Chapter 295: Takenaka Re-governance

Although a small country in Hida, the stone is no more than 38,000 shi, compared to 570,000 shi in the two neighboring countries in the north and south, such as 570,000 shi in Mino, and 400,000 shi in Viet Nam, even less than one-tenth of the other side.

However, although Hida country is said to be a remote country and its people are poor, it has to be said that this place is rich in minerals.

In addition to the famous Shengang Silver Mountain, two copper mines, one gold mountain, one silver mountain, and one gold and silver mountain were also discovered here after the Warring States period.

This amount of mineral deposits is distributed to everyone, which is very amazing.

Li Xiao bargained from the Neijima family, and after a round of bargaining, he took down the copper mine located in the inner island family at a price of one thousand two hundred guan per year.

Anyway, this amount of money is not worth mentioning compared to the 20,000 yuan that Li Xiao knocked on the inner island family at the beginning.

However, Uchishima Shiri did not feel at a disadvantage. The amount of copper mined by him is limited, and there are always a lot of copper mines in Japan, so the price of copper ore has been kept low.

But the significance of this copper mine to Li Xiao is different. Rui Costa’s bronze cannon requires a lot of bronze, especially this time Li Xiao asked him to build a larger caliber mortar and a six-pounder direct-fire cannon.

Rui Costa, a pure amateur player, failed several times and consumed Li Xiao's manpower and material resources.

But Rui Costa didn't care at all about it. Seeing his appearance, he almost blurted out to Li Xiao, our lord, it's not bad for money.

Li Xiao was helpless about this, but he would immediately set a deadline for Rui Costa to make at least two six-pound direct-fire guns before March next year.

That's right, the purpose of Li Xiao's deadline for Rui Costa is to rush out the direct guns to participate in the siege of Gujo Hachiman Castle next year.

Different from Guiyun City, although Guiyun City is dangerous and the roads are difficult and dangerous, it is ultimately a small city, at best it is a city of 300 people stationed in the inner island.

However, Li Xiaoneng used seven mortar cannons to attack the city in one go, mainly because the opponent hadn't seen this kind of big-tube weapon. So I surrendered under deterrence.

But Gujo Hachiman Castle is different. This city is a newly built city, which was built not far away by Endo Morisuki in order to capture Toden Mountain Castle.

Later, the main city of Endo's family has undergone several years of maintenance and reinforcement. Although it is not as difficult and dangerous as Returning to Cloud City, the scale of the city is far better than that of Returning Cloud City.

In addition, his sister Koji Rai Tsuna was also in this city. During the battle at Tianshin Mountain, he suffered a great loss from his own mortar, and his father and sister Koji Ryori was shot to death by the mortar.

So it is impossible not to take precautions against Li Xiao's big shot.

If Li Xiao wants to conquer this city, he can’t expect to use a big tube to bombard it and take it. As for the purpose of Li Xiao’s two six-pounder direct-fire guns built by Rui Costa, in addition to being used in field battles, they can also be used for direct bombardment. City gate.

The wooden gates were broken and durable enough under the bombardment of six-pound artillery.

As for the larger-caliber mortars, I didn’t think about it for the time being. Li Xiao mainly considered the Hida mountain roads. The large-caliber mortars were not suitable for transportation on the mountain roads. Even if they barely arrived, the siege was early. It's over.

Thinking of the inconvenience of Hida's journey, Li Xiao frowned again. This time sending troops to Meino was different from fighting in Hida's country. In a sense, it was ‘going abroad’ to conquer.

For such mid-range operations, the first consideration is not the number of military forces, but logistics support must be the first consideration.

Before, Li Xiao only fought against the tyrants in Hida. The so-called combat distance was only half a day's journey.

At that time, the so-called logistics was the daily ten-day rice dumplings on the body, and the rest of the materials were handled by the small lotus team.

