Zhengheng stared at the team of Nizi Haruhisa and his party in the distance, counting the passing years, this move may be a little whisper to others, thinking that he is worried about letting the tiger return to the mountain, but the people who follow him all the way can get a glimpse of a different feeling. A few years ago, Nizi Qingjiu, who was still looking up at the starry sky, became an orderly doll a few years later, wanting him to live or die at the thought of political balance. The current situation has nothing to do with life a few years ago.

The current political balance is already a Warring States daimyo who commands more than 800,000 stone and more than 20,000 troops in the four countries, and his subordinates are all over the place. The four kingdoms of Kibi are under his control, and the political balance has always been used regardless of their origin and past, even robbers and non-people, as long as they have the strength, they can be organized into the team, and the members of the desired are not very high, and there are often disputes between the retainers, if it were not for the repeated mediation of the joint war and the political balance, although there has been no irreparable incident so far, but he has been deeply aware that a set of regulations must be drawn up to manage this increasingly large organization.

For a long time, the government has been centered on the people of the two prefectures of Agakita and the people of Bichu to form forces on both wings, but with the addition of Bigo, Bizen, and Misaku, this system has slowly become a little impractical, and it is necessary to include the people of Bizen, Bigo, and Misaku into the system of the Date family, which is what Shoyo needs to consider in the next few years.

The Date family had basically annexed the land of the ancient Kibi Shikoku, occupied the western Harima country to the east, extended its power to Harima, annexed the Toyoda gun of Aki Province to the west, and defeated Mori Motomasa and Niko Haruhisa successively, causing both to suffer a great loss. It will not be possible to recover its vitality in three or five years. So. There are no enemies from the outside who dare to attack. You can sit and wait for the collapse of the country. Raise troops to Shangluo; Retreat can peek into the two ways of yin and yang, and dominate the Chinese region. However, swallowing such a large territory in one go, it is by no means something that can be done in a short period of time to thoroughly digest and absorb it, assimilate the inhabitants, and stabilize the rule. What's more, there are still many careerists in the territory who are unwilling to submit to the rule of the Date family, and the people's livelihood has already been destroyed by the war, and these things are not resolved. It's like stepping on a sampan across the Seto Inland Sea, and it looks so brisk that it doesn't take much wind or waves to capsize him.

What's more, the age of Zhengheng is there, he is not in a hurry, he can slowly adjust and reform the law. The success or failure of the war depends largely on strategic reserves. The most important thing now is to recuperate and accumulate national strength.

What's more, the current external situation does not allow him to continue to expand, and Miyoshi Changqing in Jinai is in full swing. He defeated Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Hosokawa Harumoto several times in the Southern Expedition and Northern War, and once he completely moved his forces to Harima, he would inevitably attract his attention; In the East. The struggle for hegemony between Yoshinaga Ouchi and Yoshitaka Ouchi is still ongoing, and with the decline of Mori Motoshi and Niko Haruha, Ouchi Yoshinaga's power will then lead to a wave of upswing, which has both advantages and disadvantages for the Date family.

In the short term, trying to avoid direct borders with the two major warring states of the East and West has been a priority of the Date family's diplomacy in the near future.

The founders of the great cause of the Date family must not be complacent because of victory, and precedents can be found in history. With the Date family's southern conquest and northern war, Bei China enjoyed the fruits of victory, and most of his heart was on the Date family, but how to make the people of Bigo Country, Bizen Country and Misaku Country also have their hearts on the Date family and become the arm of the Date family to become the overlord of the world, this is the problem that Zhengheng needs to think about now.

The journey of the Sengoku will not be halted because the Date family wants to recuperate, nor will it be relieved by people's thoughts, and the study of the political balance is full of information from all over Shikoku and its neighbors.

Miura Sadahiro, the son of the former lord of Takada Castle, Miura Sadahisa, raised troops under the support of his retainers Makishoharu and Kaneda Hirohisa, trying to take advantage of the fact that the Date family was not firmly established to recapture Takada Castle, but was attacked by the Tsubi and samurai regiments led by Katayama Morinaga, Miura Sadahiro committed suicide after holding on for three days, and many of them were killed in battle, and Miura's relict supported his brother Miura Sun Kuro Sadakatsu to kneel and accept the title of Date Masahiro, and obtained the 1,000 stone of Bizen Province, and set off to settle in Bizen Province, and the Misaku Miura clan was removed from this list.

With the successive downfall of the Miura, Emi, and Ogawara clans, and the surrender of the Suga clan, Misaku became the new land occupied by the Date family.

In the case of a rebellion in the future, the Date army could reach the enemy territory from the wide avenue, without fear of being hindered by someone in the middle, and it would also allow more people to know the policy of the Date family, so that they would not be used by careerists to cause civil unrest.

Zheng Heng then ordered someone to open a map three or four meters square, he lay on the map, and drew out a line with charcoal, these lines all point to a point, Okayama City, yes, in his thoughts, this historical Uki family residence will become his future main city, using the galloping roads to control the surrounding territory.

