[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Annan in this fictional era was also in the period of the "Ruan-Theng Controversy". First, the Zheng family controlled the ruler of the Hou Le dynasty who had been reduced to a puppet, and sat in the north, and the Zheng family first joined forces with the Khmer remnants to defeat the south. The Nguyen family unified the north and the south.Zheng's ambitions swelled and he abdicated the leader of the Houli Dynasty. Zheng was dazzled by several victories. He wanted to get rid of his status as a vassal state, and secondly, he wanted to plunder a large area of ​​Guangxi.At this time, the territory of Dazhou and Guangxi was larger than that of later generations, and the large area of ​​North Vietnam in later generations did not belong to China.

The Zheng family sent spies to investigate and found that the frontier defense in Guangxi was in ruins. The arrogant Zheng believed that the Zhou army was vulnerable to the experienced Annan army.

So this war happened just like the Burmese Toungoo Dynasty army who wanted to die during the Wanli period of the previous Ming Dynasty invaded the Ming Dynasty.

And at the beginning, Annan's army won the surprise attack and conquered several cities.It's just that the divisions who have fought for a long time in the later period have to rest and recuperate to suspend digestion.

At this time, the empress led the Sichuan army across the south of the Yangtze River to Nanning, Guangxi under the "royal driving personal conquest", and the Jingying Chinese army also went south to cooperate with the empress.

When the Sichuan army arrived in Guangxi, the second prince of the Zheng family was the vanguard. He had some military talents, but he wanted to take advantage of the exhausted army that had just arrived from afar to give Da Zhou a blow.The second prince heard that Emperor Da Zhou actually sent his wife to fight. Is this Emperor Da Zhou a bear hiding under a woman's skirt, or Da Zhou is actually a paper tiger and the whole country has no generals, and it's the turn of the harem to be in command?

The second prince was even more arrogant, and led [-] vanguard troops straight into Nanning.

In recent years, Xing Xiuyan has become more and more powerful. In fact, since she has been in the court these years, the court is equivalent to "the emperor and the empress are in court". She is equivalent to the empress in the Sichuan Special Zone.But in this era, a woman needs to be more powerful than a man to have such power, otherwise she will be looked down upon.Therefore, her behavior in recent years has been more domineering than Tu Yuanyi's, which complements power.

How could she allow Annan monkey to slap her in the face?

He personally led the third division of the Datong New Army to stop the attack in Fusui, and Baimen further improved Qi's army's tiger squatting guns and deployed them in the position. The advantage of the tiger squatting guns is that they are relatively light and suitable for transportation in places with complex terrain.

The phalanx of 1 people of Annan's army and the vanguard of 5000 people of the Datong Army confronted each other in front of the formation.Annan's army saw that in addition to the flag of the new army, there was also a bright yellow nine-tailed phoenix flag with a huge "Xing" written on it.

Annan is a subsidiary country of the Central Plains. It is familiar with some etiquette and customs of the Han people, but it cannot speak official Chinese. Now Chinese characters are used in China, so it is natural to recognize the word "Xing".

Only then did I know that it was the empress who came to the front of the battle in person. Because the person who came was the empress, the second prince asked a person who could speak Mandarin to call the battle and asked for a general, just like in the ancient times.

General Zhou was very surprised to see the Annan Vanguard Army and the elephant team, but this kind of elephant was something he had heard of before, so he was not afraid.

The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were very angry when they heard the other party's words were extremely rude to the Emperor and Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Datong Army came with strict military discipline, and the soldiers were only angry in their hearts.

As the commander of the Second Army of the Datong New Army, Wu Dafu was not used to command an army of only 5000 people in his current capacity, but came to supervise the battle with the Queen.The Datong Army performed their duties according to their ranks, and there would not be a situation where the commander-in-chief of the three armies commanded a battalion of the army like "Jiang/Baldhead", otherwise the two sides would be incompetent.

However, this kind of thing is fighting alone, and there is no limit.

