Shanxi City, in fact, is a simple walled fence, located on the bank of the tributary of the Shangshang River, there are large tracts of farmland nearby, more than ten miles away from Shanxi City, is the Gem Mountain Standing Stone Temple.

In his previous life, Lu Ning came to this stone temple, of course, what he saw was the stone temple that was rebuilt after it was destroyed during the Warring States period because the monks and soldiers participated in the battle of the world, which is very different from today.

Nowadays, this standing stone temple, the incense is extremely prosperous, as the largest temple in the northeast region, it occupies tens of thousands of acres of farmland and mountains and forests around.

The monks of Lishi Temple are Tiantai sect, that is, the Middle Earth school, and not the Pure Land Zhenzong that can marry and have children in the local area of Dongying, of course, today's monks, rich and powerful, and there are many monks who really have cultivation, but there are more people in the secret camp dogs, so many people in ancient times, the most favorite to describe **, is the temple.

There are more than 200 monks and slaves in Lishi Temple, and the temple itself has built dozens of pheasant knives to arm young and strong monks and slaves to prevent thieves, which is the prototype of monk soldiers.

The early strike girl and ashigaru who came from Xinqi City lived in the Standing Stone Temple, and the monks' houses, servants' rooms, warehouses and other houses were crowded to the fullest, and the monks and others had to temporarily find their own places to live, and they had to go down the mountain and temporarily go to the farmer's house to live temporarily.

Empress Xiao, Yi Lazy, Lu Lihua and more than a dozen close female guards lived in the main Zen courtyard of the Standing Stone Temple in the back mountain.

Lu Ning led his group of nine foot soldiers, and twenty Ezo servants, who also lived in the Zen courtyard and lived in the front yard, where the monks, novices, and boys who served the master were originally inhabited, but now they were all driven out together with Master Guan Enlightenment.

The environment of the Zen monastery is extremely quiet, surrounded by verdant mountains and forests, and in the middle of the night, all the sounds are silent, but the sound of cicadas seeps into the stone.

On the same day, Master Wuwu wrote a document to give nearly 20,000 acres of mountain forest and fields, including the back mountain, to the two ladies of Chengxiang Hall and Lijing Palace, that is, the temple property was almost half plundered, and the news soon reached the ears of the temple farmers at the bottom of the mountain, some of them were at a loss, some were angry, but they were helpless.

……

In the Heian period, the temple architecture of Toei Temple has formed its own style, and the same is true of the Zen temple of Tateishiji Temple, with its small grilled wooden houses, chic cloisters, and lush trees in the courtyard, except for the mosquitoes, but it is a good place for cultivation.

Lu Ning and the nine foot soldiers lived in a row of four-bay wooden houses, with an elevated ganji-style building in the lower part, a typical Japanese-style hut group.

Originally, the team leader was supposed to live with the foot soldiers, but there happened to be three people in one room, and Lu Ning lived alone.

Twenty Ezo servants were crowded into a row of huts on the other side, and when they slept, they all turned over and squeezed, which was similar to the Chase Shops of some rural boarding schools in Lu Ning's impression of his previous life.

At dinner, according to the practice in the army, Lu Ning gathered all the soldiers, including fifteen Ezo servants, and sat on the ground one by one, all of them surrounded a circle, and the circle was full of several large pots of meat fried rice, although the meat was very little, but each grain of this fried rice was equal to oily, and it was extremely full of fine rice, which was the people of Daqi, and ordinary civilians would be able to be so luxurious during the New Year, of course, rich places, such as the residents of Bianjing City, were another situation.

Rice, meat, etc. are all from the storage of Lishi Temple, and the soldiers have traveled a long distance over the mountains and mountains, and when they arrive here, they naturally want to open the meat and eat something good.

Lu Ning took the lead, and the military song chorus sang before the meal, and nine of his Xuanfu soldiers, eight from the northern departments, one Korean, plus fifteen Ezo auxiliaries, sang the military song and stammered, but the rhythm was still there.

According to the regulations of the Zhendong Army, unless it is absolutely necessary, ordinary conversations must be in standard Central Plains, and the same is naturally true for Xuanfu Pawn.

Every squad leader in the Xuanfu battalion is from the Beijing Garrison Army, and one of their tasks is to teach the soldiers the original dialect.

Although before the Eastern Crusade, these soldiers trained for several months, and during the training period, learning to speak the Central Plains dialect was also an important item, but how could a language be learned in a few months?

However, if this language is spoken in a normal living environment, it is possible to communicate easily and slowly.

