Long Tao stayed in Kasuga Mountain Castle for half a month before leaving for the south and heading to the territory of the Takeda family. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

Naturally, the "couple" were reluctant, and the Uesugi family's plan to attack Echichu was canceled, and the army dispersed back to various places.

This conquest of Uesugi Kenshin was a big surprise for Long Tao, he not only lost a big enemy, but also had a strong arm, from then on he could rest assured that the east road would be handed over to Kenshin, and he would lead a large army to encroach on the small countries in the west, and the speed of completing the hegemony would be greatly accelerated.

Shinano, Toishi Castle.

This castle belongs to the Takeda family at the moment, and the lord of the city, Sanada Yutaka, is one of the "three bullets of the Warring States", and it is rumored that his wisdom is better than that of Takeda Shingen, and as Shingen's staff officer, Toishi Castle was captured by him with strategy.

In a small room in the City Lord's Mansion, Long Tao was sitting opposite a young man, who had infiltrated with the "Konoha Hidden Technique" without alarming anyone.

The boy was only slightly surprised when he suddenly appeared, and quickly regained his composure.

Sanada Masayuki, 16 years old, is a general of the ashigaru.

Belongs, Takeda family.

Boss, Yutaka Sanada.

Command, 9 (+).

Force, 75.

Government Affairs, 88.

Gambit, 99 (+).

Glamour, 88.

……

It is worthy of being a character who will leave a strong mark on the Warring States stage in the future, and he has such an outstanding ability at such a young age, Long Tao looked at Changxing's name brand and sighed secretly.

After the Takeda family was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga, Sanada Masayuki, as the governor of the Sanada family, led the clan to become independent and appeared on the Sengoku stage as a daimyo of one side.

Because Masayuki is very good at maneuvering between various forces, Toyotomi Hideyoshi once praised him as a person who "compares the outside with the inside", which has the meaning of a wall grass, but it is a compliment.

Sanada Masayuki is similar to Hosokawa Fujitaka, both are good at self-preservation of the family, and unlike Fujitaka, Masayuki is more strategic and courageous, spelling a way out of the cracks, rather than blindly clinging to the strong.

In the Battle of Sekigahara in the Great War between the East and West of Japan, Masayuki's eldest son Sanada Nobuyuki belonged to the Eastern Army, and he himself joined the Western Army with his second son Nobuyoshi, and finally although the Western Army was defeated, the Sanada family was saved because of Nobuyuki, and Masayuki and Nobuyoshi also saved their lives because of Nobuyuki interceding with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The second son, Nobu Shigeru, was the one who shocked Japan in the future, led the Red Reserve to attack the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp in the Osaka Battle, forcing Ieyasu to almost commit suicide by seppuku, and was evaluated by Ieyasu as "Sanada Japan's first soldier" Sanada Yukimura.

The young man Masayuki has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a pair of eyes full of wisdom with a depth far beyond his age, after seeing Long Tao's famous brand, he still asked calmly: "What does Ashikaga-sama want?" ”

"Changxing, come with me!" Long Tao smiled slightly, "Come with me to pacify Japan, and I will give you unprecedented glory for the Sanada family!" ”

……

After returning to Kaga with Sanada Masayuki, Long Tao began his journey westward.

Because Sanada Masayuki also has a "wind forest volcano" in his body, his military talent is very good, Long Tao asked him to lead 8,000 troops, and he led 10,000 troops to the west along the coast of Japan.

The first to enter was the Tango Wakasa Province adjacent to Echizen, and the guardian daimyo Isshiki Yoshimichi, the strength of the Isshiki family was weak, and when the Ryutao army approached the city, it surrendered without a fight, and the Wakasa country was easily taken.

Then there is the Tajima Province to the west of Wakasa Province, which is the domain of the Yamana family, and the Yamana clan is also considered an ancient famous family, although its strength has declined significantly, but it is not willing to surrender without a fight like the Isshiki family, but has put up a stubborn resistance to the Ryutao army.

The Yamana family owns the two countries of Tajima and Hakugi, and the main castles are Izuishi Castle in Tajima Province and Tottori Castle in Hakuki Province, of which Tottori Castle is the main castle of Yamana.

