Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 378 - Jingzhou and Yongliang

A line, in fact, there is a line called Hu Huanyong Line in this land!

The so-called Hu Huanyong line is actually that Hu Huanyong directly drew a line on the map back then, and then completely separated the population on the land of China.

To the east of the Hu Huanyong line, it occupies a full ninety percent of the population.

And to the west of this line, it occupies the rest... That little bit!

Large tracts of land are barren, large tracts of land are desertified, leaving the population smaller and smaller...

And this gap does not mean that it will start to become serious later, it can be said that this line has always existed from ancient times to the present.

And it's the kind where the gap is only a little more....

Judging from the knowledge in Liu Xie's mind, the west side of this line is the so-called non-monsoon area.

Not only does the daily exposure to the sun make the people here miserable, but their skin is chapped and rough, just like their riverbeds.

On top of that, there is very little rain here.

If droughts have broken out from time to time in this Central Plains in recent years, then this desolate land has droughts almost every day.

And in the past few decades, which later generations called the "Xiaoice River Era", it was countless times more serious.

This led to the complete collapse of this desolate land, and the people in it also completely collapsed.

Wind and sand everywhere, the plateau is bitterly cold, this is exactly the word to describe this place.

And here, with Liu Xie coming to this world, he came to this world and became a neighbor of the Yongliang land, and he got to know more and more about this place.

He finally understood the simplest truth, in this place, this is not a fucking place where you can farm.

After all, he has always wondered why the grasslands in the north of Bingzhou, the Saiwai of Yongliangzhi, the plateaus of Qinghai, etc...

Why can't it be overcome, logistics are insufficient.

Or you can just set up a city and plant food to change all this, right?

But why not?

Because it is completely unsuitable, but as long as it can become an agricultural land, I am afraid that the urine that is engraved in the bones of their Han people will be planted for him a long time ago.

Where do they need to be told how?

Where there are Han people, there will be land turned into farmland, and if there is farmland, more Han people will be attracted, and with more Han people, they will be able to turn more land here into more farmland.

After this went on for a long time, the cycle repeated again and again, and finally the territory of the Han people expanded to a terrifying point.

An agrarian kingdom.... An agrarian empire emerged.

That's why an agrarian empire was able to go from a small area to a behemoth for generations to come.

It's because of the kind of factor engraved in their bones.

They need land, they need food, they need to cultivate .... It was only after one ploughing session that they were able to stabilize.

And when more land is obtained, more food is cultivated, and more people will covet it.

In the face of these people, they will defeat, repel, or even assimilate them, so that they will follow their own from wielding weapons to wielding hoes.

And then a hoe and a hoe planted a vast world ....

And now Liu Xie is facing the owner of the Northwest Yongliang Land known as a hundred years of chaos, and finally understands this truth.

In the past hundreds of years, the Han people have not managed the land here, which means that they Han people have not been able to grow food on this land since ancient times.

There's no way to turn them into a piece of green....

Of course, if this is the case, then Liu Xie will not let this kind of place exist at all.

But there are some exceptions in this case, and that is the green land under this desert.

North and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the Tarim River and the Hexi Corridor next to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau....

This is all a touch of green, a touch of vitality in this desert, protecting this land.

But this is a good thing, but it is also an embarrassing bad thing, because these lands did not nourish countless Han people, they nourished a large number of foreign races....

Although the local Han people continue to enter it, if they want to turn these grasslands into farmland, then these alien races will desperately resist.

The resistance of the alien race could not make the Han people give up, and it could even make these Han people fight more fiercely.

Under the fight again and again, the resentment between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

Of course, those Han people who fought bravely not only subdued this land, but also made many Qianghu and Di people in Yongliang land like and admire them.

This has formed a strange and tangled situation in the land of Yongliang.

Of course, Liu Xie now knows more about this cool place.

These grassland water sources, which are called a gift from heaven by foreigners and even more and more Han people, are not really pitiful from God.

If God really has mercy on the people here, then there shouldn't be a situation here.

It will make it more rainy, and it will make this place more vibrant.

