Extra-4: The Worlds That Have Been Visited by Time-Travelers (1)

1. Northern Song Dynasty plane

In the autumn of 1149 A.D., Mobei, Kedun City

Compared to the humble earthen city that the travelers visited more than twenty years ago, the city of Kedun has become much more prosperous and magnificent. A circle of rammed earth and brick-covered city walls stretches for nearly ten miles, and the city gate is as high as three zhang. The city is also crowded, with beautiful markets, wide streets, noisy squares, rows of houses, and a luxurious palace belonging to the emperor of Daliao in the center of the city.

Beyond the walls of the city of Kedun, there were no longer endless grasslands, but neat irrigation ditches and vegetable fields. Not only is the abundant grain enough to supply the inhabitants of the city, but there is also a sufficient amount of surplus grain every year, which can be exported to the savage tribes in the forests of the Western Regions and the Far North, and even sold back to the Han land south of the Great Wall. As a result, the Mobei tribes have lived a rich life that they never dared to imagine before.

The "Seven Days of Fast-growing Wheat" and "Edelweiss Alfalfa" left behind by the traversers in the past have completely changed the social ecology of the grasslands in the south and north of the desert, turning it from a nomadic area to an agricultural area - the former can produce a lot of grains, and the latter can conserve water and soil and restore soil fertility.

Since more than 20 years ago, the former nomadic herders on the grasslands have only been able to rely on this excellent grass with nitrogen fixation capacity to provide a large amount of organic matter to the soil and restore fertility to the land as long as they have planted several rounds of "seven-day fast-growing wheat" in early spring every year. At the same time, the land will always be covered with vegetation to avoid soil erosion and desertification. At the same time, alfalfa is also an excellent feed for livestock, and thanks to this high-quality pasture, grassland dwellers can continue to raise large numbers of livestock even after the cessation of nomadic grazing.

Today, the Mobei grassland centered on the city of Kedun has become a veritable plug in the south of the Yangtze River. The endless stream of caravans brought together various commodities such as spices and jewels from the Western Regions, silk and ceramics from the Central Plains, and furs and herbs from the Liaodong region, overflowing countless riches in the trade, and allowing the Great Liao Empire, which ruled this land, to flourish again in a very short period of time.

At the same time, after switching to sedentary farming, the lives of the grassland inhabitants also changed dramatically, and they quickly moved closer to the people of the southern Central Plains: in frequent exchanges, they gradually learned to use coal and straw instead of cow and sheep dung to make fires for cooking, began to bathe regularly, rinse clothes and eat grains as a staple food like the Han people, grow and cook vegetables, took off their leather robes in the summer, changed into cotton and linen clothes, and even sent their children to school like the Han people...... Today's city of Kedun looks not much different from the Song Dynasty city south of the Great Wall.

In those years, they generously took out the two high-yield agricultural artifacts of [Seven Days of Rapid Wheat] and [Edelweiss Alfalfa], and taught the nomads of the grassland the art of farming, so that the traversers who made such drastic changes in this land have also become the parents of food and clothing, and the Buddha of ten thousand families in the entire Mobei grassland, and even half of the Oriental world, and are extremely devout and worshiped by the people of all ethnic groups. Although in today's city of Khotun, there are temples of various religions. But the place where the incense is most vigorous is always the Taoist temple left by Guo Jing's "immortals" back then, enshrined with the giant statue of Doraemon.

In the main hall of the palace in the city of Kedun, there was a lot of people, and flashes of armor and swords could be seen everywhere. Yelu Dashi, the lord of Zhongxing of the Great Liao Empire in the history of this plane and the founding monarch of the Western Liao in another period of history, was dressed in military uniform, looking down at the map on the table with an excited face.

Twenty years of wind and frost have made his temples gray, but the ambition hidden in his heart still makes him energetic.

In the past 20 years, Yelu Dashi has fought against the remnants of the Jurchen enemy for many years, and defeated the invasion of Goryeo and Western Xia, and finally succeeded in restoring the entire territory of the Liao State outside the Great Wall in the past, and only the sixteen states of Yanyun south of the Great Wall were regained by the Song Dynasty.