And to learn the Central Plains dialect, the first thing to learn is the military song.

Nowadays, with the integration of many border soldiers, the lyrics of military songs have gradually changed, from singing in unison for thousands of miles to "all ethnic groups protect the holy emperor, and thousands of miles of sea and mountains sing in unison" and the like.

Listening to their stammering singing, Lu Ning laughed secretly in his stomach, but he faintly felt that there was a strange sense of solemnity, and their singing seemed to be getting more and more pleasing to the ear.

After finishing the song, Lu Ning pointed to one of the soldiers: "Madashan, you come to serve dinner today!" ”

The bearded man stood up immediately, "Yes! ”

The meal, including Lu Ning, a total of twenty-four people, one Xuanfu and five Ezo auxiliaries were not there, because the Ezo auxiliaries were divided into four groups, a group of five people, who took turns to stand guard outside the Zen courtyard, each group, three hours, and Xuanfu guards, there will also be a soldier guarding outside, which is also a round every three hours.

Lu Ning was also filled with a pottery bowl of fried rice, which contained slightly more meat residue than in other people's bowls, and Lu Ning didn't say much, in the army, it was originally a place where the upper and lower levels should be extremely distinct, and this privilege should still be had by the team leader.

Eating with a stuffy head, no one talking.

After all, it turned out that the team leader who was familiar with them was sick, and they were not familiar with the new team leader.

"Madashan, do you have something to ask?" Lu Ning suddenly looked at the guy who had been secretly looking at him.

Ma Dashan grinned, "Team leader, I, you, aren't you angry?" ”

Lu Ning smiled, "Say it, as long as it's not a big rebellious word, I won't be angry." ”

"I, I don't dare...... I, loyalty......" Madashan blushed all of a sudden, and his beard blew excitedly.

Lu Ning smiled: "Then hurry up and say, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, like a woman!" ”

Some soldiers laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed, and the new team leader also liked to joke.

Ma Shan seemed to think about how to pronounce it for a while, and then stammered: "Female novice, where have you gone?" ”

Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "Damn, do you want a woman?" ”

With these rough soldiers, I don't have to care about the majesty of my demeanor, and I chatter with them very casually, which is actually quite interesting.

The female novice mentioned by Madashan was discovered when she drove out the servants of the master of the Enlightenment in the Zen monastery, and there was a little novice dressed as a woman, needless to say, she was the lover of the great monk Wu.

The great monk of enlightenment had to dedicate most of the mountains and forests of the temple, and he was also lazy to threaten to do so, if he was not willing to give it, your false monk would be driven out of the standing stone temple with a bad reputation.

"Yes." Ma Dashan licked his lips, hehehe

Lu Ning bowed slightly, and his face became solemn, "No matter what, military law cannot be violated!" ”

Originally, seeing that the team leader was kind, Ma Dashan also wanted to take the opportunity to ask if the traitors he exterminated had female dependents, could he wait for the first time.

After all, of the more than 1,000 military horses who came to Shanxi, only ten of them were genuine Qi Dynasty officers and soldiers, with the highest status, and the rest were vassal troops, which also meant that the emperor was far away, as long as the team leader did not report, no one would know what to do.

Listening to Lu Ning's words, Ma Dashan's heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes!" ”

Lu Ning's face was solemn, but he sighed softly in his heart, thinking about it, these tribes were recruited to cross the ocean to the east, is it for some lofty ideal? Don't you want to be promoted and get rich and have a woman?

In fact, there were already camp prostitutes in the Zhendong Army, most of them were captured "Gui Nu" and fierce resistance to the city gate women, Gui Nu was the official prostitutes set up by Dongying in the town guard mansions of Dewa and Mutsu, and they were also camp prostitutes serving the border army of Zhengyi.

After all, they are far away from the ocean, and their relatives have not yet sent them over, and the soldiers will be homesick, and the camp prostitutes can comfort them well.

And follow his own Xuanfu pawn, it is a bit of an ascetic, Xinqi City is a big city, to the north of the traffic point, naturally there are brothels, but this kind of complex place, Xuanfu pawn is forbidden to enter and exit.

It is not necessarily a good thing that this kind of high-pressure policy continues.

After thinking about it, Lu Ning said mysteriously: "I heard Shangguan say that the Eastern Expeditionary Army implements a new law, and the new Qi City may set up a teaching workshop, you guys, just know it yourself, don't spread it!" ”

Madashan and so on, immediately eyebrows fluttered.

