Chapter 33 Chapter 167 Reconstruction of the Kingdom of Heaven

After a burst of spring rain, a rainbow hangs in the sky. A group of indigenous people appeared in the field and began to tidy up the ridges, pile up the ridges, weed with simple wooden hoes, sow seeds and fertilize. If the aborigines of other tribes pass by here, they will be surprised to find that the behavior of the people here is quite different from before. Because the people here used to plant crops, they used to poke small holes in the wet grass with wooden sticks, and then threw the seeds of corn kernels, peas, zucchini and other plants into it, without weeding or tidying up. Out of the neat fields.

At the same time, they have never seen these hoes and other working tools, and they are really novel things.If they stop for a while, they will find more new and strange things. People here have oxen and horses but don't know how to use them to carry things. Now they will find that people here use oxen and horses to carry things.They don't know how to make carts to haul heavy loads, and use wheels to save energy. Now they will find that there are many wooden carts with one wheel, two wheels, and even four wheels. This was taught to these local natives by the envoys of the kingdom of heaven, and the envoys of the kingdom of heaven also gave them a unified name, calling them Han people.

The messenger of the kingdom of heaven is naturally Xia Xun and his party. Xia Xun's fleet landed in Alaska, which is not called Alaska now, but Wangming Island.The name was not chosen by Xie Jin, but Xiaodi.Xia Xun thought it was meaningful, so he asked the stonemason to erect a stone tablet there, officially naming Wang Wangming. At the same time, he also officially changed his name back to Xia Xun. Although other family members except Xiaodi and Ziqi didn't understand why he changed his name, he did it anyway. The climate in Wangming is very cold, and the temperature is not high in summer, let alone in winter. At the same time, it is too close to Daming. It's no secret that the land is huge and boundless.

In order to prevent some people from leaving their homeland and looking for an opportunity to escape back, Xia Xun could only lead them to continue going deeper for safety. After nearly a month of trekking, they landed in the middle of this new continent. He believed that under the circumstances of those who did not understand the geography of the world and had not left any charts along the way, unless the crew of the entire ship rebelled, relying on their experience and memory, or it was possible to escape, they would not be able to leave again. This is identified as a settlement. During the process of berthing, landing, and resting all the way, the crew found that they were not alone in this new continent. There were already residents here, and these residents were the local aborigines who were called Indians by later generations.

What they are most worried about is being abandoned outside the whole world, and there have been residents here long ago, and they are also black-haired and yellow-skinned. This discovery gradually calmed down their anxiety. After several months of getting along, Xie Jin discovered excitedly: the people here are likely to be descendants of Yan and Huang just like himself, and they should be survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It was some words and knowledge of the local natives that initially aroused Xie Jin's suspicion. Along the way, he found that some local natives called children dolls, and the natives in some places pronounced you, me, and him as Ning, Nei, and Ning. Yi called the river a river and the boat a sampan, and the boy with a bun was the same as the children in the Central Plains.

When they settled down and got in touch with this new world in more detail, he discovered many ancient stone inscriptions. The characters on them were very similar to the oracle bone inscriptions he had studied a little, and some characters were even identical. Not long after that, Xia Xun and the others built houses and castles in the local area, and unearthed sixteen emerald statues from the ground. The faces of these statues were no different from those of the Han people, and the heads were deliberately carved high and long. Xie Jin knew that this style of sculpture was a custom advocated by people in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and where they found the emerald statues, they also found six pieces of jade kui, which were engraved with handwriting similar to Shang Yin oracle bone inscriptions.

After the castle was built here, Xie Jin was ordered to lead people to explore the surrounding area, and had a close relationship with a tribe called Maya. He discovered that the priests of the Mayan tribe would use acupuncture to treat diseases. It is said that there is only bamboo in Fujian, Guangdong, China (a kind of bamboo in the wilderness of the south, hundreds of feet high, three feet six feet in circumference, and eight or nine inches thick. It can be used to build boats.), I have not heard of it in This plant has existed in other parts of the world. They gradually got acquainted with and understood the local aborigines. About a year later, Xie Jin understood their language a little. The tribal chief here told him that Tizhu was a kind of wound medicine inherited from their ancestors. It was passed down by King Xi.

