Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 382: Gale will rise

Yuezhong, Toyama Bay. This chapter is provided to you]

The sky ""sè" is heavy, and the last setting sun hangs on the horizon.

The sea breeze was blowing, and several people stood close to each other on the beach, looking around.

Li Xiao looked at the direction of Sado Island in the distance with both hands and hands, and took a long breath over time.

In July of this year, Li Xiao sent Mukai Masazu and Chiga Sun Bingwei as generals, led the Viet Nam Navy, a total of more than 30 warships, and more than 2,000 people attacked the country of Sado.

In addition to the Viet Nam Navy, there are also two gunboats provided by the Portuguese to help.

At that time, Li Xiao was confident that with such military power, it would be easy to level Sado, who was no more than 16,000 stones high.

But in fact, in July, Li Xiao's Sado Expeditionary Army failed in the Sado Crusade and failed to complete the occupation.

In this naval battle against Sado, the beginning went smoothly, and the Sado navy was defeated at the beginning.

Later, the Sado Expeditionary Army landed at Ogi Port in the southern part of Sado Island.

Ogi Port is also the location of today's Ogi Town, located at the most southeastern tip of Sado Island.

However, after landing, Mukai Masazu, Chiga Sunheibei lost control of the navy forces under his command, and it is rumored that Sado had a silver mine, so the people were very wealthy. So after landing, some navy forces acquiesced in their respective ship generals. Down, enter the island and looting everywhere.

Masatsu Mukai, Chiga Sunheibei couldn't control, so he could only lead part of the army that could be mobilized, and continued northward to encircle Umo Castle at the southern end of the island.

Hume Castle is the main castle of the Hume Honma clan. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Daimyo Honma clan of Sado Island has been divided into three. They are the clan of Zatai Castle, the Kawarada Honma family of Kawarada Castle, and Humemoto in Hume Castle Jianshi.

After the demise of the Gosong family, Sado Island formed an opposition between Kawara Tama Honma and Hume Honma.

The home town of Hume Honma, Hume Castle, is located at the southern end of the island. Today’s Hume Town is supported by the control of the port trade of Ogi Port and its own Sado Water Army.

The main castle of Kawarada Honma, Kawarada Castle, is located in Sawata Town, Sado City, Kikunaka Hirano, Central Sado Island, and is close to Lake Kamo, the largest lake on the island.

Kuninaka Plain is where the granary on the island is located. Sado Island has one of the few stone heights, and most of the food income is derived from it.

In addition to the income from food, the Kawarada Honma family also owns the mining rights to the only mine on Sado Island, Tsuruko Ginzan.

With food and Ginyama's two major incomes, the Kawarata Honma family and the Umo Honma family, who relied on income from sea trade, have been facing each other for a long time on the island, maintaining a similarly balanced situation. Maker: No ads, full text, more

However, when Li Xiao’s Sado Expeditionary Army attacked Yumo Castle, the Kawahara Tian Honma’s family seemed to suddenly open their minds, understood the truth of "chún", and decided to abandon the many years of enmity between the two families and gather together. With the family’s strength, he supported the besieged Yumo Castle.

Masazu Mukai and Sunbee, who besieged Yumo Castle, were attacked by the two main homes on the island, and the army was defeated for a while.

The water soldiers scattered on the island, who were robbing their houses, were also counterattacked by local villagers' organizations.

Suddenly, the Sado Expeditionary Force was defeated, and Mukai Masazu and Chiga Sun Bingwei commanded the rear of the army and retreated while fighting. Fortunately, the two Honma clan Kawarada and Yumo had no plans to kill them, and they retreated after pursuing them for a while.

However, in this battle, Mukai Masazu, Chiga Sun Bingwei still lost more than 500 people. In embarrassment, he could only return to Viet-Chong by boat and report the battle to Li Xiao.

But misfortune did not come singly. On the way back, the Echigo navy of Uesugi was intercepted by the Echigo navy of Uesugi.

The Viet Nam Navy was a defeated army at this time, and its morale was greatly reduced. There was no resistance, but fortunately there were two Portuguese gunboats in the fleet.

The Portuguese gunboat fired at full force and finally drove away the Echigo navy, and the Echigo navy returned to Iwase Minato safely.

Li Xiao was furious when he heard the news of the defeat of the Yuezhong navy. Since he led the army, he has not been defeated in the Southern and Northern Wars. Even the world's number one general Uesugi Kenshin has not been able to get advantage from him.

However, his own navy was defeated by a group of turtles from the Honma family on the island, which made Li Xiaoqing so embarrassed.

Li Xiao summed up the reasons for the defeat in this battle. In addition to underestimating the situation of the Honma family on Sado Island, and the navy forces were incapable of fighting on the ground, the main reason was the water from the Wajima navy forces. The army did not follow the orders.

At the moment, Li Xiao ruled the navy with iron and blood, and successively ordered people to behead seven bows and generals who had not obeyed the orders in this battle.

Li Xiao's army has always been lenient, and rarely has such strict measures. This time, Li Xiao's large-scale killings shocked the regiment of his servants.

Li Xiao used cruel methods to cleanse the Viet Nam navy and promoted many of the original Suruga navy to serve as new bows and generals.

It was a blessing in disguise. Through this purge, Li Xiao finally completely controlled his own Yuezhong navy.

Immediately, Li Xiao ordered Mukai Masatsuna and Chiga Sun Bingwei to commit crimes and perform meritorious services, re-training the Yuezhong navy in "cào", preparing for the second crusade against Sado Kingdom.

