The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire

Just when Zhong Yu was busy integrating all the resistance forces in the Three Kingdoms, the colossus of Lingtian Dojo actually betrayed all the local tyrants on his own initiative, and the news that he intervened in the local administration regardless of his status spread throughout the world.

Especially in the central region, it has aroused the fear and anger of everyone in the world.

As a kind of power conferred by local tyrants, the dojo is equivalent to the worship of those local tyrants, accepting the local knowledge and actions of the local tyrants, and the dojo cultivates talents for the local tyrants and provides certain protection.

This has been passed down since ancient times and has been a rule for hundreds of years. Today, this Lingtian Daoist Temple has disregarded the etiquette of the past and blatantly destroyed it, which undoubtedly aroused the fear of the wealthy families in those places.

You must know that with the prevalence and rise of dojos, especially in the current Warring States period, countless big names and powerful families have more or less canonized and established countless dojos on their own territories in order to improve their military power.

Up to now, various dojos can be said to be spread all over the world. They have mastered the top secret recipes of each country, and they have cultivated countless powerful warriors.

And these powerful warriors are often at the beginning of their studies, and when they started to travel around the world, they were recruited by wealthy families from all over the world, and they received them under their command and became generals.

Up to now, the warriors in these dojos have more or less mastered certain powers, have important languages ​​in the territories of various proud clans, and even themselves are certain superiors.

If these dojos also want to follow the example of Lingtian Dojo and raise a banner to call on the disciples under their command to rebel with them, it would be a terrifying thing to think about.

Therefore, for the sake of their own safety, the wealthy families everywhere began to take precautions.

First of all, first alienate those warriors from the dojo, and then slowly send back the rights granted to them inadvertently, to consolidate their majesty in the territory, and weaken the influence of those warriors on their own army.

After these actions, the power of those wealthy families over their own territory and army was greatly strengthened, while the power of those samurai from the dojo was inevitably weakened, and their status in the entire territory became embarrassing.

They can clearly feel that the eyes of their master looking at them are full of doubts. As well as the surrounding warriors from other rich families, or the warriors promoted from the commoner class, they looked at him with contempt and malice.

This kind of overt and covert rejection filled the hearts of these warriors with resentment, resulting in two extremes.

Although some warriors were rejected out of loyalty to the noble family, they did not make any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he stayed behind closed doors more and more, reducing all his social activities, in order to prove his innocence.

But some people felt that their self-esteem had been seriously hurt, or they left the noble family directly and returned to their dojo. He even simply traveled around the world and never came back.

But some people are more extreme. They hide secretly, connect with each other, and contact the dojo behind them, trying to imitate Ling Tian and overthrow these wealthy families in one fell swoop.

When the time comes to turn around and be the master, wouldn't it be better to be called around by others and be on guard in every possible way.

The seeds of conflict were planted at this time, and they continued to take root and grow vigorously.

In addition to internal clean-up and consolidation of authority, wealthy families from all over the country have also started to connect again and again, especially the Etsuchu, Shinano, Ueno, Shimotsuno, and Hitachi countries that are close to the dojo.

These five countries have not yet unified their respective countries, and the powerful clans and lords conquered each other. Compared with the Daochang, a behemoth with more than two million stones that owns the Three Kingdoms, it is really weak like an ant.

Therefore, the daimyo and powerful families of the five countries traveled to each other, and each sent envoys to various places, trying to connect together and form a huge alliance to fight against the oppression of the dojo.

However, after all, there are many contradictions between them, and they all have deep hatred for each other, and the five countries are too far apart, so it is not easy to connect them together.

However, the rich families in the countries behind the Five Kingdoms did not feel too directly the coercion of the dojo, so they refused their request to join forces and chose to stand on the sidelines.

In the end, only the rich families of Shinano and Hitachi countries could unite. The rich families of other countries negotiated for a while, and finally broke up unhappy, and the joint matter was abandoned.

In response to the emergence of these forces resisting him, Zhong Yu also made strategic adjustments and chose to focus on different attack strengths in order to break through this blockade.

First of all, the general under his command and one of his proud disciples, Tomita Yoshinari led 5,000 second-tier disciples, plus 20,000 first-tier legions, and 25,000 cannon fodder legions, a total of 50,000 troops attacked the Shinano country. .

The Shinano country is mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many wealthy families in the country, who have always been famous for their rebelliousness.

The Shinano country is located in the middle of the country, connecting neighboring countries, mastering the main transportation routes to communicate with various places, and at the same time there is a road to Luo.

It has always been coveted by the lords of the surrounding countries who aspire to become the people of the world. In the past, countless wars broke out here.

Also because of the protracted war, most of the rich families in Shinano Kingdom are tough and rebellious, and they are notoriously difficult to tame.

But this time, Zhong Yu didn't need to curry favor with these wealthy families, he came to conquer, not to buy people's hearts.

Moreover, Zhong Yu didn't have the idea of ​​currying favor with the wealthy families in these places.

In the past, after the Japanese daimyo broke through a place, they dared not kill all the powerful families who resisted the local area.

And we must continue to appease those who surrendered and give them a certain amount of territorial knowledge. It is because they are afraid of arousing their resistance and causing unnecessary trouble and loss to themselves.

Moreover, the warriors under the daimyo's command are often from wealthy clans. If Daming is too harsh on the defeated wealthy clans, it will also arouse the sadness of the rabbits and foxes under his command, and thus the idea of ​​rebellion.

This is why the Warring States made a rule that did not abide by this rule, and it was extremely strict to even the defeated nobles. It was no problem to burn the city and exterminate the clan. Knowing that Tian Nobunaga was called the Sixth Heaven Demon King, he was extremely fearful and hated.

Under such circumstances, it would be considered kind of Oda Nobunaga not to deprive them all, not to mention increasing the consulting territories of the losers.

Even Oda Nobunaga was extremely demanding of the samurai under his command, killing them at every turn.

And Nobunaga is not very friendly to Buddhism. The whole of Japan is ruled by Buddhist beliefs, and there is even a Buddhist kingdom on the ground, similar to the Western Christian empire.

This practice of Oda Nobunaga is undoubtedly outrageous and violates the values ​​and beliefs of the world.

Therefore, after the conflict between Nobunaga and the Kaga Country Honganji Temple broke out, and after slaughtering most of the Kaga Country under the control of our temple, he completely broke with Buddhism.

Then, under Nobunaga's usual habit of beating and scolding his subordinates, out of fear of Nobunaga's punishment, Nobunaga's general Mitsuhide Akechi launched a mutiny and killed Nobunaga in one fell swoop.

Then the trend and great cause of the Oda family to unify the world were shattered.
