Chapter 463: The One Who Is Taller Than the Wheels
Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "In that case, you might as well go and take a look at what treasures are hidden in this treasure house of the Ouchi clan!" β
The existence of the Ouchi clan's treasury may be a secret to outsiders, but it is nothing to some of the Ouchi clan.
The last thing that is lacking in this world is the existence of greed for life and fear of death, and many of those people in the Ouchi clan are people who are willing to do anything in order to survive.
Therefore, it is natural that the location of the Ouchi clan's treasure house is willing to be offered.
Ouchi's Treasury is a secret room repaired underground, but the entire underground secret room occupies a considerable amount of space, but the entrance is between a rockery.
Chu Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he saw the treasure trove with the entrance hidden between the rockeries, for these big families, there was almost nothing new about the treasure place, eight out of ten hid it underground, and the entrance was either between the rockeries or in the study.
I saw a member of the Ouchi clan looking at Chu Yi, Yu Dayou and the others with a flattering face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the treasure house of our Ouchi clan is hidden here. β
As he spoke, he stepped forward to push a stone that looked inconspicuous, and then he heard a dull sound, and saw a black hole gradually revealed between the rockeries.
Seeing the entrance of the cave, several generals entered it first, and Chu Yi and the others slowly approached.
After passing through the corridor of almost a few zhang, the underground space suddenly became much more spacious, and at a glance, this underground secret room was almost hundreds of square meters in size, but it was not too big, nor too small.
In this small and small secret room, there are large and small chests and some ordnance, silk silk, tea, porcelain and the like.
For those so-called ordnance, silk silk, tea, porcelain, everyone naturally does not pay attention to it, these things are all produced by the Ming Dynasty, maybe placed in the land of Dongying, these things are comparable to gold and silver hard currency, but in the eyes of Chu Yi and others, they are just some ordinary top grades.
What really caught Chu Yi and the others attention was the neatly placed boxes one by one, there were almost hundreds of these boxes, some large and some small, and they were sealed neatly one by one.
Since it is a treasure house, gold and silver are naturally indispensable, and now it goes without saying that nine times out of ten gold and silver are in these chests.
Several generals stepped forward and opened these boxes one by one, and the moment the first box was opened, many people's eyes couldn't help but light up, and it was a box of gold that had been cast into the shape of ingots.
The golden ingots are neatly arranged and exude an alluring brilliance.
One by one, the boxes were opened, and it could be seen that most of these boxes were ingots made of silver, a very few were gold ingots, and as for other jewels and jade, there was only one box.
But even so, everyone still felt a silence when they looked at the gold, silver and jewelry in the hundreds of large and small boxes.
You must know that this is just a place the size of a palm in Daming County, and there are so many gold and silver things, even if you are a fool, just looking at those gold and silver things, you can probably estimate that it is not less than millions of taels.
This is placed in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it is really impossible to find any county government treasury that can store millions of taels of gold and silver.
Chu Yi's gaze swept over these gold and silver jewels, there was no surprise on his face, guarding such a mountain of stone and silver, it was reasonable that there were so many gold and silver things stored in the treasure house of the Ouchi clan, and it could even be said that if there was not so much gold and silver, it would be abnormal.
glanced at everyone lightly, and finally Chu Yi said to Yu Dayou: "Yu Dayou, order someone to count the gold and silver property here clearly and register it." β
Yu Dayou hurriedly responded.
However, it was said that Qi Jingtong led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Iwami Silver Mountain, and Takahiro Ouchi, who was stationed at Iwami Silver Mountain, was ready to face the Ming soldiers and horses with a strong military formation.
Although the terrain of Iwami Silver Mountain is not dangerous, after all, he is in the mountains, and once he enters the mountains, the originally neat military formation will naturally scatter.
Takahiro Ouchi is not a mediocre talent within the Ouchi clan, and he only needs to look at the formation of the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty to know that a vicious battle is inevitable.
Unless it is the soldiers and horses of the Ouchi clan who are willing to withdraw from Iwami Ginzan, but Iwami Ginzan is the foundation of the Ouchi clan, if you lose Iwami Ginzan, even if the Ming Dynasty does not look for their trouble, Iwami Country is afraid that it is not far from extinction.
