    However, with Kuroda Kanbei's retirement, Masahira was not happy because of the language advantage. The expectation in his heart had gradually dissipated, and the memory of his previous life was slowly buried deep. Occasionally, he remembered it like a meteor passing by.  The sky left only a touch of sadness and a little melancholy.

    However, Ijuin Taday¨­'s visit today opened up his dusty memories, and he couldn't help but think of the knot between China and Japan. If the Shimadzu family was really allowed to run wild, would it be possible?  It really caught the attention of the great gods.

    Zhengheng took a deep breath and knew that if he gave up the westward policy and advocated the southward strategy, the Ryukyu Islands would not be able to be bypassed, and even Taiwan Island would be difficult to bypass. This was what made him feel sad and melancholy.

    Once today¡¯s conversation spreads, the knowledgeable people among the Japanese will definitely applaud Zhengheng¡¯s strategy.  Zheng Heng is not only a strategist, he is also far-sighted. Others can only take one step at a time, but he has already focused on the future for more than ten years.

    However, Zhengheng's own mood was very low. He felt deeply sad and even more helpless.  At present, the internal public sentiment in Japan is aroused. He is opposed to Japan's foreign expansion policy, but no one except him knows his difficulties. They all believe that foreign war is the only way for Japan to shift its internal conflicts.  Even Zhengheng could not give any eloquent reason to oppose this shocking wave. This was one of the reasons why Zhengheng personally conquered Kyushu and stayed in Kokura Castle.

    Obviously, Zhengheng's decision to personally conquer Kyushu and stay in Kokura Castle has once again been over-interpreted in the eyes of many people. The most common interpretation is that Zhengheng needs to establish an effective system in Kyushu, and then use Kyushu as a bridgehead to the outside world.  Wage war.

    Such interpretations abound, and even many enemies know what the Date family¡¯s next strategic goal is?  They all tried their best to redeem the Date family's hostile attitude towards them. This was the biggest reason why Matsuura Takanobu and Shimazu Takahisa delayed coming.

    ??Zheng Heng knew that once the general trend of foreign war was formed, even if he could use his authority to stop it, it would be difficult to stop the rolling momentum of the general trend. Moreover, even he could not use common methods to smooth out the inertial thinking formed by a century of turmoil.

    Rather than talking about the inertial thinking formed since the Onin Rebellion, it is better to say that since the shogun usurped the emperor and became the real ruler of the Japanese country, all aspects of the political, economic, cultural and educational life of the entire Japanese country have served the Japanese nation.  Maintain the ideological and political system of the shogunate.  After entering the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, it became even more cruel. Countless people were involved in this power game that was originally the ruling class, and they died crazy for it.

    Getting rid of the previous system of integrating soldiers and peasants and switching to the method of hiring professional soldiers in cash to fight for them. This is the fundamental reason for the rise of political balance. This kind of gradual transformation from the system of the alliance of the people and local tyrants among the princes to a centralized and authoritarian military regime is beneficial to everyone.  Disadvantages.

    The advantage is that they can organize a well-organized samurai army. Based on this, they use various new weapons and play a decisive role in the hegemony of the Date family. It is their succession that makes the political balance sit on the throne.  With the high position of Taizheng Minister, the Date family's political power was also born in the flames of war.

    Of course, every advantage has its disadvantages. The Date family promoted a large number of civilians, businessmen, and workers to become samurai, which made the already very tense land resource issue even more tense. As the unification of the world approached, Masahira encountered the same situation as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.  The problem.

    The existing land is not enough to reward the samurai class with outstanding military exploits. Of course, the problems encountered by Zhengheng are much better than those of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi's regime was originally a castle built on the beach, which was very unstable.  .

    The strategy adopted by Zhenghei after he started his career was completely different from that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was more about appeasement, and using war means was always the last resort. But Zhenghei was different. He often put war means at the forefront, which made Iraq  The land that the Tatsu family can distribute is much richer than that of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.  Even so, due to the creation of a quasi-samurai class police system and militia system by the government, the ruling class that is superior to the civilian class has become larger. This allows the Date family to be able to maintain it in the short term. Once time goes on, there may be no need for foreign wars.  , you will collapse.

    Without a sufficient financial foundation, it will always be a contract built on the beach. Just one wave can make it collapse.

    Historically, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who consumed too much financial and material resources. This was one of the main reasons why Tokugawa Ieyasu replaced him in the future. Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to establish the Edo shogunate to sequester the country without launching large-scale unrest. More importantly,  The reason is that the Battle of Bunroku Keicho destroyed a generation of people trained during the Warring States Period and shattered their spirits.  This situation lasted until the Sino-Japanese War defeated the weak and incompetent Mite government and rose again.

    The difficulties encountered by Toyotomi Hideyoshi forced him to embark on the path of external expansion.Zhang and the road to plunder resources.  Although the Battle of Bunroku Keicho exhausted the financial and material resources of the Toyotomi regime and caused the Toyotomi regime to collapse quickly, when you scold him, you have to admire him. From a peasant, he was able to overcome many difficulties and dangers and achieve great things.  , is really capable.

    Now Masahira feels this way, and he is not immune to the problems Toyotomi Hideyoshi encountered.

    Is it really necessary to launch a war that will inevitably lead to the destruction of this time and space?  Zheng Heng asked himself that it was difficult for him to make a choice. Yes, if his head was determined by his butt, he should have no scruples, but according to the true intention of the time traveler, he could only shrink his hands.

    Even in order to continue to exist, self-restraint is the best and only answer.

    Of course, in order to resolve the crisis, Zheng Heng was not a big politician before time travel, but just a keyboard politician who stayed at home. His experience after time travel could not cultivate a higher political consciousness, and it was difficult to figure out how to resolve the crisis before him.  Difficulties.

    Replacing another war with one war is the only way Zhengheng can think of. Choosing an opponent whose size and strength is worse than that of Japan to fight a war with a high winning rate is the best and only way Zhengheng can think of.

    However, the geography of Japan makes the opponents that Zheng Heng can choose very limited.  No matter which expansion path he takes, he cannot bypass the land blessed by the great god. Zheng Heng sees a deep crisis in it. He actively goes south. His purpose is nothing more than hoping to avoid the great god. After all, in comparison, going south is better than coming in from the west.  many.

    " Could it be that now is the age of cold weapons, the era when sailing ships are king? Even if you go south, it may be difficult to avoid the great god. This is the reason why Zheng Heng feels sad and melancholy.

    While the government was weighing the pros and cons, Matsuura Takanobu self-righteously restarted the road to rejuvenation of Baekje.
