Chapter Seventy-Seven: Yan Huang and the Origin of China
readx;
It is said that since Emperor Xuanyuan implemented a series of centralized policies among the human race, many tribal leaders with different intentions have been intimidated by the power of the central government and stopped. But this is not always the case, and in some powerful tribes, the undercurrent is even more turbulent because www.biquge.info of this policy.
It is said that there is a Jiang tribe, because Shennong's is the body of fire, so it is also called Yandi, so there is a Jiang tribe is also known as Yandi tribe, the tribe is deeply proud of the emperor Shennong, and has never looked at other tribes in the eyes, Shennong has been suppressed by Shennong when he is in power, but since Shennong's preaching, his son Yu Gang inherited his position in the Jiang tribe and became the new tribal patriarch, without the suppression of Shennong, but under the leadership of Yu Gang, the tribe has become more proud and arrogant.
It is said that this Yu Gang was smart and studious since he was a child, and later practiced martial arts, since he inherited the tribal patriarch, there were people from the surrounding Dongyi tribe who were not satisfied with the leadership of the Jiang tribe, so Yu Gang prepared to build an army, fought against the Dongyi people, defeated the enemy many times, and was deeply praised and worshiped by the clansmen, and it can be said that he is a great general who can fight well.
However, it is said that the human race began to have a trace of class dignity during the Shennong period, and Shennong's passing on the position of human emperor to outsiders has already caused a trace of dissatisfaction among the Jiang tribe. This Yu Gang heard that Shennong followed Fu Xi's example and passed on the position of the co-lord of the world to Xuanyuan, and he was very unconvinced, and often said to others: "My father is the emperor, and the position of the emperor should be inherited by me. ”
Since defeating the Dongyi tribe, he is even more ambitious, and he does not take Xuanyuan in his eyes, and wants to take Xuanyuan and replace him as the emperor, but Xuanyuan's position as the emperor was passed on to him by his father, and there is a saint to testify, the real name is right, although he has the heart to replace him, but he suffers from the lack of a suitable righteous name, and it is difficult to convince the people, so although he has ambitions, he can only wait for the opportunity.
At this time, when he heard about Xuanyuan's policies to strengthen the centralization of power, such as dividing the state and the wilderness, establishing cities, and dispatching officials, he was immediately angry. Although this Yu Yan does not have the talent of the human emperor, he can also be called the master of Fang Xiong, and his vision is also quite extraordinary. At a glance, I can see the power of these policies of strengthening centralization implemented by Emperor Xuanyuan. This is a soft knife killing, and the intention is to weaken the authority of the tribal leader, so that the tribal leader cannot support his own army and compete with the center.
Yu Yan knew very well that the reason why the previous tribal leaders were so majestic was because according to the previous human system, the central government indirectly ruled the people of each tribe through the leaders of each tribe. The common people first accepted the rule of the tribal chiefs to which they belonged, and then the rule of the central government. These policies pursued by Xuanyuan today are aimed at fundamentally changing this situation.
Once the tribes accept these policies, many people may feel unaccustomed at first, but it will not be long before these policies slowly take root in the hearts of the people, and the people will have an intuitive concept of the central rule in their hearts. There will no longer be blind obedience to the personal leadership of tribal leaders, and the authority of the central government will slowly take root in the hearts of the people. At that time, the tribal leaders will be willing to disobey the central government, and they will not have the support of the common people.
Yu knew that it was time for him to make a decision, and now that the power of a series of centralized policies had not yet been revealed, and his personal prestige had not been weakened. If he didn't take advantage of the current seizure of power in the world, and wait until a series of centralized policies were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he would have the heart to compete with Xuanyuan for the throne of the emperor, and he would not have that capital.
It just so happened that some people in the Jiang clan were also accustomed to being arrogant, and they also expressed their dissatisfaction with the sudden need to accept the leadership of officials appointed by the central government. Yu Gang was thinking about this matter before, but now when he saw the performance of everyone in the clan, his heart lit up, and he thought, isn't this the opportunity that God gave him? So he immediately convened the elders of the clan to discuss, and the elders of the clan were originally dissatisfied with Xuanyuan's strengthening of centralized power, so they also agreed, and then Yu Gang trained the soldiers night and night, wanting to seize the authority of the world with the elite soldiers in his hands.
After a period of accumulating strength, Yu Gang thought that the time had come, so he embezzled the name of Shennong, called himself "Emperor Yan", and sent troops to attack Xuanyuan in the name of Xuanyuan's disrespect for the ancestral training and unauthorized change of the ancestral system.
The other tribes saw that the Yandi tribe sent troops to fight, some were grateful for the merits of the Emperor Shennong, and some had some other thoughts in their hearts, wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Yu was overjoyed when he saw that his army was overwhelmed, so he fought all the way to the land of Hanquan. At this time, Xuanyuan in Chendu heard that his subordinates reported that there was a Jiang clan patriarch Yu Gang raised an army to make a rebellion, and now the soldiers are about to fight to Hanquan, he was furious, he didn't want the war to happen, but he was disappointed when he saw Yu Gang's approach, so he immediately gathered the army and personally took command all the way to the field of Hanquan, the army marched in a hurry for three days and three nights, and finally came to the field of Hanquan at dawn, built a camp tent, just settled down, there was a report from Tanmalai, and the troops of the Yandi tribe also happened to come at this time, and they had set up camp ten miles away。
The next day, the flags were unfurled, the drums were beating in unison, the soldiers on both sides held their swords, standing solemnly in the field of Hanquan, a solemn atmosphere filled the entire battlefield, and birds and beasts within a hundred miles avoided one after another.
