Warring States Eagle

Everyone present showed great interest in Zhengliang's development of North Korea's trade.It is quite enough for the meeting to achieve this effect.As for how to go next?It is still necessary to look at the reports of the people Masara sent to the Arima family and the coast of North Korea before making a decision.

In fact, Zhengliang also planned to open up this business path on his own.The easiest way is to raise an army of the Luo family, and then directly occupy Iki Island and Arima Island, and push down the pirates and various forces along the way one by one.

It's just that this idea is obviously unrealistic.First of all, the current strategic center of the Luo family is on land.Only when there is sufficient strategic depth on land, and sufficient strength and material foundation, can the issue of expansion at sea be considered.

Otherwise, once they leave the land, even the most powerful naval forces will become rootless.In the end, it can only be reduced to a pirate floating in the sea.

For the Luo family to seek development, the future center of gravity must remain on land.Otherwise, no matter how powerful the warship is, it can only dominate at sea, and when it lands, it will still be caught in a land battle.The Luo family's military layout still needs to give priority to the land at this stage, and then the sea.

Secondly, the current resources of the Luo family are also limited.If resources are sufficient, of course both sea and land will develop at the same time.It's just that the Luo's family has limited resources after all, so they can only prioritize securing military strength on land.

Only with sufficient land military power can the security of the territory on land be ensured, so that the territory can become a strong support for war.After accumulating to a certain level, natural resources are sufficient, and they will naturally be able to develop a naval force.

The most typical example of this is the Arima family.Due to the lack of sufficient land depth as a base.Once foreign trade is interrupted.The strength will be greatly reduced.Even without the most basic resource support, even the most powerful navy will be disbanded.

In the end, it was due to the strength of the Luo family's navy.After more than three years of accumulation, the Luo family navy has become a well-known navy along the coast of Kyushu.

However, with the current overall strength of the navy, it can only ensure the coastal security of the territory and deter the surrounding navy forces.

Once the Luo family tried their best to attack all forces along the North Korean business road, even if they won in the end, it would be a miserable victory.At that time.The surrounding forces quickly besieged the Luo family like a shark smelling blood.

The most frightening consequence is that the Luo family lost control of the coastal areas of their territory, allowing all forces to enter the Luo family's territory at will to destroy it. This is the last outcome that Zheng Liang does not want to see.

The Luo family is now a big family, and Zhengliang is already a famous name in the Warring States Period who holds the land of the two countries. The little family governor who fought.At this time, Zhengliang had to be cautious in all his decisions.He didn't want to collapse the foundation he had worked so hard to build before it was firmly established.

So after careful consideration, Zheng Liang finally decided to bring in the Nanmans and Ming people.Honestly.Whether it is the Southern barbarians or the Ming people, their naval forces are not weak.

If there is their naval power to join.Then the Luo family only needs to send a part of the navy to coordinate.Such a water coalition force may not be afraid even if it encounters the North Korean navy, let alone the forces of all parties along the way.

Even when necessary, the Luo family could use the power of the Southern Barbarians and the Ming people to ruthlessly attack the forces along the road and directly occupy Iki Island and Arima Island.Of course, in this case, it is necessary to test the meaning of the Ouchi family first.

After all, the Ouchi family navy not only controlled the trade with the Ming Dynasty, but even participated in the trade between Arima Island and North Korea.If the Ouchi family really fell into silence for a while as recorded in history, Zhengliang would definitely make up his mind to attack these two places.

Now, it's all about timing.

After discussing some details of the cooperation with the merchants from the Nanman and the Ming Dynasty again in the meeting, Zheng Liang finally personally sent them out of the lord's mansion one by one.

Afterwards, Zhengliang discussed the sale of Huotong with the remaining Kamiya Shaoce.

According to historical development, it will take at least several years for iron cannons to become popular locally.During this period of time, Zheng Liang didn't mind playing around the edges, and sold some Huo Tong with lower performance and power to other tycoons at a high price.Anyway, during the battle of Hizen, the Luo family had already sold a very good advertisement for these Huo Tong.I believe that as long as the Luo family is willing to sell it, there will naturally be people who want to buy it.

As for the production of Huotong, now the Luo family can basically produce it by itself.Just be careful not to affect the production of matchlock guns.In addition, as for the matchlock gun, no matter what the price, Zheng Liang did not intend to sell it to others.Even if it is a musket, they will not sell it. In the future, the Luo family will implement a strict musket storage system to prevent people from secretly selling muskets.

After negotiating with Shao Ce Shenwu about the sale of the fire system, a day passed like this.After resting overnight, Masara received a report from Black Hawk in the early morning of the next day. It turned out that Shinnosuke Akabane had found the first person on the list given to him at the beginning, and had taken him outside Kishidake City.

Zhengliang immediately decided to summon this person.

In the council hall of Kishidake Castle, Zheng Liang looked at the mysterious guest who was summoned.

After a long time, Zheng Liang, the master, said, "I never thought that the Patriarch of the Juchi family would be reduced to such a state!"

The whole body of the mysterious guest shook slightly, obviously Zheng Liang's words made him very uneasy.

"Originally, I wanted to discuss it with your father personally, but I didn't expect..."

"Father will never forget to return to Feihou even if he dies." The mysterious guest said.

"Oh? I also heard that after your father inherited the Kikuchi family, he even defeated the Omiya Shi family and almost became the Higoo." Seeing that the memory of the mysterious guest was brought up, Zheng Liang immediately said while the iron was hot.

"It's a pity that I met the villain of Kai's family twice." The mysterious guest said through gritted teeth.

After Zheng Liang heard this, he secretly smiled.The mysterious guest said that he met the villain of the Kai family twice, referring to the former governor of the Higo Kai clan, Kai Shinnobu, and the current governor of the Kai clan, Kai Zunzhi (ie, Kai Soun).

The reason why the mysterious guest hates these two people so much is because, when the father and son of the mysterious guest had the opportunity to monopolize the Omiya Si family and the Hihou twice, they were proclaimed by Kai and Zongyun respectively. It's all ruined.
