Chapter 888 (1/2)
A few days later, the caravan crossed the wasteland and came to the heart of Yiqu country. The terrain gradually fluctuated and the climate gradually became mild. The two ancestral veins of Qilian Mountains and Helan Mountains in the distance were like a pair of open huge arms. They met at Liupan Mountain and Longshan mountain in Yiqu country, blocking the cold wind and snow in the north, creating this winter camp with a warm climate.
The caravans were getting closer and closer to the capital of Yiqu state, and large tracts of farmland gradually appeared on both sides of the commercial road. Many Canrong slaves worked in the fields with wooden Leishi.
This ancient farming scene, which can only be seen during the slash and burn period, has aroused some interest of Chen ang. From the productivity development level of Yiqu gourong tribe, it is still roughly in the Shang and Zhou dynasties of Middle Earth. Slaves are widely used. After asking a young man surnamed Zhu who is familiar with Yiqu state, I know that although middle earth has always referred to gourong and Guifang people as a family.
But their internal division is fierce. Those gunrong people only claim to be people of a tribe, not gunrong people. They fight, enslave and squeeze each other.
The Yiqu state takes the Yiqu tribe as its ruler. The Yiqu tribe itself is composed of six tribes, namely penglu, Yuzhi, quangao, Yang Jue, Guiji and quyan. The fengquangao family in each department is the royal family. The six tribes have 20000 people who control the strings and hundreds of thousands of Ding people. They are the big family of the powerful side of the ghost dog Rongge tribe.
In addition to these six tribes, there are many small tribes in Yiqu country. Some are descendants of the Zhun tribe that invaded the Zhou Dynasty, some are remnants of other ghost tribes, some are separated tribes from the six tribes, and some are disorderly growing gunrong tribes. In fact, Yiqu tribe does not have any fixed territory, except for several big cities built in China, The six departments are stationed outside the place with the most abundant water and grass. Other territories are where the people controlling the strings of Yiqu reach. The four tribes pay tribute is the territory of Yiqu.
Therefore, the people of Yiqu do not regard those gunrong tribes as their people, but always guard against, suppress and plunder their population as slaves, plunder their wealth and livestock. The three evils of Yiqu are not so much disasters as the deliberate indulgence of the six departments of Yiqu.
On the way to Yiqu City, the caravan met six nobles several times. They took their warriors out to rob slaves, and six wizards deliberately ordered those small tribes to sacrifice children in case the witches sacrificed blood to witchcraft and weakened their population potential. However, Chen ang naturally would not understand such humane survival competition.
If someone adheres to the moral ethics of Dongsheng China, he will naturally think that such cruelty to the population and bloody killing are heinous. This is to replace the heart of heaven with his own heart. In the civilized environment like the dog army ghost side, there will be many conflicts and even make jokes. Chen ang will not fall into such a rut from the perspective of civilized survival and development.
The huge caravan has also been attacked by six nobles twice. Once, Zhu DAHAO came forward and gave up some goods to withdraw the nobleman. Another time, both sides started to fight. The old Qin caravan was really tough. Everyone dared to rush and kill with armor and arrows. Chen ang saw that the old and weak women and children in the caravan were protected in the formation, and dared to shoot dog Rong with a strong bow.
Chen ang was also impressed by this Chinese martial style. He went to the battle and shot the leading dog Rong man with three arrows.
The miscellaneous husks who followed the caravan didn't feel the sorrow of the rabbit's death. Instead, they were the most proud to rush to kill. Seeing that they often took advantage of the caravan's rest to rob and steal the surrounding small tribes, they knew that when the caravan was doing business on weekdays, they didn't necessarily believe in moral gentlemen of fair trade. If Zhu DAHAO didn't have a ”big business” to do, they didn't want to cause twists and turns, Maybe he will also turn into a horse bandit and rob several small tribes.
Approaching the winter of the ninth century, the caravan finally arrived at Yiqu city. Zhu DAHAO's merchant had a good way here and didn't know how to deal with it. He let the quangao tribe stationed in Yiqu city have no doubt and took them to the nearby urn city outside the city. Chen ang understood. Looking at the style of the caravan, he knew that it was really not easy for countries to do business at this time.
If the people of Yiqu dare to take them into the city unprepared, maybe one day Zhu DAHAO merchants will look for an opportunity to burn down Yiqu City, rob money and return. This is not the people of Yiqu who worry about the sky, but such deeds. There have been a lot of them since ancient times. The Chinese in central Turkey have erased the disgraceful things they have done from history, but there are Trojans in the West, As a state of Greece, it was recorded in his own epic that when Troy's envoys and caravans went to Sparta for trade, they saw the emptiness of defense in Sparta City, and took the opportunity to rob Helen, the queen of Sparta.
Later generations falsely reported that Helen's beauty was amazing and attracted Trojans to rob her. It can be seen that the name of planting beauty is a disaster in all countries, which is a plot loved by the people.
