I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Ogata and the shogunate forces broke out into full-scale conflict, in order to facilitate everyone to substitute for the plot of the book. The author Jun specially opened up this non-paid science chapter, and here is a brief introduction to the military system of the Edo period.

The author first mentions to everyone:

[All the information in this chapter was found by the author by looking through the Internet and books. There may be some errors. After all, the author is not a professional scholar, and the information found is also diverse (Leopard Headache Cry.jpg).

If there is something wrong, you can mention it, but don’t say anything that is hard to hear, everyone gets along well~]

Kaizong Mingyi——Don’t overestimate that it has been the third year of Kansei (1791 AD), and there are only 70 years left before the end of the Edo Shogunate (destroyed in 1868).

After you have listened to the author's introduction to the military system of the Edo period, you will feel that-Ogata alone in the first army camp, it does not seem to be an exaggeration.

First of all-the shogunate in the Edo period was basically [the kind of standing army that everyone remembers that it didn't do anything except military training].

In the Edo period, the one that could barely be regarded as the standing army was an organization called [Sanbanzu]. Although barely considered a standing army, the number is extremely small.

I'll talk about it in detail after "Sanfanzu".

If there is a war, for example, the shogunate intends to mobilize troops against the Red Moon Fortress in this book, then the shogunate will mobilize the Kibmoto samurai and the royal family samurai who are directly under the general.

The author only found information about the Kuanyong period (1624-1643).

According to the military service regulations of the shogunate, during the Kanei period, for every Kibmoto samurai earned 500 shi, 13 soldiers were sent into the military. In other words, during the Kanei period, the Kibmoto samurai with a year of 5,000 shi had the obligation to mobilize 130 soldiers to participate in the war.

The author didn't find out how much military service the Yu Family Samurai was responsible for.

This is the origin of the proverb "Eighty Thousand Horses at Banner".

It does not mean that there are 80,000 Kimoto samurai, but that, theoretically speaking, all Kimoto samurai and Yuki samurai can mobilize more than 80,000 troops.

The soldiers mobilized by the Kimoto samurai and the Yu Family samurai are the main components of a shogunate army.

And these soldiers who were temporarily mobilized might still be doing various tasks such as accounting and planning the day before they went to the barracks to report.

That is to say-the 5,000 shogunate in this book, which accounts for half of the 10,000 corps, most of them are [this kind of soldiers temporarily mobilized by the Kibmoto samurai and the Yuki samurai].

And the feudal army of each feudal clan's theory of crotch pulling, compared with the shogunate army, is even worse.

Almost all the feudal kingdoms do not have a standing army at all, and when they encounter war, they will gather the samurai in the feudal clan and start fighting directly.

for example:

If Ogata is still serving as the treasury officer of the Hirose clan and intends to pan~www.wuxiahere.com~ a sudden war breaks out in the Hirose clan, such as a peasant uprising, the lord will issue a summoning order. Then Ogata is obliged to immediately put aside the abacus in his hand, carry his own knife, and rush to the designated place to report on his participation in the war-even though Ogata has not conducted any military training before.

Therefore, to call the 10,000 generals who are now planning to fight the Red Moon Fortress as "professional soldiers" is really flattering them... The vast majority of them usually don't conduct any military training at all.

The samurai in the era of lenient government are already decadent and degenerate, and there are very few samurai who can devote themselves to learning and studying martial arts.

The samurai at the bottom consumed most of their mind and energy just to solve the problem of eating.

Later, I will slowly explain to you the feudal army of each feudal clan and what is going on with the "Sanbanzu".

After listening to my explanation, do you feel that Ogata's opening of Wushuang in the first army barracks is no longer an exaggeration?

The vast majority of the people in the First Army are not soldiers at all! Many people may be accountants, warehouse clerks, bridge clerks in samurai coats who have not even wielded a sword or a gun...
