On the second day after returning, Yu Qiupei held a high-level evaluation meeting in the castle tower. Naoe Tadayei, Amano Keitoku, Sena Ujiyoshi, Takenaka Shigeharu and Sanada Masayuki, the famous Yu Qiubei five soldiers, all put down their work.
, came to visit His Highness who escaped only after a narrow escape.
"I have committed a crime that deserves death." As soon as he entered the room, Amano Kagetoku knelt down to Yu Qiuping without any explanation, kowtowed deeply, and the crow on his body lowered its wings listlessly, "His Royal Highness went to Shikoku this time and was in danger many times.
, It’s all caused by my inability to do things well.”
"Konbei, it doesn't have to be like this. None of us thought that Miyoshi Yoshiken's plan would be like this, and no one thought that Ji Yi would be his abandoned son." Yu Qiuping sighed and squatted down to help him up.
Amano Keide, the latter was unmoved.
"Crow, this is not your responsibility. Strategies are always mutual in both directions." Although Takenaka Shigeharu and Amano Keitoku have never been on good terms, he whispered very objectively at this moment.
"It's not scary to attack each other in both directions. We also succeeded in pacifying Ji Yi this time." After being silent for a long time, Amano Kyoude suddenly raised his head and stared at Yu Qiuping who was looking down at him with his sinister eyes.
, "The scary thing is that every time Mihaoshi Yixian makes a move, his target is His Highness's life. But his skills are not as good as others, and he can't hurt Mihaoshi Changqing at all. After a few more attacks in both directions, the Yuqiu family
Maybe we can expand the territory, but His Highness’s life may not be there. Do you expect His Highness to be so lucky every time and be able to avoid all the killing moves?”
Amano Keitoku's words made Uakiuhei speechless for a moment. Yes, Miyoshi Yoshiken first arranged assassins on the mountain behind Oka Toyo Castle this time; then he asked the Awaji Marines and Sanki soldiers to abandon Kii and encircle and suppress Umekihira on Shikoku Island;
Later, he used Kira Qinzhen as bait to lure Yu Qiuping to the vicinity of Omori City, where he was almost killed by the Shihe Icun Formation. Then, he used a divorce plan to prevent Yu Qiuping from retreating and tried to trap Yu Qiuping to death. Every move in this
, all came directly to Yu Qiuping's life. He valued Yu Qiuping's life more important than Kii and even Shikoku.
"A man who does dirty things hidden in the darkness, and he is probably the strongest one in the world. His only obsession is to take His Highness's life." Amano Kagetoku stood up slowly, stood in front of Yu Qiuping, and stared at him.
Zhu Yu Qiuping said, "Your Highness, is there anything more terrifying than this? All the good, righteous, and virtuous people are coming at you, making it impossible to guard against them. If you miss once, you will die."
The crow on Amano Jingde's shoulder wailed twice and stared at Yu Qiuping with its dim yellow eyes, as if looking at a person who would die sooner or later, which made Yu Qiuping feel a chill.
"There is only one way left to save His Highness's life." Amano Kagetoku took a deep breath, with a sad and cruel look in his eyes, "I will do whatever it takes to get rid of Miyoshi Yoshihide, get rid of that
Someone who wants to kill His Highness. Without him, the Sanhao family is no match for me in the darkness, and I can protect Your Highness."
"For a period of time from now on, Your Highness, please suspend all my tasks. I will do nothing but kill Miyoshi Yixian."
·
Amano Keitoku really wanted to kill Miyoshi Yoshihide without any distractions. After reporting to Yu Qiuping, he left the castle tower before the meeting ended. It seemed that the plot to kill Miyoshi Yoshihide was urgent.
"Your Highness, maybe while we are chatting, Miyoshi Yoshiken is setting up a trap to kill you again. How can I have time to delay?" After Amano Keitoku left these words, he left directly.
"Forget it, let Quanbei go." Yu Qiupei nodded solemnly, then adjusted his sitting posture and looked at Takenaka Shigeharu, "Hanbei, how is the training work going?"
"A large number of soldiers have been trained in the new barracks, which is enough to make up for the loss of the five reserve units this time. We have also expanded the cavalry and expanded the cavalry establishment to a reserve unit with three companies. Please give me your name, Your Highness,
Give me the team flag." Takenaka Shigeharu followed the usual practice and left the decision of the team name and flag to Yu Qiuping, "But they still need more training. Wall cavalry charge cannot be practiced in a short time."
"Wall cavalry... let's call it Bronze Wall Preparation. As for the flag, a copper wall is good." Yu Qiuping chose the Hongye Cavalry's signature wall cavalry charge as the name and flag of the reserve team to commemorate the three days that made the Red Leaf Cavalry famous all over the world.
Town war.
"How is the plan for the special forces you were trained before?" Yu Qiuping picked up the tea and took a sip, but found that the tea was a bit hot and not easy to drink directly, so he blew on the water.
"Just like His Highness's tea." Takenaka Shigeharu nodded slightly to Yu Qiuping's teacup, "It's very delicious, but it's not time to drink it yet?"
"How do you say this?" Yu Qiuping heard this and slowly put the teacup on the table. The teacup was really a bit hot to the touch.
