With the improvement of Gu Qingcheng's character value, the system has fewer and fewer "restrictions" on her.

The knowledge, observations, etc., that Gu Qingcheng gained in the mission world can also be more memorized by her.

Rather than being erased once out of the world, as was the case at the beginning.

Therefore, Gu Tingcheng knew the subsequent development of "history".

His own world seems to be more like an overhead ancient dynasty.

However, the change of dynasties and the course of history are actually rules to follow.

The era in which Gu Tingcheng lived was somewhat like the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

According to the trend that the world must be divided for a long time and divided for a long time, reunification is imperative.

In fact, in Gu Tingcheng's previous life, she personally participated in the battle for the unification of the north and the south, and also personally created a prosperous and powerful dynasty.

Whether it is the trend of history or the experience of the previous life, Gu Tingcheng understands a truth:

For more than 2,000 years, the unification of the Celestial Empire was mostly from north to south.

There are many objective reasons for this-

First, climatic reasons. It is bitter cold in the north, and the winters are long and cold. The soldiers of the north were able to adapt to the heat and humidity of the south, while the soldiers of the south had a hard time surviving the ice and snow of the north;

Second, economic reasons. For a long time, the economy of the north was far superior to that of the south, and there was a large area of Lingnan in the south, which was always in an undeveloped state, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that Lingnan began to be truly and effectively developed.

Third, war horses and other reasons. There are grasslands in the north, which have a natural advantage over large-scale, fierce cavalry regiments.

The south is mountainous and watery, and it is not suitable for raising horses.

Most of the horses raised are also used for camels and transporting goods, rather than war horses that charge into battle.

In the era of cold weapons, the ferocious iron cavalry is the ceiling of combat power.

In addition, there is a difference in the physical fitness of the fighters.

The soldiers in the north were tall and burly, and the soldiers in the south were slightly delicate and thin.

A tall and strong soldier can not only have an advantage in close combat, but also hold out longer when marching and fighting.

Most of the descriptions of famous generals in ancient literary works are eight feet tall and ten girths.

The main thing is that he is tall and strong enough, once the food and grass are short and the military supply is insufficient, so that the general with a physique can last a few more days.

In addition to the above three items, there are some other reasons:

For example, although there are differences in the languages of the north, most of them can still be understood, which is conducive to conscription and command.

In the south, not to mention one province and one city, even if you change towns, towns, and villages, you may not understand each other, and this is very unfavorable to large-scale coordination and warfare.

Another example is that the living environment is different, the north is bitter cold, the living environment is even worse, and expansion is imperative;

The south has a warm climate and abundant products, so even if it is in a safe corner, it can survive well. There are too many reasons to create a historical fact - it is easy to go south, but it is difficult to go north!

In Gu Tingcheng's last life, he fought from the north to the south, and after crossing the river, he achieved great unification.

However, in this life, since he chose to come to Lingnan and still run a huge foundation in this huge southern Xinjiang, Gu Tingcheng will do his best to go north.

Gu Tingcheng is not angry, and he will not blindly do it.

Those objective difficulties, Gu Tingcheng has been gradually solving-

The climatic reasons are irreversible, but she is prepared for the cold in advance.

Gao Changguo's cotton is the most important part of her plan to keep out the cold.

For economic reasons, it is better to say that Gu Tingcheng has already developed Lingnan in advance.

And with her "success story", it has also attracted many families from Jiankang.

Gu Tingcheng appeared to tell the powerful people that Lingnan is not an uncivilized wilderness, but a natural treasure house.

The grain here is ripe three times a year, and the products here are abundant.

There are valuable woods, spices, precious stones, pearls and corals

Trees blah blah blah blah.

And the development of the Gu family in recent years has really made the hearts of all families excited.

This time, there are so many "distinguished guests" from Jiankang, not only because of the same family and the same spirit, but also because of interests!

They want to emulate Gu's, and they also want to get a piece of the pie in Lingnan!

Gu Tingcheng has never been a person who eats alone, she prefers the saying of later generations - make the cake bigger!

The more families join in, the competition will definitely be fierce, but it will also promote the development of Lingnan to the greatest extent and enhance the local economy.

Gu Chengcheng believes that in a few years, Lingnan will no longer be a miasma-ridden and ignorant "holy place of exile", but will become her base for going north.

As for the war horse-

Gu Qingcheng made the horseshoe in advance, and seemed to have exerted the power of the iron horse to the extreme.

The biggest king of the Cold Weapon Era has also become so invincible.

However, the Northern Iron Cavalry is not invincible.

"Dynamite!"

The appearance of thermal weapons is definitely a nightmare for the Iron Cavalry Regiment, and it is also a terminator.

With Gu Tingcheng being "unlocked" by the system, the more "common sense" she can bring to this world.

is one of them.

In fact, two or three years ago, Gu Tingcheng began to let the craftsmen of the Gu family develop gunpowder.

Now, Gu Qingcheng's character value has directly reached 84 points, which is only one step away from being excellent.

The system also seems to have "given up" on Gu Tingcheng's strict defense, and Gu Tingcheng has become a "jack of all trades"!

The formula of gunpowder, this kind of necessary skill for crossing, Gu Qingcheng is even more handy.

