Chapter 115 The First Expedition
The summer of Daye's fifth year.
Wang Dashan, a soldier from the Musket Battalion, followed the large army to the outside of Luoyang City.
He was very excited because the generals had already given lectures and made it clear where they were going this time.
That's another world.
It's not a metaphor for entering the next stage of life, but a place that is truly different from this home world.
To be honest, as one of the first batch of musketry battalion soldiers who went to the terminal travel world for special training, Wang Dashan's ability to accept this kind of thing is much better than other soldiers.
Because among the 200,000 troops gathered here now, I am afraid that more than half still have a dubious attitude towards the existence of another world.
But when they arrived outside Luoyang City, and when all their generals accepted the edict, it was like a vast invisible curtain was lifted from their eyes, and scenes like myths and legends appeared in front of them.
They were two pillars leading to the sky. There was a hazy water light between the pillars, blocking the sight of the other side of the water curtain.
Experienced soldiers like Wang Dashan and others could see that it was actually a door.
A door so close that you can't see where the top edge is.
It seems as high as the sky.
The first person to enter this portal is the Musketeers Camp.
Although the number of people in the Sui army equipped with various types of firearms has now reached nearly 100,000, the earliest batch of musketry battalion soldiers with the highest quality in using firearms still maintain a leading advantage in this regard. This is
Part of the reason is also because the elimination mechanism of the Musket Battalion is relatively strict, so the ones who can stay now are the ones who are more talented in practicing and using firearms.
Their uniqueness is also shown in their vehicles. They are not traditional chariots or horses, but trucks that are collected, repaired or even built by themselves from the world of end travel.
As these convoys drove towards the portal, another large group of exclamations that were tried to be suppressed came from behind.
That's because of the black shadow passing through the sky.
It is a wing composed of hundreds of armed helicopters.
Wang Dashan sat on the truck and raised his head, looking towards the place where the helicopter took off. There was a hillside with all the vegetation flattened, and there were a few unclear figures on the hillside.
"There is enough food and grass, and there are enough bows, arrows, swords and guns, but it is still enough to support several large-scale battles. But there is not enough gasoline."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, these gasoline-burning equipment won't be used too many times. When it comes to getting there, the main thing is human power."
"That's what I say, but oil exploration also needs to be put on the agenda."
"There are still not enough manpower. They may not be able to understand the words if they read them. How can we really implement mining?"
"Guixian's cultivation method seems to have a very good effect on strengthening memory and understanding. Let's try our best to popularize it. Then, I will apply to expand the military household and recruit more young people with more flexible brains to learn."
"Military household. Is there any news from above that the military system will be reformed? I don't know what it will be like in the future."
A group of generals in charge of logistics and the staff of the Shenji Platform were talking about it. Nangong Ai waved his fan and said with a smile: "You can obviously understand these topics by just looking at the submitted information. You have to discuss it over and over again.
, is it because you are too nervous?"
There was silence in the field, and a scholar smiled helplessly: "After all, it's another world, and it's not a wasteland like the end of the world where no one lives. It is said that there are monsters on the other side of this door.
Have you seen the corpse demon that was transported back?"
"Since the troops above have been mobilized, it means they have a certain degree of confidence. I don't need to think about these issues." Nangong Ai said, "Rather than having nothing to say to relieve tension here, I prefer to go there and experience it directly."
"That's right." A general nodded and said after watching the musketry battalion's convoy completely drive into the door, "It's time for us to set off."
After a while, there were only a few guards left on the hill. Nangong Ai, who said he wanted to experience it as soon as possible, was the last one of the group to stay. He waited for a while, and then seven people came over from behind.
.
There are four Buddhist monks and one nun, as well as Yuan Tiangang and Zhuge Wolong.
"Everyone is here." Nangong Ai greeted them, led them to the last helicopter, then walked to the driver's seat, put the iron fan aside, and started to fly the helicopter.
In fact, everyone on this helicopter can fly by themselves, and the speed will be faster, but taking this helicopter is also a kind of attitude. Moreover, none of these people will refuse to try this novel means of transportation.
The five people from the Buddhist sect were still immersed in emotions such as "the portal to other worlds", "Yang Guang is indeed no longer a human being", "the three thousand worlds are real, I wonder if there is a Buddha there", their eyes were full of emotions.
There is no focus.
Only Yuan Tiangang and Zhuge Wolong were talking in the cabin.
"...What does Brother Zhuge think of these soldiers?"
Zhuge Wolong looked down and could only see the black mass on the ground, rushing towards the door. Everyone's face was filled with anxiety and joy. Everyone was looking forward to this.
This battle is not for a great goal such as opening up territory or bringing peace. It is just that in the past few years, I can visibly feel the growth of my army and have mastered more powerful power, so I can't wait to show my strength.
strength.
And this stage where strength is shown is the hometown of Zhuge Wolong.
This should be a very grand and emotional scene, but Zhuge Wolong has had too many such emotions in the past few days and has become accustomed to it, so in the end he just said very slowly: "It's full of vitality!
"
This was his biggest feeling.
This country called Sui is of course very different from the already precarious Da'an Dynasty. It doesn't even require detailed investigation. Just living here for a few days can tell you about these differences.
.
But if there is any difference in the first impression, then there are only these four words - vibrant.
Zhuge Wolong felt that he would never forget the feeling when he followed Yuan Tiangang through the boundary gate and came to the sky above Luoyang City.
Overlooking the truly prosperous city, the impact of strong contrast is almost as real as reality.
"Of course it is full of vitality, because Sui Dynasty is still very young!"
Yuan Tiangang sighed like this, as if something he had forgotten for a long time was suddenly remembered.
By the way, the Central Plains of this world actually went from chaos to peace not long ago. There are many people of Yuan Tiangang's age who remember the war in their childhood.
Even though Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was benevolent in governing the world, the dark cloud that people's lives were worse than dogs in troubled times still could not be completely dissipated from everyone's hearts.
But why do I feel like I feel like I’m a lifetime away when I recall the past?
It's just because the changes in the past few years have been too many and too fast, and... it's so beautiful. It's so beautiful that it makes people feel that now and a few years ago are two completely different eras.
If the Great Sui Dynasty was walking steadily before, it is a pity that the surroundings are uneasy, as if it is sailing in the wind and waves, stepping on the cliff ladder, and there is a lingering twilight atmosphere even though it was established not long ago.
So now the Sui Dynasty has completely broken free from the old and tired ocean and turned into the radiant Chu Yang that cannot be desecrated.
There is light in the early sun, which should shine on the world. Only with the youthful spirit and rebuking Fang Qiu can we seize any opportunity to show ourselves.
Therefore, when the emperor's edict was issued, no one in the civil or military circles in the Manchu Dynasty questioned whether "it was too hasty to resume a cross-border war not long after the recovery of Liaodong."
Because each of them is waiting for such an opportunity consciously or unconsciously, the court, the people, and even an illiterate person can realize in seemingly daily life that they have enough confidence to try a way forward.
A road that no one dares to imagine.
To the north of poverty there are those from the underworld, and among them is Kun. Kun can transform into a roc, the divine bird of the world. When the roc's wings are first in full bloom, it is time to go to the south.
