Li Jin led a large army and miners, led by spies, and marched straight towards Iwami Silver Mountain.

"My lord, it seems that Miyoshi Changqing has discovered a silver mine, and just a few days ago, the guards of Iwami Silver Mountain were suddenly strengthened."

An informant of Li Jin is next to Li Jin and directs the way.

It's just that the situation he reflected aroused Li Jin's vigilance.

Li Jin only knows that Iwami Silver Mountain was mined in the 13th century, but the specific mining time is a little vague.

When the spies were first dispatched, they received information that Iwami Silver Mountain had not yet been mined.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the secret of Iwami Silver Mountain had been discovered by Miyoshi Changqing.

"Have you gone in and seen the progress of their mining?"

"No, by the time we noticed that it had been discovered, it was already too late."

The informant shook his head, indicating that he could not get in at all.

"It's already under martial law, and unless you force your way in, it's hard to sneak in quietly."

Li Jin frowned slightly, he was not dissatisfied with the informant, after all, in a foreign country, without helpers, it was not easy for them to lurk and find the location of Iwami Silver Mountain.

Li Jin was mainly a little worried, and let Iwami Yinshan's insiders escape, which would have a huge impact on his next plans.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jin immediately called several navy thousands.

"Follow your guide, march at once, occupy a dangerous crossing, and never let a man escape."

Li Jin asked the guide to take some Ming soldiers to set off first, intending to block Iwami Silver Mountain first, so as not to let anyone escape at that time.

After all these people were in place, Li Jin led a large army to march and quickly take Iwami Silver Mountain.

"Whoa."

Li Jin's order was quickly executed, and Li Jin continued to advance with his army, albeit at a much slower pace.

On the other side, Lan Yu led the team to pursue Miyoshi Changqing, even though Miyoshi Changqing desperately escaped, he was still under Iwami Castle and was caught up by Zhu Di.

In the case of rushing by two roads, in this world, no one can escape the pursuit of the Ming Navy.

Zhu Di saw that Miyoshi Changqing had no nonsense, and directly ordered to shoot.

Poor Miyoshi Changqing, as a prince of Wadao, was still shot into a sieve by Zhu Di, and he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy.

But although Miyoshi Changqing is dead, the impact of his death is still huge.

The Japanese people on the walls of Iwami Castle were terrified when they saw their family's daimyo die in front of their eyes.

Some people shouted and wanted to rush down to fight with Zhu Di, but more people were forced by the ferocity of the first team led by Zhu Di to turn around and run, not daring to stand on the city wall anymore.

Zhu Di did not attack the city at the first time, but asked people to guard the four gates of Iwami Castle first, and did not allow anyone to escape from the city.

Then Lan Yu arrived, and after seeing the body of Miyoshi Changqing, he praised Zhu Di and said that he must ask for credit to the emperor.

Later, Lan Yu also joined the ranks of the blockade, and before the battle, Li Jin had instructed all the generals that the main purpose of this battle was not to allow any of Iwami Ginshan's insiders to escape.

Killing people is just a means, and the main purpose is to blockade and completely block the purpose of the Ming Dynasty to occupy Iwami Province.

In this way, they can swing between the southern and northern dynasties and get the greatest benefits.

The two waited until Xu Daqin led an army of 20,000 to arrive, and then began to prepare siege equipment to completely capture Iwami Province.

But before the three of them could order an attack, the Japanese in the city obediently opened the door and surrendered.

From the Ming naval fleet's sneak attack on Iwami Port in the early morning to the complete occupation of Iwami Castle now, it took less than half a day for the Ming Navy to firmly hold Iwami in his hands.

After Xu Da received Iwamikoku, he immediately entered the city, controlled the traffic arteries, and forced the Japanese to return to their homes, and were not allowed to go out and wander the streets without an order.

Otherwise, if you find it, you will be killed immediately, leaving no room for anything.

Subsequently, Xu Da ordered the Jinyi Guard, who came with the ship, to enter the mansion of the Miyoshi family and control all the members of the Miyoshi Daimyo.

