The sea breeze from the Seto Inland Sea blows through the busy port of Osaka, and seabirds chirp from the woods of Renjoji Temple towards Osaka Castle. www.biquge.info The green leaves above the head swayed gently in the breeze, and the water in the moat had risen to the edge of the river, and the trouser legs would be wet when standing by the river.

The Lotus Temple was newly built, and it was originally the relics of the Lotus Master. At the behest of the 12th Bishop of Honganji Temple, and his mother, Nyūharuni, and with the approval of Masaki, a small temple was built on the west side of Osaka Castle and named Rennjoji Temple. A consecration ceremony was held to enshrine the Buddha statue of the Venerable Lotus Buddha. Renruji Temple is very small in scale and does not have many offerings, but it has many benefits for the post-Xianru era of Honganji, at least it has been officially recognized, and it is no longer the enemy of the previous emperor who everyone shouts and beats.

For Zhengheng, religion has gradually come to the forefront, especially a large number of Buddhist sects that have been destroyed in the disaster of Yongroku, which has brought unprecedented vacuum to the power of Kinai and given the Date family the opportunity to get their hands on it.

Zhengheng is also cautious about religious affairs in the process of reconstruction, and does not want to have a religious collective that is above secular power.

This is also one of the reasons why he wants to support Honganji, and Honganji stands on the opposite side of most Buddhist religions.

The new Ita Territory has gradually been on the right track, and the Eternal Disaster has not only dealt a severe blow to the religious forces in various places, but also swept away the local family forces, and a large number of lords and unowned lands have become vacant, making the new rulers much more busy.

If it were other families, I'm afraid they would have been dragged down by the work in front of them. Fortunately, the Date family, which is famous for its number of samurai and attendants, was still a bit of a scramble, but it quickly passed through the rules and regulations.

Having a complete police system and espionage system has proven to be crucial for a new regime with a vast territory. Masahiro is located in Osaka Castle, and he can know everything about things inside and outside the territory, and constantly receive all kinds of news.

The police system pays attention to the people's livelihood, the spy system pays attention to the upper and outer levels, expands the ranks of the Hattori and Tozawa people, and uses the rapidly developing post station system to quickly transmit news. In Kitakyushu, Ouchi Yoshinaga, Ryuzoji Takanobu and Otomo Yoshijin are also restless and strife, all of them want to decide the winner.

The next news made Masahiro sigh, Ouchi's famous general, who followed Ouchi Yoshixing, Yoshitaka, and Yoshinaga's three generations of pen head old cold spring Takaho, died of a sudden illness in the army shortly after Ouchi Yoshicho went on the expedition, and this incident will have a series of unpredictable effects.

In addition to sighing, Zhengheng is also very concerned.

Because Ryosen Takatoyo still has some popularity in Date's family, it is also the mediation of Ryosen Takatoyo that makes Ouchi Yoshinaga express his obedience to Date's family in face, once Lengquan Takatoyo dies of illness, it is unknown what the two families will do.

The next news surprised Zhengheng even more. After learning the news of the death of Ryosen Takatoyo, Ouchi Yoshinaga not only did not stop advancing, but stepped up the pace of the attack, and within a few days successively attacked Takada, Takeda, and Furai castles, and approached Naita Castle of the old Naita Kenki, the important retainer of Otomo Yoshijin.

Masahiro suddenly had the feeling of deliberately luring Ouchi Yoshinaga deep into the hinterland, and Yoshihiro Kanri of Takada Castle, Takeda Tsu Tsu of Takeda Tsu Castle, and Furai Ken Tadashi of Fulai Castle were all well-known brave generals.

In particular, Yoshihiro Kanri was one of the three elders of Bungo, and he had an outstanding military performance, and his reputation began to spread from the defeat of the Ouchi family in the Battle of Seba Hara in the Otomo Yoshikan era. Besides, these castles are all solid stone cities, how can they fall in a short period of time.

Zhengheng banged on the table, he had a feeling that the wind was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, two big battles that didn't seem to be directly related to him, but whether it was Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, Hojo Shiyasu, Imagawa Yoshimoto in the east or Ouchi Yoshicho, Otomo Yoshijin, and Ryuzoji Takanobu in the west, there would be a strong man who could challenge the Date family. If the two families reach a tacit understanding and attack the Date family together, Zhengheng will really feel like taking care of one or the other.

In the troubled times of the Warring States, everything was focused on militarization, and it can be said that the people's livelihood economy was gradually transformed into militarization, even the Date family, which had vaguely become a member of the world, was no exception. Arms production is at the center of the entire national economy.

Zheng Heng stopped his fingers, wrote a few words on the paper at random, and then commanded to the attendant: "Summoning the wild mountain Yi Dynasty into the city." ”

After a while, Noyama Masachao arrived.

Zhengheng first handed over the information he got to Noyama Yoshicho, and after waiting for a while, Noyama Yoshichao put down the information and pondered for a moment before saying: "According to the information obtained, His Majesty is not optimistic about Ouchi Yoshicho's trip, and I am afraid that he will suffer a fiasco." ”

Zheng Heng nodded, the two of them had the same opinion, pondered for a while, and asked, "How long will it take for the Four Nations Legion to regroup?" ”

The Shikoku Legion has not been disbanded since it took Shikoku Island, but it has suppressed dissatisfaction in various parts of Shikoku, and the issue of Zhengheng, combined with the information he saw earlier, Noyama Masashi looked at him, and he knew the meaning of Zhengheng summoning him.

Noyama Masahimasa pondered for a while and replied: "The scale of the entire assembly is too large, which will definitely attract the attention of the Bungo Otomo family, but if you want to gather 12,000 to 15,000 people, three days is enough, and there are two main difficulties, one is how to land, and the other is the difficulty of raising food. ”

Zhengheng said: "The navy will set sail from Okayama Castle, don't worry about the food problem, but where to land has to think about it, rashly going to Funai Harbor is likely to hit the head and break the bloodstream, but I will let the navy fight with the Otomo family sailor in Zhoufangtan first, and then consider landing." ”

Bungo country is the base of the Otomo family, although this generation of the head of the family Otomo Yoshizhen has been defeated repeatedly in the past few years, but the strength has not lost much, in the Bungo country has a rich foundation, tens of thousands of horses, the strength is still not to be underestimated. The Bungo Strait is narrow, and it is easy to cross it, but it is not so easy to establish a foothold on it.

You must know that the Date family landed in Bungo Province as a guest army, and once it can't gain a foothold in a short time, it is likely to face waves of Otomo family soldiers and horses, but I am afraid that the Date family will be driven into the sea by then. In order to defend the country, any idea of underestimating the enemy is very dangerous.

Zheng Heng pointed to the ground on the map and said: "The enemy is also going to me!" ”

Noyama Masashi looked at it and said with a smile, "Kunisaki-gun?!" ”
