Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 703: The turning point of the Shogunate
The new maid who led Pei Ziyun into the hall was a petite girl. She was dressed in a pale white maid costume. She was very young and looked seventeen or eighteen. She moved very softly and spoke softly. ? WWW.suimeng.lā
"Fruit is a castle." When Pei Ziyun was led into the building, he found that the building had built walls, using sharp corners to reduce the surrounding defensive corners. There was no castle tower. It is estimated that artillery had appeared at that time to prevent attacks. Become the main attack target during fire attack.
"Not a mountain city, but a Pingshan city!"
This is a city built on hills and hills. There were many during the Warring States period. Of course, Japanese cities can actually be regarded as a kind of fortress.
However, it is the era of peace. Around the museum, there are courtyards, lawns on the ground, running water, and rockeries. Fruit trees are planted in them, and servants are taking care of them.
Pei Ziyun took a cursory glance and found that these trees are loquats, which is a bit strange. Because in Japan, although loquats cure diseases, the fruits, leaves, and seeds can be used as medicine. They are very common fruit trees and are also highly regarded. There are some taboos when planting loquat trees in the yard.
Because loquat is an evergreen tree with wide leaves, it is planted in the yard, the sun is blocked, and the shade is heavy, which is not good for health.
There is also something related to the fruiting time of the loquat. It takes a long time for the seeds to be planted to bear fruit. When the loquat is planted, there are older people in the family. When the loquat blooms and bears fruit, the elderly may age and die. The formation of a kind of attachment, thinking that the fruit of the loquat means that there will be death in the family, which has made many Japanese people fearful.
Furthermore, the seeds of loquat are poisonous, and it is very dangerous if children eat them by accident. Now, almost no family in Japan will plant loquat in the garden.
Pei Ziyun followed the maid to the main building, thinking silently in his heart: In the courtyard of this building, loquats are planted. Is it occasional, or is there another reason?
After entering the hall, it was a little gloomy. Several maids were busy and seemed to be making a small banquet. Pei Ziyun also saw a small cake. When they saw the visitor, they all bowed and saluted.
"Cake, remember that Yuanzi Bando is not today's birthday. Which Bando family is celebrating her birthday?" Pei Ziyun thought casually, narrowing her eyes. These maids acted in the same way, and their appearance was similar in decoration and even temperament.
The Bando Foundation has extraordinary financial resources and profound background. Because of training these people, it consumes not only money, but also time.
After a while, it led to a living room.
Entering the living room, Pei Ziyun found that there were some Ukiyo-e on the walls around the living room and some old-fashioned weapons on the shelves.
"Hey! Please sit down, the lady will come right away!" The maid made a cup of tea, and left behind, and the whole living room fell silent. Pei Ziyun took a sip of tea, put the wooden knife on the table, and watched with her back. around.
Ukiyo-e, Pei Ziyun also knows something about it. When he took a closer look, he found that the ukiyo-e is not only well-preserved, but also has a smooth texture, revealing a kind of charm, which is obviously made by everyone.
Pei Ziyun took a closer look at the content, and found that they were all pictures of a war against the curtain.
Just as Pei Ziyun observed carefully, a voice suddenly rang in Pei Ziyun's ear.
"Yamada-kun, are you also interested in falling curtains?" It turned out that it was the owner of the museum, Hiroko Bando appeared.
Pei Ziyun turned around and leaned slightly: "Bandong Sang, hello."
Honoko Bando is a beautiful child, but she looks a little thin, wearing a long skirt, but because of her thinness, she looks a little empty, and her face is a little pale. According to the data, she is sixteen years old, but she looks only fourteen. Around the age of, but his eyes are very energetic, very agile.
"Yes, I am a little interested." Pei Ziyun pointed to the picture: "This painting is relatively real. There are some Ukiyo-e depicting wars, and most of them are samurai holding samurai swords fighting."
"This is wrong."
"Although both sides had sword-drawing teams at the time, the Shogunate also had the famous Chengkou team."
"Xi Jian Xiuzhen was known as the first samurai at that time, assisting the shogunate in combat, fought in various domains, and even killed the thieves of the shogunate, known as a thousand people, and the public gave a thousand and one hundred stones."
"But when it comes to total warfare, it has already entered the level of hot weapons."
"This kind of samurai is holding swords and slashing at each other, but the so-called "Last Samurai" is a poisonous impression." It was almost the afternoon, and the rain was a bit heavy, crackling.
Honoko Bando smiled: "I have read two of your novels and I admire it very much. Twelve-year-old samurai, I don't want you to have such thoughts."
"These are two different things. Even if I am a samurai, I can't help but acknowledge historical facts."
"It is said that the weapons of the Shogunate are actually similar to the weapons of the Shogunate. One British style and one French style." Bando Himeko: "Of course, strictly speaking, all countries have weapons. Only after the Shogunate's victory, the style was unified. ."
She looked along the picture: "These are the battles my family participated in. There are seven pictures in total, representing seven battles. The first and the second are the fiercest. Seven men died in my family's battle at that time!" /
Honoko Bando crossed the picture and pointed to a person: "This is my direct ancestor Bando Takumi. At that time, his father and brother died in battle. He inherited the position of the head of the family and continued to fight for the shogunate. The third bomb was taken off the front line and was reported by the newspaper at the time."
"After the victory of the war, the shogunate gave the Bandō family a reward of 000 Shi Zhixing in Hokkaido. The total Zhixing has 800 Shi, and the sacrifice we made has been rewarded."
