Okayama Town Sends Army to Conquer Ryukyu
Chapter 403 Okayama Town Sends Army to Conquer Ryukyu
It was November 15th in the [-]th year of Tianzheng.
According to the Gregorian calendar, it is already mid-to-late December, and winter has already entered Yamato, and even the outside of Okayama Town has been covered with snow.
There is a 1-stone carrack galleon parked outside Okayama Town, which was purchased by Hideka from Francis at that time.
In addition, there are 400 2 material blessing ships and 300 5 material blessing ships purchased from Mingshang. These 7 ships were purchased by Hideo from Mingshang and handed over to the Seto family who are engaged in Ezo-Oka It is used for ocean trade from Shanshan, Ezo to North Korea.
The 400 material Fuchuan was built in Fujian, where the shipbuilding industry was the most developed in the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the 300 material Fuchuan was built in Ningbo, Zhejiang. They are all old ships over 10 years old.
Fuchuan is a very broad concept. It is the general name of the Ming Dynasty for the ocean-going communication that was first built in Fujian. It can be divided into 6 categories from large to small.
最大的自然是传说中5000料（3000吨）级别的郑和宝船，根据现在科学考据，船长大约是70米大约长22~26丈。
As for the saying of "44 feet wide and 26 feet long treasure boat" mentioned by many marketing accounts, it was first seen in Luo Maodeng's god and demon novel "Sanbao Eunuch Western Records" in the [-]th year of Wanli.
Afterwards, it appeared intact in many notes and materials such as "Guest Excessive Words" and "Yingya Shenglan" published by Tianqi.
It was also collected and recorded by the official "History of Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty, and it is the source of data for "The Biography of Zheng He".This figure was probably fabricated by literati who had no idea of the size of ships. The records of Western ships in the same period often saw descriptions such as "fifty feet" and "sixty feet".
In fact, according to the restoration of existing European sailing ships, most of the mainstream ships in the same period were about 20 feet in length.
Moreover, according to material science research, the wooden keel of a wooden sailboat, no matter what kind of wood is used for any process, the maximum load-bearing strength is a ship of about 60-70 meters.
In fact, it was not until the middle and late 19th century that the length of the largest wooden boats in the world began to exceed [-] meters with the help of modern industrial standards and iron keels.
That is, the Wyoming, the largest wooden ship in history, is 140 meters long and uses steel keels. Ten Zhang" western plywood ship.
The so-called 5000-material treasure ship in later generations may be difficult to appear in the world because of the keel wood material problem, but the construction technology of the treasure ship has not disappeared as the marketing account said.
The British Indian Government Office once recorded a lucky ship made in Fujian in the Qing Dynasty—Qiying. After restoring its detailed parameters and drawings, it became a large treasure ship of 2000 materials.
Don't think that the 400 material ship used by Xiujia is very small. This is actually the main ocean-going commercial communication that was built the most in the Ming Dynasty at that time, and even the Ming army was the main equipment.
The No. 400 Fu boat is nine feet long and the No. 500 Fu boat is eight feet long. They are both [-]- and [-]-piece lucky boats, but they have been called "tall as a building, and can accommodate hundreds of people. If you bow down, the small enemy boat will sink when it meets the plow, and the enemy will be difficult to attack from above, and it will be a sharp weapon in naval warfare."
Because of the special cabin design of Fuchuan, its displacement is only 6% of that of European sailboats under the same volume. It is more flexible and convenient than European sailboats, but the artillery equipment on their ships is not as good as European fur.
这样一艘福船在当时明军的武备配置大致是8磅后装炮4门、1磅以下小炮5门；或者8磅后装炮2门、1磅以下小炮8门、小散弹炮6门种种。
而同时期大小相当的加列战船往往在船头装有一门48磅炮、2门12磅炮、2门6磅炮与其他小型火炮，不纳入统计的回旋炮都可能与“大佛郎机”体量相当。
Of course, all Ming merchants sold to the Xiu family were bare boats without cannons. The Xiu family had to spend a lot of effort to rebuild them. They installed 12-pound gold cannon doors on the bow, and 6 guns on each side of the ship's side. There are 3 pound small gold cannons.
This kind of Fuchuan with about 400 materials can carry about a hundred people, and it can also carry about 250 to 300 non-board personnel (that is, the army) empty-handed.
In addition to the above blessing ships, Xiujia also has 150 Anzhai ships that can carry 4 people, and 25 closed ships that can carry more than 3000 people. More than [-] soldiers from the army can be transferred in one voyage.
