Mori Moto's trip to the inner hall of the Zhou Defense University can be described as a great success.

Not only did he resolve the crisis of the Mori family, but he also re-established trust with Yoshitaka Ouchi. Subsequently, the Ouchi family made a high-profile search for people who spread rumors about the Maori family in their territory, and at the same time supported Maori Takamoto to inherit the position of Maori family governor (in fact, Maori Takamoto inherited the family governor at home last year, Maori Yuan had already notified Ouchi Yoshitaka, and now it is just a tacit understanding that this matter has just happened). The Ouchi family's series of actions told everyone with practical actions that the Ouchi family still believed in the Maori family, thus confirming that those rumors were false.

This series of actions of the Ouchi family has caused dissatisfaction among some of the retainers, including the Zhou Defense Guardian Dai Tao Takabo, the Nagato Guardian Dai Naito Takayo and the Bunzen Guardian Dai Sugishige, and perhaps Ouchi Yoshitaka will fully believe in Mori Motosaku, but after some investigation and confirmation, these retainers feel that some of the rumors are credible. Such ambitious retainers were naturally not something that the Ouchi family should be treated leniently, and they advocated the division of the Maori family's territory and strengthened the constraints on the Maori family. It's just that their upper sparseness did not receive a response from Yoshitaka Ouchi. Ouchi Yoshitaka's handling of it immediately disappointed these retainers. Coupled with Yoshitaka Ouchi's corrupt performance of chasing Kyoto culture at this time, the rift in the Ouchi family has become bigger and bigger.

The Maori family escaped from this catastrophe, and it seems that all the painstaking arrangements of Masashi have been in vain. Is that really the case? The answer, of course, is no.

First of all, in order to guarantee Yoshitaka Ouchi's trust, Mori Moto had to stay as a hostage in the Inner Pavilion of the Zhou Defense Kuni University (the castle is also known as Tsukiyama Castle. This time, Maori Yuan had to take himself as a hostage. Otherwise, no matter which son is used as a hostage, it will not be able to alleviate the suspicion of the Ouchi family against the Maori family. And he disposed of it as a hostage, as a concubine, as a family governor. It is the best choice that Maori Yuan can think of at this time), so that the Maori family has lost the personal seat of the family as an important pillar. It's pretty good to be able to achieve such an effect.

The loss of the Maori family is equivalent to the loss of the tiger with teeth (although the Maori Yuan can still remotely control the territory of Aki Province in the Ouchikan, but after all, the two places are far apart, and the need to avoid the Ouchi family's surveillance of him at some times must have an impact on the transmission of his orders and the final execution effect), and at this time, as the two arms of the Maori family in the future, Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takaharu have not fully grown up, which naturally makes the Maori family fall into a downturn. Even due to the loss of Yoshikawa Motoharu's left arm, the Maori family wondered if the Mori family would lose a general who could write and martial arts from now on. This had a great impact on the rapid expansion of the Maori family in the future.

Secondly, he lost the personal seat of Maori Yuan, and although Maori Longyuan, as the new governor, was very supported by his retainers, his prestige for ordinary wealthy families and ordinary lords was still limited. This could easily become a breakthrough for the Luo family to secretly make small moves in their territory.

Similarly, due to the effect of previous rumors, even if the Maori family is framed on the surface, people with a little judgment ability will have their own opinions. In fact, this has caused a rift within the Mori family and between the Mori family and the Ouchi family. This is also a potential danger for Māori. As a result of this, the wealthy families who were adjacent to the Maori family strengthened their precautions against the Maori family and prevented the Maori family from using the conspiracy mentioned in the rumors against them, which also increased the resistance to the expansion of the Maori family.

Of the above, Maori Yuan is also knowledgeable. It's just the way to deal with it at the moment. It was already the best solution, and no matter how resourceful he was, he couldn't solve such problems one by one. That's it. The second fight between Masashi and Mori Motoon is over. It's just that they didn't expect that soon, the two of them would fight again. This time, the two almost met.

Just when Masayo took a-for-tat approach to beat the Mori family and the Mori Yuan also saw the move, in the southern region of Kyushu, a major event also occurred that affected the history of the Japanese Kingdom. That was when the first Western missionary ship landed on the territory of the Shimazu family.

The missionary on this ship was named Francis. Xavier, one of the founders of the Society of Jesus, is now the first missionary to set foot on the land of the Japanese kingdom. Francis. It was in the Strait of Malacca that Xavier met a Japanese man named Yakuro, and then arrived in Yakuku's hometown of Satsuma under his leadership after many twists and turns.

According to history, in fact Francis. Xavier's ship must have arrived in Satsuma at the end of last year. But because on the way here, Francis. Xavier planned to go to the Giant Ming Kingdom in the east to try his hand at proselytizing. However, his wish was naturally impossible to come true, and at this time the Ming Kingdom was implementing a retreat and forbidden sea, so Francis. Xavier was driven away without even touching the crack of the door to enter the Ming Kingdom, and if he hadn't been lucky enough to meet a Ming naval army general who knew the Southern Barbarians, they would have even been captured by the Ming Navy Master as Japanese Kou and taken back to ask for merit.

Later, when they stayed in the Ryukyu Islands, they happened to encounter the incident of the Ming pirates who had just reached a cooperation alliance with the Shimazu family some time ago and besieged the Ryukyu Islands in order to find a foothold. They were forced to stay there until the Ming pirates captured the Ryukyu Islands. Later, after some fierce negotiations, they were able to escape, and finally came to the Satsuma country of the Wa Kingdom. Naturally, the arrival time is a little later than the historical record.

"There are ghosts!"

When Francis. After Xavier got off the boat and stepped on the seaside land, almost all the locals saw Francis. The first feeling of the people of Xavier. Taller than the locals, half a body taller, white-faced and curly-haired, or lustful, isn't mom a ghost? The last time a Nanban appeared off the coast of Satsuma was a long time ago, and only the local people of Tanegashima and Fangzu Port had the honor of witnessing the faces of these ghosts. Xavier's dress was very special, which naturally attracted many onlookers.

After learning the news of the arrival of the Nanban, Shimazu Takahisa immediately arranged for someone to go and take charge of the reception. The arrival of the Southern Barbarians often means that there can be iron cannons and other transactions to do. During this time, he was accelerating the expansion of the Shimazu family's iron artillery team. Although he is desperately making iron cannons in his own workshop, the scale has always been limited due to raw materials, techniques and other reasons, so recently, he is also negotiating with those Ming pirates to buy iron cannons, and now there is another Southern Barbarian ship, he is naturally very welcome.
