Warring States Eagle

Chapter 507 Deterring Neighbors

At this time, Yu Jiusheng felt very unwilling.If it wasn't for the sudden attack that brought out the best water warfare method of the Wudao navy, why would he be "forced" to hide in the city and be beaten by others.

Just when Yu Jiusheng was determined not to be reconciled, the army of the Luo family outside the city was finally concentrated.Among the army, Yu Jiushengding saw more than a dozen super long ladders carried by more than a dozen people.It was these dozen or so long ladders that made the guards in the city panic.

"My lord, why are you still hesitating? If my lord decides to fight to the death with the Luo family, I am willing to lead my retainers out of the city to compete with the opponent." Seeing that the Luo family's army had already approached the city wall, Yu Jiuchun on the side decided. said eagerly.

Yu Jiusheng Ding did not immediately respond to Yu Jiu Chun Ding, but glanced at the Luo family's army approaching outside the city, finally heaved a long sigh, and decided: "Open the city gate and surrender."

In the 14th year of Tianwen, [-] AD, in January, after several days of confrontation, Ujiu Shengding, who was besieged in Jiangchuan City, finally couldn't stand it and decided to surrender.Afterwards, the rest of the Wudao area, including Chengshan Castle, surrendered to the Luo family one after another. So far, the Luo family has completely controlled the Wudao area.And the entire Hizen was also included in the sphere of influence of the Luo family. [

The income of the Wudao area is about 32 shi, and after the development of agricultural technology and a large amount of cultivated land in the past few years, the entire Hizen has an overall income of about 20 shi.In addition, Chikuzen's income is about 55 koku, Chikugo's income is about [-] koku, and Higo's income is about [-] koku. At present, the Luo family is already a daimyo of [-] koku.I believe that with the continuous development of the Luo family's farming regulations and the accumulation of each area in two to three years, this income figure will gradually increase.

As for the navy, the three standing navy of the Luo family were finally full after they received the navy from the Wudao navy and supplemented it after some screening.Afterwards, Zhengliang redistributed the seized ships.

after allocation.The first standing squadron of the navy has 500 people, 150 early morning ships, and 45 closed ships. The captains are Sun Goro and Murakami Takashige, and the vice-commanders are Uku Moridada, Oyano Tanemitsu, and Kamizuura Takayo. The resident is Karatsu Bay was originally the seaport of the Bodo Navy.Responsible for the defense of the Genkai Nada sea area from Karatsu Bay, Huzi Bay to the coast of Hirado Island, mainly to guard against some pirates along the coast and threats from sea forces from Iki and Chikuzen.At the same time, it is also responsible for collecting certain tolls from merchant ships passing through the sea area where the family is located, and ensuring the safety of these ships.

The second standing squadron of the navy has 500 men, 180 early morning ships, and [-] closed ships.The master will be Kunatsu, and the deputy will be Fukuda Kaneji, Kamizuura Shigesada, and Sumoto Zhentong. They will be stationed at Hirado Port in Hizen Matsuura County, Shiroyama Castle in Goto Island, Egawa Castle in Goto Island, and Fukuda Castle in Heki County. The main guard areas are the waters of Hirado Island, the Goto Islands, and the coast of the Nagasaki Peninsula to guard against threats from the sea, especially the threat of naval forces in the direction of Satsuma, if necessary.Timely support the first and third standing water armies on both sides, and at the same time be responsible for collecting certain tolls from merchant ships passing through the sea area where the home is located, and ensuring the safety of these ships.

The third standing squadron of the Navy has 600 people, 170 ships from Kohaya, and 65 closed ships. The captains will be Masatora Tao and Takekichi Murakami, and the vice-commanders will be Oyano Tekyo, Shiki Shinkei, and Uku Junsada.The general station is Hara Castle in Nanhizen Plateau County. Apart from this place, the Fan Team will divide several teams to station in Oyano Castle in Uto County, Sumoto Castle in Amakusa County, Shiki Castle, and Kudama Castle. The main guard areas It is the Ariake Sea, Shimabara Bay, Tachibana Bay, Amakusa Beach, and Yatsushiro Sea to guard against threats from the sea, especially those from the Higo clans opposite Shimabara Bay, as well as the Yatsushiro Sea and Satsuma Sea.At the same time, it is responsible for collecting certain tolls from merchant ships passing through the sea area where the family is located, and ensuring the safety of these ships.

