A map of Izumo was slowly unfolded, and Duan Yu waved his hand and a dagger was nailed to a coastline in the East Country: "Our goal this time is here!"

Everyone leaned forward, and Ye Zhiyu couldn't help but murmur: "Yuejiyama Castle? Miyamoto's family?"

"Yes, this family is a relative of the Ping family. It has 300,000 stones and is located in the rear. The most important thing is that it has a port!"

Duan Yu nodded and said.

Next, Ye Zhiyu explained it carefully, so that everyone could know the strength of the Miyamoto family.

According to the mobilization ability of Izumo Daimai Monishi, it is roughly estimated that this family can mobilize 7,500 military forces at the limit.

Of course, in fact, if you do this, it will inevitably lead to a lack of strong labor and abandonment of farmland.

Moreover, even though the Miyamoto family was located in the rear and was not affected by the war, if the Fujiwara family wanted to fight it, they could only break Hirano Castle in addition to sea routes. However, they must support the main family's war. Regardless of the last defeat, this time the head of the family summoned another 4,000 troops and still had the remaining samurai to go to the front line of Kyoto for reinforcements.

It can be said that the defenses inside the vassal have become empty.

"I don't understand!"

Aquarius looked at the long coastline: "Why did the Fujiwara family not expect to organize the navy and harass the rear of the Hei family when they advanced?"

"This is because Izumo Navy... No, Izumo basically has no real navy organization. There are only the kind of people like the Kaino family who make a living by shipping, or they are simply pirates! If there are 500 people, they dare to call the army. To truly integrate and form thousands or even tens of thousands of navy troops, they must summon daimyo from all over the world, force them to offer people and ships, and blackmail merchants. Perhaps the Regent Pingyuan Mori could do it before the chaos, but it was difficult for both sides to do this at this time..."

Ye Zhiyu shrugged: "And the Fujiwara family and the Hei family have also noticed this. The defenses of each port are quite strict, and small-scale pirate attacks cannot hurt them at all..."

"And even if many elite troops are drawn to the front, there should be a force of 1,500 people in Yuejianshan City at this time... Even if a small group of pirates land, even if the Hinano family is full of their nests, they will be knocked back to the sea."

Duan Yu continued.

"So, this is our chance?"

Qin Feiyu showed a hideous smile: "The name of 300,000 stones is quite good. We should rob the rich and help the poor!"

"If we can wipe out the Miyamoto family and slash the Hei family's rear, I guess the Fujiwara family governor can't say anything, right?"

But Tadajiro Ogawa has a typical Izumo thinking. After thinking about it, he agreed very much.

It is very stupid to send the soldiers you have worked hard to train to others for their lives.

Duan Yu's Yunakashima is not under the control of the Fujiwara family, so the fool did this.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of benefits is what a qualified leader should do.

"It can be done, but it must be fast!"

Qin Feiyu studied it again: "If it is delayed for a long time and the support of several nearby Daming companies, we may not have enough troops to resist..."

"Don't worry, Izumo's elite soldiers and generals are all on the Kyoto line. At this time, I really don't believe that they have any trump cards behind them..."

Duan Yu laughed: "Even if there is, he will inevitably fall under the spear of the dragon and snake elite soldiers! Flying fish, it will be up to you at that time."

"Here!"

Qin Feiyu agreed loudly, and his fighting spirit was rising.

...

Yuejianshan City.

The major names of Izumo are divided, similar to the medieval period in Europe.

Therefore, every daimyo likes to build permanent military fortresses, prove their own status, and strengthen control over nearby territories.

At this time, most of the cities and villages guarded the major traffic roads or were built along the mountain, progressing layer by layer, and were full of defense.

In the center of the city, the magnificent Tianshou Pavilion is often built, which is where Daming lives and works.

Miyamoto's head, Miyamoto's head, had already taken the army to Kyoto to support. At this time, all affairs in the vassal were handled by Miyamoto's governor.

Miyamotozo is in his twenties and is good at tea ceremony and etiquette. He has performed in Kyoto and has a high evaluation.

At the same time, he is also a samurai.

At this time, I looked down from Tianshou Pavilion and looked at the depressed scene in the city, and couldn't help but sigh: "My Ping family's hegemony... the position of the people in the world... I don't know where will it go?"

"Sir, Ninja Ape Goro asks for a meeting!"

I don’t know how long it took, but a young surname hurried in to report.

"It's Azuru Goro? Let him come in!"

Miyamoto nodded. Not long after, a ninja wearing a black tights and a masked face walked in quickly and saluted respectfully: "Sir, our port was attacked by unknown pirates!"

"Pirates? Are there many people?"

Miyamoto Zo couldn't help but sit up straight.

In this vassal state, there is only one port. Although there are not many merchants and few people, it is also an important source of wealth.

"There are three boats, nearly one hundred and fifty people!"

Zungoro said in a deep voice: "Lord Sasaki, who is stationed in the port, cannot be attacked and has escaped. I will ask for help!"

