In the eleventh year of Astronomical (1542), more than 5,000 soldiers from Kitakyushu set off from Monshigang in Kyushu. After two ris sea voyage, they finally arrived at Mitajiri of Zhou Fangguo.

During this voyage, Zhengliang saw the legendary Anzhai Ship for the first time. Compared with the Shuttle Ship, this kind of ship is really a giant. According to the sailors, this ship uses turtle bones, so it looks large and strong. Overall, the ship is set up behind it, divided into three floors, equipped with small oars and 80 large oars. According to Zhengliang's idea, the weapons of this ship should be large tubes and iron cannons, which are the real core force of the navy. The core of the navy's formation is calculated according to its size, it can carry at least 2,000 stones.

Looking at these big ships, Masayoshi couldn't help but covet. He immediately secretly ordered Black Hawk to go to various places to find craftsmen who could build these houseboats and use various means to take them to the Luo family. Masayoshi planned to end the battle, as soon as he returned to the territory, he would start the establishment of a shipbuilding workshop.

On January 17, Masayora and others arrived at the Yamaguchi Castle in Zhou Fang.

Yamaguchi Castle, as the Ouchi family's residence, has been operating for generations and is extremely prosperous. In addition, Ouchi Yoshitaka's grandfather and Ouchi Yoshitaka's great love for Kyoto culture, have attracted a large number of Kyoto people to settle here. To a certain extent, it has accelerated the prosperity here.

The Ouchi family treated the Luo family well, and actually arranged a Duli camp. After arranging Akaba Nobusuke to be responsible for all matters, Masara went to the city under the escort of the retainers, preparing to pay a visit to Yoshitaka Ouchi. After all, as a guest army, he must meet his master.

"Sir, please stay!" A guard outside the city blocked Zhengliang's way. Although he didn't know who Zhengliang was, judging from the number and power of the guards behind him, he would definitely not be a small person, so the guards seemed quite respectful.

"What's wrong? Can't you go in?" Masara asked strangely. It was obviously an extremely rude thing to keep the guests out of the door. Masara could not imagine that Yoshitaka Ouchi, who advocated Kyoto culture, would do such a thing.

"It's not like that. But an imperial envoy came from Kyoto just now!" The guard smiled apologetically and said, "The head of the family may have to talk for a while, so we can't meet guests for the time being!"

"So that's the case, I have to give up for the time being." Masayoro nodded and said. This time, in order to obtain the war, Yoshitaka Ouchi specifically asked the court for a letter of attack on the Nizi family. Now it seems that the messenger responsible for sending this letter of attack to meet Yoshitaka Ouchi. Perhaps, they are discussing an important matter.

"If you need to meet the head of the family, you can go to the military tent there first, and there are already many adults waiting there." The guard continued.

Looking in the direction of the guard's finger, Zhengliang saw several large military tents, which may be used as a temporary waiting room. There were already many nearby servants standing at the door.

"Okay, I'll go there first!" Zhengliang responded to the guard and walked towards the other side. The number of military tents was limited, so Zhengliang chose one at random. After leaving everyone waiting outside, Zhengliang walked in.

"Saemon Lord. We're meeting again." After Masara walked into the military tent, the first thing he saw was Sugi Tsukizu's professional smile. Then Masarara discovered another old acquaintance, that is Tao Longfang. The latter also seemed very happy after seeing Masarara. After all, the last meeting of the Hokagen family not only laid the foundation for the alliance between the two families of Ouchi and the Ro family, Tao Longfang and Masara also established a good personal relationship.

"Hahaha, it turns out to be His Highness Zhengliang." Compared to calling Zhengliang by his official position, Tao Longfang prefers to calling Zhengliang like this. He thinks this is more intimate.

"It turned out to be Lord Longfang, a few adults." Compared to Tao Longfang's unscrupulousness, Zhengliang seemed much more careful. Otherwise, once he seemed too familiar with Tao Longfang, who would know that any greedy words would be heard in Ouchi Yoshitaka's ears. You know, it is not the time for the Luo family to be unscrupulous.

"Come on, Lord Xingsheng, this is what I often mention to you. The fat former general, Zhengliang of the Luo family." Tao Longfang did not mind Zhengliang's taboo, but continued to introduce to a middle-aged man beside him.

"It turned out to be the eagle of the Fatty Former, His Highness Saemon Masaro." The middle-aged man nodded and said in a daze.

"Mr. Xingsheng is too rewarded. The eagle before the fat is just some jokes that the people say after dinner, so they can't be true!" Zhengliang immediately said modestly. When Tao Longfang respectfully called this middle-aged man "Mr. Xingsheng". Zhengliang knew who the person in front of him was.

