Chapter XXXIV: Regional Discrimination
Kimura lowered his head and spoke earnestly, but it still couldn't reverse the determination of the others.
"Now that Stone Town is full of treasures, who cares about a garbage fake?"
"Despicable people from Yingzhou, seeing that we are not easy to mess with, want to tempt us with the sales pitch in the tabloids? ”
"Don't say that about the samurai brother, maybe it's the 'treasure sword' that people bought with their life savings......
"All right, don't be sneering. Chiliantai saw that the more they talked, the more energetic he opened his mouth to stop it.
"Your Excellency Kimura is from Yingzhou, which is said to be poorer than our Leizhou. Even among the samurai, there are those who can't even afford to eat white rice. ”
"This Lake Toya is garbage in your eyes, but he must have drained his savings in Yingzhou!"
"Your Excellency Chiliantai, you have earned my respect. Kimura, who had been bowing his head, suddenly raised his head.
"Money is available when you need it, but good knives and good people are not easy to find. ”
Because of the vast area and large population, the 36 states of the five regions of the Heng Dynasty have great cultural differences and customs. Due to the lack of public wisdom and the encouragement of foreign forces, the 36 prefectures and the five regions have been labeled with various labels and have become the hardest hit areas of regional discrimination.
The Southern Regions look down on the stupidity of the Northern Regions, the Northern Regions look down on the weakness of the Southern Regions, the Middle Regions look down on the shrewdness and stinginess of the Eastern Regions, and the people of the Eastern Regions look down on the arrogance and arrogance of the people in the Middle Regions...... Of course, because of the uneven development of various regions, the regions with large populations, good economies, and old seniority occupy the top of the chain of regional discrimination, and the states and counties with few people and poor people are at the bottom of the chain of discrimination.
Since it was incorporated into the interior a thousand years ago, Leizhou in the southern region has been at the end of the chain of discrimination because it is poor and rotten. The people of Leizhou have always been discriminated against by the people of the whole country. Of course, the people of Leizhou want to get rid of this situation, but the court regards Leizhou as an ideal place for the distribution of frontiers, and all kinds of criminals, criminals, traitors, and thieves will be thrown here, and the efforts of the people of Leizhou cannot wash away so much sewage, and Leizhou will not be able to turn over for thousands of years.
The people are rude, eat cats, dogs, and rat meat, and the state of great poverty, the state of sinners, and the state of big abduction and trafficking...... The people of Leizhou, who have been labeled with various labels, have never been able to find a sense of superiority because they are at the end of the chain of discrimination.
However, this thousand-year-old history of humiliation finally came to an end 16 years ago! Yingzhou, the newly joined Eastern Regions, was completely demonized by the mutual attacks of the reform camp and the opposition camp because the struggle for the reform was too tragic. The people of Yingzhou are ugly and short, the men are cruel, the women go to the sea to sell their bodies for money, the father and daughter bathe together**, and the samurai are addicted to same-sex love...... All sorts of pickpocketing and smear articles were hyped up in the newspapers.
Now that the people of Leizhou have finally gotten rid of the end of the chain of discrimination, they can openly despise other states.
"We eat cats, dogs, rat meat, overseas smuggling, abduction and trafficking of human beings, but we know that we are good people, because there is still Yingzhou as a ghost animal to make comparison!"
Leizhou people have a trace of pride in their hearts since then, but Yingzhou people have become a stepping stone for them to maintain self-confidence.
Gui Kotaro, the tall foot of Yingzhou Restoration boss Yoshida Matsuyo, and the double beauty of the Yingzhou Military Training Hall with the qualification of exemption from all transmissions, has been subjected to naked regional discrimination by Leizhou people since he arrived in Yingzhou. As the person in charge of the Sea Cliff City Dojo, Katsura, who goes by the pseudonym Kimura, is accustomed to the prejudice of the people of Leizhou. From the martial arts cultivator who came to kick the gym to the official head catcher who had nothing to find fault with, from the big man who looked at him with strange eyes to the middle-aged who pointed behind his back, he was simply unbearable.
The cynicism of the few people in front of him was a common thing in his eyes. However, it is precisely because of this that people who are not moved by prejudice in this environment are even more valuable.
"Your Excellency Kimura has won the prize. Chiliantai showed a hint of embarrassment, and then said goodbye according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.
"The green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, and he meets the rivers and lakes every day, and then he is a glass of wine. ”
After saying that, the four of them turned around and left.
Kimura looked at the backs of the four of them, and a helpless look flashed in his eyes, followed by a deep determination that disappeared in a flash.
This coming to the south is related to Yingzhou's downfall. The remnants of the Restoration gathered the scribes of the Heng Dynasty in Stone City, and the former governor and elite of the Eastern Regions Protectorate were also involved, and finally the jade was burned, which was a godsend for some people in Yingzhou.
Yoshida Songyang, who does not agree with the ideas of Li Deyu and others, and advocates "the reform of one state, first easy and then difficult", has always been criticized by the mainstream as an independent faction. Now that the mainstream has fallen, he will no longer be constrained in his actions, and he will henceforth appear on the stage of Yunlu and lead his disciples to set off a local war.
However, the war is not something that can be started with a slogan, and everything from financial resources to weapons and equipment to the name of righteousness needs to be prepared. After all, Yoshida Matsuyo is only a Confucian in the wilderness, although the establishment of the academy has cultivated a group of disciples who are both civil and military, and has a certain amount of power in Yingzhou, but it is too far from the goal of waging war.
Fortunately, the remaining Restoration Boss didn't know if he needed his support or for some other purpose, and informed Stone Town of the plan for the Dragon Vein Trap. So Yoshida Matsuyo escorted their suicide actions while sending his disciples and Yingzhou powerhouses to the nearest Sea Cliff City to take care of their funeral......
In Kimura's heart, all the treasures in Stone Town are the collective results of the Restoration Group, and they should all contribute to the great cause of the Restoration in Yingzhou. With these treasures they have the funds and equipment to wage war, with these treasures they can find foreign reinforcements, and with these treasures they can achieve decisive victories.
Unfortunately, the price paid for these treasures is unimaginable. Behind the unimpeded stone cliff mountain road of Chiliantai and his party are the bones of many Yingzhou warriors.
In order to blockade Stone Town, the Retro Party has set up an unknown number of defenses on the periphery. When Kimura and the others fought last night, they opened the route to Stone Town.
According to the original plan, they will ambush the returning retro party at the junction between the inland and the outside world, and the other party is paralyzed because of the annihilation of the reformers, relying on Yingzhou's developed assassination skills and the environment of the outer region to isolate the cultural and Taoist supernatural powers, it can be completely wiped out with one blow.
It's just that this plan didn't wait for the retro party members who came to return, and after some heated discussions, Kimura and the others decided to march towards Stone Town.
Unexpectedly, the harsh environment of Stone Town was beyond their imagination. The samurai who survived the battle did not die under the enemy's sword, but died on the spot because of various broken traps. Kimura and the others didn't find a single treasure they were looking for, and the area they were looking for was as clean as a dog had licked it!
No treasures were found, and many classmates died, so Kimura and the others naturally didn't have the face to go back, so they had to go deeper. And they were gone, and they were separated.
Kimura, who escaped, had to return to the entrance to ask for help, although it was called asking for help, but it was actually to find cannon fodder to open the way. Of course, if he doesn't want to be cannon fodder, he will let the other party know how terrible the Yingzhou warriors are!
