Is this a godsend?

Yishui, this is already the northernmost border of the Shang Dynasty. If there is still Fangguo in the previous land, then the north of Yishui is the territory of Donghu and Rongdi.

"Poor and weak, poor and weak, poor and weak!" A gangster chased and slashed at the forefront. The opponent's bone and wooden weapons were useless against steel armor. Of course, it was still possible to add a little trouble to his painter.

fencing?What is fencing?Xiao Lian swung it directly, the pale golden light particles wrapped around the arm and the blade, and the black blade was now in the shape of a pale golden crystal, no matter whether it was armored or not, it was all taken away with one sword.

Moreover, Zishou was no longer rushing indiscriminately as before, but saw the pawns over there blocked, so he went to kill the opponent's warriors. To Donghu, these warriors were like the nobles and princes of Shang, since they were soldiers on the battlefield. The mainstay is also a military officer. The result of this kind of special killing with hard ideas is that the entire battle formation collapses at an alarming speed.

After trying all kinds of methods to no avail, these rebel Fangguo tribes and Donghu's random legions united because of Zishou's actions, when they saw a steel lump rushing towards them, even the bravest warriors of the tribe would turn around immediately Just run—just kidding, are there still few warriors who crashed into it before?

This run was a rout across the board, and there was a scene of one person chasing hundreds or even thousands of people.

"Wu, hurry up and get a prescription!" Donghu and the rebel Fang Guo also had strangers, but Zishou didn't seem to feel that someone was attacking him.

"Curse, the curse is invalid, he, there is something wrong with his artifact!" Yiren also panicked. Although the previous kings of Shang also had artifact protection, if they were attacked, their physical strength would be consumed rapidly. Not only would they not use artifacts to attack easily , only used to protect the body, and will bring a lot of strangers with him for protection.

Therefore, it is still useful for them to release supernatural powers and supernatural attacks, but where did this monster come from now, with one hand practicing night training and the other hand carrying shadows, which means that it is protected by dual artifacts, and it is still killing randomly—he Where did such a strong "god" come from?This consumption is not right!

The aliens gave up "magic attacks" one after another, and had to start using magical physical attacks.

"Buzz!" "My sword is ringing, there must be a witch nearby..."

"Slap!" Su Bin, who was guarding behind him, slapped Zishou on the head forcefully, "It's me!"

She is already in the form of a beast ear mother, with full firepower, and her nine furry tails envelop the child halfway forward, as if he fired a floating cannon.

At the same time, pale golden light particles spread towards the whole body, enveloping the two of them like a whirlwind, and around the light particles was a faint ring structure composed of pale silver light dust.

"Boom!" Lie Yan exploded, knocking dozens of soldiers into the air, and the silver light dust quickly formed a hemispherical transparent structure. Lie Yan made it appear, but could not break through its protection.

However, this is just the beginning. When the aliens started using physical attacks, the scene on the battlefield began to develop towards the angle of demonization. It’s just that this attack method consumes a lot of aliens, and its power has no sound and light effects. so good.

If the previous curse can kill a group of strong guys like Zi Shou in an instant with only three points of effort, then this kind of flame explosion will cause serious injuries at most when encountering a particularly strong guy like Evil.

For those soldiers, only a few core people can be killed, and the others are just blown away.

"Tsk, it's become a warhammer." Zi Shou glanced at the battlefield. The efforts of these tribal wizards and "totem gods" saved the scene of a little defeat, until the noble priests and aliens on the merchant side also began to exert their strength.

The scene evolved directly from the Three Kingdoms Total War to the Warhammer Total War style.The blue-gray birds flew across the sky, and the blue feathers turned into sharp arrows and sprinkled down. In the merchant camp, the priests pricked their fingers, smeared blood on the artifacts, and began to release curses and sorcery to fight.

Ice cubes, whirlwinds, flames, flying sharp feathers, elephants and ferocious beasts (beasts controlled by Su Bing) collided with the enemy, and the aliens of the enemy also entered a desperate state. Zishou saw one of them with his own eyes The guy dressed as a wizard put a fireball, and suddenly his own people burned up, and turned into ashes within 1 minute.

