Chapter 143

"Aye, are you working as an errand in the Ministry of Rites?"

"That's right, after Officer Aye was reinstated, the Supreme Emperor ordered Aye to go to the Ministry of Rites and Feudal Affairs to serve as the deputy director general in the first few days, in charge of receiving various feudal vassals, foreign tribute envoys, and translations."

"Aye, it's a good thing to be promoted."

"What a good thing. The first thing Aye did when he took office was to receive the Mohe envoys. The clerk said that these Mohe people are the most barbaric. They are more ferocious than the Turks. They don't make sense at all. They will kill people with swords at every turn. Aye Ye's confidants said that this is the feudal lord's Sisi trying to give Aye a show of strength so that Aye can be obedient in the future."

Xiao Chuan became angry immediately: "Aye, what's the name of that Si Zheng? Somebody go find him to reason."

Dugu Luo grabbed his son and said: "No, we will be looked down upon if we go now, let's think about how to receive the Mohe envoy well."

Xiao Chuan said: "Aye, what's going on with these Mohe people? Please tell me."

Dugu Luo has already asked for some materials from the Ministry of Rites and handed them to Xiao Chuan.

Xiao Chuan said embarrassedly: "Aye, I don't know much about literacy, you should talk about it."

While reading the information, Dugu Luo introduced: "Mohe, also known as 'Mojie', is derived from the sound of 'Wuji', meaning a person in the forest. It was called 'Sushen' in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and 'Sushen' in Warring States period. Yilou' has lived and multiplied in Northeast China since ancient times."

""Wei Shu" and "Wuji Biography" record that starting from Helong, passing through Shanyu Mountain, Qili Mountain, Ruluogui Water, and Tailu Water, and traveling northeast for [-] days to its country, the state-owned Dashui is more than three miles wide. The name is Sumoshui (Songhua River). In the south of the country, there is Tutai Mountain (called Taibai Mountain in Tang Dynasty, and it is called Changbai Mountain in Liao and Jin Dynasties). Wei people call it "Taibai Mountain". Now living in the north of Koryo, each tribe has a chief. The costumes are different, but they are all shaved and braided."

Xiao Chuan said: "Aye, isn't this Mohe a minority in Northeast China? How many big tribes do they have?"

Dugu Luo said: "Now there are seven major tribes in Mohe: one is called the Sumo Tribe, which is connected to Goryeo, has thousands of victorious soldiers, many warriors, and often enters the territory of Goryeo to rob; In the north, there are [-] victorious soldiers; the third is called the Anche Gu Department, which is in the northeast of Boduo; the fourth is called the Fu Nie Department, which is located in the east of Bo Duo; , in the northwest of Anchegu; the seventh is called the Baishan tribe, which is in the southeast of Sumo. The victorious troops are not more than three thousand, and the Heishui tribe is particularly strong."

Xiao Chuan said: "What's the name of the leader of the Mohe people? Is he also called Khan?"

Duguluo said: "No, the leader of the Mohe people, Qu Shuai, is called Damofu Dudu."

Xiao Chuan said: "What customs and habits does Mohe have?"

Dugu Luo said: "Mohe people live near mountains and rivers, and they are a powerful country among the Eastern Yi. They respect Tutai Mountain very much. There are bears, leopards and wolves on the mountain. They don't harm people, and people dare not kill them. Land Humid, build soil as embankments, dig cellars to live in, open upwards, and use ladders to enter and exit. Occasionally cultivated, the soil is rich in millet and wheat. The water is salty, and salt is produced on the wood bark. Most of their livestock are wild boars, and they chew rice for wine. Drink it and get drunk."

Xiao Chuan said to himself: "I like living in a mud house and also like drinking."

Dugu Luo went on to say: "Women in Mohe wear common clothes, and men wear leather jackets made of pig and dog skin. Washing hands and face with urine in cold weather is the most unhygienic among the barbarians. The custom is the most lewd and jealous. If the wife cheats, Someone went to tell her husband that the husband killed his wife first, then regretted after killing, and would kill the informer, so the adultery will not be promoted.”

