After the heads of the wealthy clan left, a smile appeared on Zhengheng's face, saying that it was a smile, but in fact, it was just a slight twitch of the muscles in his left cheek, and everyone could see that it was not a smile from his heart. If it weren't for that damn stray arrow, he would have been a beautiful man with delicate features, and the loss of his left eye had numbed the muscles in one of his cheeks, and every smile would have made people gasp. Those who know him well know that every time he smiles, it is the moment when he is most angry and others are unlucky.
The only one of the seven roads that has been classified as a major road, the Sanyo Road is the most valued road, connecting Kinai and Kitakyushu, and providing access and accommodation for foreign envoys. After the Onin Rebellion, several times Shangluoju was on the way to Beijing from here, and the Ouchi clan focused on renovating it once decades ago.
In Bigo country, many castles were built along Sanyo Road, as well as a series of barrages, such as Shenbian Castle and Kamejuyama Castle, all of which were important castles built on Sanyo Road, otherwise with the barren resources of Bigo Province, where would there be such a huge wealth to build the ability to build a big city. Narazaki Castle was built by the Narazaki clan with the savings of a county, but it still cannot be compared with Kamibian Castle and Kamejuyama Castle, which was once the seat of Bigo Province, and Kamejuyama Castle was the base of the Miyashi clan, the largest regional overlord in Bigo Province.
The three castles can be said to be the most important castles in the area under the actual control of Date, and they are also the strategic base points to deter the surrounding wealthy clans, and to incorporate them into the rule of the Date family, as well as to consolidate the rule of the surrounding areas. At the same time, Zhengheng knows that the current Date family is not large enough to divide the troops and defend them, and only by gathering troops together can they deter the surrounding tigers and wolves. Therefore, he ordered the surrounding wealthy clans to pay food and surrender troops, but unfortunately his orders did not meet his expectations, but all of them colluded to humiliate him.
For Zhengheng, this unexpected answer. He was a little stunned, the lord of the Date family, who was invincible on the battlefield, would let a group of losers openly deny his orders, which really made him feel quite ridiculous after being stunned.
Fortunately, Zhengheng is not a vain martial artist. Therefore, he did not agree or deny the practice proposed by his retainers to kill chickens and monkeys, but just fell into deep thought, what made these Bigo people who stood trembling under the blade of the Date family dare to make a decision that angered him, don't you know if you can't make it good to become the next Narazaki clan and the next Sugimoto Xing. Where do they get their self-confidence?
The intelligence of a wise man is able to move acutely into a rational trajectory, just as a prophet can foresee the future.
The person who can connect many people must be a pivotal figure in Bigo country, and it seems that there is no connection in this way, but in fact, there is no meaning of getting off the horse, and Zhengheng quickly connected the intermittent clues. A vague reason was formed.
Masahiro pondered for a moment, then summoned Kusama Shibei and asked, "What is the scale of Onomichi no Machi now?" "In order to compete with the Mori Yuan, Masahiro actively spies for the intelligence of the back country, and due to the disadvantage in numbers and the attention of the intelligence, it is naturally incomparable with the Mori clan, but the general public matter is still clear.
Kusama Shibei paused for a moment, pulling a roll of washi paper from his sleeve. After unfolding, he replied: "Your Highness, this Onomichi town has been an important transshipment port for Bigo Province since ancient times, and it is also the location of the Seto Inland Sea transportation point, it was the starting port of the Ashikaga shogunate to the Ming Dynasty, since the Onin Rebellion, a meeting of thirteen powerful merchants has been formed to implement autonomy here, because the strategic location is extremely important, it has always been a battleground for the Mishima Murakami naval army and the 6 daimyos, and the Ouchi clan surrendered to the Mishima Muramura Admiral Onomichi no Machi on the Kamirako Road. Thirteen powerful merchants were reduced to five, and the Ouchi clan retreated. Mori Yuan came to power, and the Mishima Murakami Navy took the opportunity to seize the interests of Onomichi no Machi, and now the leaders of Onomichi no Machi are Shibuya and Uemon of Oniiya, and they have a deep friendship with Mishima Murakami Shogun. ”
Noyama Masaki's body shook when he heard the last sentence, and he raised his head to look at Zhengheng. Fang Cai asked, "Your Highness, could it be that this Shibuya and Uemon are in the middle of the way, so daring?" Several other important ministers reconsidered, obviously surprised that Shibuya and Uemon were able to connect so many people.
Zhengheng grinned and showed his white teeth, and muttered in a low voice, "Ohniiya, Shibuya and Uemon? He vaguely felt that the words Dainishiya and Shibuya and Uemon were a little familiar, but he still couldn't think of where he had seen them.
Zheng Heng showed a bloodthirsty gaze, his face was gloomy at the same time, and said, "Kawasaki Yorihiro." ”
Kawasaki Yorihiro, who was at the back of his seat, moved two steps and bowed: "The minister is here!" ”
Zhengheng shouted: "Lead five hundred people to Onomichi Town, confiscate the Great West House for me, and hang the heads of Shibuya and the Uemon family in the town after killing them, I want to see if the Mishima Murakami Navy dares to drive the ship ashore?" "He wouldn't watch his spit out commands being treated as stinking fart.
