Chapter 181: The Legendary Mountain
The Fat Bird throws two pieces of ore to the ground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A piece of jade, the variant is fiery red, crystal clear, and seems to contain strong energy.
An iron ore, the variant is pitch black, the cold air lingers, a rare cold attribute ore.
Zhao Yun bent down and picked it up and weighed it, "This jade is Chiyang jade, and this iron is black cold iron, both of which are relatively rare ores, but the attributes are completely opposite, how can this kind of ore be born in one place?"
"See for yourselves!"
The fat bird quacked proudly and led the way in front, this is actually a mountainous area, the main peak is close to about three thousand meters, very strange, there is no ice and snow cover, the whole mountain range, contains rich mineral deposits.
Among them, on the sunny side, there are jade stones with hot yang attributes all over the place.
On the yin side, there are iron ores of cold attributes all over the place.
The ore picked up by the fat monster bird came from these two places.
Qin Ge and Zhao Yun climbed to the main peak and looked down and found that the pattern of the mountain range was connected, faintly showing the outline of a human body, and there were a large number of palm trees, green bamboos, yaks, and antelopes in the mountains and forests, and the products were very rich, but the most surprising thing was not these.
There is a large sea of pink flowers in the distance, and the endless sea of flowers covers the earth, almost touching the sky, all of which are dense peach blossom forests, the scenery is picturesque, like a fairyland, making people feel as if they have entered a dream.
Zhao Yun is such a person who is full of wealth, he figured out what kind of place this is, "Could it be that this is Kuafu Mountain?!"
"Quack! Count you to have some knowledge! This is obviously Kuafu Mountain!"
What is Kuafu Mountain? The so-called Kuafu Mountain is the place where Kuafu fell.
Kuafu is a descendant of Hou Tu Niangniang, so after death, his body returned to the earth, turning into a continuous mountain range, his blood and bones turned into precious ore, and his staff turned into an endless sea of flowers.
Liezi, a famous scholar in the early Warring States period, wrote in his "Tang Wen": "Kuafu's father is not measurable, and he wants to chase the sun and shadow, and chase it to the valley." If you are thirsty to drink, go to drink the river and Wei. The river and Wei are insufficient, and they will go north to drink Daze. Before he arrived, he died of thirst. Abandon his staff, soak the flesh of the corpse, and give birth to Dunlin. Deng Lin is thousands of miles wide. ”
After the death of Kuafu, he discarded the long staff, soaked the earth with flesh and blood, and finally gave birth to Deng Lin, the ancient language of Deng Lin refers to the peach forest, which spreads out enough to have a radius of thousands of miles.
However, judging from the actual situation of this place, it is closer to the description of Kuafu Mountain in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of Zhongshan": Ninety miles to the west, it is said that the mountain of Kuafu has many trees, many bamboo arrows, many beasts, many cows, sheep, many birds, many jade, and many iron. There is a forest in the north of it, called the peach forest, it is a wide range of three hundred miles, of which there are many horses. The water of the lake flows out of the Yan, and the north flows into the river, in which there is a lot of jade.
Palm wood, bamboo, yaks, antelopes, jade on the sunny side, iron ore on the yin side, all of them are exactly the same as those written in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"! And there are peach forests around it, covering an area of more than 300 miles, in which there are many horses, lakes and rivers, and there may be a special kind of jade...... This is not Kwafu Mountain, where else could it be?
"The passage of the ancient tomb of Jincheng is actually connected to Kuafu Mountain?
This space gate is obviously more advanced than shrinking the ground into an inch array, although it is very convenient to shrink the ground into an inch array, but the transportation capacity is very limited, not to mention transporting an army, even if it is difficult to transport some large goods, so it is destined not to be promoted, and the stone tomb space door is not limited.
Zhao Yun said, "Where are we now?"
"Kuafu Mountain is not a secret realm, this is an area similar to Kongtong Mountain, and the reason why the surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful is purely the result of the protection of the Great Array of Heavenly Creation. Qin Ge said this, showing a strange expression, "Our specific location now may be above the Xiqiang Plateau!"
The Xiqiang Plateau is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
During the Qin Dynasty, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was home to the activities of the ancient Qiang people, so it was called the Xiqiang Plateau.
The current ancient Qiang people and the Qiang people in later generations are two different things, the Qiang people in later generations are only a small branch of the ancient Qiang people, and now the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has no connection with the Central Plains, people only know that in Qinghai generation was occupied by the Western Qiang tribes, as for the situation in Tibet, it is completely unknown to the Chinese people of this era.
The contact between the Central Plains culture and the Western Qiang had to be in the middle and late Han Dynasty, and the Tibetan area was even more distant.
Why is Qin Ge sure that this is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region? This is completely deduced from myths and legends!
Kuafu went from east to west, and drank the water of the Yellow River and the Wei River before the fall, and he could probably determine the vicinity of Qinghai or Gansu. Before he died, Kuafu tried to go to the sea to drink water, how could there be an ocean in this kind of inland? Unless it was Qinghai Lake!
"Drink Daze in the north, and die of thirst."
Kuafu did not run to Qinghai Lake, and finally died at the southern end of Qinghai Lake, and finally turned into Kuafu Mountain.
This is undoubtedly Qinghai-Tibet!
