Extra 4. Worlds that have been visited by time-travelers (1)
1. Northern Song Dynasty plane
Autumn of 1149 AD, Mobei, Kedun City
Compared with the simple earth city that the time travelers visited more than 20 years ago, today's Kodun City has become much more prosperous and magnificent. A ring of rammed earth-coated brick city walls stretches for nearly ten miles, and the city gate is three feet high. The city is also crowded with people. There are beautiful markets, wide streets, noisy squares, row upon row of houses everywhere, and in the center of the city is a luxurious palace belonging to the Emperor of Liao.
As for outside the city walls of Ketun City, there is no longer just endless grassland, but neat irrigation ditches and patches of vegetable gardens. Its abundant grain is not only enough to supply the residents of the city, but there is also a sufficient amount of surplus grain every year, which can be sold as far away as the savage tribes in the Western Regions and the Far North Forest, and even back to the Han Dynasty south of the Great Wall. This allowed the various tribes in Mobei to live a wealthy life that they had never dared to imagine before.
[Seven-day fast-growing wheat] and [Edelweiss alfalfa] left by travelers in the past have completely changed the social ecology of the Monan and Mobei grasslands, turning them from nomadic areas to farming areas—— The former can produce a large amount of grain, while the latter can preserve water and soil and restore soil fertility.
Since more than 20 years ago, the former nomads on the grassland have only needed to plant several rounds of "seven-day fast-growing wheat" in early spring every year, and then replant with cold-resistant "edelweiss alfalfa". Excellent pasture with the ability to fix nitrogen can provide a large amount of organic matter to the soil and restore fertility to the soil. At the same time, the land can always be covered with vegetation to avoid soil erosion and desertification. At the same time, alfalfa is also an excellent livestock feed. Relying on this high-quality forage, grassland residents can continue to raise a large number of livestock even after they stop nomadic herding.
Today, the Mobei grassland with Kodun City as the center has become a veritable fortress in the south of the Yangtze River. The endless flow of caravans brought together various commodities such as spices and jewelry from the Western Regions, silks and ceramics from the Central Plains, furs and herbs from Liaodong, and countless wealth overflowed from the transactions, allowing the rulers of this country to The Liao Empire flourished again in a short period of time.
At the same time, after switching to settled farming, the lives of the grassland residents also underwent earth-shaking changes, and they quickly moved closer to the Central Plains people in the south: through frequent exchanges, they gradually learned to use coal and straw instead of cattle and sheep. Using excrement to make fire for cooking began to be done regularly like the Han people Bathing, rinsing clothes and eating grains as staple food, growing and cooking vegetables, taking off fur robes in summer and putting on cotton and linen clothes, and even sending children to school like the Han people... Today's Ketun City looks like It is no longer much different from the Song Dynasty cities south of the Great Wall.
The travelers who generously took out the two high-yielding agricultural gods, [Seven-day Quick-growing Wheat] and [Edelweiss Alfalfa], and taught farming techniques to the grassland nomads, causing such drastic changes in this land, have also become The whole Mobei grassland, and even half of the Eastern world, the food, clothing, parents, and living Buddhas of thousands of families were worshiped and worshiped with great piety by the people of all ethnic groups. Although today's Ketun City is dotted with temples of various religions. But the most popular place among them will always be the Taoist temple where the giant statue of Doraemon is enshrined, left behind by the "immortal" Guo Jing.
The palace hall in Ketun City was bustling with people, and the flashes of armor and swords could be seen everywhere. The master of the revival of the Liao Empire in this plane's history, and the founding monarch of Western Liao in another period of history, Yelu Dashi, was wearing a military uniform, looking down at the map on the table with excitement on his face.
Twenty years of hardship have made his temples gray, but the talent and strategy hidden in his heart still keep him in good spirits.
