"Has Tokugawa-sama forgotten that the most powerful naval army of the Takayama family is not the Ataka naval army entrenched in Awaji, but the Kumano naval army under the command of the nine demons Yoshitaka, this naval army is several times stronger than the Ataka naval army, especially after these years of development, the Kumano naval army has dozens of Ataka ships, and if the sneak attack on the Ataka naval army is successful, it will inevitably get the news, so it is definitely impossible to sneak attack again, and it is completely impossible to rely on Maori and the Shimazu naval army to defeat it." Before Tokugawa Ieyasu could finish speaking, Mori Terumoto directly interrupted him and said.

After all, this is related to the major matter of the naval army under his command, Mori Terumoto can't help but speak, although he doesn't know the strength of the Shimazu naval army, but what is the situation of his own naval army, he still knows, and from the meaning of the other party's words, it can be clearly seen that the strength of the Shimazu naval army is also average, and the family together has just defeated the Ataka naval army, if this is the case, then in terms of the number of ships, it is at least twice as small as the Kumano naval army, and the naval battle relies on the number of ships, if the number of ships is too small than the other party, Then there is no possibility of victory at all, if it is really implemented according to the Tokugawa Ieyasu method, wouldn't it be equivalent to sending his own naval army to death? Such a fool will do such a thing that damages his strength and does not have any benefits.

Although the words were interrupted again and again, which made Tokugawa Ieyasu dissatisfied, he didn't say anything more because of this, but ignored Mori Terumoto, and continued: "This is the key point to say next, if you remember well, it is not only the Shimazu family that is entrenched near Satsuma in Kyushu, in addition to them, there is also the navy under the command of Li Dan of the Ming Kingdom, this navy is more powerful than the Kumano navy, if the rumors are good, there are dozens of big ships of the Ming Kingdom under his command, and there are nearly a thousand small and medium-sized boats." , If it can be said that Li Dan will participate in the war, then the final victory will definitely belong to us, as long as the Changzong family is limited to the four countries, then we can compete with the Gaoshan family without worries, everyone, if you want to go all out, in the next opinion, this is the only way. ”

"Li Dan?" This name made most of the samurai present feel a little unfamiliar, after all, they didn't care about the affairs of Kyushu, and even if they did, but across the sea and across the Otomo family, it was difficult for them to know the news of Satsuma Province at the southern tip of Kyushu.

But they didn't know, but Kinoshita Hideyoshi knew that with the importance of intelligence, he was no longer as ignorant of things inside and outside the territory as he used to.

"Lord Tokugawa, if we can have Li Dan to help us, then naturally we don't need to be afraid of the Kumano Water Army, but why should the other party help us?" Kinoshita Hideyoshi asked after thinking for a while.

"Kinoshita-sama don't have to worry, Li Dan as a pirate must be money, as long as we provide him with a lot of money, then he will not help him, and he definitely doesn't want to see the Takayama family dominate, once he is allowed to take over the world, then what can a pirate like him do, so as long as the price is right, I think he will definitely help him." Tokugawa Ieyasu said confidently.

In his opinion, no matter what country he belongs to, as long as he is a pirate, he must admit money and not people, as long as he recognizes money, it is easy to do, since the Kinoshita family has taken control of several large towns such as Kai Town and Himeji Town, there is no shortage of funds, and what can be done with money is obviously the most cost-effective for the present.

The more Kinoshita Hideyoshi listened, the more he felt reasonable, if according to what Tokugawa Ieyasu said, then the family only needs to call two naval armies, and there is no need to send a large army to destroy the Nagamune department, such a small force, after defeating the Takayama family, can be destroyed at will, this kind of proposal that can achieve the goal without occupying the military momentum, can be completely agreed.

Thinking of this, I only heard him say excitedly: "Lord Tokugawa said well, this matter will be done like this, first trap the Changzong family and my family." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Governor Konishi, and then said: "Yakuro's matter will be handed over to you, no matter how much money Li Dan wants, you can agree, I just need him to destroy the Kumano Water Army, haha." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will live up to the lord's trust." This kind of thing is not difficult for him, and spending money is obviously his specialty.

In March 1579, that is, four months after the end of this meeting, the Kinoshita family finally moved Li Dan to join the war with a large amount of money, and the reason why it took so long was not because things were not negotiated, but because Li Dan was not on the mainland at that time, and the small island outside Satsuma in Kyushu was just one of its many strongholds, and at that time he had already led his fleet to the South Seas to plunder, so it was delayed for so long. But anyway, the result still made Kinoshita Hideyoshi happy, although the money spent this time was as high as 30,000 guan, but it was said that Li Dan was moved to join the war, this deal now looks like it is still worth it, 30,000 guan can pull out the nail behind his back, and by the way, he will destroy the Kumano water army, everyone thinks that it is not a loss. After all, once it can be completed, it will be equivalent to completely controlling the coast, and when the decisive battle with the Takayama family is held, it is completely possible to send an army to attack Odawara at the time of the big battle, isn't this the strategy of the Takayama clan, and now let him taste this taste.

Ten days after Li Dan agreed to participate in the war, the two naval armies of Maori and Shimazu have been assembled in the waters of the northwest of Shikoku near the Seto Inland Sea, including 21 Ataka ships, 100 Seki ships, and more than 400 Kozao, it can be said that this is already all the ships that the two naval armies can dispatch, and fortunately, in this battle, they are going to sneak attack the Ataka Navy entrenched on Awaji Island, and Awaji is in the Seto Inland Sea, otherwise Kozai's small ships will be completely useless, if it is in the open sea, Such a ship can overturn it in just one big wave, but in the inland sea, there is no need to worry about it.

And this time, in addition to dispatching all the ships, he also appointed Kurishima as the general general, especially to lead all the ships and 2,000 sailors to launch a surprise attack on Awaji.

It was already late at night, but Nobuyasu did not sleep, but stood on the watchtower of the castle tower and looked out, he had been looking at the sea for more than 30 years, but he still did not get tired of seeing, the ripples on the sea from time to time made his heart very calm, such a view of the sea has become his habit, every night to look at it before he can sleep.
