On both sides of the road in Yecheng, there are still people standing cheering. They don't have any costumes. Most of the people even look very depressed. Their faces are also dishes, but they look very excited.
Liu Yan actually knew that there would be so many people, which must be out of official arrangements.
This is a very obvious thing. How do the people know that the king will come without notice? Even if they know that the king is coming and go to the onlookers, they will not be allowed. Then, no one can afford to take the responsibility for accidents, and the official security measures should also carry out plans and drills in advance.
As the second important city of the state of Zhao in Shijie, Yecheng Avenue is really strictly planned, with a width of about six feet. Although it is not completely straight, it seems to run through the whole city?
On both sides of the road near the city wall, it looks empty. It is a necessary buffer area. Houses or sundries are not allowed to appear, so as to prevent wartime buildings or objects from being ignited and evolving into an unquenchable fire.
Buildings began to appear about 200 steps away from the city wall. On both sides of the avenue were some two-story huts, and neat trees were even planted on the roadside.
That is, the buildings on both sides of the road appear to be planned. In addition, other areas appear to be one east and one west. Looking at the bifurcation and vertical and horizontal of some paths, you can imagine how chaotic it should be.
There was a lot of cheers, and the slogan also seemed more retro. It was the slogan of "tens of thousands of years of the king", which had disappeared after the pre-Qin period. What I want to say is that the slogan "long live" is not owned by the king alone at present. It was limited by a single index only in the Ming Dynasty.
Sometimes the scene should appear. There are thousands of people in the empty lane, which will make the people who are greeted feel happy. At the same time, the people themselves will have a sense of happiness in the excitement.
After Liu Yan's arrival, the people will have some singing, dancing and eating and drinking activities, which are organized and provided by the government.
The Han and Miao people in the Central Plains have not had any grand activities for a long time. The Hu people prohibit the Han and Miao people from carrying out some traditional festivals. Some are oppression and bullying. The younger generation has long been vague about what traditional festivals the Han family has, and the older generation dare not touch the taboos set by the Hu people.
With the recovery of one county after another by the Han Army, the traditional festivals of the Han family must come back, but we can't expect how lively or rich they can be in recent years. Only when folk production is restored and they feel really safe can the festival look like what it should be.
"The women rescued by Xiang were also settled in Yecheng." Ran Min said that the total number of Han women rescued from Shijie reached 170000. Most of them were young and beautiful women. He said with a smile, "it's arranged in the palace que group."
Liu Yan knew this and arranged those women in the palace que group with his permission. His move didn't make people misunderstand. For example, he wanted to accept all the women and open an endless harem. I don't know how many people secretly scolded the "king of famine and adultery".
The women kidnapped by Shijie were not all girls, but many were other people's wives. After they were rescued by the Han Army, many families came to ask for recovery. At the beginning, the official asked the woman to welcome back as long as it could be confirmed that the woman was really her family. Later, some very unpleasant things happened, and the woman was taken back was temporarily stopped. Liu Yan had to be scolded secretly by unknown people.
"Those are poor people." As Liu Yan knew, the women who were kidnapped by Shijie came to no good end. In a cold tone, he said, "what's alive is lucky that they haven't been tossed, killed and eaten."
Shijie treated Jin people with the idea of two legged sheep. Men were killed and eaten, and women were not only killed and eaten, but also raped and raped. Therefore, as a Han, it is absolutely right to think about destroying the whole Shijie family day and night.
"Your Majesty, do you want someone to take them back?" Ran min looked a little melancholy for the first time and said, "on the one hand, their families are noisy. The huge palace needs human care, but the food is really consumed a little more."
Liu Yan didn't have the idea of opening a huge harem. Some people as men have no self-knowledge and cowardice.
It is not their fault that women are robbed, but their experience is regarded as sin. Those men who can not protect them blame and punish them because of their experience, adding greater misfortune to the unfortunate people.
