The Most Powerful Man in the World

Everyone watched Yu Dayou stride away with admiration. The first battle of landing in Dongying would fall into Yu Dayou's hands. Many generals were so envious of Yu Dayou.

Chu Yi swept over the crowd, saw the reactions of everyone's expressions in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Everyone, Shi Jianguo is just the beginning, there are dozens of large and small countries in Dongying, and there will always be people who will attack the city and destroy the country in the future. Chance."

At this moment, Danai Yixing reacted, looked at Chu Yi in horror, and screamed involuntarily: "It's just a delusion, I have dozens of countries in the East, and I will never surrender to the swords and soldiers of the others. I have been defeated by Dongying, and if you want to conquer my Dongying, it is absolutely impossible..."

Chu Yi didn't take Dannei Yixing's roar to heart at all, he waved his hand and said, "I will imprison him, until this king captures the lords of the Eastern Ying countries alive, and sacrifices them to His Majesty, to the Taimiao Temple, and to all the dynasties. First Emperor!"

The roaring Danai Yixing was gagged and dragged out. Chu Yi put his hands behind his back, but his eyes were directed towards the distant mountains and rivers, and there was a faint glint in Chu Yi's eyes. mango.

"Iwami Silver Mountain!"

When the generals heard Chu Yi whispering softly, their eyes lit up, especially Lu Dazhu. As the deputy commander, Lu Dazhu naturally knew many secrets that others didn't know, including information about Iwami Yinshan.

When Lu Dazhu saw the information about Iwami Silver Mountain before, he almost instinctively couldn't believe that there was such a silver mountain in this world.

The huge Ming Dynasty can smelt only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, but a mere land in the east can get as much as six or seven million taels of silver every year, and a mountain of silver can be smelted every year. Million taels of silver.

The annual tax revenue of Ming Dynasty is only about [-] million taels, which is not comparable to the silver smelted by Dongying every year.

Since then, Lu Dazhu has remembered Ishijian Yinshan, and I'm afraid he will never forget it in his lifetime. When he heard Chu Yi mention Ishijian Yinshan, Lu Dazhu couldn't help but open his eyes wide, breathing a little short of breath. Zhu Yi said: "General Manager, this big mountain can't be that silver mountain!"

Many generals looked at Lu Dazhu with surprise, but Lu Dazhu's reaction was too great, he was not reserved at all, and he did not have the image of the deputy commander of the army.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too difficult to see the silver mountain, I am afraid that Lu Dazhu would not be so excited and gaffe.

Everyone looked at Chu Yi, Chu Yi glanced at everyone, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed at the mountain in the distance and said with a light smile, "What do you think of this mountain?"

Looking at the big mountain in the distance, the mountain is not steep and the scenery is not beautiful. Compared with the famous mountains and rivers in the Central Plains, this mountain is just an ordinary mountain and river, and there is nothing extraordinary at all.

A general said quickly: "General Manager, this is just an ordinary mountain, how can it match the great rivers and mountains of my Central Plains!"

Chu Yi sighed softly: "Yes, this mountain has no beautiful scenery, but this mountain is a mountain of silver, which can smelt millions of taels of silver every year..."

"hiss……"

"This is impossible……"

"how is this possible……"

In this era, except for a very small number of people, not many people even in Dongying know how much silver Iwami Ginzan produces every year.

If it wasn't for the fact that Iwami Silver Mountain was too famous, I'm afraid Chu Yi would not be able to remember the records about Iwami Silver Mountain.

In its heyday, the silver from Iwami Silver Mountain accounted for almost one-third of the world's circulating silver, ranking first in Asia. It can even be said that before the American silver was mined on a large scale, Dongying was once the largest silver producer in the world. Exporting countries, especially Iwami Ginzan is the most.

When Chu Yi told Zhu Houzhao about the richness of gold and silver deposits in Dongying, he focused on Iwami Silver Mountain, and the reason why he chose Iwami Country as the landing site this time was because he came to this amazing silver mountain.

Chu Yi was not at all surprised by the reactions of the generals, not to mention them, I am afraid that anyone who knows the horror of Iwami Yinshan's silver production will feel shocked.

