Chapter 399 Who is the eldest son (fifth watch)

Chapter 402 Who is the eldest son
In the end Du Yaozong couldn't hold on anymore, he didn't rest for three days, his soldiers were already at the end of their strength.Then Liu Ke, under the influence of Ran Ming, has always maintained a third of the more than [-] fresh troops.With the addition of Liu Ke's two thousand freshmen, the balance of the war finally tilted towards Liu Ke.

The battle continued until the night of May [-]th, when Du Yaozong received the evaluation from the evaluation team of the director's department, Du Yaozong pronounced that all were killed in battle, and Black Stone Pass fell.

With the fall of Heishi Pass, there is no danger to defend from Sishui Pass to Yanshi.Regardless of the exhaustion of the whole army, Liu Ke arrived at the city of Yanshi first.

When Dong Run learned that Heishi Pass had been breached, he ordered the whole army to encircle Yanshi quickly and strive to conquer Yanshi City within three days.

When he came to Heiguanxia, ​​unlike the excited Dong Run, Chen Yong was always worried.

Dong Run was very puzzled, "Mr. Chen, can Zhang Wen still make a comeback?"

Chen Yong said: "There is an ominous premonition in the end, and I always feel that something bad will happen."

"Officer Chen, I thought you were too tired, otherwise, you would have rested at Heishi Pass for two days~!"

Chen Yong nodded.

Chen Yong stopped to rest at Heishiguan, but he was not in the mood to rest. After he settled down, Chen Yong took a few staff officers to open the documents.In this era, there are no later generations of computers, and a lot of information is stored in the original way, which not only has a large amount of information, but also is prone to loopholes.

After Chen Yong opened a large amount of information, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"The [-] cavalry of Ran Feng's Tiger Roaring Battalion actually disappeared after the exercise started!" Chen Yong thought about the [-] cavalry that he was very familiar with, although the combat experience was not as good as that of Ran Min's Yue Cavalry. , but it is superior to well-equipped, if it appears in a place where it should not appear, it is enough to change the outcome of a war.

Regardless of his own fatigue, Chen Yong set off to chase Dong Run with only thirty or so horse guards.

At the head of Yanshi City, Zhang Wenwen and Jiang Qian looked at each other and smiled, "General Jiang, how many soldiers and horses have the Red Army arrived in Yanshi?"

Jiang Gan thought for a while and said, "From the arrival of 5 strikers last night, there has been an increase of at least [-] to [-] horses now!"

"Forty to fifty thousand horses?" Zhang Wen smiled and said, "It's a pity, it's still too few. It would be great if that old boy Dong Run came to Yanshi!"

Jiang Gandao: "Zhang Cheqi is content, the ambush soldiers of Yishui and Luoshui can't hide for too long, Dong Run is just a fan of the authorities. No one knows when he will see through this situation!"

Zhang Wen said: "How about this, order Dong Heng to start digging the embankment!"

"Yes!"

As the heavy rain became smaller and larger, Luoshui accumulated a large amount of river water. Yanshi, surrounded by Yishui and Luoshui, naturally formed a valley. This terrain is very suitable for water attack.It's just a mistake, there was no large-scale battle in the history of Yanshi, and no water attack was taken.

We must know that this water attack has special environmental constraints, and it must be in the midsummer season from May to June, and it must be ensured that the Yellow River will not break its embankment.Moreover, Yanshi is too close to Luoyang, so it goes without saying that Luoyang's political status was in ancient times, so it's not that the ancient generals didn't have the vision to see that Yanshi was suitable for water attack, but that they didn't dare!

Once the water attack is implemented, not only will Yanshi be flooded, but even Luoyang will be affected. Luoyang, as the capital of the emperor, will be affected, which is naturally more than merit!

This is an exercise, otherwise Zhang Wen would not have dared to take this approach.Even if Luoyang is only the accompanying capital of Wei State.

Chen Yong hurried to catch up, but in the end he was one step too late.When he arrived at the foot of Yanshi City, Dong Run was like an eggplant beaten by Shuang.

Chen Yong said: "What's the matter, General?"

Dong Run handed over the notice from the director department to Chen Yong.Chen Yong took a look at it, and it was impressively written, "Yi River broke the embankment, and the [-] troops of the Red Army near Yanshi were judged to be all killed!"

There is a saying that misfortunes never come singly. Just when Dong Run was very depressed, the director department issued the latest announcement "The summer military exercise is officially over! The Red Army is defeated and the Blue Fang wins!"

It turned out that after Ran Feng left Xiangshan, he sneaked to the vicinity of Yecheng. When the main force of the Red Army gathered in Yanshi, he took advantage of the emptiness of Yecheng's defense and ordered a surprise attack on Yecheng! "

Although Ran Feng did not succeed in sneaking into the city, it made Ran Min impatient to carry on with the general's performance.After all, the defeat of the Red Army is doomed, and there is no way to recover.Ran Min decisively stopped the exercise.

At the same time, there were also two bursts of baby cries from the Jiankang shogunate's Shanjiaodong Palace.Almost at the same time, two midwives came to Ran Ming with two babies in their arms, and said in unison: "Congratulations, congratulations, you have a new little prince! Mother and child are safe."

Ran Ming was very happy. "Come and watch the show, each person will be rewarded with [-] renminbi, let's reward [-] gold!"

One hundred gold is 100 million yuan, which is enough to cover the income of a middle-level landlord for a year.Not less.