The fact is that it not only shows the weakness and sadness of a nation, but also shows the ugly side. Some men dare not resist in the face of the Hu people, but can only be submissive. However, they are authoritative to their own women who have suffered misfortune. They have never thought that their women suffered misfortune because they are unable to protect them. It seems extremely despicable and real cowards to blame all their mistakes on the unfortunate women.
"If you are willing to go, you can naturally follow your relatives." Liu Yan was annoyed at the thought of some people's actions and said, "if you don't want to, find some work so that they can rely on themselves."
A considerable number of women who were picked up did not get comfort and stability. Instead, they encountered greater misfortune, which not only annoyed Liu Yan, but also had a fear of being picked up. Otherwise, if the government doesn't let them go and there is no restriction at all, why don't women leave by themselves?
The method of the Han state is to resettle similar people. Whether it is in the form of a collective farm or simply sent to a strange place to marry people and live, there is always a way to preserve the dignity of unfortunate women.
Liu Yan came to Yecheng and didn't want to live in the palace que. He didn't burn the palace que. It has been widely spread among the people. It's even worse to have so many women in the palace que group. If he really wants to live in it, he will sit down and listen to those statements.
Yecheng contains mountains. When Shi Hu chose to build the palace que group, he took the mountains in the city as the main construction site. From a distance, he can see the buildings, zhangtai and palaces in the green mountains, which shows the scale.
"Only four or five tenths have been built." Ran min had been to the palace, and he even wanted to live in it. Fortunately, he was dissuaded by his family officials and said in a difficult tone: "it was built by the people, and it was extremely magnificent."
From a distance, you can see a piece of bright yellow rubble, and the rest are red and black walls. If you are close, you can see some carved walls on some walls, which are scenes of hunting by some Hu people.
Even if Liu Yan wants to visit the palace, he can't go at once, because the relationship between some remarks is even less likely to make a big fuss. He will wander around the city, meet some old people according to the tradition of the Han family, honor the old, and then go out of the city and live in the camp again.
It's not easy to live a long life these days. Apart from the war, it's the relationship between diet and health. Ran min and others searched for a long time to find more than a dozen Han elderly people over 60.
In the early years of China, there was a custom, that is, open-air banquets were held when entertaining the elderly. The diet was not necessarily rich and luxurious. It was to show respect for the elderly, listen to the long-lived elderly for all kinds of nagging and put forward some views.
Liu Yan met the old man in a square in the city. A high platform has been built in advance, which is a very common kind of earth platform. The height of the earth table is about one foot. A layer of carpet is paved on the ground, tables and sitting beds are arranged, and a three legged tripod and incense table are made in the middle. Some fruits and text axes will be placed on the incense table. There must be a pot of incense.
In the traditional Han society, living for a long time is a kind of capital. You can not only see local officials anytime and anywhere, but also make suggestions and intervene in how the government governs the place. If you really provoke them, gather enough people to the capital to ask to see the king, but all kings who cherish their reputation want to see them. Therefore, the old people at the foot of the Han family are really easy to provoke. They can be domineering in the countryside (not antonym). When they meet the king, even the Sheriff of a county can be dismissed from office, and even cause a top-down killing.
I don't know how many eyes under the onlookers, Liu Yan frequently toasted a dozen old people. In the old man's various stories, he would "ha ha" laugh from time to time to express pleasure, and sometimes he would show an angry expression.
They were all born in the Western Jin Dynasty and experienced all kinds of internal strife and civil war among the same Miao people. In addition, the Sima family continued to lead the Hu people south.
According to some old people, at the beginning, no matter what kind of Hu people came to the Central Plains, they were careful. At that time, although the country had just come out of the civil war of various princes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hu people still had a great sense of awe for the descendants of the Han family.
Hu people's awe of the Han people began when Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty went out to attack the Huns in the north. A battle between the Han and the Huns lasted more than 130 years, which made the world cry. Then, despite many civil wars and chaos in the Western Han Dynasty, the problem was to remain tough and win the foreign war.