Wu Dafu said: "Governor, the Annan monkey doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, please order to meet him for a while."

And all the generals around Xing Xiuyan also echoed, Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "The monkey said: 'Come on, let's play together and see who can do somersault well!' Then, do we have to go somersault with the monkey? "

The generals remained silent for three seconds, Zhang Jingliang, the brigade commander of the vanguard brigade, said, "What's the best opinion of the governor?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Without it, it's time to kill the monkey! Jingliang, you didn't command well in the first battle, and the governor will lose your rank."

Several generals with higher ranks than Zhang Jingliang looked at him jealously, Zhang Jingliang knew that this was not a joke.Zhang Jingliang is a distant nephew of Zhang Shan, Zhang Shan followed the queen, and defected to Zhang Shan after Sichuan was pacified.Because he knew a few words and had some skills, Zhang Shan recommended him to join the army. He performed outstandingly in several exercises after that, and was promoted all the way to be the brigade commander.

"Yes, Dudu!"

Immediately Zhang Jingliang commanded his men to beat the drums, and the soldiers cheered up when they heard the sound of the drums, and the heralds went to the rear artillery position to raise the flag.

"fire!"

One hundred tiger squatting cannons were fired in three batches and fired at Annan's army continuously. The probability of hitting the Annan army's formation was as high as 40%.Shrapnel missiles harvested human lives, and the army was in chaos. Artillery/soldiers are the gods of war.

The second prince of An Nanguo Pioneer was really stubborn, he drew his sword and rushed forward, yelling, to capture the words of Queen Da Zhou alive.He originally thought that the other party was like the Guangxi frontier army, but with more firearms.But cannons are not good for close-quarters combat, because cannonballs don't have eyes, and they won't just kill the enemy and not kill their own people.And one side can use the majesty of the elephant to disrupt the opponent's formation, trample their soldiers to death, and form a threat.

Not everyone has such a strong mentality to rush forward under the cannonballs. It's just that military orders cannot be violated. People riding elephants are okay, but there are more infantry after all.

The lucky ones rushed through the artillery/bullet attack, arrived within tens of meters, and were rounded by the gunfire again.But there were also more than a dozen elephants rushing over, and Sun Jingliang hurriedly ordered the fire attack team of one hundred people to spray kerosene and flames with ten water hose equipment.The flames suddenly rose in the middle of the elephant team in front. The elephant was afraid of the fire, and immediately ran back without listening to the instructions. The elephant broke into its own camp.

The second prince Annan ordered to withdraw the troops at this time, but most of the people could not hear them, and they fled in embarrassment.

Sun Jingliang ordered to pursue twenty miles to "clean the battlefield".

Xing Xiuyan looked at the corpses strewn across the field in front of him, the beacon smoke filled the air, and the smell of blood and burnt corpses wafted in the air. Standing on the chariot, he took out a white handkerchief and covered his nose.

Her face was cold: "Get someone to clean it up, and be careful not to pollute the environment and water sources."

……

Lu Kun is a proud man. As the commander of the Beijing Ban Yellow Shirt Army, it seems that in people's hearts, he is naturally nobler than generals of the same level.Because the Yellow Shirt Chinese Army is the "Central Army of the Central Army".

As the only imperial army dispatched by Zheng Annan, Lu Kun is a person with ideals. He is proud of his officialdom and has grown up in countless exercises. However, he has never won a big victory in actual combat, and naturally there are people behind him who disagree with him.

This is a good opportunity to come back to conquer Annan.

Lu Kun went south from Kyoto, while the Datong Army "went out of Sichuan to resist the war." According to the actual route, the actual route was similar, but when the resistance arrived in northern Guangxi, there was news that the queen had already fought a battle with the Annan army.

Lu Kun felt that this was a humiliation from the Yellow Shirts, so he marched hundreds of miles a day and finally approached Nanning.But on the way, I also met a few groups of native people. After inquiring, it was said that they were Miao and Yao people who came down from the mountains of Guizhou and Guangxi to help in the battle.

