I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 542 Alien, Alien
The season can be regarded as entering winter.

Zhikai already knows that there are only a few areas in Badi where it snows, usually in mountainous areas with relatively high altitudes.

So, is Badi cold in winter?
I personally felt that Zhikai was in the middle of winter, and I felt that it was colder than in some areas where it will snow!

This kind of cold is a kind of clammy cold, cold on the bones, making people feel uncomfortable everywhere, no matter how many clothes they wear, it is not enough, only by being around the fire can they feel better.

After finally surviving the winter, Zhikai spent another spring in the "Valley" where it rained every few days.

During his trip to Badi, Zhikai thought that he would lose at least ten years of life, and couldn't imagine how long he could live if he stayed for a long time.

Why are the locals not bothered?That is because they have lived in this environment since they were young, and the various functions of the human body have long adapted to it.

If it were a Badi person who went to the Central Plains, he would also feel all kinds of discomfort, and needed a new process of adaptation.

In spring, Zhikai has never personally experienced the prosperity of all things. For example, when he saw a nest of bamboo shoots a few days ago, it was just a small lotus sprouting.

After coming to Badi, Zhikai’s recipe added a stewed bamboo shoots with meat, which tasted very delicious.

That kind of meat is wild boar, and it tastes better than the wild boar in the Central Plains?Zhikai believes that this is related to the difference in the living environment of wild boars. The wild boars in Badi run all over the mountains, while the wild boars in the Central Plains mostly live in the plains.

"I'm starting to miss the three-layer meat..." Zhixin thought.

Breeding domestic pigs is what Zhiyao started doing when she was in her teens. She has been selecting seeds from generation to generation, and has achieved some achievements in the past [-] years.

Piggy was castrated when he was young, he lost the original fishy smell, and he grew fatter and stronger, but the gene that the head is bigger than the body has not changed much for a while.

Early pigs did have larger heads than their bodies. After thousands of years of domestication and genetic modification, they gradually became more fleshy.This is one of the achievements of human beings for food.

Zhikai in Badi also ate snake soup, but it was unacceptable to eat it only once. The reason is that if too much ginger is added, it will become bitter, and if there is not enough ginger, it will be too fishy.

The local people also eat monkeys in their recipes, and they eat with great relish, which is also unacceptable to people from the original country.

Every place has its own recipes and unique tastes that it likes.

The territory of the original country is large enough, and under the gradual integration, every household is actually adding new recipes, especially the army basically comes from all corners of the country. People communicate with each other for a long time, and new dishes will be produced under conditions. many.

After the end of spring, Zhikai can be regarded as seeing the team start to prepare before departure.

Because he had heard too many words about the dangerous road, Zhikai would naturally follow various lessons. During this period, he saw that the Ba people lived in the mountains and forests as usual.

"The same is true for people from the Zhongshan area in Dayuan. If Badi is conquered, Dayuan will have more excellent sources of mountain soldiers." Zhikai thought so at that time.

The territory of a country is large enough, and each has its own characteristics within the scope of its rule. As long as the ruler knows how to choose the source of troops, it is indeed possible to form troops that can perform well in a certain environment.

Zhikai knows one thing. Last year, the center mobilized [-] troops to the newly conquered Wu land. While serving as the local garrison, it is to let them get used to the environment so that they can play a miraculous effect in the future invasion of Chu.

The original army has already crossed the river, and is currently suppressing the resistance forces in the mountains and forests on the ground, and is fighting with the Chu army at the same time.

This is because the original army first took the land of Wu on the south bank of the great river from the Chu army, and then pushed the front line all the way south. No major battle broke out, and there were frequent battles with less than [-] people.

The Yuan State had almost conquered the entire land of Wu, and the Wu people who were helping the Yuan army attack the Chu army before became an obstacle for the Yuan State to rule the area.

Wu people hate Chu more than Yuan, but it doesn't mean that Wu people are willing to accept Yuan's rule. They will also make people uncomfortable during the reign of Wu Jun in the past dynasties, which can be regarded as a kind of ancestral art.

The original army did not march to Yuedi for the time being. Firstly, Wudi's resistance was too fierce, and secondly, it did not intend to further stimulate Chu State.

