Spring and Autumn I Am King

Two days later, outside the newly built arena in the outer Guo District of Taoqiu, Zhao Wuxi, the Jin envoy from Qin, and some nobles from the state of Cao waited for the arrival of the envoy of the state of Wu. Baidu search to force literature network

As the head of the businessman who presided over the operation of this place, Zigong was quite dissatisfied: "Cao Jun and Si Kou have been here for a while, but the Wu people have not yet arrived. I checked, from the time of Wu Zishou's dream, every time the Jin state has been in alliance. In the meeting and the court, they brought Zhu Xia Guojun to wait for the Wu people together, even if they didn’t scold them more in the future, they were used to them, and they were very arrogant, and they came late every time.”

Wu Xie was refreshed for the past two days, he was not angry, and smiled slightly: "It's not easy to see distant relatives, who made Jin State ask for others, and now, Wu State, who is like a rich man, probably looks down on the Central Plains even more. countries..."

Yesterday, at the ceremony officially announcing the completion of the arena, Uncle Cao held a whole day of celebrations. He hunted and slaughtered 900 deer, pigs, yellow sheep, etc., and distributed the meat to the nobles in the city. The income of the treasury of Cao Cao doubled.

The name of "competition" comes from Zhao Wuxi's suggestion. After all, whether it is racing, horse racing, or Cuju, horns, cockfighting, etc., they are all highly competitive and confrontational sports.

As for today, all kinds of games will be held in the arena for one day, and people from Wu State will be invited to watch.

Wu Guo has become more and more powerful, and Wu Xie heard that after Helu succeeded to the throne, in order to save money for expedition, he only ate one fish and one bowl of soup each meal, and never added meals. He does not need two layers of mats when he sits on his knees, his utensils are not stained with red lacquer or carvings, no pavilions and pavilions are built in the palace, and no decorations are added to vehicles and boats. In China, when encountering natural disasters and plagues, he personally inspected, appease the orphans and help the poor, and in the army, he ate and slept with his soldiers. So the soldiers and the people are willing to die for it.

Helu's strategy of governing the country has paid off. Five years ago, they defeated Chu in five battles. The lords of the Central Plains were also terrified. Last year, they fought against Chu and won a great victory, forcing the Chu people to abandon Yingdu and move the capital to Yuandi, which is easier to defend.

As such. Chu lost Qunshu and Huaiyi, all the way to the west. The position of "suppressing Yiyue in the south of Runan", which was once verbally promised by the King of Zhou, had in fact been handed over to the state of Wu. If it is said that who of the princes in the world has the most hope of establishing the hegemony of Chuzhuang and Jinwen in one fell swoop, it is not the state of Jin that has been struggling to maintain Ji Zhouzong's alliance, nor is it the state of Qi that has endured for more than a hundred years. It is not the Qin people who live in Yongzhou, but the Wu Wanghelu!

However, Zhao Wuxi also got some news from Zigong. After defeating the Chu Kingdom, this Wu Wangzhi was very satisfied, and he was a little lazy and extravagant. He did the deeds of the king of Chu, Chu Lingyin, Sima's wives and concubines, the sons and daughters of the kings of the Central Plains and all the summers; he expanded the city, repaired the palace, bought porcelain and other luxury goods; the death of his daughter lured hundreds of people The people of Vietnam were buried with them in the tomb, causing a national uproar.

But despite the reverse. But anyway, there are Wu Zixu and Sun Wu by his side, they are all heroes of the world, talents of kings and tyrants! If you can make good use of talents, stabilize the situation, destroy Yue first, and then encroach on the small states of Chu and Huaisi, it will only take a few generations, Gou Wu will definitely be able to unify the south and become a country of hegemony!

Therefore, today's Wu people are not ashamed of the past, and they are full of self-confidence. Send envoys to the north again. The princes of the Central Plains also began to change their attitude towards Wu, especially the twelve states of Huaisi, who had to serve the Wu people carefully, for fear of offending them and causing war.

Cao Bo is also among them. The way he thought of, naturally, was to use the extravagant place.

...

Under the management of Zigong, the extravagant places that introduced many new gameplays of later generations have detonated the upsurge of the Central Plains nobles again and again. Today's pottery is more popular than ever.

With the influx of people of all kinds, Taoyi has become the city with the largest floating population in the world. Therefore, Cao people are also well-informed. However, the arrival of the people of Wu made the people of the rich country who did not engage in agriculture and only made a living by the production of goods become curious, so they came and crowded on the side of the road to watch.

When the convoy of the envoys of Wu State finally drove out of the inner city and appeared at the end of the road, the people even stood on tiptoe, wanting to see what happened. After all, for the Central Plains, the wild seaside country three thousand miles away is too far and unfamiliar, not to mention all kinds of rumors.

When the people over there gradually saw what the clothes looked like, Wu T-shirt suddenly became stunned, which was very different from the image of the later generations of Wu Yue people, who were savage and sturdy.

Kan Zhi's subtle voice sounded beside him: "Fu Jian has a tattoo, and the left side of his arm is wrong. The people of Ouyue are also the people of Ouyue. The black-toothed inscription, but the crown is crowned, and the kingdom of Wu is also the country. I thought it was an exaggeration. That's what happened today."

The soldiers of Wu Guo who opened the way in front were not tall, but they were strong and brave. They were different from the etiquette and custom of Huaxia’s hair-bearing crowns. Their hair was about a foot long, and they were all broken into short hair. on the shoulders. It was still hot in July, and they wore short dark armor, the armor skirts on their legs only reached the thighs, and a piece of cooked cowhide was tied to their knees as knee pads.

