The Nameless of the Common Clans

Peiguo, Qiao County.

Nearly fifty years have passed since the battle between Chen and Cao. One of the overlords of the world who once dominated the north. After fifty years, almost everyone in the world has changed. Who can still remember this former overlord?

"What's your name?" Chen Mo looked at the sixty-year-old man in front of him and asked kindly: "I'm looking for Cao Ang, do you recognize Cao Zixiu?"

"I am Cao Xing, Cao Ang is my father." Cao Xing looked at the old man in front of him with some doubts, nodded slightly and said: "My father died of illness a few years ago, I don't know who he is..."

"Zixiu has left?" Chen Mo was stunned for a while after hearing this, then sighed silently, looked at Cao Xing and said, "My name is Chen Mo, and I am a close friend of your grandfather Meng De. Have you ever heard of me?"

Cao Xing was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then silently saluted Chen Mo and said, "It turns out to be Taizu, disrespectful."

"What Taizu? I am worthy of your grandfather and brother, and have a master-disciple relationship with your father. According to seniority, you should call me master." Chen Mo shook his head and said: "I came here to see Brother Meng De. , can you lead the way?”

Cao Xing nodded with a complicated expression, and led Chen Mo and his party to the ancestral grave of the Cao family, where Cao Cao was buried.

"Fifty years~ Why are you in such a hurry? Even if you don't die, you can't survive me." Chen Mo sat next to Cao Cao's tombstone with some difficulty, helped Cao Cao pour a glass of wine, and poured himself a glass. As if Cao Cao is still alive: "But I've almost come to an end. This is the first time I've come to see you, and it may also be the last time. In fact, I still don't quite understand why you didn't want to when you could vote for that guy Sun Quan." Surrender to me? You and I have known each other for many years, so it’s so hard to be submissive? Do you still remember the arrow that shot you in the butt? Haha~"

The three brothers Chen Jin and Cao Xing stood in the distance, watching Chen Mo talking to himself, feeling a little sad in their hearts. The three brothers, except Chen Rui, Chen Jin and Chen Zheng are now over six years old. In the past ten years, I can feel Chen Mo's loneliness and helplessness to some extent. There are fewer and fewer people in the older generation. Now, apart from his godson, Chen Mo spends most of his time studying something with Liu Yi and the others. Except for some in the academy, In addition to lecturers, there are also many famous masters who have been working with Chen Mo over the years. As for what they do, Chen Jin doesn't know much. After he abdicates this time, he should gradually understand in the future.

Perhaps, this is the only fun for the old man.

Chen Mo sat next to Cao Cao's tomb until night, then he got up and looked at Cao Xing, who was standing aside. Chen Mo asked, "Did Zixiu leave any last words before he left?"

"Your Majesty, my father passed away peacefully." Cao Xing shook his head: "He did not leave any last words."

"Many years have passed since the grudges of the past. Let the descendants of the Cao family try to enter the academy in the future. You should listen to the words of the predecessors, but don't think too much about what you shouldn't. People should always live for the living." Chen Mo nodded.

"I understand." Cao Xing nodded. In fact, although Chen Mo did not target the Cao family, when Cao Ang was still alive, the children of the Cao family were determined not to join the officialdom. This also caused the Cao family to decline over the years and have long lost its original glory. These two In 2001, Cao Xing was already allowing young children of the Cao family to study in the academy.

Chen Mo didn't say anything more. After all, his main bond with the Cao family was Cao Cao and Cao Ang. Now that both of them are gone, the next generation doesn't have much to do with Chen Mo.

After living in Qiao County for two days, Chen Mo would go to Cao Cao's grave to talk to Cao Cao every day. Two days later, Chen Mo just left and returned to Luoyang.

In the next few years, Chen Mo did not return to the palace. After all, Chen Jin was here, but Chen Min would take time to come to Beimang Mountain every year to see Chen Mo and Chen Jin. Now the descendants of the Chen family are prosperous, and Beimang Academy The scale of the school is also growing. In the 33rd year of Kaiyuan, the fifth generation of the Chen family had children sent here. However, nowadays, Chen Jin is basically the one teaching the descendants of the royal family, while Chen Mo spends most of his time on research.

Especially after Wu Yi, Yu Sheng, and Cui Geng passed away one after another, Chen Mo basically had no worries outside.

In August of the thirty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Chen Min, who had just left the court, was summoned by Chen Mo to come to Beiman Mountain. Although he didn't know the reason, Chen Min did not hesitate and rushed to Beiman Mountain with his people.

