Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

You don't even know the most basic thing about not being able to marry close relatives, or why do you think Japanese people are so short?This has nothing to do with regional diet or anything.

Liu Xiu swept across Meinong City, and it was indeed as Lan Yu said, surrounded by dilapidated thatched cottages, if it was in Daming, it might be a bigger village.

In the Warring States period of Wajima, there were frequent melee battles between several daimyos, and the fights were fierce. It turned out to be village fighting? !

Originally, Liu Xiu heard this statement before traveling, and based on the truth of history, he didn't believe it yet.

But Liu Xiu couldn't help but believe that he was on the scene.

It's just fighting with weapons in the village, which makes these Japanese people feel numb. For a while, this devil king and that general's,

If they were thrown into the ancient battlefields of China, just a battle of Changping with 10 people between Qin and Zhao, wouldn't they be scared to pee? !

Chapter 173

"Hey! Boy, are you courting death?!"

While thinking, Liu Xiu's thoughts were instantly interrupted by Sapphire's strange cry,

I saw Sapphire carrying a child with slender limbs and a dirty face. The child was waving his limbs in the air, as funny as a puppet.

Liu Xiu looked at the Japanese kid. The Japanese kid met Liu Xiu's gaze, put his palms together, and said in unproficient Chinese,

"My lord, I am Zuo Qingzhu, I hope to be your guide!"

Lan Yu frowned, "Hehe, why can everyone speak a few words of Chinese?"

Liu Xiu signaled Lanyu to put Zuo Qingzhu down, Zuo Qingzhu kowtowed three times on the ground, glanced at Lanyu with palpitations, crawled to Liu Xiu's feet,

Looking at the Japanese boy, whose arm was as thin as a small wooden stick, Liu Xiu felt a little distressed,

"How can you speak Chinese?"

Zuo Qingzhu raised his head and said humbly, "I have been living around Mino, Shinano, and Sanjiang all year round, and I have learned a few languages."

Self-taught Chinese, and still able to speak intelligible, I didn't expect this child to have a bright mind.

"You're pretty smart, so what are you looking for me for?"

When Zuo Qingzhu saw something interesting, he hurriedly said excitedly, "My lord, I hope to be your guide in Shinano Castle! You only need a few buns, and you can understand the situation of the entire Japanese island!"

Lan Yu stood beside her with her arms folded and said nothing. It seemed that when she spoke Chinese just now, the child overheard her.

Then, Zuo Qingzhu boldly stepped forward to hope that Liu Xiu could hire him.

There was a flash of appreciation in Sapphire's eyes, this child is indeed not simple.

Sapphire is very inclined to hire Zuo Qingzhu, after all, Japanese people know Wadao better, not to mention that the commission is not expensive, but Sapphire just keeps silent,

Along the way, Lan Yu believed that Liu Xiu would make the most correct judgment.

"Okay." Liu Xiugang was about to take out a few pieces of silver, when he suddenly found that the surrounding eyes full of maliciousness were all focused on Zuo Qingzhu,

Liu Xiu paused, walked to a steaming steamed stuffed bun stand, squeezed out a grain of silver, and exchanged all the steamed stuffed buns with the steamed stuffed bun stall owner.

Zuo Qingzhu's eyes lit up, and his stomach immediately growled.

Liu Xiu greeted Zuo Qingzhu and said with a smile, "Come, eat, and lead the way after eating."

Zuo Qingzhu ran over madly, just as he was about to grab the buns, he suddenly thought that Liu Xiu should eat first, then looked at Liu Xiu eagerly,

Liu Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then understood what Zuo Qingzhu meant, and said with a smile,

"There are so many, let's eat together."

Zuo Qingzhu couldn't be more polite, and began to bite a big bun in one hand.

"Do you want to eat?" Liu Xiu looked at Lan Yu.

"Eat, I'm hungry too."

Liu Xiu and Lan Yu also gathered around the bun stall and started eating. Liu Xiu opened the buns and found that Wadao buns were not only wrapped in a different way from those in the Central Plains, but even the stuffing inside was not vegetables or meat, but red bean paste and red beans. kind of stuffing,

It's a steamed stuffed bun, but it looks like a huge glutinous rice ball.

Liu Xiu took a bite, and it tasted good, but it was very choking. Originally, the steamed stuffed bun stuffing was enough, and bean paste was added as the filling.

Anyway, Liu Xiu would be full after eating one. Liu Xiu looked at Zuo Qingzhu and found that he had already eaten three. Liu Xiu suddenly realized that the steamed stuffed buns from Wa Island were made to satisfy hunger, and the taste was secondary. .

After Zuo Qingzhu was full, Zuo Qingzhu got up quickly, knelt down towards Liu Xiu,

"Thank you sir!"

"Don't just kneel down, it's really tiring to watch, tell me about the situation on Wajima."

"Yes, my lord. This is the Kingdom of Shinano. We call it Shinshu. It belongs to the Higashiyama Road. It is the focus of the battle between the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is divided into prefectures, high wells, and Saku..."

Liu Xiu frowned slightly, there are still many counties under Shinano?Why didn't I notice it at all, it feels like I went directly from Sanjiang to Shinano,

After thinking about it, I'm afraid the scattered small villages I saw on the road are the so-called Gaochuan County and Saku County!

