On New Year's Eve, the wind and snow are still there, and the lights of Yecheng under the night sky are bright. Every household is staying at the New Year. People are waiting by the lights and waiting with their relatives for the arrival of the new year.

In a corner of the city, in the governor's residence, the governor of Xiangzhou Du Kan, with his wives and concubines, and his children gathered together, watching Hu Ji and musicians performing Western Regions singing and dancing, and they were enjoyable.

Although there are also Hu Ji who crossed the sea and musicians who can play Western music, it is always much worse than that in the north.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about Yecheng. There are a large number of Hu people living in Yecheng. The level of singing and dancing in the Western Regions is different from the so-called "Hu dance" in Jiankang, which is the difference between the bright moon and the firefly.

Du Kan worked in Yecheng and was still very addicted to the Western Regions style. His wife, children and children who had just arrived in Yecheng were fascinated by watching the Hu Ji perform singing and dancing.

Hu Ji sang while dancing. Although the audience couldn't understand what they were singing, they could feel the exotic style from the strange melody and enchanting dance postures, and felt immersive.

Seeing that his wife Wang was so sensible, Du Kan signaled his maid to take the wine in front of his wife to warm it up again, then looked at the concubines present on the left and right, and looked at the deep-eyed and high-nose beards, and felt very comfortable.

Fame and fortune must be taken immediately. Although it depends on life, after success, you will be granted a wife and son, a magistrate, and a beautiful woman to accompany you, and a family of children. This life is really a happy life!

If it were when the Emperor of the Xiao family was in power, how could these martial officials have such glory?

When Yecheng is in need, where will it be guarded by foreign surnames?

The emperor of the Xiao family liked to be with the gentry, scholars, lyrics, poems and essays, court banquets and flowers, and flowers are gathered again and again, and there were not many military officials.

Even if there is, it is a foil. The warrior is good at using bows and spears, and he cannot hold the wonderful pen. In that kind of occasion, he is really a foil.

Even if it is sent to the prefectures and counties, it is not their turn to take charge of the important places, because the important positions in the local area are all held by the royal family.

But now it is different. The emperor of the New Dynasty values ​​martial arts and improves the status of military officials. The more he makes, the more rewards he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive, the more he will receive

The emperor has been fighting with others for many years, but has never lost his achievements, so he is not afraid of the rebellion of the military officials.

If you guard the important places, you don’t care about your own family. As long as you have the ability, you can do it!

The capital of Qi State was located in Sizhou, while the State of Chu State already had Sizhou and the state of Guanlun. Therefore, the State of Qi State was renamed Xiangzhou to treat Yecheng.

Du Kan, who made many military achievements, was the first governor of Xiangzhou. However, before that, people believed that this position was Li Xin, the royal family vassal king.

Of course, Li Xin was still stationed in Hebei, stationed in Liyang, holding heavy troops in his hand and staring at Hebei for the emperor.

This is a destiny. For the military officials like Du Kan, the New Dynasty emperors clearly rewarded and punished, and the benefits promised to the soldiers would be fulfilled as long as they meet the requirements.

In addition, the emperor and his ancestors were extremely capable of fighting, so who would have the idea of ​​rebellion?

The soldiers of the Northern Expedition had already divided the fields in Hebei and settled down. Du Kan was the governor of Yecheng. Although he was busy with his affairs, he would reward him for his contributions. He had made up his mind and his subordinates and was in a good mood.

Therefore, when there were sporadic riots and civil unrest in Hebei after the autumn, the troops in various places responded quickly, treating quelling the rebellion as their own business, and quickly extinguishing these "Mars".

These riots and civil unrest were mostly instigated by the defeated Qi army generals, and there were also those temples that were cut off during the inspection of the temple. The monks were forced to return to the secular world and instigated believers to rebel.

However, in the face of garrisons in various places, such rebellion is just a mantis chariot, treating Hebei as a settled soldier in his new hometown, and military and civilians are not allowed to cause any major trouble.

As he thought about it, Du Kan thought of the situation in Youzhou.

