Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1814 The Enthusiastic People of Nambatsu
Sharks are infested these years. The fleet is sailing on the sea, followed by groups of sharks waiting for food. After chopping up large pieces of fish and throwing them into the sea, you can see sharks swarming through the clear water. And to, competing to devour.

The cluster of arrows is made into an exaggerated barbed harpoon, with a rope tied to the tail, fired from the bed crossbow on the boat, casually shooting towards the place where the sharks gather in the sea, one can shoot a shark, and then use the winch to winch the rope No matter how hard the shark struggles, it cannot get rid of the harpoon shot into it. Finally, exhausted, it is caught on the deck, waiting to be disembowelled.

The rest of the sharks would not run away in fright. They chased the blood of their own kind, trying to feast on the flesh and blood of their own kind, but they rushed to kill one by one.

Soon, scarlet shark blood rippled on the surface of the sea...

The deck is full of captured sharks, bloody and fishy.

The soldiers held short knives, cut off the shark's fin neatly, then disemboweled the shark, kept the liver for use, and discarded the rest of the internal organs, and then cut the fish into thin strips. It is salted, and after arriving on the shore, it is dried into meat, which can be cooked in soup, stir-fried, or steamed.

Shark liver is the raw material for extracting cod liver oil. Since the establishment of the Royal Navy, cod liver oil has become the standard food for soldiers.These soldiers have been practicing, sailing, and fighting at sea for many years, and they must pay attention to nutritional supplements, otherwise the loss of personnel will be serious.

Fortunately, the navy has won consecutive battles and victories in the past two years, and its influence has spread to every corner of the ocean. It can be said that it is the most "lavish" among the various arms of the Tang Dynasty. Supplementing food on the shore can attract the envy and hatred of the army's top soldiers...

The status of the navy is very high among the people. Almost all men in the Tang Dynasty are proud of being able to be a navy soldier. The food, clothing, weapons and equipment of the navy are envied and yearned for. Therefore, every navy Cod liver oil, which must be eaten every day, has attracted common people and even aristocratic families to flock to it.

The refining of cod liver oil is very simple. Shark liver is chopped and steamed directly on the steamer, and then the steamed turbid oil-water mixture is left to stand for a period of time. The clear oil on the top is cod liver oil.

This even opened up an open source project for the navy. Although cod liver oil is good, it cannot be eaten as a meal. Fang Jun ordered people to hire dozens of wandering doctors in the south of the Yangtze River to vigorously promote the various benefits of cod liver oil. Treating night blindness, helping the elderly to supplement calcium to improve osteoporosis, accelerating the development of children's bones and teeth... Anyway, there is nothing in the sky, and then there are shops in major towns in the south of the Yangtze River, selling at high prices.

It’s just that the scale of the Navy’s shark hunting is limited, and they cannot be refined in large quantities. The lofty goals of improving the quality of the people cannot be achieved. Keep every penny.

Improved salary, adequate nutrition, hard training, excellent weapons, high morale...

The best virtuous circle has been formed within the navy, and its combat power has been continuously improved.

The cavalry, infantry and other arms are certainly envious and jealous, but the navy itself has special conditions and cannot be replicated. All the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are drooling at the sight of the navy's daily progress, looking at the high morale and fierce fighting power with red eyes, But also can't imagine.

For overseas countries, the Royal Navy is an invincible existence. The various victories in Nanyang have already shocked everyone, and it has even been rendered by the people as an invincible and invincible army. When the circle arrived at Nambajin, there were civilian slaves from the Japanese country who kowtowed to the naval ships from afar on the shore...

The Japanese are inferior and cruel, but they also admire the strong, which shows the clue.

At the wharf of Nanbajin, there were still soldiers left by Wang Xuance to support them. The fleet docked, and Fang Jun and the soldiers disembarked, and they were taken to Tianwang Temple not far from here.

It is said that this temple was built by Prince Shotoku. Prince Shotoku, who believed in Buddhism, led his loyal minion Sogamako to fight against the conservative Moriya of Monobe. After winning this battle, they built temples and built golden bodies for the four great kings. Later, with the great help of the Soga family, the Monobe clan was wiped out, and Buddhism became popular throughout the country. Prince Shotoku also kept his promise and built this temple... …

Tennoji Temple is built on a hill called Huangling not far from Nanbajin. The terrain is not high, surrounded by trees and streams, and the scenery is very beautiful.The central gate, pagoda, golden hall, and lecture hall of Tianwang Temple are arranged in a straight line from north to south. This kind of blue layout imitates the architectural style of China at that time, which makes Fang Jun feel quite friendly.

