Although this room is not large, it is no problem for forty or fifty people to move freely, and the furnishings are so beautiful and luxurious that many viewers are fascinated by it for a while.

On the high and low tables, tables, and shelves, there are a dazzling array of treasures from all over the world, such as Hetian jade, Venetian glass, famous Chinese kilns, Baltic amber, Arabian gold pots, African ivory, and ...... Originally, it was an amazing treasure, but now it is so densely gathered in this close distance, and the visual impact on people has been infinitely magnified!

Anyone with a little common sense will know that it is a pity that so many precious things are broken? Don't worry, there's a two-inch thick Persian gold hanging carpet on the floor, and stepping on it feels like you're in the clouds. There are precious furs hanging on the walls, such as fire foxes, sables, white tigers, lions, leopards, and the most striking thing is a black bear skin hanging in the center, a black bear skin with a torso of more than three meters! On these furs hang all sorts of strange weapons, and on the outside are curtains made of Chinese silk and white light yarn.

The whole house is full of exoticism, a combination of Roman and Arabic West Asian style, the most extravagant Byzantine style in the world!

Entertaining guests in such a room, the banquet naturally cannot be shabby, and it can be described as a combination of East and West. Pheasants, partridges, snow geese, ducks...... More than a dozen kinds of poultry, steamed, boiled, grilled, fried, stewed, and stewed, including sea bream, tuna, sea bass, sturgeon, ...... Dozens of marine fish are presented in their purest form, and in addition to the usual sashimi, there is also a very fresh deep-sea caviar, which is something that has never been eaten in Japanese before!

Famous wines from all over the world are packed in strange containers, which stimulates people's senses and numbs people's nerves!

"Ha, ha, ha...... "I'm a little drunk, and I'm a little like Oda Nobunaga, and at this moment I feel as if I've reached a new height in life."

"From now on, the Seto Inland Sea ...... No, there is no one in Japan who can match Your Highness at sea, and I will salute Your Highness! A voice from across the table said to me.

"If I can't achieve such an effect, won't I spend such a large amount of money in vain?" I drank a full glass of red wine.

"Your Highness won't let the Star Fleet become an ornament, right?" A voice in the distance asked "courteously".

"How is that possible!" I pressed my hands on the table to try to sit up straight, but I couldn't do it because I couldn't do it, and Goto Matabei helped me from behind. "Tomorrow...... Woo, the day after tomorrow, all the ironclad ships will set off for the shore and Tiancheng wharf. After replenishment and repair, I will personally lead the team to Iyo to attack the Kurushima pirates who have been entrenched there for a long time! ”

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone instinctively suppressed the rate of their breathing. The words I said casually were like a bombshell, and everyone didn't know how to react.

"My lord! I'm afraid there are some problems...... "Nasa Nisuke is a rough man, and he has something to say in his heart, and he didn't think that there was anything wrong with talking about the military situation here, and besides, he was already a little drunk at this time. "Most of the ships under Weichen are old, and many of them have been damaged after this long journey. And this time I'm going to move, so I'm dragging my family with ......."

"It doesn't matter, I didn't plan on letting you participate!" I waved my hand at him and said nonchalantly, "22 ironclad ships are enough, you guys have a good rest first." Take turns to drive the broken boats into Sakai Town for renovation, and your people can also have fun in this flower world. I've prepared Zhensheng for your reward, but you can't make trouble! ”

"Thank you for the grace of the lord, we naturally won't make trouble for the lord!" Nasa Nisuke hurriedly got up and kowtowed, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"In addition to the reward and some of the food, you are going to live around here for a while!" I was slightly angry at the mention of this, and my face turned crimson as soon as I was drunk. "These Kiyi's dirt buns are really uninteresting, and a little sesame mung bean is the size of a crooked thing! But I've already explained Keiji, and the matter of your territory will be almost done......"

"Let the lord bother!" Nasa Nisuke instinctively thanked him. Most of the land near the sea is barren, so in general, pirates are converted from fishermen, and later after robbery became the main occupation, the village became a base of great significance. But now that these pirates have become my paid sailors, and the ships are all anchored in fixed military ports, and the land is just a place for his wife and children to live, he doesn't pay much attention to this matter anymore.

"Your Highness Yushu, are you going to attack Shikoku?" Imai Munehisa seemed to have keenly captured some information, so he asked cautiously.

