"'The family is big and the business is big' and so on... it's really ridiculous~"

My grandson gave a wry smile.

"In the past 24 years after the failure of the uprising, we have been living a hard life of hiding in XZ, no different from rats in a smelly ditch~~"

"It wasn't until the Black Ship Incident broke out and the shogunate was overwhelmed with attention that our life finally became a little easier~~"

"Our main bases are in Gyeonggi, so we don't have such a strong influence in Kanto."

"The rest of the companions stationed in Edo... there must still be some. It's just that they are either pure scholars who are not good at fighting, or they have something to do and can't leave."

After hearing this, Nishino couldn't help curling his lips.

"Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi... Why do you traitors and villains like to hang out in Gyeonggi?"

My grandson smiled.

"Who calls Gyeonggi the center of Japan? Whoever controls Gyeonggi wins the world - whoever controls Gyeonggi will have an unshakable advantage in the journey to dominate the world."

"..."

Nishino remained silent - he was silent and silent, expressing his tacit approval of what my grandson just said.

Gyeonggi is one of the earliest developed areas on the Japanese archipelago.

Because it was developed early and has superior natural conditions, it has had strong productivity since ancient times.

In addition to superior economic conditions, Gyeonggi also has an outstanding advantage that other regions do not have - that is "culture."

Although the Kyoto court headed by the emperor has no political power, they don't know how to govern a country at all, and they don't even know the real situation of this country. They only think that Westerners are a bunch of dirty barbarians, and they keep shouting "reject the barbarians"

", which constantly put pressure on the Edo shogunate and made the officials of the shogunate miserable.

However, even though they clearly have no power, the words and deeds of the Kyoto court can still influence Japan's political situation - the reason for this is because the Kyoto court has an unshakable dominance in Japan's cultural field.

From a legal point of view, the Chrysanthemum Dynasty lasted for more than a thousand years, and the legal system has never been cut off. Under the turns of Shintoism, Confucianism, and Mito Studies, its status has reached such a high level that it is unbelievable to foreigners. Only Japan

Only people can understand”.

Leaving aside the common people with little education, at least in the eyes of today's intellectuals, the Kyoto court is an inviolable existence.

For this reason, even the people of Gyeonggi have a strong sense of honor.

Even now, Gyeonggi people, who are considered the "conquered" in the political ecology, still have their eyes set on the top and think that areas other than Gyeonggi are rural areas.

Especially Guandong - due to historical grievances, the people of Gyeonggi look down on the people of Guandong in particular. They feel that the people of Guandong are barbaric, rude and ignorant of taste, and they scornfully call the people of Guandong "Dongyi".

From this point alone, it is enough to see how exaggerated "cultural resources" the Gyeonggi region has.

To put it simply, if you occupy the capital and conquer the Kyoto court, you will not only have strong economic strength, but also play the trick of "holding the emperor to order the princes" and launch a cultural offensive against the enemy - just like Cao Mengde during the Three Kingdoms period

That way.

At this time, my grandson spoke again:

"Although at first glance, the plan of 'forcibly breaking into the Phoenix House' seems very foolish, it is also the best method we can implement at the moment."

My grandson held out his first finger.

"First of all, the privileged businessmen headed by Zha Chai are the worms of the country that we are sworn to destroy."

"In order to realize this wish, we have long understood the details of the privileged merchants in Edo, Kyoto, Osaka and other places. Therefore, we have a good understanding of the internal structure of the Phoenix House Residence."

My grandson held out a second finger.

"Secondly, although the other party has many guards, because the house is very large, they need to be stationed in various places, so their defense force must be scattered."

"It always takes a while for the guards stationed on the east side of the mansion to run to the west side of the mansion."

"As long as we make good use of the time difference when they gather their combat power, it won't be difficult to capture Phoenix House Yataro alive."

"As for the end..."

My grandson held out his third finger.

"We must act as soon as possible without any delay!"

"We have been dealing with the Fa Zhu Party for a very long time. Therefore, we know very well what a formidable enemy Rakshasa is."

"In my eyes, Rakshasa is one of the most difficult and ruthless characters in the Fa-Zhu Party."

"Looking at the entire Hōzu Party, the only people who are more troublesome than Rakshasa are their leader: Yamata no Orochi, their spy chief: Tamamo-mae, their army commander: Shuten Doji, and their supreme commander.

Power: Otake Maru!"
