Warring States Eagle

In the past year or so, the Warring States period can be described as changing.

In the Yashu area of ​​Kanto, after defeating the Kwantung Allied Forces in the Kawagoe Night Attack, the Hojo family took advantage of the victory to pursue and further infiltrate into the Kanto area.However, it was in this year that the Hojo family became quite a headache in the future. The [-]th generation governor of the Satake family, known as "Oni Yoshishige, the ghost of Kanto", and the Date family as "two heroes of the Northeast", was also born. up.

At the same time, Takeda Katsuyori, the son of Takeda Shingen, was also born as the No. 20 head of the Takeda family in Kai.During this period, Takeda Shingen fought against the Uemura family in the Shinano area and the retainers of the Uesugi family in the Ueno area, and actively expanded his power outward, while sorting out internal affairs.Just at the beginning of this year, Takeda Shingen formulated the "Order of Koshu Laws" after reviewing the draft drafted by his important minister Komai Masaotake, the content of which was mainly the policy of the rule of the neighboring country.Soon after, due to the needs of his own internal affairs management, Takeda Shingen issued a money writing order, strictly prohibiting the circulation of bad money in his territory.

East China Sea area.Matsudaira Hirota of Mikawa asked for help from Imagawa Yoshimoto because he couldn't bear the pressure of Oda Nobuhide.Hirochu then sent Toda Yasumitsu to send Takechiyo to Sunfu, but Toda Yasumitsu bought it for Nobuhide, and instead sent Takechiyo to Owari by sea.Since then, Tokugawa Ieyasu has lived a very long hostage life in the Oda family, and at the same time established a good friendship with Oda Nobunaga during this period, which laid the foundation for the alliance between the two in Qingzhou in the future.

Owari Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, sent troops to attack Mino again at the request of Toki Yorii and Yori Jun.Because of Nohime's being robbed, Saito Dozo, who suspected that the Oda family was secretly instigating his relationship with the surrounding tycoons, immediately became angry.So the two sides started a big battle around Inabayama Castle.Unfortunately, Oda Nobuhide was attacked by Saito Dozo in the Battle of Kanokou, and fled in another defeat.Red eyes.Even Saito Dosan, who is almost convinced that Oda Nobuhide sent someone to rob his beloved daughter, took the opportunity to pursue her.The Oda Army suffered heavy losses as a result.Oda Nobuhide's younger brother Oda Nobuyasu and other generals were killed in this pursuit.In the same year, Toki Yorichun died of illness (it is also rumored that he was poisoned by Saito Dozo's spies).Saito Dozo thus completely controlled Mino.

Kyoto area.The shogun Yoshiharu dressed his eldest son, Kikudomaru Moto, at Omi Sakamoto Hiyoshisha, and changed his name to Yoshito.This Ashikaga Yoshito later changed his name to Ashikaga Yoshiki.He is the No. 13 Shogun of the Shogunate who is known as the Swordsman General.

Shikoku area.Changzong's Gabu family continued to accelerate its expansion.Changzong’s family’s influence expanded rapidly in the southern part of Tosa Nagaoka County. The Yokoyama family of Jieliang City, the Shimoda family of Shimoda Castle, the Hosokawa family of Toshijo City, the Ike’s family of Ikeki, and the Mojiida family of Gaida Castle all surrendered to Changzong’s family one by one. Under the army of the family.

Yin and Yang areas.Mao Liyuan sent troops to fight Nizi Qingjiu's army in Beihou Longwang Mountain. Until Zhengliang received the information, the two were still fighting.And Zhengliang also knew that soon after this battle, Mao Liyuan would announce that he would go into seclusion.The position of family governor was handed over to the eldest son Mori Takamoto.Of course, even if he lived in seclusion, he still secretly controlled the Maori family from behind.

Back to the Kyushu area.

Shimadzu Takahisa's fourth son, Shimadzu Iehisa, the fierce general of the Shimadzu family in the future, was born.The Shimadzu family has produced good generals.If it follows the historical development, Iehisa Shimadzu, together with his three elder brothers, Yoshihisa Shimadzu, Yoshihiro Shimadzu and Tokihisa Shimadzu, will create the largest territory of the Shimadzu family.But now that a little butterfly like Zheng Liang joins in, what will be the final result?

Otomo's house.Ever since his confrontation with Zheng Liang, Otomo Yoshikami seems to have been out of luck.Sure enough, last year, his attack on the Siguo Yiyu Xitu Temple family ended in failure again.After this defeat, the dissatisfaction of the family's retainers towards him almost exploded, and the people in the territory also complained, complaining about Otomo Yoshikami's militarism but achieving nothing.

Fortunately.Otomo's family just discovered a gold mine in the Odaira Mine in Bungo Country, and at the same time discovered a lot of associated tin mines during the mining process.this discovery.Not only did it ease the internal affairs of Otomo's family, but it also diverted the attention of all the retainers and the citizens, allowing Otomo's family to temporarily avoid internal turmoil.

