Warring States Eagle

Chapter 713 New Era

Tianwen 18th year, [-] AD, at the end of August.

That year, on the other side of the sea, the neighboring country of Ming Dynasty, which was separated by a strip of water, had reached its middle and late stage.In Europe, Charles V declared war on Frank I and invaded France; Henry VIII has inherited the throne of Ireland, and he is eyeing King James of Scotland, and he just wants to get rid of him quickly... Whether it is the East or the West, there are dark clouds of war everywhere.

At this time, the Luo family had already dominated Kyushu's Hizen, Chikugo, Higo, and Bungo countries. Their forces invaded the Chikuzen and Hyuga countries. Their territories earned millions of shi and a population of more than 90 daimyo.Even so, Zhengliang did not relax his intelligence collection on various powerful and powerful names in the Wa country.

During this period, some characters who left their footprints in history were born one after another.For example, Nohime's elder brother Saito Yoshiryu's son Saito Ryuko was born, and Nohime was very happy when he got the news.In order to express her gratitude to Zheng Liang for telling her the news, under her various requests, she became Zheng Liang's clerk in dealing with government affairs during this period of time.

But in Masaragi's view, Nohime intends to take this opportunity to get more news about Saito's family as soon as possible.It's just that the innocent Nohime doesn't know that at this time, her respected and beloved brother Yoshiryu Saito has already started to have conflicts with Dozo Saito because of the rumor that he is the posthumous son of Yorii Toki.The Battle of Nagaragawa is about to take place, Saito Dozo will be murdered by his son, one of the three heroes of the Warring States Period, Saito Dozo will die, and the other two heroes are Hojo Soun and Matsunaga Hideo).

Tadakatsu Honda, known as the "No. 22 Warrior in the Warring States Period", "Oni no Heihachi", and the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa, also fell to the ground.His father, Honda Tadaka, fought against Oda Nobuhide in Anxiang City when Honda Tadakatsu was not yet born. Become an "excellent" warrior!" After losing his father, Zhong Sheng and his mother Xiao Ye moved to Dongcun, where they learned skills such as law, martial arts, and marksmanship.According to the development of history, the eight-year-old Honda Tadakatsu will go to Miaoyuan Temple to learn the art of war from the monk Qingquan.After completing his studies the following year, he was praised by Qingquan as a genius, and he began to wander around Sanhe.

However, due to the appearance of Zheng Liang in this life, Honda Tadakatsu's original life trajectory needs to be changed.At this time, the father and son Honda Toshimasa and Honda Masanobu, whose family had already settled in Hizen, had received Masaragi's instruction, and not long ago, they had sent their clansmen to the place where Honda Tadakatsu, mother and son were living, and brought the family to the Luo family. came to settle in his territory.

Over the years, after Toshimasa Honda and Masanobu Honda wrote letters back and forth about their settlement in Hizen, many Honda people have migrated to Hizen to settle down.I believe that based on the status of these two in the hearts of Honda Tadakatsu's mother and son.As well as the settlement conditions that the Luo family offered to relocate them this time, coupled with the fact that the Mikawa area was in chaos due to the battle between the Oda family and the Imagawa family at this time, these factors should be able to attract them to the Hizen country. settled.

Besides Honda Tadakatsu, Zhengliang was still paying attention to another person.That is the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi. [

Zhengliang has made up his mind to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a lustful and despicable guy (don't be fooled by the settings in those games, real history often hides a lot of conspiracy and blood) in advance, lest This guy will come out and get in the way in the future.According to historical records.At this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi should have been a servant at the home of Matsushita Kahei in Enjiang Country (now Shizuoka County).The monkey's first job is to help the owner get the slippers.Since it is his greatest wish to work in the samurai's house, the monkey works hard, and it doesn't take long for him to be valued by Kahei, who promotes him as a cashier.