Pei Ziyun nodded. Many people think that there is not much knowledge and practice. In fact, there are a lot of them. In the words of the feudal princes, 150 stone or more is the dalu's vassal, and the salary of family members is generally between 1,500 and 2,000 shi.
There are 5,000 people in the banners of General Xinchuan, and 18,000 in the royal family. Among these banners, there are 2 people who are more than 9,000 stones, 4 people more than 8,000 stones, 12 people more than 7,000 stones, There are 21 people with more than 6,000 shi and 7 people with more than 5,000 shi. There are only 112 people in total.
100 stone to 200 stone are the lower-level banners. Most of the banners are less than 500 stone, occupying 60%. 800 stone is the main banner in the shogunate. It is not a general meaning to promote from Xiaopu to Jihe. The dignity of the above, can be set up and managed by itself, and the masters of the past have been reused.
The Bando family was truly recognized by the shogunate during the War of the Fallen Curtain, so it became popular.
Even though Bando Hiroko saw his achievements in the information, he saw Pei Ziyun's small face serious and thoughtful, and couldn't help but laugh, and asked casually: "Why do you think that the rebels won first, and the shogunate won in the end?"
"It's too simple, Bando-san." Pei Ziyun woke up in his thoughts, shaking his head and said lightly: "The San Francisco fell behind, and they sold outdated matchlock guns and other old-style weapons very early and bought them in English. Rifles, but the shogunate is not an idiot. He also bought French weapons."
"In terms of weapons, it can be said that there is no distinction between top and bottom. Even the shogunate is slower, but the gap is not very big."
"The key to victory or defeat lies in the formation of the army. After two hundred years of peaceful rule, the descendants of warriors who fought in the wild have actually become the powerful class who feared to see blood." Pei Ziyun's eyes showed some emotion.
"There were few people in the San feudal clan, and the feudal vassals (samurais) had been infiltrated by the shogunate for a long time. They were a bit unreliable. They abolished the basic organization of samurai and established a new army with ronin and peasants as the main force. But you are not afraid of death."
"Although the shogunate has new weapons, it is all made up of old banners. These people have not seen blood for two hundred years. Although it is not impossible to improve, they must have time."
"At that time, the shogunate also went through two major events, that is, the feudal lords assassinated the shogunate in broad daylight. This is described in my "Samurai Under the Cherry Blossoms"."
"Next was the violent death of General Qingzhong, and Qingxing came to power when he was only seventeen years old."
"The old man was a samurai. The new general came to power too young. The prestige of the shogunate was seriously affected. The most lacking was time, so the shogunate was defeated as soon as the battle was fought." Pei Ziyun said.
Bandou Yuanzi was shocked when he heard this, some of the jokes had disappeared, and he looked at Pei Ziyun with a new look-I don't want this talent to be twelve years old, so he has such a clear view of this period of history!
You should know that Himeko Bando spent several years studying this period of history, but he still failed to understand the reason for the defeat of the Shogunate.
"General Qingxing saw that the situation was critical and mobilized Hokkaido's army to battle. This may not have much hope, but the weather in Hokkaido is relatively harsh and the samurai ** is relatively low. Therefore, as soon as he entered the battlefield, he immediately stopped the fallen army." Pei Ziyun continued to talk.
"After several battles, General Qingxing immediately noticed each other's strengths and weaknesses, and issued an order-the order to hold on to the front line."
"Once the fallen shogunate is contained, there are few people, and the weak resources are exposed. After all, the shogunate has a large number of troops and resources, and it is relatively easy to simply contain it. When entering the war of attrition, the 80,000 shogunate will gradually adapt after a **** battle. The war, the downfall of the army is over."
As Pei Ziyun said, he knew in his heart that the history of this world was similar to that of Tokugawa Qingxi. The political fascination made people stunned.
Military is similar. After two hundred years of peace, there is no army to fight. Small-scale suppression of Ronin and peasants is okay, but when they encounter a new army, they will attack.
Of course, what is more serious is the huge mistake in strategy.
Even if the cards in front are all wrong, even if there is no army from Hokkaido, just order the shogunate army, don’t rush into field battles, dig out and follow the wall to route "encircle without fighting, hold on to the wall", you can do whatever you want. Annihilated the fallen army.
The reason is simple, you can’t play, you can always shoot at bases.
Once the fallen army is stopped and cannot break through quickly, its weaknesses are exposed.
It can be said that, knowing this, Tokugawa Kyoshi can easily crush the army to death. The so-called historical inevitability is actually worthless~IndoMTL.com~ So our Hokkaido army's role is only to contain it? "After being surprised, after hearing what Pei Ziyun said, Yuanzi Bando was a little bit disappointed. The leader of the Hokkaido Army is Bando's family.
"This containment is the difference between life and death. Of course, the generals have to wake up." Pei Ziyun said and smiled: "Or, although the Bando family fought bravely, they actually didn't have much record. How can they get it? Knowing and doing three thousand stones?"
It sounds easy, and the general only needs to wake up and stop it, and the result will be completely different.
But Pei Ziyun knew that in the scene at that time, without broad-sightedness and strategy enough, how could he wake up?
"The first generals certainly couldn't predict what happened in the next two hundred years. However, when Hokkaido was included in the development, a Hokkaido army stopped the fallen army, so that the general could wake up and adjust the strategy. Completely wiped out."
"This is really interlocking, it's amazing." Pei Ziyun sighed. At this moment, the entire manor swayed with a "boom".
"Earthquake?" The two were suddenly startled.
