A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The matter of the feudal lord's reserve fund was temporarily put on hold. After all, the amount of the reserve fund was not enough, and there was no way for Koheita to "squander" it directly. He could also wait until two years later when his financial resources were sufficient to deal with it.

Koheita was concerned about the issue of casting cannons in Hamamatsu. After learning that the cannons were cast in clay molds, he restrained his talk about casting cannons in iron molds and quietly waited for the results from their side.

On the other hand, I go to the construction site every day and see that the construction progress is still very good. The way Denemon touched those pieces of wood looked even more lewd than touching his wife. Apart from watching the craftsmen at work every day, I just look at the pile of wood with gleaming eyes.

In addition, after knowing clearly that Xiaoping was too rich, the lion opened his mouth and dared to ask for Korean red pine. At that time, Xiao Pingtai wanted to go up and have sex with the two big mouths. Korean red pine? Why don’t you want Sicilian yew? Why don’t you want Indian teak? Where can I buy it for you?

Not only does Denemon now have no resentment for being invited (tied up), but he also regards Koheita as his scapegoat, hoping to use Koheita to achieve his life goal of building a perfect wooden house.

Xiao Pingtai just responded casually, but people took it seriously. They came to ask Xiao Pingtai where the Korean red pine was. How much material is it? Enough to make several beams? Can you get more?

In the end, I had no choice but to ask Sukezaemon, but Sukezaemon had no choice but to spread his arms. Not only was there no way out, it was not easy to even find a Korean red pine.

Is there official trade between North Korea and Japan at this time? Of course there is. North Korea has granted the Mazon clan a literary quota, allowing them to trade a number of ships every year. This is also the reason why Ma Zong's country is small and poor, but it can have thousands of powerful soldiers.

Of course, there are not a few people who secretly trade with North Korea, and there are also many people who are smuggled by North Koreans themselves. Smuggling is about concealment. Generally, the main importers are tiger skins, leopard skins, sea otter skins, ginseng, hundred books and other cheap and expensive things.

timber? It's not cheap, but it's too big. It's better to transport some iron ingots and agricultural tools to make greater profits. Businessmen value profits and must maximize profits. Who has the trouble to transport wood? There are too few.

So Xiaopingtai simply hid because he was busy with official duties. After all, the autumn harvest was about to begin, which was normal. Xiaopingtai had a lot of official duties to deal with as a designated official.

Although Ping Liu was busy from dawn to dusk all day long, his state was completely different from when he was the director of a textile factory for female workers. He was full of energy. The dozens of people working in the determination enforcement office were directed in a tight and orderly manner, which greatly reduced the workload of Mrs. Xiaoping.

Now Xiao Pingtai just puts Pingliu into the monastery and listens to the report every day. When it comes to the abacus business, there may be only one Pingliu who is the best in the entire mountain. After all, he is a business talent educated in the feudal guild system of the Middle Ages, and he is still one of the best.

Seeing that the rice in Toe Country has begun to be harvested and dried, the rice in Shinano Country is also drooping lower and lower, and it is time for the scythe to fall.

We have to mention again that the Kai Basin is good. The terrain of the basin relatively retains heat, so Takeda Harunobu’s rice matures about ten days earlier than Shinano.

What will Takeda Harunobu do after harvesting the rice? He must be out to stir up trouble!

He first led six thousand Kai tribesmen all the way to Kawanaka Island. The Shinano tribe and the Suruga tribe also mobilized one after another to prepare to join him. The goal was of course to seize rice and other grains from Kawanaka Island.

Takanashi Masayori didn't give up at all, he immediately hit the bells, beat the drums, whined conchs, and hunted with flags. He gathered more than 5,000 people and dared to go to Kaizu Plains with Takeda Harunobu to tear them apart. After fighting each other for more than three days, they successfully protected the more than 100,000 kilograms of rice, beans and wheat on Kawanaka Island.

When Takeda Harunobu's reinforcements of more than 10,000 troops arrived, Uesugi Terutora, who was only 70 kilometers away from Iiyama, also rushed over with more than 5,000 people. In this case, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu must not be absent. Takanashi Masarai's envoy just arrived in the morning, and Yamauchi's 1,000-horse riders rushed out in the afternoon.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu didn't want to disturb the agricultural harvest within his direct territory at all, and he was very evil. He ordered Kiso Yoshimasa to give one thousand two thousand, Ogasawara Nagasaki to give one thousand five hundred, and the national tycoon of Ina to give another eight hundred, making up four thousand five hundred. Baijiu divided his route and went to Haijin to rush for reinforcements.

At this time, Takeda Harunobu's 16,000 people were already continuously suppressing the control area of ​​​​Takanashi Allied Forces. Using the huge advantage in numbers, he tried to completely surround Kaijin Castle and invade Kawanaka Island behind Kaijin in order to seize the 100,000 koku of food.

Fortunately, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu did not mobilize the territory, but first mobilized the standing troops, and appeared at Kaijinping under the banner of Shinano's guardianship.

When Takeda Harunobu saw the Yamauchi army coming to help with banners fluttering, he was afraid that the Yamauchi army was inspired by the three armies of Daihatsu. Before the situation became unclear, Takeda Harunobu was still a conservative and prudent general and suspended the siege of Kaijin Castle.

Not only did Takanashi Uesugi's more than 9,000 allied troops gain a forward position and set up outposts outside the city, it also opened the way for the follow-up reinforcements of the Yamauchi Army to arrive.

When Takeda Harunobu found out the situation the next day, 4,500 members of the Yamauchi Army had gathered. Takanashi Masayori also recovered from the aggrieved state of being beaten into the city. While continuing to seek help from Echigo's eldest nephew, he also worked harder to mobilize the people in his territory to seize food.

Takeda Harunobu also knew that he had missed an opportunity, but he was not in a hurry. He drove the Kuzuo people of the former Murakami clan as the vanguard and attacked the coalition forces fiercely. Anyway, the person who died was not one of his own, and he didn't feel bad.

As if to show off his muscles, Takeda Harunobu also gathered an iron artillery group of more than 300 people, commanded by his younger brother Nobashi nobushige, and fired in cycles to invite battle. They can already compete with all the iron cannons in the mountains to play shooting games, and they are very wealthy.

On the other hand, another force armed by his eldest son Takeda Yoshinobu and Iito Toramasa in Suruga using Suruga Gold Mountain and the dried fish industry is also very eye-catching.

The Ka army, which is famous for its brave and durable infantry that dares to fight and fight, actually has a cavalry unit with Kai samurai as its core and Suruga and Shinano as its members. Although the number is not large, only 200 cavalry. But Takeda Jun's learning ability is impressive.

Takeda Harunobu was indeed a far-sighted daimyo, and he implemented every measure that could enhance his military power.

The most outrageous thing is that in order to show off his wealth, Takeda Harunobu rarely painted the armor of the soldiers under Takeda Yoshinobu and Iitomi Homasa. Not only are all the samurai warriors wearing red armor, but even the ashigaru's armor and trunks are painted with vermilion lacquer.

The infantry and cavalry could not mix with the 800-man troops, but they showed a uniform momentum.

Xiao Pingtai, who was raising food and grass to supply the army in the rear, heard the news from the front line and blurted it out subconsciously.

Takeda Akabi!
