Chapter 1090 The Way of Shangluo
Recently, the good news sent back is indeed constantly.
First of all, the situation of Yamamoto Kazusuke and his second son Nobura, who were sent back from Tokaido half a month ago. They once again defeated the coalition forces of the Suruga Imakawa family and the Hojo family, and even captured the governor of the Suruga Imakawa family alive. This was a big victory.
The only regret is that because Hojo Tsunari organized the defensive army to defend the Suruga Kingdom in time, Yamamoto Kamsuke and others were unable to take the opportunity to enter the Suruga Kingdom, thus achieving greater results.
However, in any case, with this great victory, Yamamoto Kazusuke and his second son Nobura and others have completely gained a foothold in Tokaido. In the future, the support from the Ro family's own family will gradually be reduced, thereby reducing the burden on the family.
Moreover, due to the lack of Yamamoto Kazusuke, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family's fourth battle on Kawaakashima were evenly matched. The two families were still in a confrontation until Yamamoto Kazusuke sent information to him. As a result, the Suruga Imakawa family was completely unable to ask for support from the Takeda family, an ally, and the Takeda family did not have more energy to covet the Toho country and the Mikawa country areas for the time being.
As for the Hojo family, although Tsunario Hojo destroyed the plan of the Ro family to enter the Suruga Kingdom by taking the opportunity, the Hojo family was fighting on both sides at this time. On the one hand, it helped the Suruga Imakawa family to guard against Yamamoto Kamsuke and others, and on the other hand, it had to regain the territory captured by the Kanto Alliance some time ago and continue to expand the territory of the Hojo family in the Kanto region. In this way, as long as the Ro family wins and incites in Kanto, it will naturally cause a lot of trouble for the Hojo family.
If the Hojo Ichiyasu had to summon Hojo Tsuna back to the Hojo family, then Yamamoto Kansuke and others would have the opportunity to invade the Suruga Imakawa family. You know, in just two years, three consecutive defeats (one was the miserable defeat of Imakawa Yoshimoto Kansuke and Roche Nobura and others), the strength and foundation of the Suruga Imakawa family have been greatly reduced. Now, when the Takeda family has not had time to withdraw (in Masara's opinion, Takeda Shingen is not a person who cares about credit and righteousness. After seeing the decline of the Suruga Imakawa family and also has energy, Takeda Shingen will definitely destroy the Imakawa family like in history. He tore up the alliance with the Suruga Imakawa family and then intervene in the dispute between Tokaido). It is the best time to invade or even annex the Suruga Imakawa family.
What made Masara even happier was that from the information sent back by Yamamoto Kanasuke, Masara learned that Takahashi Shaoyun had entered the Kanto area with the goal of restraining the Hojo family, and probably could have done some shocking things.
In addition to the good news from the East China Sea area (although Luo's Masajong and others in the Hokkien area have also reached their goal and have begun to be deployed in the Hokkien area according to Masayoshi's previous arrangement, due to the distance, the intelligence cabinet's information about the Hokkien area is still being sent back to the Luoki family's own journey), two good news has also been heard from the Siguo area.
First, with the help of the Ichi family as an intermediary, the Nagazomoto family also became an ally of the Luo family with the same status as the Ichi family in the Luo family; second, under the continuous attacks between the Shimazu family and the Situ Temple family. The Utsumiya family, the Kono family, and the Ono family in the Ichi country respectively announced their surrender and surrendered to the Luo family. Considering the feudal relationship between the Utsumiya family and the Situ Temple family (the only biological son of the Nichi Temple, Shitu Temple family, died at the hands of the Utsumiya family), Masayoshi general Utsumiya family was transferred to the Feihou Kingdom, and the Utsumiya family's territory in the Shikoku region became the direct territory of the Luo family.
This territory of the Utsunomiya family is located in the coastal area where the intersection of Utsunomiya Bay and Iyutan in the North Iyutan. After the Luo family took control of this place, on the one hand, it can strengthen the control and surveillance of the seas between Kyushu and Shikoku. On the other hand, since this territory is also located on land between the territories of the Nishituji family, the Ono family and the Kono family, it can be used as a transitional zone to alleviate the conflicts between these three parties, and it can also be a good location to monitor these three parties.
As for the Shimazu family, after the re-enforcement of the northern Iyu country region in the past two years, the Shimazu family had almost occupied nearly half of the territory belonging to the Kono family, and it can be said that it had occupied nearly one-quarter of the Iyu country land in the territory. In addition, because its territory borders the Hoki country and the Abo country controlled by the Tosa and the Miyo family, it was also trapped in entanglement with the forces in these areas, and to a certain extent, Masayoshi's original purpose of restricting the development of the Shimazu family.
Finally, in addition to the good news from Tokaido and Shikoku, the Luoshi Academy Branch in the Minami Kyushu area finally began to recruit new students at the beginning of this year.
