With the sound of carriages and horses, Zhang Yuan and Xiang Bowen and their group headed westwards. A long migration, a road of struggle, slowly unfolded.
Along the way, Zhang Yuan and Xiang Bowen did not plan to fly there directly, but to walk little by little along the way, and investigate the customs, national politics, etc. of the countries along the way, to enrich and even sublimate their knowledge as a guarantee for their own survival.
Although this will slow down your journey, it is the wisest decision.
In the carriage, Zhang Yuan was looking at the information in his hand, and suddenly noticed a detail, "Brother Xiang, why does the 'zhou' in Yingzhou have a water radical, but the 'zhou' in Feitu Shenzhou does not. At first I thought it was a typo."
Xiang Bowen smiled and said, "A small island in the water is called a continent; a vast land with abundant resources is called a state. Of course, these names are imposed by our race, so don't take them seriously."
Zhang Yuan lowered his head and continued to look at the information.
Next to him, Zhang Quan was also watching very seriously, and was doing all kinds of analysis and speculation. The reason for speculation was that the information provided to Bowen was from a hundred years ago; who knew what the Liang State was like now.
If it were in the past, neither Zhang Yuan nor Zhang Quan would have felt that a hundred years was long. Cultivators are somewhat numb to time - it's because their lifespans are too long.
However, the development of the Shang Kingdom and the recent changes in the east of Yingzhou have made Zhang Quan feel more urgent about time!
The Shang Dynasty developed so fast that the word "rapidly changing" is not enough to describe its development speed. In a blink of an eye, the Shang Dynasty's most representative warships and cannons had developed into the third generation of warships; the entire East China Sea was filled with steel warships.
In the blink of an eye, supersonic aircraft are already challenging the maximum speed of twice the speed of sound; the sky is full of passenger planes!
Looking back, the countdown to the Shang Kingdom’s second rocket test launch has begun!
If the Shang Dynasty continues to develop at this rate for a hundred years, will it be able to fulfill its "promise" a hundred years later and send people directly to the fairyland using aircraft
This possibility... 90%! This is the answer Zhang Quan came up with!
Of course, to get this answer, we cannot only look at the development of industry and commerce, but also Li Xian’s confidence!
But the next moment, Zhang Quan thought: With the means that Li Xian and the Kingdom of Shang are now showing, the people sent to the fairyland by then will probably not be one or two people, but a million troops!
The vehicle drove farther and farther away. Like Xiang Bowen and Zhang Yuan, they took their few most loyal family members and explored an unknown future in the distant west.
…
After Zhang Yuan and his family left, Chen's actions began to bear fruit. Under the joint efforts of various means, the people of Cai began to disperse.
After all, the people are still the people, and they are easily provoked. Under the various guarantees and preferential treatment offered by the State of Chen, coupled with the strategy of building up defenses and clearing the fields, the people finally began to disperse.
For a time, a small number of the tens of millions of people from the State of Cai began to integrate into the State of Chen and began to enrich the national strength of the State of Chen.
Further back, the armies of the Tang and Shang kingdoms stopped at the border of the Chen kingdom and did not move forward. They could not move forward, otherwise they would have to go to war with the Chen kingdom.
Finally, Li Yulong made a decision: Let's stop here for now, as long as the people of Cai State don't return. It has come to this point, there is no need to continue killing.
