Yu Dayou looked at Tao Xingfang with a look of surprise, but his eyes fell on the Dongying soldiers behind Tao Xingfang.

To tell the truth, after fighting with Zuo Mu Shangbei and those Dongying warriors before, Yu Dayou really glanced at the Dongying soldiers, and subconsciously thought that the Dongying soldiers themselves were not bad.

But at this moment, when Yu Dayou looked at the group of soldiers behind Tao Xingfang who looked like farmers, Yu Dayou's eyes really widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

These Dongying soldiers who followed closely behind Tao Xingfang, except for a very few people who wore armor and held sharp blades in their hands, the other soldiers did not even have leather armor, and the weapons carried by many people turned out to be forks, hammers and even sharpened bamboo as weapons.

Yu Dayou asked himself that the soldiers who were least like the army were those soldiers of the Ming Guards who had almost become farmers, but even those soldiers of the Ming Guards, many of them had worn cotton armor and weapons that could kill people.

However, this will make Yu Dayou feel that he can't believe what he is seeing, these Dongying people who rushed out of the city in the distance will not be a group of Dongying farmers.

It doesn't matter if Yu Dayou doesn't care about Yu Dayou, who let the one who stopped them before, and fought with them is the real elite of the Ouchi clan, the huge Iwami country, in the process of decades of large and small conquests, it has only screened out more than 100 elite samurai.

These elite samurai can be said to have blood on their hands, killing like hemp, and they can definitely be called the elite of the elite.

The army led by Chu Yi this time was full of 50,000 soldiers, and they were selected from the Ming army to be familiar with water, and many of these soldiers were actually just ordinary soldiers.

Most of the men and horses led by Yu Dayou have experienced wars, otherwise, don't look at the number of people and the well-equipped, but they may not have fought to kill the more than 100 samurai who were supported by the Ouchi clan.

There are dozens of large and small countries in Dongying, and conflicts often break out between these so-called countries, ranging in scale to small and large, the two sides may not have more than 1,000 people combined, and on a large scale, there may be tens of thousands of people on both sides.

However, the conquest between these countries has a very characteristic that after a big battle, there are not many dead and wounded, and the real reason is that the two countries are fighting, and the direction of a war is often determined by the elite samurai who occupy less than 10% of the number of warring people on both sides.

After seeing the ferocity of the samurai who gathered the essence of the Ouchi clan, and looking at the Dongying soldiers brought by Tao Xingfang at this time, Yu Dayou only felt that the gap was too big.

The hundreds of warriors before were not afraid of death, and no one surrendered even if they fought to the last man, and this alone could not be found in the Ming army.

How amazing the Dongying warriors were at the beginning, so when they saw these Dongying warriors at this time, how big the gap between Yu Dayou and the others was.

A military commander looked at the peasant-like soldiers in front of him, and subconsciously took a breath and said to Yu Dayou: "General Yu, these ...... These can't be Dongying's people! ”

Even these ordinary soldiers saw that the gap between the two waves of Dongying soldiers was so big, so it was reasonable to regard the Dongying soldiers brought by Tao Xingfang as farmers.

Tao Xingfang is no stranger to the Chinese language, and he can hear the conversation between Yu Dayou and his subordinates clearly.

The distance between the two sides was not too far, but Tao Xingfang could clearly hear Yu Dayou's words, and when he heard that these Ming soldiers actually regarded them as Dongying farmers, Tao Xingfang's face suddenly turned red with shame.

He Tao Xingfang thinks that he is the first person to train and command the troops of the Ouchi clan, but now it is good, the Ming generals on the opposite side actually regard the soldiers and horses he has spent a lot of effort training as farmers? How can this not make Tao Xingfang extremely embarrassed.

Ouchi Yoshixing, who was dizzy, finally came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Tao Xingfang opposite, Ouchi Yoshixing shouted almost instinctively: "Tao Xingfang, come and save the master of the family!" ”

Yu Dayou looked at Tao Xingfang opposite with interest and those Dongying soldiers.

When it comes to the number of people between the two sides, the soldiers who came with Tao Xingfang at this time are more numerical than the people behind Yu Dayou.

