In the second year of Kanzheng's reign, month and day.

Things like weather always change at a moment's notice.

Yesterday, on the 0th of the month, the temperature was still neither too cold nor too hot. I only wore a kimono to go out during the day, and there was no problem at all.

But overnight, the temperature dropped sharply.

I can't go out today without putting on a few more clothes.

Some people who usually like to go barefoot have to put down their "dignity" and wear thick socks today.

But there are also some people who are very determined.

Even though the weather is very cold today, I still go barefoot.

So there was such a funny scene. Some people were wearing thick clothes and wrapped up like a bear, but they had nothing on their feet, just walking on the street with straw sandals or wooden clogs.

In the Edo period, there was a belief that only country bumpkins wore socks.

The reason why such a concept arises is because Japan has always had a "barefoot" culture.

As for why such a culture emerged, the reasons are more complicated.

Due to the influence of climate, Japan has always been a country with high humidity. If you wear socks for a long time, it will be very easy to get athlete's foot.

Influenced by traditional concepts, the ancient Japanese believed that walking barefoot was good for physical health.

Due to cultural influences, Japanese people believe that walking barefoot on tatami is a very pleasant thing.

In short, due to the influence of different factors, Japan has always had a "barefoot" culture.

Affected by this culture, some people have always been resistant to "wearing socks", thinking that only bumpkins wear socks.

If there is any profession that people are most resistant to wearing socks, it is undoubtedly the wandering women.

The concept that "only country bumpkins wear footbags" is extremely popular among wandering girls.

No matter how cold the weather is, the traveling girls will grit their teeth and insist on not wearing socks. Even if the weather is too cold, they will be too cold to bear it.

Therefore, in the Edo period, there were two short poems by Sawa Ryanagi that were circulated among the people: "The beautiful woman in the city, at the age of twenty-eight, can finally walk in the foot bag", "I have never known the size of my foot bag, more than twenty-seven years old"

load".

In the Edo period, the retirement age for wandering girls was 2 years old. When they reached the age of 2, they could retire and no longer have to be wandering girls.

In other words, many wandering girls can finally put on socks until they are 2 years old and retire from being a traveling girl.

Because I have never worn them before, or haven't worn them for a long time, I naturally don't know the size of my feet and what size socks I should wear.

Atachi is also the kind of person who likes to go barefoot and doesn't like to wear socks.

Once she encounters an occasion where she can take off her shoes and socks, she will definitely take them off.

But she doesn't have the extreme idea that "only country bumpkins wear footbags".

When she woke up this morning and found that the weather was very cold today, she silently put down her "dignity" as a "barefoot enthusiast", put on her socks silently, and then went out with Ogata early in the morning and rushed to

Ryogoku Hirokoji, the most famous fun street in Edo.

As the power center and economic center of Japan, Edo is currently the largest city in Japan. Naturally, the entertainment industry is also very developed, with a large number of happy streets.

Ryogoku Hirokoji is the most famous and largest fun street in Edo.

There are not only a large number of folk art venues here, but also a large number of artists performing their own specialties on both sides of the street.

There are "strong men" who perform performances lifting huge straw bales of rice or large rocks.

There are "acrobatics" who perform various magic tricks.

There are "animal entertainers" who perform animal juggling with monkeys, dogs and other animals.

There are storytellers who tell all kinds of moving stories.

Visiting fun streets like Ryogoku Hirokoji is a way for most Edo people who have a little extra money and some free time to pass the time.

Since three days ago, Ogata and Omachi have been visiting Ryogoku Hirokoji, the most famous happy street in Edo, every day.

It was the same today. Ogata and Omachi went out together early in the morning and headed to Ryogoku Hirokoji again.

Although it is still only morning, there are already many artists starting work on Ryogoku Hirokoji, as well as tourists coming to play.

At this moment, Ogata and Atachi were listening to a storyteller.

Ogata heard that this storyteller's name was "Tachikawa Tei Danraku" and he was one of the most famous storytellers in Ryogoku Hirokoji.

In addition to Ogata and Amachi, there are also many listeners.

The listeners, including Ogata and Omachi, formed a semicircle with Tanraku as the center and listened carefully to Tanraku's story.

