Chapter 105: The History of a New Country
The Yellow Emperor era is 4713 AD, 2016 AD.
In the Archives of Chinese National History, an old man dressed in a modern costume with an ancient style, passed through many checkpoints with a certificate, and came to this closed archive.
Ding Ding Ding!
Enter your pupils and fingerprints, confirm your identity, and the door opens.
Inside are rows of bookshelves, with books ranging from old to new, and some sealed in glass cases.
"Great, finally applied for it."
Li Sixian was full of excitement, as the oldest professor of ancient history in China, it took him a lot of effort to get permission from his superiors to come to this top-secret archive.
He didn't rush through the materials, but walked step by step, looking at the covers on the shelves.
The earliest even has official records of the Chenzhou period.
It records how a merchant family in Chenzhou walked step by step to save China, and finally led the nation to greater prosperity.
These official documents are inseparable from two people - Xu Xuan, the leader of the White Emperor Sect, and Xu Yong, the Great Emperor of Hanchang, these two names that everyone in China knows and everyone knows, even an illiterate person who has not gone to school, knows the names of the two.
from national policies, world communication norms, and political systems; From street food to roadside clinics, they are all closely related.
Official history is always bright and correct.
As a veteran expert in ancient history and archaeology, Li Sixian wondered why the two brothers were on the right path every time, and the ideas they left behind even helped future generations survive all the crises.
And why the state has not yet declassified ancient documents from this period.
With all kinds of curiosity, Li Sixian came here.
"Ahem, you can't borrow documents, you can't take pictures, there's a study room in the corner, you can stay there and write papers." At this time, an old man with a cane coughed and reminded.
"Okay, I'll be disciplined." Li Sixian is colorful.
He had probably flipped through his outline, and although it was familiar to him, he had to check to see if there was anything missing.
Li Sixian is very ambitious, and he intends to write a concise and clear book about the development history of China and the entire Huameng.
From it, he summed up a historical law centered on Shenzhou and in line with the values of the new era, which was also the task assigned to him by his superiors.
Compared to 300 years ago, human society has changed dramatically.
Before the unification of Shenzhou, and then before the Taiping Shang Rebellion in the early years of the Taiping, historians call it the embryonic period.
The Taiping Shang Rebellion and the death of Xu Xuan the following year were a turning point, after the Taiping Emperor put down the rebellion, he did not expand outward, but concentrated on internal affairs, and made a comprehensive combing of the relationship between Shenzhou and foreign vassals, and the policies promulgated in it are still used today.
Historians speak highly of this, calling it "the transition from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization", which is the test point, and usually high school history is examined.
During this period, people began to realize that as an industrial civilization, it was not necessary to have a gun and a steam engine, but to have a matching system.
The Taiping Emperor reigned for thirty-five years, after which he was the Emperor of the Holy Dao.
"Tut, the Xu Chang Dynasty is really a longevity dynasty, but longevity is indeed one of the keys to the stability of a dynasty, and there are many things in history that have led to chaos in the country because of the emperor's short life."
Li Sixian recorded his thoughts in the notebook.
They generally gave birth later, except for the first generation of Hanchang, usually the princes did not have their first offspring until the age of twenty-five.
Because of the long life of the emperors of the previous dynasties, the emperors who succeeded later were generally around fifty years old.
This age is considered an old man in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is considered a prime of life in the political arena; There is sharpness, but not too much; There is sleekness, but not loss of principle.
Emperor Shengdao embarked on a larger-scale, more in-depth colonization, in Li Sixian's words, to bring advanced culture to the surrounding backward civilizations.
After the Holy Way was Yongchang, who had no sense of existence, reigned for five years, indulged in pleasure, and even restored the eunuch system, and social thought tended to be conservative.
In this regard, historians evaluate that the development of Sheji reached the upper limit, and internal contradictions began to appear, that is, during this period, Western HRE and other countries began to disagree with Shenzhou, and some distant vassal states began to be uncontrolled, and finally parted ways, but did not go to war.
Yongchang was followed by Emperor Shenwu, who was chaotic at the beginning of his reign, and then the internal combustion engine began to appear, and Shenzhou once again led the trend, and the national strength began to recover.
Needless to say, there were ups and downs, and other civilizations in the world began to appear on the stage of history.
After the outbreak of the world war, a new class emerged, and another division of power, until the current situation of one superpower and many powers, one supernatural is the current China, and the surrounding allies have established a huge alliance with China as the center.
