If you see this, I really want to thank you. I've been working on a project for a few months now that's about a somewhat generic fantasy world (Elves, Orks, etc) set in a world in the general WW1 era, and one of the more unique country ideas I had was a confederation of petty armies that secured a bunch of islands in a vital spot for human civilization, so I was using the samurai as inspiration for this country in general terms. I found your channel recently and its been a great help in finding new concepts for this country, which had previously been a point of frustration to figure out.

Could you do a video about the logistics of a samurai army or the training of ashigaru troops? The battles are of course interesting but training, equipment and logistics made the battles possible in the first place. Who would tend to the fields when the peasents were drafted? How did they return to their families and how long did they have to serve? How long and rigorous was ashigaru training and how did they maintain unit cohesion? How were the quantities of armor and weapons that were needed supplied to these (for the time) vast armies? Were weapons and armor "recycled" and reissued after the battle?

This is an interesting topic. The basics of all armies are the same. But the titles, duties, and makeup of these armies is in constant flux. Standardization could not and did not occur until formalized states where established. Once this occurred traditions in how pick and maintain all segments of the state slowly develop. Armies are simply one part of this standardization. Even today ranks and scopes of duties exist in some militaries but not in others. Even though titles may be identical the authority and duties that go with the title are not exactly uniform in nature. This outline was as contextual as possible while still taking into account for the variations that are always present.

4:45 / 9:40 / 12:09 - Were all major and minor officers of ashigaru units samurai or were there non samurai officers? How low or high did they go? How common was it? 7:16 - Wikipedia mentions ōmetsuke or oometsuke as lesser versions of metsuke, while not mentioning yokome. Are these the same as yokome? If not, how are they different? 11:35 - At the top it says all samurai had personal attendants. Do these include the lower samurai that were sometimes farmers and the like? Less relevant, in mid to late Edo, did lesser samurai ever decide to dip really low in the caste to merchant to make more money? Was it a big faux pas or was it relatively common in mid to late Edo?
@WritingFighter8 ай бұрын
Interesting, it seems my extensive worldbuilding research, application, and playing tabletop strategy games made this video very easy to follow and retain. I actually made rough guesses as to how things worked up to this point that, I'm surprised, seems correct in broad principle. I can also see the few similarities to typical European armies, but noting I think such armies to that sort of scale were relatively rare compared to the constant fighting between warbands and power struggles in Japan. Strain on resources will do that. I applaud the wisdom (I assume the norm) for promotion and even upper leadership in an aristocratic type society for merit over bloodlines. This aspect of military culture is something much less frequent in Ancient and Medieval history (outside Roman and Byzantine Empire), to a degree even into Napoleonic Wars and WWI. So many horrendous blunders in epic wars can be attributed to clearly putting the wrong generals in charge. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would attribute this to the frequency of infighting and logistical-scale battles in these times of Japanese history, and what I assume is a dedication to study and practical application over religious casting of lots and prayers or political favoritism. Because losing meant a great deal was a stake with not as far to run or allies and neutral parties to call upon. The most interesting to me though was devotion of command to military unit types instead of the absolute command structure in most Western armies. I've played around with this concept before watching this video, but theoretically it would require a very tight-knit, reliable, and mobile messaging system and cultural cooperation and trust. I'm willing to bet Japanese warfare of the period(s) with so much emphasis on cavalry in a more collectivist society allowed for the swiftness and efficiency of this system. Might even be a reason the Japanese struggled with long-term expansion campaigns, because their armies would, in theory, not be structured for long distance conquest and independence of army sections necessary to operate. But when conditions are favorable it works wonderfully. Our modern militaries with such swift transportation logistics operate more closely on these principles meaning the Samurai were ahead of their time and leadership recognized the potential of modernizing come the 19th century and the advent of industrialization in the 20th century to become the most powerful entity in the Pacific. Adapting to whatever works in practicality on limited resources will do this.

@MadassAlex2 жыл бұрын
Organizationally, there's no single gold standard for a European army in the 16th century. They relied on hiring companies of mercenaries. These would be made predominantly of pikemen and matchlock gunners. Professional cavalry was still mostly the responsibility of knights, although they adapted to the context in various ways. These merc armies answered to coin more than anything else. Individual companies had their own officers and command structures, with the total sum of companies answerable to a general determined by the payer. Or, basically, it's complicated and contextual.

So is there in info on the logistics of the Samurai armies?

And I sadly have found little or seen little on the subject. Like where they like the Romans or more like the Mongols? (Couldn’t think of a different comparison so, sorry)

The "metsuke" was retained as a peacetime political office within the Tokugawa shogunate. When the shogunate sent a diplomatic mission to the US in 1860, a "metsuke" accompanied the ambassador, alarming the Americans who mistook the job for a spy. Eventually, the misunderstanding was resolved when someone familiar with Western history on the Japanese side explained that a "metsuke" was what the Romans would have called a "censor."

This surprises me greatly considering how legendary and revered the Samurai are in pop culture and opinion by the common layperson compared to Knights and the Medieval or Renaissance Period. I wonder if the aggressive defenses that have come about by HEMA and Medieval enthusiasts in the past 2 decades turned the tables and the digging into Japanese history reveals cultures that aren't living up to what most expected to find. Or if there's less interest to research the affirmations of what is believed to be legendary and superior. Or both.

Before the Warring States Period, the Ashigaru Daisho was chosen from among the Ashigaru group. During the Sengoku period, the ashigaru (foot soldier generals) were warriors under the direct command of their lord. Ashigaru did not have cavalry, and were generally divided into three types: bow, gun, and spear. There were also special units called "flag-footed foot soldiers," who were not combatants but carried military flags, which was considered a great honor but also a great danger of being targeted.
