In the seventh year of Yonglu, Takeda Xinxuan ordered jiangma Shisheng to build a city here as an attack stronghold against Vietnam and China. After the completion of Shengang City, it became a branch city of jiangma family's city and Suwa city on the plateau.

What is different from history is that at present, the builders of the city have changed from Jiang Ma Shisheng to Li Xiao, and the year of construction is one year earlier than in history.

Shengang city is built on the platform overlooking the plateau township. It is not far from the famous Shengang mine in the future.

Li Xiao was angry when he mentioned Shengang Yinshan. Obviously, Jiang Ma Huisheng didn't disclose the details when he told Li Xiao about the information of Jiang Ma's family.

This Shengang Yinshan is actually the biggest card and the biggest secret of the jiangma family.

Around Shengang Yinshan, the jiangma family is under close protection. No one is allowed to approach except their own people and miners.

During his previous visit to the city of Suwa on the plateau, Li Xiao deliberately asked Jiang Ma Shisheng about Shengang Jinshan. However, as soon as Jiang Ma Shisheng heard Li Xiao mention the word Shengang Yinshan, his vigilant eyes swept Li Xiao up and down, covering his wallet to prevent thieves.

Li Xiao can only sneer at this from the bottom of his heart.

At that time, the jiangma family imposed a news blockade on everything in Shengang Yinshan and did not allow any prospectors to enter. Therefore, only the jiangma family knew the amount of ore reserves and daily output at Shengang Yinshan at that time.

Therefore, the specific information of Shengang Yinshan is not even clear to the enemy countries, and it is even less clear to all countries. In fact, there are not many famous experts who are interested in beifei mountain, which is high and far away, and the news is closed.

As a feudal agricultural economic country, Japan's famous experts still made great efforts to invade the territory and improve the leading height of earth and rock as the first goal.

Even later, when Takeda Xinxuan, a blonde in Jiazhou, and Shangshan Qianxin, who mined Sadu Jinshan and Minghai Jinshan, became rich overnight, the two rose side by side as the heroes of the Warring States period.

So far, countries have really paid attention to gold mining.

However, the reserves of the Shengang Yinshan Mine at that time, despite the repeated blockade of the jiangma family.

However, specific information can be obtained from historical data. Shengang Yinshan is a silver lead-zinc mine, which has been mined since the retirement years of Nara era (720).

The real implementation of large-scale mining in Shengang Yinshan was in the seventh year of Meiji, when Mitsui chaebol of the royalist Party (today's Toyota and Toshiba are its subsidiaries) obtained the mining right of Shengang Yinshan because of the success of political investment.

In the next 130 years, Mitsui chaebol mined 75 million tons of ore from Shengang Yinshan!

Of course, Li Xiao, who can only play Xinye, Taige and other games, doesn't know this. As long as he knows that the mineral reserves of Shengang Yinshan are often gray, it's enough.

You know, at that time, the mining method was single and backward. From the retirement years of Nara era to seven years before Meiji, the whole Shengang Yinshan did not mine much. The jiangma family does not allow prospectors to enter, so the excavation means must be more backward.

Li Xiao looked at the jiangma family holding such a huge treasure in his arms, but he didn't make good use of it. His eyes were red.

As the saying goes, every man is innocent and bears his sins.

Looking at the plateau village under his feet, Li Xiao has begun to plan to seize the jiangma family.

However, before planning to seize the Shengang mine, Li Xiao must carry out his great cause of building the city.

Due to the barren land of Feiyu country, Li Xiao's 5000 stone Zhixing land in Feiyu country is surprisingly large.

Well, if the endless virgin forest among the mountains can also be regarded as territory.

In fact, the territory under Li Xiao's control is the original territory of the jiangma family minister, the Heshang family, and the Renjia family. After Li Xiao defeated the two armies in the highland city of Wawa, the head of the Heshang family was taken. Although he and the Renjia family later surrendered, he ended up being chased and released by jiangma Shisheng because he betrayed his master's family.

As a result, the territory of the ho Jen family on the river was successfully taken over by Li Xiao in exchange for the jiangma family's reward for the Wutian family's assistance.

