In the winter of the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, the One Piece of East Asia was ensnared by Wang Bengu in the spring of that year, and the deterioration of the Japanese Kou that would have erupted in history a few years later suddenly broke out in advance in the winter of that year, and the source of everything was the Hachiman ship ban of the protagonist of this book.

The Hachiman's ban on the Hachimana boat that the Date family is now in place was an order issued in response to Murakami's attack after he had a bad relationship with Murakami Takeyoshi when he was preparing for China. As the Date family grew up, the scope of this order began to increase as the Date family grew, but after the Date family grew into a behemoth of the Ten Kingdoms Lords, in order to ensure the Date family's maritime monopoly, combating piracy has become the main task of the Date navy.

Obviously, the Hachimanbune ban was a big deal for the Date family, but for the Zhu Ming Dynasty, which had always regarded itself as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, interested in a policy of a local government in the Wa Kingdom, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor of the Zhu Ming Dynasty would not even recognize the name of the current emperor.

The Date family naturally didn't know that the Hachimanship ban he imposed had a series of butterfly effects, and originally Murakami's navy was not only rampant in Seto and overseas, but also a large part of the source of wealth was to follow the One Piece of East Asia to smuggle and plunder the East Asian seas, that is, to be a Japanese robber.

Because the Date family subdued the Murakami Navy and did not prohibit the Hachiman boats, a large number of members of the Murakami Navy and other water thieves who did not dare to give in fled the Seto Inland Sea, and for a time Hirado Town was overcrowded, and they joined the East Asian One Piece Group one after another in order to survive.

All of a sudden, the strength of the One Piece Group in East Asia increased greatly, and the One Piece of East Asia was arrested, and the rest of the party made chaos in Cen Gang in the Zhoushan Islands. The two armies of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, the famous generals of the anti-Japanese army, met and went to besiege, but they were not captured for a long time, so the imperial court dismissed Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others. Let them be ready to kill the enemy. The Japanese stationed in Cen Gang could not resist the attack of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, and originally planned to escape. Who would have thought that the strength of the East Asian One Piece Group suddenly reinforced, more than 300 warships sailed to the sea, more than 5,000 Japanese invaders landed in Cen Port, and the more than 5,000 Ming Japanese Kou reached more than 3,000 people, and Sancheng were samurai and ronin who lost their land after being defeated by the Date family. There are also forty percent of the Seto Inland Sea pirates who fled and the pirates around Izumo and Oki Island.

At this moment, the Qi family army, which had beaten the Japanese pigs and dogs, had not yet been trained, and relied on the soldiers of the guard to besiege Cen Gang, and the originally victorious anti-Japanese army gradually could not resist the counterattack of the Japanese invaders. The sudden outburst of the Japanese invaders made the other two southeastern talents who were based on the anti-Japanese Governor Hu and his staff Mr. Qing Teng not only stunned, but also wanted to know the reason.

Mr. Qingteng is a great talent in the world, and in the face of such a terrible counterattack, he certainly has a way to know the reason, and he found out the reason from it. I also knew that great changes had taken place within the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom, which had been in civil strife, suddenly had more than 100,000 local warlords.

The concept of a few thousand Japanese robbers stirring up the southeast coast and supporting more than 100,000 troops naturally made this great talent of the world break out in a cold sweat, which is the reason for the asymmetry of information, even if it is a great talent in the world, he cannot know the truth of the matter without knowing the original situation of the information.

There were nearly 1,000 samurai under Date Masahiro and nearly 1,000 samurai under local forces. There are more than 40,000 permanent troops, and more than 100,000 peasants and soldiers are more than enough. However, only 3 or 4 percent of them can really reach the level of coastal defense that is raging in East Asia.

Knowing that there were powerful local warlords in the Wakoku and that the civil strife would soon be put down, that is, that there would be a unified Wakuni government, and that the Hachiman ship ban would also be extended to Hirado, the old nest of the Wakos, Mr. Aoto hurriedly sought out Governor Hu.

Governor Hu listened to Mr. Qingteng's proposal, and of course he was moved. You must know that Wang Bengu, that fool, trapped the One Piece of East Asia and destroyed his original plan. Now he has to decide to wipe his ass for Wang Bengu's patting on the head, and when he heard that there was a strong local government in the Japanese country, he also explicitly banned the Japanese and sent envoys to the Japanese country to contact this force. Attacking the Japanese from both sides became an excellent choice for Governor Hu.

After pondering and meditating, Governor Hu decided to send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom again, the first time he sent an envoy to trap the One Piece King of East Asia, and now he has sent an envoy to the Wa Kingdom again to contact the powerful Daimyo Fujiwara clan. After deciding to take the risk, Governor Hu realized an important omission and who to send.

