The Imperial Age with the Resurgence of Han Style

Chapter 215 "Yin Di'an Girl"

Liao Fuyuan, the boatswain of the "Shengyuan", stood on the side, watching Japanese women boarding the ship one after another. Their heads were lowered, and their faces that occasionally raised their heads showed an expression of fear and uneasiness. He held his few belongings tightly.

"Um……"

A low exclamation came from the cabin entrance, accompanied by bursts of obscene laughter.

Looking for a sound, I saw a sailor putting his hand into the arms of a passing woman, rubbing and molesting her wantonly.

But the Japanese woman just lowered her head, bit her lip, did not shout loudly, let alone resisted, and allowed the other party to do whatever she wanted.

"Hou Laosan, you fucking stop! You are toying with my future wife. You will damage your moral character and suffer retribution!" Liao Fuyuan spat and cursed loudly.

Damn it, these women are going to Yinzhou to be married to countless bachelor men, so we can't let the sailors ruin them!

"Liao Tou, don't I suspect that she has hidden weapons and worry about hurting others on the way?" Hou Laosan stretched out his hand angrily, but before he could reach it, he kindly "organized" the clothes on the woman's chest. After a while, he patted her butt with unfinished content and motioned for the other party to enter the cabin.

"Can you find a sharp weapon?" the sailor on the side asked teasingly.

By the way, in this country, no matter men or women, they seem to be not shy about love affairs. It is like having sex between animals, which is considered to be an extremely normal thing.

The reason why the cargo ship waited for so long was because the situation in the entire Kanto region suddenly tightened. The shogunate issued an emergency military mobilization order in Edo Castle and surrounding vassal states in response to the "fall" of the northern Sendai clan.

According to those Qi businessmen and diplomats who have lived in Japan for a long time, the vast majority of Japanese craftsmen and manual workers, such as bearers, horsemen, and rickshaw pullers, usually only wear loincloths or are completely naked during work. Work, with a jingle hanging from the crotch.

Look at the coolies working on the pier. They only have a piece of cloth around their crotch, as if they are not wearing any clothes. If they move a little wider, the work will be done, and they will droop out. It is really unsightly. !
When working from home, some women are said to take off their kimonos and work full-time if the heat becomes unbearable.

Not only did they bathe together, but... they also... dared to walk naked on the street, or walk home naked!
If there is something new on the street, they will run out of the public bathroom without clothes to watch the excitement.

In this kind of living environment where babies cannot be fed and adults can die at any time, the Confucianism transmitted from China has no effect. It is business for everyone to seize the time and be intimate with each other to have children. Then there is no need to talk between men and women. Scruples.

Japanese girls are not only extremely gentle and courteous, they are also very open-minded and do not do anything too much, making men very happy.

Alas, this Japan is so damn gentle that people don’t want to leave!

Actually, it’s not Japan’s fault. Who makes people's land poor and barren? They were too poor in their childhood! Over time, this weird custom developed.

That "Kojiki" describes that when Izanagi and his female companion were shy, they would shout: I want to go in and fill you up!
The female companion shouted: Come on, that must be wonderful!
Darling, this scene, this picture, is more straightforward and explicit than Lao Shizi's "Ci Hua on the Plum in the Golden Ping".

Oh, by the way, even their myths and stories are very colorful, and even a rough guy like us can easily understand their meaning.

At the very least, in winter, Japanese people don’t dare to go out on the streets, so there must be no "light sadness". They usually don't wear clothes in the summer. In hot and humid environments, they are prone to sweating. In order to cool down and reduce the number of washings and protect their meager clothes, they can only take off their clothes to work. This naked body has been working for a long time and seems to have become accustomed to it. Everyone is watching it every day anyway, so what's the point of taking a bath together?
Over the course of its thousand-year history, Japan's extremely low food production and poor-quality food have resulted in a very high population mortality rate. The infant mortality rate is as high as 50%-60%. Adults also often die from malaria, smallpox, viruses, famine, Disasters, and being hacked to death at every turn.

Holy crap! You say, after all, Japan has been bathed in Chinese civilization for more than a thousand years, but why hasn’t it learned some Confucian etiquette, justice, and shame?

The "Shengyuan" was parked at the pier of Shangsong (today's Chiba City) for half a month, with constant wrangling, before unloading more than 400 tons of rice, 50 tons of sucrose, as well as numerous hardware products, leather goods, gunpowder and other supplies After that, they have been waiting for a new batch of "goods" to be shipped.

