Daming kill

Chapter 281 A Different World
In the next few days, everyone on board turned cold towards Liu Rushi and the three daughters, and stopped pestering them to ask questions and listen to stories, and no one even talked to them unless necessary.

Their freedom also began to be very strictly restricted. Most of the time they were ordered to stay in the narrow cabin, and they were no longer allowed to disembark even when they were letting the wind and stretching their bodies, even if they were only half a step away from the ship.

Although the weather is relatively cold now, not only is the cabin not stuffy, it is even warmer, but this still makes the three girls feel very uncomfortable and aggrieved.

Especially when it's convenient!
Just thinking about the cramped, inaccessible space and the embarrassment of almost no sound barrier is enough to drive people crazy.

But that's not the worst part!
The food they received also began to become crude, no longer any different from the officers, soldiers and boatmen on board.

In fact, they no longer receive special care, but eat the same march meals as everyone else, and rarely see rice anymore.

As a result, they only ate dry fried noodles twice, and they couldn't take it anymore and went hungry for a few meals. The three women who were used to eating rice and fine dining gave in completely in the face of hunger.

They actually began to flock to northern pasta such as steamed buns and flatbreads, which they had never touched before, even though they were cold and hard.

Chow mein must be the last option.

Fortunately, the drinking water they can get is always boiled clean water, so they don't have to worry about stomach upset.

In this regard, the army was once again incredibly different.

Li Ping actually used military law to force anyone to drink unboiled water, and he did not distinguish between soldiers and civilians.

And this has nothing to do with the swollen and floating corpses that appear more and more frequently in the river, but it is said that this has been the case since Li Ping took charge of the army.

However, the swollen and floating corpses that appear more and more frequently in the river also make people feel the atmosphere of war more and more intensely.

No matter how glorious Li Ping is said to have been, chasing down Zhang Xianzhong, a giant bandit with millions of people, is undoubtedly still a thrilling journey.

Amid boredom and depression, the three women, who had been stuck in the cabin all day, had no choice but to look through the large number of study books for soldiers stored on the ship.

Although they had already been shocked, they couldn't help being shocked again when they looked closely.

And this has nothing to do with the use of abbreviations that are completely incomprehensible in almost all books, even many of them have never seen it before!

Although most of the soldiers' study books are relatively superficial, they are strictly divided into categories, and they cover everything from the simplest literacy to arithmetic, history, geography and even medicine.

It is said that these books are usually distributed to every company in Li Ping's army.Officers and soldiers study together as needed or find a special custodian to borrow.

Due to Dong Jiangpeng’s factors and the fact that they are guarded by Li Ping’s most elite and close guard battalion, and a large number of books that are usually not available even at the first level are also stored on their ship for unified storage and transportation. It is complete and some of the books are relatively deep.

As a result, there are quite a lot of content, even Liu Rushi, who has the most knowledge and miscellaneous knowledge, has never been exposed to it.

Especially the more they read, the more unfamiliar words in the book they come into contact with.Sometimes the number of unfamiliar words is so large that they can't read it at all, so they have to ask He Xiu'er who is very embarrassing frequently for advice.

In fact, Dong Jiangpeng is the one who understands these unfamiliar words most often.

But because Dong Jiangpeng often doesn't show up now and always avoids them deliberately even after they come to the boat, they have to retreat to ask He Xiuer, who is still unable to pull down too much and is also a woman, for advice.

It is really surprising that even Liu Rushi, a well-educated and well-informed person, cannot read books.

Liu Rushi and the three daughters were also very confused.

But they can only be dumbfounded!

Because this not only involves the sharp increase in vocabulary caused by the development of the times and the large number of proper nouns in subject books, but also involves a large number of Chinese borrowings from Japanese in modern Chinese.

Although many people are very disgusted with Little Japan, the large number of Japanese borrowings in modern Chinese is an unavoidable problem.

Politics, economy, culture, science, chemistry, physics, biology, military, law, society, fortifications, furniture, switching, procedures, surgery, philosophy, etc., these common words in our daily life are actually derived from Japanese.

According to the estimation of Professor Chen Liwei who specializes in this situation, there are at least [-] Japanese loanwords in the common vocabulary of modern Chinese.

