Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle of Kyushu Begins Today (1)

One of the biggest manifestations of whether a person has a city government or not is whether he will panic when he is suddenly asked some questions that he is very worried about. After all, Suifeng has not become a sea of heaven, he is young and conceited and incomparable, and today he changed color several times in the conversation with Zhengheng, and when he heard Zhengheng's heartfelt words in the end, although he was not panicked, his expression became stiff again.

Sui Feng is conceited and intelligent, and the reason for listening to the last sentence of Zhengheng to play the chess game is because of the panic caused by the death of a person, he is the frog at the bottom of the well, and he does not know the size of the world, which also makes the information asymmetry advantage of the traverser.

Zheng Heng's expression was solemn, and he said worriedly: "Sui Feng can know about the invasion of Yuankou. In addition to destroying the Song Dynasty, it can be said that when the spring breeze was proud, it invaded twice, and if it were not for the fierce resistance of the Chinese people and the help of the kamikaze, I am afraid that the country would have perished. ”

Sui Feng categorically didn't know why Zhengheng would say this, but he heard Zhengheng say that the Yuankou invasion of the old thing, as a Kanto native, he was instilled from a young age that his father and ancestors had participated in the resistance to the Yuankou, which is a glorious history of few Japanese people, of course, it is familiar.

Zhengheng didn't wait for the wind to answer, and continued: "The speed of the fall of Yuankou is unprecedented, and the Tang Tu is still restored by the descendants of the Tang people, it is for the Ming Dynasty, it has been one hundred and ninety-one years ago, and today is His Majesty Zhu Houxi, the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Sui Feng glanced at Zheng Heng and asked, "I don't know what kind of care this matter has to do with you and me?" ”

Zhengheng seemed to be in deep thought, and only after a long time did he say: "This Wang Zhiwang Wufeng stole the Five Islands and Pinghu and other places, built sea ships as his arms, and recruited ownerless ronins and poor people as his minions. Coming and going between the Ming and the Wai. If you enter, you will walk privately. Out of the nature of plunder, frequently wreaking havoc on the Ming Dynasty, its disciples more than two or three hundred thousand, including as many as two or three out of ten, large and small sea ships more than a thousand. In recent years, Wang Zhi actually believed Hu Zongxian's words, put down his sword and made a move to recruit peace, but he was really deceived. was ensnared and imprisoned, and soon beheaded. ”

Suifeng never thought that there was such a strong force entrenched between the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, how could the side of the couch allow others to snore, this is not only said by the Song people, but also by the Wa people, the Ming Dynasty is entrenched in the homeland of China, it is really understandable, but there are people who leap into the place where the Yuan Kou invaded, or can't help but be shocked into a cold sweat. If it is really as Zhengheng said, its people are two or three hundred thousand. Among them, the number of soldiers is as high as 23 out of ten, and the number of whole numbers is as high as 50,000.

Plus thousands of large and small sea vessels. 50,000 soldiers, who can compare with this in the entire Wa country, even the one in front of him cannot be compared. Sui Feng let out a cold sweat, but he found a little mistake and omission, and said: "I heard what the adults said just now that Da Ming will cause ten years of misfortune, I don't know what happened?" ”

Sure enough, he is worthy of growing into a black-clothed prime minister, after a little muttering, a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes, and he mourned silently for the people of the Chinese homeland, and said: "Wang Zhi can control a huge number of soldiers and horses, can be called a hero, died at the hands of the Ming Dynasty, if his successor does not have his ability to control, then only under the pretense of avenging Wang Zhi's righteousness, and start a war, in this way, I will say that the next ten years will be the darkest opening of the Ming Dynasty, but ten years later, I am afraid that the Japanese will reappear on the day of the invasion of the Yuankou." ”

Reproducing the invasion of Yuankou, I was shocked by the wind, if what Zhengheng said earlier was true, Wang Zhi asked and beheaded, if his heir was incapable, he would definitely embark on the righteous name of pretending to avenge Wang Zhi, but there was some absurdity in the back, and he was not a prophet, how to guess what would happen ten years later.

This is the advantage of information asymmetry, simple and effective, subtle variables are used well, and the whole situation can be leveraged lightly.