It's just that Chu State was unable to rule Yue, and faced the same situation as Yuan State's rule in Wu.

Now, there is no difference between what Yuan State and Chu State did in that area, and the use of bloody means to suppress dissatisfaction can only be said to be very poor in terms of effectiveness.

In the original history, it took more than 100 years for Chu to effectively rule Wu and Yue. It is conceivable how many people were killed during this period!
The Yuan State didn't just use killing means to Wu, but after repeatedly ineffective, it adopted the method of migrating the population to other places.

A large number of Wu country immigrants are being migrated to the area of ​​modern Hebei. They have calmed down in a completely unfamiliar environment, but they still do not change their brutal nature, and what they are fighting against has become nature.

Zhikai can't take care of other things now, but the harsh environment is not completely fruitless, at least he has seen more, no longer feels that good clothes and good food are inherent privileges, and understands how many people are in places that he can't see. Patience and sacrifice for it.

This is very valuable to the heirs of the country.

Many rulers will appear to be ignorant, mainly because they know too little, and ministers with public hearts can still give appropriate suggestions, but most of the ministers actually make opinions that are basically selfish.

In the future, if someone gives Zhikai some advice, at least in terms of Badi's opinions, it will be difficult for the minister to fool him successfully.

They don't officially start until the middle of summer.

Before coming to a big mountain, Zhikai looked at the high place not far away, and at a glance, it was full of huge rocks. He really couldn't imagine how the Ba people could find a passage in such a place.

While waiting to start the journey, Zhikai walked among various boulders, and it was hard not to imagine what it would be like if a certain boulder suddenly fell down.

"There are many large rocks hanging in the air in this mountain. They seem to be crumbling for thousands of years, but in fact they still stand high and never shake." Yu Meng is happy to introduce the current situation of poor mountains and bad waters in Badi to Zhikai.

Zhikai does not like this kind of environment, the space with rocky cliffs on the left and right will make people feel too insecure.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Zhikai felt that his legs were not his own, and his calves kept shaking just by standing.

This is not the most difficult section of the whole journey, but just one of the hills.

Standing on a high place and watching, don't think that the field of vision will become wider, and you will still be surrounded by mountains and mountains.

It is difficult to go up the mountain, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain. If you accidentally slip and fall, the slope will make you roll down until you are blocked by something.

They still took the road sections carefully selected by Pakistan, and they went through unreliable transformations during the period.

Until he came to a section of rolling river, Zhikai looked at the narrow and long plank road in front of him, and became a little hysterical in his heart, and really wanted to turn around and leave.

That river is called Baoshui, and there are many other names.

The plank road that Zhikai saw did not have guardrails, and many places for stepping on were just sticks of wood inserted into the mountain wall, which really made people have to think about what would happen if they stepped on the air.

In fact, what else?If you step on the air, you will fall and fall into the rolling Baoshui. No matter how good the water is, there is no guarantee of survival. Survival depends entirely on luck.

"Nails should be nailed on the mountain wall, and nooses should be fixed along the way. There are safety rope buckles around the waist..." Zhikai is Zhiyao's son. He has received a different education than today's people and knows a lot of knowledge.

Now this point of view cannot be put forward, and relevant security measures can only be implemented after the original country destroys Pakistan.

Not only those safety measures, but even further optimization of the roads should be carried out, otherwise the original country's rule over Badi would appear too vain.

If it were just when he first came, Zhikai would never be willing to walk this kind of plank road.

Having personally experienced what kind of experience, and knowing how many people are doing for this country, although Zhikai was very scared in his heart, he gritted his teeth and went on.

Of course, in view of Zhikai's special identity, even if he himself ignores some security measures, someone will definitely try his best to guarantee them.

A few able-bodied men connected with Zhi Kai with a noose, and the rest of the original army who had to cross the plank road also took the same measure, but they had no choice as to who their noose was connected to.

When the accompanying Ba people saw what Yuan Jun was doing, they might secretly laugh inwardly?Some Ba people who wanted to make a special display paid the price for their recklessness, screaming and falling into the rushing river, and disappeared without a few breaths.

