Chapter 167 Creek Dog

From the main gate to the Yanei Conference Hall, soldiers wearing strong and sharp-stricken soldiers stood in line and set up a big scene to welcome the upcoming guests. In the conference hall, the marshal of Lingnan Road, Yu Wenwen, and the Marshal of the Chief Scout Choi Dana sat upright.

There were more than twenty seats prepared in the seat, but there were only a few people here. It seemed that they were people coming to attend the meeting. An hour, two hours had passed since the beginning of the meeting.

After the Lingnan Road marched to capture the counties of Jiangzhou, Marshal Yuwen Wen sent a "Heroic Post" to the powerful people in Jiangzhou, "rely invites" all the heads and clan leaders to gather in Nanchang, the capital of Yuzhang County on January 20 of the following year. On the day of the year, he issued another "Heroic Post" reminder in case anyone forgets it.

However, today, Yuwen Wen was waiting for guests from all walks of life in the prefecture office to come to the door. After an hour of meeting, he could not wait for all the local tyrants on the invitation.

The participants, only a few local powerful family heads in Nanchang who were present, were representatives of the "Four Surnames of Yuzhang". No matter whether they were willing or not, they could not avoid this meeting.

The so-called "Four Surnames of Yuzhang" is a general term for the large clans in the Nanchang area of ​​Yuzhang County. It is not the "Four Surnames" evaluated by the court, but the common name of several most powerful clans after years of development, namely the surnames.

The four surnames of Yuzhang are said to be Hu, Luo, Deng and Xiong. Among them, Hu has the strongest family background, and Chen, Lei, Zhang and other surnames, and their strength is not weak. However, in the Nanchang area of ​​Yuzhang, Hu, Luo, Deng and Xiong are worthy of the title of a large clan.

Yuwen Wen looked at the few people in front of him and squeezed out his smile as much as possible: "Everyone, I met here today. I thought the scene would be very lively, but I didn't expect it to be so deserted, which really made everyone laugh."

Hearing this, the elites present quickly said, "The people dare not." Yuwen Wen had just "paced" Jiangzhou for more than a month. Faced with his "invitation", it was normal that the powerful people from all over the country did not dare to come or did not want to come. The family foundation of these people is in Nanchang, Yuzhang, so it would be impossible not to come.

Seeing the scene being awkward, Yuwen Wen took out a bunch of letters and threw them one by one under the desk, saying, "Actually, the wise men from all over the country invited by me are not coming. In fact, they have their own difficulties."

"Some people suddenly sprained their legs, some people suddenly suffered from serious illness, and some people suddenly had major problems in the clan and couldn't get rid of themselves. Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons, and they couldn't go to the meeting in person. They specially sent their capable people to Nanchang to attend the bench... Oh, it's really a coincidence that we can't be any more coincidental..."

"Haha, Xigou! I am a fool when I am a great Zhou king! "

The Chief Sage Choi Danah, who was sitting next to him, suddenly cursed, and the words "creek dog" changed the expressions of everyone present, but everyone has experienced decades of ups and downs, and soon hid their emotions.

Yuwen Wen glanced at the guests at the stairs and couldn't help but praise Cui Da's work to add fuel to the fire, but he didn't want the fire to burn.

"When I was in Huangzhou, I heard from someone that it is said that in the stream in the southern Jiangzhou, there are objects in the water that look like toads with three or four inches of tail, and feed on small fish and insects in the water. If by chance, I want to see the true face of the stream."

"If the king wants to see the stream...dogs, grass people and others will order people to search the streams in the mountains and offer them to the king to watch."

Several people present agreed awkwardly. If they were called "creek dogs" on weekdays, they could turn their backs on the spot or leave, but now they can't do it, so they can only sit down with complaints.

"I have emphasized in the invitation that if the head of the family and the clan leader cannot come, then the eldest son must be sent to come. However, none of the people who attended the bench today seemed to be the legitimate son, but the housekeeper."

"In other words, they didn't take my words to heart."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Wen had already thrown all the letters. He clapped his hands and several generals came outside the door.

"General Chen."

"The last one will obey the order!"

"The writers of these letters are all traitors who want to rebel." Yuwen Wen slowly stood up and said with a smile, revealing his white teeth, "What should we do with the traitor?"

"If anyone dares to resist the King's Army, kill me!"

"very good!"

Yuwen Wen laughed loudly and bowed to the heads of the family present to apologize: "You are going to the meeting today, so you are naturally a good citizen of the King's Army. Please go home and sit down. Remember not to have any contact with the traitors, so as not to accidentally get hurt when the official army takes action!"

Seeing such a formation, how dare the heads of the family say more? No matter how unwilling they were, they would not bet on the safety of their family. Now, looking at the formation of King Xiyang, is it necessary to start a massacre?

Crazy! Those people are just waiting and watching. If you disagree, you will "quell the rebellion". Isn't this forcing the other party to rebel? In the chaos in Jiangzhou, can you still sit firmly in Nanchang City?

Thinking of this, the heads of the family did not dare to say anything. Seeing Yuwen Wen smiled and announced the "end of the meeting", they quickly escaped. The Chief Cui Dazhe was secretly happy when he saw this scene.

OK, force the powerful Jiangzhou to rebel, and then wars will spread everywhere, making you anxious and have to quell the rebellion everywhere. Then Lingnan will not be progressing well, so you will have no time to think about it!

Yuwen Wen was overjoyed when the Harmony Conference could not be held. He was afraid that all local tyrants would be present today, and there would be no reason to "quell the rebellion" by then.

"Master, are you going to attack Xigou?"

Faced with the problems of several generals, Yuwen Wen's face darkened: "Xi Dog? Don't insult the people in Jiangzhou like this. I don't want to hear these two words from you again!"

"yes!"

The stream dog is of course not a dog living in streams. Jiangzhou is full of mountains and there is an amphibian similar to the giant salamander (giant salamander) in the mountain stream. It is called the stream dog. In ancient times, it was called the stream dog.

Of course things are not that simple. In fact, "creek dog" is a despicable term, which then evolved into regional discrimination, which is what later generations call regional discrimination.

For example, when it comes to Henan people, they are "stealing manhole covers", when it comes to Northeast people, they are "gangsters", when it comes to Guangdong people, they are "eating everything", or when it comes to some Shanghai locals, they are "Xiang Wuning (countryman)", and the obscure statement is "hard drive" and "d".

In this era, "Xigou" was a specific despicable name for the people of Jiangzhou, and it was also the kind of name for the people of Jiangzhou in the Southern Dynasty, and it was the kind that came out of the mouth.

As long as an official comes from Jiangzhou, no matter how big his official position is, others will privately call him a "stream dog".

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Grand Sima Tao Kan was of high power, but because he was born in Jiangzhou, he could not get rid of the insulting title of "Xi Dog". His great-grandson Tao Yuanming was also privately ridiculed as "Xi Dog". Since the Southern Dynasty, it has become a custom for privately calling Jiangzhou people a stream dog.

Cui Dana obviously knew this "Southern Dynasty custom", so he deliberately said it and stimulated the heads of the family present, which was actually to arouse the resistance of these people. Yuwen Wen knew it very well but could not do it, so he could only change the topic and smooth things over.

How much harm does this insulting title cause to the people of Jiangzhou?

Yuwen Wen made up for some idea. If he was called "Chinese Pig", he would not be in much better mood.

He hated regional discrimination and despise, so he would never allow his generals to insult others at will. After all, a large-scale group event that Yuwen Wen would launch next, called "Harmony Jiangzhou".
