Chapter 274: Set off for the south and return to seek the full book

In the northeast region of China, the oldest known site is the ancient human in Miaohou Mountain.

Located in the mountain behind the East Temple in Shanchengzi Village, Benxi City, 14 pieces of human cultural relics and 74 kinds of ancient animal fossils were unearthed, and two human teeth and a section of infant femur fossils and a large number of pottery crude stone cultural relics were unearthed in the fifth and sixth layers.

According to the test, it is about 400,000 years ago and about the same time as Peking Man.

Therefore, the ancient cultural sites in Northeast China should basically spread from Benxi to the surroundings, and it was found here that the ancient humans in the mountain behind the temple were able to use fire and tools because they mastered the use of fire, which was the prototype of human civilization.

In this land, there was already a rudimentary form of human civilization more than 400,000 years ago, breaking the misunderstanding of Western scholars about the origin of the Chinese race.

The archaeology of Miaohou Mountain undoubtedly breaks the Western archaeological hypothesis, which proves that the Miaohou Mountain people lived at least 300,000 years ago, and may be the ancestral birthplace of human beings in Northeast China.

In addition, there is a Jinniu Mountain site site in Yingkou, which is an ancient human site 260,000 years ago, but the degree of human evolution at this site is more mature than that of Beijing ape man, and the Dali man in the early stage of Homo sapiens is close.

The two ancient human sites are the oldest human races in Northeast China, and the number of tribes should not be underestimated, but in the end, due to the general environment and the westward migration of Homo sapiens, the civilization in Northeast China declined.

It is now accepted that the homogeneity is of monophysis, and it is believed that modern Homo sapiens appeared in eastern Africa about 20.1 million years ago and entered East Asia at least 60,000 years ago.

The Peking ape and the Northeast Jinniu Mountain Man, and the Miaohou Mountain Man can also support the Chinese ethno-native theory, but they may eventually lose to Homo sapiens in the elimination of the human race, and finally be fused.

The definition of ancient human culture in the academic community is that they can use fire and tools, and the Jinniu Mountain people and the mountain people behind the temple have mastered the use of fire and tools, so it is a favorable counterattack to the origin of a single place.

Although Wang Xu did not study the ethnography back then, these were the basic knowledge that must be learned, so he still has a good understanding of Benxi, Liaoyang, and Anshan Yingkou, which are the central cultural groups of ancient humans.

But I really don't know much about what kind of power was under the jurisdiction of this side at the end of the Warring States period, after all, there are too few exact records about the Northeast.

For example, it is indeed a mystery whether Xiangping City in Liaodong County can govern the Yingkou area, but Wang Xu confirmed it with his own experience that if he wants to completely govern the entire Liaodong County, he needs at least 300,000 people.

Mencius said: "A house of five acres, the tree is mulberry, and fifty people can be clothed." A hundred acres of land, no time is lost, and the family can be hungry.

It shows that at that time, the per capita consumption, 100 acres of land could feed the family, food and clothing were worry-free, and if you ran to the general tax, 50 acres of land could support individuals.

300,000 people, at least 300 square kilometers of arable land, if you assist in fishing and hunting, this distance will more than triple, but combined with the current geographical situation in Liaoyang, there are some difficulties.

Because the flat area that can supply cultivation is covered with too many towering giant trees, and it is too thick and dense, and the rest are potholes or puddles and swamps, or mountain areas, if you want to cultivate, you have to open up mountains and flat land, and the amount of work is too large.

In the later generations, the trees in the Northeast were cut down by the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and it still took 60 years, and nearly two million people developed the Great Northern Wilderness with the support of modern science and technology and machinery.

There are more than 200 square kilometers of cultivated land inside and outside Xiangping City, which is enough for less than 200,000 people in the city to be self-sufficient, but more than 200 square kilometers of cultivated land was reclaimed by ancient humans at least 7,000 years ago, and finally established through the joint efforts of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Dong, Hu Fuyu and other forces.

The ancient tribes of Northeast China were not completely fishing, hunting or nomadic, because the history of farming in Northeast China began at least 2,000 years ago, and then gradually merged westward with the civilization of the two river basins due to climate change.

Donghu and Fuyu are both tribes that have been dealing with the Central Plains since the Xia Dynasty, so the cultivation technology naturally introduced, but due to environmental factors and population, it is impossible to reclaim a large area of cultivated land, so it has become a semi-nomadic and semi-cultivated people.

In the past 7,000 years, Xiangping City has been the main human reproduction center in Liaodong County, because Xiangping City is the most abundant area in the entire Northeast region, and the two rivers of Taizi River and Hunhe River can feed hundreds of thousands of people.

But further east, north, south, it's really a little too difficult.

Logging is an important problem.

Especially to the south of the Liaodong Peninsula, it is mainly composed of arbor forests, Korean pine, larch, tabuliformis pine, spruce, these are basically 20 meters high DBH more than 1 meter of giant tree species.

These tens of millions of years of giant trees are like barriers, blocking the way for ancient humans in Northeast China to reclaim and advance.

