……

The country of Gaoshan was later known as the island of Taiwan. Takayama Province is the name given to it in Japan, and it is recorded that Toyotomi Hideyoshi once sent an envoy to Takayama Province to ask the Takayama King to pay tribute to him.

In China, there are quite a lot of names for this treasure island, and the first to officially arrive in Taiwan was Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period who sent Wei Wen to find Yizhou and Bozhou recorded in ancient books. In fact, before the Three Kingdoms, there were records about Taiwan in various Chinese dynasties, but they were only records. It wasn't until Wei Wen officially set foot on the land of Taiwan that this treasure island had its first real name.

It's just a pity that although Sun Quan found Taiwan, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and in fact, the successive dynasties after the Three Kingdoms have taken a blind attitude towards this treasure island in the mouth of later generations of Chinese.

It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that the Penghu area of Taiwan was officially placed under the jurisdiction of Jinjiang County, Fujian Road, and troops were sent to garrison it. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the development of Taiwan was still limited to the Penghu area, and perhaps for the Huaxia Dynasty, which was rich in land and resources at that time, what they needed was only the coastal checkpoint of Penghu.

Strictly speaking, though, this situation is also normal. After all, in ancient times, because of the limitations of scientific and technological productivity, they only focused more on the territory they already occupied. This is true of both Japan and Chinese dynasties.

For example, in Japan, there is a huge Ezo Island, and the Japanese have known about its existence for a long time, because the position of the general of the Seiji was set up to crusade against the Ainu people on Ezo Island. However, it was not until 1868 that the Meiji government officially developed Ezo Island.

This is so not because the Japanese at that time were not prescient, but because ...... Honshu Island has not been developed well, how can they have the spare time to take care of the wild land of Ezo Island?

In the same way, Taiwan is even more so for the Chinese Dynasty, because there are too many areas in the huge land of China that need a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to develop. In particular, the dynasty of the Chinese land has to be changed every few hundred years, and every time the dynasty is changed, it is accompanied by serious damage to the developed areas of the Chinese land.

In this way, which dynasty will have the leisure time to manage the wild land of Taiwan? The people who really developed Taiwan for the first time were actually the Dutch and Spaniards from Europa.

Unlike the Chinese Dynasty, these people from the countries of Europa had already suffered enough from the small size of the country, and it coincided with the Age of Discovery, and almost all the Europa people who went to sea were holding back their strength to find the borderless land.

Belch...... Okay, that's too far, back to the point.

Looking at the huge island in front of him and the dense woods on the island, Oda Yoshinobu couldn't have been more excited. Although the voyage was not long, after the decisive battle with the king squid, Oda Yoshinobu's desire for land had reached an unprecedented urgency. Well, in fact, except for Oda Yoshinobu, everyone on the ship is like this.

"My lord, according to the charts, there is the mountain country mentioned by Lord Guoxin, which is recorded in the ancient books of his country. And the other end of the island is the land of Mingguo! Da Zhuhe said excitedly.

Although she also tried to calm her tone, it was clear that at this moment, she couldn't suppress her mood at all.

"Excellent! Pass the order and go full speed! Let's get a good rest! Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said.

"Whoa, whoa!" Hearing this, everyone shouted excitedly, huh...... They could only shout, because even if they wanted to fly directly to the island, they couldn't make the ship go faster.

Even so, the fleet soon sailed into the waters off the coast of Takayama Country, which was already close to land.

"Crane, find a good place to stop, remember to count that big guy in~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled lightly.

"Don't worry! Lord! "Da Zhu Crane answered quickly.

An island, there are naturally many natural harbors, but considering the size of the king squid, Dazhuhe still searched for a long time before finally finding a place to dock.

"Yo, this place is a good natural harbor~" Oda Yoshinobu looked around and smiled.

As soon as Oda Yoshinobu finished speaking, he heard Li Huamei's ill-intentioned voice coming from behind him, "What...... Lord, are you thinking about something bad again?! ā€

"Ahem...... Hua Mei, I don't mean anything else! It's true! Oda Yoshinobu looked at Li Huamei embarrassedly, and coughed twice before smiling.

