132. Jiayang Military Mirror(1/2)

The country of gold...?!

Once money is involved, not many people can calmly say "I'm not interested in money."

If there is really, it must be a show-off.

There is no need to say much about the Kuroda family's samurai, their eyes turned into gold. This is true even if Qin Ming and his group were all city people who had seen the world in the metropolis.

Only Okina and Ryuma don't care.

Okita just wants to practice and fight with someone, and he has no idea of ​​money in his mind.

Ryuma felt that no matter how much gold and silver was, it was useless. Pay? Don’t think about it! Mr. Sakamoto prefers to do business that doesn’t pay.

"It is still a question whether Marco Polo has been to Japan. There are many records in the so-called "Oriental Views and Experiences", which is more like a story written by people's hearsays and his own conjectures."

Qin Ming has a masterful demeanor, although he wants to buy a large sum of Koshu gold than anyone else, and directly escape from this Japanese where the hundreds of ghosts travel at night.

"Stop talking about this kind of boasting. Since Lord Kuroda said that you have conducted in-depth research on Koshu's treasures, or should you tell me the specific information you have."

"Only by finding the treasure of Koshu can we solve the people who are interested in pouring into Koshu from the root, right, Lord Kuroda?"

"Yes..." Kuroda Nagato looked at Shiro: "Shiro, tell Lord Abe about the information we have in hand."

"yes."

Siro organized his words and said:

"After Takeda Shingen's death, Takeda Katsurai succeeded as the governor of Takeda's family. During the period of the Katsurai, the money used by Katsurai to provide samurai to reduce, and the orders were sufficient, and the weapons also decreased. All the phenomena indicate that the stock of Koshu gold was insufficient."

"So people usually believe that Takeda Katsurai's defeat and Takeda's family disappeared in history because Takeda Shingen mined domestic gold mines in large quantities. By the time Takeda Katsurai, Katsurai's gold mine could no longer meet the needs, resulting in a decline in national strength."

"Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu Kaifu, Kafai became a gold mine again because of the advancement of mining technology."

"In other words, the Takeda family could only mine the surface gold mines, and the Takeda Katsurai period had already dried up. In the Edo period, mining technology improved, and the Kafai gold mine could be re-opened, so the gold was withdrawn again."

"For this reason, the Koshu treasure has always been just a legend, because people believe that when Takeda Katsurai, the Kata gold mine had dried up and there was no excess gold and silver, so it was naturally impossible to bury a large amount of gold and silver. Later, the gold mine was controlled by the shogunate and could not be out of the water."

After a while, Qin Ming didn't know much about the treasures of Kezhou, but he had some guesses about Silang's identity.

People have always called Tokugawa Ieyasu. If this guy dares to call him directly, he must be the opponent of the Tokugawa family. He either has the ban on religion and hatred, or he respects the king and expels the barbarians and directly eliminates the Tengo Party. Although the Tengo Party is assassinating and fighting for the throne, the Mito family is ultimately a relative vassal of the shogunate, and no matter how much they fight, it still belongs to the internal forces of the shogunate.

In this way, Kuroda Nagato must have a problem, because the evidence is insufficient and cannot be moved lightly.

Siro took out a few pages of paper and said:

"This is part of my excerpt from "Jiayang Military Archive".

The Kayang Military Academy is a famous military book in the Koshu school, which mainly discusses the experience of Kafari samurai governing the army, commanding and governing, as well as their ambitions and ideals, centered on Takeda Shingen and Takeda Katsurai and his son.

You can find many scenery and small details of the time. In the morning, Qin Ming and Kondo bought a knife and bought a copy, which helps to increase their understanding of Jia Fei.

Silang pointed at the passage:

"In the second year of Tenmatsu, Takeda Katsurai was exempted from the various battles of Kazuki Arakawa Kinshan."

"In the fifth year of Tianzheng, the people of Arakawa Kinshan were exempted from all the troops again."