He also said that according to their old legends, their ancestors came from the kingdom of heaven, and their ancestors took a bamboo boat from the kingdom of heaven to come to this place along the pontoon bridge of the sky, and stayed here ever since. Xie Jin immediately asked the Maya to take him to meet the old priest in the tribe. The old priest received him friendly and told him the story of King Houxi in the ancient legend. The old priest told him that in their clan, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Two thousand five or six hundred years ago, their ancestors had a total of twenty-five clans. a kingdom.Among them, the most powerful is their king: King Houxi.

King Hou Xi was brave and powerful, but also cruel. He castrated the men who had been recruited into the palace to serve him, and burned the subjects who offended him.One year, a small kingdom called Risheng Kingdom was destroyed by a severe earthquake. The people of Risheng Kingdom defected to King Houxi, but King Houxi did not help them, but turned them into his slaves. The refugees were very sad. After hearing about it, a doctor of the Houxi tribe who lived on the mountain rushed to the palace and sang to King Houxi: "The twenty-five tribes are brothers. Follow Houxi to cross the floating bridge island in the sky. The journey is difficult and dangerous." Forget, distribute wheat and millet to all the folks, brothers, don’t insult brothers, the kingdom of heaven will be rebuilt, winter will be restored, and spring will be restored

The people of Hou Xiguo burst into tears when they heard this song. After hearing this song, King Houxi was distraught. He pleaded guilty to his subjects with tears, freed the slaves, and helped them rebuild their kingdom with his belongings. From then on, There are few tribes that rely on the strong to bully the weak. They come from the same place, and they are all brothers and sisters. The old priest also sang the ancient song at the invitation of Xie Jin. Few of them even remembered the pronunciation of the ancient language. Naturally, Xie Jin didn't understand it even more, but he noticed that the desolate and ancient ballad In , each line of the lyrics has one word and one sound, but the languages ​​of other ethnic groups that Xie Jin knows rarely have this feature.

