During the special period when Spain was frantically mining silver in the Americas, Iwami Ginzan actually accounted for one-third of global silver production!

However, it is said that these wealthy families, after escaping back to the countryside, actively searched for silver mines for the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time sent people to Ping An Jing to seek reinforcements.

If the Emperor's army is defeated, they will seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty and dedicate their silver mines to the Ming Dynasty.

If the emperor's army wins, they can also perform meritorious service and divide the silver mines afterwards.

Anyway, it’s not a loss anyway.

…

Emperor Toba, what are you doing right now?

Clean up the court!

His immortal grandfather finally died, and from now on he has the final say.

First of all, he welcomed Yasuko Fujiwara into the palace to gain the support of his relatives, the Fujiwara family, and use the Fujiwara family to suppress the forces promoted by his grandfather.

Secondly, consolidate your own administration and reject the administration left by your grandfather.

This guy is playing with fire. His grandfather vigorously promotes the middle and lower nobles, and his purpose is nothing more than to strengthen centralization of power.

However, Emperor Toba did the opposite and actually re-employed his relatives and nobles. This eventually led to the birth of Japan's first shogunate era, and the emperor became a complete puppet.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army defeated the Nagato navy and quickly captured Iwami Castle!"

When Emperor Toba first heard about this, he was a little confused and asked: "Which country is the Ming Dynasty? I only know the Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty and Goryeo. Where is the Ming Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has died, and the new emperor of China founded the country and named it Ming Dynasty."

"How could China send troops to kill them? And instead of coming to attack Ping An, they went to the remote Shi Jian Country?"

"I don't know."

"Call the army immediately! Before sending troops, send an envoy to Shi Jian to ask for clarification."

(Three corrections in previous chapters: first, Niron Mongolia was brain-beaten and became Sauron Mongolia; second, the light cavalry did rarely use super long lances, which have been changed from four meters to three meters; third, Shi Jian

The location of Guocheng has been corrected.)