For this kind of ocean-going voyage, the small early boats are not useful at all, and they are not even suitable for ocean-going voyages when they are closed.
These ships and troops gathered at the entrance of Okayama Town in winter, in order to transport more than 4000 people, including Kamei himself, to Osumi. After a short rest in Osumi, they were transported to the Ryukyu islands for landing.
Because of the lessons learned from the previous attack on Sanuki without authorization, Hideka thought again and again, and asked Hideyoshi for instructions and obtained permission to launch troops against Ryukyu in the name of crusade against foreign thieves before returning from Osaka.
After controlling Ryukyu, these ships will travel to and from Ryukyu and Okayama one after another, transporting all Hideo's colonists to Ryukyu.
Limited by science and technology in this era, Yamato's land development is actually approaching its limit, especially in Hoki, Misaka and other places, the land is more or less occupied by volcanic ash, which is not suitable for farming at all.
However, Hoki, Misaku and other places have become the new source of immigrants for the Hide family, surpassing Bichu and Bizen because the Western Kingdom has been at peace for a long time and the population has been overpopulated.
After the transfer of the confinement, many people in Boqi will lose their land. If these people are not managed, they may become the source of turmoil in the territory.
The Xiu family has already ordered people to pack and transport them to Okayama with their family and their mouths. They will be raised by the government first, and after the Ryukyu affairs are over, they will be packed and shipped to Ryukyu.
Not only the Hide family, but also Teruma Ikeda's plan to do the same when dealing with the wealthy families in the Osumi country.
After all, what is the Osumi country?
It is much easier for them to obey the orders of the Shimadzu clan than to obey the orders of the current lord.
For a new lord like Ikeda Teruma, these samurai are uncertain factors that shake the foundation of his rule, so he simply took advantage of this fatal event to move them far away. Deliberated decision.
Of course, as non-direct descendants, most of them will be arranged on the Amami Islands, and the main island of Ryukyu must be controlled by the Xiu family.
There are no important resources there, but there is a lot of land, which is most suitable for the Yamato wealthy family who only know basic agriculture, fishing and hunting.
The retainers of Yuxi's family have long been accustomed to the Xiu family's unconstrained thinking, only Changchuan Zhenqin took a deep look at the Xiu family, and couldn't help complaining.
"Sure enough, you can't trust Your Highness too much. A few days ago, you promised us that you will not raise troops in the coming year. Only a few days later, you set off for Ryukyu with 3 reserve teams. Fortunately, I only mobilized on a small scale. If you have the power of the people, otherwise you won’t be able to set off a storm.”
Before setting off, Xiujia naturally had to say some impassioned words to the soldiers who went out into battle, such words as the Ryukyu king's disobedience and resistance to the heavenly soldiers were basic operations.
But no matter how educated the vernacular is, those soldiers and warriors can't understand it. For them, the so-called righteousness is not as real as the reward.
Xiujia just emphasized that those who achieved military merits in the Battle of Ryukyu can get double the military rewards in Ryukyu.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. According to Ukido’s military service status, ordinary ashigaru needs to chop off 5 heads to become a samurai and own 10 stone handed down land. Otherwise, the land is just an open field temporarily leased to you by the daimyo. After your death is to be re-divided.
For an ordinary samurai, to become the head of the Ashgaru group and obtain hundreds of stones of land requires accumulatively killing 12 levels in several battles. Based on the average level 3-4 per battle, it takes several battles up.
As for the low-level warriors of each squad and squadron, if they want to get promoted, they have to not only win, but also need to lead the entire squad to win the surplus.
But in war, soldiers fall into the ground, and they die and survive. No one knows whether they will be buried in the hands of others in the next battle.
Nowadays, with the continuous communication between Yamato and the outside world, the number of iron cannons equipped by various daimyos continues to increase, and the samurai also understand that all living beings are equal in front of the iron cannons in the past martial arts and killing techniques. Getting promoted is getting harder and harder.
Now that the Xiu family is offering double the rewards, it is undoubtedly telling them that the effort to obtain the same amount of handed down land will be halved, which of course will arouse their enthusiasm.
It was only a small battle with 3 reserve teams, and there was no need for Xiujia to come out to see him off in person. Firstly, it was because this battle took away the best surface ships of Ukido's navy, and even temporarily borrowed the Seto family. The ships of the Zhenghai merchants cannot be ignored by the Xiu family.
