Master Wen Datian stretched out one hand, and there was a spider's shadow as big as a ping-pong ball in the palm of his hand. The shadow gradually expanded and expanded like a balloon, becoming as big as a calf.

The people of the Red Spot tribe were all excited, cheered and even fell down. This was the ancestral god guarding their tribe, and everyone knew it.

But what happened next made none of them widen their eyes, almost glaring out their eyes, suspecting that everything they saw was not fireworks.

The spider shadow, which turned into a giant, kept trembling, as if he was very afraid of Master Wen. Even Master Wen pressed his hand on its head, and the shadow even lay down like a pet.

Now the Red Spots could no longer calm down and looked at Wen Fei with fear...

.............

In the spring of the seventh year of Feixiong, Shangfu led an army of 100,000 to recover Youyun in February. He entered the city alone, surrendered to Guo Yaoshi, Xiao Gan and others, and captured Yelu Dashi.

Song Jiang and others led their troops to float on the sea, attacked the Jurchens' retreat, defeated the Jurchens and went to Beijing, and killed countless people.

The partial army Miao Lei led 10,000 cavalry to Jiashan to welcome the Liao lord Yanxi. He met 50,000 Jurchen cavalry, and both sides stood in the Dahei River. Wanyan Wushi was in the battle and witch danced in the army. Lei Qian sincerely invited Shangfu, so he fired Tianlei and killed Wushi and Loushi.

The bandits were defeated, and thunder cavalry chased them. They fought dozens of battles in all sizes and big cities along the way. The roads of the West Beijing were pacified.

Shang's father came to Gubeikou and worshiped the Qin Emperor's Great Wall. Zhang Jue, the garrison general of Pingzhou, brought his troops to surrender.

The Liao lord Yanxi came to Bianliang and presented the imperial seal. The emperor was very happy and named the Khitan king. He returned to his two capitals and was the Song vassal frontier for generations.

In March, Shangfu led a Hu Han army of 200,000 to the frontier. Since the late Tang Dynasty, the Han family's homeland coefficient has been conquered. Since Tianbao, the Han family's military front has never had such a strong position.

Compared to the high spirits of Song Jun, the Jurchens were now in a tragic and bitter rain. No one expected the original good situation, but suddenly it turned sharply.

No one expected that the situation would deteriorate so quickly. Originally, even if the 50,000 troops were wiped out, Wanyan Wushi and Wanyan Loushi were killed in battle. For their Great Jin Kingdom, it could only be considered a trauma. But it was not a fatal blow.

But after this battle, the Jurchens suddenly seemed to be in a state of failure, with the smell of wind and rain everywhere. Even the land of the Liao Kingdom that was captured became ready to move.

The Five Capitals of Liao Kingdom. Originally, the Jurchens almost all defeated the Four Capitals. Wushi and others. Not only was the Xijing Road occupied by the Song Dynasty.

The Zhongjing Road was originally empty and out of reach, and now it cannot be protected. Yanjing was occupied by the Song Dynasty. Now the only ones in the hands of the Jurchens are Shangjing Road and Tokyo Road of the Liao Kingdom.

Shangjing Dao is the birthplace of the Khitans. Although it was the first Jurchens to break through, the remaining Khitans are still powerful. After all, no matter how capable the Jurchens are on the vast grassland, they are still unpredictable.

The land along the way was handed over to Miao Lei to attack. His target of going out to the Liao people was Tokyo Road.

This is not only because Wanyan Wu Qi bought it here, but the bigger reason is that Master Wen was originally not interested in the Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road located on the Mongolian Plateau of Liao. Such places are not controlled by the farming nations for a long time, unless it is in the era of thermal weapons.

So Zhi was released from the other side of Miao Lei's side, and asked him to cooperate with the Khitans and Jurchens to fight slowly. What he wants now is to occupy Liaoyang, and even the entire Northeast of later generations.

In the view of Master Wen Datian, the reason why only the Qing Dynasty in history was able to completely occupy China and rule for more than two hundred years was because the nations born in this place were able to adapt to the Central Plains civilization.

In fact, historically, the barbarians that emerged in the Northeast brought much more harm to the Central Plains than the nomadic peoples on the Mongolian grasslands.

The Northern Wei, Liao, Jin, Qing, and even Goguryeo, which dragged down the Sui Dynasty and made Emperor Taizong Li Shimin return in disgrace.

The Northern Wei Dynasty did not seem to be inconspicuous. It existed for 150 or 60 years in the chaotic times of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, occupying the entire northern China. There is no need to say much about the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

The reason for this is that in addition to the things like luck that are too illusory, one of the big reasons is that the Northeast is different from the north, and it seems to farm.

These regimes all have the nature of agricultural civilization, and these nations outside the Great Wall still retain the courage and fighting of nomadic peoples. They have both the advantages of both civilizations, which has such great destructive power.

