Chapter two hundred and forty fourth enemy attack
"Wait a minute!" Sena Shiyi frowned and stared at Yu Qiuping: "Hongye, do you want to borrow it! Oh no, go to the Dokura and borrow a loan shark to keep things running!"
Before Yu Qiuping could speak, Sena Shiyi's eyes were already red. He jumped in front of Yu Qiuping, held Yu Qiuping's shoulders with both hands and kept shaking, loudly: "Hongye! Are you crazy! Do you know
I don’t know that the most terrifying thing in the world is not death by a thousand swords or thousands of troops, but usury! This thing eats people without spitting out their bones! You can’t borrow money for anything!”
Yu Qiuping was shaken so much by Sena Shiyi that he pushed Sena Shiyi away, took a few steps back, and stood firm on the table: "Who said you were going to borrow a loan shark! I was going to collect the money! Let everyone take it.
Deposit the money with me! Why do you go crazy when you hear about money!"
Sena Shiyoshi was stunned for a moment, and after realizing that Yu Qiuping was not in a hurry to borrow loan sharks, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he couldn't help but mocked: "Hongye, where can you raise the money? Although Ou Qiuping is
The people in Zhang are considered wealthy and have a little spare money. But they know at a glance that Hongye is so short of money that it’s hard to open the pot. Who will put money in your pocket? Once you go, there is no return! Those rich businessmen
I am very smart and would not deposit my money with you!"
"It's not like I won't pay back the money!" Yu Qiuping retorted dissatisfiedly. He felt that Sena's distrust was an insult to his unique concept of banking as a time traveler.
"Then you expect to make money from the storage fees?" Sena Shiyoshi couldn't help laughing and scolded: "If you save a lot of money, you can only pay Tukura ten cents a year for storage fees! You expect to make money from this? Besides, why don't they?
Deposit it in Qingzhou or His Highness Shibata or His Highness Sakuma! Why should you deposit it in the hands of a poor man like you?"
"You!" Yu Qiuping was really driven crazy by Sena Shiyoshi today, "How can someone else deposit money to you and you still have to keep the custody fee?" Yu Qiuping spread his hands and shouted loudly.
Said: "Not only do I not charge storage fees, I also pay them interest!"
"Do you still pay interest in Tokura?" This time, even Naoe Tadayei was frightened, "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"
"This way they will transfer their money to me from other places." Yu Qiuping said matter-of-factly, with his hands on his hips.
"So," Sena Shiyoshi sneered, "Mouji, you are so poor that you are crazy! You actively want to go to the ordinary merchants of Quan Owari to borrow usury? Then you might as well go to Tukura in Qingzhou!"
"You guys are always so cool! How come you don't follow the right path at critical moments!" Yu Qiuping understood that the change of concept cannot be completed overnight, and Sena Shiyoshi definitely didn't know what the meaning of a bank was.
Just when Yu Qiuping was about to give a good financial lesson to his two medieval indigenous subordinates, Sanada Masayuki hurried over.
"Your Highness," Masayuki Sanada, who has always been calm and calm, was also a little flustered at this moment, "there is an enemy situation!"
·
"Enemy situation!" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, "What enemy situation?"
"I just reported from the outpost posted on the Kiso River," Sanada Masayuki said quickly: "On the other side of the Kiso River, it seems that troops from the Saito family are approaching!"
"I'll go!" Yu Qiuping swallowed and immediately understood the situation. "Is the Saito family coming to attack me?"
"Ask for help from Qingzhou City immediately!" Yu Qiuping hurriedly ordered, but Sanada Masayuki did not leave immediately.
"What's wrong, Kihei? Is there anything wrong?" Yu Qiuping asked anxiously.
"Your Highness, I think we should not be so hasty." Sanada Masayuki reminded, "The information may not be accurate. If something happens to the princes..."
"Then lead the way," Yu Qiuping didn't dare to delay, "Take me to the front line now! Jibei, you immediately summon all the Tokiwa Preparators and assemble in Kuroda City to stand by! Wait for my order!"
Along the way, Yu Qiuping kept asking Sanada Masayuki about the specific situation on horseback.
"Why did the alarm sound only when the enemy touched the river?" Yu Qiuping asked with some dissatisfaction, "How can we have time to prepare?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me," Sanada Masayuki said apologetically, "We are new here and are very unfamiliar with this place. Because the Uqiu family does not have any ninjas, it is difficult to penetrate into the Saito family territory to collect intelligence. We can only collect intelligence on the south bank of the Kiso River.
Set up a watchtower for reconnaissance. Naturally, we can only find out when the enemy comes to the river."
"In addition..." Sanada Masayuki whispered: "Several ferry crossings of the Kiso River in this part of the water area are controlled by a group of people called Kawamizu. Their attitude is in favor of the Saito family, so even if our people
It is also very difficult to cross the river, but the enemy can cross the river very covertly."
"It's too late to say anything now!" During the conversation, Yu Qiuping had already rode his horse to the river. The width of the Kiso River in this section of water is about 100 meters, and the depth is estimated to be difficult to wade across, so a ferry must be used.
On the north bank of the Kiso River, you can see a ferry - it is one of the ferry that Sanada Masayuki said is controlled by the Kawami people. And at the ferry on the north bank, there are many people waiting densely, under various banners.
"So many... I'm afraid there are not 1,000 people." Yu Qiupian looked solemn, "The total force that Meinong can raise is less than 16,000 people... Could it be that one of the three people in West Meinong can mobilize 1,000 people?"
?”