After walking the extremely dangerous plank road, most of the original people, including Zhikai, turned pale. Many of them were not walking this section of the plank road for the first time, and the fright that they had experienced did not ease much.

"Compared to that, mountain climbing becomes insignificant." Zhi Kai said with a wry smile.

you do not say!

No matter how steep the mountain is, at least it falls to the ground and can struggle.

If you stumbled on the section of the plank road just now, you would fall into the river. There are cliffs on both sides of the river, and a scratch can make people lose a layer of skin. Even if you hold on to the stone wall, it is difficult to be rescued. The sinking river is exhausted.

People now don't know that there are many passages to choose from outside to enter Badi, they just choose the one they think is suitable to open up.

However, with the current technology, many channels can't be opened just because they want to.

As for the point of meeting mountains, opening mountains, meeting rivers and building bridges?It won't be possible in another 1000 years, and we can only enter the industrial age with advanced technology.

The next road is a mountain with fewer stones, which is similar to some mountains in the Central Plains in terms of environment, but the ground in the mountainous area of ​​Badi will be softer, and the road will soon become muddy under repeated trampling by a large number of people. .

Zhikai felt that he had been in Badi for more than a year, and the total amount of suffering in the past 20 years was added up. He became more and more numb and accustomed to it.

He knows one thing, the experience of coming to Badi is a precious wealth, and if he encounters any problems in the future, it is nothing if it is not as bitter as the experience of Badi.

Afterwards, they walked through a plank road along the dive.

According to the Ba people, similar plank roads are very common in Ba and Shu. It is precisely because the road is too difficult that almost no outsiders enter Ba and Shu, and the local people in Ba and Shu will not go out unless necessary.

Zhikai memorized a few key words, and some passages can enter the border of Shu Kingdom as long as they change one direction.

So does it mean that as long as Badi is taken down as a forward base, it will be much easier to invade Shu?
That "diving" does not mean that the river bed is very shallow, nor does it mean that you need to dive into the water. According to the local people, don't look at the river surface as if it is very flat. There are quite a lot of eddies in the river. It is very likely that the water will be swept in by the vortex.

It took them three months to reach Ba (Chongqing), the capital of Ba, and stopped at an unknown place.

Because it is about to enter autumn, and the rainy season of the new year will soon be ushered in, it means that it is time to stop and wait for the next summer before continuing on the road.

"Only summer is suitable for traveling every year? We have to wait for another year." If Zhikai hadn't known that his position was stable, he could almost have considered himself exiled.

That is the current era, otherwise, which prince would use years as a unit when he goes abroad?

Of course, it is also in the current era that it takes so long to enter Badi.

In the following years, the climate environment will gradually change, and then the road conditions will become more and more perfect.

It's just that the rainy characteristics of Bashu have not changed much until modern times. Every spring and autumn have long rainy seasons.

Changed a place, Zhikai once again saw a new wonder.

In this mountainous area, it is foggy almost every morning. It is okay if the sun is out, but sometimes the environment is shrouded in fog all day without the sun.

The local people have long been accustomed to this climate and environment, and how to live their lives is still the same. Many people don't take the weather shrouded in fog seriously at all, and can go up the mountain for gathering and hunting early in the morning.

"Half of the stored grain is moldy?" Zhikai was a little confused when he heard the report.

They have tried their best to ensure that the stored grains are dry, and they have confirmed that they have not been drenched in water, and they can still make the stored grains moldy?
They carry a lot of food, but half of them are moldy, so they can't guarantee to reach the city of "Ba".

Zhicheng said with a sad face: "The local area is not good at farming, so I don't have such troubles."

Is this also an advantage?It's almost like a cold joke.

how to say?The current Ba people, they kind of rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but because most of them are mountainous, they really have no way to carry out farming.

The country of Shu is better than the country of Ba. At least there is a wide range of plains around "Chengdu". Even if the water conservancy projects have not been built, there is still much more land for farming than the country of Ba.

Zhikai asked: "There is not enough food, how can we survive?"

Zhicheng thought for a while and said, "Eat more fruits and meat?"

Zhikai knows how the Ba people live, and he hesitates because there are so many of them, are the surrounding resources enough?