You must know that the first time Governor Hu sent to the Wa Kingdom to trap the two envoys of the East Asian One Piece, not only did not receive the favor of the imperial court, but were imprisoned. In order to clear up the relationship, Governor Hu also stepped on their faces a few times and knocked down the mortal dust.

Now, one of them, Jiang has been imprisoned for more than a year, and it can be said that his father died of anger, his wife threw himself into a well, and his son starved to death.

Governor Hu's intention to send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom was slightly revealed, and his staff said that they could not afford to be ill for various reasons, and even some people resigned and fled from the government.

Governor Hu found Mr. Qingteng under the face of shame, Mr. Qingteng had an embarrassed look on his face, Jiang was unwilling to send an envoy to the country that day, it was in his persuasion that he went, and now when he encountered this embarrassing thing, he put forward an opinion, whether to let Jiang someone be guilty of meritorious service.

Governor Hu was helpless, but he knew that Jiang hated his actions deeply, and he knew that sending Jiang to the Japanese country again was afraid that he would never return. After thinking about it, I thought of another person, that is, Chen Keyuan, Chen Jingxiu, the deputy envoy who followed Jiang to the Wa Kingdom.

Jiang was imprisoned, and Chen was not good, but because he was the deputy envoy, the blow was much smaller, and Governor Hu was able to take care of himself a little, without a reward, and he would not end up like Jiang someone said, "Zhou was born and sailed thousands of miles, his father was old and waited, and his wife was so frightened that he died, and Zhou didn't care about it, but he knew that it was the effect of the size of the national tree." It is the success of the slander, the merit of the sacrifice of life, than the example of atonement, what more hope! Closed. "Come on.

Under the red face and white face of Governor Hu and Mr. Qingteng, Chen knew that if he didn't go, he would have to go to be with Jiang again, and he would also end up miserable, and in a trance, he had to step on the sea ship to the Wa Kingdom again, accompanied by more than ten guards, called guards. It's surveillance. Governor Hu spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, for fear that someone Chen would resent Governor Hu and never return, so he took care of Chen's wife as a hostage and sent a watchman to accompany him.

Zheng Heng naturally didn't know that his name had fallen into the ears of Governor Hu and Mr. Qingteng, the talented southeast people, and he didn't know that Chen, who was bleeding, sweating and crying, reluctantly stepped on the sea ship that came to visit him in the Japanese country. At the beginning of March of the second year of Eiroku, accompanied by the father and son of Katayama Moricho and Hengcho, he inspected the newly formed iron artillery regiment.

The Date family started at the end of the micro period, and the four countries of Kibi were the foundation of the Date family, but they could not favor one over the other, and the army was recruited in all parts of the ten countries, and the treatment of military dependents was first of all that the tax was five public and five peasants, and the civilian population was six males and four peasants.

The Date family seized Zhou Defense and Nagato in three years, and later took Boqi and Izumo. Tens of thousands of new troops were recruited in the four countries. The Date family seized Zhoufang, Nagato, Hakugi, and Izumo, and swept away the upper class, and most of these tens of thousands of troops were born in lower-class samurai.

In order to train the new soldiers and horses, it takes a lot of time to guide the training, so Zheng Heng came up with the fire gun, which is commonly known as the iron cannon of the Japanese people. Zhengheng, who pioneered the method of catapult siege, never underestimated the usefulness of firearms, and as early as four or five years ago, there was the first medium-sized iron cannon, and the 2,500 iron cannons produced in the past four or five years. Coupled with the five or six hundred iron cannons sold, a total of three thousand iron cannons is enough to show that he is not complacent. In addition to the iron cannon, he is also stepping up experiments to make bronze cannons, but not much progress has been made so far.

Zheng Heng is not an expert in firearms, and he only knows the appearance of bronze cannons, but does not know how to make them. On the one hand, he ordered craftsmen to step up experiments in the production of bronze cannons, and on the other hand, he also sent envoys to Hirado, Funai and other places to search for Yiren craftsmen.

Zhengheng looked at the iron artillery who was training hard, turned back to Katayama and said, "Quan Zuo, can you tell me how easy this iron cannon is?" "Gonsaku is the common name of Katayama Morina, who led the Ping and samurai regiments to fight in the north and south. Now he has handed over the Ping and samurai regiments to his son, Hirocho Katayama, who leads a corps of 5,000 men, including a newly formed iron artillery regiment.

