When Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, he could not pass on the national seal, and he had no choice but to engrave the seal of the "Emperor's Divine Treasure" and other seals, and passed it to the Song Dynasty. During the time of Zhezong, a farmer named Duan Yi found the seal of the country when he was plowing the field and sent it to the imperial court. According to the records of the previous dynasty, thirteen scholars believed that it was the seal of the first emperor. However, people of insight in the government and the opposition are suspicious of its hypocrisy. In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers broke through Bianliang, the second emperor of Huiqin was plundered, and the seal of the country was plundered by gold thieves, and then disappeared. In the thirty-first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the ancestor Kublai Khan collapsed. The jade seal of the country suddenly appeared in Dadu, sold in the market, and was purchased by the power minister Boyan. In the twenty-eighth year of Yuan Zhizheng, Hong Wuye was called the emperor in Jiankang, called Daming, changed to Yuan Hongwu, and then went to the Northern Expedition, Meng Yuan abandoned the Central Plains and went to the north of the desert, and the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country are unknown! ”

"This is ......," Lao Liang said in a trembling voice.

Lao Qin put a piece of plain cloth on his hand, stretched out his trembling hands, and gently took out the big jade, and on the front of the jade seal, there were eight words - Lao Liang read it softly, and his voice was full of piety:

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!"

Iwami country, five miles outside Kangcheng, on a high hill.

Lian Zining stood on the high post, holding the thousand-mile cylinder in his hand, and observed Kangcheng in the distance, but what appeared in his eyes was a scene that he had seen enough.

The gates of Kangcheng were wide open and undefended, and a group of people dressed in ornate aristocratic costumes were standing at the gates, looking at something, while on the city walls, less than two feet high, there were two large flags, one of which read in Chinese 'Greeting the Lord Company of Wu Yijun'. On one side, it was written in Fuso script: 'Welcome to Lord Thor!' ’

Lian Zining looked at it and was sure that there was no conspiracy in it.

He put down the Qianli Cylinder in his hand, and as soon as he put it down, a Qianqian Su hand took it, took the Qianqian Cylinder in his hand, and then reached into his arms, took a thick piece of paper, and unfolded it, but it was a map of the southern part of Fuso, including the southern part of Honshu Island and Kyushu Island, on which a small range was circled with a red outline, but it was the current Iwami Province.

Taking the map, Lian Zining bowed slightly to Jiang Li Yena, who was standing on the side.

Seeing him looking at herself, Erino couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and then quickly put her smile away, lowered her head, and took a step back.

She was dressed in heavy plate armor and carried a two-handed sword almost the length of her on her back, but she did not have a helmet on her head, which was now hanging from the saddle of the war horse behind her.

Now she and Lian Zining are the closest, only less than one step away, and the other guards, such as [***] Jin and Shi Dazhu, are all staying seven or eight steps away, as if they are specially leaving space for the two of them.

It's been two days since the banquet in Tachibanayama Castle.

In the next few days, Wu Yi's army and the Tachibana family's army joined forces and advanced from west to east.

What they didn't expect was that the battle situation was unusually smooth, starting from the border between Nagato Province and Iwami Province, advancing all the way to the location of Iwami Silver Mountain, more than 100 miles of road, all the castle villages they passed through were all open and surrendered, and even the soldiers and officials of the temple family were never seen.

Seemingly overnight, the rule of the Terauchi family collapsed.

In fact, Iwami Country also has a ruling body, and it is not the Terauchi family, but the Terauchi family maintains the garrison of Iwami Province.

Iwami guardian was originally the Ouchi clan, but the dominance was not strong, the country was full of people, when the Otomo family was powerful, he used troops against Iwami country, and once occupied the entire land of Iwami country, but then it was jointly suppressed by the temple family and the dragon temple Takashin who was still dominating Kyushu at the time, and had to retreat, it was because of this change that the Otomo family was extremely decayed, and was taken advantage of the situation by the thunder god Tachibana Michiyuki, and took the foundation!

