Chapter 974 Fish and Bear's Paw (2)

The first two reasons are actually summarized in one sentence, that is, to control the Shikoku family in the Shikoku area, use the local environment and surrounding situation to limit the Shikoku family to the Shikoku area, allowing the Luo family to control the Shikoku family.

The last important reason why Masarara decided to transfer the Shimazu family to the Iyu Kingdom was that Yoshida Shigemasa pointed out earlier that Shimazu family had been operating in the Mian Kyushu area for several generations and established a mixed relationship with local forces.

In Masaru's plan, the Kyushu area is the foundation for the development of the Luo family. How can we tolerate such a family in the foundation of the Luo family? Moreover, in history, the Shimazu family was like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard, and at the same time like a irresistible Xiaoqiang, and in history, it allowed the family to survive.

Why did Masayoshi comment on the Shimazu family like this? As we all know, in history, whether it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was at the peak of his life or Tokugawa Ieyasu who took the opportunity to take office after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, they were afraid of the Shimazu family's intricate relationship in the Mikushu area and adopted a pacification policy for the Shimazu family, allowing the Shimazu family to remain in the Mikushu area.

So what is the result? Taking Toyotomi Hideyoshi as an example, he used poisoning to comfort the Shimazu family while using poisoning (Shimazu family Hirohiko and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he suddenly died bizarrely after meeting with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Although many historical bricks and beasts pointed out in later analysis that Toyotomi Hideyoshi poisoning the Shimazu family at this time was actually not good for the Toyotomi family, so it is impossible to believe that the poisoning was said to be poisoned, but in any case, Shimazu family did die after meeting with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and it was not good for Toyotomi in the short term, but in the long run, it was definitely not good). Even the riot launched by Shimazu Yoshiko later was likely to be caused by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's intentional omission. However, Shimazu family was able to survive in Mikushu in the end.

In short, the Shimazu family gave Masara the feeling that it was very tough when necessary (for example, when the world was in full swing, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army had already formed, even Kyushu, the Shimazu family, which had no unified Kyushu, was brave enough to fight Toyotomi Hideyoshi who almost unified the world. Even if they were defeated and surrendered in the future, they would take advantage of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of North Korea and incite resistance and riots when Toyotomi Hideyoshi invade North Korea). But when necessary, it was willing to surrender (submitted to Toyotomi Hideyoshi Tokugawa Ieyasu) and live like a little strongman. In this way, for such a family, how dare Masara let it continue to stay in the Mian Kyushu area?

However, since I am so afraid of the Shimazu family, why not just destroy the Shimazu family? After all, at this time, the Luo family finally trapped the Shimazu family's almost ordinary elites in the valley at the junction of Hinata and Toyogo. As long as these elites of the Shimazu family are destroyed, then they will invest heavily in the territory of the Shimazu family in the south Kyushu Shimazu family and directly and completely deal with the Shimazu family.

But can Shimazu family really be solved so easily? This is obviously impossible.

Even though Masayoshi took this opportunity to siege nearly half of the Shimazu family elites, including Shimazu family's sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-

Even when the Shimazu family was destroyed, they would make a fortune to the Ming pirates in the coastal waters of the South Kyushu by destroying their own foundations, so that the Ming pirates led by Wang Zhi would join the war. After Wang Zhi tore up the agreement with the Luo family and made a move to secretly allow his subordinates to pretend that the Shimazu family soldiers joined the Shimazu family to support the Sakai family's army, his actions were indeed a bit abnormal. He suddenly began to disappear. Not only did he not meet the Shimazu family's envoys for help, nor did he meet the envoys who went to protest.

Originally, Wang Zhi's actions at this time made Masayora feel a little uneasy. If the Shimazu family suddenly offered a heavy profit, it would be hard to estimate Wang Zhi's choice. After all, the reason why these Ming pirates pretended to be pirates on the coast of Ming Dynasty was that all the purpose was only for profit. Even if Wang Zhi finally considered that the Luo family was powerful and was not tempted, Wang Zhi's subordinates would definitely refuse. Although Wang Zhi was the leader, even Wang Zhi might be overthrown by his subordinates when the leader's decision greatly violated the interests of his subordinates.

With the current strength of the Luo family, if they face either Shimazu family and Wang Zhi alone, although they may lose a lot in the end, they will still win. However, if these two families unite together, it would be a bit difficult to say (after all, Wang Zhi has no fixed foundation, if you can't win, you can escape at sea, play guerrilla warfare with the Luo family, attack the coast of the Luo family from time to time, and cooperate with the Shimazu family's counterattack on land...). Even if you win in the end, you will still win miserably.

