"Huh? Could it be that the current head of your Tanegashima family is seriously ill? Liu Xing asked subconsciously.

Tanegashima Teruyi sighed, nodded and said: "That's right, the current head of our Tanegashima family is indeed seriously ill, and now although it's almost good, but it's also incapacitated because of this, and sometimes the brain is not good, so now the final treatment is being carried out, if this final treatment can't make him return to normal, then we will let him retire early according to the regulations, and re-elect a new head of the family... Although it is said that it is being treated, we all know that this is just a delaying tactic. ”

"Then can I ask, is the current head of your Tanegashima family from that faction?" Karukawa then asked.

Tanegashima Teruyi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Having said that, the current head of our Tanegashima family can be said to be very special, because he is the only one who is not from the four major factions after the Tanegashima family was established; Didn't I just say that in addition to the four major factions, our Tanegashima family also has some scattered small factions, no, it's not so much a faction, but a small group, and they are unwilling or unable to join the four major factions for various reasons, such as the current head of the family, Ryuzoji Saburo. ”

"Ryuzoji family?"

Guchuan Xiaofu frowned and said: "No, although the Ryuzoji family is not as good as before, it is also a medium-sized family, and there should not be anyone left to other families." ”

"That's right, the Ryuzoji family back then, as the Kyushu Mio who was ranked alongside the Shimazu family and the Otomo family, its strength should not be underestimated, after all, the Ryuzoji family was a branch of the Fujiwara family in a sense, and it stands to reason that there could be no family members who ran to our Tanegashima family to take refuge; But nothing is absolute, and the ancestor of Ryuzoji Saburo was a Kirichi Dan. ”

Speaking of this, Tanegashima Terumi shook his head and said with some easy talk: "As a branch of the Fujiwara family, one of the most powerful families in the island country, the Ryuzoji family naturally will not allow their own family to be Kirishidan, so the ancestors of Ryuzoji Saburo first ran to Otomo's house, because the Otomo family at that time had made it clear that they would protect Kishidan, and as a result, the Otomo family was greatly damaged after a series of accidents, so the ancestors of Ryuzoji Saburo had to run incognito to Tanegashima, After all, Tanegashima at that time could be said to be a paradise, and there was almost zero contact with the outside world. ”

"Of course, at that time, the ancestors of Ryuzoji Saburo and a few others who ran out with Cheshitan did not dare to reveal their identities, because the Honganji faction had already begun to take shape at that time, and a Honganji temple was built, although this Honganji temple was never recognized by the Honganji family, and after all, it was a temple about the size of my office, and now it has become a sacred place for the Honganji faction; However, after the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, everything changed, so those Kiritan dared to reveal their identities and use their original surnames back. ”

"However, Ryuzoji Saburo is more deviant, he has not dealt with the people of the Ryuzoji faction since he was a child, because he refused to become a Kiritan, so he has always been closer to other factions; After the death of the previous head of the family, the candidates for the new head of the family are still locked in the two candidates put forward by our Inoue faction and the Yamamoto faction, but for various reasons, the support of these two candidates is actually almost the same, and some not very good things have been revealed for each of them. ”

"So, the long-sleeved and good dancing Ryuzoji Saburo took this opportunity to take the position, because in addition to the Ryuzoji faction, the other factions have expressed their approval of Ryuzoji Saburo, and the Ryuzoji Saburo at that time was already in his sixties, so it stands to reason that he can't be the head of the family for a few years, after all, our Tanegashima family is different from other families, as long as the head of the family makes a big mistake, or loses his normal ability to work for a long time, then he will automatically give way to the new head of the family, not like other families as long as you are unwilling to give way, You can wait until you are dead before giving up the position of head of the family. ”

"Kiritan, no wonder Ryuzoji Saburo's ancestors fled to Tanegashima."

Koo Bone Kawa shook his head and said: "When I used to play "Shogun", I liked to play the Shimazu family very much, because the Shimazu family is strong, and it is located south of Kyushu, it is unlikely to be attacked from both sides, just need to fight forward, but what I was most curious about at that time was why Cheshitan reduced the stability of the local area so much, and every time I had to send troops to stabilize the local situation, so as not to suddenly appear a wave of rebels; So I went to study the Kiritan during the Warring States period, and I found that whether it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi or later Tokugawa Ieyasu, their attitude towards Kiritan was very poor. ”

Hearing what Gugawa Xiaofu said, Liu Xingcai reacted that this Chezhitan was the cross religion after it was introduced to the island country, and it was spread on Kyushu Island at the beginning, because the daimyo on Kyushu Island were very willing to trade with merchant ships from the Europa continent, and at that time, almost all the ocean-going ships from the Europa continent were missionaries, so a lot of Chezhitan soon appeared on Kyushu Island.

As a strange country, although the island country has been accepting a variety of foreign cultures, but after these foreign cultures take root in the island country, they will more or less be changed by magic, such as those temples and monks in the island country are more "Shaolin" than one another, so the appearance of Chezhidan has aroused the vigilance of local temples.

As a result, the monks of the island country who were more powerful than Ashigaru with knives, guns, and sticks fought with Kiritan, but because the daimyo also had to trade with merchants from Europa, they would favor Kiritan, which led to the intensification of the contradictions between the two sides and became a very serious destabilizing factor.

And when Toyotomi Hideyoshi nominally controlled the entire island country, the power of the daimyo in various places was weakened to a certain extent, and at the same time, there were few daimyo who clearly supported Kishitan, so Cheshitan entered a cold winter in the island country, and he could only carry out activities in secret... However, some of them were still not convinced, and as a result, they aroused the dissatisfaction of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered to do something to Kiritan, but it was also a thunderstorm and a small raindrop, and only a few weaker Kishita daimyo were punished.

