Chapter 340: Mobilization

I don't know if there is no one to report here, or the husband has ignored this place, Chen Daojian estimated the time, and estimated that it is only the time to start the watch, that is, around nine o'clock.

Since this is a trading port, ships do not necessarily enter the port during the day, but also enter the port in the evening, and then start loading and unloading goods urgently, so the port is not as quiet as other places.

At this time, there were still a lot of people coming and going, so the people of Fu No. 1 rushed here, the place less than ten miles away was still quite prosperous, it was still full of pedestrians after dark, there were many restaurants nearby, and there were obviously prostitutes coming and going, because Chen Daojian heard the unique noise of drunkards, but also heard the laughter of women, and the sound of musical instruments with a very strange tone.

He walked to the door, looked out barefoot, pushed open the doors and windows, and everywhere there were low houses, the smell of wine, the noise, the sound of the trumpet of moving goods, the carts full of goods being pushed in front of him or pulled by donkeys, and more often the low widows acting as donkeys and horses pulling the carts.

It was a rather barren country, and the entire island was planted with rice fields, and rice was almost their only main crop, so even the Daimyo's income was expressed in the number of stones of rice.

100,000 stones, 200,000 stones, 400,000 stones, 1,000,000 stones...... Pretty simple and straightforward.

It is also quite clear how much grain there is, how many retainers to feed, and how many samurai there are.

Except for a few strongmen who defy the sky, basically the forces on the island speak according to the number of stones, and it is difficult to make exceptions.

The generals can be replaced, as well as the regent Sekihaku and Taiko, but no matter which force controls the Wa Kingdom, the emperor's lineage has never been changed.

It's okay to go down, but always stick to the aristocratic system, call around, make trouble, and the islanders will feel at ease as their own islanders, ashigaru to samurai, old, old, old, daimyo, everything is the blood has the final say.

This is a strange country, and the low-rise houses in front of me are all imitations of the buildings of the Tang Dynasty, but they are low, cheap, and the goods are not right.

Chen Daojian sighed deeply, and his handsome face showed a determination that was not commensurate with his appearance and age. He did not wear a barrier knife or a ceremonial sword, although according to his status he should have worn these two swords, the ceremonial knife was more of a ceremonial use, and most of the civil officials wore this sword, and those who were in charge of the army, the envoys of the festival, the generals, and the captains mostly wore ceremonial swords when wearing military robes.

Or a narrow and short obstacle knife, extremely sharp, with no return, is generally used when fighting desperately.

The horizontal knife should be wider and heavier, open and close, and be used to slash and slash into battle.

The most legendary is the Mo knife, the most legendary long knife among the four knives of the Tang Dynasty, like a wall, when it is shattered.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of knife casting technique was actually not lost, but because it was too expensive, after the Great Wei Dynasty adopted the divine arm bow as a sharp weapon, more horizontal knives and long knives were used to replace the expensive and more difficult to practice Mo knives.

This is also the strategy of the forbidden army after Taizu, more emphasis on long-range, light hand-to-hand combat, and ignoring cavalry, which is actually something that should not happen.

If we talk about the relationship between cavalry and horse farms, it doesn't matter at all.

The Tang people also had no horses at the beginning, and there were nearly one million war horses in the past few decades, which was nothing more than the proper administration of horses.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in another time and space, the rebels cut wood for soldiers, relying on the horse farm in northern Anhui to establish a cavalry team, Liu Futong three-way northern expedition, the Yuan army was defeated in many ways, how many Mongolian generals of the Mongolian and Yuan families were defeated and died on the battlefield, and the serious Mongolian cavalry was defeated in front of the peasant army determined to defeat them.

The Northern Expeditionary Army and the Eastern Route Army of the Red Turban Army, all the way to Guanzhong, Sichuan, Taiyuan, and then from Taiyuan to kill outside the Saiwai, descend to Kaiping, from the grassland all the way to Shangdu, and then to Liaodong, this is quite an excellent strategic intersperse, not a rogue, where to fight, the Red Turban Army Northern Expeditionary Army has always had a clear goal, and firmly worked hard to achieve the goal.