King Hou Xi, King Hou Xi, the twenty-five clans are brothers, follow Hou Xi to cross the floating bridge island Xie Jin, who is well-known and knowledgeable, suddenly remembered an ancient secret: In the past, when King Wu defeated Zhou, King Zhou sent an upright general You Houxi to attack Dongyi. The country was empty, King Wu of Zhou took the opportunity to raise an army, and defeated Zhou in one battle. King Zhou set himself on fire and died, and the Shang Dynasty fell.Afterwards, the general Youhouxi of the Shang Dynasty and more than 100,000 troops of the Linfang, Renfang, Hufang and other tribes loyal to the Shang Dynasty suddenly disappeared, which became an eternal mystery. Could it be Chinese-style titles, hair styles, oracle-bone inscription-style stone carvings, jade kui, sculptures from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, acupuncture and TCM folk remedies for healing wounds, and the King Hou Xi they kept talking about, what else? Sky Pontoon Bridge When they came all the way, when they crossed the strait, wasn't there a small island not far away? Could it be that King Houxi is Youhouxi?Are these natives the descendants of the missing Yin Shang soldiers? Xie Jin immediately told Xia Xun this guess, Xia Xun didn't care whether the textual research was accurate or not, for him, this textual research would help them integrate better with the locals, and that was enough, so Xia Xun Tell these local aborigines that they came from the kingdom of heaven through the pontoon bridge of heaven. Not only did he tell the Maya and other Indian tribes, but he also told the tens of thousands of people he brought with him that they were of the same ancestors, which was conducive to their friendly relationship. After learning that these powerful and more civilized and advanced visitors from afar came from their ancestral country, the local indigenous tribes were very happy. They were kind and immediately accepted these relatives from the distant hometown. There is even a kind of awe in their kindness to them. They respect their ancestors very much, and these visitors came from the country of their ancestors. Psychologically, they feel that these visitors are higher than themselves in seniority, and they are like a family in blood. They affectionately call these visitors Those who come from heaven are ancestors. Since then, Xia Xun and his people have settled here. By teaching the local people more advanced production methods, they have won the respect and conviction of many Indian tribes in the surrounding area. Under the amazed eyes of the local aborigines, when they burned mud and turned it into hard stones, and built houses and tall castles, they were already recognized as the king's tribe by all the surrounding tribes. The new castle is called Hawaii.This Hawaii is not the island in the eastern part of the Americas. The name of the castle was chosen by Xia Xun. Others thought that this castle meant that he wanted to rule the islands, but they didn't know that it was just Xia Xun's bad taste. After arriving here , He is indeed a lot more frank, free and unrestrained. Xia Xun found that in this land, there are many plants that have never been seen anywhere else. There are more edible plants here than in all other places in the world combined. Rich resources, respected status, plus many unwed soldiers were able to marry a healthy, sexy, lively and lovely Indian girl here, and their hearts finally stayed here. Xia Xun's ship intentionally brought talents from various fields, including scribes, doctors, stonemasons, blacksmiths, tailors, sailors, and farmers. They quarried stone, smelted iron, and made gunpowder here. More and more local aborigines knew of their existence, and they sent people to marry the Nazu people to learn their advanced civilization. The prestige of these ancestors is getting higher and higher, and they seem to be the masters of this new world. It's another spring. Xia Xun stood on the beach holding his second son, Yang Huaizhi. Yang Huaizhi asked childishly: Dad, why is the earth round? Xia Xun smiled and said: "Probably, it is God's intention to let those who are lost or lost can find their starting point again." Then if we swim from here, can we go back to our hometown? Xia Xun was amused by his son's childish words: Yes, swimming from here is our hometown.When the baby grows up, build a big boat, get on the boat and sit on it when you are tired from swimming, and keep going. The place where the sunset is, is our hometown. oh Yang Huaizhi thought for a while with his fingers in his mouth, turned around and pointed in another direction, and said: Sister Yuerong said that when she was in her hometown, she thought the sun rose from the sea here, but when we got here, the sun still rose. In the distant sea.If we go there, will we find the sun? Yue Rong is the youngest daughter of Ximen Qing and Nan Feifei, and she always plays with the Yang family's children. Xia Xun said: No, if you want to find the sun, you have to build a ship that can fly.However, if we go that way, we will go to a place called Europe. Dad has been there before. Going there is much closer than going this way. When you grow up, you can go there to play. Is it fun there? Of course it's fun, not only can you see a lot of blond and blue-eyed Westerners there, but you can also see Easterners like us.Son, that is the route opened by your father. When you meet them, you don't need to bother to learn their language, because what we speak must be their lingua franca. Haha, as soon as I talk about it, Dad is happy, son, do you know what Dad is happy about? Xia Xun asked happily. Many of his statements were often laughed at by his wives as nonsense, and only his sons and daughters believed what his father said.Although he is now recognized as the tribal leader by all the tribes near and far, it is hard to find a bosom friend.These words can only be chatted with this ignorant son. I don't know, what is daddy happy about? Xia Xun patted his