Warring States Eagle

"Drive! Drive!"

Under the scorching sun, a soldier who looked like a detective from the Luo family rode a horse and ran like a gust of wind along the main avenue running north-south in the castle town of Xuefucheng, and immediately stirred up billows of dust.

Kuro walked quietly under the shade of trees beside the street.On his left is the main avenue running from north to south in the castle town, and on his right is a row of brick and tile houses.Under the scorching sun, everything is listless, and the green leaves of the cotton trees in front of some houses have also changed color.

It was already the beginning of June, and this year's spring plowing had just ended, and immediately the internal activities of the Luo's family became more intensive, which can be seen from the frequent appearance of some of the Luo's family's horse-riding scouts coming in and out of Xuefu City these days.As a secret work of Bodo hidden in the territory of the Luo family, at the beginning of this year, Kuro also moved from the castle town of Kishidake Castle to the castle town of Xuefu Castle to settle down, and then secretly contacted Juzi, the maid of Taijiu's family again.Today, he went to the place where Juzi stored the information to obtain information about the latest situation of Luo's family.

It's not that he wants to come out to take risks during the daytime to collect information, it's just because the governor of the Luo family was assassinated in the castle town last year, so from that time on, it is not allowed to wander around in the castle town after sunset, otherwise he will be punished. Severe interrogation by the castle town patrol.So Kuro had no choice but to come out at this time.

"Judging from the last information, the Luo family is already preparing to take action against Iki Island in July. I hope my brothers and sisters will be fine by then." Kuro was thinking as he walked.

After walking along the north-south main road for a while, he turned into a small alley in the commercial area of ​​the castle town. This alley is next to the largest and most majestic Roche House in the town.It is usually used as a place for loading and unloading goods of Roche House.Generally, there are very few people staying here at this time.After entering the alley.Jiulang quickly walked to the side of a weed in the alley, stopped at a place marked with a special mark, and then put a hand into the weed as if nothing had happened, but after a while, his His face couldn't help but change, because he didn't even find the note that should have appeared.

"Is this what your Excellency is looking for?" Just as Jiulang was trying to grope for it again, a strange voice came from behind him.Jiulang was taken aback immediately, just now he carefully observed that there was no one around.Why did a stranger suddenly appear now?

"You don't need to look for it. We have been following you back from Tangjin? You are the last person to be arrested, so be sensible and surrender." The stranger said lightly to Kuro who hastily turned around, holding a A roll made of white paper, this is the information that Orange usually gives to Kuro.

As soon as he heard Tang Jin being mentioned by the other party, Jiu Lang was already shocked. Yesterday he met a spy from the same family there, and the other party even knew about it?In the midst of panic, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that both ends of the alley were already guarded, and the other party was obviously very familiar with their whereabouts.

"Unexpectedly, we thought we did it very secretly. As a result, the other party has been monitoring us for a long time!" Thinking of this, Jiulang's legs softened and he sat on the ground directly...

At the beginning of June of the 19th year of Tianwen ([-]).The busy spring plowing season is finally over.After nearly a year of recuperation and the implementation of the laws of the Luo family, the Bungo and Chikuzen regions that were included in the territory of the Luo family last year finally recovered from the war and entered the right track of development.Of course, it will take at least another one to two years to fully integrate into the Luo family's system.

Surrounding powerful aspects.The Luo family's diplomatic strategy in the Shikoku area did not make much progress. Except for the alliance with the Xitusi family, other powerful families such as the Yiyi family and the Kono family all took a wait-and-see attitude towards the olive branch thrown by the Luo family.

On the contrary, after the truce between the Shimadzu family and the noble families in the North Satsuma region, they once again pointed their guns at the noble families in the Osumi region, and the first target was the Ganfu family, the strongest family in the Osumi region.It is said that the cause of the conflict between the two parties originated from a banquet.At that banquet, Ijiin Tadaro, a retainer of the Shimadzu family, persuaded Ganfu Kanto, the governor of the Ganfu family, to change the family crest to Crane Soup (the Ganfu family’s family crest was themed with two cranes, and the Crane Soup was naturally their scruples ), and angered Gan Fu Jiantong, and successfully provoked Gan Fu's family.As a result, the relationship between the two families deteriorated rapidly. Ganfu Kantong sent his wife (Takahisa Shimadzu's younger sister) back to the Shimadzu family, and then began to prepare for war in the territory. Mobilize the army and prepare to attack Kajiki Castle at the junction of Osumi and Satsuma.

Now that the external situation is relatively stable and the domestic situation has stabilized, Zheng Liang immediately prepared to attack Iki Island.For this attack, the Luo family has been preparing for several months.Before the official battle, it is natural to confuse the enemies of Iki Island.Therefore, Mr. Zheng Liang sent false information such as that the Luo family will launch an attack on Iki Island in July through Taijiu Ling's maid Juzi, using Bodo's intelligence system hidden in the Luo family's territory to send back to Iki Island. When it is about to go out, it will destroy the entire Bodo intelligence network in one fell swoop.

After completely destroying this intelligence network, on June 19, [-], the navy fleet assembled at Karatsu Bay, Luo's home, officially set out for Iki Island.

For the current Luo family's navy, they still adopt the main combat mode of boarding battle. The ships are basically equipped with weapons such as flying claws, rams, and rattan cards, while personal weapons are still long knives. , bows and arrows, and spears.Of course, Zhengliang knew that according to the development of history, with such a fighting method, the Luo family's navy would not be able to compete with the Murakami and Awaji navy, and might even be overtaken by the fully developed Shima navy. While imitating the roasted jade of the Seto Navy in the game in the workshop (the current Seto Navy has not developed such a technology), it is also preparing to equip the Navy with iron cannons.Of course, with the current limited number of iron cannons in Luo's family, we can only temporarily let the water army cooperate with the iron cannon squadron to attack, instead of allowing the water army to have its own independent iron cannon ashigaru.

The so-called baker was originally a kind of cooking pottery with handles on both sides, which can be used as a wok. It is said that it was originally used to burn taro.Later, Murakami Suijun filled it with gunpowder, used a matchlock as a lead, and then used a rope to thread the ear handle to make the most primitive sakii shell.When using it, light the fire rope first, and when it is about the same time, throw it out with the rope. On the one hand, it will kill the enemy with bursting pottery fragments, and on the other hand, it will set the enemy ship ablaze.During the first battle of Kizukawaguchi in history, Kuki Yoshitaka was unable to cope with such an offensive, and almost all the [-] warships under his command were wiped out.

In fact, the technical content of this kind of baking is not high, and the difficulty of imitation is very small. It is a must-have for home travel, murder and arson.The biggest difficulty lies in ensuring the supply of gunpowder.Fortunately, Luo's family has also stored a certain amount of gunpowder now, so it is still enough to support this time.
