Chapter 975: Shangluo Tide
As a matter of fact, there are also some ideas in the political conscience to build the southern Kyushu and even the entire Kyushu island and Kyukoku region.
For example, in order to meet the needs of development, it is planned to build a western water transportation and development artery from north to south along the coasts of Hizen Province, Higo Province, and Satsuma Province; Similarly, along the Bunzen Province, Bungo Province, and Hyuga Province to create an eastern coastal land economic route from north to south.
Both of these routes will be connected to the economic centers of Qibu City, Xuefu City, and Kishigaku Mountain City, which have run through the east and west of the Luo family's territory at this time. In this way, while promoting the development of southern Kyushu and integrating into the Luo family system, it will also build the whole of Kyushu into a place where agriculture, commerce, fishery, industry, education, etc. are very prosperous, providing an exemplary role for other territories occupied in the future, and providing strong rear support for the future expansion of the Luo family.
Of course, Masara's plan was very good, but when he told the retainers who were still arguing about what to do with the Shimazu family and what he was going to do with the Shimazu family, almost all the retainers were stunned. The military tent, which had been lively because of the controversy, was so quiet that you could hear the cry of a mosquito that is common in the summer mountain forests outside the military tent, and you could even hear the frog crying by the river in the distance at night.
Although many of the retainers in the military tent have been with Masayo for a long time, and they are already very familiar with some of the novel decisions that Masato often makes, so it can be said that they can barely keep up with Masaliang's bizarre thoughts, but even so, this time it is indeed scorched by the thunder (no way). At this time, Masato put forward the idea. It's like going back to ancient times. To a group of ancients proposed to build a railroad generally. Thinking about such a scene, everyone was naturally amazed), so everyone was quiet, and they were all thinking about the idea proposed by the lord and the princess.
It's just that after a quiet moment, after many people have digested Masayo's plan fiercely, all the retainers began to put forward their opinions one after another (this is an atmosphere that Masayo has deliberately formed in his home in the past, and everyone can put forward their own opinions before Masayo makes a final decision.) But after the decision is made, no one can disagree, but needs to go down and implement it wholeheartedly. Basically, the retainers who could not meet his requirements were all moved to some inconsequential functional positions by Zhengliang. On the contrary, this practice of Masayo also prompted the retainers to quickly adapt to Masaliang's way of discussing things.)
The first thing to argue about is the plan to dispose of the Shimazu family. The part of the retainers who originally advocated appeasing the Shimazu family naturally raised objections, and they were worried that the Shimazu family would not only not accept the conditions of the lord's good transfer, but would even cause them to resist the Luo family desperately.
This part of the retainers at the same time raised objections. The retainers who advocated the direct destruction of the Shimazu family also had an opinion, and they thought that the main government was good for this approach. Although it can make the family quickly control the southern Kyushu region, it still leaves the hidden danger of the Shimazu family, so why don't you just get rid of the Shimazu family?
Faced with the argument between the two retainers, Masahiro was really a little speechless. Indeed, because he came from later generations, saw more, and also knew a certain trend of the entire Warring States, Masahiro was naturally unmatched in terms of the overall layout and foresight of this family. At the same time, as a family governor, he represents the interests of the whole family, so when considering the problem, he also needs to take into account the actual interests of the family, so as to strive for a balance between the future development of the family and the actual interests, so as to strive for the greatest interests of the family.
As for the retainers, because they did not have Zhengliang's foresight and overall situation, they were naturally a little incomprehensive when looking at the problem, which was also normal, so Zhengliang had to personally explain the meaning of "fish and bear's paws cannot be both" in Mencius's "Fish I Want" from the ancient Chinese to everyone in detail, and everyone finally quieted down again.
"What does the lord mean that the Shimazu family at this time is the so-called 'fish and bear's paws' for the main family? The family needed to avoid fighting to the death with the Shimazu family as much as possible to avoid causing heavy damage to the family, and at the same time, it was not possible to leave the hidden danger of the Shimazu family in the southern Kyushu region in order to appease the Shimazu family, so the decision to transfer the Shimazu family to Shikoku was made? After everyone thought about it, it was Yoshida Shigemasa, the oldest veteran in the military tent and the earliest family who followed Masara, to figure it out the fastest, so he immediately asked Masara tentatively.
"Hmm. Exactly. "It's really worthy of being an important minister under his command, and he has grown, Masarashi nodded while praising Yoshida Shigemasa in his heart.
"I see!"
