Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

Riding a car was really boring, so Ah Zheng couldn't help asking his maid, A Yan, to invite Li Si, who was riding a horse outside, into the car, and asked him for advice with a half-volume book that he hadn't finished reading before: "Li Lang, can you teach me how to do it?" What's next?"

Li Si took the bamboo slips from the young master's hand and glanced casually. It turned out to be "The Six Secret Secrets of the Grand Duke". He laughed dumbfoundedly: "Of course, young master. But I only know a thing or two about the art of war. If you have the heart, you might as well wait for it." When the convoy is repairing, go to General Meng for advice. He is the queen of the general, and he is more familiar with these military tactics than me."

Ah Zheng nodded: "Then please Li Lang explain the general idea to me first."

Li Si is Xun Qing's proud disciple. Although he doesn't know the art of war, it is no problem for Xiao Ah Zheng to discern the sentence reading of "The Six Secret Teachings of the Grand Duke" and sort out the main idea.

It's just that he is a little strange. "The Six Secret Teachings of the Grand Duke" mainly tells the methods of governing the country and the army and the thoughts of good thinking through the dialogue between King Wen and King Wu and Jiang Taigong.And the volume in Azheng's hands records part of the content of the "Mouth".

Who will let children learn to read with this kind of book?Is it the sudden rise of the prince or the Lu Buwei standing behind him?

Thinking of this, Li Si smiled. He spread out the letter on his knee and asked, "Young master, besides Zhao's writing, how much do you know about Qin's writing?" It was written in the characters of the State of Zhao, and the characters of the State of Zhao and the characters of the State of Qin are very different in shape and font. Princes and politicians live in the State of Qin, and they must be familiar with the characters of the State of Qin.

Ah Zheng froze slowly, fell into silence, and didn't say a word.

Why did this happen? Lin Ju whispered into Ah Zheng's mind: "Cub, don't you know Qin's writing?"

Ah Zheng explained to her: "Well, because I have been living before, Lu Aweng taught me to know Zhao Guo's characters all the time."

"Wouldn't people from different countries have different languages?" Lin Ju was a little surprised, obviously the scripts of different countries were different, but Zai Zai, Li Si and others seemed to have no obstacles in communicating.

Ah Zheng explained: "The upper-class nobles of various countries speak elegant dialects. Even if they can bring some vocabulary unique to each country, there will be no major problems in communicating with each other. But when I was in that village before, except for the wet nurse And very few people, I can't understand the slang accent of those villagers."

So when Zai Zai was in that village, was he always in an environment where he could not understand the language?Lin Ju suddenly felt a little distressed.

Seeing that Gong Zizheng hadn't answered for a long time, Li Si knew his answer.He rolled up the scroll in his hand and said with relief: "Young Master, don't worry. Although the languages ​​of different countries are different, they are generally similar. You are talented and intelligent, so it shouldn't be too difficult to learn."

Ah Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Si: "Li Lang, how long will it take us to travel from Handan to Xianyang?"

Li Si thought for a while and replied: "It will take about three months. If there is no accident, it will take at least two months."

Two months is enough for the winter snow to melt and the spring buds to sprout early.

Ah Zheng collected himself, took a deep breath, and said, "Then please teach me the characters of Qin State within these two months, and I will definitely learn it with my heart."

"Don't dare to be a son, sir, I just do my best." Li Si put the slips in his hand into the arms of Gong Zizheng, "Then the rest of the slips, should you continue to study?"

Ah Zheng nodded, his eyes were firm: "You can never give up halfway."

"Okay, then please don't complain about your hard work in the next few days."

Teaching in a carriage is not a convenient thing. Although Ah Zheng and his party are taking the official road, the road is not smooth. The carriage is bumpy during the driving process, which makes it impossible for Li Si to teach Ah Zheng to write the characters of Qin. , I can only tell him slowly from the history of Qin.

The convoy didn't stop to rest at noon, the soldiers ate dry food on the horse, and Ah Zheng and Zhao Ji just ate the thick naan with dried meat in a hurry.

The convoy moved forward until the evening, when the sun turned west and the sky became dark and unable to continue moving, the general Meng in iron armor ordered the soldiers to set up camp.And Ah Zheng finally had a chance to jump off the carriage to relieve his bumpy buttocks.

Li Si slowly got down from the carriage, glanced at Gong Zizheng who was jumping around beside the carriage and covering his buttocks with his small hands, and only then did he have a sense of reality that the eight-year-old child in front of him was just an eight-year-old child.

It happened that General Meng Wu brought people over, he bowed to Ah Zheng, and asked, "My lord, can you still adapt to the bumps on the road, do you need to order people to slow down the marching speed?"

