Chastity Layman

Danshui Port.

Today is extraordinarily lively, Danshui pier, boats go down the river, there are canoes, there are small paddle boats, one after another, people arrive at the pier, standing in front of this Danshui city that they are not unfamiliar with, but the first time There was a feeling of panic and uneasiness.

It’s no longer the feeling when you came to trade and buy in the past. In the past, they were the masters, and these Han people were just outsiders, businessmen.

But today, they all accepted Wei Guogong's call to come to the alliance.

If you don't come, you can't, the heads of the chiefs of the Eighth Phoenix Society are held high by thousands of people and parade around the country, and soldiers approach each village and society, showing off their might and hanging their heads to show the public.

Some were not convinced, but they broke through the stronghold in two or three strokes, resulting in the beheading of a chief, and the end of the whole village without slavery.

After several villages outside the Eighth Society were destroyed, no one in the other Fanshe finally dared to stroke their beards anymore. Facing the Han people who were showing off their might, they could only be polite.

Give gifts such as buckskin camphor.

League.

Duke Wei called for a meeting of the chiefs, although many people were also worried that the Han people had bad intentions, but no one dared to refuse, and no one dared not to come.

With the threat of strong bows and crossbows on the one hand, and the gift of fine wine and silk on the other, what choice do they have.

pier.

The warships of the three major naval divisions are moored in the port, with white sails dotted, which is spectacular.

The Marine Corps even practiced directly on the pier, with flags like forests and orders shaking the sky.

The dazzling bright light armor, the sturdy fish scale armor, and even the fine steel cable armor from Persia, Mo Dao, horse spear, long axe, rifle, spear...

Seeing that these soldiers and horses were stronger and mightier than those who came to show off their strength in front of their stronghold, the chieftains secretly rejoiced that they had come, but they were also more disturbed.

A row of heavily armed soldiers blocked the pier, and all incoming chiefs were ushered aside for registration.

"Which tribe and community are they from, who is the chief's name, how many people are in the community, how many are young and old, who is the leader of the team that came this time, and how many people are here..."

Under the shade of the trees, officials in robes were there to ask questions, and there were general interpreters beside them.

Just like checking the household registration, the interrogation was clear, and finally each person got a wooden sign with their name, clan, and appearance written on it.

"This is your temporary ID card, which is also your pass. Remember to hang it around your neck, and it must be exposed to the outside. Otherwise, if you don't have this card, you will be caught by the patrolling soldiers, and you will be sent to a slave camp."

On the construction site of the new town of Danshui Port, Qin Lang is leading people to worship the City God.

The new city has just been planned and construction has not yet officially started, but the City God Temple was built immediately.

The Temple of the City God is a temple used to worship the God of the City God, who is also called the God of the City God.

City God originally refers to the city moat, and the rules for offering sacrifices to the City God were formed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The people of the Tang Dynasty had a strong belief in the City God. While the court vigorously cracked down on prostitution in various places, it also officially included the City God in the national ceremonies.

The City God is the guardian deity of the city. According to the legends of the people, he is the magistrate of the underworld, which is equivalent to the governor of a city. However, there is another major feature of the City God Temple, that is, the city gods are different in different places, and basically they are based on the merits of the local people. The famous officials and heroes to act.

Therefore, the town gods from all over the world have this down-to-earth identity, coupled with the supernatural powers of the messengers of the underworld, so the town gods are very popular in the Tang Dynasty.

Especially since Zhenguan, the Buddha was suppressed and Taoism was suppressed. After a large number of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in various places were banned, the common people had nowhere to go to burn incense and worship Buddha, so the city gods in the official official ceremonies became lively.

Qin Lang is the initiator of Zhenguan Suppressing Buddha and Eliminating Taoism, but it does not mean that he is against belief.

Faith is the spiritual sustenance of the people, which is a good thing. He just opposes the excessive prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism, and even a large number of black apples.

The new city is about to be built, and a city god's temple will be erected first, and guardians will be invited first.

The City God in the Tamsui City God Temple, originally everyone wanted to invite Qin Lang's statue of the Heavenly King to sit in the town, but Qin Lang refused. Now he is the Heavenly King and the door god is enough to show off. In the end, he suggested that Zhang Zhenzhou be the city god of Tamsui.

The reason is that during the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Zhenzhou went to Liuqiu Island twice, and led his troops to defeat the King Fan who refused to surrender to the Central Plains. Moreover, he also led a fleet to the east through Liuqiu, crossed the Diaoyu Islands and discovered Liuqiu of later generations. islands.

In the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Zhenzhou paid homage to Dr. Jin Ziguanglu. After entering the Tang Dynasty, he also made a lot of contributions. He is a clean and honest official, deeply negative reputation and popular support.

Later, he went to pay homage to General Zuo Wuhou, and was posthumously presented to the governor of Guangzhou after his death.

Zhang Zhenzhou was not the first Central Plains official to Liuqiu, nor was he the first general to lead troops to conquer Liuqiu, but Zhang Zhenzhou still had great deterrent power among the Fanren, including Qin Huan who had been moved to the Central Plains by him. Fan people are very afraid of Zhang Zhenzhou's name.

"In the west of the city is the Temple of the City God, in the east of the city is the Temple of the Dragon King of the East Sea, in the south of the city is the Temple of Guanyin of the South China Sea, and in the north of the city is the Palace of Heavenly Kings of Sanlang and his son." The head of Danshui County said with a smile.

"There is no need to build the Temple of Heavenly Kings." Qin Lang shook his head.

