Chapter 486: Age of War

Some mountain cities are really difficult to attack, such as the three famous mountain cities.

One of the most popular cities of Mino Iwamura, also known as the "City of Fog", is located on the Komao Plateau surrounded by the Kiso Mountains known as the "Central Alps". During the Warring States Period, Japan was famous for being ruled by the female city lord for a period of time.

Its natural and steep terrain cannot be attacked.

Since Iwamura Castle is located at the intersection of Takeda, Oda and Tokugawa, it inevitably becomes a place that military strategists must fight for. However, this mountain city's narrow path and solid stone walls are indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Japan has since entered a chaotic era of melee, which is inevitable.

The attack on Japan ended up in a bad battle, which was expected by Ma Cheng. Japan is not Myanmar and is not easy to conquer.

Macheng doesn't have the time to conquer the entire territory of Japan, so when will it take to fight? It will take three to five years to fill in 25,000 Taiwan town troops. Just control the important ports in Edo and the coastal areas.

, Those Japanese who are hiding in the mountains will always live in the darkness.

Macheng could not allow Taiwan's town army to fall into the mud of Japan. His strategy was to control the main coastal ports of Japan, support the Houmizuki Emperor and the Japanese traitor, and recruit a large number of Daming, princes and later the Houmizuki Emperor.

In the name of the Japanese, let the Japanese fight themselves and divide their lives and death. The Taiwan Town Army stationed troops in coastal cities to support Emperor Houmizuo and his loyal forces.

While pondering, Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng asked to see each other.

The great purge carried out by Yan Siqi made Ma Cheng very satisfied. More than a hundred officials in the Tokugawa Shogunate had their heads beheaded. The Tokugawa Shogunate era ended just now. It was also unreasonable that the Japanese army was slow to react. The Ming army was carefully prepared for this battle.

A Ming version of the blitzkrieg was fought. The frog jumped in and landed. The cavalry cut Japan into two pieces in half, and the north and south could not look after each other. The army landed under the cover of the warship and took straight to Edo and fought down.

The two of them entered and greeted each other.

Ma Cheng asked with a smile: "What is that emperor busy with?"

Yan Siqi smiled and said, "He is busy enfeoffing the princes and winning the hearts of the people."

Ma Cheng smiled with satisfaction and let him do it. This emperor is a bit naive and cute. The emperor's idea is that Ming Jun will leave sooner or later. Will he monopolize the power as soon as Ming Jun leaves?

But he didn't know that Macheng had great methods and could he easily withdraw his troops if he didn't turn Japan to the bottom. The first person Macheng was interested in Ishimi Silver Mine, and he drooled at this large silver mine.

How big is this silver mine? It was once one of the representative silver deposits in the world in the 17th and 18th century.

It was the largest silver mine in Japan from the late Warring States Period to the early Edo Period.

In the 17th century, the silver production here accounted for one-third of the world's total silver production. The silver produced by this silver mine accounted for one-third of the total silver produced in the world in the 17th century. How terrifying. Ishimi Yin

The mine, now naturally fell into the hands of the Ming army, and two battalions of 1,000 soldiers were sent to guard it.

Yan Siqi came here to deliver the Tibetan silver from the Tokugawa family. While speaking, the three of them pushed open the door and walked in. They were stunned. There were ten large wooden boxes one meter square outside. When they opened it, they saw a pile of them inside.

All of them are full of copper coins. Yes, they are all kinds of copper coins. They are not the dream of gold and silver judgement, nor are they jewelry and antiques. They are all kinds of copper coins connected with hemp ropes, all kinds of

Some are well-made and written to Yongle Tongbao, while others are rough and flawed, even with a hole without any words. The colors and weights vary.

Ma Cheng was stunned and did not expect that Shi Cai's family had a hobby of collecting copper coins. He turned around and asked, "How many are there?"