However, what really made Toyotomi Hideyoshi angry was that his favorite nephew, who was cultivated by him as a successor and single-handedly held the position of Sekihaku, also became Kirishitan, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi began to really attack Kirishitan, and then Tokugawa Ieyasu also took advantage of the situation and forcibly suppressed Kishitan everywhere.

However, as an outsider, Liu Xing heard that the reason why Kiriji Dan was disliked by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu was because their old boss, Oda Nobunaga, had a good relationship with Kirichi Dan, so these two "successors" with unjustified names naturally couldn't see Kirichi Dan.

Of course, as a world set in the Cthulhu mythos, Liu Xing has also heard such a statement, that is, there were many mythical creatures and secret churches in the island country at that time, so they couldn't tolerate Che Zhi Dan to come and grab territory with them, so they used all forces to deal with Che Zhi Dan openly and secretly... In addition, there is a less reliable theory that the missionaries who set out from the continent of Europa are actually treasure hunters, and the treasures they are looking for are relics left by the old gods.

But no matter what the real situation is, it was really miserable to become an island country from Kiritan at that time, so it was normal for the ancestors of Ryuzoji Saburo to be forced to flee to Tanegashima, and as for Ryuzoji Saburo being elected as the head of the family, it can only be said that it is time and fate, who called the remaining two candidates not a good thing?

Thinking of this, a joke appeared in Liu Xing's mind - if you were to choose one of the King of Understanding and the King of Sleep, who would you choose?

Then of course I choose death.

So at this time, if there is a third option, those who don't want to choose on either side will not hesitate to choose this third option, even if the third option is a husky.

As long as it's not xx.

Liu Xing shook his head and said, "Since Ryuzoji Saburo is already doomed to step down, then your Inoue faction is now ready to launch a new candidate, right?" ”

Hearing Liu Xing say this, Tanegashima Huiyi showed an embarrassed expression, and after a while, he said a little depressed: "How to say it, our Inoue faction is a little green and yellow now, because something happened a long time ago, which caused our Inoue faction to have zero in the Mesozoic Era of the island country... Well, these Mesozoic generations were actually arranged by the Shimazu family to go abroad to develop business, because the family business of the Shimazu family developed very rapidly during that time, so they began to deploy overseas, and as a result, there was a fault line in our Inoue faction. ”

"Well, that's a bit of a hassle."

Liu Xing touched the back of his head and said: "You still have to listen to the words of the Shimazu family, and it is unlikely that these people who are in charge of the company's operations abroad will directly return to the island country, after all, the Shimazu family has not issued an order for this, not to mention that even if they come back, they will lose their competitiveness because they have left the island country for a long time." ”

"Yes, they've been out there for so many years, and those people from the Yamamoto faction can fight them as long as they don't know what is going on in Tanegashima; As for asking the old master to let them come back early, in fact, we also thought about it, but in the end we didn't make up our minds to do it, because the old master actually arranged for them to go outside to be in charge of the company's operations, which means that the old family owner trusts their ability, or it can also be said to trust our Tanegashima family, so we can't let the old family down, let alone let the old family see a Tanegashima family who is infighting to the point of forgetting their roots. ”

Speaking of this, Tanegashima Terui pointed to himself and said: "So as long as there is no accident, I will be the next candidate for the head of the Inoue faction, because I am now the most valued person by the old family master and the new head of the Inoue faction, and besides me, I am either an old man in his seventies or eighties, or a young man in his twenties, and they can't stand when they come out; And if I can do well in the battle of the public army, then I will have an advantage in the election of the next head of the family, but my previous injuries will also be my biggest disadvantage, because there is no family in the island country that would choose to have a person with a small head less than half as a façade. ”

"As for the situation on the Yamamoto faction's side, although there are a lot of people who can stand up and choose, their abilities and qualifications are slightly inferior to mine, and these people's reputation is not very good, because the three heads of the family are all from the Yamamoto faction, so the people of the Yamamoto faction have been more arrogant over the years, so they are all bad in the eyes of other factions; As for the Maeda faction, if they really want to choose, I can guess who they will send, and if he really comes out, it will be a bit of a problem, because this person has a very good relationship with the new head of the family, and is now working as a secretary for the new head of the family. ”

When Tanegashima Terui mentioned Shimazu Hiromichi, Liu Xing suddenly came to his senses, because after Shimazu Nakano gave Kagoshima to Shimazu Hiromichi, Liu Xing and others lost the details of Shimazu Hiromichi, and only knew that he was constantly moving in Kagoshima, but it was not clear what he did.

Tanegashima Huiyi also saw the curiosity on Liu Xing's face, so he continued: "This person from the Maeda faction is called Maeda Gong, and he is a direct descendant of the first head of our Tanegashima family, so although his ability is average, the relationship network in the Shimazu family is very good, after all, the Maeda faction has been the head of the family for so many generations before, so they have always kept in touch with the members of the affiliated families of the Shimazu family, which is also an important reason why the Maeda faction can still eat the old book, so after the new head of the family takes the throne, Maeda Ko spent a lot of effort and successfully became the secretary of the new head of the family, and recently he was busy in Kagoshima. ”

"I see, this Maeda Gong is indeed your biggest opponent Mr. Huiyi, but if he has no way to resign, he can only choose to give up, so what is he doing now?" Liu Xing asked seriously.

Tanegashima thought for a while before replying, "It seems that he is in charge of repairing a new factory, but I don't know what this factory produces, or only the new owner knows what this factory does, because the machines needed for the factory are secretly shipped from abroad by the new owner, and these machines are still in containers." ”

Dangerous!

I don't know why.,Liu Xing feels that there is something wrong with those so-called "machines".,And these "machines" may also be used in Tanegashim.。。。 Wait, is this going to be a proxy war?
