Chapter 432 Iwami Silver Mine

Relying on strong ships and powerful guns, it rages on the coast of other countries, and even directly sends troops to invade the interior of other countries. This practice is exactly the same as that of Western countries in later generations. Although Zhou Zhong hates Western European countries very much,

But he now unknowingly learned the practices of Western countries and released this pain on the countries within the Ming Dynasty in advance.

Shen Zhou led a fleet to block the Hatsuma Strait in Japan, directly cut off the connection between Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, and then shelled the imperial courts along the coast of the Ouchi clan, using this method to force Yoshihiko Ouchi to ced the Ishimi Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty.

This approach is a typical European robber practice in later generations. Now Shen Zhou is doing it with confidence. He is extremely tough when negotiating with Yoshihiko Ouchi, without any concessions, forcing the other party to agree to the conditions he proposed.

Faced with Shen Zhou's arrogant behavior, Yoshihiro Ouchi was a traitor, but he had no choice but to do anything. Finally, after measuring the gains and losses for a long time, he finally agreed to Shen Zhou's arrogant request and admitted that Ishimi's country was ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

, In the future, the Ouchi clan will never step into Ishimiguo again.

With the promise of Yoshihiko Ouchi, Shin-Zhou was also a cheerful person. He immediately took the fleet away from the Xiaguan Strait. A few months later, Zhou Chong, who received the news, sent a formal official to take over Ishimiko's management.

On the one hand, he signed a formal treaty with Ouchi Yoshihiko. In addition to the previous request to ced Ishimiguo, the treaty also put forward many conditions, such as Ouchi Yoshihiko liberated the maritime ban and allowed the Ming merchant ships to be in his territory.

The Ming Dynasty also gave Yoshihiko Yoshihiko a trade right. The goods transported to Yoshihiko Yoshiko at the Ming Dynasty had priority refusal, and so on.

The place where the treaty was signed was strongly requested by Zhou Chong to sign on a ship in the Xiaguan Strait. Then he was named the "Xiaguan Treaty" with a bad taste. But to be honest, the entire Xiaguan Treaty was not only for Yoshihiko Ouchi to cede the stone.

Seeing that the country is somewhat unequal, other treaties also have some benefits for Yoshihiko Ouchi, such as the trade rights with the Ming Dynasty, which is the power that all the Japanese daimyos want to seize. In the past, Zhou Chong only had to be with Ashikaga Ikki

Now there is one more Da Nei Yixing. This treaty alone can allow Da Nei Yixing to accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time. This is definitely a huge deal for Da Nei Yixing who is fighting everywhere.

Good news, which made him no longer so repulsive to the cedes Ishimiko.

After signing the Treaty of Xiaguan, Shi Jianguo finally fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Na, who had just found two gold mines in Nanyang, was urgently recalled, and then Zhou Chong personally explained to him the Japanese silver mine.

After estimating the output, Xu Na immediately took a group of students to Ishimiguo, searching for silver mines all over the mountains.

As one of the largest silver mines in Asia, and with the guidance of Zhou Chong, the cheater, Yusuna soon found a large mine in the scattered silver mines in the Omori area. This mine is silver.

, Copper-companied mines. Among them, silver reserves are very considerable, at least the entire Ming Dynasty could not find such a large silver mine. It was also easier to mine. This discovery made Zhou Chong ecstatic and he stepped up the dispatch of troops and officials to Shi Jianguo.

, organize silver mine mining work.

The mining of silver mines is both troublesome and simple. Zhou Chong has money and craftsmen who understand technology, but the only thing he lacks is mining miners. However, this is not a problem. There are also many Japanese people in Shijian Kingdom.

There are also many miners in some small silver mines around. Now all the silver mines in the Ishimi area are owned by the Ming Dynasty. Those miners are naturally from the Ming Dynasty. In addition, they can also be recruited from the outside world. After all, Japanese people in the Ishimi area cannot eat.

There are quite a few. As long as they manage food in the mine, many Japanese people will be willing to work in the mine.

However, the officials sent by Zhou Chong to the Ishimi area did not recruit miners in Ishimiguo nearby, but instead sent people to North Korea to recruit tens of thousands of North Korean workers to Japan to explore. The reason for this was to reduce the North Korean side.

The number of local people, and the Ishimi Kingdom is the territory of the Japanese after all. If there are only Japanese people, it will not be conducive to rule. Therefore, those officials who have learned bad things with Zhou Chong thought of this sand-stuffing method and moved a large number of Koreans to

When Ishimi worked, the Koreans originally hated the Japanese. Now that they were on the territory of the Japanese, the two gangs would definitely have conflicts. By then, the Ming Dynasty would sit in the seat of the arbitrator, so it would naturally be much easier to manage.

Although Zhou Chong didn't want others to know about Shi Jian's discovery of the big silver mine, Shi Jian Kingdom was in the territory of Japan after all, and it was full of Japanese people around him. It was impossible to keep it secret, so the news spread quickly.

