In the classroom on the far right of the fourth floor of Li City's No. 17 Middle School, the inspector of the eleventh class, Mu Fa, looked troubled.
Looking at the student who had obviously grown taller, Mu Fa couldn't help but sigh. The children who had grown up were proof of the passing of time.
The first semester of the fourth school year had already passed more than half, but he realized it later…Perhaps, he was progressing too fast?
Thinking of this, Mu Fa closed his eyes helplessly and stroked his forehead. In just an hour, the lesson was over…It seemed that he still needed to control his speed of speech patiently.
" Hmm…students." After careful consideration, Mufa smiled." The content of this lesson has come to an end…Is there any history knowledge that you are interested in? We can talk about it."
Hearing this, the students couldn't help but snicker. It was another familiar routine: It was a pity that the inspector's bad habit of speaking quickly had not changed since they met.
However, everyone quickly corrected their attitudes and began to seriously calculate what kind of story would be the most interesting.
Institution? Other than Chen Yinglong and Esther, not many students in the class were interested in the system. The content of the system was too dull and stiff.
Anecdote? As soon as this word popped up in their minds, most of the students shook their heads and rejected it. Forget it. According to the inspector's habits, there was an 80% chance that he would get involved in the great principles as he spoke.
In the end, they decided that it was better to tell historical stories, which was most in line with the school inspector's speech habits.
As for what they were talking about, they were not sure. Directly letting Mu Fa make the decision saved him a lot of effort and effort.
Taking down the magic board in distress, Mu Fa looked out the window, his heart in a dilemma. He did not know what to say…
Seer, who was sitting in the first row, noticed the inspector's annoyance and reminded him softly,""Licheng…"
Mufa suddenly turned his head and looked at Sayre. He really wanted to hug this little cutie. Indeed, he could talk about Beautiful City.
Strangely enough, Mu Fa mocked himself. He had never thought of telling them about the place where he grew up.
" Then..." Mu Fa smiled and said softly," Now, let's talk about... Beautiful City."”
Before he finished speaking, many students began to stutter.
Understanding their doubts and puzzlement, Mufa was patient."Don't be in a hurry to make a fuss. Please calm down and think about it.”
"Do we really understand our hometown?”
The restless students stopped talking and wanted to say something. After thinking carefully, they realized that they knew very little about the land that had given birth to them.
" That's normal." Mufa shook his head with a smile." The things we neglect the most are the things around us.”
"I won't." Li Yiyi retorted softly.”
Sun Si suddenly nodded, as if they were telepathically connected.
Li Yiyi was shocked. She obediently shut her mouth and sat upright. She was worried that she had spoken too loudly just now and might have been heard by the inspector.
In fact, Mufa didn't pay attention to her muttering. Instead, he began to talk about the past in Beautiful City."Does everyone still remember the name of Li City in the past?”
"Dingyuan." The students answered in unison.
" Dingyuan, Dingyuan Town, and Dingzhou," Mu Fa replied with a confident smile." The key lies in the word 'Ding'.”
"Does anyone know why?"
Without thinking, Liu Meng said,"To pacify the distant land means to say that this land is located in a distant place.”
" Yes." Mufa cast an appreciative look." To pacify the distance.”
" Before the Xia Dynasty, the people of the Jingjiang Plain knew very little about the outside world." Mu Fa retracted his gaze and continued," It was not until the ancient Yin Dynasty that people realized how vast the northern region of the West Ridge was.”
"When the Xia Dynasty was first established, the Jing River basin was unified. The Xia people began to explore the surroundings. They learned from the residents who fled from the West Ridge that there were still demons and barbarians in the west.”
" Demons are elves." Mufa glanced at the emotionless Astor." Especially Gold Elves.”
"And Man…is the devil race. Since ancient times, the people of the Jing River Valley had come into contact with them and called them the Di Race.”
"The Di…Di Clan crossed several mountain ranges and fought for land with the natives and elves of the West Ridge. Soon, the Gold Elves chose to give up on Xiling and return to Pingzhou.”
"A portion of the residents of the West Ridge couldn't stand the plunder of the Di Clan. A hundred years later, they fled to the east.”
"When they entered the prosperous Chang 'an and met the majestic emperor, they were shocked by the powerful Xia Dynasty.”
" Thus, they boldly took a gamble and told Emperor Xia that the West Ridge was vast and boundless, and that there was a place in the Fertile Soil Mountain."
"Wu Rui Heaven Worshipping Mandate?" Liu Meng couldn't help but ask.
" Yes, but usually, we incorporate it into the Western Expedition of Wu Rui." Mu Fa did not mind the student's interruption, but carefully corrected the error." They are one."”
"Emperor Xia Wurui appointed his personal guard Dong Su and Dong Jigong as the Left General to lead the western expedition.”