The Turkic army approached Juyongguan, Youzhou, and the other party seemed to be trying, because every winter, the tribes on the grassland would go south to spend the winter and rob the Central Plains prefectures and counties.

The other party comes to test Hebei's new master - the Chu army. If the Chu army deals improperly or acts incompetently, then this kind of temptation will become a real attack.

So, can Wang Lin, who is in charge of Youyan, stop it?

Du Kan felt that it was no problem. Now the officials who work in various parts of Hebei are all officials who have won the position of fighting bloody battles on the battlefield. When it comes to war, they are not waste.

On the side, the clock's pointer was about to reach "zero o'clock". After the singing and dancing performance, Du Kan and his family were wearing cloaks to protect themselves from the cold and walked outside the hall.

Standing under the eaves, looking up at the night sky in the north.

The private place is located in Yenan City. At midnight (mine) tonight, there will be a New Year's Eve fireworks show in Yecheng. The address is located in the middle of Yecheng in the north and south, near Sanmen.

It is said that the fireworks will fly into the night sky, so the people of Yecheng can enjoy this wonderful performance by just looking up at the night sky and looking in the direction of the three gates in their home yard.

What's the exciting part of the fireworks performance? Du Kan didn't know that he had never seen such a performance before.

Because the specific affairs are handled by Shaofu Temple, the Xiangzhou government only needs to prepare in advance:

The fireworks show was very dynamic, with firelights and loud noises. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents caused by frightened people in the city, the government should make reminders in advance and strengthen the vigilance in the city.

After waiting for a while, Du Kan rubbed his slightly sore neck and continued to look up at the night sky.

Suddenly, a whistle came, but there was a fire flying into the night sky at the center of Yecheng, at the Sanmen.

Then, a loud "bang" sound came, and the fire burst out with a large amount of light, like gorgeous flowers of flame blooming in the night sky.

Du Kan and his family were stunned when they witnessed this scene: Is this a spell? Or?

The whistling sounded constantly, and the flowers of flames continued to bloom in the night sky. The flashing light not only illuminated the faces of Du Kan and his family, but also made the people in the city who were looking at the night sky at this moment, and their faces turned pale.

The incredible fireworks performance is tantamount to the celestial changes for the people who have never seen the burning light of gunpowder.

Countless people couldn't help but kneel down on the ground and bowed to the flowers blooming in the night sky.

Or you put your hands together and keep praying.

Previously, because the Chu army demolished Buddhist temples in large quantities and confiscated temple property, many people in Yecheng who believed in Buddhism were frightened and angry. They cursed these bold and arrogant southerners who were unable to die well because they angered the Buddha.

The farmers who had divided the temples and fields also prayed in their hearts with fear, praying that the Buddha would not blame them for their helpless actions:

It’s not that we want to grab land, it’s these southerners who forcefully stuffed the land to us.

There are also a large number of rumors spread among the people, saying that the bold and arrogant Chu king dared to offend Buddhism and would definitely not die well in the future and would be pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep forever.

Those who dare to cultivate the land of the temple will not die well and will suffer for generations.

But now, watching the magic "fireworks performance" released by the Chu army, the people of Yecheng were shocked, and the original panic and anger in their hearts disappeared without a trace with the blooming flowers of flames that then disappeared.

The Chu army claimed that the Jian Temple was to clean up Buddhist scum. Now, this magical "fireworks show" proved that the Buddha recognized what the Chu army did and blessed the Chu army with supreme magic power.

Otherwise, how can I explain it?

The fireworks continued in the night sky, and more and more people in Yecheng were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed or praying to the sky with their hands together.

Du Kan, who witnessed the wonderful performance, finally closed her mouth.

He knew this was a "performance", but there was no doubt that the people of Yecheng would think it was a spell and would definitely be shocked.

When the Chu army inspected the temple, the resentment of the people of Yecheng who were stirred up by people with ulterior motives would disappear without a trace tomorrow.

Then, Du Kan imagined it.

In Yecheng, fireworks performances will keep hundreds of thousands of people awake at night. So, outside Juyong Pass, those unsightly Turkic people would be frightened to escape when they see the "fireworks performances".
