Chapter 965, 966 Move the capital to Chang'an!(1/2)
In the end, all seven or eight hundred people in the manor were shaved. As long as they were men, they would have to braid their hair. Their golden or brown hair was shaved off, leaving only a thigh on their foreheads and a thigh on their ears, and then braided into two small braids.
I don’t know if it’s because of different races, but their braids look uglier and weirder than the Mongolians.
Afterwards, everyone, including the shoemaker John, was connected by Mongolian cavalry with ropes and taken to a nearby church that had become a military camp.
They will become slaves to Mongolian nobles.
Under the setting sun, a large group of people were escorted by dozens of cavalrymen and marched by the Thames River. Mongolian cavalry kept scolding and intimidating, and laughed from time to time.
When they were happy, one of them rode a horse and grabbed a woman with his hand and placed it on the horse's back, riding the horse while having fun. Their superb riding skills were also revealed at this time.
He is barbaric and rough, and he is fearless. He is in broad daylight and in full view of the public, he ravaged the woman unbridledly.
To them, although these yellow-headed women look weird, they are women after all, and they have a unique flavor.
There were also Mongolians singing pastoral songs, playing horse-headed qin and Qiang flute, which made the atmosphere full of indescribable absurdity. Those who were plundered as slaves could never have imagined that these barbarians on the oriental grassland could sing such good songs and such good songs.
A village appeared in front of me, a dead and silent village.
Everyone was dead and fled, with only a lonely windmill, still turning bored at the entrance of the village.
The Mongolian household, who also felt a little bored, suddenly took off a step bow, jumped off the horse's back, pulled out a sling arrow (six twelve arrows), pulled his thick arms, sank back, and let out a low "huh" growl in his mouth.
"KaKa" Sanshi strong bow sounded a heart-wrenching sound, and it was pulled into a full moon. The huge arrow like a shovel was pulled to the back of the bow.
A loud "swoosh!" sounded loudly, and a heavy arrow came out of the string, tearing the air open and hitting the center of the windmill ten feet away.
With a "click", the windmill was shot apart by a heavy arrow, and turned into several wind leaves and fell down.
The white people who were robbed as slaves were frightened in their hearts when they saw this.
This archery technique is really accurate and ruthless. How many knights and longbowmen in England can shoot such an arrow?
"That's great! It's no worse than the Legend of the Condor Heroes!" A cavalry praised, ran out and retrieved the six twelve arrows that were shot.
Baihu glanced at the white slaves coldly, and the warning in his eyes was full of meaning.
Of course, this shooting technique is about establishing authority. Humph, who dares to escape? Can you pass my arrow quickly?
In fact, the archery technique of the Yuan army’s Baihu was still a little worse than that of the Mongolian Condor Heroes, and was not very good among the Mongolian army. But such archery technique was enough to open the eyes of the white slaves.
Not far away, Oxford University was also occupied by the Yuan army and became a thousand households of the Yuan army. This university, which had been established for more than a hundred years, was originally the highest institution of learning mainly for the study of theology, but now it has become a military camp.
The students were shaving their hair each other. The theology, alchemy, geometric mathematics, bloodletting, chemotherapy, and art they learned, which they were usually proud of, were useless. In order to survive, they had to temporarily surrender to the will of occupying the army.
"Dangdang" the bell of Oxford University rang as usual. The grief-inspired president did not give up ringing the bell because of the arrival of the invading army.
The bell alarmed several Yuan troops. Following the bell, they finally found the university bell tower and found the big round bell that was different from the east.
After invading the Western countries, the warriors of the Yuan Dynasty liked such a big round bell very much. As long as they saw it, they would definitely be plundered into spoils. In their eyes, this big round bell is one of the best things in the West. Because in their eyes, there are not many good things in the extreme west.
Several Yuan soldiers immediately stepped forward and wanted to remove the big round clock.
"Gentlemen!" The principal opened his arms and protected the great round clock. "You can't do this. It's been here for almost a hundred years. This is the oldest clock in the whole of England..."
"Looking for death!" A Yuan army slashed over impatiently, and the principal immediately fell into a pool of blood.
Such a bloody scene is nothing more than a microcosm of the entire England and even the entire Western land.
