The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

That night, I returned to the ground from an underground experiment site covered with solid ice, surrounded by whirling trees, and the scenery was extremely beautiful. Zhao Qing was surrounded by hazy cold mist, looking up at the distant view of twinkling stars in the sky, feeling relieved Ning, faintly touched.

This place is the imperial garden of the imperial palace, but because there are a series of underground secret passages connecting many places in the city, such as Yang Gong’s treasury nearby, in her plan, she will keep the outline of the courtyard and part of the landscape. It was gradually transformed into a large research institute.

The layout of the former Sui imperial palace is exquisite, unique and extremely gorgeous, occupying a large area in the north of the city, but Zhao Qing himself does not need such a luxurious place at all, nor does he need other people to attend to his daily life. He only needs it for carrying government documents and experimental results. Others do it to save time.

Therefore, although there is not enough manpower to renovate this Daxing Palace, which represents the supremacy and majesty of the imperial power, after the concubines and maids in the original palace were transferred and resettled, a considerable part of the gorgeous palace here Reduced to a warehouse for storage.

When Zhao Qing walked out of the secret passage leading to the Xijiyuan Research Institute, the imperial garden that was only blown by the breeze in the autumn night suddenly blew a bitter cold wind, and a layer of crystal clear hoarfrost instantly condensed on the flowers, plants and trees , illuminating the entire garden under the starlight and moonlight.

Although the ice is colder than the snow, the sound of wind it makes when it passes over the eaves of the palace and the trees in the garden seems to have a special artistic conception. No matter how it changes, it can always cleanse the mind and make people forget the mundane world. It is full of natural charm and the principles of heaven and earth.

At the same time, two colorful jade stones suddenly appeared in her hand, and they floated lightly into the air, circling and dancing, as if echoing the sound of the wind. However, the gemstone inlaid on the top of the sacred crystal jade spirit stick.

Under the light of the bright Wucai stone, the condensed frost in the surrounding environment naturally melts into a hazy mist, which is reflected in the air like a colorful cloud and Danxia, ​​emitting a strange fragrance;
And on the surface of another gemstone of the spirit staff, it seems to flow out streams full of spiritual energy, spontaneously flocking to the plants and trees in the garden that show decline in autumn, making these plants bloom with brilliant vitality, branches and leaves The green color appeared on the ground, and bright flowers bloomed again.

It seemed to be attracted by the supernatural power of these two precious jades. There were no clouds and mist covering the stars and moons in the high sky, but they still echoed, and the pure essence of heaven and earth fell down one after another, turning into continuous drizzle, and Some of them condensed into flocculent snowflakes when they came into contact with the cold wind below.

"Embroidered clouds are beautifully constructed, and Danxia adds brilliance. The misty panorama is reflected, and the Fusang is scattered."

"To change and fall, to move the essence to catch the light. The wind of benevolence descends in vain, and restrains it with the time."

"No pride on the outside, Qiongyao on the inside. Just like that Qianhong, flying feathers and snow."

Accompanied by the sprinkling of stars and moons, Zhao Qing's mental thoughts flowed, and he suddenly saw the decline in the prosperity of the surrounding environment, and perceived the death in their vitality, and imprinted the Dharma principles of the cycle of prosperity and decline into the depths of his body , thus giving birth to the God of Strength who blends the yin and yang of life and death.

In an instant, time and the environment lost their usual meaning. According to the induction of her soul, among the five internal organs in her body, the heart belongs to fire, the liver belongs to wood, the lungs belong to metal, the kidneys belong to water, the spleen belongs to earth, and the five elements belong to each other. The mutual generation and mutual restraint have already formed a perfect cycle;

At this moment, it seems that there are five spiritual thoughts corresponding to the five elements rising from the five internal organs, each breaking a gap in the circulation of the five elements' qi, and retaining a small section of the stellar energy field in the body, just like the newborn bud tip from the five elements. Like sticking his head out of the mud, he looked cautious.