However, although this sound and light effect is good, its lethality is not as good as Zishou's hacking and hacking, and it doesn't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Now he understands why the two sides seldom use this kind of alien ability on the battlefield. It is far lower than sound and light, consumes a lot of energy, and does not distinguish between enemy and friend. In contrast, those invisible attacks that are not visible are more difficult to defend and more affordable.

And the opponent is forced to use this kind of tactics. Look at Zishou's double and triple shields. The ones aimed at the spirit are blocked by the nine fox tails, and the ones aimed at the body cannot break through the golden light particles surrounding him. .

Invisible poison, transparent light, and strange curses all just make the whirlwind of golden light particles denser and brighter, while physical magic attacks, after touching that layer of transparent shield, are destroyed. It broke up and turned into ordinary flames and gusts of wind, and he couldn't even make Zishou this guy move a step.

"Om!" The golden and silver light particles spread out to the two sides. The opponent obviously used a thorough desperate preparation to deal with the King Shang who underestimated the enemy and rushed forward on the spot. Runaway state.

His physical strength was lost at an alarming rate. Zishou lifted up his visor, took out a bottle of honey water and poured it directly, and his dizziness was relieved a lot. It would be even better to have a Snickers bar or something." The flying two-color light particles spread out like wings.

"Heavenly Destiny Black Bird, come down to give birth to Shang!" The whole army shouted, at this moment, the opponent completely collapsed, even if they were drowned by Yi Shui, they couldn't stop them jumping into the water first.

Zishou also stopped chasing. On the one hand, he was really tired, and the consumption was too great. On the other hand, he could only be drowned if he went into the water wearing this suit, and he didn't dare to take it off... As a modern person, he is extremely life-saving of!

However, other merchant nobles and gentry were different. With a flick of their armor, they jumped into the water shirtless with their weapons in their mouths, and then grabbed their opponents. Those who resisted were cut with a knife, and those who did not resist were dragged ashore and tied up.

Broken wooden shields and corpses floated on the blood-red river, like a river of blood.

Testimonials

Nothing to say ~ laugh.

This thing is very interesting to write, especially the materials and documents of the Shang Dynasty are few enough, and most of them are very controversial. It is also said that it is the order of sacrifice.

Of course, the order of sacrifice is more likely, but in this case, it means that in the eyes of businessmen, Daji is slightly more human than Dixin~

After all, Xin was already the third from the bottom, and obviously there were no Di Ren and Di Gui, which meant that in the eyes of the businessman, Di Xin would be the last one to wait when offering sacrifices, and it would be his turn after everyone finished eating.

Of course, for the sake of drama, I’m using the order of sacrifice here, so that it’s normal for Zishou’s daily name to be Di Xin—the businessman thinks that if the epilepsy king eats first, the other kings don’t have to eat it. Go crazy when you come up, and other gods can't eat it.

Another example is living sacrifices. The pits discovered now have been put forward several theories based on the fact that there are almost no burial objects. It is said that it was only a mass grave at that time, which can explain why most of the bones of women, the elderly and children without scars are the bones of these three types of people who are most likely to die.At that time, there was obviously no crematorium, and civilians and savages were obviously not qualified to build tombs, so digging a big pit and throwing it in was the most likely.

In short, this is an era in which there is no unified corroborative literature at all, and even some corroborated ones have been overturned by the later development of astronomy and computers. It is really interesting to write.

By the way, speaking of it, the little book is finished, do you want to write the modern chapter of this book?laugh~

Chapter 25 Shao Changxian Collection

In Yicheng, Zishou began to divide the spoils after finishing off the enemies on the border. All the captives had their left ears cut off, some of the old and weak were killed in the sacrificial temple, and the remaining young and strong were distributed among the princes as shepherds. All the captured livestock were also distributed to the warriors under his command, and everyone was happy.

