Volume 10, Chapter 1: The Domination of Xiangzhou
In the past, Daqin often referred to Xiangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Ganzhou, and Yangzhou as prefectures
"New Five States" to commemorate the achievements of Emperor Yongshuo in expanding his territory. Of course, the natives of Kyushu said this
The word "new" most of them has the meaning of self-esteem and self-proclaimed orthodoxy in the Central Plains, and most of the residents of the new five states will be secretly poked and poked when they arrive in Kyushu
"Southern Barbarians". However, after a hundred years of vigorous development, the culture of the Central Plains has burst into full vitality in the new five states, and the humanistic economy of the new five states will soon keep pace with the entire Central Plains, and even have the momentum to surpass it.
The people of Kyushu began to be silent, and when they came to the New Five Prefectures to make a living, they often heard a faint voice behind them
The ridicule of "Beiyi" will most likely be very angry because of this. After fighting for all these years, the South and the North finally put aside their prejudice and reached a consensus - the fourteen states of the Central Plains.
The contempt and mustard that have arisen over the past hundred years have gradually become a legend after tea and dinner in the ears of later generations.
The world is the same, and it is really the trend of the times...... This is Xiangzhou, splendid rivers and mountains, outstanding people. Nanyue Hengshan is full of mountains and mountains; Tianmen Mountain Zhong Lingyuxiu; Phoenix City is full of people, simple and beautiful; The mountains of Orange Island are red all over, and the forests are dyed; The mountains are continuous, the vast sea of clouds, the flying turbulent waterfalls, splashing in the meantime...... It's a pity that such an intoxicating Xiangzhou is happening with a tragic thing - Lishui.
The cabin is too crowded. The little girl couldn't help but think in her heart. Feeling the squeeze coming from beside her, she couldn't help but shrink to the right, but who knew that the space on the right was also filled, the little girl was thin and weak, where could she squeeze other people, but the person on the right was squeezed by her, and she sensed the weakening power, but she intensified and pressed over.
"Ahh The little girl screamed in pain. This fishing boat is only four or five zhang long, and the space in the cabin is even smaller, but at this time, there are more than ten people in the cabin.
Half an hour ago, they were thrown into the cabin with their hands tied and their eyes covered with black cloth, and your hands pressed against my chest, and my feet on him, and he was even more pitiful, except for this foot, whose ass sat on his face...... Like fish salted in a jar, everyone crushed each other, wrestling secretly in the airtight cabin full of sweat and body odor.
can
Unbeknownst to the "fish", even if he took the entire cabin, the end result would be the same - it would be properly packaged and sent to an unknown place as a commodity.
Maybe it's a black coal kiln, maybe it's a big gold mine, Goolan, the eunuch's house, and the deep mountains...... The little girl huddled in it, like a shrimp with a hunched body,
"Shrimp" struggled slightly, the whole
The "jar" boiled again, and in the confusion, someone's head hit the bulkhead and sent out
The muffled sound of "Peng Peng" ......
"Be honest!" An iron rod came out of it, and violently poked and stabbed indiscriminately,
The "fish" were in pain, avoided them one after another, and scattered in the corners. The iron rod poked more than a dozen times before it was slowly withdrawn, and the blood had already covered the body of the stick, ticking and slipping.
In the middle of the cabin,
"Shrimp" curled up on the ground, his face buried downward, slowly dripping dark red blood. A cyclops poked its head in, and dragged the shrimp out.
"Poof." There was the sound of falling water outside. The one-eyed dragon held the river water and rinsed his palm:
"Dogs. Mother-raised, won't you die later? Delay Lao Tzu's business......" Then he held on to the side of the boat and shouted to the rear:
"It's all sharp!" There were dozens of such ships in the rear, and when they heard the shouts of the one-eyed dragon, they all came in response.
"Yes." ………… Zijiang, the shipman's wharf, has just broken out into a firefight.
"Here we take over, live for the for, die for the opposition." When the leader of the Cao Gang heard this naked threat, he could only swallow his anger.