Immediately afterwards, they swallowed the true qi in the body and the spiritual energy of the world outside, and quickly developed and expanded, turning the inside and outside into large and small nested cycles, which are both isolated and closely related. Under the indulgence, they chatted and exchanged opinions on her, the owner of the body.

The breaking of the cycle of the five elements in the past did not cause any negative factors. On the contrary, it reshaped and formed a larger cycle of the sky, allowing Zhao Qing's own way and the way of the outside world to meet each other in the god of the five viscera, and create a relationship between each other. wider impact.

If the principles of Taoism and pure and flawless spiritual thoughts she cultivated are like an insignificant star in the endless universe of the outside world, then the tender body, mind and thoughts of the five realms just born are equivalent to surrounding stars. the five planets or moons of
It can not only accept the light and heat radiated by the central stars, and expand the scope of the gravitational influence of the entire galaxy, but also play the role of helping the earth block meteorites like the moon at critical moments, or throw them into a giant meteorite to smash Facing the enemy, it is equivalent to wearing a protective suit with both offense and defense.

It took several months, with the help of the infinite inspiration between heaven and earth and the accelerated breeding of the true water of Taiyin, Zhao Qing finally took a step up from the stage of the peak of Gang Jin, and formally broke through to the realm of Shen Jin, and from the time of breakthrough, Heaven and Man Judging from the vision caused by sympathy, the improvement in cultivation is by no means ordinary.

After inspecting the situation of her own stellar energy, she can confirm that its quality and quantity have increased by as much as [-]%, and it will also gradually give birth to a small body that is equal to this [-]% in the five realms of body and spirit. In theory, the aura field is equivalent to doubling or more.

After officially entering the field of divine energy, the original qi will be greatly improved in defeating the enemy's mental thoughts due to the effect of body-spirit resonance and suppression, and because of the change of thoughts, it will be several times more flexible. Destroy the condensed aura of the weak.

However, since Zhao Qing has already reached the realm of sword intent differentiation, this overwhelming advantage of divine strength is not a big improvement for her, but the proportional increase in the total amount of mental energy after adding body and spirit will make her move faster. The speed of reaction, the strength of moves, and the effectiveness of multiple secondary consciousnesses in processing information are indeed real bonuses that should not be underestimated.

In addition, according to Zhao Qing's sensory exploration, the strength of her five viscera, body and spirit corresponding to her body seems to be much higher than the ratio recorded in general classics. Maybe it has something to do with the previous transformation of viscera and nerves?
……

Flying into the air with the magic weapon, briefly experimenting with the changes in the power of the moves after the breakthrough, and thinking about whether to create an upgraded version of "Lingbo Weibu" that can use the three-dimensionality in the air, Zhao Qing moved slightly, and at the same time Considering the situation of the Northern Expedition to the Turks.

Even if he didn't take action himself, in order to train his military capabilities and give many people a promotion, the Turkic people's strength across the grasslands was not comparable to the separatist forces encountered when they unified the Central Plains.

After all, the speed of my advancement is too fast. Except for the Wagangzhai, which has long been uprising and has good strength, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, etc. have not developed much, and the forces such as Li Clan, Xue Ju, and Li Gui have not even reached their goal. Raising troops, in fact, never encountered a real strong enemy.

The reason why Li Mi was beaten to death by the new-style army that had just been equipped with chariots was due to his lack of strength, but a large part of it was that this was the first time a new type of weapon appeared in the world, and no one knew how to deal with it. Appear invincible.

But after a few months, the opponent is the Turkic with strong military strength and nomadic superiority over farming, and the expedition to the grassland needs to take into account the complex terrain changes. If you want to win as easily as in the past, I am afraid it will not be that simple.

On the prairie, the decline of one nation represents the rise of another nation.