Of course, some of these [-] words are native to Chinese, and have been endowed with new meanings in Japanese. For example, "physics" originally referred to "Gewuzhili", a philosophical term, but in Japanese, it has become a scientific term.

Words such as economy, doctrine, society, culture, art, revolution, and production first entered Japanese from Chinese, and after being endowed with new modern meanings in Japanese, they were absorbed by Chinese.

And some are original in Japanese.For example, the common term "military" that is inseparable from the modern army actually came from the Sino-Japanese War.

There are also Chinese character representations such as "banning, combination, position, entrance, exit, square" that belong to pure Japanese.The words "gas, club, lymph, romance, concrete" are Chinese transliterations of loan words created by Japan.As for "telephone, philosophy, art, subjectivity, symbol" are new translated words created by Japan alone.

There are also some words, such as "intelligence, designation, push volume, purpose, failure, publication, illiteracy", which belong to Japanese Chinese, that is, words created by the Japanese using Chinese characters.

All of the above words are very commonly used by modern Chinese. It can be said that without these words, you would not know how to speak or express meaning.

Strictly speaking, among the 5.6 commonly used words in modern Chinese, there are 4032 Japanese loanwords, accounting for 7.2%.Of course, if the scope of Japanese loanwords is widened, the number will increase.

Among the 4000 commonly used words in the political, legal and economic fields of modern Chinese, the proportion of Japanese loanwords is as high as 38%.

This is why some Japanese feel a sense of cultural superiority when talking about Japanese loanwords in Chinese.

Because there are so many Japanese loanwords in modern Chinese, as well as the rapid increase in new vocabulary due to the development of the times and a large number of brand-new proper nouns unique to subject books, that is, almost a large number of vocabulary that did not exist in this era, Li Ping It is almost impossible to choose to leave it alone.

Moreover, pushing modern science and modern thinking, it is impossible for him to avoid these words.

When he no longer cares about many things, Li Ping will naturally start to follow his own habits and directly adopt the doctrine of borrowing, and then influence the people around him to learn to use it.

Of course, this will inevitably make the language environment in Li Ping's army more and more incompatible with the surroundings. The difference may be greater than the difference between dialects. After all, most of the dialects can still find corresponding words.

However, most of Li Ping's new "vocabularies" cannot find the words that can correspond to the interpretation, but must use sentences to explain, and some even cannot explain a sentence or two.

This difference is also the biggest and most unnegligible difference between Li Ping's army and those around it.It may also be the most important difference between modern Chinese and ancient Chinese in terms of language and expression.

But at the same time, this difference must also become more obvious the closer you get to Li Ping's inner circle.

After all, the influence of Li Ping's modern people is gradual. The closer to them and the longer they have been in Li Ping's army, the more they are affected, while the peripheral and relatively recent joiners are not so obvious or affected at present.

However, these modern vocabulary will also explode naked and no longer cover up in the books written by Li Ping, Song Baolai, Gao Lei, and Zhao Lanyue to promote the level of knowledge.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Liu Rushi and the three daughters who have just arrived are stunned and unable to understand.

Due to too many differences, as well as the increasing number of differences discovered and their incomprehension, the three daughters of Liu Rushi became more and more confused.

In particular, the differences shown in the language in the book have almost reached a level that is completely incomprehensible.

Of course, they also quickly understood that the root of all problems should be directed to the commander of this army - Li Ping's.

But this is even more confusing.

Liu Rushi felt that Li Ping came from a foreign land.

She told Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan about this feeling, but they didn't take it too seriously, they just thought Liu Rushi was thinking too much.

China is so big, with so many customs and customs, and there are so many strange people and strangers. It is not uncommon for them to be poor at the imperial examinations and want to study miscellaneous things. It is normal for them to be ignorant and ignorant.

What's more, Li Ping has a pure Chinese appearance and speaks fluent Chinese.Not to mention that he is still an authentic Shandong native, and he is young, so he has never heard of and probably has no time to go to any foreign land.

Liu Ru was helpless, and could only suppress this strange feeling in her heart.

Due to the speed of the march, Liu Rushi's three daughters followed Li Ping's army to Badong County on this day.

After passing through Badong County, they will officially enter Sichuan.

