Among Zhang Zhou, the most direct way to directly enter the pro-army and forbidden armies is to compete in the school field and perform meritorious service on the battlefield.
For example, in the battle to destroy Shu, Han Huzi, Gongsun Nian and others from Guanzhong Yi who accompanied the army were directly absorbed into Zuohu Benwei, the personal army formed by Yin Zhengqi in Chengdu Prefecture, because of their military merit.
Zhang Yan also found out clearly that the families of Li Zun and Fan Changgong were indeed Han people.
The Li family is a large family in Longxi, and the Fan family used to be a small family dependent on the Li family.
It wasn't until Zhang Yan established the regime and the world outside became less chaotic that the two families separated, but the Fan family still obeyed the Li family's command to a certain extent.
The Li family in Longxi is naturally a local big family. Even though it has been so many years since the Tang Dynasty was destroyed and they were ruled by Tubo for many years, there are still a lot of people with the surname Li in Longxi.
Although most of the Longxi Li family they call themselves are unreliable, most local people are surnamed Li, and the custom of honoring Li has been passed down.
Originally, it was not difficult for Li Zun and Fan Changgong to join the Forbidden Army or the People's Liberation Army because of their Han status and family background, and their ability to capture giant tigers alive.
But it would not be easy for the two of them to enter the capital of Hanshan or to go to the Six Guards with their own troops. Without extraordinary skills, they would not be able to enter this range.
On the makeshift school field, the cheers grew louder and louder.
Fan Changgong lived up to the name Longbow. He shot seventy steps at a fixed target and hit the red heart six times. Marching rapidly, three projectiles were fired straight away, four times completely hitting the designated coverage area.
He shot eight times out of ten at the fixed target and hit the red heart twice. After shooting down eleven challengers in a row in the cavalry archery competition, he was defeated due to lack of physical strength and ranked first among the fifty cavalry competing together.
Finally, after resting for half an hour, he was able to fire a stone bow ten times on the left and right. Obviously, he not only had excellent ability to continuously output firepower, but he was also versatile in shooting left and right.
The thundering cheers in the school field are the best recognition of Fan Changgong's outstanding performance.
You must know that those who came to the school today are all good athletes from all over the country. Without a few brushes, you cannot attract their cheers.
That's the good thing about martial arts competitions. You can tell who's good and who's not at a glance. There won't be a situation where you say it's good and he says it's not.
Amid the cheers, Fan Changgong walked to a distance of two hundred steps from Zhang Gao. He first took off his outer armor, then placed his bow, sword, and saber on the ground in sequence, and bowed his head.
After walking a hundred steps, he put down his spear and bowed again.
After walking about thirty steps, he bowed his head three times and then shouted loudly.
"Longxi Fan Changgong is willing to serve as the saint's minions!"
Zhang Gao laughed three times, walked down the steps himself, and helped Fan Changgong up.
Dong Shaojian shouted from the high platform, "Longxi Fan's long bow is the best in foot and horse shooting. The sage personally ordered the generals, and everyone who entered the right wing of Hanshan City was..."
Hearing the word "wei" in the protracted voice of Young Supervisor Dong, the entire school grounds immediately fell silent.
Because someone like Fan Changgong, who entered Hanshan City directly, was probably a junior officer, it was impossible for him to manage the soldiers of Hanshan City.
Because he can't command at all, according to the usual practice, it is necessary to recruit new warriors to be commanded by Fan Changgong. Only after he has gained prestige will he be integrated into the group.
It is precisely because of this that the warriors on the school field pay attention to how much official position the emperor is willing to give Fan Changgong.
Giving a general Yuhou means that Shandu will expand the number of generals in this school, that is, one hundred people.
Given ten generals, a team will be expanded to fifty people.
If only one fire chief is given, then only ten people can enter Shandu.
In the midst of great expectations, Dong Shaojian whetted everyone's appetite before shouting loudly: "Fan Changgong, the right wing of the Hanshan capital is named C, the sixth battalion, the third victory capital, and the 13th general Yuhou has been appointed."