Then they were interrogated separately one by one to see who else might have access to Iwami Ginzan's secrets.

Subsequently, the arsenals, granaries and barracks in the city were seized, and they were all under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

To Xu Da's surprise, the granary of Iwami City actually had 200,000 stone of grain, enough for the Ming Navy to eat for half a year.

I have to say that Iwami's daimyo Miyoshi Changkei, the wolf's ambitions, and the plot is very big, if it weren't for the arrival of the Ming Navy, which disrupted his deployment, maybe a hundred years later, the Miyoshi family would be more prosperous, even if it is the future competition for the shogunate, it is unknown.

It's a pity that fate is so magical, and all these things prepared by the Miyoshi family are cheaper than Xu Da.

In the arsenal, there are many well-forged standard weapons, but they look more like North Korean weapons.

In fact, these weapons were indeed bought by Miyoshi Changqing from North Korea, and as for the silver used, it was naturally mined from silver mines.

The Ming Navy naturally disdains these weapons, after all, the firearm in his hand is already invincible in the world.

But these arsenals, which are enough to arm 30,000 men, can be used by the servant army.

On the way out, Xu Da and Li Jin had discussed that with 30,000 Ming Navy, they wanted to swallow the island, which was a little difficult and easy to support.

Li Jin immediately put forward the concept of a servant army, in short, to recruit traitors for his own use.

Now these weapons in the arsenal can be used to arm the traitorous servant army, Xu Da immediately asked people to concentrate on guarding the granary and arsenal, these things will be important materials for the annexation of the island in the future.

As the Ming army entered the city, everything went in an orderly manner, and the Japanese people all stayed at home tremblingly, closed the door, and waited for the judgment of the Ming army in fear.

...

Iwami Ginzan.

After receiving a report from the scouts that all the communication arteries of Iwami Ginzan had been blocked, Li Jin decisively ordered the army to attack.

The Japanese army near the Iwami Mountains didn't even react, and they were surrounded by the Ming Navy in the camp.

These Japanese soldiers are usually lazy, after all, they have been stationed here for several months, and they have always been calm, and no one will come to this deep mountain and old forest at all.

Except for a few hunters and firewood gatherers who often go into the mountains, no one will come to this place where birds don't poop.

After all, in addition to mountains and mountains, deep mountains and old forests, lofty mountains, and fierce beasts, only hunters dare to come here.

And in order to keep the secrets of the silver mine, these hunters, who usually come to hunt, have long been secretly executed by order of Miyoshi Changqing.

This makes this mountain forest even more inaccessible.

Except for the miners, who were taken as slaves from time to time, and the convoy that usually came to deliver food, no other living people were ever seen.

Now that the Ming Navy has fallen from the sky and launched a sudden attack, these Japanese troops are completely defenseless, and some people are even drinking and having fun in the barracks, not realizing the danger at all.

After Li Jin captured all these Japanese soldiers, this time he did not kill them on a large scale, leaving these people alive.

It's not that Li Jin is kind, but that Li Jin has more important things to hand over to these Japanese soldiers.

If they know Li Jin's thoughts, I'm afraid that these people would prefer to die under Li Jin's knife.

After dealing with the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain, Li Jin deliberately selected a few Japanese traitors, saying that as long as they were willing to lead the way, they could be exempted from capital crimes.

Soft bones are naturally everywhere, and even if they are brainwashed by bushido, there are always some exceptions.

Under Li Jin's coercion and temptation, three traitors soon stood up and expressed their willingness to lead the way.

I only hope that after the task is completed, I can reward them with a few mothers-in-law.

Li Jin readily agreed, after all, Ishimi Castle was full of single women, and Li Jin naturally had no opinion on being generous to others.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the three of them, Li Jin began to continue to march towards the mountainside.

According to the confessions of these traitors, the mountainside is their base camp, and they do not know what is going on inside.

Li Jin speculated that the mountainside should be the mine cave of Sanhao Changqing, and suppressed the excitement in his heart, Li Jin urged these people to speed up their footsteps, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Soon, Li Jin, under the leadership of a few people, quietly appeared outside the Japanese camp.
