Zhikai already knows that there is snow in only a few areas in Bati, usually in mountainous areas with relatively high altitudes.
So, is it cold in Bati in winter?
My personal experience is that in the middle of winter, it feels colder than in some areas where it snows!
This kind of cold is a kind of clammy cold, which is cold to the bones, making every part of the body feel uncomfortable. No matter how much clothes you put on, it doesn't matter. You can only feel better if you sit around the fire.
After finally surviving the winter, Zhikai spent another spring in the valley where it rained every few days.
When Zhikai and his party came to Badi, he thought that his life span would be reduced by at least ten years, and he couldn't imagine how long he would live if he stayed for a long time.
Why are the locals not troubled? That’s because they have lived in this environment since childhood, and the various functions of the human body have long been adapted to it.
If someone from Badi went to the Central Plains, they would still feel various discomforts and would need a new adaptation process.
In the spring, Zhikai had never personally felt the prosperity of all things. For example, a few days ago, a nest of bamboo shoots was just a small lotus with its peaks exposed. When he looked at it the next day, he could see that it had grown into a large section.
After arriving in Badi, Zhikai’s recipe added meat stewed with bamboo shoots, which was particularly delicious.
That kind of meat is wild boar. Does it just taste better than the wild boar in the Central Plains? Zhikai believes that this is related to the difference in the living environment of wild boars. The wild boars in Badi run all over the mountains, while the wild boars in the Central Plains mostly live in
of plains.
"I'm starting to miss three-layer meat..." Zhi Kai thought.
Breeding domestic pigs is something Zhiyao started doing when he was more than ten years old. He has been selecting seeds from generation to generation and has made some achievements in the past thirty years.
Piggy was castrated from an early age, so it lost its original fishy smell and grew fatter and stronger. However, the gene for having a bigger head than its body did not change much for a while.
In the early days of pigs, their heads were indeed larger than their bodies. After thousands of years of domestic modification, they gradually became more meaty. This is one of the achievements of humans for food.
I also ate snake soup at Zhikai in Badi. After eating it only once, I said it was unacceptable because too much ginger would make it bitter, and not enough ginger would make it too fishy.
The locals also eat monkeys on their diet, and they eat them with gusto, which is unacceptable even to people from the original country.
Every place has its own recipes and unique tastes that you like.
The territory of the original country is large enough, and with the gradual integration, each household is actually adding new recipes, especially the army basically comes from all over the world, and people interact with each other for a long time, and the new dishes produced under conditions will be more
many.
By late spring, Zhikai could see the team starting preparations before departure.
Because he had heard too many stories about dangerous roads, Zhikai would naturally follow various lessons. During this period, he saw Ba people walking in the mountains and forests as if they were walking normally.
"The same goes for people from the Zhongshan area in Ohara. If Badi is conquered, Ohara will have an excellent source of mountain soldiers." This is what Zhikai thought at that time.
The territory of a country is large enough, and each area under its rule has its own characteristics. As long as the ruler knows how to select the source of troops, he can indeed form a special force that can perform well in a certain environment...
Zhikai knew one thing. Last year, the central government mobilized 30,000 troops to the newly conquered Wu region. They served as local garrison troops in order to get them used to the environment so that they could be more effective in the future invasion of Chu.
The original army has crossed the river and is currently wiping out the resistance forces in the mountains and forests, while at the same time engaging in small fights with the Chu army.
This is when the original army first seized the Wu territory on the south bank of the Yangtze River from the Chu army, and then pushed the battle line all the way south. No major battles broke out, and battles involving less than ten thousand people were very frequent.
The Yuan Kingdom has almost conquered the entire land of Wu. The Wu people who were helping the Yuan army attack the Chu army have become an obstacle to the Yuan Kingdom's rule over the area.
The hatred of the people of Wu towards Chu is greater than that of the original country, but it does not mean that the people of Wu are willing to accept the rule of the original country. They will also make people feel uncomfortable during the reign of Wu Jun in the past dynasties. It is an ancestral skill.
Yuanjun
They have not marched into Yue for the time being. Firstly, Wu's resistance was too fierce, and secondly, they did not want to further provoke Chu.
However, the Chu State was also unable to rule the Yue Territory, and faced the same situation as the original state's rule in the Wu Territory.
