"Hmm, Kono-kun, you've worked hard for the past few months, and the Tachihara family won't forget you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Tachihara Yamakawa's face showed a rare look of gratitude, and his eyes also contained excitement.

"My lord!" Kono knocked his head on the ground again, tears flashing in his eyes, and then raised his head and said in a slightly whimpering voice: "Kono will repay the trust of the lord with his life." ”

"Very good, my Liyuan family can dominate the land and cross the ocean, and it all depends on you loyal courtiers. Tachihara Yamakawa's face had returned to seriousness, and he looked out the window at the magnificent giant military ship by the dock and asked, "When will this ship be completed?"

"Back to the lord, we will be able to launch the sea trial in half a month, but I am worried that the quality of our lacquer is not as good as that of the Tanghe people, and maybe the durability of the military ship will be affected. When it comes to the military ships he designed and built himself, Kono is immediately full of confidence.

"Hmm, I know, I will immediately arrange for someone to try to go to the mainland to buy it, our Liyuan family's military ship must not be worse than others. Tatehara Yamakawa had a proud look on his face.

"Then it would be great, if everything is fine with the ship after the sea trials, my lord, then we can build it on a large scale. Kono excitedly suggested.

"Well, everything is in place, only the east wind is owed, and now we just wait for the results of the sea trials. There was also a faint hint of red tide on the slender face of the mountains and rivers of Tachihara, and the hard work of many years was about to be realized, how could this not make him feel excited, with enough strength, the rest was up to him to seize the opportunity to complete the great cause of unifying the Japanese land.

Returning to the wooden house in Isoban Castle, Tachihara Yamakawa immediately entered a state of contemplation, until the ghostly Maori Centurion sneaked in, which made him wake up from his contemplation, and when he saw his henchman in front of him, Tachihara nodded slightly, and then asked, "How are the sides, what is the movement?"

"There hasn't been any big action yet, but the Wind Demon Stream activities of the Tianqiu family have begun to become more frequent, and I am worried that they will get some rumors and want to spy on the secrets of our warship. "Maori Centurion described it as cold, kneeling straight with his back.

"What?!" Tachihara Yamakawa's eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did they learn about this?"

"The subordinates judged that it was probably because of the martial law in the outer harbor of Isoban in the past few months, and the obviously unusual security measures might arouse their suspicions, so they had to send ninjas to spy on them. His subordinates have spotted the whereabouts of the Storm Demon Stream in the vicinity of the Outer Harbor several times. The Maori centurion calmly voiced his judgment.

"Oh?" "The mountains and rivers of Tachihara can no longer remain calm at this time, the secret of the warship is the key to the rise of his family, and he must not let anyone know, "Maori-kun, this matter must not be underestimated, it must be taken seriously, you immediately arrange for people to step up precautions, you must not be negligent, if someone trespasses on the forbidden land, they will be killed, and we must ensure that this time is passed safely, as long as we enter the stage of large-scale construction, at that time, even if the Shengbi family and the Tianqiu family know, it will not matter." ”

"The subordinates understand. Maori Centur Tayton said.

"By the way, what's going on over there?" Tachihara Yamakawa turned his gaze to the west, his eyes full of frenzy.

"The Don people have strengthened their defenses in recent times, and the patrols of the fleet have also increased, and the whereabouts of their first and second fleets have been found near the Ryukyu Islands and Kamchatka, and the defense of the Great Pearl Islands has not changed much, and the second corps of the Milanese army has suffered great losses in the battle with the Maqi Khans, almost all of which have been wiped out, and it is planned to be rebuilt this year, and it is said that Louis XI will increase investment in the army, in comparison, the navy may not be able to take care of it. Recently, however, a detachment of the Third Fleet of the Don River people has been stationed on Huludao Island in the Northern Pearl Islands for a long time, and they continue to build vigorously on this island, which was leased from the Milanese, and it seems that it has expanded into a medium-sized military port. "The Maori Centurion is in charge of the intelligence system and knows everything about everything.

"Oh, the people of Tanghe have strengthened their vigilance, why?" Tachihara Yamakawa suddenly became nervous.

"The lord doesn't need to worry, I think it's because Situ Mingyue went to the Zhoushan Islands to spend the summer, the emperor's safety is naturally the most important, and the main worry is the attack of some pirates who are not long-sighted. "Maori Centurion said.

"Oh, I see, Situ Mingyue went to Putuo Mountain to escape the summer again? Hmph, this old thing really has leisure and ambition for a day, the country is surging, and he seems to be fine. Tachihara Yamakawa looked disdainful.

"Maybe he's smiling at the situation, and I'm not moving. Maori Centurion also quoted two sentences from the Tang people, the thick and concise history and culture of the Tang people is really a spring and snow for the short and crude history of the Japanese people, and they have always admired it for a long time.

