Kyushu Island, thick white smoke emanates from Asu Mountain in the center of the island.

Originated from the administrative division of the Japanese emperor's implementation of the ordination states, the island has established nine ordination states (Kuchiqian, Kazuki, Hachiqian, Hachiqian, Tsuki, Tsuki, Tsuki, Hinata, Osuki, Osuki

, Satsuma State), so he was named "Nine Provinces".

Although it is claimed to be the "Nine Kingdoms", its area is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty Qiongzhou Prefecture, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's prefecture. The Kyushu Study is the Kyushu governing authority set up by the Muromachi Shogunate, and the next level is the protection of the Lingjian State.

However, the Japanese Emperor has long been in name only, and these countries are ineffective in their organization. The small Kyushu Island is like a pile of sand, and the various places are divided into different places.

As the temperature on the island gradually becomes colder, various forces are also sticking to their territory, resolutely wanting to wait until next spring when flowers bloom before fighting.

As the saying goes, "The poor mountains and rivers are bad, and this small place cannot be underestimated. The Mongolian army once twice fought against Japan and was defeated in Kitakyushu.

When Hai Batian led the joint fleet to carry out an island trip, Li Guozhi was not idle and stepped up the maritime trade between the joint business groups and various Japanese forces.

The Ming Dynasty has actually been in friendly trade with Japan. The former owner of Wufeng ship was the largest middleman in trade between the two countries, and the Portuguese also inserted one foot, which made many Japanese forces welcome maritime merchants.

.

Nowadays, the "Xiangshan to Japan" route in Portugal has been ordered to stop, and the smuggling gangs in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Southern Zhili have been incorporated or destroyed. In addition, the trade between Asahijan and Japan has also been interrupted, resulting in the joint business group almost monopolizing the Japanese.

maritime trade.

That's why the United Business Group has also made frequent moves and has become a guest of honor for many forces.

Kyushu Island is a raised island in the middle, with mostly mountainous hills. Feiqian Kingdom is located on the northwest of the island, with a relatively flat terrain and many places are suitable for planting crops.

In this farming era, land that can be engaged in production is valuable land, so Qianfei is already considered a high-quality territory in the entire Kyushu Island.

Time has quietly come to mid-November. A heavy snow spread the earth with a thick layer of white snow, and a squeaking sound made when stepping on the snow.

The group came to a large Japanese-style mansion, where the doorstep was tightly guarded.

"I, Ryuzaoji Takanobu, welcome President Li!" Ryuzaoji Takanobu met at the door of his own and greeted Li Guozhi warmly.

Li Guozhi was wearing a sable coat, looking like a noble young man, and his eyes were full of wisdom, but he responded with a smile: "Guardian sir, long-term reverence!"

This Ryuzoji Takanobu is now a young man and is far from being called "Haimai Bear". He cannot be called "Kyushu Sanhe" with Toyo Oto and Satsumashimazu. He is only one of Hinamai Country.

Just a lord.

The Ryuzaoji family originated from a tributary of Takagijun, a close minister who managed the local officials in Feiqian and a tributary of Beifeng City, Gannan.

In 1186, the Minamijiro Ji family of Takagi family served as the head of Ryuzoji Village in Ozu Togo, Saga County, Himemaki. This clan changed his surname to Ryuzoji. At the end of Muromachi, the Ryuzoji family was split into the direct stream of Ryuzoji family.

There are two parts: Ryuzao Temple in the village and Ryuzao Temple in the Mizui Ryuzao Temple, which is also a member of the Shuri Ryuzao Temple.

In 1529, Ryuzoji Takanobu was born in Saka Castle, the capital of the Faemaki Kingdom. He was the legitimate son of the Zhou family of Ryuzoji Shuijiang.

In 1545, Ryuzoji Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi Takanomi

Zhuhouguo defected to Puchi family.

In 1546, with the help of Kinsheng Puchi, the Ryuzaoji family raised troops to kill Lai Zhou, the Ryuzaoji family was revived. The Ryuzaoji family was inherited and belonged to the Ryuzaoji family, the Ryuzaoji family, and the Ryuzaoji Moto family was named.

In 1548, Ryuzoji Yinei died, and the Ryuzoji Moto family was extinct? Ryuzoji Takanobu married Yinei and inherited the family. Backed by the most powerful daimyo, Ouchi Yoshitaka, the West Kingdom, as its backing? Takanobu successfully suppressed his retainers.

be opposed to.

In 1551, Yoshitaka Ouchi was killed by his retainer Tao Qingxian. Eiki Tohashi, the important minister of the Ryuzoji family, took the opportunity to raise the matter and joined forces with the Himemaki people from his relatives and friends to besiege the Ryuzoji Takanobu and support the Ryuzoji Supervisor. Takanobu was forced to

Escape to the Jihou Kingdom? Requesting the support of the Lord of Yanagawa Castle, Pu Chi Jiansheng.

In 1553, under the escort of Puchi Army, Ryuzoji Takanobu successfully returned to Himeqian and exiled Ryuzoji Supervisor, establishing absolute control over Ryuzoji's family.

In 1559, Ryuzaoji Takanoshi attacked Shao Er family and forced Shao Erdong to commit suicide in Shifuji Temple Castle. Shao Er family was destroyed.

In 1560, Ryuzoji Takanobu conquered Chiba Yinlai, and two years later, the dominance of Dongkaiqian was determined.

In 1563, the rapid expansion of Ryuzoji Takanobu's power caused panic among the people of neighboring countries. The Akima family joined forces with the Omura family to attack Higashiqian, and Ryuzoji Takanobu and Chiba family to defeat the coalition forces.

That's why Ryuzoji Takanobu, who was only 34 years old, was the head of the Ryuzoji family. He occupied a large area of ​​territory in Dongkaiqian and had become an emerging force on Kyushu Island.

But even Cao Cao, a hero of a generation, is also facing various troubles.

Although there has been no major war in the past two years, he has been constantly in conflict with the countries near the leader, and the Otomo family, who is in charge, has been eyeing Tokimaki, which makes Takanobu Ryuzoji unaware of the taste.

He can mobilize only 3,000 troops now. Once a strong battle strikes again, he may have gone away due to defeat.

It was with the help of his allies that he made a comeback and thus regained his former territory. Ryuzoji Takanobu was deeply aware of the importance of the alliance, so he welcomed Li Guozhi and his party.

On the tatami, both sides sat cross-legged, and a plump Japanese woman made tea for both sides.

Li Guozhi grew up in Beijing since childhood. Although he had heard of Japanese people, he had never seen Japanese women. Now, when he saw the Japanese young woman's face covered with thick white powder, he couldn't help but look at it strangely.

One glance.

Seeing this, Ryuzoji Takanobu immediately showed an ambiguous smile like a man, and then gave a wink to the retainer next to him. The retainer nodded in understanding, but felt regret and heartache.

"Haha... President Li, how do you think this tea tastes?" Ryuzoji Takanobu asked with a smile.

Li Guozhi, a veteran in business, responded calmly: "This tea is very good, the lips and teeth are fragrant. Thank you for your help!"

"Haha... President Li, be polite! I heard that you also trade rice and grain, but I didn't know that it was like this?" Ryuzoji Takanobu was a straightforward person, and he asked straight to the point.

In history, whether it was the smuggled Southeastern maritime merchants or later Portuguese merchants, they mainly traded goods with silk, ceramics and iron, and grain was usually not on the trade list.

In fact, the truth is easy to understand. After all, merchants are chasing profits. If goods such as silk, ceramics and tea are naturally more profitable, so grain will always be excluded from this.
