Chapter 10: "The Daughter of Yindi'an"
Liao Fuyuan, the boatswain of the "Shengyuan", stood on the side of the ship, watching the Japanese women board the ship one after another, hanging their heads, showing a panicked expression on their faces occasionally raised, and holding their little belongings tightly with both hands.
"Hmmm......"
A low exclamation came from the entrance to the cabin, accompanied by a lewd laugh.
In search of prestige, I saw a sailor putting his hand into the arms of a passing woman, kneading and kneading and molesting her.
The Japanese woman just bowed her head, bit her lip, and did not shout, let alone resist, and let the other party do it.
"Hou Laosan, you fucking stop! You are playing with other people's future daughters-in-law, and you want to damage yin virtue and suffer retribution! Liao Fuyuan took a sip and scolded loudly.
Dog's day, these women are going to be transported to Yinzhou, and those countless bachelors are married, but they can't be let by the sailors!
"Liao Tou, don't I suspect that she is hiding a weapon and is worried about hurting others on the way." Hou Laosan stretched out his hand stupidly, but before he could do it, he kindly "tidied up" the clothes on the woman's chest, and then patted her ass unsatisfactorily, signaling the other party to enter the cabin.
"Can you find a sharp weapon?" The sailor on the side asked with a laugh.
"I haven't searched the unit yet, so I don't know!" Hou Laosan put his hand to the tip of his nose and took a deep breath.
"Then you'll have to be careful." The sailor masturbated and laughed, "If not, you will be hit hard by the sharp weapon between the woman's stocks, and you may lose your life for it!" ”
When the sailors heard this, they burst into laughter, and their eyes swept unscrupulously to the women who had boarded the ship one by one.
Alas, this Japan is really a fucking gentle township, which makes people reluctant to leave!
Japan's little girl's skin, not only is extremely gentle, but also open-minded, and how to do it is not too much, which makes the men unhappy.
In other words, in this country, both men and women, do not seem to be shy about love, just like animals intercourse with each other, and consider it a very common thing.
Oh, by the way, even their myths and stories are very fragrant, and we rough men can easily understand the deep meaning.
When the Kojiki describes Izanagi and his female companion being ashamed, he will shout loudly: I will go in and fill you!
The female companion shouted: Come on, that must be wonderful!
Obediently, this scene, this picture, is more straightforward and explicit than Lao Shizi's "Words of the Golden Vase Plum".
To the surprise of some of their newcomers to Japan, there was a custom of mixed bathing in Japan. It is said that when a family of several people, regardless of gender, bathes in a large bathtub, even if a father and his daughter bathe naked together, it behaves extremely naturally.
Ahh
However, what opened the eyes of Qi Guoren was that in this Japanese public hot spring bath, there was also a mixed bath for men and women, which made all the gentlemen blushed and did not dare to take off their clothes and enter the water after being there, which surprised the Japanese men and women who were taking a bath.
Not only did they mix together to bathe, but also ...... Still...... Dare to walk down the street naked, or walk straight home naked!
If there was something new in the streets, they would run out of the public baths without clothes and watch the excitement.
This is simply immoral, and it really shattered the three views of the people of Qi State.
According to Qi merchants and diplomats who have lived in Japan for a long time, the vast majority of Japanese handicraftsmen and manual laborers, such as palanquins, grooms, and rickshaw pullers, usually wear only crotch cloths or work naked, with crotch rings hanging from their crotches.
Look at the coolies doing the work on the docks, only a piece of cloth around the crotch on the whole body, as if they were not worn, the range of movement is a little larger, and the work is just hanging out, it is really fucking unsightly!
When some women work from home, it is said that if the heat is unbearable, they will also take off their kimono and work all the fruits.
I'll rub it! You say, Japan has bathed in our Chinese civilization for more than 1,000 years, why hasn't it learned some Confucian etiquette, righteousness and shame?
Actually, Japan can't be blamed either. Who made the land barren and barren, and the little life too poor! Over time, this strange custom has been created.
At the very least, in winter, the Japanese do not dare to go out on the streets, so there must be no "faint sadness". Their lack of clothes generally occurs in summer, in a hot and humid environment, they are easy to sweat, in order to be cool, but also to reduce the number of washes, to protect their pitiful clothes, can only take off their clothes to work. I've been working on this fruit for a long time, and I seem to be used to it, anyway, everyone is watching it every day, what is it to take a bath together?
