Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1221 Pick a Dog

   "Huh? Is the current head of your Tanegashima family seriously ill?" Liu Xing asked subconsciously.

Tanegashima Teru sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, the current head of our Tanegashima family has indeed suffered from a serious illness. Although he is almost better now, he has also lost the ability to move because of this, and his brain sometimes It won't work either, so the final treatment is currently underway. If the final treatment can't bring him back to normal, then we will let him retire early and re-elect a new owner according to the regulations... Treatment, but we all know it's just a delay."

   "Then can I ask, which faction does the current head of your Tanegashima family come from?" Koukawa Koo then asked.

Tanegashima Teruyi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the current head of our Tanegashima family can be said to be very special, because he is the only head of the Tanegashima family who is not from the four major factions after the establishment of the Tanegashima family. ; Didn't I just say that in addition to the four major factions in our Tanegashima family, there are also some scattered small factions, no, they are not so much factions as they are small groups, because each For various reasons, he is unwilling or unable to join the four major factions, such as Saburo of Ryuzakuji where the current head of the family belongs."

   "Ryuzuo Temple Family?"

  Gu Chuan Xiaofu frowned and said, "That's not right. Although the Longzao Temple family is not as big as before, it is still a medium-sized family, so there should be no people who end up in other families."

"That's right, the strength of the Ryuzouji family, as the three heroes of Kyushu alongside the Shimadzu family and the Otomo family, should not be underestimated. After all, the Ryuzouji family is a branch of the Fujiwara family in a sense. It is impossible for a family member to come to our Tanegashima home to take refuge; but nothing is absolute, and the ancestor of Saburo of Ryuzakuji is a Chizhidan."

Speaking of which, Tanegashima Teruichi shook his head and said with some talkativeness: "As one of the most powerful families in the island country - a branch of the Fujiwara family, the Ryuzoji family will naturally not allow their own family members to be Chizhidan. Therefore, the ancestors of Saburo Ryuzakuji first ran to Otomo's house, because the Otomo family at that time had made it clear that they would protect Chizhidan. As a result, the Otomo family was severely damaged after a series of accidents, so the ancestors of Saburo Ryuzakuji Temple were I had to go to Tanegashima incognito, after all, Tanegashima at that time could be said to be a paradise, and the contact with the outside world was almost zero."

"Of course, at that time, the ancestors of Saburo Ryuzakuji and the others who ran out of Chizhidan did not dare to disclose their identities, because the Honganji faction had already begun to take shape at that time, and a Honganji temple was also built, although This Honganji Temple has never been recognized by the Honganji family, and in the final analysis, it is a temple about the size of my office. It has now become a holy place for the Honganji faction; but after the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, everything changed. , so those Qizhidan dared to reveal their identities and used their original surnames."

"However, Saburo of Ryuzo Temple is more deviant. He has not dealt with the people of Ryuzo Temple since he was a child, because he refused to become a Chizhidan, so he has always been closer to other factions; after the death of the previous head of the family , the candidates for the new head of the family are still locked in the two candidates launched by our Inoue faction and Yamamoto faction, but for various reasons, the support levels of these two candidates are actually almost the same, and each of them has also been exposed. Something bad happened."

"So, Saburo of Ryuzakuji, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, took this opportunity to take the position, because except for the faction of Ryuzakuji, all other factions recognized Saburo of Ryuzakuji, and Saburo of Ryuzakuji was over sixty years old at that time. Therefore, it stands to reason that I can't be the head of the family for a few years. After all, our Tanegashima family is different from other families. As long as the head of the family makes a big mistake or loses his normal working ability for a long time, he will automatically give way to the new head of the family. , not like other families, as long as you don't want to give up your position, you can wait until you die before giving up the position of the head of the family."

   "Kizhidan, no wonder the ancestors of Saburo Ryuzakuji fled to Tanegashima."

Koukawa Xiaofu shook his head and said, "When I used to play "Shogun", I liked playing the Shimadzu family very much, because the Shimadzu family is very strong, and it is located in the south of Kyushu, it is unlikely to be attacked by both sides , just need to fight forward, but what I was most curious about at the time was why Chizhidan reduced the local stability so much, every time I had to send troops to stabilize the local situation, so as to avoid a sudden wave of rebellion So I went to study the cutzhidan during the Warring States period, and found that whether it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi or the later Tokugawa Ieyasu, their attitude towards the cutzhidan was very poor."

Hearing Xiaofu Guchuan say this, Liu Xing realized that this Qizhidan was a cross religion after it was introduced to the island country, and it was spread on Kyushu Island from the beginning, because the big names on Kyushu Island were very willing to conduct business with merchant ships from the Europa continent. At that time, there were almost all missionaries on the ocean-going ships departing from the Europa continent, so a lot of Chizhidan soon appeared on Kyushu Island.

As a wonderful country, although the island country has been accepting various foreign cultures, after these foreign cultures take root in the island country, they will be more or less transformed by magic, such as those temples and monks in the island country are more than one "Shaolin" ”, so the appearance of Chezhidan aroused the vigilance of the local temples.

As a result, the monks in the island country who were more powerful than ashigaru with swords, guns and sticks fought with Chizhidan, but because those big names also traded with merchants from Europa, they would prefer Chizhidan, which led to the conflict between the two sides. The contradiction intensified and became a very serious destabilizing factor.

