A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 354: Miracles descend from the sky and all tribes bow to the gods
Da Qian sent eight hundred clansmen to the Western Regions to join Wang Zhuo.At the same time, he also brought Wang Ke's edict.

Let him establish a foothold in the Western Region, and then establish a base to make the Western Region the back garden of the royal family.

Wang Zhuo had a headache when he saw the edict. After staying in the Western Regions for several years, he clearly knew how difficult it was to establish a base in the Western Regions.

The land here is even more barren, arid, and the cultivated area is limited. It is difficult to establish a foothold just by relying on these thousands of people. They must ask for the help of local people, but they cannot trust the local people.

But after seeing what Wang Ke ordered to send, Wang Zhuo immediately understood what to do.

After Wang Zhuo settled the [-] male family members, he immediately led [-] Yulin Guards, together with the [-] male clan children, to launch an attack on the Zahu tribe and indigenous tribes within a hundred miles around the place.

A thousand Daqian soldiers equipped to the teeth can launch a war to destroy the country here. These miscellaneous tribes and indigenous tribes are no match at all.

In just a few days, Wang Zhuo wiped out several tribes here, and then returned to the oasis with more than 2 captives.

The oasis occupied by Wang Zhuo was not large, with limited water resources and little arable land. It could only support 4000 to [-] people at most.For example, those large oases have long been occupied by relatively powerful tribes or indigenous people.

After seeing Wang Zhuo capture so many slaves, everyone was surprised and tried to persuade them: "Master, we occupy the oasis and it is not enough to support tens of thousands of people. Besides, we only have thousands of people. So many foreign captives are left behind." I’m afraid it’s a disaster rather than a blessing!”

"Everyone, Your Majesty has sent a divine weapon from the ancestors. This time, he has his own plans!" Wang Zhuo said mysteriously.

Everyone had different expressions when they heard that the ancestor's artifact was given to them.Naturally, many children of the public clan have heard that their ancestors are magical and have become gods. However, after all, the relationship between the public clan and the clan has been at least five years old. Many people have some doubts about this, but at the same time they have some expectations in their hearts.

After Wang Zhuo returned to the oasis, he immediately ordered people to lead more than 2 barbarian captives to the Gobi Desert thirty miles away, and asked the captives to build a high platform here to worship heaven and ancestors.

These barbarians were originally worried. They had lived in the Western Region for a long time and naturally knew that this oasis could not support such a large population. They were worried that these fierce gods would kill them.

Fortunately, these people were soon taken to a desert place, and food was distributed first. After seeing the food, these people finally settled down. After all, if they were to be killed, they would definitely not be given any more food.

After these people had eaten, they were organized and built a high platform on the Gobi Desert as required.

Although these people were curious as to why they wanted to build a high platform on the Gobi Desert, under the supervision of Habayashi Wei, work began quickly.

The Gobi Desert was full of gravel, but there was a lack of soil. Wang Zhuo directed the prisoners to build a high platform with stones and then glue it with soil. It took half a month to finally build a three-foot-high platform.

The high platform is very simple, and the combination of soil and gravel looks very rough.Several large flags were erected on it, and all the prisoners stood under the high platform, with a thousand feather forest guards guarding them.

More than 2 prisoners looked at the high platform, not knowing what those people wanted to do.

Wang Zhuo walked up the stone platform step by step. Behind him were several other clan members. These people went up to the high platform and placed the animals as sacrifices on the altar one by one. The most conspicuous one was a bronze cauldron. , this is a sacrificial vessel that Wang Ke specially took out from the Ancestral Temple.

Sacrifice to ancestors cannot be done casually, this cauldron is a must.

When everything was ready, everyone looked solemn, and the musicians next to them began to play music.

Solemn music sounded, followed by drums.

"Your Majesty King Wen, my descendant Sun Wang Zhuo will go to the Western Regions to offer sacrifices to King Haotian Wen." Wang Zhuo lit incense, and tens of thousands of captives below were also forced to kneel down. Tens of thousands of people on the ground knelt down to worship. The scene was extremely spectacular.

Wang Zhuo crossed his hands and raised them high above his head
"King Wen is here, and all the Xia will last forever!"

"Disciples follow the order of our ancestors to establish a separate sect with the Western Region. We affirm the mercy of our ancestors and grant us a piece of heaven and earth to settle down and live in!"

As he spoke, he threw a roll of bamboo slips in his hand into the cauldron. The next second, a golden light shone brightly on the altar. The many barbarian natives below were horrified when they saw the dazzling golden light.

It was the first time for these people to see such a miracle, and their hearts were greatly shocked.

Not to mention these barbarians and natives, even the sons of the royal family had dumbfounded expressions. After all, this kind of miracle had only been seen in family history books, and many people doubted its authenticity. Now they have witnessed it with their own eyes. After that, I was immediately convinced.

Then he saw a golden light that penetrated the sky and the earth, and the golden gem in Wang Zhuo's hand flew up at this moment.

Then there was a thunderbolt in the sky, and the next second the originally clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

A ray of golden light fell from the sky, and then landed on the Gobi Desert not far in front of the altar. The next second, clear spring water suddenly emerged from the ground.But in the blink of an eye, it gathered into a pool on the ground.

The barbarians who were kneeling on the ground were stunned when they saw such a miracle.They shouted loudly in nonsense and kept kneeling down, and they all looked like crazy.

At this time, there was another thunder in the sky, and the barbarians on the ground kowtowed faster and their expressions became more pious.

Then the strong wind howled, bringing up a cloud of water vapor, and then heavy rain fell from the sky, and it started pouring down the entire Gobi Desert.

The foreigners and natives spontaneously began to sing, dance and revel.

The downpour irrigated the Gobi Desert, and the seeds in the cracks of the rocks began to take root and germinate.The heavy rain seeped into the ground, and soon began to gather into streams, and then poured into the new pool, which slowly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone looked at the pool excitedly. In this part of the Western Region, water is very precious.Where there is water, life can grow and humans can survive.

The appearance or disappearance of an oasis represents the prosperity or demise of a country.

The Loulan Kingdom in the Western Region in the previous life is the most obvious example. During its prosperity, the water and grass were plentiful, and the Loulan Kingdom was one of the largest countries in the Western Region. Later, the Loulan Oasis' water and grass dried up, and the trees died. A country with a population of tens of thousands fell into decline in the blink of an eye.

The population dispersed, and Loulan City soon became depopulated. As one of the most important cities on the Silk Road, this magnificent city was finally submerged in the rolling yellow sand.

-

"This beautiful city in front of us is called the God-given city of the Pearl of the Western Regions. Legend has it that this city was blessed by King Wen, who lowered the spiritual spring. Such a miraculous city appeared on a Gobi Desert. The spring in this city is 2000 It has never dried up in years, and it is said that drinking the spring water here regularly can prolong your life.”

Since the establishment of this city, it has been the political, cultural, economic and religious center of the Western Regions for the next 2000 years. Countless Chinese men have fought bloody battles here. Generations of passionate men have set out from here to move westward and forge ahead.This is also a symbol of peaceful coexistence and unity between the Xia and the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions.