At this time, the king of Shang also gave birth to Shang with the birth of Xuanniao. Since Yi finally returned to Shang, it was protected by Xuanniao. Therefore, the place where Yibei was changed was "Yan", and the son of the clan was enshrined as the Marquis of Yan to sit in the north. The lands of the other countries were also divided up.

At night, "Your Majesty, why don't you keep some prisoners? And the land of Kinki... hey, don't play with the tip of my tail, it's very itchy!" Su Bing lay on the white fur, her face was pink, but her expression was serious very.

"The land of Kinki is going to expand to the south, and it is better to hand over the land of the north to the princes, and..." Zishou pinched the tip of Su Bing's tail, and with one hand, he was groping for something on the smooth and delicate back.

Moreover, if his direct ruling ability is counted in Luodi, it is basically at its limit. If he insists on making these territories his direct territories, he will not only offend a lot of princes of Shang, but also cannot control them at all, so he has to go everywhere Garrisoning troops, in case of any situation, it is impossible to send troops back in time to help.

"What about the prisoners?"

"It's just floating money." Zishou shook his head. It's hard for people in this era not to regard captives as slaves and wealth, but Zishou is different. He just treats them as human resources, and human resources can't be too much. Become redundant, so in his eyes, slaves are like employees, and if the number is exceeded, they will have to be laid off.

Of course, the company's layoff method is a bit bloody. In order to avoid layoffs in the future, reducing the total number of slaves is a feasible solution, so that slaves can be controlled at a healthy number, so that production will not be delayed, nor will it be due to redundant manpower. I have premature border effects.

Finally, if there are not too many slaves, it means that the warriors and troops guarding the slaves will not be occupied too much. The previous Shang kings, like all the kings of this era, frantically hugged things at home, and finally when it came to Emperor Xin, He was blown up by himself.

However, Zishou is different, his way of thinking is different from that of everyone in this era.

"The feudal lords have many concubines but few warriors, and they need warriors to guard them. I do have enough warriors. Excuse me, who do these servants belong to now?"

"The Great King's" Su Bin giggled, she was the smartest one in King Shang's harem, so she quickly figured out Zi Shou's train of thought.

"Besides, both the land of Northern Yan and the land of Dongyi need a large number of slaves and warriors to open up. Giving them more slaves will also help the development of these places." As for the development, the development Well, take a look at my big sword, and let's talk about who owns this good place.

"It's a pity that these savages are too ugly, and few of them are good-looking." Zi Shou curled his lips, otherwise he could wrong himself and use it as a source of legal principles to rule the future Donghu area (now the Northeast).

Therefore, although these ancients didn't say anything, they still took things like bloodlines and concubines too seriously. If he didn't care, others might worry that these barbarians would enter the Central Plains later, but Zishou didn't think so. .

If he was born in the Central Plains, grew up in the Central Plains, and taught in the Central Plains, then he is a native of the Central Plains. As for the issue of blood, it is mostly because he takes a Central Plains woman as his wife, and it will be diluted to nothing within two generations. What a simple thing, But it can be used as a tool to accommodate and digest the opponent's entire tribe or even the entire alliance.

Even, why bother with this issue?At that time, he will adopt the past directly on the grounds that his mother has no children, and even the blood problem will be solved, but he will automatically be crowned the Khan of the Grassland, thus commanding the tribes on the grassland in a legitimate manner.

And given a legal channel to enter the customs to be the emperor's close ministers, these prairie people are probably more active than anyone else in throwing away their tents and whips, and picking up books and pens. The aggressiveness of culture is much stronger than blood genes!

After solving the problem in the north, the princes who had been wandering outside for half a year finally couldn't help but bid farewell one after another. They returned to their fiefs with their spoils and passed on Zishou's reputation of generosity and justice to all directions. The prairie nobles who left also spread the reputation of this guy's brutality.

