A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 171 14. Internal strife among the Miyoshi brothers

He exchanged some pleasantries with Sukezaemon and agreed that he would notify Heita when his dye was finished in the next two days.

Koheita asked Uncle Tsuna to stay in Ejiri for the time being. As for Yamauchi Yoshiharu, the reason for taking leave was of course to go to Sakai, the most prosperous city in the world, to see if there was any new way to make money. Yamauchi Yoshitsune was doing everything he could. He could make money, so there was no reason to object. He just asked Koheta to come back early. After the stall opened, he needed someone to take charge, and he couldn't do without Koheta.

Another thing is to ask Heiroku to cooperate with Uncle Tsunara to quickly select thirty poor people with families. His ashigaru team will slowly expand, and the iron cannons and equipment will also be sent back to Yamauchi to order.

When you get rich in the future, if you can have 500 iron cannon ashigaru and 500 samurai (the remaining cannon fodder infantry and strong men can make up the number), it will be rampant in Japan. Of course, I'm just thinking about it now. If I can get fifty iron cannon ashigaru now, it will cost Xiaoping Tai's life. Mrs. Xiaoping's efforts to raise money are not enough to fill the bottomless pit of war. She can only take one step at a time and take her time.

With these mundane arrangements completed, Sukezaemon successfully shipped all the dyes. I feel like his dye is quite popular, and just by looking at Sukezaemon's little calculation, I know that he has made a lot of money from this trip.

Kodaira tidied up hastily and took Aji, Tatsuzo and Kanai Meigoro, who came to the mountain alone to work as bodyguards. Taking the smooth sailing boat back to Sakai from Naya was faster and easier than Xiaoheita walking on two legs. Sure enough, in the old days, water transportation and boating were the most convenient way to travel. Thinking about it, I wonder how much of the Ejiri Navy has recovered its strength.

Following the wind and raising the sail, the boat sailed better than a Pegasus. In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Ise-Ominato from Ejiri. The boat was about to stop and dock, except to replenish a little water. As far as sailing is concerned, spending the night on the Pacific Ocean is a dangerous move.

Of course, the main reason Sukezaemon and the others docked in Ise was to bring back some of Ise's specialties. Three melons and two dates were better than nothing. A ship that could haul a thousand koku back home was worthless even if it was sold. You can get dozens of seaweeds if you bring them to Sakai.

What's more, Ise Country is such a poor place! Ise is surrounded by mountains and faces the sea, with abundant water resources, vast land and extremely rich products. Various crops are abundant, and the dyes safflower and red copper are also produced. In addition, the location of Ise Jingu Shrine has a large flow of people, a large demand for food and supplies, and a large output. Suzaemon can enter anything in the market and he will never lose money.

Koheita just took advantage of the opportunity to catch a smooth sailing, and there was nothing going on in Sakai. Sukezaemon had promised to send regular sailing ships every month to bring the news that Natsuya had obtained from the West. Anyway, even if something earth-shattering happens, such as the destruction of the Nizi family by the Maori family, or the decisive battle between the Maori family and the Otomo family, it will not affect the Yamauchi family in the East country at all. As long as they know about it, it will be fine.

Unless something like the Shimazu family marched to Luo, or the Mori family invaded the Kinaiyama Castle Kingdom, which did not exist in history. Otherwise, just let them fight, and it will be nothing more than making wedding clothes for others.

It's very relaxing to embark on the journey with this kind of leisurely and calm mood, it's leisurely and nothing happens. While the boat was anchored, several people got off the boat and had a feast of boiled lobster and soy sauce grilled lobster. Anyway, it’s not something we can’t afford. Xiao Pingtai paid for the treat, and everyone just had a meal.

While eating, Xiaopingta suddenly missed the steamed Olong with garlic vermicelli. Sweet potatoes seemed not to have been introduced to Japan at this time, so it is probably impossible to get sweet potato vermicelli, but you can also use other starchy foods for vermicelli. It's not something difficult to do. Garlic may be a valuable thing in Europe, but it is just average in East Asia. Beat two heads of garlic, chop it into minced garlic, get two Ise lobsters, cut them in half, put a circle of vermicelli on the bottom, and steam them in a pot.

Forget it, let’s talk about the steamed Aolong with garlic vermicelli next time. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get, in the middle of the night!

After passing Ise Bay Kumano Beach and Kishu Beach, Izumi Kuni Sakai Town didn't even need to think about it, I knew that I had definitely arrived. Because apart from a few ocean-going trading ports in Japan (namely Tsuruga, Miho Seki, Hirado, Hakata, Akama Seki), there is nowhere else in Japan that can compare with the grand scene of thousands of sails coming to Sakai Port. Even Gotsu Nanato is far from able to compete with the emerging international trade port of Sakai Town. Every time I come here, I can sigh that even in the old times, there could be such a prosperous and huge city.

Koheita looked at Kanai Meigoro, who had always looked calm and calm, his eyes sparkling. This Kanto country samurai who came from a wealthy background was completely dazzled by this prosperous city. I don’t know if there will be some idea that a samurai with eighty kanmon will be a hammer instead of coming to Sakai Town and living a happy life.

Because he had nothing to do, Koheita did not visit the big boss of Nawu, Imai Munehisa, although with his current status, he would definitely be able to see this famous person this time, and even be honored as a guest of honor.

The group of four people left the colorful world of Sakai without stopping, and walked all the way to the mountain city of Kyoto.

At this time, the Miyoshi family is still blooming in Kinki, and the powerful name is cooking in the fire. Miyoshi's leadership and accompanying people are stable and stable, and the public sentiment in Kinki is also calmed down a lot. Coupled with the previous Jiaoxing Temple Battle, the Kawachi Hatakeyama clan suffered a devastating blow. Yukawa Naomitsu, whom the Hatakeyama clan looked up to as Kanjo, died on the battlefield, and the Kishu clan suffered a disastrous defeat that was like being cut in half. The Miyoshi clan's tentacles were able to directly enter Kii Country, and the social environment of Minami Kinki was greatly improved.

Just look at the cars and horses on this road, and there is an endless stream of business travelers traveling between Kyoto and Sakai.

As they were walking, the road suddenly became congested. There seemed to be a large group of people passing by, blocking the narrow street. Kanai Meigoro immediately held his crotch with one hand out of habit, blocking Taiba Xiaoping behind him.

Aji immediately went to inquire, and the crowded crowd was quickly pushed aside by dozens of ashigaru. Four people were carrying a disheveled, disheveled middle-aged man who was sitting on a wooden board with his hands tied behind his back and his hands and knees tied behind his back. Xiaopingta saw that the flag was the Miyoshi family's team. I am very surprised who this man who was sent by Miyoshi Home Furnishings can actually go to war in such a big way.

"I know, I know, Anzhai Settsumori angered Dr. Miyoshi with his blunt advice, and he was ordered to return home to confine himself for self-reflection." Aji soon found out the news.

Mother! Anzhai Dongkang, a member of the Miyoshi family and a member of the Miyoshi clan, was actually beaten violently and sent back home by his eldest brother!
