Mozen Town, which has been renamed Edo Town.

Originally, the land in Monzen Town was owned by Sensoji Temple, but now it has a town palace, and Tachibana Nakaren sent Shao Peng to manage the affairs of the town.

With the new Qi City Naval Army, there were merchants of the East China Sea Hundred Lines, the main goods brought were cotton cloth, Edo Town, there was the first trading house to act as an agent of Qi goods, the owner of the trading house, was the servant of Tachibana Naka, who was also the general agent of the East China Sea Hundred Lines in the lower general area.

Edo Town was also bustling with activity like never before, and the wealthy families of the nearby tycoons, local lords, and Shimokoku Castle came to Edo Town to buy Central Plains goods.

The Edo Qi Merchants Association is on the south side of Edo Town, and this area all the way to the southern Edo Port, is an agreed lease area for the Qi people, and nowadays, many Dongying people have come to settle down, some of them are recruited to pave bridges, build roads, and repair ports for the concession area, they are allowed to settle here for free, and if the western land is reclaimed, they only need to pay the Qi people the seedling management fee, which is roughly equal to two-tenths of the grain income, and the first three years are rent-free, and at the same time, the Dongying people who settled in the concession land get more wages.

In this way, not only the people of Shimosoguni and neighboring Musashi, but also the surrounding Joso, Anbo, Kai, Sagami, and other countries, there are also landless farmers who have heard the news of coming here, and even Hitachi Province, there are also ronin who come to try their luck.

The architectural style of the two-storey wooden building of the Qi General Association is the same as that of the Central Plains, and the Dongying houses that affect it are also used to place the architectural pattern of the Central Plains furniture.

……

At this time, Lu Ning was on the second floor of the club, enjoying Chinese dishes, chicken, duck and fish, and set the table full.

"Eat!" Lu Ning served Huang Baoyi, who was sitting next to him, from time to time, and asked for so many delicious foods, so naturally he wanted to satisfy the little guy's hunger.

Huang Baoyi, a little at a loss, and her happier little face was full of happiness.

In the past few days, Lu Ning has been holding her to sleep, although, because there are others in the same room, Lu Ning began to force himself, but it gradually reached a critical point, and the day before yesterday, Lu Ning finally couldn't help it, and drove Zhen Dongji and Kyoko out, turning this little bit into his own woman.

After all, it was an attic that had just been built with thin wooden boards, and Lu Ning could hear the voice of the opposite room clearly.

It is Tachibana Michigan, the eldest son of the great monk Rong Zhenda and Tachibana Nakato.

Tachibana is not yet twenty years old, but he is very talented and trusting his father.

Rong really wants to believe in orange and persuade his father to make up his mind, what can't "Shangluo" do?

Heiankyo, when the capital was moved from Nara, was divided into two large areas, one area called Chang'an and the other area called Luoyang, and gradually, Luoyang became synonymous with Heiankyo.

For the daimyo of the Warring States period, "Joraku" was the dream of every daimyo to lead the army into Kyoto, gain the authority to dominate the emperor and ministers, and become the overlord of the world.

Listening to the conversation between Rong Zhen and Tachibana Daoxin, Lu Ning couldn't help but glance at the real Dong Ji standing beside him.

Speaking of which, Tachibana Zhongren seemed to have completely forgotten about this daughter, and he didn't mention it at all.

Just went upstairs, Madong Ji also saw his brother, but as if he didn't see it, he passed by him.

These ministers of the ancient emperor's bloodline seem to be very deformed in their thoughts, many people are drunk and dreaming of death, and they don't even care about things outside the house, and many people are ambitious but psychologically dark, in short, they are not normal people.

The great monk Rong Zhen was telling Tachibana Michinobu that in order to "go to Luo", the first thing was to cut off the cancer that was in the next general strategy, that is, the power of Gen Manchu in the Changlu country, seize the control of the Changlu country, and then conquer the two countries of Shangzong and Anbo, so that the first step was to control the four countries of Kanto in the east of Edo.

Listening, Lu Ning glanced at Huang Baoyi and said, "If you want to conquer Deer Island, I will send you back to Tang City, where it is safer." ”

Huang Baoyi nodded her little head lightly, and suddenly said, "Two palace ladies, you won't allow it, right?" ”

Lu Ning smiled dumbly in his heart, this little bit is not very good at it in terms of learning, it is in line with the objective laws of many beauties, but it is better to be very careful, and now this is to cover for yourself, so as not to hear the real winter Ji and Kyoko next to her, but it seems that she can do whatever she wants, without the appearance of the lowest officer.

"You go and ask for the incense hall." Lu Ning smiled.

……

Huang Baoyi "begged" Chengxiang Hall to naturally get permission, so a few days later, when Fu Qian led the rest of the military horses of the Xuanfu camp to arrive in Edo, Chengxiang Hall returned to New Tang City, and Huang Baoyi was also able to accompany him.

Subsequently, the Xuanfu battalion had small thunderbolt cavalry, archers, three heavy armor, six hundred Ezo auxiliaries, and two hundred samurai; There are also Tachibana Nakaren selected a thousand soldiers, led by the eldest son Tachibana Michinobu, a total of more than 2,000 people, and marched to Kashima.

At the same time, the two battalions of the Zhendong Army in the south of Xinqi City, plus 500 samurai and 1,000 foot light auxiliaries, went south and attacked Kashima.

