Chapter 10 Winding Paths

After entering the land of Bashu, it is considered to have entered the territory of the Song people. As long as you don’t show your identity, there should be no problem. As for the Mongolians, Yue Lie guessed that he would never chase here. Just look at the Song people here, you should know that this place is not as easy to attack as elsewhere.

It goes without saying that the way to Bashu is difficult to move. As far as she sees, even if the Mongolian horse team arrives here, it is difficult to move. Because there are also forts built on the narrow mountain road with soldiers stationed in guarding the main road, and their appearance has changed a little at this moment.

The Chinese dialect of Sichuan people is the best among the different dialects that Yuelie heard along the way. Especially when some girls talk about it, they have a singing rhythm. This makes Yuelie have a good impression of the land of Bashu, and she even quietly learns Sichuan dialect. Faced with the red soil of Bashu, the green mountains and the sound of birds singing along the valley, they all attracted her the greatest attraction. If possible, she wanted to stay there.

"Get out of the way...get out of the way..."

It was like a squeeze sound, and it also had some breathing and trembling. Yue Lie, who was riding a Dayuan horse, turned around and saw a person slid up the Shu Road. The Sichuan men were a little shorter and thin, with heavy backpacks on their backs. Although they were dressed in their faces, and although the men could see their ribs on their upper bodies, the slightest muscles showed their hard work.

Wearing straw sandals, we stepped on the commonly used mountain roads in Bashu, with rocks exposed, and look at the heavy things they carried. Some heavy metal tubes were exposed half of the baskets. Some of the baskets had complex shapes, and Yue Lie could not tell what it was. Some people were carrying heavy wheels, boards, and all kinds of things that could not be called.

Seeing this situation, Yue Lie jumped off his horse and lay on the edge of the road, lying on a rock convex towards the valley. Those carrying heavy objects were sweating step by step, trying to move up the mountain along the narrow mountain path. The only way they could rest was to lean on the wooden stick in their hands and lean on the heavy objects on their backs on the cliff for a moment. They took out a hand towel that could not be seen in color to wipe the sweat, looked up at the mountain path, and then continued to climb up the mountain step by step.

For some reason, when Yue Lie looked at them, she felt a sense of inexplicable worry in her heart. She couldn't explain what she was worried about.

In fact, these people were sending weapons and ammunition to those fortresses built in the mountains. Pu Jinshu then transported a large number of combat supplies to Yu Jie through water. The number of reincarnation cannons and shells was increasing continuously. As for why Song Ting agreed to the procurement and use of these firearms, everyone will naturally know later.

At this moment, the defense of the Bashu land increased exponentially due to the arrival of these firearms. The employed people naturally had the barrels of muskets and bolts in their backpacks. It would be good to assemble them on the mountain, and this was also a method of almost labor-for-relief by Yu Jie. Simply put, it was to organize the people and transport military supplies to the mountain.

The reason why Princess Yuelie had a fear in her heart was that it was people! The more people went south, the larger the size of the town. Of course, the same thing was that there were more dog officials and the more people looked like they were wearing vegetables. In this matter, she agreed with some of her father Kublai Khan's actions. Although the Mongolian nobles also wanted to collect large quantities of cattle and sheep from herders, the problem was that they were far from reaching the level of excessive tax collection.

Even at this moment, when the Mongols attacked and plundered, the lives of the people would be even better. From an economic point of view, this is called spending other people's money in their own homes, and the benefits generated cannot be measured by their only value. Moreover, these enterprising Mongolian princes are using other people's wealth to enrich their country. Compared with the foolish royal family and dog officials in the Song Dynasty, the levy and custody of the outside world and the servitude of the outside world is much better. This is a true portrayal of the fact that people should die and goods should be thrown.

Yuelie stood on the rocks, and the cold wind in the valley made her white Confucian clothes flutter. In addition, she was originally a beautiful girl, so she naturally showed a unique temperament at this moment. In this era, Confucians were always beautiful. But that was definitely not because of their fluttering form of Confucian clothes, but everyone subconsciously believed that Confucians had the opportunity to become officials holding great power!

However, Yuelie's form did not attract the attention of these people carrying heavy objects. They just took steady steps and tried their best to walk up steadily from the bluestone steps. From a certain perspective, these people carrying baskets truly carry the hope of the nation. Perhaps this is the origin of Yuelie's true fear.

After this group of people passed, Yuelie did not ride a horse anymore, but led the horses and followed the footsteps of these people to the mountain step by step. At this time, her purpose of going up the mountain for autumn outing had disappeared. She just wanted to follow these people and see where they were going.

"Put the basket right away, I will help you all the way!"

Yue Lie looked at the oldest man among the crowd, and her approach immediately gave these people a considerable favor. There was a shortage of horses in the Song Dynasty, especially good horses that were even more lacking. Some people said that the Song Dynasty had lost the place to produce horses. So I would like to ask, can’t we raise horses on the vast plains in southern China? And in such a big China, what kind of terrain does not have and what kind of climate does not have, why is there no suitable place to raise horses?

Commenting on this statement is called "I can't shit" and it's hard to blame the hair pit!

The real reason is that those who are obsessed with power and tricks will not consider such things at all. Even if the Song Dynasty obtained the most advanced technology in the world at that time, the gunpowder that could rule the world with just one word was changed, it was still occupied by the Mongols. Even if Martin did not travel through time and without the skills Zhao Fubo learned from his teacher at that time, the 8-ox crossbow with a range of nearly kilometers would still defeat all the cavalry if it was shot out as a shell.

The "explosion" gunpowder has no effect, but the "explosion" mine array can prevent the cavalry from charging. The sudden musket cannot kill people, but installing a lead ball is a powerful weapon to defend the city. Combined with the "Huihui Cannon", it can cause a 500-meter death area. It is put into a grenade in a human-thick clay pot, so you don't want to attack the city.

Why did the officials and royal families in the Song Dynasty not think about what was the real reason for the demise of the Song Dynasty?
