Chapter 68: Yan Yun's Upheaval
The new book "The Legend of Immortals in the Infinite World", please support, click, recommend, and collect... There seems to be another chapter at twelve o'clock, and then at 7:1 in the morning...
"Looking forward to our goodbye!" The Sun God disappeared. Master Wen also flew up, pulling up a ball of rain clouds to cover his body, and flew towards Lai Lv.
An extremely powerful and angry will emerge from the endless rain forest, as if it were every grass and tree in the rain forest, every piece of soil and every stone.
Countless tiniest lives merged into an extremely powerful will at this moment, roaring angry. There seemed to be a strong wind roaring around hundreds of miles, causing countless big trees to shake continuously.
A black cloud in the sky was like a galloping horse, and it hid in a dangerous way.
It seemed that the Feather Snake God had already discovered something was wrong, Wen Fei smiled slightly, but he had now flew out of the Feather Snake God's divine power range. Even the Feather Snake God is said to be transformed by the will of the Rain Forest, but the divine power is not far away.
The simplest example is that he probably never knew about Fuyuan City where Master Wen Da Tian is.
Master Wen pressed the clouds and descended on the island. Seeing his return, everyone was overjoyed and knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly to Master Wen.
Originally, the Great Master of Heaven said that he had gone out for one night, but he didn't expect that he would go out for so long at once. It made them wait for so long like an ants on a hot pan.
"Great God, you are finally back!" Nan Shi said happily. As God's maid, he was qualified to come up and talk to God at will.
Even Li Gui, who is the leader of a warrior, could not speak casually without giving instructions. Even ordinary civilian slaves were not allowed to look up at the great gods. The level was quite strict.
"You can call me the God of Death now!" Wen Fei said lightly and released an oracle.
"Yes." Everyone respectfully obeyed the orders. Although no one would understand that Master Wen would call himself the God of Death, this kind of thing was not what they should ask. Just obey it honestly.
"I am the God of Death, and I will rest for the dead and protect the dead into my world to sleep. Every life will die as long as it is born, and will sleep in my arms." Wen Fei simply announced his new doctrine.
Although I don't understand it very well, it is enough to let these people know where their clergy lies.
As for what kind of god he became, Master Wen didn't care. Anyway, these clergy were not important to him.
This is the American continent, not where he is. Even if the sea of Haotian energy does not reject him, he will not have any favors for him, and it is even more impossible to occupy the law and become an incarnation.
Even if it is possible, Master Wen is not moved by this at all.
He seemed to be able to feel that in a distant place, he had a vaguely strong will, breaking through that invisible barrier, making him feel it.

Youzhou City is now becoming more and more popular, like a large construction site. The entire city is constantly expanding.
With sufficient manpower, so many victims caused by war gather here. Work can be used for relief and a huge amount of labor can be collected for free to rebuild a Yanjing.
Although emotionally speaking, Master Wen Da Tian didn't like this place very much. It was probably because of the bad impression brought by modern time and space. After all, in the impression given by later generations, it was an inappropriate place to live.
But the same is true. Master Wen Da Tian had to admit that it had a natural and irreplaceable role in establishing it here after the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In Wen Fei's view, Chinese history has two periods from a regional perspective. One is an era with Guanzhong and Luoyang as the core. In the impression of ordinary people, this era is often the strong Han and prosperous Tang dynasties, full of vitality.
The latter one is an era with Yanjing as its core. It often gives people the feeling of being in a dull atmosphere or being in a dull journey. This seems a bit exaggerated, but even the capital of modern time and space has never given a good impression of Master Wen.
However, in Wen Fei's view, this can actually be analyzed from the perspective of mysticism and economic factors. From the perspective of luck, the dragon vein moves eastward.
From an economic perspective, in the Han and Tang dynasties, the Western Regions were economically developed and the Silk Road was the East-West. Therefore, the Guanzhong land played an irreplaceable role.
However, in later generations, the rise of the Ottoman Empire blocked the trade routes between the East and the West. The Guanzhong land had no chance of arise since then.
The West is also greatly affected. After the passages on the mainland were blocked, Westerners began to find ways to find a waterway to the East through the sea route.
This began the era of great voyage, and found the American continent that could be easily plundered. It completed the bloody primitive accumulation and defeated the powerful enemies of the past.
For more than a thousand years when the West and their enemies at the crossroads of the mainland were enemies, the crossbows that occupied the geographical advantage and monopolized trade between the East and the West had huge financial and material resources. With their advantages, they suppressed the West for most of the time!
