Chapter 1545 Steam and Internal Force
Hua Zheng abdicated after ruling for thirty years, and no one saw her again. The iron-blooded empress who ruled the entire Eurasian continent disappeared suddenly.
The disappearance of the empress caused the huge Mongolian Empire to experience a long period of turmoil, and the feudal lords in other places gradually cut off contact with the Yuan Dynasty.
It is natural that everything that rises must fall.
It is just that the Yuan Dynasty rose very quickly and fell very quickly. Although it was sinicized under the auspices of Hua Zheng, many Mongolians still could not get rid of hedonism. Without the management of the empress, they gradually became arrogant and oppressed other ethnic groups more.
In Taiwan, it is like a paradise on earth. Guo Jing is no longer satisfied with the game. When he knew that Yang Guo owned Taiwan, which is larger than Peach Blossom Island, he stopped playing games. He wanted to use the experience accumulated in the game to manage Taiwan, using Taiwan as a springboard. One day he would counterattack the mainland, drive out Mongolia and restore the Song Dynasty.
With this uncompromising spirit, Guo Jing worked hard to govern Taiwan and carried out drastic reforms, as if he wanted to turn the island into a military camp.
There was nothing anyone could do, and after Yang Guo and Guo Fu got married, they married Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying home, and suddenly became the king of the harem, and he was happy to ignore worldly affairs, travel around the mountains and rivers every day, and save the dying and the wounded when he met a patient.
After a long time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong gave birth to the twins Guo Xiang and Guo Polu on the island of Taiwan. Guo Xiang was accepted as an apprentice by Denise when she was very young, and she spent a lot of time with Denise.
In fact, Duran was originally going to accept Guo Xiang as an apprentice, but Guo Jing firmly disagreed with his wife and daughter worshipping the same master at the same time.
In short, time flies, Taiwan has become a small court, and Guo Jing even wants to invite the pampered Southern Song royal family to Taiwan to take charge of the overall situation, so that it would be justified. Unfortunately, the royal family did not want to go to such a remote place. They liked big cities, where they had food, drinks and fun, and they could get the best care without doing anything. Such a life could only be compared to the national treasure giant panda. Why would they take the risk of killing their heads?
However, Guo Jing was stubborn, so he kept persuading him. In the end, the royal family did not let Guo Jing in.
Even so, Guo Jing did not give up. He had tried it in the game. Although it was difficult, he did achieve a great victory in counterattacking the mainland through Taiwan. Since it was possible in the game, there was no reason why it could not be possible in reality.
However, he thought too beautifully.
Although the Yuan Dynasty had fallen after the female emperor abdicated, it had not yet reached the critical point of life and death. Moreover, they found many models in Quanzhen Sect. According to the models, the court set up a development department to develop these industrial products.
It seems that the baby named industry is about to come out.
Once the industrialization transformation is really carried out, then even if the Yuan Dynasty is more decadent, it will have the power to crush the world.
Of course, if the steam engine is really developed, then this world will usher in the combination of steampunk and martial arts inner strength, which may be very interesting.
This is a great attempt, and perhaps we can discuss the survival of martial artists in an industrial environment.
Guo Jing is also very discerning. He also discovered the power of industry and tried every means to steal the technology of the Yuan Dynasty and developed it vigorously. Moreover, he also has the assistance of the game system. Although it is a game, everything in the game is the same as the real world, so Guo Jing can keep trying in the game world and even surpass the court in some technologies.
Duran looked at the steam coming out of the two places and thought that this era is really wonderful. Some people here are devoted to learning martial arts, some are devoted to studying machinery, and of course there are people like Guo Jing and Huang Rong who work together to study.
Duran couldn't help wanting to see the world decades later. There are still people who use internal force to fly over the eaves and walls, but there are also people who use muskets to fight.
This will be a luxurious feast, and both internal force and gunpowder will burn out their own colors.
Duran called this steampunk martial arts.
Boom!
In Guo Jing's workshop, the gray-haired Guo Jing and Huang Rong were covered in stains. At this time, they both stared at the broken stone in front of them with wide eyes. This was the power of the steam engine, which was greater than the internal strength of these knights who had decades of experience.
The output of the most primitive steam engine was already comparable to Guo Jing's strongest Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
"With such power, ordinary people can easily break through the stone." Huang Rong was shocked. As smart as she was, she knew that once the machinery became popular, no one would practice martial arts for several years or decades, which meant that these knights would have no place to use their skills.
Guo Jing didn't think so much, he just knew that this was the potential for war.
Obviously, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the fact that he didn't commit suicide for his country, Guo Jing was now very paranoid and became a war maniac. Of course, Duran's game also played a catalyst role, making Guo Jing think that he could restore the Song Dynasty.
After the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, many knights like Guo Jing fled into the mountains and forests, and slowly many sects appeared in the mountains and forests, and a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended.
This may be the last time that martial arts shined before the industrial age.
The first steam engine, the first mechanical textile machine, the first steel, the first railway, the Yuan Dynasty and Taiwan were almost like a race in the industrial revolution.
The Yuan Dynasty was constrained by the bloated system, and Taiwan was constrained by limited resources. Both sides faced difficulties in development, but the heir chosen by Hua Zheng was not ordinary, he knew the direction of the future. And Guo Jing also single-mindedly saw the war potential in the industry and devoted himself to development.
When the lords of other places were still coveting their neighbors' territories, the fog of war in the east had slowly risen.
But Guo Jing and Huang Rong never saw the king's army going north, and could only entrust the great wish of recovering the Central Plains to their son Guo Polu. Guo Polu also developed technology wholeheartedly, and paid more attention to people's livelihood. Although he was not an emperor, Guo Polu was already the uncrowned king in Taiwan.
Before his death, Guo Jing hid a book of advanced mathematics and the Nine Yin Manual in his two weapons respectively, hoping that the destined people could study hard and not forget to recover the Central Plains.
The swords were passed on and became the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword.
More than ten years later, a scholar in white Confucian clothes walked down from the black iron train. His name was Zhang Cuishan, and he was one of the disciples of Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain.
This place is Zhejiang Station, which has only been built and opened to traffic for a year. The court mobilized 200,000 young and strong people and spent a full 15 years to build this railway from Beijing to Fujian. Zhejiang is just one of the stations.
This time Zhang Cuishan came to Zhejiang purely to visit friends and just to experience the most advanced means of transportation in this era. It was his first time to ride it and it felt faster and more comfortable than riding a horse.
It must be said that the world has changed. Zhang Cuishan remembered that when he first went up the mountain, there were no such things, but when he went down the mountain, there were. It can be said that there is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the cold and heat are unknown. He has been in the mountains for more than ten years.
Looking at the train again, Zhang Cuishan put away his expression as if he was in another world, and walked slowly forward according to the exit sign.