What surprised some of them, new sailors to Japan, was that Japan actually had the custom of mixed bathing. It is said that several members of a family, regardless of gender, use a large bathtub to take a bath. Even if the father and his daughter take a bath together naked, they behave very naturally.

"We haven't searched the buttocks yet, so we still don't know!" Hou Laosan put his hand on the tip of his nose and took a deep breath.

Ah, how come this unethical custom can catch your eye and get rid of it?
However, what opened the eyes of the people of Qi was that the public hot spring bathhouses in Japan also had mixed bathing for men and women. After being in it, many men blushed and dared not take off their clothes and enter the water, which made the Japanese men and women who were bathing Surprised and inexplicable.

"Then you have to be careful." The sailor smiled lewdly: "If not, you would have been severely injured by the sharp weapon between the woman's buttocks, and you might have lost your life because of it!"

When the sailors heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, and their eyes swept unscrupulously towards the women who were boarding the ship one by one.

This was simply offensive and really shattered the outlook of the people of Qi.

Half a month ago, Date Yoshimura, the head of the Sendai clan, sneaked back to Sendai from Edo through unknown means, and then announced his support for the Choshu clan's proposition of "restoration of royal power" and "return of great power", and firmly stood on On the side of the Choshu Domain-Satsuma Domain alliance, they jointly launched the overthrow movement.

Immediately, the Sendai clan began to mobilize the clan troops and marched towards the Kanto region, heading straight for Edo Castle.

Mizuno Tadayuki, the veteran who stayed in Edo, was shocked. While actively recruiting samurai and local people, and mobilizing troops from neighboring vassal states to strengthen the defense of Edo City, he sent several waves of messengers to quickly report the news to General Tokugawa Yoshimune, who is supervising the war in Zhou Defense.

More than two months ago, a referee decision made by the shogunate "hastily" triggered a fierce reaction from the Choshu Domain Mori clan. Not only did they reject the shogunate's ruling, but they also dispatched domain troops to punish the Tokuyama clan for offending the clan. , openly provoking the prestige of the shogunate.

When the shogunate dispatched troops to quickly advance towards Zhou Fangguo, the territory of the Mori clan, the forward troops were strongly blocked by the Choshu feudal army, resulting in the loss of more than a thousand troops. Later, General Tokugawa Yoshimune arrived with an army of 20,000, and the Choshu Domain retreated to Tokuyama Castle (today's Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture), coercing the Tokuyama Domain troops to defend the fortress.

The shogunate's army attacked Tokuyama Castle several times, but they were all repelled by the Choshu feudal army. They lost more than a thousand troops and were unable to advance even an inch. A month later, the shogunate artillery team arrived at the front line after a long journey and launched a fierce attack on Tokuyama Castle.

After two days of hard fighting, the Choshu clan abandoned the city and retreated to the abandoned Western Kyoto (today's Yamaguchi City), taking advantage of the dangerous terrain to resist one after another.

However, just as the shogunate army was attacking and advancing in the direction of the Choshu clan's escape, the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain suddenly carried more than a thousand feudal troops on several ships, landed at Tokuyama Castle, and launched an attack on the shogunate's rear route.

After the shogunate army garrisoned at Tokuyama Castle was suddenly attacked, before they could organize a counterattack, the Satsuma musketeers with astonishing combat effectiveness broke into several supply warehouses in succession. The military supplies that were successively transported here were almost burned.

The front line was severely beaten, and the back road was attacked by the Satsuma clan, which immediately made the general Tokugawa Yoshimune, who was supervising the attack of the army, a little angry.

Immediately, he divided his troops into more than 6,000 troops, and sent Nobuhiro Sawada back to Hyōtokuyama Castle from Wakatori to repel the Satsuma clan and ensure the safety of his retreat. At the same time, several messengers were sent to China, Gyeonggi and other regions to recruit more vassal troops to attack the Choshu-Satsuma rebel coalition, vowing to uproot these two men and eliminate them quickly.

However, they did not expect that before the war ahead was clear, the Sendai Clan in the northeast also jumped out, which immediately caused the shogunate to be somewhat at a loss.

Are all the feudal states in the world rebelling?
In order to raise more war supplies, the shogunate responsible for commercial affairs and overseas trade began to actively contact traders in the general area and foreign businessmen, asking them to deliver more food, gunpowder, steel, and even ordnance to the shogunate. Further mobilization and assembly of the army and preparations for material supply.

