Chapter 218 Tianshen State

"Bei...Beiyang..."

Chen Yan's surprise contained a hint of incredible surprise.

"Dad! How come our Tianshenzhou is Beiyang?!"

Dad's blood pressure was immediately raised. He looked at Chen Yan, holding up the cigarette pole, with a painful expression on his face. He endured it for a long time, so he didn't knock the copper cigarette pot on Chen Yan's forehead.

"Silly boy! Go and ask that silly little dog under the tree in the east of the village! Let's see if he knows that this is Beiyang!"

Seeing Chen Yan's dull eyes, my father became extremely angry.

"Beiyang is Beiyang! Chen Yan is Chen Yan! Why do you think you are called Chen Yan?! What do you say all the time? What do you think? You idiot!"

Chen Yan was used to seeing his father's expression of hatred, and he was not afraid at all. He curled his lips and said nothing.

When the father saw his Harappi appearance, he took a long drag on his cigarette and stopped talking.

Dad didn't speak, but Wishes heard his voice.

'Well, we knew that the silly boy of the E family had a brain disease a few years ago. Now he is getting bigger and bigger, and his brain is getting worse and worse... Looking at his cowardice, he will definitely not be able to find a wife. It is difficult to find one.

There is a way out, let’s live first and then talk about it...'

Chen Yan frowned and sulked, but his father couldn't argue with him. He sighed and said:

"The name 'Beiyang' comes from the old name many years ago. At that time, before the dynasty changed, the emperor of the previous dynasty divided Tianshen Prefecture into two parts based on a big river. The one to the north is called Beiyang, and the one to the south is called Nanyang."

【Note 1】

Chen Yan was very excited because of this statement. Doesn't this coincide with the memory in his impression?

Although the statement is a bit strange...but at least there is a roughly similar outline!

"Dad, why haven't you told me before?"

Looking at Chen Yan who was gradually getting excited, Dad sighed again.

"You know this is useful for eggs, but it doesn't mean you can't get a wife."

Chen Yan said awkwardly: "Didn't we discuss it earlier and not talk about this..."

The old man looked at his son's "cowardly" look, took a long puff of dry cigarette, and blew out all the thick white smoke from his nose with a "snort", as if he had made a huge decision, and looked at Chen Yan's

Eyes said:

"Two days ago, your brother-in-law who studied abroad came back. He is now more knowledgeable. When we were drinking last night, he told me that in the past two years, wars have been going on in various places in Tianshenzhou."

Chen Yan's expression changed as he immediately caught the key word.

"fight!"

Are they the battles he remembers?!

Ever since Chen Yan came here, he has never been able to figure out whether this place is his hometown.

This place is very similar to my hometown, the customs and customs are exactly the same, and even the food is the same.

But... there are many differences.

This place is called "Tian Shen State", and it is the legendary place blessed by the gods of the heavens - this vulgar saying applies to every civilization that has experienced the baptism of religion.

There are many names for Chen Yan’s hometown in history, so it’s hard to tell the reason just from the name.

Before Chen Yan came here, he was just an ordinary office worker with no special abilities or any special identity. Even after he came here, he didn't recognize the old man in the ring.

Although I met a very nice family after traveling into this body, I still don't have a sense of belonging.

Chen Yan has been thinking, if this world that is very similar to his own impression is really his hometown, then, after a few hundred years, will society develop to what he remembers? His real parents and friends

Will it appear in history?

But he is just an ordinary person. Even if this "Tian Shen State" is really his hometown, and even if his real parents and friends really appear on the historical track, he will not live that long.

but……

If this is really his hometown...

Then, according to the course of history, he may be able to meet some people he has never dreamed of meeting.

That was something particularly important to him.

It was also one of the most important thoughts in his heart after coming to this world.

He couldn't help but ask: "Dad...why is Tianshenzhou fighting everywhere?"

Dad couldn't help but grin, showing his big yellow teeth:

"I heard from your brother-in-law that the current emperor has been letting people steal his house for decades. All of his eighteen sons are not biological. They could still get along with each other when they didn't know each other before. Now we have to choose a new emperor.

I don’t know who exposed the emperor’s hat-wearing issue, and this trick has opened up a huge hole!”

"Most of the eighteen sons have fallen out with the old emperor. Hey, more than a dozen rebel groups have occupied the city and divided the city, and no one will accept it! They are competing with each other!"

Chen Yan was dumbfounded when he heard what his father said.

When is this...history?!

As far as he knew, the most exciting thing in this era was the contest between the nine sons.

There are more than a dozen people who rebel against the king, and none of them are the emperor's own children...

This kind of thing has really never been heard of.

Dad didn't notice Chen Yan's loss at all. He just knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of the old cloth shoe that was about to be stepped on and took a puff of cigarette.

As he puffed away the misfortune, the gloating expression on Dad's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a sad look.

"Before your brother-in-law came back, he just thought that our Baihuyuan area is remote and the terrain is high. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so the war can't burn us. That's why he wanted to come back from Nanyang to take refuge."

"But who knew that the county next door to us was actually hit by a military disaster a few days ago..."

Dad's eyes were serious.

"Now it seems that as long as it is Tianshen Prefecture, no one can avoid it."

The father looked at Chen Yan, puffing away his breath, as if he had made a major decision, and whispered in his hoarse and rich voice:

"Silly boy, don't you always say that the world is so big and you want to see it? Dad promises you..."

After saying this, my father seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, his back became more stooped, and his energy was obviously weaker. His sunken eye sockets made his face, which had been roughened by the sun all year round during busy farming, look even more haggard.

.

Chen Yan heard the meaning of his father's words and was surprised: "I'm talking nonsense! My parents are here, my relatives and friends are here, my roots are here! I live on our White Tiger Plains

Okay, what are you doing out there! If the military disaster comes, let’s go into the mountains to take shelter!”

The father sighed softly: "Silly boy, if the war disaster was so easy to hide, there wouldn't be so many people dying in the county next door... Do you know why I haven't forced you to study these days?"

Chen Yan answered bravely: "Because the neighboring county was hit by a military disaster, the gentleman from the academy took refuge..."

The father took a puff of dry cigarette: "The brave young men from Erhu came back and said that my husband was unwilling to persuade the villagers to pay the grain and refused to cooperate with the gangsters. The whole family was hanged from the beams of the academy."

Chen Yan's face was ashen and speechless. He shuddered when he thought of Mr. Academy's vivid face in his mind.

"I...I can try to change these..."

In ancient times, Beiyang was originally another name for the Yellow Sea, which appeared around the Song Dynasty. In the late Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Yangtze River outlet at Wusongkou in Shanghai was designated as the southern boundary of Beiyang. The area north of the Yangtze River was collectively called Beiyang, and conversely it was called Nanyang.

The Beiyang in the book is not the historical Beiyang and is completely made up by the author.