After Yoshida Shigemasa said this, all the retainers who were still pondering immediately came to their senses. Immediately, everyone finally agreed to Masayo's decision on the disposition of the Shimazu family, and the next thing is to see if the retainers who negotiated with the Shimazu family can win more benefits.
However, although he agreed with the decision of the lord Masara to dispose of the Shimazu family, there was a greater controversy among the retainers about Masara's plans for the future development of southern Kyushu, especially the transfer of local power and the relocation of the people.
It is no wonder that the opinions of the retainers are so great, after all, Zhengliang is just a simple plan, but it means that the Luo family will face a great consumption of resources.
Although everyone knows that the main purpose of this strategy is to eliminate the influence of the Shimazu family, the Ito family, and especially the Shimazu family in the southern Kyushu region, the implementation of the transfer of local forces, the large-scale relocation of the people to various places, or the relocation of new people into the south Kyushu region will consume super huge resources. The consumption caused by the relocation of the western kingdom, which is still in progress, has already put pressure on the retainers, and now there is a transfer and relocation plan that is even more huge than the work in the western region? Lord, are you sure your plan isn't a crash?
Moreover, this plan involves the transfer of local forces, and as soon as they hear these contents, many retainers of the Internal Affairs Pavilion are about to scold people immediately (but the retainers of the Military Pavilion are full of red light). You must know that in the process of the rise of the Luo family, in addition to the Hizen Province and Chikugo Province (at that time, the wealthy families in these two places had a long-term civil war, and the Ouchi family and the Otomo family had been fighting fiercely in these two places for a long time. There are relatively few forces within the director. Moreover, in the process of the rise of the Luo family, almost all of these forces were destroyed or swallowed up). In the rest of the area, there were riots.
It can be said that almost every area occupied by the Luo family had a riot. The last time I was in the Western Kingdom, the riots in the rear of the Fenghou Kingdom, the Fengqian Kingdom, the Chikuzen Kingdom and other places had already choked everyone in the Luo family, especially the retainers of the Internal Affairs Pavilion.
Now the lord is going to make a plan to transfer the seal in the southern Kyushu region, so do the local forces not resist? At that time, it will naturally be bloody again. The family's resources will be consumed a lot, and the retainers of the Internal Affairs Cabinet have already anticipated the work pressure they are about to face, and some of the retainers have even covered their heads in pain.
What made the retainers even more frustrating was that the so-called economic line plan of the lord Zhengliang was too resource-intensive (just building roads would make the interior cabinet unbearable). And at this time, the reconstruction plan was also being implemented in the western region? For this reason, everyone could not help but wail in their hearts:
"Lord! You're just proposing a plan, and we're the ones who actually execute it, can you still make people live? ”
According to the plan of the lord and the government, it will indeed cause the consumption of a lot of resources within the Luo family. After all, at that time, while the general territory of the entire Luo family territory is being constructed, a lot of manpower and material resources will be invested in the construction of the western region and the southern Kyushu region at the same time. The resources consumed during this period have almost made it impossible for the Luo family to conduct large-scale military operations in the coming period.
And with the continuous expansion of the Luo family, especially when it is about to enter the southern Kyushu region. After the complete unification of Kyushu Island, the Shangluo mind, which had gradually formed in the hearts of everyone, was greatly expanded at this time.
In fact, I don't know which retainer began to put forward Kamiluo's thoughts, but this idea quickly spread among the retainers of the Luo family, and many retainers led by Togo Heiji, Kinoshita Masanao, and Yoshida Shigemasa have faintly mentioned this issue more than once in their previous conversations with Masayo.
After all, as long as they are samurai born in the Warring States, they all have the passion of Shangluo in their hearts, and now that the Luo family obviously has the strength of Shangluo, they naturally hope to be able to follow Zhengliang to Shangluo in their lifetime, which is the glory of their lives.
It's just that now the lord Zhengliang has suddenly come up with such a construction plan, and the Luo family will not be able to carry out large-scale military operations in the future in terms of manpower or material resources, so doesn't it mean that the Luo family's Shangluo still needs to wait for a while? How can this be acceptable to them? So they surprisingly unanimously established the Lord's government to suspend the relevant plans for southern Kyushu.
Regarding the persuasion of the retainers, Masashi directly made this decision with his usual strength, and rejected the retainers' proposal. In desperation, the retainers had to ask for help from the oldest qualified family in Hizen Province, Togo Heiji.
