Chapter 4123: Perseverance

Historically, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Deng family migrated south to Jingchu due to the Nanyang turmoil. Considering the situation of their own family, the Wan family went south with their brother Deng, who was also the founding marquis.
In the end, the Wan family has only two young men left in this generation, which is very different from the situation in the Zhen family where only daughters are left. There are several of them, and this branch will be finished by changing to a direct lineage.
The biggest problem with the founding princes of Liu Xiu's enfeoffment is that their end is the end of the direct line, the end of the direct line, the end of the collateral line, and the end of the branch line, and they have no inheritance.
For example, the Wan family is the direct line. After the death of the main family, another collateral line, Wan Gong, was established to inherit the title. However, here is the problem. The Wan Gong family died and only Wan Peng was left. The reason why He Wan Zhen was extremely careful was that they had already excommunicated the country once because of the extinction of the heir, and if they became extinct again, it would be a big trouble.
In fact, most of the descendants of the founding marquis of the Eastern Han Dynasty encountered basically the same situation as the Wan clan, where the direct line, the direct line, the near branch, the collateral line, and the peripheral branch were all destroyed.
Eat the dead? What a joke, the descendants of the Founding Marquis are extinct. As a branch, if they can have a descendant and inherit the title, it is not called extinction, but it is called survival.
"The Analects of Confucius Yao said": "Rise and destroy the country, follow the peerless world, lift up the people, and the people of the world return to the heart."
What I'm talking about is to inherit the legal system of the princes well. These days, the adopted son has the right of inheritance. When the princes are dead, they must be desperate to want the entire adopted son to inherit his title, at least he will not become a lonely soul after death. Ghost, don't have incense to enjoy. .
However, the adopted sons of these years are basically relatives who have a certain blood relationship and relationship. Even if Liu Bei in the official history accepts Kou Feng as his adopted son, there is a very important fact that Kou Feng is the descendant of Kou Xun, the founder of the country, and his grandmother The eldest princess, the absolute direct descendant of the Han family.
Here we have to mention the Kou family, the eight founding princes of the Kou family, including Kou Xun's younger brother, nephew, nephew, etc., what a huge family.
Theoretically speaking, their descendants, collaterals, branches, and divisions add up to tens of thousands of people, but in fact, after the Kou family has experienced two hundred years, the descendants of the eight founding lords plus their branches, collaterals, etc. Wait, only Kou Jun is left.
The concubine of this family? Branch? Collateral? Sorry to stop dreaming, not at all.
To a certain extent, the Wan family is actually a little better than the Kou family. The Wan family has at least one distant family. Although it is only Wan Zhen, this is also a precious substitute. In case Wan Peng dies, Wan Zhen adopted the family's direct line on the spot.
This is also the reason why Wan Zhen enjoys a complete family education. There are only two left, and all resources are overflowing, and the Kou family is so miserable that they teach the art of war to the descendants of their guards, and learn conventional knowledge with their direct descendants. It's not all because of resource overflow, and there is no hope of growth, so we can only grapple with it.
This is enough to see the evil door of Emperor Guangwu.
Of course, that was a tragic situation in the official history. This time, the overall situation of the world did not collapse, and the Wan family did not have the meaning of leaving home. He brought some Xiliang iron cavalry, squatted under the Cong Ridge, and stretched out his hand to Central Asia. After all, there are four cubs, and hope is in sight.
As for going to the next level, the Wan family basically gave up. In this case, there are only so many people in the family, and it is already a blessing from the ancestors to be alive.
"That's it. Let's do the round-the-world training with us. Anyway, you've been with us for so long, and you're a mature veteran, so you won't be beaten to death in general." Li Jue said casually.
If he had taken Wan Zhen with him a few years ago, even if Wan Zhen followed up secretly, Li Jue would probably be extremely irritable if Wan Zhen was finished without him knowing.
Li Jue was an iron-blooded man. His nephews, cousins, and nephews followed him to the battlefield, and even several people died in battle.
Li Jue was very happy about this, and the heartache returned, but the general was inevitably killed in battle, and even he was ready to die on the battlefield one day, so Li Jue would not stay in the past.
