Chapter Thirty-Nine: Ishimi Silver Mountain
For this trip to Nagato Province, Kuroda Vocational High School is still very satisfied. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The first and most important thing was to be able to finalize the distribution of the two armies of Imate Tomoji and Matsui Shigetaka, and from this to determine the general idea of the future attack on Kyushu, and to determine the strategic route of attack first in the south and then in the north, which was the main policy line for the Kuroda family and even the main external expansion in the next ten years.
Of course, if the Bessho family, the Matsunaga family, and Honganji are interested in finding themselves, the Kuroda family is definitely willing to take a piece of meat off their bodies.
The second is to fund the Sumiyoshi Shrine, which is very prestigious in Nagato Province and even in the area of Zhou Fangguo, but has declined. Just as Kuroda Vocational High School itself very much expected, through the so-called edification of Sumiyoshi Shrine, let the surrounding people know the name of the Kuroda family's benevolence.
Kuroda Vocational High School believes that Sumiyoshi Shrine will work hard to do this, and now they are no longer a seemingly useless shrine that has been gradually neglected under the rule of the Mori family, but a source of cultural transmission that Kuroda Vocational High values very much, and can grasp the public opinion and belief tendencies of ordinary people, as long as they are used well, it is absolutely conducive to the rule of the Kuroda family.
This can be referred to the Ginzandji Temple in Tajima Province and the Hachimangu Shrine in Inaba Province, where the people of these two places reached obedience to the Kuroda family because of their belief in temples and shrines, which was very marketable at that time.
The third is to get rid of the scourge of Abe Inujiro more privately, so that the future generations of the prime minister of the Wa Kingdom, who looks like a Shar Pei, will never be born again, which is a very happy thing for Kuroda Vocational High School himself.
Now that the task has been assigned to Imate Tomoshi and Matsui Shigetaka, playing with Ah Shi can be regarded as playing, and he also killed a hated Japanese prime minister by the way, Kuroda Vocational High School is in the Yamaguchi Museum, and he is preparing to return to Kuroda Castle with hundreds of Kuroda family elites.
However, at this time, Kuroda received a personal letter from Yukimori Yamanaka, hoping that he would be able to go to Izumo Province for a while.
Kuroda Vocational High School knew what Yukimori Yamanaka wanted to say, and he must have hoped that the Kuroda family would return the Izumo Province that had been occupied from the Mori family. Yamanaka Yukimori is actually just holding on to a glimmer of hope, because he is gambling, betting that Kuroda Vocational High School will be able to return most of the Izumo Kingdom in the hands of the Kuroda family to the Niko family because of his appreciation for himself.
But he was actually wrong from the beginning, Kuroda Vocational High School does appreciate Yamanaka Yukimori, but it doesn't mean that he will sacrifice the interests of the Kuroda family for Yamanaka Yukimori, first of all, his position is his position as the young head of the Kuroda family and the future heir, followed by the interests of everyone in the Kuroda family, and finally the talent he values.
Even so, Kuroda Vocational High School will never agree to Yamanaka Yukimori's request, but he has always had a good impression of Yamanaka Yukimori, a loyal person, so Kuroda Vocational High School immediately asked Imagawa Susuke, who was sent by Yamanaka Yukimori, to bring back his handwritten letter, promising Yamanaka Yukimori's request that he would meet Yamanaka Yukimori in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle three days later.
The location of the meeting of the Kuroda vocational high school in this place was set in Gassan Tomita Castle, and it was also to show that the Kuroda family was the lord of Izumo Province, and if Yamanaka Yukimori was not stupid, it should be just from this decision that the Kuroda family's attitude towards Izumo Country would be known.
Because the scheduled meeting time is three days later, Kuroda Vocational High School, who has already entered Iwami Province, is not very rushed.
Kuroda was the first to take this army to the only place he was interested in in Iwami Province - Iwami Ginzan.
Originally, a few years ago, the Niko family occupied Iwami Ginzan for a period of time, and grabbed a lot of oil and water. When the Mori family counterattacked, the Niko family listened to Kuroda Vocational High School and destroyed all the tunnels in Iwami Ginzan, and almost died of anger before Mori Moto.
You must know that the Maori family has invested a lot of manpower and material resources for Iwami Ginzan, and Iwami Ginzan has indeed become one of the economic pillars of the Maori family, but it was directly destroyed by the Nizi family, can Maori Yuan not be angry?
Later, in a few years, the Maori family slowly restored the destroyed Iwami Silver Mountain. It's just that just after the restoration was completed, and when it reached the highest production in history, the Mori family perished. Now, a restored Iwami Silver Mountain has fallen into the hands of the Kuroda family.
This time, the Kuroda family presided over the reception of Iwami Ginzan, and it was Li Sanbao who was invited out of the Kuroda family's workshop area, and now Li Sanbao is already the Kuroda family's top talent in smelting, weapon manufacturing, mine exploration and collection, and porcelain firing, and his treatment is also quite good in the Kuroda family. So it turned out to be just a small blacksmith who was bought as a slave, and he was very satisfied with his current life.
You must know that even when he was a blacksmith in the Ming Kingdom, he didn't dare to think that he could get hundreds of acres of land, and he also married three wives of the Wa Kingdom. Compared with the mother-in-law of the Ming Kingdom, he prefers the women of the Wa Kingdom, who are also fine-skinned and tender-fleshed, although they are not so good-looking, but the emphasis is on being docile, and there are not so many requirements, which is really a must-have product at home.
When Kuroda Vocational High School came to a mile away from Iwami Silver Mountain, he saw Li Sanbao with a group of people, waiting for him at the place of the mountain pass.
"Under Li Sanbao, knock to see the young master." After Li Sanbao saw Kuroda Vocational High School, he said loudly, knelt down at the same time, and kowtowed.
"I've seen the young master." "I've seen the young master."
The people behind also bowed down in the same way, although there are Ming dialects and Japanese dialects, but fortunately, Kuroda Vocational High School can understand them, and they know what they mean.
"Okay, there's no need to be polite, everyone." Kuroda raised his hand to everyone and motioned for everyone to get up.
"Master Xie."
"Young Master, it is really an honor for everyone in the entire Iwami Silver Mountain to come to visit us this time!" Li Sanbao hurriedly patted his ass.
"Okay, my Li Sanbao Li, don't you know what kind of person I am? Do you find it useful to compliment me like this? Kuroda joked to Li Sanbao with a smile.
"Young Master, how can you say that it is a compliment to you! You are a rare leader of civil and martial arts, wisdom and bravery, and I think it's not enough to say this about you! Li Sanbao said with a smile, definitely patting on the back.
"Tell me about the current situation in Iwami Ginzan!" Kuroda said to Li Sanbao.