Hu people's fear of the Han people has remained for a long time. Even in the chaos of the new dynasty and the green forest, Hu people do not dare to go south and meddle blindly. The Eastern Han Dynasty was founded by Liu Xiu. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu people danced very badly. Due to the chaos, the regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty was on the defensive in the face of the weakened version of the Xiongnu, which once made the Hu people look up. The most obvious is that not only the Xiongnu people, but also the Xianbei and Wuhuan people with Donghu descendants would dance in the northeast.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was not as tough on the Hu people as it was after the Xiaowu emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. Under the combination of hardness and softness, it finally subdued the Huns and Wuhuan. It seemed powerless for Xianbei, Qiang, Nanman and ZhuYue. However, the powerful military power laid down in the western Han Dynasty also made the Hu people dare not underestimate the Han people.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han family and Miao people continued to die on their own. During the period of Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, the Han family and Miao people showed a trend of weakness. The most obvious thing is that Sili area was reduced to the hands of various Qiang people, part of Yan land was occupied by Xianbei people, and even Heshuo area was completely taken away by Hu people.
During the period when the Three Kingdoms coexisted, Cao Wei had to cope with the civil war and clean up the Hu people in the north line. It should be said that Cao Wei was not ashamed in the foreign war, Wu Huan was gone, the southern Huns were obedient again, all kinds of Qiang fled to the plateau from Cao Wei's military front, and even the western regions were controlled by Cao Wei again; Correspondingly, during the civil war, Shu Han also launched wars against Nanman, fighting, suppressing and pacifying. It is not easy to deter Nanman, but Nanman's rebellion is still frequent; Soochow faces Nanman and ZhuYue. The kingdom of the old Sun family is no better than that of the Cao Wei Dynasty. Even compared with the Shu Han Dynasty, it doesn't look much. Soochow and Nanman have been sawing until the subjugation of the country. After the subjugation, ZhuYue has not been convinced.
The morale of the Hu people began to grow. It began with the Sima family. The armed Hu people were taken to participate in various civil wars of the descendants of the Han family. How can we not find the weakness of the descendants of the Han family.
The real rise of the Hu people was after the Sima family had a scuffle among the eight kings, and the knives were handed over to the Hu people by the Sima family. Not only was the emperor of the Sima family arrested to give Liu Yuan a night pot, but most of the country was also occupied. However, the aristocratic families that have long formed the climate are very agile. When they see that the Hu people want to wreak havoc, they directly roll up and cover up to "cross south in clothes" and continue to be their top-grade family in the south.
Liu Yan could hear that the old people's resentment towards the Jin court was not generally deep. Not only did they gnash their teeth when speaking, but also their tone of voice was all kinds of hatred.
The audience had different emotional fluctuations with the old man's story. The Hu people's rampage was not only heard or experienced. The futility of the Jin court was shown by the facts. After the so-called top-grade families fled, they continued to be rich and carefree, and the people left in the Hu occupied area were reduced to the point where they were inferior to wild animals.
"The son of heaven is coming. WOW!" The trembling old man stood up on crutches and bowed to Liu Yan. Trembling the voice line, he said intermittently: "the emperor of the Han family is coming again. It's our own people, and there will be no Hu people to continue to wreak havoc."
Liu Yan has not yet become emperor. He is not the son of heaven, but looking at the address of the old man can be understood as a kind of expectation.
Will it happen that one's own people bully one's own people? Put aside first, all officials standing nearby will basically shine with their eyes when they hear the word "son of heaven".
The Han state has now recovered the complete Qingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, Sizhou and Guanzhong have also recovered most areas, and even laid down some counties in Bingzhou and Youzhou. The Han army attacked everywhere and showed no sign of weakness. The two Han armies in the north and South were not afraid of the Hu people. Everyone thought it was only a matter of time to recover all the old land of the Han family.
"It's time to consider becoming emperor." Ji Chang's voice was very low, and his eyes didn't look at sang Yu on his side. He continued: "only when you are right can you be right. Before you become emperor, can the battle of zhengshuo be true."
At present, it is not only the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that claims to be the emperor. Shi Hu also claimed to be the emperor again in the third year of Yuanshuo. However, it seems reasonable to have a complete decisive battle with the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty before fighting