In the past two months, the number of warrior regiments intercepted and killed was only seven or eight batches, and the total number of people did not exceed 1,000.

In particular, I heard that Heiankyo had issued an order prohibiting warriors from crossing the prefecture in groups without permission.

In this way, there was no point in continuing to set up an ambush in Shimo-Sogoku, and it became an inevitable choice to attack Kashima Castle in Hitachi Province, lest it be easy to suffer from the enemy in the Edo concession that Shimoso-sho was building in the event that Kyoto issued a call to conquer the Qi people.

From Shimokokufu Castle to Kashima, one hundred and fifty miles.

The fiercest battle between the two sides broke out in Chibaza, more than forty miles from Kashima, on the north bank of the Tone River.

Chiba was one of the areas where the Ezo people were particularly active, and later became the main prisoner colony in the Kanto Plain, where the local people had a strong Ezo bloodline and were the main source of samurai recruits.

The Chiba clan made great contributions in the process of establishing the Kamakura Shogunate by Genji, and their power also reached its peak during the Kamakura Shogunate.

However, the battle of Chiba Za undoubtedly changed the original historical trend.

Gen Manchu, Xiuxiang, and thousands of samurai, in Chibaza, suffered a fatal blow.

The crushing attack of the musketeers, archers, and the phalanx of heavily armored soldiers was completely unequal, and the warriors of the Hitachi Kingdom were instantly defeated.

It also made the Tachibana Daoxin Army, which was originally a flank, completely become a bystander, but it was precisely because of being a bystander, watching Qi Ren's amazing loud weapon bombardment, watching the light archers rushing and harassing, in front of them, the foot warrior was simply a live target, and there was no backhand power at all.

also looked at the heavy armor team of Qi people, marching in formation, with a forest of spears, the power of the black oppressive legion that crushed everything, the phalanx composed of only three hundred soldiers, but it was like a torrent of thousands of troops, invincible.

When the Changlu army seemed to be completely defeated, and the spears of the Qi people's heavy armor formation fell to the ground, and one by one they took the heavy swords sent by Ezo Nu, suddenly hundreds of samurai rushed out of the main formation of the Chang army with a loud shout.

Only at that moment did the battle situation seem to have the slightest possibility of change.

The 500 elite samurai who Minamoto Manzhong had trained with all his heart's painstaking efforts, and each instilled the concept of valuing life and righteousness, with the belief that he could enter the shrine after death and receive the highest honor, suddenly launched an attack when the Qi army was a little careless, and even changed weapons in battle.

At that moment, Tachibana confidence rose to his throat.

But soon, everyone realized that it was just a suicidal charge.

Even the Qi people's artifact army and archers did not participate in the battle at all, and the heavy foot soldiers quickly took up the giant sword, and three or five people formed a team, and in the cold light, it seemed to form dozens of rotating sharp gears, and the Yuan family warriors who quickly rushed into the Qi people's array were divided and submerged, and were strangled by this efficient and cold precision killing machine.

There were also some stragglers who escaped from the Qi battle formation, and they were either hacked to death by the Ezo auxiliaries or chased by archers.

In the battle of Chiba Gate, in addition to the "Five Hundred Righteous Soldiers" named by Yuan Manzhong himself, in fact, the losses of the Chang Army were not large, and more than 100 people were killed and wounded, and they were defeated, and it was completely similar to the so-called war process of Dongying at present, and even because it was found that the other side was difficult to defeat at all, it was defeated earlier, but the "Five Hundred Regiments" were wiped out, but no one survived.

Gen Manzhong, because of the lack of horses, when he fled, he was shot off the horse by the archers, he is a generation of heroes, seeing that he was about to be captured, he then stabbed a sharp long knife into his stomach, although it is not a standard seppuku, but he is likely to be the world, the first Dongying samurai to commit suicide by disembowelment to show his courage.

In fact, Yuan Manzhong did not die at that time, but it is obvious that in today's world, if it drags on, it will make him suffer, and it is Fu who ordered him to cut off his head, which gave him a good time.

It's just that in the scuffle, Xiuxiang was nowhere to be found, which also made Lu Ning feel that this old fox was a bit of a headache for the first time.

After all, the wise men of this era may suffer a big loss if anyone first sees him, but if he finds out the details, and the hole cards have been displayed in front of him, then, if he is not careful, he may suffer a big loss in the hands of these wise men.

……

In August of the ninth year of Mukden, the rebellious Tachibana Michinobu army attacked Kashima Castle.

At the same time, most of the northern counties of Hitachi Province were invaded by Mutsu samurai, and Tachibana Michinobu then divided the castle lords in the name of his father, that is, the castle lords of Shimono and Echigo, and they were all appointed, although, regardless of the northern part of Hitachi Province or Shimono, Echigo, the castle lords were actually appointed by the Qi people.

In September, the entire army of the Xuanfu Battalion was stationed in Edokan.

At the same time, Lu Ning received a second handwritten letter from Fujiwara Minori, the left minister of Kyoto.

However, it is clear that his letter is behind the development of the situation, and in the letter he states that he has forbidden volunteers from all over the country to go to Kashima, and that this is not the intention of the emperor and the public government.

He once again invited the "General Yuan" to go to Kyoto to discuss the follow-up of the eradication of Ezo.

At the time of writing, he had not received any news that Kashima Castle had been invaded by the Tachibana clan and that Minamoto Manchu had been killed in battle.
