Astronomical 18th year, 1549 A.D., the end of August.

In that year, on the other side of the sea, the neighboring country of Daming, which was surrounded by water, had reached the middle and late stages. In Europe, Charles V declared war on Frank I and invaded France; Henry VIII had succeeded to the throne of Ireland and had his sights set on King James of Scotland, who wanted nothing more than to get rid of him...... Both in the East and in the West, the dark clouds of war loom over each other.

At this time, the Luo family was already dominating the Hizen Kingdom, Chikugo Kingdom, Higo Kingdom, and Fenggo Kingdom in Kyushu, and the powerful invasion of Chikuzen Province and Hyuga Country, with a territory income of millions of stone and a population of more than 900,000. Even so, Masashi did not relax his intelligence collection on various local powerful names in the Japanese Kingdom.

During this time, some of the characters who left their footprints in history were also born one after another. For example, Nohime's brother Saito Yoshiryu's sister-in-law, Saito Ryuko, was born, and Nohime, who got the news, was very happy. In order to express her gratitude to Masato for telling her the news, at her request, she became the secretary of Masato when dealing with government affairs during this time.

But in Masaara's opinion, Nohime intends to take this opportunity to get more news about the Saito family as soon as possible. It's just that the innocent Nohime doesn't know what to do, and at this time, the beloved brother Saito Yoshiryu she remembers has already begun to contradict Saito Michizo because of the rumors that she is the widow of Toki Yoriyi. The Battle of Nagara River was about to be staged, and Michizo Saito was killed by his own son's rebellion, and Michizo Saito, one of the three heroes of the Warring States Period, was killed (the other two heroes were Hojo Sakumo and Matsunaga Hide).

Honda Tadakatsu, who is known as the "No. 1 Fierce General of the Warring States", "Oni no Heihachi", and the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa, also fell to the ground. His father, Tadashi Honda, was not yet born when Tadashi Honda was not yet born, and he fought against Oda Nobuhide at Ansho Castle. He died of heavy bleeding from multiple arrows in his body, at the age of 22, and before he died, he shouted "Nabenosuke." Become a great samurai! Having lost his father, Tadashi and his mother, Koyo, moved to Dong Village, where they learned calligraphy, martial arts, marksmanship, and other skills. According to the development of history, the eight-year-old Honda Tadakatsu will go to Myogen Temple to learn the art of war from the monk Keisen, and the following year he will be praised as a genius by Keizumi, and then he will begin to wander around Mikawa.

But in this life, because of the emergence of political goodness. Honda Tadakatsu's original life trajectory needs to be changed. At this time, the two fathers and sons, Honda Toshimasa and Honda Masanobu, whose families had settled in Hizen, had already received the instruction of Masarashi, and not long ago they had sent their clansmen to the place where Honda Tadakatsu's mother and son were living to take the family to settle in the territory of the Luo family.

Over the years, Toshimasa Honda and Masanobu Honda kept writing back about their settlement in Hizen. A large number of Hondo people have already migrated to Hizen to settle down. It is believed that with the status of these two in the hearts of Honda Tadakatsu's mother and son, as well as the settlement conditions that the Luo family had opened up to relocate them this time, coupled with the chaos in the Mikawa region due to the battle between the Oda family and the Imagawa family at this time, these factors should completely attract them to settle in Hizen Province.

In addition to Honda Tadakatsu. Masa-ra was still keeping an eye on another person. That's the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Masarashi has already made up his mind to make Toyotomi Hideyoshi's lustful and despicable (don't be fooled by those in-game settings) in advance. The real history is often hidden in a lot of intrigue and blood) guy is killed, so that this guy will not run out and get in the way in the future. According to historical records, Toyotomi Hideyoshi at this time was supposed to be a domestic servant in the home of Matsushita Kabei in Enoe Province (present-day Shizuoka Prefecture). The monkey's first job is to help his master with his slippers. Since it was his greatest wish to go to work in a samurai's house, Monkey worked diligently, and it didn't take long for Kabei to take him seriously and promote him to the position of cashier.