I don’t know how many of the property and treasures in Western royal palaces, castles, churches, monasteries, universities, etc. have been looted by the Yuan army. Since the Yuan army conquered the mainland last year, there were wars everywhere on the entire continent, refugees everywhere, burning, killing, looting everywhere, and outrageous atrocities against women.
Under the iron hooves of the Yuan army, from later Eastern Europe to England and even Scotland, slaves with tying hair were seen everywhere, tied behind the ponytails of alien cavalry and taken away in a bunch of strings.
The main culprit of the shocking atrocities was of course the invading army, but many of them were done by locals.
These white people are usually either gangsters, pirates, or criminals. They are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. When the Yuan army came and the old ruling order collapsed, they did unscrupulously and committed crimes, taking advantage of the situation, following the Yuan army, facing their compatriots, killing, plundering and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.
These people became new vested interests and the first speculators to surrender to the Yuan army as accomplices. Under the banner of the Yuan army, they claimed to be the title of "Nayan" or "Hundred Houses", actively cooperated with the Yuan army to suppress local resistance and gain benefits from it.
They were called "Satan's servants" by the angry priests.
Under the order of "leaving hair without leaving your head, leaving your head without leaving your hair", the Yuan army must roughly force the people to shave their hair and braid them wherever they go. Although Westerners do not have the complex of their parents' bodies and their hair, it does not mean that they are willing to shave their hair.
It's really...too ugly.
From the fact that Western nobles and priests like to wear wigs, they still have a good aesthetic for hair. For many bald people, wigs are their soul and dignity.
But now, the damn Eastern Tartars actually asked them to shave 80% of their hair, revealing their bare head and back of their heads, and braiding two pigtails in their ears!
Even the handsome and handsome nobleman, who has such hairstyles, looks like a despicable clown and villain, and has absolutely nothing to do with a romantic gentleman.
God, is there anything worse than this?
This is an unbearable shame!
What is even more infuriating is that they blasphemed God, and they committed unforgivable sins against Christ and must be punished by God.
But the Mongolians told them that they were actually guilty. Their sin was disrespect for the heaven of immortality. The Mongolians also said that if they had no sin, the Mongolians would not have come.
What logic is this?
According to the logic of the Mongolians, is a poor man killed by a murderer because he is guilty? Because he is guilty, the murderer killed him?
God, the Mongols are crazy.
No, it’s not that they are crazy. It’s that they are robber logic and are simply unreasonable.
Therefore, many Westerners resisted heroically for dignity and faith.
From Eastern Rome to Italy, to Germany, to France, to England, to Denmark, Spain... I don't know how many people took up weapons, resisted the Yuan army, and resisted the white traitors who surrendered to the Yuan army.
Although the Yuan army destroyed a large number of royal families, nobles and bishops, life was actually not easy.
There were dozens of rebellious forces from east to west, spreading across West Asia and Europe in later generations. The smaller ones were hundreds, the larger ones were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Many of them proclaimed themselves counts, grand princes, bishops, and even kings. Relying on manors and castles, they fought back against the Yuan army, with great momentum.
Of course, the shadow of Tang Ting's spies is indispensable. Without the role of Tang Ting's spies, the anti-Yuan uprising would definitely not be as large as that.
Among them, there are four largest strengths: one is the rebel army in Eastern Rome, the second is the rebel army in the Holy Roman Empire, the third is the rebel army in France, and the fourth is the Polish rebel army. They are all with more than 100,000 people. Although their weapons are simple and they are considered mobs, they do not fight the decisive battle with the Yuan army, which will cause a headache for the Yuan army for a while.
In order to suppress the rebellions one after another, the Yuan court had to send more troops into the West continuously. For a moment, it was overwhelmed and lost sight of one thing.
The Yuan court even invested in the "New Mongols" who conquered from Liaodong, that is, the ancestors of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, to suppress the Western uprising army.
It is obvious that the rush of anti-Yuan uprising will not last long. When those who dare to resist are massacred, the uprising will inevitably be suppressed.
Because the anti-Yuan uprising did not have a solid social foundation. Western countries did not have a strong national consciousness at this time. The so-called resistance was more incited by noble priests who lost their power and flee. The fundamental purpose was to regain lost power and property.
