sweeping the world

Chapter 466 Inside the City of Ye
Both sides of the road in Ye City were still full of cheering people, they didn't have any fancy clothes on them, most of the people even looked very downcast, their faces looked disheveled, but their expressions were very excited.

Liu Yan actually knew that there would be so many common people, it must be due to official arrangements.

This is a very obvious thing. How could the people know that the king was coming if they were not notified?Furthermore, no one can afford to be responsible for accidents, and security officials must conduct pre-plans and drills in advance.

As the second most important city in the Shijie Zhao Kingdom, Yecheng's avenue was really strictly planned. The width was about six feet. Although it was not completely straight, it seemed to run through the entire city?

The road near the city wall looked empty on both sides. It was a necessary buffer zone. No houses or sundries were allowed, so as to prevent wartime buildings or other objects from being ignited and turning into a fire that could not be extinguished.

About two hundred steps away from the city wall, buildings began to appear. On both sides of the avenue were some two-story huts, and neat trees were even planted along the road.

That is to say, the buildings on both sides of the road appear to be more planned, and other areas appear to be east to west. Looking at the bifurcations and vertical and horizontal paths of some small roads, one can imagine what kind of chaos it must be.

The cheers were loud, and the slogan chanted seemed rather old-fashioned. It was a slogan that had disappeared after the pre-Qin period.What I want to say is that the slogan "Long Live" is not currently owned by the king alone. It was only restricted by a single indicator in the Ming Dynasty.

There are times when scenes should occur. Thousands of people coming out to greet you will make the people being greeted feel happy, and at the same time, the people themselves will also feel happy in the excitement.

After Liu Yan's arrival, the common people will have some singing, dancing, eating and drinking activities, all of which are organized and provided by the government.

The Han and Miao descendants in the Central Plains haven’t had any grand events for a long time. The Hu people forbid the Han and Miao descendants from holding some traditional festivals, some of which are oppression and bullying. The younger generation has long been vague about what traditional festivals the Han family has, and the older generation has more The most important thing is that they dare not touch the taboos set by the barbarians.

As the Han army recovers one county after another, the traditional festivals of the Han family must come back, but we can't expect how lively or prosperous the scene will be in recent years. We can only wait for the production of the people to resume and feel truly safe. The festival will have the appearance of the festival.

"The women rescued by Xiangguo were also placed in Yecheng." Ran Min was talking about all the Han women rescued from Shijie. The total number reached 17, a terrifying number, and most of them were young and beautiful women.He said with a "hehe" smile, "It's arranged in the palace complex."

Liu Yan knew about this, and it was his permission to arrange those women in the palace group.His move was not less misunderstood. For example, he wanted to accept all those women and open a huge harem. I don't know how many people secretly cursed him as a "dissolute king".

The women kidnapped by Shijie were not all young girls, but many were other people's wives. After they were rescued by the Han army, many families came to ask for them back.At the beginning, the official was to welcome the woman back as long as it could be confirmed that she was really her family member, but later some very unpleasant things happened, and the matter of the woman being brought back was temporarily stopped, and it was inevitable that Liu Yan would be taken back by unknown numbers of people. Curse secretly.

"Those are poor people." As far as Liu Yan knew, the women kidnapped by Shijie would not end well, and he said in a cold tone: "The ones who are alive are lucky not to be tossed to death and eaten."

Shi Jie adopted the concept of two-legged sheep in treating Jin people. Men were killed and eaten, and women were not only killed and eaten, but also raped.Therefore, as a Han Chinese, it is absolutely correct to think day and night to destroy the entire Shijie clan.

"Your Majesty, should someone take them back again?" Ran Min looked a little melancholy for the first time, and said, "Their families are troubled, and the palace is huge because they need to be taken care of by people, but the food is really consumed."

Liu Yan didn't have the idea of ​​opening a huge harem, because some people are not self-aware and cowardly as men.

It was not their fault that women were robbed, but their experience was regarded as a crime. Those men who could not protect them blamed and punished them because of what they encountered, adding even greater misfortune to the unfortunate.