In contrast, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Gezuo Wuying in the late Ming Dynasty were complete clowns.

Chen Daojian held the horizontal knife in his hand, feeling the heaviness of the blade and the smoothness of the scabbard.

Hurried footsteps could be heard not far away, and the other two teams of guards dispersed into a long queue, mingling in the convoy and the flow of people, and rushed outside the building.

Chen Daojian also saw that more than 30 sailors also rushed over, they had no armor or military robes, and they were dressed in all kinds of clothes, some wore turbans, some wore hats, and some simply went barehead and fixed the hair on their heads with hairpins.

Thirty-nine guards, more than thirty sailors, plus a dozen men from the pavilion, less than ninety, all of them were here.

"I don't know if you've heard the story of the Ban Wai Envoy." Chen Daojian said to everyone: "Ban Chao is an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and when he went to the Western Regions, he happened to meet the envoy of the Huns. At this critical juncture, Ban Chao led more than 30 people of the embassy to attack and kill the Xiongnu envoys, thus stabilizing the capital, and then he became an important minister of stability in the Western Regions, a lifetime of merit, thousands of years of circulation. ”

Not far away, a group of widows, bare-legged, shouted vigorously and passed by.

Chen Daojian raised his voice and said loudly: "Life will not reach a hundred years, and you may only be forty or fifty years old in bed when you die of old age, and very few can live to be more than sixty. If you don't fight today, how many more years can you live? It's nothing more than old age and illness, and when he died, he regretted that he didn't seize the opportunity to make a contribution. Ladies and gentlemen, do you dare me to attack and kill the Heavenly Mission? ”

"The head is no bigger than a bowl-sized scar." Zhang Bofu raised his arms and said: "This thing is done, Lao Tzu will at least be promoted to the first class, and his annual salary will be increased by more than 100 yuan, and you will be the same, everyone has a chance!" ”

"It's done!"

"Heavenly people, it's not too much to kill as many Lao Tzu as you want."

"If we want our lives, we will kill them first."

The sentry officer who led the team did not participate in the shouting of the crowd, but only said to Chen Daojian: "We are ordered to escort the envoys of the mission, and we will get military orders before leaving, and all actions will be under the command of Lord Chen." ”

"Very good," Chen Daojian said: "You are the main force to break the enemy, and this meritorious service will reach the front of the Junhou case." ”

There was a look of excitement on the sentry officer's face, most of the sentry officers in the sailor division were veterans, and they were probably from the least of a few hundred soldiers, and they had the courage, courage, perseverance, and ambition to be able to go from ordinary soldiers to the position of sentry officer.

Above the sentry officer, it is the deputy capital head or capital head, and at the level of the capital head, he has become the military attache with the lowest command sequence, not the military attache who takes the lead in fighting.

"Give everyone a bowl of wine." Chen Daojian knew that the morale had risen, the ninety people in front of him were murderous, and the men seemed to have smelled blood, brave, strong, bloodthirsty, cruel, violent, it was almost to the fire, and the difference was the last bowl of wine.

Of course, there is a large amount of good wine stored in the building, and this is not the time to be stingy, Zhang Bofu took people to take more than a dozen bowls, poured them full, and everyone drank this bowl of wine.

Chen Daojian also drank with everyone, full of a big mouthful, this is a good wine that has been distilled repeatedly, although it is not soju, but it is much higher than ordinary rice wine, but it is still very soft, but a big mouthful, a heat inevitably appears from the abdomen, and churns upwell.

This time it's an attack, not a dignified battle formation, so you don't need to keep calm, in fact, even if it's a dignified array, sometimes there are some tasks that kill you, such as attacking the city first, or digging tunnels, or becoming a guerrilla dead soldier, are all selected to choose the sharp soldiers, when you are in battle, drink a bowl, you can promote blood and courage, after all, when you go out to kill the enemy, there are very few people who can come back safely, and normal courage is no longer enough.

