Chapter 786 Taipei Association
Danshui Port.
Today is extremely lively, Danshui Pier, boats go down the river, there are canoes, there are small paddle boats, one after another, the fans arrive at the dock, standing in front of this Danshui City, which they are not unfamiliar with, but the first time There was a feeling of panic and uneasiness.
It is 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.
Today, they all accepted the call of Duke Wei to come to the alliance.
If you don’t come, you can’t do it. Thousands of people hold the head of the chief of the Phoenix Eight Society to parade all over the place, and the soldiers approach each village to show off their might and hang 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 being slaves.
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 had to be polite.
Send gifts such as buckskin camphor.
Alliance.
Duke Wei convened a meeting of various chiefs. Although many people were also worried that the Han people had bad intentions, 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.
Dock.
The warships of the three major naval divisions are moored in the port, with white sails dotted, which is magnificent.
The Navy and Marine Corps practiced directly on the pier, with flags like forests and orders shaking the sky.
The dazzling bright light armor, the strong fish scale armor, and even the fine steel rope 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 military power in front of their village, the chiefs secretly rejoiced that they had come, but they were also more disturbed.
A row of heavily armed soldiers blocked the pier, and all the coming chiefs were led aside to register.
"Which tribe and community are you 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 who came this time, and how many people came..."
Under the shade of the tree, the officials in robes were there to ask questions, and there was an interpreter next to them.
Like checking 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 make sure it is exposed to the outside. Otherwise, if you don't have this card, you will be caught by the patrolling soldiers, or you will be sent to a slave camp."
At the construction site of Danshuigang New City, Qin Lang is leading people to worship the City God.
The new city has just been planned and construction has not officially started yet, but the Town God's Temple was built immediately.
City God Temple is a temple used to worship the God of City God, also known as City God.
City God originally refers to the city moat. The rules for offering sacrifices to the City God were formed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. People in the Tang Dynasty had a strong belief in the City God. While the imperial court vigorously cracked down on prostitution in various places, it also officially included the City God in the national rituals.
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 will act.
Therefore, the city 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 city gods made by them 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 ceremony became lively.
Qin Lang is the initiator of the Zhenguan Suppression of Buddha and Elimination of 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. First, build a Town God Temple and invite guardians 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 that he is the Heavenly King and the door god, it is enough to show off. In the end, he suggested that Zhang Zhenzhou be the city **** 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. Being an honest and honest official, he is deeply famous and popular.
Later, he entered the pilgrimage to worship General Zuo Wuhou, and after his death he was posthumously presented as the governor of Guangzhou.
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 China Sea, in the south of the city is the Temple of Nanhai Guanyin, and in the north of the city is the Hall of Heavenly Kings of Saburo and his son." Danshui County Magistrate 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, "Remember to build a Confucian Temple in the city, and build a solemn atmosphere. Not only must Yan Yuan be the ancestor to enjoy it, but also the twenty-two ancestral Confucians below Zuoqiu Ming should be selected to worship the 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 chiefs have arrived one after another." Ah Huang came to inform.
"How many came?"
For this meeting, 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 places are still out of reach for the time being, and even in the mountains, there is no way to contact them for the time being.
"About a hundred people came."
Qin Lang had some calculations in his mind, 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."
"Are there only a few?"
Cheng Chu was chewing betel nuts silently. He liked the betel nut produced on this island. When he first came into contact with it, he thought it was very exciting, 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. 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 there are good tea and wine to entertain.
The hall is very decorated in the style of Chang'an, the floor 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 sandals or bare feet, they always felt unworthy.
A chief asked 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 in the living room, each person has a small table with drinks and refreshments on it.
Looking at the 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 interpreter 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 the Fan people can understand.
It took a lot of drooling before the translation was finally completed.
The 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, this Duke of Wei is really a very distinguished nobleman.
Datang has a population of more than 50 million, with millions of 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 fleet of the empire's two-ocean navy...
"sit!"
Seeing the Fan Chiefs who prostrated themselves on the ground, each with their butts raised high, Qin Lang smiled slightly.
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.
Shandi fan, only a few fan clubs near Danshui Port came.
The chieftains are all about the same, with very dark skin, short hair and broken hair, and tattoos. In hot weather, many of them only wear short robes that only reach the thighs, revealing two strong black legs, and half of their chests. All open.
