Li Dan listened to Li Xiao's plan and said: "This is a method of internal and external trapping, if Lord Li uses this strategy easily, it is easy to be angry by the people." (It only takes 3 seconds to remember the genius)"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a choice." ”

After a pause, Li Xiaozheng said: "In fact, the matter of water war is also a precautionary measure, you must know that if I start a war between Vietnam and Nengdeng, the shipping of Vietnam and China to the west will definitely be cut off for Nengdeng. ”

Li Dan listened to Li Xiao's words and felt that it made sense.

After the Ming maritime merchants purchased a large amount of silver from Iwase Minato, they were all transported to Hirado in Kyushu by coastal road, and then transported back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang by Hirado for digestion.

And the Francois people are similar, they generally go to the first line of Hirado Macau.

In case of a war with Notomine and no success for half a year, then Li Xiao's sea access will be cut off, and even the silver sales will be stopped.

This is also what Li Dan and they don't want to see.

Li Dan listened to a look of solemnity on his face, the strategy can be ascended is secondary, if he loses the silver of Yuezhong, it will definitely be a huge loss for him.

He asked, "Presumably Master Li is confident, so how to guide me and ask for instructions?" ”

Li Xiao opened his mouth and said: "To cut off the waterway, we must first exterminate the Nogamine Army, so that they have no strength to fight. ”

Li Xiao pointed to the map to Li Dan and Wang Tanzhi.

Kashimazu is located near Nanao Castle, the capital of Noto Prefecture, and is located in the waist and belly of the Noto Peninsula, which is today's Nanao Port, and is a natural harbor.

Wajima Minato, on the other hand, is one of the seven minatos of Mitsu, and if the Noto Peninsula is compared to a sword that stabs out into the sea, then Wajima Minato is the place where the tip of the sword is.

Wajima Minato was the midpoint of Japan's trade from the west to the east, and it was the only way for Kitamae ships to trade to the northeast in the past, and it was also a difficult place for ancient sea ships to pass through.

Therefore, Wajima Minato is equivalent to the existence of a port of refuge and a transit station, and his importance in Mitsu Nanato is even greater than that of Iwase Minato, which Li Xiao is based on.

Even today, Wajima Port has the highest density of ships in Japan.

Li Xiaoyan said: "I have already fallen asleep before the Nengden Navy, and now there are only three out of ten, and the main force of its Navy's army is stationed in Wajima. I need you Ming Sea Ships to defeat the main force of the Noto Navy and blockade Wajima Minato. ”

Li Dan looked at the map and said: "Wajima sailors don't have a house ship, and the number of sailors is small, so it's not difficult to defeat them. It took too long for the ship to turn back from Iwase-Minato to Wajima-minato, and it was impossible for the ship to stop at sea for a long time. ”

Li Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, my navy will attack Zuodu in June this year, and after capturing this island, my navy will be stationed on the island to block the east-west traffic." I will give your fleet a license to resupply Sado Island. ”

Li Dan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, if Li Xiao seemed to take extra care of their Ming State maritime merchants.

And at present, Li Xiao's navy is delaying in the battle to capture the Sado country, so he asked himself to help, as for facing the Wajima navy that has been reversed by two-thirds of Li Xiao's army, with the strength of the other party, these Ming armed maritime merchants do not pay attention to it at all.

After Li Dan listened, he felt that this was a great opportunity to help Li Xiao, so he discussed it with Wang Tanzhi.

Li Dan replied to Li Xiao that he needed to go back and discuss this matter with the principals before giving Li Xiao an answer.

Li Xiao saw that they did not object on the spot, and knew that the problem was not big, so he left the two to entertain a dinner before sending the two away. …,

After that, Li Xiao summoned the general of the navy to Xiang Jing Masatsuna, and Qianhe Sun Bingwei to discuss the matter of attacking Sado.

After a year of training, coupled with Li Xiao's strong intervention, Xiangjing, Qianhe and the two have become Li Xiao's henchmen and generals, and completely control the Viet Cong Naval Army.

Xiangjing Zhenggang reported to Li Xiaoyu about the power of the Vietaka Navy, and the Navy now has Xiaozao, 31 ships, 2 Etsukaku Ship Hida Maru, and 2 Echichu Maru.

On weekdays, Mukai Masatsuna relied on various maritime merchants to make a profit from the collection of sail money and traffic materials, and maintained the scale of the navy.

Asked about the preparation of the Sado raid, Xiang Jing Zhenggang said to Li Xiaoyan: "In order to save expenses on weekdays, the scale of our Viet Nak and Zhong naval forces is less than 1,000 people. ”

Li Xiao frowned and said: "The last time we attacked Sado, the navy also dispatched more than 2,000 people, and after landing, we didn't give Kawahara Honma and Yumao Honma a big defeat. ”

Xiang Jing Zhenggang looked ashamed when he heard this, and lowered his head.

Li Xiaoyan said: "I think so, the fishermen who were temporarily recruited, the fishermen are not familiar with land warfare, so I will send the general of the Shenbao family, Terashima, to lead 300 people, and follow you to attack Sado." ”

Mukai Masana and Chiga Sun Bingwei both sighed, indicating that they received their orders.

Immediately, Li Xiaoyan said: "After the success of the Sado raider, the descendants of the Honma family must be taken care of, and then sent to Yuezhong, and then all news exchanges on the island will be blocked, and outsiders will not be allowed to enter the island at will, understand?" ”

Mukai Masatsuna, Chiga Sun Bingwei glanced at each other, and they were all puzzled.

