A sore blow losing all 25 ships, I sincerely hope Ming does not notice your weakened navy during this time. Are you still paying to colonise Taiwan? If so, replacing those ships is not going to be easy. Hopefully Range has something in mind.

Ouch
Maybe you can squeeze some cash out of somebody to help the navy
Or maybe not...

That's what Vassals are for...half their taxes...and, Range plans on taking a few in next couple of years.
Having heard the many questions, Rangemura rose to his feet to answer them all with conviction.
RANGEMURA: Thankfully, Ming is having his own problems...revolts everywhere. As for the plan on Colonization...it must be continued...Japan will not be moved from its course. The replacing of the galleys lost to the sea and to battle will also proceed immediately...for the betterment of Japan and to the glory of its emperor.
The funds shall be provided if Japan does not waver from its course. We must also strive to make certain that all our army have the heart and the soul of a Samurai...and, are willing to die for the Emperor and to uphold the ideals of a Samurai warrior.

The nation certainly seems to now have a hero in Mikumo, good of Range to have salvaged the man's reputation. However the fact remains that Japan is not in an overly enviable position at present, she truly needs to rebuild her fleet.
We cannot forget the colonist...for some reason that's what oda wants to happen. There must be another way.
manna from heaven for the mandate of heaven (yes i know it was chinese... just roll with it)
You are a well of knowledge...that's what you are.
Ii also comes at the right time. He should keep it up.
Ah...the good old days.
That last line is worrying. I think Range has the measure of Oda though. Good results otherwise, three new vassals and Range now held even more highly within the Emperor's esteem. The plan to now take Malacca seems a sound one, hopefully it will be captured soon.
Oda overplayed his hand...Range must be sure not to do the same or his intestines will long to return to their warm stomach cavity instead of being spilled on the dusty (why is it always dusty, isn't this Japan? isn't it always all neat and tidy?)ground
All in good time, my firend...all in a good time.
Have you seen my backyard? It didn't rain last summer...it's a dust bowl...and, with two dogs...a pit and a German Shepherd...there's a lot of mess...dust and sand that is flying about.

Promising stuff on the whole, a useful province gained and another colony founded. A pity that some ingrates stand in the way of progress but such fools shall soon be crushed!