On the other hand, he also made great efforts to govern the country, and in addition to the war, he did not forget to promote new and improved varieties and farming, encouraged the storage of livestock, built water conservancy canals, vigorously expanded trade routes, and improved the bureaucratic system, so that the once extremely dilapidated Liao State was once again on the right track, and gradually became abundant.

Under his rule, the Liao State already had many prosperous cities, fertile farmland, smooth trade routes, and rich treasury, although the territory on the map had shrunk slightly, but the population, military power, and national strength had increased much compared to previous years. However, Yelu Dashi was not satisfied, but set a more ambitious goal for himself - that is, to go south to the Great Wall, take Yanjing again, drink the Yellow River, and shine in the annals of history!

Of course, this goal is not easy to achieve. Although the state of the Great Song Dynasty has been declining day by day in recent years, the emperor is obsessed with cultivating immortals, promiscuity, and abolishing government affairs; The party struggle in the court was fierce, the government was disordered, and the local exploitation was fierce, rebellions were everywhere, and the people's livelihood withered - the travelers personally destroyed the Jin army of the Southern Expedition, which certainly allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to escape a catastrophe of "Jingkang's shame". But it also laid the root of the bane, so that this sick-ridden court continued to preserve all the chronic diseases accumulated over the hundreds of years since the founding of the country, and it became more and more serious over time......

However, in any case, compared with the Liao State, which has not been revived for a long time and has no solid foundation, the current Song Dynasty is still a behemoth that is difficult to gnaw. In the past, when the Liao State controlled the sixteen states of Youyun and was condescending, it failed to destroy the Song State in one fell swoop. Now that the Yanshan line has been re-owned by the Song Dynasty, although the Song army is unable to get out of the fortress, if it relies on the Great Wall to defend it, it is still much more difficult to attack than those small states in the Western Regions.

Therefore, although he has the ambition to pass through the Central Plains, if the time has not come, Yelu Dashi will not dare to act rashly and make such a big gamble.

This time, Yelu Dashi left the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing and came to Kedun City, originally preparing for an expedition to the Western Regions to plunder slaves and goods. However, not long after he arrived in the city of Kedun, an urgent message from the south of the Great Wall instantly ignited the burning ambition hidden in his chest!

“…… The air palace left by the immortals in Bianliang actually fell and collapsed in the middle of the night, smashing most of Bianliang City? And let the royal family and court of the Song Kingdom be destroyed overnight? …… This, could it be that God has already abandoned the Tianshui Zhao family of the Song Kingdom and wants to change the master of the Central Plains? ”

- Just as any industrial product in the world has an expiration date, the "Cloud Palace" built by Doraemon with [Cloud Spray] over Bianliang is not an eternal thing. It can last for more than 20 years without any maintenance, which is already a very good conscience product.

But the problem is that the ancients in the Northern Song Dynasty did not have the ability to maintain and repair it at all, nor did they think about this problem at all, but regarded it as an immortal and self-maintained immortal mansion. So under the disrepair, it finally caused the final tragedy......

- In this way, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was suddenly smashed into meat sauce in his sleep, and he didn't even have time to change into the [Superman suit]. And the princes, princesses, courtiers and concubines in Bianliang City were almost all spared in this large-scale high-altitude falling object incident.

The remaining princes and princes of the Song Dynasty who were lucky enough to stay in the suburban manors, after escaping from the ruins of Bianliang in Tokyo, immediately began to form gangs in an attempt to get on the throne. Since the center of the imperial court no longer exists, these princes and princes have to try to win the military generals and marshals from all over the country as foreign aid. As a result, all kinds of foreign armies entered Beijing one after another, making the land of Jinggi of the Song Kingdom a chaotic place, and it is said that there are already imperial soldiers and horses who have begun to fight each other!

This was naturally a terrible catastrophe for the Song Dynasty; But for Yelu Dashi, the emperor of Liao, it is a godsend!