In the past twenty years, Yelu Dashi has been vigorously fighting against the remaining Jurchen enemies year after year, and defeated the invasions of Goryeo and Xixia. Finally, he finally succeeded in restoring all the territory of the Liao Kingdom outside the Great Wall in the past, except for the Yan territory south of the Great Wall. Yunliu Prefecture was recaptured by the Song Dynasty.
On the other hand, he also worked hard internally, promoting new varieties and agricultural work, encouraging the raising of livestock, building water conservancy channels, vigorously expanding trade routes, and improving the bureaucratic system, so that the once extremely dilapidated Liao Kingdom could once again flourish. On the right track, and gradually abundant.
Under his rule, the Liao Kingdom already had many prosperous cities, fertile farmland, smooth trade routes, and rich warehouses. Although the territory on the map shrank slightly, its population, military strength, and national strength increased compared with previous years. A lot. However, Yelu Dashi was not satisfied with this, but set a more ambitious goal for himself - to go south to the Great Wall, capture Yanjing, drink from the Yellow River, and be famous in the annals of history!
Of course, this goal is not easy to achieve. Although the power of the Song Dynasty has gradually declined over the years, the emperor indulged in cultivating immortals, indulged in excessive debauchery, and neglected government affairs; the party struggle between the upper and lower levels of the court was fierce, the government was chaotic, local exploitation was brutal, rebellions were common, and people's livelihood was in decline - the time traveler personally destroyed the Southern Expedition The Jin Army certainly allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to escape the catastrophe of the "Jingkang Shame". But it also laid the root of the disaster, allowing this ailing court to continue to retain all the chronic diseases accumulated over the past hundred years since the founding of the country, and they have become more and more serious as time goes by...
However, no matter what, compared to the Liao Kingdom, which had not been revived for a long time and had a weak foundation, the current Song Dynasty was still a behemoth that was difficult to chew. In the past, when the Liao State controlled the sixteen states of Youyun and had a condescending position, it was unable to overthrow the Song State in one fell swoop. Now that the Yanshan line has been regained by the Song Dynasty, although the Song army is unable to leave the fortress, if it relies on the Great Wall to defend it, it will still be much more difficult to attack than those small countries in the Western Regions.
Therefore, although he was determined to manage the Central Plains, if the time did not come, Yelv Dashi would not dare to act rashly and make such a huge gamble that would cost the country.
This time, Yelu Dashi left Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing and came to Kedun City. He was originally planning to go on an expedition to the Western Regions to plunder slaves and goods. However, shortly after he arrived at Keyun City, an urgent piece of information came from the south of the Great Wall, which instantly ignited his deep ambition!
"...The sky palace left by the immortal in Bianliang actually fell and collapsed late at night, destroying most of Bianliang City? And the royal family and court of the Song Dynasty were destroyed overnight?...This, could this mean that God has abandoned the Song Dynasty? Is the Tianshui Zhao family going to change the owner of Zhongyuan? ”
——Just like any industrial product in the world has a shelf life, the "Cloud Palace" built above Bianliang by Doraemon using [Cloud Condensing Spray] is not an eternal thing. It can last for more than 20 years without any maintenance, which is considered a very good product.
But the problem is that the ancients in the Northern Song Dynasty did not have the ability to maintain and repair it, and they did not think about this problem at all. Instead, they regarded it as an immortal mansion that automatically maintained itself. So after years of disrepair, it finally led to the final tragedy...
——In this way, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was caught off guard and smashed into a pulp in his sleep. He didn't even have time to put on the [Superman Suit]. Almost all the princes, princesses, courtiers and concubines in Bianliang City were spared from this extremely large-scale incident of falling objects from high altitude.
The few remaining princes and princes of the Song Dynasty who were lucky enough to stay in suburban manors immediately began to form gangs and try to get their hands on the throne after escaping from the ruins of Bianliang, Tokyo. Since the center of the imperial court no longer exists, these princes and princes have no choice but to recruit military generals and commanders from various places as foreign aid. As a result, foreign troops from all walks of life entered the capital one after another, causing chaos in the capital of the Song Dynasty. It is said that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have begun to fight each other!
