Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 175: Revisiting the old place (the side story ends and the main story begins)
Open your eyes, close your eyes, it's a new century.

Zhou Huan woke up from the tomb and looked around him, but there was no one around him.

After the sports meeting was over, it was time to travel again.

"Grandmaster Zhou Huan, remember to look for me after you wake up. If I'm not here, it must be the Shattered Void. Please practice quickly and let me not wait for you too long!"

It was a line of large characters carved on the sarcophagus, and Chen Yunying's handwriting made Zhou Huan laugh.

After Tang Yunniang shattered the void, she entrusted Zhou Huan to Chen Yunying. Therefore, after Zhou Huan died, it was Chen Yunying who took care of Zhou Huan's affairs.

But this irresponsible little girl actually ran away and went to find her master!
But that's not a bad thing, is it?
This tomb was much better than the last one, with all kinds of things neatly placed inside, and the hanging coffin where Zhou Huan was lying was well arranged.

Holding some gold and silver in the tomb, Zhou Huan walked out of the room.

It's a new world outside, the only problem is that his waist hurts a little.

imperial capital.

The 12th year of the Qingli calendar is 70 years after Zhou Huan's last crossing, not 200 years.

The system once told Zhou Huan that the time of travel is uncertain, and the time traveled is often a historical node, but big events may not necessarily happen at this node. For example, if the emperor dies suddenly, the world may be in chaos, or it may be peaceful. History is Hard to predict.

70 years ago, Chen Yunying turned the tide and rebuilt the Liang Empire. However, just re-building still left too many problems, the biggest of which was too much population.

The 300 years of peace have greatly increased the population of the Liang Empire, and the land in the interior has been divided up. Some of the things Zhou Huan spread about 70 years ago to increase the production of agricultural products have further contributed to the increase in population.

Is there any help?
I don't know, and Zhou Huan doesn't want to know. In the last world, if it weren't for Tang Yunniang's concern, Zhou Huan would have gone elsewhere to become an otaku.

Of course, the three time travels had brought about some changes in his state of mind. At least he would not run to the brothel door to see what was going on.Zhou Huan really hadn't been to those places during the first two times he traveled through time. The first time he was under the supervision of Chen Lihua, and the second time was under the supervision of Tang Yunniang - holy shit, why did Ruyi Tower become a brothel?

Time passed and everything changed. Zhou Huan came to the front of Ruyi Building, only to find that it had become an extremely luxurious brothel. Or to put it more elegantly, the whole street had become a place where everyone could talk and communicate.

"This guest officer, please come inside."

The waiter warmly entertained him, and Zhou Huan did not refuse. He revisited his old place. Although his old place had been demolished and even his father could not recognize him, he still went in to have a look.

"Our Ruyilou is a time-honored brand with a history of 200 years. Many celebrities from that time left their ink here. Speaking of Mr. Wang Huan, the magician from that time, have you ever heard of him? He was also the lover of the sword god Chen Yunying..."

The waiter boasted about the prosperity of Ruyi Building back then and the past passed down from generation to generation.

"Qian Xinyin died 30 years ago?"

Zhou Huan felt a little sad. The face of the middle-aged man who was his partner in the past appeared in front of his eyes. Shopkeeper Qian represented only a symbol. Time has diluted everything. Is Ruyi Building still the Ruyi Building back then?
"Zhou Huan, if you find that the Liang Empire can still be saved when you wake up, please help me."

Those are the words of Chen Yunying. It is hard for outsiders to imagine that the iron-blooded empress would entrust Zhou Huan like this. According to the records of the empire, she killed tens of millions of people, and countless nobles were completely destroyed by her. Bloody Empress.But what changed?
"System, please review my successes and failures in the last world."

If there was no Zhou Huan in the last world, what would happen to that world?
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, heroes came together to overthrow the rule of foreign races, but some things were left behind forever, or changed. The same goes forward. The road to civilization is winding and long, and no one can tell the success or failure of the moment. What does it mean?

"Without your participation, the nine major sects would have taken action in the capital, and the imperial army would still have been beaten. At the same time, the capital would have been plundered and burned to the ground. The intrigue among the nine major sects meant that they would not leave the main beam behind. The head of the empire, and Chen Yunying would not be able to lead the border troops to Beijing in time without the guarantee of you and Tang Yunniang.

The Daliang Empire with its head cut off will be divided by different forces, and the nine major factions will attack each other, and there will be vassal states of various countries.

This is just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the protagonists of the war are warriors. At the same time, the constant wars evolve war machines, including various martial arts moves, etc. If someone is clever and invents firearms, this kind of weapon can be popularized quickly, allowing farmers to The weapons that can kill warriors after three months of training began to evolve rapidly.

Then there will be repeating guns, machine guns, cannons, etc., all within a hundred years. "

Zhou Huan's eyes fell on the warriors patrolling the streets, and he could see that they were still wearing cold weapons.

"But there's no mass emergence of firearms yet."

"It's normal. A unified kingdom will naturally suppress the production of new weapons. Although you passed down the firearms manufacturing blueprints back then, you didn't promote them on a large scale, right?"

Zhou Huan nodded. The reason why he didn't pass on the firearms back then was very simple. He wanted to maintain Chen Yunying's rule, as well as his and Tang Yuniang's safety.

At that time, the three of them were the most high-end armed forces. Would they cause trouble for themselves by promoting firearms?The ruler's butt always sits on his side.

Therefore, the firearms were not promoted. Zhou Huan left the drawings to Chen Yunying, hoping that Chen Yunying would implement them after his death - but now it seems that something may have happened, and Chen Yunying did not promote the firearms.

The most difficult thing for a person is to betray one's own life, and Chen Yunying has never passed this test, she cannot betray her own class.

So, in this world now, where are the points of divergence and change?
The system will not provide information in this regard. Zhou Huan has to find these by himself. There are still a few points left. Zhou Huan did not redeem them and kept them for emergencies.

"So what's the ending of Tang Yunniang and Chen Yunying?"

"Tang Yunniang will die. Chen Yunying's best choice is not to enter the customs, but to continue to develop in the north, expand her power, and become a Han country similar to Wei and Liao. The system cannot analyze their ending. Even the grand masters in China can hardly control their own future, and any decision will make their history different."

"Their history?"

"Yes, whether it is an emperor, a general or a peerless hero, the fate of an individual in a troubled world is difficult to grasp in the torrent of history, but the general trend of history can still be deduced, just like when the machine gun and barbed wire came out, the nomads completely have withdrawn from the stage of history.”

"Under what circumstances will a warrior withdraw from the stage of history?"

This is Zhou Huan's question, why does the system reject the appearance of warriors so much.
