Chapter 1493 Barefoot Team

The performance of "London Notes" was very successful, and people were amazed at the art form created by Tang Xianzu, the prefect of London in Ming Dynasty.

On the basis of the dramas performed in the past, there are more acting elements and music, and it is especially important to take care of the people. Except for a few Ming actors, all of them use English, which is easier for the people to understand.

However, there are also performances that use Chinese. The audience pays the same ticket price and can get better services in Chinese performances, such as cold drinks, beer, fruit, and can sit with the real power in England today.

When the aristocratic class and the power of the church are swept away, it is a certainty that the Han culture from Ming Dynasty will sweep the island destructively.

No one can stop it.

Liu Ruguo on the northern border also obtained a large amount of munitions capable of arming the army as he wished.

Including four generals of Zhenshuo, twelve Franglers, sixty tiger squatting cannons, three hundred iron cannons and five hundred Nanyang-made guns, and a thousand catties of gunpowder for these arms to fight a big battle.

Strange things, iron cannons, were mixed in military supplies.

These iron cannons came from the Japanese troops stationed on the western coast of Asia. To be honest, their life has been pretty good these years. Except for a few princes who are still able to lead the army, most of the leaders died in the rare peace of the samurai.

There are also some leaders who handed over their military power after getting old and sick, and some of their retainers and soldiers in North Asia were given land and became big landlords.

Even if they become farmers, they still have the right to retain their armaments because of their loyalty to the conquest, but there is no need to keep the iron cannons, or even the Guobeng carried by some princes.

And this time the Queen of England entered the East, which also made the Minister of the East Army feel very pleased, and Xiang Yingming added more troops, and sent many Japanese and North Korean troops who were not old enough to retire and still able to fight to England.

On the one hand, it is for reinforcements, and on the other hand, it is to prevent Japanese and Korean troops from continuing to increase their influence in the Eastern Military Palace.

Speaking of Uesugi Jingsheng's generation, they have made meritorious service in Dongyang for several years, but Chen Mu didn't want to promote them, and as their desire to entrust land or return to the country became stronger, it was natural for them to send them out to fight.

It should be clear that this support was the vanguard of the Japanese and Korean coalition forces, led by Uesugi Kagekatsu with [-] infantry troops, and landed in Southampton.

When they landed, Yingming made a special trip to pick them up at the port. To be honest...these people really changed a lot.

When Ying Ming arrived, there was a fleet of ships that had already left for Europa. The soldiers were not transported by warships, but all came by Li Yuxi's delivery ship.

There are more than a dozen big blessing boats moored in the offshore, and dozens of small troop paddle boats are transporting soldiers back and forth one after another. Soldiers are densely packed on the beach, and there are boxes of military luggage piled up on the beach.

When the Conch was sounded up and down, all soldiers, no matter they were tented or resting, put on their equipment nearby, and stood in a square formation according to their troops in front of the tent, waiting for inspection.

Uesugi Jingsheng was their direct supervisor, but when transferred to England, Yingming became the immediate superior of all the officers.

The characteristic of the vassal army is that it is humble and powerful. Qianxin drank to death on the road, and his conscription was considered a work-related injury. Jing Sheng, who succeeded him, received the official position of Wei Zhenfu, and was later assigned to Jincheng Youwei after he was stationed in Jincheng.

In terms of official position, he is only a fifth rank, but he is very trusted by Wu Zhongxing, the magistrate in Jincheng.

Because they have no distinction between civil and military, the characters trained as heirs used to not only command the army but also manage the people in their hometown, which is exactly the kind of master Wu Zhongxing needs.

Jing Sheng spent five years in Jincheng, at first he worked as a guard, and in the second year he also served as the chief secretary, becoming the third in command in the county, and later served as a military training officer for three years.

At that time, after Wu Zhongxing conquered Heijiao in the north, the Heijiao people sent a large number of slaves to Jincheng. Wu Zhongxing selected the strong ones from among them and compiled them into Baojia, all of which were trained by Jing Sheng.

The military discipline of Jincheng Baojia is very good up to now, but the Chinese is not very good, because the Chinese of these people is all taught by Jing Sheng.

Wu Zhongxing, the county magistrate, once expressed concern to the Dongyang Military Government that dialects would appear in Jincheng in the future.

Yingming had also seen Japanese troops in the past. The most striking thing about the soldiers from all walks of life was that there were flags everywhere. Fortunately, those flags were basically gone.

Now Jing Sheng has more than a thousand troops who have landed, only a hundred of them have small flags on their backs, which looks much neater and easier to recognize.

Military flags are used on the battlefield to distinguish between the enemy and us, and their serial numbers. In the past, they carried so many flags that they needed a manpower. A large part of the reason was that the enfeoffment and melee brought about the characteristics of lightening the whole, focusing on parts, and small scale.

Samurai and ashigaru have their own equipment and rations. One Sengoku samurai has twelve ashigaru with different equipment, some with armor and some without armor; some with hats and some without hats.

How to distinguish between the enemy and ourselves, and the division of affiliation?
Unifying the country does not require so many flags. Before Japan entered the Warring States Period, everyone used red flags when the Heira clan ruled, and Genji used white flags to fight against it. Two camps, red and white, are enough.

But in the Warring States Period, it was naturally not enough.

This samurai also does not have the resources to equip everyone with uniform armor and equipment, but he can let everyone prepare a piece of cloth.

A military flag for everyone is not only free, but also the most economical way.

It is different now. The equipment of the army in front of Ying Ming is still the same. Since the conscripts were all recruited by various families, even the ashigaru had decent iron armor and iron hats. Nothing wrong with the equipment.

All the armors of all people have iron plates with the word "Yong" on their chests and backs, and the organization is also unified into small flags with support flags and general flags with helmet flags. In addition, only the messengers carry the flags.

Not only was the armor unified, but they also wore military uniforms of uniform fabric and color for the first time. The fabric was approved by the Eastern Military Government and made by Jing Sheng.

It’s not to prevent them from getting used to wearing them in battle. The main reason is that Zhao Shizhen was too lazy to record. For the first time, [-] sets of standard military uniforms were produced by the military government. As a result, the Baojia soldiers in North Asia could wear them. Too big to fit.

There was no way, the military uniforms in the north were thicker, and the soldiers in Chile couldn't wear them, so Chen Mu had to collect them again, pack them up and send them to Spain, and I don't know if they are sold now.

Anyway, the military government gave Jing Sheng the cloth directly, and asked them to make it themselves. This person is also very honest, and he handed in all the leftover cloth for the military uniform.

Very sensible person.

They also really saved fabric, instead of making military shoes, they sewed a foot bag to wear straw sandals, and the ashigaru people themselves weaved them quite neatly.

Now at this moment, what Ying Ming sees is a group of soldiers wearing armor and bare feet lined up. They just got off the boat not too long ago, with foot bags and straw sandals hanging on their waists, preparing their own equipment, according to Jing Sheng's words Say, these barefoot teams are ready to go into battle.

　good morning!
