After years of exploration, the Joint Fleet has already had several mature tactics.

Facing this Otomo Navy, they adopted the barbaric method of "lifting high and fighting high". After a fierce round of shelling, they directly hit the fleeing Japanese warships, and then fired with the advantage of the flintlock rifle.

After this combination of punches, most of the hundreds of warships that were originally wandering had sunk. The powerful Otomo Navy was already a false proposition, and there was no power to fight back from beginning to end, and in the end there was no intact warship.

The bright sunshine shines in this bay, exposing the embarrassment of Otomo Navy to the public.

Gu...

Mori Fumimoto looked at Otomo Navy's embarrassing appearance, and saw with his own eyes that Yoshioka Changzeng was bombarded with cannonballs, and he couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly.

Seeing such a powerful joint fleet, he was shocked and deeply impressed by the joint fleet.

With such terrifying combat power, if the Maori family dares to be enemies with this joint fleet from China, their Maori family will be destroyed at any time.

Fortunately, their Maori family has maintained good trade relations with the United Merchants over the years, and now they have rented Hot Spring to the United Merchants. The relationship between the two parties is undoubtedly further.

As soon as he thought of this, he secretly thanked how wise it was to take the initiative to seek joint fleet rescue. Not only did he severely defeat the Otomo's naval army, but he also found a door god for Ishimi Yin Mine.

With such a powerful joint fleet stationed here, who would dare to attack their Maori family Ishimi Silver Mine?

"This... is so scary!"

On the top of the city, Nobunaga Kumatani and other generals watched the joint fleet encirclement and suppression of the Otomo Navy from a close distance. As the Otomo warships in the bay sank one by one, their eyes widened and they were deeply impressed by the powerful joint fleet.

In their eyes, Otomi Navy, who was extremely powerful, was like a sheep in front of the Joint Fleet, which showed the terrifying combat power of the Joint Fleet.

"We surrender!"

"Please spare our lives!"

"Just let us do whatever we want!"

...

As the unlucky Yoshioka Changzeng was bombarded and killed, the remaining Otomo Navy also raised their flags to surrender, hoping to exchange this for a chance to survive.

After so many years of war, except for a few retainers who have been loyal to the Otomo family for generations, many soldiers of the Otomo family joined the Otomo family camp either forced or tempted.

Born in this chaotic world, even the most powerful Japanese samurai, they need to choose their masters and live there. Ordinary people have no other options to survive.

Now facing such a powerful joint fleet, they chose to surrender for the sake of making money but would not feel ashamed, and their eyes even showed a hint of desire.

Especially in their culture, a culture that advocates the strong is flowing through the bones. Now the United Fleet from China is undoubtedly the strongest in the world and is undoubtedly a good choice.

If they can join this powerful joint fleet this time, they will be a blessing from disaster and find the most powerful head of the family in this troubled times.

"If you surrender, you will be included!" Hai Batian saw a large number of Ojo navy surrenders, but he was not surprised at all, and waved his hand.

In fact, this situation is not the first time. In recent years, the United Merchants not only have recruited Japanese prisoners of war, but also many indigenous people in Nanyang and other places.

It is not that the United Merchant Group wants to erect a chastity arch, but as the United Merchant Group develops rapidly, it requires more bottom-level sailors and construction workers.

These prisoners of war are usually strong people, both as pioneers in combat and as cheap labor, but they can effectively solve the manpower problem of the joint business group.

As for the personnel recruited by the Ming Dynasty, they were engaged in more technical jobs, especially the flintlock gun shooters, who always insisted on using their own people.

This is true that the United Business Group also has an effective management method for personnel, constantly absorbing personnel to strengthen their own strength.

As the Otomo Navy surrendered one after another, the joint fleet also started the incorporation work and arranged the group of people who survived luck to the prisoner-of-war camp.

Haibatian's warship slowly sailed to Wenquanjin Wharf, but was preparing to take over the defense here in person and become the new owner of this territory.

The corpses at the pier were still lying everywhere, but as time went by, the corpses had begun to turn black and rot, especially the body began to smell the stench of corpses.

In order to prevent spreading diseases such as plague, cleaning is already started at this time. The best way is undoubtedly cremation or burial of soil.

