Chapter 20: Soccer player, Imagawa Shin.
To tell you the truth, Gao Xianda is a little depressed right now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The world of "The Legend of Taiko Ambition" is slightly different from his imagination.
After experiencing the copy of the Qing Dynasty, he felt that he had a certain tolerance for life in ancient times. Even if there is no flush toilet, you can't take a shower, and you don't have all kinds of household appliances. But after arriving in ancient Japan, he was still full of disappointment with the world.
If China during the Kangxi period was very backward for him, it was simply a primitive society.
Not only is there nothing modern here, but even eating is a problem.
Looking at the sticky brown rice, small plates of pickled radish, a shriveled fish and a bowl of miso soup, Gao Xianda felt like he was being abused.
But the fact is quite the opposite, such food was already available to the nobility. Civilians are already very lucky to be able to eat a bowl of soup and rice, and radishes and salted fish are things that they can't even think of.
"I want to eat meat." It was very painful.
Even in "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", the supply of meat is sufficient. Needless to say, the imperial cuisine of the palace, whether it is Beijing or Guangzhou, it is the capital of food, as long as the silver is sprinkled, the major restaurants can make delicious dishes that make people drool.
Roast duck with fruit wood, roasted suckling pig in hanging oven, large pieces of grilled pork, braised pork ribs, beef in sauce...... This kind of food, Gao Xianda drools when he thinks about it now.
But what about here? Even if there is silver, there is nowhere to buy it.
Since ancient times, Japan has not raised pigs and no sheep, and wild boars only occasionally appear in the mountains. The only big animals that can be seen are ploughing cattle. But in a country with an agrarian culture, killing cattle is a felony. And the food of those ploughing cattle themselves is not good, they have to plow the land every day, and they are as thin as dogs.
Since ancient times, the emperor has issued a ban on meat eating, so no one eats meat throughout the country. They're all used to it.
But the immediate consequence is that these Japanese are very short. The average height of men is about 1.5 meters, and people over 1.40 meters abound, while people who are 1.6 meters tall are considered tall.
And they are generally relatively thin, and there are not many people who are 100 pounds, like Gao Xianda, a muscular man who is more than 1.80 meters tall and weighs nearly 188, is simply like a giant here.
Whoever sees him can't help but look at him a few more times. This made Gao Xianda feel even more depressed.
At the beginning, he also brought some meat in the watch space. At that time, he did not expect the harshness of the environment, so the number of preparations was not large. I just want to add Japanese snacks when I come in. Who would have thought that such a disaster would have been encountered?
And the more he got to this time, the more he felt the inhumane malice of his four Pokemon.
They didn't care about Coxenda's mood at all, and it didn't take long for Cosgenda to eat up all of its inventory.
So when Gao Xianda sees the wind speed dog now, it is inevitable that he will drool a little. The wind dog was tall and big, like a lion, and looked much fatter than the ploughing cattle.
Gao Xianda's current status is not bad, the son of a daimyo named Imagawa Yoshimoto. His name is now Imagawa Shin.
The so-called daimyo is equivalent to the local big landlords and nobles, equivalent to the lords and kings in the Western fantasy, and also leads the generals and the people. Nominally, they obeyed the co-lord of the world, the general of Zhengyi. But as the shogun's grip waned, they were effectively on their own.
Imagawa Yoshimoto is known as the "No. 1 Yutori in Tokaido", and he occupies the territory of the three regions of Suruga, Enoe, and Mikawa, and is very powerful.
To the north of the Imagawa family is the Takeda family, and the head of the family is Takeda Harunobu, who is known as the "Kai Tiger", which is the future Takeda Shingen. To the east of the Imagawa family, there is the Hojo family, and the head of the family is the Hojo family, known as the "Lion of Sagami".
To the south of the Imagawa family is the sea, while to the west is the Oda family, and the head of the family is Oda Nobunaga, who is known as the "Great Fool of Owari".
Japan's Sengoku period was an era of declining shogunate power and daimyo fighting each other, and if they wanted to survive, they had to wage constant foreign wars. The Imagawa family is surrounded by lions, tigers, or the sea, so if you look around, the only one who can attack is the great fool of Owari Province.
Therefore, with the efforts of Imagawa, Takeda, and Hojo, the three families finally formed an alliance and became a family relationship between their children and daughters.
After solving the worries of the three powerful daimyo attacking each other, the Takeda family can rest assured that they can go north, the Hojo family can attack the Kanto region to their heart's content, and Imagawa Yoshimoto put forward a righteous and awe-inspiring slogan: he wants to go to Luo.
Shangluo means "go to Luoyang". Because Japan's Warring States is a Chinese culture, they also call Kyoto Luoyang. Therefore, Kamiraku means that Imagawa Yoshimoto is going to lead his troops to Kyoto.
The Imagawa family is a descendant of the current Muromachi shogunate's Ashikaga family, so it is a branch of the shogun's family and has a very noble bloodline. Therefore, at this time, it is a very good practice to send troops westward to show off force and strengthen the dominance of the Imagawa family.
Even with the strength of the Imagawa family, he may not be able to really fight to Kyoto, but with this reason as an excuse, he can wave his army westward, show his force, and attack the disobedient daimyo around him by the way, at least it will not be a problem to include Owari Ichikuni, where the Oda family is located.
There is nothing wrong with this in itself, the problem is that Oda Nobunaga is not really a fool.
Those who are familiar with the Warring States know that Oda Nobunaga is the first strange person in the Warring States and the head of the three great worlds in Japan.
Behind him, the people of the world: Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was known as Taiko, was still named Kinoshita Tengjiro at this time, and was a ashigaru (low-level infantryman) under him.
And Tokugawa Ieyasu, who finally gained the world and founded the Tokugawa shogunate, was called Matsudaira Motoyasu at this time, and his identity was a celebrity hostage of the Imagawa family.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rise was inherited from Oda Nobunaga's posthumous legacy, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's final victory was to bully the orphans and widows left behind by Toyotomi Hideyoshi after his death.
Only Oda Nobunaga is the one who has risen from his own strength.
He had an unusual mind and strong ability, and he was able to go from a small daimyo of Owari Province to a man of the world and the de facto ruler of Japan. And his famous battle was a surprise attack on the powerful Imagawa Yoshimoto army in the barrel saga, assassinating Imagawa Yoshimoto, which led to the decline of the Imagawa family.
It's just a pity that at this time, neither Imagawa Yoshimoto nor Oda Nobunaga knew their future fate. And Gao Xianda, who is not familiar with the history of Japan's Warring States period, does not know.
All he could think about now was where to get some meat to eat.