On the one hand, it is fair and generous. As a king, the spoils are hardly divided, and all the spoils are given to his subordinates, and when the spoils are divided, there is no difference due to enmity, closeness, or distance; With hundreds of people fighting, even a ferocious beast like a si (rhinoceros) can be beheaded by holding its horn with one hand.

The next time the summoned people go to war, maybe some barbarian tribes who have been beaten and cried will come to see them, and then become Fang Guo, or even go one step further, simply enclosing them.

When we arrived near Modu, the snow had already started to fall, and the Kinki nobles rushed back one after another to see if their fields had been harvested, if their wives gave birth to children inexplicably during the expedition, and if their elders were there A few died because of the cold snow.

There is no way, human life is so fragile these days, not to mention now, even in the emperor's harem 1000 years later, there is no guarantee that nine out of ten princes can live to adulthood, let alone the children of noble families these days .

It's okay if it doesn't snow, but when it snows, the weather is cold, and a nobleman may die at any time because of a cold, or even die because the cold is contagious, and the land can only be taken back and divided.

Of course, this probability is not high. After all, they are all strong men who fought on the battlefield, but, again, with the way of life these days, it is very normal to die. The blood lost, the vitality lost, and the strain of internal organs and muscles are all difficult to recover with the productivity of this era.

Therefore, it was very common for veterans in the army to die in the heavy snow after the Great War. Even if Zishou started digging coal to make briquette stoves for everyone, it was the same. The hot air flew away—so Zishou told them not to close the windows when they fired the stove.

The nobles used a more powerful method. They simply imitated the barbarians in the south, dug a cellar under the house, and raised the wooden floor and the house, and then let the slaves burn the stove below, so that the heat surged up. It's warm inside the house.

As for whether the slaves would be suffocated to death under the slow air circulation, they didn't care much. Anyway, this kind of fuel is quite cheap, and now even the savages outside the city have learned it.

After all, only the leftovers that are not needed for coking, and the black stones from the wild mountains, are brought back and smashed, mixed with yellow mud and river water, shaped with a wooden tool, and dried in the sun.

Anyway, these days, there are still a lot of open-pit coal mines on Zhou's site and Shang's site, and the quality of the coal is quite good, in all fairness. Coal can be used, at most it is not burned completely.

And after the use of coal as a fuel was widely spread, the precious charcoal became exclusive to the nobles, which also greatly restricted the destruction of vegetation in large cities due to the relationship between cooking fuel.

Of course, it will also lead to future generations. After entering the industrial age, people are numb. Your ancestors began to dig coal thousands of years ago. It also dug part of it by piles of human lives.

Those coal mines that are inconvenient to develop still exist, causing future generations to blow their heads because of this problem; of course, it is also because the coking technology has been adjusted in advance.

So, the big guys started to play with iron blast furnaces and all-steel weapons in the Han Dynasty, which made the grassland people even bigger. The people on the other side put steel lumps in their horses, and the swords and swords with bone arrowheads and iron pots and leather robes on the other side—OK, Now come to the fair charge!

In the Royal Palace of Modu, the ceramic brick paving project is basically completed. It is not realistic to completely demolish and rebuild. However, the amount of work for a part of the earthen wall bricks to fit the ceramic brick surface is not large. Therefore, when Zishou returned to the palace, he found this place It is much more pleasing to the eye, at least replace the grass roof with a tile roof.

"These finished animal skins are spread on the ground, right, right, just like that, these good-colored furs are spread here, and these are made into curtains." Although most of the trophies were divided, there was no fur or anything else. points, and no one dared to ask for it.

These skins peeled off from the "divine beasts" or "extraordinary beasts" enshrined by those tribes, after rinsing and degreasing (Zi Shou didn't understand how the witches did it, it can only be attributed to spells), and then use talc powder After being polished and smooth, it became the exclusive tribute of the King of Shang, and the other princes had no intention of asking for it—after all, the eldest brother personally led people to kill people, and he was still on the front line, so he couldn't just take nothing. The next big brother didn't bring everyone out?