"Father." The first person Chen Min saw was Chen Jin. The atmosphere in the academy today was a bit solemn.

"Let's go quickly." Chen Jin nodded and took Chen Min to Chen Mo: "Your grandfather has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Min didn't know why Chen Mo was looking for him, so he didn't ask any questions at the moment and quickly followed Chen Jin to the back of Beimang Mountain. A strong buzzing sound could be heard from a distance.

When Chen Min arrived at the back mountain, he saw a huge metal instrument in operation. In a huge water tank, white gas came out from above. The roar came from there. The water tank was moved through a series of metal mechanisms. Operation, in front, there was a blacksmith operating the machine. No one was turning, but the huge machine was running on its own. Chen Min was stunned to see it.

Although the Ming Dynasty has continued to encourage the development of craftsmen in recent years, and various things have appeared among the people, Chen Min has never heard of such a mechanism that can operate on its own.

"Grandfather, this is..." Chen Min found Chen Mo and saw Chen Mo directing a group of craftsmen to use the huge equipment to make a long tube. Under the operation of the equipment, in less than half an hour, A long tube was made.

"It took hundreds of skilled craftsmen from all over the world to make it over the past few decades!" Chen Mo looked at the huge steam engine. He gathered hundreds of skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and after years of continuous research and experimentation, he finally made the first steam engine. Although it was just this one, it could not change anything, and it could not make the country strong, but at least it left a seed for future generations. I hope that such a catastrophe will not happen again. At least under the catastrophe, China will not be so miserable. This is the only thing Chen Mo can leave for future generations now.

Chen Min nodded in astonishment.

But he saw Chen Mo picked up a long metal tube and pulled the trigger in the distance.

"Bang~"

In Chen Min's astonished eyes, a wooden target in the distance instantly broke into pieces.

"Grandfather, this is..."

"Cannon!" Chen Mo threw the long tube to him and said, "Now it can shoot forty steps, relying on the gunpowder made in the past few years. Within forty steps, people and animals will die. However, there should be a lot of room for improvement, but these will depend on future generations."

Chen Min was so shocked that he couldn't speak. His grandfather had been in Beimang Mountain for more than 30 years. What on earth did he make? Is this the power of craftsmen? Too terrible.

"Today I called you here for this matter. These two things are the hard work of my father and hundreds of craftsmen in the second half of his life. He also wrote 18 volumes of Tianjilu. It will be handed over to you later. The development of this world cannot be separated from craftsmen. Fortunately, we made this thing first. If other countries discover it first, it will be a great catastrophe for our Shenzhou. In addition, the steam engine can be used for more than this. There are our deductions in Tianjilu. This thing can be used for sailing, traveling, weaving and other people's livelihood, Min'er."

"Your son is here!" Chen Min bowed hurriedly.

"This Tianjilu is the foundation of a strong country. The royal descendants must study it carefully. This is the foundation of changing the times. But now is not the time to publish it. It can be controlled by the royal family first, which can strengthen the royal family. I have never set any rules for you in my life, but today I have to leave one. Even if my Ming Dynasty is destroyed, this Tianjilu must be passed down, and future generations should remember it." Chen Mo looked at Chen Min and said in a deep voice.

Chen Min looked at Chen Mo in astonishment. Chen Mo did not leave any rules for his descendants in his life, but he did not expect that the first rule would be about what happened after the country was destroyed.

After being stunned for a while, Chen Min nodded silently, bowed to Chen Mo and said: "My son will remember it."

"Go, I have sent Tianjilu to the palace, and asked people to print more. Every descendant of the Chen family must have a set, passed down from generation to generation, and when the time is right, it can be circulated throughout the world." Chen Mo smiled.

"Your son obeys your order." Chen Jin bowed respectfully to Chen Mo, looked at the huge machine, his mind was still blank, and he left in a daze.

After passing down the Record of Heavenly Secrets, Chen Mo dismissed the craftsmen, who were taken into the Ministry of Industry by Chen Min. As for what happened later, Chen Mo didn't care anymore. He didn't have much time left, and wanted to spend the last time with his only remaining wife.