The discovery of this gold mine in the Odaira Mine in Bungo Province also greatly relieved the nobles near Kamiyi Castle in Higo.It has been rumored that Otomo's family is also interested in the silver mine found in Miyahara.This surprised the wealthy families who were vying for control of the mine here.If Dayou's family forcibly sends people to mine, they will be powerless to stop it.Well now, since Dayou's family discovered the gold mine, at least in a short period of time, there is no time to get involved in this silver mine.It was precisely because of this news that the nerves of the wealthy families near the Miyahara Silver Mine were once again stimulated, and everyone fought again at the same time.Xia Yicheng County once again ignited the smoke of war.

Ouchi family.Ouchi Yoshitaka first designed the order to the court shogunate to revoke the permission of the Hosokawa family, the overlord of the Shikoku region, to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and achieved the goal of dominating the trade with the Ming Dynasty.Since then, the Ouchi family has also been intensively preparing for the last Kanhe trade with the Ming Dynasty in the history of the Ouchi family.

According to the original development of history, the bright ship sent by Ouchi Yoshitaka should have departed from Naruura on Naru Island in the Goto Islands.However, since the Wudao area has now become the territory of the Luo family, other powerful naval forces are not allowed to enter and leave at will.So this time the starting point was changed to Iki Island.

Of course, at this time, neither Iki Island nor Tsushima Island, the situation is too stable.

As for Tsushima Island, more than 20 ships, mainly Japanese ships from Tsushima Island, attacked Shiliang Town, Gyeongsang Province, North Korea three years ago, which sparked the discussion of "absolute Japanese warships" in North Korea.As a result, North Korea ordered the severance of communication with the shogunate, the Ouchi family, and the Zong family, and the communication between Tsushima and North Korea was interrupted.The Tsushima clan, lacking trade support, fell into turmoil.Of course, not long after this year, after the efforts of the Ouchi family, North Korea will sign the "Dingmi Treaty" with Tsushima Island. North Korea re-agreed that Tsushima's main clan can send 25 merchant ships to trade with North Korea every year.

On Iki Island, the civil strife in Hata is still going on.However, because the Ouchi family temporarily borrowed the coastal pier of Iki Island, the two camps of the civil strife in Hata restrained each other. As the side of the Hata family, they were afraid of losing the support of the Ouchi family's retainers, the Chikuzen Kunisugi family, and confronted each other. On the other hand, the Hidaka family was afraid of angering the Ouchi family, which would cause the Ouchi family to completely support the Bodo family.

At this time, Zhengliang was more concerned about the situation of the Sagara family navy.Since they have always been friends with the Ouchi family, and they can even be said to be the outsiders of the Ouchi family, so this time the Ming Kanhe trade is naturally participated by the Sagara family.In order to ensure safety and smoothness along the way, the Sagara family also sent a large number of sailors to accompany them at the request of the Ouchi family.This led to a great weakening of its naval strength in the Yatsushiro Sea area along the coast of Nanfeihou.

Zheng Liang took a fancy to this.

"My lord, this is indeed a great opportunity for our family to seize the opportunity to capture Nanfei." Kansuke Yamamoto immediately suggested.After nearly two years of rest, at this time, the Luo family's warehouse has 20 shi stored in grain that will be put into various constructions in the territory, and [-] shi is used as a strategic reserve for civil, agricultural and military food reserves.

As for the army, most of the standing staff who were injured and absent from work two years ago have returned from their injuries, and the remaining standing staff who lost their combat effectiveness have also been placed in various places in the territory to serve, and the vacancies have also been filled by newly recruited standing staff.

At this time, Luo's family is really equipped with past events!

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Zheng Liang said with a frown.

"My lord, why is this?" Kansuke Yamamoto asked in confusion.He really couldn't think of any scruples the Luo family would have about taking action against Empress Nan Fei.

"First, take a look at the information that Kiyomasa sent back from the Zhoufang Yamaguchi Pavilion at an accelerated pace." Zheng Liang handed a piece of information on the desk to Kansuke Yamamoto.

This information was sent back by Duanmu Qingzheng before the envoys from the Ouchi family left for the Luo family.It is mentioned in the intelligence that in order to prevent the Higo Sagara family from being attacked by other powerful forces due to the large number of navy accompanying them during the period of trade with the Ming Dynasty, the Ouchi family will demand that the Sagara family Don't disturb Sagara's house.Otherwise, not only will they be designated as enemies in the imperial court by the Ouchi family, but they will even be attacked by the Ouchi family.

In order to clearly express this attitude of the Ouchi family and make the Luo family, which is currently the most threatening to the Sagara family, feel scruples, Ouchi Yoshitaka has decided to send Masara's cheap father-in-law Sagara Takeshi to the Luo family.

"My lord, maybe I have a way to deal with the matter of the Ouchi family, so that the family can successfully take down Nanfei." Kansuke Yamamoto said immediately after reading Duanmu Kiyomasa's information.

"Oh?" (To be continued...)
