Wangshan ran a dead horse, although the mountain seemed to be quite close, but it really took Yan Ling more than a day to get there.

During this time, the Luzon army showed their strength.

Equipped with excellent armor and a firecracker army of several hundred men, they launched a surprise attack on the Japanese troops nearby.

Although the news of the attack on the docks had been received, the Luzon army was almost following them, and they were not prepared at all. Besides, after fighting for so long, the soldiers were extremely war-weary, and the Luzon army easily occupied several nearby towns, two hundred Japanese troops were killed, nearly a thousand soldiers surrendered, and the central part of Shimane Prefecture was completely taken over by the Luzon Governor's Palace.

And Yan Ling finally entered the forest.

With the help of the captured guides, they quickly found a silver mine in the mountains and easily controlled it.

When they saw this silver mine, some of the miners behind Yan Ling showed puzzled expressions - they didn't understand why Yan Ling had traveled thousands of miles to bring them here to mine a small silver mine.

Yes, small silver mines. The miners present were all miners in the government silver mine that had been dug up at a high price, and they were all veterans of mining, and it could be seen at a glance that according to this scale, it was just a silver mine that could not be smaller.

The profits obtained by the laborers to occupy this place may not be as good as the cost of waging war and occupation.

After Yan Ling asked the name of the mine, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.

Iwami Silver Mine, it's here!

Yan Ling ignored the confused and even foolish eyes around him, this is a silver mine in Iwami! A bunch of idiots who only know how to look at appearances.

The Iwami Silver Mine, which had been mined since the 16th century, was the largest silver mine at the time, and its silver production even accounted for one-third of the world's total production in the 17th century!

Even later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched the Korean War, and the main source of military spending was this Iwami silver mine!

What a horror!

As for why it is only a small silver mine now, it is also because only a small part of the mine is mined at the superficial level, and the real underground silver mine will not be officially discovered until 1526, that is, forty-nine years later.

Otherwise, Hiroshi Ouchi would have sent heavy troops to surround this place a long time ago, how could there be only a few dozen people guarding it.

This wave is completely a leak!

While instructing the miners to prepare for mining, Yan Ling contacted his subordinates and sent someone to contact the Great Internal Minister.

Almost, it's time to start negotiations.

……

When Masahiro Ouchi learned that he had been beaten for some reason, he was confused.

Especially when he learned that his opponent was the Chen family of the Luzon Governor's Palace, he was even more confused.

As an important island in the South China Sea, Luzon certainly has a lot of dealings with Japan in normal times, and Masahiro Ouchi has also done business with them, and the two sides are not friends, but they are still friendly.

Why, why is this a sudden attack?

Then, he felt the monstrous anger, as a prince, an outsider dared to provoke at will!

However, when he learned that his opponent's strength was about 4,000 men, and that there were many warships, his anger was extinguished in an instant.

His own family knows his own business, and after a long war, his subordinates no longer have the heart to fight, and the other party's combat effectiveness is very strong, and the battle that happened in Shimane Prefecture has proved all this.

The 6,000 men under his command may not be enough for their 4,000 men.

For a moment, Masahiro Ouchi felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

It's too embarrassing to be beaten up in your own home, but you can't fight back.

But there is no way, now there are no conditions for war at all.

And Yan Ling, at this stage, did not replace the Great Internal Macro and directly occupy the strength of this region.

Ouchi Masahiro is not without allies, in the Yingren Rebellion, the total strength of the Western Army under Ouchi Masahiro was 110,000, and now although a lot of people have died, tens of thousands of people can still be pulled out.

In addition, at this time, the shogunate rule had not completely collapsed, so it was impossible to imagine that the Luzon army would be attacked by a group.

Both sides need to negotiate, and it's a perfect fit.

……

At the junction of the areas controlled by the two sides, a small house was improvized, with the supreme ruler on either side sitting opposite each other and the interpreter sitting next to him.

