Five hundred years ago, in the era of Emperor Yan, a group of Taihao's descendants entered Bayuan, and they were hindered by wind and rain on the way to the trek, so they had to camp and rest. After the storm passed, a rainbow was seen hanging in the sky, so the leader ordered a permanent camp to be built here, leaving a part of the clan to garrison it, and the rest rested for a while before continuing on their way.

This leader was the founding king of the country of Pakistan, and during his rest and stationing here, he recruited people from various tribes in the nearby wilderness to open up the way. Lu Wuding, the ancestor of the Lu Village people, joined the team of the ancestors of Ba State here. At the beginning, it was just a simple camp, but then it gradually developed and established a city outline, and the name was Feihong City.

Feihong City is one of the oldest castles in Bayuan, and it is also the largest city in the current Xiangmuro country except for the national capital. The word "pool" is used to describe the "city" because it is surrounded by a tall and sturdy wall, which looks like a pond that holds water. However, the outline of the city is not only the shape of the city, the founding king also formulated a set of ritual system, and successive generations have continuously supplemented and improved this system.

The city was to set up a military formation and drill to train elite soldiers. The size of the military formation is related to the size of the city and the number of people in the territory under its jurisdiction, and in peacetime, the standing garrison is not less than four formations, symbolizing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The duty of the military array is, of course, to protect the territory and the people, and it is customary to inspect every village and every road under the jurisdiction of the city every quarter.

The quarterly patrol is not only a symbol of protecting the territory and the people, but also conveying the latest news about the castle and the recent events of the people, as well as the news of the country sent by Lord Kazemasa to convey to the castle.

The road leading to a remote village may be rarely walked, but it will become deserted in the wind and rain, and a whole army patrolling the city is tantamount to leveling the road and removing the weeds and shrubs that have grown. Except for special circumstances, it is necessary to recruit manpower to rebuild, and basically the passage of all roads in the territory can be guaranteed.

The earliest city outline was also developed from villages, but after it formally established the ritual system, it was not just a large village. Even if an ordinary large village has built the same wall, it cannot be called a castle outline. For example, according to the regulations, there is a warehouse in the city, and the warehouse must be stored for one year's food for the residents of the city.

For most of the people living in the city were officials, soldiers, craftsmen, merchants, and others, and most of them did not farm, but engaged in other jobs. In the event of a war, the city must be besieged, and there must be enough reserves to hold on

No matter what kind of enemy attack, it needs logistical support, and after the enemy surrounds the city, it is even if the grain from the local fields is harvested on the spot for food. At most, there is one harvest in one season, and more materials still need to be transported from the rear for a long time, which is difficult to last. The inhabitants of the city can hold out for help, or they can try to fight back.

Whenever there is a major war, the nearby villages that get the news will also transfer their population and food to the city as long as they have time, so as to prevent slaughter or plunder, which is an important meaning of building the city wall.

Such large-scale wars are usually rare, but natural disasters and famines are common. In the event of a large-scale famine, the grain in the city's warehouse is also used for disaster relief, which is a kind of strategic reserve. In accordance with the provisions of national law, the harvest season is peaceful. There should be enough food for one year in the barn.

Ruoshan, the leader of the alliance in the wilderness, has been officially named the lord of Shanshui City not long ago. Ruoshan appointed Gu Xin as the warehouse master of Shanshui City, and he was in charge of this kind of thing.

Every year, during the slack season, the city will requisition and mobilize the people of various tribes within its jurisdiction to repair and build new roads and bridges, renovate river embankments, reclaim wilderness fields, dredge irrigation ditches, and make all kinds of public goods. This is called servitude. Only nobles with officially recognized status were exempt from military service, and those who had reached the beginning of the realm and were able to cultivate were exempt from servitude. In addition to conscription, a food tax was levied on the castle according to a certain percentage of its property. In order to enrich the middle school of the country.

It is also the largest bazaar for the people of the territory to organize trade and trade or exchange goods on their own, as well as a place for exchanging information and learning various skills. Officials also teach the inhabitants of the various tribes in the territory to cultivate crops, cultivate fields, make zuò and use agricultural tools.

This kind of city governance system emerged with the establishment of the country of Pakistan 500 years ago, and the tribes in the vast Ba Yuan bid farewell to the ignorant and barbaric era. The main sacrifice of Ba twice a year in spring and autumn is to first sacrifice to the Taihao Emperor, which is already a symbol of Shinto, and secondly, to worship the founder of the country, which is not only the ancestor of the monarchs of the past dynasties, but also gradually became the ancestor of all the tribes living in Ba Yuan.

If it weren't for the ancestors who opened up and established the country of Ba and left this qiē for future generations, then the living conditions of the tribes on the Ba Yuan today are probably not much different from those demon tribes in the depths of the wilderness, and the tiger baby will not be able to see such a magnificent Feihong City.