After returning to their senses for a while, the generals stared at Chu Yi with their eyes shining, and only one person said with a suffocating arrogance: "Only my Ming can possess such silver mountains, and anyone who blocks them is my Ming's. The mortal enemy, God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!"

Chapter four hundred and sixty first two young generals

As a general of the imperial court, everyone knows what the Ming Dynasty looked like a few years ago. The tax revenue of a country was only three or four million taels of silver.

If a few million taels of silver grains are placed on an individual or a certain family, this is naturally a very astonishing amount, but if these millions of taels of grain silver are placed on a country with a high heaven, it is simply Just a joke.

Think about a small and wild country like Dongying, which can produce millions of taels of silver in a year, and this big mountain can produce millions of taels of silver in a year.

Among the generals present, after realizing how amazing the output of this silver mountain is, the first thought in their hearts is to occupy it no matter what.

Only the Ming Dynasty is qualified to occupy such a land of Jinshan and Yinhai, and Dongying is simply not worthy of occupying such a treasure mountain.

Lu Dazhu's breathing was a little short, and his face flushed as he looked at Chu Yi and said, "General Manager, I would like to lead a group of troops to occupy Iwami Silver Mountain!"

When the other generals saw this, they looked at Lu Dazhu one by one, that is, Lu Dazhu opened his mouth. If it was another person, the custody would be attacked by everyone.

Everyone came across the ocean, and traveled thousands of miles all the way. Many people even suffered a lot on the boat. They finally reached the land of Dongying, but they found that there was no opponent in the land of Dongying.

Shi Jianguo only has thousands of troops, and he is not even an opponent of such a pioneer as Yu Dayou. In everyone's opinion, they are the place where heroes are useless.

The first merit has been taken by Yu Dayou, and now he finally has the opportunity to make merit.

After all, it is also a silver mountain. If anyone can occupy it, then when the battle report is heard, the custody will enter the sight of the emperor. Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and the future is naturally bright.

But Lu Dazhu jumped out to compete with them.

Chu Yi laughed, shook his head at Lu Dazhu and said, "General Lu, as the deputy commander of the first army, you will have your share of the merits of your subordinates, so don't compete with everyone else."

Hearing what Chu Yi said, the eyes of the other generals suddenly lit up, their faces showed a bit of excitement, and they all looked at Chu Yi with anticipation. opportunity to them.

Lu Dazhu didn't get angry after hearing what Chu Yi said. Instead, he smiled and saw Chu Yi's eyes swept over the generals, and finally his eyes fell on a general who looked rather calm and said, "Qi Jingtong!"

Among the generals, Qi Jingtong, who was quite inconspicuous, was stunned when he heard Chu Yi's name, and then reacted, and hurriedly bowed to Chu Yi: "The last general is here!"

When Chu Yi named Qi Jingtong's name, the rest of the generals sighed in their hearts and looked at Qi Jingtong with envious eyes. Everyone knew that since Chu Yi named Qi Jingtong's name at this time, the intention was self-evident. I'm afraid that the candidate to capture Iwami Silver Mountain is Qi Jingtong.

Speaking of Qi Jingtong, maybe everyone has no influence, but if you mention his son, I am afraid that many people are not unfamiliar.

The name of Daming Qi Shaobao and Qi Jiguang can definitely be said to be known to everyone, and Qi Jingtong is precisely the father of Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang's lineage can be said to be a famous family. The ancestor Qi Xiang was Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldier, and he died in battle when he accompanied Lanyu on an expedition to Yunnan, and his descendants inherited the post of General Mingwei.

And Qi Jingtong is the descendant of Qi Xiang, so Qi Jiguang can also be said to be from a family of military generals. Qi Jingtong went to the Shenji camp to sit in the camp. Although he did not perform so well in the Shenji camp, it can be regarded as a member without any stains. 's general.

Being able to teach such a famous general as Qi Jiguang to come out, Qi Jingtong naturally has some ability, although Qi Jingtong doesn't know how he got into Chu Yi's eyes from a mere camp, and was pulled out by Chu Yi.

But think about Yu Dayou, Lu Dazhu and the others, they were either unknown or had no backers in the army, and they were all selected by Chu Yihui.

Even a teenage boy like Yu Dayou is valued by Chu Yi, so it is not surprising that Qi Jingtong was simply pulled out by Chu Yi.

