A loan of 100,000 tons is enough for Li Xiao to start everything. (Free download of full text e-book)

After Noto settled down, Li Xiao left Kano Hideji and led two thousand troops to garrison Nanao Castle to stabilize the local situation, and led his army back to Viet-Chong.

After disbanding the army, Li Xiao took Shioka Kazuha and dozens of others to Minato Iwase. At this time, Li Xiao’s old acquaintance, Father Torres of the Catholic Church, had just completed the mission of the diocese of Kyushu. The gold ship arrived in Yuezhong.

Li Xiao and Torres met on the same day.

In the Portuguese lease area of ​​Minato Iwase, the newest Catholic church has been completed and construction is officially completed.

This church adopts the typical Gothic structure of Europe at that time, with tall spires.

Li Xiao and Torres walked side by side. The missionaries in black robes outside the church were practising their half-familiar Japanese, and they walked the gospel loudly to the crowd gathered around.

On the other side, in a corner, a missionary in his thirties with a big beard was surrounded by a group of children.

From time to time, this missionary teacher turned magic from his robe and took out a shiny flat golden candy, which was then coaxed by the group of children.

Torres smiled to Li Xiao and said, "Thank you Lord Lord for your care. Over the past few years, many people in Vietnam have converted to our lord."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "To be precise, there are more than 1,400 people. Your church is growing very fast."

Torres looked stiff and looked at Li Xiao. He didn't know that Li Xiao had been monitoring the spread of his Catholicism in Japan.

Li Xiao looked at Torres’s expression and said, “Father Torres, don’t worry, there is no objection to your preaching here. You know my principle. In the words of your Thais, the power of the gods must not interfere with the political power. Everything can be tolerated in this matter."

Torres listened, bent down respectfully, and said: "Your lord, don't worry, everything about God belongs to God, and everything about Caesar belongs to Caesar. We will keep our agreement with each other."

In this era, there is a lack of beliefs in Japan, such as Ichijo Sect, Nichiren Sect, Hokka Sect, Shinto, and various local mountain beliefs.

Without the guidance of the creation of scientific ideas, blocking is undoubtedly the most stupid method for the endless beliefs in Japan.

It's better to unblock it, and then a hundred schools of thought contend and restrict each other.

Li Xiao smiled. His religious policy is that instead of blocking it, he does not tacitly agree with it, and exposes all his actions to the sun and is subject to his own constraints. All text without ads

As it is said that God belongs to God and Caesar belongs to Caesar, the establishment of any religion is based on the description of the world after death.

If they don't influence Li Xiao's real-world regime, Li Xiao is also happy to let them toss, but it is absolutely necessary to supervise them within their sight.

Under Li Xiao's restrictions, the Portuguese and their missionaries could only be active in Minato Iwase, and were not allowed to open churches in other areas.

This Portuguese can be regarded as keeping a tacit understanding with Li Xiao, and has always followed it very well.

Li Xiao saw Torres so intriguing, and said with a smile: "Father Torres, I am very satisfied with your church's cooperation. I am planning to let your church open another church in Noto National Wajima."

Torres listened happily and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Lord."

Li Xiao paused and said: "However, in exchange, I hope to introduce a big tube from your church this time, hoping that the price can be lower. In addition, I want two n's."

"N! Where did you find out."

Torres heard that Li Xiao made this condition, and immediately refused, saying: "This is the latest warship, and we Portugal in West India have not equipped it at all."

n is the Spanish galleon. Historically, according to Sada Miura, he built a 120-ton ship of the same type for Tokugawa Ieyasu. Later, Masamune Date also built a 500-ton Datemaru with the help of Nanban nominee teacher. No.

He sent his retainer, Chief Shikura, to Europe on this ship.

Li Xiao saw that Torres refused very clearly, knowing that it was impossible, but his goal was not here. He knew that the Spanish galleons were indeed not many in the Portuguese trade in the West Indies fleet.

So Li Xiao retreated and turned to Torres to ask for another Caravelle sailboat.

Torres considered this again and again, and finally took into account Li Xiao's face and the establishment of a new Catholic diocese. He agreed, but only one ship was given to Li Xiao, and it was still an old ship.

In fact, Li Xiao needs Caravel sailing skills more than ships.

Compared with the large-tonnage Clark sailboats that were also equipped in Portugal at that time, the Caravel sailboats were smaller in tonnage and faster, making them more suitable for sailing in the Sea of ​​Japan.

He intends to ask Torres to get off the Caravelle sailing boat. He intends to improve his own ship and copy it.

Historically, in the late Japanese Zhu Yin ship trade, at first it was similar to Chinese blessed ships, about 800 to 1,000 shi. Later, for the needs of oceans, Japanese businessman Suezang Heiji began to imitate Spanish sailboats and began to design, and improved two. The eclectic Zhu Yin ship came.

In this way, the tonnage of the Zhu Yin ship has reached about 500 tons, which is far better than the initial Qianshi class ship.

For the Portuguese, an old ship is nothing but a good imitation for Li Xiao.

