Chapter 483: Sea Power

"Thank you, uncle! If it weren't for the uncle coming in time, the consequences would be unimaginable! My nephew made a big mistake, which almost led to the annihilation of Yi Yu's army and ruined the situation of Sanhao's family! My nephew is willing to accept all punishment!" After being picked up on the boat and seeing An Zhai Dongkang, Sanhao Yixing, who was ashamed, kowtowed and apologized.

"You don't have to do this. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs." An Zai Dongkang smiled twice and kindly helped Sanhao Yixing up. As the fleet anchored again, they had slowly left Sakai Port. Yu Qiujun on the shore could only sigh. "Didn't your second uncle be defeated and captured not long ago? I have also suffered a defeat. As long as you reflect on it later, it is good to improve."

"What my uncle said is that there are so many things that I need to improve. The strategy that my uncle can see through at a glance is really kept in the dark. If it were the uncle on the front line yesterday, I'm afraid that wouldn't have been like this." Miyoo Yoshikyu shook his head guiltily and said, "It's indeed too early to let me take charge of a country."

"Your nephew doesn't have to belittle yourself. To be honest, even if I am in your position, I can't see through Yuqiu Hongye's plan." An Zaiyao Dongya smiled bitterly and patted Miyoshi Yoshihiko's shoulders, "If I could see Yuqiu Hongye's plan, how could I not take countermeasures? I just took a complete plan and personally led the Awaji Mizumai to Sakai Port to respond, and the remaining troops immediately retreated back to Kishiwata Castle to defend."

"Under the enemy, counter-espionage, ambush, and fire attacks are intertwined. Yuqiu's family must have a capable person."

At this moment, in the castle of the north of Sakaimachi, the merchants of the House of Commons were also closely watching the battle situation. After confirming that the victory of the Yuqiu family was decided, many of them cheered excitedly. A few days ago, Yuqiuhei came to Sakaimachi and proposed this plan to the merchants of the House of Commons to lure the Sanhao family to attack. Their House of Commons discussed all day, and finally after a vote, they agreed to Yuqiu's plan - because apart from this plan, they could not think of any other way to defeat the Sanhao army. It would be better to fight to the death than to watch the Yuqiu family defeat.

They acted according to the plan of Yuqiu family, and transferred all the national treasury, precious goods, money and grain to the city of the sea to the north, and moored with the fleet to retreat at any time. However, only straw, cotton and sulfur were left in the treasury. The hostage Yuqiu Yu was also secretly dropped and a substitute was left there. In this way, they could avoid the risk of Yuqiu's real life - really looting Sakaimachi. Despite this, they were still nervous. Now that the plan was successful, Yuqiu Hei did not have any insignificance to Sakaimachi. They naturally celebrated with relief.

However, there were other people who looked solemn and had no joy at all. These included Imai Sokuha, Tsuda Sounda and Shiro Mo Yoshimo.

"Did you see it? This is the strength of Yuqiu Army." Sohi Imai looked at Yuqiu Army who defeated Miyoshi Yoshihiro, but his mind was full of night scenes. The neat military formations like tofu blocks were almost completely uneven and uniform even in the running. His terrible execution ability was that he had to enter the various blocks and treasury of Sakaimachi, without any confusion at all, and everyone was carrying out the tasks step by step. Almost in that short hour, the entire Sakaimachi was occupied.

"If His Highness of the Lord Jima did not inform us, he would do it directly, just like last night." Sohi Imai laughed dryly, and his cheeks, which had always been a businessman-like smile, also looked a little stiff, "Do you think we can escape?"

No one answered the words of Imai Sorakus, and no one knew how to answer.

"You must be more careful in your future defense, whether it is the national treasury or the place where Mr. Yuqiu is under house arrest." Sohi Imai sighed and whispered helplessly, "The crow judge is so powerful. His crow has penetrated into such a deep place. As long as he wants, he can even rob Mr. Yuqiu immediately and even take our lives."

"Those are all ninjas who have experienced many battles, and many plainclothes lurk in our caravans or shops." Tsuda Soka whispered in a low fear, "I'm trying to investigate these days, but I'm afraid that everyone will be in danger, so I have to give up."

"This is not the most important question. The question is what to do now for the sea trade?" Makiyoshi Shiro interrupted the passage anxiously. "Originally, when the Miyo family and Honanji were in trouble, our Ishiyama-cho merchants joined the parliament, the Ishiyama-cho trade ships were already troubled. They were often stopped by the Miyo family at the Seto Inland Sea for some reason and asked for review. In the end, they had to pay some benefits to get through. Now, Sakaimachi and He Yuqiu family deceived the Miyo family together. What should we do if the Miyo family broke the previous agreement with the Yuqiu family in anger, blocked the port and prohibited us from trading, and even let the Awaji water army rush into the port and ransacked, what should we do?"

"There is no choice but to let His Highness the Lord of the Imperial Department build a water army that can compete with His Highness Anzai." Tsuda Soji spread his hands and shook his head, "Before this, try to tolerate it as much as possible. Although the blockade of the port is also a damaging problem, it is still acceptable. What I worry most now is that the Awaji Mid Force rushed into Sakai Port and plundered, burned and seized our merchant ship cargo, and everything would be over."

·

Yu Qiuping is also worried about what the merchants in the House of Commons are worried about.