Li Xiaozhen is in control of the land of knowledge and practice. In addition to the vast primeval forest, it is mainly the plateau countryside. Because the plateau river flows from east to North and West, the more north, the wider the river surface, so the fields that can be cultivated are distributed on both sides of the lower reaches of the river.

From Shengang City, where Li Xiao is now building the city, he will travel about 10 kilometers north and downstream along the plateau Sichuan and meet with jijinchuan flowing from the East. Here is a street connecting Xinchuan County in Vietnam.

However, this mountain road is relatively steep. If there is a large-scale military force, it is very difficult. Moreover, due to the closure of the mountain due to heavy snow in winter, it can't pass for at least one third of the year.

However, in Takeda Xinxuan's great strategy of encircling from Feiyu to Yuezhong and later, this street is an important channel for Takeda army to send troops to Yuezhong from Xinnong through Feiyu. In history, the Takeda family sent troops several times, and Feiyu followed this route.

The city of kamoka is guarded on this street, and the terrain is very important, which is why later Takeda Xinxuan let jiangma Shisheng build the city here.

However, in the military order given by Takeda Xinxuan to Li Xiao, it was stated that the main purpose of this Shengang city was to store grain and garrison troops, followed by defense.

The reason is very simple. It takes many days to travel from Feiyu expedition to Vietnam. Relying only on the dry food bags on the soldiers can't support the logistics of the Takeda army.

Therefore, before the Feiyu conquest army marched, Li Xiao must store enough food and grass in Shengang city for the conquest army to use in the future.

This is also a consideration that Takeda Xinxuan's three armies did not move, but grain and grass first.

Then Li Xiao didn't expect that he decided to build the city for the first half of the month, but it didn't work at all.

The reason is that when Li Xiao sent out an application for general service in the construction of the city to the famous owners (that is, the village head) of each village in Zhixing land, there were no responders, and no one bought his account at all.

After Li knew it, his face changed dramatically. Is this a rebellion.

Li Xiaoli immediately sent ninjas to investigate and immediately understood the situation. It turned out that Jiang Ma Shisheng was playing tricks behind his back.

After hearing this, Li Xiao was furious and scolded. Originally, he had a little guilt about planning to seize the jiangma family's property in the future. Now it has completely disappeared.

But anger belongs to anger. How to reverse and resolve this adverse situation is the top priority for Li Xiao.

As a flying outsider, although Li Xiao got the fief recognized by jiangma Shisheng, the locals didn't buy his account at all. For Li Xiao, the new Lord, his position is precarious.

If the elder sister's family suddenly had some evil intention and sent troops to attack, Li Xiaogen could not have called local agricultural troops to support the battle.

What's more, if those local villagers make a "local premier" and "always a premier" to start the revolution, Li Xiao really wants to cry without tears.

As a modern man, Li Xiao deeply knows the profound truth summed up by the revolutionary martyrs to improve mass relations, mobilize and organize the masses.

So Li Xiao decided to go to the grass-roots level and personally visit the village leaders who didn't buy their own accounts.

The sun is scorching in July, but as a flying country with highland climate, it is still slightly refreshing.

Li Xiao rode the black forging along the Bank of the plateau river. As a mountain river, the velocity of the plateau river was very fast, so he couldn't sail at all. After walking for a long time, the water potential was full and gentle. Here formed a beach.

Local farmers can be seen on the side of the beach. They go to the river to get water and irrigate the fields.

When the local farmers saw Li Xiao's marching men and horses, they seemed to have some resistance. They all fled away from Li Xiao's men and horses, took a hoe and looked at the strangers in the distance with an unfriendly look.

Li Xiao went to visit the local area. In addition to Shigang Yiyu, he also brought 30 standing soldiers with long guns.

On this trip, he did not dare to attend the meeting as single as he did last time when he visited the city of Suwa on the plateau.

In the missile mountain country where the news is blocked, these troublemakers know what you are, Takeda family General Li Xiao. I haven't heard of it.

It's also because he is worried that the folk custom is too fierce. Of course, this is unlikely, but for the purpose of being wary of those curfews, Li Xiao thinks it's safer to bring people and horses. Maybe he can suppress the local villains in case of crisis.

After a long walk along the plateau, Li Xiaolai came to zhixingdi, the largest village, the village of mountains.