Liu Xiu scratched her head, good guy, the local administrative plan of Wa Island is more complicated than that of the Central Plains,

The Daqin system of prefectures and counties appeared as the opposite of feudalism.

According to Zuo Qingzhu, Shinano is a country, and the country is divided into counties and counties. This is like the local administrative model of the same-surnamed states in the early Han Dynasty.

Moreover, Liu Xiu keenly noticed that Zuo Qingzhu said that Shinano Kingdom belongs to Dongshan Road, that is to say, there is still a first-level place on Wa Island,

The local establishment of Dao appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Xuanzong roughly divided the world into fifteen Dao according to the geographical situation of mountains, rivers and rivers.

In the Song Dynasty, Dao was established as a local system instead. The reason was that the Tang Dynasty envoys occupied each Dao and gave each Dao administrative significance. The Song Dynasty wanted to get rid of this institutional system, but it was impossible.

Therefore, whether it is counties or counties, or the coexistence of counties and counties, or the establishment of prefectures and prefectures, there is an internal logic in the Central Plains.

And this Japanese island is not a big place at all, so it has learned all the local systems of the Central Plains, and it is divided into countries and roads, but it is a mess.

Back then, Brother Zheng swept Liuhe and unified the world, but he only divided the world into 36 counties, which shows that administration is simple and easy to understand.

And just under the small Shinano country, there are more than a dozen counties...

It seems that the Japanese were not good at learning skills in the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Liu Xiu frowned slightly, Zuo Qingzhu was startled, thinking that his speech was not good, so he quickly knelt down, "My lord, but did the villain not speak well?"

Liu Xiu came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "No, that's not bad, tell me about Mino again."

"Okay!" Zuo Qingzhu was delighted when he heard that he was still useful, "Minong Country, Nongzhou, also belongs to Dongshan Road, and there are Gushang and Anba..."

Zuo Qingzhu mentioned more than [-] counties in a row,

It seems that Mino is much bigger than Shinano.

This also confirms from the side that Emperor Daigo's power is far from that of Ashikaga Takaji.

Lan Yu yawned. He felt that what Zuo Qingzhu said was extremely boring, without any useful information.

Liu Xiu waited until Zuo Qingzhu finished speaking, and asked, "Where does the Emperor of Shinano live?"

"there!"

Liu Xiu and the two looked in the direction Zuo Qingzhu pointed, and saw that there was indeed a huge building in the place far away from Shinano, where the mountains were surrounded by clouds, and it looked like a fairyland.

"That's the Imperial Palace." Zuo Qingzhu looked in that direction piously.

Looking at the Imperial Palace, Liu Xiu suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart. This fairyland-like building formed a huge contrast with the dilapidated scene in Shinano.

This made Liu Xiu very uncomfortable.

"My lord, are you going there?" Zuo Qingzhu suddenly thought of something, and looked at Liu Xiu in shock.

"Well, I was indeed invited by Emperor Daigo, so how about you go with me?"

Zuo Qingzhu froze in place, subconsciously grabbed Liu Xiu's lapel, and said excitedly, "Is what you said true? My lord! Am I also eligible to enter the Imperial Palace?"

Suddenly, there was a rush of hoofbeats from far and near,

"Uh, I'll take you in, so it should be fine." Liu Xiu thought for a while, but the problem wasn't that big of a deal.

Speaking of which, Liu Xiu really liked the kid Zuo Qingzhu.

puff!Swish!

An extremely dull sound of beheading rang in Liu Xiu's ears. Liu Xiu watched Zuo Qing help the head to separate,

Before Liu Xiu could react, several voices sounded respectfully,

"Emperor's guard, welcome to your lord!"

Chapter 174 Kill

Zuo Qingzhu's hand was still holding on to Liu Xiu's clothes, but his head rolled to the ground, covered with countless dust, and his bright eyes were still full of the excitement of seeing the Emperor.

Blood sprayed on Liu Xiu's body, Liu Xiu was stunned in place,

Zuo Qingzhu, a big living person, was chopped off just like that?

This sense of impact is definitely not experienced in the Central Plains.

Of course, there were many vicious thieves in Daming under Lao Zhu's rule, but there would never be a situation where soldiers hacked people casually on the street for no reason, as if this Zuo Qingzhu was just an insect.

Sapphire roared, and rushed out like a hungry tiger, subduing the enemy in a blink of an eye.

Lan Yuqiang pressed the killing intent, looked at Liu Xiu, and said coldly, "Will you kill me?"

Liu Xiu looked blankly at the blood on his body, then looked at the emperor's guards and asked in confusion, "Why did you kill him?"

The leading warrior in armor said in unproficient Chinese, "We, protect, my lord, be safe."

Liu Xiu was taken aback again, and pointed to her nose, "Are you protecting me?"

"Correct!"

"You think this kid is going to kill me?"

"Correct!"

"Hehe," Liu Xiu's eyes gradually became cold, and he completely understood what these warriors meant.

Protecting yourself is bullshit!If you want to protect, you can choose other methods, far from directly beheading an unarmed child.

And they deliberately executed Zuo Qingzhu in the bloodiest way, just to let the blood splash on themselves,

This is the emperor's disarmament!