What kind of situation will this result? In order to destroy the Shimazu family, the Luo family will naturally be greatly delayed by the Shimazu family's desperate resistance and will naturally consume a lot of resources during this period, which will also lead to the Luo family losing the opportunity to gain expansion opportunities in other parts of the Warring States Period. What's more serious is that under the Shimazu family's desperate resistance, the Luo family will also lose a lot of regular and even retainers and generals.

Perhaps for ordinary daimyos, territory, materials, talents, etc. are very important, but for Zhengliang, among these three, the current situation of the Luo family is the most important. With the current strength of the Luo family, it can be re-raised or re-produced, and the lost territory can also be recaptured in the future, but the lost talents are not so easy to obtain, especially those outstanding retainers and generals.

The lost general standing and general retainers can also be supplemented through the education and military training system of the Luo family, but those outstanding retainers and generals cannot do so. After all, they are all in a special environment and have such potential, so they finally grow up. In this regard, Zhengliang is absolutely unable to be cultivated.

Of course. If the Shimazu family still chooses to fight the Luo family to the end, then Masayoshi naturally has to eliminate the Shimazu family, even if a lot of resources and manpower are lost in this process, it will be delayed by a lot of time.

After all, the Luo family needs to expand in the future, so it will naturally be encountered such a situation as the Shimazu family that fights desperately. Even if it is avoided today, it will still happen when fighting with another daimyo tomorrow.

However, as the situation between the Roche family and the Shimazu family was similar, if we could avoid losing a lot of manpower and material resources, obtain the territory of the Shimazu family in the short term, and avoid fierce battles with the Shimazu family, Masara would naturally consider opening the net and let the Shimazu family have a way of life, and this way of life was naturally to transfer the Shimazu family to the Iyu country in the Shikoku region. This was originally a compromise choice for Masara to obtain greater benefits (according to Masara's thoughts at the beginning, it was necessary to completely resolve the Shimazu family).

Of course, even if the Shimazu family really surrendered to the Luo family and the original intention was transferred, the Luo family would inevitably pay a lot of money for this.

First of all, the Shimazu family needs to be willing to transfer the seal. Then it is necessary to make concessions to the Shimazu family. Otherwise, even if the Shimazu family fights desperately, they will never surrender to the Luo family and are willing to transfer the sealed territory.

Regarding how to make concessions, Masara decided to let his retainers negotiate with the Shimazu family below, but the basic bottom line still needs to be determined.

Masara's bottom line is that the Shimazu family must leave the Mitsukushu area and transfer it to the Iyu country of Shikokushu. The territory of the Mitsukushu Shikokushu family must be handed over to the Luo family. The Shimazu family's naval army must be annexed by the Luo family. Even if the Shimazu family's naval army does not surrender to the Luo family, the naval warships must be confiscated by the Luo family. In the future, the Shimazu family can only develop on land in the Shikokushu, but cannot develop naval army. The coast of their territory will be protected by the Luo family's naval army. This is also a way to restrict the Shimazu family.

The above is the bottom line condition for Masara to demand that Shimazu Rescue. Of course, if the retainers of our family can gain more benefits in negotiations with the Shimazu Rescue (such as recruiting some of the retainers of Shimazu Rescue, after all, the ability of many of the retainers under the Shimazu Rescue is indeed very coveted by Masara).

Secondly, even though Shimazu family surrendered to the Luo family and was finally willing to transfer the seal and leave the Mikushu area, the Shimazu family's influence in Mikushu was still not immediately eliminated. For this reason, Masara had prepared several measures to eliminate the local influence of Shimazu family.

First, the migration of local wealthy families, various forces and even ordinary people is already a must-do to the Luo family after occupying a new place, in order to destroy the interest network that has been formed in the local area, so that the Luo family can strongly intervene in the local area and control the local area.

Of course, this kind of migration also requires skill. After fully accepting the territory directly under the Ito, Shimazu family and other Mikuishu, they first appease the forces in the region in advance, and secretly ordered the Intelligence Bureau to conduct a comprehensive investigation of various local forces. They intend to cooperate with the forces of the Luo family, so they will be able to stay. Those forces that do not cooperate or even have a sense of resistance will be blamed for different crimes by the Intelligence Bureau in different regions, and thus will be punished for the reblocking. In order to avoid a regional force uniting to resist, they will be subject to false accusations and reblocking of the reblocking.

