In his previous life, when he was studying in school, Wang Yuan would also play some games, and mainly single-player games.

I have played two Sengoku games in Japan, one is the "Nobunaga no Ambition" series, and the other is the "Taiko Rishiden" series.

The problem is that I have memorized some names now, and I have almost forgotten the details.

Wang Yuan was flipping through the trade accounts when he suddenly looked up at Bao Chaoxiang and asked, "You mean, the child you brought back is called Ouchi Yoshitaka?" ”

"Yes." Bao Chaoxiang replied.

"Yoshitaka Ouchi." Wang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Even if he can forget others, Wang Yuan will not forget Yoshitaka Ouchi and Harumoto Hosokawa.

In the game "Nobunaga's Ambition", if you choose the highest difficulty in the early stage, the territory next to Yoshitaka Ouchi and Hosokawa Harumoto is purely looking for death. At least at the level of Wang Yuan's weak chicken, he has been disgusted by these two countless times, and he will not forget it even if he crosses it again.

However, in the mid-game, these two are all scum!

Wang Yuan asked, "What is the current situation in Japan, have you inquired clearly?" ”

Bao Chaoxiang did not go to Japan to teach, and while he was lecturing, he also asked students about various situations.

Hearing Wang Yuan's question, Bao Chao immediately said: "The current situation in Japan is extremely chaotic, with many large and small feudal states, but in general, it can be divided into East and West Japan and four camps. In Eastern Japan, it was the Masa clan and the Takaji camp that were opposed, that is, the Ashikaga Masaka clan and the Ashikaga Takaki father and son were at war. In western Japan, it was the opposition between the Takaokoku camp and the Chengyuan camp, that is, the two righteous brothers Hosokawa Sumimoto and Hosokawa Takakuni were at war. The other feudal lords either remained neutral and fought small battles, or each sided with one of the four major factions. ”

Is it so peaceful and orderly?

It seems that Japan has not yet entered the real Warring States period.

Even the Ouchi clan and the Hosokawa clan are still in the same camp now, and they will probably not part ways until next year.

Not to mention Oda Nobunaga, even Oda Nobunaga's father was only six years old at this time.

Wang Yuan carefully looked at the simple map of Japan brought back by Bao Chaoxiang, and said with a smile: "Supply more to Matsuura, Arima, Kikuchi, and Sagara, and raise these little lords to let them fight to the death with the Ouchi clan." Japan that is completely chaotic is a good Japan, and it is convenient for us to do business for a long time. ”

Bao Chaoxiang said: "Ordinary businessmen want to do business with the Ouchi clan. First, it is most convenient to sail, and second, it is easier to buy and sell goods. Although the Matsuura clan is also very close, their strength is too weak to eat too many goods. The sea area where the Ma clan and the Shimazu clan are located are full of pirates, and unless there are very good merchants, they will definitely be plundered if they go there. ”

"That's right," Wang Yuan continued to look at the map, "In that case, then cultivate the Ouchi clan and let them continue to be strong and rich." Sell more luxury items in the past, and then cultivate cronies within the Ouchi clan, it is better to let the Ouchi clan unify western Japan, and then collapse itself from the inside. ”

Bao Chaoxiang said: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to operate. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Actually, it's not difficult. Today's Japanese court situation is a bit like China's Spring and Autumn Period, isn't the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom also divided by the three great ministers? ”

Wang Yuan is not a keyboard warrior, he is the right attendant of the Ming Dynasty, and he already has a deep understanding of national governance.

Don't look at the lively fighting in Japan, the military strength of each domain is very strong. But before real reunification, even North Korea can't compare, mainly because of the political structure!

If each feudal domain does not change its laws and reforms its political system, the larger the territory, the more dangerous it becomes. Once they encountered a setback, the retainers immediately rioted and played the game of the next gram, no different from the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States period in China.

If the Ouchi clan is rapidly rich and powerful because of Sino-Japanese trade, then his willingness to change the law is the weakest, and it is very likely that he will collapse internally after the unification of Western Japan - unless he can go all the way east to control the emperor.

Prior to the possession of steamships, Sino-Japanese trade could only affect western Japan, with the Ouchi clan and the Shimazu clan among the biggest gainers.

The Ouchi clan controls the official China-Japan and Asahi shipping lanes, and if there are no internal problems, they will inevitably become stronger and stronger. The Tsushima clan controls the Ryukyu trade, and can do business with China through the Ryukyus, which is also getting stronger and stronger.

During the Warring States period, the Ouchi clan suffered from civil strife and was eventually replaced by the Mori clan.