“…… Now that the autumn is high and the horses are fat, the soldiers are full of food, and there is no owner in the Central Plains, so he can lead the 100,000 people who control the strings and wave the army to the south to make a game! ”

After confirming the authenticity of the above-mentioned Central Plains information, Yelu Dashi stood up with great ambition, pulled out the sword given to him by Guo Jingxian back then, and pointed to the south, "...... Quickly gather the leaders of all the tribes, and let them gather all the people of Mobei and ride the Great Wall with me! Will hunt the Central Plains! ”

At the same time, Yue Fei, who was the envoy of Youyan at the time, also ordered the whole army to be mobilized and prepare for war in the jurisdiction, but instead of responding to a certain prince of the Great Song Dynasty or the prince of the county, he sent troops south to Bianliang to seek the meritorious deeds of condescending from the dragon, but continued to hold the Great Wall and prepare to meet the attack of the Liao Iron Cavalry.

“…… Now that the Central Plains is swinging, the imperial court is collapsing, and the artifact is ownerless, not only will all the grass robbers jump off the beam and wreak havoc, but the Khitan outside the Saiwai will also inevitably invade south! ”

Facing the doubts of his subordinates, Yue Fei, who had become the supreme commander of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, replied. This once handsome and handsome young player has now been polished into a middle-aged rough man by Saibei's Shuofeng, but his eyes are more and more bright, and his demeanor is not angry and arrogant, "...... How can you not know your thoughts now? However, although the dragon's skill is tempting, in case it is a non-human, it will never be recovered, have you ever thought about it clearly? What's more, the families of our soldiers and soldiers are all settled in Youyan Prefecture. Once our army leaves the country, causing Hu Ma to break through the pass and go south, wreak havoc in the township, and even Yanyun falls into the hands of the Hu people again, how can we be worthy of our hometown fathers? I also ask you to help you and prevent the Khitan Hu from re-entering the Central Plains! ”

In the deep mountains of western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, the leaders of the Mingjiao rebel army are celebrating each other. Previously, under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court officials and troops, the Mingjiao rebel army was defeated one after another, and the cottages that had been entrenched were broken one by one, and the food and materials were increasingly scarce, and they were on the verge of collapse. However, at this juncture, the bad news of Bianliang's "sky collapse" suddenly came, and the officers and soldiers of the Liangzhejiang Road were suddenly at a loss and at a loss, and the army's morale was extremely chaotic, and the supply of food and salary was immediately interrupted. Han Shizhong, the commander of the official army, also had to retreat in a hurry, allowing the Ming Sect to escape the catastrophe.

“…… God bless! This is the destiny of heaven in my holy religion, and the ancestors of the sect blessed the holy religion in heaven to turn danger into safety! ”

“…… Bianliang's faint traitorous ministers have really made the heavens angry and resentful, and even the gods are about to send down the curse! ”

“…… Now is a good opportunity for my Holy Sect to make great progress, and I ask all the leaders to unite sincerely and continue to sweep away the turbid world and save the world! ”

In addition, the Dongting Water Army, which has insisted on the uprising on Jinghu South Road for more than ten years, also took the opportunity to attack in a big way, sweeping the north and south roads of Jinghu Lake. and the Western Xia Emperor, who had just been beaten by Yelu Dashi in the Hetao area not long ago, also raised troops to the east again when he heard the news, trying to peep into Guanzhong

At this point, a peak duel between the famous monarch of the Liao State and the military god of the Great Song Dynasty is about to ignite wolf smoke at the northern foot of Yanshan. And a bloody drama of fighting for dragons in the world and competing for deer has also kicked off on the land of the Central Plains. As for who will kill the deer in the end and who will return to it, it is still unknown......

ps: Recently, there have been rumors that the famous Blackwater security company in the United States, which is the mercenary company that can stop children crying at night in Iraq, is about to open a joint venture branch in northwest China to accept private business - should this be regarded as fighting poison with poison, or luring wolves into the house?