Of course, everyone is still very envious of Qi Jingtong's luck. Fools know that no matter who they are, as long as they receive the order to seize Ishijian Yinshan, it must be a great achievement. Of course, the future is boundless!

Looking at Qi Jingtong who was bowing down in front of him, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "This king ordered you to lead [-] soldiers and horses to capture Shijian Yinshan, are you sure?"

Iwami Country is only a few thousand soldiers and horses, most of which are in Iwami City, and Iwami Silver Mountain is naturally an important place for Iwami Country, so [-] troops are stationed all year round. Protecting Iwami Ginzan, on the other hand, is also used to supervise and manage the smelting of silver mines by tens of thousands of craftsmen in Iwami Ginzan.

Knowing Iwami's military deployment and Iwami's military strength, the generals present knew very well that as long as it was not a waste, leading thousands of troops would surely be able to easily capture Iwami Silver Mountain. If not, I am afraid that there is no qualification to appear here.

The generals who can be valued by Chu Yi and brought by his side are naturally capable. Even if Qi Jingtong's ability is not even in the top ten among these generals, it cannot be denied that Qi Jingtong is not a general. waste.

It is also impossible for Chu Yi to treat the important affairs of the military as a child's play because of his admiration for Qi Jingtong's unborn son.

Chu Yi dared to hand over such a task to Qi Jingtong, that is, he believed that Qi Jingtong's ability could complete this task, otherwise he would not speak, and the generals present could not remain silent.

"At the end of the day, I would like to use the head of the item as a guarantee, and I will take the stone and see the silver mountain, otherwise I will come to see you!"

Chu Yi nodded slightly.

Qi Jingtong strode out, quickly ordered thousands of horses, and roared straight to the Ishijian Silver Mountain in the distance.

Iwami Silver Mountain is the source of wealth for the Ouchi clan. It can be said that the Ouchi clan has enough confidence to resist the prying eyes from the surrounding countries and even break out every year because of the existence of Iwami Silver Mountain.

As long as he masters Iwami Silver Mountain, not to mention other things, the one million taels of grain silver alone can support the Ouchi clan's successive battles.

Although it is said that only a small part of these silver patterns can be converted into war materials by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they are still much stronger than the surrounding countries. Otherwise, under the peeps from the surrounding, the Da Nei clan would have been destroyed long ago. , and it is impossible to keep Iwami Yinshan firmly in his hands.

Tao Xingfang was the governor of the Da Nei clan, and he controlled the horses of the Da Nei clan, but this did not mean that Tao Xingfang had no one else in the Da Nei clan who could compete with him.

The soldiers of Saokage, who led the elite samurai of the Ouchi clan, and Takahiro Ouchi, who was in charge of Iwami Ginzan, were both in control of the force.

Ouchi Takahiro is the younger brother of Ouchi Yixing, who is in charge of Ishijian Silver Mountain, and the two thousand soldiers and horses of Iwami Silver Mountain are in charge of Ouchi Longhong.

Qi Jingtong was riding a war horse, and behind him, thousands of soldiers and horses rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky and went straight to Iwami Silver Mountain.

Many places in Iwami Silver Mountain are full of smoke and smoke. From a distance, you can see many craftsmen digging silver mines between the mountains, and there are many workshops that smelt silver mines all over the mountains.

Tens of thousands of craftsmen and slaves worked day and night in the mountains to smelt silver mines for the Ouai clan.

If it were not for the tens of thousands of craftsmen and the hard work of smelting silver mines in Iwami Ginzan, it would be impossible to have millions of silver grains flowing into Ouchi's treasury like flowing water.

Naturally, such a big movement at the foot of the mountain could not be concealed from the defenders on the mountain.

Thousands of people, Ma Xing's teachers, came to the public and immediately reached the ears of Ouchi Longhong. As the younger brother of Ouchi Yixing, although he said that his ability is very general, he has won the trust of Ouchi Yixing. Give Iwami Ginzan such an important place to its management.

Now that I suddenly learned that thousands of people and horses came straight to Iwami Ginzan, Ouchi Takahiro's first reaction was that Izumo or An Yi and other countries came to Iwami Ginzan again. , This kind of thing is not the first time for Ouchi Takahiro, and naturally he has his own way of coping.