This move indicates that the Luo family's control over Nanjiuzhou has been completely settled, and Nanjiuzhou will gradually become one of the foundations for the future development of the Luo family. As the influence of the Luo family in the local area expands, it will be more closely linked with the Luo family, and gradually accept the culture and laws of the Luo family, and finally completely integrate into the Luo family's ruling system.
With the arrival of these good news, it indicates that the Luo family's rest and rest and external layout have achieved great success in the past two years. Therefore, the Shangluo incident, which had already made a conclusion and secret layout, was finally secretly started.
In the past two years, the Luo family members have been constantly planning for the Luo family's great cause of going to Luo family in the past two years, following the plan discussed by Zhengliang and his retainers, and on the other hand, they are also discussing the final path of going to Luo family in the past two years.
In general, there are two main ways to go to Luo family.
The first one looks the most convenient road, then take the waterway. There are two waterways to choose from here. One is to start directly from the Seto Inland Sea, pass through the Awaji Waterway, go ashore in the Setsu Kingdom or Waizumi Kingdom, and then gradually head to Kyoto; the other is to start from the Toyogo Waterway, pass through Tosa Bay and Kii Waterway, and then also go ashore in the Setsu Kingdom or Waizumi Kingdom, and then gradually head to Kyoto.
Walking these two waterways will collide with many pirate forces and the naval forces of the Sanhao family on the way, and even if you can finally get ashore in the country of Shejin or Hequan, you will encounter many difficulties.
In terms of Izumi Country, it is a country facing the Five Kichi-Nei facing Osaka Bay. To the north is the Sezu country, and to the south is bordered by Hanoi and Kii through the Hoizu Mountain Range. Osaka Bay is connected to the Seto Inland Sea through the Akashi Strait and is at the key point of the Kitan Strait. At the same time, Sakai Port in the north has been a central area for trade with the Ming Kingdom since the Muromachi era, so it has become Sakai Port, the largest trading port in the Warring States. In the current Sakai Port, thirty-six merchants have organized a collaborative system of "Saikai 36 people to gather", making the place an autonomous port. In addition to Sakai Port, the Miyoga family and the Tayyama family are all famous names with powerful local power.
Therefore, the Luo family plans to go to Kyoto after landing in with the Izumi Kingdom, so they need to obtain permission from these forces, otherwise they can only fall into the siege of the local forces led by the Mihao family.
As for the Setsu Kingdom, it is located on the west side of the Kinagan, and the Tamba country in the north of the Tamba country in the north of the Rokka Mountain; the Kazuma country in the north of the Rokka Mountain; the Yama Castle country in the Kyoto Basin to the northeast; the plains in the south of the south are Hanoi country; the south is connected to the Izumi country through Sakai Port; the sea opposite the Osaka Bay is Awaji country. The north side of the land is the mountain country, and the south is the plain country. The south is Osaka Bay at the eastern end of the Seto Inland Sea. It has been called Nambazu since ancient times, and it is a highly valued maritime transportation critical point. Such an important strategic location, and at this time it is controlled by the Miyo Family. If the Roh Family wants to land here and go to Kyoto, then naturally, it must be controlled by Kyoto at this time and does not want other forces to fight against the Miyo Family, which is snatching its power.
Therefore, as long as the Luo family is on the waterway, it will inevitably collide with the Sanhao family. Judging from the control of the Sanhao family in Kyoto at this time, it will inevitably not allow the Luo family to succeed. Therefore, a war between the two sides will inevitably break out, and first of all, a large-scale water war between the two.
With the current power of the Luo Family Navy, if it is in the offshore area, the Luo Family should have more strength. However, after all, these two waterways will involve offshore waters, and the Sanhao Family Navy can also obtain logistical support from the coastal areas at any time. Therefore, the Luo Family Navy can only be evenly matched with the Sanhao Family Navy in these two waterways.
Even if the Luo family naval army won in the end, as long as the Luo family's Shangluo team landed on land, they still had to fight with the Sanhao family on land. In this process, since there was no foundation in the local area, they needed to obtain logistics support from the distant Jiuzhou area through waterways, which would inevitably affect the combat power of the Luo family's Shangluo army. Therefore, choosing to walk these two waterways will inevitably start a war with the Sanhao family that has been unpredictable for a long time and unpredictable outcome. This is not advisable.
Since the waterway is not advisable, you can only walk on the landway.
The Ludao also has two roads. One is to start from the Shikoku region and directly occupy the Hokki country and Awa country, which are located in the Shikoku region. Then, then enter the Setsu country through the Awaji country and finally arrive in the Kyoto region.
Taking this road path also requires fighting the Miyo family, which is just as strong as the Miyo family at this time. Moreover, when fighting with the Miyo family, allies behind the Luo family are Shimazu family, Kono family, Nishituji family, Ichi family, and Nagatozo family.
Although these allies are trustworthy for the time being, in this Warring States Period when father, son, brother and brother will meet for the sake of profit, Zhengliang never dared to hand over his back to these so-called allies, so it is also unsafe to follow this road.
