Chapter 349: The Surprise Brought by the Iceberg Big Cat Royal Sister
Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori were very guilty in the past two days, and they failed to build a castle in Sumamata twice in a row, but the monkey built a majestic castle overnight. The two of them are completely obedient to Wang Tian. Well, the guys who dare to rush into Inabayama Castle with sixteen people can't help but be dissatisfied.
The monkey has had a very good time in Sumamata Castle for the past two days, and he can figure it out now. That "Heavenly Evil Ghost" dared to use sixteen people to seize Inabayama Castle, which was definitely not a plan that he came up with in the battle to sharpen his spear.
He was not deliberately slapped in the face by Wang Tianxie and the head of the family. The matter of building a castle in Sumamata didn't fall on him originally, but Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori didn't do a good job, so it turned out to be his turn.
In other words, if Shibata Katsuie and Sakuma Nobumori successfully built a castle in Sumamata...... Then, "Taking advantage of the hard work of his subordinates in Sumamata, the main hall of the head of the family himself ran to take away the main city of Mino Province and snatched the greatest credit." This statement is going to fall on Shibata Katsuya and Sakuma Nobumori.
Thinking of this, the monkey was immediately relieved. However, since this is the case, the monkey can't help but think about how to expand his credit.
Mitsuhide Lori took 300 ashigaru troops of the orphan army and ran to Reina County, the easternmost part of Mino Province, to rebuild Akechi Castle, and successfully persuaded Ando Mori, Inabha Ichitetsu, and Shijia Buquan to surrender the three of Nishimino Mori.
With the help of the three of Nishimino, it is not too much of a problem for Takenaka Hanbei, a little Shota, to persuade the rest of Nishimino's generals to surrender.
Therefore, if the monkey wants to increase his own credit, Semino has no need to count on it. So, he set his sights on the lord of Unuma Castle in Mino, and Osawa Masashige, who has the title of "Unuma no Big Cat (Tiger)" in Mino Province.
In Wang Tianxie's impression, the monkeys in the previous life were also after building the city. ran to Unuma City to persuade the "Big Cat of Unuma" to surrender, and really let him succeed in persuading.
However, the sixth day demon king of the previous life refused to meet this feline of "the big cat of the Umaruma", and instead asked the monkey to behead the other party. As a result, instead of killing the other party, the monkey caused the big cat to bow down to the monkey. Became a member of the retainers of the monkeys.
Of course, in the time and space of the previous life, in addition to becoming a subordinate of the monkey, this "big cat of Urinuma" also unexpectedly caused the half-guards of Takenaka to take fifteen people to play a big drama of "Sixteen Horsemen Flying to Capture Inaba Mountain Castle", which amazed the whole world.
Sure enough, a week later, the monkey ran to Inabayama Castle with a "big cat of Urinuma" that had just been persuaded to surrender.
In this time and space where the demon king has become a moe king. Violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie don't need this big cat to help seize Inabayama Castle, which has long been in the hands of the Oda family.
Coupled with the existence of this Wang Tianxie, an evil guy who has always been disgusting monkeys and secretly inhibiting the development of monkeys, the two naturally happily met this big cat on the top floor of the castle tower of Inabayama Castle.
After the "big cat of Unuma" came to the two and knelt down, they first said polite words to each other such as "Did you eat today", and then the violent overage pseudo-Lori began to ask about the six counties of Higashiminon.
The current Mino Province has fallen into disintegration, and of course the Oda family, who holds Inabayama Castle, Sumamata, and the Ten Counties of Nishimino is about to take possession.
The second is the major wealthy families of Dongminon, although the wise family of Guangxiu Da Lori is also a leader-level wealthy family in Dongmino Country. But. Wang Tianxie and violent overage pseudo-Lori have always been a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the "big cat of Unumuma" has added great confidence to the two.
Especially in "The Big Cat of Unumuma" tells the two that the wise family who has ostensibly declined. After the huge practical background of Dong Minono, the two of them suddenly let go of the two big stones in their hearts. Well, why two? Because it's one for each person!
The surroundings of Inabayama Castle have completely calmed down.
The downpour before the rainy day was so violent that the rainy season, which was supposed to rage throughout June, ended early. The sky was clear again, not as gloomy as it had been before.
Wang Tianxie only stayed in Inabayama Castle for more than two weeks. That is, in the middle of June, I left Inabayama Castle and ran to Ise Bay. He didn't plan to go to sea, but the Li family fleet of Li Huamei, the big sister of the iceberg cat, came back from the Strait of Malacca.
Speaking of which, the iceberg big cat sister hasn't been to Ise Bay for a long time. No way. She has traveled almost half the world this time. From the port of Ningbo across the sea, we first ran to Ise Bay, then from Ise Bay to Brunei and Luzon in the South Seas, and then crossed the Strait of Malacca to Portugal.