As far as the eye could see, the ships on the dock had been destroyed, the wooden planks were piled with corpses, and the severed limbs and wreckage were countless, and the leader of the Cao Gang looked down and looked at his hand, his thumb had been cut off, and the blood was pouring in.
The ring, which represented the majesty of the gang leader, also flew out with the thumb and was trampled under the feet of a pair of boots. The leader of the Cao Gang looked up and looked at the owner of the boots:
"The Cao Gang confessed and gave me back the ring." The owner of the boots, a strong man with a bearded face, grinned:
"Let's get it." He took a step back, revealing the severed finger under his feet. He's clearly insulting me! The leader of the Cao Gang looked around left and right, and nearly a hundred brothers were filled with righteous indignation, eager to fight the bearded man immediately.
He had wanted to do the same before, so he was forced into such a field now. As a last resort, he crawled over, reached out to scratch the severed finger, and was about to catch it, when the boot kicked mercilessly, cutting the finger.
"Whew-" The severed finger made a sound of breaking the air, falling into the water of the Taotao River, the bloody side had attracted a lot of swimming fish, at this time the severed finger flew in, and a carp actually crossed the surface of the water and swallowed the severed finger into the belly.
The carp entered the water, stirring up a wave ...... then quickly escaped to the bottom of the river. The leader of the Cao Gang looked at this scene, his face was like ashes.
"Whoa...... Huh. The bearded man pursed his lips lightly, making a provocative sound of teasing the cat and dog, and the leader of the Cao Gang looked up in despair.
"Remember, when you see us in the future, bow your head and be a man...... Pack it up, and in two hours, I'll take over. Then the bearded man shouted, and he took hundreds of thugs with him.
Although they walked away, the laughter of the haha kept echoing in the ears of the remnants of the Cao Gang, and even the sound of the turbulent river could not be covered.
The leader of the Cao Gang still knelt in place, like a stone statue. He's dead. ………… On the bank of the Yuan River, Wuling County, Yihong Courtyard, backyard.
"Little sao hoof, when you enter the old lady's yard, what kind of chaste martyr do you pretend? Beat! Hit me hard! "The old bustard's scolding, the whipping, the woman's screams...... These voices are mixed in one place, forming an eerie contrast with the song and swallow language in the front yard, constituting the daily normalcy.
This may not be the norm for all Qinglou in the world, such as Tong Qizhi, who lives in Jiangfu, who has never had such an experience when he was an Oiran in the past.
But at least in Yihongyuan, in Wuling County, and in Xiangzhou, this is the rule.
"I don't pick up customers!" The bound girl protests loudly:
"I'm here to be a handyman, not a prostitute. Female! ”
"Your gambling uncle sold you a long time ago, what kind of good people are you pretending to be here? Cheap billet! The old bustard took out the deed of betrayal from his bosom and stretched it out to the girl:
"I have given him ten taels of silver, you don't accept guests, does the old lady treat you as a bodhisattva?" Ten taels!
The girl's eyes widened—when she came in the morning, her uncle gave her two cents of silver, saying that it was an advance of wages, and she was overjoyed and grateful to Dade......
"Ten taels? How can it be ten taels? The girl murmured, and then with a look of horror in her eyes, she cried out:
"I'm not a prostitute. Woman, you let me go back, I'll go to my uncle, I'll sue the official! You beasts! Woo woo woo ...... "The only thing that answered her was a heavy whip.
After a stick of incense, the girl fainted for the seventh time, and the bustard raised his hand to block the water that was about to be splashed:
"Don't get it, this little slut has a fierce temperament, don't beat her to death." Turtle Gong offered advice:
"Why don't you feed some spring wine? I've been with the guests tonight, so I'll get the red money in my hands first, and then I'll talk about ......"
"Put your fart, you really poured the spring wine, a dead fish, how much is it worth to fall red?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The old bustard crossed his waist to look at the girl, but suddenly saw the turtle servants bowing behind his back.
The old bustard turned his head and immediately smiled:
"Wei Ye, I am interested in coming here to be happy, the slave family is looking forward to it day and night, and finally I am looking forward to you......" Wei Ye looked at an ordinary person, but his lips were white, and the bags under his eyes were empty, and he knew that he was overindulgent at a glance.
