Chapter 123: Superiority

?
The ghost cut that Duan Yu often hangs around his waist is an Izumo-shaped samurai sword, which is obvious.
But to be able to see that this is a famous blade, it's a test of eyesight.
However, even if the uncle stung, it would be the most to this point.
If you don't really take over, you won't find it terrible.
Although the master uncle stared eagerly at the ghost cutting on Duan Yu’s waist, Duan Yu didn’t mean to show him to appreciate it. Instead, he asked:
Where is the master swordsmith of Izumo? How many?"
"This... I have inquired about the news before. There is a Wuyun Zen master in Jiegang. The sword forged is a masterpiece. In addition, there is also an enshrinement in the Heike family, who is said to be a master swordsmith... "
When Uncle Sting mentioned this, he was a little excited.
Duan Yu only shook his head after hearing this.
Well, Zen Master Wuyun has met once, just a mortal, although the knife forged is not bad, but the best is at the same level as the Baihong and Shark in Qin Feiyu's hands.
"There is also the master Musashi Izumori among the capitals, and he has learned from the legendary sword ghost, and his casting skills are as magical!"
The sword ghost is not a human being, but a kind of spirit in the legend, who likes to pin on the sword and sword, and over time, he is proficient in the forging secrets of various schools.
"Musashi Izumori, sword ghost... Kyoto?"
When Duan Yu heard this, he became interested.
Izumori Musashi may be nothing, but the sword ghost said that Duan Yu thought of a real sword-making master in Izumo country, known as Qi Dao Zhai, and a powerful casual practitioner.
Izumo worships all unnatural forces and likes to be far-fetched.
According to legend, Qi Daozhai accepted the sword ghost as his disciple, and later expelled the sword ghost from his teacher.
In fact, the sword ghost is not a spirit, but a person! It's just that after learning the practice and casting method with Qi Daozhai, the road goes further and further.
In other words, he fell into the magical way, and even his master Qi Daozhai couldn't control him.
This person was named Shashengfang, and Duan Yu knew about this because the Donghai Sanxiu who wielded a demon knife and ghost went west and defeated many masters in the mainland is Shashengfang!
Naturally, there is no more bones left in the Shashengfang at this time, but if there is still an apprentice, maybe it can make the ghost look back?
...
A few days later, a team of two hundred people slowly left Jiegang.
The Gongsun Chamber of Commerce has a total manpower of about 500 this time. The two hundred people recruited are all elite, one by one wearing leather armor, holding swords, sturdy back and dashing.
On the side of the township road, those farmers who saw this scene respectfully stepped aside the road and lay down on the side of the road, thinking that it was a certain lord who was traveling.
And when passing through some walled cities, the defenders are also on the verge of an enemy, repeatedly guarding them, just like frightened birds.
Although many of the cities here, in Qin Feiyu's view, are of the level of a cottage on the mainland...
Duan Yu watched this scene, but he was very interested: "Although these city walls are not strong enough, they are quite good in site selection. They are either in the main road of transportation or built on the mountain. It should be the proof of the authority of the lord of the locality. ?"
This principle is the same as the construction of castles by feudal lords in the Middle Ages.
In barbaric times or in troubled times, without this, it is impossible to deter the entire jurisdiction and protect its own safety.
"Exactly!"
Gongsun Xiaobai did not ride in Izumo’s sedan chair, which was the box carried by two porters. Instead, he rode a white horse and came to Duan Yu’s side:
It’s just that these feudal lords are different in size and strength. Some of the walls are exquisite and vast, but some are not so...good-looking."
"Speaking of the feudal lord, this place is the domain of the Nagano family, and the Nagano family has always been a local rich family, with 20,000 stones!"
The stone here refers to the annual output of one mu of land, which can be regarded as 20,000 mu of land.
"Twenty thousand mu?" Qin Feiyu nodded, automatically converted into a lord of a township, the rank of a local tyrant in the county.
"Flying fish, don't underestimate it. This is the treatment of a township. Within the territory, all the people, the law, the military, and taxes... are basically determined by the lord!" Duan Yu added. : "And if you don't encounter great chaos, it is difficult to increase or decrease... For example, how many generations have passed down the Nagano family?"
Gongsun Xiaobai was surprised: "Unexpectedly, Brother Duan knows this well. This Nagano family rumored that the ancestor was a son of the Ping clan. He once had military exploits and received five thousand stones here. This is the beginning of the family fortune, and later ups and downs. It has been more than 150 years..."
"This is the benefit of the enfeoffment system. At least the family business will last for a long time. Although it is not good for the monarchy, it is great for the nobles!"
In Dongchen or Qing Dynasty, a large household covering 10,000 acres of land, after a hundred years, is simply deeply ingrained, and it will become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the monarch. Will the officials of the county sit back and watch the country in this country?
However, the monarchs of Izumo in the past did not have much strength, and they were used to being bullied, but they were quite constitutional.
