It is not uncommon for a war to break out because of bird droppings on an island. The ancestors at Zhongyuan Hall also failed a war because of a bowl of mutton soup.

Before 607 BC, the State of Chu ordered Zheng to send troops to attack Song. The State of Song took Minister Hua Yuan as the commander and Le Lu as the general to fight.

The commander of the Song State, Hua Yuan, was considering that the war was about to be imminent, ordered the sheep to be killed and rewarded the army in front of the station. The soldiers were also very happy. Even if they died, they could be a suffocating ghost. However, the key to the problem was that Hua Yuan's coachman Yang Jin did not get the mutton.

As the commander, Hua Yuan himself has a command car and a specialized groom, but for some reason, Yang Chen did not eat mutton.

Maybe because the coachman's name is Yang Chen, he was worried that the coachman would not eat mutton? Or maybe Hua Yuan, as the commander of the army, did not take the matter of dividing mutton to heart. It was the mutton that the people under his command, and he might not know that his coachman had not eaten mutton.

However, no matter what the reason is, Yang Chen felt very unbalanced. Why did everyone eat mutton but I didn’t?

When we divided the mutton, Hua Yuan had the final say, but after the war started, the chariot was going to go where it was sheep!

After the war began, Yang Zhen drove the commander's chariot straight towards the Zheng army formation. Note that there were only commander's chariots, while the other chariots were not together.

It is estimated that Hua Yuan might have had ten thousand grass mud horses galloping by in his heart at that time. This was the bloody incident caused by a bowl of mutton soup...

So after the introduction of Bird Island, the three countries officially opened the film, while Pierre used his own practical actions to prove the romance in the bones of French men and the discipline under certain specific conditions.

For example, when surrendering.

The war between the two bad guys, the Netherlands and Spain, on the sea was a scam. As they got closer and closer to Bird Island, the shells from both sides also turned to Bird Island.

Whether it is a combination of the straits or a war, Spain and the Netherlands have secretly colluded, and they decided to eliminate France at sea first.

After all, Bird Island is too close to France and is far from both the Netherlands and Spain.

France's strength is more due to silver coins. The army is quite useful, but when it comes to the navy, there is nothing to mention except hehe.

After all, the two European maritime overlords, the Netherlands and Spain, would feel guilty in facing the Ming Empire navy at sea, were left to walk sideways in Europe.

Then Pierre surrendered while retaining the noble demeanor.

This is not embarrassing, because not only the European barbarians, but the ancestors at Zhongyuantangkou basically played like this in the Spring and Autumn Period, and also believed in green travel and civilized warfare...

First of all, those who go to war must be "scholars", that is, the three nobles with knowledge, culture and status can go to war, because this way they can respect the other party. This is how the word "warrior" comes from.

As for the civilians and slaves who followed them together, they could only do some cooking, washing dishes and feeding horses. It was probably the civilians who took the blame and sent to death the nobles...

Secondly, if you want to fight with others, you must first issue a war letter and explain how many horsemen you plan to bring with you to the other party at what time and place.

The wording of Zhan Shu must be beautiful, generous and decent, so that people feel comfortable when they see it, then they will agree to start a movie with you, otherwise you will have no choice but to fight.

Being sent to the Book of War was definitely a bad person at that time, and it was completely different from the risk of being sent to the enemy country being cut off from his head and sacrificed to the flag in later generations.

Here, we travel for public business, and when we arrive at a country where the war letter is issued, we will be entertained by public funds. When both parties have fun at high-end banquets and have a speculative chat, we will usually set the time, location, and number of people to start the film.

According to the "rituals" formulated by the ancestors of Zhongyuan Hall, the first thing is that the two parties agreed not to add more time to the opening of the film, and not to cause trouble, that is, they cannot take advantage of the death of the other party's king or the famine and other major changes.

Then there is the location. Because it cannot disturb the people, it is necessary to choose to be at the junction of the two countries. Because the border is also called the border, the battlefield has the name of the battlefield.

Moreover, the battlefield must be open in the wild, because it cannot disturb the people...

Then, the number of people on both sides is the same. You must not have the situation where you have five chariots and I have six chariots, because you will be ridiculed by other countries as ungrateful barbarians.

When both sides are ready to open the film, both sides will line up the formation and then confirm whether the preparations are in place. Not only do you need to determine your own side, but you also have to wait until the enemy is ready to open the film before starting the film.

