The Red Age of Sword and Magic

Chapter 72

The Kuche Qiongsayi and Weigan Rivers flow through Kucha, forming an alluvial plain.

It was mid-June, and it was the time when the traffic in Kuche Qiongsayi was the largest.The two rivers rush through and irrigate a large oasis in the Kuqa Basin.

As soon as he entered Kucha, Henry's eyes were overwhelmed.There are fair-skinned and beautiful Kucha indigenous beauties coming and going on the street.He wears a round hat and has several long braids behind his head.

From their looks, Randy can vaguely see Coco's features, but the red-haired ones are gone.

Henry let go of the rein, and raised his hands to the sky, "Our old Bai's hometown is indeed a good place, beautiful women in Kucha, here I come!"

"Brother Bai, wake up, you are here to pay homage to your ancestors, not to pick up girls."

"These two things are not contradictory. I'm just surprised that this city is full of mixed descendants of Tocharians and Junggars. When I came here, I heard that there are many Han Chinese and barbarians living in this city."

"The Han people were all slaughtered by the barbarians. The barbarians... Hehehe, Governor Zuo's army has just swept past here."

Randy got the news from Master Zeng.The barbarians were frantic and wanted to kill all the Han people and build what kind of Hongfu Khanate, and in the end they were almost wiped out.

In one war, 2000 million Han Chinese were killed, 400 million barbarians were slaughtered in revenge, and 4000 million taels of military expenditure was wiped out.In terms of cannibalism, human beings are no worse than Warcraft.

The camel caravan set up camp in the commercial square in Kucha, and many vendors immediately came up to strike up a conversation.

Randy repeatedly explained to the vendors who approached him that this is a private freight team, and things from the camel team are not for sale.

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the vendors, Randy stopped one and asked, "Did you expect a camel caravan to come here? Why are you all waiting here?"

"When the Puppet Hongfu Khanate ruled here, because the communication with the Central Plains was cut off, the shortage of supplies here was unbearable.

The left governor's army passed by, and Daxia resumed its rule here.The imperial court established the Kuqa Zhili Office here, and Master Tongzhi sent a telegram to Guannei, requesting material support.

The call back said that a large number of caravans and immigrant Han Chinese were already on their way, and we thought you were that. "

Daxia established a province in the Western Regions, and the rule over here was changed from the autonomous Burke system to the Zhili Office directly under the Central Government, and it also immigrated to Shibian. It seems that it is preparing to rule the Western Regions for a long time.

Randy felt that if Daxia's policies were the same as they are now, why would the common people rebel?Alas, Henry is right, there are too few good officials like Governor Zuo.

Seeing Henry looking around along the way, Randy thought he would go out to learn local art again tonight.

Unexpectedly, after setting up the camp, Henry unexpectedly stayed in the camp.Moreover, he did not eat barbecue at night, fasted and bathed, and prayed devoutly to the God of Light, acting like a devout Zoroastrian.

The next morning, due to the prior agreement with Randy, Long Wu announced that the camel team would rest in Kucha for a day.The Randy team accompanied Henry to the former residence of his ancestor, Duke Besven, to worship.

The former residence of Bai Siwen is just next to the Zhili Office, and now it has become a holy place of Zoroastrianism.

In front is a tall Zoroastrian temple. The former residence is located at the back of the Zoroastrian temple, which is a part of the temple. Hearing that the descendants of Duke Bai, the Zuoshi of Guangming, came to visit, Sabao, who presided over the Zoroastrian temple, greeted him personally.

Sabao is an intermediate priest of light. When he saw the Bai family tree and the holy fire order that Henry took out, he knelt down to Henry with a plop, "I have seen Lord Bai."

Henry hurriedly helped Sabao up, "You are so old, and you are a senior priest, how can you give such a gift to me, an ordinary priest?"

"I am not worshiping you, but this sacred fire order. Back then, the Guangming Zuoshi made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty's global empire, and at the same time made the Zoroastrianism flourish. This Zoroastrian temple can be full of incense, and it is all due to the existence of the former residence of the Gods.

You hold the holy fire order, and the holy masters of Zoroastrianism can also be mobilized. I should pay homage. "

Henry is not easy to stop people from worshiping their ancestors, and he is quite proud.

"I thought this was just a relic? Why is the former residence of the ancestors still there?"

"The city of Kucha was also destroyed in the cataclysm. However, the turbulent volcanic magma in the cataclysm actually stopped at the former residence of Guangming Zuoshi, and more than 100 Zoroastrian believers who hid here escaped with their lives.

It can be seen that Guangming Zuo makes Zoroastrian believers all over the world worship, and the former residence has its own gods to protect it.Although the former residence of Bai Zuoshi has been repaired many times in the past dynasties, it still has the original layout. Let me lead you in to pay a visit. "

Henry looked around the terrain.This is the highest place in the whole city. The Zhili Office next to it was built on the remains of the ancient Kucha Palace and later the Tang Anxi Dadufu. This is the center of Kucha.

During the catastrophe, the geomagnetic deflection caused volcanic eruptions everywhere, and the geology of the Kuqa Oasis was relatively stable. The volcanic magma must have come from the surrounding area, and it is scientifically reasonable to stop here.

However, when people put a halo of sacredness on their ancestors, of course Henry would not explain any scientific principles to them, but instead agreed with him very much.

A group of people passed through the hall in front of the Zoroastrian Temple, and the former residence of the left envoy of Guangming appeared in front of him.The flat-topped stone houses are not very grand, and there is a plaque in front of the door that reads "An Guohou's Mansion".

Henry is an expert here. Although he has never been here, he has heard the stories passed down by his ancestors countless times. He pointed to the plaque and told Randy about the heroic deeds of his ancestors.

"The ancestor was originally the royal family of the Kingdom of Qiuci, a kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, the Marquis of Juejia'an, who was only in charge of the internal affairs of the kingdom under the King of Kucha, Bai Helibu Shibi, the king's younger brother Bai Yehu, and the Marquis of Fu. .

Later, King Qiuci was captured by Datang and taken to Chang'an, and Bai Yehu was in charge.Because the ancestors connected with the nobles, they intended to take advantage of the opportunity of Gaozong Li Zhi's succession and amnesty to the world to welcome King Kucha back.This aroused the jealousy of Bai Yehu, who was already in power, and sent someone to assassinate the ancestor.

The God Envoy of Light happened to follow the ancestor's disciples, that is, the maids of the God Envoy arrived, and rescued the ancestor from the assassins.

From then on, the ancestors followed the God Envoy of Light and governed the thousands of miles of land he laid down for the God Envoy.Until he became the Bright Zuoshi, the first prime minister of the Datang Global Empire, and the actual ruler of the Global Empire.

I'm just a little priest of light for this purpose today.I feel ashamed to think about my ancestors' heroism, and feel ashamed of my ancestors. "

San Mao has the most confidence in Randy, "Brother Bai, don't be humble, follow Randy's boss, and you will be famous all over the world in the future, and let all Daxia people know."

"My ambition is different from that of my ancestors. I have no political talent. My greatest wish in this life is to be a good doctor and save lives and heal the wounded. I am not even too enthusiastic about promoting the Priest of Light.

I am only good at thoracic surgery, and it is impossible to reach the level of Bian Que, Hua Tuo, and Sun Simiao.Letting some people know about it in the professional field is quite powerful. I am a remote Maple Leaf native. Let everyone in Daxia know my name?How can there be such a chance? "

"Brother Bai, I think you can do it, let's wait and see."
