The Nameless of the Common Clans

The scene in front of Chen Mo changed. The new emperor took the throne. He did not have rich experience in governing like Chen Jin, and was not able to intimidate the ministers and balance the court. He was exploring little by little. However, during this period, because the dispute between the power of the emperor and the power of the ministers in the court began to intensify, a new party dispute began. When this dispute spread from the court to the local area, in order to protect their own interests in the factional dispute, coupled with the weakening of the power of the emperor, the anti-corruption mechanism established by Chen Mo was ineffective.

In the local area, officials protected each other, and a large amount of wealth flowed to the heads of the two major factions. Whether it was the emperor's party or the minister's party, they needed money to win over the hearts of the people in order to fight against each other.

The young emperor's confusion and the ministers' wanton bullying made Chen Mo very distressed, and he wanted to help, but... he was just a spectator. No matter how anxious he was, he was powerless in the face of all this.

A set of data floated in front of him. It was the national destiny. The two factions fought, and what was finally consumed was the national destiny of the entire Ming Dynasty. When Chen Mo saw it before, it was growing bit by bit, but now the two factions are fighting, the national destiny is declining very fast.

Time flies, and young people will always grow up. The national destiny left by Chen Mo and Chen Jin is rich. Although the growth of a generation of emperors has consumed a lot, it has not been lost after all. The young emperor gradually matured in the party struggle, began to secretly control power, and selected new people to gradually control the power of the court. This reminded Chen Mo of the Ling Emperor of the year. Didn't he also keep accumulating strength to save the national destiny in such an environment?

But his grandson was luckier than the Ling Emperor. That was that it was not long since Chen Mo established the country. There were still loyal ministers and righteous men left by Chen Mo and Chen Jin in the court. After all, with the help of these people, the emperor party and the minister party were finally suppressed, and the country returned to peace.

The young emperor worked hard all his life, but the national destiny failed to return to its peak.

The young emperor ascended the throne at the age of 26 and worked diligently throughout his life. In order to prevent the emergence of a party of ministers, he tried to balance the forces of all parties during his reign and gave earnest warnings to the prince. Finally, at the age of 54, he died of illness due to overwork. The new emperor succeeded to the throne and inherited the teachings of the previous emperor. Although there was no great governance during his reign, the national fortune was not greatly depleted, and even improved a little.

Chen Mo watched his great-grandson die of illness silently. In this way, three more emperors passed through. Although these three emperors did not make great achievements, they did not cause chaos in the country during their reigns, but the national fortune gradually declined in the hands of these three emperors, and the dynasty was thus passed down for seven generations.

But when it came to the eighth generation of the Chen family, there was an emperor who was a mixed-up emperor. Before he took the throne, he was frugal and modest, but after he ascended the throne, he was extremely luxurious. During his more than 20 years in office, the fortune of the Ming Dynasty declined rapidly, and the national strength began to decline. The surrounding foreign races began to return to Yinshan and Bailangshan, and the foreign races began to grow quietly and began to threaten the Central Plains again.

The fact that the Ming Dynasty had not fought a war for more than a hundred years also made the Ming Dynasty's military equipment sparse. In several battles with the foreign races from these wild lands, they all ended in failure. The grassland territory originally conquered by Chen Mo was gradually taken back. After discussion, the court abandoned a large area of ​​grassland territory and re-demarcated the Yinshan Mountains.

The eighth generation of descendants spent a happy and absurd life like this. He reigned for eighteen years and eventually died on a woman's belly, but the influence he brought was not limited to this. Because of his excessive debauchery, although he had many offspring, he neglected to discipline them. The ninth generation of descendants could clearly feel that no matter how capable or skillful they were, they were far inferior to the previous eight generations, including his absurd father. After all, although his father was debauched, he still had some ability.

Under the leadership of such a monarch, it is conceivable that by the tenth generation, the emperor's ability had recovered, but the Ming Dynasty had gradually decayed in the previous three generations, and the national fortune began to weaken uncontrollably. Moreover, when the foreign races found that the Ming Dynasty was not as strong as they imagined, they began to be more unscrupulous and frequently went south to plunder the fertile land of the Central Plains.

Chen Mo closed his eyes somewhat helplessly and could not bear to watch anymore, but what was supposed to happen still happened. After all, the world fell apart in the hands of his eleventh-generation grandson. It seemed that the situation of princes' separatism was again, but unlike in the past, this time the princes' conquests, the Hu people were no longer supporting roles, and they had become one of the princes who conquered the world.

A war that spread throughout China lasted for sixty years. The Chen family ended in the thirteenth generation, which lasted for 293 years. Then the world was unified again, as if it was a reincarnation. A new dynasty was established, repeating Chen Mo's set, and then experienced prosperity and decline.

