It's still Toranosuke and Gakujiro who came back from the game to wake up Naoxiu.,What's there to sigh.,The road has to go step by step.,Rice has to be eaten in one bite.,Although the gap is like the difference between heaven and earth now.,As long as you stick to it.,There will always be progress.、There will be gains.,Just sitting and dreaming about a fart is useful.。

It's been more than a month since I left Edo, and I have two main purposes for my westward journey, the first task is to get books, and then to see the scenery of various places and get close to the future figures, and now that the first task has been completed, the pressure on my body has dissipated a lot.

Naoxiu has always had a deep worry that the trajectory of this time and space may be different from the original world. After several years of observation, the trend of the two worlds is still very similar, but it is also possible that my observation sample is too small and I don't know much about the past, so I haven't noticed the difference.

In addition, according to the perspective of time and space, whether the current world will forcibly "correct" itself as a variable or develop into another branch is a big question of life and death. Now it seems that he usually doesn't often fall flat or choke on water, so the possibility of developing to another branch is still quite high, which adds a lot of confidence to Naoxiu. Of course, there are only ox carts now, and there are very few of them, so Naohide is not too sure about this conclusion.

The next day, Naohide packed his luggage and took the students to visit Matsumae Taro to say goodbye officially, and successively sent two thank-you gifts, one to thank Matsumae for his care, and the other to entrust Matsumae to bring to the office of Koishi Ken, and please tell Koishi that "there is a temporary change, and Karajinya can only wait for the opportunity to visit again in the future." After that, Naohide set out on the road to Saga.

The road from Saga to Nagasaki was well repaired, basically smooth, and the clothes of the peasants encountered on the road were quite neat, and it seems that Naomasa Nabeshima, the head of the Saga Nabeshima family, had been quite effective in reorganizing the feudal administration.

On the afternoon of the third day, Naohide and his entourage rushed to the medical hall in Hachimankoji Saga, the domain office.

The medical hall building is unexpectedly beautiful. At present, the buildings of Fuso are still mainly wooden structures, with grass roofs or board roofs, wooden fences, and wooden gates. But the medical hall in front of me is actually a stone wall and a tile roof, and the building is also very tall and wide, which is a standard "earthen collection", and the fly in the ointment is that the courtyard is very small, and the gate is a few steps away from the house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I met the teacher Ito Xuanpu, I laughed out loud, and the three of them laughed inexplicably. Mr. Xuan Pu laughed enough before he said, "Why are the three of you dressed up like this?" ”

Naohide took a look.,It's no problem with this dress.,For convenience.,Toranosuke、Gakujiro are all in one "Yunshui" (travel uniform), straw sandals, small knives, and a furoshiki wrap (Furoshiki is a traditional furoshiki skin in Fuso), and he is a forehead (a hat that resembles a helmet), a sash (a belt with long sleeves for a kimono), a lock undergarment (a shirt is a shirt, and a lock undergarment is a set of outer tops), hakama (culottes), a chain hand mail (a finger leaky glove), a shin towel (similar to a knee pad but more open, covering the calf), straw sandals, a wooden back box, a small knife, Walking stick. Suddenly, Naohide reacted, and it turned out that all three of them were wearing leggings.

Now, leggings are basically invisible in Fusang, and Fusang people are generally bare-legged now, and bare-legged leggings are too spicy to the eyes. But don't say no, the Chinese walk long distances with leggings, while the poor people in Fuso wrap their leggings around the thighs in winter to keep out the cold. As for the long road to wear leggings, it needs to be imported from the West after the Restoration.

China has had the habit of wearing leggings since ancient times, and the image of Shennong's in the early Yandi period was that the calves were tied with leggings and simple leather shoes were worn.

The military leggings first appeared in Europe in the 18th century, and were very popular in the legions of the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte at that time. Napoleon once said: "Gaiters are a very necessary equipment to prevent mud and small stones from entering the inferior shoes made by our "patriotic" Francis tailors, and to relieve the soreness of the soldiers' legs." Therefore, Fuso later called the "curl footfoot" (leggings) also "French leggings".

The principle of leggings is simple: squeeze the blood in the veins of the legs to promote blood return. However, there is a trick when tying, that is, the part near the ankle should be tied tighter, and then it should not be tied so tightly. Later, everyone didn't need leggings, because the popularity of vehicles did not require long roads, and because leggings were not conducive to fast movement.

Naohide laughed when he saw Mr. Genpo, who had always been serious, and judged that he was having a good time after returning to Saga, and he was also showing closeness to himself.

"Sir, what happy event is it so happy about?"

"There is a Lan Xueliao under the Saga Medical Museum, so I took the lead in organizing a group of scholars to translate Lan books and study Lan Xue, and the group of talents has been complete, and there has been great progress recently."

Listening to this, because there are too many slots, Naoxiu doesn't know how to spit it out.

Last year, because of the arrest of Takashima Akiho, the Saga clan was also greatly implicated. As the head of the feudal administration, Nabeshima Shigeyoshi was forced to resign because of his close relationship with Takashima Akiho and the Lankoku Merchant House, and several samurai of the Nabeshima family were also forced to apologize or be dismissed from their posts and live in idleness.

