Kublai Khan, the last Khan of the Mongolian tribe, the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongolian title "Xue Chan Khan".
Kublai Khan was the most promising of Genghis Khan's children and grandchildren. It was under his leadership that the Mongolian cavalry destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and established the Yuan Dynasty.
When he was young, Kublai liked to meet people from the Central Plains. A large number of literati and lobbyists, mainly Han nationality, gathered in his palace, and they became Kublai’s staff.
At that time, the Southern Song dynasty persisted for decades under the attack of the Mongolian army and did not fall. The two sides were in constant wars. The tenacity of the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty made the Mongolian cavalry who conquered most of Europe a headache.
Later, the Mongolian noble ministers came up with a "trick": they planned to detour to conquer Baiyue in the southwest and cut off the back of the Southern Song Dynasty. Then, Dali in the south sent an army to attack the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty. The north-south attack made it impossible to pay attention to each other, destroying the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and eventually unifying the Central Plains.
In 1253, Kublai Khan was ordered by the Great Khan Mengge to join forces with General Wu Liang to lead a 100,000 army, and divide his troops into three routes to conquer Baiyue.
Kublai Khan led the Central Route Army and crossed the Dadu River and arrived at the Jinsha River in October. Facing the turbulent river, Kublai ordered the soldiers to kill cattle and sheep, plugged the back door, and blown them to inflate for the purpose of crossing the river. .
After successfully crossing the river, the Mongol army arrived in Lijiang, Yunnan today, and eventually defeated the Dali defenders. King Duan Xingzhi surrendered. The Dali dynasty, which had existed for more than 160 years in history, was thus destroyed, and the Yunnan region was merged into the territory of Mongolia.
In Kunming Daguanlou, there is a vice-long couplet. There is a poem that reads "Song swings a jade axe, Yuan crosses the leather bag. Wei Lie has worked hard to move the mountain." The "Yuan cross leather bag" mentioned in it refers to the sudden change. The incident of Bilie crossing the river.
Speaking of this, Zi Yang pointed to the two small seals on the mural: "If I read correctly, these two words are "Baiyue". "Baiyue" refers to the pre-Qin period from the Central Plains Huaxia tribe to the many tribes in the south of the Yangtze River. The general term includes today’s Dali.
The Qin and Han Village where we are located in ancient times was also the land of Baiyue. Presumably, Qin Min, who recorded these histories, still followed the ancestors' name for the southwest and other places. "
After listening to Zi Yang's introduction, Lao Wang said repeatedly, "I can't tell, Lao Li, when did you read so many books? You even know about this kind of thing."
Zi Yang was secretly ashamed. If it weren't for studying these twelve star maps, he wouldn't have bothered to understand these uncommon histories.
"I still have a question. Don’t they all say that the Mongolian cavalry is cruel and cruel? Every time a place is conquered, the city will be slaughtered. Then why the Mongolian soldiers come to Qinhan Village not only not to kill, but also to get along with the local people? Look, these two People from different tribes are holding hands, I'm not mistaken about this, right?" Lao Wang pointed to the figure on the mural and said.
"Idiot, look at history in a comprehensive, not selective memory. It is true that the Mongolian cavalry likes to slaughter the city, but it has changed a lot during the Kublai Khan period. This kid doesn't know if it was influenced by his grandfather and started to reuse it. Han people, there were a large number of Han people serving the Mongolian nobles at that time—of course, these people were also called traitors, but these traitors were not useless. For example, Kublai Khan adopted a suggestion called Yao Shu, which changed the past Mongolian army’s vice habit of massacre. , Issued an order to stop killing.
The most important thing is that the purpose of this Xue Xue army who came to Qinhan Village was not to conquer, but to find dragon veins. Presumably Kublai also inherited Genghis Khan's will, and was fascinated by Feng Shui and Qi. "
Lao Wang asked suspiciously: "So, the cowardly Xue army who came to Qinhan Village, like the iron-clad zombie that appeared in Tibet, was also for the purpose of building a tomb?"
Zi Yang was non-committal about this statement, pointing to the mural and said: "Look at this picture again. These Qi Xue Jun and the descendants of Qin Bing dug a tunnel in the tiankeng, cut the wood on the mountain and transported it through the tunnel to the mountainside to build a palace. This way. The project required a lot of manpower. Judging from the content recorded on the mural, Xue Jun and Qin Min worked together to complete this huge project."
Su Rui said: "These Qin Min cooperated with Yu Xuejun, it is likely that the two sides reached some kind of agreement."
Zi Yang nodded, "History is really evil. After Kublai Khan killed Dali in 1254, Great Khan Mengge died strangely in Sichuan in 1259, Kublai Khan became the throne in 1260, and Kublai Khan changed his country name to Dayuan in 1271. , Kublai Khan became the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.
Ironically, the word'Yuan' in the Yuan Dynasty is taken from the'Zhi Zai Kun Yuan' in the Book of Changes. I think Kublai’s love for the Han culture is so reluctant to say that he was assimilated, and it would be more appropriate to say that it was the Han who helped him win the country. "
Su Rui looked up at the palace hidden in darkness in the distance, and muttered: "All this happened after this palace was built."
"I understand, this palace was built here with great effort to fix the dragon veins!" Old Wang touched his chin thoughtfully, and suddenly his eyes lit up when he said this: "Since this place is so important There must be a lot of treasures hidden in it, shall we hurry up?"
Zi Yang swept the stone wall with the light, and said with a sad face: "There is still a long part of this mural. I think the following are what we should be worried about. Look here, in the construction of the palace, Xue Jun was timid. They have also fought against these winged monsters in the sinkhole—they even captured some monsters alive."
