Chapter 374 Ancestral Temple
Many people advocate national integration, and even use the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as examples - the Xia people were also born through the fusion of tribes.
However, the birth of the Zhuxia nations and the later integration of ethnic groups cannot actually be confused.
First, there is a prerequisite for tribal integration during the birth of the Xia people, that is, there is no big difference in appearance among the people of each tribe.
The later fusion, for the Han people, many other ethnic groups had different appearances. The face shape, hair color, skin color, and eye color were different. In this case, no matter how we advocated "we are a family", in fact, no one believed it in the subconscious of both parties. Why do the family look different?
Because of the same appearance, hair color, skin color and eyes color, I believe that it was born by an ancestor, and there is no obstacle to fusion.
Secondly, the birth of national concepts is also a major obstacle. Since the distinction between China and the barbarians and national consciousness has awakened, it has been more rejected by foreign races, and foreign races have naturally been more rejected.
During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the concept of nationality had not yet been born. So it was easier to integrate at that time, but it was even more difficult later.
Third, the change of dynasties is another obstacle. Different ethnic groups may not be able to integrate under the obstacles of appearance and national consciousness, but it takes more time. For example, in the Han Dynasty, if the Han Dynasty had not lasted for more than four hundred years, but one thousand four hundred years, then this integration should be successful. But it did not.
Ying Yi has absolute confidence in forging a dynasty for generations, but the idea of using people is to use his own people. In other words, for those who have not yet become a "Han" person, Ying Yi will not use it.
The army is the most important part of a country. Before it is integrated into a furnace, the purity of this part must be ensured.
Maybe there are few reasons, but some things do not require reasons. Just based on your preferences.
Think about the Five Barbarians to the Han Dynasty, think about the Anshi to the Tang Dynasty, think about the Western Xia to the Song Dynasty, where does the favor come from?
It seems that the ancient Romans of the Tesi were also destroyed by slaves. It seems that they also used slaves as army, and then they had no army, and they were all slaves. The slaves fought back and finished playing.
The military expansion was decided in this way. The Ministry of War and the Military Affairs Office cooperated to complete the operation efficiency of Daxia at most two months according to the current operational efficiency of Daxia.
At that time, three new war zones will be added, one of which fills the gap after Zhou Li's transfer, and the other two war zones will be pulled to Tibet and the northwest, adding one hand to Qian Yue and Zheng Jiu.
The matter was agreed upon, and Huang Zongxi from the Ministry of Rites stood up and worshiped: "The country of Daxia has been established for many years, and Your Majesty has been married, but the Taimiao has not yet been completed. I ask Your Majesty to tell you."
Hearing this, Ying Yi suddenly felt a headache.
The Taimiao is a ancestral temple dedicated to the royal ancestors. However, the Taimiao of Daxia has not been decided. It is indeed because Ying Yi did not take into account this matter. It is indeed inconsistent with the etiquette.
Ying Yi said: "Huang Qing also mentioned this matter the last time. Is it because the Ministry of Rites already has any concerns?"
Huang Zongxi said, "Your Majesty, Ying Zhi was the first female cultivator of Emperor Zhuanxu. The female cultivator gave birth to Daye. Daye married Shaodian's daughter Dafei. Dafei also followed Yu to control the flood. Dafei gave birth to Boyi. Boyi assisted Shun. Emperor Shun gave him the surname, and the surname Ying was first born. Yu was given the common ruler and ordered Boyi to be in power. Later, he wanted to follow Yao and Shun to abdicate Boyi. Boyi refused to go, so he left and lived in seclusion in Jishan. Jishan was in Henan."
"Your Majesty inherited three dynasties and inherited the powerful Qin Dynasty. It started in Henan and pacified Shenzhou. It was a matter of days. I would like to ask Your Majesty to establish the ancestral temple of the Ying surname to correct the root cause."
It is true that the root of the Ying surname can be verified. There are no foreign tribes who change their surnames to Ying surnames. This is one of the eight ancient surnames, and has a long history.