"In the past five years, Dong Jigong personally led the army on four expeditions. He pointed his sword at the Xiling Mountains, Yinma Linhe, established Dingyuan Town, and conferred the title of King of a different surname.”
"From now on, the Western Ridge Plain belongs to the Xia Dynasty and has become an inseparable part of the Xia territory.”
After finishing his lengthy narration, Mu Fa was about to rest his throat when he heard a familiar restless voice.
Li Yiyi giggled mischievously.""How did Dong Su build Dingyuan Town?”
"Dong…" Just as he was about to reply, Mu Fa remembered that he had never studied that period of history and quickly changed his words."The story of Dong Su becoming Duke Ding Yuan is even more legendary.”
"Tsk." Seeing that the inspector was openly ignoring her, Li Yiyi bent over and lay down, her face filled with boredom.
At the same time, the other students in the classroom couldn't help but laugh. Inspector, this is considered giving in.
Even though his throat was dry, in order to maintain his image, Mu Fa could only brace himself and continue."Dong Zhao was Emperor Wu Rui's study companion when he was young. Later, to express his obedience, he changed his name to Su.”
" Unlike his other playmates, Dong Su is very active and has a bad temper. In addition, he is the fourth son of the family…" Mu Fa sighed softly and felt much more comfortable." When he was crowned, Emperor Wu Rui gave him the word 'Ji Gong' to remind him to control his temper.”
"When Dong Su was conferred the title of Left General and led the Western Expedition, there was no lack of opposition in the court. However, he successfully justified his name by winning the first battle.”
"In the next five years, he opened up all the roads in the West Ridge. Duke Ding Yuan's deeds of expanding his territory were also recorded in the annals of history and remembered by future generations.”
" These…" Mufa paused, leaned forward slightly, and revealed a gentle smile." Is everyone clear?”
Most of the students nodded repeatedly. Although they lived in Beautiful City, they really didn't know much about the history here.
Not to mention a historical figure like Dong Su…In fact, they only remembered the general name and knew nothing else.
It was estimated that before Mu Fa began his narration, other than Liu He, no one else knew the details of Dong Su's deeds.
" Talk about something famous…" Li Yiyi felt bored and couldn't help but yawn." Otherwise, it's boring…"
" Student Li Yiyi." The slightly gloomy voice made Li Yiyi tremble." Please keep quiet?"”
Knowing that the inspector was really a little angry, Li Yiyi immediately quieted down and sat upright to listen carefully.
" Students." In just an instant, Mu Fa regained his friendly appearance." Do you know why Emperor Wu Rui did not hesitate to waste money and manpower to mobilize his army to march westward?”
"Open up the territory and make contributions!" A boy raised his hand and spoke loudly.
"Brilliant in history?" A Wood Elf smacked his lips." It is the long-cherished wish of most ancient people to leave their names in history.”
" Hehe, I think so too." Seizing the opportunity, Li Yiyi spoke freely again." Who doesn't want to be famous for eternity?”
Mu Fa waved his hand helplessly, signaling for everyone to be quiet. He sighed."You guys are still a little one-sided when you look at the problem…"
" Uh, inspector." Under everyone's gaze, Liu Meng slowly raised his hand." I might know some…reasons."”
"Oh?" Mu Fa smiled curiously." Then, please?”
" Cough…" Being stared at by his classmates, Liu He was a little uneasy." Do you still remember the…map of the Xia Dynasty that we learned before?”
Seeing that no one said anything, Liu Meng slowly said,""Right now, the area north of the Beacon Tower belongs to the demons.”
"Originally, relying on the mountainous terrain in the north, blocking the demons would not be a problem…However, a new problem has appeared in the Wurui Dynasty.”
At this moment. Even Mu Fa was interested in Liu Meng's description.
" If the Demon Clan has taken over Westridge and developed…" Liu Meng quickly changed his words." Actually, they have already grown." After learning of this matter, the Xia Dynasty was worried that they would be attacked on both sides in the future.”
"Therefore, even if it costs money and manpower, Emperor Wu Rui must open up the West Ridge and control the Westridge region. That place must not be occupied by the demons.”
" For five years, Duke Ding Yuan drove the demons back to the north of the mountains, which is the area of Horizon Peak. He built Dingyuan Town, took in the remaining natives, and took Westridge West as his territory.”
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva to moisten his throat, Liu Meng continued,""Everyone can take a look at the three-dimensional map…The entire Horizon Mountain Range is connected to the Beacon Tower.”
"With this line of defense, the Xia people don't have to worry about the demons in the north. They can settle their internal affairs with ease."
After speaking, Liu Meng scratched his head and sat down in embarrassment.
" Well said." Mu Fa led the students and clapped lightly." Student Liu Meng, you have a lot of extra-cursory knowledge, right? Everyone should learn from him.
After praising his students, Mufa got down to business."Everyone should know what a long-term vision is. Emperor Chen Ang of Xia Wurui is one of them.”
