The other two countries adjacent to Nier had similar national conditions to Nier. The most important thing was that there was no medical profession and they both believed in gods.
Therefore, in their view, the country of Neil, which suffered a great plague, is a country abandoned by the gods. Naturally, the citizens of the country of Neil are also people abandoned by the gods.
They sealed the border and did not allow people from the Nier country to enter, and even used force to drive away people from the Niel country whenever they approached the border.
There was no way to escape. In this situation, no matter how difficult the canyon road was, it became the only hope for the people of Neil to survive.
With someone else organizing like this, the refugees from the Neil Country changed from scattered to an orderly group, pouring from the canyon road towards Neil Pass.
At the same time, Neil Guan was completely unconscious.
There is no need to think about the outcome of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of refugees who are so hungry that their eyes are red.
The refugees broke through the obstruction of the gatekeepers and went straight to the past city. At that time, the past city did not receive any news that there were refugees on the other side of Nil Pass. Secondly, because of what Hu Han did, the common people and those refugees
Not much different.
A group of refugees who were as hungry as wolves, and a group of people who were trained like sheep, the result...
The tragic lessons of Fengcheng were repeated again, and this time it was even worse. They burned, killed, robbed, raped women, humiliated women and sons, and competed with each other for the pleasure of killing one person. In fact, for a whole month, in the past,
The city was filled with a strange scent of bamboo.
It was not until nearly three months later that the imperial court learned of what had happened in the former city. By the time the imperial court sent troops, almost two months had passed and the refugees had already escaped from the former city.
Most of them returned to the Nier Kingdom from the canyon road, and only a very small number were scattered around, and were eventually killed by the imperial army.
As for pursuing the refugees from the Canyon Road, the former court had just been established at that time and was internally unstable. It just chose to build a high wall from the entrance of the Canyon Road for defense. When pursuing the pursuit, there were no officials in the court.
Go mention it.
It is precisely for this reason that this period of history was called "the shame of the former city" by a historian from the previous dynasty in his private biography.
Judging from this period of history, there is an enmity between the Central Plains and the Nier Kingdom, and it is a big enmity. There are nearly half a million people in the entire ancient city.
Even though dynasties have changed, history remains and hatred is still remembered.
The Central Plains is constantly moving forward, and so is the country of Nier.
In the past, the Neil Kingdom was ignorant, but after they sacked the Old City, they gained a lot of knowledge in the Old City and passed it on. The little old man once went to the Neil Kingdom for a stroll. According to him,
, although the current Neil Country is not as good as the Qilin Country in many aspects, it is already decent, with systems in place, and occupations increasing. The most obvious thing is that medicine has been taken seriously.
Nowadays, the people of Neil are no longer as afraid of the peaks as they used to be. They are afraid of the holy land favored by God opposite the so-called peaks guarded by the peaks. They have repaid the sweetness they enjoyed by plundering the former city, and they have paid tribute to the past of the Central Plains.
Fear has turned into greedy peeking.
And the port that Jun Chenyuan mentioned is exactly the point that the people of Neil take a close look at.
It was also because of the big earthquake that a huge crack opened in the ground from the foot of the peak to the south in a place dozens of miles away from Nielguan.
The snow on the peaks will melt, and the melted water will naturally flow to the lower part of the crack in the ground. After a hundred years, a huge and unfathomable river will form in that crack in the ground.
After the founding of the Qilin State, the attitude towards the former city was completely opposite to that of the previous dynasties, and they attached great importance to it.
The reason is because of this big river.
There is a large plain outside the former city. In the past, it was difficult to plant without water. Now that there is this big river, it is so simple to introduce water.
Therefore, Emperor Qiming's semi-forced Past City attracted nearly 200,000 people. Although they also built camps and exiled people to the Past City, ordinary people now account for the vast majority of the Past City.
Due to the large population and large grain production, there are many merchants in Xicheng.
Moreover, with the abundant water resources, Xicheng can grow more than just grains, mulberry and silkworms, herbs, etc. There are more and more things that can become commodities.
To transport goods out of the country, we have to take the land route. To be honest, the journey out of the city is all mountainous, so the cost is too high.
Businessmen know best how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The cost of land transportation is high, but we have a big river, so we can go by water.
In this way, the port outside Xicheng was established. From the beginning, it was just one or two ships owned by a few people, and now it is a large port managed by the imperial court that can dock dozens of large ships at the same time.
But for businessmen, it is still too wasteful if the ship is only used to transport a single cargo or something. We still have to find a way to make our ship, which costs a lot of money, bring other benefits.
As a result, transport ships, passenger ships, cargo ships, trading ships, etc. all appeared, and trade with other countries also began via rivers that were also connected due to the earthquake.
Let's put it this way, the former city was a place that was considered unlucky when mentioned, but the current city cannot be compared to the capital city, but it is not much different from Yong'an City, one of the five cities.
This is just economic. The most important role of ports is actually military.
To put it simply, if the Qilin State has the idea of annexing the small countries where the river passes...
Everyone has eyes, let alone the Nier Kingdom, which has been peeping at the Central Plains?!
It can be said that the Nier Kingdom has always seen the ancient city's gradual prosperity, but they once had the intention to take a peek but were unable to do anything.
Chen Yi on the side couldn't help but spat, and muttered in a low voice without anger: "The civil war has just ended, and those dog eyes are looking towards us again, what the hell are you talking about."
Yes, there was another civil war in Xicheng, and this time the civil war was not short, it lasted nearly twenty years.
The previous king of Xicheng had a dispute before he could decide who would be the next king, and this king was good at giving birth and had more than twenty children in total.
There was no saying in the ancient city that women could not inherit the throne. Princesses could also inherit the throne, so...
Not all of the twenty or so people were fighting together, after all, some were older and some were still young. On the surface, it looked like six princes and three princesses were fighting all the time.
In the end, after nearly twenty years, the throne that shocked everyone half a year ago was taken by the youngest prince of the previous king.
It has always been said that the eastern border pass is safe, but the Zhao family, the chief guard of the pass, died in the battle and was left without a man.
The reason for this is also because of the great earthquake in the early days of the previous dynasty and the large rivers that were formed over the years.
——He Kou.
If there are merchant ships walking on these rivers, it seems inevitable that there will be river gangsters robbing the merchant ships, just like there will be bandits on the land.
The Zhendong Army counted down the details and found that nine out of ten battles were fought against bandits on the river.