Zheng Heng was awe-inspiring in his heart, and said in a daze: "Wang Zhi's descendants invaded the Ming Dynasty under the pretense of the Japanese Invaders, and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably have evil thoughts about my Great Japanese Country under the pretense of not knowing it. You must know that the population of the Ming Dynasty is 20,000,000 people, and the land is ten times more than 100 times that of the Wa Kingdom. ”

20,000,000 people, exclaimed with the wind, you must know that the population of the Wa Kingdom is at most seven or eight million, of course, you can't imagine what an empire with a population of 20,000 is like, according to his ideas, the population of the Wa State is at most seven or eight hundred thousand, and it will support nearly 150,000 samurai and six or seven hundred thousand peasant soldiers, that is to say, ten people from all over the country will send one ding, 20,000 people, and the number of soldiers will exceed 10 million, which is more than the total population of the Wa Kingdom.

Sui Feng took a deep breath, forced his composure, and said: "I heard the words of the adults from the bottom of my heart today, but I don't know what the adults want?" "Yes, he is a monk with no reputation, and the overlord of a quarter of the Japanese kingdom will treat him so politely, and say so many words to him.

After saying a lot of words with Suifeng, Zhengheng finally put forward his first request after some greetings, which was not to let Suifeng become his retainer, nor to become a diplomatic monk like Zhu Yun Huixin, and said: "Suifeng, I hope you can go to Kyoto in the Ming Dynasty, serve as a lobbyist for the Fujiwara clan, and explain the difference between the Wa Kingdom and the Wako to the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, if the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, if they need it, the Fujiwara clan is willing to fight the Wako for the Ming Dynasty." ”

Hearing Zhengheng's words, Sui Feng was slightly stunned, he never thought that the reason why Zhengheng met with him would be this, but it surprised him, you must know that although Ida's family is not full of friends, talented people are not uncommon, why would an outsider be sent on such an important mission. You must know that Suifeng is not a retainer of the Date family, he still has the mark of the Tiantai Sect on his body, and now the Tiantai Sect is facing life and death, but let him go to Daming, but he is still moved, it is Daming, but he still asked the biggest doubt in his heart: "Why choose the poor monk?" ”

Zheng Heng paused for a moment and said: "There are so many people in the world, but it is really difficult to find a wise man who can take on such a heavy responsibility, you must know that this wise man must not only be open-minded and inclusive. At the same time, you have to have a wrist. The heart must also be ruthless. It seems that you are most suitable for the wind. Of course, I still have some selfish intentions, and it is better to send out an outlier like you as soon as possible to harm others, otherwise ten years may not be enough for me to calm the world and then defend my family and country. ”

Sui Feng was stunned for a moment, and he also laughed and said, "Wonderful, wonderful." The poor monks were willing to go to the Ming Dynasty to see how prosperous the center of the world was, and when the time came, they would do their best to tell those high-ranking officials and nobles who treated the Wa Kingdom differently. ”

Zhengheng stood up and saluted, "Follow the wind, then please leave it to you." "I bowed down to the wind to receive the teaching, and I already believed in the seven points of political balance in my heart.

Zheng Heng looked at the figure leaving with the wind, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "With the wind has entered the hub, one step at a time, if what the red lady said is true, the Ming Dynasty needs to pay a heavy price to destroy Mao Haifeng, then there may be a day when it will blossom and bear fruit." ”

Zhengheng said to the Kuroda officers and soldiers who followed: "Tell me to go down." Spy on the monk's movements, as if you want to escape. Kill it now, and you don't have to report it to me. "He has always been merciful, but there are times of cruelty when dealing with the truly wise.

Kuroda saluted and took two steps back before turning to leave.

Zheng Heng returned to the study, put his eyes on the document on the desk again, this is the document that has not been approved yesterday, he shook his head, closed the paperwork, at this time he really has no interest in reading it, wait for a while to be interested in it and then come to review! Anyway, it's all some dispensable things, and there is not much difference between more and less moments of review.

Not long after he sat down, Miyahara Masashige came to visit again, and hurriedly arrived, and reported neatly: "My lord, the cold spring Takatsu of the Bunzen Ouchi family asks to see, and there are more than ten people in his entourage, and they have arranged to stay, I don't know when to summon it?" ”

Zhengheng pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow morning, arrange for Lengquan Longfeng to meet alone, and the rest of the people will wait for the good students to make arrangements." It seems that one of the two brothers, Yoshijin Otomo and Haruhide Ouchi, is going to be restless again, and I am afraid that last year's war will be unwilling. ”

Miyahara re-ordered to leave.

Early the next morning, Ryosen Takatoshi appeared outside Okayama Castle under the leadership of Miyahara Masashige, he looked up at this big city, his eyes were full of complicated colors, an inconsequential local tyrant would grow into a hegemon with a quarter of the world in just seven or eight years, and the people of the world were just around the corner. He has long lost envy and jealousy, and only reverence and helplessness for political balance.

