That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 409 Talking about the Past and Present of the Grassland
Everywhere in the rivers and lakes, everywhere in the rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes in the world can roughly be divided into several major parts, namely Houjian, Northeast, Northwest, Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Southeast, Southern Xinjiang, Baozhu, Wei Kingdom and Grassland.

Houjian is the world of Xuanjiao, the northeast is the backyard of shepherds and Buddhism, there are no sects in the northwest, there is only an invincible army in the northwest, Jiangbei is now in conflict, Jiangnan is where Xu Beiyou is standing, southeast is the headquarters of Taoism, and south Xinjiang believes in witchcraft, and at this time is in a stalemate with the counter-insurgency army of the governor Wei Jin. Baozhu is the place where Buddhism originated, and has little to do with the Central Plains. As for Wei, since the overthrow of Jianzong, it has become the A pool of stagnant water at the feet of His Royal Highness King Wei.

As for the Grassland, there are two sects ranked in the top ranks. They are half enemies and half friends, and they have lived together for many years.

The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism. When there are foreign enemies, they will join forces to fight against each other. When there are no foreign enemies, they will fight each other.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is also a doctrinal dispute. One believes in the Great Sun Tathagata, and the other believes in Changshengtian. If they want to live in peace, they have to mention the real owner of the grassland, Mrs. Lin.

Lin's surname was not Lin at first, but an out-and-out prairie person. It was only in the early years of Dazheng that the surname was changed to Zhongyuan.

In the 20th year of Dazheng Mingwu, Emperor Taizu of Dazheng took advantage of the prestige of the new dynasty and dispatched the governor Feng Zhang, Fu Sheng, and Lan Canghai to lead an army of 20 out of the central capital to expedition to the grassland.

Feng Zhang's army detoured around Xiaoqiuling and surrounded Nahachu's headquarters. Nahachu was forced to surrender, causing the tribes in the grassland east of the Ulun River to lose their barriers. Wang and all Taiji had to escape to Biluo Lake.

In the 21st year of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Canghai led his army across Wusiyuan and attacked to the bank of Biluo Lake. He defeated the twelve guards of the Prairie Khan and forced the Prairie Khan to sign an alliance under the city. King of the North.

In the 22nd year of Mingwu, Fu Sheng established the Duoyan Duodu Mansion on the south side of the Ulun River, and at the same time moved some grassland tribes to Hanoi Prefecture in the northwest.

Since then, the grassland has been classified under the territory of the Dazheng Dynasty, and King Khan of the grassland has also changed his surname to Lin in the Central Plains.

It was only after Zheng Ting's power weakened and his troops continued to shrink, from Duoyan Dudufu to Wusiyuan, then abandoned Xiulong Grassland and Xiaoqiuling, and retreated all the way to Central Capital. Things.

However, the Grassland King Khan family has always passed down the Lin surname, and only the most distinguished direct descendants can inherit the Lin surname. The Lin Queen of Daqi was born in the Grassland Lin family.

It is worth mentioning that Fu Sheng, the governor of the capital, is the ancestor of Mr. Fu, and Lan Canghai is the ancestor of Lan Yu. Many dignitaries in Qi, including the Xiao family of the Tian family, actually enjoyed the wealth and honor of the two dynasties. .

During the reign of Dazheng Shenzong, the Khan King of the Grassland was named Lin Yuan, had a daughter named Yinping, and a nephew named Lin Han. At that time, Lin Yuan did not stand on his own as a khan, but was conferred the title of Zhenbei King by the Dazheng court. , her daughter Lin Yinping was crowned Princess Qingyue, and was accused of marrying Xiao Yu, the eldest son of An Guogong's mansion, as her son-in-law.

Xiao Yu, courtesy name Mingguang, was the Xiao Huang who later ruled the world, the Taizu Emperor of Daqi.

At that time, Xiao Yu was also miserable. To put it bluntly, he was the son-in-law of someone who wanted to "marry far away" to the grassland, and according to the customs of the grassland, the princess could "marry" multiple consorts, so the situation can be imagined.

