Chapter 942: An Island Country with Three Emperors Standing Together
This is exactly "the spring breeze is proud of the emperor's disease, and several flowers are picked in one night!" ”
After the incident, Li Nan hugged the legendary nine-tailed demon fox, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, why could the female official next to the emperor of the island country still maintain a complete body?
Tamamo explained shyly: "Emperor Bird Whisper is in some discomfort. ”
In this way, Li Nan instantly understood that in the face of such a one-in-a-million beauty, the Emperor Toba could ignore it, and that was the only explanation.
In fact, it can't be blamed for the poor health of this Emperor Toba, mainly because the life of the Japanese ministers and nobles is too hard.
The only food they eat now is rice, which is made into white rice, rice balls, rice cakes, and so on. The variety of side dishes is also poor, with only salted fish, pickles, and miso soup.
Even the island country's famous miso soup is not available now, it is a battlefield fast food in Japan's Warring States period hundreds of years later, and only when it comes to the New Year's holiday, the island country will come up with some chestnuts, natto, umeboshi and other "distant tribute" to improve the food, although the name is very good, but in fact it is really not very good.
After listening to what Yuzao said before, Li Nan couldn't help but sigh that being an emperor in this island country really can't eat as much as ordinary farmers in the empire.
While the two were chatting on the couch, Li Nan noticed that there was something different between himself and Tamamo in front of him, calling this Emperor Toba.
Tamamo called him Emperor Toba, and Li Nan still used to call the lord of the island country the emperor, and it turned out that there were three lords of this small island country.
The official lord of the island country is called the Emperor, and after the emperor abdicates the throne, he is called the Emperor Taishang, referred to as the Emperor, which is equivalent to the Emperor of China. The emperor who became a monk was called the Emperor Taishang, or the Emperor for short.
Although the island country is extremely backward today, it is rare for three emperors to stand side by side: Emperor Shirakawa, Emperor Toba, and Emperor Shotoku.
Emperor Toba is currently in power, and his father, Emperor Horikawa, has died, but his surviving grandfather, Emperor Shirakawa, is unwilling to accept the loss of power and has set up a "court office" to expand his power by relying on the samurai class to the north.
At present, many of the orders of the island nation came from the Imperial Palace, known as the "Imperial Palace", and the prestige was even greater than that of the Emperor's decrees, and a situation gradually formed in which the two major political structures of the Imperial Court and the Imperial Court coexisted.
I have to say that the royal struggle of the island country is more complicated than Li Nan imagined, but he is not in the mood to solve family affairs for the lord of the island country, the empire has only one principle, that is, "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish!" ”
After resting in Nagasaki for a few days, Li Nan decided to meet the lord of the island country and Fujiwara Tadashi, who had good relations with the empire.
After the warship docked at Kinai, sixteen horses pulled Li Nan's caravan inlaid with gold and various precious stones on the outside towards Kyoto City, accompanied by 10,000 Imperial Forest Army and 10,000 Imperial Navy soldiers.
In fact, Lady Qing originally planned to send 30,000 imperial naval soldiers to escort His Majesty the Emperor along the way, but Li Nan thought that on an island where 5,000 imperial soldiers could easily destroy, there was no need to be so mobilized.
Li Nan and the girls sat in an RV with excellent shock absorption performance, ignoring the rugged roads of the island country, and they could have planned to enjoy the exotic scenery, but their mood has never improved since the more prosperous Nagasaki.
Today's island nation is not a posterity, and all towns have no drainage ditches inside, and almost all residents everywhere dump their feces and household garbage directly on the roads.
Therefore, the women in the RV hurriedly closed the glass windows to avoid the smell of smoke coming from the ditch where the excrement of people and livestock was piled up on both sides of the road.
In addition, the imaginary natural scenery was not seen, but the corpses were thrown into the bamboo forest, the woods and the wild grass, and some of them were not even dead.
In front of Tamamo, who is next to him at any time, he explained that most of the civilians of the island countries are buried in the open air, and if the corpses are not economically buried, they will be thrown in the nearest open space or bamboo forest.
Some people can't even go to the bamboo forest, so they put it on the door panel and throw it on the side of the road. And not only civilians, according to the customs of the island country, children under the age of seven are not allowed to have funerals, so even children who die early in the families of dignitaries and dignitaries will be left in the barren mountains and mountains.
It is said that even the ministers of the island countries put their bodies in cloth bags and threw them into wooden barrels after the death of their children.
The girls looked at the dry bones on the side of the road, smelling the smell of entering the carriage, and their faces were not very good, and at this time, Li Nan also regretted coming to the island country a little.
Since he had already come out, he couldn't give up halfway, so Li Nan immediately ordered the convoy to speed up, arrive at Kyoto City as soon as possible to meet with the lord of the island country, and then leave this ghost place quickly.
Perhaps the group of warriors exterminated by the Qing Lady did not spread to the four directions; Maybe Li Nan's RV was inlaid with too many gold jewels; Maybe the people of the island country are crazy, and someone dares to attack the convoy.
The RV slowly stopped, and soon Mary, the female fox riding on the warhorse, came to the car with a strange face and reported: "Trees and rocks are blocking the road ahead, it seems that someone is preparing to attack the convoy." ”
"How many enemies are there?" Li Nan asked casually.
Mary estimated, "It shouldn't be more than eight hundred." ”
"Alas!" Hearing this answer, Li Nan couldn't help but sigh.
No more than 800 island nationals dared to attack a convoy escorted by the elite of the 20,000 Imperial Army, Li Nan really wanted to ask the other party, who gave you courage? Could it be a certain singer?
Li Nan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, deal with it as soon as possible, it's not too early this day, we will have to find a clean place to camp later." ”
It only took ten minutes from the opponent rushing out of the forest on both sides of the road to the end of the attack, and the opponent's only long-range weapon was the arrow shot from a bamboo bow more than two meters long.
For Imperial soldiers who are all about to retire from the armament sequence, killing a group of such opponents only requires a few rounds of guns and grenades, and there is no need to use even dragged artillery.
Seeing through the car window the scene of those island warriors who were not even one meter six tall, and everyone holding a bamboo bow more than two meters long to shoot arrows, Li Nan and the others had a strange expression.
After the battle, the imperial soldiers gathered the corpses and equipment of these warriors together and prepared to burn and bury them, and Li Nan ordered someone to bring a bamboo bow and examine it carefully.
After careful study, Li Nan probably understood why the islanders used such a big bow and arrow.
Although bamboo also has good elasticity, it has poor recovery, so few regular armies in history will use bamboo bows, after all, if it is made as short as a horn bow, then the internal fibers will be damaged after a few pulls, and it will not be able to return to its previous state. Therefore, the bamboo bow of the island country is relatively long.
To make a bow, the best choice is to glue together three materials: horn, bamboo, wood, and tendon, and then use birch bark, lacquer, etc. to prevent moisture, which is the horn bow used by all countries in the world.
The animal husbandry industry of the island country is too backward, so this kind of bamboo longbow has been developed, which can be regarded as a helpless move.