As soon as the negotiations began, Hiroshi Ouchi took the lead in making a statement:

"Why did the Luzon Governor's Palace suddenly attack my vassals? The casualties of our navy and army amounted to more than 1,500! Your Excellency must give me an explanation today, otherwise I will definitely lead thousands of soldiers of the Ouchi family to compete with Your Excellency! ”

Yan Ling immediately denied it:

"I didn't attack you. We just lost a soldier as we passed through the area, so we sent someone ashore to search for it. It was your men who first did not allow us to go ashore, and then launched an attack on us, so that we were forced to fight back, and you provoked this war! ”

Hiroshi Ouchi was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious:

"Nonsense, as far as I know, no one came to the island at all before you launched a shameless sneak attack!"

"How dare you turn black and white upside down!"

Yan Ling held back the sentence "yes and what" back into his stomach, and said lightly: "If Your Excellency Ouchi thinks so, then I can't help it." ”

"We can only have a hunt in this Shimane Prefecture."

As soon as these words came out, the big Uchisho Hiroshi suddenly felt a little numb.

He was very sure that he couldn't beat the other party, but if he invited other daimyo to intervene, the other party would certainly not be an opponent, but in his own territory, it was estimated that there would be nothing left at that time.

On the contrary, the opposite party is willing to sit at the negotiating table with himself, indicating that he has interests and can still talk.

The truth is only in the range of the cannon, that's true.

He sighed, softened his tone, and asked:

"What do you want?"

"I want you to open the port of Shimane Prefecture, and the Governor's Office of Luzon will station troops and sell goods here, and you will not be taxed." Yan Ling said, and then seemed to think for a while, before saying:

"The forest outside the harbor is easy to hide soldiers, and I want you to hand it over to my subordinates to manage it to prevent you from harboring bad intentions."

"There's a silver mine there, so it's supposed to compensate us for the cost of this trip."

"That's all?" Hiroshi Ouchi blinked.

The Luzon Governor's Mansion now controls most of Shimane Prefecture! As a result, there will be one, and the port will be opened, and a forest of Rausch's will be taken?

"Yes. And as compensation, the Governor's Office of Luzon will form an alliance with you against foreign enemies. Yan Ling nodded.

Masahiro Ouchi reflected on the devastating fighting power of the Luzon army against his men in the previous battle.

Such an army numbered 4,000 men.

The number of 4,000 people alone was already a lot for Japan at that time, not to mention such combat effectiveness.

Why, how can there be a feeling that I still earned?

Still uneasy, he inquired about it again, and learned that the port was of little use except for garrisons, and that it was not a privileged location, and that there was only a small silver mine in the forest, and that the daimyo immediately agreed.

Although Luzon beat them badly, as allies, it was reassuring.

The two sides signed the Shimane Treaty, which included all the above conditions in the treaty and formally formed an alliance.

Walking out of the small house and looking at the treaty in his hand, Yan Ling only felt that his heart was full of indescribable joy.

Iwami Silver Mine is officially here!

However, he also knew that the reason why he could obtain it so easily now was because although there was a certain amount of mining here, there was not much.

As a country with many gold and silver mines, Japan still has a lot of minerals under the jurisdiction of Hiroshi Ouchi, so he doesn't care about a small part of it, seeing that he is strong, so he simply retreats, just in exchange for a strong ally.

But after all, he is on other people's territory, and this thing can't be hidden, and the huge interests of Iwami's silver mine will even make the surrounding daimyo even go to war to include it under his command.

He knew very well that relying only on the strength of the Luzon Governor's Mansion and the more than 400 clan soldiers on the mainland to fight against the many princes in the future was really a bit nonsense.

Yan Ling is now fighting for a time, and before he finds out, he can earn as much as he can.

As for what happens after that, it depends on the situation, anyway, as long as the secrecy is done well, it can still be fooled in a year or two.

In addition, in Kyushu and other places, he bought and painted according to the gourd before, and obtained the mining rights of several small silver mines. But these few are really small silver mines.

Thank you for the reward of "Reader 1504435735196188672", thank you very much!

Tomorrow for the big guy!