Takahiro Ouchi first ordered the soldiers and horses stationed in Iwami Ginzan to be prepared, ready to face the invading army at any time, and at the same time sent messengers to Iwami Castle for help.

Through the telescopic mirror, you can vaguely see a crowd of black people coming. Ouchi Takahiro can be sure that there are no less than thousands of people coming. Once they fight, the two thousand people under his men are probably not opponents, so Ouchi Takahiro is on the one hand. To make a defense, on the one hand, to send someone to ask for help, it can be said that the handling is very appropriate, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, although Ouchi Takahiro said that he had made arrangements, he was very worried when he saw the crowd of people getting closer and closer to the bottom of the mountain.

If the enemy who invaded was from Izumo or An Yi, then he must have received a summons from the Ouchi clan long ago, but until now he has not received any news, so Nei Longhong was very uneasy in his heart.

"Look, General, the army at the foot of the mountain..."

Beside Ouchi Takahiro, a family warrior looked at the army under the mountain with shock on his face, and said to Ouchi Takahiro.

At this moment, Takahiro Ouchi was also shocked, and he muttered: "Oh my God, where did these soldiers and horses come from, and their equipment is so well-equipped, it is definitely not Izumo and An Yi. what the country can afford.”

It's not that Takahiro Ouchi looks down on Izumo or An Yi. Even their Ouchi clan sits on a precious mountain like Ishigin Mountain, and they can't arm all their soldiers and horses. Cloud country.

"This... this seems to be the banner of Daming!"

The samurai headed towards Ouchi Takahiro with some uncertainty.

When Takahiro Ouchi was thinking about what forces these soldiers and horses came from, the words of the samurai next to him exploded in his heart like a thunder.

"Ming dynasty?"

Taking a closer look, Ouchi Takahiro couldn't help but sink his heart. Obviously, he also recognized that these men were the soldiers of Daming.

"How is it possible, how did the Great Ming Soldiers appear in my Shijian country, how did they cross the ocean, and why did they come to Shijian Yinshan!"

The few warriors on the side couldn't help showing a bit of a wry smile when they heard the words. Needless to say, Iwami Ginzan's name is said to be known to not many people, but it can't be hidden from those who have a heart. I haven't seen Izumo and An Yi around. Every country is trying to see the silver mountain, and now it seems reasonable to have one more Ming Dynasty.

Here, Qi Jingtong led the army to appear under Iwami Silver Mountain, and at the same time, Yu Dayou also led thousands of troops to arrive under Iwami City.

Tao Xingfang couldn't help showing a bit of despair when he looked at the thousands of elite Ming troops under the city.

Just looking at the bright armor and neat appearance of the army, even an idiot can see that this is a strong army. The most important thing is that after seeing the Ming army, Tao Xingfang looked at the people he had trained. It doesn't look pleasing to the eye.

In comparison, if Daming's soldiers and horses are regular troops, then the soldiers and horses he trains look like some local garrison troops.

Yu Dayou shouted at Tao Xingfang from a distance: "Tao Xingfang, don't open the city gate quickly, welcome my tomorrow's troops into the city!"

Tao Xingfang, as an important official of the Ouchi clan, is naturally not an ordinary person. At this moment, almost all the important members of the Ouchi clan are concentrated on the city wall.

Da Nei Yixing was captured. Naturally, such a big event alerted the people of the Da Nei clan for the first time. Da Nei Yi Xing's younger brother, Da Nei Longhong, was not in the city, so the Da Nei clan used the son of Da Nei Yi Xing, Da Nei Yi Xing. Long dominates.

Although Ouchi Yilong is only in his teens, he is the candidate for the next Ouchi clan head.

Ouchi Yilong is also worthy of being the next-generation family head that Ouchi is optimistic about. His age is almost the same as Yu Dayou, and he has a somewhat calm image at a young age.

Looking at the Ming soldiers and horses under the city at this moment, although Ouchi Yilong said that his face was a little pale, he did not scream in fright, and his performance was quite good.

When Yu Dayou persuaded Tao Xingfang to surrender, Tao Xingfang subconsciously looked at Ouchi Yilong.