The large amount of silver seized by the Otomo family in Iwami Silver Mountain was also obtained by Tachibana Daoxue, which made the rise of Tachibana Michiyuki extremely rapid, and quickly established the position of the first overlord of Kyushu Island.

After that, Iwami Country was occupied by the Terauchi family, and later the thunder god and the Terauchi family competed, so the two countries each occupied half of Iwami Province, and some time ago, the Tachibana family and the Goto clan were at odds, and they were unable to divide the troops to occupy it, so they had to withdraw their troops, and this Iwami country was occupied by the Teranachi family again.

But no matter who occupies this place, they don't give the Ouchi clan anything, not because of how popular the Ouchi clan is - in fact, the popular heart in Fuso doesn't work at all, and the big fist is the overlord - but because the Ouchi clan is too sensible...... No matter who occupies this place, the Ouchi clan treats people as their own fathers, yo, you're here? Hurry up and offer some silver from Iwami Silver Mountain, your old man doesn't have to worry at all, how many years have our Ouchi clan been in Iwami Province, and everyone in this place is familiar! You are here, you don't need to do it yourself, you don't need to suppress the people, you mine by yourself, you say, how much does it cost a year, let's drive those untouchables to mine it for you,. But there's one thing, hehe, we also have a family of hundreds of people, and a little leakage in your fingers is enough for us to eat.

That's about it.

This is also the reason why the Ouchi clan can survive in the Fuso Warring States that is competing for hegemony and is still alive and well, this dog is too easy to call.

But Lian Zining doesn't need this dog, he and the Tachibana family are half of the stone and the silver mountain, originally looking at how to get a little more silver, where will he give the Ouchi clan a share of the profits? Moreover, the Ouchi clan has occupied Iwami Silver Mountain for many years over the years, and the oil and water must be extremely fat, which is also a lot of silver!

Moreover, Lian Zining is sure that after introducing the modern management mechanism and performance reward mechanism, he will definitely be able to operate better than the Ouchi clan and mine more silver.

In fact, Iwami Silver Mountain was mined until the 19th century, and if it can be pushed back another 300 years now, its mining potential must be extremely huge, and it is not necessary to worry about digging up the veins at all, and all that is considered is how to dig out the silver.

Lian Zining didn't need it to be mined for three hundred years, and he couldn't wait to hollow out this stone and silver mountain in a year.

Therefore, along the way, the officials of the Ouchi clan were detained and arrested on the spot, and the whole class was replaced by people from the Tachibana family.

However, due to the good news blockade, it did not spread, so these towns in Iwami Province were still open to welcome along the way, and it didn't take half of the effort of Lian Zining and Tachibana Michiyuki.

In front of him is the capital of Iwami Province, Kangcheng, which is also the largest city in Iwami Province. And among the mountains behind Lohas Park is the location of Iwami Ginzan!

Occupy this place, and Iwami Silver Mountain will be in hand.

Just like those cities in the past, Kangcheng also opened the city gates, without resistance, to welcome the arrival of Lian Zining and Tachibana Michiyuki, and the posture was extremely low, among the group of people who greeted them at the city gate, it should be the governor of the Ouchi clan!

But Lian Zining did not feel the slightest ease in his heart, but it was even heavier, the temple family did this, and its purpose seemed to be only one, that is-strong wall Qingye!

If you give up these territories to yourself, you will divide your troops to guard them, and the troops will be dispersed, and once the troops are dispersed, the forces used to deal with the temple family will be greatly reduced, and the pressure will be greatly reduced. Lian Zining is not afraid of this, after all, his Wu Yi army can not divide the army, what he is afraid of is that the entire family in the temple will huddle into the lair and not fight with his real guns!

He has seen what kind of virtue these big names of Fusang can be managed by his own old nest, and he is really a husband and a man, not to mention that the capital of the temple family is still Shuicheng, which is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Unfortunately, a flurry of information suggests that things are going in a direction he doesn't want to see.

The Terauchi family withdrew their troops, and the Terauchi family transported all the military warships to the capital, and the Terauchi family burned all the unharvested grain on the shore of Lake Daxiong, and snatched all the food from the residents' homes and the women who were a little beautiful into the water city...... Everything is undoubtedly a manifestation of what the Terauchi family wants to do.