If these soldiers are all as fierce as the previous Dongying warriors, Yu Dayou will inevitably choose to retreat as soon as possible for the sake of his subordinates.

But when he looked at the group of Dongying soldiers who were like farmers on the opposite side, Yu Dayou couldn't help it, and the long knife in his hand slapped the buttocks of the war horse under him, and shouted with a little excitement: "Sons, rush with this general!" ”

Suddenly, hundreds of horses rushed straight to Tao Xingfang on the opposite side and waited for Dongying's soldiers.

These Dongying soldiers have never seen such a scene, you must know that when they fought between the two countries in the past, although they said that there were a lot of people and horses on both sides, they were more just waving their flags and shouting, filling up the number of people on the side.

In fact, what is really fighting is just the real elite of the two countries, the fight between the samurai class.

At this moment, I saw the Ming soldiers coming straight towards them, which made these Dongying soldiers panic.

Tao Xingfang had a bit of panic on his face, and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everyone, stabilize ......"

"Kill!"

With a shout, I saw that Yu Dayou had already rushed to the front, and the long knife slashed directly at Tao Xingfang.

In the face of Yu Dayou's blow, Tao Xingfang instinctively drew his sword to block, but Yu Dayou took advantage of the impact of the war horse, coupled with his own strength, and he actually flew Tao Xingfang out with one blow.

saw a mouthful of blood spurt out of Tao Xingfang's mouth, and the whole person knocked several Dongying soldiers away, staggered up, and looked at Yu Dayou with a bit of jealousy.

A group of Ming soldiers who followed behind Yu Dayou filled the Dongying soldiers, and suddenly they were like chopping melons and vegetables, and only killed the Dongying soldiers.

Many of the Dongying soldiers were even more frightened, scurrying around like headless flies.

Several of Tao Xingfang's henchmen saw that Tao Xingfang was split away by Yu Dayou's blow, and immediately set up Tao Xingfang and fled to Iwami Castle.

Tao Xingfang fled, and the remaining Dongying soldiers completely collapsed, wailing everywhere to avoid the pursuit of the Ming soldiers.

"Hahaha, happy, really happy!"

A Ming commander stabbed a Dongying soldier through his vest with a spear and threw it away, leaving the corpses of Dongying soldiers everywhere on the ground.

It was just a tea effort, and most of the hundreds of Dongying soldiers were killed, and the rest of them fled away one by one.

When Yu Dayou led the men and horses to the front of the city, he only heard a clang, and the gate of the city was slammed shut.

Immediately before the city, although this city is almost more than one-third lower than the city walls of the Ming Dynasty, which are often several zhang high, but no matter how you say it, this is also a city wall.

Yu Dayou himself can kill the city wall without hindrance, but these soldiers he brought do not have his ability to climb over the wall.

Tao Xingfang, who fled back to Iwami Castle in embarrassment, finally returned to the city at this time, lying on the city wall, looking at Yu Dayou and other Ming soldiers a few feet away from the city, thinking that the hundreds of people he brought with him had only escaped back to dozens of people, Tao Xingfang couldn't help but feel sad and annoyed.

"Shoot them, shoot them!"

Patting the city wall, Tao Xingfang couldn't help but shout out in a gaffe.

The clanging arrows were blocked by a dozen shields.

Yu Dayou glanced at the city calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

In the port, Yu Dayou returned to the port with Ouchi Yoshixing, who was captured, and asked to see Chu Yi.

When Yu Dayou took Ouchi Yixing to see Chu Yi, Chu Yi's eyes swept over Ouchi Yixing, and the corners of his mouth showed a little smile and said: "Yu Dayou, you have done a good job, and it is not in vain that this king values you so much!" ”

If this were an ordinary person who was praised by Chu Yi like this, I am afraid that he would not be able to help the surprise in his heart, but Yu Dayou seemed very steady and saluted Chu Yi and said: "The last general will not dare to be!" ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Ouchi Yoshixing's body, swept over Ouchi Yoshixing's clothes and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

Ouchi Yoshixing couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Chu Yi and the group of Ming generals who were clustered around Chu Yi like stars and moons.

Even if Ouchi Yixing is a fool, he knows that Chu Yi's identity is not simple, but unfortunately he doesn't know Chu Yi's identity, otherwise Ouchi Yixing is afraid that his eyes will fall.