Zi Yang pointed to a mural on which were several Xue Jun holding bows and arrows, aiming at an iron cage. Inside the cage was a monster with wings. A man dressed as Qin Min was stab at it with an iron weapon.
"It's weird, are these Qi Xue Jun really so powerful? The flying dragon that even Qin Jun couldn't beat was so cleaned up by them?" Old Wang squatted in front of the mural, thinking hard.
"Not necessarily. In the era of cold weapons, the evolution of weapons was relatively slow. Although there was a difference of more than a thousand years, the difference in force value has not been widened too much. Moreover, Xue Jun is fighting in a cave. Their long bows and arrows are fast. It also didn't work.
The reason why they can defeat the monsters is because there are experts in Xue Jun-look at these pictures. "
Zi Yang walked along the mural with Su Rui and Lao Wang’s 31 novel app download address: “Here, here, and here, do you see a strange person in the crowd? His dress and manners are similar to those of Qin’s surroundings. Min and Yu Xuejun are different."
Su Rui observed carefully and said: "Hair hair in a bun, wearing a Taoist robe-is this..."
Zi Yang nodded, "Yes, this is a Taoist priest—probably the heir of Changchun Ziqiu Chuji. In the scenes of fighting monsters and building palaces, this character appeared many times. Look at his portrait again. Lifting up gently, or with his back behind, shows that his status is very high, and his identity should be equivalent to the commander-in-chief and chief designer."
Old Wang scratched his head and said, "I'm going. I've also noticed this person. At first, I thought he was a busy idler. Others were working and fighting, and he was standing there blindly."
"This Taoist priest is definitely not simple. You see that he not only subdued Qin Min, defeated monsters, and built a palace, but he also set up institutions here!"
Zi Yang gestured with excitement on the mural: "Look here, the tiankeng was originally without water. After they built the palace, the Taoist priests instructed them to open two more river channels and divert water into the tiankeng. It took tens of meters. The deep water seals up here, forming a natural barrier.
In order to maintain the water level, they even opened a few water channels underground.
There are also these monsters, they did not kill after they were captured alive, but were sealed under water after being tamed. There were already secret tunnels under the tiankeng. After Yu Xue Jun and Qin Min remodeled this place, it became a huge underground water tomb, and the monsters enclosed in the ground became the tomb beasts—see the mark under the tiankeng. ? This should be a mechanism that allows the tomb beasts in and out of the town, but it was later destroyed by Sharma and the others. "
At this time, they had reached the end of the mural, with only a few pictures left in front of them.
Lao Wang pointed to the pattern above and said: "Since this underwater palace is so important, why not kill all the Qin Min who built the palace and keep it a secret? Isn't the ancient emperor who built tombs like this?"
The picture above is a picture of Yu Xuejun leaving Qin Min. On the screen, Qin Min stopped and watched in the direction of Yu Xuejun's departure, and he seemed to have a reluctant look.
Zi Yang sighed and said, "If your village has been harassed by monsters for thousands of years, in order to survive, you have to sacrifice virgins every year and give half of the prey you harvested to the monsters. One day, suddenly there is one. Crowds came to the village, fought off the monsters for you, and banned the curse that has plagued the villagers for thousands of years. I think you will be grateful to them too. Maybe in order to repay your kindness, you vowed to protect this place for them until the sky is old. Unswervingly..."
Lao Wang shook his head again and again and said, "It's OK, don't say anything, I got your point."
Zi Yang did not mean to shut up: "More importantly, even if someone knows that there is a palace below, what can be done? Who can hold a breath to a depth of more than 70 meters, and then go through a few hundred meters. Where's the waterway?"
"I, we can!" Old Wang pointed to his nose without embarrassment. "Aren't we here? After a long time, can I go digging for treasures?"
Zi Yang was irritated for a while: "Don't you, you idiot don't have ears? Didn't you hear when I said the three words tomb beast? How did Professor Zhang and their prospecting team disappear last year? Forgot?"
Lao Wang opened his eyes and said, "Where is the tomb-suppressing beast? Haven't you seen it yet? Let's talk about it. We have gone through so many ordeals, but once did we not retreat from the whole body! Soldiers will stop the beast from coming to the earth. Cover up! Our guns and knives are not furnishings either."
Lao Wang patted the dogleg scimitar on his waist, holding the Beretta M92 and gestured, "It's hard to say how to be in the water, but now that I'm on the shore, there is nothing I am afraid of, Lao Wang!"
After speaking, Old Wang ignored Zi Yang and Su Rui and walked straight to the palace.
Su Rui looked at Zi Yang, shrugged, and quickly followed.
Zi Yang had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind. He vaguely felt that this wonderful palace was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Judging from all the signs, the Taoist in the murals possesses magical abilities. Not only is he familiar with Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements Gossip, but he is also proficient in construction engineering, so he can build such a strange palace.
The Book of Changes, Eight Diagrams, Yin-Yang and Five Elements, these fantasy academics may not have much merit in the eyes of modern people, but they must not be underestimated. Perhaps their essence has been lost, and these stunts once played a huge role in the hands of the ancients.
The three people lined up in a row and proceeded cautiously. This palace is more magnificent than they thought. The closer you get, the more you can realize its magnificence. When they get to the front, they have to raise their heads and look up to see the palace. The top cornice.
Looking at the huge gate of the closed palace, Lao Wang swallowed and said: "It's here! I'm going to knock on the door!" After he raised his hands, he was about to beat the door.
"Wait a minute!" Zi Yang stopped Lao Wang suddenly.
"How to pull it?" Old Wang looked at Zi Yang dissatisfied.
"You smell, what is it?" Zi Yang frowned and sniffed.
Almost at the same time, Su Rui and Lao Wang also smelled a fishy smell, and this foul smell filled the surrounding air, becoming more and more intense.