"If you don't plan for eternity, why talk about time?" Mu Fa repeated the ancient proverb of the Xia people." If you don't think far ahead, you will have immediate worries.”
"Actually, Emperor Wu Rui's campaign lasted more than five years?”Mu Fa reminded his student," The conflict between the Xia people and the Di Clan has never stopped since the ancient Yin era.”
"Even if we control Westridge West, the general will still have to fight the Di Clan who came over the mountain. Even if they relied on the mountains, in the north, the soldiers would still light the beacon fire and smoke everywhere.”
"It might be Wu Cheng, whom you are most familiar with, who also said,'A beacon fire rises in the vast sky, and the sunset clouds fall on a lonely mountain'.”
"However, Dingyuan's existence has successfully prevented the Xia people from being attacked from both the front and the back, reducing the risks in the development of civilization.”
" After such a long period of accumulation and development, the Xia State Dynasty became stronger and stronger until the two emperors of the Qing Kingdom swept through the northern borders and settled their capital in Sheng 'an. The Xia State no longer had any worries about the demons.”
" So, students, don't just listen to stories." Mu Fa extended his hand to Liu He and said seriously," You must learn to summarize experience from history.”
" Actually, the significance of building Dingyuan," Mu Fa continued when he saw that the students were deep in thought." There's more.”
" I told you before, but you obviously forgot." Mufa sighed helplessly." At that time, the old capital, Luojing, was flooded frequently.”
" If Emperor Xia wants to move north and establish Chang 'an as his capital, he can no longer rely on the Jing River as a line of defense. He must seize the entire northwest and connect the steep mountain ranges to ensure the safety of the new capital.”
" Speaking of which, the existence of Dingyuan has also opened up the land route to Pingzhou. This is the first time that the Xia people know about it." Mu Fa smiled and pointed at himself and the elven students." There is a third race in the world."”
"After going deep into the Shuanghe region, the Xia people came into contact with the elves.
"Since then, trade between the Xia and Ping continents began, and the Xia people also began to import new crops.”
" After the fall of the Xia Dynasty, the wood elves, us, moved along the Lin River and moved to Dingyuan." Mufa could not help but laugh." We began to integrate into the Xia civilization.”
" That's why we can't just listen to the story." Mufa paused for a moment and asked," What do you think of the history that he told us?"”
Before he could raise his hand, Chen Yinglong said,""A wise decision-maker is enough to determine the course of history.”
Hearing this, other than Astor and Saier, all the students nodded in agreement.
Indeed, based on the story just now, everyone really felt how important heroes were to history.
" Wrong." Mufa's voice poured cold water on them." That's not the case."”
Looking at the dumbstruck student, Mufa mischievously tilted his head."I've already reminded everyone? Think about it?"
Including Chen Yinglong, most of the students were racking their brains to find clues.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
" The flood in Luo Jing." It was still Esther who calmly broke the silence." Moving the capital is inevitable; After that, it's inevitable."
" Yes, yes, yes." Mufa couldn't help but stand up and applaud." Everything is inevitable."”
The others were still confused. They didn't understand what the inspector and Esther meant.
Sitting down again, Mu Fa began to explain to the puzzled students, saying earnestly,"Everyone has made the mistake of putting the cart before the horse.”
" Everyone believes that everything that happened came from Emperor Wu Rui's decision." Mu Fa enunciated each word carefully." Everyone believes that Emperor Wu Rui's decision influenced the development of history, right?”
Most of the students nodded silently.
"However, everyone has overlooked a fact-Emperor Wu Rui's decision was influenced by many parties and was the inevitable result.”
" He wasn't the only one who noticed that the capital was moving north and the demons were resisting." Mu Fa's tone could not help but be calm." It was the change in the environment and the needs of the people that prompted him to notice these situations.”
"The capital must move and the demons must resist. In the end, someone noticed and decided. Emperor Wu Rui was pushed by the situation at that time and stepped onto the stage of history.”
Recalling some common sayings, Mu Fa began to give examples."Has anyone heard of 'the times create heroes'?”
"Yes." All the students answered in unison.
" Anyone who has read 'Romance of Xia and Kang' will definitely remember this sentence," Mu Fa smiled." But people are often misled by novels and turn this sentence into 'heroes make the momentum'.”
"Please remember that it is the times that make heroes, not the heroes that make the times.”
"Even without Emperor Wu Rui, there would be other rulers who would recognize the situation and expand to the West Ridge.”
"Even without Wu Cheng, Zhao Cheng and Sun Cheng will end the chaotic times and establish a new dynasty.”
The clear ringing of the bell did not stop Mu Fa. He continued to speak,
" Heroes can't create history. What creates history is the entire environment of history-nature, society, and people.”
"Please remember this point, please think about it, please recognize it.”
" Well then," Mufa said to his students with a bright and charming smile." See you next class."”
