Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 73 The Last Romans
Zhu Wenkui was serious all day long, it was rare to see him with such an expression, and Guo Kang was also very happy.

"I don't think it is necessary." Zhu Rangna was not worried about this: "Why do you pretend to be a bloodline? Whether the bloodline is noble or not, the nobles claim that it was appointed by the heavenly father. But has the heavenly father really certified them?"

"If there is, then just declare that you have also been certified, isn't that enough? If not, is there any point in pretending?"

"Then if you analyze it this way..." Li Xuanying thought for a while, and then made a deduction: "Is it better to just call myself the Heavenly Father himself?"

"That's not impossible." Guo Kang muttered.

He looked at Jeanna, and suddenly thought of a possibility.While she and Li Xuanying were arguing about the possibility of going down to earth, Guo Kang walked to the side and tugged Zhu Wenkui.

"My son." He whispered, "Does your sister really believe in the Heavenly Father, or is it more in line with human nature because she was educated from a young age?"

"Human shooting? What is that? She doesn't know much about archery. Mr. Qi taught us archery before, but she didn't do very well." Zhu Wenkui replied confused.

"Uh...that's it." Guo Kang felt that it was inconvenient to ask too deep, so he just brushed it off.

"You are worried that the education she received is too chaotic." Zhu Wenkui continued to say: "I have thought about this problem too. I always feel that we have been away for a long time, and we are all being fooled. It is okay to only look at ourselves. But her appearance made me feel this change clearly."

"As time goes by, will our family gradually become like hers, and then gradually become a complete Frank?" He half asked himself, "I don't know what the result will be if this continues, nor will we become like her." Know if there is a way of redemption."

"I'm not opposed to letting her wield guns and sticks. The situation here is special. If she is like her mother, she just wants to be a lady at ease, and she may not even have the ability to protect herself in the future. But after this, I always feel that she is far away from her. The Han people in everyone’s impression are farther away. Is this a good thing?”

"I can't tell myself. And my father... well, my father probably doesn't think about it so much." He said halfway, scratching his head in embarrassment.

"I can only think of ways to ask her to go to school, read and write Chinese characters, and even read the Four Books and Five Classics with her husband. I also know that this is not what a woman should ask, and it has far exceeded the responsibilities they should bear. But Other than that, I really have no other choice."

"So, I'm also very interested in your thoughts." He said, and asked Guo Kang: "What do you think? How do you think that the Han people are Romans, and that the Mongols are also Romans, and you can continue to live for a long time? Do you maintain this point of view? To be honest, if it were in my sister's state, I would have thought that you had forgotten your identities long ago."

"Our situation here is quite special. I think..." Guo Kang thought for a while, and he happened to see Li Xuanying next to him: "Oh, yes, our state is actually like the Shatuo people back then."

"Shatuo people?" Zhu Wenkui was a little surprised.

"Yes, I heard from the Li family and his son." Guo Kang nodded.

"Their ancestors said they were Shatuo people, but they couldn't tell where they came from, and they weren't too taboo. Because the so-called Shatuo tribe was a small tribe living next to Tingzhou City, belonging to Chuyue. A branch of the tribe is not a well-known force; the ancestors of the Shatuo Li family, their surnames in the early years, also used the tribal names, and there are Shatuo and Zhu Xie, which makes people wonder if they are a family."

"Shatuo Jinshan, the ancestor in their genealogy, was named a military envoy because of his contribution to the conquest of Tie Le by following Xue Rengui. The family has a clearly recorded history, and it started from here."

"After Shatuo Jinshan passed away, he was buried in Longshouyuan outside Chang'an City. His son Shatuo Fuguo, daughter-in-law Ashina, etc. were also buried in Longshouyuan cemetery according to the etiquette after death. Therefore, his family is now The ancestral grave I recognized is in Guanzhong, not the hometown of Chuyue in Tingzhou."

"After the Anshi Rebellion, the connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions was severed. The Shatuo tribe in Tingzhou attached themselves to the Uyghurs in order to protect themselves. But Tubo was so powerful that the Uyghurs could not defeat them. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Shatuo tribe wanted to join Tubo."

"But the Tubo people treated their subordinates too harshly, and everyone couldn't stand him. The leader Zhu Xie Zhongzhong decided to take his people to the area controlled by the Tang Dynasty and escape from the Tubo people. On the way of migration, the tribe was chased and killed by the Tubo people. There were many battles. Most of the people below Zhu Xiezhong died in battle, and in the tribe of more than 3 people, less than 1 people fled to Lingzhou in the end."

"Before this, Shatuo was a tribe attached to the Tang Dynasty. Compared with other tribes, it was actually considered loyal, but at the critical moment of life and death, they would still give priority to their own tribe, which caused wavering."

"And after that, the nature of the Shatuo people has changed." Guo Kang reminded: "Have you paid attention to this number? The Shatuo people at that time were less than [-], which met the requirements of the Tang Dynasty and were able to fight. , already only a few hundred. But after that, it didn't take long for 'Shatuo' to expand into a powerful military group."

"There probably aren't many people from Shatuo here." Zhu Wenkui understood what he meant.

"Yes. In this 'Shatuo Group', there are very few real Shatuo people. Most of the so-called Shatuo people later were local Fan and Han residents absorbed after being resettled by the Tang Dynasty."

"Moreover, unlike other naturally formed Jimi tribes, the new Shatuo 'tribe' was rebuilt in the form of a Tang Dynasty vassal town, so the organization is of course more like a border town. The people in this group come from very mixed sources , and like the various military towns of the Five Dynasties, they have been inherited by adopted sons for a long time, so that ratification of bloodlines may not make much sense.”

"After the establishment of the Later Tang Dynasty, the first emperor, Li Cunxu, was from Shatuo."

"The second emperor, Li Siyuan, was Li Keyong's adopted son and Li Cunxu's brother-in-law. We don't even know his real surname or origin. We only know that his nickname was 'Miaojilie' back then, and he was probably an unknown barbarian."

"The last emperor, Li Congke, was the adopted son of Li Siyuan. His original surname was Wang, and his nickname was '23'. He was probably a Han Chinese, but this name...should also be a person of low birth."

"So you see, the relationship between Shatuo and Han is very complicated. I'm not a historian. As far as I know, I don't even know if there is a clear identity boundary between the two."

"So I think that at this point, it may not be as simple as 'sinicization'. And the relationship between the Han people and the Romans here is actually the same-even going a step further."

"What is this statement?" Zhu Wenkui asked.

"In fact, there are no real 'Romans' here. The identity of this group is constantly declining, and it is slowly disappearing from all over the world. Without us, Rome may soon become a historical term." Guo Kang replied.

"I dare say that if one day there is only one Roman left in the world, then he must also be a Han Chinese." He said firmly.

　Suddenly found that Nurhachi had already reached the top 20, so he should be able to open the wild boar pen soon.

　　In addition, I found that there are more points, it seems that the platform can hold events and put character cards.It is estimated that they were all little brothers and sisters before. When designing this system, I did not expect that there would be 233 wild boars on the list.