Lu Kun considered himself a "Confucian general", familiar with military history and military strategy, and knew the importance of "unity with the inside", but he did not expect that the "family and country feelings" of the southern natives who heard that the conflict between natives and guests were serious a few years ago were so heavy.

"There are so many loyal ministers and righteous men in the natives!" Lu Kun couldn't help sighing.

The staff officer Ding Cheng looked at his general's expression, thinking that there was a misunderstanding, he couldn't help coughing, and said: "General, this...is the queen's 'land reclamation order', saying that An Nanguo is treasonous, and the court will The Zheng Dynasty.However, the fertile soil praised by Anguo is unowned. Wherever our Dazhou natives followed the army and "cultivated wasteland and planted seeds" in Annan's land, that land belonged to him. "

"What?" Lu Kun was surprised.

Ding Cheng said: "General, this time the Empress is handsome, I'm afraid it's not as simple as retreating from the enemy, you have to be mentally prepared."

Lu Kun came back to his senses and said: "That's fine, there will be more battles in the future, and we didn't come too late."

The Great Zhou Dynasty extended to the pre-Ming Dynasty, and the provincial capital of Guangxi was set up in Guilin, and Nanning was just a mansion, but the queen set up the commander-in-chief in Nanning, close to the front line.

Lu Kun's [-] troops camped outside the city, and he and Ding Cheng, the staff officer, and the left, middle, and right "brigade" commanders went to visit the queen.

In the hall of the Nanning government office, the queen was accompanied by the 13-year-old third princess Tu Yuanyuan, Xiao Pan'er, the daughter of the Xiao family, two female staff officers, and a scribe.Tu Yuanyuan and Xiao Pan'er studied with the queen since they were 12 years old, and are now studying confidential work and staff work.

Women are naturally weaker than men in physical strength, but women are not prohibited from marching in the army in Sichuan. Although women are afraid of blood, they have natural advantages as staff officers and confidential officials, and they generally learn faster than men.

"At the end of the day, I will see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Empress!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "You guys have worked hard from afar, so please give me your seat."

Lu Kun and the others clasped their fists and said modestly before taking their seats.

Lu Kun said: "When the final general arrived in Guilin, he got the news that the empress has severely defeated the vanguard army of An Nanguo. Congratulations."

Xing Xiuyan smiled brightly, and said: "It's just a small battle, not worth mentioning. From now on, there will be more big battles waiting for you gentlemen."

Although everyone didn't dare to look up at the queen, they felt that her smile made people feel like a spring breeze, and they relaxed a little.

Lu Kun said: "Your Majesty, the last general requests to assign tasks immediately, and the Yellow Shirts are ready to fight against the enemy at any time."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Lu Aiqing don't need to worry, we came here in a hurry, we have already occupied the important town of Nanning, blocked its way to the north, and achieved the first step of strategic and tactical victory. An Nanguo's vanguard suffered a severe setback this time, and it is necessary to rest and reorganize, and dare not underestimate the enemy. Advance aggressively. Although the Great Zhou army is strong, but the medicine and food are lagging behind, we should not easily send troops deep, causing more casualties to our army. Moreover, most of the yellow shirt troops of the lords are from the north, and the north and south are not acclimatized. They should first train and adapt in Guangxi before fighting. , don’t be in a hurry.”

Lu Kun's generals were disappointed, but what the queen said was not unreasonable, so they had to give up.That night, the government government gave a small banquet, but everyone was busy with military affairs, so they didn't drink too much, so they left early.

After three or five days, many soldiers of the Yellow Shirt Army vomited and vomited, and everyone realized that what the queen said about the inaccuracy of the environment was not a lie.However, the situation of the Sichuan army is less. The Sichuan army is from the south, and the climate difference is not so big.

After a month, such situations in the Yellow Shirt Army did not go away, and after another four days of training, the queen called the generals to hold a pre-army meeting.