So these ritual vessels and furs that were inconvenient to bring back all belonged to Zishou, which made him very uncomfortable-you are so obedient and don’t accept these ritual vessels from Fangguo as sacrifices, how can I find you an excuse to rebel in the future? How about transferring you away from these well-developed familiar lands?

There are cast iron pipes laid in the palace of Modu, which was made by the King of Shang, and he also solved the solution to the sealing problem, because no one can twist the wrought iron plate that is not thin due to craftsmanship and is nearly half a centimeter thick by hand. The pipe is then screwed to the pipe joint by hand.

Although wrought iron is quite soft, the casting method is used, the carbon content in it has changed, and then it has been annealed and heat-treated, so the strength is still not low. However, in the face of King Shang's inhuman strength, these toughness The good wrought iron pipe was successfully bent into a radiator in the palace, which made people even more suspicious whether the king of Shang had eaten something weird or not.

But it's also very strange to say that Zishou found that although he was strong, he never lost control. Even when playing games with Yushu and others, he would not miss and hurt others. You must know that men are very It is difficult to control the intensity by subjective consciousness.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the influence of some strange and chaotic factors. There is no academy of sciences here, let alone instruments, so it can only be regarded as an unsolved mystery.Connected to the outside of the pipe is a large iron vat, which is placed on a tall six-seven-meter-high earthen shelf. The water is introduced into the fire-burning kitchen of the palace under the action of gravity for heating, which is not only equivalent to heating, but also hot water. take a shower.

Moreover, the chefs in the kitchen also used a tap water system that surpassed the times, but it was a bit troublesome to fill the water tower with water trucks and elevated canals. This project did not cost much, and only one worker was needed except for the craftsman who processed the woodwork. ——Shang Wang himself——Only he can bend iron plates into water towers, and can erect huge canals.

It may take less than half a year for slaves to complete the work, but for Shang Wang to do it, it will be completed in one month. Since the metal can be squeezed into a ball with bare hands as a sealing material, the canal is still extremely strong.

However, since it is in contact with water every day, it should be impossible to add mushrooms to archaeologists without the need for others to die.

Everyone can understand the excavation of aqueducts, water towers, radiators and gravity-type running water in the ruins. After all, there are steam power to open the temple doors in the contemporary Egyptian temples. Did not pass down.

However, after digging out the iron pipes that were obviously wrung out by something with bare hands and the sealed joints covered with fingerprints, it is impossible to explain how this was made. This kind of behavior that cannot add mushrooms to future generations will make children suffer Very dissatisfied, but, people are not as good as God, so that's it.

Originally, Zi Shou thought about building a steam engine, but seeing the strange and chaotic appearance, he couldn't make up his mind on which one was reliable, the real energy machine or the steam engine, and after thinking about it carefully, there was no need for a steam engine, because there was no industrialized one at all. Possibilities and leeway, he can't even support people, let alone off-duty workers.

The primary industry in ancient times could not support the secondary industry, let alone the tertiary industry, not to mention, to make steam engines, you really have to rub your hands from beginning to end, otherwise, those craftsmen who don’t even know how to write , I am afraid that the cylinder will explode within 5 minutes after the parts are installed, and the strength of the material is not very supportive.

If it cannot be popularized, it is useless to manufacture it, and if the King of Shang has to be used, it is useless for military use, because if you let a chariot driven by a steam engine hit people, it is not likely that a King of Shang will carry the Excalibur to quickly and conveniently.

The same is true for gunpowder. I am already a car and so-and-so is dead. I want gunpowder and he is useless. It is like a player with an attack power of 100, surrounded by slag with a combat power of 5. It doesn’t matter if I use gunpowder to increase it to 150. Anyway, it's just a knife and there's nothing left.

In contrast, fertilizer, agriculture, and water conservancy technology are the focus of Zishou's attention, and, most importantly, even if he invented gunpowder, what would he use it for?Open mountains and build roads?No use, not that much trade volume; combat?What's more, the land that has been conquered now can't be directly governed at all. It is simply adding land and power to those princes and entering the Warring States era ahead of schedule.