Ah Zheng quickly put down his hands covering his buttocks, and saluted: "Thank you General for your consideration, please leave me alone, General, I can accept this marching speed."

Seeing Young Master Zheng's lively appearance, Meng Wu couldn't help but think of his useless eldest son, he laughed and explained to Young Master in a gentle voice: "That's good, and now I'm still in the territory of Zhao State, that's why I ordered people to march in such a hurry. When we reach the territory of Qin State, the son and wife can have a good rest."

Ah Zheng nodded and said hello.

The dinner was eaten in the tent, and Ayan took a few maidservants to get hot soup and barbecue. Although it was not as delicate as the ones eaten in the Handan post station before, the taste was not bad.Zhao Ji seemed to be a little sleepy because of the whole day's driving, and went back to her camp early to rest after dinner.

Ah Zheng's tent was separate from Zhao Ji's. After dinner, he waited for Li Si to come to teach him.

When Li Si entered the tent, torches were already lit in the four corners and an oil lamp was lit in the middle.He entered the tent with a small sand table and a volume of books in his hand, put the sand table and letter on the small table, and began to teach Ah Zheng how to read.

He wrote a character on the sand table, which looked like a pair of hands holding a pestle to pound grain. He pointed to the character and asked Ah Zheng, "Do you know what this word means, my lord?"

Ah Zheng shook his head.

Li Sidao: "This is the word 'Qin', with two hands holding a pestle on top, and two rice plants below, implying that this is a land with rich land and rich products. This is Qin."

"I only know that the soldiers and horses of the Qin State are strong, and the style of martial arts is superior." Ah Zheng tilted his head to look at the word on the sand table, a little confused, "So Qin is also good at producing food?"

Li Si smiled and said, "The ancient land of Qinchuan has always been famous for its abundant grain production. Otherwise, how could the state of Qin support a million strong soldiers?"

Ah Zheng cleared his doubts and nodded: "Please Li Lang continue."

Li Si wrote another word on the sand table: "Can you recognize this word?"

Ah Zheng nodded: "This is my name, Zheng." The writing method of this character in Qin State is similar to Zhao State's.

Li Sidao: "The word 'Zheng' is from Po to Zhengzheng, with weapons in hand, and is used to conquer and plunder. I dare to ask you, who named you?"

Ah Zheng touched the word "Zheng" on the sand table with his right hand, and recalled: "Because my mother gave birth to me in the first lunar month, she originally named me 'Zheng'. Later, my father felt that this word was too Zhongyong changed my name to the homonym of 'Zheng'."

Li Si nodded, so the blockbuster prince and stranger actually had such high expectations for his son?And what did Gong Lu do during this period?He woke up and continued to explain to Ah Zheng.

……

As the night deepened, there was silence outside the tent, only patrolling soldiers walking back and forth.Li Si had already returned to his tent to rest, Ah Zheng was lying on the couch, and he could hear the slight breathing of the maidservant who was watching the night outside the screen.

Lin Ju's voice sounded softly: "Cub, so you were born in the first lunar month? Has your birthday passed yet?"

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "Ah Ju, the day you and I met is my birthday."

"Hey! It will take a long time to celebrate your birthday, Zai Zai, what a pity." Lin Ju's voice was full of regret.

"Well, I'll tell you about it on my next birthday."

"Okay, baby, when the time comes, grandma will treat you to a birthday cake."

"Well, thank you, Aju."

In the early morning of the next day, everyone used the morning food, and the convoy embarked on the journey again.

Li Si got into the car as usual to explain the affairs of the state of Qin to Ah Zheng, and gave him a volume of "Book of Songs" as a new tool for literacy.

Ah Zheng adapted well to this, but suddenly thought of a question: "Li Lang, didn't you buy a lot of Qin people who were slaves in the north of Handan before? Aren't they going back to Qin with us?"

Li Si explained with a smile: "Sir, you are benevolent, don't worry, I have left a manpower in Handan, and they will take these Qin people who are slaves back to Qin slowly."

Ah Zheng knew that it was unrealistic for a group of hungry and cold people to follow the convoy all the way back to Qin. In recent years, there have been frequent wars among many countries, and the carriages and horses are precious. Except for the military and the upper echelons of various countries, the common people have a cow and a donkey. up.Ah Zheng knew that Li Si had already made an arrangement, so he didn't mention it any more.

The convoy headed west all the way, but nothing major happened. Occasionally encountered bandits and savages who were hungry and dizzy, and were quickly suppressed by General Meng.Ah Zheng's study progressed by leaps and bounds, and by the time the convoy arrived in Changping, he had almost finished studying the volume of "Book of Songs" that Li Si had given him.

The current Changping Township belongs to Shangdang County and belongs to South Korea.General Meng sent people to negotiate with the South Korean officials in Changping, and ordered to set up camp here.

