Shafes came over and handed Zhang Zhun a briefing.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Brigadier General Zhang took the information and carefully reviewed it.

The information in this briefing shows that in the past ten years, Shijian Yinshan's annual silver production has been close to four million taels. In ten years, it is 40 million taels. No wonder the Japanese have such silver reserves. The silver production alone is equivalent to the annual income of the Tai Warehouse of the Chongzhen Dynasty. Chongzhen's treasury income is only six or seven million taels per year.

Zhang Zhun felt the most regrettable thing about the war in Wanli for more than 20 years was that the Ming army did not force the Japanese to pay compensation. In fact, if the Ming army had this intention, it would be very likely to do it. As long as some of the Japanese army were intercepted on the Korean Peninsula, or to send more powerful cavalry to raid into Busan Port and cut off the Japanese army's retreat. Then the Ming Kingdom could discuss the compensation with Japan.

It is probably because of the face of Emperor Wanli, or the pedantic scholars and officials, who were embarrassed to make such a request. If Zhang Zhun had traveled forty years earlier and caught up with that war, he would have blackmailed all the Japanese silver into his pocket. So much silver, don’t be useless!

According to the map identified above, Zhang Zhun carefully searched and found that the degree of development of Shi Jian Yin Mountain was not very high. If we were to describe it as a percentage, the amount of silver mined in the past time should be less than 5% of the total storage. In other words, there are still 95% waiting for development.

Sado Island and Ishimiji Yinshan, these two rich places are in the hands of the Hu Ben Army. As long as they actively exploit them, it is entirely possible to ensure the income of one million taels of silver per month. Hehe, one million taels per month! In a year, it is more than one million taels, and you can do a lot of things.

In fact, Japan's silver mines are not only Ishimi Silver Mountain. Japan's silver mines are very rich. In addition to Ishimi Silver Mountain, there are also a considerable number of silver mines and gold mines. These can only be collected through trade means. As long as the trade surplus is actively maintained and a large amount of goods are dumped into the Japanese market, there is no need to worry about not being able to make these silver from Japan.

"What are you going to do about this?"

Zhang Zhun turned around and asked Shafes.

Xia Feis' intelligence agencies have many tasks. In addition to spying on intelligence information, they are also one of them. Before the special mining agency was established, Ishimi Yinshan could only hand it over to Xia Feis for temporary management. The time for temporary management depends entirely on the war in Japan and when will it end.

"All mines are temporarily closed."

Shafes said briefly.

Under the current circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the Huben Army to mine the Shijian Yinshan Mountain. In this case, it can only temporarily close production and seal all the gold and silver inside. After the Japanese war situation stabilizes, special personnel will be sent to set up special mining institutions. If necessary, the Huben Army will also station a certain number of troops in Shijian Yinshan Mountain. These will not be implemented until the war is over.

"Abe Yuki is attacking Zhou Yanyu's troops."

After pondering for a while, Shafes reported cautiously.

"Where is Masato Kaichi's troops?"

Zhang Zhun asked with concern.

From the Japanese leader party, Zhang Jun learned that Abe Yuki and Eizaki Masato were both backbones of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Every time there was a war between the shogunate, they were the two of them fighting. Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tokugawa Hidetachi were both in battle for a long time and were never afraid of war. Only when it came to Tokugawa Ieki's generation, they were a little far from the battlefield.

Abe Yuki's troops were stationed near Heian Kyo to monitor the movements of the Japanese royal family. After the Ziyi incident, Abe Yuki's troops once reached fifteen flag buildings, with a total force of more than 30,000, and were gradually weakened.

Masato Echizaki's troops were stationed in Shinno, near Edo, which was the main mobile combat force of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The total force of this unit has been maintained at more than 30,000 people all year round, and has never been reduced to less than 30,000 people. Shinno is located in the central area of ​​Japan, and can arrive quickly whether to go east or west.

According to the introduction of the Japanese royal family, Abe Yuki's troops are not the most elite. The commander of Masato Kaesaki is the most elite shogunate army. Abe Yuki's troops are mainly iron cannon foot light (musketeers). Although these foot lights have strong fighting will, strong training intensity, and the quality of grassroots officers is also quite good, in general, their firepower is relatively weak.

Masato Hiraki's troops are equipped with a considerable number of cavalry and large guns (cannons), and the firepower is more fierce. According to the information of the Japanese royal family, there are at least two artillery teams of the qinmato in the qinmato's troops. The number of artillery may exceed one hundred. If Masato Hiraki competes with Abe Yuki, Abe Yuki is not the opponent of Masato Hiraki in the long-distance cannon use.

In addition to the two of them, there is also a Sakot Sato Ryuta, who is said to have good combat effectiveness. This person is currently only a single flag book, but he controls more than a dozen other flag book books. There are rumors that this Sakot Sato Ryuta is actually Tokugawa Iemitsu's brother and the illegitimate son of Tokugawa Hidetachi. However, no one can confirm this.

Another mysterious figure is Matsui Daisuke. This person is very low-key in his behavior. Even the Japanese royal family does not know much about this person. It is estimated that this person will be a killer weapon of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Once Abe Yuki and Masato Eizaki are defeated, Matsui Daisuke will definitely appear on the battlefield as the firefighting captain.

As long as the Tiger Ben Army defeated these four people, the Tokugawa Shogunate would not have the power to fight back even if it did not collapse. The main force of the Tokugawa Shogunate's army was about 150,000. Maeda Ryota had already lost more than 10,000 people. As long as more than half of the remaining ones were annihilated, the entire shogunate army would be wiped out. At that time, Tokugawa Iemitsu would have to "retreat" obediently.

"Where are the Dutch people visiting the fleet in Hiroshima? Is there any movement?"

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully and asked with concern.

A variable in the Japanese war situation was the Dutch. From the heart, Zhang Zhun did not want the Dutch to fall too deeply in the Japanese war situation. This was not good for the Hu Ben Army. What the Hu Ben Army needs most now is time. If the Hu Ben Army fights the Dutch again in three years, Zhang Zhun's confidence will be much greater.