In the course of 1,000 years of history, Japan's extremely low grain production and poor quality food have led to a very high mortality rate for the population, and the infant mortality rate is as high as 50%-60%, and adults often die of malaria, smallpox, viruses, famine, disasters, and hacking to death at every turn.
In this kind of living environment where babies can't live and adults will die at any time, Confucianism from China doesn't play a role.
The "Shengyuan" was moored at the wharf of Shangzong (now Chiba City) for half a month, and only after unloading more than 400 tons of rice, 50 tons of cane sugar, as well as many hardware products, leather goods, gunpowder, and other materials, has been waiting for a new batch of "goods" to be loaded onto the ship.
The reason why the cargo ships waited for so long was that the situation in the entire Kanto region suddenly became tense, and the shogunate issued an emergency military mobilization order in Edo Castle and the surrounding feudal states in response to the "downfall" of the northern Sendai domain.
Half a month ago, Date Yoshimura, the head of the Sendai domain, secretly sneaked back to Sendai from Edo through some means, and then announced that he supported the Choshu domain's proposal of "royal government retro" and "great government return", and resolutely sided with the Choshu domain-Satsuma feudal alliance to jointly launch the campaign to bring down the curtain.
Immediately, the Sendai clan began to mobilize its army and marched towards the Kanto region, heading straight for Edo Castle.
Shocked, Tadayuki Nakamino, who remained in Edo, actively recruited samurai and local people, and mobilized troops from neighboring feudal states to strengthen the defenses of Edo Castle, and at the same time sent several waves of messengers to quickly inform the shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune, who was supervising the battle in the Zhou defense country.
More than two months ago, the shogunate's "rash" decision triggered a fierce reaction from the Mori clan of the Choshu domain, which not only rejected the shogunate's ruling, but also dispatched the feudal army to punish the Tokuyama clan for offending the lord's family, openly provoking the prestige of the shogunate.
When the shogunate dispatched troops to quickly march towards the Mori clan's domain, the forward troops were strongly resisted by the army of the Choshu domain, and lost more than 1,000 soldiers. Subsequently, the shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune led an army of 20,000 troops, and the Choshu domain retreated to Tokuyama Castle (present-day Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture), and the Tokuyama domain army was engulfed to defend the stronghold.
The shogunate army attacked Tokuyama Castle several times, but was repulsed by the Chōshū feudal army, losing more than 1,000 soldiers and failing to advance an inch.
A month later, after a long journey, the Shogunate artillery reached the front line and launched a fierce assault on Tokuyama Castle.
After two days of hard fighting, the Choshu Domain abandoned the castle and retreated to the abandoned western Kyoto (present-day Yamaguchi City), where they resisted one by one with the help of the dangerous terrain.
However, just as the shogunate army was struggling to attack in the direction of the Choshu domain's escape, the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain suddenly landed at Tokuyama Castle with several ships carrying more than 1,000 feudal troops and launched an attack on the rear route of the shogunate army.
After the sudden attack on Tokuyama Castle, the shogunate army was attacked by the Satsuma musketeers, who had amazing combat effectiveness, and several supply warehouses were successively breached, and the military supplies that were successively transported here were almost burned.
The front line was in a mess, and the back road was attacked by the Satsuma Domain, which suddenly made the general Tokugawa Yoshimune, who was attacking by the pro-overseer army, a little annoyed and angry.
Immediately, he divided his troops of more than 6,000 troops and sent Sawada Nobuhiro back to Tokuyama Castle by Wakanian to repel the Satsuma clan and ensure the safety of the rear road. At the same time, several messengers were sent to China, Gyeonggi and other regions to recruit more vassal troops to fight the Choshu-Satsuma rebel coalition, vowing to uproot the two men and eliminate them as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the battle ahead was not yet clear, and the Sendai Domain in the northeast also jumped out, which immediately caused the shogunate to be a little caught off guard.
Shouldn't all the vassal states in the world rebel?
In order to raise more war materials, the shogunate, who was in charge of business and overseas trade, began to actively contact the merchants of the Kamishoku region and foreign merchants, asking them to send more food, gunpowder, steel, and even ordnance to the shogunate, and to prepare for the further mobilization and assembly of the shogunate army.
