Traveling Through Daqian: Xilongfeng Rises to Build a New Yan

A lover of modern literature and history with a photographic memory unexpectedly fell into the world at the end of Da Qian and became Ma Xinghan, an orphan boy from the Ma family in Fufeng. His parents died young, and the four younger brothers and sisters in the family relied on him alone to support him. It coincided with the military recruitment in troubled times, so he decided to join the army just to exchange for food and salary to support his family. At that time, Daqian land was annexed, uprisings swept across the nine states, the states and herders were separated, the Han and Qiang people in Western Xinjiang had grievances for generations, and the barbarians outside the Great Wall plundered every year. Ma Xinghan relied on countless ancient records in his mind to improve horse equipment, train troops and work in the fields, create a mixed cavalry of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, protect the people of the Qiang tribe, and was respected by all tribes as a powerful general. He gathered strength behind closed doors in the Hexi Valley, promoted monogamy and equality between men and women, opened Anji Square to support orphans and widows, set up schools to educate poor families, and allowed Han and Qiang people to co-operate and trade with each other. When the troops were well-prepared, the cavalry went out from the east to sweep away the separatist forces in the Central Plains, unified the nine states, and named the country Yan. The whole country was red, and the red dragon flag was established as the symbol of the dynasty. Pirates on Japanese islands along the coast have robbed people for many years. Ma Xinghan created an ocean-going navy to conduct cross-sea expeditions, only to punish the culprits, and to properly resettle the islanders and resolve the estrangement through labor reform. From a small soldier farming in Longshang to a mighty general commanding thousands of horses, he finally ascended to the Nine Five-Year Plan and created a new Yan Dynasty in which all ethnic groups coexisted, the old were provided for, and the young were educated.