Novina Kumaya had no joy of victory on his face, and he led the generals to Mori Hiromoto report: "Young head, the old lady just sent an order to return to the royal city immediately!"

Huh?

When Hai Batian heard the news, he turned his head thoughtfully and looked at Maori Hiromoto.

Judging from the latest information, the news of Maori Yuanzu's death was indeed caused by someone's intentional dissemination. The old fox, who was praised as the God of the Warring States Period, still exists in the world.

But now the old lady suddenly rushed to recall Maori Hiroi back to the royal city, so Maori Yu is likely to have not had much time and is even dead now.

Judging from the current situation, once Maori Yuan is really dead, it will be difficult for Maori Huiyuan alone to support such a large Maori family.

Especially for this Ishimi Silver Mine, which has an annual output of 500,000 taels, not to mention that the Otomo family will be eyeing it, many other forces may not give up on this piece of fat, and will undoubtedly be under tremendous external pressure by then.

"Kumaritan Nobunata, you will immediately withdraw your troops from the mine and leave it to the United Business Group to guard it!" Maori Hiromoto realized the seriousness of the problem, but he still abides by the contract and issued an order to Kumatantan Nobunata with a calm face.

Kumaya Nobunaga had just learned the reason for the joint business group to take action, and he was unwilling to stay here again. He even bowed respectfully, "Abide by the order!"

After Mauri Huiyuan made arrangements, he bowed apologetically to Hai Batian and said, "Sea ship owner, you have taken many actions this time. I, Mauri Huiyuan, thanked me here! But if you have something at home, I have to rush back to the royal city immediately and leave here!"

"Young head, the old head has handed over a huge sum of money to our joint business group for safekeeping earlier. Please rest assured about the credibility of our joint business group! As long as you come with the old ship owner's deposit certificate, we will definitely not deduct points, and will protect you well. We can even arrange you to the Ming Dynasty to avoid disaster!" Hai Batian knew that Maori Huiyuan's return this time was a blessing and unpredictable fortune, so he reminded him seriously.

The United Business Group has now entered the second stage. After accumulating a huge amount of wealth, they also intend to become the largest financial institutions in the East China Sea and Nanyang.

These lords born in troubled times would inevitably feel a sense of crisis. Therefore, while promoting gold notes to replace Japanese gold and silver as official currency, they also accepted the custody commissions of many lords.

The United Business Group also attaches great importance to credibility. Faced with the family of Daimai, Japan who fled, they were sure to fulfill their promise to repay the gold and also provided refuge for these fugitives.

The same is true. If Maori Hiromoto is defeated and fled in the future, the joint business group will definitely keep their promise and hand over all the deposited silver to Maori Hiromoto.

Maori Hiromoto felt Hai Batian's kindness and his eyes seemed extremely firm: "I believe in the credibility of the business group! If this day really happened, I would definitely come to get this money and make a comeback with this money!"

"I hope this day is not available!" Hai Batian looked at Maori Hiromoto, who was in high spirits of fighting, but said sincerely.

Maori Hiromoto was slightly stunned at first, and then he responded seriously: "I also hope this day is not available! My Maori family is willing to unite with the Chinese business for generations and forever, so I will say goodbye first!"

"The sea route may not be safe now, so I will send a team to escort you!" Hai Batian intended to maintain a good relationship with the Maori family, and immediately arranged a fleet to escort the way.

"Thank you!" Maori Hiromoto now only has one warship he is riding on. There are indeed relatively high risks at sea, so he expressed his gratitude to Authentic.

As Maori Hiromoto left, Kumatani's army also withdrew from Ishimi Silver Mine, and this hot spring Ryu, with a population of thousands, naturally fell into the hands of the United Merchants Group.

Although the land here is not worth much, the women here are not worth much, but their joint business group can take root here with justification and master the portal of Ishimi Silver Mine.

In the early years, it was not realistic for the United Merchants to swallow this silver mine, at least it had to pay a huge price.

But after so many years of growth, once the Maori family is really destroyed, they will undoubtedly get the moon first, but they can seize the Shijian Silver Mine in one fell swoop.