"The history of the reform of religions such as the White Lotus Sect and the White Emperor Sect...... Hey, here it is again, this history is the most difficult to do, I just want to know how Sect Master Xu lived to be one hundred and ten years old, maybe it is really physique. โ
Li Sixian scratched his head, the history of the White Emperor Sect is too complicated, although they are Taoism and advocate self-cultivation, it is still difficult to say...... He began to look for archives on other bookshelves.
"Found it." Li Sixian found a related book on a shelf.
Not to mention the history of the White Emperor Sect, the world's evaluation of them is that they are a group of Taoist priests who study the Dao of Cultivating Immortals all day long, and the result is science.
From gunpowder, guns, to steam engines and internal combustion engines, they are all there, and they have indeed found the Tao, but unfortunately it is not the Immortal Dao.
Among them, the greatest scientist, inventor, and thinker Xu Xuan is the most famous.
Many scientific discoveries are related to him, and the laws of mechanics were first proposed during the Chenzhou period.
In the past few years, Xu Xuan ranked first in the evaluation of human contributions, Xie Miao, who founded modern medicine, was also in the top ten, and Chongzhen, who found cells, was in the top 100.
The folk are full of some of his myths and legends, and for historians like them, this is actually the limitation of the times.
Because people's scientific level was generally not high at that time, they did not understand science, so they could only go to the places where myths were far-fetched, and some myths were just false rumors by people at that time.
Hot air balloons were used on a large scale during the Holy Dao period, but some people found that there was actually a prototype in the Hanchang period.
Perhaps Xu Xuan's so-called flying legend, the so-called real dragon and Caifeng, is actually just a hot air balloon.
Later people did not feel that this kind of behavior was inappropriate, after all, the situation was critical, and only by using religion to establish prestige could we unite everyone, and Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty was also backed by Mingjiao in the early years.
"What is this?" He saw one of the rows of files and was immediately attracted to his attention.
"The Heavenly Master casts the corpse expulsion technique...... Kill Xu Feng to set things right; During the reign of King Chu, the Heavenly Master killed Hao Ge with the technique of chasing corpses, and killed Wu Sangui with fireballs, flying heavens, chasing corpses, and golden light curses...... In the capital, the Heavenly Master beheaded Emperor Qianqing. In the early years of Hanchang, the Heavenly Master gave the method of planting insects, and everyone could have extraordinary power and a long life; In the early years of Hanchang, the materials for the construction of the formation and the materials for the elixir were as follows......"
There is a debriefing report that records Xu Xuan's use of magic to kill, as well as Xu Yong's instructions on this, as well as the memoirs of the people at the scene back then, and the reports of Beiban are all available and very detailed.
The handwriting of the instructions is indeed the habit of Xu Yong's pen when he was young.
"Is there really a spell in the world? Xu Xuan is really an immortal? No way! Li Sixian suddenly came into contact with the truth, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
In fact, he already recognized it in his heart.
Because the historical materials are too detailed, and it is impossible for the National History Museum to falsify the materials.
The second is that the above historical sources explain the mystery of the deaths of Hauge, Wu Sangui, Duoduo, and Asundra Taiji.
No matter from which point of view, when the Heavenly Master was besieged, the other party had absolute force, and they were all barbarian elites, and it was impossible to win tens of thousands with hundreds of troops.
Especially in the beheading of the emperor at the birthday banquet in the capital, it belongs to the category of fantasy, and historians have several theories: firearms, hot air balloons, poison gas, and spy warfare.
The official textbook combines firearms with the theory of spy warfare, because firearms were ahead of their time and the ubiquitous spies were able to accomplish such feats.
The official statement could not completely convince the rigorous Li Sixian, but it was difficult for him to accept the fact of immortals for a while.
Finally, the decryption of the method of planting insects revealed the origin of those battlefield generals in the early years, and after Shenwu, these powerful soldiers almost never appeared, and the reason was that the inner view pill ran out.
As for the now popular powder that replenishes qi and blood and strengthens physical fitness, it also comes from the Heavenly Master.
"Is this true? ......" Li Sixian muttered to himself.
"It's true, I can testify."
The old man guarding the archives appeared behind him at some point.
"You are?"
"The descendants of the fourth generation of the White Emperor Sect's Great Sacrifice Jiu Gengwuโโ"
"Gengxin."