The Yellow Shirt Army just felt that the military uniform of the general of the Datong Army was eye-catching, what is this!

A yellow-green "arrow sleeve" blouse with four large and small pockets on the military uniform, a belt tied around the waist, mostly black long-barreled leather whips on the feet, a firecracker on each waist, and a fine steel moor Knife, with white gloves on his hand.The "extra-brimmed hats" of the generals they wear are also different in style, but they all have a new army emblem printed on the hats and military rank badges on their shoulders.

The queen also wore a uniform, and entered the hall with staff officers, confidential officials, and reporters behind her. The yellow shirt soldiers all paid homage, but the general of the Datong Army obeyed the order, "Stand at attention! Salute!"

With a crackling sound, those people straightened their backs and saluted a standard military salute, and then Lu Kun and other generals of the Yellow Shirt Army were embarrassed.

They all knelt on one knee, and they were shorter than their colleagues in the Datong Army.

The imperial army also uses military salutes, but it is not someone else, it is the queen!

"General Lu, you don't need to be too polite."

All the high-ranking officials were seated at the large rectangular conference table, while the lower-ranking military officers sat behind and listened, and the guards stood behind them.

A young Datong officer behind the queen shouted: "Everyone stand up!"

As soon as the voice fell, the generals of the Datong New Army stood up neatly with a solemn face, and took off their "new extravagant hats" in unison. The generals sitting in front of the table put their hats on the table and lined up in a straight line.

Except for the generals of the Yellow Shirt Army who didn't understand the custom, they could only follow suit without paying attention to the details.

Xing Xiuyan also stood up, took off her hat and placed it in front of the head table.

"Report to the Marshal, all the officers above the school level of the First Army of the Sichuan New Army of the Great Zhou with the designation 'Yuyi' report to you!" A tall middle-aged man who had never grown a beard was Zhang Hu, the bodyguard who was with Yanxiu back then. said loudly.

"Report to the Marshal, all officers above the school level of the Second Army of the Sichuan New Army in Dazhou, numbered 'Wu Yi' report to you!" The commander of the Second Army of the Sichuan New Army is Wu Dafu, who is married to Ziyue. Nearly forty, but because he has been in the army for a long time, he has not gained weight yet.

"Reporting to the Marshal, all the officers above the school level of the Third Army of the Dazhou Sichuan New Army with the designation 'Jingyi' report to you!" Xu Changgui was the one who spoke.

"Reporting to the Marshal, all the officers above the school level of the Fourth Army of the Dazhou Sichuan New Army with the designation 'Zhongyi' report to you!" The commander of the Fourth Army is Sun Fang.

The four armies of the Datong Army are its main front-line combat troops, and they are all old people around the queen.

Then came the heads of the equipment department, the food and grass department, the medical department, the minority guerrilla headquarters, and other logistical units.

Only the Yellow Shirt Army was surrounded before, but fortunately Lu Kun was smart, and finally shouted: "Report to the Marshal, all the military officers above rank four of the Yellow Shirt Army of the Great Zhou Jingying Forbidden Army report to you!"

Xing Xiuyan waved to everyone, and the members of the Datong Army sat down, and the generals of the Yellow Shirt Army all learned their lesson at this time, and sat down along with them.Now the empress is in charge, so follow her rules and do as the Romans do.

Xing Xiuyan also wore a well-fitting uniform, but the belt with epaulets was more gorgeous, and the buttons were all made of gold like a local tyrant.

She didn't pursue specialness, but she couldn't say no to the women in the clothing department who had such a little innovation.

Xing Xiuyan was already 29 years old at this time, not young in this age, but her appearance did not look old.

A pair of eyes are still so clear, like cold stars sweeping over every face, people from the Sichuan New Army are familiar with her, but they also know that no matter how kind the queen is, she is serious at this time, and her skin is tight.The people in the yellow shirts didn't dare to look up at all.