"So that's it..."
Qin Feiyu heard it, seemingly understandable, and a little envious: "This...it seems not bad too! It's just why the princes among them don't take over from the lord, or why doesn't the lord gather power?"
"Well..." Duan Yu smiled and lowered his voice: "Naturally, it is a legacy of history. The royal family has no straight collar and can only rely on its strength. Any loyal minister will become a powerful minister... and why not simply regents Instead? Even if the Heike family has only two counties, unless you want to be an enemy of the lord of the entire island, you can only maintain the original state, and behind the royal family, it is not without support!"
Daomen has ten veins, and the East China Sea has three.
And Izumo Island is the largest island in the East China Sea. If there is no trace of Daomai intervention, how can it be possible?
"It is said that Tokaidomon has an agreement with Izumo Ryuki to keep his bloodline inexhaustible, and he will be the monarch of the past dynasties!"
Duan Yu casually told a secret, and immediately saw Gongsun Xiaobai's wide-open eyes: "Brother Duan! What you said...is it true?"
"I have some friendship with Baihao Mountain!" Duan Yu smiled in his heart when he saw him like this: "These secrets are obtained from the Baihao Mountain Dao Zang, I don't know the true or false!"
"This……"
Gongsun Xiaobai immediately struggled.
He was in the ordnance business with Pingshi, so naturally he supported the Lord Regent.
According to some clues, the Ping family superintendent is also an ambitious generation, and is preparing to crusade another powerful lord.
Now that he knows that the Izumo royal family has such a strong support, how can he not be frightened?
Gongsun Xiaobai believed in Duan Yu's explanation.
After all, Duan Yu has a close relationship with Baihao Mountain. It is the news that he has inquired about. Although the Baiyun Chamber of Commerce is low-key, it does not mean that no one can find out its heels.
If this is the case, it is almost certain that there is at least one Daomen behind Izumo King!
And the relationship between the regent and the Izumo royal family, is there any more to say?
Is this time to go to Beijing to persuade the regent to stop fighting? Then who did his grandson's arms sell to?
Duan Yu looked at Gongsun Xiaobai's tangled face, with a slight smile at the bottom of his eyes.
This information was naturally revealed deliberately by him. Without making the water of Izumo country a little more muddy, how could it attract more people into the game?
At this time Izumo, the Ping clan is not chaotic, it will be difficult to mess up! To disturb the situation, you have to start with that regent!
As for the monarch? You should have already contacted the Fujiwara Clan, right? This is the mortal enemy of the Ping clan. Originally there were two counties, but later they were defeated and cut off by one county. Their patrons, vassals and samurai... all thought of being shameless! This time Heishi bought ordnance, also for the purpose of rectifying the weapons, and beating Fujiwara...
In the previous life, this beat should have been successful, otherwise King Izumo would not wait more than ten years before turning back.
At that time, not only was the situation in the country surging, but also because the Ping clan’s house superintendent had been replaced by a new person, the navy suffered heavy losses in the Luoding Island incident, which further reduced its prestige.
In the previous life, Izumo country had to negotiate with the pirates led by Hara Rokuro. There are also reasons why the domestic situation is urgent.
But now? Duan Yu is here, naturally everything is different.
"There are also these civilians, all of them yellow and thin, just like refugees, but they seem to be respectful..."
Qin Feiyu rode by and looked at the peasant and peasant woman who was kneeling next to him. He nodded and whispered: "With this kind of living conditions, if you are in Qing, I'm afraid it's not because of the smoke and the flags."
"Haha... these Izumo people are indeed very gentle and patient, but don't look at them as behaving like rabbits. In fact, rabbits bite people in a hurry and are more ruthless than anyone!"
Duan Yu laughed, and at the same time reminded this little brother: "Don't look at them being respectful to us now. That's because we are well-dressed, have horses and swords, and have many people. If one day, you will be alone. If you pass by, you must be careful, you must know that in the countryside, they have always had the tradition of hunting and killing the samurai who fled alone, and there is also a name called the wild hunt!"
In fact, no matter which world or place it is, there is resistance when there is oppression.
And the poorer they are, the easier it is for UU reading www.uukanshu.com to lose their bottom line and act unscrupulously, because they have nothing to lose.
After Qin Feiyu heard this, he couldn't help being silent, as if thinking of the years when they were young and the rise of the Koi Gang.
"Izumo country, enfeoffment system...hehe..."
As Duan Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter as he kept going all the way and continuously observing this country.
Before, in his mind, a slightly vague conjecture related to the seal cutter and the world was gradually being completed.
Soon, after trekking hard for more than half a month, Izumo's Kyoto is finally in sight!
"Is that Kyoto?"
Qin Feiyu rode his horse and ran up a small hill, staring at a city within his sight.
It's not because of how magnificent the city is, but because in this era, as the capital of Gyeonggi, there are no walls! ! !