The village with mountains is adjacent to the border between Vietnam and China. Next to the village is DUOHE mountain. You can reach Vietnam through this mountain.

There are nearly a thousand people in a mountain village, which is very rare. You know, the more the population in the village, the larger the area of cultivated land required nearby. It's not easy to find such a large piece of flat land in a flying mountain.

Li Xiao rode along with farmland on both sides. After a while, he came to the fork in front of him. On the left side of the fork, there was a towering vermilion bird house. Behind the bird house stood two vertical flags. You don't have to guess that it was a local shrine.

The other side of the fork on the right side leads to the village, which is full of low houses. There is a standing fire at the village gate.

The function of Huojian is a lookout platform for people to climb up and prevent mountain bandits and mountain fires. It is specially used for early warning in the village.

After entering the village, both sides of Li Xiao are low farm houses. The walls of the houses are made of thatch. Although such houses are not as good as wooden plank houses, they have the effect of good thermal insulation and wind and snow resistance in cold mountains.

However, in the village, Li Xiao didn't see any active people, but vaguely felt that behind the wooden door, there were pairs of vigilant eyes looking at them.

In a low voice, Li Xiao ordered the standing guards to be on guard and continue to move forward as if there were no one else. According to the normal truth, he is also a local Lord. Before entering the village, the local famous Lord should come all the way to meet him.

When Li Xiaoxing entered the village, the famous owner lived in the long house door.

At this time, hundreds of local villagers with knives and guns suddenly poured out of the houses on both sides, surrounding Li Xiao's army of dozens of people in the center.

Li Xiao glanced at the villagers and snorted coldly.

Dressed in coarse linen and black, these indigenous people obviously look like they haven't had a bath for hundreds of years. However, they have many "control weapons" in their hands. They don't list rib difference, samurai sword, plain gun, bow and arrow, razor and so on.

This is also the actual situation of every village in Japan before the Daoshou order was implemented. You know, there were not only mountain bandits at that time, but also the famous army changed from time to time and became robbers.

Every village must also have enough force to defend itself.

Li Xiao's foot light raised their guns one after another, protected Li Xiao in the center and circled around the periphery.

Shigang Yiyu shouted, "presumptuous, sir warrior, but the local Lord, do you want to commit the following crimes and not die?"

At that time, the class concept of the Japanese was so serious that many villagers immediately felt afraid from top to bottom when they heard that the adult on the horse was not only a warrior, but also a local Lord.

At that time, there was no reason for the samurai to kill these villagers, let alone the local Lord.

The Lord, who is usually high above, only lives in the high-rise city. I didn't expect to come here in person.

With Shigang Yiyu's angry drink, many people cowered on the spot, but several people whispered: "what are you afraid of, pile it up."

Shigang Yiyu turned his head and looked at the villagers who encouraged his companions to come forward. His sword like eyes shot at the man.

The man shivered on the spot, but Shigang Yiyu didn't let him go.

Shigang pulled out his sword with a miso, but he didn't see any action. The samurai sword was already in his hand, moved his steps, and then the white light flashed past.

The knife light gathered. The agitated countryman looked at the ten centimeter long gap in his chest unbelievably, then stretched out his hand to Shigang, a feather and a finger, and directly fell to the ground to hang up.

When the villagers saw Shigang Yiyu pulling out his knife to kill, they not only didn't rush up to avenge him, but roared and cowered and took a collective step back.

Li Xiao sighed at this. As a modern man, he was not used to such careless behavior, but at that time, this was the privilege of the warrior.

This is also a kind of coercion from the superior to the inferior. The other party only needs to obey orders and obey without reasons. He just wants to resist a little and can be killed if he speaks out to justify his behavior.

Therefore, Shigang Yiyu's thunder means is also the fastest way for Li Xiao to become powerful in the hearts of these troublemakers.

At this time, in front of Li Xiao, the door of the local master's house was finally opened.

After an old man in his fifties went out, he asked, "this is Lord Li Xiao, the villain's village leader and Shiro."

Li Xiao stood on his horse, handed Jiang Ma Shisheng to himself and handed it to yousilang for a look.

After seeing Shiro again, he hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "impolite, impolite, see your excellency."

As soon as the nearby villagers heard this, they threw their weapons aside and hurriedly pressed their hands down and knelt down.