Xuanyuan said to the people under the account: "Now the enemy and I are all meeting here, the two armies are fighting bravely, the benevolent are invincible, Yu is reckless, and the sword soldiers are in vain, causing disaster to the people, we are the will of the people to fight without a way, and we will be able to defeat Yu Gang!"
After saying that, everyone hugged Xuanyuan in the middle of the army, Xuanyuan's right hand was raised above his head, the drum beat stopped for a while, and it was quiet for a moment. Seeing that Xuanyuan had stopped the drums, Yu Gang also issued an order, and the drums were stopped, and the two sides were silent for a while, as if a more powerful storm was brewing!
Xuanyuan came to the front of the battle and shouted: "Yu Gang, why did you rebel!"
I saw a rough voice from over there, saying: "Hmph, Xuanyuan, how can you be virtuous, you actually don't respect the ancestral teachings, and change the ancestral system without permission, how can you be worthy of the position of the co-master of the human race?"
Xuanyuan snorted coldly and said sharply: "Yu Xuan, you are the son of the Shennong Holy Emperor in vain, and now you are saying that you have raised a sword for your own selfish desires, ignoring the great cause of our human race, what kind of face do you have to face the Shennong Holy Emperor who is now in the Huoyun Palace looking at us!"
Yu Yan choked for a moment, then snorted coldly, and said: "Don't talk nonsense! At this point, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, what else is there to say? The crowd will listen to the order and kill!" In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers on Yu Gang's side pressed over violently.
Xuanyuan knew that he needed to do a fight, and it was useless to say anything at this time, so he shook the order flag in his hand, and a general led a group of soldiers to rush to the opposite side, the two armies were instantly entangled, and suddenly blood was splashed, and the screams came and went, watching one by one clansmen fall, one by one life was gone, Xuanyuan's heart was full of sorrow, after all, this is his own clan, the same room, what a generation, is this a war? Xuanyuan looked at the figures that could never stand up, and thought in his heart.
However, Xuanyuan knew that now was not the time for hesitation and grief, the sooner the war ended, the more lives of the clan could be saved, so he waved the command flag in his hand again, only to see a burst of confusion from behind the army of the Jiang tribe, it turned out that Xuanyuan had divided the army into two parts before coming, one part was facing the enemy head-on, and one part bypassed the Yugang army, ambushing in the back, and waiting for a good time to give the Yugang army a fatal blow.
Yu Yan was furious, and he shouted at the Yellow Emperor: "Xuanyuan, you dare to cheat!"
Xuanyuan didn't want to cause more casualties, after all, they were all Terran people, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, you and the other people on the other side are your own people, now that Yu's defeat has been decided, do you have to sacrifice more clansmen?"
Seeing this, Yu Gang knew that the general trend had gone, and he didn't want to cause more casualties, after all, they were all his own people, and his ambitions were all in vain, and he was extremely disheartened for a while, and when he saw the disheveled soldiers around him, he said dejectedly: "Let's go, Xuanyuan, but you won, whether to kill or chop at your disposal, I just hope you can bypass my people." ”
Xuanyuan sighed and said, "Yu Gang, aren't your people my people? We are all people of the human race, and we should live in harmony and prosper the human race, but because of your own selfishness, you caused the sacrifice of innocent people, don't you regret it?"
When Yu Gang heard this, he finally knew why his father passed the throne of the human emperor to Xuanyuan and not to himself, it turned out that he was missing a benevolent heart, but he didn't expect that he had brought so much harm to the human race because of his own selfishness, and at this time Yu Gang was already extremely disheartened, so he regretted it greatly, and said: "Yu Gang is willing to surrender and let the human emperor dispose of it." ”
Xuanyuan looked at the son of Shennong in front of him, his heart was full of complicated thoughts, but then he stepped forward to help Yu Gang and said: "If the human race wants to prosper, it needs the joint efforts of us and others, Yu Ran, I hope you will keep in mind the precept of today, follow your father Shennong, and benefit the people." Then he released the soldiers of Yu and Qi.
Yu Yan saw Xuanyuan's approach, and knew that he was not as good as Xuanyuan in terms of temperament or heart for the benefit of the people, and he was greatly admired, so he then merged the Jiang tribe into Xuanyuan's Youxiong tribe, because Shennong was called Emperor Yan, and Xuanyuan was the body of Tude, called the Yellow Emperor, so they were collectively called the Yanhuang tribe, and the descendants of later generations were also called the descendants of Yanhuang!
After this battle, Xuanyuan was in great power, firmly established his authority among the Terrans, and faintly had the atmosphere of unifying the Terrans, and the other tribes were panicked and accepted the centralization of power, and various decrees were also unimpeded at the same time.