Ouchi Yoshixing looked at Chu Yi with a little panic in his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "I am the lord of Iwami Country, the head of the Ouchi clan, Ouchi Yoshixing, you ...... Who are you, and why are you violating my Iwami country? ”

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the captive in front of him, who looked very well dressed, would be the lord of Iwami Country.

Iwami Guodai clan, since Chu Yi had been planning to conquer the land of Dongying for a long time, he naturally sent people to collect information about the countries of Dongying early, so after Ouchi Yoshixing blew up his identity, Chu Yi naturally matched the number.

A general on the side looked at Ouchi Yoshixing and said with a little disdain: "Haha, just because you dare to call yourself the lord of a country, it's ridiculous, when you see His Royal Highness the Martial King of my family, don't you hurry up and see you!" ”

Ouchi Yoshixing's head suddenly exploded as if it had exploded, his eyes widened, and he looked at Chu Yi in disbelief.

King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yi.

The name of Chu Yi has already spread to the land of Dongying with those maritime merchants, maybe there are no legends about Chu Yi in those countries in the interior, but there are places where Ming merchant ships dock in coastal countries such as Iwami Kingdom, and there are legends about Chu Yi.

It is just that Ouchi Yixing has heard rumors about Chu Yi, among the rumors, Chu Yi is almost synonymous with murderous maniacs, and there are also rumors that Chu Yi is the pillar of the country, and the general of the building will fall, and he will rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty almost by himself.

However, rumors are rumors, Da Ming and Dongying are far away, and under the barrier of the vast ocean, Ouchi Yoshixing heard those rumors as just a joke, and never thought that one day, he would have anything to do with such a legendary figure as Chu Yi.

With a slight shake of his body, Ouchi Yoshixing stabilized his mind and said to Chu Yi: "Ouchi Yoshixing has seen His Royal Highness King Wu, is there any misunderstanding between the two of us, I Iwami has no conflict with Daming......"

Chu Yi looked at Ouchi Yixing with a calm expression and said: "The Ouchi clan is raising Japanese pirates and harassing my coastal land in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ouchi Yoshixing's expression suddenly became extremely pale, and he sighed in his heart, secretly guessing, could it be said that the matter of him sending Nakajo Heli and others to incarnate as Japanese cowards was exposed?

But soon Ouchi Yoshixing secretly shook his head, Nakajo Heli was his retainer, and he was loyal to the Ouchi clan, and he would never blow up his identity.

I only heard the aggrieved look on Ouchi Yoshixing's face and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu, wronged, really wronged, my Ouchi clan has always served the Ming Dynasty as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, how dare I invade the coastal land of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

A general stared at Ouchi Yoshixing and sneered: "Ouchi Yoshixing, do you still dare to quibble?" ”

"Wronged, great wrong, this is a frame-up, what is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime......"

Chu Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, took a step forward, his face was straight, and he said with a little coldness: "This king doesn't care if your Ouchi clan has anything to do with the Japanese Kou, now this king says that you have collusion with the Japanese Kou, then there is collusion, don't you accept it?" ”

"Uh......"

Ouchi Yoshixing looked at the domineering Chu Yi, obviously he didn't expect Chu Yi to talk to him about anything, and he didn't say so much to him, it was directly a domineering announcement that his Ouchi clan was colluding with the Japanese Kou.

Looking at Ouchi Yoshixing's stunned look, Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Yu Dayou, this king will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and within one day, you may take Iwami Castle?" ”

Yu Dayou was slightly stunned, his face showed a little excitement, and he bowed down to the ground and said: "The last general dares to make a military order, before dark, he will go down to the stone to see the city!" ”

The real decentness of Iwami Province is this castle, which can be said to be the core of Iwami Province, once Iwami Castle is taken, it means that the entire Iwami Kingdom is destroyed.

Everyone watched Yu Dayou stride away with envy, the first battle of landing in Dongying would fall into the hands of Yu Dayou, and many generals were so envious of Yu Dayou.