Compared with Takashima Akiho's "accumulation of private soldiers, plotting against him", and "participating in the smuggling of the Languo Merchant House", Nabeshima Shigeyoshi is even better, and if the shogunate is really wise, it should catch Nabeshima Shigeyoshi.

In the 7th year of Fumikyu (1824), because of dissatisfaction with the arrogance and lasciviousness of the head of the family at that time, Nabeshima Sainao, and the tyranny of the domain, the reformists led by Nabeshima Shigeyoshi in the Saga Domain staged a coup d'état and arrested the presiding officers of the feudal government appointed by Sainao, Arida Gonomitsu and Nafu Juemon, which is known as the 7th year of the Saga Fumihisa Change. After negotiations, Sainao was forced to agree to appoint the head of the radical reformist faction, the lord of Takeo Nabeshima Shigeyoshi, as the head of the domain, and appoint Nabeshima Naomasa, the first generation of the Saga Domain, as the son.

The Takeo domain is located near Nagasaki. In the second year of Tenpo (1831), while visiting the warships of Rankoku in the port of Nagasaki, Shigeyoshi ordered 500 flintlock guns (flintlock guns) for the Takeo Domain, which at that time forbade the princes to buy weapons without permission, let alone from foreigners, which was a proper violation of the law. At the same time, Maoyi also hired Lan soldiers to teach Takeo how to use flintlock pistols, and at that time, just two years after the Siebold incident, the librarians of the Lan State Commercial Museum were strictly ordered not to leave the island at will.

There was a training joke during the period. Because the ashigaru people couldn't understand the Lan language password, the Lan instructor switched to the Fusang language password, he was not familiar with the Fuso language, but his personality was more stubborn and he had to issue orders by himself, and he made a lot of jokes. For example, the order to "raise a gun" was said by the instructor as "barrel, second class". The instructor, who lived on the second floor of Takeo Castle, heard the locals say "二階へ二階へ" when they went up to the second floor, and thought that "上" and "二楼" were the same word in Fuso, so the password changed to "shoot at the second floor." But at that time, it was training on an open flat ground, and there was no second floor nearby, and the soldiers usually talked about him by the name of "Mr. Second Floor", if he followed his order, he asked the soldiers to fire at him, because his broken Fusang language often made jokes, so the soldiers immediately reacted that the old gentleman had spoken the wrong Fusang language again, and immediately burst into laughter.

Of course, the instructor was gradually able to complete simple daily conversations, and finally trained Fuso's first Western-style musket unit.

Then there is the slot of Takashima Akiho. Siebold was famous that year, but Siebold had a conflict with the then director of the Lan Kokushokan, Takashima Akiho was Nagasaki's deputy as Nagasaki's town year, and he chose to support the director of the Kokushokan, so he escaped in the Siebold incident. But he didn't expect that in the end, he was arrested and imprisoned by the conservatives of the shogunate because he spread the Lanxue military system, "I missed Qingqing's life by exhausting the organs".

At the same time, Takashima Akiho's artillery production and use was under the tutelage of the Languo Shokan, but the Western military formation was learned from the Takeo leader of Nabeshima Shigeyoshi, so Takashima-ryu artillery skills originated from Takeo-ryu, Nabeshima Shigeyoshi renamed Takeo-ryu "Weiyuan-ryu" after Takashima Akiho was arrested in an attempt to dissociate himself from Takashima, but the shogunate ordered him to be reprimanded because he was "very close" with Takashima, and he didn't understand the shogunate's thinking at all - the shogunate doesn't look at what you do, only which side you are on, and the two sides are not on the same channel.

As for his teacher Ito Genpo, when he heard the call of the feudal lord Naomasa Nabeshima, he happily ran back to his hometown and took people to study Rangaku, but he didn't expect that next year Naomasa would set up an independent "fire magic party" (responsible for researching and imitating the Western military industry), and most of the original Lan Xueliao's funds would be allocated to the "fire magic party", and your old man would return to Edo in two years to continue to open a medical center.

Naoxiu didn't dare to say or ask, and said in his heart, "This is my own teacher, just help if you have the opportunity." After chatting with the teacher for a while, and presenting a suppose (gift), Naohide took the students to the teacher's house to rest.

At this time, because the disciples are taught one-on-one, the relationship between the teacher and the student is very close, and the price of betraying the teacher is unimaginable.

In ancient times, the Seto Inland Sea was an inland sea formed by the inflow of seawater, and Saga was formed by the receding of the sea. Many areas of the Saga Plains still have island-related place names such as Oshima, Hirajima, and Aikeijima. The fertile Saga Plain was formed by the alluvial accumulation of soil and sand brought by the rivers, and the remnants of many well-developed irrigation channels and naturally formed reservoirs, as well as a number of artificial development projects.

But fertile is fertile, but the Saga domain was as poor as many feudal clans in the late Edo period.