Now, there is no difference between what the Yuan State and the Chu State are doing in that area. Bloody methods are used to suppress dissent, but the results can only be said to be very poor.
In the original history, it took Chu State more than a hundred years to effectively rule Wu and Yue. It is conceivable how many people were killed during this period!
The Yuan Kingdom did not just use killing methods against Wu, but after repeated gentleness failed, they adopted the method of migrating the population to other places.
A large number of immigrants from Wu State are being moved to the area of modern Hebei. They have calmed down a bit in a completely unfamiliar environment, but they still do not change their ferocious nature, and what they struggle with becomes nature.
Zhikai can't care about anything else now. The harsh environment is not completely fruitless. At least he has seen more. He no longer feels that good food and clothing are his birthright. He understands how many people are there in places that he can't see.
Be patient and sacrifice for it.
This is very valuable for the heirs of the country.
Many rulers appear ignorant, mainly because they know too little. Public-minded ministers can still give appropriate suggestions. However, the vast majority of ministers actually make opinions based on selfish motives.
If anyone gives Zhikai some advice in the future, at least when it comes to opinions involving Badi, it will be difficult for the minister to succeed.
They officially set off in mid-summer.
When he came to a big mountain, Zhikai looked at the height not far away. At first glance, he saw that it was full of huge rocks. He really couldn't imagine how the Ba people could find a passage in such a place.
While waiting to start the journey, Zhikai walked among various boulders. It was hard not to imagine what it would be like if a boulder suddenly fell down.
"There are many large hanging rocks in this mountain. They may seem to be crumbling over thousands of years, but in fact they are still standing high and unshakable." Yu Meng was happy to introduce to Zhikai the current situation of Badi's poor mountains and harsh waters.
Zhikai doesn't like this kind of environment. A space with rocks and cliffs on both sides makes people feel too insecure.
Until he reached the top of the mountain, Zhikai felt that neither of his legs were his, and his calves kept trembling just by standing...
This is not the most difficult section of the whole journey, it is just one of the hills.
Don’t think that your field of vision will be broadened when you stand at a high place. When you look around, you will see mountains and mountains all around.
It is difficult to go up the mountain, and it is even harder to go down the mountain. If you accidentally slip, the incline will make you roll down until you are blocked by something.
The roads they took were carefully selected by Pakistan, and some unreliable improvements were made during the process.
Until he came to a section of road with rolling river water, Zhikai looked at the narrow and endless plank road in front of him. He became a little hysterical in his heart and really wanted to turn around and leave.
That river is called Baoshui, and it has many other names.
The plank roads Zhikai saw did not have guardrails, and many of the places for stepping on were just wooden logs hanging on the mountain walls. It really made people think about what would happen if they stepped on nothing.
In fact, what else can you do? If you step on the air, you will fall down and fall into the rolling water. No matter how good the water quality is, there is no guarantee of survival. Whether you can survive depends entirely on luck.
"Nails should be drilled into the mountain wall, and nooses should be fixed along the way. There should be safety ropes around people's waists to fasten them..." Zhikai was Zhiyao's son. He received a different education than people today and knew a lot of knowledge.
This point of view cannot be raised now. Relevant security measures can only be implemented after the original country destroys Pakistan.
Not only those safety measures, but also the further optimization of roads should be carried out, otherwise the original country's rule over Badi will appear too weak.
When he first came here, Zhikai would never have been willing to take this kind of plank road.
After experiencing the experience personally, and then knowing how many people were doing for this country, Zhikai gritted his teeth and took action even though he was very scared.
Of course, given Zhikai’s special status,
Even if he himself ignores it, some safety measures will definitely be taken care of by someone.
A few skilled soldiers were connected to Zhikai with nooses. The other Yuan soldiers who wanted to cross the plank road also took the same measures, but they had no choice as to whom their nooses should be connected to.
Perhaps the accompanying Pakistanis would secretly laugh when they saw the former army doing that? Some Pakistanis who wanted to put on a special display paid the price for their recklessness and fell into the rushing river screaming.
It disappeared in a few breaths.
After walking the extremely dangerous plank road, most of the Yuan people, including Zhikai, turned pale. Many of them were not walking this section of the plank road for the first time, but the fear of the experience did not slow down much.
