However, Kuroda Kanbei retreated, and Masahiro was not happy because of the language advantage, and the little expectation in his heart had already gradually dissipated, and the memory of his past life was slowly buried, and occasionally he remembered it like a meteor across the sky, leaving only a faint sorrow and a little melancholy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, today's visit to Tadaro Ijiin opened up his dusty memory, and he couldn't help but think of the knots that were cut and untied between the middle and the Japanese, and if the Shimazu family was really allowed to mess around, would it really attract the attention of the great gods.

Zhengheng took a deep breath and knew that if he gave up the westward expansion policy and advocated the strategy of going south, the Ryukyu Islands would not be able to get around, and even the island of Taiwan would be difficult to bypass, which was the reason why he felt sad and melancholy.

Once today's conversation spreads, people of insight among the Japanese people will certainly applaud the strategy of political balance. Zhengheng is not only strategic, but also far-sighted, others can take one step at most to see three steps, he has been looking at more than ten years later.

However, Zhengheng's mood was very low, and he felt deep sadness and even more helplessness. At present, there is a lot of excitement within the Wa State, and he is opposed to the foreign expansion policy of the Wa State, but no one except him knows his difficulties, and all of them believe that foreign war is the only way out for the Wa State to divert its internal contradictions. Even Masahiro can't say any reason to oppose this horrific wave, which is one of the reasons why Masahiro is staying in Kokura Castle in Kyushu.

Obviously, Masahiro's decision to personally conquer Kyushu and stay in Kokura Castle has once again been over-interpreted in the eyes of many people, and the most interpreted is that Masahiro needs to establish an effective system in Kyushu, and then use Kyushu as a bridgehead to wage war against the outside world.

Such interpretations abound, and even many of the adversaries knew what the next strategic goal of the Date family was. They all threw themselves in favor to redeem the Date family's malicious attitude towards them, which is the biggest reason why Matsuura Takanobu and Shimazu Takashi have been delayed for a long time.

Zhengheng knows that once the general trend of foreign war is formed, even if he can use his authority to stop it, it will be difficult to stop the rolling push of the general trend, and even he will not be able to use the usual methods to smooth out the habitual thinking formed by the century-old turmoil.

It is not so much the habitual thinking that has developed since the Onin Rebellion that has been formed, but rather the fact that since the Shogun usurped the emperor and became the true ruler of the Wa Kingdom, the entire political, economic, cultural, and educational aspects of the state life of the Wa Kingdom have served and maintained the ideological and political system of the Shogunate's rule. After entering the troubled times of the Warring States, it became even more cruel, and countless people were involved in this power game that was originally the ruling class, and they died madly for it.

Getting rid of the previous system of integrating soldiers and peasants and adopting the method of employing professional soldiers to fight for them in cash is the foundation of the rise of political balance, and this kind of gradual transformation from the joint system of the countrymen and local tyrants of various princes to the militaristic and dictatorial form of government has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that they were able to organize a well-organized samurai army, and on this basis, the use of various new weapons played a decisive role in the hegemony of the Date family, and it was their predecessors and successors that allowed Mashiro to sit in the high position of the minister, and the Date family government was also born in the war.

The Date family promoted a large number of commoners, merchants, and workers to become samurai, which made the already very tense land resource problem even more tense, and with the approach of unifying the world, Masahiro encountered the same problem as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The existing land was not enough to reward the samurai class who had achieved great military achievements, and of course, the problems encountered by the political balance were much better than those of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi's regime was originally a castle built on the beach, and it was very unstable.

The strategy adopted by Masahiro after starting out was completely different from that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was more of a appeasement, and the use of war methods was always the last resort, while Masahiro was different, he often put the means of war at the forefront, which made the land that the Date family could allocate much richer than Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, the creation of a quasi-samurai police system and a militia system has made the ruling class that overrides the civilian class even larger, which allows the Date family to survive in the short term, and if it drags on, I am afraid that it will collapse without a foreign war.

There is not enough financial base, it is always a contract built on the beach, and it only takes a wave to collapse him.

Historically, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who consumed too much financial and material resources, which was one of the main reasons why Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to establish the Edo shogunate and close the country without launching large-scale turmoil, and the main reason was that the Battle of Fumiroku Keichanaga abolished a generation cultivated in the Warring States period and shattered their morale. This continued until the First Sino-Japanese War defeated the weak and incompetent mite government and rose again.

The difficulties encountered by Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced him to embark on the path of foreign expansion and plundering resources. Although the Battle of Bunroku Keicho exhausted the financial and material resources of the Toyotomi regime and caused the Toyotomi regime to collapse quickly, when you scold him, you have to admire him.

Now that Masahiro has this feeling, the problems encountered by Toyotomi Hideyoshi are also not immune.

Is it really going to start a war that will inevitably lead to the destruction of this plane? Zhengheng asked himself if it was difficult for him to choose, yes, if he decided his head according to his ass, he should have no scruples, but according to the heart of the traverser, he could only shrink his hands and feet.

Even in order to continue to exist, self-restraint is the best and only answer.

Of course, if you want to resolve the crisis, you are not a big politician before the political balance crossing, but just a keyboard politician at home, and the experience after the crossing cannot cultivate a higher political consciousness, and it is difficult to figure out how to resolve the current difficulties.

Replacing another war with one war is the only way that Zhengheng can think of, and choosing an opponent who is worse in size and strength than the Japanese State to fight a war with a very high probability of victory is the best and only way that Zhengheng can think of.

However, the geography of the Wa Kingdom made it very limited in the number of opponents that the political balance could choose. No matter which path of expansion he takes, he can't bypass the land blessed by the great god, and Zhengheng sees a deep crisis in it, and he actively goes south, the purpose of which is nothing more than to avoid the great god, after all, it is much better to go south than to come in west.

Could it be that now is the era of cold weapons, the era of sailing ships on the sea, even if you go south, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid the great gods, this is the reason why Zhengheng feels sad and melancholy.

While the pros and cons were weighed in the political balance, Takanobu Matsuura was self-righteous and restarted the road to the revival of Baekje.