But this time when entering Mino and going to Hachiman Castle, Li Xiao estimated that at least two thousand troops would be dispatched before he could be sure to bring the Endo family back. Therefore, it was a big problem for Li Xiao to be responsible for the logistics of two thousand troops.

The inconvenience of the Hida Mountain Road greatly restricted Li Xiao's mobilization of large-scale military forces in and out of Mino.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to lay down Gujo Hachiman Castle in Mino as a bridgehead for military transfer and supply.

After discussing with the Uchijima family for a while, Li Xiao decided to hand it over to him, and the three Hida lords, Nabeyama and Hirose, were responsible.

Uchijima’s Li hesitated for a while, and asked Li Xiao why he didn’t hand it over to Machang Changfang. Li Xiao explained that Machang Changfang had a more important task to do, so he appointed him to do this.

Uchijima only agreed after listening.

At the same time, Li Xiao prepared to wait for the beginning of the spring next year, and ordered the sister Koro Takatsuna to speed up the construction of Takayama Castle and the Hida Road to realize the material transfer from the North Hida to the South Hida.

After Li Xiao and Uchijima's talks were over, it was dawn.

Uchijima said goodbye and went back to rest.

And Li Xiao reorganized what he had just explained to Uchijima Shiri, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he was relieved.

When Li Xiao got up, he heard someone shouting outside the Tianshou Pavilion: "It's snowing, it's snowing."

Suddenly the whistling sound of the wind came from outside this window.

Li Xiao walked to the window sill and saw Hida once gray and white among the mangled mountains, with snow all over the sky, and fine snow powder falling from the sky.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand out of the window to hold a piece of snow, and the heat in his hand instantly melted the snow into water.

"It's winter in a blink of an eye. This year's Fida's first snowfall." Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh, thinking of Ranwen Novel.com at this time three years ago. Oka Castle was built.

And three years later, he was looking at the snow scene in Yingdong City, and the whole Hida was already under his feet.

Then in a blink of an eye, if another year passes, next year will be the ten years of Yonglu, 1567 AD, which will determine the watershed of the pattern.

The troubled times of the Warring States that lasted for nearly a hundred years, by this moment, the situation has gradually become clear.

Several big names who hope to rule the world will continue to swallow the small forces around them, and if they grow stronger, they will finally decide the ultimate world person between each other.

And the fate of the Xiaohao clan is not for devouring, but for subordination.

The situation of the world will enter the Azuchi-Momoyama era, which is like Dunsheng in history, and annihilated after a brief period of prosperity, or it may be an unprecedented new era.

Li Xiaoyuan looked at the snow scene, and at this moment saw a group of people slowly approaching Shengang City from a distance.

There are only a dozen people in this pedestrian, and there is a two people carrying shoulders in the middle. After encountering the wind and snow, the speed slowed down even more.

But Jian Yu stopped, and one person walked down from Jian Yu.

After Li Xiao saw it clearly, he looked happy, and the other party was Yusada Obata.

The opponent raised his sleeves to block the snow, raised his head and looked into the castle tower.

Li Xiao and Oba Yuzheng looked at each other and smiled.

Mino country, northern city.

The same heavy snow ~lightnovelpub.net~ also quietly fell on the head of the city.

Ando, ​​the lord of the northern city, stayed there, picked up the long chopsticks with one hand, and gently drew the charcoal in the firepit.

The stove on the firepit was holding the stove at the moment, and the boiling water was beeping.

At this moment, under the head of Ando's guard, there are two people sitting cross-legged, these two people are similar in appearance, it can be seen that they are a pair of brothers.

The younger person, holding a folding fan, stared at the charcoal in the stove, showing a thoughtful look.

But his older brother covered his mouth with a silk paw in his hand, coughing constantly.

At this time, Ando Mamoru raised his head to look at his older brother, and asked: "Re-rule, this time the new general of the Takeda family who is occupying a new country of Hida, Lee Tamma Shou invited you to leave the Takeda family. How did you plan? ?"