As for the Portuguese who are familiar with shipbuilding, Li Xiao believes that if there is the first Miura to press the needle, there must be a second one. As long as you have money, you can find it among the many Portuguese in Wajima Minato and Iwase Minato.

With his own fleet, Li Xiao's Li family ocean-going fleet can be achieved.

As a result, the fleet is more than enough to guard Sado Jinshan and the coast of Etchu Noto. As for the ocean shipping trade, it can also start to try.

As long as Sado Jinshan is there, it is not a big problem to support the huge fleet, and the benefits of sea trade to Li Xiao in the future will be even more so.

Immediately for Li Xiao, the financial problems that plagued him can be resolved.

Just when Li Xiao was renovating inside Yuezhong and accumulating troops.

November of the first year of Tianzheng.

After the demise of Asakura and Asai, the miserable Hokuriku Yizongzong who died of rabbits and foxes, beware of the next opponent of Nobunaga, and began to attack the Oda family like a dream.

Before the Echizen Asakura family's two retainers Katsuda Nasoshi and Tomita Nagasaki, the two retainers who subjugated the Oda family, had a dispute.

Tomita Nagasaki is a young celebrity general in the Asakura clan and is known as a pig warrior (a pig means wild boar in Japan and is often used to describe a fierce general).

In the house of Asakura, it is also known as Fan Kuai, a fierce general of the Han Dynasty.

Tomita Nagasaki acted as the internal response of Kaga Honganji's guidance Qili Shurai, and launched a three-thousand-thousand force to attack Ichijo Gojo and kill Katsuda Nagasoshi.

After Katsada's death, Tomita Nagasaki had quite independent ambitions, and he fell out with Honganji, who wanted to control Echizen.

Echizen is the place where Hokuriku Hongan Temple has made progress for decades. Naturally, it will not give up. Therefore, the general instructor of Hokuriku Hongan Temple Qili Zhou Lai and Shima Laizhao issued an order to march on Echizen to the believers.

The Hokuriku Yixiangzong sent a large number of troops this time, and united with the Yuezhong and the believers, and the momentum was huge.

The Hongan Temple of Yuezhong Yixiangzong Liangyushan was honored, and Lianchen also sent Yuezhong believers to the battle.

According to historical records, Qili Zhoulai dispatched an army of 140,000 out of Echizen, and his force swept the entire Echizen.

The former retainer of the Asakura clan, Tosa Morikan Moya Inosuke, and Masui Jinuchi of Katayamakan, under the attack of a kaleidoscope, the castle fell, and he himself was killed.

In the face of the mighty Honganji army, Tomita Nagasaki followed the move of Asakura Zongdi and led seven hundred horses to launch a frontal counterattack against the 33,000 Honganji army that divided the troops into the mountains and rivers.

In this battle, Tomita Nagasaki defeated the 33,000 Honganji army with 700 men, pursued the land of three miles, and won more than 3,000 heads, which is called a miraculous victory.

However, a few days later, the main force of 50,000 troops from Qili Zhoulai's Hongan Temple arrived, and Tomita Changfan fought again and was finally outnumbered. He assassinated himself for his men, and his dream of dominating Echizen was shattered.

The Hongan Temple army kept on going for a while.

The former Asakura family's Ono prefecture prefecture killed Asakura Yoshikei, the last patriarch of the Asakura family, to subdue the Oda family's Asakura Keikyo's residence, Haishan Castle, and was besieged by Honganji Temple.

Asakura Keikewa was taken, and the entire Oda family Echizen fell.

Hokuriku has always won the sect, and Echizen also became the second Kaga and became the nation of the people.

The news immediately reached Nobunaga's ears in the city of Gifu.

The first year of Tianzheng, December 15th.

Gifu Castle is fluttering with heavy snow.

Not far from the castle town, Nobunaga, dressed in Nanban, was observing several open spaces in the distance with a monocular telescope.

Behind Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Shibata Katsuya, Niwa Nagahide, Ikeda Tsuneko, and other important Oda shoguns gathered behind Nobunaga and looked into the distance together with Nobunaga.

On the other side, a brown-haired southern barbarian, holding a saber, uttered commands loudly.

And a foot soldier with a white cloth strap tied to his head was filling the back of the barrel with an earth-black cannonball in accordance with the order of the Southern Barbarian.

This is a large tube newly introduced by the Oda family from the Portuguese, and it is currently being tested and loaded.

The target that Datong points to ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is just a few houses with a distance of 300 rooms.

After correcting the target, the Southern Barbarian gave an order, only to hear the sound of a cannon, and the roof of the house built with hardwood collapsed with a bang.

The distance is dusty.

When the Oda family members watched this scene, they were all dumbfounded.

Nobunaga pointed at the distance with his horse whip, and said to the generals: "If we hadn't bought a big tube from the Nanbarians, then we would have suffered a great loss in fighting against Li Xiao's Hida Yuezhong Army."

After listening to the audience, they all had an expression of approval.

Oda Nobunaga decisively said: "If you want to buy it, you will also buy a bankruptcy. Tell the Nanbans that we want 15 guns, Quanliu, such a big tube team. You will train me immediately. Lu Yixiangzong, I want to use this big tube, and I want this group of monks who have been against me to look good!"