"No, Maori-kun, he is being irresponsible to his subjects as an emperor, and he is giving up opportunities, and he is also giving us Japanese people opportunities. Tachihara Yamakawa retorted with a solemn face.

At the beginning of June 695 in the continental calendar, a large group of nobles led by Zhuang Liqiang, the vice minister of imperial ceremonies, and a large group of nobles from the Advisory Council arrived in Bonan and began to visit the northwest and northern Luzon of the empire.

During a visit to the ceramic base in Bonan Province, nearly 100 nobles wantonly took the valuable porcelain of the local kiln owners and openly demanded bribes, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the kiln owners, but because of the identity of the other party, the merchants could only swallow their anger.

Stimulated by Bonan's abundant harvest, the delegation quickly went north to Germany, and after learning of the wealth of the salt and wine merchants in Germany, the nobles visited their homes like blood-sucking locusts, or threatened or intimidated, and frantically demanded money and goods. Local merchants fled and went out to take refuge. The nobles did not give up, and demanded that the Guardian of the City of Guide should severely punish those merchants who evaded the "noble nobles' reception" in the name of disobedience, and that they should be rewarded with certainty.

Stimulated by the abundant money, the nobles pounced like hungry wolves like Qingyang, and at the reception dinner held by the military and political envoys of the Northwest County for the delegation, in addition to all the officials who had arrived, almost all the merchants did not arrive. This aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the nobles of the inspection group, who did not care about the local specialties and 10,000 gold coins presented by Xiao Tang, and the nobles brought their guards and visited the merchants' mansions directly, in an attempt to obtain greater benefits. However, the shrewd merchant has long since left home, leaving only a butler-like figure to deal with, much to the disappointment of the nobles.

The unsatisfied nobles turned south to Jinzhou, and the situation in Jinzhou was much the same, and in anger, the nobles attacked and cursed the people of the northwest in the most vicious language in public, called the people of the northwest Diao people, the Gaoyue people as barbarian beasts, the immigrants as mongrels, and the officials in the northwest as a bunch of simple-minded, cowardly, and stupid hillbillies, all of which were described by the Northwest Star as "The Noble People from Yanjing Have a View of the Northwest Published on the front page of June 24, the report quickly ignited the anger of the people of the Northwest who were already extremely dissatisfied with this group of shameless aristocratic schistosomes.

On June 25, thousands of angry people, organized by well-intentioned people, surrounded the post house of the Northwest County Government Axe and burned the magnificent carriages of the nobles. On June 26, large-scale popular demonstrations broke out in both Guide and Bonan, with the marchers chanting slogans "Get out of the northwest!" and "Kill the nobles!"

On June 27, the situation deteriorated further, and the large Gaoyue people in the southern part of Jinzhou demanded that justice be given to them, and that the nobles who slandered them as "barbarian beasts" be handed over, otherwise they would not give up. Immediately afterwards, the Gauga people in eastern northern Luzon also organized demonstrations to demand that the nobles must apologize in the media and recognize the equal status of the Gauga.

On June 28, the 3rd Division of the Northwest Army mutinied, and the 3rd Division, which was composed almost entirely of Gaoyue people, expelled the Tang officers of the 3rd Division, declared that it would not accept the management and leadership of the Tang River Empire, and sent troops to surround the post house in Qingyang Mansion, threatening to wash away their insults to the Gaoyue people with the heads and blood of the nobles.

At the same time, the Guide Garrison Division (formerly the Jinzhou Garrison Division), which was also mainly composed of Gaoyue people, also mutinied, and also followed the example of the Third Division of the Northwest Army, proposing that the nobles pay the price of blood to cleanse them of their insults to the Gaoyue people, and left the garrison without authorization and advanced to Qingyang territory to apply for reinforcements of the Third Division.

The nobles of the Council who had never encountered such a situation were panicked, and in their eyes they were nothing more than a group of untouchables who dared to rise up against the noble nobles, and unexpectedly demanded an apology from them, which was simply a fantasy, and they did not hesitate to refuse the unreasonable demands of these untouchables, and asked the Northwest Interior Department to take immediate measures to stop it, but the weakness shown by the Northwest Interior Department disappointed them.

However, when the news of the mutiny and rebellion of the Gaoyue soldiers of the two divisions reached their ears, they were really nervous, those barbarian soldiers were no better than ordinary people, once they broke out, it would be difficult to control, and the most important thing was that they were army soldiers, and they all had weapons. Seeing that the local government in the northwest was no longer able to control the current situation, on the one hand, they forcefully demanded that other armies in the northwest immediately suppress the mutinous army, and on the other hand, they also sent messengers to return to Yanjing overnight to report to His Majesty the Emperor, asking His Majesty the Emperor to immediately send troops to suppress the rebellion in the northwest that was about to break out.

For a time, there were rumors that everyone was in danger, and the situation in the northwest suddenly became tense.