As a result, Yoshihiko Ouchi regretted it and wanted to break the contract but didn't dare. In the end, he had to force himself to endure the anger. However, as a hero of a generation, he naturally did not give up so easily, but waited in secret.

As long as Daming reveals any flaws, he will pounce on him and take Shi Jianguo back.

However, compared to Yoshihiko Ouchi's patience, some Japanese daimyos around him were not so patient. With such great interests as the silver mine, although they knew that the Ming army was not easy to mess with, they still had a little fantasy.

Especially Yoshihiko Ouchi's old rival Niko, this scheming guy also incited some daimyo behind his back. So under such circumstances, some daimyos of Japan formed a coalition of 30,000 people to attack Ishimiko.

Speaking of Nizi, this person was not a simple person to be able to go against a generation of heroes like Yoshihiko Ouchi. He occupied several small countries such as Izumo, Boqi, and Beihou. His strength was not worse than that of the Ouchi clan.

Even the invitation of Ouchi Yoshihiko to go to Kyoto to help Hosokawa Takako, but after the war he did not receive the corresponding reward, which made Niko long-lastingly hold a grudge against Ouchi Yoshihiko, so he planned to do so for the Ouchi family.

The war, but unfortunately he was still a little different when facing Yoshihiro Ouchi. He was defeated in one battle, and even his son died on the battlefield, which made the Nizi and Ouchi confusing.

Revenge.

Niko was good at planning for a long time, and he always made plans before doing things. This time, Niko was the same for attacking Ishimi Kingdom occupied by the Ming Dynasty. For example, although he instigated those daimyos to unite to attack Ishimi, he actually

But he did not participate, but was preparing to sit behind and watch the show. If the Daming coalition forces could defeat the Ming army, it would mean that the Ming army was just like that. He would immediately organize the army to attack Shimiya and defeat other competitors to exclusively occupy Shimiya.

If the Ming army was really as powerful as the legendary one, then he would immediately send people to contact the Ming people and take the initiative to make friends with them. After all, he also wanted to get some benefits from the trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Shen Zhou was almost blinded by the situation in the western part of Kyushu Island. Naturally, he didn't know that Nizi was supported by these Japanese Daming coalition forces for a long time, and he didn't even know who Nizi was. But it didn't matter, he had already been

It was expected that as long as the news of the silver mine was spread, it would definitely attract some people's covetousness, so he had already prepared for the war. For example, when recruiting workers from North Korea, he also mobilized a group of garrisons from North Korea.

Ming army in North Korea.

The troops stationed in North Korea were selected from the Ming border troops. After all, after North Korea is incompatible, some problems will definitely arise, and may even trigger some rebellions. Therefore, a group of powerful troops must be suppressed, and the border troops are far away from North Korea.

This is also recently, so Zhengde mobilized some border troops from the Liaodong area to enter North Korea. These border troops have been fighting against grassland people all year round, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Beijing camp. It is naturally no problem to suppress North Korea.

Zhou Chong's hands are all naval, and the Marine Corps is also being formed and cannot be used for the time being. So whenever he encounters such a land war, he can only ask Zhengde for help, so the North Korean garrison troops are

Zhengde was temporarily transferred to Shenzhou to help him guard Shimiya Kingdom. After all, Zhengde was very envious of Shimiya's silver mine. If the output in the future increases, he would no longer have to worry about lack of money.

In fact, Shenzhou's navy can also be used for land warfare. For example, most of the navy on the ship are equipped with weapons such as bows and arrows, muskets, especially the equipment rate of muskets is much higher than that of the border troops, and the artillery on the ship is also

It can be temporarily unloaded, so the navy's combat effectiveness on land is actually not worse than that of the border troops.

However, the reason why Zhou Chong asked Zhengde for help and then introduced the border army into the guards of Shi Jianguo was actually because he was awakened by Wang Shouren before, which was to reduce the court, especially Zhengde's suspicion of him. Although Zhengde was heartless, he was heartless.

The guy with lungs is Zhou Chong's brother, but Zhengde is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. If Zhou Chong's strength to develop overseas is too strong and he is not controlled by the court, even if Zhou Chong has no intention of rebellion at that time,

I'm afraid it will also attract suspicion from the court, so after Wang Shouren woke him up, Zhou Chong would be careful everywhere. Even if he occupied Ishimiya, the first thing he thought of was to introduce the power of the court, so that he would not need it.

I was worried about the suspicion of the court.

The combat power of the border troops is naturally not a puff, not to mention that those Daming who were encouraged by Nizi for a long time are not too powerful forces, so although the coalition they formed reached 30,000, they were a group of mobs that were pieced together.

Even after the alliance, the combat effectiveness not only did not increase, but also decreased. After all, the battle between several daimyos for the control of the army was enough to minimize the combat effectiveness of the entire coalition.

It was also under this situation that the Japanese coalition forces had an offensive and defensive battle with the Ming army under Yitian City. Originally, the generals of the border army wanted to fight against the Japanese, but Shen Zhou felt that it was unnecessary and only needed to use the walls of Yitian City.
