"Drive! Drive! ”

Under the scorching sun, a soldier who appeared to be a detective of the Luo family rode like a gust of wind and sped across the main road running north-south from the town of Gakufu Castle, and suddenly rolled up billowing dust.

Kuro walked quietly in the shade of a tree next to the street. To his left is the main north-south thoroughfare of the castle town, and to the right is a row of brick houses. Everything was listless under the scorching sun, and the green leaves of the cotton trees in front of some of the houses changed color.

It's already the beginning of June, and this year's spring ploughing has just ended, and then the movements within the Luo family have almost immediately tightened, which can be seen from the frequent occurrence of some Luo family horseback scouts entering and exiting from Xuefu City in the past few days. And as a Hasaka family hidden in the territory of the Luo family, at the beginning of this year, Kuro also moved from Kishigaku Castle to Gakufu Castle to settle down, and then secretly contacted the maid of the Taijiu family again. Today, he went to the place where the orange stored the information to get information about the recent situation of the Luo family.

It's not that he wants to risk coming out to collect information during this daytime, it's just that the governor of the Luo family was assassinated in the castle town last year, so from that time on, he was not allowed to wander around the castle town after sunset, otherwise he would be severely interrogated by the castle town patrol. So Jiurou had no choice but to come out at this time.

"Judging from the last information, the Luo family is already preparing to make a move on Iki Island in July, I hope my brother and sister will be okay by then." Kurou thought as he walked.

After walking along the main north-south road for a while, he turned into a small alley in the commercial area of Joshita Town, next to the largest and most majestic Roche House in the town. Usually it is used as a place for loading and unloading goods at Roche House. Usually at this time, very few people stay here. After walking into the alley. Kuro quickly walked to the side of the weeds in the alley, stopped at a specially marked place, and then pretended to be casual and put a hand into the weeds, but after a while, his face couldn't help but change, because he didn't even find the note that should have appeared.

"Is that what you're looking for?" Just as Jiurou was trying to seriously explore it again, an unfamiliar voice came from behind him. Jiurou was immediately taken aback, and only then did he carefully observe that there was no one around. Why is there a stranger all of a sudden now?

"Don't look for it, we've been following you back from Karatsu? You're the last person to be arrested, so get to know each other and surrender. The stranger said lightly to Jiulang, who turned around in a hurry, and at the same time held a paper roll made of white paper in his hand, which was the information that the orange usually gave to Jiulang.

As soon as he heard the other party mention Tangjin, Jiulang was already shocked, he also met with a fine saku of his own family there yesterday, and the other party actually knew the truth? In the midst of his fear, he saw out of the corner of his eye that both ends of the alley were already guarded, and the other party was obviously very familiar with their whereabouts.

"I don't think we're doing it secretly. As a result, the other party has been monitored for a long time! Thinking of this, Jiurou sat directly on the ground as soon as his legs became weak......

At the beginning of June of the 19th year of astronomy (1550). The busy spring ploughing season has finally passed. After nearly a year of recuperation and the implementation of the Luo family's law, the Bungo and Chikuzen provinces, which were only included in the Luo family's territory last year, have finally recovered from the war and are on the right track of development. Of course, if it is to be completely integrated into the system of the Luo family, it will take at least another one to two years.

In terms of the surrounding heroes. The Luo family's diplomatic strategy in the Shikoku region did not make much progress, and except for the alliance with the Xitu temple family, other wealthy daimyo such as the Ichijo family and the Kono family were all on the sidelines of the olive branch thrown by the Luo family.

On the contrary, after the armistice between the Shimazu family and the wealthy families in the North Satsuma region, they once again pointed their guns at the wealthy families in the Osumi Province region, and the primary target was the strongest wealthy family in Osumi Province. It is said that the cause of the conflict between the two sides originated from a banquet. At that banquet, the retainer of the Shimazu family, Ijiin Tadaro, persuaded the governor of the Liver Fu family to change the family crest to the soup of the crane (the family crest of the Liver Fu family is based on two cranes, and the soup of the crane is naturally their scruples), which angered the liver and the family, and successfully provoked the liver Fu family. As a result, the relationship between the two families deteriorated rapidly, and Kanetoshi sent his wife (Shimazu Takahisa's sister) back to the Shimazu family, and then began to prepare for war in the territory, and the Shimazu family was not to be outdone, and was even mobilizing their forces to attack Kajigi Castle on the border between Osumi and Satsuma countries.

Since the external situation is relatively stable, and the domestic situation has stabilized, Masashi immediately prepared to attack Iki Island. For this strategy, the Luo family has been preparing for several months. Before officially going into battle, it is natural to confuse the enemies of Iki Island first. Therefore, Mr. Masarashi used the information of the Luo family's imminent attack on Iki Island in July through Tai Jiuling's maid Juzi, and used the intelligence system hidden in the Luo family's territory to transmit back to Iki Island, and then destroyed the entire Hachita intelligence network in one fell swoop when he was about to go into battle.

After completely destroying this intelligence network, on June 10, the 19th year of Astronomy, the naval fleet assembled in Karatsu Bay, Luo's house, officially went to Iki Island.

For the current Luo's naval army, they still use the main combat mode of engaging and broadside battles, and the ships are basically equipped with weapons such as flying claws, ramming horns, and rattan cards, while personal weapons are still dominated by long knives, bows and arrows, and spears. Of course, according to the development of history, with such a way of fighting, the Luo family's navy will not be able to compete with the Murakami navy and the Awaji navy, and may even be surpassed by the Shima navy that is fully developed, so Masara quickly imitated the Seto navy in the game in the workshop (the current Seto navy has not yet developed such a technique), and at the same time, he is also preparing to configure iron cannons for the navy. Of course, under the current situation that the number of Luo's iron cannons is limited, it can only temporarily let the navy and the iron cannon team cooperate to attack, and it is impossible for the navy to have its own independent iron cannon.

The so-called roasting, originally a type of cooking pottery with ear handles on both sides that could be used as a wok, was originally said to have been used to burn taro. Later, the Murakami naval army filled it with gunpowder, used the fire rope as the lead, and then used the rope to thread the ear handle, making the most primitive yakiti. When using it, light the fire rope first, and when it is almost time, you will hold the rope and throw it, on the one hand, kill and injure the enemy with the burst pottery shards, and on the other hand, ignite the enemy ship, which is really a fierce weapon. During the first Battle of the Kizu Kawaguchi in history, the Kuki Yoshitaka was unable to cope with such an offensive, and almost all of his 300 warships were destroyed.

In fact, the technical content of this kind of baking is not high, and the difficulty of imitation is very small, but it is a necessary thing for home travel, murder and arson. The biggest difficulty is to ensure the supply of gunpowder. Fortunately, now the Luo family also has a certain amount of gunpowder in reserve, so it is still enough to support this time.
