Four hundred and sixtieth chapters higher than the wheel
Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Chu Yi smiled slightly and said: "In that case, everyone might as well go and see what treasures are hidden in the Danuchi clan's treasure house!"
The existence of the Ouchi clan's treasure house may be a secret to outsiders, but to some members of the Ouchi clan it is nothing.
The most indispensable thing in this world is the existence of greed for life and fear of death. Among the people of the Ouchi clan, there are many people who are willing to do anything to survive.
Therefore, naturally there are people willing to reveal the location of the Ouchi clan's treasure house.
The Ouchi clan's treasure house is a secret room built underground. The entire underground secret room occupies a considerable space, but the entrance is among a rockery.
When Chu Yi saw the treasure house whose entrance was hidden among the rockeries, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head. For these big families, there was almost nothing new about the treasure house. Eight out of ten of them hid it underground.
The entrance is either between the rockery or in the study room.
I saw a member of the Ouchi clan looking towards Chu Yi, Yu Dayou and others with a flattering look on his face: "My lords, the treasure house of our Ouchi clan is hidden here."
While he was talking, he stepped forward to push an inconspicuous-looking stone. Then he heard a dull sound and saw a dark hole gradually revealed between the rockery.
Seeing the entrance of the cave, several generals entered it first, and Chu Yi and others slowly approached.
After passing through a corridor that was almost several feet long, the underground space suddenly became much wider. At a glance, this underground secret room was almost hundreds of square meters in size, but it was neither too big nor too small.
In this small secret room, there are piles of large and small boxes as well as some ordnance, silk, tea, porcelain and the like.
Naturally, many people do not pay attention to the so-called ordnance, silk, tea, and porcelain. These things were all produced in the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps placed in the land of Japan, these things are hard currency comparable to gold and silver, but in the
In the eyes of Chu Yi and others, they are just ordinary top-grade ones.
What really attracted Chu Yi and others' attention was the neatly arranged boxes. There were almost hundreds of these boxes, some were large and some were small, and each one was neatly sealed.
Since it is a treasure house, gold and silver are indispensable. Needless to say, gold and silver are probably in these boxes.
Several generals stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one. The moment the first box was opened, many people's eyes lit up. It was a box of gold that had been cast into the shape of an ingot.
The golden gold ingots are neatly placed, exuding an alluring brilliance.
Boxes were opened one by one, and it can be seen that most of these boxes contain silver ingots, and a very few are gold ingots. As for other jewelry and jades, they are the least, and there is only one box.
But even so, everyone still felt a sense of silence when looking at the gold and silver jewelry among the hundreds of large and small boxes.
You must know that this is just a place about the size of a hand in a county in the Ming Dynasty. There are so many gold and silver items. Even a fool can estimate the amount of gold and silver items just by looking at them.
Millions of taels.
In the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that no county government treasury could store millions of taels of gold and silver.
Chu Yi glanced at these gold and silver jewelry, and there was no surprise on his face. Guarding such a mountain of gold and silver, it is reasonable for the Ouchi family to store so many gold and silver items in the treasure house.
It can even be said that it would be abnormal if there was not so much gold and silver.
Chu Yi glanced at the crowd calmly, and finally said to Yu Dayou: "Yu Dayou, order people to count the gold and silver property in this place and register it in a register."
Yu Dayou quickly responded.
However, it was said that Qi Jingtong led five thousand soldiers and horses directly to Iwami Silver Mountain. Ouchi Takahiro, who was stationed at Iwami Silver Mountain, was well prepared to face the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses with a tight military formation.
Although the terrain of Shijian Yinshan is not dangerous, it is still in the mountains. Once entering the mountains, the originally neat military formation will naturally become scattered.
Ouchi Takahiro was not considered mediocre within the Ouchi clan. Just looking at the formation of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses, one knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.
Unless the troops of the Ouchi clan are willing to withdraw from Iwami Ginzan, but Iwami Ginzan is the foundation of the Ouchi clan. If Iwami Ginzan is lost, even if the Ming Dynasty does not seek trouble from them, Shijian
I am afraid that the country is not far from destruction.
