Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 27: The ruler from Daxizhou
The war has begun.
The sunset plain is obviously the spacious area in the center of the sand table. When Lin Tuo cast his gaze again, he realized that this war seemed to have won or lost.
The army close to Kyoto collapsed, like the tide of a bursting bank, flooding across the mountains and plains. Behind them is the Xishu army mounted on war horses and armed with rifles and machetes.
When the machete's intense gunfire and explosion, Lin Tuo finally sighed slightly.
"They made guns after all."
When he entered the sand table and talked about science, he deliberately downplayed the content of military weapons.
is only a pity.
With the evolution of society, weapons used in warfare have naturally developed in a highly similar environment.
Although I can't see the details.
But considering the background of the times, Lin Tuo guessed that the firearms at this time may have got rid of their original appearance and can be classified as early rifles.
After the first industrial revolution, this 700-year-old country finally faced a challenge outside the royal family.
Xizhou Governor...
should sound like a character like the chief official of the border. It seems that he has been prepared for a long time. Perhaps he has been preparing for many years, otherwise he would not be able to defeat the Imperial Army.
If you think about conspiracy theories, maybe the emperor’s death itself is not natural.
"I'm afraid that Chi Country will finally have to change to a new owner." Lin Tuo sighed lightly, faintly guessing.
hesitated, he did not intervene in any way, but used the breath method to try to absorb the ether, and then reactivated the time acceleration.
Lin Tuo's attitude towards the civil war in the sand table is always the same, that is, he will never interfere unless necessary.
After all, many times, war is just a fierce solution to social contradictions. It is a necessary part of the development and evolution of civilization.
As for the ether, it is normal to fall during the war. After the war, peace will naturally recover.
Just after the time acceleration was turned on, texts began to pop up in the operation log.
[...The Xizhou Army won a great victory in the sunset over the Plains, and after that, it swung its troops northward, the imperial government was turbulent, and the imperial army retreated steadily.]
[World Evolvement 741,049 In the beginning of the year, the Xizhou Army arrived in Kyoto and besieged it without attacking. Thirty-two days later, the city gate opened wide and the city fell.
The Ochi Dynasty lowered the flag, the Governor of Daxizhou entered Kyoto, established a new dynasty, and the Chi Dynasty ruled over 741 years]
……
……
Take Desert, an endless wall of magnificent barriers blocking everything.
On this early morning, while the research team was still trying new detection methods, no one knew that it was on another piece of land separated by a wall.
is going through a dynasty change.
……
"咚! 咚! 咚!"
Kyoto.
is different from outside the sandbox. At this time, it is late February in winter.
is not far from the New Year.
In previous years, at this time, as the center of the pool country, the capital of the empire, it should be a busy time.
Schools and factories are gradually closed, and on both sides of the street, shops have all kinds of festive food and accessories...beautiful.
However, this year, the whole of Kyoto is just a dead end.
on the street.
was in depression.
The citizens stayed behind closed doors, and the few walking outside were mentally distressed, with a panic expression, like little beasts, any movement would make them nervous.
With the ringing of the electric bell in the city, gazes peeked out of some enclosed houses on both sides of the street.
Then, there was a cavalry formation coming from a distance, followed by a long infantry formation.
The soldiers have long been put on bright red uniforms, dressed completely different from those on the battlefield, with smooth leather boots, and spotless epaulettes, carrying a long spear, and walking in unison, along the main road of Kyoto, straight toward the palace Go.
"Father, mother... Look at... Soldier..."
In the room, there are occasional children making noises, and they will be quickly covered by their parents:
"Don't make a sound...that's the army of the new king."
"...Where are they going?"
"The palace." The nervous parents looked at the soldiers carefully and said, "Today is the day when the new king enters the palace."
……
In the north-central part of Kyoto, there is a group of buildings that still maintain the classical style.
Different from the buildings that have emerged in Chi State, the palace still retains the old style to a certain extent, with red lacquered palace walls and white jade fences.
However, today, the spacious square in front of the temple is filled with neat troops.
Although the square has been cleaned, there are still large areas of dark red. The body has long been dragged away, but the air is still full of blood.
In front of the army, is an entire cavalry queue.
"Silience law."
In this winter morning, those tall and strong horses wearing specific armor flicked their tails and spewed white air.
"This is the palace. I remember that when I came last time, I was introduced to the palace gate by Vonneshi. Seeing an emperor had to cross eight thresholds, it was very cumbersome.
At that time, I was thinking in my heart that when I come back later, I must remove all those thresholds. "
A pure white horse at the forefront.
As the governor of Daxizhou, the middle-aged man, the leader of the rebel army, wore a light uniform. He wore a white gloved left hand holding a horse whip, and his right finger pointed at the palace in front of him with a smile.
paused, and then said, "By the way, where is Vonneshi? I really missed it when I returned to the old place."
