Under the porch of a building, Hao Kang stomped his feet on the non-slip linen doormat. Waiting for the ice and snow on his shoes to fall as much as possible, Hao Kang pushed open the door. Pass through the doorman with your ID and enter the interior of the building with a lot of space. The air in this vast space was filled with the smell of books, which made Hao Kang's eyes light up.

Hao Kang immediately ran to the reading room, where there were various newspapers. Picking up the newspaper folder of "Da Song Daily", Hao Kang sat down at the long table and looked at it. His favorite is the "Da Song Daily", and since he can remember, he has seen his father Hao Ren often read these things. Because he tore the newspaper, he was scolded by his father. From then on, Hao Kang understood that it was okay to read newspapers, but he had to treat them well.

The latest newspaper wrote the New Year's Day speech of the Great Song Dynasty official family in 328, in which he told about the achievements of 327 years, the per capita grain output of the Great Song Dynasty was 700 catties, and the total steel output reached 1.9 million tons. In the land of the South China Sea, rubber plantations and palm plantations began to supply rubber and palm oil to the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court hoped that people who were interested in getting rich through labor would go to the south to explore.

For Hao Kang, a child, these things can give him a familiar feeling. After a long migration of several years, Hao Ren lost most of his belongings, including Hao Kang's favorite toys. The newspapers followed Hao Ren through the long journey. Not only does his father Hao Ren like newspapers, but Hao Kang's mother also likes them silently. Seeing the news about his hometown, even if he saw the news several years ago, Hao Kang felt that his mother would be silently moved.

The news of the Mongolian war in the New Year's Day speech could not make Hao Kang particularly conceptual, anyway, Mongolia fought every day, and Hao Kang had long been used to it. His father, Hao Ren, only looked forward to westward expansion on weekdays, and never complained about the war. Hao Kang also has no special feelings about war.

After browsing the "Da Song Daily", which gives a sense of stability, Hao Kang went to read other newspapers. Newspaper short stories or serialized stories, serialized comics are Hao Kang's favorites. He couldn't tell what was so good about those things, but he felt that the stories and comics were outlining a lot of different worlds for him. Each world was very different from the one he was familiar with. This freshness made Hao Kang can't help but indulge in it. The war stories in the comics are very attractive to Hao Kang, such as the Yue family's military breaking the kidnapping horse with a hook and sickle.

At this time, at the station of the Iyo Navy on Shikoku Island, three or four thousand regular combatants of the Iyo Navy were practicing hook and sickle guns. In the Seto Inland Sea, the 20-oared clipper boat docked steadily at the dock, and Lin Hui, the head of the former forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, boarded the long trestle and walked quickly to the shore.

Most of Shikoku is mountainous, and there is no place where thousands of people are allowed to practice on a large scale. In order to defend the farmed bamboo rafts on the shore, the sailors are also scattered along the coast of Shikoku Island. Lin retired from the sect head and could only take a boat to various stations to patrol and guide.

Seeing Sect Lin coming over, those trained sailors hurriedly surrounded and saluted. Sect Leader Lin didn't say hello, so he asked these people to demonstrate martial arts. The head of the sect thought that the battle would be in the beginning of spring, but he did not expect that although it was snowing on Shikoku Island, there would be no snow. At this time, the mountains and forests are still green, watching the moisture linger. Practicing martial arts outside, the clammy and cold breath seeps into the bone marrow.

There are many ways to use the hook and sickle gun, and Lin Jiaotou is doing preparatory activities to warm up his body as soon as possible. The technique he was going to teach these people was mainly to attack the suspender part of the traditional armor of the Wa Kingdom, and the soldiers wore the armor bare-chested, the shoulder area was so close to the neck, and the sharp sickle could create a life-threatening wound if it was hooked back.

Only halfway through the lesson, there was some commotion in the ranks. A dozen thatched monsters covering the top and large ones below appeared nearby. Soon someone caught up with him, and although Lin Jiaotou was still practicing martial arts, he was also a little distracted. Those thatched monsters are mountain dwellers of Shikoku. The thick thatch is their winter coat, and the guys inside the thatch are naked.

Originally, the head of the sect thought that the Iyo Sailor was already very poor in clothes made of sack pieces. Compared to the attire of the mountain people of Shikoku, the sack piece of clothing is truly tall. What made the head of the sect a little uneasy was not the difference between sacks and thatch, the shape of those thatchs was too gloomy, and no matter how you looked at it, it gave people a bad feeling. With such a close distance, the head felt the smell of thorns in his back.

Fortunately, the mountain people did not stay long before the deal was over, their naked bodies were wrapped in crotch cloths, clothes made of sack sheets, thatched clothes, and quickly left the training ground. Those strange figures disappeared into the mountains and forests, and the head of the Lin sect couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This round of inspections took more than ten days, and by the time Lin Jiaotou rushed back to the headquarters of the Iyo Water Army, New Year's Day had already passed. Just as a new transport ship arrived at the port, unloading a shipment of grain. Lin Jiaotou felt that his responsibility had arrived, so he officially took his leave and prepared to leave the place of the Wa Kingdom. The Great Song ship raised its anchor the next day and stood on the deck, Lin Jiaotou looked at Shikoku Island. The place where you can see is a mountain except a mountain. Looking back at the places I've been to these days, there are also mountains and mountains, and there is no decent flat land.

