Chapter 1812: The Enthusiastic Nambatsu People

In this year, sharks are infested, and the fleet sails on the surface of the sea, followed by schools of sharks waiting to feed, chopping up large pieces of fish meat and throwing them into the sea, where you can see the sharks swarming through the clear water, competing to devour them.

The cluster of arrows is made into an exaggerated barbed harpoon, with a rope tied to the tail, and it is fired with the ship's bed crossbow, and it can be shot casually towards the place where the sharks gather in the sea, and then the rope is twisted with a winch, and no matter how much the shark struggles, it cannot get rid of the harpoon that shoots inside, and finally it is captured on the deck from exhaustion, waiting for the fate of being disemboweled.

The rest of the sharks were not frightened and fled, chasing the blood of their own kind, trying to feast on the flesh and blood of their own kind, but they were shot one by one.

Soon, the surface of the sea was filled with scarlet shark blood......

The deck was littered with caught sharks, blood flowing and smelly.

The soldiers carried short blades, neatly cut off the shark fins, and then disemboweled, the liver was retained, and the rest of the internal organs were thrown away, and then the fish meat was cut into thin strips.

Shark liver is the raw material for refining cod liver oil, which has been a standard food for soldiers since the day the Royal Marines were founded. These soldiers have been training, sailing, and fighting at sea for many years, and attention must be paid to supplementing their nutrition, otherwise the number of troops will be seriously reduced.

Fortunately, the naval division has won successive battles in the past two years, and its influence has spread to every corner of the ocean, and it can be said that it is the most "generous" one among the arms of the Tang Dynasty......

The status of the sailor is very high among the people, almost all the men of the Tang Dynasty are proud to be able to become a sailor soldier, and the sailor's food, clothing, weaponry, and equipment are all the envy and yearning for the existence, so the cod liver oil that the sailor must eat every day has attracted the common people and even the family to flock to it.

The refining of cod liver oil is very simple, the shark liver is chopped and steamed directly on the steamer, and then the cloudy oil-water mixture is left to stand for a period of time, and the top clarified oil is cod liver oil.

This even opened up an open-source project for the sailor, although cod liver oil is good, but it can't be eaten, Fang Jun ordered people to hire dozens of You Fanglang who walked the streets and alleys in Jiangnan, vigorously advocating the benefits of cod liver oil, which can treat night blindness, help the elderly supplement calcium, improve osteoporosis, and accelerate the development of children's bones and teeth...... Anyway, it was blown to the sky and the earth, and then set up shops in major towns in the south of the Yangtze River and sold them at high prices.

It's just that the scale of shark hunting by the sailors is limited, and they can't do a lot of refining, and the lofty goals of improving the quality of the whole people cannot be achieved, so they can only be sold as luxury goods at a high price, and all the money obtained is used as military salaries, and the sailors do not keep a single penny.

The salary is improved, the nutrition is sufficient, the training is diligent, the ordnance is good, and the morale is high......

The best virtuous circle has been formed within the water division, and the combat power has been improved again and again.

Although the cavalry, infantry and other branches of the army are envious and jealous, but the conditions of the naval division itself are special and not replicable.

For overseas states, the royal sailor is an invincible existence, and the great results in the South Seas have long been intimidating, and even rendered by the people as an invincible and invincible division, so when the sailor arrived at Nambatsu along Honshu Island in a circle, there were actually civilian slaves from the Japanese country on the shore bowing to the sailor ship from afar......

The Japanese are inferior and cruel, but they advocate the strong, which can be seen from this.

At the wharf of Nambatsu, there were still soldiers left by Wang Hence to answer, and the fleet docked, and Fang Jun and the soldiers disembarked, and they were taken to Tennoji not far from here.

It is said that this temple was built by Prince Shotoku, who believed in Buddhism and led his faithful minion Soga Mako to fight with the conservative Monobe Moriya, and once made a grand wish to the four heavenly kings of the Buddha's heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, as long as the battle was won, he would build a temple and build a golden body for the four heavenly kings, and later, with the help of the Soga family, the Monobe clan was destroyed, and Buddhism was able to become popular throughout the country, and Prince Shotoku also kept his promise to build this temple......

Tennoji Temple was built on a hill called Arazu, not far from Nambatsu, and the terrain is not high, and the surrounding trees are lined with trees and streams, and the scenery is very beautiful. The central gate, pagoda, golden hall, and lecture hall of Tennoji Temple are arranged in a straight line in a north-south direction, and this Garan layout imitates the Chinese architectural style of the time, which makes Fang Jun feel quite intimate.