Since the rise of Tumen and Shidianmi, the great Turkic Khan, he has commanded ten chieftains, led [-] troops, defeated Rouran, established a nomadic khanate with a wider territory and more powerful reputation than the ancient Huns, and set up tooth tents in Dujin Mountain However, all the ethnic groups in the grassland were intimidated. Although they split into two Khanates, the East and the West, they were still invincible on the grassland.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos in China, and because of Yang Guang's three conquests of Koryo, the people in the north were in dire straits.Due to various reasons, such as unbearable taxation, evasion of military service, and escape from treacherous officials, many soldiers and civilians crossed the Great Wall and fled to East Turks. This not only greatly increased the strength of Shibi Khan, but also enabled him to clearly grasp the situation in the Central Plains .

At present, the Eastern Turks have reached the point of "controlling the strings and millions, and the Rong and Di are strong, unprecedented in ancient times". Khitan, Shiwei, Tuyuhun, and Gaochang are all slaves. Successively following the Tao, the chariots of the envoys have come and gone. Since ancient times, the barbarians have been arrogant and arrogant, and they have never been as prosperous as Ruo Si!"

Purely in terms of military strength, even if the major separatist forces in the late Sui Dynasty were combined, they may not be the opponent of a single Eastern Turkic, let alone another Western Turkic who is only slightly inferior.

On the other hand, Anguo has just completed the nominal unification, basically unable to use the local army, and can only mobilize a small amount of the original army. Khan, Liu, Wu and Zhou have not yet won, so launching the Northern Expedition now does not seem to be the right time.

In fact, the major granaries of the Sui Dynasty have been inherited, and agricultural production has been improved. Now the people of Middle-earth have not encountered any major problems in terms of food, and the cloth is far better than what they had in the past. More, the supply of basic daily necessities is sufficient, so that the world can be stable.

However, when it comes to another currency issue that is closely related to people's livelihood and economy, it is much more complicated to solve.

As we all know, although the imperial court nationalized the right to mint coins, due to factors such as corruption, the quality of coins is uneven, and the quantity has not been enough to circulate in the market. Because of the profit, the situation of private minting by the people has been repeatedly prohibited.

At the end of the dynasty, the political situation was turbulent, and the government itself was also randomly minting money to plunder wealth. For example, Yang Guang reduced the amount of copper in his own five-baht coin by more than half, which accelerated the chaos of the currency system. Privately minted currency was far more prevalent than normal.

However, the quality of money privately produced by the people is mostly inferior. By reducing the weight and fineness of copper, they cut corners and materials to reduce the cost. Crash, it is difficult to recover in a short time.

As recorded in "Sui Shu Shihuo Zhi": "After the great cause was over, Wang Gang was slack, treacherous and cunning, so he cast more privately, and the money turned thin and evil. At the beginning, every thousand weighed two catties, and then gradually lightened to one Or cut iron, cut skins and paste paper as money, and use them mixedly. The goods are cheap and the goods are expensive, so that they die."

Therefore, although the supply of food and other aspects is sufficient, the people's livelihood economy cannot recover quickly without spending a lot of time recycling the five baht coins of the old dynasty and private furnace coins, and recasting them into high-quality legal currency of the new dynasty. The vitality of the country cannot be fully awakened.

If the currency of the former dynasty is directly abolished, serious problems will arise in the already depressed and chaotic economic order, and the court will also add many matters as a result, causing chaos from top to bottom.Therefore, there needs to be a smooth transition process so that the old money in the hands of ordinary people can continue to be used.

All in all, in order to give a shot in the arm to the current situation of economic decline, Zhao Qing paid a lot of money for the Turkic expedition this time, directly using the gold stored in Yang Gong's treasury and the tomb of the Great Khan, which is more valuable than copper coins There are many, and the new army is formed through the voluntary recruitment system.

Taking the million taels of gold buried with the Turkic Khan as military expenses and using it to attack the Turkic Khan has to be said to be a bit different.

After learning about the huge amount of military pay, many people who were terrified of the Turkic people, whether they were old people or children, signed up to join the army one after another. There are also avengers who hate the Turks deeply...

However, the number of soldiers is not numerous but fine, including some of the original elite, the size of this army is limited to 10, but due to the installation of various new weapons developed and a large number of weapons Accompanied by masters, the overall combat power is by no means inferior to any strong army in the past and present, and it is even much better.