Katayama Moricho was born in playing with short knives, but he was very interested in new things, and he was also dedicated to this newly formed iron artillery regiment, and he listened to Zhengheng's questions and replied: "My lord, this iron cannon is not very easy to use, and it often has the disadvantage of dumb fire in wet weather, but the only advantage is that it is easy to practice." ”

Tsuyocho Katayama, who pretended to be an adult, nodded and said, "It's quite troublesome to use." "He is only eighteen or nineteen years old now, but because he followed Date Masahiro early, he was still his personal guard, became a city guard, and now he is the commander of the Pinghe Samurai Regiment.

Katayama Moricho glanced at Katayama Hengcho dotingly, if it weren't for Katayama Hengcho to eat well, he wouldn't abandon the Takeuchi clan to become a retainer of Masahiro, one step right, step by step, I never thought that a small step back then, there would be a day when both father and son have become the head of a group. He continued: "No matter how troublesome it is, it can be practiced in a few months." Judging from the current training situation, an iron artillery soldier can go to the battlefield in seven or eight months after training, and if a short blade is hung on the top of the iron cannon, he will not be afraid of hand-to-hand combat. Lord, you also know that if you want to train a qualified soldier, you will not be able to go to the battlefield in three or five years. Similarly, most serious samurai were trained from an early age. ”

Katayama Moricho's serious samurai are the children of the samurai family that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they began to train how to become a qualified samurai at a very young age, but he didn't dare to say what he just said, you must know that the Date family is full of a large number of unscrupulous samurai, and there are many unscrupulous samurai in the upper echelons of the Date family, such as the Kusama General Commander, who controls the police headquarters of the paramilitary corps, is a bandit, and the only Ueno Masacho in the infantry is a copper digger, etc.

Masahiro didn't express his opinion on Katayama Moricho's slip of the tongue, in fact, there were already contradictions between serious and unserious samurai in Date's family, and there were also various contradictions between the mountains, such as the samurai from Bichu who looked down on other places, the samurai from Kibi Shikoku who looked down on the samurai from other places, the contradictions between Zhou Fang, Nagato and Izumo, and so on, as long as they were all under a certain order, he was happy to see the existence of this contradiction, which increased his competitiveness even more.

The Date family has expanded its troops in large numbers, so that the quality of the Date family's army cannot be improved for a while, and with the passage of time, the Date family's army will gradually decline. Over time, the quality of the regiment will change over time, as the age increases. The expansion of firearms units is precisely the point that it is easy to train, and a large number of troops equipped with iron artillery do not need to consider the issue of quality.

From time to time, Masahiro and Katayama father and son were talking about some opinions on the construction of iron cannons, and they were about to say something, when suddenly Tozawa Baiyunsai suddenly came, handed over a recital, and waited on the side. Zhengheng was a little puzzled, you must know that now that the war in Kinai is about to break out, most of the time it should be Hattori's father and son who came to report, he opened the report, took a look, and handed it to Katayama Moricho.

Katayama took it, looked at it carefully, and said, "The time has come." "He attended the military meeting at the beginning of the year, and he also knew that he would have to do something to Inaba and Tajima after the beginning of spring, and today he invited Masahiro to come and inspect the Iron Artillery Regiment with the intention of making a contribution in the upcoming battle of Inaba and Tajima.

It turned out that the report was stated. A few days ago, Takeda Takanobu sent his younger brother Matasaburo to lead a 300-strong army to provoke Ashiya Castle, the gateway to Tajima, the lord of Ashiya Castle, and at the same time one of the four kings of Tajima, the grandson of Gakiya Echizen Mamoru Susei, who attacked hastily despite the opposition of the elders, resulting in the emptiness of Ashiya Castle. Ashiya Castle was successfully attacked by Takeda Takanobu, and Takeda Takanshin was ambushed by Gakiya Mitsunari in a hurry to return to the army, and the Gakiya army was defeated, more than 1,000 Gakiya troops were defeated, with more than half of the casualties, and the grandson of the Gakiya family was beheaded.

His grandson Yuanwu Guangcheng cut off his head, and of course Yuanwu continued to give up, you must know that although the Yuanwu family has a big family and many children, only Guangcheng in the third generation looks pretty good, otherwise he would not have been sent to Ashiya City for training.

In this way, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the Gakiya continued to know that the Gakiya clan alone would be extremely difficult to deal with, and immediately sent an envoy to invite the other three major masters, Otagaki Terunobu, Yagi Toyonobu, and Tayusuo, to discuss the major event of rebellion against Takeda Takashin.

A new round of war is about to begin, and the time has come for Masato to cut into Inaba and Tajima. (To be continued......)
