Warring States Eagle

As for the Zhongshan City area in the woods of the mountain range in the northwest corner of the Hyuga Kingdom, the area has always maintained its original appearance in order to paralyze the forces of the Hyuga Kingdom, so even though it has been secretly occupied by the Luo family for five or six years, the local area His income is only more than 5000 shi.

Of course, until August of the second year of Hongzhi (1556), the Luo family had already occupied the Hizen Kingdom, Chikugo Country, Higo Country, Chikuzen Country, Buzen Country, Iki Island, Tsushima Island and the West Country in the Kyushu area. The entire territory of Zhou Fangguo.

In addition, it also occupies most of the Bungo country in the Kyushu region, as well as most of the Nagato country and Anyi country in the Western region.Among them, in the area of ​​Bungo Country, among the eight counties of Hidaka, Kyuju, Naruto, Ono, Kaibe, Oita, Hayami, and Kunisaki, the Luo family has completely controlled Hidaka, Kumu, Naruto, Ohno, Oita, and Hayami Among the seven counties of Kunizaki, only the southern half of Haibu County is still occupied by the former Otomo family retainer, the Saeki family, and the Ito family of Hyuga Kingdom.As for the West Country, the eastern half of Abu County in Nagato Country is still occupied by the Yoshimi family; in Anyi Junior High School, the two counties of Yamagata and Takada are the home of the Maori family, and the Maori family naturally guarded it desperately. For this reason, Maori Yuan may even give up the Maori family's territorial influence in Beihou Country, Beizhong and other places in order to fully protect their lair.As for the Hyuga Kingdom in Kyushu, the Bingo Kingdom in the West Kingdom, and a small part of the Yiyu Kingdom, they are also controlled by the Luo family.Among them, the Zhongshan Castle area in the northwest corner of Usuki County in Hyuga State was secretly occupied by the Luo family; the Mihara Castle in the west coast of Oda County and Asakuchi County in Bingo State was occupied by the Luo family; The coastal area of ​​the county has also become the territory of the Luo family.

In addition to land, there are also seas, including the Seto Inland Sea, Iyu Beach, Agi Beach, Zhoufang Beach, Beppu Bay, Kanmon Strait.And surrounded by the west coast of Kyushu Main Island, Tsushima Island, and the west coast of Honshu Island Nagato (especially Mishima County), it is surrounded by Yingtan, Genkai Nada, Karatsu Bay, Hakata Bay, Iki Channel, and Tsushima Strait.The sea area formed by these two places.At this time, it has become the new inner sea of ​​Luo's family.

In addition, Daming Sea, Shimabara Bay, Orange Beach, Yatsushiro Sea, Amakusa Beach, and Omura Bay were surrounded by Kyushu's Hizen Country, Chikugo Country, and Higo Country, which became the internal sea area of ​​​​the Luo family a long time ago. , Jiaoli Beach, and Wudao Beach.At this time, three internal waters have been formed inside the Luo family, where only the Luo family has power.Overall, at this time, the Luo family has completely controlled Hizen Country, Chikugo Country, Higo Country, Chikuzen Country, Buzen Country, Iki Island, Tsushima Island, Zhoufang Country, Bungo Country, Nagato Country, Aki All or most of the eleven countries of the country have become the veritable guardians of the eleven countries (among them, the guardian of Higo under the sixth position and the guardian of Chikugo, the guardian of Hizen, and the guardian of Chikuqen who are under the sixth position respectively) Guardian, Buzen Guardian, Bungo Guardian and other identities have been recognized by the shogunate).In addition, the influence of the Luo family also extended to the Hyuga country in Kyushu, the Bingo country in Honshu, and the Yiyu country in Shikoku.The power spans Kyushu, Honshu, and Shikoku, and is distributed in 300 countries. The total income of the territory has reached [-] million shi per year.Completely became one of the well-deserved overlords of the Warring States Period.

Of course, each of these 300 million stone territories has its own characteristics, which can be seen from the income of each place.Areas such as Nagato State, Zhou Fang State, and Anyi State, since they are newly occupied areas, needless to say, it is already very good that these areas can recover their previous income in the next one or two years. Even in the future, the Luo family will need to give great support to these areas.

As for regions such as Chikuzen, Buzen, and Bungo, it can be seen from the annual income data of the Cabinet.The income of this type of area is increasing almost every year, but the total income is actually not as good as that of Hizen country, which has been developed for a long time.And once there is a major natural disaster or riot, the income of the year will change greatly.Obviously this type of area belongs to the area in the beginning of development, the income is not stable, and it is only self-sufficient at present, it is difficult to give much support to the Luo family.

The last type of areas are naturally areas such as Hizen country, Chikugo country, and Higo country. From their annual data, it can be seen that in recent years, even if extreme natural disasters , the annual income of these regions basically keeps at a certain income figure, and the income performance is very stable.Its stable state is not only reflected in income, but even chaos such as riots rarely occurs.In short, it is very stable.These areas are the areas that have continued to support the development of the Luo family.

Some people may have objections to the Luo family's territorial development strategy at this time.In fact, the current Warring States has two main strategies for the development of its own territory. One is to take all the land without construction, and let the territory maintain its original state and self-destruction; support.

The first method is actually the method adopted by most of the Warring States forces at present, and with the development of time, after most of the daimyos transform from guardian daimyos to Warring States daimyos, most of the forces will develop to the second way of territory step forward.

The current method adopted by the Luo family is naturally the second method, but in terms of the balance between demand and support, the Luo family is more pursuing a large amount of investment in the early stage, and then relying on the territory developed in the later stage to fully develop the Luo family and go abroad again. expansion.

In fact, when the Luo family was just rising, the development strategy adopted was naturally based on taking money and supplementing it with a small amount of support. After all, they didn't even have the strength to protect themselves, so why talk about development?Therefore, when the Luo family was first established, it was natural to focus on predatory development to strengthen its own strength.However, with the continuous development of the Luo family, when the Luo family had the strength to protect themselves, Zheng Liang changed the strategy of territorial development to development-oriented, and then developed and expanded again relying on the stamina of development.

Why and how?Because from a long-term perspective, if the territory is managed in the first way of plundering and disregarding development, then it is very likely that the predicament that will be faced is internal and external troubles.So, why is it so determined?
