Others may not know the temperament of these alien races on this small island, but Chu Yi knew it very well.

Just looking at the reactions of Sun Meng and others, we know that Sun Meng and others did not take these alien races seriously at all, but it is not a big deal for Sun Meng and others.

You should know that the Ming Dynasty is still the central empire, and it can be said that it is surrendering to all directions and the coming of all nations is an absolute supreme country of the Celestial Empire.

As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Meng and others were in their eyes, even the grassland aliens that established the huge Mongol Empire in the past were not considered a threat, let alone just an island country.

Chu Yi was worried that Sun Meng and others would underestimate the Japanese alien race too much. With this mentality, once they met the Japanese alien race, they would most likely suffer a big loss if they were not careful.

It seemed that Chu Yi would remind them solemnly that even Sun Meng, who was like a reckless man, showed a bit of serious expression on his face.

With a glance, Chu Yi looked at Yu Dayou with satisfaction and appreciation and said, "Yu Dayou, I ordered you to be the vanguard, the army will set off, and the target Shi Jianguo!"

Ishimiko

The Ouchi clan ruled the Ishimi Kingdom for a long time. When the Japanese turmoil was in chaos, a small island suddenly divided into dozens of countries of all sizes, and the Ouchi clan established the Ishimi Kingdom.

The small Ishimi Country has more than 100,000 Chinese people. Because the country occupied Ishimi Silver Mountain, it has sufficient financial resources. In addition, countries such as Izumo Country and An Yi Country are eyeing each other, so the Ouchi Family has a total of 5,000 family soldiers.

It seems like a joke that only 5,000 soldiers and horses in a country may seem like a joke, but this is normal in Japan. After all, these so-called small countries are not even as good as those in the Ming Dynasty. It is still a powerful military force to raise thousands of soldiers.

The Ouchi family had more than 5,000 soldiers, and at the same time, two thousand horses guarded Shi Jian Yin Mountain, supervised slaves to dig Shi Jian Yin Mountain, and refine gold and silver.

A city wall that looks like a slightly larger earthen enclosure forms the only city in Ishimiguo.

This city is made of loess and gravel, which is only two meters high and only a few miles in a radius. If such a city is placed in the Ming Dynasty, it is simply a small city in a small city. Any city in a county town is taller than this city.

It was dawn and many seemingly poor people carried their loads into the city.

Most of the buildings in Japan are mainly wooden houses, which is also common in Shijianguo. This is the only city, and there are wooden houses everywhere.

In this city, the few brick and stone courtyards are the residences of the Ouchi clan and the many ministers of the Ouchi clan.

A three-entry yard covers an area of ​​about a few acres. At first glance, it looks a bit like a landlord in the Ming Dynasty. However, this yard is the home of the Ouchi family, which ruled the entire Ishimi Kingdom.

Yoshihiko Ouchi was in a hall at this moment. In addition to Yoshihiko Ouchi, there were several retainers who Ouchi Yoshik, who were highly valued by Yoshik Ouchi, Tao Xingfang, Yamada Naiki, Ono Shiro and others.

Yoshihiko Ouchi's eyes fell on Tao Xingfang, who was sitting on the first place on the left, and said, "Tao Family, what is the situation in Shi Jian Yinshan? How can silver be produced this month?"

Tao Xingfang raised his eyebrows and said with a happier look on his face: "Head of the family, the silver production from Shijian Yinshan last month has been transported into the warehouse, with a total of 92,300 taels of silver."

Yoshihiko Ouchi nodded slightly. This data was not beyond his expectations. Ishimiji Yinshan was the largest silver mountain in Japan. During this period, the entire Japan produced almost 200 tons of silver annually, which is as much as five or six million taels of silver.

Shi Jian Yinshan accounts for about 20% of the entire Japanese silver production, which means Shi Jian Yinshan produces an annual silver of millions of taels, and nearly 100,000 taels of silver in a month.

In theory, the Ouchi clan guards such a silver mountain and can get nearly 100,000 taels of silver every month. The entire Ishimi country should be very rich, but the fact is not.

The people of Shijian Country are very poor, and almost one-tenth of the people in the country are forced to go to Shijian Yinshan to smel the silver mine.

As for the others, Jingzhuang was forced to become soldiers of the Ouchi family, either working hard to farm on barren land or fishing on the sea in the wind and rain.