Kawasaki Yorihiro has been defenseless since the surrender of Kawasaki Castle, seeing that his colleagues have repeatedly made war exploits, seeing that Date Masahiro has now become a Warring States daimyo of 300,000 or 400,000 stones, he is in a hurry, and he heard that Masahiro gave an order, where there are other ideas, and immediately responded loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty obeys the order,"
Miyahara Tanba saw that Kawasaki Yorihiro was ordered to leave, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, it is already terrifying to destroy the Great Nishiya and kill Shibuya and Uemon, if you hang their heads in the town, I am afraid that it will frighten the merchants of various countries, and if they leave one after another, it will be very detrimental to the rule of the Date family." ”
Zhengheng squinted at Miyahara Tanba, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was the grandfather of his side room, who occupied an important position in Date's family, he would have been a little too lazy to pay attention to such an idiot's question, and explained a little: "Tanba, everyone, my family raised troops in Aga, Zheta, and Wenda in Bei China, which is considered an outsider to this group of descendants of Zi Bei, and now they dare to regard our orders as nothing under the force of force, and it is difficult to convince the public without showing their fists." Since Shibuya and Uemon dare to have a deep friendship with the Mishima Murakami Navy, and they are businessmen, killing them can deter Zhuxiao Xiao, and secondly, let the Mishima Murakami Navy know what we mean. ”
After a pause, Zheng Heng smiled and said: "A month ago, Tao Qingxian specially issued a decree in order to win over the Yashiro Island Naval Army, and there are seven in it, everyone take a look!" As he spoke, he pulled out a roll of paper from his waist and handed it to Noyama Yoshito.
Noyama Masaki glanced at the contents of the note, his face suddenly turned sad to joy, and after reading it, he handed it over to Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and said with a smile: "Haha, there is a good show to watch now, it is strictly forbidden for unknown ships to dock and moor, and unidentified ships with unknown eyes levy 'police solid materials' on sailing ships, Tao Qingxian really dares to provoke the Mishima Murakami Navy like this." ”
Seeing that all the retainers were gloating and mocking the Mishima Murakami Navy, Zhengheng wrenched his fingers and said: "The Mishima Murakami Navy's life is not easy now, the salt and water army, Tao Qingxian, I'm afraid that the sea will be chaotic for a while, I want to see if they can still be arrogant after losing the stolen goods market of the two countries, and now the military generals from all over the country have strengthened their defenses and set up checkpoints, since allowing people from all over the world to freely enter and leave Bei China, although they have lost a certain amount of tax revenue, they still haven't collapsed, and the salt industry can be maintained, Business is spreading in an orderly manner, and the small fishing village of Kurashiki is gradually prospering, but I don't believe that those merchants who drill for money will give up Sanyo Road because of a head? ”
When the retainers heard this, they were shocked, and they immediately became enlightened, they could have competed with the Shimamura Naval Army and the Salt Satieth Water Army, and the Shimamura Naval Army had no time to take care of him, Tao Qingxian is now adding fuel to the fire, the shipping route of the Seto Inland Sea is afraid that it will be chaotic for a long time, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of the merchants at sea, and the only place to go on the trade route from Hakata Port to Jiezhen is Sanyo Road, but now Sanyo Road is full of checkpoints, and it is even more unsafe than the sea route. Since Bei Chugoku opened up the trade routes, after a brief break on Sanyo Road, the number of merchants increased instead of decreasing, so that the towns along the road gradually became popular, what if Bigo Province implemented the same policy?
Zhengheng raised his head and pointed to the door and said: "The first order, post notices at various intersections, so that the future country will not collect commercial taxes, open trade routes, and the agricultural tax of the land directly under the jurisdiction of the Date family is five public and five peasants, but I want to see if the faces of these people are good-looking." ”
After a pause, Zheng Heng stood up, and said aloud: "Three days later, the Shenbian City will evaluate the meeting and reward meritorious deeds." ”
All the retainers bowed and said, "The Date family is prosperous. ”
Onomichi no Machi West.
The city of Fantou is in a hurry, even if he meets an acquaintance, he pretends not to see it, just cares about hurrying, he has always been calm when encountering things, otherwise it is difficult to become a confidant of Shibuya and Rightemon, and he became the second-in-command of the big Westinghouse at a young age, but today it seems that his eyes are red.
As soon as he arrived at the Great West House, Ichinojo saw that Shibuya and Uemon were directing several men to carry the goods, so he went straight over, ignoring everyone's surprise, he pulled up Shibuya and Uemon out of breath and walked inside, and said to the doorman: "Idle people and others will all retreat!" ”
The doorman was quite surprised to see what happened to the always calm and relaxed Shizhicheng, and saw that the big boss did not object and retreated, but they were all wondering in their hearts. Shibuya and Uemon walked as they walked and asked anxiously, "How is it?" What the hell is going on? ”
Ichinojo's face was pale and sweaty, and he said, "Woe to me, Admiral Date sent his generals to lead a large army to kill Onomichi no Machi. ”
Shibuya and Uemon raised their heads, where did they think that things that had been determined would change like this, and said, "Didn't I let you go to Najin?!" How could such a calamity still happen, and how did he know that we were hindering it? ”
Ichizhicheng took a deep breath and persuaded: "Boss, let's go to the sea to hide first!" ”
Shibuya and Uemon were about to ask a detailed question, when they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and blades clashing from the street, and the gate of the Nishiya stopped advancing, and a rough voice immediately sounded at the gate: "Date retainer Kawasaki Yorihiro is ordered by His Highness to arrest Shibuya and Uemon, as well as relatives and henchmen. Anyone who makes a fool of himself will be killed! Each searched carefully, and did not go to Shibuya and Uemon. (To be continued.)