"Long live! Long live! Long live!" This moment completely detonated the entire school ground, and thousands of people shouted "Long live".
Fan Changgong, who had the best grades, became General Yuhou, which meant that the capital of Hanshan would recruit at least a hundred people, including two junior generals and ten fire chiefs.
For a moment, those who felt they had some ability were shaken by the stimulation. This is a shame! The emperor's most trusted bodyguard.
Even if you are just an ordinary soldier, you can get more than three hundred acres of land. After retiring, as long as you serve longer, you can basically get an official job somewhere.
Generally, they are the captains of the Wuhou team in prefectures and counties or the chief police officers. Those who are more capable and have connections can even become patrol inspectors in prefectures and counties.
Let alone an officer, he can definitely reach the top in one step.
Zhang Gao personally supported Fan Changgong and said to him: "I will give you three places, and I will choose from the athletes of your Fan family."
Fan Changgong was overjoyed and bowed to Zhang Gao again, banging his head on the ground.
There are only two to three hundred members of the Fan family, and they only have three sets of iron armor. The capable warriors can pick out at most ten people.
I originally thought that if one person could join the pro-army, it would be considered a blessing from the ancestors of the Fan family.
Now I didn't expect that the saint directly promoted him to the general Yuhou of Hanshan City. Not only did he rise to the top in one step, he could also protect his brothers in the clan.
With the four of them, the little Fan family will soon become one of the rich families in Longxi Prefecture, and the future is bright!
At this moment, Fan Changgong's eyes flashed before his eyes with the expectant eyes of Ye Niang's siblings when they set off.
He had gone through three days of winter training and three days of training in summer, and the hard work he had gone through could fill a wardrobe with broken long bows.
His father used the name of the long bow to stimulate him to strive for excellence, just so that he could become famous as a minion of the saint today.
He also flashed back the shock of that day in the cave. If the item on his neck wasn't of good quality, his neck would have been bitten off by the giant tiger.
Even so, the giant tiger's lunge almost broke his neck. It would be no exaggeration to say that his life was hanging by a thread.
But now, it all pays off!
Fan Changgong burst into tears. Li Zun, who he had regarded as his leader not long ago and affectionately called Li family brother, was immediately forgotten by him.
"I will thank the saint for his kindness. Please rest assured. I will bring the best members of the Fan family to serve the saint."
Fan Changgong decided that only two of his clansmen could serve as qualified soldiers of Hanshandu.
For the remaining one spot, he would not give it to the unqualified brothers in the clan, but would recruit Li Wanshan, a famous heroic athlete from Niaoshu Mountain.
Thinking of this, after Fan Changgong saluted Zhang Gao, he immediately got on his horse and went to look for the man.
He didn't even notice Li Zun's embarrassed and suppressed expression not far behind him. Fan Changgong only wanted to serve the saint, and now he couldn't pretend to be anything else.
Niaoshu Mountain, also called Niaoshu Tongxue Mountain, is the source of the Weishui River and a famous mountain that goes up to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
There are many fertile fields under this mountain. Although the mountain is steep, there are many birds and animals. It is the favorite hunting place for men in Longxi.
Just hearing his name, Li Wanshan seemed to be a Han, but in fact he was a genuine Tubo, and he was from the Tubo Zongge family in Dafeichuan.
However, they are not the core of the Zongge family. The core of the Zongge family is the Wenbu family.
In the Zhang Zhou court, the Wen Bu family of the Zong Ge family was a member of the orthodox Lianglan Liugu tribe. The Wen Bu family had long been given a surname and changed to the Han surname Wen.
The fate of the Li Wanshan family was a bit bumpy. Although there were a few forbidden troops, they were quickly dispatched to various places by Zhang Gao. As a result, each family was focused on its own family and there was no time to form a joint force.
However, things changed after Li Wanshan's father took them to Longxi and settled at the foot of Niaoshu Mountain.