Tanraku is currently telling the story of Sanada Yukimura.

Yukimura Sanada was a fierce general in the Warring States Period two hundred years ago. He is also a household name in Japan and is known as "the last hero of the troubled times of the Warring States Period."

At the end of the Warring States Period two hundred years ago, one of the most talked about topics was naturally the rivalry between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa families.

Sanada Yukimura is a fierce general who became famous in the confrontation between these two families.

Not long after Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate two hundred years ago, he launched the "Battle of Osaka" in preparation for the complete elimination of the Toyotomi clan, which was based in Osaka and was the only one that could threaten their status at the time.

In this Battle of Osaka, Sanada Yukimura created the legend of defeating a large number with a small number and successfully repelled the Tokugawa army.

The Edo Shogunate's first "Battle of Osaka" ended in failure.

Because the first "Battle of Osaka" took place in winter, this battle was also called the "Osaka Winter Battle."

In the summer of the following year, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was unwilling to give up, launched the second "Battle of Osaka".

Because the second "Battle of Osaka" took place in the summer, this battle was also called the "Battle of Osaka Summer".

This time, Sanada Yukimura failed to recreate the glory of last year's "Osaka Winter Formation".

It’s still the old saying: Don’t be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.

At that time, Sanada Yukimura was surrounded by some pig teammates who constantly hindered Sanada Yukimura.

At that time, the head of the Toyotomi clan, Toyotomi Hideyori, was an incompetent man.

Also ruling the Toyotomi clan at that time was Toyotomi Hideyori's mother, Yodohime.

Not to mention Yodohime, she is a very famous "brainless person" in Japanese history.

The two leaders of the Toyotomi clan were nothing but mud. With the "assist" of these pig teammates, Sanada Yukimura finally failed.

At the Battle of Osaka, Toyotomi was defeated.

After this battle, Toyotomi was destroyed by the Tokugawa, and Sanada Yukimura also died in this battle.

The Japanese have always admired tragic heroes.

Tragic heroes like Sanada Yukimura who have achieved brilliant achievements are even more popular.

Two hundred years have passed, and Yukimura Sanada's deeds are still being sung.

There are countless legends and stories related to Sanada Yukimura.

Because Sanada Yukimura's popularity is so high, storytellers love to tell Sanada Yukimura's stories.

What Tanraku is telling now is the story of what happened to Yukimura Sanada in the Osaka Summer Formation, the last battle in his life.

"Although Sanada Yukimura fought tooth and nail, he was ultimately unable to stop the shogunate from destroying the Toyotomi clan."

Just by the tone of his speech, you can see his superb level of talking about music.

This ups and downs tone makes people feel very comfortable.

A-Machi is very interested in storytelling. When he was in Kyoto, A-Machi reunited with Ogata at a story-telling stall.

Because he listened so carefully, Atachi's body leaned forward involuntarily.

"In order to gain a chance of survival, Sanada Yukimura decided to launch a life-saving attack on the shogunate army. He led a handful of subordinates and launched an assault on the shogunate army's formation!"

"The shogunate's military strength is a hundred times that of Sanada, but it can't stop Sanada's cross spear at all!"

"After breaking into the shogunate's military formation, Sanada Yukimura pointed his gun at the shogunate's main formation and made a bold statement: 'Kanto has millions of soldiers, but there is not a single hero!'"

"After making such bold words, Sanada Yukimura rushed left and right. With only the BMW on his hip and the cross gun in his palm, Sanada Yukimura threw the shogunate's army into chaos and caused the shogunate's army to flee for more than twenty miles!

"

Tan Le relied on his excellent eloquence to successfully arouse the emotions of all the listeners.

Excitement and excitement even appeared directly on A-Machi's face.

"It is a pity that while pursuing the retreating army of the shogunate, Sanada was hit by a cold arrow due to exhaustion and unfortunately died in battle."

After talking about the climax, Tan Le changed his tone and took on a regretful tone.

"Sanada dies, Toyotomi dies."

"After the death of Sanada Yukimura, the Toyotomi army was no longer able to stop the Tokugawa offensive."
