The training of all soldiers in winter is not so easy to practice, and the first challenge is the cold.

Let's start with shoes. At this time, Fuso's shoes only had clogs and straw sandals, and some people sewed cloth on straw sandals, as for boots and cloth shoes, what are they? Haven't seen it.

So what about in the winter? Leaning on the foot bag. Foot bags are the socks of Fuso, which were first made of leather, and after the Sengoku Momoyama period, kapok was widely cultivated, and foot bags began to be sewn with cotton cloth, so they became popular.

The Fuso Islands are surrounded by the sea and are affected by warm currents, so you can always carry them through the winter, but what about the northeastern part of Honshu Island and the mountainous areas? One is to rely on cat winter, a large number of farmers run to a relatively warm place to work in winter, and the other is to rely on grass, stuffing hay into straw sandals or foot bags, and usually do not go out in winter, but can also deal with it.

The shogunate's "Decree of Mercy for the Living" and the folk vegetarian habit led to the scarcity of leather, which was also the reason why leather boots did not develop. As for cloth boots, there are thick foot bags and cloth boots.

As for winter clothes, there are two magic weapons that are in vogue now - half-day and thick shin towels. Half a day is a Fusang padded jacket, the thick shin scarf is similar to a crotchless half-cut pants, and it is quite warm to the legs, if there are no two, then wear a few more clothes.

Gloves were without gloves, civilians folded their arms and put their hands in their sleeves, and the samurai were much better, with hand armor - hand armor was originally part of the armor, similar to gloves, and the hand guards worked very well.

Special scarves are also rare, but some smart people put long towels around their necks to pull the wind and keep warm, and they must praise one.

As for the hats, everyone has long hair, except for the monks. Ladies are better, long hair drooping can be wrapped in a headscarf or something, men have a bun on their heads, what do you say about hats? Dig a hole to pull the hair out, which is unsightly, so unless you bring a hat, you will shave the moon to blow the cold wind, and the bald head will meet the north wind, and the taste will be particularly sour. Civilian men also learn how to wear a headscarf when they don't wear a hat in winter, but in order to maintain their manners, the samurai rarely carry a hat in winter, so they just do it - do you think I am beautiful? I think you're stupid.

But Naohide and the others were very comfortable in the winter in the white lord - because he detained all the armaments that were supposed to be dedicated to the shogunate's reform of the military system on the rice boat.

The armament consisted of 300 breech-loading rifles, 300 Sharps 1848, 60 Colt Patterson revolvers, and some military uniforms, leather boots, tents and other armaments.

Gakujiro thought about it very carefully, the military uniforms were divided into summer clothes and winter clothes, and even the pants, vests, and shirts were all set together, but the most complete was twenty sets of officer clothes, and even coats, sweaters, underpants, and woolen pants were matched.

What traditions, worthless in the face of the cold. Everyone had long since thrown aside all the clothes they had brought, changed into the winter clothes of Western officers, riding boots, trousers, and coats, and were spiritedly ruthless, but the only problem was that the soldiers' cotton hats could not be brought - the samurai bun was too much of a hindrance, not as intimate as the Fuso hat.

Except for Mr. Miyama, Naohide's gang are all from Edo, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and they have never seen what a real cold winter looks like, and Naohide is really afraid that everyone will freeze their ears - not to mention that people's ears are thin, and there are many capillaries, so they are extremely prone to frostbite.

usually didn't have a chance, taking advantage of the training, Naoxiu took the lead in cutting a short hair with a manual hair clipper - the hair clipper was also in the military quartermaster, forcing everyone to follow suit, but everyone would rather die.

Toranosuke followed Naohide to stay abroad, and he had no resistance to short hair, he threatened his subordinates, "Fangu can't send troops in winter without cutting hair, don't you want to do it?" After the group cut their hair, relying on the large number of people, they shaved the heads of the rest of the people, and then everyone put on cotton hats - but there were quite a lot of people crying behind their backs, and the parents of the body hair and skin were affected by the body, and this was the atmosphere at this time.

But short hair does have benefits, not to mention hygiene, it is easy to wash hair, and it comes with a cotton cap

After that, everyone's range of activities increased significantly, and after a few deer came back for a barbecue, the matter was over.

Naoxiu is the white lord who arrives in the first half of the month, and there is still a period of time before the New Year of the calendar, during this time, everyone listens, learns, trains, and hunts in the surrounding areas by the way, and the freshness of going to the north has not passed, so everyone lives quite happily.

Before you know it, it's Christmas of that year. The others didn't feel it, but Toranosuke took people to cut down a few pine trees, and arranged a few wooden houses to be lively, and I heard that Yueiya took the means to make a red leaf pot of venison during the foreign festival, and everyone gathered around to drink, drink and dance, and the atmosphere was quite enthusiastic.

At the beginning of the institute, with the connivance of Zhixiu, the rules were not strict, and everyone didn't feel that there were any constraints, so they all looked elated.

"Silence!" Naohide was talking to Okubo about the next year's fishing plans, and Toranosuke suddenly shouted loudly, and Izo quickly stood up to get the iron cannon on the side shelf.

Naoxiu listened intently, the dogs outside barked again and again, and he hurriedly waved everyone back to the house to prepare.

There were fights with the people and the Ainu from time to time, and everyone had a plan for this. After a while, Toranosuke returned with someone and shouted, "Caught a spy!" ”

Naoxiu tells everyone to be on guard, it's not a good thing to be raided at night. Fortunately, the wooden houses are now all wooden windows that can be put down, so they are not afraid of being peeked at from the outside, so the torches in the house are not extinguished, and everyone is not particularly nervous.

As soon as the door opened, Fengxue also came in, and Naoxiu couldn't help but shudder.

