Rushing... Ripples rippled on the sea, and Hosokawa's army returned to the sea, and there was no land battle at all as the Shimazu family had imagined.

"Turn due west!" Out of Kagoshima Bay, the ship began to circle the southern tip of Kyushu Island and head west.

Hosokawa Motokatsu stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the fleet that was riding the wind and waves, and now they were about to sail to the unknown seas.

"Yuanyi, is that woman reliable?" Hosokawa Motokatsu asked Hitoshi in a whisper that there was a beautiful woman on the Kuki Mototaka boat in front of him, and that woman was brought on board by his younger brother, and it was said that she was the owner of a geisha shop.

"Brother, rest assured, you can rely on it, this is the eyeliner left by my father back then, and she will also serve as a guide for this route." It seems that Renki Motoyoshi trusts this woman very much, and it was when he landed on the shore to fight, relying on his identity as the fire elder of the Mochizuki organization, that he found the leader of the Satsuma underground stronghold: Shenyu.

Shen Yu was sent to Satsuma by Mochizuki Snow to form an intelligence network.

"Father's eyeliner?" Hosokawa Motokatsu was a little surprised, he had never heard of it, and he hadn't been informed of this expedition, but how did this younger brother of his know about it?

"Don't be surprised, brother, the system established by my father is very perfect, and there are many mysterious organizations that we don't know about. My mother also told me about this when I was about to leave the house, so that I must make good use of the local intelligence network and assist my brother in achieving immortal achievements. "Renki Motoyoshi said very cleverly, everything is based on Hosokawa Motokatsu.

"I see." Hosokawa Motokatsu nodded and didn't say anything more, not knowing what he was thinking again, just looking at the boundless sea.

"My lord, there is Cape Fangzu in front, and from there to the north is where the Shimazu family's naval army is stationed, and please prepare for battle." Shen Yu Chong Nine Ghost Yuanlong said respectfully, she had been sent to Satsuma for more than ten years, and the terrain here had long been familiar with it. Not only that, but the general route of the entire Kyushu is also well understood, after all, she not only uses geisha to find information, but also relies on caravans to conduct field visits.

"Well, the enemy there has long been wiped out by us." Nine Ghost Yuanlong didn't tell her about annihilating the Shimazu Navy before, in fact, he didn't trust her very much, and he wanted to test whether she was really leading the way.

"Ah, that's great. The Fangzu Navy is the only sea force of the Shimazu family, and without the obstruction of this navy, the entire sea area of Kyushu would be our world. Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and then continued quietly.

"Oh? Isn't there a water army in the Ryuzoji family in Kitakyushu? Nine Ghost Yuanlong asked strangely.

"No, the Ryuzoji family is fighting by land, and the waters of Kitakyushu have always been occupied by the Goto naval army." Shen Yu began to explain to the Nine Ghosts Yuanlong, and the sailors passed through Cape Fangjin in turn.

"Goto Naval Army? Is it the Matsuura Hu family's water army? "The Nine Demons Mototaka knows that Goto is in the sphere of influence of the Matsuura Hu family.

"That's right, it's the sailors of the Matsuura Hu family, who completely control the seas of Kitakyushu, as well as trade with the Ming." Shen Yu nodded, the Matsuura Hu family is an ally of the Hosokawa family, which has long been agreed between the two families.

"So where do we go next?" Now that there were no hostile forces on the sea, Nine Ghost Yuanlong was also a lot more relieved and began to inquire about the next strategic policy.

"This needs to be decided by the young master, there is a small island in front of it, you can take a break." The sunken fish pointed to the sea in the distance, and a protruding place could be vaguely seen.

"Good! The whole army obeys the order! Turn to the northwest! Target the island ahead! Voyage! "The Nine Ghosts Yuanlong gave the military order, and the entire fleet lined up and sailed towards the island.

The so-called Wangshan runs a dead horse, and at sea it is a half-day voyage to Wangdao.

By the time the Hosokawa sailors approached, it was about to get dark, and when they got closer, they realized that it was a group of islands, with three large islands and many small islands.

"We're here tonight! Be sure to do a good vigil! "Kiyoyasu Ataka is arranging a night sentry, and he will be on duty tonight.

Hosokawa Motokatsu, on the other hand, convened the ministers overnight to discuss the next strategy.

"Young master, my lords, let me introduce you to the general situation here by the concubine." Shen Yu was on a small sand table and began to explain, this sand table model is the result of more than ten years.

"We are on an island about 100 miles west of Kyushu. Moreover, it is uninhabited, and very few people know about its existence, so the operations here are absolutely secretive, and will not be detected by the enemy, and can be used as a long-term garrison base. "The reason why Shenyu was able to find this place is also a coincidence, because a subordinate disguised as a maritime merchant was blown here by a storm.

The islands are isolated and insulated, and the archipelago is an undulating terrain with drowning bays. It is assumed that in ancient times, there were many mountains that towered above the sea, and the tops of the archipelago are still on the surface of the sea like statues.

Moreover, in the entire island of Kyushu, more than 90% of the people do not know that this island exists, and it is Koshikishima.

The area of the island is about 117.56 square kilometers, and the total length of the coastline is 183.3 kilometers. Since the island is uninhabited, it is well ecologically protected, and the reef of the same age as the dinosaurs has formed a natural lagoon group, and there are hundreds of millions of years of marine algae growing in it.

"However, although it is good here, there is no supply of supplies, especially fresh water." Katakura Keitsuna pointed out the most critical place, after a long voyage at sea, he was most afraid of not having fresh water.

"Your Excellency, please look here." Shen Yu pointed to the east side of the island with a baton, and his calm temperament was doubly heroic.

"This is Yonezu Port, and there is a secret supply point for us to replenish food and fresh water." In the whole of Kyushu, there are many strongholds of such organizations, and they are hidden under the cloak of borrowing merchant houses.

"Well, that's a way to do it. What is the closest enemy city to here? Katakura Jingzuna felt that this method was feasible, and the location itself was excellent, and with logistics support, it could be used as a temporary base.

"Izumi Castle, the lord of the castle, Shimazu Yoshitora, is the lord of Satsuma Izumi. He is the son-in-law of Shimazu Minoruhisa, and when his father Minoru and Shimazu Tadaya were fighting, this righteous tiger turned his back on his father and sided with Tadashi. Since this place was a bridgehead for the invasion of Higo, he served as a pioneer in the attack on the Sagara family, and it was he who won Sagara Yoshiyo. "The intelligence network in the Satsuma area is so well developed that even anyone knows who has illegitimate children.

"Okay, rest for the night tonight, and early tomorrow morning, raid out of the water city! By the way, replenish food, fresh water. "Hosokawa Motokatsu did not forget to fight the jungle while supplying, so that the army was always in a state of war.

"Yes!" The generals received orders one after another, and the young master's initial formation was very perfect, not only conquering Shimazu Ju Castle, but also winning the head of the family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, which doubled the prestige of Motokatsu.
