Ashikaga Molong personally took the Ming merchants and Spanish merchants to form a fleet to catch Tao Qingxian, but he didn't have any special feelings for this unparalleled general in the Western Kingdom, although Tao Qingxian, who started with a small surname, is still a handsome guy to middle age, but his ability is real.

In fact, Tao Qingxian is the only person in the western land who can suppress Maori Yuan, before Tao Qingxian and Maori Yuan both worked for the Ouchi family, but after the Ouchi family suffered a fiasco in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, Maori Yuan embarked on the road of self-reliance, began to maneuver between the Niko family and the Ouchi family, and annexed the Kobayakawa family and the Yoshikawa family, successfully suppressed the land of Aki Province, and greatly increased its power. And Tao Qingxian was used as a scapegoat after the fiasco of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, and his power was greatly reduced, especially the lord Ouchi Yoshitaka began to favor Sagara Takeren, and gradually alienated Tao Qingxian, and after Sagara Takeren came to power, he began to suppress the princes in various places, strengthen Ouchi Yoshitaka's power, and restrain foreign wars, and restore the domestic economy and people's livelihood. All this caused a serious confrontation between Sagara Takeren and Tao Qingxian, and directly triggered Tao Qingxian's action to assassinate Sagara Takeren with generals from all over the country, but the assassination was discovered by Ouchi Yoshitaka and severely punished Tao Qingxian. This greatly hurt Tao Qingxian's feelings, you must know that Tao Qingxian has served Ouchi Yoshitaka since he was a teenager, how many bloody battles were fought by Tao Qingxian with his troops, Yueshan Tomita Castle was defeated, and the famous generals of the Ouchi family died countless battles, and it was Tao Qingxian who led the troops to break off, covering Ouchi Yoshitaka's retreat. After the war, he was used as a scapegoat, Tao Qingxian had no complaints, and after the war, he was deprived of power, Tao Qingxian did not complain, he always felt that Ouchi Yoshitaka was just forced to do so, but he was still sincere to him, but for Sagara Takeren to punish himself, this made Tao Qingxian unbearable, this is not only an emotional matter, but also a sign: he has fallen out of favor!!

After realizing that if he continued to wait, he might face the danger of being cleansed, Tao Qingxian couldn't bear it anymore and decided to raise troops to resist. However, many generals in the Ouchi army sympathized with Tao Qingxian's plight, and did not contribute to the work, and some even defected on the battlefield, as a result, Ouchi Yoshitaka's crusading army was defeated by Tao Qingxian with 3,000 people, and Ouchi Yoshitaka committed suicide in the case of rebellion and family separation. After Tao Qingxian took control of the Ouchi family, he did not replace him, but welcomed back Ouchi Qingying as the governor of the Ouchi family, and he led the army back to Jucheng, which was appreciated by the local real power faction of the Ouchi family, and the supreme authority of the Ouchi family was transferred from the governor to Tao Qingxian.

However, the death of Ouchi Yoshitaka dealt a heavy blow to the Bunji faction of the Ouchi family, and Mori Yuan took advantage of the situation at this time and wantonly recruited the forces of the Bunji faction for his own use, which touched the bottom line of the Ouchi family's military commanders. Therefore, Tao Qingxian led an army of 25,000 to crusade against Maori Yuan, and Maori Yuan in land warfare was full of wisdom, Tao Qingxian still suppressed him with his unparalleled talent in the West, but the naval battle was set up by Maoli Yuan, which led to the shaking of the army's morale and a complete rout. Although Tao Qingxian was fished out by Ashikaga Molong, the main force of the Ouchi family was almost wiped out in Itsukushima, and the impact of such a fiasco on the Ouchi family was even far greater than the battle of Gassan Tomita Castle, as for how to end it depends on Tao Qingxian himself. Anyway, Ashikaga Molong is just here to show his attitude: I support Tao Qingxian. That's it, even if the Ouchi family declines, it will be a big force that occupies the land of Shikoku, and no matter how strong the Maori Yuan is, it will only be a country now. Tao Qingxian should be able to suppress him for a few years, so that Maoli Yuan will not swell into the overlord of the Ten Kingdoms in less than ten years. When the time comes, I know that Mori Moto will definitely collude with Oda Nobunaga to resist his Kamiro army in Kinki, so I have to take precautions.

