Chapter 213: Shu is still that Shu land
Maybe that's life.
When you live in the midst of fire and water, you will think that as long as you can live, you will be satisfied.
When you live in a peaceful and prosperous world, you will think that as long as you can eat a meal of wine and meat once a month, you will be satisfied.
If you are not satisfied, if you don't know how big the world is, how many people are struggling on the brink of life and death. Then you'll never be happy.
On the other hand, if you know how to be content, you will be able to live happily and contently. No matter what kind of difficulties you face, you can handle them calmly, because they are all small things.
The ancients said that there is no great thing other than life and death. In fact, even life and death are just trivial things.
This is Li Xuan'er's understanding of life, so she wants to learn boxing. What she wants to go to Xishu to find is not how strong martial arts are, but an attitude, an attitude to do more meaningful things in her lifetime.
The destination of their trip was Chengdu, Shudi.
Chengdu was the capital of Shu when the Nine Kingdoms competed for hegemony. Now there is no Shu Kingdom, but what makes everyone in the world strange is that it is the current supreme ruler of Shuzhou, not the king of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the former Western Shu royal family who governs this place.
Do the math. In addition to the national name, Xishu can no longer be called the king and the emperor. In addition, in fact, Shu is still the Shu country. Nothing has changed, the royal family is still those people, but the supreme ruler is not the king, but the Marquis of Shu.
Shu Kingdom, become Shuzhou.
Emperor Shu became the Marquis of Shu.
The ministers are still the same as before, they have their own set of teams, and the Great Song Dynasty doesn't care.
In addition to the lack of military power, the two major financial powers are all in the hands of the Marquis of Shuzhou.
And Chengdu, the capital of Shu back then, is still the seat of Shuzhou.
Chengdu is also the center of Shuzhou.
The post of governor of Bashu Province is nominally to control the finances of Bashu and Shu, but in fact, only the finances of Bashu are really under control.
But it doesn't mean that Shuzhou is a place of transformation.
In fact, there is a special reason why Shuzhou has such privileges.
From five or six hundred years ago, the Great Song Dynasty and Shu were countries with very good relations. No matter what kind of war with other countries and what the chaos of the world becomes, Song and Shu are brotherly states that depend on each other.
Later, the Great Song Dynasty gradually became stronger, and when it was not strong enough to be the first in the world, the king of Shu at that time did not know which tendon in his head was right, and he actually took the lead in calling the Great Song Dynasty.
Later, the Great Song Dynasty gradually became stronger and annexed various countries one by one. The kings who died only scratched a little taste, and the kid from Shu had expected it. dedicated himself to the Great Song Dynasty early, this first-class kung fu is really first-class.
So later, when Emperor Jian'an stepped on the world and annexed and eliminated one country after another, he never made a move against Xishu. Later, Xishu officially surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty and took the initiative to present the jade seal.
And the Great Song Dynasty benevolently told Xishu with his actions that your Shu country is still that Shu country, and you still take care of yourself. As long as the national character of Shu is removed and changed to Shuzhou.
So the original was restored, and the royal family and people of Shu became the people of the Great Song Dynasty happily, and they became the people of Shuzhou in the Great Song Dynasty in peace and stability.
The people of Shu are still living their emotional and happy lives.
When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, you still have to come to the land of abundance.
The ups and downs of the Chengdu Plain have never been used to polish people, but only to nourish people.
The teenager is not in Chengdu, this is the truth. 163TXT
When I came, I didn't want to work hard, I was immersed in the gentle township, and I forgot everything.
Li Xuan'er walked along the way, watching the beautiful scenery while walking, although the two thousand miles of road is not close, but the Great Song Road is smooth, plus Li Xuan'er takes a carriage, and the other guards are at least, so they can walk dozens of miles every day, and they can be reached in more than a month at most.
Therefore, along the way, Li Xuan'er was not in a hurry, and he had to go in and have a look at every city he passed.
After all, it's the first time I've gone out, so I'm curious.
No matter how good and prosperous Bianjing City is boasted by others, it is only Bianjing City. Although other cities are not as prosperous as Bianjing, they always have their own charm and scenery.
On this day, Li Xuan'er and her entourage arrived in Ankang City.
This city guarded the fortress leading from Shu to the Central Plains, so Ankang City was a very important strategic location for the Great Song Dynasty. The city here is high and wide, and it is heavily guarded.
The soldiers here are the Southern Army.
The Southern Army and the Northern Army, these are the two sharpest of the three swords of the Son of Heaven.
Everyone was proud to be able to enter the Northern Army, and everyone was proud to come out of the Southern Army.
In terms of combat power, the Southern Army was not weaker than the Northern Army. It's just that the commander of the Southern Army, because he has been controlled by a family for a long time, this family is deliberately suppressed by the saint in order to avoid suspicion.
As a result, the reputation of the Southern Army, in the eyes of the common people and other countries, is not on the same level as the Northern Army.
But in fact, Li Rongsheng, commander of the Northern Army, and several deputy generals knew very well in their hearts that the Southern Army was just deliberately keeping a low profile.
In addition, the north is the place where the Great Song Dynasty and the Liang State and the Wei State are at the junction of the Western Liang and Western Regions, so the Northern Army has fought with them many times, so these countries have been in direct contact with the Northern Army, and have not fought with the Southern Army, so they tremble when they mention the Northern Army, and when they mention the Southern Army, they will only say that the family power is intertwined and feeds the children of the executives and nobles.
The Son of Heaven once personally told the commander of the Southern Army.
Our Northern Army of the Great Song Dynasty is too famous and can be regarded as a live target. The Northern Army has to be studied a hundred times a day by friends.
So we also need a southern army like this, which is not too famous, but it is definitely not weak. If, I mean what if, if one day, the Northern Army is thoroughly studied by friendly countries.
Then let's pull the Southern Army out, and we can still beat them to the ground, crying and crying for their mother.
A sword in the open and a sword in the dark.
Therefore, the commanders of the Southern Army have always been very low-key, and even the soldiers with the Southern Army are also very low-key.
But this low-key is only relative.
The murderous aura on the soldiers could not be concealed.
Li Xuan'er and his entourage walked on the street, and several soldiers patrolling the street walked over. That momentum made Li Xuan'er can't help but give way to the side. Li Xuan'er remembered that this kind of murderous momentum had also been seen in Brother Lotte.
That was the time when Brother Lotte kicked Jiang Tian, the eldest son of the Cao Gang, on the ground in front of everyone in the Cao Gang.
Brother Lotte said, "I will take revenge on you." After saying this, Brother Lotte took her hand and walked towards Jiang Tian's mansion.
Brother Lotte is also this kind of momentum.
It seems that no matter what kind of iron wall is in front of him, Brother Lotte will also hit it shoulder to shoulder and smash everything that stands in the way.
Nothing can stop me!
Yes, that's how it feels.
