A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Seeing Kitahata University acting like he had trusted his beloved by mistake, Koheita smiled and said to him: "I am responsible for everything, and I will not let you commit seppuku."

Hokahata University is just like that, just be happy and die. "I have nothing to do with you young people." After saying that, he angrily left with his subordinates without even looking back.

As for why Hokahata University is angry, it’s because rice had a special meaning in Japan’s Warring States Period. In addition to paying annual tribute and collecting land rent, rice must be needed (this is the case in most cases). Rice is a kind of food that is better than gold in a certain sense. The general equivalent of silver.

In other words, how much rice can be used to measure a human life and a head. The soldiers hang their heads on their belts and work hard in exchange for eating your rice.

Therefore, generally speaking, at the beginning of a war, soldiers must be provided with rice as a reward for the people who go into battle. If they cannot eat rice, their motivation to work hard will be greatly reduced. Although it will not cause a mutiny, they will definitely have to bear the consequences if they lose the battle. pot. It is indeed too much to work hard without giving you a good meal, but this is the Warring States Period, and it will be good if I, Xiao Ping, can ensure that you have enough to eat every day.

So the next day, Xiao Pingtai led a mighty and chaotic crowd of more than 2,000 people and headed south, leaving only 200 people and dozens of pack horses and a few guards led by Tongxin, who agreed to take him with him the next day. A certain amount of salt and wheat went south.

Based on last year's memory, Xiao Pingtai only walked less than thirty miles before stopping at the first village on the roadside. She borrowed the courtyard of a local farmer's house in the village, built a fence outside, arranged a bonfire, and set up a relatively small village. The important salt was piled in the warehouse of the Tuitou family, and other grains were placed on the ground with wooden boards, covered with raincloths, and the first military station was set up.

That's right, the yard and warehouse of the Tuitou family were requisitioned for free. You have dedicated your people to the Lord to fight the war, so occupying your land is not a big deal, right?

If you still dare to have an opinion? It's wartime, you know? Wartime! It's time for war! Everything must be subject to war, and those who disobey will be humanely destroyed. Now you understand. We are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and we will not do anything unbenevolent and righteous, hehehehe.

In this way, existing buildings and warehouses are used as much as possible along the way. Ordinary villages are originally distributed along rivers or roads, and the local families along the lines can make use of them. If they really didn't have any, they would use bamboo poles and straw mats to build long sheds. Then they set up fences and set up campfires, set up guard soldiers, and arranged the transfer team. Ensure the continuity of military depots.

Then the distance between the military stations was shortened along the way, and the manpower and management were kept at each station, so that everyone in a team of twenty or thirty people could move from one station to the next. Change the original loose team transport mode to the team rotation transfer mode. More manpower will be provided at the military depots further back to increase the frequency of transfers.

After five days of driving, they arrived at Tenryu River in Toyota County, Enshu. Isshiki Palace and more than 3,000 of Ejiri's pioneers had arrived in advance, and the two main armies of the Yamauchi Army had joined together. (I’m not telling you that. It took me more than five days and six days to walk for more than 100 kilometers, and a total of 4,000 people were gathered. It was not much better than a turtle speed. I refer to the marching speed of the Changjing Rangers in Shanxian County. Of course, Changjing in Shanxian County There are only 5,000 people. How can we march more than 100 kilometers in a day and night? We are really the most powerful army in the world.)

The Imagawa side mobilized an army of 16,000 men to confront the Yamauchi side's 8,000 men (if we include the jinfu and loaders who were transported along the way, the Yamauchi family also had 10,000 people. Proportionately speaking, we know that the enemy on the other side What kind of stuff is Imagawa?) Xiaoping glanced at the Imagawa Army on the other side from afar, and thought to himself, you have brought six to seven thousand warriors and handymen with you. These people are not good at fighting, and you are not afraid of defeating yourself. The actual combat strength is eight thousand. That’s pretty good. (Of course, the actual number of troops participating in the battle in the mountain is only 5,000 and zero. We, Ah Da, do not laugh at Ah Er)

Xiao Pingtai looked at the soldiers who were eating wheat and bean rice that was not only coarse but also very bland. They were cursing each other, but fortunately, Xiao Pingtai did not skimp on the quantity. Everyone was full and full, and nothing happened.

Uncle Tsunaliang asked him why there was no rice shipped to the house. Could it be that last year's rice had been exhausted? Xiao Pingtai said he would arrive soon.

I met with Yoshiharu Yamauchi in the shogunate, and he also asked why rice and other food were not brought. Although the soldiers were full, they were unhappy without rice. Xiaoheita said he would arrive soon, guaranteed the supply, and spent money to buy it elsewhere, which satisfied Yamauchi Yoshiharu.

Xiao Pingtai thought to himself, if the war is about to start, do you still care about whether my rice arrives? Now that there is no war, you still have leisure time and time to think about whether the rice is coming or not. Wait until the fight starts, ha! Life is the first priority, and eating enough is the second priority. Who cares about what you eat?

Koheita left Aji in the care of Tsunaliang for the time being, and told him to squat in the corner or stay behind the line when he had nothing to do. When holding a horse sign, you get mixed up behind other people holding a horse sign. If you can, be cowardly. Also, the food is owned by the public, so you don’t have to save it for him, so you can eat it as much as you want.

Then Xiao Pingtai rode a horse along the street, patrolling the entire transportation line back and forth. He saw that the co-workers were very serious about transshipping according to his arrangements, and the load-carrying teams along the way were transshipping without any gaps. Shuigu people also patrol the roads from time to time. The entire transportation line is running very well.

Rushing back to Fuzhong City, Xiao Pingtai allowed a little more rice and salt and started making fried rice. It was agreed that the warehouse in Fuchu City would start shipping miso every three days, pickles every three days, a small amount of wine every three days, dried fruit sugar, etc. after that. When the rice purchased from outside begins to arrive slowly after the 15th, all grains will be replaced with rice for shipment.

After giving the instructions, Koheita rode his horse back to Ejiri and began to mobilize hundreds of loaders and warriors in Ejiri to deliver salt and dry seafood to the front line in batches. Don’t worry about abalone and scallops. The main ones are seaweed, kelp, and dried shrimps. These have a natural salty taste. Added to the miso soup, it can be regarded as a snack for the boss. No other famous name has such good treatment.

At the same time, fishermen in the Hamana area were organized to replenish fish products in the offshore. Japan is close to the sea. There are many fish along the coast, although this is not the Hokkaido fishery that is ranked as a world-class fishery. But you can still catch a lot of fish and shrimp to supply the army. Anyway, since ancient times, soldiers have been all big-bellied men, and these fish, shrimps and crabs are not enough to fill their bellies.

At the same time, Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who withstood the Imagawa clan's attack, started the day's dinner with a severe headache.

The first update is at nine o'clock. There are more than 1,000 recommendations this week, and the next Tuesday will be the eighth update with more than 20,000 words.
