Chapter 390: Hizen Country

Zhen Qian heard Fujiwara Shuxiong say that the Wa State divided the whole country into its own land according to the thirteen provinces of the Tang Dynasty and became the seven provinces of Wugi.

"Goki" refers to the five reignats in the Gyeonggi region, also known as "Kinai" or "Goginai", specifically referring to Yamashiro, Yamato, Hanoi, Izumi, and Settsu.

"Seven Roads" refers to the whole land of the Wa Kingdom outside Gyeonggi, imitating the Tang system, all called "Dao", a total of seven provinces: Tokaido, Dongshan Road, Hokuriku Province, Sanyang Province, Mountain**, Nanhai Province, and Sekaido.

Saikaido is the island of Kyushu in later generations, and it is divided into more than a dozen small countries, and the size of the area can only be equivalent to the county of the Tang Dynasty.

Xikaido does belong to the wild land similar to the south of the Tang Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom, and the local Wa people are very fierce, even after more than a thousand years, the Wa people from Kyushu Island are the most fierce group of people.

My luck is really good.,I actually went to Kyushu Island in the later generations.,It's not far from the main island of Wakoku.,I'd like to ask Fujiwara Brush Male what else to worry about when he arrives in Wakoku.。

"Any news of other ships?"

Witui lit an oil lamp, Zhen Qian stood up and shook it, and found that there was a "gaba gaba" sound on his body, and then he touched his cheek and found that it hurt terribly, as if it had been swollen up, it should have been smashed by a fish in the waves yesterday, it was a shame to say it!

"The men who can be sent out are searching along the coast, and I heard that two ships have been found, but no concrete news has come back? Maybe it's not going to be good? ”

As soon as Zhen Qian opened his mouth and was about to sigh, he immediately felt that his entire cheeks hurt, and he took a breath of cool air and said, "It seems that this time there is a heavy loss!" ”

Zhen Qian was reluctant to leave the broken ship, but after seeing the reef that suddenly appeared in the cabin, he decisively gave up his naΓ―ve idea, the ship was basically scrapped, fortunately, there was a structure like a watertight cabin, otherwise it would have sunk into the sea, even so, while he was sleeping, the cargo on the ship had been moved to the shore, so it did not sink.

The situation is indeed not very optimistic, when I saw Ke Ming, I found that his old face was even darker, like a dead father, and there was no anger in his tone: "Plus our ship has a total of four boats, except for two of which were pushed to the beach by the wind and waves, the rest of the ships were all destroyed, our ship damaged four watertight cabins, the problem is not big, but there is no way to repair it here, I'm afraid it can't be saved?" ”

When his legs stepped on the beach, Zhen Qian felt dizzy instead, this is a normal reaction after the boat has been sitting for a long time, and it will be fine after a day or two of rest, no wonder he does not dare to send people to explore the hinterland of the mainland now.

Fujiwara Shuxiong sat on a rock, his appearance was not as chic as before, his eyes looked into the distance a little dullly, and when he saw Zhen Qian coming over, he just bared his white teeth and smiled bitterly: "We are now in the Wa Kingdom, but the situation is a little bad, I'll tell you later, now hurry up and send someone to search for the survivors, and then you can only find the corpse?" ”

Ke Ming quietly told himself just now that none of the four ships on which the Tang envoy was on found traces on the seashore and may have been buried at the bottom of the sea, so the current Fujiwara Shuxiong is very depressed.

Zhen Qian wanted to say words of condolences to Fujiwara Shuxiong, but he couldn't say anything when he came to his lips, the mortality rate of Tang envoys in history was as high as seventy percent, and Zhen Qian saw it with his own eyes.

Those maritime stewards sat on the beach and cried, and the people who listened were in tears, Zhen Qian couldn't wait to go up and kick a few feet, the things were gone, and the people were lucky to be alive, what was there to cry about.

The loss of goods is still being counted, and there is no need to think about it, there must be heavy losses.

Porcelain is originally fragile, this storm is too violent, I don't know how much is left if it is not broken, as for those silks or something, soaked in the sea, it is good to be sold as ordinary cloth, and the situation of spices is similar, no wonder those maritime stewards even have the heart to die.

I didn't bring much goods this time, although I also lost some, but Zhen Qian didn't pay attention to it, two war horses were killed by the guards with broken legs, and some cracked wine jars were happily divided by the guards, and drinking some spirits at this time is the best way to warm up the body.

Wang Tianxing has already found a dry place to set up a tent, after the storm, the seafood on the beach is piled up, Pilates also found a whale the size of a small house on the beach, looking at the whale like Roshan does not know how to start.

It seems that no one cares about the that the big fish is dead and the princes are dying, the maritime merchant broke open the whale's belly, and found a large mass of black and foul-smelling things the size of a human head in the whale's digestive tract, and the frustration on his face immediately became smiling. After discovering it, these maritime stewards even had the intention of killing people and overselling goods.

The appearance of dragon birthday incense is ugly, and it was mainly used as a fixative for perfume in history, but it was replaced by chemical synthetics in later generations, and its value is equivalent to gold.

Ambergris is actually a sperm whale secretion, because it fails to digest the beak bones of squid and octopus, and will form a solid bond with the secretions in the intestine before spitting out. Ambergris is black and soft, with a bad smell, but it hardens, fades and exudes aroma after being washed by sunlight, air and sea water for many years, making it the most precious Chinese medicine and extremely rare.

Looking at those smiling maritime stewards, Fujiwara Shuxiong did not have a trace of excitement on his face, and sighed: "Our current situation is a little bad, if I don't miscalculate, this should be the Hizen country of Saikaido, the Japanese people here are very ruthless, never obey the education of the royal family, and like to fight fiercely, so even our people are unwilling to contact them, this is a bit like your Datang Lingnan area is wild and untamable, in addition to liking to kill, but also sometimes cannibalism, we have to leave here as soon as possible?" ”

"Hizen Country!"

Zhen Qian seems to have a little impression, but it is not a good impression, the Japanese people in the area of Feiqian in history are indeed fierce and difficult to train, in the Ming Dynasty, they became the vanguard of the Japanese to harass the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, in modern times, when they invaded China, the Japanese people in Feiqian committed heinous crimes, I didn't expect to be met by Zhen Qian in the Tang Dynasty, what a coincidence!

Zhen Qian took a sip of the spirits, feeling much warmer all over his body, the sea water poured on his body in late March was also uncomfortable, but there seemed to be something burning all over his body, "Fujiwara-kun is worried that the Japanese people in front of the fat will take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong's face was a little unbearable, and he said to him: "The Japanese people here don't know what etiquette is at all, and if they find out, they will definitely gather people to rob them, so I didn't send someone to go deep into Hizen Province to inquire, it's better to be careful!" ”