Originally, the "Shengyuan" was loaded with more than 400 tons of rice, most of which was ordered by the Sendai clan. But after hearing the news, the Shangzong Port Minister asked the people of Qi to unload all the rice, and the shogunate would pay to buy it.

However, Captain Qi Guo, who is based on integrity, refused the port's request and claimed that he would not resell other customers' goods privately to avoid damaging his reputation.

After hearing this, the port executive's face suddenly turned livid, and he was full of curses in his heart.

According to the provisions of the trade treaty between Qi and Japan, your country of Qi is only allowed to conduct trade activities at four trading ports, while Sendai Domain is a prohibited trade area.

But you, the merchants of Qi State, treat the ban as if it were nothing, sneaking over from time to time and conducting trade in private.

On weekdays, that's all. In line with the principle of doing more than doing less, the shogunate chose to turn a blind eye to the bold and reckless behavior of you Qi merchants, and they should be ignorant of it.

But what is the situation now?
The Sendai Clan will respond to the Satsuma Alliance and jointly "fall"!
You Qi people actually want to import grain and other materials into Sendai Domain. What does this mean?
However, the port officials did not dare to use force to forcibly detain the Qi merchant ship. They could only order the dock coolies to prohibit unloading the Qi merchant ship, and also sent many fishing boats to deliberately block it to delay and prevent its departure.

After a stalemate for more than ten days, when the shogunate promised to buy all the grain on the Qi merchant ship at a purchase price of 10% higher than the market price, the captain reluctantly agreed.

If we continue to delay, we may miss the ship schedule and incur a lot of extra expenses.

Since the shogunate is willing to give some benefits, let's sell the grain to them.

The Kanto region is the most densely populated area in Japan. Coupled with a large city like Edo Castle with a population of one million, the demand for food is very huge. Almost every day, there are more than ten large and small ships loaded with food. Sail into several ports in the bay to ensure stable supply in the core area controlled by the shogunate.

During this period, many poor Japanese people believed that as long as they went to Edo, they could find a living job, eat food they could never dream of eating in the countryside, have all kinds of entertainment, and live a carefree life.

However, in the end, more than half of Edo citizens lived a "hand-to-mouth" life.

Now that the war has broken out, the vassal states in various places have begun to become restless. The input of annual tribute may also be cut off as the situation changes, and a subsequent famine will occur. The shogunate cannot help but pay more attention to this. The problem of continuous food supply.

When the Sendai clan sent out its feudal troops to fight in the direction of Edo Castle, the shogunate had already implemented food control over Musashi, where Edo is located, as well as Shimotsou, Kamisou, Kai, Sagami and other areas, and ordered the shogunate and some of the three royal families to store grains. Shipped to Edo Castle, just in case.

This caused chaos and panic in the entire region. Countless merchants and townspeople flocked to major cities such as Edo and Kamisou to avoid the military front, which further aggravated the tension in the regional situation.

However, this situation provides great convenience for the people of Qi to purchase some special "goods". According to the "order" demand from Yinzhou last year, the "Shengyuan Hao" wanted to recruit 340 young women.

As a result, the middleman assigned to the task 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 seven years old. The ship owner was very satisfied and gave them all Eat.

In fact, it is not very objectionable to travel across the ocean to distant overseas areas, whether it is a dilapidated wandering warrior or a country woman with no food and clothing.

Over the years, many people who have gone abroad have sent news to their families through various channels, saying that their lives are very good. After working hard for more than ten years, they not only have enough food and clothing, but also get married and have children. There are even people who return home in fine clothes with the status of Qi people on their heads, and take their relatives back overseas to enjoy a better life.

After hearing (seeing) this kind of situation, townsfolk in the city or farmers in the countryside all feel envious and yearn for it.

However, although the shogunate opened several treaty ports, the isolation order once issued was still effective for the majority of Japanese people, and they were prohibited from leaving the country at will. This time, it stopped the thoughts of most people.

Well, since the vast majority of Japanese cannot leave the country, there is always a small group of people who can board the merchant ships of the Qi people through various secret channels and travel across the ocean to the mainland of Hanzhou or many overseas territories.

Those sailors who often transported Japanese, Korean, and even Qin women to Yinzhou once jokingly called them "Yin Di'an women."

The woman is here, Yin Di is safe!