"The Great Zhou has been established for nearly a hundred years. It has never invaded the foreign country with the strong and the weak. We have a lot of grace for it. Because we are a country of etiquette and benevolence, the nobility of our Chinese nation is not reflected in defeating the weak! However, there are many supercilious people in the world. The wolves invaded our territory and killed our people. This is blatantly shitting on our soldiers! Shame! We came here today to recover the honor of our soldiers and let the Annan people see the iron fist of our Chinese nation .If they haven’t learned how to behave like a human being, what benevolence and etiquette should they have to treat ungrateful beasts? There will be blood and flames, as well as unforeseen dangers, but the light of victory will surely shine on us!”

The faces of hundreds of people present turned red, unable to conceal their excitement and excitement.

Xing Xiuyan said again: "There is no need for An Nanguo to exist! Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away! Iron and blood are the pain of our soldiers, but we would rather bear such pain for decades to defend our home and country. Man Why don't you take the Wu hook and collect the fifty states of Guanshan, rather than being a centurion, you are better than being a scholar. Our generation of soldiers should drive away wolves and tigers, and make your husband a son-in-law. Let the world hear our roar with iron and blood! Soldiers, I, Xing Xiuyan, am proud of them!"

The staff officers unfolded a large military map, which was marked with red and blue colors. Several cities in the south fell into the hands of Annan, and the troops stationed, while the distribution of our troops stationed and blocked on various main roads was marked with red marks.

During these days when the two sides ceased fighting and recuperated, of course the Great Zhou Pingnan Army was not idle. They used the common people to inquire about the news, or sent Jin Yiwei warriors in disguise to inquire, so as to basically know the enemy.

At this time, they got the news that Annan's army would detour Baise from the west to attack. After the vanguard army's defeat, they realized the advantages and disadvantages of Dazhou's firearms, and dared not be so stupid.But they also urgently need another victory in order to take advantage of the war and end the war. This is like twisting Yangko, three steps forward and two steps back, and then negotiate, the chances of Da Zhou to settle things down and choose to appease are even greater.

"I order in the name of Marshal Pingnan of the Great Zhou Dynasty." All the people stood up in awe.

"Implement the 'Monkey Killing Action'!"

……

In the plan, Lu Kun was assigned the task of storming the front and taking down Zhennan Pass.The first army stopped an Annan army that detoured from Baise from the west, but the combat missions of the second, third, and fourth armies had to wait until after that.

At the beginning of Lu Kun's strong attack, Annan's army was defeated in the battle and retreated in Zhennanguan. He used cannon to shoot down the fort occupied by Annan's army in Zhennanguan.But the artillery/fire of the former Guangxi frontier army was not sharp.

The guerrilla army mainly composed of ethnic minorities cut off the Annan Army's logistics, and the Annan Army in Zhen'an Pass was greatly panicked.The Yellow Shirt Army also had many people with outstanding martial arts skills. After the bombardment finally opened the city gate, the infantry of the Yellow Robe Army rushed in first to fight with Bai Ren of the Annan Army.At this time, they were sent to the western front by the city's danger team, and they had no advantage in close combat.

The Yellow Shirt Army invaded Zhennan Pass, and then the Second Army made a lightning attack to capture Wenyuan, Lang Son and other cities. At this time, the First Army had also defeated more than half of the Anguo Army who had detoured to the west.

Several armies fought continuously in lightning, like checkers. After your battle, I will appear on the stage, take back the hinterland, and enter the territory of Annan Kingdom.At this time, the main force of the Annan Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army has been destroyed, and the result will not be much better than the result of the Toungoo Dynasty in Burma in the previous Ming Dynasty.

The Great Zhou army was not the deadliest, but the Miao people, Yao people and other natives who were deadly. They followed the victory and moved south to occupy the land, and all the Annan people on the original land were slaughtered by them.It was so bloody, but it also made the rear of the Da Zhou army no worries.

……

Xing Xiuyan sits in Nanning as the commander-in-chief, and is quite satisfied with the battle reports of the armies of all parties. After occupying the capital Shenglong City for two months, Xing Xiuyan went south for inspection.