Unlike the temples all over the world that escape from the mortal world and don't care about the secular world, Tennoji has more symbolic and political significance.At the beginning of its establishment, four institutional systems were set up. In addition to the Taoist temple "Jingtianyuan" for teaching and practicing, there were also "Pharmaceutical Hospital" for distributing porridge and medicine to patients, "Healing Hospital" for taking in patients, and "Hospital for the Elderly". Almost every day, there are believers who benefited from the weak "Sorrow Field Temple" and praised the Prince Shotoku.

Fang Jun was very dissatisfied looking at the temple that was still full of incense even after being stationed by the Tang army. Not to mention that the safety of people coming and going was not guaranteed, and the air surrounded by incense was not good. He immediately ordered all the monks in the temple to be expelled. A steamed bun made them find another job, and then closed the monastery to act as a temporary government office.

As for the civilian slaves who gathered on the pier at the foot of the mountain to protest, Fang Jun waved his hand, and Tang Jun beat them with sticks and drove them away. Occasionally, one or two stubborn people would be found inexplicably missing by neighbors, relatives and friends the next day. People, dead but not corpses...

At first, Tang Jun was a little worried about this. After all, this is the territory of the Japanese people. Wouldn't it be troublesome if such arbitrariness arouses public resentment?

But everyone was relieved at random. The expected fierce resistance did not appear at all. Facing the aggressive Tang Jun with force and domineering style, the Japanese were more obedient than rabbits with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes. Take out rice, grain, meat and vegetables and sell them to Tang Jun to earn money.

Even Fang Jun sighed, looking at the enthusiastic Namba Tsuwa people, he couldn't help but think of the legendary army in his previous life...

The Fourth Division is one of the oldest divisions in the Japanese army, and it is composed of vegetable vendors in Osaka.

According to the establishment, the Fourth Division is a well-known Type A division, the main combat force, with four regiments under its jurisdiction, equipped with first-class weapons and equipment, and can be called the "elite" of the Japanese army.However, not long after it was established, the reputation of being "a wimp" spread throughout the Japanese army, especially the core force of the Fourth Division, the Eighth Wing. The Eighth Regiment "nickname...

Later, the Fourth Division was assigned to the Kwantung Army sequence. Just as the Soviet Union and Japan were fighting at Nomenkan on the Sino-Mongolian border, the Kwantung Army mobilized troops to participate in the battle. As a result, from Hailar to Nomenkan, the second division walked for 4 days, and the fourth division The regiment walked for 8 days, and a large number of people fell behind.

Coincidentally, on the day the advance team of the Fourth Division arrived at the front line, Su and Ri announced a truce...

When the news came, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division who were left behind quickly followed up as if they had taken a powerful pill. Even many officers and soldiers who stayed behind rushed to the front line with "sickness", complaining in great frustration that they had no chance to fight a battle.

So on the return journey, the fully loaded and energetic Fourth Division became the most powerful unit in the Japanese army, while the Second Division, which rushed to the battlefield first, lost its armor and armor, was full of wounded soldiers, and its morale was low... …

At that time, the parting speeches of various divisions of the Japanese army had their own characteristics. For example, the second division, when the battle situation was good, said "Lucky for a long time"; At that time, it was often said "to protect the body and cut the body", does this mean the temple?Translated, it means "Take care of your body", "The body is the most important", or simply "Save your life first"...

The sloppy military discipline of the Fourth Division became a major problem for the top Japanese army. Even Fengfumi Yamashita, who was nicknamed "Malay Tiger", once served as the division commander, could not do anything about the free and undisciplined Fourth Division.

When Japan surrendered, the [-]th Division was resting near Bangkok, Thailand. Unlike other Japanese troops who refused to accept the fate of defeat and had their soldiers cut open from time to time, the [-]th Division surrendered and returned home very quickly and smoothly.When all the ruddy and healthy officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division appeared in the Japanese port, the malnourished and haggard local Japanese were very surprised.

According to statistics, the Fourth Division is the unit with the least number of deaths and the most complete preservation of equipment and materials in the Japanese Southern Army.

The U.S. Army's evaluation of this division is "peace-loving"...

The Fourth Division also immediately showed this "characteristic". On the second day after returning to China, some officers and soldiers ran to the US barracks, neatly set up stalls, and started selling war souvenirs.

Looking at the Japanese people in front of them who are constantly selling souvenirs, Fang Jun is also amazed. From Nanbajin to Osaka, what remains unchanged is the eternal belief of the people of Osaka to make a fortune...

How can such peace-loving people impose their blades on themselves?

It must be cultivated well, so that they can travel to every inch of the land of the Japanese country, and bring the prosperity, prosperity and invincibility of the Tang Dynasty to every Japanese talent...