The Ouchi family occupied a large piece of fat meat like Ishimi Yinshan, which has always been the object of peeping around the surrounding countries. It can be said that they would fight against Izumo and Anyi countries without moving. After years of fighting, Ishimi's strength and losses were extremely heavy, and there were very few males in the fields.

Years of war and fighting also made Shi Jianguo miserable. He had a lot of gold and silver, but even had incomplete equipment.

Don’t look at the Japanese samurai swords that are famous for their sharpness, but there are very few such famous swords, and only the high-ranking samurai have the opportunity to own them.

As for ordinary soldiers in the lower class, let alone samurai swords, it would be good to have weapons. Many soldiers even made mistakes by cutting bamboo poles into spears.

Yoshihiko Ouchi looked at the first person in the right, Yoshihiko Ouchi, who was the family of the Ouchi clan, assisted Yoshihiko Ouchi in charge of the finances of the Ouchi clan and managed the logistics of Ishimiguo.

I could only hear Yoshihiko Ouchi said: "Yiyatsuya Ouchi, the food and weapons of the country can be fully prepared. Have the Ming caravans outside the port agreed to get Ming armies for us?"

The Danei family has always had contact with many Ming merchants and obtained some weapons from these merchants, but the weapons that those merchants could bring were only a very small number of them, and they were not enough to consume them again and again.

It can be said that the Ouchi clan never gave up the efforts to purchase arms from the Ming Dynasty. Every time the high-level officials of Ishimi Kingdom gathered, Yoshihiko Ouchi had to ask, after all, how many arms could be obtained, it directly related to whether the rule of the Ouchi clan could be stable and long-term.

In such a huge Japan, there was never a shortage of farmers who joined the army for the sake of their meals, but the lack of sufficient military equipment restricted the expansion of their military power.

Japan has always lacked iron ore, otherwise so many craftsmen would not have worked hard to build a handful of exquisite weapons. In fact, they lack raw materials and cannot be wasted.

The Ouchi clan had a lot of gold and silver, but could not obtain sufficient weapons. Not only Ishimiya, but also the huge Japan and countries of all sizes were facing the same problems.

Many times, when wars between several countries are in danger, there are very few dead, because these war soldiers do not have deadly weapons at all.

Yoshikazu Ouchi shook his head slightly at Yoshiki Ouchi, and said with a wry smile: "A small amount of weapons can barely be obtained at a high price, but if it is large, these Ming people don't have such a lot of energy at all."

A fierce look flashed in Yoshihiko Ouchi's eyes and said, "It seems that I can only hope that Nakajo Hori can gain something!"

Yoshihiko Ouchi and others knew that these maritime merchants who dared to go into business might not be able to come up with too many weapons to trade with them, but they were absolutely well-equipped.

Many of the Ouchi family's excellent weapons were obtained by plundering sea merchants through the pirates of Nakajo Hori.

He plundered a caravan, and the plundering goods were not mentioned, but only had at least hundreds of weapons, which was almost enough for them to lose the two wars.

If it weren't for this, Yoshihiro Ouchi wouldn't have strongly supported Nakajo Hori to rob outside.

Tao Xingfang said with a look of expectation in his eyes: "Even if the head of the family is relieved, the one who is staring at a big fish this time, I think he will definitely gain a lot of results this time."

Thinking that the return of Nakajo Heli could not only bring a large amount of spoils, but also obtain a large number of weapons. Many of the soldiers of the Ouchi clan led by him could replace better weapons, Tao Xingfang couldn't help but feel excited and wished that Nakajo Heli could return immediately.

A retainer opened his mouth with a bit of worry on his face, as if he had something to say.

Yoshihiko Ouchi glanced at the other party and couldn't help but say, "Murakami, do you have anything to say?"

Murakami took a deep breath, and under the gaze of everyone, he said with some concern: "Head of the family, the fleet that Nakatsuki went to rob is probably of a big origin, I am afraid..."

Before Murakami Masaichi finished speaking, Tao Xingfang said with some disdain: "It's just a caravan. Even if it's not small, the other party is at most a caravan supported by a powerful man from the Ming Dynasty. Even if it's robbed, so what? Can the other party still cross the sea to take revenge?"

The people present couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Japan is adjacent to the Ming Dynasty, but its connections between them have never been cut off. In the eyes of people like Yoshihiko Da Nei, the Ming Dynasty is the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, but Japan is not bad.