The reason why there is a touch of vitality here is not that the so-called Heavenly Dao Fifty has a glimmer of vitality.

On top of that, it's because they're backed by a mountain!

For example, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, such as the back of the Tarim River.... There are also these mountains.

They are all on the verge of high mountains, and they are also called holy mountains by those alien Qianghu people and even Xianbei people.

Because the mountains are so high, it is so cold that it starts to snowfall a lot.

Or in Liu Xie's eyes, it's more like frost.

The little bit of moisture in the air eventually fell to it, and it became an iceberg on the top of the mountain!

Finally, the iceberg at the top of the mountain waited until the weather was hot, and although it was still very cold above, there was a lot of meltwater slowly under the cold.

These waters continue to fall along the high mountain, and they become holy mountains, leaving holy water, and deriving a ray of life....

Unfortunately, most of the mountains and rivers in this place go to this place in the Western Regions.

That is, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were established along the river, constantly attacking each other, constantly fighting, and constantly dividing...

At the same time, there are several cantonments in the land of Yongzhou, which have become the most powerful force of the Qianghu people in the Yongliang land in the northwest to resist the Yongliang land.

The land of Hanyang-gun!

Huangshuitun field, four hundred fortress array, Tianshui County, Nan'an County, Anding County, Longyou County and so on....

This is the unique situation of this desolate place.

And in the north of it, that is, the place where Helan Mountain is located, blocked the last trace of monsoon, and robbed the last vitality of this desolate land.

But this led to a new life in Helan Mountain, and the Yellow River didn't know why it chose to go north to bypass.

Another sacred place of the alien race was formed here, and it was called the place of the south of the Yangtze River by later generations....

Of course, how could the Han give up on them in such a situation?

Since they can take care of this for grazing, then they can farm on it!

And this gradually became the unique territory of the Great Han, and for the first time, these lands were fought for from the hands of foreign races.

A dumbbell-like map is then formed.

On the one hand, there is a vast territory in the Kanto region, which has become the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

However, the Hexi Corridor connects the Yongliang Land to connect the also somewhat wide Western Regions, and it also has a good prestige in the Western Regions.

There is the existence of the Han people, and even constantly competing for the land of the Western Regions....

And the weakest point of this dumbbell map is the Hexi Corridor, which is the cool place.

And on both sides of this desolate land, that is, where only nomads can survive.

Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, Hudi, and countless aliens....

If the Han people don't go to these places, it's not that they can't go, but they can't stand, and they really can't grow land there, and they can't get enough food.

So I can only say forget it.

Of course, it's in this area that it's been a desert area since the beginning of the human race.

It's just the kind of place where there's no way to live.

It's a pretty dry place, even if it's true, as the aliens say, the heavens are protecting them.

But they themselves know that the greens that God has blessed them and given them are extremely fragile.

For example, in the past few years, once the weather has begun to change more strangely.

Whether it's warming or getting colder, that green immediately collapses.

Because the weather here has changed, the increase in the number of monsoons has increased, which has led to a direct strengthening of the monsoon, although the monsoon does not bring any rain.

But this thing has brought enough wind and sand to the cool land, countless wind and sand....

In addition, the wind and sand in recent years, as well as various natural and man-made damage, have directly led to the diversion of the river, so that the water source is directly gone.

One of the biggest things is that because of the diversion of the river, it even led to the collapse of Zhuge Wuhou in history.

He couldn't directly attack Yongliang from the land of Xichuan Hanzhong like the Marquis of Huaiyin, and he fought out.

Not only is the gap in strength between the two sides getting bigger and bigger, but also because a major earthquake in Wudu that year directly caused the water flow to be cut off and there was no water source.

So that he couldn't take the waterway from Hanzhong to Song grain and grass in Yongliang.

This led to Zhuge Liang's attacks again and again in history, in which there was no defeat, but they all ended without a problem.

In the end, he had to grow food on the enemy's place to change his situation.

With this style of play, I have to say that he is a master of art and bold, if it weren't for the fact that he was boiled to death in the end.

Maybe he'll be able to grow food there....
