On March 11 of the second year of Ryūmu, 4,000 people from the elite Ii Naomasa Division of the Tokugawa Ieyasu Department arrived in Iwami as a vanguard.

As the representative of the Tokugawa side, Ii Naomasa made the final handover with Luo Shangzhi, who led the 1,000-man palace, and then witnessed Luo Shangzhi's army board the Qin army's sea ship and leave Iwami and sail towards Daqin.

At this point, the retreat of the Qin army was completed, and there was no longer any Qin army in Iwami, and there was no Qin army on the Japanese mainland.

As a very trusted subordinate of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Naomasa Ii was also the youngest high-ranking general, not only with military talents, but also with the famous Ii Red Reserve under his command, and even political and diplomatic talents, and saved the Tokugawa clan when the Tokugawa clan was in distress several times.

Therefore, in this operation, because of its seriousness and criticality, Tokugawa Ieyasu sent Naomasa Ii, who was both civil and military, to lead his elite to hand over the Qin army.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was obviously prepared for the worst, and Ii Naomasa's troops were all cavalry, even if the Qin army had tricks, they could still escape.

But there were only 1,000 people left in the Qin army waiting for the handover, Luo Shangzhi led the team to leave after the handover, did not stop at all, and simply got on the sea ship, set sail and went away.

For this army, which defeated the 30,000 elites of the Tokugawa army head-on and even killed the famous Tokugawa general Honda Tadakatsu, Ii Naomasa was absolutely vigilant and even prepared for battle.

But this army did not seem to give him a chance to be vigilant and went fast.

Naomasa Ii breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little relaxed, which puzzled his subordinates.

"Honda Tadashi is brave and fearless, and he is still defeated at the hands of this army, which shows that he is strong, and now even I may not be able to compete with it, but it is a good thing that they can leave as soon as possible, and I can take over Iwami with peace of mind."

That's how Naomasa Ii thinks, but he soon realizes that he might be thinking things too simply.

He originally thought that after the Qin army left, at least some infrastructure would be left behind, so that he could resume managing the government affairs here as soon as possible, and resume the mining of silver mines as soon as possible, so as to mine as much as he could before the war began.

But it wasn't until he arrived here that he found that all the people here had been taken away by the Qin army, and not a single family was left, all of them were taken away, which was not mentioned at all in the previous intelligence.

In addition to the population, basically all the houses have been destroyed, many buildings near the Silver Mountain mining area have been destroyed, or demolished, and there are traces of being burned, all the living buildings have disappeared, and unless they are rebuilt, they cannot be used at all.

The most excessive thing is not this, but basically the entrance to the mine in Yinshan is blocked by boulders, and I don't know how Qin Jun did it, a large piece of stone blocked the entrance of many mines, and it was clear that he didn't want to give them a good look.

Naomasa Ii's face was terrifying, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to go back to report the news, and then ordered people to organize to get rid of the stones, clean up the mine, and resume mining as soon as possible.

He needed Tokugawa Ieyasu to recruit some skilled miners to resume mining, otherwise some soldiers would not be able to do these things.

All he could do was clean up the mines, and then send troops around the perimeter to look for something to use.

But they were disappointed, not only was there nothing good to use, the water sources were contaminated, the wells were contaminated with animal and human corpses, and the farmland was a mess and overgrown with weeds.

Is this a handover?

Is this clearly a tactic of the fortified wall? It's exactly what Tokugawa Ieyasu did in the coastal area of Kyushu Island!

Could it be that these Qin troops were still worried that they would sail in pursuit of them?

What is the use of an Iwami that has basically been scrapped, Iwami who has no infrastructure and cannot resume mining, and when he gets it in his hand, he has empty silver mines and cannot be mined?

Naomasa Ii was very angry, but he didn't know how to vent.

Of course, what made him even more angry was still to come, when his elite Red Reserve soldiers went to clean the boulders at the entrance of the mine, they worked very hard, and at the end of the day, they cleaned seven or eight mine entrances, and then they tried to go inside, to find out the news inside.

Then fell into the trap.

That's right, traps.

The hole dug out, there were sharp bamboo thorns in the hole, many soldiers carelessly fell into the hole and were stabbed or stabbed to death, if the mechanism was touched, there were arrows shot out from somewhere, and several exploration soldiers in the hole were wiped out in this way.

The most hateful thing is that those bamboo thorns and arrows have poison on them, all of them are poison!

The next day, he was told about the loss of one hundred and seventeen soldiers of the Red Reserve.

Ii Naomasa has always had a good cultivation, but this time, he also pulled out his knife and slammed it on his desk, splitting the table into two pieces.

He now understood why the group of Qin troops was moving so fast.

The emotion is really worried that he will lose his mind and chase after him.

Jing Yi Naomasa can swear that if the Qin army still hasn't gone far now, he will immediately pursue them and fight them to the death.

Unfortunately, however, he did not have this opportunity, so although he stopped the operation to clear the obstacle at the entrance of the mine in time, he still lost one hundred and seventeen elite Red Reserve soldiers, which made him almost faint with heartache.

Attrition without a battle, elite Red Reserve soldiers! How much does it take to train it?

This is the case of smashing teeth and swallowing in the stomach, and it is very typical, and Ii Naomasa can only search the surroundings while waiting for Tokugawa Ieyasu's support to arrive.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's support soon came, Tokugawa Ieyasu still cared very much about Ii Naomasa, under Tokugawa Ieyasu, Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa, who can be called brave generals, can be called a think tank, Honda Masanobu, but both civil and military, only Ii Naomasa alone.

The Red Reserve Team under his command also inherited the absolute elite of the Takeda Clan's Red Reserve Team, and he was sent out to deal with unpredictable dangers.

And the current situation is strange, Tokugawa Ieyasu can't afford to risk losing Naomasa Ii and his Red Reserve team.

So he sent Kamihara Yasumasa over, with 20,000 troops and more than 500 urgently patched together miners, and set off towards Iwami at a very fast speed, while Tokugawa Ieyasu himself led a part of the main force to advance towards Zhou Fangguo, intending to use Zhou Fangguo as a base for his advance.

Yasumasa Kamihara soon led his army to set off, and in order to arrive as soon as possible, he personally led a cavalry team to load more than 500 miners and transport them to the mining area of Iwami Ginzan, which took only two days to arrive.

On March 14, Yasumasa Kamihara and Naomasa Iii met at the Iwami mining area, and after learning what happened to Naomasa Iinoi and what Qin Jun had done, Yasumasa Kamihara also blackened his face and scolded Daqin angrily.