The second reason is that Xiujia publicly announced the rewards of the Battle of Ryukyu this time, not only to the soldiers of the three reserve teams who participated in the battle, but also to the ashigaru of the various reserve teams in Ukita.
This time, Tsugabe and Tsuyamabi, led by Kamei Fusaki in Ryukyu, are composed of Bizen and Mizusa's ground attendant Ashgaru respectively. They will make the previous samples, and after the Ryukyu land is allocated, they will naturally stimulate the leaders. Other samurai and peasants who were willing to venture out chose to receive the land of Ryukyu after the war, in order to obtain rewards that were twice that of the native land.
And this strategy showman can also be used to immigrate to Ezo.
In the past, the Xiu family immigrated to Ezo were all refugees. They had no land and no property, and staying on the land was a disaster. No one cared where they went.
On the contrary, their absence from the land is what the people care about.
However, as the Xiu family deepened its control over the Kibi Seven Kingdoms, some refugees were sent to the mountains to reclaim canyons or wasteland on hillsides to make terraces, and a small number of refugees were also sent to Ezo. Transferring out to develop colonies can only rely on temptation.
The reason why Hideka chose Ryukyu as the first place to lure them instead of the partially developed Ezo is that the land of Ryukyu is moist and fertile, which is more suitable for the farming habits of the Yamato people.
The waterways planted by Yamato can still be planted on the Ryukyu islands.
Even those samurai who chose to entrust Ryukyu to Ryukyu will find that the local serfs of Ryukyu are more obedient than the farmers in Yamato.
Because they have already been enslaved by the Ryukyu nobles for thousands of years, and the Ryukyu nobles value only part of their property, and they are lowly tool people.
On the contrary, the arrival of the Xiu family planted the seeds of civilization in them, allowing them, a group of "untouchables", to have the concept of "human" for the first time.
In other words, if the samurai are transferred to Ryukyu, they will find that it is very easy and relaxed to be entrusted with foreign territories. Not only are the people in the new collars more obedient, but they can also obtain more land and become Great noble.
But Ezo is different. Because Ezo is located in the north, 6 of them are covered with ice and snow every year. Land reclamation is a very difficult thing, and land returns to wasteland every year.
Even if you don't do anything, if you live inside the house in winter, you may be crushed inside the house due to the thick snow.
If Ryukyu is heaven, Ezo is hell, even if Hideka offers double or triple rewards, they will be discouraged.
Therefore, the Xiu family chose Ryukyu to lure the samurai to colonize. It is to plant in their minds that choosing to go to a distant country for a new territory can get cheaper, and there is a good impression there.
In this way, after the Ezo colonization was opened up, it was much easier to deceive. On the contrary, the samurai who felt the bitter cold of Ezo came back to Okayama to publicize the various disadvantages of the colonization, and no one even wanted to go to Ryukyu.
Before setting off, Xiujia also deliberately pulled Kamei Izumo and said, "You must take good care of the more than 600 samurai children. Although I promoted them to be samurai, many of them have not participated in the war as samurai in the past. Pass.
They will be the cornerstone of our control of Ryukyu and an important part of my strengthening of my rule over Ryukyu. If there is too much damage, there is no need for you to come back to see me. "
The Xiu family has mentioned this matter to him over and over again, and of course he has understood that in the eyes of the Xiu family, those children of the Wu family who had no right to inherit are baby lumps for the colonization of Ryukyu. their safety.
This trip to Ryukyu was a big gamble for the Xiu family. All his knowledge of Ryukyu came from the compilation of historical materials of later generations.
Historically, Ryukyu still used stone weapons, and only the nobles could use iron weapons imported from the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't make a conclusion as to whether the Ryukyu's armaments in this life were so lax.
Xiujia stayed at the port until Kamei Tomoki boarded the Clark sailboat and disappeared from Xiujia's eyes. Then Xiujia put down the seeds of worry for a while and returned to Shishan City Honmaru with a guard of honor.
After returning to Stone Mountain City, the Xiu family will prepare for the big event in their life next month.
Of course, before going to Osaka, Hideo would also summon the Seto family who returned from Ezo while taking advantage of the ocean currents, and Master Xuanzhu who had been guarding Ezo for many years, and asked them about the current situation of Ezo, in order to make a new plan before he left. layout.
In other words, after not seeing Master Xuanzhu for so many years, the Xiu family almost forgot his real name.