Long Tao lasted more than two months, captured the two cities, completely pacified the two countries, and destroyed the mountain name family, of course, this time he mainly let Chang Xing practice the ability to lead the army, and did not use the previous lightning tactics, otherwise, a small mountain name family would not be able to stop him for so long.

Then, Long Tao began his long journey to conquer the Nizi family.

The most powerful period of the Niko family, when the Niko family was the head of the family for a long time, was a famous general of the Warring States period, and was deposed by the shogunate in the early days due to excessive expansion of the territory, and then recaptured the territory of the Izumo country from scratch, and then developed rapidly, the Niko family in its heyday had the eleven kingdoms of Sanyin and Sanyang, and the Niko was known as the "Warring States Yin and Yang One Taishou".

At this time, the Nizi family had been dead for more than 20 years, and the Nizi family was also declining, constantly encroached upon by the newly rising Maori family, even so, the territory of the Nizi family was still vast, and there were still five main cities scattered in the territory, and it was impossible to swallow the Nizi family overnight.

Of course, the reason why Long Tao's journey was slow was because in addition to attacking the Nizi family who were desperately defending, he also had to expel the Maori family who came to take advantage of the fire to rob.

After more than a year of conquest, Long Tao finally took over all the territory of the Nizi family, and the Nizi family perished, during which he also fought more than a dozen battles with the Maori family.

When he arrived here, he approached his destination, Iwami Silver Mountain, which was located at the junction of the forces of the Niko family and the Maori family, and had been contested by the two families, and Long Tao's next goal was to attack the Maori family and completely take this mountain.

However, Long Tao was ready to take a break for a while, firstly, the army was tired from the expedition, and secondly, after nearly two years, his new cherry blossom palace was about to be built, and he was ready to go back to hold the inauguration ceremony of the new palace.

Long Tao's name Sanada Masayuki led his army to garrison the territory of the Niko family, regrouped for battle, and returned to Kaga alone.

In fact, the new palace has been built, and the workers are putting the finishing touches on the decoration work to prepare for the inauguration ceremony half a month later.

After Long Tao came back, he naturally relaxed in the hot spring with the women for a few days to relieve the fatigue of the repeated battles.

Five days later, the two sisters, Lilu and Goya, also arrived, bringing with them a large number of firearms, which Long Tao had already ordered with them.

As soon as Geya saw Long Tao, she complained: "We heard that Lord Yi was fighting in Izumo Country, so we deliberately went to the open sea to prepare to stop by to see you, but when we got there, you had already left, causing us to run for nothing!" ”

Lilu smiled, "I haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and Goya is going crazy every day thinking about you!" ”

Long Tao took the child into his arms, kissed it, and said with a smile: "Then Lilu doesn't want me?" ”

"Of course I miss you!" Lilu Gege smiled, "However, this time we didn't run for nothing, I stopped by to see the Iwami Silver Mountain you mentioned to me." ”

"How does it feel?"

Lilu broke free from his arms and looked at him squarely, Long Tao knew that when she looked like this, she was ready to discuss business with him seriously as the president of the Jacobt Chamber of Commerce.

"Lord Yishi, that's a good mountain indeed! We can provide you with the best craftsmen, bring the most advanced mining and smelting technology in the world today, and help you develop that silver mountain, as long as you give us half of the income! ”

Long Tao groaned slightly, shook his head and said: "No, half of it is too much, I will give you at most one percent!" ”

Iwami Ginzan was the largest silver mine in Japan, with abundant silver reserves, and later estimates suggest that the mine produced one-third of the world's silver during the Edo period from Sengoku to Tokugawa!

Such a treasure mine, Long Tao naturally will not give too much to the Jacobt Chamber of Commerce, in his opinion, one percent is enough, and this still depends on the love of the two sisters.

Lilu frowned slightly, and then said, "It seems that Lord Yi also knows a lot about this silver mountain!" Well, I'll add some more conditions, and you can increase it to two percent for us! ”

"On what terms?"

"We will bring you all kinds of the most advanced technology in the West, and at the same time, I will also prepare a group of stunning beauties for you, these are the beautiful virgins of various countries that our Chamber of Commerce has collected from the Netherlands to this place along the way!"

"That's something to think about." Long Tao smiled.