But Wan Zhen and Wan Peng were different. When Li Jue realized the essence of the matter, Li Jue felt that if it was not necessary, Wan Peng and Wan Zhen could stay as far away from the battlefield as possible, and don't die by their own side.
But now, Wan Peng has four cubs, and Wan Zhen is finished because of chasing his dream, and the Wan family is just a pity for a few times, and there will be no such feeling of gnashing of hatred.
After all, for an aristocratic family, extinction means the loss of all restraints, and there are no rules and constraints. Anyway, it is definitely a lonely ghost. It is possible to go to if you are in a bad mood before you go on the road. There is no fear whatsoever.
Because of the so-called clan annihilation, for the previous Kou family, Wan family, Wu family and other families that are about to become extinct, it is a fart. Take Kou Jun, his mother died, his son died, and he was sure that he had no chance. After giving birth to offspring, there is nothing to be afraid of, and dare to do whatever you want.
At most, it is nothing but a death. The so-called non-permanent property has no perseverance, and it also comes from here. The constant property here refers to the concept of home rather than private property, and without the shackles of this thing, in fact People basically live only for themselves.
As a social creature, the concept of collective is very important, but when the meaning of continuation is lost, there is basically no basis for fighting for the future of society and for the ideal of human beings.
The so-called future has no me and no continuation of me. Why should I pursue the so-called future and not destroy this future is enough to explain my moral level.
It is also very dangerous for the major families, because the extinct heirs are going to the end of the road, but the families that still have huge resources before the end are very dangerous, because as long as they are willing, they can unscrupulously destroy the future of other families that have invested a lot of resources.
In the same way, Li Jue, who had attained the same height, clearly realized that staying away from those families that were about to become extinct was definitely the correct proposal, so before, he had kept Wan Peng and Wan Zhen at a distance, and he should not die around him.
From this point of view, if something happened to Wan Peng, the Wan family would definitely not mind letting Li Yuan go. Anyway, the family will be wiped out. Who is afraid of who? I used to be afraid of your father because of chaos If you come, you will exterminate the family, but now you are sure to exterminate the clan, not to mention that you are just Li You's daughter, what's there to be afraid of even if Li You comes in person?
Knife handle? It seems that our ten thousand family's knife is not good? Even if the knife is not good, there is absolutely no problem in splashing your blood.
As for the defeat, the big deal is that the whole family will die. Anyway, horizontal and vertical are also dead. There is nothing to be afraid of. At most, it is just to speed up this inevitable process.
But the situation is completely different now. The Wan family has new blood, not to mention Wan Zhen, the backup son. Even Wan Peng, it is normal for him to die on the road of pursuing his dream, so Li Jue also has no generals. Wan Zhen was and wanted to let Wan Peng send it back.
"It happened that I wrote an overview of the travel notes for the three of them, recording the local customs and so on. I think I am very good at this." Wan Zhen said with a smile, "When I was very young, I was confined to the family house. At that time, I had an idea that if one day, I can jump out of the family, I must write down everything I see and know."
When Wan Zhen was first born, the Wan family had four or five children. The then patriarch, Mendeting Hou Wangong, raised all the children of the family together and provided the best protection. As a result, Wan Peng and Wan Zhen lived past the age of five. Wan Gong couldn't take the blow, and died shortly after.
The only three remaining members of the branch, whose uncles are almost out of five clothes, quickly took over the Wan family with a large group of women. It's a branch. In Wanjia's words, there are only two people who can be divided into a fart!
Therefore, before the age of sixteen, Wan Zhen enjoyed the same treatment as Wan Peng, and he had never even left his family's house. Wan Peng only came out with a knife around his neck when he could go out.
Wan Zhen's character is relatively weak, and his son-in-law went out to the battlefield. Even if the Wan family gave Dong Zhuo a lot of gifts, Dong Zhuo must ensure that the news is smooth and send Wan Peng home immediately after the war. The remaining elders were also worried about this, so they focused their attention on Wan Zhen, which was why Wan Zhen could not even go out earlier.