The fact is really like that. It not only shows the weakness and sorrow of a nation, but also shows its ugly side.Some men do not dare to resist when they face barbarians and can only accept it submissively, but they appear majestic to their own women who have already encountered misfortune. Blaming it all on the woman who suffered misfortune, it seems extremely despicable and a real coward.

"If you want to go, you can naturally follow your relatives." Liu Yan became annoyed when he thought of some people's actions, and said, "If you don't want to, find some work for them so that they can support themselves."

A considerable number of women who were picked up did not receive comfort and stability, but suffered greater misfortune. Not only did Liu Yan become angry, but they themselves also developed a fear of being picked up.Otherwise, if the authorities would not let her go, and there was no restraint at all, why would no woman leave on her own?

The Han Dynasty had many ways to resettle similar people. Whether it was through collective farms or simply sending them to a strange place to marry and live together, there were always ways to preserve the dignity of those women who had suffered misfortune.

Liu Yan came to Yecheng without the idea of ​​living in the palace. He didn't burn the palace. It has already been rumored among the people, and it is even worse to house so many women in the palace. If he really lives in it, he can just sit. Fulfill those claims.

Yecheng contains mountains. When Shihu chose to build the palace complex, he took the mountains in the city as the main construction site. From a distance, you can see the buildings, chapter towers, and palaces located in the green mountains, which shows the large scale.

"Only four or five tenths of it was built." Ran Min had been to the palace himself, and he even thought about living in it. Fortunately, he was dissuaded by his retainers, and said in an incomprehensible tone: "It was built by the people's fat and people's anointing." Yes, it is very magnificent inside."

You can see a piece of bright yellow rubble from a distance, and the rest are dominated by red and black walls. If you get closer, you can see some carved walls on some walls, which are all when some barbarians hunted scene.

Even if Liu Yan is going to visit the palace, he can't just go as soon as he comes, because it is impossible to make a big splash because of the relationship between some remarks.He will wander around the city, meet some old people for condolences according to the tradition of the Han family, which is also a respect for the elderly, and then he will go out of the city again and enter the camp.

It is not easy to live a long life in this year. Apart from the war, it is the relationship between food and hygiene. Ran Min and others searched for a long time before they found a dozen or so old Han people over 60 years old.

There was a custom in China in the early years, that is, to hold open-air banquets when entertaining the elderly. The food does not necessarily have to be rich and luxurious, but to show respect for the elderly and listen to all kinds of nagging from the elderly who have lived for a long time and make some comments.

Liu Yan met the old man in a square in the city, where a high platform had been built in advance, which was a very common kind of earthen platform.The height of the earth platform is about ten feet. A layer of carpet is laid on the ground, and there are table tables and sitting gardens. A three-legged tripod and an incense table are placed in the middle. Some fruits and some writing scrolls will be placed on the incense table. A burner of incense is a must. .

In the traditional Han family society, living for a long time is a kind of capital. Not only can you meet local officials anytime and anywhere, but you can also make suggestions and interfere with how the government governs the local area. If you really offend them, gather enough people Go to the capital to ask to see the king, but all kings who care about their reputation must see them.Therefore, the old people in the Han family are really easy to offend, they can be domineering in the countryside (not an antonym), and even the sheriff of a county can be dismissed when they meet the king, and it can even cause a war from top to bottom. The next killing.

Under the gaze of countless people watching, Liu Yan toasted to a dozen old people frequently.In the various narrations of the old man, he would laugh "haha" from time to time to express his joy, and sometimes he would show an angry expression.

Those who can live to be over 60 years old are all born in the Western Jin Dynasty. They have experienced various internal strife and civil wars of the same Miao descent, and the Sima family continued to lure Hu people south.

According to the stories of some old people, no matter what kind of Hu people came to the Central Plains, they always behaved carefully. At that time, although the country had just emerged from the civil war among the vassals in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hu people still treated the descendants of the Han family very differently. of awe.

The awe of the Han people by the Hu people started when Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty went to the north to attack the Xiongnu. The Han-Hungarian war lasted for more than 130 years, and the battle shocked the heavens and the earth. Although there were many civil wars and wars in the Western Han Dynasty, Chaos, the problem is staying strong and winning in foreign wars.