Of course, Li Xiao would not explain the specific reason to the two of them before Sado Jinshan arrived, but said: "Just do it." There is also a strategy After the success of Sado, half of the naval army was left on the island, except for the royal merchants of the Uesugi family, to intercept all merchant ships going back and forth from east to west. ”

Li Xiao didn't want to intercept the Uesugi family's royal merchants, and of course he didn't want to easily anger Uesugi Kenshin and give him the excuse to attack.

However, once he occupied Minato Wajima and Sado Province, it would be equivalent to holding the lifeblood of Echigo Naoetsu's maritime trade in his own hands.

An important economic lifeline of the Uesugi family was the transportation of Echigo's specialty green ramie to the town of Tsuruga in Echizen, where it was unloaded and disembarked and transported to the towns of via Lake Biwa.

If the Uesugi family dares to start a war with Li Xiao in the future, Li Xiao can use the economic stick to sanction the Uesugi family by severely taxing the green ramie and even cutting off this trade.

This move is also similar to when Li Xiao used the monopoly of salt and iron to force Sister Xiaolu and the inner island to suffer a big injury.

Mukai Masatsuna just didn't think so far, he asked Li Xiaoyan rhetorically: "My lord, if the navy of my family is all going to Sado, then how is the defense of Iwase Minato, and what if the Echigo navy takes advantage of the emptiness of our army to attack Hong Kong?" ”

Li Xiao laughed at this, and said: "It's okay, let the southern barbarians, the Ming maritime merchants come out to face the Echigo navy, don't forget, they have an industry in Iwase, if the Echigo navy attacks the port town, their losses will not be inferior to mine." ”

"It's a win-win and a loss-all, and they've been tied together by me, so there's no need to worry about the safety of Hong Kong at all."

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Xiang Jing Zhenggang and Qianhe Sun Bingwei were all shocked, they didn't expect that Li Xiao had already arranged the means to deal with the Echigo Navy without moving, and he still borrowed someone else's knife to do this.

Noto country, the capital of the country, Nanao Castle.

Nanao Castle faces Nanao Bay, and not far away is Kashimazu, and from the castle you can see the sea that Notoru has in the distance.

The name of the castle is seven tails, the origin is taken from the tail root of the mountain, a total of seven tails, namely Matsuo, Takeo, Plum Tail, Chrysanthemum Tail, Guwei, Tiger Tail, and Dragon Tail. …,

For the next 150 years, it has been the seat of the government and the center of the domination of the country, radiating to the Noto Peninsula.

At the time of the Onin War, most of the public and literate people whose houses were destroyed by the war were displaced from Hokuriku, and the Fuya culture flourished in Nanao, and later generations also called it Hatakeyama culture.

When the Gohatasama family was in full swing, after many years of operation, the castle continued to increase, and its castle town was called a thousand gates, and the range was more than one mile.

Raise your head to the city and look into the distance, the seven-tailed city on the top of the mountain, the clouds are displayed, the clouds and mountains are surrounded by fog and sea, and the majesty is like the heavenly palace.

During the battle of Nanao Castle in history, when Uesugi Kenshin attacked the castle, he once said: The mountains and the sea are facing each other, and the situation is dangerous, and it echoes the islands from afar, although it is difficult to describe the beautiful scenery of Danqing.

Of course, the more famous is Uesugi Kenshin's "September 13th Night Formation"

The frost is full of autumn in the barracks,

A few lines have passed the three watches of the wild goose month.

Over the mountains and get the scenery of Nengzhou,

Remembering the expedition of Mo's hometown.

In Japan, this castle is also listed as one of the five major mountain castles in Japan, along with the Kasuga mountain castle of the Uesugi family, the Kannonji castle of the Rokkaku family, the Gassan Tomita Castle of the Niko family, and the Otani Castle of the Asai family.

Now in this majestic Nanao Castle Honmaru castle tower.

The three elders of the original Hatakeyama family, three of the seven people of Hatakeyama, Chang Xulian, Wenjing Jinglong, and Yuzuo Xuguang, sat facing each other like a zigzag.

These three people are actually the presiding officers of the Noto Hatakeyama family, which now exists in name only, and the power of the four counties of Noshu is also divided between them.

But right now, although these three people are gathered in a room, they don't match their faces and hearts, and a year ago, they were still fighting each other, eager to live and die, but now they have done it in a room* and discuss the plan as a retainer of the Hatakeyama family, which is simply a dream in the same bed.

Among the three, each of them swept their eyes over the other two from time to time, and neither of them would speak first, and the atmosphere in the castle tower was also contagious to the outside of the room, and the attendant samurai of these three people, each holding a sword to the handle, stared at each other fiercely, for fear that the other would do something wrong.

In this stalemate, an old man with half a hundred hairs and a hooked nose among the three of them spoke up first.

His voice was a little hoarse, but he was not in a hurry or slow between the words, and the words were clear, and he said: "Not long ago, a messenger came from Wakasa, and he brought me a letter from Oda Danmasa. ”

"Is it Oda Danmasa who is in full swing right now?"

The other two were shocked.

The old man nodded and said, "It's the world-famous Oda Danmasa, he means that we can climb the Hatakeyama family and be loyal to the Oda family!" ”
