Warring States Eagle

The rain in the sky was still falling, and Zheng Liang, accompanied by Shitou and others, went to the cabin where the captain was, and then Shitou and the others left first.On the other hand, Zheng Liang paused for a while under the wooden eaves in front of the cabin, mainly to wait for the water droplets on his body to drain before entering, otherwise his whole body would be wet, and he would be a little rude to the owner inside.

After the water dripped from his body, Zheng Liang immediately knocked on the door.

"Come in." A voice came from inside.But Zheng Liang felt a little surprised, because it was a woman's voice.

With a "squeak", Zheng Liang pushed open the wooden door of the cabin and walked in.Looking up, this cabin doesn't look too big, and it is naturally surrounded by wooden structures, but Zheng Liang saw a nautical chart nailed to a wooden wall, and there was even a ship hanging beside it. A compass dedicated to the navy of the Ming Dynasty.After a table, a chair, and a bookcase are placed in the cabin, there is a screen embroidered with big red peonies, and behind the screen there seems to be this bed curtain.The middle part of this cabin is estimated to be able to accommodate about six or seven people at the same time.The only source of light is a small window on the right side of the room, through which a pale blue sea can be seen.

And as the owner of the cabin, he is also in front of that small window at this time, watching the rainy sea scene outside the window.When he heard Zhengliang's footsteps coming in, the owner of the cabin finally turned around.Zhengliang's eyes immediately met the owner of the cabin.

Immediately, Zheng Liang was taken aback, and stood in the same place numbly.Amazing, really amazing.The host has clean, short hair that goes over the ears but not shoulder-length.In this age of long hair.The owner of the cabin has to be said to be an alternative in the alternative.But I have to say.Even if it is alternative, it is glamorous and unparalleled.The whole body is dressed in gorgeous black and brocade clothes.She also wore a big pink peony on her chest with a flamboyant personality, and covered one shoulder with a piece of red satin.It's just that when he seriously looked at the beautiful appearance of the owner of the cabin (no way, this is the part that a man almost must see when he sees a beautiful woman), Zheng Liang couldn't help being stunned again.

"you you……"

"Why, I haven't seen you for a few years, but the young master has forgotten the little girl?" The woman couldn't help but smile lightly after seeing Zheng Liang's strange expression.This is this smile, but it is so exciting.

"You...you...you are Zhu..." Finally.Zheng Liang spit out a few words from the middle of his mouth.No wonder Zhengliang was surprised!Now he is basically sure that the beauty in front of him is Zhu Zining, the sole heir of the Zhu family who he met in Ningbo Mansion of Ming Dynasty, who supported the family business by himself.It’s just that Zhu Zining at the beginning was a typical beauty of the Ming Dynasty who was graceful but stubborn in his heart, but now Zhu Zining standing in front of Zheng Liang, no matter in terms of clothes or appearance, seemed to have become another person , which made Zhengliang completely unable to react for a while.

It has been seven or eight years since the two of them parted ways that year. During this period of time, Zheng Liang could only occasionally hear about Zhu Zining from Wang Hai.In general, her situation has not been very good, because she has lost the support of the officialdom.He was even continuously suppressed by officials and wealthy businessmen who tried to seize the family wealth.The family business of the Zhu family is going from bad to worse. Even with the secret help of Wang Hai, Shi Shi and others, they can barely maintain it.Of course, this is also the news that Zheng Liang received more than a year ago.And in the ensuing more than a year, what happened to Zhu Zining?

"Let's settle the external affairs first. It looks like your fleet is being besieged by others?" Seeing that Zheng Liang was still staring at him, Zhu Zining couldn't help but blush, and then reminded.

When Zhu Zining mentioned this, Zhengliang immediately came to his senses. Even though there were many things happened in Zhu Zining that Zheng Liang didn't know about, but at this moment, he had to settle the external affairs first, so he immediately made a solemn statement to Zhu Zining After paying a salute, he said: "I also ask the girl to help me..."

Just when Zhengliang and Zhu Zining met on the huge blessing boat, a strange scene occurred on the battlefield outside.After Zhengliang's continuous encouragement and the arrival of a huge lucky boat, the Luo family's navy, which was in trouble, not only increased its strength sharply, but also its morale immediately rose.

In comparison, the Ouchi family, the Bodo family, and the Zong family's naval forces, who were the hostile forces of the Luo family, at this time some temporary farmers and soldiers who had never seen Fuchuan were terrified and shouted.After finally stabilizing the fleet, the leaders of the three families gathered together immediately.

"Master General, do you think it's better for us to attack by force or retreat?" the navy general of the Zong family asked Mao Liyuan.Seeing that Luo's family's navy has been supported by a huge ship, it has instantly become a hard nail. Once the two sides attack each other, it is likely to cause great losses to the clan's navy.So the general of the navy had the idea of ​​retreating before he got the permission of the governor.

