Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 148 No one survives, call for punishment!
More than a dozen other samurai also agreed in low voices. What Kameyama promised them was a large amount of money, enough for them to spend several years!
As long as this exploration mission is successfully completed, the money will be easily obtained!
The most important thing is that according to the current situation, the Ming people really have no defenses on the west side of Iwami Mountain, which means that the risk of their mission is extremely low!
I'm afraid I will never encounter such a good deal again in this life.

After the 16 people repaired for a while, they began to make retreat arrangements.

Each of them carries a long coiled rope on their back, each rope is six meters long.

The original plan was for seventeen people to connect all the ropes and find a boulder or a big tree to fix them, which would be enough for them to escape from the steep cliff.

But now there is one person missing, and the length of their ropes is not enough. Coupled with the gap between the expected and the actual cliff, their ropes are all connected and lowered, and they are still nearly ten meters away from the sea.

He took out all the ropes with all his hands and knotted them one by one. One of the warriors cursed in a low voice.

"Damn it, how could that guy be so careless and cause our rope to be not long enough! It's a shame he keeps bragging about how powerful he is!"

However, everyone is good at it. As long as they are careful and find the right position, jumping into the sea from a height of ten meters will not be too dangerous.

After tying the rope, everyone coiled the rope, found a pile of leaves to cover it, and then marked it.

Afterwards, everyone determined their direction, planned to form groups of two, and spread out in different directions.

They have agreed to return here again in two days. As long as someone finds out the results, everyone will leave directly.

Not long after the Japanese warriors left, several figures walked out of the darkness and came to the place where the Japanese warriors had hidden the rope.

"Sir, why didn't you catch them just now? Wasn't it the best time just now? You can annihilate them all in one fell swoop!" A soldier asked Ma He in front of him.

Ma He chuckled lightly, but revealed a very dangerous aura.

"It would be easy to just kill them all, but that would be too boring."

"They're going to come back here in two days anyway, let's see what they can find..."

In the barren place of Ishimiyama in Japan, there were no entertainment venues for people to enjoy themselves.

Although Ma Heping usually didn't think it was anything, these dozen Japanese prey really made him feel interesting, and he wanted to make this hunting game last longer, waiting for these dozen prey to come back and surrender. The net is more interesting...

After a few simple conversations, several figures disappeared again, leaving only silence in the mountains and fields.

the other side,
The Japanese warriors who had been scattered were heading in different directions, deep into Iwami Mountain in the darkness.

The two of them were heading forward, after passing through more than ten miles of undulating mountains, a mine was on their way.

These Japanese warriors sneaked in secretly and did not dare to advance too rashly.

They also understood that the Ming Dynasty had tens of thousands of troops stationed here. Even if they did not set up defenses on the west side of Shijian Mountain, there must be guards in the mountain, so they moved extremely slowly and everything was done safely.

Anyway, their mission this time is very simple. They just need to investigate and don't need to take risks.

The last hour of the night passed, and they had only traveled two or three miles. At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the humid water vapor in the mountains and forests turned into white fog again.

Taking advantage of the morning fog, the two walked another mile. When the mountain fog gradually dispersed, they cut down some branches and weeds with leaves, piled them into a pile, and hid inside.

In the woods all over the mountain, if no one looked carefully, they would never find two living people hiding here.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty began their activities, and from time to time the sound of training shouts came, shaking the mountains and forests!

The two of them were hiding among the weeds and branches, listening to the shocking sound of killing, and their hearts were in a state of panic.

"I heard that these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are very powerful. Each of them can fight one against ten..." One of them suddenly whispered.

The person next to him was already uneasy. After hearing these words, his anus tightened, and a strong sense of urgency enveloped his whole body.

Naturally, he had heard about the power of the Ming Dynasty. The army of Kameyama was defeated by the Adachi clan army of the Northern Dynasty.

But since the Ming Dynasty sent [-] cavalry to assist, the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed. Instead, the Adachi army was beaten and retreated to Nagano.

