The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 513 The Birth of the Dragon Group!

The soldiers who were sent to investigate the situation could not help but stop in their tracks when they saw this.

Looking around, looking for Zhao Dongchuan.

But I looked left and right but couldn't find it.

Just as everyone was in doubt, the infantry officer who was standing there secretly on guard seemed to see something and cried out in surprise, but the next moment, the man disappeared from the spot...

Then the crowd began to riot... and the soldiers began to flee in all directions.

In just a moment, the soldiers in the field disappeared without a trace. No one knew whether they hid themselves or went somewhere else.

The few soldiers who were originally sent to investigate the situation suddenly turned pale with fright.

…………

After a while, Zhao Dongchuan slowly got on the carriage, sat on the shaft, and patted the horse's butt...

The horse understood, moved its feet... and walked forward.

Feeling the carriage moving, A Zi stuck her head out and looked around, and found that the soldiers, cattle, sheep, and Khitan women and children were all gone. She couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Brother-in-law, where are they?"

"I beat them all away..."

Zhao Dongchuan remained calm and continued to drive the carriage forward.

Ah Zi nodded thoughtfully. She always felt that there was something fishy going on, but she couldn't figure it out...

"Master, how come those Song soldiers robbed so many Khitans and cattle and sheep... and they are still like that..."

Xiaoliu also poked his head out and asked Zhao Dongchuan curiously.

Zhao Dongchuan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "The Song and Liao countries have been at war for many years, and the two sides have fought countless battles. In the winter before, there was no food, so the Khitans relied on their cavalry's advantage in mobility and went south to plunder, burning, killing, and looting. The Khitans called it 'beating the grass and valleys'. Naturally, the Song Dynasty soldiers would not sit idly by, so the two sides went back and forth... plundering each other..."

Zhao Dongchuan paused, his expression complicated, and continued: "Do you feel that the Song Dynasty soldiers treated the Khitan people cruelly?"

"In fact, the Khitans were also very cruel to the Han people..."

"When two countries are at war, kindness has no meaning... It's just that you kill me and I kill you..."

Zhao Dongchuan was silent for a while. After a moment, he said in a serious tone: "Just remember that we are Han people. Some things are not about right or wrong, but about position..."

The three little ones in the carriage fell into deep thought... including Ah Zi, who fell silent.

This topic is really too big...

……

In the following days, Zhao Dongchuan wandered around the Song-Liao border... constantly gathering refugees... and then dumped them all into the Chaos Realm, not even sparing the officers and soldiers of the Song and Liao countries...

Zhao Dongchuan doesn’t care about Khitans or Han people, as long as they work hard, they are his people.

Those troublemakers who refused to obey the rules were killed directly to serve as a warning to others.

There are too many top masters in the Chaos Realm today... Killing these people is like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken...

The fourth of the Eight Friends of Hangu, Hua Kuang, was originally an officer and a leader. After the Song and Liao officers and soldiers became obedient, he led them...

Nowadays, there are more and more people in the chaotic world, and a team like this is needed to maintain order.

Of course, as the number of people increases, consumption also increases. Fortunately, the speed of reclamation is also getting faster and faster. The land in the Chaos Realm is also very fertile, and the output can barely support it. After a few months, all kinds of crops will mature, and cattle and sheep will grow up and give birth. The overall productivity will be greatly improved, and there will be no need to worry.

Wang Yuyan, Azhu and A Bi are now busy dealing with various affairs. Fortunately, with the help of Wuyazi, Su Xinghe and the Eight Friends of Hangu, things are proceeding in an orderly manner.

There are only a few thousand people, not a lot... Once we are done with this busy period and things are sorted out, everything will be fine.

The days passed one by one, and a month later, they reached the Song-Liao border.

Zhao Dongchuan led the three little ones and A Zi and stood on a high slope.

"Brother-in-law, this is the Liao Kingdom, right?"

"Well, this is the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. It was originally the territory of the Song Dynasty, but was later occupied by the Liao Dynasty. It is not wrong to say that it belongs to the Liao Dynasty now..."

Zhao Dongchuan nodded and said softly.

Then he turned around and looked at the three little ones...

"As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. This time I am bringing you here to observe the actual situation of the Liao Kingdom... You may find it useful in the future..."

After saying that, Zhao Dongchuan strode forward.

He planned to take the three little ones and A Zi to see the current actual situation of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with their own eyes, and rob the Liao Kingdom of some supplies.

There are more and more people in the Chaos Realm now, so there is no need to worry about having too much supplies.

Afterwards, Zhao Dongchuan and others pretended to be ordinary Han people and settled down in the Liao Kingdom.

The Khitans initially ruled the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun cruelly, but later Empress Dowager Xiao became regent. She worked hard to govern the country, focused on agriculture and sericulture, and developed water conservancy. At the same time, she reduced taxes, rectified the administration of officials, and implemented the national system on the Khitans and the Han system on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. This was the initial one country, two systems.

So strictly speaking, the Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun under the rule of the Liao Dynasty actually lived a pretty good life...

Han people here can do business and go to school normally, scholars can take the imperial examinations and serve as officials in the court, and the Liao Dynasty’s high-ranking officials generally do not discriminate against Han officials.

Because the various technologies brought by the Han people can help the Khitans to strengthen themselves, this is why the Liao Kingdom, a country established by a minority ethnic group, can have a national fortune of more than two hundred years.

So the irony is that in fact most of the people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun did not hate the Khitans, nor did they clamor to return to the Song Dynasty all day long.

For ordinary people, as long as they can live a normal life and have food to eat, it doesn't matter where they live. They would still be bullied if they returned to the Song Dynasty. In fact, the Liao Kingdom treated them better.

The Song Dynasty felt that they were living in dire straits and had been thinking about returning...

Zhao Dongchuan didn't want to judge this matter. There was no right or wrong, it was just that everyone's environment was different...

Zhao Dongchuan then arranged for the three children to learn Khitan language, understand Khitan culture and management structure, and at the same time let them try to establish an intelligence agency here...

No matter what the future holds, this step must be taken.

Ah Zi also transformed herself into the head of an intelligence organization and led the three little ones to look for various candidates... to develop the organization... Her ability to use poison had a lot of room to play here...

Ah Zhu had also taught her disguise skills to the three little ones and Ah Zi...which made them more comfortable in their actions.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think we should call this organization?"

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Ah Zi was excitedly flipping through the roster in her hand. These were the results of their work over the past period of time.

Zhao Dongchuan put down the information about the Liao Dynasty in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

He looked at the oil lamp on the table. The flame was flickering and swaying in the wind.

Suddenly a name appeared in his mind...

Hahaha, this name is very interesting...

"Let's call it the Dragon Group..."

Zhao Dongchuan chuckled and spoke softly to A Zi and the three kids.

"Dragon group?"

"..."

Ah Zi and the three little ones all looked puzzled.

"Yes, Dragon Group. We Chinese are descendants of the dragon. We are not fighting for a country or a place, but for the continuation of the Chinese nation. That's why our organization is called Dragon Group..."

Zhao Dongchuan laughed inwardly when he thought that the "Dragon Group" would continue to grow and develop in the future, and even influence the situations in Song, Liao, Jin and other countries.

"I don't know what people in the Tianlong world will look like when they find out about the Dragon Group a thousand years from now."

Zhao Dongchuan's bad taste is really unique...