At the same time, when dealing with local forces, we also need to be divided into order. First, we attack ordinary local wealthy families, mainly for the transformation of the seal; then we attack more powerful forces, also for the transformation of the seal; finally, we attack local temples and shrines, which are mainly for the annexation and destruction.

Moreover, we adopt a comparison strategy and make every effort to manage the territory directly under the Luo family. When the life of the territorial people in the directly under the territory is better, the local territorial people in the temple will envy them, and then they will naturally support the new laws of the Luo family and reduce the resistance to the implementation of the new laws. Similarly, those small territorial families, temple shrines and other forces who first cooperate with the Luo family will be given better treatment. As a result, when the surrounding forces receive good treatment after cooperating with the implementation of the laws of the Luo family, they will naturally lead to the follow-up of other small territorial families, temple shrines and other forces.

In order to cooperate with this comparison strategy, Zhengliang is also preparing to issue a temporary decree in Nan Kyushu that specifically allows local entourage residents to move freely in various parts of Nan Kyushu. The policy of allowing the movement of the entourage residents is implemented in the territory. As long as they apply for registration, they can move freely, which can promote competition among all parts of the territory. As long as life there will be better, the entourage residents will naturally take the initiative to apply to go there with the support of the laws. In this way, they can confuse the local structure and weaken the local power.

As for the loss of the people, the refugees who continued to pour into the Luo family's territory (the fields and houses left by the people were left will be left behind), which also reflects the political achievements of various forces and provides an excuse for the Luo family to punish these forces. I believe that after learning that some forces were punished by the Luo family such as the transfer of the seal, some local forces will focus more on managing the territory with the assistance of the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet, which to a certain extent separates the local interest groups.

Of course, in terms of immigrants who sneaked into the local area of ​​Nanjiuzhou, in addition to the other powerful refugees who continued to pour in from the Luo Family territory, Zhengliang also prepared to focus on resettling the Ming Dynasty refugees who were searched and rescued from the Ming Dynasty to the Nanjiuzhou area. Because of cultural and language reasons, these newly arrived Ming Dynasty residents naturally could not integrate with the local area in a short time. This would also lead to the incoming new immigrants being unable to become the support of local forces, and instead became a breakthrough for the Luo Family to accelerate the full infiltration of the local area.

Regarding the transfer of local forces and the migration of new immigrants, Zhengliang is preparing to adopt the overall policy to gradually develop (it will be estimated to last at least two or three years), and those who do not cooperate will move, leaving behind cooperation and loyal people. The migrants will also receive more land and better treatment to avoid excessive conflicts.

In addition to this transfer and migration strategy, Masayora was also preparing to establish a new Luo Family Institution in the local area of ​​Satsuma. After all, the Luo Family Territory was mainly concentrated in the central and northern parts of Kyushu and the western parts of Kyushu. Now, if the Southern Kyushu area is captured, the region will suddenly expand southward. The Luo Family Institution in Feiqian Country is obviously unable to timely radiate the influence of related systems such as Luo Family culture, systems and laws to the Southern Kyushu area.

To this end, Zhengliang prepared to establish a Roche Academy branch in the Satsuma region, which would concentrate talents from the southern and central areas of Kyushu for training. At the same time, in this way, the influence of the Roche Family rules began to spread in the local area.

Of course, since it involves the most fundamental interests such as land, there will inevitably be people resisting and conflicts, so this process is accompanied by inevitable blood.

But in fact, this policy had been implemented in the Fenghou Kingdom on a small scale, and there were also a lot of resistance at that time, especially after that, the scope of the Fenghou Kingdom, the Fenghou Kingdom and the temple and shrine forces of half the Chuan Kingdom were in riots. In response, the Luo family not only had experience in dealing with this, but also under the instructions of Masayoro, the Military Pavilion, the Internal Affairs Pavilion, the Intelligence Pavilion and other institutions would also be prepared.

After all, Zhengliang's above strategy was actually to destroy everything in the Nanjiuzhou area, and then the Luo family paid and worked hard to rebuild the Nanjiuzhou area.

Zhengliang believes that as long as he persists, as time goes by and the implementation of the Luo family's laws (for example, the military force that includes the Knife Order of the local forces will be disbanded, and the local lords can only have the guarding forces under the regulations, and resistance will be immediately destroyed). The Southern Kyushu area will surely be connected with the central and northern Kyushu areas. In this way, Kyushu will become the base for the Luo family to expand outward in the future and become the real foundation of the Luo family.
