Mori Moto was very excited at this moment, because he had already led his army to attack Izumo Province, the old nest of the Niko clan, as long as he took Izumo Province, the Niko clan would be almost finished, and the west of Honshu would be his world, and he would definitely become the overlord of the new generation of Western Kingdom.

This is the case in these years, no matter how powerful the princes are, they have the foundation to settle down, just like the Ouchi clan's Zhou Fangguo, Zhou Fangguo was basically occupied by the rebellious Tao Qingxian, so the Ouchi clan can only be reduced to a puppet.

As for what flees to other subject countries in order to make a comeback, it is a dream, because no matter how small the country is, there are local wealthy clans, when you are strong, people have no choice, they have to listen to you, if you flee to the past, it is strange if people don't kill you.

Therefore, as long as the Izumo country is taken, the Ouchi clan is almost finished, as for the other wealthy clans in the Ouchi clan's subordinate country, it is not a matter of worry, the Ouchi clan can't kill him if he gathers forty or fifty thousand horses, and how many people and horses can be gathered by other local wealthy clans, it is not bad to be able to gather four or five thousand people, this point of people and horses, that is, a dish.

It's a pity that just when Maori Yuan was full of ambition and fantasized about becoming the overlord of the Western Kingdom, the Muromachi Shogunate suddenly issued a message, declaring that the Maori clan lured the wolf into the house and was willing to be the lackey of the Ming Dynasty, intending to help the Ming Dynasty occupy the entire Dongying.

Of course, these are all, for the princes of all walks of life, whether the Maori clan is the lackey of the Ming Dynasty is not the point at all, the focus is on how strong the Maori clan and the alliance of the Ming Dynasty is, and what is the benefit after defeating them.

If the alliance between the Maori clan and the Ming Dynasty was so strong that it was desperately strong, it would not be able to defeat it at all, and naturally no one would dare to take care of others.

If there is no benefit at all after defeating the alliance between the Maori clan and the Ming Dynasty, then naturally no one cares about the life or death of the Nizi clan.

Of course, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki knew this, so at the end of the text, he directly pointed out that the combined forces of the Maori clan and the Ming Dynasty were only 50,000 horses, and their combat power was stronger than that of the Niko clan, but it was not much stronger.

More importantly, he also said that the Niko clan was willing to give up the ownership of Iwami Province, but all the princes who went to help could get a share of the profits from the Iwami silver mine.

If it is a family to help, then the Iwami Silver Mine will belong to this family, and if several families jointly go to help, then the Iwami Silver Mine will belong to these families.

This trick is really powerful, no one knows the income of Iwami Silver Mine, at least five or six million taels of silver a year, although all the princes of Dongying are trying their best to mine silver in their respective territories, but none of them can compare with the income of Iwami Silver Mine, and even the silver income of all the princes can not be compared with Iwami Silver Mine.

Ishimi silver mine, the princes of Dongying have indeed coveted it for a long time.

Such a big bait, even if you know that there is a hook in it?

Now, the shogun of the shogunate has taken the lead in saying that the Iwami silver mine will be divided, and it is not yet a gathering of applicants.

The princes of all walks of life in Honshu were overjoyed to see the hunt, and they expressed their willingness to send men and horses to crusade against the Mori clan and recapture Iwami Province!

Of course, they will not be fooled by the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and they will be sent to fight with the Ming Dynasty, although they are fierce, they really send not a lot of people and horses, there are forty or fifty thousand horses under their hands, at most one or two hundred thousand horses will be sent, and if there are twenty or thirty thousand horses under them, they will send ten thousand horses at most, anyway, they are all here to take advantage, not to fight hard.

However, just like this, the princes of more than a dozen roads in the central and eastern parts of Honshu united and cobbled together an army of 100,000, and their strength should not be underestimated.

When Ashikaga Yoshiteru saw this situation, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

The 100,000 army does not seem to be all the strength of these princes, but at least it is a small half of their strength.