In this place, in addition to poverty, it is still poverty, recalling the wealth of the Jiangnan region, Lin Jiaotou hopes that he will never return to Shikoku in his life, and will not return to this place where he can't even wear pants.

As the ship departed, Naruto returned to his headquarters and gathered the leaders of the Iyo Navy. Zhao Naruto opened his mouth and asked, "We will definitely be attacked by the Kamakura Shogunate this year, do you have the determination to fight to the death?" ”

"If I can't eat a liter and a half of food a day, I might as well die." Hinata replied dryly.

When the leaders of the families heard this, they burst into laughter, and this really spoke to their hearts. The reason why the Iyo naval army was willing to leave their homeland to become Japanese was not because they were cruel and murderous by nature, but because they were hungry. Put some bamboo rafts on the beach to raise pearls, you can have a full meal, and in a few days there will be chicken and tooth sacrifices. This made everyone feel unprecedented happiness. The thought of someone ruining such a day made the commanders want to wave their weapons at those guys.

"In that case, we can't just wait foolishly for the shogunate to attack us. There are six flatlands in our four countries, namely Takamatsu near us, 400,000 in the south, Kagawa and Tokushima in the north, Kochi in the east, and Tengu in the middle. There's not a lot of population over there, so we might as well take these places. ”

If Lin Huijiao heard this, he would probably laugh. For the Jiangnan people who have seen the horizon of Henan and Hebei, there is no such thing as flat land in Shikoku. However, for the locals of Shikoku, the flat land really exists. And they are all controlled by those forces that the Iyo Navy once couldn't provoke. These forces are all on the side of the shogunate, and at this juncture of life and death, the Iyo naval army has no other choice.

The Takamatsu region was on the northwestern coast of Shikoku, and they were separated from the current stronghold of the Iyo Naval Army by a promontory more than twenty miles long that spread out into the sea. If you go by land, you have to pass through many mountains. The Iyo naval army was reluctant to pass through the difficult mountain roads, so they quickly gathered a fleet and rounded the cape and headed straight for Takamatsu.

Takamatsu's guardian heard that the Iyo Navy was coming, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his coat. While ordering the wooden walled city to be guarded, Takamatsu sent people out of the castle to the seashore and waited on the path of the Iyo naval army. Instead of killing the messenger, the navy brought him to Zhao Naruto. Passing through the procession of weapons, the messenger was already trembling. Each soldier of the Iyo Naval Army was dressed in neat linen clothes, which were sewn with great precision. These linen clothes were paired with a black hat that represented the official status, and they were no less than the earthly clothes of Shikoku.

The soldiers did not only have linen clothes, they wore bamboo armor with shoulder pads. The leader who led the linen soldiers was wearing metal armor, and the armor on the periphery was mostly a strange black, and the further you walked inside, the armor began to glow. When he arrived at the commander-in-chief, there were seven or eight pieces of silver or gold armor shining in the sun.

Under the banner of the Iyo Naval Army, stands a white-bearded man wearing golden armor. The envoy pretended to be bold and asked, "Is it Your Excellency Zhao?" ”

Zhao Naruto replied, "I am Zhao Naruto. ”

The messenger did not say much, but knelt down and saluted. This ceremony did not surprise Zhao Naruto, and whether there is an officially recognized surname in Japan is an extremely important matter. Privately proclaimed surnames will not be recognized, and will even be crusaded. Having a foreign surname in a foreign country is also not recognized. Zhao Mingren was probably the only person in hundreds of years to be recognized as a foreign surname by the Wa government, as his surname was given by the Great Song Emperor.

Just such an acknowledgment means that the Hojo family will also treat Zhao Naruto with the same courtesy as nobles, and the guardians will not consider their status more noble than Zhao Naruto.

If it was only the Iyo Naval Army that rebelled, the envoys sent by Takamatsu Guardian would certainly be afraid of the Iyo Imperial Army's force, and would not have the slightest respect for these people who didn't even have their names. Now leading the Iyo naval army was the commander of Zhao Naruto, and it was natural for the envoy to kneel down and salute Zhao Naruto respectfully.

Zhao Naruto asked, "Did Takamatsu's guardian send you here to surrender?" ”

"Nope. Guardian, please don't attack Takamatsu, once the battle starts, it won't be good for everyone. The messenger replied respectfully.

"When he attacked our Iyo Navy last year, didn't he start a battle?" Zhao Naruto said contemptuously.

"That's just that the guardian obeyed the orders of the Kamakura shogunate, not that the guardian was dissatisfied with His Excellency Zhao." The messenger struggled to say something that he himself felt was hopeless.

