Chapter 1093: Shanyang Dao Shakes
With the submission of the Sugiwara family, within three days, all the southern coastal areas of Bigo Province fell into the hands of the Luo family.
Of course, although he has nominally become the controller of this area, since Zhengliang intends to create a stable way of Shangluo, then it is necessary to gradually implement measures in this area, such as demolishing the city, transferring the local wealthy clans, and implementing the Luo family law, in order to avoid causing panic among the wealthy families in the surrounding areas, these measures must be implemented slowly and secretly.
And just as the Commander of Masayo began to gradually take full control of the newly occupied areas according to the plan that had been formulated before, as the news of the mutation in this area spread, the surrounding wealthy clans, and even the entire Sanyang Province region, and even some daimyo of the Warring States period were shaken.
On the one hand, they were shocked that the Luo family had taken the southern part of Bigo in just three days, so they became endangered, and some of the wealthy families even checked at home to see if there were any retainers who secretly contacted the Luo family; On the other hand, due to the strong involvement of the Roche family in the Bigo region, which triggered a change in the pattern of Bigo country, they also shook a lot.
In the past, when the Luo clan only touched the coastal border area of Bigo Province, the entire power of Bigo Province was actually divided into two camps, in the mountainous area of the northern part of Bigo Province near Izumo Province, where the power was subordinated to the Niko family, and in the coastal plains of Bigo Province and the highlands in the central part of the country, the power there was attributed to the Mori family.
Now. After the Luo family thunderously occupied the southern plains of Bigo Province. From then on, the northern part of the country was subordinated to the Niko family, and the central part was subordinated to the Mori family. And the south is dominated by the Luo family. While the wealthy families were shocked by this drastic change, they also waited for the Maori family's reaction with their own hearts (some of them hated the same enemy, some of them gloated, and some of them looked coldly).
After all, the southern part of Bigo Province, which is now occupied by the Luo family, was originally the Maori family's sphere of influence. Speaking of which, the Luo family and the Maori family are really a pair of enemies, since the grudge in the Battle of Itsukushima, there have been constant disputes, and it was not easy to stop the war under the mediation of the shogunate and the imperial court, and as a result, some time ago because of the "assassination" incident and made trouble. Now, in the name of revenge for the "assassination", the Luo family occupies the sphere of influence of the Maori family in Bigo Province. Since it was the Luo family who took the initiative, now, it is up to us to see how the Maori family plans to deal with it?
In fact, many wealthy families hope that the Maori family and the Luo family can fight fiercely again, and it is best that the two families can fight and lose both, so that they can develop their power in their territory with peace of mind without worrying about being annexed by these two Warring States daimyo.
But. Unfortunately, it is clear that their wish is not going to come true. After the southern part of Bigo Province was suddenly occupied by the Luo family, the Mori family did not send troops to retake this area, but instead ordered the forces in the central part of Bigo Province to immediately strengthen their war preparations, as if they were ready to meet the Luo family and continue to invade the central region of Bigo Province. Immediately afterward, what almost made the forces even more eye-catching was that the Mori family took the initiative to evacuate their forces from Kasaokama Castle in the southern region of Bigo Province off the coast of Beichu. In this regard, the army of the neighboring Luo family also unceremoniously occupied Kasaoka Mountain Castle.
"What are the Maori family doing here?"
After learning the news, almost all of them couldn't help but ask. You must know that such a move by the Maori family will greatly reduce the morale of the Maori family and the forces in its sphere of influence, and even cause some wealthy families in its sphere of influence to switch to the Luo family.
"What the hell is Mฤori going to do? Showing weakness? Summation? Or is there another purpose? โ
For such a question, it is estimated that only Mao Liyuan himself knows, and everyone including Zhengliang is confused.
"Damn it!"
And just when the forces were full of doubts, in the Tsukiyama Tomita Castle in Izumo Province, the governor of the Niko family, Niko Haruha, was angry about this.
Since the First World War of Itsukushima, Niko Haruma has been working together with the Niko family's allies to fight against the Mori family, which once made the Niko family take the lead in the competition with the Yoshimi family and the Mori family for the Iwami silver mine, and at the same time, it also made the Niko family curb the continuous invasion of the Mori family in Bigo Province, Misaku Province, Beichu and other places.
But at this great opportunity, he was sick and bedridden, and even his illness was getting worse and worse, and now what made him even more angry was that Mao Liyuan had repeatedly retreated in the face of the aggressive attack of the Luo family.
This is simply an insult to the Nizi family and even to him, you must know that in the past battles with the Nizi family, Mao Liyuan has never given in, and even in this period of time, even if he continues to give in to the Luo family, Maoli Yuan is still fighting with the Nizi family for an inch of land.
What does this mean? This can only show that Mao Liyuan is not afraid of the Nizi family at all, and even more despises him Nizi Qingjiu, which makes him feel embarrassed to once again create his grandfather Nizi Jiujiu, who controlled the two eleven countries of Shanyin and Shanyang, and was known as the Warring States "Yin and Yang One Taishou".
So he was angry, but he also got angry and aggravated his condition, and after shouting a miserable complaint in the bedroom again, "God will not help me", he fainted, which once again caused panic among the Nizi family.
And just when everyone in the Niko family was panicking, the news of the panic in the southern region of Bigo Province also spread to the Bizen Province region, and after learning about the news in detail, the Ukita Naoya, the lord of Otoko Castle in Bizen Province, immediately found his family's important minister, Togawa Hideyasu.
After handing the information that the Luo family had occupied the southern region of Bigo Province with a thunderous force to Togawa Hideyasu, the Ukita Naoya immediately asked:
"What do you think about this?"
"Good politics and justice are the first generals of the Warring States!" Faced with the inquiry of the family governor Ukita Naoya, Togawa Hidean didn't think much about it, and casually admired.
At the time of the bloody battle of Itsukushima, it was Togawa Hideyasu who captured Mori Moto's third son, Kobayakawa Takakei, who had left it in Itsukushima, and gave it to the Luo family as a gift to see Masayo, thus secretly establishing a relationship with the Luo family.
In the years since, the Uki family has also maintained contact with the Luo family, and even cooperated with each other, especially the Luo family's merchant ships, when passing through the coastal waters where the Uki family is located, they are often protected by the Uki family's sailors (there are many local pirates), and the Uki family's residence is one of the temporary stops of the Luo family, and the Uxi family has also gained a lot of benefits from it.
It can be said that over the years, the two have always been mutually beneficial. And as Togawa Hideyasu, who took the initiative to connect with the Luo family back then, naturally became the contact between the two families. After continuous contact with the people of the Luo family and the Luo family, Togawa Hideyasu admired the Kyushu eagle Luo Masarashi even more, so today, when he saw the news that the Luo family occupied the southern region of Bigo Province in an instant, he was naturally amazed.
However, the family governor Ukita Naoya obviously didn't let Togawa Hideyasu come to him to praise Luo Masayo, so he immediately frowned and said:
"I'm afraid that this time, this Kyushu Eagle's ambition is not just Bigo Kuni!"
"Huh? What the? What do you mean, my lord? Hearing what the family governor Ukita Naoya said, Togawa Hideyasu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.
"Yes, for the sake of the survival of the family, I'm afraid I'll have to make plans sooner." Seeing that Togawa Hideyasu finally understood what he meant, Ukita Naoya immediately nodded.
Subsequently, the Ukita family and Togawa Hideyasu discussed the whole night overnight, and on the second day, Togawa Hidean just returned home to rest for a while, and hurriedly got on a Rocheya merchant ship that happened to pass through the waters of Ukika's territory, and went directly to Roche's house.
