Yanshan Tu was the captain of Qianlong Camp and a veteran among veterans, so he naturally knew what Li Changkong was worried about.
So after hearing this, he immediately shook his head and said in denial: "Master Hou is overly worried. Although there are many mineral veins on the Japanese pirate island, the Japanese pirates' smelting technology is low and not as good as mine. It is difficult to smelt black gold and star steel!"
"So in their eyes, black gold and star steel are useless metals!"
"There's not a lot of mining for them."
"Even if miners mine it, they often have nowhere to sell it."
Li Changkong was quite surprised when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
It was really hard for him to imagine that there could be such a nation sitting on a treasure mountain without even knowing it.
It seems that any time, information gap is fatal!
Although the Japanese pirate island is small, the political power on it is not strong enough. No matter in terms of territory, population, military strength, or economic size, it cannot compare with any of the four countries.
However, if they can fully realize the power of Wujin and Star Steel, pay attention to it, study the smelting technology, fully mine and smelt the veins of Wujin and Star Steel, and forge them into armor and weapons, and form an ace army.
So relying on this ace force, the Japanese pirates may not be able to compete with all the countries in the four directions!
If you meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, you can even wait until the fight between the four countries is almost complete, and then come out to reap the benefits of the fishermen, thus occupying a vast territory, and then recuperate and recuperate, so as to gain the power of the heroes to compete with the deer and the whale to swallow the world!
Unfortunately, the information gap made all this a dream.
"If that's the case, then get ready. Let's rest where we are for three days and take the brothers to relax!"
"Three days later, the new and old troops merged into one, disrupted the order, boarded the Feiyunlou ship again, and set out to sea to the Japanese pirate island!"
"In this battle, I will capture the entire island!"
"Have you ever understood?"
Yanshan Tu was a little excited when he heard this, and even trembled all over.
Isn't it just for this purpose that he stayed here? It has been several months, and now, finally, we have waited for this day of clouds and mist, how can we not be excited?
"No!" he said excitedly immediately!
…
Just when Li Changkong and others arrived at Yizhou City and rested on the spot, there was another movement on the Japanese pirate island.
To be precise, Wokou Island is just a name for Ganren.
The aborigines here, also known as Japanese pirates among the Gan population, call it Izumo Island!
It means the place where the sun rises and the clouds roll over. It also means the original place!
As aboriginal Japanese pirates, they are generally short in stature, only about six feet tall.
Qian people are very particular about the measurement of rulers, which is different from previous dynasties. Li Changkong has studied it specially, and it is about 23 centimeters per ruler.
Six feet is just over 1.3 meters, less than 1.4 meters.
This height is really a bit... making people laugh.
You know, the common height of a Ganren is seven and a half feet, which is about one meter seven.
As for the ancients, they didn't have enough food and were not fully developed. Their average height was 1.7 meters, which was already terrifying.
If you are a child of a wealthy family, it is not difficult to grow to eight feet, which is about 1.8 meters.
Li Changkong, Zhu Ben, and Zhang Han are all of this height.
If they are some fierce generals in the army, or warriors with natural supernatural powers and strong blood, such as Jia Taisui and Li Jibei, they are more than nine feet tall!
Fully close to two meters! Just standing there feels overwhelming!
Anyway, Li Changkong paid for it himself. For someone as tall as himself, who is 1.8 meters tall, there is a high probability that he will not have the confidence to take action in front of Jia Taisui, who is 2.1 meters tall.
This is still a taller Ganren!
If it were a Japanese pirate with an average height of less than 1.4 meters, then... Li Changkong felt a little funny when he thought about that scene.
However, although the Japanese pirates were small, they also established their own culture and even gave birth to many separatist forces.
The most tyrannical among them is the Oda family!
The contemporary head of the Oda family, Oda Gen, is young, powerful and far-sighted!
For more than ten years, he led the Oda family in continuous conquests, defeating separatist forces one after another, and finally unified Izumo Island!
Oda Gen felt that his meritorious service was unprecedented, and he was afraid that he would never come after him. He also heard that the supreme leader of the Han people in the Central Plains called himself the emperor, so he called himself the Holy Tianwuji Emperor!
The Great Emperor, as the name suggests, is a title that is even more noble than the Emperor!
It is destined to be recorded in the history of Izumo and be praised for generations to come!
Under the leadership of Oda Gen, the Oda family officially dominated the entire Izumo Island and established the first unified country: Izumo Country!
Today, it has been a full year since Izumo Kingdom was first established.
In the Izumo Palace, the Holy Emperor Oda Gennaro was sitting high on the Amaterasu chair, majestic.
Amaterasu is the oldest and most widely circulated name of the great god in Izumo Island!
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a world-destroying great demon, the Yamata Snake, who was exiled by the evil Central Plains people.
The Yamata snake ran rampant on Izumo Island, injuring countless people, leaving corpses everywhere, blood flowing into rivers, and almost destroying half of the island!
Finally, when Izumo Island was about to be overwhelmed, a great god stepped forward!
He is as majestic as the sun, and his whole body is exuding a majestic holy light. According to legend, he holds a divine sword and can severely injure the Yamata Snake with just one sword strike, and kill it with another strike!
From now on, Amaterasu has become the most powerful and ancient god in the hearts of the Japanese pirates on Izumo Island!
After Oda Gen established the Izumo Kingdom, he sent people to sail sailboats to visit the Han countries in the Central Plains, so he got a lot of news.
He knows that all Han people regard the dragon as their totem, and those they sit on are dragon chairs!
And as the founder of the Izumo Kingdom and Emperor Shengten Muji, the scene was naturally not inferior to that of the Han emperor.
Therefore, we specially sent skilled craftsmen to create a gold-carved Amaterasu chair!
In Oda Gen's heart, Amaterasu is the most noble ancient god, and its status must far exceed that of the dragon totem in the Han people's country.
Naturally, his status is much higher than that of the Han emperor.
"Do you have anything to say today?" Oda Gen sat on the Amaterasu chair and asked.
For a time, the reputation was great.
Thanks to the mission to Han Chinese countries, many parts of Izumo Kingdom were learned from Han people, and even the imperial court was 80 to 90% similar.
It's just that the official, who is less than 1.4 meters tall, is wearing a long robe, which looks a bit nondescript.
"To the great emperor, I, the Izumo Kingdom, have been resting and recuperating for a year. Now the treasury is full, there are countless cockroaches, and the warriors are sharpening their swords!"
"Is it time to put it on the agenda to take over the Central Plains, which was rejected back then?" Among the many dwarfs, a warrior who was seven feet tall, almost catching up with the average height of Ganren, stood up and said.
This person is surprisingly the number one warrior in Izumo, Uesugi Taketsu!