Seeing the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty enter the Iwami Silver Mountain, Takahiro Ouchi made a decisive decision after some struggle and measurement in his heart.
Not long after Qi Jingtong led the army into the mountains, suddenly there was a shout of killing in front of him, but the soldiers did not have much panic, but raised their vigilance one by one.
Qi Jingtong looked at the Dongying soldiers who rushed out from all around, and his face showed a little relaxed.
If these Dongying soldiers relied on the mountain to defend, as the side attacking the mountain, they naturally did not have any advantage, and they might be able to capture Iwami Silver Mountain by virtue of the advantage of numbers, but the casualties would not be too few.
Qi Jingtong may not be a famous general, but he is not a mediocre person, he knows very well that his ability is not conspicuous among the generals, and this time he was able to lead the army to capture Iwajian Silver Mountain, it was entirely because Chu Yi valued him.
Although Qi Jingtong didn't know why Chu Yi, a high-ranking nobleman, would look at him differently, Chu Yi's attention to him was also a kind of pressure and motivation for Qi Jingtong, and he also held his breath in his heart, hoping that his performance could be worthy of Chu Yi's attention.
Now seeing that there were Dongying soldiers all around, Qi Jingtong's face showed a little relaxed, and shouted: "Soldiers, kill the enemy with this general!" β
As a Ming soldier, when facing these Dongying soldiers, he naturally has a bit of natural contempt psychologically. Coupled with the comparison of armaments and equipment between the two sides, the more foiling Dongying soldiers are like farmers.
The Ming side can be said to have a neat military appearance and complete armaments, on the other hand, on the Dongying side, even the clothes are not unified, and the weapons in their hands are even more varied, and there are all kinds of weapons.
Sticks, hammers, and even forks are all sorted, and at first glance it looks like a group of bandits have been killed out of the mountains.
It's just that as soon as the battle came, the strength and weakness between the two sides were separated, and the arrows shot by the Dongying side were sparse, although it was said that it caused some damage to the Ming soldiers, but when the counterattack of the Ming Dynasty came, the Dongying soldiers who were originally excited about shooting more than a dozen Ming soldiers really felt the military power from the Heavenly Empire.
The arrows poured down like a torrential rain, but in the blink of an eye, a few rounds of arrow rain down, at least thousands of arrows were fired.
It can be said that most of the hundreds of Dongying soldiers who rushed forward were shot at once.
The Dongying soldiers, who were originally howling and rushing from all around, seemed to have been choked by the neck all of a sudden, and the sound of the horn stopped abruptly, and many Dongying soldiers couldn't help but show horror on their faces when they saw their companions who were almost shot like hedgehogs.
No matter in any army, the people who charge ahead are always the most daring people in the army, and if these people can often account for one or two percent of the total number, then such an army can be called a strong army.
In the same way, if these most brave and daring soldiers suffered heavy losses, then this army was not far from collapse.
This point is not only applicable to the Ming army, but also to Dongying, the hundreds of Dongying soldiers who were shot under the rain of arrows just now can be said to be the bravest soldiers in the Iwami Silver Mountain defenders, charging ahead, daring to fight and kill, but they were shot before they rushed close, and even the remaining dozens of people were all pale one by one.
"Kill!"
Qi Jingtong shook the gun in his hand, and immediately picked up the two Dongying soldiers in front of him, and the soldiers who were with Qi Jingtong also pounced on the Dongying soldiers who showed a panicked look.
On one side, the army is neat and has an absolute advantage in numbers, while on the other side the morale is low and the equipment is even worse by several levels, so the result can be imagined.
After the most brave part of the army was killed one by one, the entire defenders of Iwami Ginzan began to appear as if the main backbone had been broken, and the soldiers began to drop their weapons and turn around and flee.
The appearance of deserters was a sign of defeat, one or two, as more and more soldiers lost their weapons because of fear in their hearts, and finally almost all the soldiers on the whole battlefield turned and fled.
The rout finally appeared.
For an army, the most terrible thing is the rout, once the rout appears, even Sun Wu is afraid that it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
Seeing this situation, Qi Jingtong was overjoyed, and with one shot, he picked off a Dongying soldier in front of him, and at the same time let out a long howl, and chased after those soldiers who fled.
