In the past year or so, the Warring States period can be described as changing.

In the Kwantung Hachishu region, after defeating the Kwantung coalition forces in the night attack on Kawagoe, the Hojo family took advantage of the victory to pursue and further infiltrate the Kanto region. However, it was in this year that the Hojo family was quite a headache in the future, and he was called "Oni Yoshishige, the Oni of Kanto", and the 20th generation governor of the Satake family, Satake Yoshishige, who was also called the "Northeast Two Heroes" along with the Date family, was also born.

During the same period, the twentieth head of the Takeda family of Kai, Takeda Shingen's son, Takeda Katsuyori, was also born. During this time, Takeda Shingen fought against the Uemura family in the Shinano region and the Uesugi family retainers in the Ueno area, actively expanding the power of the country outward, and at the same time sorting out internal affairs. At the beginning of this year, Shingen Takeda drafted a draft previously drafted by the retainer Masamu Komai, and after a review, he formulated the "Koshu Law Order," which focused on the policy of the rule of the country. Soon after, out of the need for his own internal management, Takeda Shingen issued another money writing order, strictly prohibiting the circulation of bad money in his territory.

East China Sea region. Matsudaira Hirotada of Mikawa was under pressure from Oda Nobuhide and appealed to Imagawa Yoshimoto, who demanded that Hirotada's son Takechiyo (later Tokugawa Ieyasu) be taken hostage. Hirotada then sent Yasumitsu Toda to send Takechiyo to Sunfu, but he didn't realize that Yasumitsu Toda bought it for Nobuhide, but instead sent Takechiyo to Owari by sea. From then on, Tokugawa Ieyasu lived a very long hostage life in the Oda family, and at the same time established a good friendship with Oda Nobunaga during this period, laying the foundation for the future alliance between the two in Qingshu.

And Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide, at the request of Toki Yorigi and Yorijun, sent troops to attack Mino again. It was because of the looting of Nohime that it was suspected that the Oda family was secretly provoking his relationship with the surrounding powerful Saito Michizo, and he immediately became angry. So the two sides fought around Inabayama Castle. However, Oda Nobuhide was attacked by Saito Michizo in the Battle of Kana and fled in defeat again. Kill the red eye. It was even more so that Oda Nobuhide sent someone to rob his beloved daughter, Saito Michizo, who took the opportunity to pursue it. The Oda army suffered heavy losses as a result. Oda Nobuhide's younger brother Oda Nobuyasu and other generals were killed in this pursuit. In the same year, Yorijun Toki fell ill and died (it is also rumored that he was poisoned by Saito Michizo's spies). Michizo Saito thus took complete control of Mino.

Kyoto area. Shogun Yoshiharu gave his eldest son, Kikumaru Motofu, in Omi Sakamoto Hiyoshi Shrine, and changed his name to Yoshito. This Ashikaga Yoshito was later renamed Ashikaga Yoshiteru. He was the thirteenth shogun of the shogunate, who was famous for his sword general.

Shikoku region. The Chosō Ibu family continued to accelerate its expansion. The forces of Chosamune Ibu expanded rapidly in the southern part of Tosa-Nagaoka-gun, and the Yokoyama family of Jieliang Castle, the Shimoda family of Shimoda Castle, the Hosokawa family of Juichi Castle, the Chijo Ikeke family, and the Gaeda Castle mosquito house were all subjugated to the army of the Nagazo Ibu family one by one.

Yin and Yang two regions. Mori Mototo sent troops to fight with the army of Niko Haruma at Mt. Bigo, and until Masarashi received the information, the two families were still fighting. Moreover, Masato also knew that soon after this battle, Maori Yuan would declare seclusion. The position of governor of the family was given to the eldest son, Mori Takamoto. Of course, even though he was in seclusion, he secretly controlled the Maori family from behind.

Return to the Kyushu area.

Shimazu Takahisa's fourth son, Shimazu Iehisa, the fierce general of the Shimazu family in the future, was born. The Shimazu family is a good player. If we follow the historical development, Shimazu Iyahisa and his three brothers, Shimazu Yoshihisa, Shimazu Yoshihiro and Shimazu Tokihisa, together created the largest territory of the Shimazu family. It's just that now with the little butterfly of Masato joining, what will be the final result?

Otomo family. Ever since he confronted Masahiro, Otomo Yoshikan seems to have been unlucky. Sure enough, last year's strategy against the Shikoku Yiyu Xitu Temple ended in failure again. After this defeat, the retainers of his family were about to explode in their dissatisfaction with him, and the people in the territory also complained, complaining that Otomo Yoshikan was ruthless but did nothing.

Luckily. The Otomo family happened to discover the gold ore at the Bungo Kuniodaira Mine, and at the same time, a lot of associated tin ore was discovered in the process of mining. The discovery. Not only did it ease the internal affairs of the Otomo family, but it also diverted the attention of the retainers and the people, allowing the Otomo family to avoid internal turmoil for the time being.