The Mori clan and the Tsushima clan took advantage of the sea trade until the end of the Qing Dynasty and jointly led Japan to carry out the Meiji Restoration. What Oda Nobunaga, what Toyotomi Hideyoshi, what Tokugawa Ieyasu, no matter how awesome the Japanese macho man from the sky, don't want to kill these two. Because these two companies have money and goods, their economic strength is very strong!

As long as Wang Yuan continued to channel profits to the powerful feudal domains of Western Japan and supported them to maintain their independence, Japan would not want to end the Warring States period at all.

It would be even more interesting if you could grab one or two royal bloodlines to western Japan. Don't talk about Japan's Warring States, let alone the Tokugawa Shogunate, it is estimated that it will be the Three Kingdoms of Japan, or the East and West Dynasties of Japan.

Bao Chaoxiang said: "That Ouchi Yoshitaka ......"

Wang Yuan smiled: "If he wants to apprentice, I'll accept it." ”

If we trade by sea, we will bind western Japan to China. Even if according to historical development, Toyotomi Hideyoshi actually unified Japan, he did not want to order the heroes to invade Korea. As long as the Ming Dynasty announced the termination of trade and imposed economic sanctions on western Japan, those daimyo in western Japan would definitely rebel, and Japan would immediately fall into civil strife again.

Of course, the premise of all this is that China itself must be strong enough.

……

Zong Shiqian took Ouchi Yoshitaka to visit Jin Xianmin, the commander of the city shipping department, and then went to visit the city shipping department to promote He Jiao, and comprehended the latest maritime trade regulations of the Ming Dynasty in detail.

It was not until the third day that they were summoned by Wang Yuan.

Ouchi Yoshitaka looked at the ruined earth temple surrounded by the military camp and said in surprise: "Zen master, why is the governor's mansion the most dilapidated and short?" ”

Zong Sheqian Dao, who is proficient in Sinology, explained: "Cui Ruochong, a high sage in the Tang Dynasty of China, once wrote "The Burrow": 'The mountain is not high, but the immortal is famous. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin'. A true virtuous man does not need a luxurious house to show himself. They themselves are the brightest stars, and they live in the Burrow, and they can make it dazzling. ”

Cui Ruochong is Cui Wei, the real author of "Burrow".

The "Burrow Ming" was placed under Liu Yuxi's name, and it was made a mistake by Wu Chucai in the Kangxi period to compile "Guwen Guan Zhi", and it has been falsely spread for hundreds of years, and even the middle school Chinese textbooks have also been wrong.

"Is that so?" Yoshitaka Ouchi was very surprised by this, because in his worldview, only the big house could show the dignity of the owner.

Zong Shiqian said, "This is the difference between heroes and mortals. ”

The two were ushered into the main hall, and Wang Yuan was sitting with his back to the land lord.

Zong Sheqian Dao immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Go down to the country and Ye Monk Zongshi, meet the Governor of the Heavenly Empire!" ”

Ouchi Yoshitaka also knelt down and said in a sentence that he had forcibly memorized: "Yoshitaka, the eldest son of the Ouchi clan in the lower country, meet the Governor of the Celestial Empire!" ”

Wang Yuan stood up with a smile: "Hurry up, two of you." ”

After Wang Yuan got up, Ouchi Yoshitaka was shocked inexplicably, because this governor was too tall, taller than other Ming people he had seen. He looked up at the Governor of the Ming Dynasty, as if there was a god standing in front of him, and thought: No wonder he can subdue the tiger with his bare hands, this must be the world's first-class fierce general.

During the Warring States period in Japan, not to mention civilians, it was difficult to describe the height of military generals.

1.5 meters and 1.6 meters are the norm, there are a lot of 1.3 meters and 1.4 meters, and Toyotomi Hideyori is 1.85 meters that is a genetic mutation. Known as the "Unparalleled in the East", Honda Tadakatsu, who was known as "Japan's Lu Bu" and "Japan's Zhang Fei" by later generations, is only about 1.4 meters tall according to the armor he left behind.

In the words of European missionaries, the Japanese Sengoku cavalry was a group of children who fought on dogs.

If you have a problem with your diet and don't have enough protein, where can you grow taller?

Zong Shi said humbly and respectfully: "My family guards the lord, admire the prestige of the governor, and hope that the governor can accept his son as a disciple. If the Governor agrees, he shall offer three thousand taels of silver as a prayer. There was also a famous knife as a gift, but it was taken away by the city. ”

"I don't want three thousand taels of silver," Wang Yuan said with a smile, "If the Ouchi clan is truly dedicated, then donate it to Hangzhou to build roads and build a port." ”

"The Governor is truly incorruptible!"

Zong Shiqian slapped a sycophant, and immediately said to Ouchi Yoshitaka: "Hurry up and apprentice!" ”

Ouchi Yoshitaka hurriedly knelt down: "Disciple to meet the teacher!" ”