Xiao Chuan thought about it: "Mohe people are rough, their brains are not good, they are so stubborn, they can be deceived."

Dugu Luo glanced at the information, and then introduced: "Everyone in Mohe shoots and hunts for a living. The horn bow is three feet long, and the arrow is two inches long. They often make poison in July and August, and use arrows to shoot animals. die."

With a thought in his mind, Xiao Chuan thought to himself, "Isn't this the Jurchens of later generations?"

During the Five Dynasties, the Khitan people called Heishui Mohe Jurchen. Since then, the name Jurchen has replaced Mohe, and the Liao Dynasty changed it to Nuzhi because of taboos.

Xiao Chuan asked: "Aye, why do you think Chief Mohe came to my Dazhou?"

Dugu Luo thought for a while, and said: "Over the past hundred years, since the Fuyu Kingdom weakened, the various tribes of the Sushen Clan have gradually migrated to the southeast and settled in the Sumo River (Songhua River) basin, so they were named Sumo because of the water. At the same time, Goguryeo also continued to expand northward, capturing the territory that originally belonged to Puyu. The cause of the war between Sumo Mohe tribe and Goguryeo should be to fight for control of Puyu’s former land. Now the chief Mohe came to the Sui Dynasty, it is estimated that Sumo Mohe In the war with the Goguryeo people, Su Mobe was at a disadvantage and wanted to form an alliance with me, Da Zhou."

Xiao Chuan praised: "Aye, you can do it now, you are quite politically minded."

Dugu Luo was embarrassed by his son's boast, and said with a blushing face, "Aye was also cramming temporarily. After receiving this task, he began to read the records of the Ministry of Rites in the past, and guessed like this."

Xiao Chuan said: "Someone guesses that Aye's guess is indistinguishable. Since Su Mo Mohe wants to form an alliance with our Da Zhou, we will take the initiative, and things will be easy to handle in the future."

Dugu Luo said: "Then what is Aye going to do?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Aye, you can just wait at ease, when the time comes, I will accompany you to receive him."

Dugu Luo said: "Will it not delay your trip to Turkic to get married?"

Xiao Chuan said: "We still need to prepare for the marriage for a while, just take advantage of this time to deal with Su Momo's affairs, so that Aye can gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Rites."

Dugu Luo sighed for a while, how did this eldest son brought from the countryside become so powerful?Could it be that Duguxin's genes are too strong and passed down from generation to generation?

Xiao Chuan found a few bricklayers who built the kang, took out the drawings of the houses outside the pass, and put them on the table.

The bricklayers came closer to watch together, and one bricklayer asked curiously, "Sir, what do you use to build these houses?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Adobe, use adobe to build walls, and use thatch to make roofs."

The bricklayer said: "I know there are cave dwellings, but this is the first time I've heard that a house can be built with adobe. A house can also be built with adobe? Will a thatched roof not leak? Won't it be washed down after a few heavy rains?"

Xiao Chuan said with a smile: "My adobe thatched houses are not built inside the pass, but outside the pass. There is less rain and the weather is cold for a long time. The adobe thatched house is warmer than the brick and wood house. You see, I also designed a floor for the interior." dragon for warmth."

Hearing this, the bricklayer nodded repeatedly and said, "My lord is right, I'm going to be ignorant."

Xiao Chuan said: "You put down all your work for the time being, and within five days, work overtime to build a few adobe thatched houses, which are of great use to me."

The bricklayer solemnly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will complete your mission even if I don't eat or sleep."

Xiao Chuan said: "You have to work hard, and you should also pay attention to rest. You three supervisors work in three shifts, and the workers also work in three shifts. The built house is fumigated with fire."

The chief of Mohe Sumobu had an audience with the Great Zhou Taishang Emperor Yu Wenyun, and offered ginseng, mink fur, Ulagrass, and two pairs of sea dongqing.
