Zhengheng didn't fully believe what Leng Quan Takafeng said. This is the Warring States Period, when both sides are unpredictable, and it is difficult to grasp the balance when it is not the limit, so if there is not much at stake, it is the best choice to wait and see. But the Date family can really choose to wait and see, now is the most critical moment for the Date family, enter the sea and the sky, have the qualification to seize the world, and retreat to the four countries of Jibei, lifeless. Human beings will always unconsciously indulge in the things they like. For example, the brave are indulged in bravery, the wise are indulged in wisdom, the alcoholic is indulged in wine, and the female lover is indulged in women. At only 20 years old, Zhengheng is at the age of expanding his territory.

Zhengheng will not invest the entire Date family to make a wedding dress for Yoshitaka Ouchi because of Rengquan Takatoshi's words, he will still use his own steps to complete the goal he has set step by step, and now the biggest goal is to expand westward, obtain Aki, Zhoufang, Nagato, and unify Sanyang Road.

If you want to accomplish this task, you can't just send a large army to complete it with a hot head. On land, Zhengheng is not afraid of anyone, but in order to complete the task of unifying Sanyang Province, it is necessary to have a naval force sufficient to support coastal defense.

It didn't take long for Tozawa Baiyunsai to come, looking at the person kneeling under him. Where Tozawa Baiyunzhai knelt, Zhengheng looked at Tozawa Baiyunzhai with his head down. He is an extremely ordinary-looking man, and it is difficult to remind people of his face if he is not in front of your eyes. It was a featureless face, eyes not too large, a thin nose neither high nor low, and no peculiarities in the mouth and ears. Or hungry, or too mundane, is its characteristic.

In Koga. Tozawa Hakusai can be said to be a special case. Most of the Koga people revolve around Koga-gun's neighbors in search of benefactor allegiance. This is also the reason why there are countless Koga people who have served the Rokkaku family of Kannonji Castle one after another. Only Tozawa Hakusai walked out of Koga and wandered with his people in search of the allegiance of a powerful lord. The plain appearance obviously didn't give him any extra points, judging people by appearance is the standard of ordinary people, although he has worked for some forces in various places, but he has not got the hope of being able to walk in the light as he wants.

This is the difference between the Koga people and the Iga people, and the hope of walking in the light has always been the goal of the Koga people, and some outstanding people with this hope have walked out of Koga. Look farther afield to seek allegiance to the forces in order to gain access to the light.

Zhengheng looked at Tozawa Baiyunzhai's eyes, although Tozawa Baiyunzhai looked mediocre, his eyes were quite sharp, and he looked directly into the other party's eyes without taking his eyes off to gain insight into the hearts of others, which is also the characteristic that a spy should have. Zheng Heng said slowly: "I have something for you to do!" It's a very confidential matter, and you have a capable staff to do it, and if you leak the news, you know the consequences. If it is done well, I will give it a chance to stand in the light. ”

Carrots and sticks. It is usually an important incentive for those in charge. Tozawa Baiyunzhai has never expressed his thoughts, but he was still seen by Zhengheng. couldn't help but raise his head, he knew that if he raised his head, he would meet Zhengheng's sight, but he couldn't keep his head down so forever.

Tozawa Baiyunsai responded: "Please ask Your Highness to command, the minister will do his best." His words were plain, but there were waves in his heart, the Tozawa clan didn't need to wander anymore, so let the Tozawa clan turn him upside down, and do his best to be able to walk in the light.

After a deep groan, Zhengheng said: "I want you to kill someone, Kono Tongzhi, the former head of the Kono family who guards the Kono family in Yuzhou, kill him, and then leave some evidence to point to the current head of the family, Kono Tongxuan." ”

Tozawa Baiyunzhai thought for a moment and responded, "How long will it take to complete the task?" ”

Tozawa Baiyunsai didn't complain, and he didn't ask for a reason, but he just asked how long it would take, and this is where Kusama Shibei, who became a monk halfway, is more professional than that. Regarding the matter of internal surveillance, Zhengheng believes that the loyal Kusama Four Guards, and externally, professionals are still needed to complete it.

Zhengheng said: "Half a year, is it enough?" ”

A cold light flashed in Tozawa Baiyunzhai's eyes, and he said categorically: "The minister must live up to His Highness's trust and will definitely do things well!" "Although things are a little difficult, but Koga does this, if it doesn't work, then what do you want to do with the Tozawa family, don't expect to get any opportunities to walk in the light, just roll up and walk.

Zheng Heng smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Let's go down! ”

Tozawa Baiyunzhai answered and retreated, but he did not leave immediately, but came to a small cubicle in the mansion, Mo looked at his father, gave a gentle salute, and said, "Father, you are here." ”

Sitting lightly on the tatami mat, Tozawa Baiyunzhai glanced at Mo, his brows furrowed, Mo was still a virgin, and said in a stern voice: "Don't look for me in private if there is nothing in the future, your identity is different now, and we will pay more attention to it in the future." Also, now that there are no other women around the lord, it is a good time to get close, remember one thing, and serve the lord well, he is the hope of our Tozawa clan. ”

After saying that, Tozawa Baiyunsai left. Mo sat in the small cubicle, looking at the flickering candle flame, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

After Masahiro left in Tozawa Baiyunzhai, there was an inexplicable light flashing in his single eye, to break the blockade at sea, to be precise, to break the blockade of Mishima Murakami, only by letting Mishima Murakami mess up first, seize Mishima Murakami's respective loopholes, and then enlarge them, he can break Mishima Murakami's alliance.