"The flags are not correct," Sanada Masayuki shook his head and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I cannot recognize the flags on the other side."
"Can't you recognize them?" Yu Qiuping asked doubtfully, "In other words, are they all from unknown wealthy families?"
"It should be a coalition of small wealthy families." Sanada Masayuki responded.
"1,000 people...that means there are 300 soldiers." Yu Qiuping felt that he was not optimistic now, "How many auxiliary troops can we mobilize?"
"Your Highness," replied Sanada Masayuki, "In a hurry, we may only be able to gather a few dozen people from the castle town."
"Forget it, let's go to the observation deck first." Yu Qiuping said, getting off his horse and walking towards the observation deck built nearby.
"The people here are not evil... It seems that these small wealthy people want to give me a blow." Yu Qiuping muttered as he crawled.
But when he climbed to the top of the observation tower and clearly saw the scenery across the river, a somewhat absurd expression appeared on his face. He shook his head helplessly and smiled at his subordinates under the observation tower: "Yes.
I, Yu Qiuping, can no longer lift the knife, or is it that the mob on the other side has drifted away?"
·
Hara Yori's father, Hara Yorifu, was from a small wealthy family in Motochao County of Mino Province. Haguri County of Mino Province and Haguri County of Owari Province (the fiefdom of Ame Akihira) faced each other across the Kiso River.
Honchao County is just next to Yuli County. The Yuan family is not a big family, and the fiefdom is only about 8,000 shi, so he can only mobilize less than 250 troops. However, this 8,000 shi territory is enough for him to suppress He
The small wealthy families of the Oda family on the other side don't dare to provoke anyone on weekdays.
And this time, he was sent to the army by the Kato family and the Nonomura family. They were also small wealthy families on the Kiso River. Although the harvest of Mino in recent years was not very good, several small wealthy families also relied on it. They saved a lot of savings through frugality. After they became rich and powerful, they also started to think about whether they could go to Owari Country to enjoy the autumn breeze. However, although the small wealthy families in Owari Country were very weak, they They are all local snakes, and all kinds of connections are spread throughout this area. As soon as there is a slight disturbance here, the people on the other side of the river will immediately receive the news, and then they will collect all the valuable things and hide in each small rock village, so that Hara Laifang and the others looked at the river and sighed.
However, God is wise and immediately gave them a great opportunity! Just before and after the Chinese New Year this year, the Oda family suddenly carried out a large-scale transfer of seals. According to the merchants who passed through the tax collection checkpoint, the Oda family’s A lord was changed. The local snakes who had been here for generations were moved to other places. Instead, there was a new lord with an 8,000 stone fiefdom. It is said that this lord turned out to be Yu Qiupei and Imagawa Yoshi of the Imagawa family. After Yuan was killed in battle, he defected to Oda Nobunaga. He was not welcomed by the higher-ups, so he was sent to this remote corner. They had also heard of Yu Qiuping's reputation. In addition to the most famous compassion and trustworthiness, It is said that he is also quite knowledgeable in the art of war.
The minds of the Hara family, the Kato family, and the Nonomura family immediately became active! This outsider from Suruga is obviously unfamiliar with the place. Is there any chance that he can go there to fight the autumn wind? The territory of 8,000 koku can only be used at most. Gather 300 people! 100 warriors who can stand up to the sky. Besides, since this family is a new defector, it must not be of any importance. It is a new arrival, and it will take a year to gather the people. Now around the lord, There may only be a few dozen manpower. However, because Yu Qiuping has become famous in the past few years and is known as a good warrior, several lords were still hesitant at first.
But good news came one after another! There was also conclusive news that the lord did not come to this territory to take office at all, but stayed in Qingzhou City to accompany his wife and children. Hara Yorifang and the others secretly thought, this man who lives in the prosperous Suruga A female warrior who is used to it will definitely not be able to bear to go to a remote corner like Yeli County! And all the time, the affairs of the territory have been taken care of by a one-eyed acting official. Moreover, the financial situation of this acting official seems to be very critical. It was getting to the point where it was impossible to open the pot. When a passing merchant was enjoying himself in the whale house, he saw with his own eyes that a samurai from the Yuqiu family was detained on the spot because he had no money for prostitution. The man claimed that his family had not received any salary for half a year. Well, you can't blame him.
After hearing so much good news, Hara Yorifusa could no longer sit still. He immediately gathered with the head of the Kato family, Mitsuto Kato, and the head of the Nonomura family, Yukinari Nonomura, for a small meeting!
"Do it!" This was the conclusion reached by the three people! Taking advantage of the fact that the new family had not yet established a stable foothold, the head of the family was still carefree in Qingzhou, and his subordinates were not able to pay their salaries, so they went over and beat them hard! All the small villages in Yeli County were destroyed. Sweep aside, take down Kuroda City along the way, and come back with a lot of money! They ruined the crops they just planted, and let them drink from the northwest wind this year!
Therefore, they contacted the Kawami people who were native to the Kiso River. On the condition that they agreed to participate in the random arrests, they obtained their reinforcements and ferry assistance, and went there to rob on April 8th!
They collected a total of nearly 1,000 ashigaru, of which more than 270 had pills, and more than 40 pairs of treasures! The total number of bamboo spears, bows and arrows was almost 400. These peasants and soldiers had just finished their spring plowing, and they were very anxious.
The lords gathered together. The Hara family sent out their eldest son, Hara Nagayori, the Kato family sent out their eldest son, Kato Mitsutai, the Kawami family sent out their second-in-command, Maeno Nagayasu, and the head of the Nonomura family personally led the army.
Chapter completed!
