Chapter 2 is not the same as the Great Song
Li Zhe, in his previous life, was a sling, but in this life, he somehow suddenly wore the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and this Song Dynasty was completely different from what he remembered.
The current Li Zhe, the identity of the Great Song Dynasty Tianzhuzhou overseas Ling'an King, under the jurisdiction of a small feudal lord on the island under the jurisdiction of the Dingyuan Prefecture government, the so-called Tianzhuzhou, that is, the 21st century of the Indian Peninsula, and Dingyuanzhou, is a large island located in the south of Tianzhuzhou.
Later generations only need to look up at the world map of the 21st century to know that it is the island country located at the exit of the Strait of Malacca - Sri Lanka.
However, in this era, whether it is Sri Lanka or the Indian Peninsula, most of these familiar names have already been taken under the rule of the Song Dynasty and become the land of the Great Song Dynasty, with different names.
It is said that since being driven out of the mainland by the Northern Yuan Dynasty hundreds of years ago, the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty had to change their thinking and turn their eyes overseas.
In the following hundreds of years, the Song people who were driven out of the mainland followed the sea route, slash and burn, and gradually expanded their footsteps to the other side of the sea, sowing the fire of Han civilization here, and creating a brilliant oriental navigation era pioneered by Westerners in history.
At that time, the vast world around the ocean of Nanyang, Tianzhu and East Africa was almost still similar to a blank, and some places may have some early feudal civilizations, while more were still in the era of barbaric primitive tribes.
It's just that compared with the Age of Discovery of the Europeans in later generations, the colonization movement of the Great Song Dynasty in this era was more thorough, not only conquering this land by force, but also completely conquering the people of this wild land culturally, completely completing the replacement of the entire civilization and becoming the real master of this world.
The Age of Discovery also completely revived the Chinese civilization that escaped from the mainland, and the money and wealth of the Great Voyage trade also fed back to the Great Song Dynasty, making the Great Song Dynasty, which was driven out of the mainland and survived overseas, become strong overseas again
In this era, the entire South Sea and the Indian Ocean were completely turned into an inland sea by the Song people, and Oceania also became the fetters of the Song people. So much so that hundreds of years later, the Great Song Dynasty has become an out-and-out maritime empire, and the history of the other world that Li Zhe originally remembered has long been changed beyond recognition, and there is no shadow at all.
Today's Tianzhu Continent was taken by the Song people as early as a hundred years ago, becoming one of the three major hereditary feudal domains overseas, under His Royal Highness King An of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and another historical Sri Lanka, also called Ceylon, was opened up as a military port by the Southern Song Dynasty Navy as early as a military port, and dozens of feudal lords of all sizes were established on the island as a naval barrier.
Li Zhe, the traverser, is a small feudal lord in this era, parentheses, or the future. According to the inheritance tradition of the hereditary lord of military merit in the Song Dynasty, before he officially inherited the title, he also needed to join the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Anwang Domain to crusade against Beihu and make military merits with his own hands, so that he could really start his lord career.
Although, it's just a small baron, but anyway, it's a lucky start.
The Great Song Dynasty, the Celestial Empire, the Great Song Dynasty of this era is really qualified to be called the Celestial Empire!
I have been in this era for a while, and after Li Zhe really understands this era and the land he is in, he can't help but feel such a sigh in his heart!
The Song Dynasty of this era was open, enterprising, grandiose, and full of courage, because from beginning to end, there was the old enemy of Meng Yuan on the mainland, so the center of the Song Dynasty has always maintained its enterprising spirit and competitiveness, and it is a well-deserved overlord on the ocean in this era. The overseas feudal policy that had to be done as a last resort at the beginning of the new dynasty has also proved to be the most suitable for this era, especially the overseas colonization period at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, which is very different from the nest Song Na in another time and space.
Although overseas feudalism inevitably weakened the control and influence of the central monarchs and ministers over overseas feudal domains, it enhanced the Song people's enterprising ambition a hundred times, and had a natural charm in uniting people's hearts.
For their own fiefdom, in order to pass it on to the descendants of the clan and the living space under the sky, the Song people changed the timid and cowardly appearance of the previous dynasty, and almost all of them became fierce people like Wei Qinghuo to get sick.
Even the original old enemy on the continent, the invincible Mengyuan Iron Cavalry in history, has now been re-hit on the mainland by the army of the Celestial Empire, which has fought in the south of the Yangtze River for decades, and has been defeated and retreated.
However, the Mengyuan of this era is no longer the Mengyuan of another time and space, and according to the evolutionary viewpoint, competition promotes the progress of civilization, which is an unbreakable truth.
Since the Mengyuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains in this era, it has not been a monopoly, but has been constantly degenerating and progressing in the competition with the Song people, and the Song people of the new era have been fighting for hundreds of years, from the twelfth century to the current seventeenth century, during which there have been many tragic wars.
This war not only promoted the innovation and replacement of the Northern Yuan Dynasty from the nomadic civilization of the steppe to the agricultural civilization, but also gave birth to a new civilization that integrated the advantages of the two civilizations and was full of competitiveness.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty has successfully inherited the scientific and technological and cultural traditions of the Song people's cultivation and warfare civilization in all aspects, and has continuously absorbed the achievements of the Song people's overseas exploration, and evolved into a country that is stronger than the original time and space.
First-class Mongolian people are second-class, third-class Han people are fourth-class southern! Naturally, such an almost joking country cannot be recreated in history.
On the one hand, it was the conquest of the sea, the development of the natives, and on the other hand, the war with the Beihu, and in this way, a new empire was derived from this history, from Northeast Asia to West Asia on the vast continent, from the seaside of Goguryeo in Liaodong to the desert Hanhai in Central Asia, the struggle between the Song and Mongolian people for hundreds of years constituted the mainstream of the history of this era.
This is far more ambitious and far-reaching than the crusade wars in which rookies peck at each other along the border between Asia and Europe.
So that even now, in the second year of Jingxing in the New Yuan Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty and the year 1630 of the Western Christian calendar, the Europeans who dominated the original history could only nest at the door of their own homes in remote areas, and could not dominate the world.
Almost all of the hereditary officer families like Li Zhe grew up in such battles.
This kind of Song people who opened the era of colonization of the Great Voyage are by no means the nest Song in Li Zhe's impression in his previous life, and the overseas Song people advocate pioneering, pay attention to martial arts, and the style of martial arts is comparable to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and may even surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Therefore, in this context, if Li Zhe wants to attack the lord, he must find a way to seize military merits, otherwise he will be looked down upon, and he is even likely to be obstructed by other lords in all aspects when inheriting the rights of the territory, which has also become a tacit rule among the overseas feudal clans of the Song people in the new era.
