Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 112: Surname Decision! (seeking subscription)
heard.

Fusu's face showed a strange expression.

He was not surprised that the people of Qin and the merchants came from the same clan. After all, if there are truly famous people in the world, if they really count up, they can basically count the three emperors and five emperors. The totems of the merchants and the Qin people are indeed similar, and it is indeed very likely that they were in ancient times from the same clan.

He was surprised.

There may have been a matrilineal society for a period of time in ancient times.

Think about it for a while.

He also agrees with this statement.

Because some rumors that have been handed down earlier are indeed more women.

But times are different.

He was just a little surprised by the point of view.

Fu Su said: "According to what Mr. Ji said, the reason why the ancestors of the Qin people did their best to help merchants back then was not only the cruelty of Empress Xia, but also another factor, that is, the origin of Qin and merchants. After the Qin people helped merchants, the merchants reciprocated , will give Qin people more preferential treatment."

Speaking of which.

Fusu seemed to remember something.

He looked at Hu Hai slowly, his eyes thoughtful.

He remembered that Hu Hai said earlier that the ancestor Boyi was the son of Dayu who returned the position of Lord of the World to Qi.

What if it is not returned?

Does that mean that the Qin people were suppressed for hundreds of years?
With the strength of the Xia Dynasty, it is afraid that the people of Qin would have difficulty resisting, unless there is help from other forces.

Thinking of this.

Fusu already guessed Ji Heng's overtones.

Both Boyi and Qi followed Dayu to control the floods and believed in the same totem, so the relationship will not be too bad. After Xia Qi defeated the ancestor of the Qin people, Boyi, the Qin people would undoubtedly suffer a lot of suppression. At that time, Qi might help. This allowed the Qin people to continue, and when Shang Tang destroyed Xia, the Qin people should help with all their strength.

Ji Heng deliberately downplayed the beautification in Qin history.

Fusu sighed in his heart.

The records related to the period from Boyi to Shang are very brief, even vague. However, during the transition from Xia to Shang, Qin people would work so hard, and we can already see some clues. Horse, absolutely no family support.

Hu Hai nodded.

He didn't think about it that much.

His ancestor Boyi was too far away from him.

Even Zhongyu is too far away from them. If the people of Qin did not come to be nobles, these materials would have been lost long ago. Moreover, these materials are not original. There are two opinions on whether it is true.

Hu Hai said: "During the Shang Dynasty, the Qin tribe has always been the minister of the Shang."

"However, after King Wu of Zhou conquered Shang, the Qin people, together with the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, were demoted to slaves of the Zhou people."

"It's just that after King Wu of Zhou died of illness and King Cheng was young, the people of Qin joined forces with the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties to launch the Three Prison Rebellion, and then" Hu Hai said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "then they were suppressed by Duke Zhou .”

"The entire Qin tribe was almost wiped out."

"There are only a very small number of people left."

"In order to prevent the Qin people from rebelling again, Zhou Gongdan punished the Qin people by cutting off their surnames and exiling them to the west."

heard.

Ji Heng thought about it.

He also finally understood why the later generation Yingzheng would be called Zhaozheng, Qinzheng, and Yingzheng when he heard "jue surname jue sacrifice", because if the surname had not been determined by the Duke of Zhou, there would still be only one Qin people. The surname is the surname Ying.

The surname decision is to punish the Qin people for not being able to use the Ying surname that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

Therefore, it was subsequently sealed in Zhao, and there was also the Zhao family.

Sealed in Qinting, then there is the Qin family.

But Jue Sacrifice is even more ruthless, and the Qin people are not qualified to build ancestral temples to worship ancestors.

Completely cut off the inheritance of the Qin people.

Perhaps for future generations, extermination of surnames is not a big deal, but in the aristocratic era at that time, this measure was a devastating blow to the entire ethnic group.

Breaking the surname means that the people of the whole tribe will lose their sense of identity and become centrifugal. The cohesion of the whole tribe will be greatly reduced. Flee, and the whole group dies.

The Qin people, an ancient clan with an ancient heritage, were suddenly reduced to nomadic people.

Ji Heng sighed softly in his heart.

He actually heard a word a long time ago.

To destroy a nation, destroy its history first.

And this kind of practice has already started at least in the Zhou Dynasty, and may even be earlier.

As for the follow-up, it is very simple.

This small group of Qin people were sent to the frontier by Zhou Gong, and merged with the Zhongli people who had been ordered by merchants to resist Rongdi earlier. From then on, Qin people were forced to live in the gap between Rongdi and Zhou people Survive.

If it was an ordinary tribe that was excluded like this after being exterminated, it would probably have collapsed, integrated into other tribes, and disappeared.

But the Qin tribe did not.

Even if he has been completely reduced to a slave of the Zhou people, he has been ridiculed and discriminated against by the Eastern princes.

Also because of the military expansion of the Zhou Dynasty earlier, they were constantly driven to the west and borders, and had to compete with the more aggressive Rong and Di for an extremely limited living space, and suffered from displacement, but the Qin people did not just fall. , but has been struggling to survive.

But under King Mu of Zhou, the people of Qin finally got their chance.

Zaofu became the 'Royal'.

It still relies on the ancestral skills of the Qin people.

Drive.

However, King Zhou Mu traveled westward for a long time, and he forgot to return after enjoying himself, which led to the rebellion of King Xu Yan. The father assisted the emperor thousands of miles to save Zhou, made great achievements, and was rewarded to Zhao Cheng.

Since then.

The people of Qin regained their clan.

Zhao!
Finally, there is a suitable place to stand.