I couldn't help being dumbfounded along the way, the ancient people's thirst for land was really shocking.It's only been a long time, all the way south to the Honghe Plain, where the rice fields are already crisscrossed, and the seedlings are like green.There are large and small villages and towns formed by newly-built wooden houses and bamboo buildings everywhere, no longer limited to Han, Miao, and Yao.

This was originally a foreign land, occupying the land, and the old enmity between natives and guests has been reduced, and the various ethnic groups who immigrated from the Great Zhou Dynasty were also restrained by the Pingnan Army.The administrative civil servants have already begun to measure the land, put it into the boundaries of villages and towns, and register it. This is a big project.

It took half a month to take Shenglong City, and then the barbarian army continued to attack uninterruptedly. At this time, the firearms and equipment of the Pingnan army were gradually strained, and the Queen's order temporarily stopped the task of actively going south.

In such a situation, these Dazhou immigrants were of great help to the army. While cleaning up the barbarians hidden in the mountains, on the other hand, they provided information to the Pingnan army from time to time.

The queen's holy car is coming, and the ostentation to come to greet it is not very big. All armies have garrison missions, and it has not yet reached the stage of leaving lightly.

Duan Zhi was appointed as the "Governor of North Vietnam Province", but at this time she brought some officials to welcome her.

At this time, they paid her a big respect, and Duan Zhi said afterward: "Dudu, you have worked hard all the way!"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "What's the hard work for me, it's true that I'm hungry!"

Duan Zhi said with a smile: "I have ordered people to prepare the banquet, please move the governor."

Xing Xiuyan walked forward first, and said with a smile: "I have to wash my face first, I can bear it, but these female soldiers under me can't bear it. This place is too hot."

Tu Yuanyuan said: "Dudu, why can't I take it anymore?"

Xiao Pan'er said: "That's right, I am a martial arts practitioner." Xiao Pan'er was taught martial arts by Madam Nie since she was a child. She is as rare and handsome as Daiyu, and she is extremely romantic, but she is a woman who loves martial arts.

She has a good relationship with Tu Yuanyuan, and Tu Yuanyuan is taught by the queen, and she wants to come to accompany the princess. Although Daiyu and his wife are reluctant, they can't hold her back.

Duan Zhi smiled flatteringly: "Princess and Miss Xiao are indeed heroines!"

Xing Xiu smoked a smile and said, "How can it compare to the demeanor of a Confucian general like you, the Governor of North Vietnam?"

Duan Zhi was full of emotion, and said: "It's all thanks to the support and support of the supervisor, otherwise how could Zhi, a poor scholar, have what he is today?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "That's what you are capable of. From what I see in today's North Vietnam, everything is in order. After my revenge, Dazhou has expanded its territory."

Duan Zhi clasped his fists and said, "That's also the martial arts of the emperor and the governor, and the humble officials dare not take credit for it."

Said that the officials surrounded the queen and entered the city, and entered the "Governor's Mansion", which is the former Annan Kingdom Palace.As the governor, Duan Zhi dared not overstep and live in the center of the palace, but only dared to live in the courtyard on the right.

Xing Xiuyan was welcomed into the main hall of the imperial palace, and then into the apse of the former Annan king and queen. After washing, a banquet was held, and Lu Kun, Zhang Hu and others were stationed nearby and came to pay homage.

Xing Xiuyan gave a banquet at the moment, and the monarch and his ministers drank together. It was very harmonious, and I will not describe it in detail.

After a night's rest, accompanied by Duan Zhi, he inspected the area controlled by the Dazhou army and the new immigrants in the Honghe Plain.The proportion of Han people and Hakka people is still not as large as that of ethnic minorities, but in the new land, facing the Annan people, and the Han people are the backing of these new immigrants, there is a scene of "community of five ethnic groups".

Back then, there were many Miao villages in the four territories, and she also selected some aspiring Miao people who could speak Chinese as officials, which laid the foundation for her to let them go to other provinces to contact the natives.

