Since Japan was going to take the blame, it was naturally impossible to be unprepared. So Malin called Gan Fu Shuizi over and planned to officially start the puppet plan, intending to let Gan Fu Shuizi take their son Gan Fu Nobunaga to Japan to participate in the battle for hegemony by the princes.

But Gan Fu Shuizi refused:

"Husband, I am very grateful for your willingness to make my son Nobunaga the general (the leader of the Japanese shogunate is called the general). However, Nobunaga is too young and is not yet one year old. And if the child returns from here to Japan, if the child is too young, he will easily die in the middle. After all, the child is not as capable as an adult on a boat! Therefore, I decided to take Nobunaga back to China and participate in the battle for hegemony when Nobunaga is 5 years old!"

But Marin didn't want to wait for five years, so he asked:

"What should we do in the past 5 years? We can't do nothing, right? In 5 years, we can do a lot of things. It's a pity to waste it!"

After thinking for a while, Ganfu Shuizi suggested:

"Husband, among the four close friends of Wu Ji, chess pieces, books and paintings, chess pieces have been studying various chess recipes and battle formations since childhood, and have a little understanding of military tactics. Shu Zi is more proficient in government affairs. Before suffering from trouble at home, many of my official duties in my family were also helped by Shu Zi. In this way, I and Nobunaga will go back in a few years. However, I can send chess pieces and books to go back first, and lead the team in advance, and promote my reputation, indicating that Nobunaga has ambition to participate in the national war!"

Malin was very worried about letting the two maids do this. But Gan Fushuizi repeatedly guaranteed that the loyalty of the four major Wu Ji was absolutely reliable. Even if they almost died in trouble, they never abandoned them. Moreover, in ancient Japan, Wu Ji basically had no self, just the owner's private belongings, and could not have the consciousness of being the master. The four Wu Ji received education from childhood that they could not spare their lives for their family, so they were absolutely reliable.

"Then how do I recruit this man? Although I can send troops to help them capture territory. However, if they are all foreigners, they may be strongly rejected by Japan. Therefore, chess pieces and book pieces must have an army composed of their own soldiers. Otherwise, they will be regarded as invaders."

Ganfu Shuizi is obviously very familiar with the situation in his country, so he suggested:

"This is not difficult. In Japan, people's lives are as fate as grass. Those samurai may be difficult to recruit, but farmers are very good. It is not right, and they cannot be considered recruitment. As long as the husband is willing to spend money, he can buy a very strong farmer with one or two silver dollars. Those famous people are short of money in order to compete for hegemony. It is common for trading people. Among them, the best business is the business of women. Secondly, the strong farmer is the one who is strong."

"Originally, I thought that only samurai who had been practicing martial arts since childhood could participate in the war of hegemony. However, in Beihai Kingdom for so long, I found that the farmer of Beihai Kingdom and after taking the best self-propelled muskets (clock-spin fires) in Beihai Kingdom, I could easily kill people with high martial arts skills. Therefore, I thought that my husband could spend money to buy a group of tall and strong farmers from Japan first, and hand them over to chess pieces that understand the battle formation, and train them to become a strong army under the guidance of the officers under my husband. In this way, I could participate in the battle for Japan..."

Marin unexpectedly looked at Gan Fu Shuizi - this woman is not simple...

If the control is not good, this woman might become the Japanese Empress Lu or something. So, Marin began to be careful not to escape from his control in the future. Of course, Marin was not interested in anything else. What he valued most was the control of Ishimiya Ginyama in Japan. As for which step Gan Fumiko would take with his son Gan Fu Nobunaga, he would not suppress it. After all, Nobunaga was also his own son. As long as he did not hinder himself from developing Ishimiya Ginyama, let them make trouble.

Afterwards, Marin and Ganfu Shuizi warmly discussed the standard of "tall and strong" by Japanese farmers. But the conclusion made Marin laugh and cry - in Ganfu Shuizi's eyes, he was over 1.6 meters tall, even if he was tall in Japan...

Yes, you read that right. In ancient times, Japanese people were always very short. Nowadays, in Japan, ordinary men generally had no height of 1.6 meters. Only when they were in noble families and were well-nutrition could they grow to more than 1.6 meters. It is difficult for ordinary people to exceed 1.6 meters. Only children of nobles, children of warriors who exercise regularly, and children of wealthy merchants, who are more than 1.6 meters tall.

To put it bluntly, it is caused by insufficient nutrition. In ancient Japan, the living standards of ordinary people were very low. Even if they could eat a ball of seaweed rice every day, they would be considered a very high-end life.

In addition, there was another important reason why the Japanese were short in ancient times - the Japanese did not eat meat!

Yes, the Japanese in ancient times did not eat meat! Since the 8th century AD, the Japanese court issued a "meat ban" to prohibit people from eating meat. It is said that it was because they learned to eat vegetarian food by monks. Even the nobles did not eat animal meat. For example, the famous Kobe beef was only eaten after the Meiji Restoration and Westernization of Japan. Before that, Japan had not eaten animal meat for thousands of years, and at most it could eat sashimi or something.

Therefore, the ancient Japanese were so short. The main reason was that they were vegetarian every day, so where could they have enough nutrition to grow? Even if Japan has a tradition of eating fish, not everyone can afford to eat fish.

But after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese resumed eating meat, and their height began to gradually increase. During World War II, because they had not been able to respond to eating meat for a while and the effect was not obvious, they were given the title of "Divine". It was so appropriate to ask Pan Changjiang to play the Japanese... And those tall Japanese were mostly Korean Japanese...

After World War II, Japan not only ate meat all over, but also encouraged milk. Then, the Japanese gradually caught up with the height. After all, they were also considered branches of the same culture and species as us. As long as they restored nutritional supplements, they could still grow taller.

But in this era, even the nobles did not eat meat (the nobles ate more fish, but the civilians had no conditions). Therefore, the liver and water shuizi said that even a Japanese farmer with a height of more than 1.6 meters was "tall"...

It feels like a group of short men less than 1.6 meters tall to form a large army, and that feels like a primary school student legion... It feels so funny when you think about it...

In this way, the war in the Warring States Period in Japan was no longer as simple as a village chief fighting, but the village chief brought a group of "primary school students" to fight... Of course, these "primary school students" were not bad at attacking and took human lives...

This scene suddenly appeared in Marin's mind - a group of short "primary school students", with red lingering scarves on their chests, each carrying Japanese knives, under the squad leader... Oh, it's not the village chief, and the next class... The next door, a group of "primary school students" from the country, opened a film on the playground... on the battlefield...
