Travel through the world of Hayao Miyazaki anime
Chapter 058
“Crossing, the world of Princess Mononoke.” As soon as the words fell, Stephen immediately felt the world spinning.
It was dark in front of my eyes, and I didn’t feel anything after that, but before I fainted, a thought flashed in my mind.
“If that’s the case, is it a success or a failure?”
In the northernmost part of Honshu Island, there is a castle founded by the Ezo people, and the name of the castle is Tata Castle.
Because there are relatively few local stones, the surrounding large area of primeval forest is rich in forest resources, and the so-called castle is also built of wood.
Instead of stone walls, in fact, there is no need to specifically use stone to build the city wall, because it is all mountainous, there are no plains, and the castle is built in the mountains with complex terrain, which can also be described as a copycat with certain protective ability.
If it is not in the plain, those cars that hit the city gate or something, they are not used here.
The background of the world of Princess Mononoke is very similar to the real world, in the Warring States period of the island country, and at the same time there is also the Ming Kingdom of the Celestial Empire.
However, the difference is that although the history of this world is very similar to the history of previous lives, the world of Princess Mononoke should have gods and demons.
For example, in the original plot, various talking monsters appeared in the forest and used various strange abilities.
Ezo people are the indigenous people of the island country, that is, the earliest species that appeared in the island country, Ezo people have a characteristic, most of the Ezo human hair is more, such as beards, and chest hair is also very much, leg hair and hand hair and the like, there are still more.
That’s the vast majority, not all Ezo people are like this.
The Ezo people were originally the aborigines of the island country, and the entire island country belonged to them, but they are now a minority group in the island country.
The reason for this has to start more than 2,000 years ago, after the Celestial Empire Qin State unified the entire Celestial Empire, the King of the Qin State sent a certain Taoist priest to the sea to find the legendary Immortal Mountain on the sea in order to obtain the elixir of life.
The Taoist priest himself is very clear about a few pounds and taels, all of his so-called legends and elixirs are all made up, even he has never seen it, he knows how she can’t find the elixir, instead of being unable to complete the task and being killed by the angry king of the Qin Kingdom, it is better to directly take the benefits, run away in the future and never come back, become a heavenly high emperor far away Xiaoyao king.
Therefore, this Taoist priest asked the king of the Qin State for various things, such as 3,000 children, boys and girls, as well as all kinds of grain seeds and various craftsmen, the king of the Qin State, at this time, should think why the legendary immortals need these things.
All these things that the Taoist priests seek are the necessary foundation for the development of a civilized society.
The king of the Qin State is definitely not a fool, a fool can never achieve hegemony, but he was teased by this Taoist, in the final analysis, it is because he wants to live forever too much, ordinary people are not reliable methods at a glance, the King of the Qin State has the mentality of giving it a try, and wants to try it.
Even many times the reason for success is to hit the needs of the deceived.
The king of the Jingguo has the supreme power in the world, and he wants to always want to be prosperous and rich, forever, otherwise if he dies, he will not have everything he gets on earth, and Stephen thinks the same.
After coming to the island country with 3,000 boys and girls, as well as craftsmen from various industries, he crushed the Ezo people who were still gathering and hunting at that time with absolute civilization advantages.
The agricultural technology of the Celestial Empire greatly increased grain production, so that the Taoist priests as outsiders developed very rapidly in terms of population, and over time, the population crushed the local Ezo people.
After that, in order to expand and increase the territory, these 3,000 boys and girls began to expand to other parts of the island country, and the original Ezo people inevitably clashed.
Relying on the iron-smelting technology brought by the Celestial Empire, these people from the Celestial Empire crushed the Ezo people who used wooden and stone weapons with absolute superiority in force.
In the end, the Ezo people were driven from the westernmost part of the island country to the easternmost part of the island country, because they were separated by the sea, so they did not continue to escape.
The Ezo people’s shipbuilding skills are not enough, and when the weather is clear, they can see that there is also a large island on the other side of the sea, across the strait, and they call it Hokkaido, and if there is no way, they will still abandon here, risk building bamboo rafts, and enter the north
After these people who defeated the Ezo people conquered the vast land, they established a country called Yamato.
The failure of the Ezo people is not unreasonable, after receiving such a tragic lesson, they still did not make up their minds, learned the advanced technology of the Celestial Empire, and still guard their ancient living habits.
The insistence on gathering and hunting has prevented the Ezo and other populations from developing further.
The Ezo people believe that cultivating the land is disrespectful to nature, because if the land is cultivated for a long time, the nutrients of the land will be lost, making it more and more difficult to cultivate, which is not the point.
Although it is true that the people of Yamato Kingdom are higher in population than the Ezo people, if their weather is abnormal in a certain year, resulting in a poor harvest, it will lead to widespread starvation of people who depend on farming for their livelihood.
