Chapter 569 Quietly wait for the strong wind to blow Xiqi
"Winter is coming."
Standing at the highest point of the palace, Wu Yan let out a long sigh.
For ancient times, the highest fatality rate in the four seasons of the year was the cold winter, and it was difficult to work in winter, which seriously affected productivity.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is not entirely because of the secret tricks of the Heavenly Court that the dark wind and rain caused the severe drought in the Yin and Shang lands.
In the normal world, the climate of the Central Plains where Chaoge City was located during the Shang Dynasty was similar to that of Hainan in later generations. There were also animals such as elephants and rhinos. The Shang army even drove elephants to attack Dongyi.
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the climate suddenly became arid and cold.
The evidence is that in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, the number of sacrifice records about praying for rain suddenly increased. There is a saying that Xiqi moved eastward after the rebellion, and it was also because of the climate.
"There will be no snow this winter."
Daoist Duobao stood beside Wu Yan and was also looking at the sky, but he could see much more information than Wu Yan.On the level of comprehending the world and using Taoism, Daoist Duobao can completely crush Wu Yan, and even Chang Er Ding Guangxian can crush Wu Yan.
"Heavenly Court is indeed Heavenly Court."
Wu Yan sighed again.
Tianting controls the weather so that there is no snowfall. He is not too surprised, because if there is snowfall in winter, even if it is to the extent that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, the drought in the coming year can be alleviated.
Even if it is too late to cultivate the land, all kinds of plants can be revived due to snowfall. Wild fruits, weeds and even turf are edible food when they are about to starve to death.
But everything has pros and cons.
Snowfall has both advantages and disadvantages of snowfall. If the roads were blocked by heavy snow, it would be too late for Wu Yan to rescue the victims. At least tens of millions of people would be frozen to death or starved to death.
There are advantages and disadvantages of no snowfall. The advantage is that the work of relocating the victims can still be done, and the difficulty of disaster relief is also greatly reduced.The downside is that next year's drought will be more severe, and not only people will die because of the disaster, but a large number of animals and plants will also die as a result.
The ecological balance is destroyed, and it is the human race that suffers in the end.
"Up to three years." Daoist Duobao said, "If the drought lasts for three years, I will call for wind and rain for the king."
The operation of heaven has its own laws. The heavens can rely on their authority to create droughts. Quasi-sages like Daoist Duobao can also bless the world with their own great magic power based on the heavy casualties of the victims and all living beings.
He only said calling the wind and calling the rain without mentioning the specific place, and it is also because Taoist Duobao's ability is that if he wants to call the wind and call the rain, it is natural that there will be rain all over the world.
"Three years, I can hold on."
With this guarantee from Taoist Duobao, Wu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he can bring endless resources from the Ming Empire, and it is not difficult to feed hundreds of millions of people, the survival of the human race is not just about having food.
There are not only human races in this world, but all living beings other than human races are also an inevitable condition for the survival and development of human races.
Relying on the supplies of the Ming Empire, Wu Yan can save the human race without any problem, but it is impossible to save all living beings.
Only Taoism and supernatural powers can call the wind and rain.
"By the way, Brother Dao, how old is my current national fortune?"
Two days ago, Wu Yan helped Su Daji ward off the catastrophe, and spent some meritorious power, including the power of human luck and luck, which can be collectively referred to as the luck of the country.
Taoist Duobao counted and said, "235 years."
up again?
Wu Yan laughed, his national fortune increased instead of falling, which only shows that the construction process of Xinchaoge City is constantly bringing him national fortune.Although there is no golden brilliance of merits and virtues that filled the sky before, it is also the luck of the country to accumulate more and more.
Although the fortune of the country is not of much real use to him now, after all he has shown the power of cultivation, when he breaks through to the realm of rank seven, someone will definitely attack him directly.
But having national luck is better than nothing, the more national luck, the more scruples those people have when they attack him.
"Does your majesty know, Xiqi's firearm?"
Taoist Duobao asked a question, and from the look of his expression, he was not very worried. After all, for him at the quasi-sage level, even if Xiqi developed nuclear weapons, it would not work.
"I know, the firearms in Jizhou are made by Xiqi."
After pacifying Jizhou, Wu Yan obtained some unused firearms from the Jizhou rebels. He also learned about Xiqi's current firearms development level. During the war, he personally blocked a wave of firearm attacks from the Jizhou rebels. .
"However, in my opinion, those firearms are not enough to worry about. Brother Dao, what do you want to mention to me?"