Zhengheng can be regarded as an old friend, the matter of Jinguang Zonggao can be said to be the fuse that broke the Ouchi clan, it is the thing that the cold spring Longfeng who is not old and decrepit in front of him has done, but most of the unpleasant things that have not been seen for a few years have been forgotten, he said: "I heard that Cold Spring Longfeng came a few days ago, and I always miss when I can meet Mr., please give me a lesson or two, I don't want to be Mr. Today but Mr. came first, and the guards are about to prepare breakfast, today I eat at the same table with Mr."

Leng Quan Longfeng smiled, the tiredness on his face was even stronger, and his eyes stared directly at Zhengheng, and he was silent for a long time. Zheng Heng obviously knew why Leng Quan Longfeng came here today, but not only did he not say anything about it, but he did enough to ignore his past suspicions and look thirsty for talent, which had to make people think that he was benevolent.

The reputation of Zhengheng's thirst for talent has long spread in the world, and now some of the ronin who are not famous have come to Date to ask for a career, of course, he also selected a large number of middle and lower-level retainers from the middle, most of them are now struggling in various fields, but the real famous retainers or the countrymen of other countries are not so easy to enter, this is not like the game can go to other countries to find talents.

However, whenever he sees the retainers of other countries, he always behaves extremely enthusiastically, and he has to make the heads of those retainers think that whether these retainers have received his favor or not, and the trust will be a little worse, and after going back and forth, these people finally have to become the help of the Date family in desperation.

In any case, Zheng Heng has won the hearts of many samurai for himself, both consciously and unconsciously. Although this samurai's heart has only manifested itself in the middle and lower ranks until now, and has not played much role, it has played a huge role in the future when he competes with the heroes for the world.

As soon as the thought turned, Leng Quan Takaho sighed worriedly and said, "The foreign minister first congratulates Lord Dazai Daiji on the new Inoba and the two countries of Tajima. "The affairs of Inaba and Tajima have now spread all over the world, and the movements of the Date family have been concerned by people all over the world, so it is naturally difficult to keep the affairs of Inaba and Tajima secret.

Zhengheng said lightly: "Mr. Doctor Judge doesn't have to be so restrained, Zhengheng admires Mr.'s talent to say this, if Mr. makes him uncomfortable, it is Zhengheng's mistake." "It's as if the seizure of Inaba and Tajima was a trivial matter.

The Date family's easy access to Inaba and Tajima greatly increased his authority, which will inevitably lead to another great increase in the strength of the Date family, which is not known to the Bunzen Ouchi family whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, but now Ouchi Haruei and Cold Spring Takatoyo both know that their family has no chance to take food from the tiger's mouth, only the fox who is the fox who is the fake tiger.

Leng Quan Takaho sighed secretly, his face was solemn, and said: "Lord Dazai, the head of the family sent his ministers here this time to ask Lord Dazai to fulfill the alliance between the two families, send troops to help the Ouchi family expel the enemy at sea, and at the same time mediate the relationship with Ryuzoji Temple. ”

The relationship between the Date family and the Ryuzoji family did not hide from others, even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't hide it, and Ryuzoji Takashin got Date support, and the fact that he bought more than 300 iron cannons from the Date family at a discount price of half selling and half giving away was publicized by him for fear that people would not know.

Ryuzoji Takanobu Fox fake tiger might,Stirzen set off a wave in Hizen country,Because the Date family supported Ryuzoji Takanobu,Caused most of the Hizen people to begin to favor Ryuzoji Takanobu,Shao Erdong still asked for the support of Otomo Yoshizhen but barely resisted。

Because the Date family held Ōuchi Haruei against Otomo Yoshijin, forcing the latter to also regard Ryuzoji Takanobu as an enemy and began to support the young two winter shang, the young two winter shang's days were not as tragic as in history when he committed suicide in Sefukuji Castle that year, and the young two family perished.

Not only did Shoji Futsumi have the support of Otomo Yoshijin, but Chikuzen's Akizuki, Tachibana, Takahashi and other families also formed an alliance with Otomo Yoshijin against the Ouchi family, who were expanding their space in Chikuzen, so that both Ouchi Haruhi and Ryuzoji Takanobu saw the importance of alliances.

The two foxes of the fox fake tiger want to form an alliance, of course they can't get around the tiger, and Ryosen Takaho came on the order of the head of the family, Haruei Ouchi, but the two have already contacted many times in secret and reached a consensus, and now they just need to wait for the Date family to agree.