It's just that with so many lessons from the past, how could Li Huamei easily believe Oda Yoshinobu's words? "My lord, I want you to know that there is still a huge Ezo Island in our family that has not been developed! And when you return to your own country, most of your energy will definitely be focused on unifying the world! ā€

"That's it! Is that! I thought so too! Oda Yoshinobu said with a serious expression, but I don't know why, the more Oda Yoshinobu is like this, the more Li Huamei wants to beat him.

The fleet slowly approached, the huge anchor was thrown into the sea, and Oda Yoshinobu and the others couldn't wait to walk down. The moment he stepped on land, Oda Yoshinobu couldn't help but moan, "I've never felt that the feeling of stepping on the ground is so good!" ā€

"Hehe, this is called down-to-earth~" Li Huamei said with a smile.

"Hehe~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at the king squid who was still dying in the sea.

"Is there any way you can keep this king squid from decaying after death?" Oda Yoshinobu asked, looking at the people.

Hearing this, Guoxin stood up and said respectfully, "My subordinates can make some medicines that keep the corpse from rotting, but it doesn't work for this king squid, so I don't know." ā€

Speaking of which, although Guoxin had become a retainer of Oda Yoshinobu before, it was more because of Oda Yoshinobu's coercion and the desire to study the three artifacts.

It wasn't until Oda Yoshinobu continued to show his martial bravery in the back, and now that Oda Yoshinobu defeated the king squid, that Guoxin really regarded Oda Yoshinobu as his lord. In his words, if such a god-like man could become his retainer and make meritorious deeds, it would be the greatest honor of his life.

And the big Zhu He on the side also spoke, "My lord, my subordinates also know some ways to keep the sea from rotting too quickly. ā€

"Then you two can experiment with it, and before that, don't kill it~" Oda Yoshinobu said, and couldn't help laughing, "This is my trophy!" I must bring it back to my brother to see it! ā€

"Please rest assured! The subordinates will definitely come up with a way to save the body of the king squid as soon as possible! Hearing this, Da Zhu He and Guoxin hurriedly responded.

It's just that just as Oda Yoshinobu was about to send someone to inspect the surroundings and camp to rest by the way, there was a commotion not far away.

"Hehe, it seems that the master here has come to welcome us~" Oda Yoshinobu chuckled.

"Maybe they're planning to expel us?" Li Huamei said with something to say.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly looked at Li Huamei helplessly and said, "Huamei, let's not do this~ Am I like the kind of person who wants to occupy a place when he goes to a place?" ā€

"You are!" Li Huamei nodded firmly and affirmatively.

Hearing Li Huamei's words, Oda Yoshinobu was about to confuse the past, but suddenly saw a flash of worry in Li Huamei's eyes. In a trance, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly understood why Li Huamei was like this.

Well, in fact, to put it bluntly, it's very simple, where is the country of high mountains? The opposite side of the Ming Kingdom! It is only a strait that is not too far away from the Ming Kingdom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is across the sea. If Oda Yoshinobu takes the Takayama Kingdom, will Oda Yoshinobu turn his attention to the Ming Kingdom after the unification of the world? Li Huamei didn't know, and she didn't dare to think clearly.

Li Huamei looked at the man in front of her blankly, thinking about the possibility of war between the Ming Kingdom and the Oda family, and at this moment, she suddenly found herself in a warm and familiar embrace, and then, she heard Oda Yoshinobu's voice.

"Don't worry, Huamei, no matter what the future holds, I won't be an enemy of Mingguo!!" Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, at this time, his expression was extremely serious.

"Lord......" Li Huamei heard this, and she didn't know that her careful thoughts were seen through by Oda Yoshinobu, and she was immediately moved and ashamed. Naturally, there is no need to mention the excitement, but she is ashamed, but because she has been constantly testing Oda Yoshinobu because of her selfishness of killing herself.

Belch...... Then again, it seems that the natives of Takayama Country are approaching them, right? Is it really good to not care so much about their existence?

Who knows? Anyway, whether it's Oda Yoshinobu or Li Huamei, they don't seem to care too much about these locals. In fact, in the entire Oda army, no one cared about this group of troops that suddenly appeared. If anything, they can call it a troop.

Clothes made of the fur of unknown animals, spears, bows and arrows made of bamboo, and other weapons in their hands, and their faces painted with flowers and green, completely look like primitive people. And the most important thing is that all of them combined, there are only more than 100 people, how can such a situation make the Oda army, who had just experienced the King Squid incident, feel any nervousness?