Unlike the world's temples that have escaped from the dust, Tennoji has more symbolic and political significance. At the beginning of its establishment, there were four institutes, including the "Keitain", a dojo for teaching and practicing the Dharma, the "Medicine Center" for administering porridge and medicine to the sick, the "Healing Center" for the sick, and the "Kitain" for the elderly and the weak.

Looking at the temple that was still flourishing even if it was stationed by the Tang army, Fang Jun was very dissatisfied, not to mention that the safety of this person was not guaranteed, and the air surrounded by incense was not good, so he immediately ordered the expulsion of all the monks in the temple, and each of them sent a few steamed buns to them to find another job, and then closed the temple and acted as a temporary official office.

As for the civilian slaves who gathered on the wharf at the foot of the mountain to protest later, Fang Jun waved his hand, and the Tang army used sticks to disperse them......

At first, Tang Jun was a little apprehensive about this, after all, this is the territory of other people's widows, so it is not troublesome to be so arrogant and domineering, if it arouses public resentment?

In the face of the Tang Army, who was brutal and arrogant by force, the Japanese people lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes more obediently than rabbits, and the dead people did not even say a word in the pit, and then took out the rice, meat and vegetables at home and sold them to the Tang Army to make money.

Even Fang Jun sighed, looking at the enthusiastic Namba Tsu people, he couldn't help but think of the legendary army in his previous life......

The 4th Division, one of the oldest divisions in the Japanese army, was made up of vegetable vendors and merchants from Osaka.

According to the establishment, the Fourth Division is a well-known A division regiment, a combat unit in the main sequence, with four wings under its jurisdiction, equipped with first-class weapons and equipment, and can be called the "elite" of the Japanese army. However, not long after its establishment, the reputation of "wreck" spread throughout the Japanese army, especially the core unit of the Fourth Division, the Eighth Wing, which received the nickname "The Eighth Wing that is not afraid of defeat" because of its repeated defeats in the Russo-Japanese War......

Later, the Fourth Division was assigned to the Kwantung Army, which coincided with the war between the Soviet Union and Japan at Nomenkan on the Sino-Mongolian border, and the Kwantung Army mobilized troops to participate in the war.

Coincidentally, on the day that the advance team of the 4th Division arrived at the front, the Soviet Union and Japan declared an armistice......

When the news came, the officers and men of the Fourth Division who had fallen behind quickly followed as if they had taken a strong pill, and even many of the officers and men who stayed behind rushed to the front line "sick," while complaining with great regret that they had no chance to fight a battle.

Therefore, when it came to the return, the 4th Division, which was fully equipped and full of spirit, became the most powerful unit in the Japanese army, while the 2nd Division, which was the first to rush to the battlefield, lost its armor and was full of wounded soldiers, and its morale was sluggish......

At that time, the parting speeches of various units of the Japanese army had their own characteristics, such as the Second Division, which said "the military fortune is long" when the battle situation is good; When the situation is not good, they say "Kudansakami", but when the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division say goodbye, they often say "Misei Okiri", what does this mean by the temple? Translated, it means "take care of your body", "your body is the most important", or simply "save your life first......

The loose military discipline of the Fourth Division has become a long-standing problem for the top of the Japanese army, and even Yamashita Fengfumi, nicknamed the "Malay Tiger", once served as the commander of the division, but there is no way to take the free and loose Fourth Division.

At the time of Japan's surrender, the 4th Division was resting near Bangkok, Thailand, and unlike other Japanese units that refused to accept the fate of defeat and had soldiers disemboweled, the surrender and return of the 4th Division proceeded very quickly and smoothly. When all the officers and men of the Fourth Division, ruddy-faced and healthy, appeared in the Japanese ports, the Japanese who were malnourished and desolate were very surprised.

According to statistics, the Fourth Division was the unit with the fewest casualties and the most complete equipment and materials in the Japanese Southern Army.

The U.S. military described the division as "peace-loving......

The day after returning home, officers and men ran to the US barracks, neatly set up stalls, and sold war souvenirs.

Looking at the Japanese people in front of him who are full of interest and continue to sell local products, Fang Jun can be regarded as breathtaking, evolving from Namba Tsu to Osaka, but what remains unchanged is the eternal belief of the people of Osaka to make a fortune......

How can such a peace-loving people impose a blade on themselves?

It must be cultivated well, so that they can become people who have traveled every inch of the country and brought the prosperity, wealth, strength and invincibility of the Tang Dynasty to every Japanese talent......
