Chapter 30: Heading to Taihang Mountain
Bicycles are amazing things, at least in the eyes of Zhang He and Gao Ran. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Compared with the war horse, it is probably not high enough, and the speed largely depends on the physical strength and strength of the operator. However, it also has the advantages that the war horse does not have, one is that as long as the operator still has physical strength, then it can move infinitely.
In terms of speed, it is faster than running, but it is more labor-intensive; In terms of stability, it is also more stable than the war horse going north; What is rare is that it will not be afraid of fire, will not be frightened by loud sounds, and can even operate with both hands if proficient.
Bikes, and really amazing stuff!
Looking at the curious and excited expressions of these two new little brothers, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. It's a pity that there are no motorcycles in the supermarket, otherwise I'm afraid that it can directly destroy their three views.
What Zhang He said is indeed reasonable, in this period when there is no way to buy a war horse, the bicycle is the best alternative. It would be nice to have a bicycle army on that, but the only problem is that parts replacement and tire maintenance are a big problem.
In the conditions of the present stage, there are simply no conditions for the formation of such troops.
That is, I don't have the means to travel, and I haven't learned to ride a horse, so I ride a bicycle. On the contrary, it was the thirteen-year-old Long Er, this kid got a war horse, as if he was a baby, and he had no interest in bicycles at all.
In the past two days, Chen Tao has had a more comprehensive understanding of this era.
For example, the total population of China in this time and space is actually more than ten times that of his time and space. In other words, there are 500 million people in the country, and this is still on the surface, but in fact, concealing the population and not reporting it is a common method for all families.
According to Zhang He, the actual population of China is about 700 million.
The reason is also very speechless, that is, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the crusade against the Xiongnu was only once, and 100,000 troops were sent out, and the result was that the Huns were almost defeated, and then they were fully recuperated.
The population swelled rapidly, and the most important thing was that Liu Ju succeeded to the throne smoothly, and carried out his prestige in the Western Regions, inheriting his father's business and improving the people's livelihood. Later generations of Han kings were very virtuous, and there was no usurpation of the throne by Wang Mang, and there was no establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, Liu Xiu still became the emperor, and there were also 28 generals of Yuntai by his side at that time, which further subdued the Xianbei and Qiang people.
Up to now, it is true that the later generations of emperors are a bit unscrupulous, especially Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, who have also successfully ascended the throne, but they are also as notoriously mediocre as in history. However, the foundation laid by the ancestors is very strong, with a population of 500 million, and Jiangdong has actually begun to build, Wuxi Man and Nanzhongman have also been pacified, and Jiangdong is much more prosperous than at this time in history.
Before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was killed, Wang Fen had already committed suicide by plotting against him. Coincidentally, it was Han Fu who was newly appointed, and the seat of Jizhou was also moved from Gaoyi in Changshan to Yecheng. As for the original administrative office, because of its proximity to Julu County, it was almost destroyed during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Due to the large population of China, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was even more powerful, with tens of millions of people participating in the uprising, but it was violently suppressed in the end. Later, with the emergence of the cataclysm, the tens of millions of dead and injured people became tens of millions of zombies, so that Yanzhou and Jizhou almost became dead.
Fortunately, the Han army suppressed it strongly, which barely eliminated the main zombie force entrenched in the two places, but there are still many wandering zombies who have escaped into the mountains and forests, and they have only recently appeared one after another, harming the township.
This also proves that zombies do have a certain amount of wisdom and know how to avoid evil, and zombies are not at the same level at all.
A lot of things are different from history, but a lot of things are the same as history. The population of Jizhou and Yanzhou is not one in ten, and the remaining people Chen Tao made a simple calculation, and the number of people in Jizhou during this period was the same as after the Yellow Turban Uprising in his time and space, in other words, history seems to be repairing those unreasonable places in a certain way.
Yes, Chen Tao suddenly discovered that this was the case. The emergence of the Demon Realm and the emergence of the Holocaust seem to be the irrational phenomenon that history is repairing this time and space, so that everything gradually returns to the process it should have.
Just, why is this happening? You must know that what happened in the past is history, and since history has happened, it naturally has its rationality. Yet history rejects and disapproves of this situation and repairs it, and it is clear that something has happened!
Damn, don't say that Liu Che TMD is also a traverser! It's just that after Liu Che, everything is decent, there are no modern inventions, and there is no special technology, so it is unpredictable.
Isn't Liu Che a traverser? Liu Tao is really entangled in his heart at the moment!
"Lord, where the hell are we going?" Long Er asked.
"Let's go back to the jungle stronghold before, since we have decided to find a place to establish our own forces, and to protect the people I want to protect, then why don't you bring Sun Ni with you?" Chen Tao said.
"Sun Ni is ......" Zhang He asked as he approached Long Er's side, and Gao Ran also pricked up his ears on the side.
"Sun Ni is ......" Long Er looked at Chen Tao, and then whispered.
Zhang He couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, this Chen Tao would actually worry about a woman who was in love with dew. If it's a national color and a fragrance, it's just an ordinary woman, which can't help but surprise people.
In this era, in fact, this kind of thing is really common, and he Zhang He and Gao Ran have been entertained like this. If Long Er was older, maybe Zhang Shiping would have entertained him like this before. After all, there is too little entertainment, and it is uncomfortable to always make people stuffy in the room, so in order to make the guests feel at home, it is normal to send some singers to serve.
If you like it, you can even ask the owner directly. As long as it is a guest valued by the host, it is not strange to send a singer. But for this kind of fast food, no one seems to be willing to pay for it, right?
Should I say that Chen Tao is too pure, or is he nostalgic? If it's the former, then it's okay to laugh at most, if it's the latter, it's an advantage, at least the treatment of the two of them in the future won't be any worse!
When the four of them arrived at the jungle base, they found that the building was empty. There was no one left here, and there was no sign of a battle.
Sun Ni seems to have left here in the end, in this case, what did he say at the beginning that he would stay? After staying here for one night and confirming that there was indeed no one living here, Chen Tao simply put down Sun Ni and went to the real destination with peace of mind.
That's the Taihang Mountains! According to Zhang He, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, there was a Yellow Turban Army named the Black Mountain Army, which was stationed here, led by Zhang Yan, and there were several thieves below, including Yang Feng, Bai Huan, Yu Poison, Zheng Gu and Tao Sheng.
This group of thieves gathered more than 500,000 people, scattered throughout the Northern Taihang Mountains, and occasionally went south to plunder Shangdang County or Wei County, and of course patronized Zhao State and Changshan County.
At this stage, it is too late for everyone to take care of each other, and there is no unified government, so naturally they can't help them. Zhang He, Gao Ran, and even Long Er didn't expect that Chen Tao would find them directly.
On the third day after the four of them left, Sun Ni returned to the stronghold with the caravan, but unfortunately he staggered by Chen Tao......