But when they took a rare short rest here before entering Sichuan, the three daughters of Liu Rushi also witnessed another thing that surprised them very much.

Two human heads were stuck on bamboo poles and gongs were played along the road to show off to the public.

According to the loud and repeated narrator who followed the head, the two men were soldiers belonging to the third regiment, the second battalion and the sixth company. They robbed a family of people while performing a search mission in the mountains far away from the county seat.According to the order of the Political Department, he was beheaded to show military discipline.

The military discipline is so strict, although Liu Rushi and the three daughters, who have gradually realized it, are not too surprised, but they were touched again.

Especially when they heard that the soldiers on the ship who went to inquire about details came back and told other soldiers and boatmen that the two soldiers who had been beheaded had just robbed things and did not hurt anyone, and the things they robbed were not worth much money.

If they are not soldiers but protect the people or camp workers in the camp, in the current marching situation, they may only be punished by the police and demand multiple compensations.

Life should not be lost.

Unfortunately, they are soldiers.

However, the order to execute the soldiers came from the political department that managed the propaganda team, not from Li Ping.

Liu Rushi's third daughter was rather unexpected.

Liu Rushi realized that Li Ping's subordinate departments not only had the right to handle the strictest military discipline enforcement, but also had a clear division of labor, and they had been fully functioning.

And it seems that Li Ping does not need to use such incidents to establish his dignity personally.

Although a lot of new emotions and thoughts arose, the three women soon stopped paying attention to this matter.

You can rest for a whole day, no longer rushing on the road, and start a fire everywhere to cook rice.Today's staple food seems to be rice, which makes the three women salivate and don't care about anything else.

In fact, lighting fires and cooking rice everywhere has nothing to do with Liu Rushi and the three daughters.

After Li Ping left Xiangyang, the main food he got again was rice, and most of the civilian soldiers who followed him came from areas that only ate rice.

Since it is a rest, with enough free time, enough space, and enough firewood can be collected, it is natural to adjust the staple food to rice with the largest stock.

While the three women were happily waiting to eat delicious rice, a strange and beautiful girl in plain clothes suddenly came to their boat accompanied by several capable soldiers.

This was the first person besides the guards on the ship and Li Ping who approached them these days, and they were not driven away.

This is naturally somewhat surprising, and obviously sudden.

What's even more surprising is that everyone on board was extremely respectful to this plainly dressed girl, and all of them disembarked without hesitation when the girl only said a word.

Surprised, Liu Rushi noticed that although the girl's makeup was very light, it was obviously carefully crafted. Not only was it novel and unique, but it also gave people a very comfortable and beautiful feeling. Seems like a familiar aesthetic.

And his demeanor is also very special.

It is both free and easy, and has an excellent temperament.

And the girl's subsequent self-introduction was also surprising.

"My name is Zhao Lanyue, Li Ping's wife who is about to marry. I have heard that several sisters are both beautiful and talented, and I admire them very much. I come to bother you today, and please don't be disgusted with them."

Of course, this also made Liu Rushi and the three daughters have to hold back when they looked at Zhao Lanyue up and down a little impolitely and showed great curiosity about their family background, marriage and other privacy.

Although Zhao Lanyue has always been very kind, but the cheerful atmosphere does not exist, it is more just a question and answer.

When Zhao Lanyue finally left after staying for a long time, the three women were confused and looked at each other for a long time without knowing what to say, and even forgot to eat the rice that was brought in for a while.

In the end, it was Dong Xiaowan who spoke first: "This woman is so shameless. She also knows that she is not married yet, and that she is going to marry the biggest official here. But look at her breasts! She is not ashamed to say that she is not ashamed. Pass the door! Why don't you even want face?"

Don't look at Dong Xiaowan's background is not good, and Qinhuai is famous for her beauty, but she is very self-respecting, and she is also the most conservative among the three women.

But Liu Rushi gave a confused answer and asked, "She has a very special way of speaking, and her makeup is also very special. Those strange words are more than Dong Jiangpeng, and He Xiuer's makeup should be imitated from her. Although simple and light, but very distinctive , the charm is also very unique, very nice.”

"En." Li Xiangjun nodded sharply from the side to express his agreement.

"what?"

Dong Xiaowan was stunned.
