The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Liu Zhi was stunned, he never expected to hear such an answer from brother.He thought the idea was too crazy and unbelievable, but deep down, he felt his blood burning because of such a thought.

"Ah, brother, is this possible?"

Xia Anran threw a piece of charcoal into the stove.In later generations, 56 ethnic groups have united, but now there are only two ethnic groups, so where is the difference? He groaned: "In the old days when Chu and Han fought, the children of Jiangdong hated Gaozu so much, what about now?"

"During the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, they supported King Wu very much."

At that time, Liu Bang was afraid that the land of Jiangdong would rebel against the big man, so he sent him to govern this hard bone. Unexpectedly, the governance was too good. .

Wu Wangbi is the nephew of their enemy Liu Bang.

Of course, it is also possible that this is the revenge method that Jiangdong's children came up with, and King Wu is just a pawn they use, but Xiaodouding didn't think of it for a while.

This immediate example made Liu She's whole face wrinkle up.

He murmured for a long time, and then whispered into Xia Anran's ear and asked: "Then, if the Huns annexed the big Han, will we Han people slowly accept the leadership of the Huns like the Jiangdong children?"

Ouch!

this problem……

Xia Anran retracted his sleeves, fixedly looked at Liu Xiaozhu's face, and explained his answer with his eyes.

Liu Zhi shrunk into a ball, almost cracked in disbelief, "Why, how could it be? The Huns killed so many Han people..."

Xia Anran shook her head with a smile, and pinched her younger brother's face: "If the Huns can manage the Han people well, so that every Han can live a better life than they are now, can eat enough, have no wars, and live and work in peace and contentment, then as long as they live In the last two or three generations, the newly born Han Chinese will be able to fully accept the leadership of the Huns."

"vice versa."

The concept of "Han nationality" does not yet exist. Strictly speaking, every member of the Han people was once a captive state of Qin, and every city has the memory of being plundered.

In this world where the average life expectancy is 30 years old and the illiteracy rate is almost 100%, where are so many people discussing with you about integrity and self-esteem?It's not easy to survive.

The granary knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing knows the honor and disgrace. It has only been a few years since the time when there was no enough to eat. Until now, no one dares to say that everyone in the Han Kingdom can have enough to eat.

Cultural traditions and ideological education are just beginning.

This era is an era in which propriety and righteousness are collapsing and being reshaped.

What's more, in that "stable" era, there may not be no people who have big thoughts, so they can tolerate what others can't.As for of course, there is no need to tell my brother about this.

The child's three views were completely shattered and could not be reorganized for the time being. Now he was sitting there blankly looking at him, his eyes were swollen and dazed, and he looked very pitiful, like a fluffy puppy wet by the rain.

Seeing Xiao Douding's appearance, Xia Anran sighed softly, and picked up his younger brother, "Hey, don't think about it, wash and sleep first."

Liu Xiaoshen lost all energy, he let Xia Anran play with him listlessly, and finally huddled under the warm blanket and stared at him.

Seeing this, Xia Anran felt a little guilty, his younger brother was only so young, why would he say these things...

It's really because Liu Zhi is too smart on weekdays, he unknowingly treats his younger brother as an older child, and even treats him as a peer.

Xia Anran also went to bed, got into her younger brother's bed, hugged Xiao Douding in her arms, and then pressed her younger brother's eyes with one hand, "Hey, go to sleep first, don't think about it."

Liu She didn't say a word, he was arched in his brother's arms, pinching the hem of his brother's clothes with his little paws, feeling extremely depressed.

He always thought that all Han people were the same as him, and especially hated the Huns, but now listening to what my brother said, it seems that this is not the case at all.

Is it really possible to let go of the previous hatred just because you can feed people and live a better life?

Could it be that the Han people are really so easy to accept barbarian governance?

——If my future grandchildren and great-grandchildren will become such people, I, I will get out of the grave and spank their asses after I die!

Liu Zhi thought angrily.

Therefore, the tomb cannot be made too thick, otherwise it will not be easy to come out.

He thought gravely of the dreaded subject.

After a while, Liu Xiaozhu was still not reconciled, he arched his buttocks, "Brother, is there really no other way?"

"Ok?"

