Chapter 558: Building a Factory

After the death of Miyoshi Nagayi, the soldiers of the Miyoshi Army who rushed out of the city also collapsed. The only remaining auxiliaries, archers, and iron gunners in the castle were unable to resist, and Ogasawara asked for surrender on the condition that he would not harm the lives of the Miyoshi army. After receiving the assurance of Akihei, who had never committed atrocities such as killing and surrendering, and had always been known for his "promise of a daughter", Ogasawara Narisuke committed suicide by seppuku with peace of mind, and Kishiwa Castle's resistance came to an end.

With the fall of Kishiwada Castle, the entire Izumi Province and the other Miyoshi armies and finally the Miyoshi family also gave up resistance, and they all offered their surrender tables to Yuakihei, and Izumi Province was pacified by the Oda family, and the 6,000 troops of the Miyoshi family suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the remaining 5,000 people were all captured. Yu Qiuping was well aware of Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, and put back the coefficient of more than 5,000 people. On the one hand, it is to break the fighting spirit of the Miyoshi family, and on the other hand, it is also to aggravate their food crisis.

The crushing defeat on the southern front severely shook the morale of the Miyoshi Army in Settsu, and at this critical moment, Hideyoshi Hashiba once again demonstrated his superb ability to adjust. He personally entered the residence of Araki Murashige, a major minister of the Miyoshi family in Settsu Province, and said that Araki Murashige had been lowered.

Araki Murashige's betrayal dealt a fatal blow to the Miyoshi family's army. The location of Arioka Castle is the hub of Settsu Province and the core of the entire Miyoshi family's defense line. After Araki Village re-separated, the Oda family took advantage of the situation to attack, and the Miyoshi family was at a loss for a while, and retreated in embarrassment in all directions.

In the torrent of retreat, only the Yataku Dongkang Department was not in chaos. They seem to have been prepared for Araki Murashige's rebellion for a long time, relying on the powerful Awaji Navy to hold the retreat of the Miyoshi Army along the coastline, so that the Miyoshi Army did not suffer major losses.

The Oda family pursued them all the way and soon suppressed the entire territory of Settsu. However, when they chased Harima, they were hit by a backhand blow from Ichigen Tokawa, and the momentum of the pursuit was curbed. Miyoshi Chokei seized the opportunity to re-establish a defensive line on the border of Harima-Settsu, keeping the Oda family out of the country.

Oda Nobunaga was not in a hurry, and when he saw that the defense line of the Miyoshi family was very strong, he stopped the attack and confronted the Miyoshi family on the front line. Because with the fall of Settsu and the whole of Izumi, the Miyoshi family has been completely driven out of - this is of great political significance. At the same time, the arrangements for Izumi Province were also issued.

On the basis of the original Kawachi guardian generation, Yu Qiuping also served as the guardian of Izumi. However, Wada Castle, the main castle of Izumi Province, was given to Ikeda Tsuneko, along with the two counties south of Izumi. Although this practice is similar to snatching food from the mouth of the Yuqiu family, neither Yuqiu Ping nor the Yuqiu family expressed any slowness.

On the one hand, this is not the first time that such a "sand mix" has been practiced. Shibata Katsuie, as the general of the front army, also divided the core area of the territory to Oda Nobunaga's direct force, the Fuchu Sanju. Oda Nobunaga's enclosure of Ikeda Tsuneko to Kishiwada Castle, an important town of Izumi in Hanoi, must have had the same intention as before—to supervise Yu Qiuping, who was the general of the front army.

However, Ikeda Hengxing himself has always had a good relationship with Yu Qiuping, and the Ikeda army also contributed a lot to this battle plan, so the Yu Qiu family felt that this was a good arrangement. If it weren't Ikeda Tsuneko who were assigned here, but Sasa Narumasa and other people who had a holiday with Yuakihei, then Yuakihei would have a hard time to live. At least Ikeda Tsuneko would never have made a small report to Oda Nobunaga behind his back, or disobeyed Yu Qiuhei's orders.

However, although Oda Nobunaga's arrangement was fully accepted, Akihei made a request to him to assign the port of Kishiwada, an important port to the west of Kishiwada Castle. Since the businessmen of the Diet strongly disagreed with the establishment of a shipyard in Sakai Port, Akihei had no choice but to install the shipyard in Kishiwada Port. Oda Nobunaga was in a good mood because of the smooth outcome of the war, and happily agreed to Akihei's request.

After obtaining permission, Yu Qiuping appointed Itami Yasukiyo as the chief of the navy, giving him full responsibility for the construction of the dock and the subsequent construction of the ships. Yu Qiupei tried to get Itami Yasukiyo to accept his idea, which was the ironclad ships built by the Nine Demons Yosataka and Oda Nobunaga in his previous lives. Although Itami Yasukiyo turned them into living coffins floating on the sea, such a sea fortress really has its merits in Japan's special waters. However, Itami Kangqing was bent on his Western mast battleship, and it was estimated that he would not compromise easily.

However, according to Itami Kangqing's estimates, the Yuqiu family is now about three years away from building a full-fledged naval fleet. Not only because there are a large number of ships to build, but also because a fleet needs to train enough sailors, which is not something that can be done overnight. In order to defend the shipyard from the attack of the Awaji Naval Army, Yu Qiuping also pulled all five field artillery groups in the Red Leaf Army to the vicinity of Kishiwada Port first, and also asked the Military Industry Department to start casting more crude coastal defense guns.

