Chapter 175: The Great Chaos of the Song Kingdom
The Great Yuan Empire has an extremely vast territory, and Mobei is controlled by it.
The cold land of the Arctic Desert where Ye Xing went was not the northernmost part of Mobei, relatively speaking, it was in the south of Mobei.
In fact, the northern part of Mobei is not so extremely cold, it is a half-grass and half-ice ice ice field, and the eastern prairie of Mobei is also controlled by the Great Yuan Empire, which is a prairie with a radius of thousands of miles.
It's just that this prairie is far away from Emperor Dayuan, almost 50,000 miles away, and there is an uninhabited Mobei Ice Plain in the middle, so it is actually the grazing land of hundreds of tribes of Dayuan.
The Great Yuan Empire had a strong military force, but it was composed of tribes, each tribe was actually semi-independent, and the interests of the various tribes were not the same, but they all coveted the wealthy Song State in the south, and constantly harassed the northeastern border of the Song State.
The nomadic tribes lived on animal husbandry, and trade with the Song was the exchange of livestock for agricultural products and various resources, and the bazaar was very close to Ningyuan County in the northeastern part of the Song Kingdom.
In fact, Qingyun County, where the Qingyun Sect is located, is just separated by a Ningyuan County, which is actually quite close.
Because Ningyuan County has been harassed by the Great Yuan barbarians for a long time, a large number of Song troops have also been stationed here, and Qingyun Sect has a close relationship with the Song family, this place is actually under the jurisdiction of Qingyun County, a real frontier land, but it also hinders the development of Qingyun Sect's power.
In order to repay the Qingyun Sect for its exploits from the dragon, the Song family assigned the Donghai County in the south to the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect, but 95% of the sect strength of the Qingyun Sect did not dare to stay away from Qingyun County.
The terrifying combat power of the Great Yuan Empire, as well as the impermanence and harassment, greatly affected the Qingyun Sect.
Compared with the weakness of the Song people, the people of Dayuan are tall and abnormal, powerful and powerful, and they are also extremely fierce tattoos.
Generally, the people of the Song Kingdom are a head shorter than the people of Dayuan, even if they are people who practice martial arts, masters of the same level are also inferior in battle because of their different physiques.
In the grassland market, trade is said to be a transaction, but it is by no means fair, because the people of Dayuan will not bargain with you at all, and he will have to be as much as he says.
Dayuan did not have much commercial culture, and it was still based on a semi-primitive state, barter.
Dayuan has a large number of resources that are lacking in the Song Kingdom, especially all kinds of materials unique to the grassland, although the Monan of the Spirit Beast Gate also produces them, but it is still far from enough.
The people of Dayuan are very much in need of fabrics, daily necessities, food and the like produced in the Song Kingdom, and Ye Xing is also pleased to see the items produced in Donghai County, because the goods produced in Xijiang City in the East China Sea have exclusive logos on them.
In the small bazaar, although it is the territory of the Great Yuan, it is far from the center of the Great Yuan, but close to the northeastern border of the Song State, and the Song language is the main language of communication.
found a first-class inn to live in, and the four of them went directly to Ye Xing's big room, called the best food and spirits, and learned the way of the herdsmen, drinking and eating meat, and the two eagles also stood at the table and enjoyed the feast together.
The guy who delivered the food looked like a Song person, Qi Ming asked in Song language, "Man, I don't know what year it is of Dayuan?"
The guy replied, "It's the year 3452 of the Song Kingdom, which corresponds to the year 15687 of the Great Yuan, well..., it should be like this." ”
Qi Ming said strangely, "Oh, the history of Dayuan is so long, I really haven't understood it?" ”
The guy said, "Yes, the Song Kingdom has only been founded for more than 3,000 years, and the Great Yuan is different, it has been more than 15,000 years, but they are nomads, there is no progress, they have always been herding, and then they went south to rob in the disaster year, and I was taken captive when I was more than ten years old!" As he spoke, his eyes were red.
Qi Ming said, "The owners of this inn are all Dayuan's? ”
The guy said, "Yes, the boss is Dayuan, but the shopkeeper and the guy are basically Song people." ”
The four of them were stunned, and Qin Xinyue asked, "Why?" ”
The man said, "The people of Dayuan don't know how to run an inn and a restaurant at all, they are all shopkeepers and guys invited or plundered from the Song Kingdom, if they weren't opened by them, it would be impossible to run them here."
Qi Ming said, "Why don't you go back to the Song Kingdom?" It's also very close to Ningyuan County."