"Is there no way for big Han people to always remember that they are Han people?" Liu She asked seriously, "I don't want them to forget that they are Han people. I don't want them to forget their blood feud, and I don't want them to Because I ate well, played well, and slept well, I forgot my grandpa and grandpa, and I also forgot so many soldiers who once protected them. It’s okay to forget the pig... But the pig doesn’t want them to forget the soldiers, they don’t Should be forgotten."

Xiao Douding talked too much all of a sudden, and actually choked on his saliva.Xia Anran hurriedly sat up, helped the little baby up, and lightly hit him on the back to make the child come back, "Brother, is there really no other way?"

"Yes..." Xia Anran looked at the boy who made Han the most proud word of the Chinese nation, and kissed the boy on the cheek, "But brother, I won't tell you today."

Liu She was stunned, "Why, why!"

"It's time for the baby to go to bed." Xia Anran hugged the stunned Xiao Douding in her arms and lay back down again, "Brother talked too much today, I don't want to talk now."

Liu Zhi: ...Why, why is this!

He squeezed his small fists and swore in his heart that in the future, when his elder brother asked him any questions, he would hang on to his elder brother and not tell him!

The next day, the bad-hearted elder brother received his retribution. He was woken up early in the morning by the pressure of Mount Tai.

Little Douding Liu Zhi was riding on his brother's waist, his eyes were wide open, and he said to his brother who was awakened from sleep, "Brother! It's tomorrow!"

Xia Anran: Whose unlucky brother is this!Take it away, take it away!

Then in the end he wiped his face and realized that his younger brother belonged to him, or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he had to take it away by himself.

Xia Anran sighed, sat up slowly, pushed his younger brother under the quilt, and said: "This is what my brother wants to tell you, why do you let the children of the Huns learn, let their talents Come to be an official."

"Do you know the greatest thing Qin Shihuang Yingzheng did?"

Liu Zhi tilted his head, "Unified currency! Unified weights and measures, and, and..."

He rubbed his head, "The book is the same text? The same track?"

The little king nodded. In the Han Dynasty, heroes and kings were always relatively fair, and they would not intentionally vilify them. Therefore, although Qin Shihuang was from the previous dynasty and was still the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, his stories kept appearing. In the teaching courses of the little highness... ahem, the main purpose is to warn these little highnesses not to learn from the tyranny and nonsense of the first emperor.

"Hey, you missed a little bit."

"Line in the same family."

Xia Anran put down vests on Xiaodouding and himself, and then put on a whole set of clothes outside. He patiently explained to his brother: "There is a rule of the Huns, that is, when a husband dies, his wives and concubines can inherit from him." The sons of the position shall inherit together."

"But we big men don't allow such things to happen, so you see, from this point of view, our ethics are different."

"There are many such differences. For example, the Huns would not eat wild geese unless necessary, but we raised them to goose for the purpose of eating wild goose meat."

"As long as such differences exist, then there will be conflicts between us."

Xia Anran brought a small comb, and tied a crooked shofar braid for Liu Zhi. Then he looked left and right and was dissatisfied. Relatively unified, differences can be put aside, but common ground must be sought.”

"When we use the same language, receive the same education, and have the same beliefs, then no matter where your blood comes from, you will end up as a big man."

"In this way, if the Huns really rule the Han one day, they will suddenly find that they are like savages in front of the Han."

"Whether it's for integration or for better governance, in the end they have to come to learn and study our etiquette and our culture."

"How many people are there in the big man? How many are there the Huns?" Xia Anran raised the corners of her lips slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes, "The final result is that they will completely integrate into the etiquette culture of the big man. "

"As long as etiquette, culture, and Chinese characters exist, the big man will always exist."

And the premise of all this is... the big man must first have his own unique culture that can be widely recognized.

In Zhongshan, there are many scattered villages in the vast fields outside the city walls.

These villages are under the jurisdiction of the county state, and the villagers elect village chiefs and township chiefs as leaders.

Apart from the inconvenience of purchasing, the others are no different from the residents in the city. However, since the troops in the county are stationed in the city, the safety of the villages outside the city can only depend on themselves.Villages that are a little richer will build their own city walls, and they will also arrange strong labor to be responsible for patrolling.

But for poor villages... they can only rely on a small wooden door to resist.

Most of these villages are distributed near the mountains and forests. The land near the mountains and forests is hardened, and tree roots are easy to grow underground. It takes a lot of effort to repair the land, and the locals don't like to live there.Most of the people who will live here are refugees from outside, barely settling down.