All the soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty have been on the battlefield and have fought with the enemy, so they are naturally not newcomers on the battlefield.
In about an hour or so, more than 2,000 Shi saw that the defenders of Yinshan were completely annihilated, and in addition to almost a few hundred people who fled by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain, the other soldiers were either killed or captured alive on the spot.
As the steward of Iwami Ginzan, it can be said that Takahiro Ouchi was targeted by the Ming army early, and no one can run away from Takahiro Ouchi.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed the tens of thousands of craftsmen and slaves on Iwami Silver Mountain, but it was a pity that before these people could react to what was going on, the winner had already been decided.
These craftsmen and slaves did not panic even in the face of this chaos, as if they had become accustomed to such situations.
It's normal to think about it.,The Ouchi clan occupies the Iwami Silver Mountain.,Surrounded by several countries such as Izumo ProvinceγAki Country and other countries are eyeing it.,In order to compete for the Iwami Silver Mountain.,I don't know how many fights broke out.,Even more than once killed to the Iwami Silver Mountain.γ
Therefore, these slaves and craftsmen on the mountain have long been accustomed to this situation, so their reaction to the sudden war is very flat.
It is precisely because of this that Qi Jingtong took over the entire Iwami Silver Mountain very easily.
For these craftsmen and slaves, it didn't make a difference who occupied Iwami Ginzan, they all had to work in the mountains, and as long as they could have a bite to eat, they didn't care who they worked for.
After dealing with those captives, Qi Jingtong looked at the pile of information about Iwami Silver Mountain in front of him, and his face showed a look of horror.
Even though he had known for a long time that Iwami Ginzan was a silver mountain, he was shocked when he saw the exploration information listed by the craftsmen about the silver reserves of Iwami Ginzan.
Daming has always lacked silver, and there are very few rich silver mines, but the richness of this Shijian Silver Mountain Silver Mine is simply beyond Qi Jingtong's imagination.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qi Jingtong took a deep breath and instructed his generals to sit in Iwami Silver Mountain and manage the craftsmen, and at the same time, Qi Jingtong took those materials and went down the mountain.
Iwami Castle
The atmosphere in Iwami Castle, which has changed hands, seems to be very solemn, and when the people of Dongying in the city learned that the Ouchi clan had been destroyed by the heavenly soldiers from the Heavenly Empire, the turmoil did not appear, but the people of Dongying in the city seemed extremely calm, and there was even a little weirdness in the calm.
Just when the people of Dongying in this city fell into a strange calm, Qi Jingtong entered Iwami Castle with the exploration data of Iwami Silver Mountain.
In the manor of the Ouchi clan, all the generals gathered together, and in the hall, I saw all the generals with angry faces on their faces.
I only heard one of the generals have a murderous intent in his eyes: "Grand Governor, as the so-called non-our race must have different hearts, these people in the city actually use silence to confront us, it really deserves to be killed." β
"Although we have brought a lot of grain, if we don't have enough fresh vegetables, fruits and other things, after a long time, the body of the soldiers is afraid that they will not be able to carry it, but these Dongying people are hiding vegetables, fruits, etc., and their hearts can be ......punished."
Chu Yi sat there, calmly listening to the indignant words of the generals below, his eyes fell on Lu Dazhu's body and he smiled slightly: "General Lu, I don't know what to do between you?" β
Lu Dazhu was slightly stunned, and laughed: "According to my opinion, these people are all ill-intentioned, and they are potential enemies of my Ming soldiers, if you follow the law of treating the steppe Tatar aliens, those who are taller than the wheel will be killed......"
If this was above the court, Lu Dazhu was so murderous, I am afraid that he would have attracted the opposition of many civilian officials, but all the generals present were murderous generals, but it caused a group of generals to nod again and again, and Lu Dazhu handled it properly.
Chu Yi lightly tapped on the table, and at this moment, a guard outside the door said in a long voice: "General Qi Jingtong asks to see!" β
[The update is not powerful, there is no shame to ask for others, strive to return to normal updates as soon as possible, woo woo woo ......]
