Warring States Eagle

In the previous discussions between Masara, Kansuke Yamamoto, Togo Heiji and others, the Luo family agreed that the focus of the Luo family's strategy at this time should be in the Kitakyushu region, or even the Central Kyushu region.However, the South Kyushu region should not intervene prematurely.

This is mainly considered from three aspects.

One is that although the Luo family in the Kitakyushu area has the upper hand at this time, the Ouchi family with a strong foundation is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the Ouchi family who has suffered a major blow will launch a crazy counterattack at any time. Under such a situation, The Luo family had to concentrate their energies on Kitakyushu and be ready for another fierce battle with these two families at any time.What's more, at this time, the Luo's family is also well-known for having enough internal affairs resources to support it, and at the same time, they are opening up more battlefields.Since you can't fight by force, it's better to have a civil fight, and use your diplomatic ability to control the situation in Southern Kyushu as much as possible.

Second, if the tentacles of power are extended into the Southern Kyushu area, the Luo family's border line will be too long and it will be difficult to concentrate troops for defense. This will create an opportunity for the forces in Hyuga, Osumi and other regions to invade the Luo family. The opportunity to gain territory eventually caused the Luo family to get entangled with these tyrants.If the Ouchi family and Otomo family in Kitakyushu take the opportunity to make trouble again at this time, then the Luo family will be in a difficult situation.

Third, because the territory is stretched too long, when the network of marching avenues in the territory is not perfect, it will not be conducive to the mobilization of the army, let alone the transportation of materials, resulting in a lot of unnecessary consumption of materials (such as transporting materials Grain and grass consumed during the period).In addition, because the territory is too stretched, it also causes a lack of strategic depth inside the territory, which is not conducive to the defense of the territory.

After considering the above factors, Zhengliang finally decided not to directly intervene in the Southern Kyushu area.But not directly intervening does not mean that indirect intervening is not possible.The Beiyuan family and other forces that came to ask for help this time are a good opportunity for the Luo family to take the opportunity to indirectly intervene in the local area.

Although the Shimadzu family’s giant ape from southern Kyushu (the Shimadzu family’s unique iron cannon skill is named ape call) has not fully grown up at this time (historically. In the early days of the war with the Ito family, the Shimadzu family was still killed by the opponent Later, after the four tigers of the Shimadzu family gradually grew up, the Shimadzu family took the upper hand in one fell swoop), but from the emergence of mysterious pirates and the sudden acceleration of the Shimadzu family’s outward expansion. look.Zhengliang has suddenly realized that due to his appearance and the sudden rise of the Luo family, history has been changed, so he can no longer look at this giant ape based on the historical footsteps of the Shimadzu family.

Therefore, Zheng Liang decided to take advantage of this opportunity to support some forces in the local area, when the Luo family still had no time to deal with the forces in Southern Kyushu.As a pawn to check and balance the ally of the Shimadzu family.And the local wealthy families such as the Beiyuan family are naturally the first choice.As for whether the Shimadzu family will tear up the covenant with the Luo family because of this, in Zhengliang's opinion, it will not.

Because the Shimadzu family is not like Masaragi at this time, they have a big picture of the overall trend of history, so they can only consider the countermeasures limited to their own situation.For the currently relatively weak Shimadzu family, it is very irrational to tear up the covenant with the Luo family. [

The current relationship between the Luo family and the Shimadzu family.Just like the relationship between the Otomo family and the Shimadzu family in history, Otomogi Town had completely occupied the central and northern parts of Kyushu at that time, and was named Kyushu Tanti by the shogunate.The Shimadzu family has just unified the entire Satsuma country.The Shimadzu family, which was still in a weak stage, naturally didn't want to be targeted by the behemoth Otomo's family, so the Shimadzu family took the initiative to make friends with the Otomo family.

At that time, Dayouyi Town also looked down on the Shimadzu family, not to mention that at this time the Shimadzu family took the initiative to express their friendship. In order to express their generosity as a Kyushu explorer, they naturally accepted the Shimadzu family’s kindness .Since then.The Shimadzu family was able to concentrate their energies on the struggle against the Ito family and Ganfu family until they unified Satsuma, Osumi, and Hyuga, and defeated the Otomo family in the Battle of Otogawa, bringing the former overlord of Kyushu to the decline.

The strength of the current Luo family is much worse than that of the Otomo family who occupied the Kyushu and six countries in history, and the Shimadzu family has not yet unified Satsuma.So at this time again, the Shimadzu family took the initiative to form an alliance with the Luo family.The situation is so similar.It's just that this time, the Luo family replaced the Otomo family.

So at this stage, when Fa knows the situation in the Kyushu area ahead of time, and is not clear about the internal situation of the Luo family at this time, the Shimadzu family will definitely think that at this time, it is impossible to compete with the already huge Luo family. conflict at home.