"The four countries must fight, and it is impossible for the right general to let go of the three good and oppose the party!" I took out the majesty of being a famous military general, and slapped the table and said sharply. However, the conditions are not yet ripe...... "but after everyone's attention was concentrated, I suddenly let out my anger." At present, the Kumano Navy is still being integrated and expanded, and His Highness the Nine Ghosts said to me some time ago: It will take at least nine months to complete it all! I thought about it for a while and felt that I wasn't fully prepared, so I might as well wait another year. At that time, with the strength of the Kumano Naval Army, the number of ships of the Shikoku expeditionary force will reach more than 700, and there will be 29 ironclad ships alone, with a total of 50,000 soldiers. ”

"Wouldn't that require a lot of special supplies? After all, it's a cross-sea operation with a large number of people......" Imai Munehisa couldn't wait to say, lest someone else rob him of his business. "Unlike normal warfare, cross-sea warfare requires a lot of things to be used for construction. These items are sold in, but if you have a large amount of them, you should prepare them in advance! ”

"Regarding this issue, Hanbei has already made a plan, and most of the things will be raised through Sakai Town!" I stopped with a casual response, as if unwilling to talk about such a thing in the atmosphere in front of me.

"Then you're going to ...... this time," asked another merchant in the distance, confused.

"This time, for the safety of Sakai Town and Ishiyama Sea Passage, we will destroy the main force of the pirates on the island in one fell swoop!" My spirits immediately rose again, as if alcohol were the best catalyst for war. “…… As long as there are Kurishima pirates, it will be impossible for distant merchant ships to enter and leave the Seto Inland Sea freely. And this is something I absolutely cannot tolerate, and this 'cancer' must be completely eradicated! In addition, I want to take this opportunity to teach the Kono family a lesson, these guys who don't know how to settle down are always hooking up with some people in the western country, it's really annoying! To give them a little bit of power, this is also what His Royal Highness Yuchai meant. ”

"Oh~!" It was only then that everyone "suddenly realized".

"The Kono family is also a famous family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, is it a bit hasty for His Highness?" Tsuda said worriedly.

"Iyo is a big country of 360,000 stones, I didn't think about swallowing it in one bite, although the imperial court appointed me as Iyo Mamoru!" I scooped up a spoonful of orange roe with a long-handled silver spoon and put it in my mouth, and a cool breath with a slightly fishy smell flowed down my throat into my stomach, and I closed my eyes slightly, feeling that my brain was a lot clearer. “…… This time, I am going to dispatch 5,000 sailors and 2,000 ashigaru to attack only the area where the pirates belong to the island. The main reason for this fight was to try out my new ship and cannons, and it didn't take much time for me to come back when the shells ran out! ”

"Actually, this is also the kindness of His Royal Highness Yuzhou, if the Kono family understands the reason, they should be sober this time!" The Gamo clan boasted for me. In fact, he doesn't drink a lot of wine, and he is already like a heavy jujube when he only drinks white wine. “…… After so many years, the Kono family is no longer what it was back then, and now Iyo still takes them seriously. I hope that after this time, they can immediately understand that they can find a step down and be finished, and maybe they can keep more lineage and blood heirs! "Actually, he drank a little too much, and at this time, the Kono family was still able to control at least one-third of Iyo's power.

"Mr. Ernst, there is one thing I need to remind you of here!" I raised my glass at Ernst, trying to keep my eyes wide open. "The Shikoku Expedition a year later was an extremely important war, and although our army was strong, it was a cross-sea operation after all, and the enemy would definitely resist to the end by virtue of its geographical advantage. I don't want anything to run out of money at that time, so the two ships of shells I ordered from you must not be misplaced! ”

"You just have to rest assured, I won't delay your plan!" Ernst swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, looking extremely gentlemanly. "The supplies of our Dutch merchants are absolutely guaranteed, and I have personally confirmed again and again before that they will all be delivered to Sakai Town within seven months!"

"That's good, I'm going to let the cannon play the leading role in Shikoku!" I slammed my glass on the table, and some of the unfinished wine spilled out.

"If there is anything we can serve, we Portuguese are also very eager to do our part for His Royal Highness!" Gomez reached out and stroked his charles-style mustache, his eyes still shining. "I learned by accident that your navy is mainly armed with two types of cannons, the 'Kofilin' and the 'Franco'. It just so happened that I also had a batch of these shells in my hands, the quantity of which was about half a ship, which could arrive in five months! ”

"The more the merrier in times like this!" Satisfied with his "shrewdness", I nodded in approval of the new deal. "But...... This attack on the island pirates is more about taking care of the interests of both of you, should you consider making more efforts? ”

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, we Portuguese can't directly intervene in the military conflict in your country!" Gomez shook his head slowly, but his attitude was very resolute.

Ernst was quick to take the same position.

"Who told you to send troops, you think I won't do it!" I was very "indignant" that they misinterpreted what I meant. "I mean you can say something to the soldiers who fought bravely, and we can discuss this matter privately in a while!"

"Ahh Most people understood what I meant. Ernst and Gomez's faces were a little bitter, and some of the others were already in a hurry to leave.
