The rapid sound of horse hooves awakened the boy who was leaning on the carriage seat from his deep thoughts. He looked around in a daze, but nothing happened as expected.
In fact, it may not be a good thing if you actually go back by yourself.
He knew his body very well. His blood lipids and blood pressure were frighteningly high. If he really lay down, he might not be able to wake up. Even if he woke up, it would be too difficult. And if he had to stay in that hospital bed for a long time, he would not be able to wake up. For ten or twenty years, he would rather stumble forward in this unknown world.
He sighed softly and looked at the thin green shirt he was wearing. The jade belt tied around his waist was slightly loose, which made him uncomfortable. When did his three-foot-five waist become like this?
Although losing weight has always been what he longed for, the current situation was really hard to be happy about.
That's right, time travel, such vulgar time travel, he didn't know how he became like this.
Feng Keng, the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang, also named Ziying, Feng Ziying, what the hell is this?
Well, he didn't know if he was the Feng Ziying in "Dream of Red Mansions" written by Zhi Pihui School before he passed out. But wasn't the Feng Ziying in that book handsome and energetic, known as the Four Heroes of the Red Chamber, already weak?
Looking at his hands, they look like those of a child around eleven or twelve years old. They just have a little more strength and a thick callus that is gradually fading away.
And the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, God knows how this Great Zhou Dynasty came into existence, but it actually still exists. Didn’t the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties last two thousand years? In the past few days, Feng Ziying has read the official history. This Great Zhou is not that Great Zhou, but the Zhang family's Great Zhou.
In the fifth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Chong and Liu Chen of Mahu in Northern Zhili revolted, sweeping across Northern Zhili, Shandong, and Henan. In the sixth year of Zhengde, the imprisoned Suzhou machine worker leader Ge Xian escaped from prison and led the Suzhou Jihu weavers to revolt. Sweeping across Jiangnan.
In May of the same year, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao raised the banner of rebellion in Nanchang. At this time, the power of the military god Wang Yangming was no longer enveloped, and Jiangxi fell.
In August, Zhang Dingkui, the seventh-generation grandson of Zhang Shicheng, one of the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty, raised his troops from Suzhou and raised the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty again. The entire Ming Dynasty finally entered an unexpected end due to Emperor Zhengde's debauchery. Gone in the game.
In December of the seventh year of Zhengde, Zhang Dingkui captured Jinling and declared the official capital of Jinling. The country was named Dazhou. He immediately launched the Northern Expedition and swept through the Central Plains. Finally, he completed the dynastic change and established the Dazhou Dynasty.
So history changed for no reason, so Feng Ziying came to this land of Shandong in the second year of Yonglong of the Zhou Dynasty for no reason.
Feng Ziying didn't remember exactly what era the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty was when converted into the Western Yuan Dynasty, but he probably remembered that it was the early sixteenth century, and the Zhou Dynasty had been established for nearly a hundred years, and there had been three or four emperors, that is to say It should be the beginning of the seventeenth century now, but it should be between 1600 and 1610. The specific date needs to be found by people from the West to know.
I just don’t know if the Ming Dynasty fell, but did the newly rising Zhou Dynasty change history? Did Matteo Ricci and Luo Mingjian come to China, and was Macau occupied by the Portuguese?
All this is because he came to this time and space for too short a time, and the lack of information made him ignorant of all this.
Feng Ziying is not an engineering dog, but a liberal arts man. He is not a history major, but he has some connections with history. He majored in political education in the normal school and has some understanding of history, so he has a rough understanding of the history of the late 16th century and the early 17th century. impression.
Fortunately, thanks to the Ming history craze set off by "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", "The Sixteenth Year of Wanli" and "Da Ming 1566", in order to avoid falling behind in finding topics for dinner with his colleagues, he also pretended to be fake. So I went to read "History of the Ming Dynasty".
The problem is that it's just a quick glance at a flower, and it's basically just a matter of swallowing it up. Fortunately, my memory is not bad.
The problem is that now the Ming Dynasty has ended, the Wanli Dynasty is gone, and the Nine Thousand Years Old and Carpenter Emperors will probably not appear. Zhang Juzheng, who is said to have been the same through the ages, has lost the stage of the Ming Dynasty, and there is probably no chance of it. Even if there is a chance, It shouldn't be a big drama, and it has ended long ago in terms of time.
What about the Battle of Renchen? What about Toyotomi Hideyoshi and that old turtle Tokugawa? Feng Ziying's thoughts seemed to be spinning. Where was Li Chengliang? Where are the Jianzhou Jurchen’s seven greatest hatreds? Do these histories still exist?
Feng Ziying is really curious about what this deflected world will look like, but based on his trembling observations over the past month, I am afraid that the situation in the Zhou Dynasty is really not good, at least from the bits and pieces in rural towns. You can spot a leopard with just a drop of water.
