All the people present showed great interest in the development of trade with North Korea. It is quite enough for the meeting to achieve such an effect. As for what's next? It is still necessary to see the return of the people sent by Masara to the Arima clan and the coastal areas of Korea before making a decision.

In fact, Masahiro also had plans to open up this trade route on his own. The easiest way to do this is to raise the army of the Luo family, and then directly occupy Iki Island and Arima Island, and bulldoze the pirates and various forces along the road one by one.

It's just that this idea is clearly unrealistic. First of all, the current strategic center of the Roche family is on land. The issue of expansion at sea can be considered only after there is sufficient strategic depth on land, as well as sufficient strength, as well as a material base.

Otherwise, once out of land, even the most powerful naval army will become rootless. In the end, he can only become a pirate floating on the sea.

If the Luo family wants to develop, the focus of the future must be kept on land. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the warship is, it can only dominate the sea, and when it reaches land, it will still fall into a land battle. The military layout of the Luo family still needs to give priority to land and then sea at this stage.

Secondly, the current resources of the Luo family are also limited. If there are sufficient resources, of course, both the sea and land aspects will develop at the same time. It's just that now the Luo family has limited resources after all, so it can only give priority to ensuring military strength on land.

Only with sufficient land military strength can the security of the land territory be ensured, so that the territory can become a strong support for the war. After accumulating to a certain extent, when the natural resources are sufficient, it will naturally have the ability to develop a water army.

The most typical example of this is the Arima family. Due to the lack of sufficient land depth as a base. Once foreign trade is interrupted. The strength will be greatly reduced. Without the most basic resource support, even the most powerful naval army will be disbanded.

In the end, it was due to the strength of the Luo family's water army. After more than three years of accumulation, the Luo family navy has become a famous navy along the coast of Kyushu.

It's just that, with the overall strength of the current naval army, in fact, it can only ensure the coastal security of the territory and deter the surrounding naval forces.

Once the Luo family did their best to attack the forces of all parties along the Korean trade route, even if the last one really won, it would be a tragic victory. Until that time. The surrounding forces were like sharks smelling blood, quickly besieging the Luo family.

The most terrible consequence was that the Luo family lost control of the coastal area of their own territory, so that all parties could enter the Luo family's territory at will to destroy it, which was the last thing Zhengliang wanted to see.

The Luo family is now a big business, and Masahiro is already a Warring States daimyo who holds the land of the two countries, and he is no longer the little governor who casually rode on a small pony and took a few retainers to fight the enemy. The more it came to this point, all of Masaara's decisions had to be made carefully. He didn't want the foundation he had worked so hard to build collapse before it could be firmly established.

So after careful consideration, Masahiro finally decided to pull in the Southern Barbarians and the Ming people. Frankly. Whether it is the Southern Barbarians or the Ming people, their naval forces are not weak.

If only they had the strength of their water army to join. Then the Luo family only needs to send a part of the naval army to cooperate. Such a water coalition army may not be afraid even if it encounters the North Korean naval army, let alone the strength of all parties along the road.

Even if necessary, the Luo family can also use the strength of the Southern Barbarians and the Ming people to give a ruthless force to the forces along the road, and directly occupy Iki Island and Arima Island. Of course, in this case, you also need to test the meaning of the Ouchi family first.

After all, the Ouchi navy not only controlled the Kanhe trade with the Ming Kingdom, but even participated in the trade between Arima Island and Korea. If the Ouchi family really fell into silence for a while at that time, as recorded in history, Masarashi would definitely make up his mind to take action against these two places.

Now, it's all about timing.

After discussing some details of cooperation with the Nanban merchants and the Ming merchants again during the meeting, Masara finally sent them out of the lord's mansion one by one.

After that, Masarashi consulted with the remaining Kamiya Susei about selling fire.

According to historical development, it will take at least several years for iron cannons to be popularized locally. During this time, Masahiro didn't mind playing a sideline game and selling some of the less powerful ones to other Haoqiang at a high price. Anyway, in the Hizen War, the Luo family has already sold a very good advertisement for these fire tongs. I believe that as long as the Luo family is willing to sell, there will naturally be people who want to buy it.

For the production of the fire system, now the Luo family can basically produce it by itself. Just be careful not to affect the production of arquebuses. In addition, for arquebuses, no matter what the price, Masashi is not going to sell them to anyone else. Even a musket will not be sold, and even in the future, the Luo family will implement a strict musket storage system to prevent anyone from secretly selling muskets.

After discussing the matter of the sale of the fire system with Kamiya Shaoce, the day passed like this. After a night's rest, early the next morning, Masarashi received a report from Black Hawk that Shinnosuke Akabane had found the first person on the list given to him, and had taken him outside Kishidake Castle.

Zhengliang immediately decided to summon this man.

In the council hall of Kishigaku Castle, Masari stares at the mysterious guest who has been summoned.

After a long time, Masayo, as the master, spoke: "I didn't expect that the head of the Kikuchi family back then would fall to such a point!" ”

The mysterious guest's whole body shook slightly, and it was obvious that Masayo's words made him feel very uneasy.

"Originally, I wanted to talk to your father personally, but I didn't expect ......."

"My father didn't forget to return to Hiqueen until he died." The mystery guest said.

"Oh? I once heard that after your father inherited the Kikuchi family, he even defeated the Omiya family and almost dominated the fat queen. Seeing that the memories of the mysterious guest were evoked, Masarashi immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"It's a pity that I met the thieves of the Kai family twice." The mysterious guest said through gritted teeth.

Zhengliang smiled secretly after hearing this. The two times the mysterious guest said that he had encountered the thieves of the Kai family, he was referring to the previous generation of the Fei clan of the Higo clan and the current governor of the Kai clan, the Kai clan (i.e., Kai Zongyun).

The reason why the mysterious guest hates these two people so much is because, when the father and son of the mysterious guest had the opportunity to dominate the Fat Queen Omiya Si family and dominate the Fat Queen twice, they were destroyed by the two fathers and sons of Jia Fei Qin Xuan and Jia Fei Zongyun respectively.

(Thank you for the monthly pass.) Good night to everyone at three o'clock in the morning! Say a word of morning too! (To be continued......)