Daoist Duobao pondered for a while, and said: "You blocked those firearms with your magic weapon that day, so the army you brought over did not suffer any damage, but if it is a large-scale battle, whether it is the king or us, it is possible that the other party will temporarily kill you." Trapped. At that time, in the battle between ordinary soldiers, firearms will have a miraculous effect and can cause a large number of casualties in a short period of time. Even if it is not in wartime, if we sneak into the city secretly and carry firearms, it will not be easy for us to use Dao Dharma and supernatural powers see."
Firearms are not magic weapons, and they do not have any aura fluctuations themselves, and the Taoism and supernatural powers of world perception and detection are all related to aura fluctuations.
Even a quasi-sage like Daoist Duobao, who can see things thousands of miles away at a glance, can't really be a humanoid radar in Chaoge City and Xinchaoge City.
If you neglect it a little, it may cause a powerful bomb to be brought into the city. Once it is detonated, it will not talk about the casualties, nor the property loss caused by the destruction of those buildings that have been built, but only the panic caused by this method. , is enough to influence the hearts of the people.
Although the battle in this era is very "gentleman", but when it comes to life and death, it is impossible for anyone to pay attention to the way of a gentleman. Sun Tzu's art of war does not necessarily only have to be invented by grandson.
"Brother Dao said that if Xiqi came to the last moment, he would definitely do this."
To be honest, Wu Yan understands firearms better than anyone in this world, including the saints of the Western religion who taught Xiqi to develop and manufacture firearms, and it is impossible for him to match him.
Not to mention the firearms of the Ming Empire, when he was in the world of Journey to the West, he also used the hard steel Tathagata Buddha's true-Tathagata Palm on the front of the Star Destroyer Cannon.
In terms of Xiqi's ability, it is almost impossible to invent the Star Destroyer, because it is impossible for the two saints of the Western religion to invent it.
Therefore, Wu Yan is actually better at sneak attacks with firearms.
"However, I don't think Xiqi can rely on firearms to pose a threat to us, because we have better ones."
Knowing the power of firearms, but not studying firearms is not because you can't have both, but because you throw away sesame seeds to pick up watermelons.
Wu Yan looked in the direction of Xiqi, Ziwei Emperor Xin's supernatural power had been activated, he saw the whole Xiqi in his eyes, and saw that Xiqi's firearms had a new round of upgrades compared to the firearms used in Jizhou .
But Taoist Duobao next to him failed to notice Wu Yan's use of supernatural powers, and he didn't know that Wu Yan was looking at Xiqi.
"Better?" Daoist Duobao asked curiously, "Has Your Majesty invented anything else?"
Wu Yan did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Brother Dao thinks, what is the essence of weapons?"
Taoist Duobao said directly: "Nature exists for killing."
"Yes, it exists for killing." Wu Yan said: "The swords, guns, swords and halberds used by soldiers in the army are weapons, the bows and arrows are weapons, and the horse-repelling posts are also weapons. The stirrups and horseshoes I invented before can also be counted as weapons. They are weapons. The firearms that Xiqi is developing are naturally weapons, and they are relatively more powerful weapons, comparable to magic weapons."
"Moreover, ordinary people cannot use the more powerful magical weapons. Daoist Zhao Gongming's Dinghaizhu required more than 200 of my disciples before, combined with the power of the formation, it can barely be manipulated, including the golden dragon scissors. .”
When he heard this sentence, Taoist Duobao wanted to ask: You are back, why haven't you returned Dinghaizhu and Jin Jiaojian to Zhao Gongming and Empress Bixiao?The two of them are embarrassed to ask for it, and I don't want to ask for it directly, but you can't pretend to forget it.
But Wu Yan continued to talk, and did not give Taoist Duobao a chance to ask.
"Xiqi's firearms are different. Even with a mortal body, they can have the power comparable to gods, immortals, and demon kings. To a certain extent, they can be called the strongest types of weapons. be strong."
"but."
After talking about the advantages, Wu Yan changed the subject and talked about the disadvantages.
"Firearms are man-made, not made by the two Westerners, but man-made, and people... are mortal."
Daoist Duobao instantly understood Wu Yan's meaning, and said: "The king wants to say that there is no need to worry about Xiqi manufacturing a large number of firearms, and there is no need to worry about them making more powerful firearms. It is really time for them to be desperate, my lord. He is also ready to go all out and send people to Xiqi to assassinate those craftsmen who can make firearms. Without such craftsmen, firearms will naturally be impossible to make. Even the two of the Western Sects will need a lot of magic power to teach the secret method again. Time can start manufacturing again, and the king can still send people to assassinate."