Chen Mo began to think about all this. It seemed to be a problem of the court, but in fact it was not so simple. External factors and the solidification of internal resources, including rights and living resources, gradually found some rules. In addition to the factors of the court, the cause of the chaotic world was largely because the resources within the world had been divided up, and then the chaos began.

Is it possible that if new resources can be continuously excavated, this contradiction of internal expansion can be alleviated?

Just thinking about this, Chen Mo's eyes suddenly blurred. The next moment, he appeared in a strange place. This was not the Central Plains that Chen Mo was familiar with. The people here were not the same as Chen Mo knew. Some of them were like the Western Regions recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian.

This was many years after the demise of the Ming Dynasty. This place was located west of the Han Dynasty. Chen Mo didn't know why he suddenly asked himself to look at these places. According to his perception, this place was thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty. It would probably take several years to come here, and there was no way to communicate with the Han Dynasty.

Soon, Chen Mo found many new things. It seemed that with the help of the system gods, he could understand their language.

Time passed quickly, and Chen Mo watched what happened in this foreign land like a passerby.

Gradually, Chen Mo discovered some differences. This place may not be as rich as the Han Dynasty, but because of this, the people here have a strong pioneering spirit, and there are many novel collisions of ideas here. Even though Chen Mo is well-versed in ancient and modern times, he can't help but praise these people's ideas. Although they are not Chinese people, this land is also not short of powerful scholars. Chen Mo got a lot of inspiration from these collisions of ideas called philosophy.

However, compared with the Ming Dynasty, this place is still ignorant. Although there are many good ideas, it is still in the slave era. The country here is very small, and even less than a county dares to call it a country. Wars are frequent. What Chen Mo sees is ignorance, and he can't help but want to point out.

However, as time passes, a small country has its own advantages, that is, the collision of wisdom encounters little resistance.

Here he saw the religion of this place, witches, priests, in Chen Mo's view, some of them are like Taiping religion, but the people here are very fond of this, very ignorant.

But soon, Chen Mo was shocked by their thoughts. The place where they lived was actually round?

The next moment, Chen Mo suddenly found himself rising higher and higher, gradually passing through the clouds, and after passing through an invisible bondage, a shocking scene appeared in front of him. The place where he just stood gradually changed from a continent to an elliptical sphere in front of him. The place where they lived was really round, not completely round.

At the same time, he saw the starry sky of the universe. It turned out that the place where they lived was so small...

When his consciousness returned to the land, Chen Mo still couldn't wake up from the shock, but the deduction of the world continued, and the deduction of the times here continued. The craftsmen who were disdained by people in the Han Dynasty were highly respected here, and many things called inventions appeared one by one, gradually improving people's life trajectories. The appearance of early firearms made Chen Mo very curious, but he didn't care. The range of this kind of firearms was not far, and the accuracy was far less than that of bows and crossbows. Except for the scary sound, there was nothing special about it.

But then, as time passed, firearms were updated. In just a hundred years, the power of firearms was considerable, and the appearance of cannons shocked Chen Mo. If there were such things, he didn't know what the meaning of the city wall was?

And the most terrifying thing was that these things were still improving at a very fast speed.

At the same time, Chen Mo's consciousness returned to China, and guns and cannons also appeared here, and they were not worse than those in the West, but what Chen Mo couldn't accept was that when the West had a newer political system, China was still continuing the cycle of the past in the change of dynasties again and again.

Craftsmen were still not valued, and guns and cannons were not valued. This was the disadvantage of a big country. For many things, even if the ruler wanted to change, when the resistance came up layer by layer, even the emperor was unable to make too much change. The bigger the country, the harder it was to change the law, and sitting in the position of the Celestial Empire for a long time, they had already disdained to look outside the Celestial Empire.

And when Chen Mo's consciousness arrived in the West again, an uprising called the Industrial Revolution was breaking out.

Although blood flowed like a river, Chen Mo could see that after this baptism of blood, the West, which the Ming Dynasty did not even want to look at more than a thousand years ago, would finally have the opportunity to surpass the East.

And the fact was as Chen Mo expected. After the Industrial Revolution, the craftsmanship in the West, known as science and technology, was developing rapidly. Huge machine tools, mass-produced weapons, iron ships, and things that could communicate even thousands of miles apart were constantly happening. The absorption and utilization of the natural world, the ability that only gods could use in legends, was being mastered by people, and the distance that Chen Mo thought was impossible to cross was no longer far away.

When the Western guns opened the door to China, although he had expected it, Chen Mo still closed his eyes painfully. This was a scene he never wanted to see, but it really happened in front of him. He wanted to do something, but he could do nothing. He watched the land of China experience an unprecedented disaster. Even though he was over fifty years old, Chen Mo still wanted to go back to the battlefield and drive these foreign races out of the country.

But he couldn't do it. Even if he could show up, he knew that he couldn't change anything. Chinese civilization was surpassed by Western civilization...