Zhao Naruto sneered: "Then you go back and tell Takamatsu Guardian that if he is willing to sacrifice the city, we will spare his life." But if he refuses, he will die when we enter the city. ”

"Your Excellency Zhao. How much grain do you need to avoid attacking Takamatsu. The messenger tried to convince the murderous Naruto.

"Grain? We, the Iyo Naval Army, are not short of food at all. Zhao Naruto said mockingly. The leaders around him couldn't help but laugh out loud. Iyo also knew that the treatment of these people was the best treatment here, which was one and a half liters of grain a day. Now the Iyo Naval Army, who are out to fight, each person has two and a half liters of food every day, and there is chicken soup for every meal.

After the messenger left, the Iyo naval army continued to advance. They stopped in front of the wooden walled city, and did not rush to attack, but began to assemble the counterweight trebuchet. This trebuchet is much smaller than the return cannon, and can project a stone in 20 catties at most to a distance of 50 meters. Although it is not powerful enough, it can be easily assembled using the metal parts provided by Da Song.

After listening to the envoy's report, Takamatsu was not sure how to deal with Zhao Naruto's arrogance when he heard a loud noise outside. Not long after, the defenders rushed in and reported, "The Iyo Naval Army has begun to attack the city!" ”

When the guard rushed outside, he saw a scene that made him tremble. The outer wall made of wood with the thick mouth of the bowl was smashed out, and through the hole flew in large stones. The sound of crashing continued to be heard on the outer wall, and on the watchtowers at the four corners of the outer wall, the soldiers who were observing the enemy's movements screamed a few times, and if you listened to their voices, it seemed as if Takamatsu had fallen.

The guardian was furious and shouted: "Go to war, fight away those water armies!" ”

The word "navy" in the Great Song Dynasty represented a powerful regular army, equipped with steam wagons and ships with huge artillery. It was a powerful force that the Great Song Dynasty relied on to control the 100,000-mile sea frontier. In the Wa Kingdom, the meaning of the navy was pirates. The defenders in Takamatsu were officially recognized as a regular force, so how could they be frightened by pirates?

Not long after, the gates of the Walled Takamatsu Castle opened. The trapped beast Gao Songjun held his shield and rushed out with a shout. Guarding a body of bamboo armor, unlike a soldier, his bamboo armor has a wider suspender, and his upper body is not naked, but wears an upper body bamboo armor with shoulder pads.

According to the current tradition of the Wa Kingdom, the subordinates who guarded it shouted loudly: "The enemy general on the other side, are you willing to fight us?" ”

This kind of call is not a bluff, and the main generals of both sides or those who are good at heads-up fight alone in front of the battle, which is called 'one horse fighting' in the Wa Kingdom. As soon as the shouting on Takamatsu's side fell, a person came out from the Iyo Naval Army. I saw that the man was wearing silver armor and holding a wild sword that glittered with silver light.

Katana swords can be divided into types according to their shape and size, such as taiji, hitto, rib (rib finger), and short sword. It is called Notai Sword, also known as Daitai Sword, which mainly existed in the late Kamakura period to the middle of Muromachi, and is called Notai Knife (Daitai Knife) when it is more than 5 feet in length.

The Guardian couldn't help but swallow. The size of the silver-armored warrior on the opposite side was about 1.5 meters, and the length of the wild sword was more than 5 feet, which was a little more than the size of the silver-armored warrior. The silver knife is matched with the silver armor, and the guardian is compared to the time.

But at this time, there was no room to retreat, and the guard didn't dare to use a katana anymore, so he picked up a spear and met it. The two sides stood opposite each other, and before the guardian could speak, the silver-armored warrior drew his long knife, threw down the silver scabbard, and killed it. The Notai knife is so long, the blade must be widened and thickened, otherwise it will be easy to break. Seeing the notai sword of the martial artist opposite, the guardian was overjoyed. Compared to ordinary Notai knives, the blade of this knife is much narrower and thinner.

Wielding the spear, the guard proves a hard bar with the silver-armored warrior on the opposite side, and struggles to collide with the Notai sword with the spear. To the guardian's surprise, the knives and spears collided, making a crisp sound, the blade trembling, and the silver light flashed. Not only did the long knife on the opposite side not break in the slightest, but the silver-armored warrior held the knife in his right hand and pressed his left hand on the back of the knife, and the katana slid along the body of the spear and slashed directly at the guard's hand.

The pain was severe, and the guard could no longer hold the spear. He screamed, clutching his injured hand and retreating. At the same time, he shouted hoarsely: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”

The archers of the Takamatsu Army had already prepared, and when they heard the guard's order, they immediately shot arrows at the silver-armored warriors. Seeing the silver light flashing, the warrior just used his hand to block the T-shaped hole in the face armor, at least two dozen arrows were hit, but none of the arrows could penetrate the silver armor, and all of them were bounced aside.

The warrior raised the wild sword and killed it. When the archers and ordinary soldiers saw this situation, they shouted, left the stunned guard Takamatsu and fled to the city. Behind them, the Iyo Naval Army rushed up with a shout.

Takamatsu Castle was conquered by the Iyo Navy in half a day.
