sweeping the world

Chapter 359
The most important part of the time-consuming preparations for the founding of the country is actually only a few days. On the first day, watches were burned and rewards were awarded. After that, there were five consecutive days of feasts. On the sixth day, Liu Yan needed to bathe and eat light food for three consecutive days. God, the ninth day of the Grand Ceremony is the highlight.

In Chinese civilization, only the top leaders have the right to sacrifice to heaven, and the rest are not qualified at all.There are quite a lot of etiquette involved in offering sacrifices to heaven, and it is not only God Haotian who is sacrificed, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors also need to make necessary offerings, and then the blood food that the kings and ancestors should have.

The existence of Yanhuang Temple is not only to pay homage to Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, just as there is more than one god in a Chinese temple. There are both Bodhisattva system and Arhat system in the temple, and believers should not be delayed to enshrine the Taoist Sanqing and other gods stand up.

Originally, the Yanhuang Temple was to be built in District 1 of Huang 1 Island, but the project was later canceled and changed to Mount Tai, which is equally important to Chinese civilization.

The investment in the construction of Yanhuang Temple was greater than that of Liu Yan's Miyagi, which led to the fact that only one hall in the so-called Miyagi could support the scene, but the main worship halls of Yanhuang Temple had been completed.

Chinese civilization must have something like a tripod when performing important sacrifices. The tripod is of great significance to Chinese civilization. Earlier, it was to show national power. After all, casting a tripod not only consumes a huge amount of copper, but also requires enough beeswax. The country is small and has no resources, and the craftsmen are not capable enough. Similar countries cannot make a decent tripod at all.

The news of the construction of the Yanhuang Temple in the Han Dynasty has been blocked until Liu Yan led a team to leave Linzi for Mount Tai. Those foreign envoys who did not know were very surprised.

"The king of Han established a country, but where does he have the confidence to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen?"

"That's right, if you really Feng Chan, you will be ridiculous!"

"It's not really about Feng Chan, is it?"

When the king travels, the guard of honor is bright and solemn. There are [-] sergeants carrying the flag alone. The flag they carry is a style that hangs from top to bottom. There are not many triangular flags, but there is no such thing as The modern kind of banner.

As a chariot for the king to travel, it is eight meters long and six meters wide, and is pulled by twelve horses.The truth is that the chariot is equipped with axles and a spring system, otherwise riding in a carriage would not be more comfortable than riding a horse.It took Liu Yan's boss a lot of effort to make the spring, but he unexpectedly even made the wire drawing. The Han army's desire for chain mail is no longer a problem.

There are two options from Linzi to Mount Tai. The first one is to take a boat from Zishui to Laifu Landing. This route will be more comfortable and save time, but this time it is not a march or a simple rush, so I only It may be to choose the second way to go by land.

The road from Linzi to the front line of Dongping County has been under construction. The road section that has been built so far is only to Banyang in the southwest direction of Linzi. The length of the entire road section is close to 150 miles (120 miles in a straight line).

According to the experience of the pre-Qin period, Liu Yan also adopted a width of at least eight feet when building national roads, that is, it can accommodate four four-horse carriages in parallel, and then widen the roads in some areas depending on the terrain.

The specifications of national roads in the Han Dynasty have their own standards, such as paying attention to left and right entrances, that is, left and right roads like modern times, and there is a "royal road" in the middle, but the biggest use of this royal road is not for the king. Only when it is used for military expeditions can it show the greatest function.

A large number of people looked mighty when they moved around. Liu Yan carried [-] troops this time, of which [-] were Imperial Guards, and then there were nearly [-] soldiers and auxiliary soldiers from various ministries. The remaining [-] places were given to established several slave states.

Apart from the army, officials who are eligible to participate in Yanhuang sacrifices must have their families with them, and if they have families with them, there is naturally no shortage of people who serve them.Liu Yan himself was also accompanied by a court lady.Plus a large number of civilians who have nothing to do.

In this way, in addition to the [-] army, the rest of the miscellaneous people add up to [-] to [-]. As a result, the people following the king's chariot and rushing towards Mount Tai appear to be numerous.

There is no doubt that at any time, the Imperial Guards are very unusual in terms of dress and momentum, especially the organization and coordination of the Imperial Guards are simply natural, which leads to attracting the most people whenever they appear. attention.

"It should not be Feng Chan." Jiang Gan came to Liu Yan's side for the fourth time, and he said with a gloomy face: "No matter what you do, it's a waste of time."

Ran's Qin State is very bad, Tongguan cannot afford to lose, and even Ran Min, who is the King of Qin, is forced to go to supervise the battle in person. They urgently need support from outside forces, but Zhang's Liang State's conquest of the Western Regions is also at a critical moment At that moment, Ran Min thought for a while that Liu Yan was the only one who could help besides Zhang's Liangguo, but it turned out that Jiang Gan went on an envoy again.

