Chapter 848: A Loving Mother Has Many Defeated Children
The Luo family's oppression of the temples and shrines in their territory and their bloody purge policy have long been known to the powerful and powerful forces in the Western Kingdom. Temple and shrine forces such as Yixiangzong, although they did not list the Luo family as an enemy of the Buddha (the enemy of the Buddha is not so easy to establish, after all, the strength of the temple and shrine forces in the Kyushu region is the worst, even if the Luo family is listed as an enemy of the Buddha, it will only give the Luo family an excuse to attack the temple and shrine forces, so the local temples and shrines in Kyushu are also very interesting not to do so), but they also list the Luo family as an important hostile force.
However, the power of temples and shrines in the western region is much stronger than that of temples and shrines in the Kyushu region. Mori Moto was determined to use the Luo family's previous policies of oppression and even purge of temple and shrine forces to incite the local temple and shrine forces in Yangi Province, Zhou Fang Province, and Nagato Province. When it comes to their core interests, these temples and shrines will definitely echo the power.
After taking the opportunity to form an alliance with these temples and shrines, the Maori family was not only able to use them to defend their territory, but also to set off a riot in the area occupied by the Luo family in the western country, and then contain the Luo family. That's a great idea.
Even Mao Liyuan thought of a way to completely discredit the Luo family and take the opportunity to incite the local wealthy clans in the west to set off a wave of resistance to the invasion of the Luo family. At this time, with the large-scale invasion of the Luo family in the western country, Mao Li Yuan had already woken up to the rumors that there had been rumors that zài was smearing the Mao Li family in various parts of the western country. Since your Luo family is the first year of junior high school, then my Maori family will do the fifteenth. It may be useless to spread such rumors in the territory of the Luo family in the Kyushu region, but it is difficult to say in the western region.
Now I thought of spreading rumors and inciting riots. Mao Liyuan immediately couldn't help but think of the previous attempt to contain the Luo family. Avoid the rumor-incitement plan in the Kyushu area that the Luo family deliberately arranged by intervening in the First World War of Itsukushima. Although it was accompanied by the appearance of the Roche family in the First Battle of Itsukushima. This diversion plan has lost its effectiveness. But at this time, if it can still be implemented according to the original plan, then it can also play a certain role in containing the Luo family's strategy for the western region. Previously, due to the Luo family's blockade plan for the waters around his territory, Mori Moto quickly lost contact with the local Kyushu, so until this time, he did not know the situation in Kyushu (the actual situation was that at this time, a wave of rebellions led by temples and shrines was set off in the eastern part of Chikuzen Province, the entire territory of Bunzen Province, and the northeastern region of Bungo Province).
"No, it's better to send someone into Kyushu again to see how the situation goes. If the plan is not launched. Then it's up to this new group of people to carry it out. After a moment of contemplation, Maori Yuan finally decided.
Soon after, Mori Yuan sent a group of small workers in an attempt to infiltrate the Luo family's territory in the Kyushu region again, and launched a conspiracy to spread rumors and incite riots. But to the surprise of these people, when they arrived at the beach, they found that they could not find a ship to Kyushu at all. At this time, although the Luo family lifted the blockade of the Seto Inland Sea, the Luo family's navy was still tightly blocking the coastal areas of Bigo Province, Aki Province, Zhou Defense Province, and Nagato Province, let alone a ship. Not even a single plank can be found in coastal areas. In the case of the loss of their own sailors, these Maori family members had to stay in the local area (because the Luo family implemented an entry policy in the local border area. Therefore, these people will not be able to return to the territory of the Maori family quickly for a while).
In addition to inciting the local temples and shrines in the western region and the strategies of the local wealthy clans, Mori Moto also sent envoys with a large amount of money to Ishiyama Gobo and Kyoto in to witness the Venerable Master and the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
Asking to see the Venerable Master of the Yixiang Sect, he naturally hoped that he would be able to issue a decree to the local Yixiang Sect in the Western Kingdom to resist the tyranny of the Luo family. In this way, he can easily get the support of the local temple and shrine forces.
