Chapter 766: Japan (10)
When these hard-pressed wandering samurai arrived at the Tanegashima training base, they knew what it was like to be full. Although the company is currently in an extraordinary period, the food standard for the Tanegashima Death Army training base has been lowered again and again, and finally it has dropped to the level of three meals a day and the level of homeless.
Corn paste porridge and a few potatoes for breakfast, corn paste porridge and a few corn flour tortillas for lunch, corn paste porridge and a few sweet potatoes for dinner, and the non-staple food is even simpler, with only a few fresh radishes per meal.
With such a large amount of training every day, but only such shabby food, even the people in the logistics department of the Military Commission felt a little unbearable. Later, some standards were added, that is, for the Daredevils who participated in the training, each person could get a canned whale meat on the last day of each month.
But what I didn't expect was that even such a meal made the newly trained daredevils in the training base burst into tears. The main family was so arrogant that he actually provided them with three meals a day, and gave them such a large amount for each meal.
Many of them may have never eaten a few full meals in their lives, but they didn't expect to be able to eat enough when they arrived here. And you can also get a meat dish every month, which is something that only nobles and daimyos can eat.
In ancient Japan, the aristocracy had a dinner together, and each person had a meal in front of him and ate his own. Even what they call the lavish feast of the palace banquet is a fish, a plate of pickles, a small plate of boiled vegetables, a bowl of rice and a bottle of wine. This standard probably can't even meet the food standard of a seven-grade civil official in China.
The only meat dish is the fish, and the number of fish should not be increased, so try to choose some expensive fish to cook. Pickles also
It is a must, so only take the best two slices in the middle of a radish, cut it thinly and then carve the flowers. I can't cook it, either
change, so when choosing wild vegetables, you should also choose relatively rare.
That's how Japanese food is cooked. It was hard to work on the taste of light first. Since the taste and the number of dishes that can be made are limited, the main focus of the banquet gradually shifted to the tableware and table, as well as the utensils to be exquisite, so that at least the diners can eat more comfortably.
Unlike the Chinese merchant temperament, the Japanese have a strong craftsman temperament, although they are serious. Pay attention to details, but sometimes always strive for fineness in small places, work hard in places that shouldn't be worked on, and often end up doing something that buys and pays back. But the Japanese still enjoy it, and perhaps this is also the advantage of their nation.
The aristocracy of Japan is still like this, not to mention a group of hard-working wandering samurai, when have they ever had such a day, although the training at the Death Army Training Base is extremely cruel, most of them still survived.
And what they don't know is. Gao Jianguo and others of the Central Military Commission were also worried about the food standards of the base of the Death Army, for fear that such a poor food standard would affect the morale of these newly trained Japanese soldiers and delay the training of the training base.
After months of training, after months of hellish training and extremely strict management, the more than 20,000 daredevils of the samurai had a new look. I was just locked up in this environment for a few months. Now they were like beasts that had been hungry for a winter, and they all had a tyrannical mood in their hearts.
Officers and soldiers of the Far East in charge of the training base of the Death Army. They also discovered this situation, and they were also afraid of causing trouble in Satsuma, so they immediately reported the situation to the top level of the Military Commission.
Gao Jianguo listened to the report of the base, just sneered, and gave instructions. Let the officers and soldiers of the Far East at the base go with the flow and leave these little devils alone. They're about to go to war, so let them go to the battlefield and let out some catharsis.
A few days later, a large number of sailboats arrived at Tanegashima, and the two overseas brigades and the newly trained Daredevils Brigade on Tanegashima boarded the ships one after another. Then slowly sail towards the island of Kyushu. At the same time, the Far Eastern Army, stationed on Jeju Island and Busan, North Korea, also boarded ships one after another and headed for Kyushu Island.
At this point, the Japanese campaign launched by the Military Commission also officially kicked off......
The Admiralty of the Military Commission transferred almost all the triangular schooners and clippers to the coastal areas of Japan's Kyushu Island, and imposed a strict blockade on Kyushu Island. The news of the Far East's involvement in the war for the fall of the Satsuma Domain had spread to all of Japan, and a large number of warships from the Far East had gathered on the island of Kyushu, and the daimyo feudal lords off the coast of Japan did not make much of a fuss.
Knowing the strength of the Far Eastern Fleet, they all withdrew their naval forces to their territories to avoid conflict with the Far East. As a result, Japanese ships have become virtually extinct along the coast of Kyushu Island, and even in the coastal areas of Japan as a whole. Even when some Japanese ships ventured to sea, they were robbed by the Far East Patrol Fleet.
It controlled the coast of Kyushu Island in Japan, and completely severed the connection between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island and Shikoku Island. Including the Kyushu coalition led by the Satsuma Domain, as well as several Kyushu daimyo who defected to the Saga Domain, such as the Nabeshima family, were unable to get in touch with Kyushu.
Tsushima Island, located in the Korean Strait between Japan and South Korea, belongs to Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Tsushima Island is located about 50 kilometers from the Korean Peninsula, and on a clear day, you can see Busan from the Tsushima Plateau. Tsushima Island is 82 kilometers long from north to south and 18 kilometers from east to west, with an area of 708.6 square kilometers.
The Tsushima clan ruled Tsushima for generations, and the local officials below the county guard were all sent by the island owner. However, the local government of the clan was still under the orders of the central shogunate. On the other hand, because there was not much farmland in Tsushima, the Jong clan had always traded with Goryeo and Korea.
At the time of the Battle of Bunroku, the 19th head of the Tsushima clan, Yoshitomo So, was ordered by Hideyoshi to mobilize all the men between the ages of 16 and 53 to participate in the battle as an advance team. At the time of the Battle of Keichō, the Tsushima Army, which had lost its elite, gathered only 1,000 men to join the expedition and garrisoned Geoje Island. The result of the war was the almost complete destruction of the economy of Tsushima. It was not until 1609, when Korea and Japan signed the Treaty of Keichau, that relations between Tsushima and Korea were restored.
During the Korean Campaign, the Far Eastern Army used a large number of warships to blockade the coast of Korea, including Tsushima Island. Until the Far East completely controlled the whole territory of Korea, the news did not reach Japan.
The Far East blocked the Tsushima Strait, which indirectly cut off the economic lifeline of the Tsushima clan, so that the Tsushima clan sent ships to Korea secretly several times, but they never returned.
At this time, when the Satsuma Domain launched the War of the Shogunate, the Zong clan also turned its attention to the war between the Shogunate Army and the Kyushu Coalition Army, and the Ma Clan would obviously pay more attention to the victor between them. (To be continued......)