Yang Tiansheng moved forward and opened one wooden box after another, and smiled and said, "Master, there are nearly 50,000 guan of Yongle Tongbao, and the remaining evil money is nearly 5,000 guan. Some of them have not been counted out. The quantity should be

More than 56,700 silos, the Grand Marshal should not underestimate these copper coins. One Yongle Tong Baoneng will be exchanged for five miscellaneous coins."

Ma Cheng suddenly realized that today's Japan naturally uses copper coins as the mainstream currency. When he picked up a copper coin, the hemp rope was already overwhelmed and broken, and it was piled up with wooden boxes. Looking at the color and the Yongle Tongbao recorded in the book, it turned out to be

The same is true, copper-colored purple-red, real-life reading, small flat lines are light and back without text, weight is about four grams, the four characters of Yongle Tongbao are read directly from top to bottom in regular script, and the words are beautiful and strokes are 50,000.

How much wealth is a 7,000-six-ton ​​copper coins? You can buy ten stones of rice for a single coin, and 56,000-six-ton ​​copper coins can buy 56,000-six-ton ​​copper coins.

This is just the copper coins collected by the Tokugawa family, with more silver, and the silver stored in the cellar is as high as five million taels!

The five million taels of silver were loaded and shipped back to Taiwan, and it took two days to make up for Taiwan's financial difficulties.

Ma Cheng looked at the piles of copper coins and smiled: "It's better to spend these copper coins as soon as possible."

Yan Siqi understood and smiled and said, "Save it as you can, change it to rice and flour later and transport it away as soon as possible."

Ma Cheng nodded with satisfaction. However, 50,000 s of rice and flour will not cause fluctuations in rice prices. It would be better for the Japanese to take the money to the south to purchase rice and flour. Cleaning and house searching will be addictive. The money obtained from the house searching will be exchanged for

The rice and flour are transported away. A chaotic southern Japan will sooner or later have a shortage of food. Let’s see how long the mice can hide in the mountains.

Yan Yang and the others looked at each other and asked to clean up temples in various parts of Edo.

Ma Cheng was puzzled at first, but soon realized that the monk was a rich man in Japan.

Japanese monks were very special during the Warring States Period. They were doctors, diplomats, and even daimyos, all of them were rich. At this time, Japan was a combination of Shintoism and Buddhism, and most of the cultural education in various places was mastered.

In the hands of monks, the samurai class died and buried them in the temple, and they were given the title of "Great Layman" and buried them. Danames like Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin simply became monks, "Shingen" and "Ken" became monks.

Xin" are both legal names, and their real names are "Qingxin" and "Huihu" respectively.

The most active person in Tokugawa shogunate abdicated and opposed the emperor's re-control of the government was these flower monks.

The Japanese monk is a veritable monk, who can marry a child and have a fiefdom. It is common for inciting the people to rebel in troubled times. The Hongan Temple, which was once prominent, even established a country during the Warring States Period. The monk became famous and was on par with the princes of various places.

Avoid that Japanese flower monks who are proficient in eating, drinking, drinking, gambling and other things are the most harmful groups of restless people.

In the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Edo Tokughji Temple.

Amid the shouts of killing, the Ming army attacking Dezhong Temple used six-pound cannons, and one cannon collapsed most of the temple walls, and finally began to collapse. The monks were not fools, and they scattered and ran out of Dezhong.

The temple area hid alone in the mountains, and even if it was changed to a dress, it would be considered a secular life.

The six-pound cannon collapsed the temple wall, and there were muskets in the middle of the Ming army. The soldiers of the Ming army attacked Dezhong Temple with murderous aura, and hundreds of muskets pointed at the temple supervisor and a group of monk soldiers.

The head of the Hua Monk Temple softened his feet, and he knelt down on the ground with a thump, saying, "Manmu of Dezhong Temple pays homage to the Daming soldiers. The young monk is willing to surrender, so please spare your life."

A flash of sword light, a bald head flew into the sky, and a burst of blood was sprinkled out. The Ming soldiers, who were like tigers and wolves, would not reason with this monk. The Ming army, who was born as a pirate, plundered at an astonishing speed.