The discovery of this gold mine in the Bungo Kuniodaira mine also greatly relieved the wealthy people near Higo Kamiyijo. It has been rumored that the Otomo family is also interested in the silver mine found there in Miyahara. This took the wealthy families who were vying for control of the mines here by surprise. If the Otomo family forcibly sent people to mine, they would not be able to stop it. Well, now that the Otomo family has discovered the gold mine, they won't have time to get their hands on this silver mine, at least for a short time. It was precisely because of this news that the nerves of the wealthy families near the Miyahara Silver Mine were once again stabbed, and everyone invariably fought again. The smoke of war once again ignited in Xiayicheng County.

Ouchi family. Ouchi Yoshitaka first designed an order to the Imperial Shogunate to revoke the permission of the Hosokawa family, the overlord of the Shikoku region, to trade with the Ming Dynasty, achieving the goal of monopolizing the trade with the Ming. Since then, the Ouchi family has also been intensively preparing for the most difficult trade in the history of the Ouchi family to the Ming Dynasty.

According to the original development of history, the ship sent by Yoshitaka Ouchi should have departed from Naruura on the island of Naru in the Goto archipelago, and was being sent to the Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto. However, since the Goto area has now become the territory of the Luo family, other powerful sailors are not allowed to enter and exit at will. So this time, the departure point was changed to Iki Island.

Of course, at this time, neither Iki Island nor Tsushima Island was in a stable situation.

On the Tsushima Island, three years ago, more than 20 ships led by Japanese ships, mainly Tsushima soldiers, attacked the town of Seokyang, Gyeongsang Province, North Korea, which triggered a discussion in the DPRK about "eliminating Japanese soldiers." As a result, Joseon ordered the severance of communication with the shogunate, the Ouchi clan, and the Muneshi clan, and the communication between Tsushima and Korea was interrupted. Lacking trade support, the Tsushima clan was in turmoil. Of course, shortly after this year, after the efforts of the Ouchi family, North Korea will sign the "Treaty of Dingwei" with Tsushima, and North Korea will re-agree that the Tsushima lord Jong clan can send 25 merchant ships a year to trade with North Korea.

On Iki Island, civil unrest in the Wave family continues. However, due to the temporary borrowing of the coastal pier on Iki Island by the Ouchi family, the two camps of the Hachita civil strife restrained each other, as the side of the Hachita clan, they were afraid that they would lose the support of the Chikuzen Kunisugi family, and the Hidaka family, the other side of the confrontation, was afraid of angering the Ouchi family, causing the Ouchi family to completely support the Hakata clan.

At this time, Masato was more concerned about the situation of the Sagara family's navy. Since he has always been good friends with the Ouchi family, it can even be said that he is the outer fan of the Ouchi family, so this time the trade with the Ming Kanhe is naturally involved in the Sagara family. In order to ensure the safety and smoothness of the journey, the Sagara family also sent a large number of sailors to accompany them at the request of the Ouchi family. This led to a great weakening of the strength of its naval forces in the Yatsushiro Sea area along the coast of Nanhigo.

It is precisely this that Zhengliang has taken a fancy to.

"Lord, this is indeed a great opportunity for my family to take the opportunity to attack Nanfei." Kansuke Yamamoto immediately suggested. After nearly two years of rest, at this time, the warehouse of the Luo family stored 80,000 stone of grain that was about to be put into the construction of the territory, and 200,000 stone of civil, agricultural and military reserve grain as a strategic reserve.

As for the army, most of the standing standers who were injured and absent from work two years ago have returned to the team, and the remaining standing standers who have lost their combat effectiveness have also been placed in various parts of the territory, and the vacancies have been filled by the newly recruited standing standers.

At this time, the Luo family can really be said to have the past!

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Masato said with a frown.

"Lord, why is that?" Kansuke Yamamoto wondered. He really couldn't think of any scruples that the Luo family would have about Nan Feihou's actions at present.

"You first take a look at the information that you Qingzheng sent back from the Zhoufang Mountain Pass Pavilion at an accelerated pace." Masarashi handed a piece of information on the desk to Kansuke Yamamoto.

This information was sent back by Duanmu Qingzheng in advance before the envoy of the Ouchi family left for Luo's house. According to the information, in order to prevent the Higo Sagara family from being attacked by other powerful people due to the large number of sailors accompanying them during the period of trade with the Ming Dynasty, the Ouchi family will ask the Sagara family not to intrude on the Sagara family in the name of Dazai Daiji. Otherwise, not only will the Ouchi family be designated as an enemy in the imperial court, but they will even be attacked by the Ouchi family.

And in order to clearly show this attitude of the Ouchi family and make the Luo family, which is currently the biggest threat to the Sagara family, have scruples, Ouchi Yoshitaka has decided to send Masayo's cheap father-in-law, Sagara Taketo, to the Luo family.

"My lord, maybe your subordinates have a way to deal with this matter of the Ouchi family, so that the family can successfully take Nanfeihou." After reading Duanmu Kiyomasa's information, Kansuke Yamamoto immediately said.

"Oh?" (To be continued......)