In the 38th year of Kaiyuan, Sun Shangxiang finally passed away before Chen Mo. From then on, Chen Mo had no more worries in the world. In the 39th year of Kaiyuan, Chen Jin seemed to have a premonition that his end was coming. On this day, in a thatched cottage next to the graves of his wives and mother, he worshipped the system gods for the last time. This time, he didn't look at the future of the Ming Dynasty or the world deduction. He looked at the future of the human race. After the succession, Chen Mo still had some national fortune, which had not completely dissipated. There was no point in keeping 100,000 national fortunes. Chen Mo wanted to see what the future of the human race would be like.

As the white mist dissipated and his consciousness regained consciousness, Chen Mo became a bystander again, silently watching the development of this world. The deduction of the human race seemed to be no different from the deduction of the world.

After his death, Chen Min did not change the reign title. With the efforts of three generations of the Chen family, the Ming Dynasty entered an unprecedented prosperous era. Chen Min used the year when Chen Mo founded the country as the first year of Kaiyuan and established the Kaiyuan calendar. Since then, generations have used Kaiyuan to calculate the reign title.

Chen Mo established a good tradition. When Chen Min was sixty years old, he felt unwell and passed the throne to his son. The fourth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, based on the accumulation of the previous three generations, further began to try to use steam engines in various industries. Chen Mo's steam engine began to be used in military industry since the sixty-third year of Kaiyuan.

In the seventy-eighth year of Kaiyuan, artillery began to be promoted in the army. When the fourth emperor passed the throne, artillery had been widely used. Starting from the fifth emperor, he focused on promoting steam engines to the people to strengthen people's livelihood.

In the 86th year of Kaiyuan, the first steel warship built by steam engines appeared on the shores of the East China Sea. In the 107th year of Kaiyuan, with the surge in productivity, railways began to appear on the map of Daming. The fifth emperor did not follow the practice of his predecessors. He did not pass the throne to his son until his death. Daming had a small-scale crisis. However, Chen Mo's sixth-generation grandson was really good. He was amazing and brilliant. He overwhelmed all the ministers and quickly took control of the court power. He inherited his father's will and continued to promote the use of steam engines, and opened up new areas.

At this time, craftsmen had begun to be respected.

In the 127th year of Kaiyuan, with the construction of railways, Daming began to truly enter the steam age, and Daming's ships began to explore new seas.

In the 136th year of Kaiyuan, the sea routes opened up by Daming gradually spread all over the world, and trade was established with Daqin, Daxia and other places in the West. A large number of materials that were not available in China were introduced into Daming, and the use of electricity was gradually mastered.

In the 197th year of Kaiyuan, with the birth of the first generator, the development of Ming Dynasty began to accelerate. However, at the same time, people began to become dissatisfied with this feudal centralization system, especially in the distribution of resources. Mingming craftsmen It is the important reason that promotes the development of the times, but the social status is still the weakest among the five ministries even after so many years. Even the Ministry of Rites is superior to the Ministry of Work.

Moreover, with the increasing population and the continuous construction of new cities, the old county system has begun to fail to keep up with the times.

Six generations later, the Emperor of Heaven no longer followed Chen Mo's inheritance method at that time. After all, Chen Mo did not set this rule. The reason why subsequent generations followed it was because they recognized this method, but human nature is always selfish, especially the first generation. Eight generations later, the father was mistreated and died by his son after passing the throne, which also completely cut off this inheritance method. As a result, the emperor began to be inferior to the previous generation.

Social conflicts began to become serious, the uneven distribution of resources and people's dissatisfaction continued to accumulate, but the emperor's ability was far inferior to that of the first generation of emperors, and even the Beimang Mountain Academy was abandoned.

Another hundred years passed like this, and by the 286th year of Kaiyuan, the royal family gradually lost control of various places. In the 307th year of Kaiyuan, the warlords had become separatist. The Great Ming Dynasty had a population of nearly 600 million at that time, and the war It finally broke out. This war lasted for nearly fifty years. In the year 347 of Kaiyuan, the war gradually ended and a new political system was formed. The Ming Dynasty existed in name only. However, because Chen Mo left his ancestral precepts, Tian Ji Lu was spread all over the world. The reunified rulers were grateful for the seeds left by Chen Mo and had made great contributions to the world. They did not get rid of the royal family, but established a new political system to retain the reputation of the royal family, but the royal family did not participate in running the country. , retaining the Kaiyuan Calendar, the world has entered a new era, which is different from any situation Chen Mo saw last time. It not only tolerates capitalism, but also limits the barbaric growth of capital.

It is still the same as Confucianism, but there are new changes, and the status of workers has also received the greatest recognition in this change.