As for asking to see the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, it was naturally to let Ashikaga Yoshiteru come forward to mediate the dispute between the Maori family and the Luo family. The newly appointed Ashikaga Yoshiteru had only recently posted a heroic post asking the daimyo to become King Rakutoin, and he was keen to use diplomacy to mediate conflicts between the daimyo in order to show his prestige as a shogun. This time, after receiving the request of the Maori family, they will inevitably send someone to mediate. And since the Luo family has always claimed that they are loyal to the shogunate and the imperial family, it is naturally difficult to refuse the general's mediation this time, otherwise they will not only be in charge of their mouths, but also have a bad relationship with the shogunate and the imperial court because of this.
Just when Mao Liyuan was calculating how to contain the Luo family, Zhengliang, who was in Zhou Fangguo, received three letters.
The first letter was sent by a person sent by Kanzo Kato, who was in charge of hunting down Mori Motosashi and others. It reported in detail to Masayo the situation in the process of pursuing Mori Motoshi and others. When mentioning the whereabouts of Mori Moto, Kato Duanzo mentioned in the letter that he had found traces of Mori Motoshi and others several times, but in the end they were all escaped by the other party.
Looking at Kato Duanzang's letter, Masashi smiled bitterly. The so-called time is also fate, it seems that God is not willing to let Mao Liyuan die so quickly, so he let him live. Anyway, judging from the recent response of the Maori family and the sudden rise in resistance morale, Maori Yuan is bound to return to his own territory. Presumably, Kato Duanzo himself guessed such a conclusion from these signs, so there was such a letter to Masayo, but in fact, it was an indirect request to Masato to stop the pursuit of Mori Motosa.
Immediately, Masarashi personally wrote a reply letter to Kato Danzo, and while comforting and encouraging Kato Danzo, he also ordered him to stop focusing on the pursuit of Mori Motosho, but instead focus on searching for the Maori retainers and samurai who were still lurking in the area occupied by the Luo family, and do his best to reduce the vitality of the Maori family.
After replying to Kanzo's letter, Masaro picked up the second letter. From the handwriting on the cover of the envelope, you can know that this is his main room Kikuhime's handwritten letter. Coupled with this letter, in fact, for some time now, Zhengliang has received several letters from several of his own women.
The content of the letters is almost the same, that is, he begged Masayo to send the people of Tang Wangmaru and Mihime, who were participating in the counterinsurgency in the Chikuzen Province, Bunzen Province, and Bungo Province regions, back to Gakufu Castle.
As early as when Tang Wangmaru and Mei Ji, Nonghime, the two troublemakers and others jointly set out to quell the rebellion, Black Hawk, who had been secretly protecting them near these people, hurried to report the situation to Sù Masayo. So before receiving the requests of several of his own women, Masara knew about the situation of his eldest daughter and eldest son. Even on the way to Zhou Fangguo's campaign, Zhengliang constantly paid attention to their every move, and they gained merit in the process, and Zhengliang was also clear.
The so-called young eagles always have to face the wind and rain alone, and this counterinsurgency operation is a good opportunity to train them, and Zhengliang is very supportive of this. However, it can't encourage their self-determined and lawless atmosphere, so after this Western Raider is over, Masahiro will go back and reward them for their achievements in the process of counterinsurgency, and punish them. Especially Mei Ji and Nonghime, the two troublemakers, will definitely not be spared this time. Sooner or later, he will cause something bigger to happen.
And his wives and concubines are very aware of the anxiety of Mei Ji, Tang Wangmaru and others, Masahiro understands it very well, after all, among these people in the battle, they have their children and friends, so it is impossible not to worry. But the so-called loving mother has many defeated children, and the sect can't always let them stay in the greenhouse. So every time Zhengliang receives letters from these women of his own, he grits his teeth and doesn't read them, otherwise under the pleas of these women, Zhengliang himself will not be soft-hearted because of this.
Of course, there is also a reason why Masahiro is so relieved to let his children and others participate in this pacification expedition. (To be continued......)