Sanhao Yixing's troops were defeated by Yu Qiuping, and there was also a large-scale surrender. The morale of the troops could no longer be saved. Sanhao Yixing was unable to fight again, and led his army back to Yiyu at the request of Sanhao Changqing to carry out liquidation and rectification.

As Miyoshi Yoshiki's troops withdrew from Kazuizumi, the Miyoshi's troops' strength advantage over the Oda army also disappeared. In addition, the time is approaching spring plowing, and it is difficult for Miyoshi's troops to make any major progress before spring plowing. The battle between Miyoshi Yoshiki, Sakuma Nobumo, and Honanji is still anxious and there is no breakthrough. In this situation, Miyoshi Yoshiki's troops were withdrawn, and Tokawa Ichizu led his troops back to Shiguo, while Anzai Tokuya continued to station in Kishiwata Castle. After the crisis was lifted, Hiroki Ikeda and Ichie Takigawa also led their troops back, and the situation of Yuqiu's family temporarily stabilized.

Although the situation on the road has temporarily stabilized, the situation at sea is worrying. The Awaji Water Army, which is free to come and go, left a huge psychological shadow on Yu Qiuhei - he could have wiped out Miyo Yoshikyu - that was a whole 3ooo warrior. Moreover, this was annihilated in an integrated manner, and there was no way to rebuild the army. In an instant, there would be no way to rebuild the army. Without so many wealthy families in Iyu's country, the rule of the Miyo family in Iyu would also have major problems, which may explode a large number of Isaac Ikki, and it could even directly lead to the collapse of the Miyo family in Shikoku, Kinki, and Sanyang's fronts due to the lack of troops. And if Yu Qiuhei captured the young master of the Miyo family in his hands, he could do whatever he wanted at the negotiating table.

As a result, such a good situation was disrupted by Anzai Dongyao's naval forces, and Yi Yuzhong was rescued. In a night of melee, he actually didn't kill many people, and it was probably less than 50. The broken up Yi Yuzhong could only recover his combat power in a few months. However, the Yuqiu family had to pay a considerable maintenance fee due to the destruction of Sakaimachi and could not make much money.

Fighting against the Seto Inland Sea, if there is no way to defeat Yasuya Tomoya's naval army, as long as the troops of the Miyo family retreat to the shore when they fail, they can retreat safely and safely. Yu Qiupi, who has no navy, has no way to do anything to them. The Miyo Qiupi is invincible. What worries Yu Qiupi even more is that Sakaimachi and Yu Qiupi cooperate to deceive the Miyo family and tear the face of the Miyo family. If the Amiko family no longer abides by the previous agreement and attacks Sakai Port, how should Yu Qiupi, who has no navy, defend?

It was not a solution for me, but Yu Qiuhei suddenly remembered that there was a naval expert in his family - Ida Yasuki, who returned from Europe. In the past few years, since Yu Qiuhei had no naval army, he had no place to use his skills and had been following Sena Yoshihiro and Naoe Tadaehei to do some internal affairs. Although he had no complaints, he could see that he was depressed and unsuccessful.

Yu Qiupi then immediately found Yasuki Ida and asked him if he could help him train a navy army to compete with the Awaji navy if he had enough funds.

"I am very proud of it, Hongye, this is no different from dreaming." After hesitating for a while, Katsuki Idao still whispered bluntly.

"What? Why?" Yu Qiuping had already drafted a budget application to Congress, but was choked back by Yidan Kangqing's words.

"There are too many difficulties, Hongye." Idao Yasuki shook his head, paused and said: "First, a navy army needs a large number of personnel. Although the dozens of brothers I brought back from Europe have been walking on the sea for several years and are competent for the role of the captain. But the sailor cannot be transformed out of thin air! If your highness wants to be able to compete with the Awaji Navy, which has more than 800 ships, it requires at least thousands of sailors. These are all practiced step by step. Isn't it a day and night skill?"

"Let's take a step back, it's just a process to build a ship. Generally, wood will have to be air-dried for three years before it can be launched into the water, otherwise it will gradually deform after it is launched. Your Highness has to wait for three years before establishing a shipyard along the coast to start building ships. But we have no ability to control the seaside, and Awaji Li Kazumi arrives day and night. The Awaji navy can completely attack our shipyard directly, so that we can't even build a ship."

"What should we do? As long as the sea control power in the Seto Inland Sea is controlled by the Awaji Water Army, we will not have a safe shipyard and we will never be able to build a ship? Not to mention training the water army!" Yu Qiupi also realized the embarrassment when he heard this and hurriedly asked.

"There is no way. The Southern Barbarians of Europa have a way to guard their shipyard, but it's really a big deal." Ida Katsuki lowered his head and pondered for a while, and threw a simple example to Yuqiuping: "You can make your own artillery, called Big Tube in Japan. Then build a turret along the coast and place the Big Tube in the fort. The range of the Big Tube is farther than that of roasted bullets, iron cannons, bows and arrows, and it is very powerful. If the shells fired by the Big Tube can hit the ship, the Xiaozai ship would probably overturn directly, and the Guan Shi and Anzhai ship would not have much to eat. Moreover, the navy fired on the bumpy ship, and the accuracy was very poor, which was completely incomparable to the turret set on the road. As long as the turret can be set up, the shipyard can be covered, and the Sakai Port can be prevented from invading."
