Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, Qi Jingtong was ordered to lead the army to Iwami Silver Mountain, as for whether Qi Jingtong could capture Iwami Silver Mountain, no one else thought about other possibilities.

If Qi Jingtong can't even attack Shijian Yinshan, then he won't have to see everyone, so he just finds a place to wipe his neck and apologize.

Chu Yi said lightly: "Biography! ”

I saw Qi Jingtong striding into the living room with a bad spirit, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he saluted respectfully to Chu Yi and said: "The last general Qi Jingtong, meet His Royal Highness King Wu, fortunately not disgraced his life, Ishimi Yinshan has been captured, and I am here to restore my life!" ”

Chu Yi smiled and said, "General Qi has worked hard, and he will sit down and talk!" ”

Qi Jingtong took a seat, and everyone's eyes fell on Qi Jingtong's body, and they heard a general walking towards Qi Jingtong: "General Qi, I don't know what the situation is in Ishimi Yinshan?" ”

Qi Jingtong took a deep breath and told him about the situation of Iwami Silver Mountain one by one, and finally looked at Chu Yi and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the last general has found the mineral information about Iwami Silver Mountain that the Ouchi clan has explored, and I have come to present it to the Grand Administrator!" ”

While speaking, Qi Jingtong took out a stack of materials from his arms.

Chu Yi looked at the information presented, because Chu Yi knew something about the silver ore reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain, so even when he saw the records on the data, his expression was very calm.

In fact, the exploration data from the Ouchi clan still greatly underestimates the true reserves of Iwami Ginzan.

This is the Iwami Silver Mountain, which has the title of Silver Mountain, and the reserves are not comparable to those data explored by the Ouchi clan.

It can be said that with the current exploration ability of the Ouchi clan, even one-tenth of the reserves of the Iwami silver mine may not be able to be explored, even so, the reserve data of the silver ore explored by the Ouchi clan alone shocked Qi Jingtong.

Qi Jingtong's eyes flashed with excitement, and he couldn't help but say: "Grand Manager, the gold and silver reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain are too rich, and the reserve data explored by the Ouchi clan shows that this Iwami Silver Mountain can smelt at least tens of millions of taels of gold and silver......"

The other generals couldn't help but take a sharp breath when they heard Qi Jingtong's words, and their faces were both excited and shocked.

That's tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, which is almost worth more than ten years of taxes in the Ming Dynasty if it were usual.

Of course, even now, because of Chu Yi's wanton raiding of his family and extermination, the treasury of the imperial court and even the Son of Heaven has become extremely full, and it is difficult to ignore the terrifying gold and silver reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain.

Everyone looked at Chu Yi in unison, such a gold and silver maniac with rich reserves must be occupied in his hands no matter what.

Gently tapping on the table, Chu Yi glanced at the generals and smiled slightly: "Iwami Silver Mountain reserves are amazing, this governor will naturally not allow this mineral deposit to fall into the hands of other countries, but after all, the mineral deposit is not gold and silver, only when it is mined, can it really be obtained." ”

Lu Dazhu sat aside, and said angrily: "Isn't it mining, as long as there are mineral deposits, then send people to mine, and if the number of people is not enough, take people to pile up, and if you don't believe it, you can't raise the speed of mining." ”

Qi Jingtong mentioned that the craftsmen and slaves that Yishi Yinshan now owned were able to smelt nearly 100,000 taels of silver every month.

This figure is already very staggering, but compared to the astonishing reserves of the Iwami Silver Mine, such a mining speed, I am afraid that even hundreds of years may not be able to mine this Iwami Silver Mine.

Qi Jingtong's eyes lit up, and he said to Chu Yi with some expectation: "The last general begs the chief manager to grant the last general's request!" ”

Chu Yi glanced at Qi Jingtong and bowed slightly: "General Qi might as well say it bluntly!" ”

I heard Qi Jing's passage: "Before the last general entered the city, I heard that there were Dongying alien races in the city who were privately hostile to my great soldiers, so the last general suggested that His Royal Highness could allow us to take all these Dongying alien races hostile to us into Iwami Silver Mountain, and order them to mine the mines......"

Fang was still discussing how to deal with these Dongying aliens who were hostile to them, and according to Lu Dazhu's proposal, among the Dongying men, all those who were taller than the wheels would be killed.

At this time, Qi Jingtong suggested that these Dongying aliens be taken into Iwajian Silver Mountain, and then ordered these people to mine mines.