He shook the map in his hand, took his finger and measured it, in this era without scale, he had to roughly estimate, after Kangcheng, there were still fifty miles from the Izumo country of the Terauchi family, and one hundred and thirty miles from Lake Okuma...... Soon!

He folded the map, and as soon as he folded it, Eli Yana on the side took it and folded it into his arms.

Lian Zining looked at her and smiled slightly.

After the banquet, Lian Zining repented from the mountain castle, and Tachibana Michiyuki gave him Enashi Nona to be his maidservant.

Although Tachibana Chiyo is reluctant, she also knows that this is the best destination for Enashi, and she was almost boiled as a living tea by the Governor of the family, although she was finally rescued, but the entire Tachibana Mountain Castle no longer has a place for her, and she will be excluded by everyone.

This is clear to Chiyo Tachibana, and so is Rinano.

Therefore, she silently became Lian Zining's maid, or rather, a part-time personal guard.

Lian Zining didn't want it at all, he didn't know what Jiang Li Ye Na was holding back when he came, what if he stabbed himself in the neck while he was asleep? Or Tachibana Chiyo patted her small chest and assured that Erina was a person who knew how to repay her kindness, and she would definitely not do anything indiscriminately. Moreover, the Fuso samurai, who takes obedience to the master's orders as their duty, even if Lian Zining lets her die, she will also commit suicide immediately.

Lian Zining accepted her in disbelief.

Naturally, he didn't dare to rest assured, these days, he has always been on guard and careful observation, but he finally put his mind at ease.

A person, if she has a ghost in her heart, no matter how she hides it, she will show her feet in small subtle movements, and Lian Zining has always been very good at observing such small details.

But in the past few days, he really didn't see anything abnormal about Jiang Li Yena, if she was so good at pretending, Lian Zining could only sigh to himself and be blind.

It seems that as Tachibana Chiyo said, Erina is grateful, and really intends to be his servant girl honestly, well, or the general is more accurate.

And I have to say, these two days. Jiang Li Ye Nai is indeed very comfortable serving Lian Zining, don't get me wrong, this comfort is not comfortable, Lian Zining is not so anxious.

Jiang Li Ye Nai has received the education of serving people since she was a child, so she knows very well what Lian Zining needs when she needs, and after two days of getting along, Lian Zining has a look and a subtle movement, she knows what it means, and immediately handed over the things she needs, so careful and delicate, where can those rough men compare?

During the day, he wears armor and follows the field, and at night he adds fragrance to his red sleeves and smiles, which is really a beautiful thing.

It is really a very comfortable thing to have a woman by your side, a careful woman, especially when this woman herself is very good at fighting, and will definitely not be a drag but will protect you, that is a great enjoyment.

Lian Zining has already tasted the sweetness.

There are many women around him, but most of them are delicate and weak, and they can't help but be timid, and it is impossible to bring them to the battlefield. Qiwei has good combat effectiveness, but it is really unrealistic to expect that tough girl to serve her, and Eri Yena naturally fills this gap.

General, well, that's good.

"All the troops! Goal, Cannes! After confirming that there was no ambush, Lian Zining waved his hand and gave an order!

The order was passed down, and all members of Wu Yijun marched forward in great strides.

Lian Zining and Jiang Li Ye Nai and others also got on, at this time, suddenly a distant horse galloped over, it seemed that it was Wu Yijun dressed up, he came to the front, rolled the saddle and dismounted, staggered over, came to Lian Zining in front of the horse and kowtowed. Lian Zining really saw that it was the person he stayed in Hizen Port.

He frowned, what happened to Hizen Port?

"What, what's wrong?" Lian Zining frowned and asked.

The knight stood up and said, "If you go back to your lordship, the little one doesn't know, but the eldest lady sent the little one to send a letter to the adult, saying that it is 100,000 urgent!" ”

"Oh? Cheng Yu sent it? Lian Zining's brows twisted deeper, Cheng Yu has always been very sensible and knows the general situation, this time the letter sent by 100,000 urgently, what happened to Hizen Port?

