Chapter 68: Yan Yun's Upheaval
The new book "The Legend of Cultivating Immortals in the Infinite World", ask for support, click, recommend, and collect...... There seemed to be another chapter at twelve o'clock, and then one at seven o'clock in the morning......
"We look forward to seeing you again!" the sun god hidden. Wen Da Celestial Master also flew up, pulling up a cloud of rain clouds to cover his body, and flew towards the way he came.
An extremely powerful and angry will emerged from the endless rainforest, as if it were the grass and trees, every piece of soil and every stone in the rainforest.
Countless tiniest beings fused into an incomparably powerful will at this moment, roaring with rage. There seemed to be a strong wind for hundreds of miles around, making countless trees shake incessantly.
A black cloud in the sky was like a galloping horse, narrowly dodging it.
It seems that Quetzalcoatl has already noticed that something is wrong, Wen Fei smiled slightly, but he has now flown out of the range of Quetzalcoatl's divine power. It is the god Quetzalcoatl who claims to be the will of the rainforest, but the divine power is not far-reaching.
The simplest example is that in Fuyuan City, where Master Wen is located, he probably never knew the Dao.
The Heavenly Master of Wenda pressed the clouds and descended on that small island. Seeing him return, everyone was overjoyed, kneeling on the ground and praying sincerely to Master Wen.
Originally, Master Wen only said that he had gone out of the hall overnight, but he didn't expect to go out of the city for so long all of a sudden. They waited like ants on a hot pot for so long.
"Great god, you're finally back!" Nan Shi said happily, as a handmaiden of the gods, she was qualified to come up and talk to the gods at will.
And even Ghost Li, who was the leader of the samurai, did not give orders. You can't just talk casually. Even ordinary civilian slaves were not allowed to raise their eyes to look at the great gods at all. Among them, the hierarchy is quite strict.
"You can call me the God of Death now!" Wen Fei said lightly, issuing an oracle.
"Yes. "All respectfully obeyed. Although none of them would understand that Master Wen would refer to himself as the god of death, this kind of thing was not something they should ask. Just be honest and follow it.
"I am the god of death, for the dead to rest, to shelter the dead into my world to sleep. Every life that is born and dies will sleep peacefully in my arms. Wen Fei simply announced his new doctrine.
Although it is not very clear, it is enough for these people to know where their priesthood lies.
As for what kind of god he becomes, Master Wen doesn't care. Anyway, these priesthoods are for him. It doesn't matter.
This is the American continent, not where he is. This side of the Haotian Yuan Qi Sea, even if it does not exclude him. I don't want to have a good impression of him, and it is impossible to occupy the law and become an incarnation.
Even if it could, Master Wen was not moved by this.
He seemed to be able to feel it. In distant places. There is a strong will vaguely, breaking through that invisible barrier, and letting myself feel ......
Youzhou City is now in full swing, like a big construction site. The whole city is constantly expanding.
There is plenty of manpower, and so many people who have been affected by the war have gathered here. It is completely possible to collect a huge amount of labor for free to rebuild a Yanjing in exchange for work.
Although emotionally speaking, Master Wen didn't like this place very much. Probably a bad impression of modern time and space. After all, in the impression of later generations, it is an unsuitable place for human habitation.
But the same. Master Wen had to admit that after the Ming and Qing dynasties, it had a natural and irreplaceable role in this establishment.
In Wen Fei's opinion. From a geographical point of view, there are two periods in Chinese history. One is the era with Guanzhong Luoyang as the core, and in the impression of ordinary people, this era is often a strong Han and prosperous Tang Dynasty, full of vitality.
The latter one is the era with Yanjing as the core. But it often gives people the feeling of twilight, or twilight. This seems to be an exaggeration, but even the capital of modern time and space has not given Wenda Heavenly Master any good impression.
However, in Wen Fei's view, in fact, this can be analyzed from the occult and economic factors. In terms of luck, the dragon veins moved eastward.
From an economic point of view, in the Han and Tang dynasties, the Western Regions had a developed economy, and the Silk Road traveled between the East and the West. Therefore, the land of Guanzhong has an irreplaceable role.
However, in later generations, the rise of the Ottoman Empire blocked the trade routes between the East and the West. In the land of Guanzhong, there will be no chance to rise from now on.
Also greatly affected is the West, after the passage on the continent was blocked. Westerners began to look for ways to find a shipping route to the East by sea.
Thus began the Age of Discovery, finding the American continent that could be easily plundered. Complete the bloody primitive accumulation and defeat the previously powerful enemy.