Or some lower-level ambitious people are just trying to get the fire from the fire for power.
In fact, if the Yuan army comes or not, the vast majority of serfs, farmers and slaves who have no personal freedom will suffer as well. If they are not ruled by the Yuan nobles, they will be ruled by the lord church. What is the difference?
…………
In early February, General Fubo Luo Yu captured Kandy City and Wuweishan Temple, captured Ceylon King Viebahu VI, and the monk King Jinjue, and obtained Buddha Tooth Relics.
The Ceylon Den Badlia dynasty perished.
The Tang army seized gold, silver and wealth from royal nobles and temples, equivalent to more than tens of millions of silver. The seven-story golden pagoda alone was worth millions.
He also obtained more than 100,000 stones of food and captured tens of thousands of prisoners of war and slaves.
Luo Yu sent five thousand soldiers to guard Ceylon, and personally took the Ceylon royal family, nobles, monks, prisoners of war, slaves, and a large amount of gold and silver materials seized, back to the Tang Dynasty.
By late February, Chen Shuzhen also invaded the Mansola kingdom and destroyed the Mansola Kingdom. King Mansola was killed on the battlefield. The Tang army also obtained more than 10 million yuan worth of property, as well as more than 100,000 plowing oxen, and nearly 100,000 prisoners of slaves.
However, Mansora is much stronger than Ceylon, and the soldiers are not afraid of death and are extremely fanatical. There is also an elite cavalry of thousands of people, who are worthy of being the famous Sikh elite soldier in later generations.
The Tang coalition forces used the cost of thousands of casualties to annihilate the main army of Mansora. Among them, there were thousands of casualties of the Tang army alone.
In any case, this military power that has always been an alternative among the Indian countries no longer exists.
Within one month of the Tang Dynasty, the two countries were destroyed.
The good news came to Luoyang. Although the Tang Lord was not surprised, he was still very happy. He issued an edict to Luo Yu of Jin to be the county marquis and Chen Shuzhen of Jin to be the county monarch.
At the same time, he told Luo Yu and Chen Shuzhen that they would go to Chang'an to offer prisoners.
Because the Tang Dynasty was about to move its capital to Chang'an.
In early March of the sixth year of Hongwu, Li Luo was jointly requested by the governor of Yongzhou, the military governor of the northwest of Wen Tianxiang and the Chang'an Construction Minister Zhang Zhichun.
The two reported that Chang'an City and Chang'an Palace had been completed. They beg His Majesty to move the capital to Chang'an.
The Chang'an project started in October of the second year of Hongwu and was completed in March of the sixth year of Hongwu. It took nearly three and a half years to build it, and it took more than 600,000 yuan to consume more than 20 million yuan in food. It was finally completed.
Li Luo looked at Zhang Zhichun's hand-painted pictures of Chang'an City and Chang'an Palace, and was fascinated by the dragon's face.
Li Luo hasn't been to Chang'an for several years, and he doesn't know what the Chang'an project is like. But now, just looking at the picture, I feel a huge shock.
The emperor showed the picture to the ministers, and all the ministers were amazed: The world's number one city!
Just looking at this drawing, you can imagine the peerless style of Chang'an City.
Mou Yan said in admiration: "I read Du Mu's "Afang Palace Fu" in the past, Ban Gu's "Biandu Fu" and Zuo Si's "Three Du Fu" are all about the beauty of the palaces and the vastness of the flowers. Now looking at my Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, it really looks like heaven and earth, and the latitude of the yin and yang."
Yao Shun said, "Kun Ling is in the right position, too purple and square, with towering palaces and a vast pavilion. The mountains and rivers are quiet, and the inside and outside are vast. It is indeed the capital of the Heavenly Dynasty!"
Qian Xuan said: "What I saw is even more so than the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City. Moreover, this pattern still does not lose the appearance of Chang'an City back then, and it has a great restoration, which is even more rare."
The ministers congratulated each other, and the emperor and the queen were both happy.
"Do you guys have a "Chang'an Fu" presented?" Li Luo asked with a smile.
The civil officials showed a hint of embarrassment together.
