The Battle of Itsujima started to prepare for July last year. In September, the Luo family officially intervened and completely defeated the Tao family and Maori army in the battle. From the end of October, the Luo family took advantage of the victory and launched many battlefields in the land and coastal areas of Nagato, Zhou Fangguo, Anyiguo, and Beihou Kingdom. Until early March this year, the battle was prepared from the beginning until the overall situation was decided, and lasted for nearly eleven months. The chapter was updated the fastest

During this period, the Luo family used almost all the combat preparations, and the specific combat preparations consumed during the war are still being counted. With the lifting of the relevant sea areas and the descriptions of some escaped participants, people gradually learned about the situation of this war. Therefore, the Luo family, which once again dominated several countries, became the topic of conversation for people after dinner.

Yama Castle, Yoshida-gun, Yama Castle in Yama Castle in Yama Castle is located in the mountainous area of ​​Yama Castle, so the temperature at this time is still a bit cold. In the yard where Mori Moto lived, the orange tree from Yoshitaka Ouchi was sent by Yoshitaka at that time still looked lifeless at this time.

"Oh!" After gently putting down the "Lessons of the Three Sons" in his hand, Mori Mori sighed.

This "Lessons of the Three Sons" was written by him occasionally in recent years (there was no real history that Maori Moon made his three sons break the arrow branch. This story was fabricated by later generations. The real situation was that Maori Moon wrote such a letter, and this letter is still in the Yamaguchi Prefecture Museum). It first introduces Maori Moon's entrepreneurial history, including how hard he lived when he was a child, how he inherited his family business, how he married his own family, how he got along with his wife. He even mentioned trivial matters such as asking his descendants to burn a few incense sticks before his wife's spiritual seat in the future.

In addition, there are also many Maori Yuan’s experiences about managing the family. For example, the second article mentioned in it: "The Miao character is Yoshikawa, and the Miao character is Kobayakawa, but don’t forget the Maori of our family”;

Article 5 mentions: "The three brothers must discuss everything in the family, but if the opinions are not unified, Yuanchun and Longjing, you should still listen to the elder brother, and the elders are in order."

Article 9 says, "Your father, I still have a strong spirit in my later years. After your mother passed away, I took a few concubines and gave birth to a few children (Yuan Qing, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Ju, etc.). They are all very young. If they are generals in the future, they will grant them a share of the territory of the distant country. If they are incompetent, please ask you three brothers to remember that everyone is a family and keep it by your side. Just don't make things difficult for them."

The above content is some of Maori Yuan’s experiences about governing a family or even governing a country so far. As time goes on, more content will be recorded in this letter of confession, thus becoming the letter of confession in history.

In fact, later generations can fully combine these lessons and see them, and then they can probably get some content about the Maori ruling system!

Before the Battle of Itsujima, after Mori Moto's own efforts, the Maori family finally became the leader of the small-scale alliance of Anyiguo. The core group of its rule was Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa. Below were the tyrants of the common people Fukuhara, Guyu, Shido, and Katsuki. The outside was the in-laws and half-comrades and half-friendly relatives, Kumayaya, Konodo, Amano, etc. This dominant model was called the "blood relative" (internal) and "alliance" (external) model in later generations.

This model is OK to govern one country and two countries, but once it continues to expand, the original family-style management method that is only suitable for small and medium-sized private enterprises will immediately become less adaptable.

Long before the Battle of Itsuki, Mori Moto gradually realized the problem of this method. In order to better adapt to the expansion of the Mori family (at this time he was very confident that he could swallow the ill elephant of the Ouchi family in one fell swoop), he continued to use his blood relatives and common people thereafter, such as letting the fourth son Motoki inherit the Hoida family (i.e. the Zhuangjia), the fifth son Motoki inherited the Tomota family of Izumo, the sixth son Motoki inherited the Ishimiko Izumiko's Izumiko's Izumiko and so on to digest the vast new territory (this is the origin of Article 9 of the Lesson Letter), and each was responsible for the offense and defense of one area.

At the same time, he also established a "four-person collaborative group" at home. In addition to Nikawa, the common people Fukuhara Satoshi and Konohara Toshiraki were added. In terms of responsibilities, Yoshikawa Motoshira (military leader) and Konohara Toshira (political commissar) were responsible for the military and politics of Yama** (Ishimi, Izumo, Hiroki, etc.), for the "Northern Legion", Kobayakawa Takake and Fukuhara Satoshi (division of labor) were responsible for the military and politics of Yamayoji (Setou Inland Sea and Shikoku), for the "Southern Legion". No matter how big or small the matter was, the family governor Takamoto and these four people discussed and handled it (this is the origin of the fifth lesson). The above are all measures that Mori Motoshi planned to win before the Battle of Itsujima, in order to better adapt to the expansion of the Mori family's development after he was determined to better adapt to the expansion of the Mori family's development.