In the night, a team of less than 100 people set off from the pavilion, and the Tianfang people lived in the post house outside the daimyo's mansion, which was actually an old mansion that was vacated for the Tianfang people to live in.

Not far away is the base of the stone pile, which is as high as Zhangxu, and after a winding path is a stone wall, and then you enter through the castle gate, where the lord and daimyo live.

The castle is as high as more than ten zhang, the color is mainly black and white, the bottom base is made of stone bricks, the same as the courtyard wall, there is an arrow hole for archery, the samurai can shoot arrows outward at the bottom base of the courtyard wall and the castle, outside the main gate, if you encounter a war, you can use the sharpened wooden fence to make another layer of defense, so that the enemy is difficult to break into.

On top of the stone foundation is a sold-story castle, mainly made of wood, where the daimyo and his wives and concubines mostly lived.

This kind of small castle, the foundation is solid, the defense is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Japanese country is now full of daimyo, often attacking each other, so in the residence can only be wronged by these lords, what deep mansion compound, garden beauty do not think, can only succumb to the castle.

Ouchi Shengda, the head of the contemporary Ouchi family, is about fifty years old, and like the samurai, he has a shaved head and a bun on the back of his head, but his sideburns are smeared with nectar and sesame oil, which looks a little oily and pink.

This is the etiquette of the aristocracy, including the wide and delicate robe on his body, the delicate pattern of rust, the folding fan in his hand that does not leave his hand for a moment, coupled with the white stockings, and the delicate saber, all of which show the noble status of this three great masters.

Because it is not a flat, the source of the two surnames, the Ouchi family in the strongest time did not covet the position of the general, before the Muromachi Ashikaga shogunate successfully grasped the real power, the world is in turmoil, the Ouchi family is not without opportunities, but the tradition makes the Ouchi family unable to break through the existing Gedu, can only choose to support the Ashikaga clan to ascend to the position of general.

It's not bad either, Ouchi is content with everything at the moment.

It was the fat queen Kang Tianqi who made him a little upset...... There are only a few full-time samurai in the Ouchi family, in fact, all the daimyo are almost the same, if it weren't for the era of frequent wars, the daimyo would not spend a lot of money to support those full-time samurai, the cost is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In peacetime, samurai can also be used as officials, accountants, warehousemen, agricultural officials, managers, and diplomats, etc., all of which require manpower.

Of the hundreds or thousands of samurai, only a few of them completely retained the duties of the samurai, in fact, in the later period of the Tokugawa shogunate, many of the "samurai" with the name of samurai did not know how to wield a gun or a club, they may be financial personnel, or administrators, in short, they are not real samurai.

Most of the people around Ouchi Shengda are managers, and the force value is not even comparable to the small one who opens the door for him.

Only those who are on duty inside and outside the castle with a long sword or a long knife are the real armed personnel of the Ouchi family.

There are about 100 people guarding the entire castle, this castle is called Qingyi Pavilion, it is not grandiose, and the former governor who may have built it thought it would be more beneficial to keep a low profile.

Compared to the castle tower and the like, the name of this castle is quite modest and low-key.

Ouchi Shengda is used to going to bed late, and lately he has slept late. Those heavenly people seemed to be forbidden to drink alcohol by precept, but when the mission arrived, they roasted mutton and drank wine from morning to night, and made a fuss every day until late.

The surrounding Japanese people dare not speak out, these Tianfang people are actually very few from the Tianfang country, most of them are people who are full of thorns and Pu Xingfeng.

These people were either pirates or soldiers full of thorns, they were fierce and brave, and all of them had a fierce air on their faces, and the mission of more than 100 people tossed around them lightly.

In order to prevent them from making more trouble, Ouchi Shengda instructed his subordinates to find dozens of prostitutes and women, and go to the residence of the Tianfang people every day to serve them, in fact, they took the initiative to send them women, so as not to harm the women of good families.

Every time Ouchi Shengda stood on the third floor of the castle, he could clearly see what the Celestial people were doing in the station, and every time he frowned, his face was full of gloom.