This middle-aged man was Naito Xingsheng. In history, he was famous for his literary talent. In fact, in the battle formation, he also had talents that were not inferior to others. Before Tao Longfang's father Tao Xingfang died, he was a senior official of Tao Xingfang's name in the Danai family. His status can be seen from this time being as a general of the Danai family. Unfortunately, such talent. After Ouchi Yoshitaka fell into a slump, he gradually became alienated by Ouchi Yoshitaka, and finally lived in seclusion and focused on literature. Even when Tao Longfang raised troops to rebel, he kept his troops in his family and agreed to Tao Longfang's rebellion. In addition, not long after, with the support of Ouchi Yoshitaka, Naito Xingsheng's daughter also betrothed to the Maori family's legitimate son, Takamoto Mori, who had just ended his hostage life in Yamaguchi Castle.

After politely speaking to each other, the four people in the military tent started chatting.

"This time my family's appearance was recognized by the court, and it will definitely defeat the Nizi family." Naito Hiromori said first.

"Hmph, the Nizi family is just a native chicken and tile. In the last year's battle, it was beaten to flee by our family. This time, the family gathered so many troops, and the Nizi family was destroyed is not far away!" Tao Longfang's words seemed to have returned to the scene of the battle under Tianshan City of Jijun.

As the main contributor to this campaign, and even the later urgent battle faction, the two seemed quite confident.

"What the two adults said is very true!" The old cunning Shan Zhongju and Zhengliang, who was inconvenient to express his opinions, echoed.

In this way, the few people started chatting together.

After a while, Yoshitaka Ouchi's close servant came to summon him. It turned out that Yoshitaka Ouchi had finished the interview, and then summoned everyone involved in the battle to the city for a meeting.

"Everyone!" In the hall of Yamaguchi Castle, Yoshitaka Ouchi said with great enthusiasm, "The envoy from the court has arrived just now. The court was furious about the atrocities of the Nizi family. In order to maintain the court's constitution, the court specially ordered the family to punish the Nizi family." Yoshitaka Ouchi said this in righteous words, as if heartbroken. Even Masara, who was a loyal ally, had to sigh after seeing it, it turned out that the acting skills of the ancients were so good.

"The lord is so powerful that the world is the best! The great family is prosperous!" As soon as Yoshitaka Ouchi finished speaking, the remaining officials of the great family shouted.

"I announce again that the two families of our family have officially launched the Nizi family, Xingsheng, you will be responsible for our family's first move, and the rest will follow me as Naka Town." Yoshitaka Ouchi continued: "Your Highness Masara, I heard that you were very leisurely when you were in Kyushu! My family's backstage will be handed over to you, with Iida Hikaru, there is no problem?"

"Please rest assured by Lord Dazai!" Masara said firmly: "I will definitely ensure that the next formation will be foolproof!" It seems that although Yoshitaka Ouchi was in Yamaguchi Castle, he did not relax at all about Masara's surveillance. At least from the words just now, he knew about Masara's hunting everywhere when he was in Kyushu. But why did he suddenly make a point of surveillance? Does he mean to trust the Luo family? Or is it a harsh person? It's really interesting to the insider.

Two rips later, the army gathered in Zhou Fangmidajiri officially began to set off. The army boarded the Nakaite's navy and marched along the sea route. With such a large-scale army, the Nakaite could be carried by ships at once, showing the great strength of the Nakaite again.

The fleet landed in Iwaki, who was in Zhoufang. Then, he joined forces with the guardian Yohiro Nakatsu Takashima who had been waiting there for a long time and headed towards An Yun. On January 21, the Ouchi army arrived at An Yi Miyajima.

Itsujima, also known as Miyajima, is a small island with a circumference of 30.9 kilometers and an area of ​​only 30.17 square kilometers. It is only 1.8 kilometers away from the other side of the shore. The Rihei family once built the Itsujima Shrine here, and this island was named after the society.

The last time Masara went to Kyoto to seek official positions, he also passed by here. At that time, due to limited time, Masarara only glanced at it in a hurry. Now he finally had the opportunity to enjoy the shrine that was famous for the battle between Riguri and Itsuki.

From the outside, the shrine seems to be no different from ordinary temples. The only difference is that there are relatively more buildings. The shrine is centered on the main hall, including the Kū Shū, the Menke Shū, the Daikoku Shū, the Tenshin Shū, and the Tū Shū. There are also chakū, the Nūtū, and the Tūtū. There are also chakū, the Nūtū, and the Tūtū. There are also chakū, the Nūtū, and the Tūtū. The only difference is that the shrines are relatively largely vermilion red.

The corridor connects it. When rising, you can see that Itsuki Shrine is like floating on the sea. Mount Yai standing behind the shrine, the wide Seto Inland Sea in front and the solemn and gorgeous palace-style buildings bring people into a world of palace culture. The "Big Torii" (the gate of the Rimoto Shrine) standing on the sea is a symbol of Miyajima. It shines with the temple with red pillars and white walls, the surrounding green forests and blue seas. The layout of these buildings is quite exquisite. Looking from the outside, they are like a big bird flying with wings spreading.

The army worshipped at the Itsuki Shrine, and Yoshitaka Ouchi even lit the eternal light and made a wish for victory.
