- The ancient road is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky. .
This is the most vivid description of Sichuan¡¯s terrain by immortal poets throughout the ages.
However, further southwest from Sichuan and entering Yunnan through the ancient road, the terrain is more dangerous than the Shu road. There is no poetry immortal in this place, and the poetry immortal is willing to condescend to travel.
Therefore, the description of the terrain here is only two sentences passed down by the local people. The ground is not three feet flat, and the sky is not three days clear.
In later generations, this place was naturally a tourist attraction with beautiful scenery and the most primitive natural landscape. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a real wilderness.
Yunnan, Dali, South of Colorful Clouds, Home of Camellia, what a beautiful name. However, people who have never been here can never imagine the horror of this place.
The cavalry team has been walking in the deep mountains for more than half a month. Even with his peerless internal strength, Ziqin felt a feeling of oppression that made him breathless. In the past half month, except for the men in the cavalry team, there were many people on the way. No more human beings appeared.
This is a truly wild place.
Venomous insects are everywhere here, and from time to time, you can hear the howls of ferocious and terrifying beasts.
Originally, there were wild beasts in the Central Plains at this time, and there were tigers and wolves in the mountains and forests in the wilderness. However, compared with here, Ziqin found that the Central Plains at this time was simply a paradise.
There are wild beasts in the wilderness, but they will never appear along the official road. Unless you seek death and go deep into the mountains, there is almost no chance of encountering wild beasts.
But it was different here. The horse team was originally walking on an official road. Although it was rugged and narrow, it was definitely an official road and belonged to the official road of this generation in Yunnan. However, even on this official road, Ziqin and his group had already I have encountered tigers no less than five times. This is because tigers have a strong sense of territory and there is only one tiger in an area.
¡°The scenery of Dali is concentrated around Dali City. In fact, except for a few big cities, the rest of Yunnan is a wild land.¡±
On the way, looking at Ziqin¡¯s tired look, the old man smiled and spoke.
They are a caravan. This dangerous road was walked step by step by their ancestors. Even the official road dug by the government was also dug along the road that their ancestors had walked.
Of course, there were roads here before their ancestors, but the roads at that time were all side roads, almost just walking through mountains and forests. So at that time, unless the country went to war and the army passed through, there would only be some savages who went out to buy Han utensils. Come out of the mountains, otherwise no one would come to such a place.
"It's pretty good at the moment. Although the road is dangerous and there are many wild animals, you can still walk on it. If it comes during the rainy season, this road will be a real road to hell."
There was a hint of bitterness in the old man's smile.
Yunnan during the rainy season is indeed a road to hell in this era. When it rains, not only will the road here be completely impossible to walk, but you may fall into the mud at any time if you are not careful, and the poisonous miasma washed out by the rain will be even worse. It's life-threatening.
In addition, the climate in Yunnan is erratic, especially in the rainy season. When it rains, the temperature is enough to freeze people to death, but once the rain stops and the clouds come out, the temperature is enough to cook people.
No one can bear the repeated weather.
However, every year during the rainy season, there will be two or three waves of caravans who need to take this road to hell.
More than ten days passed like this, and finally, those mountain roads began to level off, and from time to time, some masonry roads that were obviously repaired could be seen. Looking at these traces of civilization, Ziqin couldn't help but feel much better. However, at this time, Ziqin But he never noticed that the man in the caravan had a hint of pain on his face.
On this day, the horse team had just passed through a mountain col. Suddenly, a checkpoint appeared in everyone's sight.
This is a checkpoint established by the Dali Kingdom. Although it does not have a tall city wall fortress like the Central Plains Dynasty checkpoint, it does have two huge wooden doors, as well as watchtowers and beacon towers erected on both sides.
When Ziqin saw this level, he clearly heard the old man sighing deeply and helplessly.
This makes Ziqin confused. Seeing the checkpoint means that they have entered the realm of Dali Kingdom in Yunnan. Logically speaking, the caravan has successfully reached its destination this time. They should be relieved, but why are they sighing like this.
The caravan team stopped in front of the checkpoint. Soon, Ziqin understood the reason for the old man's sigh.
A Dali general wearing armor arrogantly came to the caravan and began to check the goods carried by the caravan on this business trip.
In fact, since the road that the caravan runs on is called the Ancient Tea Horse Road, it is naturally mainly selling tea and horses. This time they came from the Central Plains, so naturally they are selling tea.and a large quantity of cloth and utensils.
The general walked proudly past the goods carrying tea. Yunnan is also a big tea province and Pu'er tea is famous all over the world. However, the general did not have much interest in tea. When he came to the cloth and utensils, the general looked proud. The smile began to rise.
"Keep this horse, this horse, this horse, and the four horses over there, and then pay the tax to pass the customs."
The general pointed with his finger, and Ziqin looked carefully, but it turned out that it was the horses that the old man paid most attention to along the way. The goods loaded on them were the most precious goods in this business trip, and their value was probably as high as all the goods in the entire caravan. Twenty-three out of ten.