Although the Ming Dynasty has strong national strength, there is no way to deal with them in Japan, right?

Besides, merchants have no status in the Ming Dynasty, especially under the implementation of the Ming Dynasty's policy of forbidden seas, those merchants who went into the sea did not receive legal support and protection from the Ming Dynasty's court. Therefore, even if they plundered, they would definitely not attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty court. Even if those merchants had a huge background, they would definitely not alarm the Ming Dynasty court.

Obviously, the news that the Ming Dynasty implemented the strategy of opening the sea under the auspices of Chu Yi has not spread in Japan. Although the Danei clan could detect that during this period, there seemed to be a lot more Danei clans coming from the sea, the Danei clan never considered why these bans of sea suddenly surged.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Ouchi clan, these maritime merchants are all fat pigs. As long as they are targeted, they will only end up being robbed.

It was like the Gu caravan that was targeted. Because the Gu caravan was quite large and exposed his strength when Ishimiguo was conducting a transaction, he was targeted by Nakajo Hori and chased Gu's family at sea for a few days and nights.

Murakami Masaichi sighed slightly, and he could only hope that he was over-thinking.

However, Chu Yi led that huge fleet sailing on the sea. The weather was beautiful. He encountered no storm along the way, and appeared smoothly near the sea in Japan.

The big ship passed through the islands and, following the guidance of the guide left by Gu, Chu Yi and others finally saw the place where Ishimiya Kingdom was.

Shijianguo is famous for Shijian Yinshan Mountain. The tall Shijian Yinshan Mountain can be said to be extremely eye-catching. From a distance, you can see the continuous mountains.

An old man with a little dry and black skin was bent slightly at this moment, and he said to Chu Yi, Lu Dazhu and others with a respectful look on his face: "Sir, that is where Shi Jian Yin Mountain is located in Shi Jian Kingdom!"

At this time, Shi Jian Yinshan's name had gradually spread, and Gu had come to Shi Jian's country several times to do business, so he was naturally familiar with Shi Jian Yinshan's name.

Although I am not very clear about the silver production of Shimiji Yinshan, I also know that Shimiji Yinshan produces a large amount of gold and silver. Of course, I am afraid that only a very small number of people who really know the depth of Shimiji Yinshan know what kind of silver mine is Shimiji Yinshan.

The annual output is over one million taels, which lasts for hundreds of years. It was not until hundreds of years later that the silver mine gradually dried up. In this era, it was the largest silver mine in Asia. Even the entire Japan accounted for more than half of the inflow of Daming silver before the American silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty.

The annual output of silver is 200 tons, as much as five or six million taels. Most of the silver has flowed into the Ming Dynasty through trade, and this is just Japan. If we count the surrounding countries, and even the American silver that gradually replaced Japan and occupied the mainstream, it can be said that the benefits contained in the Ming Dynasty's sea trade are simply amazing.

Chu Yi looked at the Shijian Yinshan through the Qianli Mile Mile, and his eyes couldn't help but look a little strange.

Even if he cannot occupy the entire Japan this time, and only occupying the Shijian Kingdom, it would be fine if he led a large army to cross the east this time.

As ships passed through safe waterways and approached the port, such a large-scale ship appeared outside the port and naturally alarmed the crowd in the port early.

The person responsible for managing the port was Ueno Nakamitsu, the retainer of the Ouchi clan.

Ueno Nakamitsu, dressed in silk and satin, dressed like a gentry in the Ming Dynasty, was enjoying the gentleness of several artists. Suddenly, the door was snapped by the servants and said, "Sir, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good..."

Ueno Nakamitsu couldn't help but frowned and shouted at the door: "What's the matter? You're so panicked, disturbing me good things..."

I could only hear the servant tremble and say, "Sir, there are so many ships, so many big ships..."

Ueno Nakamitsu was slightly stunned. Under the service of several artists, he changed his clothes, walked to the door in wooden clogs, opened the door and stared at the servant kneeling on the ground, and said with a cold face: "What big ship? Where did the big ship come from?"

Having a ship comes means he is going to make a fortune. Ueno Nakamitsu, who is managing the entire port, has been eating from the port for many years. When he heard a large number of ships coming, Ueno Nakamitsu first thought about how much benefits he could get from the Ming merchants.

ps: "The World is All Ghosts except Me", I suddenly saw a new book and read a summary. It's quite interesting. Please help me try poisoning!