But maybe it was God's will. On the way Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping returned to the grassland, Zhenbei Wang Linyuan died suddenly. The young princess and red lady took power and sent someone to intercept and kill his stepdaughter Lin Yinping halfway. Seeking refuge in the snow mountain coincided with the Biluohu Judgment Conference, where they met Qiu Ye who was still the head disciple of the Taoist sect, Gongsun Zhongmou, the head disciple of the Sword Sect, and Zhang Xueyao.

So Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao combined their swords and defeated Qiuye, Xiao Yu was hit by Chi Yu, and fell off the cliff with Qiuye, but the two fell into the burial place of the leader of Xuanjiao, and obtained the supreme secret code of Xuanjiao, Tianmo Policy.

When Lin Yinping saw her fiancé fall off the cliff innocently, she could imagine how the empress dowager, who would be in charge of politics from behind the curtain in the future, would be so angry that she angrily accused Gongsun Zhongmou and Zhang Xueyao.

As a result, Xiao Yu and Qiu Ye became acquainted, and Lin Yinping and Zhang Xueyao's Liang Zi were finally married.

Later, the fates of several people were different. Qiuye naturally stood on Xiaohuang's side, while Gongsun Zhongmou stood on the opposite side of Xiaohuang. After the battle of Dingding, Xiaohuang ruled the world, and Qiuye became Taoism is the head teacher, but Gongsun Zhongmou has become a bereaved dog.

When Emperor Xiao came to the throne, Lin Yinping, who had given birth to Xiao Xuan, was naturally the queen, so he could not inherit the throne of the Northern King of the Grassland Town, and there were still nearly a hundred Taijis on the Grassland. Xiao Huang then canonized Lin Han, the cousin of Empress Lin and nephew of the former king Lin Yuan, as the new King of Zhenbei.

The reason why Lin Han was able to become king was not only because he was the younger brother of Empress Lin, but also his military exploits should not be underestimated. The parties are Xiao Jin's party, Lan Yu's party, and Lin Han's party.

Among them, Xiao Jin was thoughtful and was the most guarded by Emperor Xiao, so she was the weakest among the three parties. Although Lan Yu was relied on by Emperor Xiao, she was an outsider after all, and she was slightly inferior to Lin Han who had her sister as her backer.

How reckless and reckless Lin Han was back then, you can tell a thing or two from just one incident.

Now everyone in the government and the public knows that the governor Wei Jinzheng personally led the army to fight against the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, but few people know that during the first southern expedition, Lin Han served as the seal officer of the Jiange camp, and he also led the army into southern Xinjiang to suppress The barbarians were killed so much that blood flowed like rivers and their bones were like mountains. Anyone who was taller than the wheel, no matter old or weak, women or children, was killed, so that Lin Han was dubbed General Shura.

Lin Han is not only ruthless to outsiders, but also merciless to his own people. Wei Jin had just emerged in the past, because he was repeatedly promoted by Emperor Xiao, he was assigned Lin Han's authority, but was assassinated by Lin Han's assassins, and almost lost his life. As a result, he left behind a hidden disease, which has not been cured so far.

The two sides who are now fighting in southern Xinjiang have all suffered from this prairie king, which can be seen from the methods of this prairie king.

Han Xuan once commented on Lin Han, only five words, deeply like your Majesty.

Although Lin Han is Xiao Huang's brother-in-law, his temperament is more like Xiao Huang's younger brother than Xiao Jin's, and his relationship with Xiao Huang is far higher than Xiao Jin's. He seized the power, but he was able to recover after a while. Even the matter of his assassination of Wei Jin, Xiao Huang didn't get too deep into it.

Although there must be many unknown considerations and trade-offs here, it can also be seen from the side that Lin Han holds a special position in Xiao Huang's mind.

After the world was settled, Lin Han had a strong foundation in the army, and he was invincible. Because of his wife's affection and brother-in-law's affection, and also taking into account the frequent repetitions of various tribes in the grassland, Xiao Huang did not kill him. , In the end, Lin Han was named the King of Zhenbei, and Yuan Zhen grassland.

It's hard to say how it is now, during the 30 years when Emperor Xiao was in charge of the world, Lin Han was indeed diligent in guarding the grassland, and did not cause any trouble.