The two young men of the Fan Group happily set up a ball-shaped person to enter, the fire was gray, and Naohide only saw a person covered in snow being kicked by a kick, but this person fell to the ground and was silent.

Mr. Miyama slowly approached, squatted down and pulled it out, indicating that the person had fainted, and the two young men said that it was none of my business, and when they caught it, Mr. Miyama frowned, and asked Yuei to quickly bring hot soup, which was frozen and faint.

That's it? It doesn't look like an Ainu raiding at night.

"First the dogs barked, and then the dogs swarmed up, and the guy was caught without even struggling." The two young men guarding outside tonight were originally disappointed because they didn't attend the banquet, but they didn't expect to catch a spy and were very happy.

Unlike the people of the time, Naoxiu's group did not suffer from night blindness - everyone had a good life, they ate less meat, but they did not eat less fish and tofu, even Mr. Miyama, although he was wanted by the shogunate and hid in Tibet, but as a famous doctor, he usually eats very well, and the old man is in good health.

A knife was found from this spy, no other weapons, and Zhixiu also carefully examined this person's face, dirty, and couldn't see clearly at night, and he vaguely looked like a human. But this dress is not like a human, and he is wrapped in a skin of an unknown animal, a deer skin or a bear skin, and the hair is almost worn out, so I can't tell the difference. On his feet is a pair of broken straw sandals, two pieces of leather are hastily wrapped outside, a straw rope is tied around his waist, his hair is not Yuedai, his hands are frozen and cracked, and his body is frozen and stiff, what is the origin of this person?

Toranosuke also came back at this time, he led people to patrol outside, the dogs didn't bark, he didn't dare to go far, and he didn't know if there were any accomplices of this person outside.

The first priority is to wake this man up quickly. Mr. Sanshan had good medical skills, dragged the man to the edge of the fire, wiped his hands, feet, head and face with hot water, poured a few mouthfuls of hot soup, and finally rescued him.

This man was very hard, and when he woke up, he got up without saying a word, and sat honestly on his knees.

"Who broke into the White Lord's place at night?" of the Tiger

Suke's fan group showed his face today, and he was very proud.

"Place? Isn't this the land of the old men of the money house? The man subconsciously asked rhetorically in Japanese.

"Now this place is a heavenly territory, and it is under the management of the Lord." When the people on the side heard this, they immediately kicked him.

"Heavenly Collar?" This person seemed to be frozen stupid and muttered to himself for a long time, and suddenly he began to cry, which startled Naoxiu.

Now is not the time to cry, Naohide continued to ask him what he was doing, a group of people.

This man was full of dialects, sobbing and finally making his words clear, it turned out that this person was an Ainu, and this time a person came to ask for help.

The dog outside had stopped barking for a long time, and Naoxiu told everyone to be vigilant and listen to this guy patiently. During this period, this person also said that he was hungry and could he give him something to eat first, but Naoxiu only gave him a bowl of hot soup, and then talked about something else.

Maybe it's to have a hot meal as soon as possible, this person speaks quickly like a bamboo tube, and I don't know where the dialect is, Naohide patiently asked a few times, consistent with each other, and made sure that this person didn't seem to be lying, and slowly figured out what was going on.

This Ainu's name is Datou - the hair and beard are quite long, but Naohide can't see where the head is big. Under the place please system, the samurai of the Matsumae family usually do not come to the white master, and the daily management is the merchant of the money house, and the money house is established to carry the upper house, which is responsible for fishing and purchasing furs.

The Ainu tribe where the big head is located is nearby, with only a dozen households and dozens of people, and they usually rely on money house merchants to help catch fish and do fish, and rely on helpers in exchange for food.

And the big head is a mixed race with people and Ainu, and he looks similar to people, he is smarter, he worked hard to learn Japanese, and became a dog-legged "little envoy". But Cheng also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, he looked like a human, and usually treated him favorably with people, but in the winter the merchant left, and after he returned to the tribe, he was oppressed by the leader and the shaman.

Naohide asked him why he didn't stay in the White Lord, and when he first arrived at the White Lord, Naohide saw that there were Ainu servants among the merchant guards who stayed behind.

The big head said that the old man drove away all the Ainu in the winter, and the servants left behind could not bring their families, and he still had his wife and children in the tribe, so he had to return to the tribe in the winter. - Actually, the big man lied, and the guards who stayed behind did want to drive away the Ainu in winter, because few people were afraid of the Ainu rebellion, but the servants did not bring their families because the people often insulted the Ainu women, and he did not want to be wronged.

It is customary for the eldest family to be bullied in winter - the Ainu people have no way to take the peace people, and they usually have to work for the people and exchange daily necessities, but when they are bullied, they scatter the fire on the heads of the big family.

Originally, it would not have been too much, but this year's fishing and hunting harvest of the tribe was not good, and the leader took the lead in robbing the big head. The food income of the helpers is uniformly handed over to the tribe, but the big head as a dog-legged "little envoy", can keep some privately, this time the leader listened to the words of the sacrifice, only robbed the big one, and the other Ainu people who helped the people refused to come forward, and the big head family suddenly had no food and clothing, so he secretly ran out for help.

Outsiders can't believe all the words they say, and it's easy to be pitted with no bones. Besides, the people in the money house were all driven away, and there was no one to face at this time.

Zhixiu asked Yurong to give the big head a meal, and he was indeed hungry when he watched the big head gobble up, but what if this product is usually a pot-bellied man? Well, you have to be on guard.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. In addition to the dormitory, warehouse, and workshop, there is also a small black house prison, and the big head is thrown into the small black room after eating, and Naohide is afraid that he will freeze to death and gives him a bedding.

As for how to rescue the eldest family and whether to send troops, these will have to wait until dawn.