"The new recruits in Kii who were broken up and organized into the new barracks have basically been integrated into the army. But in the special company that His Highness is going to establish, nearly half of the officers and soldiers in it are from Kii, and all of them were once enemies of His Highness.
, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment towards His Highness. If you want them to fight for His Highness on the battlefield, it may take some time." Takenaka Shigeharu paused and continued to report, "But the training regulations of the special forces
The preparation of special operations regulations, organizational structures, weapons production, and training are all being carried out in an orderly manner. Once their mentality is adjusted, they can go into battle."
"Okay, don't worry, good tea doesn't have to wait." Yu Qiuping smiled and tapped the lid of the teacup on the side. "With them, we don't have to rely solely on the precious reconnaissance ninjas of the Military Intelligence Department for our raid operations."
"Your Highness, the recruitment of ninjas in the Military Intelligence Department is also in progress. However, since every year, Crow will leave a group of loyal and reliable subordinates from the Military Intelligence Department, so the scale of the Military Intelligence Department cannot be expanded rapidly. But there is no way.
The matter is confidential, so we must have a trustworthy old man to join us." Sanada Masayuki didn't seem to be too dissatisfied with Amano Keitoku for leaving his capable subordinates. In fact, Crow Energy has developed so fast over the years,
It all depends on the continuous blood supply from the Military Intelligence Division.
"In addition, I have not fully understood the use of business for penetration that His Highness mentioned before, and I am currently discussing with my subordinates how to carry it out."
"It's not urgent. I told you, don't worry about waiting for good tea." Yu Qiuping waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Yihei, our iron cock butler, how is our income and expenditure recently?" Yu Qiupei said while looking at Sena Ujiyoshi's face - he could tell the recent situation from Sena Ujiyoshi's expression.
Financial situation. If he has made a lot recently, Sena Uji will be visibly radiant. But if he has been unable to make ends meet recently, he will put on a stinky face as if everyone owes him money, and he can't wait to use the word "unhappy"
It's written on the face.
But now, his face looks pretty good.
"It has been good recently. Every year, the tax paid by the Congress boss is more than ten times more than the agricultural tax. But this time, the Congress boss has won another big deal in Tosa, and it is estimated that the income in the next few years will be quite good. Our Mitsubishi Caravan
I also make a lot of money, so Your Highness doesn’t need to worry about this." Sena Shiyoshi replied with a smile on his face, "The Military Industry Department has also improved its technology a lot recently, and has saved a lot of money on raw materials."
"That's great, let's invest the extra money in ship construction!" Yu Qiuping immediately suggested excitedly after hearing that the financial situation was so good.
"What did you say, Momiji?" Sena Shiyoshi was stunned when he heard the words, and the smile on his face quickly solidified, and then turned into a fierce and disgusting face, "Do you know how much money this navy has spent? Those ships
Each battleship has 11 guns. Do you know how much it costs? Every year, the money spent on the navy is spent like water. What is the result? Isn’t it impossible to defeat the Awaji Navy? It also traps you.
Tosa? You asked me to invest money, but there is no way?"
"Oh no! Listen to my explanation!" Yu Qiupei felt a headache when he saw Seina Shiyi entering this state, "It's just because we can't defeat it that we continue to invest money in building ships. Sooner or later we will dominate the Seto Inland Sea.
.If we can control the water routes of the Seto Inland Sea, how much income can we increase every year for the bosses! Don’t you have any idea? Not only the distant ones, but also the nearby ones, we have to hurry up! Mr. Hashiba made a surprise attack on Awaji to save us, now
The Awaji Navy returned to rescue him, but he is trapped on Awaji Island and needs our navy to rescue him!"
Uakiuhei was talking about the next mission of the Momiji Army. After the Miyoshi Army withdrew from Tosa, most of the troops had been disbanded for the autumn harvest. The Awaji Navy carried the Sanuki people to Awaji Island to land, and at the same time the Awaji Navy turned around.
Attack the merchant ships brought by Hashiba Hideyoshi. Those merchant ships naturally dispersed, and Hashiba Hideyoshi was also trapped on Awaji Island. After a brief confrontation with Juga Ichitomi, their troops were defeated by Juga Ichitomi and were defeated.
They were forced to lift the siege of Sumoto Castle and retreated to the city north of Awaji Island. They are now holding on to wait for help. The only thing in the nearby waters that can save them is the Momiji Fleet.
"I know, I know. One of the three battleships under construction will be equipped with artillery and can go to sea soon. Of the 10 cruisers, 6 can be completed. Of the 30 destroyers, nearly 20 can be put into use.
. And according to your instructions, a group of small ships were urgently built. The construction of more ships, including a giant ship that is even bigger than the current battleships, is also being planned and prepared." Sena Shiyoshi said impatiently.
He waved his hand and said, "Let Itami-sama take the sailors to lead the ship. Hurry up and train and go to sea to drive away the Awaji navy. Otherwise, Sakai Town and Kishiwada Port will be noisy every day, and doing business will not be happy."
"Don't worry, Kang Qing promised me that as long as he has this fleet, he will never lose again."