From childhood to adulthood, they only farm every day, so that they lose the skill of gathering and hunting, and after the land is not harvested, they do not even have the ability to basically survive.
Or as the population continues to increase, less and less land can be allocated for cultivation, which, in the view of the Ezo people, is the consequence of excessive interference with the god of nature.
Because of widespread hunger, the stable society that had been built collapsed, and the original managers were likely to be overturned.
This is a very scary and incredible thing in the eyes of the Ezo people, who have always been managed by the tribal system, and they all live by gathering and hunting, their population will not be overly inflated, and because the tribal system is simpler, the population in a tribe is so large, and it is very convenient to manage, and there will be no tribal chiefs who do things unfairly.
After all, there are such people in the tribe, who does not know whom, if the tribal chief messes around and does something wrong quickly, the whole tribe will know.
If the chief does something wrong, the members of the tribe can elect a new chief.
In a way, the Ezo people’s way of life is indeed very good for individuals.
If you let people choose, whether to live a relatively free life such as gathering and hunting, or to live a life of guarding a piece of land and farming every day, most people will choose to gather and hunt and run outside every day, which is much more interesting than farming every day.
The difference between a kingdom and a small tribe is really like the difference between a group of pigs, ducks, chickens and geese that have been bred by people, and wild animals.
After chickens, ducks, pigs and geese are kept in captivity, they can crush absolutely any kind of wild animal in numbers, but their fate is very tragic, and they are all eaten.
Although the number of wild animals is small, they have the freedom not to be kept in cages.
Of course, it is not that the Ezo people have not made progress at all, although they do not agree with the operation model of the people of Yamato Country, but the Ezo people still admire the technology of the people of the Great River Country.
The Ezo people also learned from the people of Yamato Country how to refine steel, and their arrows, originally polished and made of stone, are now all made of iron, and when hunting wild beasts, the lethality and penetration are stronger.
However, in the extreme north of the island where they now live, there is no iron ore at all, which makes it impossible for them to arm themselves with iron tools on a large scale, which is the most regrettable thing.
On this day, the sky was blue, and white clouds floated in the blue sky under the breeze.
The earth is also lush and full of green that represents life.
In this green, there is a tower city built of wooden structure, and above the tower of the city wall, there is a middle-aged uncle dressed in animal skin, with a beard and ballast, holding a spear in his hand, standing guard.
The location of their Tata City is very remote, in a deep mountain and old forest, on an open meadow, to get to this place, you need to cross a large river and a large valley, it is difficult for ordinary people to find here.
But they still need to stand guard and can’t let their guard down, in this world, sometimes the danger is not humans, and some animals that have become monsters can also cause great harm to humans.
Suddenly, in the dense jungle in the distance, a rustling sound sounded, and the middle-aged man widened his eyes, took out a wooden bow and arrow from behind him, and stared vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.
Soon, a handsome-looking young man riding an antelope horse rushed out from the dense jungle.
This young man was wearing a linen robe, but he also had the skin of an unknown beast around his waist, and he should obviously be an Ezo man, but his face was clean and did not have a slight beard, which was very different from ordinary Ezo people.
After the middle-aged man on the tower saw this young man, he breathed a sigh of relief, put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and then waved his hand to greet: “Asuka, why did you go out so early this time?” Already hunted so soon? ”
The young man smiled slightly, reached out and took out a leather bag from his back, and before he approached the castle, he threw the leather bag in his hand towards the middle-aged man on the tower after a distance of thirty or forty meters.
And the accurate hit, it can be imagined that although this young man does not look so strong, his strength is unusually large.
The middle-aged man reached out and took the thrown leather bag, opened the mouth of the leather bag, and inside a pheasant with colorful tail feathers lay dying in the leather bag.
“Ouch, it seems that today is a blessing.” The middle-aged man smiled.
In the tribe, the men go out to hunt, the women pick wild fruits or stay in the tribe to do various household chores, hunting often requires everyone to cooperate together to hunt some large beasts, so all those involved in the hunt after the hunt, if they get the prey, everyone must return to the tribe equally.
The middle-aged man shouted to another person guarding the gate of the castle: “Hurry up and open the door, the bird is back.” ”
The thick wooden gates were pulled up cheaply, and the construction was really large and very thick, and it was built by several pieces of wood superimposed on top of each other.
If you want to pull the city gate, you usually need at least six adults, one left and one right, to work together.
Not long after the young man named Asuka entered the castle, in the dense jungle behind him, a huge howl of a wild boar came.
The bird’s face changed suddenly, and he pulled the reins in his hand, causing the antelope to stop, and then quickly dismounted and ran towards the top of the city gate. _