Li Wanshan's father didn't know whose advice he listened to, and he started to call himself Li with his surname without any shame.
When people asked, he said that his ancestors were the warrior warriors who followed Princess Jincheng to Luocheng, and were distant ancestors of the Li family in Longxi.
It sounds full of loopholes. On the Qingtang Plateau, many nobles are illiterate, let alone middle- and lower-level officers. Those who can leave genealogies are basically wealthy families among the Tubo people.
However, after Zhang Shi counted all the Momo people as Han people and brought them back to the country with their righteousness, he found his ancestral customs and soon swept all the prefectures and counties in Longyou, Hexi.
When choosing a Han surname, for families such as Zhang Bo, Wen Bu, Zhe Bu, Su Lun, and Du Lun, just ask the emperor to simplify the surname to one character.
As for other miscellaneous people, such as the Li Wanshan family, most of them claim their surname is Li and state that they are related to the Li Tang royal family.
They didn't dare to cling to Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng, because it was said that Zampu Trisong Detsen was the son of Princess Jincheng.
This Zanpu, in the hearts of the Tibetan people, can be a giant Buddha.
During his reign, the Tibetans marched eastward and captured Chang'an.
Hexi Longyou, which annexed the Tang Dynasty to the north, and Shazhou's last Hexi Jiedu envoy Yan Chao, was poisoned on the order of Chisong Dezan.
To the south, Trisong Detsen sent a large army to swoop down from the plateau and completely captured the land north of the Ganges River in Tianzhu. He also sent troops to erect large iron pillars beside the Ganges River to declare that everything north of the Ganges River was Tubo territory.
The records of descendants of such a prestigious Zanpu are very strict (compared to Tubo), so it is too difficult to pretend to be one.
So a group of Tubo people had a clear idea and began to pretend to be people around Princess Jincheng, such as bodyguards, maids, etc.
There are even people pretending to be the nephew of Princess Jincheng, the descendant of the unlucky Li Chenghong who was briefly crowned emperor by the Tubo people.
This is embarrassing. Li Chenghong was not taken away by the Tubo people at all!
However, this does not affect the interest of a large number of Tibetan and Qiang people. The law does not punish everyone!
So in the past few years, there have been almost as many people with the surname Li in Longyou, Hexi. Some people say that 30% to 40% of the people in Longyou, Hexi Province now have the surname Li.
.
.
When Fan Changgong flew towards Li Wanshan, the sixteen-year-old boy had passed three levels in a row and won warm praise.
Well, sixteen years old can't be considered a teenager at this time, it should be considered an adult.
Although Li Wanshan's family had his uncle as a forbidden soldier, it was a pity that he was killed in the Battle of Luoyang not long after.
Of course, if his uncle had not been killed in battle, it would not have been Li Wanshan's family's turn to enjoy his protection and come to Niaoshu Mountain to equalize the land.
However, although the land was equalized, his uncle did not die out, but left a son. Therefore, the hundreds of acres of land currently cultivated by Li Wanshan's family actually belong to his cousin.
The officials of Longxi Prefecture have a set of strict protection measures for this kind of family.
Li Wanshan's aunt Du and his cousin Li Wanjin lived directly in Fucheng. The government designated other members of the Li family to take special care of them, and government officials visited them at any time.
Li Wanshan's family can only be regarded as Li Wanjin's tenants. If Li Wanjin dies, their family will lose the farming rights of hundreds of acres of land.
This was done to prevent someone from plotting to kill the son of the hero for the sake of the land.
Therefore, Li Wanshan has a particularly strong sense of crisis. He has been honing his martial arts skills since he was nine years old. He has developed good riding skills and is also good at using bows, spears and other weapons.
You can play the difficult game of hiding in stirrups and turning around to shoot when you mount your horse. You can also catch rabbits with bare hands in the mountains when you dismount.
At the age of fourteen, he became famous for killing a Wenbao (Golden Leopard) with just a whistle stick.
Li Wanshan was a little confused when he saw Fan Changgong coming to look for him.
