Warring States Eagle

In the Battle of Higo, the Luo family's army with Akabane Shinnosuke as the general general only aimed to defeat the powerful families of Higo. In this battle, their main purpose was to focus on dealing with the Otomo's army from Bungo.After killing and capturing most of the troops directly under the Otomo family and defeating the Feihou coalition forces, the Luo family stopped, let alone continue to pursue the fleeing wealthy families.

But the fact that the Luo family didn't go after them doesn't mean that the Juchi family's army that came to join forces didn't pursue them.After besieging and killing Yoshihiro Kanri and his party at Suwa Shrine, Ryuzoji Takanobu led a team of hundreds of people to kill Higo's rich families everywhere.It also happened to be unlucky for Chi Xing's relatives. He led two brothers and dozens of subordinates and had just evacuated from the battlefield when they encountered the menacing Longzhuosi Takanobu head-on.Seeing that it was the family crest of the Chixing family, Ryuzoji Takanobu led his men to kill without saying a word.

Dozens of remnants are opponents of hundreds of people.In this battle, dozens of troops headed by Chi Xing's in-laws were wiped out.Ryuzoji Takanobu also became the number one general under Kikuchi Yoshitake's command because he successively won important figures such as Otomo's general Yoshihiro Kanri and Akahoshi's relatives. Since then, he has finally regained his strength after Hizen's family perished The hope of the family.

And when Ryuzoji Takanobu was fighting hard, Kikuchi Yoshitake was unwilling to be lonely.He cooperated with Higo's Yixiangzong, and with the help of the retainers of the Akahoshi family as internal support, he took down the city of Nifu, which was the guardian city of Higo's past dynasties. The son of Akahoshi's in-laws was finally forced to abandon the city and fled to Feng Then he went to Otomo's house.

After occupying Nifu City, Kikuchi Yoshitake contacted the former Juchi family without stopping, and even blatantly flirted with some rich families in Feihou.It is possible to take advantage of the momentum to continue to expand its power.

And the relatives and rich families of Fei Hou who had just been defeated by the Luo family in the North Central were also busy licking their wounds.Naturally, he has no time to care about the actions of the Juchi family.What's more, the Kikuchi family's current residence occupies an important traffic route connecting the central and northern parts of Higo to Bungo. After the Kikuchi family imposed martial law on the border, it made it difficult for the rich families in Higo to communicate with the Otomo family in a timely manner.As a result, Higo fell into a period when Kikuchi Yoshitake was making trouble everywhere.

On the other hand, the Goto Sailors, after learning that Otomo's family suffered a disastrous defeat in Higo and that they withdrew in disgrace after Chikugo, they also wisely sent Tianwei Masatora, the envoy of the Luo family who had been imprisoned, back to the Luo family.At the same time, the navy at the edge of the Luo family's territorial waters was also withdrawn. After returning to the five islands, they made a look of guarding against death.

After the great battle between Luo's family and Otomo's family, the situation in Kyushu also changed a little.

The Luo family, except for the Goto area, has almost completely occupied the Hizen country at this time. In addition, it also occupies most of the Chikugo country and parts of the Higo country and the Chikuzen country. The stone height is about 53 shi, and the population It also reached more than 25 people.Temporarily maintains an ally relationship with the Ouchi family.But the relationship seems to have been a little delicate.At the same time, he established an alliance with the Shimadzu family in Satsuma.But with Otomo's family, it is a hostile relationship.

Ouchi family.Although Ishimi country is caught in a battle with Nizi's family, it still controls the five countries of Shufang, Nagato, Aki, Buzen, and Chikuzen at this time. The Iwami area is still known as the name of a million stones.At present, the relationship with Luo's family and Otomo's family is also in a delicate state.As for Nizi's family, they are still his number one rivals.

After two years of continuous battles with the Luo family, the strength of the Dayou family has declined a lot.However, it still controls the entire Bungo country, and at the same time controls parts of the Chikugo country and Higo country. Its strength has dropped from nearly a million koku at its peak to about 60 koku, which is comparable to the drumming of the Luo family.In terms of diplomacy, as the overlord of the north-central part of Kyushu, it is still the mediator of many tyrannical powers in the Shikoku region across the sea, and at the same time maintains a close relationship with the neighboring Ito family.Since Ouchi Yoshinaga became Ouchi Yoshitaka's son, the relationship between the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family has become a bit delicate.But with the Luo family is deadly rivalry.

The Ito family, the governor of the family at this time is the Ito Yoshisuke who is known as the creator of the largest territory of the Ito family.This Yoshisuke Ito is also a character.At the beginning of Yoshisuke Ito's succession as the governor of the family, there were constant troubles. At the end of Tenmon 1537 ([-]), a fire broke out in the city of Satohara.After only one year of residence, Satohara Castle was also reduced to ruins amidst the fiery red lotuses. Yoshisuke Ito had no choice but to move his residence again, and then moved to Miyazaki Castle.

