The Kudo family now has 7,400 people, of which 400 people are stationed in Mogu City. The original Shima Katsuma led by Shima Katsuma in Tango Wakasa. In addition, the 3,500 people I brought to suppress bandits this time, 2,500 people, and more than half of the Kudo family's combat power gathered on the narrow and barren land of Tango Wakasa.

Takenaka Half-Soldier assigned tasks to everyone in Miyazu Castle. ‘The encirclement and suppression of the coastal areas on the left wing was led by Katsumashima, with one thousand foot and three hundred peasant soldiers. The encirclement and suppression of the mountain forest areas on the right wing was led by Katsumashima, with one thousand foot and five hundred peasant soldiers. The middle wing was arranged by Katsumashima, with one thousand foot and four hundred peasant soldiers…’

Speaking of this, I said, "I will lead the team in the middle route, and our three troops will advance in a horn shape and support each other. Miyazu Castle is temporarily led by Kinson Nagato and Takenaka Half-Benwei, leading the One Thousand Foots and One Thousand Peasants. The logistics supply for this encirclement and suppression operation depends on the two adults."

‘Hi.’

I continued, 'This time the encirclement of the Danhou Ruosa Kingdom was not only Danhou. Danbo's side stationed heavy troops on several important roads and passes on the Danhou border. I am sure to pacify Danhou Ruosa Kingdom this time. Once, I will let the Wansai Kingdom stabilize for 30 years. This time, I will not go back to Hachikang to celebrate the New Year.'

‘Hi.’

Before sending troops, I specifically consulted Shiga Katsumoto, "How about Shiga's Kiss I sent last time?"

Shima Katsumoto said to the truth, "He is very good at learning, has an offensive spirit, and is an excellent samurai."

‘Okay, transfer him to the vanguard team this time. Practice more.’

‘Yes. Your Highness.’

During the encirclement and suppression period, frequent and intensive small-scale battles were mainly carried out in the search troops on both wings. The Central Army's mission was mainly to support and support the two wings, and it was also to prevent the Maori family's naval army from invading again.

Shiga's fellow soldier has already replaced the cannons. The days when he was commanding twenty peasants had long passed. Now he has twenty iron cannons armed to his teeth. The standard configuration of the Kudo family is one iron cannon, one rib is one, one tie, and one three-foot short gun (injected in the iron cannon barrel as a long spear in close combat).

Feeling someone in front of the woods, Shiga Kiji shouted, "Lightning." There was a panic on the opposite side, and Shiga Kiji shouted, "A team opened fire." The sound of eleven iron cannons sounded at the same time, and a scream and a chaotic running sound of trampling on the branches came from the opposite side. After the first team of ten people reloaded the bullets, Shiga Kiji took people to the scene to check. The unlucky ghost left on the ground got two lead balls, and one shot was cut off and died. Seeing that it should be a rebel or bandit composed of the Chinese people.

Shiga Kiji carefully looked at the footprints on the ground and analyzed, "There are fifteen people on the other side, and they ran into two groups. Kojiro set off a green firework and called a team of reinforcements to come. Then we will chase them separately."

Kojiro ran out of the forest and lit firecrackers. A team of iron cannons and spears mixed football team rushed to help. Kojiro heard footsteps behind the tree and shouted, "Lightning."

The other party's foot responded with a light head, "Thunder. Don't be nervous if you are yourself."

After the two teams gathered, dozens of people started a hide-and-seek game in the woods with their lives as the price. These Chinese people who were forced into the jungle and ended their way to the end of the jungle and knew that there were more things to wait outside when they left the forest. The only choice they could choose now was to continue to hide-and-seek with the search team in the woods or go out to die.

After a day and night of pursuit, Shiga's team harvested ten more heads, which was mainly attributed to Shiga's ability to always judge the number, direction and general time of departure from the footprints left by the enemy. The several traps carefully arranged by the enemy were also seen through by Shiga's people without exception.

As winter goes and spring comes, the encirclement and suppression of the rebels in Wakasa has come to an end. In order to prevent the water thief, the new cities in Takahama and Kohama have also begun to take shape.

In the second year of Renping, in the spring, Tsukiga, Yihangshan. A small town that can accommodate 500 people rose from here.

I summoned the first meritorious service in this newly built small town. "Shiga, this time you are the first meritorious service in the first meritorious service in the encirclement and suppression, and have decided to promote you to the general of the football team."

‘Thank you for your grace.’

‘It’s nothing, it’s worth it. This time, the encirclement and suppression of nearly 1,000 enemies were wiped out, and 127 people died at the hands of the team you led. If you don’t promote you, I’m afraid there will be complaints among the retainers. The reward fief has been decided, and there are two small villages near Dajiang Village, namely Dajiang Gaocun and Dajiang Nakam Village, with a total of 1,500 stones.’ I pointed out the two villages of Shiga on the map.

‘Shiga’s relatives serve His Highness as a ronin, and it is hard to repay this kindness even if the Kudo family is crushed to pieces.’

‘I won’t say much about it. I know you want to be the lord of a city. Now my family has built three new small cities in Wakasa. Three people with special combat experience need to serve as the lords to prevent the invasion of water thieves. You can choose one between Kohama and Atsuga. However, usually you only have 100 iron artillery soldiers and 100 spearmen as subordinates, and you can recruit 300 peasant soldiers for training in winter and summer.’

Shiga thought for a while, 'Your Highness, I decided to choose the city of Yigushan.'

‘This is the farthest city from your fief, have you figured it out?’

Shiga bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have figured it out. Yigushan is close to Tsubaki Port, with convenient transportation and developed commerce. It is also the top priority in Wakasa's defense."

‘Just think it through. The city doesn’t have a name yet, you can think of one.”

‘Then it’s better to call Shiga Castle.’ For a moment, Shiga’s descendants couldn’t think of any good names, so they simply named them by their predecessors.

I stroked my palm and said, "Okay, I'll give you three words." The Miaozi on the side saw that I was going to write and prepared the four treasures of the study immediately. I picked up my pen and focused for a while, and wrote the three big words "Tiangongge" on the white roll of paper.

Shiga's relative took the white book and was stunned, 'Your Highness, is this?'

'The people who can only be defended by heaven cannot defend the city. The people who can only be captured by heaven cannot conquer the city. You understand.' The difference between Tianshou Pavilion and Tianshou Pavilion is here, but unfortunately few people understand it.

‘I understand, don’t worry, your highness, as long as Shiga’s relatives are there in one breath, Shiga Castle will never be captured.’

‘It’s very good, it’s rare that you have this kind of mental preparation, so I feel relieved.’
