Bringing the Railway to Daming

Chapter 334: Lao Zhu's View of the Future, "Misplaced Time and Space" [Please Subscribe]

"Why is loneliness not glorious? Only imperfections are worth praising. Who says those covered in mud are not heroes?"

As the depressing scenes of the old society and the sacrifices of heroes passed by, the content of the video finally exploded along with the singing.

When the scene changed again, the extraordinary young man stood up and spoke at a conference. He seemed to have a quarrel with the conference host, and then turned and left in everyone's attention.

Then, one after another, the generals in military uniforms with unique temperaments began to speak, and in the end they all tied red scarves on their left arms.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that a Red Turban Army appeared again in the future?

Soon he realized he was overthinking it - later generations probably just happened to use the red scarf as a mark to distinguish between friend and foe.

This is also the case with the rest of the video.

Soldiers with red scarves tied around their arms launched an uprising and captured the city of Hongdu.

These soldiers marked with red scarves were so brave and fearless that they made the enemy flee in panic. As the song reached its climax, even Zhu Yuanzhang, at his age, felt his blood boiling.

"I love you for walking alone in the dark alley, I love you for not kneeling, I love you for facing despair and refusing to cry!"

"I love your tattered clothes, yet you dare to block fate's gun. I love that you and I are so similar, with the same holes!"

In the video, after experiencing the initial victory, the army was faced with wave after wave of enemies from all directions. So countless soldiers fought bravely regardless of sacrifice, breaking through the enemy's encirclement and blockade time and time again.

When they had gone through numerous hardships and dangers and finally joined up with an army led by a remarkable young man, cheers filled the entire mountain and plain.

At this time, the extraordinary young man put on his military uniform, raised his fist and shouted: "A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

However, the army then experienced all kinds of difficulties and dangers again, and was even chased by the white enemy into deep mountains, dense forests, snow-capped mountains and grasslands, as if there was no way to go up to the sky and no door to enter the earth.

However, under the leadership of the young man who had become middle-aged, the army finally came out and reached a yellow land with gullies, where they joined forces with another army of their own and won the victory again!

Soon after, the Japanese invaded.

Countless civilians were killed, their homes destroyed, and they shed blood and wailed under the guns, artillery, and iron carts (tanks) of the Japanese invaders!
In his middle age, Qi Wei resolutely decided to make peace with his former enemies and fight against Japan together, and the song reached its climax again at this time.

"Will you go? Are you worthy? This ragged cape!"

"Fight? Fight! Use the most humble dreams to sob and roar in the darkness~!"

"Who says only those who stand in the light are heroes~~!"

"Your spots are different—"

"Your silence is deafening—"

In the video, countless future generations of soldiers charged forward in the face of the fierce artillery fire and hail of bullets from the Japanese invaders. A group died, and another group rushed forward, one after another!

Many later generations of soldiers were captured by the Japanese invaders, shot in lines, or pushed into pits and buried alive, all without a word.

I don’t know how many people died, how much blood was shed, or how many years the battle lasted.

The camera moves up to the sky, and looking down, the land of China seems to have become a scorched earth!
Finally, the later soldiers in the video began to win victory after victory over the Japanese invaders. The video even considerately marked the names of the battles with text.

Great victory at Pingguan.

Bloody battle in Taizhuang.

Battle of Hundred Teams!

···
Amidst the continuous artillery fire, countless Chinese soldiers charged forward and finally forced the Japanese invaders' national flag to fall.

The army then engaged in another fierce battle with the White Army and quickly defeated the White Army with a crushing force.

When the new dynasty was established, people in the streets, cities and villages celebrated with singing and dancing!
"Love you from the wilderness, and never borrow light from anyone else in your life. You will build your city-state on the ruins!"

"Are you going? Yes!"

"With the humblest dream!"

"Fight? Fight!"

"With the loneliest dream, to the sobs and roars in the dark night~~" The fourth song also ended, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but pause the video again.

He sighed, "It seems that establishing a new dynasty in the future is indeed not easy."

Liu Kuan nodded and said, "It was indeed not easy, because the domestic and international situations at that time were too complicated and too dangerous."

"When the New Dynasty was first established, many pioneers were hunted down and killed by the forces of the Old Dynasty, and countless young people with aspirations died."