Interestingly, when Wang Tianxie arrived at Ise Bay, in addition to the five five-masted Daifuku ships of the Ming Kingdom and more than 100 small and medium-sized ships of the Li family's fleet, there were also three galleons from Portugal.
The three Portuguese galleons were enormous, at least more than 100 feet long and more than 30 feet wide. The bow of the ship was inlaid with four large pieces of rolling wood, which were used to collide with enemy ships, and the hull was long and narrow, with a shipyard at the stern.
The ship was divided into three masts, one each in the bow, in the center and at the stern. The mainmast in the middle is at least three people hugging each other, and the bow looks similar, while the stern one is relatively short, and about one person can hug it.
The mainmast in the center and the submast in the bow of the ship were hung with soft sails on three sides, and the stern one was a smaller triangular soft sail.
Fifty Fran cannons protruded from the two sides of the ship, making the hull on both sides look like a hideous hedgehog. Hawkers, it's indeed very hideous, in this troubled world of the Warring States, artillery is a new item. Even Tanegashima in Kyushu, the place where the first contact with iron cannons was made.
"Heavenly Evil, let me introduce you, this is Louie. Mr. Pinter, this is Rob. Mr. Ferrella, this is Lawrence. Mr. Bate, they are all big merchants in Portugal. After Li Huamei, the big cat sister of the iceberg, saw Wang Tianxie, although she still had a straight face like an iceberg, her eyes revealed joy.
Walking with Li Huamei, the big cat of the iceberg, were three young men who were at least about 1.8 meters tall, with blond hair, blue eyes, and a big hat with a feather on their heads.
The trio often traveled between Sakai and Portugal and spoke a few words of Japanese and Brunei. However, when they heard the "Hello" from Wang Tianyi and the greetings from the authentic Brunei court, the expressions on their faces became both surprised and enthusiastic.
It turned out that although these three people were not interested in English, after all, the name of the empire on which the sun never sets still belongs to Portugal, but they really like this place in Brunei.
Brunei is now the hub of the world, and the capital, Kota Badu, is the center of Nanyang commerce, where merchants from Daming, Cochinchina, Siam, Pattani, Pahang, Java, Sumatra, Aceh, Maluku, Celebes, Luzon, Mindanao, Portugal and Spain await the ships and goods brought by the monsoon.
Therefore, when they came to Ise Bay with the iceberg big cat royal sister, they found that someone could speak Brunei and the court etiquette of Brunei, and their eyes were suddenly different.
Since it was already noon, Wang Tianxie, as the host, very warmly invited Li Huamei, the royal sister of the iceberg big cat, and these three Portuguese youths to dine in the "Onihime Hot Pot Izakaya" in Ise Bay.
When they heard that this almost overcrowded izakaya, and even more than 60% of the entire Ise Bay industry, belonged to the young man in front of him, who looked to be only twenty years old, the three Portuguese widened their eyes.
If this sentence hadn't come out of the mouth of Li Huamei, the big sister of the iceberg cat, the three of them would definitely not believe it if they broke their legs.
"Heavenly Evil, they found something, I guess you will be interested. So, this time I brought them straight over. When everyone sat down, the iceberg big cat sister suddenly said to Wang Tian as if the iceberg had melted.
"Yes, the next three heard that this little brother is looking for these things from the New World."
One of them is called Lawrence. Bate's young man took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Wang Tianxie. At the same time, the other two were named Louie. Pinter and Robb. The young man of Fei Leila also took out a small cloth bag from his arms.
Wang Tianxie took the three cloth bags and tossed them upside down first, and after finding that they were not very heavy, he opened them curiously one by one and looked at them, and suddenly his heart became happy.
I saw Lawrence. The cloth bag that Bate handed over contained sweet potatoes, commonly known as white potatoes. Louis. The cloth bag handed over by Pinter was relatively heavy, and it contained two yellow corns. As for Rob. Inside the cloth bag of Fei Leila, it is with Lawrence. Bet, like that, is also a sweet potato.
Rao is Wang Tianxie two lives, this life has been taught by the "Owari Country Big Cat" and the old man of Hete Masahide, and he has almost reached the point of being expressionless when controlling his emotions, and his eyes are still almost betraying the excitement in his heart.
Sweet potatoes are a ...... in the case of one acre of land. It seems that you can plant at least 10,000 catties, right? Compared with the current situation of four or five hundred catties of rice per mu of land, this harvest is not ordinarily high!
You must know that one stone of rice is sixty catties, and one acre of land is about eight stones at best. But if it is replaced by white potatoes, 10,000 catties is 167 stones, which is a full increase of 20 times!
The massive increase in food supply naturally represents a significant decline in the demand for human resources for farming. This is definitely a very beneficial thing to compete for world dominance in this troubled era of the Warring States.
You know, there are fewer people farming, but the population will not decrease. What do the extra people do? Of course, it's joining the army, or joining the army, and joining the army! (To be continued......)