After Ashikaga Molong and Tao Qingxian had an in-depth conversation, they returned to Kanto by boat, in the final analysis, the naval strength is not enough, otherwise this time Ashikaga Molong will come with his own fleet, but he can't help it, shipbuilding is originally a long-term process, and it is not the same as recruiting and registering, just find one at random. It is normal for the shipbuilding industry to build a big ship for a year or two. So this time, Ashikaga Molong pulled the Ming fleet and the Spanish fleet together to arm and mediate the battle between the two sides. Anyway, the pirates are still pirates after all, and they are not the private soldiers of the Maori Yuan, they don't have the determination and courage to attack the Ming fleet and the Spanish fleet at the same time, so even if they win, it will be a miserable victory, and they will not gain any benefits.

The peace of the Wa Kingdom was once again maintained by the efforts of Ashikaga Molong, so that Ashikaga Molong planted the land in Kanto for another year, but soon he received the news that made him look very sad and happy and crazy behind his back: Wang Nao died!

Wang Zhi actually died very inexplicably, at least he was very sorry for his identity. Because of the Ashikaga Molong to the Ming State of the name of the minister, so Wang Zhi accepted the imperial court many years earlier than in history, and also received a higher treatment than in history, playing around every day, and no one dared to stop him, after all, this is a popular fried chicken in the political arena. But Wang Zhi's defection to the imperial court seriously damaged the interests of the coastal gentry after all, and as a result, when Wang Zhi was shopping, he was taken down by the local officials on the spot, on the grounds that the action was too ostentatious, and before Wang Zhi's network in various places was mobilized, Wang Zhi was directly pushed to the execution ground and cut down! It's cut! Yes, that's it! Die of too ostentatious action! It is said that the petty official who cut Wang Zhi was not punished much, and was directly transferred to another magistrate to be promoted to a higher level, and he was punished three cups by himself.

This petty officer is fine, the fleet under Wang Zhi's command will be blown up, originally the Ming army sailors have secretly surrounded these old pirates, ready to catch turtles in an urn, all actions are as perfect as textbooks, but the Ming army sailors who have been eroded were almost wiped out under the attack of the old pirates who were already mourning soldiers, and the old pirates easily broke through the encirclement of the sailors and left. However, leaving the shore, the old pirates were seriously divided. Some of Wang Zhi's descendants went to Kanto to take refuge in Ashikaga Molong with the fleet with the majority of Japanese people in the fleet according to the instructions left by Wang Zhi before, some sailed to Hangzhou to take the opportunity to plunder to vent their anger, and some ran back to find the island to occupy the mountain as the king. The strongest pirate group in Asia, and possibly the strongest in the world at the moment, fell apart, and it was not until the rise of Li Dan that they were reunited in history, but that was a story for later.

Knowing the news that Wang Zhi was beheaded by the Ming officials, the Kanto region was also full of mourning, although the Ming immigrants usually had no good impression of this old pirate leader, but after all, it was the people who rescued them from the brink of starvation. Ashikaga Moryū personally presided over the largest sacrifice ceremony in Edo Castle, and built an ancestral hall for Wang Nao that was one size larger than Hachiman Jingu, and arranged for people to worship at four o'clock. This move made Wang Zhi's descendants cry a lot, feeling that their boss still didn't entrust the wrong person, anyway, they were already cold to Daming, and they all expressed their allegiance to Ashikaga Molong. In this way, Ashikaga Molong successfully inherited the legacy of Wang Nao's painstaking operation in the Kanto region for many years, as well as part of Wang Nao's fleet, plus the fleet built by Ashikaga Molong himself over the years, it can be said that the Ashikaga family at this time already had the strongest navy in the Wa country.