"It's necessary. The Tianwang Temple is included in the national official worship, and it is the highest national level. Of course, we have to build Danshui. Besides, the Tianwang Temple has always been effective. It can keep the weather in one side, suppress locusts and epidemics. How can it be less. "

Qin Lang no longer objected, but reminded, "We must remember to build a Confucian temple in the city. It must be built with a solemn atmosphere. Not only must Yan Yuan be the ancestor to enjoy it, but also twenty-two ancestral Confucians below Zuoqiu Ming should be selected to worship the temple."

Qin Lang specially planned the prime location in the center of New Tamsui City for the school, and the center of the school is the Confucius Temple.

In recent years, Li Shimin has formally confirmed the status of Confucius as the first sage, and established the sacrificial system.

The Confucian Temple has also become an integral part of the school. The Imperial College Confucian Temple is the highest Confucian Temple, and then there are state school Confucian temples, county school Confucian temples, etc., all of which have strict regulations.

Tamsui New City will be Liuqiu State City, and the Confucian Temple is naturally a state-level Confucian Temple, and it will also be a state school.

Qin Lang attaches great importance to the school, because in order to seek long-term development in Liuzhou, cultural education is the most important thing. Only with a sword in one hand and a pen in one hand can this treasure island be included in the territory of the Central Plains.

"Sanlang, the chieftains have arrived one after another." Ah Huang came to inform.

"How many are here?"

For this alliance, Qin Lang did not call the whole island, but only called the flatland fan clubs in the Taipei Basin, Yilan Plain, and Taoyuan Plain, and some mountain fan clubs were also notified.

Farther away, it is still out of reach for the time being, and even in the mountains, it is temporarily impossible to contact.

"About a hundred people came."

Qin Lang thought about it, the number of people who came was not too many, less than half, but it was not bad to be able to come so many.

"Is there a mountain fan?"

"A few are here."

"Only a few?"

Cheng Chu silently chewed betel nuts. He liked the betel nuts produced on this island. When he first came into contact with them, he felt very excited, but after trying it a few times, he became addicted. "If you ask me, we are still being too polite. We haven't killed enough people, and we have destroyed too few Fanshe. Let me lead the army and go to destroy dozens of his villages, and see who dares to refuse orders."

Qin Lang shook his head at Cheng Chumo's rude thoughts.

"It's okay to just fight and kill. What is rule? Rule is not simply killing and conquering. Forget it, it's not bad to have more than a hundred people here. Let's talk to them first."

Old Danshui Port, Ya Nei, more than a hundred chieftains were invited in, and all the guards and entourages were left outside.

Entering the heavily guarded Yacheng, looking at the Tang army with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, many chiefs couldn't help but fight with their legs.

Fortunately, there are no swords and swords, but good tea and wine to entertain.

The hall, which is very decorated in the style of Chang'an, is covered with waxed wooden floors, and the tables are painted with exquisite lacquer.

Standing at the door, the chiefs were a little afraid to go in, looking at their dirty straw sandals or bare feet, they always felt unworthy.

A chief begged for water to wash his feet.

A group of chiefs each got a basin of water and a cloth towel, so they all breathed a sigh of relief, washed their faces, hands and feet, and then dared to step into the hall.

Kneeling and sitting in the living room, each person has a small table with drinks and refreshments on it.

Looking at those exquisite lacquerware, wine utensils, and snacks, none of the chiefs dared to touch them.

Waited for a long time.

"Founding the country and coordinating with Tianjing and chaos, Yuan Cong's hero, inspector Sikong, Kaifuyitong three divisions, Chongxianguan University scholar, history museum supervisor of national history, Pingzhang political affairs, Prince Zhan Shi, world-appointed governor of Wu'an Prefecture, son-in-law Duwei, Shangzhu Kingdom, Shiyi 5,000 households gave solid food seals to 2,000 households, Zijin fish bags, imperial envoys to observe customs in the southeast, ordered the governor to organize and train the Beihai Navy, the South China Sea Fleet defense envoy, and the Duke of Wei to come! "

A series of long titles came out one after another, and a general translator began to translate.

In order to be able to express the accurate meaning, the Chinese interpreter took a lot of brains. It is not easy to translate each title into a meaning that can be understood by Fan people.

It took a lot of saliva to finally finish the translation.

Those fan chiefs were all dumbfounded.

What is the twelve-character title of hero, what is Sikong, what is the inspector, what is Kaifu Yitong Sansi, what is the university scholar, what is Pingzhang political affairs, Prince Zhan's affairs, and is both the governor and the captain. , listening to the head is big.

But they finally understood one thing, the Duke of Wei is indeed a very distinguished nobleman.

Datang has a population of more than 50 million, with millions of armored people.

This young man is not only the son-in-law of the emperor, but also the teacher of the prince, the prime minister of the empire, and the governor of the empire's two-ocean naval fleet...

"sit!"

Qin Lang smiled slightly when he saw the chieftains bowing down on the ground with their buttocks raised high.

Sitting on the upper couch, Qin Lang leaned on the table with half of his body, scanning the group of chieftains.

They are basically Pingdi fans, mainly from the plains on both sides of the Tamsui River, and some people from Taoyuan Plain. People from Yilan Plain sent people to notify, and people from Jilongwan area also sent people to notify, but only two or three people came. They all came here to trade and do business.

For the Shandi fan, only a few fan clubs near Danshui Port came.

The chieftains are all about the same, with dark skin, short hair, and tattoos. On a hot day, many of them only wear short robes that only reach the thighs, revealing two strong black legs, and half of their chests. All open.