"In the eighth year of Tensho, Katabe Euemon's commander of Tanabe's sect, and others were exempted from all the soldiers."

"If the gold mine is exhausted and does not produce gold, why should we be exempted from service? Let the miners only eat and not work?"

Kondo was a little moved, just eating but not working? There was such a good thing in the world!

"During the period when Takeda Katsurai, Kafai was still able to dig out a lot of gold. However, at that time, Oda Nobunaga was growing strongly and the Takeda family was weak and approaching destruction, so he had to bury a large amount of gold as military funds for making a comeback in the future."

"It's a pity that the Takeda family was unable to revive in the end. This Koshu gold was gradually forgotten by everyone and had been sleeping somewhere in Kosai, and only the legend was passed down."

Everyone held their breath nervously and did not dare to speak.

According to Shiro, the Koshu treasure does exist, and it is even likely that it is the big Koshu gold that the Takeda family used to make a comeback!

Ryuma couldn't help but ask, "So where is the so-called Koshu treasure buried?"

Shiro shook his head: "If we know where the treasure of Kezhou is, we don't have to be at a loss. Just dig out the treasure and Jiafei will be purified."

"What..." Longma curled his lips.

"Don't worry." Sanako heard something in Shiro's words.

Sure enough, Shiro changed his voice and continued: "But Lord Kuroda and I have roughly locked in some places. According to the "Jiayang Military Mirror", Takeda Shingen's main activity areas were the mine sites of Jiguan Mountain, the bottom of Kawaguchi Lake and the Aokihara Sea..."

"If the scope is expanded to the period of Takeda Katsurai, there will be Tenmu Mountain where Takeda Katsurai committed suicide."

Qin Ming's heart moved, and four locations, both of them were related to Mount Fuji.

Kawaguchi Lake is one of the Five Lakes of Fuji and the only lake with islands in the lake. Aokihara Tree Sea is located at the foot of Mount Fuji. It is a famous suicide destination and has many supernatural legends.

The ship said earlier that a lot of news said that the Koshu treasure was buried in Mount Fuji.

"It seems that it is not aimless... Did you deliberately lure people to Mount Fuji?"

"Look for other clues first. If it really doesn't work, just go there."

Qin Ming thought so, and while drinking, the night banquet ended.

After leaving Honmaru, Kuroda Nagato and his remaining ministers were separated.

Qin Ming returned the gift and left with his longevity.

"Give Kondo a meal first. The banquet is too restrictive, and he must not be full."

Kondo said embarrassedly: "Just rice, two...three barrels."

After walking for a while, Qin Ming asked Xiang Sanako: "What is the specific level of Kuroda Nagai?"

Sanako looked relaxed: "From the process of him and Kondo's sword test, it should be seventh-duan Oshima."

Kondo, who was thinking about the soft white, also agreed: "He is not very strong and was shocked by me. He is not a difficult opponent."

Ryuma interrupted, "Kuroda Nagai wanted to give you a warning and humiliate us with Kondo's sword. Unexpectedly, he broke his sword instead. Without a handy sword, he could not even exert his combat power in a short period of time, so don't worry."

"That's good." Qin Ming said with a serious look: "But what I care more about is that Silang."

"That handsome boy? He seems to know a lot about Koshu treasures, but he must have concealed something from us." Sanako said in confusion: "But we have the advantage of force. If there is any mistake, just rush into Honmaru and hold Kuroda Nagato hostage. With those samurai from the Kuroda family, even Ryuma can't stop him."

"It seems like I'm very naive..." Longma muttered, he was a eight-part excuse to Xu Ji!

Qin Ming looked back at the invisible Honmaru and said in a deep voice: "After getting off the ship, Hattori Hanzo Masayoshi was one step ahead of us to explore the way, but until now, no news has been heard."

"Have you noticed that there were strange ink marks on the pages Shiro took out?"

Shannan recalled: "It's a bit...a few strokes like feathers, and it's like the tip of the pen accidentally scratching. What, is there something wrong?"

