The war began.

The Sunset Plain was obviously the spacious area in the center of the sand table, and when Lin Tuo looked back at it, he found that the war seemed to have been won or lost.

The army near Kyoto collapsed like a tidal wave that burst the embankment, surging all over the mountains, and behind them were the Xishu army on war horses, armed with rifles and machetes.

When he saw the dense gunfire and explosions, Lin Tuo finally sighed softly.

"They still made guns after all."

When he first entered the sand table and talked about science, he deliberately downplayed the content of military weapons.

It's a pity.

With the evolution of society, weapons of war have developed naturally in highly similar environments.

Although I can't see the details clearly.

But combined with the background of the times, Lin Tuo guessed that the firearms at this time had probably gotten rid of their original appearance and could be classified as early rifles.

And after surviving the first industrial revolution, the 700-year-old country finally faced a challenge from outside the royal family.

Governor of Western Continent......

It sounds like it should be a character like a feudal official, but it seems that he has been prepared for a long time, maybe he has been preparing for many years, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat the imperial army.

If conspiracy theories are to be considered, perhaps, the emperor's death itself was not natural.

"I'm afraid that Chi Guo is finally going to have a new owner." Lin Tuo sighed lightly, faintly guessing.

After hesitating, he didn't intervene in any way, just used the Qi Eating Method to try to absorb the ether, and then reactivated the time acceleration.

Regarding the civil war in the sand table, Lin Tuo's attitude has always been the same, that is, he will never intervene unless necessary.

After all, many times, war is only a drastic solution to social contradictions, which is a necessary part of the development and evolution of civilization.

As for the ether, it is normal to fall during wartime, and when peace is made after the war, it will naturally be restored.

And just after the time acceleration is turned on, the text starts to pop up on the running log.

【…… In the Sunset Plain War, the Xizhou Army won a complete victory, and then waved the army north, the imperial government and the opposition were turbulent, and the imperial army was defeated and retreated]

[At the beginning of the seventy-forty-one million and forty-ninth year of the world's evolution, the Xizhou army arrived in Kyoto, besieged but did not attack, and thirty-two days later, the city gate was opened and the city was surrendered.

The Oike Dynasty lowered its flag, the Governor of Oxiju entered Kyoto, established a new dynasty, and the 741-year reign of the Chi Dynasty ended.

……

……

The Tucker Desert, where an endless wall of grandeur blocks it all.

In the early hours of the morning, while the research team was still trying new ways to detect it, no one knew that it was on another piece of land just across the wall.

A dynastic change is underway.

……

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Kyoto.

Unlike outside the sandbox, at this time, it is the middle of winter in February.

The New Year is not far away.

If it was a previous year, at this time, as the center of the Chi country, the capital of the empire, it should be a lively time.

Schools and factories are gradually closed, and on both sides of the street, shops are decorated with all kinds of food and accessories for the holidays...... Full of joy.

This year, however, the whole of Kyoto was nothing but slaughter.

on the streets.

It's a depression.

The citizens closed their doors, and the few who walked outside were also in good spirits, with panicked expressions, like small beasts, and any movement would make them nervous.

As the electric bell rang in the city, on both sides of the street, in some closed houses, a line of eyes poked out.

Then, a cavalry queue came from a distance, followed by a long queue of infantry.

The soldiers had already changed into bright red uniforms, dressed completely different from the battlefield, with smooth leather boots, clean epaulettes, and spears on their shoulders, and marched straight along the main road of Kyoto in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

"Father, mother...... You see...... GI......"

In the room, when a child makes a noise, he will quickly cover his mouth by the parents on the side:

"Don't make a sound...... It was the army of the new king. ”

“…… Where are they going? ”

"The Imperial Palace." The nervous parents looked at the soldiers cautiously and said, "Today is the day when the new king enters the palace. ”

……

In the north-central part of Kyoto, there is a cluster of buildings that still maintain their classical style.

Different from the buildings that have risen in the Chi Kingdom today, the imperial palace still retains the old style to a certain extent, with red lacquer palace walls and white jade fences.

However, today, the spacious square in front of the temple is filled with neat troops.

In the square, although it has been cleaned, there are still large areas of dark red, and the corpses have long been dragged away, but the air is still wafting with the smell of blood.

In front of the army, there was a whole cavalry platoon.

"Whew."

On this winter morning, the tall, sturdy horses with certain armor flick their tails and spew wisps of white air.

"This is the palace, remember, the last time I came, I was introduced to the palace gate by Feng Neishi, and seeing an emperor has to cross eight thresholds, which is cumbersome.

At that time, I thought to myself, when I come back later, I will definitely tear down all the thresholds. ”

At the foreground is a white-haired horse.

As the governor of the Great Western Continent, the middle-aged man of the rebel leader was dressed in a light military uniform, wearing white gloves and holding a horsewhip in his left hand, and pointing to the palace in front of him with his right hand and smiling.

