Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 466 The Rise of the Grassland
In fact, on the grasslands earlier, the total number of these large and small tribes was only three or five.

But as time went by, these large tribes continued to split and merge with each other to form more small tribes.

Then there are some big tribes who want to annex the small tribes, but this will only make the small tribes fight desperately. In order to solve these problems, I don’t know which god-man came up with an idea that calls himself a god.

In fact, whether it is Tianzan or Khan, they are the same as the emperor of the Central Plains calling himself the emperor, but it is just a means to fool people.

But this is not the focus of Qin Feng's attention. He is more concerned about what Gerhada said just now, that several of the tribes own iron mines.

As Gerhada expressed more and more content, Qin Feng also had a general understanding of this matter.

Ironware is extremely rare on the grasslands, and there are many reasons for this.

The first is the technical partition. Iron smelting has always been a technology only mastered in the Central Plains. There are many reasons involved in this.

But these reasons can also be summed up in one sentence. The people in the Central Plains live in a settled state, which is more suitable for the development of iron smelting technology than the grassland peoples who live in no fixed place.

In addition, the lack of materials on the grassland is also a major reason.

But the lack of congenital conditions of the grassland people does not mean that they have bad brains. After seeing the powerful power of the Central Plains army combined with iron weapons, they naturally began to look for iron ore on the grassland.

Obviously, the grassland people have realized the gap between them and the Central Plains.

If they are allowed to continue to develop, the threat to the Central Plains will definitely increase.

Qin Feng didn't care who was the final overlord between the Central Plains and the Northern Man, but after learning that there were iron mines on the grassland, Qin Feng naturally moved his mind.

More importantly, what Gerhada said just now reminded Qin Feng.

If these iron ores belonged to the barbarians, Qin Feng might hesitate to do it, but these iron ores do not belong to the barbarians, so Qin Feng naturally has no worries about doing it.

But this made Qin Feng suddenly think of something.

The grassland peoples in the north have gradually mastered the iron-smelting technology, which means that the day of their rise is coming.

Compared with the Central Plains, the barbarians have always been at a disadvantage for two reasons. One is the logistics problem. The grasslands cannot grow crops like the Central Plains. In Qin Feng's previous life, the main rations of the Russians in the north were potatoes.

But the grassland peoples of this generation obviously have not yet mastered the core technology of growing potatoes.

Their main food is still mainly meat, relying on the pasture on the grassland to feed cattle, sheep and horses, and then turn these livestock into food or labor.

But this method of relying on the weather is undoubtedly much worse than the drought and flood guarantee in the Central Plains.

Even if there will be another famine in the Central Plains every few years, it seems that life is worse than that of the grassland people, but after each famine, the people in the Central Plains can recover quickly within a period of time.

The grassland people have been in a half-dead state for so many years, which can be seen from this.

In addition to logistical issues, there is another issue is equipment.

The people in the Central Plains have mastered the iron-making technology that the grassland people did not master. They have sharp weapons and hard armor, and iron has long been integrated into every corner of life.

Except for the thin leather armor, the grassland people seem to have nothing to defend against the enemy.

It's just that the process of history is often similar, which is fair to any nation.

Although the grassland people have inherent disadvantages, they also have their own advantages.

Living on the grasslands with a harsh environment makes their physical fitness stronger, and they are all good players on horseback. If the quality of equipment is brought to the same level as that of the Central Plains, their combat effectiveness will immediately be able to rise. Hit the Central Plains.

This period of history made Qin Feng think of another period of history in the Central Plains in his previous life for no reason.

The Great Zhou he lived in respected literature and restrained martial arts, and paid more attention to scientific development. It was so similar to the Northern Song Dynasty in his previous life.

Coupled with what Qin Feng had seen before, at this moment, he suddenly had a conclusion in his mind.

If nothing else, perhaps this era is the parallel era of the previous Northern Song Dynasty.

If you really want to calculate it like this, then the current time should be equal to the beginning of the twelfth century.

At that time, the national power of the Northern Song Dynasty gradually declined. Instead, a fierce beast in the north was rising day by day, and its iron hooves went all the way south, flattening the Central Plains.

Also flattened was the whole of North Asia and Eastern Europe, where the Eastern Slavs' fierce combat prowess honed by galloping on the grasslands for generations allowed them to dominate the world.

If the development trajectory of this world is similar to this, perhaps, the grassland has really reached the day of its rise.

For Qin Feng, this is definitely not good news.

As a reader of history, Qin Feng doesn't need to care about the orthodox word that people in the world say.

But what he couldn't help but care about was the devastation brought about by the violent clashes of nations.

He is a very Buddhist person, but he can't sit idly by when he thinks of how much the people in the Central Plains have suffered from the transition from the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Maybe he is just worrying, or maybe it is a foresight, but no matter which one, as long as these things have a slight chance of happening, he will definitely not sit idly by.

This also made another thought in Qin Feng's mind more firm.

The best destination for the Han people in the Central Plains and the grassland peoples is by no means to fight each other fiercely to make you stronger and me weaker, but to live in harmony and even integrate into each other.

And Black Creek City is located at the junction of the grassland and the Central Plains, a very critical connection point.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if he built this place into a place where barbarians and Han people could coexist?
Thinking of this, the thoughts in Qin Feng's mind gradually became clear.

But he also felt more depressed. If he really wanted to do this, the burden on his shoulders seemed to be even heavier.

"grown ups?"

Seeing Qin Feng lost in thought, Gerhada was also a little embarrassed.

He can't just wait here forever.

Only then did Qin Feng come to his senses, filled with emotion in his heart.

But when he saw Gerhada, his heart suddenly moved.

Perhaps, the connection between the Central Plains and the grasslands may start from here.

He is just a pebble on the track of history. Maybe he can change the track of the wheel, but he may just be easily run over and smashed to pieces.

But at the end of the day, he's just doing what he feels he should be doing.

"Gerhada, what is the relationship between you and the tribes you mentioned just now?"

"Ok?"

Gerhada raised his eyebrows slightly, Qin Feng's words made him have some associations, but he was not sure what he was thinking.