"The samurai under Sasaki was drawn ten people. At this time, there were only five samurai, and there were more than thirty, so it was okay to barely maintain the order of the port. It would be too difficult for him to expel the pirates..."

Miyamotozo also knew a certain situation and understood that Sasaki should not be blamed. What we would like to discuss next is how to send troops to attack the pirates.

He immediately stood up and ordered: "Prince Ito and Shibata Tojiro come here!"

Ito Priest is the lord of a shrine in the vassal state where the power of the Qinghai Kingdom was worshipped. He once traveled around Izumo and had a wide range of knowledge. He has always been a consultant and think tank for Miyamoto Makoto. At this time, he stayed here to assist the young master in governing the territory.

Shibata Tojiro is also an excellent samurai, proficient in military tactics and strategies.

Not long after, both of them arrived. Ito Prieste was wearing a white dress and had a white face without beard. Shibata Tojiro was a military general in his thirties with a black and red face. As soon as he came in, he shouted: "Do you want to fight against the pirates? Just give me one hundred people, and I can drive those one hundred and fifty people into the sea!"

Seeing this scene, Miyamoto frowned and felt a little displeased.

Such a martial family is really too domineering.

"Tokjiro, be calm and don't be impatient. Let's hear what Azugoro said first..."

Master Ito is in his fifties and acts sternly. He first sits cross-legged in a solemn way, and then looks at Azugoro.

"Yes, sir!"

Azugoro's jawhead said the matter again.

"Do you think the port can satisfy the pirates?" After hearing this, Master Ito raised his eyebrows lightly.

"I'm afraid not, because of the war, the port trade is depressed... While I left, the pirates were already migrating their residents..."

Azugoro said with a pause.

"If you say so, does the other party intend to continue to go deeper into our territory?" There was a hint of unfathomable look in the dark eyes of the priest Ito.

"It's very likely! So Lord Sasaki ordered me to ask for help!"

...

"Prince Ito, what did you see?"

Miyamotozo asked solemnly.

"The 100-man pirate advances, and the subsequent future is unknown, and it is very likely to be a trap!" said Lord Ito, "My God has given me enlightenment."

"Can it be... it's the Western Navy?" Miyamoto Zang suddenly felt a little confident: "Hino family? Or Tamha Yunzhong? The big merchant Sojin? Or maybe join forces?"

"I think it may be one or two, with about a thousand military power!"

The Priest Ito said, "Therefore... they disguised themselves as pirates and lured our main force to attack! There were only 1,300 people in our family at this time. If they were sure, they would directly enter Yuejianshan City. They would not want to use this method, so there would not be too many people."

"I am really worthy of being Lord Ito..." Torijiro said with emotion: "If you say this, the enemy's conspiracy is like before our eyes."

"If that's the case, what if we just stick to the Castle of Tsukimiyayama?" asked Miyamotozo.

"I'm afraid this won't work. As a vassal lord, you must protect your people... If those pirates find that we are defending the city, they will definitely rob them all in scattered! This will be a huge damage to the majesty and reputation of the Miyamoto family!"

The priest Ito advised him.

"Yes... Although the vassal lord has the power to live and kill the people, in the face of foreign forces, he must also protect his own people, otherwise he will inevitably be abandoned!"

Miyamotozo murmured, having a deep understanding of this point: "What should I do?"

"There are still several powerful people and powerful people in this vassal, and they can be mobilized to send troops..."

Ito Priest said, "There is enough to keep a thousand soldiers in the city to ensure that our formation is not lost. Tojiro can bring 300 people to join forces to form a crusade army... The territory of the Haki family is next to the port. I think they will definitely respond actively. At that time, a thousand people will be gathered and pushed forward with the force of mountains. If they are just ordinary pirates, they will definitely escape when the wind is gone. Even if they are the Western Navy, they can still fight... After all, they are on land!"

The navy is good at naval battles, and the flat battle formation is not as good as the warriors.

If a thousand army fails to compete with a thousand navy and have a good geographical location, then Shibata Torijiro can directly cut off his stomach.

"Use the Haki family to mobilize the people and powerful people?"

Miyamotozo murmured, and suddenly realized something: "The family's strength is empty, so we must test their loyalty and weaken their strength?"

In this strategy, it not only involves the idea of ​​leveraging the power of other families in the territory, but also implies the idea of ​​weakening the power of other families in the territory. It is really a killing of two birds with one stone and contains deep political wisdom.

In comparison, he is indeed too immature.

"I see!"

Miyamoto took a deep breath: "Tokjiro Shibata!"

"ha!"

The warrior immediately knelt down, with a little excitement in his eyes.

"I will give you three hundred people and order you to quickly contact the Hachiki, Ota, and Makogawa families, and order each family to send troops to attack the pirates entrenched in the port!"

"Abide by the order!"

Shibata Tojiro agreed loudly, his face full of excitement and fanaticism.