For the Song Dynasty, this was naturally a terrible disaster; but for Yelu Dashi, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, it was a God-given opportunity!
"... Now that the autumn is high and the horses are fat, the soldiers are well-prepared and the Central Plains has no master, it is time to command a hundred thousand soldiers and march south for a game!"
After confirming the authenticity of the above-mentioned information from the Central Plains, Yelu Dashi stood up confidently, pulled out the sword given to him by the Immortal Guo Jing, pointed it far to the south, "...quickly summoned the leaders of all ministries and ordered them to come to the desert." People from the north, ride on the Great Wall with me and hunt the Central Plains!”
At the same time, Yue Fei, who was Youyan's envoy at the time, also ordered the mobilization of the entire army in his jurisdiction and prepared for war. However, he did not respond to a certain Song prince or prince and sent troops south to Bianliang to seek for Conglong's support. However, he continued to hold on to the Great Wall, preparing to face the attack of the Liao cavalry.
"...Now that the Central Plains is in chaos, the imperial court has collapsed, and the artifact has no owner, not only the grass bandits from all walks of life are bound to wreak havoc, but the Khitans beyond the Great Wall are bound to invade the south!"
Facing the questions from his subordinates, Yue Fei, who had become the highest commander in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, replied like this. This once handsome and handsome young general has now been polished into a middle-aged rough man by the wind in the north of Saibei, but his eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and his demeanor is even more calm and confident, "...what are you thinking now, how can you fly?" I don’t know? However, although the power of following the dragon is tempting, if it is entrusted to someone else, it will be doomed. Have you ever thought clearly about it? ? What's more, the families of our soldiers have settled down in Youyan Prefecture. Once our army leaves the country and the Hu horses break through the border and wreak havoc in the countryside, and Yanyun falls into the hands of the Hu people again, what will happen to us? Are you worthy of the elders in my hometown? Please give me a helping hand to prevent the Khitan Huqi from entering the Central Plains again!"
But in the deep mountains of western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, the leaders of the Mingjiao rebel army were celebrating. Under the encirclement and suppression by the imperial army, the Mingjiao uprising army suffered successive defeats. The strongholds they once held were defeated one by one. Food, wages and supplies were increasingly scarce, and they were on the verge of collapse. However, at this juncture, the bad news of the "Celestial Collapse" in Bianliang suddenly came. The officers and soldiers on the two Zhejiang Roads suddenly felt as if they were bereaved and at a loss. The military morale was extremely chaotic, and the supply of food and salary was immediately interrupted. The army commander Han Shizhong also had to retreat hastily, allowing the Mingjiao army to escape the catastrophe.
"...It's really a blessing from God! This is the destiny of our Holy Religion, and the ancestors of Meng Religion are in heaven to protect the Holy Religion and turn it into a safe place!"
"...the ignorant and treacherous officials in Bianliang have really made the world angry and resentful, and even the gods are going to punish them!"
"...Now is a good opportunity for our holy religion to show its great ambitions. I also ask all the leaders to unite sincerely and continue to bring peace to the troubled times and save the world!"
In addition, the Dongting navy, which had been persisting in the uprising on Jinghu South Road for more than ten years, also took the opportunity to launch a massive attack and swept across both the north and south roads of Jinghu. There was also the Emperor of Xixia, who had just been beaten violently by Yelu Dashi in the Hetao area not long ago. After hearing the news, he also set off to march eastward again in an attempt to peek into Guanzhong
At this point, a peak showdown between the famous king of the Liao Kingdom and the military god of the Song Dynasty is about to ignite at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain. And a world-wide fight for the dragon, a bloody drama of heroes vying for the throne, has also begun on the land of the Central Plains. As for who will win in the end and who will own the tripod, it is still unclear...