Originally, the "Shengyuan" was loaded with more than 400 tons of rice, most of which were ordered by the Sendai Domain. However, when the Kamiso Port Governor heard about it, he asked the Qi people to unload all the rice, and the shogunate would pay for it.
But the honest captain of the Qi State refused the port's request, claiming that he would not resell other customers' goods privately, so as not to tarnish his reputation.
After hearing this, the port commissioner's face suddenly turned pale, and his heart was also full of slander.
According to the terms of the treaty of commerce between Qi and Japan, your Qi country is only allowed to trade in four treaty ports, and the Sendai domain is a prohibited area.
But the merchants of Qi are good, ignoring the ban as nothing, sneaking over from time to time and trading privately.
On weekdays, the shogunate, in line with the principle that more is better than less, chose to turn a blind eye to such bold and reckless behavior of your Qi merchants, and did not know what to do.
But what's going on now?
The Sendai Domain wants to respond to the Sacho Alliance and "fall the curtain" together!
You Qi people still want to import food and other materials into the territory of the Sendai Domain, what do you mean?
However, the port authorities did not dare to use force to forcibly detain this Qi merchant ship, so they could only order the wharf coolies to prohibit the unloading of Qi merchant ships, and also sent many fishing boats to deliberately block around it to delay and prevent it from leaving.
After more than ten days of stalemate, when the shogunate promised to offer a purchase price higher than the market price of 10% and buy all the grain on the merchant ships of the Qi Kingdom, the captain reluctantly agreed.
If I continue to delay, I am afraid that I will miss the shipping schedule and spend a lot of money.
Since the shogunate is willing to give some benefits, let's sell them the grain.
The Kanto region is the most populous region in Japan, and with a large population of one million people like Edo Castle, the demand for food is huge, and almost every day, more than a dozen large and small ships loaded with grain sail into several ports in the bay to ensure a stable supply of this core area controlled by the shogunate.
During this period, many poor Japanese people believed that they could find a living job just by going to Edo, that they could eat food that they could not dream of in the countryside, and that they could live a carefree life with all kinds of entertainment.
Eventually, however, more than half of the citizens of Edo lived a "barely subsistence" life.
Now that war has broken out, the feudal states in various regions have begun to be agitated, and the import of annual tribute may be cut off as the situation changes, and a famine will ensue, which makes it impossible for the shogunate to pay more attention to the continuous supply of food.
When the Sendai Domain dispatched the feudal army to kill Edo Castle, the shogunate had already imposed food control on Musashi, where Edo was located, as well as the areas of Shimoso, Kamiso, Kai, and Sagami, and ordered the shogunate and some of the imperial families to transport the stored grain to Edo Castle just in case.
This caused chaos and panic throughout the region, and countless merchants and townspeople flocked to Edo and Joso to avoid the front of the army, which further exacerbated the tension in the region.
However, this situation provides great convenience for Qi people to purchase some special "goods". According to the "order" demand from Yinzhou last year, the "Shengyuan" wanted to recruit 340 young women.
As a result, the middleman assigned to the ship actually collected more than 460 women in one go, and they were all high-quality "goods" ranging in age from thirteen or fourteen to twenty-six or seventeen, so that the shipowner was very satisfied, and ate them all.
It is not very repulsive to travel across the ocean to distant overseas regions, whether it is a ruined wandering samurai or a country woman with no food and clothing.
Over the years, many people who have gone abroad will bring news to their families through various channels, saying that they have a very good life, and after working hard for more than ten years, they not only have no worries about food and clothing, but also have a family and have children. There are even people who return to their hometowns with the identity of Qi people on their heads, and take their relatives back overseas to enjoy a better life.
When the townspeople in the city and the farmers in the countryside heard about it, they were all envious and yearning for it.
However, although the shogunate opened several treaty ports, the closed country decree issued by the shogunate was still effective for the general public of Japan, and it was forbidden to leave the country at will. This time, it broke the thoughts of most people.
Well, since the vast majority of Japanese people cannot leave the country, there are always a small number of people who can board the merchant ships of the Qi people through various private channels, drift across the ocean, and go to Hanzhou proper, or many overseas territories.
The sailors who often transported Japanese, Korean, and even Qin women to Yinzhou once jokingly referred to them as "Yindi Annu".
Women to, Yin Di'an!