However, since the global voyage, the West has obtained huge financial resources from the American continent, quantitative change has triggered qualitative change and started the process of industrialization, and has quickly gained the upper hand, resulting in an absolute advantage.
Affected by this, China was forced to transform from an enterprising country to a conservative country.
Everything that discusses human nature and nationality without economic factors is just a big fuck or a big fuck.
When the Silk Road, the channel of exchange between the East and the West, was cut off and the Western Regions declined, the Central Plains regime lacked the motivation to advance westward.
The great martial arts of the Han and Tang dynasties were also based on the desire for wealth in the Western Regions. Therefore, the Tang army even fought at Hengluo at the farthest. This was supported by strong financial resources, rather than the little surplus wealth created by the agricultural civilization.
However, after the decline of the Western Regions, the Western Regions, which had originally deteriorated in their natural environment, became more and more desolate and could no longer attract the attention of the Middle-Turkish regime.
Similarly, the Huns and Turks also supported the powerful empire with the huge wealth of the East and West trade routes. After the northwest became deserted, the Northeast, which could cultivate and abundant resources, became a hotbed of powerful nations, and since then it has plagued the Middle-Turkish regime for thousands of years.
But the Mongolians are different. The financial resources behind the Mongolians are the great cannibals. Those who help the Mongolians manage their finances and even help them deal with the various robbed wealth are those great cannibals who are good at doing business.
What Master Wen Da can do now is to leave behind the Khitans and compress the powerful space for survival of the Mongols or later grassland peoples.
This is a dangerous move, and no one knows what the future is. However, there is no specific political strategy that can control the future forever. As long as there are more disadvantages and fewer advantages in front of you, you can do it. It depends on your adjustments to the situation later!
Geographically speaking, the Song Dynasty was still in the circle of Luoyang in Guanzhong. However, the turmoil at the crossroads of the Western Xia and the mainland blocked the Silk Road, and the prosperity and vastness in the northeast began to breed a powerful opponent in the Central Plains.
This is an era of great change and also an era of great turning point. The entire global trend is undergoing silent and tremendous changes in this era and begins to affect the global pattern for the next thousand years.
All of them are laid in this era!
So no matter what, Master Wen Da was the first to lay out two pieces in this stormy era in this chess game with the whole world as the chessboard.
One is to occupy the Northeast and solve the problem of nourishing external troubles. The other is to make the Song Dynasty laugh to the end in the global competition!
Those who win the Americas will win the world!
Therefore, even if Master Wen Da Tian likes this city near the pass, he must establish his capital here no matter how much he does not like his personal feelings.
Moreover, the establishment of a capital here has an advantage that no other place does not have. In China's historical pattern, no matter from any aspect, it is bound to the south.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded in the Northern Expedition, or the later artillery party unified the north from the south, every outcome was seen, and Zhu Di quickly moved the capital to the north. The artillery party did not even achieve the final unification of the whole country.
Therefore, the imperial capitals of all dynasties in China could only choose to be in the north. But there is another problem, the problem of material transportation in huge cities with a population of millions. Under ancient technical conditions, the most likely transportation of bulk materials was still water transportation.
The material transportation in Chang'an reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty and even in the early Tang Dynasty. Even the emperor had to lead a large army to lead a large number of troops when the food price rose in the desert, and the princes and nobles went to Luoyang to eat.
The period from Luoyang to Chang'an has become a huge bottleneck in transportation power.
As for Kaifeng, I won’t talk about the disadvantages in this strategy here. It has reached its extreme just for water transportation.
Now the canals of the Song Dynasty are completely managed by manpower. Various methods to solve hydraulic problems have not been effective. The silt in the Yellow River is getting higher and higher. It completely requires the Song Dynasty to invest huge manpower and material resources to maintain it!
Just look at the major flood in the original history that the Yellow River at the foot of Dali Mountain changed its course. After the collapse of the Northern Song Dynasty regime, the canal was so fragile!
However, Yanjing has the greatest advantage of the northern imperial capital, that is, it is not far from the coast. In later generations, the canal capacity to Yanjing was also at its peak, but it could be easily changed to sea transportation.
In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, most of them were transported by shipping various places through sea.
Therefore, the land of Yanjing can solve such a huge problem first! It has advantages that other places cannot replace, so it became the imperial capital for nearly a thousand years after the Yuan Dynasty. (To be continued...)