However, Zhaocheng is not big and cannot support all the Qin people. Therefore, except for the Dazong of Cepheus, the rest of the Xiaozong had to leave Zhaocheng and find another place to live, so most of the Qin people still live their lives. Semi-nomadic and semi-settled life, no fixed place.

During the period of King Zhou Xiao, the people of Qin ushered in a second turning point.

With the weakening of the royal family of Zhou, Rongdi continued to send troops to plunder, King Zhou Xiao decided to reorganize his military equipment, and one of the Qin people who had lived with nomads for hundreds of years fell into the eyes of King Zhou Xiao, Qin Feizi, but what King Zhou Xiao valued was Qin Feizi's horse breeding techniques.

After decades of filial piety for King Xiao of Zhou.

King Xiao of Zhou thought of his achievements and rewarded (Zhao) Feizi with a piece of land less than a hundred miles away.

With the promise of Emperor Zhou, Feizi built a city named Qinting.

"In the past, Bo Yi was Shun's master of livestock, and the livestock lived a lot."

"Therefore, there is soil, and the surname Ying is given."

"The present and future generations will also rest on my horse."

"I divide the land as a vassal."

Hu Hai read the words of King Zhou Xiao, and said with emotion: "When the ancestors of Qin Feizi led the Qin people to light candles in the Qin Pavilion and sacrifice to their ancestors, the Qin people have lived in the desolate western frontier since King Zhou Cheng. Dingsuo, I have been wandering alone for more than two hundred years, and it was from the ancestor of Qin Feizi that my Daqin finally officially resumed the surname Ying and the sacrifice of ancestors bestowed by Emperor Shun."

Ji Heng sighed.

Qin people are really tenacious enough.

It has been carried for more than 200 years. The extraordinary endurance of this endurance is really amazing.

And when Qin Feizi's lineage was awarded the Qin Pavilion.

This vein.

It is not reasonable to call it the Zhao family again.

In the past, the lineage of Cepheid was the Dazong, and the lineage of Qin Feizi was the Xiaozong.

And after Qin Feizi received the reward.

Qin Feizi's lineage inherited the surname Ying and sacrifice.

His lineage has directly changed from the Xiaozong of the Zhao family to the Dazong of the Ying surname.

Therefore, tracing back to the ancestors, the Zhao family can only be traced back to Elai's younger brother Ji Sheng, and the lineage of the Ying surname can be directly traced back to Elai. The lineage of the Qin people is now the real master, and also the one who has truly inherited the surname Ying. One pulse.

And this can also be seen from Liu Xiu and Liu Bei's self-proclaimed. Liu Xiu can claim to be the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the descendant of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bei must first call himself the queen of Zhongshan King Jing before he can call himself Xiao. The great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing must be counted from 'Bie Zi' first.

Among all the emperor's heirs, except for the successor son, they are all other sons.

Therefore, unless Liu Bei rebuilt the Han Dynasty, he could only trace the ancestors of the last separation.

In ancient times, men were called surnames and women were called surnames.

The surname is used to distinguish ethnic groups, while the surname is used to distinguish blood relationship.

Shi often comes from fiefdoms and official positions, so it also contains social and political meanings.

Zhou Li strictly stipulates that people with the same surname are not married.

Normally speaking, when Qin Feizi was conferred the title of Qin Ting, he should take Qin as his surname, but the Qin surname was preempted by other ethnic groups, so Qin Feizi's line still took Zhao as his surname and Ying as his surname.

When the first emperor ruled the world, he ordered that the surnames should not be distinguished.

The division of surnames has only begun to be downplayed.

When Hu Hai mentioned that 'Zhao' Feizi was awarded the title of Qin Ting, he didn't say anything more.

He hasn't read the rest of it yet.

And enough has been said for today.

He is still very satisfied with his performance.

For the past half month, he has not been idle, Zhao Gao has been forcing him to read, now seeing that Ji Heng and his eldest brother are speechless, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

a long time.

Fu Su sighed lightly: "I heard my younger brother talk about it today, so I know how difficult it is for me to gain a foothold in the Great Qin. The ancestors of the Great Qin even experienced ups and downs several times. After groping in the dark for more than two hundred years, they are worthy of standing in the world again. Stand firm."

"The difficulty of starting a business is not easy."

"I will take this as an encouragement to live up to the pain of my ancestors' entrepreneurship."

Ji Heng said indifferently: "Fortune comes and misfortune comes, and misfortune comes and blessings come. The Daqin ethnic group has indeed been trapped in endless darkness for a long time, but because of this, they have tempered their extraordinary endurance to endure suffering."

"The people of Qin declined because of Zhou."

"It also prospers because of the decline of the week."

"Perhaps there is some reason in the dark."

"I don't know much about Daqin's past history, but from Hu Hai's mouth, I probably know something. Before Qin Feizi, the surname Ying had been suspended for more than two hundred years. Therefore, the historical materials of Qin Feizi's previous Ying surname, Most of it is word of mouth, and it can't really be taken seriously."

"Thus, what is really traceable in the history of Qin actually begins with Qin Feizi."

"It is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books."

"The information obtained in the book is too superficial after all. If you really want to understand the history of Qin, you should not just build a car behind closed doors, but take the road of the founding of the Great Qin, starting from the Qin Pavilion, and listen to the people of Qin on the past. view."

"What is done on paper is always superficial, and I know that this matter must be practiced!"

"You may go for a walk."

　There's a bit of drama to this.
　　Basically, it is Shiji, Tsinghua Bamboo Slips, a mixture of these things.

　　Subsequent plot: Going to leave the country.