, a Xizhou army general replied:
"When the palace was taken over, the former queen led a small group of people hiding in the apse, fighting hard and fast... Feng Nishi was in it."
"Oh? That's dead?" Governor Daxizhou raised his eyebrows.
"Yes."
"It's really strange, why didn't I see that he still has this kind of blood. With him as a person, I thought I would have surrendered in the first batch." Governor Xizhou said in surprise.
"Return to Chief...Your Majesty, the situation was a little abnormal at the time.
According to what we know, the spirit of the group of people in the inner sanctuary seems a bit... weird.
I mean...they were tough and unreasonable at the time. Their bodies were sifted by bullets, but they didn't seem to feel any pain..."
"Is there such a thing?" Governor Xizhou frowned, with some doubts in his heart, but after thinking about it, he didn't immediately investigate it. After all, at this moment, the diehards have been eradicated.
He has more important things to do.
"The hour is almost up, follow me into the palace."
glanced at his watch, Xizhou Governor said, and immediately led the crowd to dismount, a group of Xizhou officials and generals marched into the palace gate.
……
enter the nave.
Although the area of the palace nave is not as big as the front hall square, it is not small. Because it is winter, the trees around the courtyard are bleak and not very beautiful, and there is still some unmelted snow on the ground.
At the very center is a statue more than ten meters high.
It is carved from white jade and looks like a young man.
, dressed in a classical robe, holding a pointer in his hand, with a peaceful face, standing on the palace square, looking far away, as if overlooking the entire empire, with deep eyes, as if hidden infinite wisdom.
"Lin Sheng..." Seeing this statue, Governor Xizhou stopped for a while and uttered the name softly.
Yes, this is the statue of Lin Tuo.
Since he left the country more than two hundred years ago, the monarch has ordered statues of saints in cities across the country. This one was cast by the chief craftsman of the empire.
For two hundred years, the image of Lin Sheng has long become a spiritual imprint.
If you are to make an analogy, it is somewhat like Confucius on earth.
The emperors of all dynasties are nominally disciples of saints.
"How can you let others get involved on the side of the couch...I can't move you now, wait, I will tear you down sooner or later..."
whispered softly, Governor Xizhou looked away and stepped forward.
Several nearby officials who accidentally heard this, their hearts beat at the same time, but they did not dare to say anything.
……
passing through the statue is the main hall.
is also the place where the cluster ministers are called to discuss state affairs.
At this moment, many people are already standing in the hall.
They are all ministers of various departments in the country. They are not many, but not many. They have new faces and old faces.
Seeing them, Governor Xizhou suddenly squeezed a bright smile on his face, as if the spring breeze had turned to rain, and smiled: "Let the Qing wait a long time."
The ministers hurriedly saluted in unison: "See your majesty."
So, the smile on the face of the Governor of the Western Zhou Dynasty grew brighter.
strode to the throne of the emperor, he took a deep breath, turned around, sat in the dragon chair, proudly, waved:
"You don’t have to be so cautious. I have been in Daxizhou for decades, and I am not used to the etiquette of Kyoto, let alone talk nonsense.
The battle has been set, and the next step is to Anmin.
I invite you all to come today, but also to agree on how to restore stability to the world as soon as possible..."
……
In the palace, the discussions proceeded step by step.
The so-called agreement by the Governor of Xizhou is more appropriate than a notification. The whole process is probably that he unilaterally issued orders to the heads of various departments.
Guarded by the army outside the palace, thousands of rifles aimed at, everything naturally goes smoothly.
So ~IndoMTL.com~ Then, from time to time, I saw officials walking out of the temple, trembling, and crossing the square.
……
When the sun rose, the cold in the palace was dissipated. In the hall, apart from the Governor of Xizhou, there was only one person left.
That is a somewhat special "official":
The deputy dean of the Kyoto Institute of Scientific Research and the top scientist in the empire.
The dean took poison and committed suicide on the day of the city’s destruction to kill the old dynasty.
In order of rank, he is now the top scholar of the Empire.
Compared to other courtiers, the Governor of the Western Zhou Dynasty obviously valued him more.
personally got up, and kindly took the chief scholar to talk about family affairs, and then slowly said:
"The old dynasty was strong because of science, and I also knew the importance of science. I started from Xizhou and came here. I killed many people along the way, but I didn't kill any scholar."
"Your Majesty is kind."
The Governor of Xizhou smiled even more when he heard the words, and he promised for a while, probably because he would continue to serve for the new dynasty.
At the end, I remembered what it was like, and asked about the state of a group of rebels in the previous apse.
don't know why, he thinks the person in front of him probably knows something.
Upon hearing the words, the chief scientist was taken aback, with a momentary hesitation on his face, after all he sighed:
"Return to your Majesty, I do know about this... At that time, they should have activated the Secret Seal."
"Secret Seal?"
"Yes. That is the result of a scientific research project with the highest level of confidentiality in China."
paused, he added:
"The same ‘machine’ that can manipulate the human heart."
