Since you want to occupy Sado Island, Marin must consult the opinions of Ganfu Shuizi, a native of Japanese. Moreover, the occupation of Sado Island must not be able to use the name of Ganfu Shuizi, a noble daughter of Ganfu, to reduce resistance.
The most important thing is that if you rule the local area under the name of Japanese Daming, you will be less rebellious. Otherwise, if someone rebels all day long, no matter how strong the Marin army is, it will not be able to bear it.
But the problem is that Sado Island is also a state of order. Although Shigao is only 17,000 stones, not even one-tenth of the 175,000 stones of Osumi Country, they are also a serious daimyo. It is easy for you to destroy others, but what name can be used is a big problem. Without a title, rule is difficult to be stable.
Gan Fu Shuizi thought for a while and said:
"Husband, I heard that although Sado Country was led by Honma clan, because the Honma clan was granted a concubine's son, the power of Sado Country was dispersed and internal struggles continued. Before leaving Japan, I heard that the Honma clan family of the Hashimo Township and the Honma clan family of Kawaharada were strong, and had many conflicts with the Honma clan family of the Hashimo Township in Sata Castle..."
"Then what you mean is to support one of the three families, use them as puppets, and secretly control the Sado Kingdom?" Marin nodded, feeling that this idea is very good and the least likely to cause a rebound.
Then, Marin asked again:
"Who is the strongest in these three?"
After thinking about it, Ganfu Shuizi replied:
"It seems to be the Honma Honma clan. I heard that Sado Island is mainly divided into three parts. The Honma clan master's family mainly controls the Sata Castle and surrounding areas in the middle, while the Honma clan master mainly controls the southernmost end of the island, with ports and trades with the Honma. As for the Kawaharada Honma clan master, it mainly controls the northern part of Sado Island. Their strength is comparable to that of the Honma clan master, but they are all weaker than the Honma clan family..."
"Is the Honma family the only one in the world?" Marin was stunned.
In his previous life, he seemed to have read a novel about the Warring States period in Japan. It clearly stated that the Kawahara family in the north of Sado Island controlled Tsuruchi Ginshan and was able to fight against the Hashima family...
Of course, Malin's memory is correct, but that was in the late Warring States Period. Tsuruchi Ginyama was actually discovered by merchants from Echigo in 1542. Now Kawaharada clan certainly does not have Ginyama as a financial support. Therefore, naturally, it is impossible to compete with the traded Hashima clan.
In fact, because of its dominance in strength, the Yuma clan was stronger than the Hon and Kawaharada's Zhi family. This led to the fact that in 1524, the Yuma clan destroyed the Hon and became the guardian of Sado Island Country.
But then the Kawaharada Zhi family in the north discovered Tsuruchi Ginshan. With the support of Yinshan as financial resources, they naturally had the capital to confront the Yuma clan, which replaced the main family. Then, the two families fought for decades and the dog brains were all out.
The dispute between the two families was actually a croaker, but "every man is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure." The Tsuruchi Ginshan of the Kawaharada family finally attracted powerful pretenders - Kenshi Uesugi dispatched a large army to board Sado Island in 1589, and cleaned up the Hashishi and Kawaharada family together. At this point, the rule of Honma on Sado Island ended...
However, in later generations, the most famous Sado Island is Sado Kinshan in the Aikawa area in the west. Marin, who had seen the map of Sado Island before, only remember that Sado Kinshan is a little north of the small peninsula west of the harbor southwest of Sado Island. Then, it is the Kinbei Mountain in the inland area in the northeast. As for Tsuruji Yinshan, he really has no impression of it. Maybe Tsuruji Yinshan has been mined in later generations.
But no matter what, Tsuruchi Ginshan attracted the Uesugi clan to send troops to destroy Honma clan, so its output and grade must be not low. Otherwise, it would not attract Uesugi Kenshin to spend a lot of money to send troops across the sea. Anyway, Marin dispatched prospectors to carefully survey the mountainous areas in the northern half of the island. These gold and silver mountains could be discovered in the 16th century, so it would be not difficult to find. Otherwise, ancient people did not have the technology to find it.
The gold and silver mines in later generations were mainly underground mines, because the gold and silver mines on the surface had long been mined by the ancients. After all, the ancients were not stupid. Only gold and silver mines buried deep underground, or gold and silver mines that were rarely visited in the mountains and ridges, will be left for future generations to mine.
The underground mines of Marin are definitely not capable of detecting them, but the surface mines that were discovered by ancient people can definitely be discovered as long as they are sent to a large number of people.
However, in ancient times, there were no detectors, no aircraft or drones, and it was all artificially traversing mountains and rivers, which was very inefficient.
But there is nothing we can do. After all, the conditions in ancient times were just like this. If you want to find a mine, you can only rely on manpower to build it...
...
Considering that the Yuma clan family is now the dominant family on Sado Island, but the name of the Dayi is in the main family. Therefore, Marin thought about it again and again and decided to first induce the Yuma clan to annex or expel the main family, and then send troops to capture Sado Island under the name of "helping the Honma clan's main family to restore the main family". Then, he sent people to explore...
As for how to operate it? This is very simple. Marin just needs to sell a batch of excellent weapons and armor to the Yumao family at a low price to encourage their ambitions.
With excellent weapons and armor and already ambitious, Marin didn't believe that they could resist annex the main family. After all, when the daimyo of Sado Country was famous, the attraction was very great for the Yuma clan.
The Yuma clan was rich and then had excellent weapons and armor. Once the fight started, the Honma clan lord would definitely be unable to resist. When the Yuma clan defeated the Honma clan lord and lost everything, Marin's army could appear in the name of "Savior" to help the Honma clan lord restore the rule of Sado Island.
By then, the Honma clan had nothing, so he could only follow Marin's mercy...
Of course, Marin was not interested in merging the Honma clan. He was only interested in mining the gold and silver mountains of Sado Island. As long as Honma clan knew each other and did not interfere with his gold and silver mining, he would not mind giving control of the farmland on the island to the Honma clan's master. Anyway, those two crooked melons and jujubes are not worth much money...
With the Honma clan as a puppet, Marin's control on Sado Island had no legal obstacles. This plan was much gentler than what he had thought of directly annexed, and was less likely to cause resistance.
...
However, in addition to the army, Malin felt that he should train a group of prospectors looking for gold and silver ores. Otherwise, if the territory is occupied by the time, he will not be able to find the gold and silver ores, which is embarrassing.
Just so happened that Marin has now captured the Lammersberg silver mine near Goslar City. Marin decided to rely on this silver mine to train a group of engineers who are good at identifying and finding gold and silver mines.
To this end, Marin signed an order to establish a "Goslar Prospecting School" on the mines outside Goslar City, specializing in the exploration, mining and smelting of gold and silver mines. As for other minerals, there is no hurry, and we will focus on the gold and silver mines first. After all, Marin now has no shortage of other metals, so he lacks gold and silver...