slippery buttocks, and said with a smile: Dad is happy that the descendants of our Han people no longer need to learn that stupid English. It's just a general translation, isn't it just a translation?One Siyi restaurant is not enough, ten must be enough!Does everyone need to be a translator?Give up everything!his grandma's Yang Huaizhi didn't know why, so he smiled and imitated his father: Fuck his grandma! Xia Xun laughed loudly: Yes!To his grandma's.Why?its not right!Dad can say, you can't say that, if you learn bad language, see if your mother hears it and doesn't beat you.Well, in the future, we will ask all the foreign devils to learn Chinese with us. If they can't pass the fourth level, they want to get a diploma, but there is no way! Yang Huaizhi waved his small fist and said: There is no way! Xia Xun said enthusiastically: Even if he studies the history of his own country, he won't be given a job title if he doesn't understand Chinese!Telling their children to spend most of their academic energy on learning Chinese, hahaha, it's so cool to think about it! Yang Huaizhi danced in Xia Xun's arms, imitating his father's cry: "It's so cool!" Xu Hu took a few people and found Xia Xun who was dreaming happily by the sea.Seeing him chatting happily with his son, he couldn't help laughing and asked: Wenxuan, what are you talking about so happily? Xia Xun turned her head and saw it was him, so she put down her son, patted his little butt and said, "Go, go play with my brother." Yang Huaizhi spread his legs and ran towards his elder brother. On the shallow beach not far away, a few half-grown children of the Yang family were playing with some Indian children to catch fish, and a lot of sand castles were piled up on the bank. . In a small bay, the Indians abandoned their canoes. With the help of their ancestors in heaven, they learned to build sailboats. Several small sailboats made by themselves are making their first attempt to go to sea. Brother Xu is back. Well, He Tianyang is taking care of the iron mine, so I came back, and I have only been away for a month. I think not only a medical center has been built in the city, but even a college is about to be built. Yeah, little kids can't learn basic life skills.Here, literacy and reading is something only priests do, we can't do this.Although the civilization of the Yin and Shang Dynasties is not as good as it is now, if it weren’t for the fact that there were not many educated people in the army when they went east, and they only cared about food and clothing when they arrived here, they still didn’t pay attention to culture, and it wouldn’t be the opposite. The ancestors will fall behind.A lesson from the past, our descendants must be more civilized and advanced, and we must not degenerate into savages. Well, you are still looking ahead! Xu Hu and Xia Xun walked side by side, narrating the changes over the past year, and said with emotion: We have been here for a year, and wherever our reputation has gone, all the tribes have followed suit. Think of our castle as a tribe? Xia Xun glanced at him, smiled and said: Oh, what do you think? Xu Hu said slowly: Don't you think we can build a country of our own here? Xia Xun walked slowly along the beach with her hands behind her back, thinking about it without saying a word. Xu Hu chased after him, and said: In your words, the people here, because the land here is so vast and rich, they can dig a hole in the grass and plant seeds without worrying about food. , so they have been little development.They are too backward, and we don't need to fire a single shot to bring them back. What's more, they both worship and believe in our ancestors. As long as we decide to establish a country, they will definitely follow suit.Bringing them under rule is also a good thing for them, you don't want them to live like savages all the time, do you? Xia Xun smiled, leaned over and grabbed a handful of golden sand, squeezed it, and twisted it slowly, letting the yellow sand flow down like an hourglass, and said slowly: Actually, I have thought about this question too, I We have even thought of the name of our new country. oh? Xu Hu happily said: So you also have this plan, what name do you plan to give our country? Xia Xun patted the sand on his hands, stood facing the sea with his hands behind his back, and said: Xia Chao!Our country is called Daxia!How about it? There was a blazing light in Xu Hu's eyes: "Good name!"Xia, Shang and Zhou, we are going to open up a new China here!At the same time, you also changed your surname to Xia, hehe, this is not only the name of the country, but also the surname of the country. Once the Great Xia is established, you will be the first emperor of the Great Xia!The First Emperor of this overseas world! Xia Xun smiled without saying a word. He doesn't want to be an emperor, he wants to establish a federal state with separation of powers here, and the head of state is elected every few years.It is far more suitable for all peoples than monarchy. For his descendants, if their ancestors created such a high starting point for them and they still have nothing to achieve, then they can eat as much rice as they can make. No matter how good the education is, it can't guarantee that the future generations will be wise, and the absolute power, once it meets a fatuous monarch, will bring irreversible consequences to the country, and what will be brought to his children and grandchildren will be the death of their families. disaster. His regime is envisaged across the sea, at least in this era, it is impossible without that kind of foundation.This is not the case here. There were originally tribes here, and the tribal chiefs were not hereditary.Of the tens of thousands of them, the largest number are the soldiers and family members of the original Shuangyu Guard, and whether it is the chief of Shuangyu Island or the commander of Shuangyu Guard, it is also not hereditary. Starting from scratch does not need to break the old framework, but it