Seeing that the general was about to lead the horse away after giving instructions, Ziqin felt angry but immediately wanted to speak. Next to him, the old man's hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Ziqin.
Ziqin turned his head and saw the old man shaking his head at him with a painful look on his face.
"let's go."
The old man took Ziqin and headed towards the checkpoint first. When passing the checkpoint, Ziqin saw the young man who had helped the old man along the way. He smiled and handed a few ingots of silver to the soldiers beside the checkpoint.
The soldiers took the silver and took some cloth from the passing horses.
Such behavior was almost the same as that of a bandit. Ziqin felt so angry that he almost couldn't help but smash all the Dali soldiers to death with his giant shield.
"A bunch of robbers, robbers."
After barely holding back his anger and walking out of the checkpoint, Ziqin finally couldn't help but curse fiercely.
"Don't be angry. This is still a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. If you go further to the southwest and escape the influence of the Song Dynasty, the things you will encounter then will be really annoying."
At this time, the expression on the old man's face had calmed down.
"You are not angry."
Ziqin frowned and looked at the old man. According to his understanding of the old man, it seemed that the old man should not have such a good temper.
"There's no point in being angry. If the Tang Dynasty is still powerful now, maybe we can still fight to kill these bastards, and then contact the border officers and soldiers to seek protection. But now is the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will not give it to the son of a turtle. It¡¯s good to be a grandson, but you still want to hope that the border troops of the Song Dynasty can fight for us and the border troops of these vassal states.¡±
There was a mocking smile on the old man's face, but after saying this, Ziqin had nothing to say.
Indeed, this was the Song Dynasty, a dynasty whose economy and culture had reached its peak. However, it was also the weakest dynasty in Chinese history.
Dali is a small country, but the border army will never conflict with the border army of Dali. The reason is very simple. The border army of the Song Dynasty cannot defeat the border army of Dali.
In fact, if force is not enough, does the Song Dynasty want Dali to be able to establish a country? Just kidding, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is also an emperor, doesn't he want to become the Khan of the Tang Dynasty with a vast territory? The emperor of the Song Dynasty also wanted to, but I can't do it, I don't have the strength.
Ziqin sighed slightly and refused to continue the topic.
This is just the world of celebrities. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have so many thoughts. However, the men in the caravan and Su Shi are all his friends, and he himself is a Han Chinese, so he can be completely indifferent to this kind of thing.
Strengthen the Tang Dynasty and prosper the Han Dynasty.
"These four words are such a dreamy word for the Chinese Han people. It's a pity, it's a pity that these four words have been history forever.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the Tang Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula has never been ruled by the Han people since the Tang Dynasty.
Countless thoughts were running through Ziqin¡¯s mind, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. So, the journey became dull.
After leaving the Song Dynasty, the men in the caravan spoke less and less. A few days passed, but it was time to break up. Ziqin and the caravan would no longer be on the same road.
"We Han people will one day stand proudly in the world again, and we may not be able to see that day."
When parting, they should have said some kind words, but Ziqin blurted out these words for some unknown reason. After the words fell, he and the old man were stunned for a moment, but then they looked at each other and laughed.
Although they have known each other for a short time, they know each other very well, but they all know the arrogance in their hearts. They may not have much affection for the Song Dynasty, but they never want foreigners to look down on the Han people.
"Green mountains and green waters, we will eventually meet again, little brother, cherish it."
The old man clasped his fists on the horse and spoke loudly. This time, Ziqin also clasped his fists in return and said goodbye to each other.
Riding on the horse donated by the caravan, Ziqin headed in the direction of Wuliang Mountain, but he couldn't help but think of himself.?The previous words made the Han people stand proudly in the world again.
This sentence may contain a bit of impulsive emotion, but it is by no means said casually.
"In fact, no matter how heinous a person is in this world, he will never want his nation to lag behind others. What's more, even if Ziqin is not a good person, he has absolutely nothing to do with heinous people.
It is actually a bit strange that the Song Dynasty was the weakest Han dynasty in history. The Song Dynasty¡¯s Military Commission was not weak. Even when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty¡¯s soldiers were definitely not weak.
There were many famous generals in the Song Dynasty. In fact, the only thing the Song Dynasty lacked was a wise king.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin had already reached the capital. Li Gang, a civil servant, advocated a war of resistance and was still able to defeat the Kingdom of Jin. This shows that the Song Dynasty was not weak, and those who were weak were all at the top.
Along the way, Ziqin constantly analyzed the strength and weakness of the Song Dynasty, but he came to this conclusion. However, although he came to this conclusion, he had no clue if he wanted to change. In addition, Wuliang Mountain was in sight, and the free mission was like a maggot on the tarsus. , Ziqin also had no time to think about other things for the time being, so he could only put aside this problem for the time being and turn to work hard to solve the Xiaoyao mission.