Qin Ming frowned and said:

"The arrow pattern, that is, the end of the arrow, that is, the part that is placed on the bowstring when shooting an arrow, is basically the pattern of the arrow feathers."

He paused:

"It's also the home pattern of Hattori."

Sanako said in surprise: "You mean... Hanzo has been discovered by the Kuroda family? It's even in their hands?"

Tuya had been beaten by ninjas before, and knew the ability of ninjas, and said in confusion: "It's unlikely. Ninjas that inherited the name of the half-collector are not so easy to deal with. At that time, we could find him because there were not many places to hide on the boat. On land, ninjas were not something that ordinary people could track down."

"Especially for such ninjas who have the origin of family traditions and are known as the Supreme Ninja, who knows how many despicable methods they have in their hands? Even the swordsman who is exempt from Xu Jichuan will not dare to say that they can win easily."

"But don't forget that the Hattori Ninja who had monitored the Kuroda family before had died suddenly. If one can be solved, the second one can be solved."

Qin Ming reminds everyone not to underestimate the enemy. The mysterious power of the Qizhi Dan may not be able to escape unstoppable. If Hanzo is a low-minded man, he may still be able to hold hope. Maybe he can pick the big boss alone, but the bad thing is that he is a high-minded man.

Ryuma said: "Hanzo has encountered an unexpected situation, but he can't say it is accurate..."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Qin Ming shook his head and said, "After all, the Hattori family is the confidant of the general, and Hanzo is the governor of the family. The Kuroda family has to worry about it."

"The excerpts Shiro took out may have been obtained from Hanzo. We must not only look at Kuroda Nagato and look for Koshu treasures, but also pay attention to Hanzo's clues."

............

Kuroda Nagato, who was drunk and unsteady, instantly straightened his back after Qin Ming and others left, without any sign of drunkenness on his face.

"Amakusashi Shiro, Shiro, is there any connection between these two names?"

The handsome young man smiled and said, "He was originally named Shiro Mada, but later adopted him at Amakusa's house and changed to Shisato."

"I still doubt whether you are really Amakusa Shitaku, after all..."

"After all, it's been more than two hundred years, right?"

"Forget it, just think you are right." Kuroda Nagato asked without much confusion, "According to your instructions, the people I sent successfully fabricated the legend of the drowning daughter, and even let the woman dress up as the drowning daughter. We also officially met tonight. How many have you tested Abe Qinming?"

Before Amakusashi's answer, he took the lead and said, "I think he is quite concerned about Kabuki. The Toshiba Sumizu who is traveling with him seems to be a member of Sakamoto Ryuma, so there is no need for Onmyoji to do his best for the shogunate. Maybe he just goes through the motions. Should he give him some women? The witch is a specialty of Kafari..."

"No woman in Kofu Castle can compare to that lady from the Chiba family, let alone the appearance you see, and there is no simple one who can become an Onmyoji."

Amakusashi thought of something, and seemed to be in lingering fear. She shook her head and shook her distracting thoughts. After a while, she said: "The upper class of the shogunate is discussing the feasibility of the Gongwu fusion with the court. There are too many restless people in this world like you and me. They have to join forces. At least before the dust settles, this Onmyoji, which represents both the shogunate and the court, will solve all obstacles."

"As for the drowning daughter... I can't tell from the drowning daughter how he used to repel monsters, but the monster that sucked a person was indeed gone. It might be a special method of repelling, or it might be that someone else took action, or I don't know enough about the monsters."

"But no matter what the result is, we need to be careful."

Kuroda Nagato pondered: "Can you consider killing them all directly in Kofu Castle? Even the Onmyoji is a flesh-bodied mortal body. Anyway, they have been attacked on the way to the city, so just rude to others. Didn't the Mito Tengo Party come too? Ichihashi Keiki was taken down by Abe Qinaki himself."

Amakusa Shisato rolled his eyes: "It's as simple as you think."