The Hu people have maintained their fear of the Han people for a long time. Even if it is the chaos of the new dynasty and the green forest, the Hu people dare not easily go south and blend in blindly.The Eastern Han Dynasty was established by Liu Xiu. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns jumped very hard. Because of the great chaos, the Eastern Han regime actually took a defensive position when facing the weakened version of the Huns. At one time, the Huns showed signs of raising their heads, which was the most obvious. The most important thing is that not only the Huns are jumping, but also the Xianbei and Wuhuan people who are descendants of the Donghu will also be jumping in the northeast.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was not as tough as it was after Emperor Xiaowu of the Western Han Dynasty. It finally suppressed the Xiongnu and Wuhuan under the combination of hardness and softness. It seemed powerless to the Xianbei, Qiang, Nanman, and Zhuyue. The mighty military prestige also made the Hu people dare not underestimate the Han people.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Miao descendants of the Han family continued to make great deaths by themselves. During the period of Dong Zhuo’s chaos, the Miao descendants of the Han family showed a tendency to weaken. The most obvious is that the Sili area fell into the hands of various Qiangs, and part of the Yan land was also occupied by the Xianbei people. Even the Heshuo area was completely taken away by the barbarians.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei had to deal with the civil war and deal with the Hu people on the northern front. It should be said that Cao Wei did not lose face in the foreign war. Feng fled to the plateau, and even the Western Regions were once again under the control of Cao Wei; correspondingly, the Shu Han continued to launch wars against the Nanman during the civil war, fighting, suppressing and appeasement, it was not easy to deter the Nanman, but the Nanman's rebellion was still frequent. Fa; Soochow is facing Nanman and Zhuyue. The country of this old Sun family is completely incomparable with Cao Wei. Even compared with Shuhan, it doesn’t look very good. Zhu Yue was not convinced.

The Hu people's confidence began to grow because of the various armed Hu people of Sima's family. The armed Hu people were taken to participate in various civil wars against the descendants of the Han family. How could one not discover the weakness of the descendants of the Han family.

The real rise of the Hu people was after the Sima family had a melee among the eight kings. The knife was handed over to the Hu people by the Sima family. Not only the emperor of the Sima family was arrested to carry the chamber pot for Liu Yuan, but most of the country fell.On the contrary, the various aristocratic families that have been formed for a long time are very agile. Seeing that the barbarians are about to wreak havoc, they immediately pack up their clothes and come to the south to continue to be their top-ranking families.

Liu Yan could tell that the old people's resentment towards the Jin Dynasty's court was not very deep. Not only did they have gritted teeth when they spoke, but their tone of voice was also full of hatred.

The observers had different mood swings following the old man's narration. The barbarians' rampage was not only heard or experienced. The uselessness of the Jin Dynasty court was proved by the facts. The common people in the Hu-occupied area have been reduced to the point where they are not even as good as wild animals.

"The emperor is here!" The trembling old man stood up on crutches and bowed to Liu Yan, and said intermittently in a trembling voice: "The emperor of the Han family will come again, and he will be our own, so there will be no barbarians. It continues to wreak havoc.”

Liu Yan hasn't proclaimed himself emperor yet, so he can't be regarded as an emperor, but judging by the address of the old man, it can be understood as a kind of expectation.

Putting aside whether one of our own people would bully our own people, the officials standing nearby basically lit up when they heard the word "Emperor".

The Han Kingdom has now recovered complete Qingzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, and Guanzhong have also recovered most of the areas, and Bingzhou and Youzhou have even laid down some counties.The Han army attacked everywhere without showing signs of weakness. The two Han armies in the north and the south were not at all afraid to face the Hu people. Everyone felt that it was only a matter of time before all the old land of the Han family was restored.

"It's time to consider proclaiming the emperor." Ji Chang kept his voice low, without looking at Sang Yu who was beside him, and continued: "Only when the name is correct can the words be right. Before the southern invasion, the emperor can only be proclaimed after the Zhengshuo struggle." It’s truly justified.”

At present, it is not only the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who is proclaiming the emperor. Shi Hu also proclaimed the emperor again in the third year of Yuanshuo, but it seems reasonable to start a decisive battle with the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