But the good times don't last long. Monkey's ability and diligence are envied by his colleagues. A large group of people often slander Monkey in front of Kabei, even though Kabei repeatedly protects him.But he couldn't stop everyone's slander, and finally he was fired after Kahei explained the whole story in good faith.Houzi worked at Matsushita Kahei's house for four years. Although he was fired, he still thanked Kahei for his promotion and care.Later, after the monkey dominated the world, he sent people to look for Matsushita Kahei, and gave him a territory of [-] stones in Jiuneng, Yuanjiang country, and made him his daimyo.

If the historical records are true.Then the monkey should be at Kahei's house.To Zhengliang's disappointment, Luo's family searched Yuanjiang for three years, not only did not find any traces of monkeys, they even failed to find the legendary Jiabei family, but instead found Shinbei and Sanbei. , that is, there is no Kabei.The bloody facts tell Zhengliang that historical documents may not be true.

No trace of monkeys could be found.We had to stare at Oda Nobunaga, who must have intersected with monkeys in history.Regarding Oda Nobunaga, Zheng Liang also hesitated whether to assassinate him.

Nobunaga often went to the market outside the city or even the countryside to play. Such a living habit definitely provided the Luo family Black Hawk with a lot of opportunities to attack.It's just that Zhengliang is worried because he killed Nobunaga.It will completely change the direction of the entire history of the Japanese country, so that his advantage of the overall view of history will disappear, which is obviously very unfavorable.

As for how to change the direction of history after the assassination of Nobunaga.This is easy to understand. If Nobunaga dies, almost no one will be able to stop Imagawa Yoshimoto from going to Luo (although the Luo family has formed an alliance with the Imagawa family, Masarai certainly does not want the Imagawa family to go to Luo before him) .Once Yoshimoto Imagawa really occupies Kyoto, what will happen to the historical situation?In addition, without Nobunaga, the Tokugawa family may not exist anymore, and who will even stop Takeda Harunobu and Uesugi Kenshin's Shangluo in the future?Zhengliang found that as long as Nobunaga died, many things would change, so in order to prevent history from changing too much, Zhengliang even assisted Oda Nobunaga to kill Imakawa Yoshimoto.

Ah!What an irony!Originally, he had the idea of ​​assassinating the other party, but after analyzing it, he found that he wanted to help the other party.And for the allies who have just formed an alliance with their own, they even have to secretly murder.If Imakawa Yoshimoto knew what Zhengliang was thinking at this time, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood for three liters.

Thinking of Oda Nobunaga, Masaragi couldn't help thinking of some traditional ideas in the minds of the powerful and powerful men in the Warring States Period at this time.

Take the use of ninjas as an example. Generally, ninjas in big names are mainly used to deal with internal affairs, mainly for internal surveillance and information dissemination.As for assassination, these big names would hardly consider such means.The use of ninja assassination is a despicable act that is extremely despised by the tyrants at this time, and it is completely contrary to the Bushido that promotes bravery (at this time, the Bushido spirit has just risen, and in the Edo period, the Bushido spirit has almost become sick).

The Luo family's ninja use system at this time is almost completely beyond the understanding of ordinary daimyo.This is also an important reason why the Luo family often takes the lead in the war.Of course, as the war between the Sengoku daimyos became more and more intense, the role of ninjas was gradually discovered. Some foresighted daimyos also began to pay attention to the use of ninjas, and ninjas also began to become active in the history of the Warring States period.Among them, Takeda Harunobu, Uesugi Kenshin, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Hojo Ujiyasu are the most famous. Many famous ninjas have appeared under their command.

As for the first daimyo Oda Nobunaga who vigorously used the power of ninjas in the war (if there were no Luo family, Oda Nobunaga was indeed the first to use the ninja's probing function vigorously in the battle of Ozazama to obtain and eventually killed Imagawa Yoshimoto's daimyo), but after becoming strong, he suppressed the ninja's position in the family, and even directly fought against the ninjas in Iga, and directly drove out the ninjas there.But from another aspect, it may be precisely because Nobunaga saw the horror of these ninjas.That's why the above actions were taken.