In addition to completing the above measures, in history, Mori Moto also expanded the "scope" of external alliances after the victory of the Battle of Itsuki. Previously, the Kumagaya and Koto waves in the country of Anyi, and later Ishimi's great tyrants, Yoshimi, Naito (Takahun's lineage), Shimizu (Keimi Soji), and Nanjo of Tokiki all became Maori's "strategic partners". In fact, the right to independence and autonomy was fully recognized, and it was only necessary to act as a servant army and satellite country of the Maori family.

It can be said that in the first half of the Warring States Period, the Maori family implemented changes under the auspices of Maori Yuanji, so the Maori family became a daimyo that dominates the Western countries. However, with the continuous development of history, in the middle and late Warring States Period, Maori Yuanji found that this ruling system could not keep up with the needs of development. He planned to reform, but at this time the original ruling system had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and affected the stability of the family. Once the change was made, Maori Yuanji could not be sure of what would happen. In addition, he was old and weak at this time and had no energy anymore. So he could only sigh that "The Maori family had the power of several countries or even ten countries on the surface, but his foundation was still Ai. After preparing, he did not have the qualifications to dominate the world."

Tradition is naturally good, otherwise how can it become a tradition? But tradition is not good, and it will eventually become a stumbling block for innovation and development. Just as Mori Mori expected, after his death, the next generations of Maori people in the Maori family held the "essence" of "The Three Sons Lessons" and lost the opportunity to evolve towards the Oda Nobunaga regime in vain. First, they fought with the Oda family and were defeated repeatedly, and could hardly hold on under the fierce attack of Oda Nobunaga's new army. Later, until the decisive battle between Sekihara (1600 AD) during the Sun Tzu-sun Huiyuan period, the Maori family in the Western Kingdom's 1.2 million stone territory had not completely transformed the blood relatives and alliance model, laying the root of disaster for the failure to compete for the world.

Of course, Mao Ri Yuan had not fully realized this. At this time, he just discovered the shortcomings of the family rule system and made remedies in advance before the Battle of Itsukushima. But what he didn't expect was that the result was almost certain, but was finally picked up by the Luo family, which appeared out of thin air. Every time he thought of this, Mao Ri Yuan wanted to pick up the too-killing knife and slashed the Luo family's commander Luo family's countless swords, and slashed the other party's Lingchi over and over again.

During the Battle of Itsuki, the Maori family not only took the opportunity to annex the broken ship of the Oui family by the Luo family, but was even beaten back to the pre-liberation by the Luo family overnight.

In this battle, so far, Mori Moto learned that the retainers who had been confirmed to have lost in this battle were more than 20 people, including Yoshitoki Iida, Nobunaga, Nobunaga, Misukaya, Nomi Sokashi, and other families, and families such as Kumaga, Omi, Iida, Nomi, Kikai, Shinri, and Shinri, and Shinri, who had escaped, even Amano, Sasatsushi Fukuhara, Kagawa Kan, Kagawa Sumi, and others, their family territories fell into the hands of the Luo family. What's more terrible is that as the Kobayakawa Ichikawa Ichikawa Ichikawa Ichikawa Ichikawa Ichikawa's two-speaking Takake, he was captured and the Kobayakawa family was captured in the eastern part of Anyiguo.

In terms of military power, during the Battle of Iron Island, tens of thousands of people who had finally pieced together to form a large army, and almost all the troops were destroyed. Some of them were prisoners of the Luo family and surrendered to the Luo family, while some of them died in the Battle of Iron Island. Even the last part of the stubborn people who hid on Iron Island and were unwilling to surrender, they were probably unable to escape the "warrior hunting" of the local leaders of Iron Island, and died under the fork of the spear gun.

What's even more terrible is that even though the Maori family occupied the territory of various parts of Anyiguo, the Luo family still chased and directly broke into the border of the old territory when the Maori family started, the Takata County and Yama Prefecture County of Anyiguo. The Luo family wanted to kill them all.

Therefore, Maori Yuan decided to fight the Luo family. While using the battle experience accumulated throughout his life, he was dealing with the invading Luo family army on the borders of the two counties, he urgently came from Beihou and even prepared for reinforcements sent by China to the Maori family, determined to fight the Luo family to the end. Fortunately, before leaving the Imai Island, he had always been cautious in setting up enough military power in these two lairs, in order to avoid being attacked by the Nizi family, but now it is used to fight against the Luo family.

Of course, as the Luo family defeated themselves and the Ouchi family in the Battle of Itsujima, and even took the opportunity to invade the territory of the Ouchi family in Anyi Kingdom, Zhou Fangguo and Nagato, the power structure in the Western Kingdom will cause great changes, causing a lot of commotion.