She personally transcribed a copy and handed it to Gu Kang directly.

Gu Kang is Gu Ji's eldest son and ranks second in the family ranking.

The eldest lang of the Gu family is Gu Yong, Gu Tingcheng's compatriot and eldest brother, the word Boyong.

Gu Kang, Gu Erlang, takes the word Zhongkang.

There is also Gu Sanlang Gu An, the word Shu'an.

As well as Gu Shilang, Gu Chang, the word follows usual.

The four juniors of the Gu family, Gu Yong and Gu An are from Gu Yi, that is, Gu Tingcheng's brothers-in-law;

Gu Kang and Gu Chang are from the second room and are Gu Qingcheng's cousins.

However, the Gu family has not been separated, and Gu Yi and Gu Ji are brothers in harmony and share weal and woe.

And Gu Tingcheng, as a girl supported by the Gu family, naturally does not have a narrow concept of the head of the house.

In her opinion, Gu Kang and Gu Chang are her brothers, and there is no difference between them and the eldest and third brothers born by their compatriots.

It just so happened that in addition to studying, Gu Kang also needed to study some "miracle skills".

Uh-huh, it's the ancient science man.

The horseshoe that Gu Qingcheng took out a few years ago is just a rudimentary version.

Its upgrade and iteration can achieve perfection, and Gu Kang's credit is among them.

Gu Qingcheng knew how to use it well, so he decided to hand over the gunpowder to the second brother.

Gu Kang: ......

His little cousin, as his father said, is a natural family leader.

Unlike his mother, Xie, who is always entangled in a big house and a second room.

is not like his little sister Gu Youyi, who would rather help a foreign man than trust his cousin from the same branch.

"Aqing, don't worry, this matter will be left to me!"

Although Gu Kang is a science man who pays more attention to research, he is also an elite child carefully cultivated by the family.

He understands all the insights he should have and the truths he should understand!

He knew the importance of the recipe his cousin had given him, and he looked serious and made a promise cautiously.

If you are grateful or something, you don't have to talk about it.

It's all my own family, and if I say it too politely, it looks rusty.

War horse, oh no, it's a gunpowder problem, Gu Qingcheng handed it over to Gu Kang, and there is a solution.

And the physical fitness of the warriors -

Gu Tingcheng is not afraid.

Again, there are wolf clans in the north, and there are also "wolf soldiers" in the south.

The famous wolf soldiers in later generations are in Lingnan.

Gu Qingcheng took a moment to find Li Mingzhu.

"Orphans?"

Li Mingzhu is already married to Huang Yannian.

However, she did not live in the city with Huang Yannian, but continued to be in charge of her cottage.

After listening to Gu Qingcheng's request, Li Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Aqing, I don't know what the orphan you are talking about looks like."

"But, in our stockade, there are some prisoners of war slaves."

Li is a local indigenous tribe that still preserves some almost primitive customs - slavery!

When two stockades fought, the victorious side was able to dispose of the defeated captives at will.

Kill the old and the weak, and leave the women and children, the young and the strong, as slaves.

Li Mingzhu and Gu Tingcheng cooperated in the sugarcane plantation, which can be regarded as a semi-official help.

She also has the in-laws of the Huang family, and she has absolute strength among the nearby tribes.

Just last year, because of the competition for paddy fields, mountains and forests, Li Mingzhu had a fierce battle with the tribe next door.

Relying on the ironware, salt and other materials supported by the Gu family and the Huang family, Li Mingzhu completely defeated the other party.

not only successfully annexed the other party's cottage, but also captured two or three hundred slaves.

「…… And besides the women, and the young men, and thirty or forty boys and girls under thirteen years of age—"

Although Li Mingzhu didn't quite understand how to define the "orphan" mentioned by Gu Tingcheng, she still tried her best to say the "suitable" candidate according to her own understanding.

"Boys and girls?"

Gu Qingcheng nodded secretly, but he could be regarded as an "orphan".

However, whether it meets her selection criteria, she has to see for herself.

Gu Qingcheng has already cultivated a women's army, and he has also trained all the Gu family's subordinates.

However, if she still wants to cultivate a real "wolf soldier", she needs to choose the most suitable and natural warrior from an early age!

"Huh? That boy—"

Gu Qingcheng, under the leadership of Li Mingzhu, came to the dungeon.

She was attracted by a rebellious teenager of twelve or thirteen.

The young man looked black and thin, and there was an obvious scar on his right eyebrow, which was suspected of being broken.

However, his eyes were like fierce wolves.

Subsequently, Gu Tingcheng even discovered that this young man was obviously illiterate and had not read the classics of the saints, but he still knew the art of "controlling the heart".

He is not only a natural warrior, but also a natural leader.

If you train it well, you may be able to become an excellent general.

"Your name is a wolf? Will you come with me?"

Gu Qingcheng came to the shackled boy and asked softly.

Ah Wolf raised his head, his facial features were slightly flattened, but his eyes were fierce, and he was not afraid of Gu Qingcheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was extravagant, "I want to eat meat!"

"My rules, those who have the ability eat meat, and those who don't have the ability don't even have to drink the soup!"

「…… Good! I'll go with you!"