Chu Yi swept over the crowd, looked at everyone's expressions and reactions, and said with a slight smile: "Everyone, the Ishimi country is just a beginning, there are dozens of large and small countries in Dongying, and there will always be a chance for everyone to attack the city and destroy the country one day." ”

At this time, Ouchi Yixing reacted, looked at Chu Yi in horror, and couldn't help screaming: "It's just delusional, I have dozens of countries in Dongying, and I will never give in to the sword soldiers of Er, who was as strong as Meng Yuan in the past, and was defeated by my Dongying, and it is impossible to conquer my Dongying......"

Chu Yi didn't take Ouchi Yixing's roar to heart at all, waved his hand and said: "Hold him up, wait for this king to capture the lords of the Dongying countries, and sacrifice them to Your Majesty, sacrifice them to the Taimiao, and sue the emperors of the past dynasties!" ”

The roaring Ouchi Yoshixing was gagged and dragged out, Chu Yi put his hands behind his back, but his eyes were cast on the continuous mountains and rivers in the distance, and the essence in Chu Yi's eyes could be faintly seen.

"Iwami Ginzan!"

When the generals heard Chu Yi whispering softly, their eyes lit up one by one, especially Lu Dazhu, as the deputy marshal, Lu Dazhu naturally knew many secrets that others did not know, including information about Iwami Silver Mountain.

When Lu Dazhu saw the information about Iwami Silver Mountain before, he almost instinctively couldn't believe that there was such a silver mountain in this world.

The silver that the great Ming Dynasty can smelt every year is only hundreds of thousands of taels, but in a mere place in the east, it can get as much as six or seven million taels of silver every year, and a stone silver mountain can smelt millions of taels of silver every year.

The annual tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty is only about four million taels, which is not even comparable to the silver smelted by Dongying every year.

Since then, Lu Dazhu has remembered the Ishimi Silver Mountain, I am afraid that he will never forget it for the rest of his life, and when he heard Chu Yi mention the Ishimi Silver Mountain, Lu Dazhu couldn't help but widen his eyes, looked at Chu Yi with a little shortness of breath and said: "Boss, this mountain will not be that silver mountain!" ”

Many generals looked at Lu Dazhu with surprise, but Lu Dazhu's reaction was too great, he was not reserved at all, and he did not have the image of the deputy commander of the army.

If it weren't for the fact that this stone saw the silver mountain was too simple, I'm afraid Lu Dazhu wouldn't be so excited and out of shape.

Everyone looked at Chu Yi in unison, Chu Yi glanced at everyone, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, pointed to the big mountain in the distance and chuckled, "What do you think of this mountain?" ”

I looked at the big mountain in the distance, the mountain is not precipitous, the scenery is not beautiful, compared with the famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, this mountain is just an ordinary mountain and river, there is nothing extraordinary at all.

A general said quickly: "Chief, this is just an ordinary mountain, how can it be compared to the great rivers and mountains of my Central Plains!" ”

Chu Yi sighed lightly: "Yes, this mountain does not have beautiful scenery, but this mountain is a silver mountain, which can smelt millions of taels of silver every year......

"Hiss......"

"It can't ......"

"How could it be ......"

In this era, except for a very small number of people, not many people in Toei knew how much silver Iwami Ginzan produced each year.

If it weren't for the fact that this Iwami Silver Mountain was too famous, I'm afraid Chu Yi wouldn't be able to remember the record about Iwami Silver Mountain.

In its heyday, the silver produced by Iwami Ginzan accounted for more than one-third of the world's circulating silver, the first in Asia, and it can even be said that before the silver in the Americas was not mined on a large scale, Toei was once the world's largest silver producer and exporter, especially Iwami Ginzan.

At the beginning, Chu Yi had told Zhu Hou about the abundance of gold and silver deposits in Dongying, so he focused on Iwami Silver Mountain, and the reason why he chose Iwami Country as the landing place this time was not to come to this silver mountain with amazing reserves.

Chu Yi didn't feel strange at all about the reaction of the generals, don't say it's them, I'm afraid anyone who knows the horror of the amount of silver produced by Iwami Silver Mountain will feel shocked.

Coming back to their senses a little, the generals stared at Chu Yi with bright eyes one by one, only to hear one person say angrily: "This kind of silver mountain, only my Ming can have it, anyone who stands in the way is my Ming Dynasty's mortal enemy, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!" ”
