Since Japan wants to take the blame, it is natural that it cannot be unprepared. So, Marin called Liver Fu Mizuko over, planning to officially start the puppet plan, and planned to let Liver Fu Mizuko take their son Liver Fu Nobunaga to Japan to participate in the princes' struggle for hegemony.

But the liver paid for the water but refused:

"Husband, the slave family is grateful for your willingness to appoint my son Nobunaga as a great shogun (the head of the Japanese shogunate is called a great shogun). However, Nobunaga was too young to be a year old. And when you go back to Japan from here, if the child is too young, it is easy to die halfway. After all, children are not as tolerant of boats as adults! Therefore, the slave family decided to wait for Nobunaga to turn 5 years old and then take him back to China to participate in the hegemony! ”

But Marin didn't want to wait five years, so he asked:

"What about these 5 years? We can't do nothing, can we? In 5 years, you can do a lot of things, it's a shame to waste it! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Liver Fu Shuizi suggested:

"Husband, among the four great martial arts qinzi, chess pieces, books and paintings that the slave family is close to, the chess pieces have studied various chess games and battle formations since childhood, and they know a little about the art of war. The book is more proficient in handling government affairs, and before he was in trouble at home, many of the slaves' official affairs were also handled by the book. Well, the slave family and Nobunaga will go back in a few years. However, the slave family can send chess pieces and books back first, pull the team in advance, and promote the name, showing that Nobunaga has the ambition to participate in the national war! ”

Let the two maidservants do this? Marin was not at ease. But Liver Fu Shuizi has repeatedly assured that the loyalty of the four great martial artists is absolutely reliable. Even if they were in trouble and almost died, they never forsaken. Moreover, in ancient Japan, Takehime basically had no self, that is, the private property of the master, and could not produce the consciousness of being the master. And the four Wu Ji have received an education that they will not hesitate to die for the family since they were children, so they are absolutely reliable.

"So how do you recruit this manpower? I can send troops to help them lay ground. However, if they were all foreigners, they would be strongly ostracized from within Japan. Therefore, the chess pieces and the books must have an army of their own warriors. Otherwise, they will be perceived as intruders. ”

Liver Fu Shuizi was obviously familiar with the situation in his country, so he suggested:

"This is not difficult, in Japan, the lives of the people are like mustard. Those samurai may be difficult to recruit, but farmers are excellent recruits. No, it can't be considered a recruitment. As long as the husband is willing to spend money, a tael of silver can buy a very strong farmer. Those big names, in order to compete for hegemony, are very short of money in their hands. Buying and selling human beings or something, it's commonplace. Among them, the best business is the sale of women. Secondly, there is the sturdy farmer. ”

"Originally, the concubine thought that only samurai who had been practicing martial arts since childhood could participate in the war for hegemony. However, after being in Beihai Country for such a long time, the concubine found that the farmers of Beihai Country could easily kill people with strong martial arts after taking the best self-fired guns (clockwork muskets) in Beihai Country. Therefore, the concubine thought that the husband could spend money to buy a group of tall and sturdy farmers from Japan first, hand them over to chess pieces who knew how to fight, and train them into a strong army under the guidance of the officers under the husband. In this way, we will be able to participate in the competition for Japanese power......"

Marin looked at Liver Fu Shuizi unexpectedly - this woman, it's not simple......

If it's not controlled well, this woman may become Japan's Empress Lu or something. Therefore, Marin began to be secretly careful not to get out of his control in the future. Of course, Marin wasn't interested in anything else. What he attaches the most importance to is, of course, the control of Iwami Ginzan in Japan. As for how far Liver Fu Mizuko will take his son Liver Fu Nobunaga, he will not suppress it. After all, Nobunaga is also his own son. As long as you don't hinder yourself from developing Iwami Ginzan, you can make trouble with them.

Subsequently, Marin and Mizuko Hitotsuko enthusiastically discussed the criteria for a Japanese farmer to be "tall and strong". But the conclusion made Marin cry and laugh - in the eyes of Liver Fu Shuizi, he is more than 1.6 meters tall, which is considered tall in Japan......

Yes, you read that right, in ancient times, the Japanese were always short in height. Nowadays, in Japan, the average man is generally no taller than 1.6 meters. Only when you are in a noble family and have sufficient nutrition can you grow to more than 1.6 meters. It is difficult for ordinary people to exceed 1.6 meters. Only the children of nobles and samurai who exercised regularly, as well as the children of wealthy merchants, were normal to be taller than 1.6 meters.

To put it bluntly, it is caused by insufficient nutrition. In ancient Japan, the standard of living of the common people was very low, and it was a very high-end life to be able to eat a seaweed rice ball every day.

In addition, there is another important reason why the Japanese were short in ancient times - the Japanese did not eat meat!

Yes, the ancient Japanese did not eat meat! Beginning in the 8th century, the Japanese Imperial Court promulgated a "meat ban" that forbade the people from eating meat. It is said that it is because he learned to be a monk and a vegetarian. Even the nobles did not eat animal meat. For example, the famous Kobe beef was only eaten after the Westernization of Japan's Meiji Restoration. Before that, Japan hadn't eaten animal meat for thousands of years, and at most it would eat sashimi or something.

That's why the ancient Japanese were so short. Mainly, if you eat vegetarian every day, where is there enough nutrition to grow taller? Even though Japan has a tradition of eating fish, not everyone can afford to eat it.

However, after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese resumed eating meat, and their height began to gradually increase. During World War II, because it was not long before he returned to eating meat, the effect was not obvious, so he had the title of "little devil". It's too appropriate to let Pan Changjiang play the devil...... And most of those tall devils are North Korean devils......

After World War II, Japan not only ate meat in its entirety, but also encouraged the drinking of milk. Then, the height of the devil gradually caught up. After all, people and we are classified as branches of the same culture. As long as the nutritional supplement is resumed, you can still grow taller.

But in this era, the devils basically don't even eat meat for the nobles (the nobles eat more fish, and the commoners have no conditions), so the liver Fu Mizuko will say that Japanese farmers who are more than 1.6 meters tall are considered "tall"......

Let a group of short people who are less than 1.6 meters tall form an army, it feels like a schoolboy army...... It's very joyful to think about......

In this way, the war in Japan's Warring States period was no longer just a fight between the village chief, but a group of "elementary school students" with the village chief fighting...... Of course, these "primary school students" are relatively black and want people's lives......

Ma Lin suddenly had such a picture in his mind - a group of short "elementary school students", with red ridge scarves on their chests, all carrying Japanese knives, in the class leader...... Oh not under the leadership of the village chief, and the class next door...... A group of "elementary school students" in the country next door are in the playground...... The opening of the film on the battlefield......

Suddenly...... When the class bell rang, a group of "elementary school students" were so frightened that they dropped their swords and rushed to the class, for fear that they would be punished by the teacher for being late......