Seeing the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty entering the Iwami Silver Mountain, Ouchi Takahiro made a decisive decision after struggling and weighing in his mind.
Not long after Qi Jingtong led the army into the mountains, suddenly there was a cry of killing from the front, but the soldiers did not show much panic, but instead increased their vigilance one by one.
Qi Jingtong looked at the Japanese soldiers rushing out from all sides, and his face showed a bit of relief.
If these Japanese soldiers rely on the mountain to defend, they will naturally have no advantage as the party attacking the mountain. In the end, they may be able to capture Iwami Yinshan with the advantage of numbers, but the casualties may be too high.
Not too little.
Qi Jingtong may not be a famous general, but he is not a mediocre person either. He knows very well that his abilities are not outstanding among the generals. Being able to unite his troops to capture Shijian Yinshan this time is completely unparalleled.
Because Chu Yi valued him.
Although Qi Jingtong didn't know why Chu Yi, a noble man from above, looked at him differently, Chu Yi's regard for him was also a kind of pressure and motivation for Qi Jingtong. He also held a breath in his heart, hoping that his performance would be worthy of it.
Chu Yi's attention.
Now seeing Japanese soldiers fighting out all around, Qi Jingtong showed a somewhat relaxed look on his face and shouted: "Soldiers, follow my general to kill the enemy!"
As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, when facing these Japanese soldiers, he naturally had a bit of natural contempt. In addition, the comparison of the ordnance and equipment between the two sides made the Japanese soldiers look like farmers.
The Ming Dynasty side can be said to have a well-organized army and well-equipped weapons. On the other hand, the Japanese side did not even have uniform clothes, and the weapons in their hands were all kinds of, and they had all kinds of weapons.
There are all kinds of sticks, hammers and even forks. At first glance, it looks like a group of bandits coming out of the mountains.
Just after a fight, the strength of the two sides was revealed. The arrows fired by the Japanese side were sparse. Although they caused some damage to the Ming soldiers, when the Ming counterattack came, they were originally shot because of the shooting.
The Japanese soldiers who were so excited after meeting more than a dozen soldiers of the Ming Dynasty really felt the military power from the Celestial Kingdom.
Arrows poured down like a torrential rain, but in just a blink of an eye, several rounds of arrows rained down, at least thousands of arrows were shot.
It can be said that most of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed forward were shot dead at once.
The Japanese soldiers who were howling and rushing over from all sides seemed to have been strangled by someone's neck. The sound of the horn suddenly stopped. Many Japanese soldiers could not help but express their feelings when they saw their companions who were almost shot like hedgehogs.
Showing fear.
No matter in any army, those who are at the forefront are always those who dare to fight the most. If these people can often account for 10% or 20% of the total number, then such an army can be called a strong army.
Likewise, if these most brave and daring soldiers suffer heavy losses, then this army will not be far from collapse.
This applies not only to the Ming army, but also to the Japanese. The hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were shot and killed by the wave of arrows just now can be said to be the bravest soldiers among the Iwami Yinshan defenders. They charged forward and dared to
They dared to kill, but in the end, they were shot dead before they even got close. Even the dozens of people who remained were all pale.
"kill!"
Qi Jingtong shook the gun in his hand and immediately knocked away the two Japanese soldiers in front of him. The soldiers accompanying Qi Jingtong also pounced on the panicked Japanese soldiers.
One side's troops are well-organized and have an absolute advantage in numbers, while the other side's morale is low and their equipment is several levels behind. As a result, one can imagine the result.
In less than a minute, as the most courageous soldiers in the army were killed one by one, the entire Ishimi Yinshan garrison seemed to have its backbone broken, and soldiers began to drop their weapons and turn around and flee.
The phenomenon.
The appearance of deserters was a sign of defeat, one, two, as more and more soldiers lost their weapons due to fear in their hearts, and finally on the entire battlefield, almost all the soldiers turned around and fled.
The rout finally occurred.