However, the monkey's ability and diligence were jealous of his colleagues, and a large group of people often slandered the monkey in front of Kabei. Although Kabei repeatedly protected him, he could not stop the slander of the people. Finally, he was fired after Jiabei kindly explained the reason. Monkey worked in Matsushita Kabei's home for four years, and although he was fired, he still thanked Kabei for his promotion and care. Later, after the monkey dominated the world, he sent people to find Matsushita Kabei, and gave him a territory of 31,000 koku in the Kuno place of Enoe Province, and made him a daimyo.

If the historical record is true, then the monkey should be in Kabei's house. To the disappointment of Masahiro, the Luo family searched for three years in the Yuanjiang River, but not only did they not find any trace of the monkey, but they did not even find the legendary Jiabei family, but found the real soldiers, Sanbei and the like, but there was no Jiabei. The bloody facts tell Zhengliang that the historical records may not be true.

I couldn't find any trace of the monkey, so I had to stare at Oda Nobunaga, who must have intersected with monkeys in history. For Oda Nobunaga, Masarashi was also hesitant to assassinate him.

Nobunaga often went to the markets outside the city and even the suburbs to play, and this habit of life definitely provided a lot of opportunities for the Roche Black Hawk. However, Masayo was worried that by killing Nobunaga, the entire history of the Wa Kingdom would be completely changed, and his advantage in the overall view of history would be wiped out, which was obviously very disadvantageous.

As for how to change the course of history after the assassination of Nobunaga. This is easy to understand, if Nobunaga dies, then almost no one will be able to stop Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiro (although the Luo family is allied with the Imagawa family, but of course Masara does not want the Imagawa family to go to Loku before him). Once Imagawa Yoshimoto did occupy Kyoto, what would be the historical situation? In addition, without Nobunaga, the Tokugawa family would probably no longer exist, and who would even stop Takeda Harunobu and Uesugi Kenshin from Joraku in the future? Masara found that as long as Nobunaga died, many things would change, so in order to prevent history from changing too much, Masara even assisted Oda Nobunaga in killing Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Scold! What an irony! Originally, I had the idea of assassinating the other party, but after analyzing it, I found out that I had to help the other party. And for the allies who have just formed an alliance with their own families, they even have to secretly murder. If Imagawa Yoshimoto knew what Masarashi thought at this time, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood.

Oda Nobunaga comes to mind. Zhengliang couldn't help but think of some traditional ideas in the thinking of the powerful names of the Warring States at this time.

Taking the use of ninjas as an example, the ninjas in the general daimyo family are mainly used to deal with the inside, mainly for internal monitoring and information dissemination. As for the assassination. These daimyos would hardly have considered such a method. The use of ninja assassinations was a despicable act of the great powers of this time, and was completely contrary to the bravery of Bushido, which was just beginning to emerge at this time, and by the Edo period, the spirit of bushido had become almost pathological).

And the ninja use system of the Luo family at this time is almost completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary daimyo, which is also an important reason why the Luo family often takes the lead in the big war. Of course, as the war between the Sengoku daimyo became more and more intense, the role of ninjas was gradually discovered. Some prescient daimyo also began to pay attention to the use of ninjas, and ninjas began to be active in the history of the Sengoku period. Among them, Takeda Harunobu, Uesugi Kenshin, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Hojo Shiyasu are the most famous, and they have all had many famous ninjas under their commands.

As for Oda Nobunaga, the first daimyo to use the power of ninja in the war (if there was no appearance of the Luo family. Oda Nobunaga was indeed the first to vigorously use the ninja's probing role in the Battle of Barrel Sasama to gain the opportunity to fight the war, and finally slashed the daimyo of Imagawa Yoshimoto), but after becoming stronger, he suppressed the ninja's position in the family. Even directly against Iga's ninjas. Wipe out all the ninjas there. But on the other hand, perhaps it was because Nobunaga saw the horror of these ninjas that he made these actions.