Even this time the Luo family came forward to mediate as allies of both parties.If the Shimadzu family is about to occupy the beautiful situation in the North Satsuma area, the Shimadzu family will be patient.They would then turn their fronts to the nearby Osumi.And this is exactly what Zheng Liang hopes to see.Zheng Liang was also waiting for such an opportunity, when the Luo family had established a firm foothold in Kitakyushu and made sufficient internal preparations, while the Shimadzu family and Ganfu family in the Southern Kyushu area were fighting to the death.It was time for the Luo family to send troops.

This is also why Zheng Liang agreed to the other party's intention to form an alliance when Kenshou Kitahara was unwilling to surrender to the Luo family.Once the other party is willing to submit to the Luo family, it means that the Luo family's forces have formally intervened in the Southern Kyushu area, which will lead to unexpected changes in the current situation in Kyushu, and even the Shimadzu family, Ganfu family, and Ito family will unite to fight against it. The Roche family is all possible.Therefore, it is not appropriate for the Luo family to enter the area at this time, so as not to arouse the vigilance of these forces.

After agreeing to form an alliance with the forces represented by Kitahara Kenmori, Masara then issued an order to send Yoshioka Nagasuke and Kitahara Kenmori to secretly return to Kita Satsuma.The purpose of Yoshioka Nagasuki's visit was to be in charge of contacting the local forces on the one hand, and to investigate the mysterious pirates of the Shimadzu family on the other hand.Regarding these pirates, Zheng Liang vaguely anticipated who they were.But Zhengliang hoped that his assumption was not true.Otherwise, the Luo family would really be in trouble.

In addition, Zhengliang sent people to Bungo country urgently to search for a person.This person should be living in seclusion in the Bungo country at this time, and Masaragi's new wife Otomo Matsu, who is keeping a filial piety for Otomo Yijian there, should know a thing or two about this person's whereabouts.If this person can be found with the help of Otomosong, then Zheng Liang will have another hole card in his hand to check and balance the Shimadzu family.

While the Luo family was secretly discussing an alliance with the Beiyuan family and other forces, far away in Guocheng in Nanfeihou Kuma County, an old man with an old look and white hair just "touched" a piece of paper in his hand. The book hit the ground, and then he looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Damn, damn...er..." While sighing, I suddenly felt depressed in my heart, and a fishy-sweet liquid rushed out of my throat instantly, and then the liquid spurted out with a "puff" On the book that was smashed on the floor.Through the bright red liquid, one can vaguely see the words "Immortal method for the continuation of every two generations" written with a brush on the first page of the booklet.

This volume of "Renewing the Imperial Law of Every Two Generations" is the content of the law specially added by the Sagara family to strengthen the practice of territorial development. It has been continuously compiled several years ago.At that time, the Sagara family was still a powerful daimyo who dominated Nanhigo, and their territory spanned several counties. In order to strengthen the rule of the territory, this supplementary law was naturally necessary.

But now, the Sagara family only occupies three fortified cities and several villages, which are no longer as prosperous as they used to be.What made the Sagara family even more angry was that since the beginning of the spring, the Luo family's army at the border of the territory had continuously harassed the territories of the rich families such as the Sagara family and the Uemura family, seriously affecting the spring plowing work in the territory.

According to the practice formed by the various tyrants in the Warring States Period, they generally would not attack each other during spring plowing and autumn harvest.This is a practice consciously formed by the tyrants of the Warring States Period, but Zheng Liang was not born and raised in this era after all. During the period of spring plowing and autumn harvesting, the conditions for harvesting while carrying out spring plowing or autumn harvesting work.In addition, the generals of the Luo family have already mastered the essence of harassment warfare and guerrilla warfare taught by Zheng Liang when they regularly participated in the combat case studies of the Luo family academy, so these wealthy families who were harassed will naturally suffer. .

Facing the harassment from the Luo family's army, the allied forces of the rich clan who attacked after hearing the news were not their opponents, so they had to retreat to the walled city and stand firm, watching the Luo family's army continue to destroy their land, even plunder their population.How embarrassing is this kind of aggrieved Uemura Lai, who is nearly 60 years old?

Where will there be tyrants who will show up during the spring plowing and autumn harvest season?The Luo family is really unreasonable.What made Uemura Laixing even more annoyed was that just as the Luo family kept harassing, his two sons (Shangcun City Lord Shangcun Laixiao, Fengfu City Lord Shangcun Laijian) seemed to be talking to another wealthy local family. Okamoto Castle Lord Inadura Nagazo was discussing something in secret.This made Uemura Laixing even more annoyed.At this moment, these people don't even know how to unite?They must wait until the Luo family's army approaches the city, will they know what is the most important thing? [

When he was depressed, today he accidentally saw the book "The Imperial Law for the Continued Every Two Generations" in the cabinet, which made Uemura Laixing feel emotional. Under the stimulation, he directly spurted blood.

"Father!" Sagara Haruhiro, who happened to bring his five-year-old son Manmanmaru (later Sagara Yoshiyo) in to visit Uemura Yoshio, ran over exclaiming immediately upon seeing this.

"Damn it, hate it..." Uemura Laixing, who was about to fall into a coma due to depression, was still furious.
