In the early days, Japan was a matriarchal society, and women were the masters of the house, but later it was strongly impacted by Chinese culture and entered civilization from a primitive society, but for a long time, this situation of women's power has not changed.

It is recorded in the biography of the Wa people in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms that at that time, the women of the Yamatai Kingdom had the right to choose their husbands, and they also had the right to name their children, which shows that the social status of the women of the Wa Kingdom at that time was actually still very high.

Rightoka has read a lot of books, but she doesn't specifically read these boring things, because she doesn't need conclusions from books to prove how high the status of Japanese women is.

Almost a hundred years before Wu Zetian ascended the throne and became a female emperor, there was a female emperor in Japan, and she was Emperor Tuigu.

Even now, the status of women has gradually become lower, especially aristocratic women, although they are more glamorous and noble than commoner women, but they are not as dignified as commoner women.

Although aristocratic women have no worries about food and clothing, they lack independence and can only become accessories and victims of family politics, but commoner women can gain social recognition through their own efforts.

When the men go out to fight, the women take care of the family, because young people are the future of the country and the most important resource, and the women who take care of the children have their own value.

Not only that, but they also make all kinds of pastries and food, gather materials to make small crafts and souvenirs, tinker, bandage the wounds of the soldiers, and even kill the enemy like the men when necessary!

Even Honda Tadakatsu, who was unequaled in the Warring States period, once said that Japanese women are not inferior to men on the battlefield, and some men will cry when they see bloodshed, but women are more calm.

The common women of Japan are tenacious and unyielding, like weeds under a stone, living hard, growing desperately, and not letting go of any hope.

However, aristocratic women are tainted with habits such as laziness and vanity, although they have no worries about food and clothing, except for marrying a family with interests, they have no effect, even if they read more books and know how many talents they have, they are only serving the nobility, and their value can only be reflected in this aspect.

If you live in the afterlife, she should know a proverb, economic independence is the beginning of personality independence, but it is a pity that she was born at the wrong time.

But she did not give up the belief in the pursuit of freedom and independence, from the first time she saw Zuo Di, she found that this man has something that Japanese men do not have, that is, the soul of freedom!

It was an almost intuitive feeling, as if even if heaven and earth were cages, they could not imprison this man.

She is not a feminist powerhouse like Emperor Tuigu, but she longs for freedom, this freedom should not be bound by the family or the country, she is her, she doesn't want to be bound by anything, even if it is Zuo Di, she can't stop her steps, this is freedom.

So she can give up everything, get out, change her name willfully, go wherever she wants, and do what she wants instead of having to do.

Of course, she also understands that any harvest in this world needs to pay a corresponding price, and freedom is the most precious thing, and the price is naturally the greatest.

But for the sake of freedom, she is willing to do this, and she has the courage to do this, her weak appearance is just her disguise, her mind, more eternal than the statue in the shrine!

Whether it is Shenlu Palace or Ise Jingu, there are very few people who can see the head of the Great Sect, the Heavenly Gong General Zhang Jiao, but she is one of them.

Facing Zhang Jiao, she didn't feel flustered, but Zhou Yu beside Zhang Jiao always made her feel flustered, as if there was no secret that could escape this man's eyes.

Fortunately, this time she didn't want to meet Zhang Jiao or Zhou Yu, she only needed to seek the help of her former companions as she was shipwrecked overseas, so as to get close to these people and get some information, that's all.

This kind of thing is still very easy to do for Youli, after all, these companions know her identity, Tokugawa Ieyasu is now the real power controller of Japan, as his adopted daughter, Youli's status is naturally different.

Of course, Youli has always wanted to get rid of such an identity, but in order to remain free for a long time, she has to use her most despisable identity to achieve such a goal, which is also a bit ridiculous and funny to say, but in the end it needs to be done.

She and Zuo Di didn't have many ideals, there was only one thing they wanted to do, and she remembered what Zuo Di had said to her.

Life is very long, full of unknown variables, maybe the ideals that you once swore will change in a blink of an eye, but the life is very short, so short that sometimes you may not be able to finish by concentrating on only one thing.

She thought so.

It's only natural that you spend a lifetime on something that is worth everything you do, and it's not hard to muster up courage, but it's just the most basic thing.

She could trust Zuo Di, and Zuo Di could also trust her, so he didn't worry about leaving right at all, he knew that this woman would definitely be able to complete the task.

So he calmed down and did his thing.

It was a great challenge for him to transform a mansion, which was also an uncomplicated official mansion, into a mechanical magic circle with many mechanisms, with the ability to defend and counterattack like a military fortress, but it had to be completed in a short period of time.

The difference between a circle and a fortress is that a fortress is armored from the inside out, while the circle is more ethereal, looks more ordinary, and its damage may be invisible, it may be insignificant, but it is enough to achieve amazing results.

To put it simply, it is to bring all the dead things back to life, and this is also the hardest part.

He was patiently polishing something, as if he had poured his life's work and skill into it, but it was so ordinary that people couldn't see any effect at all.

It was the brass ring on the door, which was already a bit old, but Zuo Di kept polishing it with papyrus, all he wanted was to make the house look vibrant.