"Compared to this, mountain climbing becomes trivial." Zhikai said with a wry smile.
you do not say!
No matter how steep the mountain is, at least you will be able to struggle if you fall to the ground.
If you lose your footing on the section of plank road just now, you will fall into the river. There are cliffs on both sides of the river. A scratch can make you lose a layer of skin. Even if you hold on to the stone wall to be rescued, it will be difficult. No one can rescue you and you will have to wait for your physical strength.
It is exhausted and sinks into the river.
People today don't know that there are many ways to enter Badi from the outside. They just choose the one they think is suitable.
However, with the current technology, many channels cannot be opened at will...
As for building bridges across mountains and rivers? It won't be possible for another thousand years. We will have to enter the industrial age with advanced technology.
The next road leads to mountains with less rocks. In terms of environment, it is similar to some mountainous areas in the Central Plains. However, the ground in the mountainous areas of Bati will be softer. As the number of people increases, the road will soon become muddy after repeated trampling.
.
Zhikai feels that the more than a year he has been in Bati is like the total number of hardships he has experienced in the past twenty years combined. He is becoming more and more numb and accustomed to it.
He knows one thing, the experience of coming to Badi is a precious treasure. Whatever problems he encounters in the future, it will be nothing if it is not as painful as the experience of Badi.
Afterwards, they walked along a plank road along the diving path.
According to the Ba people, similar plank roads are very common in Badi and Shu. Precisely because the journey is so difficult, almost no outsiders enter Bashu, and local people in Bashu will not go out unless necessary.
Zhikai memorized a few key words, and some passages could enter the territory of Shu by just changing the direction.
Does that mean that as long as Badi is captured as an advance base, it will be much easier to invade Shu?
That "diving" does not mean that the river bed is very shallow, nor does it mean that you need to dive into the water. According to the locals, although the river surface seems to be very flat, there are quite a lot of whirlpools in the river. If people don't care if the river surface is flat,
If you enter the water, you may be sucked into the whirlpool.
It took them three months to reach Ba (Chongqing), the capital of Pakistan, and they stopped at an unknown place in the middle.
Because autumn is about to begin, the rainy season of the new year is about to begin, which means it’s time to stop and wait for next summer before continuing on the journey.
"It's only summer that's suitable for traveling every year? You have to wait another year." If Zhikai hadn't known that his position was stable, he would have almost thought that he was exiled.
This is the current era. Otherwise, which prince would use years as the unit when he goes abroad?
Of course, it is also in the current era that it takes so long to enter Badi.
In the following years, the climate environment will gradually change, and then the road conditions will become more and more perfect.
However, the rainy characteristics of Bashu have not changed much until modern times. There are long rainy seasons every spring and autumn.
After changing places, Zhikai once again saw new wonders.
In this mountainous area, it's foggy almost every morning. It's okay if the sun comes out, but if the sun doesn't shine, sometimes it's a foggy environment all day long.
The local people have long been accustomed to this kind of climate and environment, and they still live the same way. Many people have no idea at all.
If you take the foggy weather seriously, you can go up to the mountains early in the morning to collect and hunt.
"Half of the stored grain is moldy?" Zhikai was a little confused when he heard the report.
They have tried their best to ensure that the stored grains are dry and have confirmed that they have not been exposed to water. Can the stored grains become moldy?
How much food they carried, but half of it was moldy and they couldn't guarantee that it would last until they reached the city of "Ba".
Zhicheng said with a sad face: "The local area is not good at farming, so I have never been so troubled."
Has this become an advantage? It's almost like a bad joke.
How should I put it? The current Ba people are a bit dependent on the mountains, but because they are mostly in mountainous areas, there is really no way to carry out farming.
The Shu Kingdom is better than the Ba Kingdom. At least there are large plains around Chengdu. Even if the water conservancy project has not been built yet, the land used for farming is still much more than the Ba Kingdom.
Zhikai asked: "How can we survive if we don't have enough food?"
Zhicheng thought for a while and said, "Eat more fruits and meat?"
At least Zhikai knew how Pakistani people lived, but he was very hesitant because there were so many of them, were the surrounding resources enough?