Ancestor worship is a symbol that symbolizes a common spiritual inheritance and identity, as well as a source of inheritance that is possessed in reality. For example, if Shanshui City is still there hundreds of years later, I am afraid that the mountain master will become the ancestor of the Shanshui clan and accept the sacrifices of future generations.

......

The city wall of Feihong City is three zhang high and one zhang wide, and is built with a stone fill. In the four important places on both sides of the city gates, the walls were four zhang high and one zhang and five feet wide. The gate is made of wide stones, which can accommodate two carriages to travel by mistake, and the totem of Feihong City is engraved above the arch of the gate, which is in the shape of a rainbow.

The tiger baby followed the village treasure through the mountains, and climbed a high slope when the sun shadow was slanting westward, and saw Feihong City. The city in the distance was a behemoth he had never seen before, and Pan Gu stood beside him and barked for a long time, wagging his tail very excitedly, obviously feeling eye-opening.

Murabao pointed down the mountain and said, "There is a direct road to the city, we have already inserted it from the field, and we have not passed through the villages along the way. Then he turned his head and said, "I'm afraid the sergeant I led is still following behind, I don't know when I will be able to catch up?"

Huwa replied: "I see that they are all very skillful, and there will be no danger, and you can see the footprints in the snow, and you can see that we have entered the city after chasing here." As he spoke, he walked down the hill.

The road leading to Rainbow City was wide and flat, but it was a bit muddy at the moment, because many people passed by after the snow. They saw a number of pedestrians, all of whom were out of the city and wanted to return before sunset, because the gates would be closed after dark. Led by Murabao, who is familiar with the terrain, the tiger baby arrived before the city gate was closed.

On the way, Huwa told the village treasure in detail about his experience in Baixi Village. After the initial shock, the more Mura Bao listened, the more he became fascinated, and later he even felt a little enthusiastic, wishing that he could not replace Lingbao to organize and lead everyone to fight against the Liukou.

At this time, Mura Bao no longer doubted what Hu Bao said, because Hu Wa did not need or could make up such a shocking lie, and she could describe such clear details, which was completely consistent with the situation that Mura Bao was familiar with.

Ahead is the east gate of Feihong City, and the sergeants guarding the city are obviously more strict than usual, and their equipment is more neat. Usually they only wore waist knives when they were on duty, but today they also took out their shields and spears. Every resident who entered the city was subjected to interrogation, not a body search but a face search, because most of the residents were familiar with each other, and the sergeants mainly looked out for unfamiliar faces.

The garrison sergeant had apparently received a new order to raise his guard, and two squads were placed on either side of the gate, and a leader commanded them. Huwa lowered her head and ordered: "You go play by yourself, I have something to do, and I will blow the bamboo whistle when I want to find you." ”

As soon as Pan Gu heard this, he jumped up excitedly, and rushed out with his tail wagged. The tiger baby wanted to see the city lord, and Murabao thought that he felt inconvenient to take a dog, so he let the dog wander around the nearby mountains by himself, and he was not afraid that it would run away. Unexpectedly, the flower-tailed puppy did not run into the field at all, and rushed into the city gate quickly through the muddy snow.

The soldiers defending the city were feeling a little impatient, and they were really bored when they stood outside the city gate on a cold day to check on the residents they were familiar with, so they hoped that it would soon get dark, so that they could close the gate and go back for a hot dinner.

At this moment, a puppy ran into the city on its own, but did not see its owner. Their task was only to check on people, of course, they didn't care about the dog, and by the time they reacted, the dog had already rushed into the city. Someone shouted, "Don't you see, there's a dog that has entered the city by itself!" and someone laughed: "Whose dog is this, is it in the field, will it be caught and eaten by dogs?"

At this time, there are more people returning to the city, and everyone is greeting and laughing, and there is no tension at all. The leader looked back at the city gate, and the puppy that suddenly rushed had already run away, and when he turned around, he shouted in surprise: "Captain Cunbao, weren't you sent to Shuangliu Village by the military master, why did you come back suddenly?"

Murabao, who walked to the city gate, replied, "We have an urgent matter to see the lord of the city, so we will return to the city before sunset." ...... Little Fat Brother, is Master Bingshi back?"

The leader of the sergeants who was in charge of guarding the city gate here was Xiao Fei, the deputy captain of the second team of the military formation of Feihong City, and he replied with a smile: "The soldier came back yesterday afternoon, and he hurriedly entered the city, and he also said that he had something urgent to see the city lord. ”

Murabao asked, "Why did you send two teams to guard this gate today, and the brothers also brought spears and shields?...... I see that there are still people with bows and arrows on the castle tower, what kind of formation is this?"

Xiao Fei smiled bitterly: "It's not an order from the military master, who wants us to pay attention to interrogating strangers, especially a young offspring." The Master also described in detail the man's clothing and appearance, just like the ...... next to you Captain Murabao, who is this descendant who came with you?" (To be continued......)