Qin Ge felt a little confused, he did a good job in Longxi, drilled into a stone tomb, and as a result, he drilled out on the plateau, which was separated by tens of thousands of miles of natural danger and highland, if there was no fast passage, with the road conditions in the pre-Qin period, and the situation of monsters and beasts in this world, there would be no way to bring the troops into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau anyway!
Wait a minute!
What does this mean?
A flash of light flashed in Qin Ge's mind!
This area stretches for hundreds of miles, there are rich products, food, stones, wood, herbs, ores, etc., all of which can be transported into Jincheng in close proximity, which will promote the rapid development of Jincheng!
In particular, Yangyu Cold Iron is a very important resource!
Qin Ge knew that the Mo family's demonic steam engine, the special powder added to it was a powder of Yanyang jade, and now there were a large number of such jade in Kuafu Mountain, which had no intention of providing fuel and power for the Mo family's industry.
Qin Ge's most important mineral now is Kunwu Mountain, Kunwu Mountain produces copper ore, copper ore is suitable for industry, if forging weapons, or iron is more durable and durable, cold iron is famous in this regard, so iron ore can be used to make equipment, so that the Qin Dynasty fully entered the Iron Age.
Of course!
Resources may not be the most important thing!
Qinghai is south of the Hexi Corridor, and Longxi County is east of the Hexi Corridor.
It is difficult to enter the Hexi Corridor from Longxi County, because there is a Yellow River separated by natural dangers, so it is easy to be intercepted and defended, and Huaxia and Yueshi have been facing each other for many years, and they have long been deeply wary of each other, and it is not easy to invade on a large scale.
The power of the Xiqiang tribe in Qinghai is very weak and has always been ignored, the plateau is barren and cold, and no one is willing to come over, which directly leads to Huaxia and Yue's ignorance of the Xiqiang region, if Qin Ge can establish a stronghold on the plateau, there is no need for him to attack from Longxi County, and directly insert into the Hexi Corridor from the Qinghai region.
The Xiqiang Heights, from south to north, are inserted into the Hexi Corridor, and there is a way to directly enter the middle section, which is quite inserted into the hinterland of the other party.
From Longxi County, from east to north, into the Hexi Corridor, not only to overcome the difficulties brought by the Yellow River, but also impossible not to attract attention, so long can only be from east to west step by step to fight a little bit of the battalion.
Who's simpler, who's easier, at a glance!
Isn't it strictly forbidden for the Yueshi to send war horses to Huaxia?
Let Zhang Qian play a trick, and the war horse was sent south into the Xiqiang region, and then sent to Jincheng through the gate of Kuafu Mountain. This not only greatly reduces the distance, but also avoids various risks.
The war horse was sent to Xiqiang, and the Yue clan would not pay attention at all.
When the people of the Yue Clan began to notice that something was wrong, the Great Qin Iron Cavalry had swept in!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Ge came back to his senses, his heart was very excited, he said to Zhao Yun, "We are so lucky, there is such a good thing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is pie in the sky, this area has a high strategic value, we have to take it down no matter what!"
In the short term, Kuabu Mountain resources can quickly build Jincheng.
In the medium term, Kuabu Mountain can help conquer the Hexi Corridor.
In the long run, Kuafu Mountain is in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, if you take this as a starting point to rule and govern this wild plateau, you can open up the Sichuan-Tibet line in the future and directly enter the Bashu region from the plateau.
Liu Bang is afraid that he can't even dream of it.
When he stared at the Central Plains.
There is a knife that is silently approaching the buttocks, ready to brew a ** blow at any moment.
In addition, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, open up the Nepal mountain pass, there is an opportunity to directly cross the Himalayas to reach India, this route does not need to take the long Silk Road, and the Great Qin Empire can directly launch an infiltration into the Mauryan Empire.
The Qinghai-Tibet region seems to be a bitter cold and remote wilderness.
In fact, it is a very important strategic depth for Daqin.
This region will have unimaginable far-reaching strategic value in the future!
Zhao Yun was stunned when he learned of His Majesty's idea, it was really a crazy and bold idea like a genius, if it could really be done, it would definitely shock the world, and the harvest would be unimaginable.
"Our top priority is to solve the immediate trouble, after all, according to the records of the stone tablet, Ying Long may be sealed nearby, and we must hurry up to find it. ”
The ideal is beautiful.
Reality is often harsh.
Although theoretically speaking, the Qinghai-Tibet region is very meaningful, but when it comes to implementation, there is no way to speculate what troubles will be encountered. After all, Qinghai Province was occupied by the ancient Qiang tribes at this time, and the more distant Tibet region is a completely unknown and mysterious world, and there are almost no clear historical records of the situation in Tibet during this time.
It's a real wilderness.
If you want to open up wasteland, how easy is it?
"Alright!" Qin Ge activated the Heavenly Eye Skill, "Let me see what's around here!"
A large-scale terrain reconnaissance immediately covered in all directions, and this time it consumed 50 points of luck, but Qin Ge was not distressed, he just wanted to complete the task quickly.
"It's ......"
Tianyan reconnaissance, through the mountains, through the bamboo forest, through the peach forest, Qin Ge's face suddenly changed, and his eyes widened involuntarily, because a picture that was enough to make him jaw-dropping was presented in his field of vision.