Since the navy was unable to make a quick decision, the businessmen of the Diet were not only nervous - what if the Chozong family refused to honor the agreement? However, when their advance party arrived in Tosa Province by boat with a small amount of money, they were immediately welcomed by the head of Chosamune's department. The merchants thought about it and figured out the joints inside. On the one hand, the merchants who invested in Tosa and set up factories could help the relatives of Chosō and Ibu to obtain a large amount of tax revenue. After paying off the loan in the future, this can go into the treasury of Changzong's family more than taxes. On the other hand, although the Yuan Qin of Changzong and my department withstood this round of attacks from the Miyoshi family, the reality that he was much weaker than the Miyoshi family could not be reversed in a short period of time, and he would inevitably need the help of the Yuqiu family in the future. Therefore, naturally, they did not dare to offend the businessmen of the Congress.

After the good news came from the advance team, the businessmen of the Diet immediately went to Tosa with a large amount of money, and Tsuda Munekazu went there himself. They planned to set up more than a dozen factories in various parts of Tosa, and hired local people from Tosa to build factories and work in them at low prices. Most of the raw materials for the products produced are also from Tosa. Subsequently, we will find a way to sell these goods throughout Shikoku and.

After being busy with so many things, Yu Qiuping can finally breathe a sigh of relief. As usual, he left Naruto in Sakai Town, Hosoyanagi was sent to Takaya Castle, and he himself returned to Maple Leaf Castle with Tsukiwabei and a cavalry company.

When he returned to the castle tower in the morning and was about to go to the bedroom to find Kaede Imagawa, he suddenly heard the voice of Hoko Hatani coming from inside.

"Could it be that Feng'er caught the tassel?" Yu Qiuping remembered that Imagawa Kaede seemed to suspect that Yu Qiuping was interested in Hatani Suiko, and his mind suddenly made up the scene he had often seen in palace fighting dramas before: the vicious queen tried her best to torture the new concubine who made it difficult.

However, Yu Qiuping listened for a long time, but only heard Imagawa Kaede and Hatani Suiko chatting with each other, and the laughter like silver bells from time to time. The two seem to have been talking about the story of their childhood, Imagawa Kaede is talking about how Imagawa Yoshimoto loves her, and Haya Hoko is talking about how her highness takes care of her.

Yu Qiuping pushed the door in, only to find out what the two people were doing, and his body suddenly stiffened. Kaede Imagawa was wearing a thin and seductive profane garment and was reclining on the bed. The tight-fitting obscene clothes outlined her bumpy and delicate body, and her snow-white legs, which were as smooth as jade, loomed under the tulle, and matched with that peerless face, it was simply a crime.

And Haya Suiko, sitting behind an easel not far from the bed, painted a portrait for Imagawa Kaede - that is the painting technique that Yuqiu usually used to paint before, and the charm of the beauty in the painting is not at all false to the charming young woman in front of the painting.

"Ahh "Yikes!"

After seeing Yu Qiuping suddenly break in, Hatani Suiko and Imagawa Kaede both screamed out in unison. Hatani Suizi suddenly rolled up the painting that was about to be completed in her hand, and quickly escaped from the room after being caught in the squeaky nest. And Imagawa Kaede quickly wrapped himself in the quilt, hugged his knees, lowered his head and didn't look at Yu Qiuping, his pretty face was covered with a seductive crimson, and he said shyly and coquettishly: "Why did you suddenly break in!" ”

"This is my bedroom, why can't I come in!" Yu Qiuping shook his head with a smile, closed the paper door, and then smiled and walked towards Kaede Imagawa, who wrapped himself in a rice dumpling, and ripped off the quilt on her body.

"Yikes!" Imagawa Kaede screamed in surprise, trying to fight with Yu Qiuping for control of the quilt, but found that her dirty clothes did not allow her to do such an action, just raising her hand on her chest.

"Feng'er, what's the matter with you, let Suizi come over and draw you this erotic thing." Yu Qiu Pinghuai laughed and sat down beside Kaede Imagawa.

"Nope! How's that! I, I, I... It's Hoko who says she wants to draw beautiful women... And then I reluctantly made it difficult... And also! This dirty dress was obviously customized by you secretly outside, and you didn't let me wear it when you brought it back, but you talked about me! You deceitful liar! Imagawa Kaede explained incoherently, the more he explained, the more shy he became, and his slender jade neck also climbed a few touches of dividends, and finally simply snorted and stopped talking.

"When I brought it back, you refused to wear it, and you couldn't wear it a few times a year, and I had to beg you to make you happy before wearing it." Yu Qiuping continued to maintain that weird evil smile, and gently poked Imagawa Kaede's forehead with two fingers, "It turns out that our family Feng'er is a sullen and arrogant." I say I don't like it, but my body is still very honest! ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, you prodigal son!" Imagawa Kaede was already so ashamed that he wanted to get into his arms, and Crimson also crawled all the way from his neck to the root of his ears, trying to change the topic, "You men like to do these nasty things!" I also like young and beautiful little girls! ”

"What nonsense, silly girl." Yu Qiuping suddenly grabbed Imagawa Kaede's wrist and exerted his strength, turning over and pressing this delicate body under him, feeling the two soft balls on her chest squeezing her chest, only to feel that the lust in her body was also churning, "Men obviously prefer young women." ”

"Why!"

"Why?" Yuqiu slowly kissed the seductive red lips, listening to the coquettishness of the young woman below him with satisfaction, and muttered vaguely, "You'll know right away." ”
