Warring States Eagle

Tianwen 18th year ([-]), August.The Shimadzu family, who were about to take over the entire Northern Satsuma area, accepted the mediation of the Kyushu overlord, the Roche family, and suspended their strategy for the Northern Satsuma area.

As soon as the news came out, the noble families of Northern Satsuma, who were almost wiped out by the Shimadzu family, were naturally very happy.However, the Sagara family in Kuma County, Higo Country, who formed an alliance with them before, couldn't be happier.

"Pfft!"

After learning the news that the Hishikari and Kitahara families in Kita-Satsuma, Nishi-Osumi, and Nishi-Hyuga areas not only abandoned the Sagara family's pact with them, but even started to help the Luo family block the border around Higashi-Kuma County where the Sagara family is located. , Uemura Laixing, who was already ill in bed, immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!" Haruhiro Sagara who was on the side was shocked when he saw this.At this time, Manmanmaru (Sagara Yoshiyo), who was only five years old, looked at his grandfather Uemura Yorixing who was vomiting blood and his father Sagara Haruhiro who was hurriedly wiping the blood for his grandfather.At his five-year-old age, he really still couldn't understand the crisis Sagara was facing at this time.With the Sagara family losing allies in these surrounding areas, Sagara is not far from genocide.

……

"Bang!"

Gan Fu Jianxu, the governor of Gan Fu's family who was also in Gaoshan City of Dasumi Country, was also taken aback when he heard the news. He lost his composure and even broke his favorite Ming Dynasty porcelain by mistake without noticing it.

"Is it really here? Kyushu Eagle, have you still stretched your claws into the southern Kyushu area? It's just that after the Kitahara family, the Hishika family and other tycoons have formed an alliance with the Luo family, will they still form an alliance with the Luo family? In addition, the forced What will happen to Takahisa Shimadzu who stopped attacking Kita Satsuma?" Thinking of this.Gan Fu Jianxu couldn't help but look serious.

……

"Hehe. It seems that the sneak attack eagle still can't rest after capturing Bungo. Now it has extended its claws to southern Kyushu. What do you think about this, dear dear?" In a courtyard in Xiangjiaduzhicheng, Beixiang Zhongxiang, who was over 60 years old, asked.

"Father, after many efforts of our family, the Kitahara family in the western region is still unwilling to join forces with our family to fight against the Ito family. Now the Luo family's intervention just provides an opportunity for our family. The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend, Luo Shi The family is the most suitable ally of the family!" said Tadaki Shimadzu.

"Hmm." Seeing his son analyze clearly.Kitago Tadakano nodded in satisfaction, motioning for Shimadzu Tadaki to continue.

"Before that, the Ito family had helped the Otomo family to deal with the Luo family several times before. Therefore, the Ito family and the Luo family have been in an endless hostile relationship. And the main family is also fighting the Ito family in the southern part of Hyuga. The Luo family is in Hyuga. The southwest direction also borders the Ito family's sphere of influence, and the Ito family has become the common enemy of the main family and the Luo family, as long as the two can form an alliance, they can jointly deal with the Ito family."

"In that case, let's quickly discuss with Tadahiro Shimadzu about the candidates for the envoy to form an alliance with the Luo family." Kitago Takahiro finally nodded in agreement.

……

"Damn! Damn! Damn Kitahara Yuken! No wonder I have been unwilling to join forces with my family to deal with the Beixiang family before. It turns out that I have already formed an alliance with that sneak attack eagle!" Everyone in the Ito family was in the county council hall.Yoshisuke Ito scolded angrily.

"Hmph! Since you are willing to hug the thin claw of the sneak attacking eagle, then let the family destroy you." Thinking of this.Immediately, Yito Yoshisuke's eyes lit up fiercely, "Here's an order to let the army of Sanshan City approach the territory of the Kitahara family."

"No! My lord, this matter must never be done!" Seeing that my lord began to lose his nerve again, the retainers below immediately advised, "My lord, the autumn harvest is about to come, and this matter should be decided after the autumn harvest."

"Huh! If that's the case, let's let Kitahara Yuken off for the time being." After hearing this and pondering for a while, Ito Yoshisuke also felt that the retainer's suggestion was not unreasonable, so he finally gave up the decision to immediately attack the Kitahara family.

……

Just as the retainers of the Ito family said, the autumn harvest season in September is about to enter at this time, and all the powerful and famous are busy harvesting grain with guns.The country of Wa, which was full of wars before, regained its calm in an instant.

The beginning of September is indeed a harvest season for the Luo family.

In the Bungo country, the Luo family attacked from the north and the south respectively, and repelled the coalition forces of the Otomo Saeki family and the Ito family in the south direction, allowing the Luo family to recuperate at the southern border of the Bungo country.In the north, the army of the Otomo family entered into a mutual offensive and defensive war in the Beppu Nada Plain, which turned the Beppu Bay of the Otomo family into ruins and seriously affected the spring plowing work within the Otomo family.

On the coast of Bungo country, the Luo family's navy controlled the sea route from the coast of Bungo country's East County to the coast of Hyuga country.More importantly, he also formed an alliance with the Xituji family in the Shikoku area across the sea.The only pity is that Usuki Kansu, the envoy of the Otomo family who also went to the Shikoku area to win allies, escaped.

In front of the Chikuzen Kingdom, the Luo family successfully held an auction in Hakata, raising more than 3 shi of grain. At the same time, they initially attracted most of the merchants in the area west of Kyoto, and a business alliance controlled by the Luo family gradually took shape.

As for the entanglement with the Ouchi family in the Chikuzen country, due to the various attacks of the Luo family, the Munakata family belonging to the Ouchi family was harassed by the Luo family and suffered heavy losses. Thousands of people.What's more, the Qiuyue family, which apparently still belongs to the Ouchi family's forces, has reached a series of covenants with the Luo family to jointly deal with the Ouchi family.

In the southern part of Kyushu, under the operation of Yoshioka Nagatsuki, the Luo family successfully forced the Shimadzu family to stop their expansion, achieved the initial purpose of containing the Shimadzu family, and at the same time penetrated the influence of the Luo family into the south. Kyushu area.

In Kyoto, they have also obtained a lot of promotions in official positions, and even their family status will soon be promoted, and they also took the opportunity to strengthen their good relationship with the imperial court and shogunate.

In terms of the internal affairs of the territory, after a series of on-site inspections by Zhengliang, the internal affairs of the territory have reached a new level.In addition, Hizen, Chikugo, and Higo countries have not suffered any wars this year, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the climate is relatively good.It is estimated that this year will be a bumper harvest in these areas.

As for the regions of Chikuzen and Bungo that had just experienced the war, although the Ro family's Cabinet vigorously carried out restoration work after the war, a poor harvest was inevitable.But it is enough to basically guarantee that the citizens will not starve to death in the following winter.What's more, with the end of the autumn harvest, these areas will start large-scale paid corvee labor under the leadership of the cabinet (increasing the development of the territory through infrastructure construction, and at the same time solving the problem of food and clothing for the people in the territory). I believe that the next winter will These regions will have a smooth transition.