Because only by opening the door often can the door knocker be so smooth and soft, and the house that opens the door often means that there are many guests, so it will naturally be lively.

It was such a detail that let Li Mi know what kind of character Zuo Di was.

He is not a great illusionist who can perform miracles with the flick of his sleeves, but an extreme craftsman, and behind any seemingly miraculous means is a painstakingly intricate detail.

In addition, Zuo Di is also responsible for the overall deployment of nearly 200 craftsmen, he assigned detailed tasks to each craftsman, everyone's progress, he kept in mind, what is even more admirable is that he does not have any design drawings, all the ideas and details, are only in his mind, no one knows what use these things are before they play a role.

He is like an immortal on the zenith, casually scattering patches of chaotic clouds, and when the time comes, with a wave of his sleeves, the clouds will gather in one place in a mysterious way, grow wildly, and brew into an earth-shattering storm!

However, Li Mi was a little embarrassed at this time, because everyone had something to do, but he was the only one who stood by and watched.

So he found Zuo Di and asked him, "What can I do?" ”

Li Mi knew very well that to do one thing, especially a big thing, there can only be one decision-maker, which is the wisest strategy, so he is willing to obey Zuo Di's dispatch.

Zuo Di was concentrating on polishing the knocker, he didn't raise his head, but smiled a little sarcastically: "I thought you wouldn't ask......"

Li Mi also shook his head and smiled bitterly, not wanting to joke with him, Zuo Di continued: "There's nothing for you to do, you go and sweep the tomb." ”

"Tomb sweeping?"

This makes Li Mi a little confused, what tomb to sweep in this good manner, Li Mi does not have a more familiar person in North Korea, and everyone he knows is alive, the martyrs who died during the war, the bones were brought back to the Ming Dynasty, what tomb to sweep in North Korea?

Li Mi pondered for a long time, and finally asked Zuo Di, "Whose tomb am I going to sweep?" ”

Zuo Di raised his head at this time and said to Li Mi: "My magic circle is a magic circle for killing, and it is to build a murderous fortress with both offense and defense, and it needs to use millions of Yin soldiers, if you don't go to sweep the tomb, where can you borrow Yin soldiers?" ”

Li Mi was slightly stunned, and he couldn't tell whether Zuo Di was serious or joking, but it could be seen that his eyes showed that Li Mi finally understood.

He finally knew whose grave he was going to sweep.

Being able to borrow a million Yin soldiers is naturally the tomb of a general, and at this time in North Korea, there is only one person who can be called a general, that is, even in later generations, the people of the Korean Peninsula are admired like gods, and can be called the three major heroes of national salvation in the history of North Korea!

It's just that borrowing Yin soldiers is too mysterious, and Li Mi doesn't believe it at all, not because he doesn't believe in the Yin soldiers, but because he doesn't believe that Zuo Di really asked him to borrow Yin soldiers.

"Just check it out." Zuo Di didn't explain much, buried his head and began to polish again, Li Mi didn't ask much, walked out of the door, and found the guards left by Guanghaijun.

This guard was sent by Gwanghaejun to Li Mi, who knew the Ming language, and heard Li Mi say that he was going to worship Li Sunsin, and he was also in awe, Li Mi glanced at him, and always felt that the excitement and excitement of this guard came a little inexplicably.

This is also Li Mi's professional habit, observing such a subtle change in expression, Li Mi also silently remembered it in his heart.

Yi Sunsin's tomb is located in Geumju County, Gyeonggi Left Province, not far from Seoul, but while it was not dark, Yi Mi still set off.

When Li Mi and others entered North Korea, it was impossible for Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu not to know, and secretly they didn't know how many people were eyeing Li Mi, but Li Mi did not take any of the black prison brothers with him.

Because this Thirty-Nine Ghost Soldier Pill that everyone feared stayed by Zuo Di's side, it could attract the attention of Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu even more, and no one knew that Li Mi went to sweep the tomb.

At first, Li Mi was suspicious, thinking that Zuo Di wanted to let him divert Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu's attention, lest they sabotage Zuo Di's progress, but after thinking about it, it was unlikely, because if Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu were targeting him, they would inevitably kill the killer, and how could Zuo Di let himself die for no reason?

So Li Mi chose to keep a low profile, and as for the guard, Li Mi didn't even let him prepare incense, let alone let him report it, so he set off without saying anything.

"Dare to ask for your name?" Although he is just a guard, Li Mi is very polite to him, this is also Li Mi's way of dealing with the world, for people who are high, Li Mi has to put up a shelf, but for these people at the grassroots level, Li Mi can put down his body.

The guard was also a little frightened, and said to Li Mi, "I'...... My name is Lee Jae-chu......"

Li Mi didn't expect that this guard would have such a meaningful name, thinking of his appropriate reaction, so he asked tentatively.

"You won't be a descendant of Zhongwu Gong, will you?"

After Yi Sunsin's death, he was posthumously presented with the title of Zhongwu, and Li Mizun was also full of respect for Zhongwu Gong, but Li Zaichu fell into silence and shook his head after a long time.

Li Mi looked at his reaction, and was a little disappointed, but he didn't think much about it, and the two rode fast horses and went to the northwest of Seoul.
