    The unintentional words of superiors are often interpreted by many people. Some people can interpret the thoughts of superiors very well, but most of them are over-interpreted, and the interpreters are often complacent.

    If these interpreters have the authority, then they will regard their interpretation as the only answer and publicize it widely.

    Kuroda Kanbei has always thought highly of himself and considered himself one of the most intelligent people in the world. Now that he hears Masahira's unintentional words and thinks of Masahira's recent unusual behavior, it all indicates that there is a huge plan being implemented.

    Originally, Kuroda Kanbei thought that Masahiro's personal expedition to Kyushu was to capture all the land in Kyushu. Now it seems that it is just a premise of a big plan. The bigger plan has been quietly played in casual chess.  form.

    When Kuroda Kanbei turned his attention to the Shimadzu family, he immediately thought of Tanegashima Tokiyao who was far away in Tanegashima, the lucky man who played an important role in "The Coming of the Iron Cannon".

    But now that I think about it, there are a lot of tricks in it.

    Who is Wufeng, the translator of the Ming Dynasty? He is the pirate king galloping on the East China Sea.  Tanegashima Tokiyao, a precarious lord of a small domain who was only sixteen years old, had a huge difference in status between the two.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Tanegashima Tokiyao was a retainer of the Shimazu family, and the Shimazu family was the first force to use iron cannons on the battlefield. It would be unjustifiable to say that the Shimazu family was not involved in this matter.

    It is more likely that Tanegashima Tokiyao was just a background board brought to the front of the curtain by the Shimadzu family. The Shimadzu family, like the Hirado Matsuura family, had colluded with the Goho Japanese pirate group long ago, but the Hirado Matsuura family did it.  It's just more obvious.

    ?? If it is said that the Shimadzu family and the Wufeng Japanese pirate group have been colluding together for a long time, it should be said that the Shimadzu family is also the collaborator of the Wufeng Japanese pirate group in the Kyushu area, then it makes sense.

    When Zhengheng arrived in Kyushu, he shouted for fights and killings. He was only friendly to two families, the Hirado Matsuura family and the Satsuma Shimazu family, because they were both related to the Wufeng Japanese pirate group, which reminded him of Zhengheng's intentions.  It's already very obvious.

    However, there are some differences in the way Masahiro treats the Matsuura family of Hirado and the Shimazu family of Satsuma. After sending Katayama Hironaga to attack the Arima clan, he slowly marched towards Hirado Port in order to defeat Matsuura Takanobu, who had a deeper collusion with the Goho Japanese pirate group.  , and the Shimadzu family, whose relationship is more secretive, adopted the method of asking the Shimadzu family to send their second son as a hostage.

    After Kuroda Kanbei thought of the Hirado Matsuura family and the Satsuma Shimazu family, he immediately began to guess Zhengheng's attitude towards the Wufeng Japanese pirate group. Yes, no master of the Japanese country could bypass the Wufeng Japanese pirates running rampant in the East China Sea.  group.

    Now, although the Wufeng captain Wang Zhi has been beheaded by the Ming Dynasty, which has caused the Wufeng Japanese pirate group to invade the Ming Dynasty on a large scale and its control over the East China Sea has been greatly reduced, its influence is still huge.

    Historically, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to power, the Wufeng Japanese pirate group had been wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirate power on the East China Sea was in great decline, and the Zheng family group had not yet risen.

    The banner of the Wufeng Japanese pirate group is still very loud in the East China Sea now, because the Wufeng captain Wang Zhi has a good godson. This godson is now king and hegemon in Nanjing City. Who knows whether he will be the next dynasty.  Founding monarch?

    After Kuroda Kanbei thought of the Wufeng Japanese pirate group, he immediately began to weigh the relationship between the two parties and the possible significant impact on the current situation and the political interests pursued by Zhengheng.  If these influences are adverse and bad, it means that it is very unfavorable for the Date family to forge ahead.  Because at sea, the Date family is not the strongest.

    Once the two sides conflict, it will be very unfavorable for the Date family. Once the naval battle fails and they are severely damaged by the other party, the consequences will be unimaginable. The violent storm will swallow them up completely.

    Kuroda Kanbei's thoughts flashed, and he thought he had guessed why Masahiro would personally take charge of Kyushu but not stay in Kokura Castle. Masahira was guessing the bottom line of both parties and the future relationship. He made one wrong step and one step ahead.  Leading every step of the way.  How to play this big chess game that is related to the future development of the Date family in order to obtain the maximum benefit and benefit the Date family is really a test of a person's courage and courage. Otherwise, he would have been scared to advance or retreat.  Lost ground.

    Kuroda Kanbei raised his eyes and looked at Masahiro. He thought very highly of himself. Although he was respectful and humble to Masahiro on the surface, in his heart he often put himself in Masahira's position and believed that he could do no worse than Masahira.  .  But now it seems that he is the biggest fool in the world. He thinks that he has seen through the future of the Date family and the Japanese country and can only expand outwards and enterprising, but he doesn't knowWhat to do, the more I think about it, the worse it becomes.

    Kuroda Kanbei quickly calmed down. He knew in his heart that this was why he was a minister and Masahiro was a king. However, the uneasy look in his eyes showed that he had not yet adjusted from the shock just now. He hesitated for a moment.  Just now he asked: "My lord, do you think the Shimazu family will play a greater role?"

    Masahira glanced at Kuroda Kanbei and felt a little strange, but he did not ask, he just took out a copy of the memorials from the pile on the desk and said: "First look at how to maintain an army of 200,000 people.  The money and food needed.¡±

    Kuroda Kanbei took the memorial and read it carefully. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Yes, I have read it."

    Zhengheng said solemnly: "What do you think?"

    Kuroda Kanbei paused for a while, then thought of Zhengheng's big game, and then compared it with money and food.  If we say that conquering Kyushu from Honshu Island requires spending a huge amount of money and food, and the taxes from the first year of Tianzheng to the third and second years of Tianzheng were reduced by more than half, then it would be a waste to expand the territory and maintain an army of 200,000.  If it rises by 20%, the Japanese country's equivalent power may be exhausted within a few years.

    Fighting to support war is just talk. On the battlefield, it is just common sense to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. The two sides fight on the battlefield and will soon consume all the wealth and food on the battlefield.

    Only a quick war is the best policy. Only lunatics who have lost their minds will think that a national war that determines the fate of the country will be resolved quickly. Once it evolves into a protracted war, it will be torture for both sides.

    Kuroda Kanbei was speechless and asked: "What do you think, my lord?"

    Zhengheng was silent for a moment and said faintly: "The population and territory of the Japanese country are so large. It is already very difficult to maintain a standing army of 200,000. Maintaining rule while taking into account pioneering and enterprising. Choosing an opponent has become a science. Think about it.  Answer me again?"