There was Bo Yi in the past, Ying Zheng in the middle, and Ying Yi now. The past and present are inherited, and there is no difference.
However, after the Ying surname was powerful, there were many twists and turns. After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, many of the Ying surnames changed their surnames to take refuge. In the past two thousand years, people with the Ying surname were rarely seen.
According to Huang Zongxi's research, the only branch that has restored the Ying surname is now in Chishui Prefecture, Guizhou.
"Ying Qigao, the garrison of Pingyue, was reborn because of the rebellion of the chieftains in the first year of Tianqi, and he was rewarded with his surname because of the rebellion of the chieftains. He later settled in Chishui Prefecture."
He also said: "Your Majesty started in Nanyang, but what Your Majesty said came from Huguang. Ying Qigao's lineage flowed from the source of Tianshui, and later moved to Zhushiba, Xiaogan Township, Macheng, Huangzhou Prefecture, Huguang. It was moved to Pingyue Prefecture, Guizhou during the Wanli period. Huguang only has this descendant of the Ying surname. Your Majesty comes from Huguang, so this source of this source is undoubtedly."
Finally, he said: "Your Majesty asks you to issue an edict to summon Ying Qigao's son to heredit the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei in the previous dynasty, and Yingzhou, the guards of Longchang camp of Bijie Prefecture, went to Beijing to meet him."
Ying Yi was surprised when he heard this, and quickly asked carefully, and had a detailed understanding of this.
It turned out that Ying Qigao's lineage was indeed a native of Huguang earlier. Around the late Wanli period, one of the lineage was promoted to the military position and appointed the garrison of Pingyue, Guizhou, and his family moved to Pingyue of Pingyue of Guizhou. By the time of Ying Qigao's generation, due to the rebellion of Guizhou chieftains, Ying Qigao made great contributions to suppress the rebellion and lent the seal of General Cavalry, and then he renamed the surname. However, Ying Qigao was killed in Mianzhou when he led troops to fight with Zhang Xianzhong during the Chongzhen period, so he gave his son Yingzhou hereditary Yu Yin, the garrison of Longchangying of Bijiefu.
Ying Yi didn't expect that he could actually involve a clan. When he first arrived, he compiled a background for himself, saying that he could not survive because of natural disasters, so he went from Huguang to Nanyang. Unexpectedly, there was such a clan with the same surname in Huguang.
He pondered for a while and said, "Although I came from Huguang, I am not Macheng. I think there are some connections, which are probably far away. I will leave Huang Qing full authority to deal with the matter of the ancestral temple, taking Bo Yi as his ancestor and the ancestor Long Yingzheng as his ancestral temple to establish this ancestral temple to correct the root cause. As for the Ying surname in Guizhou, it is better to entrust Yingzhou to come to Beijing for a while, so don't pay more attention to the others for the time being."
Huang Zongxi worshiped: "Abide by the emperor's order."
The matter of the ancestral temple was settled like this. Next, Ying Yi changed his words and said to Zheng Yunzhi: "The manpower and material resources are tight at present. I wonder when the pharmaceutical department I mentioned earlier can be put on the agenda?"
The Pharmaceutical Department was a plan that Ying Yi decided early. Medicine is about health. Even if a strong person does not reach a certain level, he will not be able to escape the threat of illness. What's more, the empire is now developing greatly and encouraging childbirth, which also requires medical protection.
Zheng Yunzhi bowed and said, "What Your Majesty said about the establishment of the Medical Department can only be built first. There is no more effort to establish a general government between counties and towns, and directly affiliated with officials in Yige. I have discussed this matter with my colleagues in Yige, and believe that the establishment of districts in the form of a chamber of commerce is more in line with actual needs."
When Ying Yi heard this, he couldn't help but think: "According to the form of the chamber of commerce... well... it's a good idea. Although this is not directly affiliated, it will not be out of regulation. It can save a lot of manpower and material resources."
He stroked his hands and said, "Just do it."
"Abide by the order."