Villages of this nature are lifeless in winter, because winter is always difficult for poor people, snow piled high on the road, frozen, and the biting cold may take the lives of the weak at any time.Usually, the family can only cover a quilt that is better than nothing to warm each other with body temperature.

Only when it is extremely cold, they will light the brazier.

The brazier in the room has to be taken care of patiently, not daring to let it go out, because once the brazier goes out, you have to ask the next door to ask for a fire, and it is bound to leave the house.

If anyone wanted to leave the house at this time, they would really have to put on the clothes of the whole family. Even so, they would still be shivering from the cold.

Throughout the winter, children from poor families were almost not allowed to get out of bed.Because there are not so many children's clothes for them to wear, and children can't get sick. If they really get a cold, they can only suffer and resign themselves to fate.

—but this is the past.

This year, thanks to the promotion policy of continuous planting of bean and wheat, the seeds can be received, and in the policy of encouraging land reclamation, as long as they are not too lazy, people have benefited to some extent.In addition, there are too many projects in Zhongshan this year. Although labor is paid, there are still many employment jobs.

For example, when the caravans come to purchase, there must be porters who need to move the goods, right?

Brick factories and kiln factories need to burn bricks, pottery, and porcelain. They must need someone to help them carry mud, right?

People are not afraid of suffering, but they are afraid that they will not even have a chance to suffer.After three seasons, as long as the family is not a leaky family, they can save some money to repair their leaky house before the winter, and store some firewood to keep warm while working.

Compared with the past, the days can be described as beautiful.

The power of the heated kang is also in full swing this year.

If you have money, you can find a professional craftsman, and if you don’t have money, you can scrape together some bricks and stones as raw materials, and then find a way to inspect the appearance of other people’s kangs. With your own thinking, almost every family, big or small, can Set up a kang.

But setting it up is one thing, using it is another.

To heat the kang, the fuel used in the cold winter is not a small number.Although you can cut more firewood if you are close to the woods, most people are still reluctant to use it because they don’t know how long the winter will be, so they usually carry it.

Last year there was only one quilt, and this year I bought another one. Two quilts are covered together. After all, it is much warmer than last year!

The adults went out to hunt lacquer fruit during the day, and the children were not allowed to come out in the house. Later, everyone found that it was inconvenient, so a few families gathered together, and the adults sent the children to the same family when they went out. Then only this family burns a kang, and then packs a meal, the children are warm again, and the adults can let go of their hands completely.Everyone takes turns, it's not fair or not.

This method, which fully liberated labor, quickly spread to the poorest parts of the country.

The lacquer tree close to the residential area has been lighted for a long time, and the lacquer tree is not wild. It can be regarded as a big family in the village.

This kind of tree is naturally not easy to pick fruit, and the trees near the village are all surrounded by people in the village.

If you want to earn this extra income, you have to go to the mountains and forests to find trees that have not been harvested, or trees that are too tall for others to harvest.

Basically, they have to go dangerously, but even so, the villagers are still very satisfied, and the days are getting better every year, which makes people look forward to it.

The men and women all set out towards the jungle, making loud noises as they went to scare the non-hibernating animals in the forest.

They don't have bears here, so they don't have to worry about disturbing the black blind men who like to find caves to live in.

The terrain of Zhongshan is mainly plains, but because it is adjacent to the Taihang Mountains, in winter, tigers from the mountains will occasionally come down the mountain to look for food. Livestock that have been raised by humans to become fat and have no ability to escape are the easiest way to obtain food.

There are not many such cases, and generally tigers will not take the initiative to approach human gathering places, but the forest is their world, walking in the forest, it is very likely to encounter big cats resting here.

I am not afraid of meeting a big cat, but I am afraid of meeting a big cat who wants to find a wife.

Said a lame man who had once been a hunter.He tutted and walked forward leaning on his crutches, "At this time, the big cats are basically looking at what to catch, but they are easy to identify. At this time, the male cat will keep howling to find the female cat. It is obvious where there is a tiger. .”

"But the trouble is... a female cat with cubs, the female cat will be very anxious at this time, and some male cats will kill the kittens to force the female cat to be his wife, so if there is a female cat nearby... ..."

He stopped talking, because less than ten feet away, he saw a big cat with a macaque in its mouth looking at him.

Blood dripped from the macaque's severed neck, and red plum blossoms bloomed in the snow.

He only felt that his throat was dry, but he still said the words slowly, "Don't conflict with it."