The natives still don't trust the Han people very much, but after doing some business for a few years, the relationship between the two is peaceful, and the natives are officials, so they have a sense of trust.In this way, after the army, there are fertile lands to share, and the benefits of picking up for free are very attractive to the natives of other provinces who have less land and heavy taxes.And Queen Da Zhou also kept her promise as always.

The natural conditions in Annan are three crops all year round. For those who come from the mountainous and poor areas, this place is like a paradise.In order to occupy more land and plant more crops, the field is filled with those stalwart young men wielding hoes to cultivate.

The folk songs of ethnic minorities and the singing of birds present an intoxicating scene.A Miao girl who spoke Chinese with an accent came to accompany the Queen and introduced her to the immigration process.The girl's father is also a scheming man. He himself worked for the Datong Army a few years ago, and now he is the mayor of a large village with a large Hmong population.He has taught his daughter to speak Chinese and read characters long ago, so he has the opportunity to show it.

Tu Yuanyuan and Xiao Pan'er followed the queen and also heard that the Miao girl had something interesting to say, and the Miao girl chose what to say, but they couldn't help sighing.

"It's just that those monkeys have gone to hide in the mountains. From time to time, they come to raid our village at night. They are very annoying. They even damaged our crops a few days ago. Father is very angry."

Xing Xiuyan asked, "Is the loss heavy?"

The Hmong girl said: "It's time to re-sow, and we have to go to the Ministry of Agriculture to plant more grains on credit. My elder brother suggested that Dad and the Datong Army buy more firecrackers, and prepare to go to the mountains to clean up, otherwise we will be ruined as much as we planted." It's not the way."

Xing Xiuyan said: "It's quite dangerous to enter the mountain."

The Miao girl smiled and said: "We Miao people have lived in the mountains for generations, and we often hunt, so we are not afraid."

When Xing Xiuyan heard the word "hunting", he felt the smell of blood, but the affairs of the court were very realistic.She has never been an internationalist, unless aliens invade the earth, or closeness makes a difference.She wanted to stabilize the frontier and protect her own people, but she also wanted to find a way out for the poor and divert domestic conflicts.

Judging from the current situation, in a new place, all ethnic groups live in harmony without conflicts due to differences in ancestors, beliefs, customs, and languages.It is useful to illustrate this two-pronged approach to land occupation.

"Where is that place?" But I saw the big girl and the young daughter-in-law coming and going in and out of several newly built buildings.

Duan Zhi, who followed behind, smiled and said, "That's the Ancestral Temple."

"Ancestral Temple?"

Duan Zhi said: "As soon as this place is stable, the people will naturally worship. The Jiuli clan built the Chiyou Temple, and the Han people also built the Yanhuang Temple..." Because he was still in the suburbs of Shenglong City, as the second in command in Sichuan for many years, Duan Zhi also has foresight, let them not build willfully, but have predictable future urban planning.The construction of temples is also in a characteristic area, which is concentrated in Shenglong City.

Xing Xiuyan heard that this was the case, so she couldn't help but go to have a look and pay her respects, the Queen's worship is no small matter, Duan Zhi also expected this kind of situation, and had a plan.

In order to maintain order on the scene, but not to drive away the people.

Xing Xiuyan went first to offer incense at Yanhuang Temple, and later offered incense like Chiyou Temple, but it was not like the ceremony of descendants after three kneelings and nine kowtows at Yanhuang Temple, otherwise she would be afraid that people would say she was "prostitution/sacrifice".The sages have said: offering sacrifices to someone other than the one they are offering sacrifices to is "prostitution/sacrifice".However, the natives were still very happy to see the queen recognize their Emperor Chi You.

The major events of the country are sacrifices and soldiers. How can the Chinese nation have no faith?The primary belief is the ancestors, and the inheritance left by the ancestors has the current life.The Chinese nation understands better than any nation that things are passed down from ancestors, not bestowed by God.