At present, Mishima Murakami seems to be united in dealing with the rise of the Date family, but in fact it is not monolithic internally. Murakami Bukit is the most determined against Date, because the island's Murakami Yoshimitsu and the island's Kurijima Tongyasu are both attached to the land daimyo, due to the blockade of the Date family, the people in the Injima Murakami are panicked, and Murakami Yoshimitsu, who has lost the direct support of the Maori family, has been challenged by other clansmen.

Toyasu Kurishima, who came to the island, has always secretly held a grudge against the events that occurred in the 11th year of the Astronomical Year (i.e., 1542). In the 11th year of astronomy (that is, in 1542), because Kono Tongzhi had no heirs, he intended to accept his son-in-law to come to the island to inherit the family business as an adopted son, but it was strongly opposed by the important ministers of the Kono clan, because the Kono retainers were mostly inclined to be succeeded by the son of Kono Tongcun, the son of Kono Tongcun, who was the head of the Yushu family, and the two sides were almost fighting each other for this, and finally it was Bungo Daimyo Otomo Yoshikan who came forward to mediate, Kono Tongzhi retreated into seclusion, and Kono Tongmasa succeeded to the throne, but Tongzheng died soon after, and it was supposed to be another opportunity to come to the island of Tongyasu, It's just that he didn't expect that the Kono retainers would soon carry his younger brother Kono Tsunobu out again.

At the same time, Kurishima Tongkang also lost the inheritance right of Yuzhou to protect the Kono family, and this matter was a very big blow to Kurishima Village, and he has always been worried about this matter, and the relationship with Kono Tongxuan, the current head of the Kono family, is very tense.

In the second-order collapse incident, Kono Tongxuan's father-in-law Otomo Yoshikan was killed, and Kono Tongxuan, who lost the largest foreign aid, also had a bad relationship with Otomo Yoshizhen, which made the Kono family face the incursion of internal and external troubles.

Who is the biggest supporter of the Kono family, it is not the retired Kono Tongnao, Kono Tongzhi obviously does not want to see the Kono family fall into turmoil again, and hypocritically appeases the Kono family, so that he can wait for the opportunity with peace of mind, so that no direct conflict breaks out.

Zhengheng saw early on that the weakest link in Kono-toyasu was Kono Tongyasu, as long as Kono Toranao took his life, without the instigation of others, Laijima Toyasu would meet Kono Tongyasu. Although Kono Tsunobu lost foreign aid, the participants of the gang when they came to the island riot are still alive, and they will not watch the island Tongkang rise to power in vain. Once trapped, it is difficult to pull it out, and for a long time, Kurishima Tongkang can only be exhausted.

Zhengheng wrote down three nouns on the paper, Laidao, Indao, and Nengjima, and drew a black line on Laidao with pen and ink, and thought in a low voice: "Then now there are only Indao and Noh Island left, and the matter of coming to the island, I am afraid that there will be no result in a short time, so now it is time to solve the matter of Injima." ”

He took out a bookmark from his bosom, on which was written a brief introduction of Innoshima, and read it in a low voice: "The Injima Murakami clan is strong, with twenty-two horsemen in one family, twenty-eight horsemen in the outer style, two hundred and sixty horsemen in the family, and the fifty-eight families of the Injima Murakami clan are 13,000 in height, and the new Tibetan Ji Chong is the lord, and his wife is the daughter of the retainer of the Maori Longjing family, and she is close to the Maori clan. Injima Murakami made an alliance with the Mori clan in the thirteenth year of Astronomy, and made the Mori clan the leader of the alliance. In many battles of the Maori Yuan, he participated in it. ”

Under the introduction is the genealogy of Injima Murakami, after reading it several times, Zhengheng's eyes gradually lit up, he tapped his knees, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, obviously he saw the weakness of the Injima Murakami clan again, and thought: "The first generation of the creator of Injima Murakami is known as the Lady of Saemon, the second generation is Bizhong Shoujizi, the third generation is the new Tibetan Yoshimitsu, the fourth generation is the new Tibetan Shoyoshi, the fifth generation is the new Tibetan Shangyoshi, the current head of the family is three brothers, the eldest brother is the new Tibetan Yoshimitsu, the second brother is Bichu Shou Tadayoshi, and the third brother Saemon Doctor Liangkang." Giggles, their father was a wonderful man. ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhengheng muttered in a low voice: "Let's go and find out the relationship between the three brothers first, and see if there is a chance?" Well, I'll leave this matter to the Kusama Shibei. "He's still more fond of the Kusama Shibei. (To be continued......)