After all, Togo Heiji is not only one of the first retainers to follow the lord Masahiro, as the ruler of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, he is the left arm and right arm of the lord, and he is also the father of Mrs. Kikuhime of the lord's justice room, and he has the identity of the lord's father-in-law, whether he can make the lord suspend the construction plan of southern Kyushu, now he can only rely on this old man.
And after receiving the notice from the retainer of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, Togo Heiji really immediately handed over the work in hand to Masaliang's sister-in-law, Luo Shi Huiliang, and went on the road non-stop. When he came to Masayo, the negotiations between the Shimazu family and the Luo family had not yet ended.
After seeing Togo Heiji, Masara seemed very calm and was not surprised by Togo Heiji's arrival at all. In fact, at the moment when Dongxiang Heiji was on the road, the Intelligence Pavilion reported the news of his arrival on the road to Zhengliang using the Luo's family Haidongqing intelligence transmission network, if it weren't for Zhengliang's order not to stop Dongxiang Pingji's advance, it is estimated that Dongxiang Heiji would have been placed under house arrest by the Intelligence Pavilion (after all, in the Luo family's law, those who leave their jobs at will without the permission of the lord are suspected of rebellion).
As for the purpose of Togo Heiji's arrival, Masashi is also very clear. But in Zhengliang's opinion, these retainers are blinded by Shangluo's thoughts, Shangluo is so good?
Let's not talk about how miserable the fate of those daimyo in the entire history of the Warring States period was after or during the process of going to Luo, just take Ouchi Yoshixing and Hosokawa Harumoto, who had already been in Luoluo and succeeded in Shangluo, as examples.
Let's talk about Ouchi Yoshiko first. After a four-way campaign. Eventually, after establishing the giant Ouchi family in the Saikoku region. At the call of Ashikaga Yoshisai (also known as Ashikaga Yoshinori), the 10th shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, he led the army to Kamiraku and supported the official restoration of Ashikaga Yoshisai (previously due to a coup d'état, Ashikaga Yoshisai was deprived of the position of shogun and could only wander around).
During his stay in Kyoto, Ouchi Yoshiko also had a hard time, and in order to protect Ashikaga Yoshisai's position and the status he had gained as a result, he had to fight with the forces around, and even later had a conflict with Ashikaga Yoshisai, the shogun of Shogun. Becomes thankless and dizzy. And when he was in Shangluo, he also left two disasters for the Ouchi family.
One is that a large number of ministers who have lost power went to settle in the Yamaguchi area of the Ouchi family, which made it a small Kyoto, and gradually formed a huge Kyoto culture, so that his son Ouchi Yoshitaka who stayed at home was also greatly influenced by this culture, leaving a bane for Ouchi Yoshitaka to be decadent in the future.
Of course, this is not the biggest bane left by Ouchi Yoshixing Shangluo, but the greater scourge is that the neighbor of the Ouchi family, the Niko family, took the opportunity to rise. Originally, the Nizi family gradually rose under the leadership of Nizi for a long time. But at this time, the relationship between Nizi and Ouchi Yoshixing was quite good, and Nizi even accepted Ouchi Yoshiko's invitation. He went to Kyoto to assist in the war and made great achievements, but in the end he was not paid a considerable amount, which made Nizi hold a grudge for a long time. While Ouchi Yoshiko was still in Kyoto and rejoicing at the success of Kamiraku, Niko, who had returned to the Izumo Province region, secretly planned an invasion of the Ouchi family for a long time, and even later, simply blatantly invaded.
Seeing that the Niko family was so fierce, the Ochi family's other good neighbor and good relative, the Otomo family, was naturally not far behind, so the two families took advantage of Ouchi Yoshixing's dream of enjoying the success of Joraku in Kyoto, and began to invade the Ouchi family's territory from the east and west. Under such circumstances, Ouchi Yoshixing had no choice but to put aside a business in Kyoto and return to the territory to fight.
And when he returned to the territory, Ouchi Yoshiko actively led his army to fight against the Niko family, who were constantly invading eastward, and the Otomo family, who were advancing northward. In 1523 (the third year of Oei), the Ouchi family's stronghold in Aki Province, Kageyama Castle, was captured by the Nizi family's vassal Mori Motosho (the Mori family was originally attached to the Ouchi family, and after Mori Yuan became the lord, he returned to the Niko family), and Ouchi Yoshiko sent troops to Aki Province the following year to restore some of his forces. In 1525 (the fifth year of Oei), Mori Mototo broke off diplomatic relations with the Niko family and became independent, and Ouchi Yoshiko took the opportunity to restore the Ouchi family's sphere of influence in Aki, Iwami and other places before he went to Raku. However, just as Ouchi Yoshiko was about to show his skills, unfortunately he fell ill in 1528 (the first year of Kanroku) when he sent troops to Aki Province, and died of illness shortly after returning to Yamaguchi at the age of 52.