After a pause, he said, "By the way, where is Vonneshi?" I really miss returning to my old place. ”

On the side, a general of the Xizhou Army replied:

"When she took over the palace before, the queen of the former dynasty led the remaining few people to hide in the apse, fighting to the death...... Vonneshi, right in the middle. ”

"Oh? That's dead? The Governor of the Great Western Continent raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

"It's really strange, I didn't see it before, he still has this kind of blood. With his person, I thought that he would have been the first to surrender a long time ago. The Governor of Xizhou said with some surprise.

"Returning to the General ...... Your Majesty, there was something unusual about the situation at that time.

From what we know, the group of people in the inner sanctum seems to be in a bit ...... Eccentric.

I mean...... They were so tough that they didn't feel the right thing, and their bodies were sieveed by bullets, but they didn't seem to feel any pain......"

"Is there such a thing?" The governor of Xizhou frowned, and he also had some doubts in his heart, but after thinking about it, he didn't immediately dig deeper, after all, at this moment, the diehards had already been eradicated.

He had more important things to do.

"The hour is almost up, follow me into the palace."

Glancing at his watch, the governor of Xizhou said, and immediately led the crowd to get off the horse, and a group of Xizhou officials and generals marched into the palace gate.

……

Enter the nave.

Although the area of the central hall of the palace is not as good as the square of the front hall, it is not small, because it is winter, the forest around the courtyard is bleak, not very good-looking, and there are some unmelted residual snow on the ground.

In the center, there is a statue more than ten meters high.

It is carved from white jade and looks like a young man.

Dressed in classical robes, holding a whip in his hand, and standing on the palace square, his eyes look into the distance, as if he overlooks the entire empire, and his eyes are deep, as if he has hidden infinite wisdom.

"Lin Sheng......" Seeing this statue, the Governor of Xizhou stopped for a moment and spit out the name softly.

Yes, this is Lin Tuo's statue.

Since more than 200 years ago, after he left the country of Chi, the monarch ordered the statues of saints to be made in various cities across the country.

In the past two hundred years, Lin Sheng's image has long become a kind of spiritual imprint.

If you make an analogy, some are like Confucius on earth.

The emperors of all dynasties were nominally protégés of saints.

"Shall no one else touch the side of the couch...... I can't move you now, wait, I'll tear you down sooner or later......"

Muttering softly, the Governor of Xizhou looked away and continued to move forward.

Several officials who accidentally heard this in the vicinity were in a beating at the same time, but they didn't dare to say anything.

……

Walk past the statue and you'll see the main hall.

It is also a place to gather ministers and discuss state affairs.

At this moment, there were already many people standing in the main hall.

Those are all ministers of various departments of Chi Country, there are not many of them, but there are also many of them, among them there are new faces, and there are old faces.

Seeing them, the Governor of Xizhou suddenly squeezed out a bright smile on his face, as if the spring breeze was turning rain, and said with a smile: "Let the ministers wait for a long time." ”

All the ministers hurriedly saluted in unison: "See Your Majesty." ”

As a result, the smile on the face of the governor of Xizhou became brighter and brighter.

Striding to the emperor's throne, he took a deep breath, turned around, sat in the dragon chair, and waved his hand:

"Zhongqing doesn't have to be so restrained, I've been in Daxizhou for decades, and I'm not used to Kyoto's etiquette, and I don't like to talk nonsense.

The war has been decided, and the next step is to reassure the people.

I invite you here today to agree on how to restore stability to the world as soon as possible......

……

In the palace, the proceedings proceeded in a step-by-step manner.

The so-called agreement of the governor of Xizhou is more appropriate than a notice, and the whole process is probably that he unilaterally issued orders to the heads of various departments.

The army outside the palace was guarded, thousands of rifles were aimed, and everything was naturally extremely smooth.

So, then, I saw that from time to time, an official walked out of the hall, trembling, and walked through the square.

……

When the sun rose and dispelled the cold in the palace, only the last person was left in the main hall, except for the governor of Xizhou.

That's a somewhat peculiar "official":

Vice President of the Kyoto Research Institute, and a top scientist of the Empire.

On the day of the destruction of the city, the chief committed suicide by taking poison to martyr the old dynasty.

In order of order, he is now the head of the Imperial Scholars.

Compared with the rest of the courtiers, the governor of the Western Zhou Dynasty obviously valued him more.

He got up in person and kindly pulled the chief scholar to talk for a while, and then said slowly:

"The old dynasty was strong because of science, and I also knew the importance of science, I raised troops from Xizhou, all the way here, and killed many people along the way, but I didn't kill any scholars."

"Your Majesty is merciful."

The governor of Xizhou smiled even more when he heard this, and promised for a while, probably to let him continue to serve the new dynasty.

Finally, I remembered something, and asked about the wrong state of a group of rebels in the front and back halls.

For some reason, he thought the man in front of him probably knew something.

Hearing this, the chief scientist was stunned, a momentary hesitation appeared on his face, and he finally sighed:

"Your Majesty, I do know about this...... At that time, it was probably they who used the 'Secret Seal'. ”

"The Secret Seal?"

"Yes. It is the result of a scientific research project with the highest level of secrecy in China. ”

After a pause, he added:

"It's the same 'machine' that can manipulate people's hearts."