"No, my lord general, you can't retreat!" On the other side, Naota Tsuruta, the naval general of Bodo (the elder brother of the Luo family's territory that was designated as Tsuruta before Bodo, and who was aliased as Kuro), shouted immediately. If the naval forces of the Uchi and Zong families were withdrawn, the Hakata navy would no longer be the opponent of the Luo family's navy, and then Iki Island would fall into the hands of the Luo family, which was unacceptable to them.

"Master Sasu, are you blatantly disobeying Mongyoshi Tiao-sama's support order?" While begging Mori Moto not to withdraw the troops, Tsuruta Naoya asked the Zong family's navy general Sasu Morioda angrily.

"Hmph!" Sasu Morimoto was too lazy to answer Tsuruta Nao's question.At this time, when the strength of the enemy and the enemy are about the same (to be precise, the strength of the Luo family's naval force has the upper hand), as not a direct victim of the Luo family's attack, it is natural to protect their own strength from being hurt. The premise is a big loss, so even if Tsuruta Naoma sued his family governor at this time, he would not be afraid, and he might be praised by the family governor.

While Tsuruta Nao was arguing with Sasu Morimoto, Mori Moto began to think in his heart.It can be said.This time is the second time he has fought against the Luo family (actually the third time. But at this time, Mao Liyuan has not yet determined whether the last assassination and rumors were done by the Luo family).

Recalling the time when I followed Ouchi Yoshitaka to attack Nizi's Izumo country.That time was the first meeting between Mao Liyuan and Luo Shizhenliang.At that time, the Luo family was just a pawn that the Ouchi family arranged in Hizen country to contain the wealthy families of the local pro-young family and to prevent Chikugo Otomo's forces from infiltrating into Hizen country.It's just that Luo Shizhengliang's eyes always gave Mao Liyuan a feeling as deep as the sea. This kind of feeling can only appear in the kind of people with deep thoughts and great ambitions, so Mao Liyuan secretly Remind Ouchi Yoshitaka to pay attention to the Roche family.It's a pity that Yoshitaka Ouchi didn't seem to pay much attention to his reminder, which finally led to the situation that the Ouchi family is facing today.In retrospect, the incident where Masara Roshi was injured while rescuing Yoshitaka Ouchi and took the opportunity to return to Hizen country was full of doubts.

And at the end of last year, when the Luo family and the Nizi family formed an alliance, forming a situation of attacking the Ouchi family.Feeling the pressure, Yoshitaka Ouchi wrote an urgent letter by himself and sent it to Motozuo Mouri.

The letter mainly told Mao Liyuan about the alliance between the Luo family and the Nizi family.At the same time, inform Mori Motojo that due to the alliance between the two, the pressure on the Ouchi family and their border areas has increased sharply, so in the future, they will reduce their support for the Maori family's strategy in Bingo, Bigo, and Misa, and even when necessary The Maori family will also be required to send troops to deal with these two families.

This decision of Yoshitaka Ouchi surprised Maori Yuan.Now is a good time for Maori to infiltrate into Beihou, Beizhong and Meizuo in an all-round way!Although even after these areas are defeated, they still belong to the Ouchi family in name, but the Maori family can not only plunder materials and other materials in the process of attacking to accumulate strength secretly, but also expand the influence and reputation of the Maori family in the local area ( In this era, even a little ambitious big name is very particular about reputation, at least in this way you can get more people to join you).More importantly.For the areas that have been conquered, almost all of them are handed over to the Maori family for temporary management (that is, they belong to the Ouchi family in name. In fact, they are managed by the Maori family. The Maori family only needs to regularly Just hand in the annual tribute), only part of the territory will be entrusted to other retainers (it can also be regarded as Ouchi Yoshitaka's disguised surveillance of the Maori family).

If the Ouchi family stopped supporting the Maori family's local rule at this time, the Maori family who had not fully controlled the new territory would not only face counterattacks from a large number of local forces, but even face the attack of the Nizi family's reinforcements.More importantly, the Maori family lost an opportunity to secretly accumulate strength.So Mao Liyuan immediately offered advice to Ouchi Yoshitaka to deal with the Luo family.After all, only by attacking the Luo family can the Ouchi family's resources be liberated, so that they can be invested in supporting the Maori family's strategy.Therefore, attacking the Luo family is tantamount to helping the Maori family themselves.

It is a pity that Mao Liyuan's assassination plan failed in the end.Then the Maori family fell into a series of assassinations and rumors.And this time, the reason why Mao Liyuan confronted the Luo family.The main reason is that Mori Moto took the opportunity to leave the side of Ouchi Yoshitaka who was full of surveillance, and then looked for opportunities outside to remotely control the development of the Maori family's territory in Ayi Country.What he didn't expect was that he met the legendary Hizen Eagle, the undefeated god of war, by such a coincidence here.