You must know that in this era, there were not many safety measures for mining mines, and it can be said that a large number of slaves and craftsmen lost their lives every time there was a rock collapse.

Therefore, in this era, some pawns and slaves are often taken into the mines, and this method of disposal is even more cruel than directly beheading them.

You must know that once you enter the mine, then it is the beginning of the dark day, whether you live or die depends on your luck, if you are lucky enough, then you will live on the mine for a few more years, if you are not lucky enough, you may die of exhaustion in the mine the next day.

As for wanting to leave the mine alive, there is almost no such possibility, you must know that even if the mine changes hands, the new owner of the mine will never let the slaves and craftsmen on the mountain leave, but may use the slaves and craftsmen above the mine to death like the previous mine owner.

The generals' eyes lit up when they heard this, and many of them showed their intentions, just as Qi Jingtong said, although they wanted to kill all the men in Iwami City, but now everyone thinks that it is better to keep these Dongying aliens than to kill them directly.

Knocking on the table, Chu Yi groaned, glanced at the crowd, and said with a slight bow: "In this case, the whole city will be sold, and the men in the city will be locked up, and they will all be escorted to Ishimi Silver Mountain." ””

Saying that, Chu Yi said again: "There are tens of thousands of people in the city, and the speed of smelting gold and silver in Ishimi Silver Mountain will definitely be much faster at that time, so there should be no problem in refining 500,000 taels of silver every month!" ”

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, obviously they didn't expect Chu Yi to suddenly increase the amount of silver produced by Iwami Silver Mountain by nearly five times.

Although it is said that those ill-intentioned alien races in Iwami City will inevitably increase the manpower of Iwami Silver Mountain once they are escorted to Iwami Silver Mountain, it is good to be able to double it on the previous basis, but Chu Yi suddenly ordered to increase the output of Iwami Silver Mountain by as much as five times. This is simply a disregard for the lives and deaths of those slaves in the mountains.

After all, under normal circumstances, manpower will skyrocket, and output will skyrocket with it, but it will not rise so exaggeratedly, but now if you want to complete Chu Yi's requirements, you must go crazy to mine mines and smelt gold and silver, which is the rhythm of exhausting people to death.

500,000 taels of silver a month, if within a year, those Dongying aliens who were reduced to slavery did not all die of exhaustion, it means that in a year, relying on Iwami Silver Mountain alone can produce a full five or six million gold and silver.

If it can really achieve what Chu Yi requires, then this means that a mountain of stone silver is equivalent to more than a year's tax revenue of the former Ming court.

Qi Jingtong subconsciously said: "Your Highness, with such a high request, I am afraid that there will be a large number of slaves killed and injured at that time, in case something happens at that time......

Chu Yi chuckled and said: "If someone dares to make any trouble, then they will slaughter all the slaves, this huge Dongying is not only one Iwami country, but more slaves who can't be caught!" ”

"Hahaha, what His Royal Highness King Wu said is very true, isn't it just a foreign race in Dongying, if you die, you will die, it's a big deal, I'll go and destroy a few more kingdoms, and arrest everyone."

As the lord of the three armies, Chu Yi's order may be more effective than the order of Zhu Houzhao, the Son of Heaven, and as Chu Yi made a decision, it was executed almost immediately.

The originally peaceful Iwami Castle suddenly poured in a large number of Ming soldiers, and these Ming soldiers directly smashed open the doors of a family like wolves and tigers, and then rushed into the homes of these Dongying people, and all men, women, and children were arrested.

A young woman was selected, and the rest, men, women, and children, all of them were branded as slaves and escorted to Iwami Ginzan in batches.

Iwami Silver Mountain has stationed a full 5,000 elite people, although in less than half a month, this Iwami Silver Mountain has gathered almost 100,000 huge Dongying alien races.

Among these alien races, there are about 30,000 strong men, and the rest are some old and weak women and children, who are like ants working hard to dig veins and smelt ore between the great mines of Iwami Silver Mountain, day after day, year after year, without the slightest hope of leaving.

In just half a month, under the mining operation of high-strength crossbows, a large number of old and weak women and children died of exhaustion, and the original almost 100,000 slaves were stunned under this wave of elimination, and less than one-third remained.