Maybe it will only be used as fireworks, and Zishou is still afraid of his own safety after the spread of gunpowder. At least most of the weapons can't break his defense now, but there are really people buried in the palace or on the road. With tens of kilograms of gunpowder, one of our own people will definitely fly.

Let's leave that kind of thing to future generations. When you die, you can find a way to make a small portion and put it in the tomb. Oh, it's best to be a gunpowder mechanism. Whoever dares to steal your own tomb will be blown up by his mother! [So King Qin Xiang dug up the golden man in this way]

As for the fact that he can also fly, Zi Shou doesn't care, he is dead, it's just a pile of bones, but that is to say, it doesn't mean that he can face it with a smile when someone digs his bones, of course it is When you die, use a three-layer coffin, the inner one is made of bronze, and the outermost one is made of wood.

If there are no funerary objects, they will be stuffed with gunpowder. When the tomb robbers are robbing the tomb, they will definitely raise a fire to illuminate it. The fire will be held next to the coffin filled with gunpowder-to ensure a spectacular scene, and those fragile relics will be packed in a cast iron box alone. , to avoid being blown up together.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Zhou is willing to send his daughter here." Ji Chang was a little exhausted, and felt that it was better to give in a little bit, not to procrastinate too obviously, otherwise, it will be like this, next year the King of Shang will hire someone to kill Xi Qi on the grounds of his disobedience , there is absolutely no way.

"Well, when are we leaving?"

"The weather is cold and the road is difficult to travel. Uncle Zhou said that we will leave in May next year."

"Hmm... Is Miss Zhou beautiful?" Boyang looked confused, why did the king start this topic again, did he have another illness?

"Ah, it's very beautiful to look at, it is rumored to have the blood of a god..."

"Oh~" Zishou nodded, but his brows were wrinkled. The question of having the blood of a god and man is serious, but let's wait and see when someone arrives.

[PS]

Exploding magical allusions and dictionaries:

Uncle Prince Zhou Zhao, whose mother, Ji, is less stubborn, likes hunting, and has beautiful clothes. Others look at him and point to him, saying: This Zhou's son is not like his father; he is tall, healthy and beautiful, and often looks at himself in the mirror The shape of a woman is different from all brothers.

Thirty sacrifices, in the late spring, the king feasts in the courtyard of Lutai, and all the virtuous people arrive, drinking wine, singing songs, and talking loudly. All the princes, no matter how young or old, are all beautiful in front of them, but the uncle lives next to him, sitting in a dustpan and drinking alone, without saying a word. Word.

Wang pointed and smiled and said: This is really my family's salted fish ear!The uncle laughed, and said to him: "Salty, the king of all flavors; fish, the source of freshness, those who salted fish can be enshrined in the ancestral temple, and give it as salted fish. What's so strange about it?"Wang laughed loudly, and all the brothers laughed at his absurdity.

When the king of Shang died, his son succeeded him, and he imprisoned his uncle in Julu for several years. One day, his uncle slept in the court at noon, and the king laughed when he saw it: why did you go back and forth?The uncle laughed, and said to him: "This is the salted fish turned over." Wang laughed, saying that the salted fish was fun back then, and gave the salted fish to the uncle, and let it go back.

Uncle succeeded Uncle Zhou and changed his stubbornness, but within a few years, he was harmonious inside and outside, his virtue and appearance were beautiful, and Zhoudi was ruled.

At that time, the Eastern Qi rebellion, King Zhao came out of Qishan to help, passed through the old capital, saw the king of Shang's flags scattered, and saw the Zhou army's rectification, pointed to the flag and smiled: This is really a turnaround of salted fish.

The Eastern Qi Dynasty was in chaos, and King Zhao returned to his country. On the way, he was intercepted by the merchant army and wanted to imprison him again.

King Zhao said angrily: I compare myself to a salted fish, and you compare yourself to a cauldron?Then he broke through the siege and went out, no longer facing the Shang Dynasty.