The news of the tiger appearing in the forest soon reached the little king.

The tiger itself had prey, and it might not be very hungry, so it didn't attack the villagers, but even so, the villagers were terrified, and ran out of the forest with a scramble, and then found the local government officials to report.

The presence of a tiger in the woods is a very serious matter, especially a tigress.

Whether it is the fact that the female cat will attract male cats, or that the female cat may give birth to more kittens, and increase the amount of predation in order to raise cats, it will cause headaches for the local people.Once a big cat is found, it must be reported to the higher authorities, and the local government will mobilize manpower to expel or kill it.

Tigers are not protected animals now, they are the kings standing at the top of the ecological chain, on the contrary, human beings are the weak who need to gather for self-protection and drive out bullies.

Xia Anran was a little surprised at the ecology of the Zhongshan country's forest.According to Zhidu's analysis, this should be a tiger that used to live on the Taihang Mountains. It abandoned its territory and escaped to avoid enthusiastic suitors.

"If your expectations are correct, this tigress should be with cubs." Zhi Du frowned, "Although the tigress doesn't care much about her territory, she won't leave easily. This tiger left its territory suddenly. It should be to avoid the male tiger."

"If it's a cub..." Zhidu hesitated, according to the rules, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding will not be killed.

But if the female beast is not killed, there will be no protection for the surrounding residents.Although the tiger is in the depths of the forest now, it is the time for the villagers to harvest lacquer fruits. Apart from this group of villagers, there must be other villagers entering the forest. The female beast is sensitive, and the villagers will be aroused one day if they go deep into the forest repeatedly. Its ferocity.

And as the days get colder and colder, the food that the female beast can catch must be less and less. A mother who has to raise a child must eat a lot of meat. It is absolutely impossible for this tigress to stop hunting. The villages near this forest are relatively poor , very few breeders.

Without livestock, it is self-evident who the tiger will hunt.

So the final conclusion is - kill.

In this season, as long as the mother beast is killed, the cubs will not be able to survive.

Seeing that the little king showed hesitation, he persuaded softly: "Keeping tigers is a problem, Your Highness."

"I know." Xia Anran sighed softly, "Prime Minister arrange it! Be fully prepared, don't let the soldiers be injured, and use the crossbow if necessary."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Bushi had other thoughts, he went out and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I think it is improper to use the crossbow, so please send a sword team."

Seeing several people looking at him, the lieutenant who held the military power of the Zhongshan Kingdom explained: "I have tried to use the sword as the main weapon to train the formation before, but the soldiers have not seen blood so far, and they have never actually practiced. Empty shelf."

"Although the tiger has only one head, the tiger is mighty. If the soldiers can fight the tiger together, they will be bloody." He explained to Xia Anran, "Using a crossbow is extremely easy and safe for soldiers to win, but It can't have the effect of training soldiers."

General Cheng Bushi said that to fight a tiger, one should use a knife, and using long-range weapons is evil.

Fighting with big cats?The little king's eyes widened. The big cat's explosive power is extremely strong, and its limbs are thicker than that of a lion. What if it gets injured in a meat-to-meat fight?

Regarding his question, neither Cheng Bushi nor Zhi paid much attention to it.A real man is not afraid of being scratched by a tiger, that is a meritorious service!The kind that can point to the scars to show off when the injury is cured, as long as it doesn't die.

Moreover, there are soldiers in hand, and it is a sea of ​​​​people tactics. If you can still be injured by the tigress, it will be very difficult.

Cheng Bushi also wanted to take this opportunity to test the psychological quality of the soldiers again.

All right, all right, the little king twitched his mouth and used a tiger as a tool for testing his guts.

He asked Cheng Bushi to make arrangements. Since he wanted to hunt tigers, he might as well look at other animals in the forest. It was fine if they were not threatening or not in groups. If they were more ferocious, it would be better to turn them into skins.

The news is not a secret. When the soldiers were fully equipped, many people in related industries were ready, especially the villagers living nearby.

After the army enters the forest, there will definitely be a fight. At that time, prey will definitely run out of the forest in fright, or some prey that the soldiers think is not tasty will be thrown in. These are a precious meat dish in winter.Even if it is particularly unpalatable meat, the fur of a beast is always warmer than the cloth when it is peeled off.

Moreover, wild animals will tuck their tails inside after the army passes by, and it is safest to enter the forest at this time.