At that time, Mao Liyuan once again had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to eliminate the Hizen Eagle that was always causing trouble for the Ouchi family and thus affecting the development of the Maori family. Freed from the entanglement with the Luo family, so as to provide more support to the Maori family's Bingo country, Bei China, and the United States as the hope of the country's strategy.However, all of this was shattered with the sudden appearance of a Ming Dynasty blessing ship.

However, Mao Liyuan didn't feel lost because of this.He is already over half a hundred years old, and he has seen many things more clearly.Anyway, the purpose of this support is to prevent the Luo family from completely occupying Iki Island.As long as this goal is achieved, as for other hopes, it will be settled next time.

And at this time, he was also a little worried, if he really fought against the Luo family's navy at this time, would his old life be confessed here?Although I am a retainer of the Ouchi family, it is right to offer suggestions and even be loyal to the suzerain, but speaking from a selfish point of view, it seems that it is not worth losing my life for this.So Mori Moto immediately stopped the argument between Tsuruta Nao and Sasu Mori Madoka, and then said calmly:

"Maybe we don't need to fight the Luo family, and we don't need to retreat."

"what!?"

{ps: In view of the fact that some book friends recently thought that in the first few chapters, Mao Liyuan suddenly confronted the Luo family for the Ouchi family.Let's analyze it here:

First of all, please jump out of the concept of "the Mori family is the first warring state name in the Western Kingdom", and actually substitute it into the actual situation of the Mori family at this time.The Ouchi family at this time is actually very powerful, even stronger than Imagawa Yoshimoto who just unified Yuanjiang, Junfu, and Sanhe. Those who bring an army to Shangluo are not the kind of Shangluo who bring only a few people into the capital).If it weren't for a lot of messy things from the Ouchi family, it would be a problem whether the Maori family could rise (Although Yoshitaka Ouchi likes Kyoto culture too much, once he wakes up, his ability is not bad, at least he can suppress live in Maori's house).Even if the Maori can rise in the end, the time it takes will be much longer than in history.

Compared with the Ouchi family, the Maori family is still a wealthy family in Anyi Country who just abandoned the Nizi family and joined the Ouchi family. In history, the strength of the Maori family at this time is not even known as the name of the Warring States Period. (Of course, due to the emergence of Zheng Liang, the strength of the Maori family is now much stronger than in history).At this time, the Maori family still needs to slowly accumulate strength under the protection of the Ouchi family.At the same time, use the strength of the Ouchi family to resist the aggression of the Nizi family and accelerate the external expansion of the Maori family.To put it simply, it is a tree that is still growing rapidly under the cover of other big trees (it is not considered a sapling anymore).

In history, the Maori family also completely transformed into a real Warring States daimyo after Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed, defeated Tao Longfang, and the small fish swallowed the Ouchi family's inheritance like a big fish. He continued to expand his own power through various means, and eventually grew into the overlord of the Western Kingdom in the Warring States Period.However, before Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed, the Mori family was still a wealthy local family in Anyi, and Mori Moto was still a retainer of Ouchi Yoshitaka.Therefore, it is normal to offer advice and suggestions to Ouchi Yoshitaka (even if the advice and advice has no interest relationship with the Maori family, it will still be done. Although the Warring States Period was an era that focused on self-interest, at this time the Maori family After all, he needs to rely on the help of the big family, as an equivalent exchange of benefits, he also has to do his duty as a retainer).

In addition, it has been described in the article that since the Ouchi family will be distracted from dealing with the Roche family, it will affect the Maori family's strategy in Bingo and other regions (because the Ouchi family will change their support to the Maori family to deal with the Roche family. Since it has affected their own interests, in order to release the Ouchi family from the entanglement of the Luo family and provide more support to the Maori family, Mao Liyuan will naturally attack the Luo family even more (Here I want to review it. I wrote it a bit implicitly. I have to combine the content of the previous article and then scrutinize it before I can fully understand it. I will write more directly in the future).

In short, if everyone always regards the strength recorded in the game or in the literature (and underestimates the strength of the Ouchi family, it is estimated that everyone thinks that this is a master who will be wiped out soon, so there is no strength. But the game After all, it is still a game, and the book is still a book after all, and now it is in a real environment after all.) Looking at this plot from the perspective of the Maori family who has grown into the overlord of the Warring States Period, it is natural to think that Maori Yuan is just such an awesome guy. For the sake of Ouchi's family, go all the way to fight against Luo's family?Isn't this just looking for something to do?From this point of view, even if Nobunaga replaces Ouchi Yoshitaka as the suzerain of Mori Motonaku, it is estimated that everyone will feel abrupt. }(to be continued..)
