Chapter 194: The Demon King's Tactics
"Borrowing money? This is more difficult, after all, the money raised by selling stocks just now, you will borrow ......" Ashikaga Molong looked embarrassed.
Although Aya Nagao was also a little embarrassed, she continued: "In recent years, there have been frequent wars in Echigo, especially the group of people in Yangbei who rebelled in three days, so the cost is still very large. ”
Well? This ghost girl has grown, and she will actually threaten me! Sure enough, is it shameless for the sake of her husband? Who doesn't know that if I marry your sister away, Echigo will have the final say on your husband, and if you don't borrow money for this matter, you won't fulfill your alliance obligations? Ashikaga Molong touched his chin and showed a weird smile: "It's impossible to borrow money, it's impossible to borrow it in this life, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the merchants, but there will be no problem in buying and selling." ”
"What do you want to buy?" Nagao Aya hurriedly asked, as an excellent housekeeper, she is not the kind of person who does not go out of the door, her husband Nagao Zhengjing is kept in captivity by her sister, and she is handling the government affairs of the territory on weekdays.
"Sado Island, 30,000 kan." A strange smile appeared at the corner of Ashikaga Molong's mouth.
"Sado Island? What are you doing in that place of exile? Nagao Aya glanced at Ashikaga Molong vigilantly, Sado Island is purely a chicken rib at the moment, the total stone is no more than 20,000 stones, and it is lonely overseas, and the local wealthy families are not very obedient, and they are purely nominally obedient to the rule of the Nagao family. However, the location of Sado Island is too important, and if Sado Island is used as a base, the attack range can easily cover the entire territory of Echigo, which is much easier than climbing over the mountains of Kita-Ueno. Of course, she thought purely from a safety point of view, but she would never have imagined that the bottom of Sado Island was a top-class gold mine that could be mined for 400 years, and the terrifying existence that supported half of the shogunate's income throughout the Edo period, and the annual mining of 40 tons of gold was maddening. The legendary Tsar's treasure is only 500 tons of gold, and the output of Sado Gold Mountain in 13 years can easily be surpassed. And with Sado Kanayama, Ashikaga Molong can get such a thing as a bank, a monopoly bank and a monopoly company, which is the standard configuration of the super chaebol!
"Of course, I'm not here for fishing, but for North Korea, you Echigo haven't marched to Vietnam for too long, and it's even more out of reach of Noto, so I can only retreat to the next best thing, and build Sado Island into a fortress to advance North Korea and monopolize trade with North Korea." Ashikaga Molong changed to a more comfortable posture to sit, he and Nagao Aya, it is impossible to fully trust each other, if he marries Nagao Keitora and carries out Echigo's big transfer, Nagao Masaki's ability to rule Echigo will reach a very terrifying level, and once Sado Kanayama is developed, Nagao Masakai can't think much about it. Then it is standard operation to station a strong army on Sado Island and support the wealthy clan after North Vietnam to continue to fight Nagao Masaki.
"100,000 yuan, not a penny less, after all, you just made so much." Aya Nagao rolled her eyes and said immediately.
"20,000 yuan, I won't give any more." Ashikaga Molong didn't care about continuing to drop the price, completely not following the negotiation routine.
"Are you crazy? We can't sell 20,000 yuan. Aya Nagao said in a trembling voice.
"Really? I also think the price is a bit high, so let's go for 10,000. "For Ashikaga Molong, not to mention that Nagao Aya opened 100,000 kan, that is, Sado Island sold 1 million kan, as long as Sado Kanayama is developed, Nagao Masaki will have the same idea, in this case, why bother to enhance his strength?
