Takeshi Uesugi's reputation as the best warrior in Izumo is not just a boast, but a real achievement!
It can be said that the reason why Oda Gen was able to defeat many separatist forces, unify Izumo Island and establish Izumo Country.
Takeshi Uesugi can be said to have made the greatest contribution!
With his height of seven feet, coupled with his superb sword skills, on the battlefield of Izumo Island, facing those dwarfs who were only about six feet on average, he could kill gods when God blocked him, and Buddha when he blocked Buddha.
After the establishment of the Izumo Kingdom, Taketsu Uesugi even became a general!
It can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
Recently, rumors have even spread in Izumo that Oda Gen intends to marry his only daughter, Oda Nagaei, the most beautiful woman in Izumo, to Uesugi Taketsu!
This shows the status of Taketsu Uesugi in Izumo Country!
And with Uesugi Takeshi, the Uesugi family has become the second largest family in Izumo Country after Oda!
When the Izumo Kingdom was first established, Taketsu Uesugi tried his best to go to sea and plunder the Han people's country!
In his opinion, Izumo has the blessing of Amaterasu, and it is the place where the sun rises!
The Izumo people are the people of God!
In comparison, the Han people are not worth mentioning at all!
As long as Oda Gen is willing to send troops, he will be able to conquer all Han countries within three years!
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel!
At that time, the Izumo Kingdom was just established, with many wastes waiting to be revitalized, and all walks of life were in the process of development. It was really not suitable for further war.
Therefore, the civil and military officials at that time united to oppose Uesugi Takekoshi. In addition, Oda Gen was also somewhat hesitant, which led to Uesugi Takekoshi's plan to go overseas to be completely shelved.
But now, he brought up the old things again! And when he spoke, he seemed to be full of confidence!
When the civil and military officials heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little thump in their hearts.
Well, to be precise, it was the civil servants who felt a slight thump in their hearts.
After these years of development, most of the generals have been replaced by members of the Uesugi family. It can be said that Uesugi Taketsuo obeys his words, so how can he contradict him?
"The general's words are somewhat inappropriate." A minister stood up. This man was wearing a crimson official robe, but he was only six feet tall. Even the clogs on his feet took up half a foot, and he walked Come on, it's a bit funny.
"As far as I know, an unprecedented war is breaking out in the Han country. The war is more brutal than we imagined!"
"At this time, if we rush to send troops and go to the sea to go to the Han country, if we get involved in their civil strife, wouldn't we suffer an unreasonable disaster?"
As soon as he said this, Taketsu Uesugi snorted coldly and said directly: "Do you think this general is a pig? There is civil strife in the Han country, why do we, the Izumo Kingdom, get involved?"
"Of course I sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, and finally get the advantage of the fishermen!"
Hearing this, Oda Gen, who was sitting on the Amaterasu chair, could not help but nodded slightly, obviously agreeing very much with Uesugi Taketsu's statement.
Well, actually, going to sea was what he meant!
According to the information obtained from the Han countries, he learned that an unprecedented war was going on, or in other words, was about to break out among several Han countries!
And this is undoubtedly a golden opportunity for Oda Gen, who is unwilling to succumb to a small place like Izumo Island!
As Taketsu Uesugi said, they are not pigs, so how can they be involved in the battle between Han countries for no reason?
Naturally, I want to find a place to hide, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and finally seize a large amount of territory. After a few years of rest and recuperation, it will be enough to gain the power to swallow up the world!
Such temptation is simply irresistible to Oda Gen!
And he must consider whether this is the only opportunity he will encounter in this life to take over the Central Plains!
Although he is known as the Holy Emperor of Tenmuji, and he also sits on the Amaterasu Golden Chair, and he matches the Han Emperor in everything, and even outdoes the Han Emperor, only he knows what is going on in the Izumo Kingdom, after all, he is just a human being. It’s just a small country.
But he, Oda Gen, has great ambitions and ambitions, and he absolutely cannot tolerate being trapped in such a small place for his whole life!
Therefore, it is imperative to go to the sea and enter the Central Plains!
Just as Oda Gen was pondering, in the court, the cultural management group and the military attache group headed by Taketsu Uesugi were already quarreling!
Both sides hold their own opinions on whether to go to sea and refuse to give in!
However, when Oda Gen saw this scene, he frowned and said angrily: "No need to say more, immediately raise troops to go to sea and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains!"
"Uesugi Taketsukoshi is solely responsible for the corresponding matters!"
As soon as this statement came out, the cultural management group immediately exploded. A few senior people even knelt on the ground on the spot and cried: "Great Emperor, think twice!"
Hearing this, Oda Gen showed anger and shouted: "I have made up my mind on this matter. If anyone dares to say more, I will kill him immediately!"
As the founding emperor of the Izumo Kingdom, Oda Gen had absolute authority over the court!
Even Taketsu Uesugi, a general who is said to be inferior to one man and superior to ten thousand people, would never dare to show his strength.
What's more, these civil servants?
At that time, the red-robed old minister stayed in place, as silent as a cicada, not daring to take a breath.
When Taketsu Uesugi saw this scene, he looked calm on the surface, but he was smiling on the inside.
This was not the first time that these civil servants had gone against him.
But this time, with the help of the great emperor's wind, he finally gave the opponent a hard beating.
"Uesugi Takeshi, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and get ready?" Oda Gen's eyebrows were as bright as a torch, as if he could penetrate people's hearts.
Uesugi Wuyue felt a little weak when he saw it, and immediately nodded and said: "I will go prepare to go to sea." Then he turned and left.
Although Izumo Country has unified Izumo Island, various technologies, whether iron smelting or shipbuilding, are far behind the Central Plains region.
Therefore, even if they work together as a country, it will be difficult to build a building ship!
Therefore, the navy of Izumo Kingdom uses stern boats!
There are all kinds of ships, probably more than fifty!
Several of them are magnificently built!
It is a cockpit specially designed for big figures like Oda Gen and Uesugi Taketsu!
Izumo Country is an island country, and civilians and soldiers alike cannot avoid going to sea, so the water quality is very good!
Although there is no mature navy establishment, it is not too difficult to form a decent navy team on this basis!
It only took Taketsu Uesugi two or three days to reorganize the original Izumo army and form an elite navy team of about 5,000 people as the vanguard to the Central Plains!
In fact, even though it was said to be a vanguard army, Izumo Country couldn't produce any more.
After all, for a small country, supporting five thousand troops is almost the limit!
If it were more, it would be unaffordable.
This is why Oda Gen put all his efforts into going to the Central Plains and taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits!
What kind of army is an army of only five thousand men? He, Oda Yuan, doesn’t want to and can never live like this for the rest of his life!