Yes, Sikong Tiaoyou had brought Prince Ran Zhi over before, and the standard was not low for a congratulatory envoy.

Ran Zhi is only ten years old this year, but he has inherited all of Ran Min's genes. A ten-year-old boy has the height of a fourteen-year-old and looks strong.

"General, be careful!" Tiao You knew that the situation was urgent, but it was one of his nation-building ceremonies, so it would be shameful to waste time.He said with emotion: "The only thing that can play a role now is our obedience, because we want to get aid but can't give anything."

Ran Zhi blinked his eyes and asked: "Is the bottom line for the father to be a minister?" He pointed at the imperial guards and pursed his lips: "If we can get the support of such a strong army, we can guarantee that the country will not lose, and become a minister." There should be nothing wrong with this expedient measure, right?"

The reason why Jiang Gan was in a gloomy mood was because he revealed to Lu Yi that he could become a minister, but Lu Yi didn't say anything after knowing what he meant.

He doesn't even care about being a minister, so what else does the Ran's Qin country care about on the Han side?Combined with the list of previous requests for assistance, there has been no response after being handed in. Is it understandable that the Han country is not willing to meddle in the affairs of the Ran family and the Qin country at all.

At the rear of Ran's Qin State motorcade, followed by the envoys from Murong Yan State, the official envoy this time is the eldest son Murong Jun, and the deputy envoy is Shang Shuling Wang Jian.

Because they shared the same carriage, Murong Jun was also talking with Wang Jian, and they were evaluating the imperial guards.

"If the King of Han can drive an army of [-] to serve us, it's okay for Liaodong to really give it." Murong Jun didn't look handsome. Murong Xianbei had some Caucasian blood, which caused their pupils to be more colored. For example, Murong Jun is a pupil with blue eyes.He said slightly seriously: "The King of Han lost more than [-] such elites in the battle of Luoyin, and our careful work found that there were nearly [-] such elites, which are second-class...that is, what they call soldiers from one day to the next." The original [-] has expanded to [-], and there are even more miscellaneous troops remaining."

"Your Majesty, Liaodong must be recovered." Wang Jian is a native of Jin in Yandi, and a scholar from a scholarly family. He considers himself a great Confucian in Yandi. on the forehead.He glanced at Liu Yan's direction seriously, and said dryly, "No one expected the King of Han's development to be so fast, or the army should have overwhelmed the country in the first place."

Murong Yan State wants to go south, they are not a bunch of idiots pretending to be shit, Liu Yan has a firm foothold in Qingzhou and has established a state, which means that even if Murong Yan State and Han State have the same interests in jointly attacking Shijie Zhao State, However, with the collapse of Shijie Zhao State, unless Murong Yan State is willing to stop in Youzhou, or the relationship between the two parties will change from cooperation to confrontation and even war will break out directly.

"My father never went south because he was negotiating conditions with Shihu." Murong Jun looked around and lowered his voice: "If Shihu directly cedes Youzhou with enough money and weapons, then we will join forces with Shijie." Attack Han."

Strangling new forces is something every regime with the ambition to dominate the world will do, especially that new force, whose strength it has shown can already threaten itself.Murong Yanguo didn't necessarily have to fight Shijie Zhaoguo, they just wanted to go south, why did they have to choose the most difficult way if they could go south more easily?
Even though he was already planning to target Han, Murong Yan still showed that he valued Han as a quasi-ally, after all, he was the prince.

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not send any envoys, whether it was Yu Yi, Sun Chuo, Wang Xizhi... or anyone else, they all watched and accompanied the ceremony in their private capacity.

Liu Yan did not profess his vassalship to the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting who has always maintained his position as Zhengshuo, so the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting will not congratulate him, in fact, since Liu Yan established the country, the two sides have been in a relatively mild state of confrontation. The difference is that there is no declaration of war with each other, and there is no possibility of establishing diplomatic relations.

It may be that the secrecy on the Han side was really good. Until the team reached Mount Tai, Liu Yan took the lead to hike up the mountain, waiting for everyone to see the statues of various images erected on the mountain. People who don't know the situation feel a little surprised.

The statue is not actually carved from stone, but a rough image is first cast with cement, and then the necessary fine carving and modification are carried out.

"Those... are... the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?" Sun Chuo's eyes widened. He judged from the costumes of the statues, and pointed to some statues that looked like generals, and asked with some stuttering: "That, that... Who are these?"

If Liu Yan wants to inherit the spirit of a strong man, there must be some necessary projects. It seems that it is not suitable to arrange it anywhere, so he simply places all those who have made contributions to the nation in the Yanhuang Temple.

Those statues that look like generals are actually generals. There are legendary figures from the barbaric era, and there are also generals from various countries who fought against the Hu people in the pre-Qin period, including Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Zhang Tang, Ban Chao, etc. A general in the Western and Eastern Han dynasties.