Aya Nagao got up angrily, "You, are you humiliating our Nagao family?" ”
Ashikaga Molong shook his head with a smile, touched Aya's slender little hand and pulled her to sit down, "yes, then Sado Island will give me as Tora Chiyo's dowry." As a dowry, I gave out 170,000 stone of land. ”
When Nagao Aya heard this, she immediately stopped getting angry, and showed a flattering expression: "Where is the 170,000 stones?" ”
"You and I both know that the turmoil in the Echigo country is rooted in the fact that the power of the Hao clan is too strong, and with the ability of Tiger Chiyo, there are still rebellions, and your husband may not be able to do better than Tiger Chiyo, right? And Tiger Chiyo's henchmen are very at odds with your husband, and it is estimated that when the time comes, what your husband can control is Sakamoto Castle and Kasuga Mountain Castle. In this case, I simply transferred the wealthy clan loyal to Tiger Chiyo to the Kanto region, and then these vacated lands will also become the direct domain of the Nagao family, and I have calculated that it is exactly 170,000 koku. The Echigo country stone is no more than 400,000 high, and your husband controls more than half of the land, so those wealthy families naturally don't dare to make trouble. Ashikaga Molong flickered, although there is nothing wrong with what he said, but he knows very well that the Echigo country is by no means the 400,000 stone on the surface, even in the period of Nagao Jinghu, the control of the Nagao family over North Vietnam is also quite fragile, there is no ability to comprehensively inspect the land, how many Shi Gao can basically only rely on the Hao family themselves to report, in order to bear less obligations, erasing a zero behind Shi Gao is also a routine operation. You must know that the shogunate inspected the land but detected as many as one million stones in Echigo, although it was a few decades later, but just looking at the rebellion of the Shibata Shigeka family and the rebellion of the Honjo clan, you know that the power of the Hao clan after North Vietnam was completely enough to fight with the South Echigo. It can be said that the long-tailed Jinghu is a ceiling, even if the personal ability factor is not considered, the long-tail political scenery will be the same as the long-tail Jinghu is now, and this kind of strength is absolutely not qualified to grin in front of Ashikaga Molong.
Aya Nagao thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded hesitantly, compared to Sado Island, it is really more important for her husband to really become the lord of Echigo, although she also knows that this will greatly damage Echigo's overall combat effectiveness, but this is in line with the interests of Nagao Masaki! It's a fart if the interests of the more are damaged, and it is the truth that you have to benefit!
After sending away Nagao Aya, Ashikaga Molong turned his head to look at the Kanto map hanging on the wall, and suddenly asked, "Is there any information about the Oda family?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a ninja crawled out of the shadows in the corner: "Oda Nobunaga sent troops to Mino four times in three months, but all of them returned in vain, and two of them were defeated. ”
Four times in three months? Ashikaga Molong couldn't help but gasp, the frequency of this attack is too abnormal, and Oda Nobunaga is indeed inferior to his eldest brother Saito Yoshiryu in terms of military ability, so it's a rhythm to die for. But thinking about Oda Nobunaga's clear brain circuit, Ashikaga Molong still thought of a terrifying possibility. "These four times, did all the Saito family lead the troops to meet the battle by Saito Yoshiryu?"
"Yes, because Oda Nobunaga mobilizes more than 18,000 troops every time, and Mino also needs to send a large army to fight, Saito Yoshiryu does not dare to fake his hands on others, and he leads the troops in person."
Ashikaga Molong instantly understood Oda Nobunaga's thoughts, this thing is Saito Yoshiryu, who wants to learn from Sima Yi and survive a serious illness. It goes without saying that the burden on the commanders of large corps operations is self-evident, and even if there are more developed communications equipment in later generations, it is normal for commanders not to sleep for several days when fighting large-scale battles. Saito Yoshiryu was already sick, and when he came out to command the battle so frequently, his body was bound to collapse. Thinking of the urine sex of the Mino wealthy clan in history, Ashikaga Molong has been very sure that Oda Nobunaga has already contacted the Mino wealthy clan, just wait for Saito Yoshiryu to die, and lead the Oda army to the main Mino, anyway, Saito Yoshiryu's son is only six years old, what can he understand? In that case, it is better to simply sell Mino for a good price.