The guy smiled bitterly, "In the Song Kingdom, I have no relatives for a long time, and I have lived here for twenty years, and I don't want to go back." ”
Ye Xing asked, "I heard that Da Yuan treated all the captive Song people as slaves, why aren't you slaves?" ”
The man took off his hat, pointed to the puppy tattoo on his forehead, his face was sad, and said, "I'm still a slave, but I was arranged here to be a buddy, and if I don't have a salary, I can't go back to the Song Kingdom, and I will be laughed at if I steal it back." ”
In the steppe, the wolf totem is a sign of nobility, but it is tattooed on the back, and if a puppy is tattooed in the face, it is a slave.
The four of them stared at the little dog tattoo that was not very big, but it was deep into the texture, and they felt uncomfortable, it turned out that the Song people were treated like this after being taken captive, which was really hateful.
Qin Xinyue felt sad in her heart, and asked softly, "We will redeem you back to the Song Kingdom, are you willing?" ”
The man's eyes lit up first, then he shook his head, and said, "Thank you, four distinguished guests, I won't go back, go back, the Song people will also treat me as a traitor, and I will be excluded and discriminated against, and I won't be able to live." Here, although he is a slave, he is not short of food and clothing, at least he is still like a person."
Qi Ming took out ten taels of silver, handed it to the man, and said, "You can keep it."
The guy nodded and said, "Thank you!" He turned and went out and closed the door.
Hearing that the guy was far away, Ye Xing said, "The four of us have only been in the small space for more than five years, it seems like a long, long time." ”
Qin Jingxuan said, "The timer is roughly recorded, but many times we are in retreat, and there is no record, it is just inaccurate, I originally estimated that it was seven or eight years." ”
The four of them were in that single-minded, well-resourced, and quiet small space, and their cultivation grew rapidly, and it turned out that only five years had passed, and it was indeed an excellent place to cultivate, which was really a blessing.
Ye Xing spent a lot of time constantly studying various skills and knowledge, and his cultivation had also reached the first level of foundation building, and the three of them cultivated harder and more devotedly, but they had only advanced to the second level.
It can be seen that Xiuzhen really doesn't all rely on hard work, it is really talent and luck that are the most important, Ye Xing's super divine sense and extraordinary thinking ability are precisely the reason for the excellence of the immortal root.
The next day, when the four of them were still resting in the inn, they heard a major news, the southern part of the Song Kingdom had already been in chaos, and the reason was not too clear, but the Song Kingdom was really turbulent.
After inquiry, a lot of details are known, the matter started three years ago, the Holy Spirit Sect is also the Demon Sect, I don't know why, and the Song family will make trouble, the ten counties under the jurisdiction of the Demon Sect declared complete independence, Lingbao County in the south, and the nine counties in the northwest no longer recognize the Song family as the master, and all kinds of personnel sent by the imperial court were expelled, and some were killed.
The Demon Sect sent troops to Ziyue County and Yunchuan County, intending to connect with Shengbao County in the south, so that the Purple Moon Sect broke out, and the Elixir Sect and the Song family joined forces to block the Demon Sect, and this fight was three years.
And the Demon Sect branch of Lingbao County in the south also brazenly sent troops to occupy Mangyun County and Guishan County, and intended to capture the entire southern region.
A new force in Donghai County, the Tianxing Army suddenly sent troops to assist the Song family in guarding Mangyun County, and its combat effectiveness was extremely powerful, and it controlled Mangyun County and Guishan County at once, and then drove all the Qingyun Sect forces in Donghai County away, and firmly controlled Donghai County.
Hearing the Tianxing Army, the four of them became excited, thinking that the brothers had really made an accident, and they really occupied the three counties, and they looked at the world.
The four of them thought about it, and the army equipped with their new technology was really invincible, but they didn't go out again for three years, of course, they were operating in the rear, waiting for an opportunity.
It is said that it is staring at the chaos in the northwest and southeast of the Song Kingdom, the steppe tribes in the northeast of the Great Yuan are gathering a large army and going south at any time, and the direction of Xiaoji is the best place for the Great Yuan Empire to send troops, intending to capture Ningyuan and Qingyun counties from this direction.
The Spirit Beast Gate has always been close to the Great Yuan Empire, and it is also fighting in the two counties of Monan and Yunhu, and it has long been clear that it will not listen to the orders of the Song Lord.
Ye Xing said, "The Song Kingdom is already in chaos, let's go back to the East China Sea quickly, we should find a way to help them."
Qi Ming said with a smile, "Master, you have already laid out many years ago, you should have a countermeasure to Li Yishan, with their intelligence, there will be no problem."
Qin Xinyue said loudly, "Let's go south tomorrow, it should be fun to fight side by side with them."
The three of them looked at her speechlessly, it's war, it's not play, and there will be many deaths and injuries!
The four of them rested for the night, and the next day they bought four good horses and went south with all their might.