Besides, once the princes of all walks of life participate in the war, they will not give up, if the 100,000 army really can't bear it, they will definitely continue to increase their troops to support, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely not easily give up the Iwami silver mine in hand, the war together, I am afraid it will not be good, it is not known what the alliance of the princes and the Ming Dynasty will become, however, one thing is certain, the princes of all walks of life, after this battle, the strength will definitely be greatly damaged.

When the time comes, he will unite with the Niko clan to find a few soft persimmons and pinch them to restore the authority of the shogunate, which is simply handy!

In order to provoke the battle between the princes of all walks of life and the Ming Dynasty, he took great pains, not only threw out the coveted bait of Iwami Silver Mine, but also wantonly divided the princes who participated in the war.

Oda Nobunaga, the head of the Oda clan who sent the most troops and had the highest prestige, was directly named the general of the Eastern Army by him, and was appointed as the minister of the second rank, with full responsibility for the crusade against the Maori clan and the Ming Dynasty coalition army.

The dispatch of troops was secondary, and the head of the Takeda clan, who had a high prestige, was directly named the deputy general of the Eastern Army by him, and he was awarded the three great words.

There are also Uesugi clans, Tokugawa clans, Asai clans and other princes are all named Nakayan, Left Guards General, Right Guards Generals and other officials from the three ranks, in short, as long as the princes who participate in the war, they are all divided, and they are all happy.

Moreover, in order to show that he did not have any ambitions for the Iwami Silver Mine, he did not even send his own men and horses to fight, and none of his cronies and officials were dispatched, which means to tell the princes of all walks of life, you let go of it, as long as the Iwami Kingdom is defeated, the Iwami Silver Mine will be yours!

Although the princes of all walks of life were not ecstatic, their actions were quite active, and within a month, they gathered all 100,000 horses together and rushed out of the cloud country.

Mao Liyuan received the news, he was really shocked, although he was quite confident in his men and iron cannons, but he was not arrogant enough to think that with his 40,000 horses and 400 iron cannons, he could overturn the more than 100,000 horses and horses gathered by more than ten princes, you know, his strength at this time can be so much stronger than the Nizi clan, the Nizi clan's 50,000 army plus the 100,000 princes' coalition army, it is strange if he doesn't beat him!

Without thinking about it, he led his men to withdraw from Izumo Province, retracted directly to Iwami Province, and hurriedly ran to see the Ming Ministry of Industry Shangshu and ask for assistance.

Under the command of the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the princes of Toei gathered a large army to prepare for the recovery of Iwami Province, this Gu Kexue naturally heard about it a long time ago, but he didn't care much about this, because he was not a commander, and Iwami was not led by him to fight down, he was just in charge of mining Iwami silver mines.

He had already spread the news to Hirado City and told Taishi Yang Cong, and Yang Cong had already sent Yu Dayou with 10,000 Ming elites to support.

Therefore, when Mao Liyuan asked to see Gu Kexue, not only Gu Kexue was present, but also the general Yu Dayou was also present.

Mao Liyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, anxiously introducing the current situation, but Gu Kexue didn't seem to hear it, just leisurely fiddling with the tea set there, pouring tea for the two of them.

What's going on?

The more Mao Li Yuan talks, the more cold he becomes, and the more he talks, the more desperate he becomes.

This Lord Gu doesn't want to leave him alone and go back to Daming directly, right?

People can pat their butts and leave, what can he do!

At this time, he did not have the ability to carry all the princes in the central and eastern parts of the state.

After he hurriedly finished the introduction, he looked at Gu Kexue with a blank eye, as if he wanted to ask someone to stay and help, but he couldn't open this mouth.

Unexpectedly, Gu Kexue didn't mean to reply to him at all, just holding the teacup and savoring the fragrant tea in the cup, but Yu Dayou, the general of the Ming army on the side, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the cow, and then said lightly: "Your Excellency General, don't panic, you and lead the army back to Anyi Country to rest and recuperate, this Ishimi Country, just leave it to us to defend." ”

Yes!