Any modern person will know how fertile the land in the Northeast is, and even rice is bought in every supermarket across the country.

However, in history, after the establishment of four counties in the northeast in the Han Dynasty and entered direct rule, the later dynasties were no longer able to effectively rule this land.

The reason is nothing but the weather. It was only the large-scale popularization of cotton cloth during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the development of Northeast China became technically possible.

However, cotton cloth was widely popularized after the mid-Ming Dynasty, but it encountered the rise of the Qing Dynasty. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, it even set up a willow wall, which did not allow the Han people to go out to make a living. However, it wanted to leave a way out for themselves, and if they could not stay in the pass, they would also withdraw from the pass.

For Master Wen Da, such a Feng Shui treasure land must not be left to the nations that may have emerged from the Northeast later, so that they can grow up and threaten the pass. The best way is to occupy it yourself.

Just solve this technical problem of keeping cold!

Originally, this problem was not a problem for Master Wen Da. With a jade pendant in his hand, what could not be solved? But now I have to find a solution myself.

The popularization of large-scale cotton cloth and the use of cotton coats to protect against cold are the prerequisites for Northeast China to develop. Before cotton coats were popularized on a large scale, hemp was used as the main fabric throughout the ages.

Of course, numbness is thick and thin, so the linen worn by people cannot be as rough as sacks, but compared to cotton, it is far from warm or comfortable.

Although African cotton was introduced to the Western Regions through Central Asia no later than the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, it was never introduced to the Central Plains.

It was not until about the Northern and Southern Dynasties that Indian cotton, which was native to India and better than African cotton, was introduced to the Central Plains.

However, even in the Tang and Song dynasties, although there were many records about cotton and cotton cloth, and even treated it as ornamental flowers, it was never planted on a large scale, or even textile.

The areas where cotton planting are limited to wild places in Xinjiang, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian where officials were exiled and demoted.

In the original time and space, it was not until the late Southern Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty that cotton planting began to spread rapidly to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Shaanxi. The famous Huang Daopo story seems to be the Yuan Dynasty who sneaked to Hainan Island to learn the technology of textile cotton from the local Li people.

This, with something, is much faster to promote, especially with the orders of Master Wen Da, which is much more useful than the orders of the government. In the past two years, cotton planting has been popular all over the country.

Speaking of which, cotton planting is not too troublesome, but the real thing is the deseal of cotton.

Before Huang Daopo brought back the tools of the Li people on Hainan Island's Li people's "defense (disturbance, namely cotton treading machines), cotton treading bows, spinning wheels, and weaving (looms) tools, just removing cotton seeds was a huge difficulty, blocking the popularity of cotton planting.

Because cotton seeds are stuck inside cotton boa, there are many numbers, wrapped in cotton wool, and peeled by hand, it seems like a dream.

The tools invented before were quite low in efficiency. After Huang Daopo promoted the cotton-pinning cart, the effectiveness was greatly improved.

Although this coarse lint cotton native to India was replaced by long lint cotton and fine lint cotton produced in the Americas in later generations and was eliminated.

It’s just a pity that although Master Wen’s true deity was wandering in America, he did not see the existence of cotton. Even if he found the seeds of cotton, he would not be able to bring them back.

But even this kind of lint cotton is still popular in China for hundreds of years? It has been planted until the end of the Qing Dynasty?

With cotton, the great killer weapon, entering the Northeast was no longer a dream. Therefore, Master Wen would rather throw the Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road of the Liao Kingdom to the Khitans, but Tokyo Road and even some of the Shangjing Road were controlled in his hands.

The rich black soil in the entire Northeast is the lifeline for the prosperity and prosperity of the Song Dynasty in the future!

Master Wen Datian grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, a handful of black, fertile, oily and rich land, and black humus soil that had never been cultivated for thousands of years.

Not far away, another small river winds through my eyes. This kind of small river is full of dense plants. There are many wild animals, and even the herd of deer that can only be seen in the zoo in later generations can be seen.

This is an incredible land of fertile land. There are only three such lands on the entire earth. The largest piece of land in the Ukrainian Plain in Central and Europe, and the second piece is distributed in the Mississippi River Basin in North America.

The last piece is at the feet of Master Wen Da, the northeast Black Soil District of the Songliao River Basin, with millions of square kilometers of rich land.

This is evolved in cold climates, after long-term corrosion to form humus after surface vegetation dies. It is famous for its high organic matter content, fertile soil, loose soil, and most suitable for farming. It is known as the "cereal warehouse".

Because it takes four hundred years to accumulate a layer of black soil that is one centimeter thick, the humus and organic matter content in the soil layer is extremely rich.

The statement "Stack willow trees to form shade, and grab the oil in one hand" is not an exaggeration. It is a place that God gave to the Chinese nation. (To be continued...)
