Kawasaki Island, south of yanzaki city.

The dense fog of qianquchuan is hazy, and you can't see your fingers. Once the fog rises, it won't dissipate for a long time.

Locals call this fog curtain fog. This kind of curtain fog, like hanging a curtain, will generally obscure the surrounding scenery.

This scene of heavy fog hanging over the sky unconsciously made Takeda Xinxuan think back on the tragic war in the middle of Sichuan island in the past three years.

In the morning of the Qing Dynasty, Shangshan Qianxin's empress Vietnam army was killed out of the thick fog. Later, the war records of Jiayue described the military appearance of the Vietnamese army at that time, such as thunder and lightning in the sky and hot fog in the earth. Its action was like a demon.

Thinking of the scene of the invasion of the Vietnamese army, Takeda shinxuan reached out and waved gently to drive away the fog invading the array screen.

Faced with Takeda Xinxuan's problem, fanfuhuchang thought for a while and said, "Lord, it is obvious that Shangshan Huihu proposed to make peace because he has learned that Li Xiao has captured Chengsheng city. After Shangshan Huihu learned that our army has gained a foothold in the flying country, it is no longer necessary for him to lead his army to contain the main force of our army on the island of central Sichuan."

Takeda shinxuan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm not asking you the reason for peace, but whether I want to agree to Huihu's request for peace?"

Ma Chang's letter room was on one side and said: "Sir, we have been facing off with Shangshan family for nearly two months. The two sides have fought dozens of small wars and each other has a victory or defeat, but the combat strength of the Vietnamese army is still as strong as before.

The minister said frankly that if our army fought a decisive battle with the Vietnamese army, the chances of victory and defeat of both sides would be the same, and it is likely to repeat the outcome of the last joint battle on the island of central Sichuan, in which both sides lost. "

Hearing that machangxinfang mentioned the last joint war on the island of central Sichuan, Takeda shinxuan flashed his eyes and asked, "what do you mean, the time for a decisive battle is not yet here?"

"That's right," said the racecourse letter, lowering his head.

Fan fuhuchang also agreed with the opinion of the racecourse. He said: "Lord, I know you want to fight a decisive battle to defeat the Vietnamese rear army and clear up the great trouble that prevents you from going to Luoyang. However, we must not act too hastily. And according to the officials, our army should not fight a decisive battle, but should quickly negotiate peace with the Vietnamese rear army."

"Why?" Takeda asked.

Fan fuhuchang explained: "Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the foot lighters have been recruited from the farmland and have been in the army for two months. They all want to go home to work in agriculture, otherwise they will not be enough to make a living next year. As a result, the morale of the army has become unstable. Moreover, like Jiafei and Xinnong, they all rely on farming as their main income, unlike the convenience of sea trade in Vietnam. Therefore, the Shangshan family can delay the war for a long time, but our Takeda family can't, In this way, the production in the territory has been delayed. It must be very difficult for the people in the territory this year. "

Hearing this, Takeda Xinxuan nodded and said, "Fanfu, you're right. I'll reduce the local tax this year and exempt the people from the pain of labor."

Fanfu Huchang and machangxinfang said together, "Lord, if you can do this, Jiaxin people will be grateful."

Takeda shinxuan waved his hand. His move was also a rogue move. Recently, the mining volume of Jiafei Jinshan has been greatly reduced.

He can no longer support a series of military operations such as war with Jinshan's abundant financial resources as before. Jiafei and Xinnong are not Vietnam's back coast. Salt needs to be trafficked from abroad, and the income from land trade is much less rich than that of the coast.

At present, Takeda Xinxuan's annual tribute income has been very dependent on the farming of Jiafei and Xinnong in China. Of course, if the domestic tax is reduced, the life of the natural people can be improved, but for the Takeda family who now rely on agricultural annual tribute, the income will shrink.

Therefore, in terms of the current situation in Jiayue, although the Takeda family has a slight advantage in the strategic situation, it is inferior to the Shangshan family in terms of the annual tribute income. If it is a long-term battle, it can't endure Shangshan's modesty.

Here, Takeda Xinxuan had to envy his lifelong enemy, yuehou dragon Shangshan Qianxin.

Shangshan Qianxin's annual tribute income in China is only a part of farming.

In the latter Vietnam alone, its important financial revenue comes from the green ramie trade. The "Ming Jia Jin" (transaction tax) collected by the latter Vietnam from the green ramie merchants and the "before the ship lane" (port entry tax) collected from the cargo ships transporting green ramie each year bring a lot of income to Shangshan Qianxin.

In addition to other important trade at sea, Vietnam also has yuyechuan shipping revenue of Beilu and Kanto economy, which is also a lot of money.

Even many people think that the Takeda family has always had the upper hand in Jinshan's income, and Shangshan Qianxin is even better than Takeda Xinxuan.