The fifty thousand cavalry of the Ming Dynasty could directly change the situation of the Japanese and Southern and Northern Dynasties!
The terrifying combat power of the Ming army can be seen from this!
If the two of them are discovered, Shi Jianshan, who is surrounded by Ming troops all over the mountains and plains, will definitely die!The gods shook their heads when they saw it.

"Don't worry, Yoshida-san. They will never think of us coming ashore from the west. As long as they don't deliberately investigate, they will never find us..."

The man spoke to comfort the man named Yoshida, but it sounded more like he was comforting himself.

"Tell me, what is there in Shijian Mountain that can make the Ming vassal king never leave?"

"How would I know this, but Prime Minister Koizumi once guessed that there might be iron ore in Shijian Mountain, otherwise these Ming people would not be able to spend so much money."

Junichiro Koizumi has tried his best to guess as big as possible, but he can only guess that there is iron ore in Iwami Mountain.

After all...even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to think about such a huge silver mine.

"Iron mine? No wonder..." Yoshida secretly sighed.

Then these Ming people really took advantage of it.

"If there really were iron ore in Mount Iwami, would Emperor Kameyama go to war with these Ming people?"

After a moment of silence, Yoshida asked again.

"Hey, why do we care so much? I don't know if it's an iron ore. Not to mention iron ore, even if it's a gold or silver mine, we can't get it. Let's just do things and get money..."

For a whole day, the two of them stayed in the weeds, not daring to even make the smallest move.

Even though his hungry stomach growled, he didn't dare to take out the dry food in his arms and put it into his mouth.

Time passes minute by minute, and for them, every second becomes infinitely long!
Only then did they understand that this mission was not easy at all, and they would lose their lives if they were not careful!

It wasn't until dusk fell again and everything was shrouded in darkness again that the two of them quietly removed the branches and weeds covering their bodies.

Then he took out the dry food that was soaked with sweat in his arms and wolfed it down.

After a while, the food was digested and they felt that their bodies had regained some strength.

After identifying the direction again, the two of them continued walking towards the southeast...

This time they had all night.

The further east they went, the more soldiers guarding the Ming Dynasty they encountered.

Fortunately, both of them had sharp ears and eyes, and they avoided it in time every time.

After two full hours passed, they finally spotted a glimmer of light in the distance ahead.

There seems to be a cave entrance just on the mountainside, and there are many soldiers guarding the cave entrance.

The two got closer and finally saw clearly that the bright spot halfway up the mountain was really a mine!
"Is what Prime Minister Koizumi guessed true?" The two of them hid themselves in the dark forest and stared at the entrance of the mine without blinking.As long as they see someone inside transporting the mined iron ore, they can go back and resume their lives!

at last,

At the exit of the mine, two craftsmen came out pushing a cart, but inside the cart, it was not iron ore.

But it’s silver ore with grayish white luster!
These warriors traveled everywhere and were at home all over the world. They were well-informed and recognized the silver stones mined by the craftsmen.

"Silver mine! It's actually a silver mine!" Yoshida's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

The person next to him quickly covered his mouth and looked around nervously...

Nobody found out!

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were in turmoil!Shocked!
It turns out that there is a silver mine inside Iwami Mountain!
No wonder these Ming people defended themselves so tightly!
How can iron ore compare with silver ore!Ten iron mines are not as good as one fine silver mine!

They thought that Junichiro Koizumi's deduction was bold enough, but they didn't expect the fact to be so unbelievable!
Shijian Mountain is the territory of the Japanese country. There is a silver mine in it that no Japanese people know about, but it is occupied by these Ming people!

What a ridiculous thing this is!
It took a full quarter of an hour for the two of them to recover from the shock.

They knew something was serious.

If it were an iron mine, Houguishan might not start a direct war with the Ming Dynasty, but at most try to get a share of the pie.

But this is a silver mine!Represents extremely huge interests!
Even if Hou Guishan fights to the death, he will definitely start an all-out war against these Ming people with red eyes!Take back Iwamiyama!
The two of them were also citizens of the Japanese country, and they knew to some extent the honor and disgrace of their family and country.

The silver mines that were supposed to be in the Japanese country were now occupied by these foreign Ming people, and the two of them were very angry!
These damn Ming people are so cunning!
They must send this news back!