And now Yoshimoto Kawa, he is a powerful representative of abiding by the so-called "tradition". At that time, the war of the Japanese State was mainly based on the main offensive method, that is, the two armies assembled at the agreed place, and then according to the type of troops and formation, you attack and I defend, which is very orderly. Requires a general to have a very high command ability. For example, the 12th century famous general Nanmu Zhengcheng is famous for his condescending "Nan tactics"; Kai general Shingen Takeda is famous for his maneuver tactics of "Wind Forest Volcano". In the battle, the soldiers on both sides were above board. The battle flag painted with the family crest was inserted on the back, and the slogan of the lord was shouted, and he took the lead bravely. At that time, war was a very sacred thing. Imagawa Yoshimoto is a general who grew up under the influence of such a traditional tactical strategy. The march was carried out step by step, steadily and steadily, in accordance with the practice of the war at that time. If this battle is compared to a game of Go, then Yoshimoto is completely playing according to the formula, one board at a glance, and he can't find the slightest fault.

And Oda Nobunaga, as we all know, has been indulgent and uninhibited since childhood, and has been called "an idiot and a madman". As the eldest son of the Daimyo, it is estimated that he has learned these traditional tactical theories, but based on his character, he will definitely not take them to heart. This may also have something to do with the short history of the rise of the Oda family. He is not like Imagawa Yoshimoto, who follows the rules and acts steadily, taking it as his responsibility to maintain the ancient honor of the Imagawa family, but only looking for fighters with innate intuition. Therefore, when the Imagawa army arrived, he did his best, unloaded the battle flag and other burdens, wrapped the horse's hooves with cloth, and crossed the mountains and crossed the path to sneak attack. Although it was hard and embarrassing, he finally succeeded in killing Imagawa Yoshimoto.

Like Oda Nobunaga, Masara's vigorous use of ninjas, his campaign during the spring and autumn harvest of the agreed truce, and his penchant for sneak attacks (Masara, who had been ridiculed as a sneak eagle by the powerful around him for his decisive sneak attacks several decisive sneak attacks), were all contrary to the so-called "tradition" in the eyes of the powerful and powerful.

Now that I think about it, it seems that Masarashi really has a lot of similarities with Oda Nobunaga, and both of them have also been scolded as fools for some outrageous behavior. The difference is that when the Luo family became the overlord of the Daimyo in Masara, this voice almost disappeared, and Nobunaga was questioned about his suitability to inherit the position of family governor, which in turn caused civil strife in the family in the future.

Winning a victory by any means of any means is Masayo's principle of warfare, and this method of warfare, which later historians called "wild samurai", is also the principle of Oda Nobunaga. Imagawa Yoshimoto also unfortunately became a stepping stone for Nobunaga to unify the world by any means. However, with Imagawa Yoshimoto's person, he and Nobunaga changed places, and there was a good opportunity for a sneak attack, asking him to pull out the family crest and cloth bag the horse's hooves to sneak attack, just like asking him to go to someone's house with a cloth mask to steal things, he would rather die than do it!

Unlike Oda Nobunaga, it would take ten years for Oda Nobunaga to display his talent, but Masarashi had already perfected this talent at this time. Countless powerful celebrities have thus become the stepping stone for the unification of the world.

It can be said that Masarashi replaced Oda Nobunaga and opened a new Sengoku era ahead of schedule. Oda Nobunaga used a new method of warfare to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto, the "first bow of Tokaido", in the Battle of Owari Barrel Saruma, which greatly shocked the various powerful names of the Wa Kingdom at that time and heralded the arrival of a new era.

In the past ten years, Masarashi gradually led the little-known Luo family, and finally became the daimyo of Kyushu after several battles that shook the Wa Kingdom, which replaced the historical significance of the Oda Nobunaga Barrel Sasama War.

On the surface of the sea outside Hakata Bay, the vast blue water is constantly surging and crashing against the rocks, making a roar of collapse and spraying snow-white foam. The new historical trend has already begun at the moment of the rise of the Luo family. (To be continued......)