At the same time, the results of half a month have also been counted, relying on the tactics of the sea of people, the task of producing 500,000 taels of silver per month has been completed for most of the time, looking at this speed, I am afraid that when the period of a month comes, the Iwami Yinshan that Qi Jingtong is in charge of can at least complete Chu Yi's task.

The 100,000 Dongying alien races are not something that a small Iwami Castle can accommodate, and a considerable part of them can only be collected by many generals who led their men and horses to sweep many villages in Iwami's country.

Such a big thing happened in Iwami Country, coupled with the fact that Daming wantonly arrested the Dongying aliens in Iwami Province, many Dongying aliens were so frightened that they fled from Iwami Province.

It was also from the mouths of these Toei aliens who escaped from Iwami Province that they learned about the changes in Iwami Province.

However, in the mouths of those people who escaped, the generals and soldiers who were responsible for capturing the people of Dongying almost became synonymous with demons, and bluntly said that a group of terrible demons captured Iwami Province and occupied Iwami Silver Mountain, and a large number of people were captured by demons and became the delicacy of those demons.

Because the captured Dongying aliens were all sent to Iwami Silver Mountain, Iwami Silver Mountain can only enter but not exit for these Dongying aliens, it is conceivable that once they are captured, there will be no news, and naturally there will be a lot of rumors.

Some say that the captured people were killed directly, and some say that they were eaten alive, anyway, all kinds of bizarre and even absurd rumors stunned those who got the news, Izumo Province, Aki Province and many other surrounding countries are confused, and they can't figure out who the sacred occupies Iwami Province.

Of course, whether it is Izumo Province or Aki Province, the rulers of these countries do not believe the words of the people of Iwami Province who escaped at all.

It's not that I don't believe it at all, but I don't believe the rumors that a group of demons have occupied Iwami Province.

Izumo Province, which is adjacent to Iwami Province, is under the rule of the Niko clan, as the head of the Niko clan, although Niko is fifty years old, he is old and strong, especially in his life, and he is used to seeing all kinds of conspiracies, so after getting the news, Niko subconsciously thinks that the mysterious forces that have entered Iwami Province and occupied Iwami Silver Mountain are very likely to be pretended to be other countries, and the biggest object of suspicion is the Aki country Mori clan.

The Mori clan and their Niko clan have been peeking at Iwami Ginzan for a long time, and the power that can deal a heavy blow to the Ouchi clan, Niko has thought about it for a long time, and it seems that the only one is the Mori clan from Aki Province.

Almost immediately, Niko ordered the gathering of domestic soldiers and horses after a long time, and personally led thousands of soldiers and horses straight to Iwami Silver Mountain.

Niko thought that it was the Mori clan that occupied Iwami Province for a long time, but he didn't know that at the same time as the Niko clan sent troops, the Mori clan also made a choice like Niko for a long time, gathered people and horses, and killed Iwami Silver Mountain as soon as possible.

Obviously, whether it is the Niko clan or the Maori clan, the target is Iwami Ginzan, and the idea is clear, it is to rush to Iwami Ginzan.

If a mountain of silver is in hand, it is very clear how helpful it is to their respective families, whether it is Nizi Jingjiu or Maori Xingyuan.

Both sides thought that it was the other party who occupied Iwami Ginzan, so both sent troops as soon as possible, and they came all the way.

Iwami Castle

After more than half a month, the generals who have completely stabilized the situation in Iwami are attending the celebration banquet set up by Chu Yi in the mansion of the Ouchi clan.

This time, tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty attacked everywhere on the land of Iwami Kingdom, destroyed hundreds of villages, and captured nearly 100,000 people of Dongying, not only replenishing the slave gap in Iwami Silver Mountain, but also looting a batch of millions of gold and silver wealth in the process of arrest.

The generals below were all drinking happily, and Chu Yi was sitting there, with a faint look of joy between his eyebrows, but not long ago, the sea of knowledge shook, and the originally silent altar of luck suddenly shook, and the luck skyrocketed by as much as 60,000.

This sudden surge of 60,000 luck suddenly pushed down more than 600,000 of Chu Yi's total luck, and the most important point was that Chu Yi was almost certain that this sudden surge of luck came from the destroyed Iwami Kingdom.

With the Ouchi clan, who had ruled Iwami Province for a long time, being beheaded by Chu Yi's order, and a large number of people in Iwami Province were either captured and sent to Iwami Silver Mountain to mine or fled from Iwami Province, Iwami Province, a powerful country, has since disappeared, leaving a false name, and the country does not exist.