These giant trees were as helpless to the ancient humans who did not have the tools of iron felling at that time, like the steel bars that later generations used saws to deal with.

As a military material, bronze is not easily used to make tree cutting tools, and the cost of cutting Korean pine with bronze hardness is too high, and there were no sawtooth professional logging tools at that time, if you want to cut down a red pine tree, you must at least have hundreds of young people, and you can only cut down one for half a month with a stone axe.

In the entire Northeast region, this kind of Korean pine number of thousands of years, or even more than 10,000 years exists, and if you want to reclaim cultivated land or build roads, it is difficult to climb to the sky, so it is better to walk along a path along the mountains and forests.

Therefore, it is too difficult for Xiangping City to govern the entire Liaodong County.

Moreover, the population of Yan was less than one million in the later period, and the development of the central area of Yan was not perfect, and Qinhuangdao was in the hands of Donghu, not to mention the management of Anshan, Panjin, Yingkou, Jinzhou and other places.

But since it is recorded that these places were once captured by Qin Kai and belonged to the Yan State, then there must be several central cities, Wang Xu only needs to push over a little bit, occupy these central cities, and then connect them with dots, he can form a lone bamboo territory outside the Shanhai Pass, and then slowly look for Fuyu Wo Jizi Korea and other forces in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, it is necessary to help Xiangping City clean up the giant trees within a radius of twenty miles.

The warriors of Lone Bamboo were all born in logging and digging coal, so when they killed the enemy on the battlefield, sometimes they were not used to using long swords, so they directly wielded the military shovel to kill.

So outside Xiangping City, the sound of giant trees falling to the ground and shaking the mountains continued all night, and the residents of the entire Xiangping City did not sleep well, and many children climbed the city wall to watch the brightly lit logging team outside cut down trees all night.

For these children, these towering trees used to be an impassable barrier, and they could not imagine any power to cut down these giant trees that could not even look up and could not see the crown.

Weak n their imagination.

But when they saw with their own eyes something that they couldn't even think of happening right in front of their eyes, it was as if a lock had been opened by a key, and something new was injected into the minds of these children.

Zhang Tang didn't sleep all night, he followed the logging team out of the city, watching the lonely bamboo warriors slash at the giant trees with those peerless swords, the sound of the blade cutting into the trunk was not harsh, but it made him feel that his scalp was numb and his heart was shrinking.

It's just a bunch of losers who don't know what to call it!

Such a divine weapon is actually used for logging, which is even worse than the wine forest meat pond of the king of Shang, and the heirs of the Shang Dynasty are really in the same line, arrogant and lascivious!

No wonder the country will die!

The pain and jealousy made Zhang Tang unrecognizable, coupled with the heavy wind and humidity in the forest, and the temperature was repeated in summer, so he had a fever.

Wang Xu went to look before leaving, and the old man was already burned.

"I'll leave it to you." Wang Xu patted Mo Wu's fat face and got into the carriage.

Mo Wu sniffed and ran all the way after the team, sending Wang Xu out of the city.

The lone bamboo army set off again, but this time the carriage was the majority, Wang Xu took away the grain trucks in Xiangping City, the soldiers who were tired all night last night lay on the grain trucks to make up for sleep, and the war horses lined up in a long line, and walked south into the thousand-year-old road that no one cared about for decades, and it has been blocked by fallen leaves and mud and rocks for thousands of years.

With the permission of their elders, the children of Xiangping City all ran out of the city to see the giant trees cut down last night, and their little heads poked out of the giant trees like small mountains, looking at this team with countless shocks with curiosity like little monkeys, and at the same time, they had a little more yearning and curiosity about the direction of the army.

As everyone knows, this yearning and curiosity changed the fate of their lives.

The soldiers of the Lan Gang army lined up on the sidelines, dressed in armor.

"Go back and have a good rest, and when the road is repaired, go home." Wang Xu lifted the curtain and smiled at the Lan soldiers.

"Lonely bamboo Bailu, the ministers are around." The Lan soldiers got up again and saluted solemnly, dusting their hands with their hands, looking solemn, bowing nine times and bowing three times, and sending off the army.

Wang Xu nodded and smiled: "Glory and glory." ”

The captives of Buyeo Wofu, who followed behind the army, now have any disobedience towards Guzhu Jun**, especially yesterday when they saw that these people were able to cut down the ancestral trees one by one, and they were even more frightened, and several of them were scared to death overnight.

Both Buyeo and Wofu were born in this vast forest, and for them, these trees were their ancestral parents, because the firewood they lived on, the birds they hunted, the rain that sheltered them from the wind, and the shelter they used to hide from the fleeing beasts were all these ancestral trees.

Therefore, these towering giant trees are the protectors given to them by the ancestral gods.

They never imagined that these protector gods, who even the king of the forest, Kandahan, could not shake in the slightest, were so vulnerable in the hands of these people, they could not help but be frightened, and even thought that these people were the spokesmen of the demon gods.