The knight handed over the bamboo tube, Lian Zining just wanted to take it, but a slender jade hand next to him took it, checked the bamboo tube up and down, and said, "The fire paint has not been damaged." ”

Then he split the bamboo tube again, took out a piece of white silk from it and handed it to Lian Zining.

Lian Zining nodded, this girl is really caring.

opened the white silk and read it carefully, the expression on Lian Zining's face changed from casual to dignified, with a faint hint of excitement and ecstasy that could not be hidden!

Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!

God, what good luck did you take? This wild and barbaric land of Fusang not only reaped great benefits, but also found such a rare treasure!

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!"

Lian Zining muttered these eight words softly, and his skin involuntarily trembled, and he couldn't help but shiver a few times in a row.

This is, the seal of the country!

This is my Chinese nation, up and down for 5,000 years, 80,000 miles, the first treasure in the world!

In all dynasties, all emperors, only those who have obtained this national seal can show that he is the supreme in the world! He just walked with the sky, was born in response to the sky, and is the master of the world as he should be!

This is the meaning of the national seal to countless scholars and bureaucrats in China and hundreds of millions of Li people!

At the beginning, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and he had to get this heirloom no matter what, even if he was missing a corner, he had to make up for it with gold. Later, Emperor Hongwu Jianji ascended the throne, dying of the world, but he repeatedly conquered Mobei, of course, in order to sweep away the remnants, but the greater purpose is probably to get this national seal, in order to prove that he obeys the heavens!

But in the end, nothing was found.

No wonder there is nothing, who would have thought that my treasure of Huaxia would fall into the hands of a great name in Fusang?

Lian Zining suddenly had a twist in his heart, this is the treasure and jade seal, should he keep it for himself, or do he offer it?

Before he could finish his heart, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and a horse galloped over, wearing a red fat jacket from a knight, dressed as a Ming army.

Lian Zining's eyebrows were twisted again, what's going on? Why are there so many things going on today?

The knight came closer, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and was just about to kowtow and salute, when Lian Zining had already said, "Don't be polite, hurry up and say something?" Word of mouth or letter? ”

The knight handed a fire-lacquered envelope and said, "This is the eldest lady asked the little one to send it to the adult, saying that you must open it yourself." ”

Jiang Li Ye Nai just wanted to reach out and open it for Lian Zining, but when she heard this, she shrank back.

Lian Zining shook his head suspiciously, what's the matter, two letters a day, did he find any amazing treasures?

Looking at the appearance of the two messengers, the difference in departure time is probably no more than a tea time!

When I tore open the envelope and shook it, a small note fell out of it, and when I opened it, it was Cheng Yu's slender and beautiful handwriting:

"Brother, a letter from Beijing, my little sister forwarded it! The stakes are high, and we hope to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

As soon as he saw the four words of the letter from Jingzhong, Lian Zining's heart suddenly lifted, and for him, what he was most worried about was what happened in Beijing. That place, those people, are beings who can decide their own fate!

Quickly shook off the letter, watched it carefully, looked at the letter, the look on his face was cloudy, and the expression on his face was also extremely complicated, some excited, some excited, some unwilling, intertwined.

After reading the letter, Lian Zining stood for a long time and was silent.

Finally, a hint of determination flashed on his face, and he waved his hand violently, and said in a deep voice: "Dazhu, give the order, all the soldiers turn around on the spot and turn back to Feiqian Port!" ”

"Huh?" Shi Dazhu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, isn't this all about to hit the capital of Iwami Country, why do you want to go back?

But after all, he was well-trained and battle-hardened, and he soon came to his senses and said loudly: "Yes! ”

Just obeyed, without the slightest question, in the collective of Wu Yijun, everyone has adapted to Lian Zining's voice, one mind, only need adults to give orders to execute, and there is no need to have their own decisions.

They carried out the four words of obedience to the extreme!

After that, he went down with the people to give the order.
