Chapter 47 The Development Path of the Dragon Temple
Here I want to mention the composition of the dragon temple family, strictly speaking, the dragon temple family is actually a very low degree of centralization, a combination of power of the rich family and the alliance of the people.
For example, the Kuroda family is a holding group company, and there are countless subsidiaries and grandchildren, but these companies must be 100% obedient to the parent company of the Kuroda family. All income must go to the Kuroda family first, and then distribute it to the following subsidiaries and grandchildren, and the rights of all the people under his command are not independent, and many places are bound to be controlled by the Kuroda family.
The most important point is that almost most of the soldiers are in the hands of the Kuroda family, even if they are not the soldiers of the Kuroda family, they are also the soldiers of the Kuroda family, and the other Musato family (in fact, the daughter of Musato Takayu has been engaged to Kuroda Yoshitaka, which is barely a quasi-one), the Maori family, the Ando family, and the Miki family have very few people in their hands.
Or use a company as an example, the Kuroda family's Sasaki Nagahide, as the owner of a subsidiary under Kuroda's command, conscientiously makes money for the Kuroda family, and one day I remembered that all the employees under him are directly under the Kuroda family, none of them are his descendants, and after completing a project, there will be a change of people.
The dragon temple family and its subordinates are a group of companies, the dragon temple family itself is the headquarters of the group, usually will also ask the following subsidiaries, the operation of the grandson company, but for their management, there is not much management authority, usually each company is its own business, and even their own people to grab business, only when there is a major matter, can be united.
When dividing the spoils of war, the Ryuzoji family, as the leading elder brother, is naturally able to share the greatest benefits, while the other wealthy families and the countrymen will naturally divide the other part, land or wealth, no matter what, in such a distribution system, as a family that can lead everyone, they will definitely share more.
At the same time, all the strength obtained by the Longzao Temple family was used to develop the economy and armaments, so the Longzao Temple family was able to lead many wealthy families and Chinese people, and the development was very rapid.
Even we know that there was a time in history when the Ryuzoji family, which developed, was able to compete with the Otomo family and the Shimazu family and become the third largest force in Kyushu, known as the "bear of Kyushu", and even surpassed the Otomo family, which is very surprising, but it is also understandable.
In fact, the development model of the Ryuzoji family is exactly the same as the development model of the Maori family back then, and the reason why he used this model to develop the Ryuzoji family is exactly the same as that of the Maori Yuan back then.
Maori Yuan was beaten by the Anyun Takeda family to the point that he couldn't take care of himself, his father died in battle, and his brother was beaten to doubt life, so he came to the top of the Maori family's power.
But in the face of the strong strength of the Anyun Takeda family, the weak Maori family at that time was still completely inadequate. What to do, Mao Liyuan thought of a way, forced to unite all the wealthy families and countrymen around him by giving away very big interests, the enemy of the enemy is friends, and uniting all the small partners is a huge strength, and together they will fight against the attack of the An Yun Takeda family.
And the Ryuzoji family chose to use this way as their own development path, also because the powerful Hokyushu overlord Otomo Sorin, brought huge pressure to the Ryuzoji family, and in order to resist the attack of the Otomo family, he chose in desperation. Combining is beneficial to both sides, and dividing is harmful to both, so the people of Hizen Country still made the choice to follow the Ryuzoji family.
If it weren't for the Kuroda family's raid on Kyushu, driving the Shimazu family to Hizen, and occupying and gaining a complete foothold in the Shimabara region of Hizen Province, the Ryuzoji family would not have any opponents in Hizen Province. After that, he will definitely do the same as in history, and take action against his benefactor, the Puchi family, so as to first enter the Chikugo country, and then attack the Hizen country on both sides.
But now the Ryuzoji family is bound by the Shimazu family, and at the same time, because they are very similar in strength, the two families themselves have become victims of this confrontation with each other, and the two sides are fighting endlessly, but no one can help anyone, so that everyone in the Shimazu family finally died in the Ryukyu, a subject country of the Ming Kingdom.
But let's put aside the composition of the Ryuzoji family, the current Ryuzoji Takanobu is not the bear of Hizen in history at all, his territory can't go out of the North Hizen country, and the soldiers are only thousands, just a Hizen, a local daimyo with relatively large dominance, and the retainers are relatively neat.
As for how to deal with the Kuroda family's upcoming attack, the Ryuzoji family is divided into two factions, the first faction hopes to be able to directly submit to the Kuroda family, at the cost of sacrificing some land, to keep the family safe, and at the same time to be able to catch the Kuroda family's big ship. And the second faction means that even if you bet on the martial arts of the Ryuzoji family, you have to fight to the death with the Kuroda family, and you will definitely not be able to give in.
To tell the truth, it has come to this time, and the Kuroda family's determination to unify Kyushu is already very obvious, and there are not many places in Kyushu that have not been occupied, and it is simply impossible for the people of the Ryuzoji family to think about it. Now the two opinions of the retainers are divided, this is indeed the only two ways out for the Ryuzoji family, either choose to bow their heads, or be destroyed, this is the reality in front of them, and there is no third way for them to choose.
It's just that the retainers of the Ryuzoji family have very different opinions on which side they should fall, and there are also different divisions between the five people of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ryuzoji Temple, such as the current head of the Nabeshima family, Naoshige Nabeshima, who does not agree to submit to the Kuroda family, because he knows that in the Kuroda family's array, there is a person who wants to destroy his Nabeshima family.
This person was forced to leave from the Hizen Nabeshima family in Kyushu.,Defection to the Nabeshima Kiyonobu under the command of the Kuroda family.,This person is the younger brother of his father Nabeshima Kiyofu.,His own uncle.,Forced to leave because of the failure to compete for the position of head of the family.,It is said that this person took refuge in the Kuroda family.,It's to destroy the Nabeshima family.,Regain his own position.。
In this troubled era of the Warring States, power represents everything, and the size of power also represents the size of a person's and a family's right to speak. Although the Nabeshima family is just a powerful and wealthy family in Hizen Country, at least it is also a land of tens of thousands of stones, and nearly 10,000 people have the power of life and death!