For more than a thousand years, when the West was hostile to their enemies at the crossroads of the continent, the crossroads, who occupied a geographical advantage and monopolized trade between the East and the West, possessed huge financial and material resources. With its superiority, it will press the West for the vast majority of the time!
However, since the global voyage, after the West obtained the huge financial resources of the American continent, quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and the process of industrialization began, and it quickly gained the upper hand, so that it had an absolute advantage.
As a result, China has been forced to change from an aggressive country to a conservative country.
All things that are divorced from economic factors to discuss human nature and national nature are bullshit farts or dog farts.
When the Western Regions declined with the severance of the Silk Road, a communication route between the East and the West, the Central Plains regime lacked the impetus to move westward.
The great martial arts of the Han and Tang dynasties were also based on the desire for wealth in the Western Regions. Therefore, the army of the Tang Dynasty even hit Hengross as far as possible. This is all supported by strong financial resources, not by the little surplus wealth created by agricultural civilization.
However, after the decline of the Western Regions, the natural environment of the Western Regions became more and more desolate, and it could no longer attract the attention of the Middle-earth regime.
In the same way, the Xiongnu Turks also supported a powerful empire through the huge wealth of the trade routes between the East and the West. After the north-west became barren, the northeast, which was able to cultivate and was rich in resources, became a hotbed of powerful peoples, and haunted the Middle-earth regime for thousands of years.
The Mongols, on the other hand, are backed by the financial support of the Great Cannibals. The people who helped the Mongols manage their finances, and even helped them deal with the plundered wealth, in exchange for a steady stream of military funds, were the big cannibals who were good at business.
What Wenda Tianshi can do now is to leave the Khitans and compress the space for the survival of the Mongols or later the steppe peoples.
This is a risky move, and no one knows what the consequences will be. However, there is no specific strategy that can govern the eternal, as long as there are more disadvantages and fewer advantages in front of us, it can be done completely. Later, it depends on your own adjustment of the situation!
And the Great Song Dynasty, geographically, is still in the circle of Luoyang, Guanzhong. However, the turmoil at the crossroads of the continent in Western Xia blocked the Silk Road, and the richness and vastness of the northeast began to give birth to formidable opponents in the Central Plains.
This is an era of great change, and it is also an era of great transformation. The entire global trend is undergoing silent and great changes in this era, and it has begun to affect the global pattern in the next millennium.
The foundation is laid in this era!
So no matter what, in this turbulent era, the Heavenly Master of Wen took the lead in laying two pieces on this chess game with the whole world as the chessboard.
One is to occupy the northeast and solve the problem of nourishing the hotbed of external diseases. The other one is the one that can make Da Song laugh in the last part of the Americas in this global competition!
Whoever wins the Americas wins the world!
Therefore, even if the Heavenly Master Wenda doesn't like it in terms of personal feelings, even if the Yanjing City near the gate is close to the gates, he will have to set up his capital here.
And there is a benefit to establishing a national capital here that is not found anywhere else. In China's historical pattern, in any respect, it is to unify the south with the north.
Even if there is the success of Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition, or the artillery party of later generations will unify the north with the south. But in the end, Zhu Di quickly moved the capital to the north. And the artillery party did not even achieve the final unification of the whole country.
Therefore, the imperial capital of China could only be chosen in the north. But there is also the problem of transporting supplies to huge cities with a population of millions of people. Under the conditions of ancient technology, the most likely transportation of bulk materials relied on water transportation.
The material transportation of Chang'an was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and even in the early Tang Dynasty. Even the emperor had to lead a large number of troops, princes and nobles to Luoyang to eat when the price of grain rose in the famine year.
The transportation from Luoyang to Chang'an has become a huge bottleneck in terms of transportation capacity.
And Kaifeng, let's not talk about the strategic disadvantages here, just the water transportation, it has also reached the extreme.
Nowadays, the canal of the Great Song Dynasty has been completely maintained by manpower. All sorts of solutions to the hydraulic problem have been ineffective. The silt of the Yellow River is piled higher and higher. It is completely necessary for Dasong to invest huge manpower and material resources to maintain!
As long as you look at the original history, the great flood that diverted the Yellow River at the foot of Da Ling Mountain can know the road. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, how fragile the canal was that no one maintained!
Yanjing, on the other hand, has one of the biggest advantages of the northern imperial capital, that is, it is not far from the coast. In later generations, the capacity of the canal to Yanjing also fell to the extreme, but it could be easily changed to sea transportation.
In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, most of the materials were transported by sea.
Therefore, the land of Yanjing can solve such a big problem in the first place! It has the advantage that cannot be replaced by other places, so it has become the imperial capital of nearly a thousand years after the Yuan Dynasty. (To be continued......)