Sadu Jinshan, known as the No. 1 Jinshan in Japan, was really put into use during the period of Shangshan Jingsheng, and has not been developed during the period of Qianxin. However, even though Sadu Jinshan has not been developed, Shangshan Qianxin has surpassed Jiafei Jinshan only by virtue of the income of Gaogen Jinshan in Yanchuan Prefecture and Shangtian Yinshan in Yuzhao Prefecture.

In the second year of Yonglu, Shangshan Qianxin sustained the war and the people's life was poor, so he issued a tax reduction order in the collar.

After Vietnam, the labor and land rent were exempted, but the horse transmission, lodging and delivery, and green ramie were still retained. In this way, the economy in shangshanqian's area was not greatly affected. The next year, there was still room to launch, the battle of 100000 troops besieging Beitiao's xiaotianyuan, and the fourth joint war in Central Sichuan.

Thinking of the long years of war, leading the livelihood of the domestic people has become more and more difficult. Takeda Xinxuan thought that if he did not rely on Jinshan and increased the taxes of leading the domestic people, such an act would only kill the chicken to get the egg.

Takeda Xinxuan's ambition to seek Shangluo and dominate the world, but he had to give way to the current domestic situation. It is not a pity that he missed the opportunity to defeat Shangshan Qianxin. With his poor physical condition, I wonder if he can wait until the day when his ambition is paid off.

Takeda shinxuan sighed silently and said, "in that case, agree to the request of Shangshan family and make peace with Huihu."

Fanfu Huchang, Ma Changxin, agreed in unison.

Then Machang Xinfang continued: "my Lord, in fact, the Vietnamese rear had to retreat this time. Lord Li Xiao made great contributions. With hundreds of people defeating the Saito family's invasion, he not only saved the Shengang City, but also captured the Shengcheng city of Yuezhong City, and opened up 15000 stone high land for his family. Such war merit should be rewarded."

When Fanfu Huchang heard Ma Changxin say so, his eyes flashed.

As a teacher of Takeda shenglai, Li Xiao has attracted the attention of Takeda Yixin and fan fuhuchang before. Li Xiao played an important role in the battle of baigenshan and yanjucheng cage, which Takeda shenglai fought against Shangshan Qianxin twice.

After the expedition, Changjing of Shanxian County, as the general general, praised Li Xiao's military strategy in front of Fanfu Huchang, and was somewhat ashamed of himself.

If Takeda shenglai had such a person to assist, the legitimate position of his highness Yixin would be even more dangerous. Therefore, fan fuhuchang regarded Li Xiao as a great danger.

At the thought of this, fanfuhuchang would come out to obstruct him anyway. He said to Takeda Xinxuan: "My Lord, Li Xiao is now the Lord of Shengang city. He also has five thousand stone high knowledge and deeds of Feiyu country, and also receives a thousand straight salaries from his family. If you seal the 15000 stone high knowledge and deeds of Shengcheng City, Yuezhong City, he can become an important genealogy of his family. Li Xiao jails people (ronin of other countries) He has served his family for only three years. His promotion is too fast. Even Lord Zhentian yidezhai and Lord Xiaofan Xianchong have been compared by him. "

"So I suggest that the Lord send another minister to the Shengcheng city of Yuezhong City, which can also help Lord Li Xiao resist the military potential of Yuezhong."

Ma changxinfang took a look at the prosperity of the food and the tiger. He also knew his intentions, although he remained neutral in the struggle between righteousness and faith.

However, machangxinfang has always been on a case by case basis, that is, he knows that it is not easy to intervene in this matter, but he still speaks frankly: "Our family always rewards meritorious people and is never stingy. It's reasonable for Li Xiao to make such a great contribution. I have a deep understanding with Li Xiao. This person is the best choice in our family regardless of military strategy and bravery. Except him, other family officials of our family can't get a foothold in Vietnam."

Seeing that the horse farm Xinfang objected to his opinion, he immediately blushed and retorted loudly: "the horse farm adult talks too much to exaggerate Li Xiao's strength. Although Li Xiao is a good general, there are not no people who surpass him in his military strategy family. How can it be said that no one can gain a foothold in Vietnam except Li Xiao alone."

"My Lord, Li Xiao is not from Jiafei, but also from the Ming Dynasty. His origin is unclear, so we must guard against it. 20000 Shi's knowledge and deeds are already senior officials of the family. If he is granted the seal rashly, I'm afraid other officials will criticize him."

The horse farm letter room snorted and argued again.

At this time, Takeda shinxuan reached out and waved, indicating that they didn't have to quarrel.

At the racecourse, Fanfu apologized for his quarrel in front of Takeda Xinxuan.

Takeda shinxuan turned his back and looked at the thick fog outside the array curtain. He said for a long time: "yes, it has been three years. Three years ago, it was in bafanyuan. At that time, Shangshan Huihu rushed into the array with a knife. He was brave and unstoppable. If Li Xiaoting hadn't come to save him, I believe Xuan's military luck would end here. I think it's really fast. Li Xiao has been an official for three years."

