Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Otomo Yizhen died an ignominious death. He did not die gloriously on the battlefield, but died painfully on the hospital bed, tossing and turning, which made Zheng Heng really feel speechless.  When Zhengheng learned about the death of Otomo Yizhen, it was already September 16th. Otomo Yizhen had been dead for three days. The Fuuchi Castle, which was as permeable as a sieve, only hid it from his own retainers. On the contrary, it was Zhengheng who knew about Otomo.  The real situation in Yizhen is such a sad thing.

    People have conflicts due to desires, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Even if the distinction is clear, it is meaningless.  Both parties are responsible and worthy of sympathy.  There is no direct conflict or hatred between Zhengheng and Otomo Yizhen. The fight between the two sides is just selfishness. Both of them are driven by their own selfish desires and greed. However, in Zhengheng's eyes, Otomo Yizhen has become the one who unifies the world.  Obstacles must be removed for the sake of justice.

    Now that Otomo Yizhen has died prematurely, he died in pain before he and Zheng Heng actually came face to face. The king faced the king, which really made Zheng Heng feel sad.  According to common sense, it is natural to kill them all and eradicate the roots.

    However, Zhengheng obviously no longer has the desire in this regard. He knows that Otomo Yizhen's death, coupled with the fact that Huji Mizuki defeated the Otomo family's remaining courage, the Otomo family has withdrawn from the struggle for hegemony.

    At this point, the strength of the Dayou family is simply unable to compete with the political balance.

    It is easy to deal with people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who surrender on their knees.  But those true warriors who are not afraid of life and death and follow the samurai spirit as their virtue are different. The Otomo family also has some loyal retainers.

    After Zhengheng patrolled for several times, he looked up at the sky and said, "Kanbei, Mrs. Naido seems to have decided to surrender." Even the death of Otomo Yoshizumi was clearly known, and some clues about the secret conversation between Naido and his daughter had leaked out.

    Kuroda Kanbei responded: "Yes, judging from her actions, she did not want to let Otomo's retainers in the outer city know the sad news of Otomo Yoshizumi's death. Instead, she secretly communicated with her father. I think that she  Now I am in a trance, as long as I agree to her request, the city inside the mansion will be destroyed."

    Zhengheng didn¡¯t say much, he paused for a moment and said, ¡°Do you want to stay or not?¡±

    Kuroda Kanbei is a very smart person, so he naturally knows who Masahiro is talking about, the only son of Otomo Yoshizhen.

    There are pros and cons to keeping it or not. If you keep it, it will naturally become a flag for those who are loyal to the Dayou family. If you don't keep it, it will be eradicated. However, it may take a long time to completely conquer the hearts of the remaining ministers of the Dayou family.

    Kuroda Kanbei pondered for a moment and said: "Master, I think it's better to stay! In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the failure of the Otomo family is just around the corner, but no one said it, as long as they are given a step, they will automatically come down. Even if they stay  You can monitor it all the time."

    Zheng Heng was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have no personal grudges with Duke Yizhen. They are all motivated by justice. People in the world are looking forward to a stable life. Unifying the world is the greatest justice. This way, we must not harm our family. Duke Yizhen died of illness.  , His children are young and ignorant, and are at the age of schooling. They can be entrusted to the public to learn literature and songs. When they grow up, there will be one more literate person in the world."

    Kuroda Kanbei's heart trembled, and he responded: "Yes, my lord, I can go to the inner city."

    Zhengheng shook his head and said: "I will leave this matter to them. However, you were also present when Omura Juntada came to visit the day before yesterday. You know that the Chichidan matter is of great importance. Now Chichidan leader Father Torres has sent An  When Priest Dry comes, you should meet with him first to see what their purpose is."

    After pausing for a while, Zheng Heng said again: "The appearance of the Southern Barbarians is very different from ours. It is said that they come from distant countries. These people are arriving in the East in a steady stream. There are naturally many sea maps and maps. If  Being able to learn about the situation outside Japan from their mouths is a valuable asset. To explore overseas, you need strong ships, clear charts, and elites who have the courage to explore. Now, big ships, artillery, charts, and elites  It all needs to be cultivated, and this is a long-term project that will be your responsibility in the future.¡±

    There are rumors in the army, and the most significant rumor is that Zhengheng's personal expedition to Kyushu is not just for the small Otomo family, but to set his sights on the Eastern Continent. Zhengheng knows that Kuroda Kanbei is among them.  effect.  However, Zhengheng also knew that Kuroda Kanbei played a role in fueling the flames. The young retainers hoped to expand their territory and win greater military exploits. Once the war in Japan stopped, they would obviously not stop.  , seizing North Korea, and using North Korea as a bridgehead to expedition to the mainland will naturally be put on the agenda.

    Especially now that the mainland is full of smoke and wars are happening one after another, as long as the Japanese careerists incite it a little bit, huge waves will form, and anyone who dares to stop them will be swept away.  What's more, the Date family is a young family. The governor of the family, Masahiro, is only thirty years old, and his retainers are all in their thirties.For people with strong sexual energy, if they don't vent it out, they will keep it inside, not externally, but internally.

    If you vent your anger to the mainland, you will eventually be harmonized by the God of Harmony. Then the only feasible way is to go south, go retrograde on the path of the Southern Barbarians, and implement "Asia belongs to Asians, and Asia works for Asia" to the end.

    Kuroda Kanbei¡¯s eyes lit up after hearing Masahiro¡¯s order.

    In fact, for him, the most important thing is to be loyal to the Date family. In his opinion, once the Japanese country is unified, if the resentment accumulated over the past hundred years is not vented, the Date family, which has just unified the Japanese country, will fall apart again.  Knowing that this is a double-edged sword, it can expand territory to vent resentment, and it can also hurt oneself. Once out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.  As long as the expected goals are achieved and large tracts of land are captured, the Date family and the political leaders who lead all this will have great prestige. Anyone who wants to overthrow their rule will be an enemy of the vested interests of expanding the territory.  , in this way, the Date family's rule over Japan will become well-deserved and be able to continue its legacy for hundreds of years.  However, if it fails, all previous efforts will be wasted. Both the Date family and Zhengheng will be footed by this catastrophe, and the originally unified situation will fall apart. Returning to the Warring States Period, Zhengheng, his family and children may even be killed by careerists.  Kill them all.

    This is a question of "degree", and this "degree" is too difficult to grasp.

    The God of Harmony is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Zhengheng can only turn around and spread his thoughts through the mouth of Kuroda Kanbei.  Although Zhengheng's idea was good, there were people in the Ming Dynasty who cared about him.
