big man's strength, I don't want to learn his martial arts, it's better to practice by myself, the rest of the children, I all accept them as disciples, I am the Yingzi generation, they are the ordinary characters. ”
"The older kid just now, I'm going to teach him double knives, his surname is Zhao, his name is Zhao Gou'er, I named him Zhao Pusheng, what do you think?"
"Twin knives? Will you? ”
Zhu Chongba expressed doubts.
"I don't, but I listen to the opera singing, double knives to break spears, this Mongolian northern Han army mostly uses spears, I taught him double knives, he will cut Mongolian Tartars in the future."
Build the palace.
Zhu Chongba looked at a few children and was very happy