If the fire in Jucheng was a natural disaster, then the Changcang Clan's rebellion in Tianwen [-]th to [-]th year was doomed to be inevitable.The mastermind of the rebellion was Nagakura Noto Shouyu, who took the lead in opposing Yoshisuke Ito.In addition, Nagakura Notomori also sought reinforcements from the Shimadzu Toyoshu family, a branch of the Shimadzu family that was sitting in Obi at this time.Tadahiro Shimazu, the head of the Toyosu family at that time, sent reinforcements of [-] horses to join the battle.

The Nagakura rebellion lasted for more than a year, until September of Tenwen Ten (1541), Yuqing, who had been renamed Ito Yoshisuke, defeated Changkura, and the Shimadzu United Army won the final victory.In this battle, the chief culprit of the rebellion, Nagakura Notoshou, died in battle, Mr. Kamisuke fled, and the anti-Yu forces within the Ito family were swept away.After five years as the tenth generation head of the Ito clan, Yoshisuke Ito finally gained a firm foothold.This year, Yoshisuke Ito was 30 years old.And the Ito family also controlled the territory of tens of thousands of stones in the Hyuga country, officially becoming a daimyo from a wealthy family.

After implementing a series of goodwill measures against the shogunate and the court, Ito Yoshisuke not only won a high-ranking official position, but even received the support of the court and the shogunate in righteousness.As a result, Ito Yoshisuke changed the territorial policy of the two generations of Yuyun and Yukichi, and restarted the expansion of the Ito clan.At this time, Yoshisuke's main opponents were the Kitago family of the Shonai capital city and the Toyosu Shimadzu family of Obi.However, since Tadahiro Shimadzu, the head of the Shimadzu family in Toyosu, had no sons, Tadaki, the son of the head of the Kitago family, Takahiro, was adopted as his adopted son and inherited the headship.The Beixiang family was succeeded by Shijiu, the eldest son of his loyal relatives.In fact, the two have become one family.

If the Ito family wants to seize the ruling power in the south of Hyuga, they will not only have to deal with the Kitago family and the Toyosu Shimadzu family who are like a family, but what is even more difficult is the powerful old enemy Satsuma Shimadzu family behind the two families.With the strength of the Ito family alone, it may be difficult to compete with the three forces. For this reason, Ito Yoshisuke must seek help.Through frequent marriages and diplomatic activities - the eldest daughter Takashiro married the seventeenth generation head of the Osumi Fu family, Kan Fu Ryokan; the second daughter Aso married Kitahara Kanemori who occupied Hinata Shinkoin at this time; and secretly prepared to win over Higo's The Sagara family, Yoshisuke is preparing to organize an encirclement circle with relying on Ganfu, Kitahara, and Sagara as foreign aid, in order to deal with the cooperation of the Kitago and Toyosu families and contain Shimadzu Takahisa of Satsuma.According to historical development, in the next few decades, these companies will fall into frequent intrigues and battles.

Liver payer.As the most powerful tycoon in Dasumi, the Ganfu family at this time is in charge of Dasumi's territory of nearly 1527 shi.At this time, Gan Fu Jianxu, who is the head of the sixteenth generation of Gan Fu's family, can be regarded as a man of accomplishment.In 39, he married the Satsuma Shimadzu family, and continued to marry Anan, the eldest daughter of Shimadzu Tadayoshi, as the Masashi family. He also married his younger sister to Takahisa's son, Kihisa, and relied on his political marriage with the Shimadzu family to maintain his A temporary truce.On the other hand, while strengthening diplomacy, Kensaku built [-] castles in the territory, subordinated the Nemon clan of Ohaira, repaired the road from Takayama Honjo over Kunimi Mountain to the inner bay, and opened the sea route. Waiting for use will gradually strengthen the strength of the leading country.But as the nearby Satsuma Shimadzu family became more and more powerful, Ganfu Kanetsugu also felt a deep sense of crisis.So when the Yidong family came to seek secret cooperation, he was quite moved.

The Satsuma Shimadzu family, after more than ten years and two generations of continuous efforts, the Satsuma Shimadzu family has subdued the Izumi Shimadzu family and the Toyosu Shimadzu family respectively, and has completely occupied the Satsuma Peninsula, becoming a tens of thousands of people. Shi's name, but also became a veritable guardian of Satsuma.Now he is forming alliances with the Sagara family in Higo and the Roshi family with its tentacles extending to Higo. At the same time, he is trying to maintain a friendly relationship with the Ganfu family in the Osumi area, in order to try to eliminate the rebellious nobles in central and northern Satsuma as soon as possible.Satsuma Shimadzu has expanded his territory with the help of Takahisa Shimadzu and his growing sons.

As for Hihou, the situation is the most complicated. (To be continued..)