But it is also for this reason that Wan Zhen has only read a lot more books than Kou Jun.
The only pity is that Wan Zhen can't learn it even after reading the military book, but this does not prevent Wan Zhen from accumulating a very strong knowledge, until the four cubs of his cousin Wan Peng successfully lived to be five years old, Wan Zhen Being released, he was free.
When his uncle told him that he could go out and do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't rebel, Wan Zhen was very confused. He relied on the physical fitness of Wan's family to avoid his accidental death when he was a teenager, and got into Xiliang. Among the iron cavalry, he found his goal again.
Wan Zhen picked up his teenage dream once again—walking out of the small shackles of Wanjia's house and recording everything he saw.
"Then you can write." Li Jue casually patted Wan Zhen's back and said, just like throwing away a burden, he didn't take it to heart.
However, what Li Jue didn't know was that Wan Zhen, who raised his hand and started to record these customs, went on the road from an ordinary family member to an ancient geographer with a long-standing reputation.
According to the official history, after the Wan family moved south, Wan Zhen, who was in Wu State, was unable to travel to the southern country because of his background, so he could only collect books from all over the world, relying on Guishuang, Zhenla, Langyaxiu and other merchants from the southern kingdom to travel to Wu State. The treasures of the species were recorded and described one by one, and the first geography book "Nanzhou Foreign Objects" was written specifically for overseas research.
The great thing about this book is that it not only wrote about the Indo-China Peninsula, Guishuang, but even recorded parts of Africa and Rome. More importantly, this thing has extremely high accuracy, even to the Song Dynasty, Taiping Yu The records in it are referenced when viewing.
To put it simply, this thing is the undisclosed part collected in later generations, with extremely high accuracy and authenticity. In Wan Zhen's investigation and evidence collection, my professional report was better than those of the guys in the back, but it's a pity that I haven't been there.
However, this life is different. Wan Zhen has been wandering around Central Asia for several times. Although he was almost hacked to death by Central Asian bandits during this period, he has truly brutalized his body and was able to record a lot of things.
In addition, I also followed Li Jue and others around Africa for a few large circles, even if it was a recipe for Guo Si's travel notes of the Meiyang Hou Empire, I don't know what it is, but it is very smooth to write, Wan Zhen The things that can be written are far more than the middle and old age of the official history.
"Wait after eating, I guess the ship is coming soon. I heard that there is still a piece of food in the south, and I don't know what delicious food is there!" Guo Si said excitedly.
"Don't worry, Wenqin Leo's group is still very reliable, and they should send the war horse over soon, but are we really going to transport the war horse there?" Fan Chou asked casually, but he said, There was some hesitation.
The Belshulun horse is an upgraded and enhanced version of the Arabian horse. It has all the advantages of the Arabian horse, and its endurance, physical strength, and output are extremely amazing, but they are going to a new map next. You know, there are places where there are no horses to eat.
"Could it be that Vincenlio would send the warhorse to Cong Ridge?" Li Jue pouted and said.
Although Wingenio's service attitude is good, it is because the Han Dynasty is strong enough, and the three Li Jue are strong enough. It's true that Wingenio is not Ma Chao. When it's okay, hello and me, something really happened. Now, Vincenlio is not polite.
"This is unrealistic." Guo Si said with a pouted lip.
What is an unplanned wandering trio, that's all, the three brothers didn't think about these issues at all when they received the Belshurama.
If the three brothers didn't speak at that time, after two years of recalling this incident, Wingenio would definitely make up for it. For this, Rome is really not worth embarrassing.
What's more, the two major legions agreed at the beginning. If they go back, the tenth knight will be embarrassed. Although the Belshuram horse is expensive, it is the same thing for the tenth knight. They are now upgraded to riding a nightmare. , also care about what Belshurama.
But now that Li Jue and the others had asked for a Belshurama before they left, it would be absolutely impossible to ask Vincenlio to help raise them.
After all, this is already a slap in the face. Even if there is a reason for returning the original gift, where will the tenth knight's face go.