"After the establishment of the new dynasty, due to its relative weakness, it was forced to cooperate with another large group to overthrow the warlords formed by the remnants of the old dynasty."

"However, just as the Northern Expedition was about to be won, a coup d'état occurred within this large group. They regarded the group that was the predecessor of the New Dynasty as their mortal enemy and attacked and killed them. Mr. Shou Chang and other revolutionary pioneers in the video were executed at that time."

"At this time, some of the founders of the new dynasty, including the chief, realized that to establish a new dynasty, they had to control their own army, so they launched uprisings in Hongdu and other places."

"Afterwards, the New Dynasty's rebel army first established bases in various places to fight against the court established by that large group. However, due to their weakness, they were unable to hold their bases and were forced to move and fight in various places."

"Afterwards, this New Dynasty righteous army was surrounded and intercepted by an enemy force that had superior firearms, weapons, and supplies, and outnumbered them dozens of times. They were nearly in danger and even fell into a desperate situation."

"It was thanks to the Xin Dynasty's chief's exceptional command skills, exemplified by the 'Four Crossings of the Chishui River', that he managed to circumvent hundreds of thousands of enemy troops and ultimately break out..."

"Wait a minute." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but interrupt Liu Kuan's explanation. "Four crossings of the Chishui River? Could you give us more details?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a military strategist. He was not only quite skilled in tactics but also in strategy. Therefore, when he heard Liu Kuan praising the military command ability of the chief of the new dynasty, he became curious and itchy.

Unexpectedly, Liu Kuan showed a look of shame, scratched the back of his head and said, "Your Majesty, before I traveled through time, I only knew the name of 'Four Crossings of the Chishui River', but I didn't know the specific content."

"It is said that even though the Xin Dynasty soldiers and generals, under the leadership of their chief commander, accomplished the feat of 'crossing the Chishui River four times' and escaping hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, no one knew how they did it."

So mysterious?

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and others looked at each other in confusion, and some even suspected that Liu Kuan was bragging.

Liu Kuan, fearing Zhu might question him further, continued, "After escaping hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, the Xin Dynasty rebels, in order to break free and escape the subsequent pursuit, had no choice but to cross the Great Snow Mountain and traverse the swamp-covered grasslands, fighting for tens of thousands of miles before arriving in Shaanxi to join up with another Xin Dynasty rebel force."

"As for the subsequent Japanese invasion, the New Dynasty's righteous army chose to make peace with their former enemies and jointly resist the Japanese. Your Majesty must have seen it clearly, so I will not elaborate further."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, did not ask any more questions, and continued to play the video.

The name of the fifth song has been revealed, it’s called “Misplaced Time and Space”.

Dislocated time and space?

Old Zhu and Zhu Biao had both heard Liu Kuan talk about the later generations' understanding of time and space. Coupled with the example of Liu Kuan's time travel, the two couldn't help but wonder: Could the rise of the Xin Dynasty in later generations also be related to the time traveler?

At this time, the prelude of the song sounded, and the lyrics of the adapted Youth Day special version of "Misplaced Time and Space" appeared one by one along with various shots edited from "Awakening Age" -

"That year, you were as young as I was, as young as a green song. But in order to create that new world in your dreams, you turned and hurriedly walked into the wind and rain."

"I saw thousands of lovely you, running towards the depths of the smoke without looking back..."

In the video, the sacrifices of the patriots of the new dynasty finally overthrew the warlords of the old dynasty, drove away the invading Japanese invaders, defeated the reactionary forces, and established the new dynasty.

Then the video screen changed, showing people and scenery from later generations.

Children are studying in spacious and bright classrooms; young people are running freely in the beautiful playground and reading happily in the library; scientific researchers are conducting research; engineers and workers are building...
At this time, the martyrs who had sacrificed their lives reappeared one by one, with smiles on their faces, as if they were pleased to see these beautiful scenes.

"Raise your hand, I swear the same oath. Your smile is so clear in the black and white. You said you never regretted dedicating your life to this vast land..."

"I look up at the starry sky you've seen before. We've met again after a hundred years of time. At this moment, we'll always be connected. I understand."

The second half of the video begins to show a series of achievements made by the new dynasty, such as round bomb explosions, satellite launches, and manned space flight. The song also ends with this series of proud scenes.

This time the video stopped without anyone having to pause it.

Then Lao Zhu looked at Liu Kuan.