Of course, the current joint business groups no longer need to simply pursue wealth, so everything goes with the flow. The Shijian Silver Mine, which has an annual output of 500,000 taels, will not let the joint business groups lose their footing.

The goal of the United Business Group is always to the entire Japan. It not only needs to squeeze huge profits from Japan, but also to deeply root its roots in this soil.

That's true. Hot Spring Tsu now seems to have no economic value, but it is a big step for the joint business group to try to master Japan.

The next morning, the body at the dock had been disposed of.

After Liang Yi sent personnel to assist in the management of Hot Spring, Hai Batian led the joint fleet to set off, intending to go to the Tokyo Circle east of Honshu Island.

Although Otomo and Maori in the west are both the great lords of Japan, the land in the west is too barren and the population is quite small. This is why Japan's Tokyo circle is more unique and is a place that is easier to be born and dominate the Japanese lord.

After so many years of careful management, the United Business Group has long become the guest of many lords in the Tokyo Circle, and has already extended its tentacles there.

A few days ago, the United Merchant Group was invited by several major lords to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Oda Nobunaga.

Originally, their joint business groups could not participate in such wars. After all, their joint business groups would rather make money in the war than participate in the war.

However, the third lady had already led a fleet to the Tokyo Circle, and even brought the ninjas she had trained over the years. Hai Batian also decided to join in the fun.

Although he didn't know what arrangements the strategist Lin had, he believed that the situation in the Tokyo Circle in Japan was also under the control of Lord Lin, and this small Japan would completely become the biggest profit growth point for their joint business group.

As for Japan's desire to unify and this country wants to end the situation of hegemony, I'm afraid it's really going to wait for another hundred years!

Time quietly came to December, and it was snowing heavily in the capital.

The sensational snowflakes fell from the ink sky, and the roofs and streets of the capital were covered with thick snow, and the entire ancient city seemed to be covered with a layer of cotton blanket.

The courtyard in front of Wenyuan Pavilion was swept out of an aisle by the pavilion officials, but there were still few people coming and going here, and the main loft showed a sense of majesty.

The copper basins in the various cabinets had already burned red charcoal fires, and there was a pot of anti-dry water next to them, making the room look warm as spring.

Lin Weiran, wearing a python robe, sat upright in front of the table. His eyes became deeper and his beard was getting bigger and bigger, and he was busy dealing with the memorial at hand.

With Xu Jie leaving and Li Chunfang is a person who truly loves the people, although he will inevitably encounter certain obstacles, he has been able to show his strength in the past six months.

It is impossible to change this decadent dynasty in one go. Faced with all kinds of complex national diseases, it is necessary to use his governing wisdom, which is the real test of being a leader.

It has to be admitted that compared with the struggle in the court, how to bring a country to the top of the world is the real big problem.

"Master, Secretary Ma asks for a visit!" Chen Jingbang walked in and said respectfully.

Lin Weiran continued to vote for the memorial in his hand and said lightly: "Take him in!"

"Gemaster Lin, the gold in Yunnan has not arrived in the capital yet due to the weather, but the emperor has urged him several times!" After Ma Sen came in to see him, he immediately said straight to the point.

Lin Qingran knew very well that Longqing was no longer the King Yu who was determined to be a virtuous king, nor was he as cautious as the first to ascend to the Dabao. Now he is becoming more and more like an insatiable emperor.

Because Masen refused Longqing's lion's words again and again, and the position of the Minister of Revenue of the Emperor's Protector Party was eyeing him, Longqing had already thought of replacing Masen.

Lin Qingran thought for a moment and made a decision: "You contact the United Money Bank. If the emperor urges him again, you can propose to use this Yunnan gold as a guarantee to let the United Money Bank issue bonds too much!"

"Old Ge, is there really no problem with the bond matter?" Ma Sen's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately asked with concern.

Since opening the magic box of "debt borrowing", Longqing has found several reasons to issue bonds, resulting in the debt flowing outside being close to one million taels.

Not to mention that the huge amount of the two sessions of the Chinese People's Congress made the Ming Dynasty's finances worse, whether Longqing can fulfill his promise to repay his debts is a big problem, and this is undoubtedly a potential bomb.