"good."
Wu Yan said: "A mortal body is comparable to a god. After all, it is not a god. The power of a firearm is as powerful as a magic weapon, but it does not mean that the person who uses the magic weapon can also be compared to the immortals who use the magic weapon."
"If you give them time and pass it on from generation to generation, one day they will be able to use firearms to change the world, but whether it's me or Heaven, will they really have so much time?"
"Xiqi studies firearms, and those two who belong to the Western religion are cheating them, just like Xiqi cheated Hou Suhu of Jizhou before. Taking the inevitable battle between my Yin Shang and Xiqi as a node, victory Before the game is decided, firearms are Xiqi's sharp weapon, but after the victory is decided, no matter who wins, firearms will become the source of Xiqi's disaster."
"The prosperity of humanity is the destiny, but today, and the heavens, will they really be willing to see the human race have the power to change the world?"
Taoist Duobao was silent.
Not only did he understand what Wu Yan meant, but he also heard Wu Yan's ambition and unwillingness.
Xiqi shouldn't have this kind of power. The West taught Xiqi this kind of power just to let Xiqi deal with Chaoge.
There is always time to settle accounts after autumn.
But what Wu Yan is doing is also giving the human race the ability to change the world. Will Heaven and Heaven really sit back and watch?
At least Tianting is no longer willing to sit idly by, and personally participated in the big plan to deal with Yin Shang.
"The power brought by weapons is illusory after all." Wu Yan concluded: "The root of the true strength of the human race should be the strength of spirit and will, the inheritance of wisdom, and the continuation of civilization. Kun, a gentleman carries things with virtue. When we Yin merchants become gentlemen, apart from completely exterminating our human race, how can we stop our human race from prospering?"
Daoist Duobao's eyes sparkled brightly, and he repeated: "Heaven is vigorous, a gentleman strives for self-improvement, the terrain is rich, and a gentleman carries things with virtue... I am ashamed of the king's wisdom."
These two sentences must be original by Wu Yan, because the earliest rumor about these two sentences is "Book of Changes" created by Zhou Wen Wang Jichang in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and now Ji Chang is still studying firearms, and has no mind to study anything. It's changed.
The simple interpretation is: the universe keeps running, and people should imitate the heaven and the earth and keep moving forward forever.The momentum of the earth is generous and gentle, and a gentleman should increase his virtues and accommodate all things.
By learning and accepting, we can continue to improve and become stronger.
"Brother Dao is self-effacing." Wu Yan said: "If my human race is smart enough to research firearms by myself, it's not a problem. But Xiqi's so-called firearms are just taught by the two Western Sects by luck. , like rootless duckweed, when the wind is strong, it will just float away, meaningless.”
People who know it just know it and don't know why, let alone they don't know it?
Kill all the people in the meeting, and naturally no one can copy it.
But if the universal education is up to the standard, and everyone can study the method of making firearms by themselves, then killing craftsmen is not very meaningful.
This is also the case with modern civilization. In the era in which Wu Yan traveled, if a disaster like the end of the world really happened, it would be difficult for human civilization to recover successfully in a short period of time.
Because too few people will.
To popularize basic education and popularize higher education, step by step, one day everyone will be like a dragon.
"Then I'll just sit back and watch the majestic king blow Xiqi's rootless duckweed with the mighty power of Chaoge."
Daoist Duobao is no longer worried about this problem, nor is he worried that Wu Yan will let them, the Jiejiao immortals, use magic weapons and their own magical powers to directly participate in the human war to resist firearms, which will damage them Practice.
"I saw that in the battle of Jizhou, the king liked to use swords, and his sword skills were pretty good." Taoist Duobao wanted to give some benefits when he was in a good mood, and said, "If the king doesn't dislike it, I'm not afraid of using swords to fight back." It’s a bit of a feeling.”
I definitely don't dislike it.
Wu Yan was a little excited. Taoist Duobao is not very famous in using swords, but this does not mean that Taoist Duobao's sword skills are not good.
He is the eldest disciple of Master Tongtian, and in terms of sword use, Master Tongtian is undisputedly the strongest among all heavens and myriad worlds.
Moreover, although Daoist Duobao is good at refining magic weapons, what he carries and often uses is a seemingly ordinary sword.
Only these two points can explain that Daoist Duobao's swordsmanship is his most powerful means.
"Brother Dao, please don't hesitate to enlighten me."