Li Xiao just said yes to this, not that he was arrogant. At that time, the warrior's attitude was like this. If he was too humble, he would make the other party afraid.

Li Xiaoyan said, "you and the people of the village come to the house to talk in detail."

Li Xiao and Shigang Yiyu entered the door of the long house together, while other standing guards stayed outside. As for those villagers, they looked at the house a few more times and soon disbanded with worry.

After entering the wooden house door, as the famous owner of the village, youba Lang's house is a herringbone shaped hand-held house. It looks good compared with the low farmhouses nearby.

Hezhang house is a unique house for mountain villagers. A small door is opened on the two floors of the house. It is used as access when there is snow under the house after heavy snow in winter.

After Li Xiao entered the house, the ground was paved with the floor, not to other villagers. The house was full of mud.

But as the famous owner of a village, his house is like this, that is, less than 50 square meters, slightly larger than other villagers' homes.

Li Xiaoan sat in front of the fire pond, and several women in the house, old and young, dressed in patched clothes, hurried from the inside. He knelt down in front of Li Xiao and said, "see you, sir."

Li Xiao saw their vests trembling and was obviously afraid of himself.

In this regard, Li Xiao just waved his head and asked them to step down.

After a while, youba Lang came to the house with six people in his village and knelt down to Li Xiao.

Youba Lang knelt down in front of Li Xiao and dared not raise his head. He said, "it's really the sin of the little people to let the adults come to the despicable village in person. The little people also understand the purpose of the adults, but at present, the village has just paid the tax this year, and it's really unable to pay it again."

Li Xiao didn't expect another balang to say this. There was obviously a misunderstanding. Li Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "I passed by and saw that the nearby farmland has not been harvested. Why did I pay the tax so early?"

Another eight Lang said with a loud voice: "return to your excellency. He is the former Lord on the river. He said he would pay this year's tax in advance, so he asked the village to pay tax in February."

"February?" Li Xiao suddenly realized that it was obvious that Fosun on the river wanted to rebel, so he prepared in advance, collected all the taxes this year, and recruited troops to use them.

But if you lose your mother, you bird man on the river, and collect all the taxes this year, doesn't it mean that my lord won't receive a dime this year.

Another eight Lang said, "please have mercy. Because the adults on the river impose taxes, the people in the village have really had a hard time. Twenty or thirty people have starved since the beginning of spring, so the villain begged you to give me a grace period of time and pay taxes after the autumn harvest."

Li Xiao said, he is not short of money now, and he can't be so cruel to force these people to pay taxes again.

They are also the people in their own territory. As a lord, or according to the Ming Dynasty, they should take good care of them as much as possible. Therefore, Li Xiao has the idea of reducing this year's tax. Anyway, he is not short of money now.

This time, in order to build Shengang City, Takeda Xinxuan allocated a large amount of military funds to Li Xiao, which was enough for Li Xiaohua. Now it was the manpower problem that bothered him most.

However, Li Xiao is not prepared to give grace and reduce their taxes so soon. Grace and prestige should be used together to make it effective.

Li Xiao nodded and said, "I'll talk about the tax collection later, but it's another eight lang."

"Oh," he replied respectfully.

"This time I want to build a city in Shengang city and need the help of the civilian husband, but your excellency ignored my orders. What's the reason?"

At this time, there was a silence for a while, and a common people around balang said: "report back to the Lord of the city, it's like this. Before, it was rumored that the Lord announced to the villages that the general enlistment was to gather the young people of the villages to build the city, and then send someone to wash the loot by taking advantage of the emptiness of the villages."

"Absurd." Li Xiao scolded angrily. Don't think that most of the rumors were spread by the jiangma family. Jiang Ma Shisheng was really unwise. He had refused to hand over his territory before. Now that Li Xiao has taken over, everyone can coexist peacefully in the future. Now he comes to stab Li Xiao in the back. Is he so stupid and can't see the situation clearly.

"It's ridiculous, but adults know."

At this time, a common man suddenly raised his head and shouted to Li Xiao.

As soon as he said this, all the people in the room were frightened. A common people dared to talk to the Lord like this. Don't you want to live?

"Hu Ding, you don't want to die." another eight Lang pulled the other party down. (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