Lu Ning pondered, there should be a teaching workshop to serve Xuanfu, but the women in the middle, the recruitment with money is mainly voluntary, after all, there are many prostitutes in Dongying today, such as white beaters, witch prostitutes, boat girls, etc., and there is no need to recruit people if they have money, but in this way, it is easy to be infiltrated by the fine works from the south, which is necessary to be guarded against.

Moreover, it is necessary as a means of reward not to make the Department of Education a dozen miserable places a day, and at the same time to prevent some diseases, so that the quality of the women recruited by the Department of Education is also higher.

While pondering, the outer guards hurriedly came in and announced that Liu Taro, the lord of Shanxi City, had arrived and asked to see the two female princesses.

This time to suppress the bandits, Lu Ning, the head of the team, commanded the whole army, but the nominal highest status is the two female royal lords sent by the general court, and on the big festival, Lu Ning also has to obey their orders, for example, if the two female princesses want to arrest Liu Taro, Lu Ning will carry it out, but how to carry out military operations, that is Lu Ning's business.

After the military horses of Xinqi Castle entered the Shanxi territory, Taro Murayama sent to meet and coordinate the arrival of the bandit military horses in Tateishi Temple, and according to the retainer, Taro Murayama led his subordinates to search for the traces of the traitors, and happened to be not in the city.

Now, it's here.

Lu Ning got up, "I'll accompany him to see the two female princesses!" ”

……

Taro Murayama is an old man in his fifties with a hooked nose, which makes his face look a little gloomy.

He Lu Ning came to the Houzen Courtyard all the way and met Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy.

Sitting on the side of the meditation room, there are also Lu Lihua and Liang Yuqian.

Liang Yuqian, the woman captured by Lu Ning when he conquered Xiongsheng City, was the wife of Kiyohara Masamori, the head of the Kiyohara clan.

Imperial front is the title of a noble woman, and Liang Yuqian is a noble woman whose name is Liang.

When she was young, she once had a vague relationship with a monk who had been to the Central Plains, so she knew some simple Central Plains dialect, but it was difficult to use her as a translator.

The dialogue between Taro Murayama, Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy was also not going well, and sometimes Lu Ning was eager to translate it himself.

So, the conversation became very long.

What Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy explained mainly is that they have received an edict from the Holy Emperor of the Central Plains, and the surname given to you by the General Court of Shangfang Sword has been recognized by the Holy Emperor, and from now on, your surname can be passed down from generation to generation, and the position of the city lord will be hereditary from now on.

Before the Liang Yu, it took a long time to tell the meaning of these words to Taro Murayama.

Taro Murayama, or rather, Liu Taro, hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him.

Lu Ning has been paying attention to his expression, and when he saw him lying on the ground, in the gap exposed by the sleeves of his robe, there was joy and hesitation in his eyes, obviously, whether he wanted to really serve Qi people from now on, he had not yet made a decision, or was half-hearted.

Lu Ning now has a final decision on how to govern the northern region of Dongying, and the counties in the north of Xinqi City will be the same as the Central Plains, and the chief officials will be appointed to manage them, but because the counties are generally smaller than the counties in the Central Plains, there is no order, and the chief official is the governor of the county affairs, and the official is the eighth grade.

In this way, it is truly the land of Qi country.

In the south, the hereditary system of the castle lord will be implemented as a buffer between the castle lord and the Toei mainland, but the dozen or so southern prefectures of Mutsu and Dewa will still have to implement the rogue system in the future.

For example, this village Yamataro, if he really joins them, he will make them invade the south in the future, and the troops will support him behind the scenes, and these dozen or so city lords will move them to the newly occupied counties to be city lords, and now, the more developed the south, they will also be happy to get a big city.

The general idea was that the two countries of Dewa and Mutsu would be digested into a real Qi land, with Echigo, Ueno, Shimono, and Hitachi as a buffer zone for the hereditary lords appointed by the Central Plains.

It seems that only six of Japan's 66 countries have changed, but in fact, if you don't count Hokkaido, these six countries are more than a quarter of the total area of Toei, after all, Dewa country, especially Mutsu country, is too large.

However, at present, the Northeast region has not really become Dongying land, and the impact of the changes in the Six Kingdoms on the psychology of the Dongying people in the south may really be the Sixty-Six Kingdoms, which have lost the Six Kingdoms.

Lu Ning pondered while listening to the conversation between Empress Xiao, Yi Lazy and Taro Murayama.