Hearing what Takeda Xinxuan said, both the racecourse and Fanfu understood what he meant.

Takeda Xinxuan continued: "regardless of Li Xiao's identity, he has saved me, Xinxuan, and shenglai. He fought in Baigen mountain, yanjucheng and shanhuihu. It can be seen that his loyalty to my Takeda family is beyond doubt

Maybe some people don't admit it, but in the eyes of Xin Xuan, his military strategy and bravery are unmatched by few people in his family. "

"He must be rewarded for his contributions this time. This Yuezhong city is 15000 stone high. Let him be granted to Li Xiao. He will be promoted from a senior general to a family elder, and apply to the imperial court for an official position."

"Oh!"

Listening to Takeda Xinxuan's final decision, fan fuhuchang and Ma changxinfang agreed in unison, but they thought differently from each other.

Finally, under Takeda Xinxuan's words, the matter of Li Xiaoan blocking Vietnam was finally settled.

The next day, the Takeda family and the Shangshan family reached a secret collegial agreement.

After the collegial discussion, shangshanhuihu didn't stop too much, and then led the troops back to chunri mountain city.

However, Takeda shinxuan stayed in Chuanzhong island for several days.

Three days later, Takeda Xinxuan made a Dharma for the joint battle of the island in Central Sichuan.

On behalf of the first army, Xin Xuan went to the grave to burn incense and clap his hands. Twenty three monks chanted Scriptures for the dead.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and men of the first army joined hands in front of the tomb of soldiers and men on the island of central Sichuan to worship and pay tribute to the dead.

Those killed in the battle of Chuanzhong Island, Zhu Jiaohu, a senior general of the Takeda family, Zhu Jiaochang, the second son of chulu Yezhong, and chulu yexinchang wept on the spot.

Yuezhong, city born city.

Li Xiao now stands on the Tianshou Pavilion of Chengsheng Chengben pill and looks at the territory under his feet with complacency.

Chengsheng City, also known as snake tail City, is built on the West Bank of Sichuan. The triple curved wheel design covers more than half of the hills. In addition, the earth bridge on the city, the pill horse, the double Hukou and the artificial cutting cliffs are all conducive to defense.

Seeing this, Li Xiao could not help but secretly rejoice in his good luck.

A month ago, in the first World War outside the city, Li Xiao broke Saito's divine protection army, killed more than 300 people and asked for Saito's basic human head with the battle method of the Western array.

As soon as Saito Riki died, Saito's family, who had lost the governor, immediately fell into civil strife.

Li Xiao followed the trend and forced Chengsheng city with the momentum of great victory. Saito's family was distracted under the great defeat, while Saito Xinli, the son of Saito liki, was only 11 years old and couldn't make up his mind when he was in panic.

Therefore, after several senior officials of Saito's family discussed, they took a few relatives with them, and took the young master Saito Xinli to flee overnight and go to Toyama city. Saito Xinli went to the post of the protector of the public God.

When they left, they were very hasty. They even forgot to set fire to the city, so Li Xiao took the intact city without effort.

Otherwise, if you want Li Xiao to attack the city, according to his previous estimation, you can only win it if you are prepared to pay a certain price and send a Ninja Team to attack secretly.

In the past month, in addition to strengthening the city defense and being wary of the military trend in the direction of Shenbao family, Li Xiao has sent people around to the famous masters near Chengsheng city to announce that the city has changed its flag and now belongs to the territory of Takeda family.

All the masters near Chengsheng City obeyed Li Xiao and promised to pay him this year's annual tribute.

After that, Takeda Xinxuan issued a reward to Li Xiao. Takeda Xinxuan granted him the security and blocking document of Chengsheng city territory, promoted Li Xiao to the elder of his family, and he applied to the imperial court for an official position.

After this series of events, the confidence of Li Xiao's family in Li Xiao reached the peak in an instant and reached the level of explosion.

Although Li Xiao is a foreign man now, the old status of the Takeda family means that he is qualified to participate in the central decision-making of the Takeda family and can lead the army as a general.

At that time, for Japan, more than 10000 stone high could be called Daming. At this level, Li Xiao was also a Daming elder of Takeda family.

Of course, this does not count. It is equivalent to the hand of tens of thousands of stone high Shengang Yinshan.

Twenty thousand stone high is the power of Li Xiaoming. Generally speaking, four to eight hundred agricultural soldiers can be mobilized in wartime.

As for Dan Ma's official position, but the state of Ma lies in the mountain. On the head of BoMo, it is so far away from Xinnong of Takeda family.

However, Ma Shou had nothing to do with Li Xiao's current territory, but it was also a Japanese rule at that time. On the premise that the public had declined, the symbolic meaning of the official name represented the practical meaning, but it was good to say.

However, at that time, they used the official title to call each other's names. For example, others called the people's Department of racecourse, and his official position was Shaofu of the people's department. In addition, fan fuhuchang was called fan Fubing, and his official title was Shaofu of the people's department. (to be continued.