In Longxi, the Li family where Li Zun belonged was a well-known powerful family, and the Fan family, which was semi-dependent on the Li family, was not someone to be trifled with.
Before Li Wanshan became famous, he was often bullied by the Li Zun family. He was a bit ostracized by the fact that a slave like you deserves the surname Li.
But immediately, after Fan Changgong told Li Wanshan the news, young Li Wanshan was about to burst into tears, and immediately came to Zhang Gao with Fan Changgong wailing.
However, compared to Fan Changgong, a real Han, Li Wanshan, a Tibetan pretending to be Han, seemed extremely pious.
He didn't dare to look above Zhang Hao's chest, and lowered his head all the way to Zhang Hao.
When someone said that this was the emperor's face, he immediately knelt down, raised his butt high, supported his elbows on the ground, crossed his hands on top of his head, and chanted in his mouth.
"Om Mani Pai Miku! The Supreme Heaven illuminates the bodies and minds of all the innocent ones, making them full of wisdom, and kindly comforts all the innocent children of the Buddha who walk in the light."
Although Zhang Yan felt a little comforted by the fact that the Han people were not so devout in his supreme heaven, facing such devout believers, he couldn't help but feel elated.
He gently placed his hand on Li Wanshan's head, "The Buddha entrusts the virtues of loyalty, courage, faith and justice into my hands and bestows them on the good men of the land of good Dharma, so that you will have the courage and loyalty to be practitioners of the Swastika Dharma."
No matter now or in future generations, the heads of the Tubo, Qiang and other people are extremely afraid of being touched.
In this era, it is even more taboo, because in their view, only the Supreme God in the world can touch the top of their heads, and other living Buddhas, great virtues, Rinpoche, etc. can only touch their shoulders.
Swastika practitioner is also a proper term of the Liufa Sect.
Among the devout believers of the Six Dharma Sect, only those who have been touched and transformed by the Supreme Heaven can be called practitioners, are qualified to serve the Supreme Heaven, and can look directly at the Supreme Heaven, and can call themselves disciples.
Those who have not gone through this cannot look directly at the chest above the Supreme Heaven, and can only call themselves "Chizi", which means those who have the heart of a pure child, but have not yet been enlightened by the Supreme Heaven.
Li Wanshan raised his head tremblingly, and the sunlight, which was approaching noon, was behind Zhang Yan's head, making Zhang Yan look majestic and full of brilliance.
Li Wanshan didn't even see Zhang Yan's appearance clearly, he only felt that everything he touched was filled with light.
"Disciple, please show your bravery!"
Li Wanshan still felt a bit dreamy about being able to enter the capital of Hanshan and be able to protect Zhang Yan, so he was ready to show off his bravery to let the Supreme God know his bravery.
】
This Tibetan general who was one of Pan Luozhi's most trusted generals in history and who, at the age of more than 60, personally led his troops in an ambush and shot to death Li Jiqian, the god of war in Dijinze, had already become Zhang Gao's most devout believer in this time and space. .
"No need to be nervous, I know you will be the most loyal and brave man." Zhang Gao lowered his voice, appearing majestic and kind.
Hearing this, Li Wanshan was so happy that he didn't know what to say. His tall and strong body looked like a tame little mastiff in front of Zhang Gao.
"Saint! Servant Li Zun is also your loyal and brave athlete!" Li Zun on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore. He screamed sadly, fell in front of Zhang Hao, and kowtowed repeatedly.
Fan Changgong became the general Yuhou of Hanshandu, and many of the other warriors he brought were rewarded. Even the Tubo Li Wanshan, who had the audacity to call himself Li Wanshan of Longxi, was favored.
But he, the warrior who ranked first in step fighting, first in horse fighting skills, first in horse fighting and mounted archery, and second only to Fan Changgong in foot shooting on the school field, actually got nothing.
Li Zun thought a lot about the reason, and there was only one possibility.
The Li family's actions in forming gangs in Longxi have already made the saint very dissatisfied.