"Brother Keng, we are about to arrive at the pier." Feng You's voice came from in front of the car, "Brother Qing and Brother Bao are all waiting."
"Uncle You, why are you waiting for me? Do you still expect me to shake off a little before I leave?" Feng Ziying sat up straight and stretched out her hand to open the curtain, her voice was a little hoarse, "I don't need them, no matter how bad the world is, I can go to Beijing from here. It’s just a few days, what else can you do?”
Feng You is his father's personal attendant, and this time he is escorting him back to his hometown.
"Brother Keng, you might as well take them with you. I heard that people from Beijing set up a government office next to the pier, right next to the banknote. They paid a commercial tax and also had to pay miscellaneous taxes. It's awesome. There's a lot of commotion everywhere. , there might be trouble."
There was a ferocious scar on Feng You's dark face on his left cheek. Feng Ziying knew that it was an arrow wound. It was injured in the battle with the Tatar cavalry in Datong Town. Fortunately, it was a little off, but even so, Feng You's The left side of his face was probably damaged, and his expression was a bit unnatural, and he looked a bit ferocious.
"Oh? How long have you been here? Has the palace arranged for someone to come?" Feng Ziying has been staying in the old house these days. She started to have a fever from the moment she got off the ship. The fever made her dizzy, and Feng Ziying, who had escorted him to her hometown, was stunned. You and the boy servant who came with him were so frightened that they finally recovered after a few days. However, Feng Ziying was still a second-generation person, Feng Ziying mixed with the soul of her previous life.
In the Feng family in Beijing, Feng Ziying is the only one of her generation. The eldest master and the second master both died fighting in the north a few years ago, leaving only the third master. If not for the death of an important elder in the family, , he was arranged by his father to return to his hometown to express condolences on his father's behalf. The Feng family was absolutely unwilling to let this single seedling return to his hometown.
"I heard that I have been here for half a year, and I am a companion in the palace." Feng You said with a calm expression, "In the past few days, when I go out, I feel a little dry on the street. I feel that something is going to happen, so let's leave early. It’s a good thing.”
From Yongqing Street, where the Feng family is located, you have to bypass two side streets to reach the main road to the dock. Such roads paved with plaster and stones can only be found on the road to the dock. Smooth and stable.
From time to time on the road, you can see sullen hawkers and businessmen cursing in low voices. There are also a few groups of people standing under the willow forest under the scorching sun, gesticulating and arguing about something.
Feng Ziying raised her hand to cover her forehead and looked ahead.
The sun was so dazzling that it was hard to open one's eyes. For just a short while, Feng Ziying felt a sting on her face.
After waking up from a coma, Feng Ziying quickly accepted the reality.
To be honest, he even has a little luck in his heart. At least he doesn't have to stay in a hospital bed for the rest of his life. In this world, at least he has freedom of life and seems to have a good family background. Well, he is a second-generation official. Although it seems like this era The military attache is not so popular.
Therefore, he actively began to integrate into the world as soon as his body recovered and was able to move.
To integrate into this world, the first step is to understand and become familiar with it, because based on what he learned from official history, the world has been deflected. This is not caused by the butterfly himself. It is estimated that he himself is the result of the revolution of history. One of countless similar planes.
This is his understanding, but after all, the time point when the deflection occurred was decades ago, so there are still many things that have not changed much. Many things in the history books of previous generations have basically been preserved here, such as language. Text, customs and habits, etc. In other words, the world is still roughly this world.
Linqing City was built as a brick city during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. The State Department, Military Preparation Department, Health Department, Xuexia, Supervisor's Office and Chief Secretary's Branch Office were all located in the brick city.
During the Hongzhi period of the previous Ming Dynasty, as water transportation became more prosperous, merchants and refugees flocked to the area, and the ground in Brick City became increasingly crowded. Soon, business travelers traveling from south to north were on the Zhongzhou boundary between Brick City and the canal, relying on The area around Brick City began to grow, and Linqing Market was quickly formed, which was several times the size of Brick City.
During the Zhengde period of the former Ming Dynasty, the Liuliu, Liuqi and Horse Rebellions occurred in Shandong. In order to protect Linqing's increasingly prosperous market, an earthen city was built outside the Brick City and integrated with the Brick City.
After the founding of the Great Zhou dynasty, Emperor Guangyuan of Zhou Gaozong ascended the throne and immediately followed the example of Chengzu of the previous Ming Dynasty in moving the capital to Beijing and designated Jinling as the southern capital.
As a result, Linqing City has become the key to the secondary warehouses for transporting grain from the south to the north. Together with Jining and Dezhou, it has become the three major transshipment locations in Shandong. There are three first-class secondary water warehouses - Guangjicang, Linqingcang, and Changying. The warehouses stretch for miles, and with the establishment of Chaoguan, Linqing City becomes the first-class city in Shandong.