Wei Ye's chin raised slightly:
"What's going on?"
"A cheap billet who entered the yard but didn't accept guests, the slave family is teaching her the rules."
"Is it taught?"
"She's so strong that she's been knocked unconscious seven times, and she still refuses to respond." Wei Ye nodded, and then left, and returned after a while, with a tanuki with teeth and claws in his hand, and he knew that he had been hungry for many days.
Wei Ye walked up to the girl, tore off her belt, pulled it away with his left hand, and threw the tanuki into it with his right hand.
Cats are most afraid of cages, let alone trousers that are countless times more cramped than cages? So the cat began to drill around, trying to find an exit, and when nothing came of it, it became more and more irritable and began to scratch and bite.
Half of Wuling County heard the heart-rending scream, and even the red-eyed gamblers in the underground casinos raised their heads one after another, including the girl's uncle.
After a cup of tea, Wei Ye raised the bloody tanuki and raised his chin:
"Do you know the rules?" At this moment, the brave girl died completely. There was one of the most obscene prostitutes in the world.
………… Xiangjiang, Changsha County. The county order governs a county, and the prefect governs a prefecture, should the supreme governor of that state be called the governor?
In fact, according to the laws of Great Qin, the highest governor of a state is the political envoy, and he is a member of the imperial court who is in charge of the political affairs of a state, governs the people's livelihood, and seeks benefits for the people.
At the door of the envoy's mansion, the drunken envoy was holding a person's shoulders and saying something with a big tongue.
"Okay, next time, I'm not allowed to bring any gifts." The person who was being held was dressed in a Confucian shirt, white and clean, like a scholar, but he didn't even have an official body, why could he be worthy of so much attention from the political envoy?
The scholar smiled:
"We have the most tea in Xiangzhou, and I have piled up a few boxes at home, but it is vulgar and can't be tasted...... Lord Suwen, you are proficient in the tea ceremony, the so-called sword is given to heroes, and red powder is given to beautiful women, I patted my head and sent it to you, just hoping to enter the eyes of the famous family. ”
"Where to talk, where to talk." The political envoy waved his hand again and again:
"Baojing Golden Tea, Guzhang Maojian, Xiangzhou Black Tea, Baima Maojian, Anhua Qianliang Tea, Fu Brick Tea, Yuanling Jietan Tea...... These dozens of famous teas add up, I don't believe that anyone's tongue in the world can pick out thorns, hahahaha. ”
"It's good if you like it," the scholar smiled, and then bowed his hand:
"Say goodbye first, and don't work to send it away." The political envoy sent the scholar away and walked back to the study, where he opened more than ten large boxes casually
The box of "Fu brick tea" came to the nose with a burst of fragrance.
"The tea ceremony is ever-changing, and there is always a tongue that can pick out the thorn from it." The political envoy muttered to himself, and then stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the tea leaves scattered, revealing the golden light underneath:
"But there is no one who is willing to get along with money." ………… Xiangzhou is also known as Hunan, and Jingzhou is called Hubei.
The so-called lake is Yunmengze. The flow of the four waters converged in Yunmengze and rolled away from the Yueyang Tower. So all along, there is
"Yunmeng Tianxia water, Yueyang Tianxia Lou" reputation. Sao people and ink writers love to climb high and overlook here, see the water and sky, the wind and the moon are boundless.
At this moment, it is late autumn, and Yueyang Tower is full of tourists, but it is silent at the moment. At the top of the three-storey building.
The one-eyed dragon, the bearded man, the great man, and the four scholars stood respectfully with their hands down, waiting to be dispatched. It was a woman, with her back to the four men, standing with her hands in her hands, looking quietly into the distance, like a sculpture.
She had been in this position for nearly half an hour, but the four people behind her did not dare to show the slightest impatience. Any person will become very patient when facing the underground master of Xiangzhou.
The woman looked at the vast Yunmengze in the distance, and her heart was full of emotion. She loves this big lake, which holds four waters, swallows the Yangtze River, and dominates everything.
Like herself.