After this battle, the Ming Dynasty regained its vitality and actually won the country for 347 years. For Chen Mo, this was not bad.

The Ming Dynasty, which had experienced changes, began to enter an era of ideological explosion. Over the next hundred years, airplanes, telephones, and televisions gradually appeared and continued to introduce new ones.

The Ming Dynasty in Kaiyuan 438 was no different from the developed civilization when Chen Mo deduced the world before. The emergence of Western industrial civilization was nearly a thousand years earlier than the last time he deduced the world.

"Being able to enter the industrial revolution early when neither the West nor the feudal system was perfected, I have to say that the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty was indispensable!" In the 477th year of Kaiyuan, Chen Mo's consciousness appeared in an interview variety show in Luoyang , just explaining the history, made him stop curiously to see what to say.

"Chen Mo, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is familiar with this. But if it is just like that, it is just like the Han Dynasty, which ended the troubled times. For the world, it is not a great achievement. The real achievement is the Tianjilu! "

“It’s really unimaginable that Ming Taizu had foreseen the power of science when the entire social ideology was still focused on scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and gathered all the craftsmen from all over the world to build the first steam engine, which took more than thirty years. And left the Tianjilu. Many people may not have seen this Tianjilu. It is a book that is almost full of practical information. It almost predicted the development direction of science and technology in the next five hundred years, and even predicted the use of electricity. We can have today's powerful China, and Ming Taizu is indispensable. The Ming Dynasty still enjoys privileges to this day. , and it is precisely because of this that Taizu pointed out the direction for all mankind.”

"Teacher, some Western historians recently believed that Ming Taizu could only be regarded as an inventor, but he was able to unify the country. This is used to prove that our military level at that time was insufficient. If there were Western troops in the Ming Dynasty at that time, they might lead the world. It’s not the East but the West. What do you think about this?”

"I sit and watch."

"..."

"There are actually no ifs for what has happened. Besides, everyone only knows that Ming Taizu was an inventor, but no one knows that before he lived in seclusion in Beimang Mountain, Ming Taizu conquered the world for more than thirty years and fought fiercely with the princes of the time. From one place to another The level city begins, Fighting all the way to becoming the world leader, the works he left behind in his life were not many poems except Tianji Lu, but one article on polemics, which you should have learned in middle school. In terms of literary attainments alone, I don’t say how high it is, but it was absolutely absolute at the time. He is the best group, but he is more He focused on hard work, and most of the books he wrote throughout his life were practical. This is related to his origin. As for fighting, we don’t boast. Judging from the war methods and weapons at that time, we don’t say whether the West has the ability to generalize the army. Brought to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, You know, it took a full fifty years between our country's first steel ship and the discovery of the American continent, so the question itself is not valid, and even if we fight, I don't think we will rarely lose in our life. God’s great ancestor will lose.”

Interesting~

Looking at this scene, Chen Mo smiled and stopped paying attention. Time continued to advance. With the development of science and technology, by the first millennium of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty had begun to gradually explore space.

But just like a barrier, for nearly a thousand years since then, we have continued to explore the starry sky, but it is still difficult for human beings to get out of the solar system. There seems to be an invisible force restricting it. In Kaiyuan 1895, the astronauts who landed on the moon finally broke through. They discovered the hard crust of the moon, only to find that the interior of the moon is empty. The hard crust is more like the shell of an abandoned spacecraft.

And then, a strange virus was brought to the earth with the astronauts' return. A disaster spread to the world, and humans turned into zombies. The civilization built for two thousand years was instantly destroyed by this virus.

Fifty years later, less than one percent of humans survived.

Chen Mo looked at this scene and was silent for a while. Is the future of the human race so short? This made him unacceptable.

Survivor bases of all sizes appeared in various places. Chen Mo's consciousness wandered among these survivors. There seemed to be an inexplicable attraction. He was pulled to an independent personal laboratory, where he saw another self, a person who was exactly the same as his younger self, operating a large number of instruments.

The other self who was fiddling with the instrument seemed to have sensed something and looked up at himself: "You are finally back."

"?" Chen Mo frowned. The other party could actually perceive him?

The next moment, an inexplicable suction suddenly surged, and Chen Mo felt that his consciousness flew towards the other party uncontrollably, and then sank into the other party's body...

This is the last chapter of the Three Kingdoms. Next, I will write a side story to roughly explain the origin of the system. Today, I will finish it in one go.