is the easiest to build.However, he didn't know much about this aspect before, and his superficial understanding could not provide much help when he created some specific systems, and he still had many ideas to be perfected. At the same time, the initiative to build a nation had already started in the castle. Many people, especially his father-in-law, Mr. Peng, were very enthusiastic about advocating him as emperor. He also needed to communicate with these people. Of course, Xia Xun didn't know at this time that in the southernmost part of the continent, Ren Juying, who had no hope of returning to his country, had already proclaimed himself emperor, and his country was named Lantau. Another regime path.And the intersection between them is already a long time later. Seeing Xia Xun smiling without saying a word, Xu Hu sighed slightly, stepped back slowly, and put his hand on the handle of the knife. Xia Xun was still smiling looking at the sea, but the smile gradually became bitter: Isn't it good that we are like this?Must kill each other?Power can really make people crazy! Xu Hu was about to draw his sword, but he was startled when he heard the words, and he lost his voice: You know that I want to Xia Xun didn't answer his words, but asked sadly: Why can we only share adversity, but not prosperity? you are wrong! Xu Hu calmed down, and said in a deep voice: I, Xu Hu, am not a narrow-minded person. I can share adversity and prosperity together!But when I can have greater wealth, you can't block my way! Xia Xun's voice seemed a little ethereal under the beating of the waves. He seemed to be asking himself, and also Xu Hu: "I, am I blocking your way?" Xu Hu sneered and said, "Ask the question knowingly!"Do you think that you are still the Duke of Ming Dynasty?joke!Who is most powerful in this castle?It's you!Who has the greatest power?it's me!Among the tens of thousands of people, people from my Shuangyu account for the vast majority. Why can you take it for granted to be the emperor instead of me?Why is it that your descendants can dominate the generations, not me? Xia Xun said softly: Would you believe me if I said that I never wanted to be an emperor? Xu Hu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: Hahaha, of course I don't believe it, if you don't become emperor, who will do it?Are you willing to surrender to me?Hahaha Xia Xun shook his head and said: "It's not me, and it's not you. I think this country doesn't want an emperor!" Xu Hu was stunned for a long time, then he yelled strangely: Are you crazy?How can a country not have an emperor?Without an emperor, is it still a country?I want to be an emperor, but you don't want an emperor!Whether you are the emperor yourself or don't want anyone to be the emperor, you can't get along with me! Why do all the nations bow their knees to Ming Dynasty?Because whoever has the biggest fist is the boss!Here, I am the boss, not you!Xia Xun, you should wake up! Xia Xun said flatly: I think it's time for you to wake up!Xu Hu, don't be stubborn! Xu Hu took a step back vigilantly, and quickly looked around. The children were still playing on the beach, and in the bay on the other side, a few natives were laughing at how well their boat was navigating in the water. A mangrove forest is a stone's throw away, and there are only a few of his confidants around him. Xu Hu's courage grew stronger again, and he sneered, "Are you scaring me?"Hahaha, Xia Xun, I know that you have a great eloquence. I don't know how many people died because of your mouth, but I, Xu Hu, are not them!The soldiers in the entire Shuangyu are mine, what do you have?Apart from that dead old man of the Peng family and his nephews, Ximen Qing who likes to sneak into women's tents, and your Qianlong Qianlong people, what else do you have? Xia Xun said slowly: I still have Lilong! Xu Hu didn't hear clearly, so he took a step forward and asked: What did you say? Almost the moment he stepped forward, two gunshots rang out, and a big hole exploded in the back of Xu Hu's chest and waist, blood quickly stained his robe. Xu Hu staggered forward and turned back in disbelief. There were five guards in total, all brought by him.Two of the guns were smoking, while the other three, one of them had retreated behind the other two, with a knife in one hand and a pistol in their hands, pressed tightly against their waists and eyes. Xia Xun's voice reached his ears: Li Long!I still have Lilong!In the past, I had a flying dragon in my left hand and a Qianlong in my right hand. After the flying dragon was handed over, I grabbed another Lilong with my empty hand! Out of five confidantes, three of them belong to you, I'll die!I really should be damned!I am not wronged to die! Xu Hu staggered and smiled miserably: I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I used this method to kill Lei Xiaoxi back then. Today, I also followed in his footsteps!Xia Xun!You've already made up your mind to deal with me, haven't you? Xia Xun said quietly: Believe it or not, I'm just prepared.If you don't want to kill me, I promise, they are still your confidant guards, and they will never become Lilong! Xu Hu hissed: I don't believe it!I do not believe!You want to be emperor too!I hate! With a thud, Xu Hu fell heavily on the beach, the waves beat against his cheeks, his eyes were fixed, and he could not rest in peace. Xia Xun never looked back, he fell up and down, and the never-ending tide beat against his boots.Xia Xun said faintly: "Everyone who is not familiar with the world wants to be Huang Rong, escape from Peach Blossom Island, and experience all kinds of things in the world; every person who has experienced hardships wants to be Dongxie, facing the sea, and spring flowers blooming!"Xu Hu, you will never understand what I want! Many years later, when the historians of the Great Xia Kingdom were studying the history of their founding father and first president, Xia Xun, one of the subjects that made them worry was: Who is Huang Rong?Who is Dongxie?