He understood that once he wanted to completely control these families, he would need important manpower and material resources, but instead of surveillance, he only needed to let them monitor each other, and he could also control some key points in the hands of close retainers according to their relatives and relatives.

It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build the road, but for the current Date family, there is no shortage of manpower, although with the surrender of Misakoku, it is not good to continue to imprison Misaku, but in his hands there are nearly 10,000 captives of the Maori family and the Nizi family.

With the captives who don't want to pay their salaries, and the cement that was produced more than 200 years early, it was enough to support the large-scale construction of the Date family in the future. Zhengheng received the benefits of cement as a traverser, and the country of Wa is a country with a fierce volcano, and the most important thing in this country is limestone, and under the guidance of the entire process of making zuò, success becomes a matter of course with a single order.

The construction of Chidao cannot be completed overnight, Zheng Heng straightened up from the map, and thought: "Almost, the distribution of land in this way should be able to do everything, and it is time to return to China." ”

Just when Zheng Heng was full of thoughts, a message suddenly came from the door: "Chen Songdao Hengsheng asks to see the lord." ”

Zheng Heng slowly rolled up the big map, and then did it in front of the bookcase, picked up a piece of information, looked at it, and said, "Come in!" ”

The dusty Matsushima Hengsheng walked in, Zhengheng glanced up at him, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ouchi Yoshicho sent an envoy to send a message."

Zhengheng frowned slightly: "Ouchi Yoshina?" Show me. ”

Matsushima Hengsheng immediately stepped forward, put his hands on the faith, and whispered at the same time: "Ouchi Yoshinaga's envoy Hironaka Takabao is now waiting under Takada Castle. ”

Masahiro nodded slightly, took the trust and looked at it, the seal was intact and had not been opened, and after tearing it out, he took out a letter from it, which was Miyahara Tanba's handwritten letter, which first talked about some observations and experiences, and then wrote the key points, Ouchi Yoshicho was willing to sign an alliance with the Date family, and finally wrote that Ouchi Yoshinaga invited Date Masahiro to meet with Yoshida Yamashiro in Yoshida County.

Zhengheng smiled slightly, Ouchi Yoshicho really deserved to be the unequaled general of the Western Kingdom, and he would even say about the meeting in the mountain castle of Yoshida County, of course, this will not be a meeting with the wind and rain, it will be a meeting to divide the country of Anyi. On second thought, for Ouchi Yoshinaga, at a time when risks and opportunities coexisted, Ouchi Yoshitaka received the support of Otomo Yoshijin, to be precise, Ouchi Yoshijin expanded his sphere of influence in Chikusei, Chikugo, Bunzen and other places, rebuilt Moji Castle, and actively prepared for war, which made Ouchi Yoshicho feel great pressure. If a militant and powerful force appears in the hinterland behind it at this time, it is also unbearable, although Ouchi Yoshinaga's move seems abrupt, but it is actually a test of the attitude of the Date family, especially whether the Date family accepts the invitation of Ouchi Yoshinaga, in what way, the attitude of the Date family will be exposed on the Cheng dù, then Ouchi Yoshicho can respond early.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being an unparalleled warrior in the Western Kingdom, Zheng Heng knocked on the bookcase, pondered carefully for a long time, looked up, and saw that Matsushima Hengsheng was still kneeling on one side, so he smiled and waved his hand and said: "You go, and tell the Ouchi envoy that he is busy with government affairs, and he will see him tomorrow." You personally sent him to the building, and you were treated with great hospitality, and you must not be rude. ”

Matsushima Hengsheng understood and immediately retreated.

In history, Tao Qingxian rebelled and forced to kill the old lord Ouchi Yoshitaka ushered in the younger brother of Otomo Yoshicho Ouchi as the new master of the Ouchi family, due to the butterfly effect of political balance, the original storm on the sea was calm, Ouchi Yoshitaka fled to Kyushu and set up a relationship with Otomo Yoshizhen, Tao Qingxian lost the opportunity for peace, the dignified Ouchi family can not be without an owner for a day, he had to change his name and surname to inherit the Ouchi family, and became the original history of the inactive Ouchi Yoshicho, of course, this Ouchi Yoshicho is not the other Ouchi Yoshinaga.

In the same way, the historical Tao Qingxian and Otomo Yoshijin made an alliance, defeated a series of political enemies in the southern and northern wars, and died at the hands of Maori Motoshi in pride. The current Tao Qingxian, that is, Ouchi Yoshinaga, due to the strong enemy's ring feeding, can think calmly in times of peace, and completely control the two countries of Nagato and Zhoufang, taking advantage of the opportunity to seize Nishiiwa Province before Haruha Nishi's troops are prepared, and defeated Yoshimi Masanori step by step, it is not surprising that he wants to take advantage of the great injury of Niko Haruma and Mori Yuan to seize some benefits.