The people also expect the army to go deeper, and then they can go deep into the jungle to see what good things are there.

Because the trip was too noisy, the little beans in Zhongshan immediately held the little king's thigh and asked to see the scene.

"Brother! You will be good!" Liu Xiaozhu, who was still rolling all over the floor in the morning to show that he was already very tired and didn't want to pack his luggage, was resurrected with full blood at this time. He didn't look like he just breathed out , It is almost possible to perform a punching cub for his brother right now.

"Brother, take me to see a tiger~ I have never seen a tiger before! Not only a tiger, but I have never seen a pig. I really want to know what the name my father gave to my son means duck! Brother ~"

Xia Anran looked at this younger brother in shock, and then his expression quickly became disgusted.In order to see a tiger, his younger brother actually found this excuse, Liu Xiaozhu, have you never seen a pig?In this era when domestic pigs are similar to wild boars, you can see it almost every day, okay?

In the Western Han Dynasty, who was a martial artist, even Emperor Jing, who looked weak, could go hunting on horseback. The usual place for them to hunt was Shanglinyuan.This palace left over from the former Qin Dynasty raised a lot of livestock for the emperor to hunt.

Of course, because of the preferences and aesthetic tendencies of the two emperors, Wen and Jing, today’s Shanglin Garden mainly focuses on gardening landscapes. Although there are some small animals, most of them are docile... But it’s not without accident, Xia Anran’s mother, who was still Jia Ji's Mrs. Jia encountered a wild boar breaking into the toilet when she was visiting the garden with Emperor Jing.

But this is also the limit, there is really no such thing as a tiger.

Liu Xiaozhu has never seen a big tiger since he grew up so big!He only saw it in books. It is said that there is a natural king character on the big tiger's head, but he doesn't know if it is true.

Not only Liu Xiaozhu, but also Wei Qing, who had tasted the sweetness last time, also posted it.

The child is young, and he is not as stubborn as Liu She. Ah Qing and Xiao Douding are very obedient, very, very obedient, even the hands holding the thighs are not as tight as Liu She, but with adults who only need to take a step. The strength to break free.

Rather than hugging, it's better to say restraint, Liu Xiaozhu's strength is the kind that Xia Anran can lift him up, just like a fat carrot.

The little king has always been soft and not tough, the child's cautious attitude is too distressing, let alone this is Wei Qing!

Wei Qing asked to see the tiger, who could refuse him?

But Xia Anran is different, because he is an adult with principles.

The principled adult said with a straight face: "This matter is not trivial, you have to ask General Cheng, if General Cheng agrees, I will take you there."

The cunning little king handed the pot to Cheng Bushi, who was selfless and selfless. Seeing his pendants untied immediately, he felt relieved. As for handing the pot to Cheng Bushi, is it a bit unkind... Uh, dead friend , Don't die poor.

The author has something to say:

Today is the second day that the author is leading the class, and the author is still flying outside today.

But the manuscript depositor thinks that she should struggle among the crowd, or else she will be a follower, anyway, she can't be everyone.

Wu Wang is the eldest nephew who is particularly capable of fighting, and was trapped in the particularly thorny Jiangdong land by Liu Bang. Similarly, he was also the one whose son was smashed to death by Han Jingdi Liu Qiyi, and he did not come to Chang'an for 20 years. .

This very rich man is not short of surcharges on agricultural products, so he didn't collect taxes when governing the local area... For the local people, this is simply a good monarch in the world.

So when he was going to rebel, everyone was very active.

... Cough, of course, it is not known what the reason for this positiveness is.

Before the Confucian religion ruled the country in the early Western Han Dynasty, it was really difficult to say in terms of etiquette, law and morality. They took the matter of surrender very lightly, so Han Yan's grandfather and uncle who returned from the surrender of the Huns were still able to be named marquises (of course, mainly because they brought returned precious information)

After all, in an era when there is an important demand for surrender, all the people you shouted to surrender were traitors, and the Huns would not dare to surrender.

This is a difference in the background of the times.

With regard to ethnic issues, we must still require common ground while reserving differences. The root is the same, and differences in details are allowed.

Although many people don't like Confucianism, especially the pseudo-Confucianism in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, in fact, it has indeed played an indelible role in stabilizing the unity of the Chinese nation. Because everyone has the same thinking and the same philosophy, the country can be united for a long time.

Cough, by the way... the matter of beating tigers...

cough