What if the other party is not prepared properly?

Just wait, or one of the parties is really inappropriately prepared, such as one of the chariots broke, then both parties will make an appointment for a separate time before opening the film.

When you are ready and officially start the film, you can't start the film casually. You can only attack the chariot you face, that's right, it's the chariot, not the person in the car, because it's impolite to hit people.

Seize the opportunity and take a taxi when both sides intersect, and you cannot turn around and kill immediately after relying on your good driving skills. You have to wait for the other party to make a good head before you can start the second hedging.

Because the chariots interleaved once were one round, there was another saying "fight for three hundred rounds". Obviously, this sentence was transferred because the chariot turned around...

What if a soldier injured the other soldier in an hour while fighting with the opposite chariot?

It is very simple to ask the other party to go back and deal with the injury. If the treatment is fast and comes back early, the two sides can continue to fight. If the other party simply rests, the injured soldier can only watch the battle on the spot until the end.

That's right, it's just watching the battle. Because he has no opponent, no one will attack him, and he can't attack others. You can't do the third party's interference...

And the etiquette regulations are obviously not just that.

First of all, the identities of both parties of the warrior must be equal. The king's Warring States Period can only fight the chariot of the other king, the general's chariot can only fight the chariot of the other general, and the warrior can only attack the chariot of the soldier.

Like Du Fu said that capturing the thief first captured the king in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was obviously not feasible, because according to the rules, the king who hurt the other party would be severely punished...

Just like during the Battle of Yanling, General Xizhi of Jin met King Gong of Chu three times on the battlefield, and Xizhi went down three times and took off his helmet and saluted before leaving quickly.

During the war, King Gong of Chu sent someone to greet him if he was injured...

I guess I was also broken in my heart and couldn't beat you. I had to get out of the car and take off my hat and salute you. What a mess!

And fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps was politically correct at that time.

Because the defeated party escapes fifty steps, the winning party cannot pursue it anymore, and the loser must go back and rest. Therefore, if it is safe to run fifty steps, it is necessary to run a hundred steps. If it is not sick, what is it?

Just like King Gong of Chu ran away after his failure, Han Juehe gave up decisively when he could catch up. Lu Qi shot King Gong of Chu in the eyes not intentionally.

And it's like chasing it within fifty steps, there are two possibilities.

One is that the defeated party was captured, but those with white hair could not be caught, because white hair means that they are old and must be put back for retirement.

One is to form a deep friendship with the enemy, just like the famous funny war between Jin and Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Battle between Hegemony and Bi.

Both Jin and Chu were determined to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, one went south and the other went north, so the small countries located in the Central Plains became victims of the Jin and Chu battle for hegemony, among which Zheng was the first to bear the brunt.

In order to gain control of the Central Plains, King Zhuang of Chu attacked Zheng again and again. For the same purpose, King Jing of Jin ordered Xun Linfu to lead the three armies of Jin to rescue Zheng as the central army, and compete with Chu.

Before the reinforcements of Jin State arrived in Zheng State, Zheng State's king, Duke Xiang of Zheng, had already "shelf-tight and sheep" to welcome him and surrender.

At this time, the Jin army was stationed by the Yellow River and did not go to Zheng to fight with Chu again. Instead, they wanted to wait until the Chu State withdrew before teaching Zheng a lesson about his behavior of daring to be close to Chu and betraying Jin.

At this time, the generals within the Jin army had conflicts with the generals within the Jin army. Zuo Xian, the central army of the Jin army, was afraid that because of fear of Chu, and let Zheng join Chu, would ruin the prestige of Jin and make the vassal states laugh. So he arbitrarily led a part of the Jin army under his control to cross the Yellow River as the deputy commander of the three armies to prepare for a battle with the Chu army, and abandoned the commander Xun Linfu. In order to avoid the responsibility of him, Xun Linfu had to lead the Jin army to cross the Yellow River.

The two sides of Jin and Chu first conducted a verbal dispute with each other. King Zhuang of Chu sent a young priest to spread the message: Our king has never had any good education and is not very good at speaking. Seeing that Zheng State is not good at doing things, he couldn't help but teach it a lesson. Seeing that the road is injustice and drew his sword and went up. This is the tradition of our Chu State. In order to maintain the order of the vassal states, our two former kings did the same, so today our king sent troops to Zheng State. Our Chu State would never dare to offend Zheng State. You all the nobles and officials of Jin State do not need to stay in Zheng State to defend us.