Such a large-scale naval force allowed the Luo family to completely control the entire sea area between Xuanjie Beach and Tiancao Beach along the coast of Kyushu, becoming the overlord among the naval forces of various countries in Kyushu.At the same time, forces also began to infiltrate the East China Sea.At this point, the Luo family finally calmed down the unstable factors in the southwest.

In addition to the harvest of the navy and navy ships, the Luo family also obtained several merchant ships and Dutch ships in this battle. At this time, the Luo family's cabinet already had 35 merchant ships and [-] Dutch ships. As for the small fishing boats, there were More, they will all be returned to the fishermen of the five islands one by one.

The fishermen and general citizens of these five islands will all move to the coast of the Ariake Sea to resettle. As for the waters of the five islands, only the Luo family's navy is allowed to exist from now on, and the original fields left by the five islands will be changed. Farming for some slaves sent by the Luo family or changing to military farms.

The Five Islands will no longer be open to the outside world. When merchant ships pass by, they must pass around the sea area facing the Ming Dynasty. The waters between the Five Islands, Hirado Island, and Nagasaki Peninsula will be used as the inland sea of ​​the Luo family, and no other ships are allowed. Enter.Any ship that enters the sea area designated by the Luo family will be attacked by the Luo family's navy.

Of course, in order not to affect the commercial income of the territory, Hirado Island will continue to be a free trade island, and a one-ticket system will be implemented in the sea area controlled by the Luo family.As long as the toll is paid in any sea area of ​​Luo's family, and the proof of payment within the valid time is presented when interrogated by the Luo's family's navy, they can pass in the sea area designated by Luo's family.

After handling all the affairs of the Five Islands and handing over the follow-up matters to the Cabinet for follow-up, Zheng Liang formally led the army back to Anyue City.Along with Zhengliang, there are also members of Yu Jiushengding's clan.

After all the rest of Ujiu Shengding's citizens were dispersed and moved to Hizen to settle down, Yujiu Shengding led his relatives and clansmen with less than 100 people to settle in Xiaocheng County in Hizen, where Zhengliang sealed off a small territory.Of course, due to his stubborn resistance, compared with the Wudao area of ​​more than [-] shi before, Yu Jiushengding's current territorial income is less than [-] shi.

After the family is settled, Ujiu Shengding will become the bow of the first standing navy of the Luo family, while his younger brother Ujiu Junsada will become the bow of the third standing navy of the Luo family, and Naru Shengxin will go to the Served in the Cabinet of the Roche family.

The Luo family unexpectedly sent troops to pacify the waters of the five islands in the new year. When the news reached the ears of various powerful people in Kyushu, it aroused varying degrees of repercussions.

The Shimadzu family in Satsuma, as the area closest to the Goto waters, was the first to receive news of the Goto's fall.

"Is the news accurate?" Shimazu Takahisa asked in the meeting hall of Qingshui City.

"During this time, several batches of pirates who fled from the Wudao area have revealed to our family that the Luo family is attacking the Wudao area, and just yesterday, a merchant ship passing by our family's harbor has confirmed that the Luo's family is completely in control. I have received news from the Wudao sea area." The retainer replied.

"My lord, the Luo family's attack on the Wudao waters this time has completely controlled the forces in the southwest of the Luo family." Yijiyuan Zhonglang couldn't help but sigh.The development of Luo's family has somewhat exceeded his expectations.

"What's the progress regarding the iron cannon handed down from the Luo family?" Like Ijuin Tadaro, Shimadzu Takahisa felt more and more pressured by the rapid development of this ally of the Luo family. [

"It has been found out that it was indeed obtained from a Nanman ship."

"Since this is the case, can my family find the Nanman ship? If the other party can provide a large number of iron cannons, my family will buy it even if it costs a lot of money." Shimadzu Takahisa said.

"People have been sent to investigate." Ijuin Tadaro said immediately.The iron cannons developed by the Shimadzu family have encountered many technical problems, so the Shimadzu family urgently needs to purchase a batch of iron cannons immediately. On the one hand, they can provide more samples for their research, and on the other hand, they can also invest immediately During the battle, they had also heard about the power of the Luo family's Iron Cannon Squad. It would be most suitable to use these weapons to deal with the Hayato and Hao clan who are rioting recently. (To be continued.