As the master of this battle, Masazu Mukai, Chiga Sun Bingwei thought he was going to die, but seeing that Li Xiao forgave them and allowed them to commit crimes, he immediately felt "jī".

After the failure of this conquest of Sado, the previous Mingguo maritime merchant Li Dan promised to provide it to Li Xiao, and the two Thousand Stone-class Daan House ships finally arrived in Vietzhong.

For Li Xiao's defeated Yuezhong navy, this is definitely a help in the snow.

Each of these two big-anzhai ships has a scale of nearly a thousand stones. Each ship can carry two hundred sailors. The bow deck is equipped with small-caliber artillery, and iron cannons are fired on the ship's body. The narrow room.

With the addition of these two Daanzhai ships, Li Xiao's Yuezhong navy forces immediately improved to a new level.

These two large ships were considered large ships in Japan at the time.

The largest Atakaya ship in Japanese history was built in 1632, the son of Masatsuna Mukai, the third-generation general Tokugawa Ie of Edo, and the Atakaya Maru built by General Mukai. The captain is only 55 meters in length. It has been called Japan’s No. A boat.

However, the expansion of the Viet Chong Water Army and the construction of the new ship require money. Li Xiao is already stretched out at the moment, and Sado Jinshan cannot successfully win it. This means that the debt he previously borrowed from the Portuguese cannot be repaid immediately. superior.

Although within a year, Li Xiao's development of Yuezhong Feida went smoothly, and the governance of the territory has shown results.

As far as agriculture is concerned, in this year’s land inspection conducted by Shioya Akuzada and Masuda Nagasaki, the three places of Etchu and Hida Mino’s annual grain output have reached 450,000 shi. According to Shioya Qiuzada's optimistic estimate, if the year is good next year, it is expected to increase even further.

And now Li Xiao reported the book data to the Takeda family, but it was less than 400,000 shi.

However, the newly increased annual tribute income is still not enough to stop the leakage of "dòng" for Li Xiao, who is now a large amount of "huā" money.

On the contrary, for Li Xiao right now, the current situation has almost fallen into a financial crisis.

So Li Xiao immediately and shamelessly borrowed 20,000 from Li Dan.

Although Li Dan today has not yet reached the kind of wealth that will be an enemy of a country in the future, 20,000 Guans were not a big number for maritime merchants at that time.

He allocated the money without even having his father's approval, so he generously lent it to Li Xiao.

This money is life-saving money for Li Xiao now.

Of course, even if Li Dan acts as a favor, he does everything in the same way as the Chinese.

Li Dan also asked Li Xiao for benefits. Mingguo Marine Merchants gathered at the leased land in Iwase, which was further expanded, and the rent was deducted from the interest on the money given to Li Xiao.

For Li Xiao, giving more land to Mingguo Marine Merchants is simply no pressure, but this move can promote the prosperity of Minato Iwase.

This is simply an interest-free loan in disguise, without any collateral.

As for the preferential treatment that Li Dan gave him, Li Xiao became more suspicious of the other party's motives.

Could it be that my fellow Mingguo has understood the current situation in Japan, whether it is Takeda or Oda, who is contending for the world, so I have invested capital in politics.

But even if he wants to invest in politics, he should go to Tsuzakikan and look for Takeda Shingen's talent, why look for himself.

So Li Xiao became more suspicious of Li Dan, but he did not say "sè", and accepted the money from the other party, and at the same time, he was wary of any further actions by the other party.

While Li Xiao was meditating on the shore alone, the sound of bulging horses hoofs came from the distance of the shore.

Several of Li Xiao's people approached, watching the sound of horses' hoofs vigilantly.

Li Xiao could only see two horses galloping from a distance. Both of them were holding flags and pointing things behind them.

At the moment, the sun and moon double patterns on the flag of one person, which should be close to Li Xiao himself.

On the other person's banner, there was a hundred-legged centipede, who was directly under Takeda Shingen.

How could Centipede Chuanqi appear in Yuezhong.

Li Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and when he mentioned it from the bottom of his heart, he whispered, "It seems that it is finally coming."

The two riders galloped in front of Li Xiao from far to near, then dismounted, stomping on the beach and hurriedly came to Li Xiao and bowed not far away.

First Li Xiao’s sideline said, “The lord is the messenger of his family. He has just arrived in Fushan City, and there is an urgent matter to report to the lord."

At this time, the envoy behind knelt on one knee and said to Li Xiaoyan, "Master Tajima Shou, and the next one is Qiushan Sun Bingwei, who is ordered by the lord to deliver a letter to the adults. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Li Xiao's approach took the letter from the opponent and forwarded it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao glanced at the other person, opened the envelope ""chōu"" and took out the letter.

At this time, the sea breeze blows, causing Li Xiao's robe to bulge, and the letter paper keeps shaking.

After reading the content of the letter, Li Xiao said silently ""sè", and said to the envoy, "Please report to the lord, Li Xiao will act according to orders, please tell me again."

Akiyama Sunbei cried out and said, "Then I will leave."

After speaking, the other party stood up, returned and mounted the horse again, and galloped away.

After putting the letter paper into the envelope again, Li Xiao said to the two sides "sè", "Immediately return to the city, summon all the retainers above the Admiral level, and discuss the matter in the Tianshou Pavilion. This matter is extremely urgent. Don't be negligent."

When these two heard Li Xiao's words, they both knelt down and agreed. Please remember the URL, if you like happiness, please type "The Samurai of the Takeda Family" written by "mén"