The general of the Jin State's army, Fan Wu, said: The former King Ping of Zhou said to our Jin State's ancestor Duke Wen of Jin, "If you assist Zheng Ping in the Zhou Dynasty, don't abolish the king's order."

Our Jin and Zheng are both Ji and Zhou kings. The ancient kings of Zhou gave us the responsibility of assisting the Zhou clan. Where is your turn to teach Zheng? Is this still abide by etiquette?

Zheng did not obey the orders of Jin and violated the instructions of the Zhou kings. We, Jin, could teach it ourselves and did not dare to worry about Chu.

The war was about to begin, and King Zhuang of Chu also held a special challenge ceremony: He ordered a chariot to yell at the Jin army, and the drivers on the car were both on the left and on the right.

What’s ridiculous is that the three men, Che Left and Che Right, who were on the Chu army’s chariot, had different opinions on the challenge.

The driver believes that the flags on the car should pass through the enemy camp and return to the enemy camp. The left chess, who is the commander, thinks that he should shoot the arrows, and then hold the reins on behalf of the driver, and then let the driver get out of the car and arrange the horses driving in neatly and come back. This is called a challenge. The right chess believes that he should rush to the enemy camp, capture the enemy, cut off his left ear and come back, which is called a challenge.

The three of them had arguing, so they did all three plans. So the challenge was successful and the Jin army came to fight back.

The Chu army had not used enough arrows, and a deer appeared at this moment. So the Chu army chariot shot the elk with his last arrow on the left, and then the Chu army chariot presented the elk to the Jin army with the right, saying, "It's not the hunting season yet, I guess you are not in sufficient supply either, right?" I took the liberty to ask for the deer to be dedicated to you as food, and you can use it to reward the followers."

The general of the Jin army, who had obtained the elk, happily ordered the retreat.

However, two two-five-children in the Jin army failed to achieve their wishes for status in Jin State, so they had personal grudges and hoped that Jin and Chu could fight, hoping that Jin State would be defeated, so they challenged Chu State again.

Seeing the disagreement in Jin, people thought that this would be taken advantage of by the Chu army and should be prepared for some defense. The Central Army's assistants disagreed with the defense of the Chu army.

The Jin army challenge was successful this time. King Zhuang of Chu personally led the Chu army to fight against the Jin army. From the rooster crow to noon, the Jin army was defeated and fled to the Yellow River to cross the river.

However, because they did not agree to prevent problems before they happened, the Jin army prepared not enough river crossing boats. The defeated Jin army had many fingers cut off because of the competition. On the ship, they could hold them up at will.

The defeated Jin army was in a mess, and the soldiers were trapped in the mud and could not move forward. When the Chu people caught up, they saw that the chariot was broken. Then they taught the Jin army to remove the block in front of the soldiers to continue running.

Then the Jin army continued to run, and the Chu army continued to chase and ran for a few steps, and the horse circled again.

When the Chu people saw that the Jin army's chariot was broken again, they got off again and helped the Jin soldiers repair the chariot and asked him to continue running... With the help of the Chu people, the Jin army finally successfully escaped fifty steps. The Jin army turned around and thanked the Chu army and said, "I am not as good as a big country to run."

The Jin army means that we always win battles, not like you, and have rich experience in escaping. The soldiers of Chu State watched the Jin army run away just fifty steps away...

The Zhongyuan Hall also played the same thing as paying for the prisoners. Not only were the senior generals in the Spring and Autumn Period redeeming the country who were redeemed by their own countries, but the government also encouraged the people to redeem ordinary warriors.

"In the law of Lu, the people of Lu were ministers and concubines from the princes. If someone could redeem them, they would take the gold from the palace."

There should be this passage in the textbooks of junior high schools in later generations, which is the story of Zigong redeeming people. The background is that the State of Lu encourages the people to redeem their country's captives from abroad.

Obviously, Pierre also made a calculation of being redeemed by his family, and then surrendered and lost the bird droppings, but lost his life is his business.

The news of Pierre's surrender was soon passed back to France, but Louis XIV no longer cared about Bird Island when he received the news.