When Lin Ju knew about this, she was confused: "Cub, the battle of Changping was so tragic, isn't Changping still the territory of Qin?"

Ah Zheng shook his head: "No, Changping belongs to South Korea for the time being."

"why?"

Ah Zheng explained to her: "Shangdang is a battleground for military strategists. At the beginning, Shangdang belonged to South Korea, so Qin State attacked South Korea and wanted to seize Shangdang."

Lin Ju nodded: "Yeah."

"South Korea surrendered, and the King of Han was willing to cede Shangdang and dedicate the city to Qin. But the local governor of Shangdang was unwilling to surrender to Qin, and dedicated the city to Zhao. He planned to use Zhao's strength to repel the Qin army."

Lin Ju went on: "I know, after that, Zhao Guo and Qin Guo fought. Qin Guo killed many people in Zhao Guo in Changping. Later, Zhao Wang surrendered and ceded the city to Qin Guo, and then he regretted it. Qin Guo So they sent troops all the way to Handan, the capital of Zhao State. At this time, your father sneaked back to the Qin Bing camp by himself, leaving Zai Zai and your mother in Zhao State."

"Yes. But the Battle of Handan is not considered a success for Qin State, it should be said to be a failure." Ah Zheng explained to Lin Ju, "Because Qin State surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao State, all Zhao State asked for help from other countries, among which Wei State's The princess married the royal family of Zhao State, and Wei State and Zhao State were related, so Prince Xinling of Wei State stole the talisman to save Zhao, and used Wei State's soldiers and horses to repel the Qin army. At the same time, the five countries formed an allied army to counterattack Qin State, and the soldiers of Qin State were defeated. Hangu Pass. After the State of Qin returned to Hangu Pass, Shangdang returned to its original owner Han Han. Let me put it this way, can you understand, Aju?"

Lin Ju made a conclusion: "I understand, so Qin Guo was lonely, Zhao Guo didn't get any benefits, and the biggest winner was South Korea?"

Ah Zheng was stunned for a moment: "That said, it seems to be true." Qin Guo wanted to join the party, and Zhao Guo also wanted to join the party. As a result, Zhao Jun was killed by General Bai Qi in Changping, and he suffered heavy losses. In the counter-offensive battle formed by the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, Qin was forced to retreat to Hangu Pass, which did not take advantage of it.After all these back and forth, Shangdang returned to the hands of South Korea.

Thinking of this, rough singing suddenly sounded outside the tent. Ah Zheng walked out of the tent and looked into the distance. It was General Meng leading the soldiers of Qin State to sing mourning songs to commemorate the comrades-in-arms who died in this land.The singing is tragic and loud, and it lingers for a long time.

The soul is back!Choose as you please.

……

The soul is back!Li first only.

……

The soul is back!Don't be wary.

……

The soul is back!Dingkong mulberry only.

……

The author has something to say:

Zhao Ren buried in Changping: Qin people, are you polite?

Qu Yuan's "Ultimate Move" is used at the end. (I don't think it's very suitable. If readers know other Qin battle songs, please recommend them in the comment area)

"Historical Records Han Shijia" records: "In 26 years, Qin Xi pulled me out of the Shangdang." This shows that after the Changping War, after the Shangdang was recaptured by the coalition forces, the Shangdang and Changping belonged to South Korea, and they were taken 11 years later. Qin State occupied it for the second time.To put it simply, Zhao Guo only briefly owned Changping when Shangdang County guarded Xiancheng.

It feels like Qin Guo and Zhao Guo are really lonely.

Lord Xinling steals amulets to save Zhao, and Mao Sui recommends himself. These allusions almost all happened during the Battle of Handan.

About Ying Zheng's birthday.

The Xia Dynasty used the Xia calendar, which is similar to the current lunar calendar;

The Shang Dynasty stipulated that the twelfth month of the summer calendar was the first month, that is, the first day of December was New Year's Day, so the time for merchants to celebrate the New Year was a whole month earlier than that of the Xia people;

After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the calendar was changed, and Jianzi was set as the beginning of the year, that is, the first month of November in the summer calendar was the first month, and the first day of November was New Year's Day; however, some vassal states still used the Shang calendar, so everyone's first month was different.

As for the Qin State, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he issued an edict to unify the whole country with Jian Hai as the official, that is, the first day of October in the lunar calendar is New Year's Day.This calendar was followed until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

According to this theory, Ah Zheng, who was born in the first lunar month, is born in October of the lunar calendar, when winter just begins.

But I'm not sure what calendar Qin used before it was unified, so the text will blur the time.

I don't know if the cuties are dizzy or not, anyway, the author himself is already dying.
