Northern Song Dynasty: with the Cavalry and Cutting System 2

Zhao Chen is a modern senior "Mount and Blade 2" player, majoring in mechanical engineering and history. He is familiar with the historical context, military system and world geography of the Northern Song Dynasty. After time travel, he became the son of a run-down military household on the border of Yanzhou (now Yan'an), Shaanxi Province, in the third year of Emperor Renzong's reign in the Northern Song Dynasty (1043). He was 19 years old. His parents were killed in the war of the Xixia invasion, leaving only a dilapidated thatched hut and half an acre of thin farmland. He was of average physical fitness and had no foundation in martial arts, but he was familiar with the basic tactics of the cold weapon era. Early stage: relying on the system to establish a foothold on the border, accumulating resources and troops, and developing basic industrial technologies (iron smelting, textiles); medium stage: taking advantage of the Qingli New Deal to enter the court, integrating resources of the Northern Song Dynasty, pacifying Xixia, Liao, Dali and other regimes, and completing national unification; late stage: establishing a complete industrial system, developing the navy, opening up overseas colonies, competing for world hegemony, and creating an empire that belongs to China and the sun never sets.