There are blue and black tattoos on the copper-colored face and the arms of the **, which are tattooed on the skin with needles and other tools, and then filled with ink or danqing to make it a permanent sign. The Wu people are still lame, with thick calluses on their feet, and walking on sand and gravel is like walking on the ground.

The dress of the people of Wu country caused the onlookers to whisper to the Cao people, but the Wu people couldn't understand these words. There were occasional conversations between them, and when Zhao Wuxi heard them, it became the tongue of the southern barbarians. Incomprehensible.

Because of their remoteness and unfamiliarity, the image of Wu people has been alienated. There are many legends about them, such as Wu people's sexual behavior, no etiquette, raw fish, turtles, shrimp and clams, and even cannibals...

In fact, when you think about it, you can understand that the south is humid and hot, and the hair is too long to breed parasites, and it will also make the head dizzy and hot. The tattoo is because there are insects, snakes, crocodiles, etc. everywhere in the rivers and lakes. "As the saying goes, it is always in the water, so its hair is cut off, and its body is tattooed. It looks like a dragon, so it is not harmed by it." Wuyue people believe that tattooing the scales of the aquarium on their bodies can protect them from harm. This is just a worship of dragons and snakes.

After the argument the night before, Zigong and Kan Zhi were quite a bit different, but now, although he knew the reason, he was too lazy to talk to each other.

On the contrary, Zhao Wuxi said to Kan Zhi: "Don't be surprised, when you live in Chu, you wear Chu clothes, when you live in Yue, you wear Yue clothes, and when you live in Xia, you wear summer clothes. This is not human nature, but it is based on the surrounding customs and habits. People have always been like this..."

In the end, his voice was low: "But what I didn't expect was that the Duke of Wu, who was originally Ji's surname Zhixu, was also assimilated."

The monarch of Wu State is no different from the indigenous Yue people now. He has tattoos and does not know the etiquette. Just like when Wu Wang Shoumeng first participated in the Central Plains League, he looked at the prosperity of his clothes and said: "I am alone in the barbarians, and I only use vertebrae as a custom. There is no such thing as clothing."

Wu Xie knows that the great division of the Zhou Dynasty existed in the form of Zhou Jun Yimin, Rongmin, and Dimin. This needs to be integrated with strong cultural advantages, and it must be supported by a sufficient immigration base, otherwise there will be Wu State. An example of this being de-assimilated.

Looking at the future generations, there are countless similar things. The Vikings established many dynasties in the territory of the Rus, but they were finally completely assimilated into the monarchs of Rus. The Mongols conquered the west, and they were also monarchs in the territory of the Turks, but they were turned into Turks one after another.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, the Wu Kingdom has been abandoned on the seashore and has no communication with Zhu Ji. Therefore, in the eyes of their "relatives" Cao people, these Wu people are completely barbarians from another world, which makes people frown. !

At that time, Dongfang said Yi, was given tattoos, and there were people who did not eat fire. The southern people are called barbarians, and there are people who do not eat fire. In the west, it is called Rong, who is covered with skin, and there are those who do not eat grains. In the north, it is called Di, who lives in clothes and feathers, and there are those who do not eat grains. Only China has the greatness of etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has the beauty of clothing and regulations, it is called Hua!

The state of Wu, which is between the southern barbarians and the eastern barbarians, although it has been incorporated into the system politically, it is still difficult to explore culturally, and it is at the crossroads of China and barbarians. Once they ravage the Central Plains by invading the state of Chu, the consequences will be disastrous!

And Yue, which is further south, is more barbaric than Wu...

As for the Rong and Di in the west and north, such as Yiqu, Xianyu, Dai, and even the Xiongnu tribes still in their infancy to the north of Yinshan Mountain, they will continue to attack the Central Plains as the climate changes.

Wu Xian secretly said: "The fact is that in the entire eastern world, only China is the most civilized and civilized. This is a contest between China and the four descendants, civilization and barbarism, farming system and nomadic, fishing and hunting. If we don't work hard, It is very possible that the descendants will have their hair on the left side."

Want to win this war, or conquer it by force, or assimilate it with a strong cultural centripetal force!

However, it is too early to say these. From Wu Xie's point of view, it seems that among the nobles of Wu State, there have always been huge differences on Huahua and maintaining indigenous character, and it is very hopeful to peacefully evolve it into a "civilized country".

In the Wu Guo motorcade in front of him, there are a small number of "heterogeneous".

For example, Cao Cao, who is getting out of the car and walking towards the road, greets him, and Wu Wuji, who is saluting to all the officials and officials, is now considered a distant uncle who has no sympathy...

After more than a thousand years of communication and imitation, Chu is now a sub-civilization of Zhongxia~www.wuxiahere.com~ Wu Chen and Hu Yong were originally from Chu, and their descendants, Qu Wuji, maintained this tradition. He is tall and crowned, wears deep clothes and wide sleeves, speaks like Zhou Yayin, and behaves with proper etiquette, but because the national power of Wu is far superior to that of Cao, and he has defeated the people of Chu who have caused headaches in the Central Plains for two hundred years, he has a little bit in his bones. arrogant.

The young man behind Qu Wuji, who was also dressed as a Chinese scholar, also attracted Zhao Wuxi's attention. He tied his hair in a bun, wrapped in a cloth crown, and raised his black eyes to keep looking around. , full of curious yearning, but there is a bit of hesitation and shyness in his behavior.

This is a ** type Wu people ah.

Wu Shi guessed: "Qu is a Chu native who lives in Wu, and his words and deeds cannot represent the status quo of Wu's aristocracy. But looking at the boy's body, skin color, and tattoos under his neckline, he is probably a native of Wu. Is it because I'm not used to wearing this wide robe and big sleeves, or I've never seen so many people?" (To be continued.)