And now Chuan Yiyuan, he is a powerful representative of abiding by the so-called "tradition".At that time, the Japanese war was mainly based on the positive offensive method, that is, the two armies assembled at the agreed place, and then according to the type of arms and formation, you attacked and I defended.For example, in the twelfth century, the famous general Masanari Kusuki was famous in Japan for his condescending "Nuzu Warfare"; the famous general Takeda Shingen of Kai was famous for his mobile tactics of "Fenglin Volcano".in battle.The soldiers on both sides were upright, with battle flags with family crests on their backs, shouted the slogan of the lord, and took the lead bravely.War at that time was a very sacred thing.Yoshimoto Imagawa is a general who grew up under the influence of such a traditional tactical strategy.Step by step, steady and steady, it was carried out completely in accordance with the practice of the war at that time.If this battle is compared to a game of Go, then Yoshimoto is playing completely according to the formula, and he can't find any faults.

And Oda Nobunaga.As we all know, he has been uninhibited since he was a child, and was called "idiot and lunatic".As the eldest son of the daimyo, it is estimated that he has learned these traditional tactical theories, but according to his personality, he will never take them to heart.This may also have something to do with the short history of the rise of the Oda family.Unlike Imakawa Yoshimoto, he follows the rules.Acting prudently, taking the responsibility of safeguarding the ancient honor of the Imagawa family as his duty, but only looking for opportunities with his innate intuition.Therefore, on the occasion of the arrival of the Jinchuan Army.He was as elite as possible, removed the battle flags and other burdens, wrapped the horseshoes with cloth, and crossed the mountains and ridges to stealthily attack.Although it was difficult and embarrassing, he succeeded in killing Imagawa Yoshimoto in the end.

Like Oda Nobunaga, Masara's vigorous use of ninjas, launching conquests during the spring plowing and autumn harvest period when the truce was agreed, and his likes to carry out sneak attacks (due to the final victory of the battle through several decisive sneak attacks, Zhengliang has been surrounded The magnates ridiculed him as the sneak attack eagle), etc., these actions are against the so-called "tradition" in the eyes of the magnates.

Thinking about it now, Zhengliang seems to have many similarities with Oda Nobunaga, and both of them were called fools because of some outrageous behaviors.The difference is that when the Luo family became a dominant daimyo in Masara, this kind of voice almost disappeared, but because of this, Nobunaga was questioned whether he was suitable to inherit the position of family governor, which in turn caused civil strife in the family in the future. [

To be unique and to win victory by any means is Masara's principle of war. This method of warfare, which is called "wild samurai" by later historians, is also the principle of Oda Nobunaga.Imagawa Yoshimoto also unfortunately became the stepping stone for Nobunaga to unify the world by any means.However, with Yoshimoto Imakawa as a person, and Nobunaga changing places, there is a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Asking him to pull out his family crest and wrap the horseshoe with cloth to sneak attack is like asking him to cover his face with a cloth to steal from someone's house. I would rather die than do it!

The difference with Oda Nobunaga is that it will take ten years for Oda Nobunaga to display his talent, but at this time, Zhengliang has already developed this talent to perfection.Countless powerful and famous people have thus become the stepping stones for Zhengliang to unify the world.

It can be said that Zheng Liang replaced Oda Nobunaga and opened a new era of the Warring States ahead of schedule.Oda Nobunaga used a new style of warfare in the Owari Ozama battle to kill the "Number One Archer of the Tokaido" Imagawa Yoshimoto, which greatly shocked the powerful names of the Wa Kingdom at that time and heralded a new era. 's arrival

During these ten years, Zhengliang gradually led the little-known Luo family, and after several battles that shocked the Japanese kingdom, he finally became the great name of Kyushu. historical meaning.

On the surface of the sea outside Hakata Bay, in the vast blue sea water, one wave after another kept coming, hitting the rocks, making a roar of heaven and earth, and splashing snow-white foam.The new historical trend had already started the moment the Luo family rose.To be continued.If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (o) to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation.Mobile phone users please go to o to read. )