The Iwami silver mine should belong to their Japanese country!
Without making a sound, the two of them turned around and carefully returned to the way they came...

When it got light again, the two of them hid in the mountains and forests again, waiting until dark to set off on their way.

On the second night after these Japanese warriors climbed Mount Iwami, the two Yoshidas successfully returned to the agreed upon location.

Several other groups of Japanese warriors also arrived one after another.

After a few people talked, it turned out that not only Yoshida and the others discovered the mine, but the other two groups also discovered that there was a silver mine in Iwami Mountain.

"Let's go back quickly, report the news to His Majesty the Emperor, and drive these Ming people out of Japan!"

Yoshida said, and went to dig out the buried rope at the marked place.

But as he dug, his movements became more and more urgent, and finally he stopped.

"Yoshida-san, what's wrong?" the person who was in the same group with him asked.

I saw Yoshida turning his head extremely slowly, his face was covered with cold sweat, his complexion turned pale, and his whole body was trembling slightly!
"The rope...the rope is missing..."

When everyone heard this, they came over quickly and started digging anxiously.

Sixteen people dug for half a quarter of an hour. The excavated soil was piled up to their waists, but they could not find the ropes they had buried in advance.

"How...how could this happen? It was clearly buried here before..."

"Without the rope...how do we leave?"

As he said this, several people suddenly had a terrifying thought in their hearts!

The rope will not disappear for no reason. Since they did not take it away,
Then...there are only Ming soldiers here!

As if to confirm their thoughts, a voice sounded at an inappropriate time.

"You've already come, why are you thinking about leaving?"

As the voice fell, dense footsteps suddenly sounded all around, and countless Ming soldiers instantly poured out of the mountains and forests!
At this moment, the sixteen warriors felt despair!
Under such circumstances, they are unable to fly!
The soldiers separated a road, and Ma He, who was holding a torch, and Daoyan followed Zhu Di to the front of a group of warriors.

The sixteen warriors finally met the rumored Zhu Di, and they felt that he was domineering and unyielding!
Under this momentum, they could not resist at all.

"Now Guishan still has some means and some brains, but... whoever comes will die!" Zhu Di said lightly.

Daoyan took a step forward, looked at the warriors with a smile on his face, and asked amiably,
"What did you all see?"

"Silver... silver mine..." A warrior couldn't bear the pressure and answered.

"Hehehehe," Daoyan smiled and said nothing.

Zhu Di glanced at them again, and then ordered,

"Execute them all! Cut off their heads and send them to the Yoshino Palace. Ask Houguishan to ask for compensation. His Japanese people broke into our Ming army camp without permission and defiled the spiritual platform. I want to ask him for compensation!"

Ma Heyi lowered his head, "No!"

Then he waved his hand at his soldiers, and a dozen long swords flashed with cold light and slashed at the warriors!
"what……!"

The warriors had no chance to fight back. After giving out the last shrill cry, the mountaintop became quiet again.

None of the seventeen warriors sent by Houguishan survived...

After a few days,

Goguishan, who was at the Yoshino Palace, gradually became anxious.

So many days have passed, but the warriors sent out have yet to come back...

Did something unexpected happen to them?
This time, in order to find out what the people of Ming Dynasty were doing in Ishimiyama, he had to mobilize and train troops and recruit samurai. After so long, if it had no effect at all, Houguishan would not be able to accept it!
At the court meeting, ministers began to request Hou Guishan to send the [-] troops transferred back to the front line.

After all, no one knew whether Ashikaga Yoshimitsu would suddenly launch an attack.

At this moment, the guards outside came to report, and the Ming envoy came to see him!
When Hou Guishan heard the news, he immediately panicked!
Why did you come at this time?

Have those warriors been exposed?
Or be captured by Zhu Di...

I don’t know if he was confessed...

Hou Guishan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly asked people to invite the Ming envoy.

After a while, Ma He led several elite soldiers into the hall.

And in the hands of the soldiers, they were holding a bunch of heads. They were the warriors sent out by Guishan before!
When Hou Guishan saw this scene, his heart fell to the bottom!Then he looked at Junichiro Koizumi below...