"Wait" Xie Yi pointed at the two boys and said, "Which of them is older and who is younger!"

The two midwives were stunned at the same time, "The little prince born by Princess Liu was born at the third quarter of the Yin hour and two sticks of incense~"

Another midwife also said: "The little prince born out of Princess Xie was also born with two sticks of incense at three o'clock in Yinshi!"

There was also a huge disparity in treatment among the ancient sons.In the Confucian ethics of the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Principles, there are many things to pay attention to, and one of them is to regard the eldest son as the most respected, and the eldest son to be the main one, and the second one to be the assistant.The head of the family is the head of the family. Unless it is a dou who is not good at morality, born with a mental retardation, and cannot be supported, the position of the head of the family, property, and the right to inherit the title will definitely not escape.

As the eldest son of Tai Changqing (equivalent to the chief ministers of the Ministry of Culture, Health, Education, and Foreign Affairs of later generations.) Xie Yi, Xie Yi naturally understands the importance of this eldest son.Don't look at Xie An's glory in front of others, but in front of Xie Yi, he must lower his figure.Of course, Xie Po, one of the Nine Ministers, had the title of Viscount Longevity during his lifetime, and it was legitimately inherited by him.

Xie Daoyun is the eldest daughter of Xie Yi, and if Xie Daoyun's eldest son becomes the eldest son of Ran Ming, he will be the son of King Jiaodong in the future and will inherit the throne when he becomes an adult.If the second son will be at least one level lowered to the Duke or Duke of the State.

For the sake of his daughter and grandson, Xie Yi naturally intervened.When Xie Yi heard the news outside the door, his eyes lit up suddenly. When Ran Ming smiled wryly, he rushed to his follower Xie Hengsheng who was not far away and made a "do it" gesture.

As Xie Yi's personal entourage, Xie Hengsheng is Xie's family servant. Since Xie Hengsheng's grandfather sold himself as Xie's slave, to Xie Hengsheng's generation, three generations of Xie's family servants.There is one thing about a house servant, and that is loyalty.What royal law and morality do not exist in their hearts, and the master's order is their imperial decree.Even if the master told them to rebel, they did not hesitate.

In ancient China, there were no real clocks and watches. Timekeeping was generally calculated by hours and quarters, that is, there were twelve hours a day, and each hour was two hours.Each hour is divided into four quarters.Below the engraving, it is represented by timing candles or incense, that is, a moment is divided into three sticks of incense, and one stick of incense is about 5 minutes.

Because there are no clocks in China, all units representing time are ambiguous, especially small time units, such as three cups of tea in a quarter, two sticks of incense in a cup of incense, five cents in one stick of incense, and six fingers in one minute , There are ten moments with the flick of a finger.A moment is a second.

The fact that Ran Ming's two sons were born at the same time did not exist, and a difference of one second was also a difference.

In the case of this kind of fuzzy time, the operability is stronger. If you say you are long, you are long.Say you are the first time, that is the first time.Facing the look in Xie Yi's eyes, Xie Hengsheng nodded knowingly, he quietly took out a gold ingot and handed it to the midwife Xie had invited.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are rules of the rivers and lakes.In ancient times, occupations were divided into upper, middle and lower classes, representing the main industries in the world.Like a midwife, she belongs to the lower class and is also a member of the rivers and lakes.And the follower can be regarded as a low-level profession, Xie Hengsheng used the quack method to communicate with the midwife.The ancient people had very wide sleeves, which looked like they were shaking hands, but they were actually communicating with each other.

As we all know, one of our hands can express the meaning of numbers from one to ten, hundreds and thousands with finger gestures.Xie Hengsheng tapped the midwife's hand three times with his right thumb, and then blinked again.In fact, this method of negotiating prices without words is handed down from ancient times, and this trading method can still be seen in the bull market in the countryside in the 90s.

Xie Hengsheng's meaning is very obvious, that is, let the midwife be responsible for the fraud, and manipulate the son born by Xie Daoyun into the eldest son, and she can get 1000 gold.The figure of [-] gold is not small. Even the second-rate gentry have far less than [-] gold in liquidity. If it is used to buy land, almost [-] mu of land can be obtained.Thirty thousand gold can turn a proletarian with no land into a landlord with property and land in a blink of an eye.

The transaction pays attention to a sky-high asking price, and pays back the money when it lands.This operation was successful, and Xie's income far outweighed his expenses.If Xie Daoyun's son is a legitimate son, needless to say, the throne belongs to him, and all the property under the name of the palace is his priority to inherit.The midwife shook her head lightly, she broke away from Xie Hengsheng's hand, and then held Xie Hengsheng's hand instead, with five fingers spread out, then clenched into fists, and repeated three times.Of course, five fingers spread out means five, and repeated three times means fifteen, because Xie Hengsheng proposed 15 gold, and the meaning of the midwife at this time also represents [-] gold.

Xie Hengsheng shook his head again, held the midwife's hand with his backhand, put the midwife's five fingers together, and then stretched out his index finger a little.What Xie Hengsheng meant was that he could only pay one hundred thousand gold.

The midwife thought about it, and finally nodded.Others don't know, but she understands very well that Xie Daoyun's son is actually not as early as Liu Mo's in terms of pregnancy date, but it is only premature, which should be regarded as three breaths older than Liu Mo's son.

The eyes of the "deal" midwife shone with excitement.