Yi lazy carefully inquired about the so-called harvest of this Murayama Taro's so-called visit to Xishan County, this Murayama Taro was already vague and vague, coupled with the question of Liang Yuqian's translation, Yi Lazy asked a lot of questions but couldn't get the point, and in the end, he could only encourage Murayama Taro a few words, so that he could send more people to investigate.

Waiting for Taro Murayama to retire, Yi Lazy looked at Lu Ning, then at Lu Lihua, and asked, "What do you think?" This Liu Taro, but he is doing his best? ”

Now Lu Ning listened to Yi Lazy and Empress Xiao's Central Plains words, and he already felt very fluent, after all, there were those soldiers who compared with Lu Lihua and Liang Yuqian.

Lu Ning smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if he is not dedicated to his heart, those traitors, we are leading the snake out of the hole." ”

Occupying the temple land, driving out the monks and servants, living in the temple, and a series of actions that will follow, the two female queens will deliberately be arrogant and careless. In addition, there are only ten soldiers who came to suppress the bandits, and the rest are either female soldiers, or local ashigaru, but there are two concubines of the high-ranking officials of the Qi people who were awarded the female emperor of the palace in order to humiliate the emperor of the south.

And if it's just a rabble, and they don't dare to come to such an opportunity, it won't be a big deal, and they will order Taro Murayama for a deadline to crack it.

Judging from the trajectory of the actions of "driving the crowd" to break through Sanshan Castle and almost kill Shibata Daiyu's family and retreat quickly, "driving the crowd" should be the former, not only is it organized, but its leader is not a simple person.

When Lu Ning said this, he suddenly saw Yi staring at him with a lazy face, and he was stunned and stopped.

"Where do your dog's eyes look? It's time to rip it off! "Yi's lazy face sank like water.

Lu Ning was speechless and blinked, "It's me." ”

It is true that he has been looking up at them with his head up, and as a team leader, he is a little unscrupulous and Meng Lang.

"Do you know it's you, you're not, a team leader surnamed Lu?!" Yi lazy reprimanded: "Stand down! ”

Lu Ning was angry and funny, with the intelligence of Empress Xiao and Yi Lazy and their understanding of themselves, it was not difficult for them to guess who they were.

After all, he ordered fifty soldiers to return to Xinqi City, but he only brought a group of soldiers to fill the position, and the order issued by the General Yuan was to climb over the mountains and mountains to suppress the bandits, and his identity as the head of the Lu squad was naturally about to come out.

However, now in the Central Plains, the surname Lu has suddenly increased, so it is not abrupt to use the surname Lu by himself.

And now, this lazy person is obviously resentful of herself, and she can finally vent it openly, she is not very afraid of herself, but she doesn't do anything to her, she can't scold herself for no reason, now, but use the topic to play.

Looking at Empress Xiao, Lu Ning said, "Chengxiang Palace, I still have a few words to say." "There are indeed some things to be said secretly, and I want to tell them both.

Empress Xiao's pretty face also sank, "Ordered you to retreat, didn't you hear?" ”

Probably for the first time, she and Yi Lazy stood on the same front.

It's just that she is obviously holding back a smile, and the smile in her eyes can't be concealed at all.

Lu Ning frowned, but when he saw the side, Lu Lihua looked at him a little unkindly, this guy is definitely a brave general, but he will not be a good commander, and his mind is not clear.

And Liang Yuqian looked at himself a little confused.

Now I wash off my face makeup, but my true face is inappropriate, even if I say that I am the General Academy, it is too shameless.

Yi lazy should know this, so he pretended to be confused.

Yi Lazy's meaningful gaze implied a demonstration, as if to say, I know who you are, but what can you do with me? The so-called Son of Heaven who is admired by all the people, not to mention pretending to be an official, is now pretending to be a pawn, and the humiliation he has suffered is what you brought on yourself.

However, it is difficult to repay the humiliation I have suffered.

Lu Ning was helpless, but by doing this, he lowered his previous vigilance against her a lot, and vented his grievances like this, so secretly, there would be no terrible plans. For example, when she began to volunteer to lead the troops to Shanxi, she wondered if she hoped to give full play to her talent for dominating and do a beautiful job of exterminating the bandits, so as to truly gain the respect and leadership of this women's battalion, and then try to kill herself and die with herself.

But looking at it now, her hatred for herself is not the kind of enemy of life and death.

After all, after being captive for a long time, he has never forced them to do anything, and he often takes them around, afraid that in today's world, no one can treat the captured foreign beauty queen like this.

As for themselves, what kind of mentality she and Queen Xiao have, only they may know.