And the other protagonist that Masarashi thought of, Hosokawa Harumoto, with the power of the Hosokawa family in the region at that time, also succeeded in the later Shunlì Kamiraku, and brought the 12th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu and the 13th shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki to death.
However, Hosokawa Harumoto was also blinded by Kamiraku.,Didn't realize the threat of the retainer Miyoshi family.,Only obsessed with the intrigue with the forces around the region.,In the end, Miyoshi Nagakei, a retainer, seized the family business.,Even exiled to Omi and other places.,According to historical development.,Recently, he should have secretly contacted Ashikaga Yoshiteru (it's ridiculous.,The two were great enemies at the beginning.,But now in order to deal with the Miyoshi family.,The two have to join forces),Trying to go to Loku again.。
Judging from what happened to these two people after going to Luo, Shangluo was successful, but the end was very miserable. Not only that, but if Ouchi Yoshiko hadn't gone to Shangluo without ensuring the stability of his territory and establishing a solid foundation, the adjacent Nizi family and the Otomo family would not have taken the opportunity to invade, and the Nizi family would not have taken the opportunity to grow into a behemoth (the Nizi family, under the leadership of Niko, has even developed into a super daimyo with the eleven kingdoms of Sanyin and Sanyang, and is known as the "Yin and Yang One Taishou" of the Warring States by later generations).
In this way, Ouchi Yoshiko would not have died of illness during the fierce battle with the Niko family, and the later heir Ouchi Yoshitaka would not have fallen into the predicament of the fierce battle with the Niko family and the Otomo family, and there would not have been a crushing defeat of Ouchi Yoshitaka on the Izumo country, and his heir was drowned because the ship sank while fleeing. Ouchi Yoshitaka will not be decadent because of the tragic death of his heir.
The rise of Kyoto culture in the Ouchi family Yamaguchi area made Ouchi Yoshitaka indulge in this culture, which led to the gradual division of the family into two camps, civil and military, because of his decadence, and finally led to Tao Qingxian's rebellion, the rise of the Maori family, and the invasion and annexation of the Luo family, and finally its demise.
As for Hosokawa Harumoto, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't lay the foundations within his own family, he made his retainers grow up until he was exiled by his retainers. Even if the Kamiro who united with Ashikaga Yoshiteru next year, if according to the development of history, this time the Kamira will still fail, and Hosokawa Haruhoto will go to the west of the crane shortly after the defeat and ordination.
What a miserable end, Zhengliang didn't want to go to Luo at the instigation of his retainers when his foundation was not yet stable.
Yes, Masara's previous transfer of the Shimazu family and the elimination of the Shimazu family's influence in southern Kyushu, and even the development plan for southern Kyushu, the western region, and the entire Kyushu will greatly hinder the expansion of the Luo family, at least for a period of time in the future, so that the Luo family can no longer go to war on a large scale like the Western Raiders and the southern Kyushu strategy.
That is, in the next period of time, in order to digest the gains and strengthen the foundation, you can only make a small fuss within a certain range. This must also be Cheng Dù's order that the Luo family will not be able to seize the opportunity when it arises. But Masayo actually made amends for this, such as the expedition team that had already been on the road. Even if he can't fully seize the opportunity, Zhengliang hopes to seize the opportunity to the maximum extent with his own strength.
Moreover, in the case of the large-scale appearance of Shangluo's thoughts by the retainers in the family, and a little inflated, Zhengliang had to stay calm, and even deliberately suppressed everyone's Shangluo thoughts. After all, it is good to hope that the family will speed up its progress, but it must not be blinded by momentary desires, otherwise it is very easy to have an accident, at least after everyone calms down, and the Luo family can only go to Luo after they have a good foundation in the rear.
Judging from the current situation, once the plan proposed by Masarashi is suspended for the sake of Kamiraku, then once a guy from the Shimazu family who runs out of the southern Kyushu area in the future raises his arms, there is a possibility that someone will immediately rebel.
As the saying goes, you can't have both, Zhengliang would rather use the rapid but unstable development of the Luo family in the next few years in exchange for the stability of the foundation and the future stability of the territory, even if it affects the layout of the entire family in the Warring States and his own Shangluo career, he has to grit his teeth and persevere, in order to lay a stable and stable foundation for future generations.
