Chapter 1001: Battle for Maritime Supremacy (10)
There were not many people who participated in this meeting, not even ten people, after all, the general of the navy is different from the army, and the samurai who can become the general of the navy is not enough to know water, and being proficient in water warfare is the standard for becoming a samurai.
Although there are few people, but at this moment their faces are all showing a relaxed smile without exception, not to mention the people who came to the island family, from today this Awaji Island will completely belong to them, not only here is there a water wall that originally belonged to the Ataku family, and the island of Awaji is a land of 40,000 stones, the island family not only became a daimyo with this island, and after the victory, they finally broke away from the jurisdiction of the Maori family, thus becoming the navy directly under the Kinoshita family, It is naturally better to follow the Kinoshita family than to follow the Maori family to be a minister, and he is not an ordinary subordinate, but a force of his own, once the war with the Takayama family starts in the future, the Kinoshita family's dependence on himself must be indispensable, as long as the family contributes at that time, once the Takayama family is eliminated, it is not impossible to change a big country to be the lord of the country, even if they fail to achieve their wishes, then they are also determined to be the first water army in the world.
And the Shimazu family's navy is so powerful, it is impossible not to have a reward, and even to say that they have received more than coming to the navy, before leaving the army, Kinoshita Hideyoshi has made a promise that once the Kumano navy is eliminated, then the Kumano beach will be theirs, and they will also enter the Kinoshita family, leaving the status of a minister.
This makes Mei Beikuni and the others even happier than the Shima family's navy, because Kyushu is too close to the Ming Kingdom, and there is a much stronger Li Dan Navy, which makes it difficult for them to develop, if they wait for themselves to obtain the Shima Country, it will be different, Shima is located in the middle of Honshu, far away from the powerful pirate forces of the Ming Kingdom, plus the Takayama family navy has been destroyed, there is no one to compete for, and more importantly, Kinoshita-sama arranged to come to the island navy and himself, so it is clear that it is used by the Shima family as a defensive navy, The main navy is used for attacking, after all, starting from Kumano Beach is much closer to Odawara Castle than starting from Awaji, and after the Takayama family is eliminated, the title of the world's first naval army may not refer to who.
Although the two navy armies had their own thoughts, it did not affect their mood, and after everyone sat down and praised each other, they only heard the general manager of Kurishima said: "Now that the Ataka navy has been destroyed, the people of Meibei will be able to lead the army back in a few days, and the people who guard the Seto Inland Sea will be completed by coming down." ”
It is understandable for him to say this, this time the task of the two water armies is to eliminate the Ataka Water Army, and now the Ataku Water Army has been completely destroyed, and the task is completely completed, and although the Water Army of Laijima and its worship are the same master, there is this water army stationed on Awaji Island, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable, so it is best to let them leave.
And Mei Beikuni is a little reluctant, it's not that he doesn't want to go, but he thinks that he is tantamount to helping the island water army to seize Awaji, this is a big favor, his current water village has not been found, it is difficult to come to the island water army at this time should not also lend a hand, and lead the army to the Ise Peninsula with himself to help the war, Li Dan's water army is strong, although there is no need to worry, but if there are two families to help the war, then it can also eliminate the Kumano water army early and let himself get the reward early.
It's just that in this battle, Kurishima is always the main general, and the strength of the Kumashima Navy is slightly stronger than the Navy under his command, so he didn't directly say the dissatisfaction in his heart, but said in a different way: "Lord Kurishima, I think that this is not the time to collect the army for defense, although the strength of the Navy under Li Dan is strong, but the strength of the Kumano Navy is not weak, if there is any accident, the Kumano Navy in the home station is still far away, so don't worry, but the location of Awaji Island is really a little worrying." ”
It's not that Mei Beiguo is just worrying, but that's the case, is the strength of Li Dan's navy strong? Naturally, it is stronger, even much stronger than the Kumano Naval Army, but this time Li Dan is not pouring out of his nest like this, when he went out of the army, he deliberately looked at it, the other party dispatched only fifty Ming galleons and three hundred medium-sized sailing ships this time, such strength is also in the middle of the Kumano Naval Army, and coupled with the Kumano Naval Army occupies a geographical advantage, it is really difficult to say who will be born and who will be lost. Therefore, although Mei Beiguo did not say it directly, he also expressed his intentions.
Kuraishima always knew what he meant, this was obviously hoping that he would lead the army with them to help in the war, but in his opinion, this was a joke, and he helped Mei Kitakuni to capture Shima? Is this simply self-inflicted, let him get the Shima country as soon as possible and then go hand in hand with the family? So what he wants to see the outcome most is that Li Dan and Nine Ghost Jialong are both defeated, and then he leads the army to clean up the mess, so that even if the Shima country is still Mei Beiguo, but he can drive the Kumano Navy's ship back first, how many ships the Kumano Navy's ship is clear, no more, as long as it is still thirty percent intact, then his strength can be more than doubled, and at that time, there will be a few empty bars left for Mei Beiguo, even if the other party wants to catch up with the island navy, it is simply impossible, The ship is the foundation of the navy, and this is always well known to the island.
So when the other party mentioned this matter, I saw him shake his head and said: "Meibei people, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that the order from the main bus is to let me wait to eliminate the Anzhai Water Army, if I don't receive the order and go out without authorization, if the lord blames it, I can't bear it, so I can't do anything about it." ”
After all, the other party helped him seize Awaji, so he didn't want to tear his face with Mr. Tong, so the best way was to push the matter on the lord, so that even if Mei Beiguo had any dissatisfaction, he couldn't find himself to vent.
Mei Beiguo listened to the other party's mouth about a lord for a while, and a lord for a while, and suddenly felt a little envious and jealous, obviously after winning Awaji, Kurishima Tsuji has directly become a retainer of the Kinoshita family, and he has not yet got Shima, he is still a minister, this identity makes him feel that he is shorter than the Shima family, and the idea of seizing Shima as soon as possible is also a little stronger.
And although the other party carried Kinoshita-sama out, he knew that this was just an excuse, the navy was not an army, and there was still a lot of freedom, especially this time he went to help in the war, how could Kinoshita-sama be blamed.