For an army, the most terrifying thing is a rout. Once a rout occurs, even Sun Wu may not be able to reverse the situation.
Seeing this situation, Qi Jingtong was overjoyed and shot a Japanese soldier in front of him. At the same time, he let out a loud roar and chased after the fleeing soldiers.
All the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had been on the battlefield and fought with the enemy before. Naturally, they were not newcomers to the battlefield. Now that they saw the Japanese soldiers defeated, how could they not know that this was the best time to pursue the enemy?
.
In about an hour, more than 2,000 Shishi Yinshan defenders were completely wiped out. Except for almost a few hundred people who escaped due to their familiarity with the terrain, the other soldiers were either killed or captured alive on the spot.
As the steward of Iwami Ginzan, Ouchi Takahiro could be said to have been targeted by the Ming army early on. No one could escape Ouchi Takahiro.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed tens of thousands of craftsmen and slaves on Iwami Silver Mountain. Unfortunately, the winner had already been decided before these people could react to what was going on.
These craftsmen and slaves did not panic even when faced with this kind of chaos, as if they were already used to such situations.
It's normal to think about it. The Ouchi clan occupies Iwami Ginzan, and is surrounded by countries such as Izumo and Aki Province. They are all eyeing it. In order to compete for Iwami Ginzan, I don't know how many fights broke out.
He even went as far as Iwami Ginzan more than once.
Therefore, these slaves and craftsmen on the mountain have long been accustomed to this situation, so their reaction to the sudden war is very dull.
It was precisely because of this that Qi Jingtong took over the entire Iwami Yinshan very easily.
For these craftsmen and slaves, it makes no difference who occupies Iwami Silver Mountain. They all have to work in the mountains. As long as they can have a bite to eat, they don't care who they work for.
After dealing with the prisoners, Qi Jingtong looked at the pile of information about Ishimi Yinshan in front of him, with a look of horror on his face.
Even though he had known for a long time that Iwami Ginzan was a silver mountain, he was shocked when he saw the exploration information about the silver mine reserves of Iwami Ginzan listed by the craftsmen.
The Ming Dynasty had always been short of silver, and there were very few rich silver mines, but the wealth of the Shijian Yinshan silver mine was simply beyond Qi Jingtong's imagination.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qi Jingtong took a deep breath and ordered his generals to sit in Shijian Yinshan and manage the craftsmen. At the same time, Qi Jingtong took the information and went down the mountain.
Ishimi Castle
The atmosphere in Shijian City, which had changed hands, seemed very solemn. When the Japanese people in the city learned that the Ouchi clan had been destroyed by the heavenly soldiers from the Celestial Kingdom, there was no turmoil, but the Japanese people in the city seemed extremely calm.
, there is even a bit of weirdness in the calmness.
Just when the Japanese people in this city fell into a strange calm, Qi Jingtong entered Shijian City with the exploration data of Shijian Yinshan.
In the Ouchi family's manor, a group of generals gathered together, and in the hall, they saw angry looks on their faces.
One of the generals could only hear murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he said: "General Manager, as the saying goes, people who are not of our race must have different hearts. These people in the city actually use silence to fight against us. They really deserve to be killed."
"Although we have brought a large amount of grain, if there are not enough fresh vegetables, fruits, etc., the soldiers' bodies may not be able to bear it over time. However, these Japanese people hid vegetables, fruits, etc.
His heart can be killed..."
Chu Yi sat there, calmly listening to the angry words of the generals below. His eyes fell on Lu Dazhu and he smiled slightly: "General Lu, I don't know what we should do between you and me?"
Lu Dazhu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "In my opinion, these people are all people with ulterior motives, and they are potential enemies of our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. How about treating the Tatar aliens in the steppe, and the men are higher than the wheels?"
Kill them all..."
If Lu Dazhu was so murderous in the court, he would probably have attracted opposition from many civil servants. However, the people present were all murderous generals, which made all the generals nod their heads and said to Lu Dazhu.
Handled properly.
Chu Yi lightly knocked on the table. At this moment, a guard outside the door shouted: "General Qi Jingtong, please see me!"
