Chapter 170: Datang?
"What is this place?" Lin Chen appeared in an unfamiliar place, and behind him there was a large river more than 100 meters wide, flowing slowly, the river was like a blue, and there were even egrets flying by.
Everywhere you look, there is a desolation, but there are some fields that have been cultivated but abandoned, and some roads that are overgrown with weeds. Obviously, no one has been to this place for a long time.
Lin Chen didn't know where he was at all, he was obviously still in the ancient tomb before, but he arrived at this place in an instant, Lin Chen glanced at the Dao robe on his body, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Martial Domain! In the martial arts world to be exact!
But which martial arts world is he in, and how did he get in, Lin Chen has no impression at all, Lin Chen only has a method to absorb the essence of the evil emperor relics in his mind now, it should be the red light of the red hydrangea before, but I don't know what the connection between that red hydrangea and the evil emperor relic?
Just when Lin Chen was thinking wildly, on the big river, a wooden sailboat, riding the wind and waves, smashed layers of golden-red scales, and went straight downstream.
It wasn't until the sailboat went down a hundred and ten meters down the water that Lin Chen suddenly reacted and shouted as if he had been stepped on by someone's tail: "Hey...... Wait for me......"
However, the boat went straight down the current, and it was far away in the blink of an eye, and Lin Chen immediately used light skills to chase after it, all the way down the river bank.
This is the first man-made object he has seen in this world for most of the day, as long as he follows, he can find people, and then he can figure out what world he is in.
When Lin Chen chased all the way, he found that the wild grass under his feet was submerged. All of them are fields that have been cultivated but then abandoned.
"It's a place where the soil is fertile and it's close to the river. It's a first-class fertile field. Why are they all abandoned now? Lin Chen was a little puzzled, and had a faint guess in his heart, this world should be in the midst of war, otherwise, in peacetime, such a fertile land, who can bear to abandon it?
Lin Chen saw along the road and found that the abandoned land had at least tens of thousands of tilts. There were even occasional dry bones among the barren grass, and there were some other signs, and Lin Chen was more and more sure of his guess. These lands must have become what they are today because of wars, plagues, and other reasons!
After walking a short distance along the riverbank, I saw a bend in the distance where the river turned. It's where the big bend is. A city appeared on the banks of the river.
Seeing that this city even had a dock, the boat that Lin Chen saw earlier seemed to be parked in that place.
Lin Chen was overjoyed for a moment, and his pace couldn't help but speed up a lot. Looking at the city from afar, it is indeed a water and dry wharf, and the city gate is in and out, which is quite lively.
The scale of such a small city is not too large. and the wall was made of rammed earth. At most, it is two or three meters tall, and it doesn't look very majestic.
Lin Chen was already hungry on his back. didn't care what was written on the city wall, just ran into the city, found a tavern to eat, while eating, while listening to the people in the tavern talking, after hearing some familiar people or things, Lin Chen knew what world he had arrived in!
During the Great Cause, after Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ascended the throne, he frequently requisitioned the people to build the palace and the Great Wall, and then went south to the south of the Yangtze River to recruit millions of people, build gardens, overhaul canals, and ascended the throne for more than ten years. It's hard to see such a great achievement.
Of course, a large part of these things that Yang Guang did were major events that could benefit his descendants and last for ten generations, but it is a pity that Emperor Yang of Sui used millions of troops and people to fight in the Northern Expedition to Goryeo alone, and you must know that the population of the entire Great Sui at that time was only 40 million, and it can be said that thirty or forty percent of the young and strong people in the entire country were pulled to fight and build canals, and dozens of them died in the war.
Coupled with the great drought in the north, people who couldn't stand Yang Guang's conquest of the people rebelled one after another, after Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo, nearly a million people were originally lost in Goryeo, which had already allowed the anger of the Sui Dynasty to accumulate, so even if they couldn't survive, there were many ordinary people who put the source of their anger on Na Goryeo, not on the emperor, but when Goryeo's letter of state was delivered, Yang Guang agreed to Goryeo's submission and retreated to the army.
The anger of the people was really transferred to Yang Guang, new hatred and old hatred, so the uprising began to expand!
Yang Guang was persecuted by the rebel army and the Turks in the north at the same time, and he had no choice but to stay in the north, so he could only move the capital and escape to Jiangdu, it seems that Yang Guang also saw the fate of his country, and no longer cared about the affairs of the world, only cared about his own drinking and making fun of the wine pool and meat forest, and had fun in the Jiangdu Palace, and the affairs of the court were completely handed over to the two major families of Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve.
And it is in this troubled world that it is also the moment when the heroes will rise, not only the family gathers, seeing the fact that Qin lost his deer and the world is chasing him, but there are also countless martial arts sects, and the rebels are waiting for the opportunity to move, just to get a piece of the pie in this upcoming troubled times.
However, these major events in the world have nothing to do with the common people, for the common people, what is the hegemony of the world, what is the hegemony of the ages, get out of the way, live well, find a mother-in-law, give birth to a baby, that is Lao Tzu's world, no matter whose family he is in the world.
This kind of thinking does not mean that they lack vision, but this kind of thinking is the most simple and ordinary thinking of small people, not only in ancient times, but also in modern times when information is highly developed, and there are many people who have this kind of thinking.
Of course, there are some people who are destined to be extraordinary by birth, entirely because they are not willing to succumb to fate, although they are currently very weak, they are not willing to be so incompetent and weak, in order to get rid of their fate, and continue to struggle and work hard, this kind of people have no lack of perseverance, qualifications, etc., what is missing is just an opportunity to change their fate. Some people get this opportunity to soar into the sky, but some people slowly smooth their will or lose the opportunity prematurely in this waiting, so they can only ignore everyone.
For example, the two gangsters in the nearby Yangzhou city!
Lin Chen was full of wine and food, walked out of the tavern, looked at the scorching sun, and smiled: Datang Shuanglong? (To be continued.) )