Knowing that after thousands of years, they will encounter alien civilizations that are many times stronger than the Turkic people, Zhao Qing clearly understands that human beings in this world should establish a systematic and scientific military theory as soon as possible, and in this regard, she I am not very good at it, what I need more is the wisdom of the people.

In fact, although she has basically mastered the ancient tactics, since the expeditionary army is very different from the ancient army in the past, it is difficult to predict how it will be played at that time. The case of the Turks.

Speaking of which, after "Sword of Heaven" Song Que issued a letter of war to Bi Xuan, the number one master of the Eastern Turks, Bi Xuan took a long time to respond, saying that both sides had powerful forces behind each other. It is unfair to fight in the grassland or in the Central Plains. It is better to send out a disciple to exchange ideas with each other and prove martial arts.

The current commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force is Li Jing, who was taught military and martial arts by Song Que, and Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, Jieli Khan, etc., who are also Bixuan's disciples in name, have defected to the Turkic people. Liang Shidu happened to be the enemy he wanted to defeat in this war.

……

On the same night, on Langshan Mountain at the west end of Yinshan Mountain, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, the earth is confused, and the clouds are dense, which is quite rare at the turn of autumn and winter.

In terms of geographical division, this place belongs to the Houtao Plain in the Hetao Plain. Houtao is adjacent to Yinshan Mountain in the north and Hequ in the south. It stretches for 20 miles from east to west. The width varies from north to south. For more than [-] miles, the Turks call it Chilechuan.

As a part of Yinshan Mountain, the top of this mountain has jagged rocks and looks like a wolf howling up to the sky. Travelers call it Wolf Mountain. It is an auspicious omen in the eyes of Turkic people, and they regard it as the incarnation of the wolf god they believe in. A hidden stone temple for sacrifices was built in the dense forest on the southern slope.

Under normal circumstances, the livestock on the prairie are fat and strong at this time, and they do not need the special care of the nomads, so that their young and middle-aged can get out of the animal husbandry and join the huge hunting team. Go south to plunder the Central Plains when you have the opportunity.

And every time the Turks commit southern crimes, before crossing the Yellow River, their commander must first go to this temple to worship the wolf god, in order to win the flag, and the result is that they win every battle. From then on, entering the temple to worship the god has become an inevitable action before crossing the river.

At this moment, under the wolf-shaped strange rock on the top of the cliff, in the dense forest that looks like ghosts, there is a building like an altar. The altar of the wolf god known to the people of the Central Plains.

At the four corners of the platform there are circular stone plates supported by columns, each half a foot high, and the fire is burning in the plates, like four oversized torches, illuminating the square stone table in the center of the high platform as if it was stained red with blood.

A [-]-level long stone step descends and extends downwards on the other side of the high platform. It is obvious that it has just been cut in the dense forest and stretches straight to the mudstone road outside the forest. It has an imposing momentum. .

On both sides of the forest road, every five steps, there stood valiant and fully armed Turkic warriors, holding shields in their left and spears in their right, and they lined up outside the forest, adding to the solemn and serious atmosphere.

Accompanied by the sound of rushing water and waterfalls near the Wolf Mountain, horns sounded together, howling wolves hissed, and at the same time sounded outside the forest. It was the cry of Turkic warriors imitating wolves. There were tens of thousands of people howling together, which made people feel creepy .

Immediately afterwards, the torch light appeared at the entrance of the forest road, about a hundred steps away from the wolf temple.A group of people drove into the forest road and kept approaching.At the front were eighteen knights holding torches. They arrived at the long stone steps, spread out to both sides, and raised their torches to illuminate the way up the steps.

And behind the knight holding the torch, an old voice suddenly sounded: "Under the witness of the wolf god Zhili'anlue, it is a plan to support Yang Xuyan or other royal families of the old Sui Dynasty under the banner of restoration and support a puppet emperor in the Central Plains." how is it?"