When Toyotomi Hideyoshi nominally controlled the entire island country, the power of the daimyo was weakened to a certain extent, and at the same time, there were few daimyo who clearly supported Chizhidan, so Chizhidan entered the cold winter in the island country and could only secretly carry out activities. . . However, some Qizhidan were still unconvinced, and as a result, they caused the dissatisfaction of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered to do it, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and only a few weaker ones were punished. .

However, what really angered Toyotomi Hideyoshi was that his favorite nephew was trained by him as his successor. He took action on the cut-throat pill, and then Tokugawa Ieyasu followed the trend and forcibly suppressed the cut-throat pill in various places.

However, as an outsider, Liu Xing heard that the reason why Kirizhidan was disliked by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu was because their old boss, Oda Nobunaga and Kirizhidan, had a very good relationship, so these two names were wrong. Naturally, the "successor" who doesn't speak well will not be able to see it.

Of course, as a world based on the myth of Cthulhu, Liu Xing has also heard such a statement, that is, there were already many mythical creatures and secret churches in the island country at that time, so he couldn't tolerate Chiezhidan coming and grabbing territory with them. , so they used the forces of all parties to deal with Qiezhidan overtly and covertly. . . In addition to this, there is another unreliable statement, that is, the missionaries from the Europa continent are actually treasure hunters, and the treasures they are looking for are the relics left by the ancient gods.

But no matter what the real situation is, it was really miserable for the islanders who became Chizhidan at that time, so it is normal for the ancestors of Saburo Ryuzakuji to be forced to flee to Tanegashima Island. As for Saburo Ryuzakuji, he will be selected as the head , it can only be said that it is also fate, who said that the remaining two candidates are not good things?

  Thinking of this, a joke appeared in Liu Xing's mind - if you were asked to choose one from the King of Understanding and the King of Sleep, who would you choose?

   Then of course I choose death.

   So at this time, if there is a third option, those who don't want to choose will choose the third option without hesitation, even if the third option is a husky.

   As long as it's not xx.

   Liu Xing shook his head and said, "Since Ryuzakuji Saburo is destined to step down, then your Inoue faction is now ready to launch a new candidate?"

Hearing Liu Xing say this, Tanegashima Teruichi showed an embarrassed expression, and after a while, he said a little depressed: "How should I put it, our Inoue pie is now a little out of touch, because something happened a long time ago, causing The Mesozoic generation of our Inoue faction in the island country has already returned to zero... Well, these Mesozoic generations were actually arranged by the Shimadzu family to develop their business abroad, because the Shimadzu family's family business developed very rapidly during that time, so they We started to deploy overseas, and as a result, there was a direct fault in our Inoue faction.”

   "Uh, this is indeed a little troublesome."

Liu Xing touched the back of his head and said, "You still have to listen to what the Shimadzu family has to say, and it is unlikely that these people who are responsible for the company's operations abroad will directly return to the island country. After all, the Shimadzu family has not issued an order on this, not to mention Even if they come back, they will lose their competitiveness because they have been away from the island country for a long time.”

"Yeah, they've all been out there for so many years. As long as the people from the Yamamoto faction grasp that they don't understand the situation of Tanegashima, they can beat them without a fight. As for the old family master, let them come back sooner. In fact, we also thought about it, but in the end we didn’t make up our minds to do so, because the old family owner even arranged for them to go outside to take charge of the company’s operations, which means that the old family owner trusted their ability, or it could be said to trust us in Tanegashima So we can't let the old family owner down, let alone see a Tanegashima family who has been fighting with each other to the point of forgetting their roots."

Having said that, Tanegashima Teruichi pointed to himself and said, "So as long as there are no accidents, I will be the next patriarch candidate launched by the Inoue faction, because I am now the most valued by the old and new patriarchs of the Inoue faction. People, and besides me, are either old men in their 70s or 80s, or young people in their 20s, they can't stand up when they come out; and if I can perform well in the battle of Gongwu, then I will I will have an advantage when running for the next head of the family, but my previous injury will also be my biggest disadvantage, because there is no family in the island country that chooses to have a person with a small head in half."

"As for the Yamamoto faction, although there are a lot of people who can stand up and choose, their abilities and qualifications are slightly inferior to mine, and these people's reputation is not very good, because the third term is up. The owners of the family are all from the Yamamoto faction, so over the years the Yamamoto faction has been more arrogant, so in the eyes of other factions, they have a bad reputation; as for the Maeda faction, if they really want to choose, I can guess who they will send. And if he really came out, it would be a little troublesome, because this person has a very good relationship with the new owner and is now serving as a secretary for the new owner."

When Tanegashima Teruichi mentioned Shimadzu Hirodo, Liu Xing suddenly came to his senses, because after Shimadzu Nakano ceded Kagoshima to Shimadzu Hirodo, Liu Xing and others lost the details of Shimadzu Hirodo. The news, I only know that he is constantly moving in Kagoshima, but it is not clear what he has done.

Tanegashima Teruyi also saw the curiosity on Liu Xing's face, so he continued: "This person from the Maeda faction is called Maeda Gong, and he is the direct descendant of the first head of our Tanegashima family, so although he is average in ability, he The relationship network in the Shimadzu family is very well managed. After all, the Maeda faction has been the head of the family for so many generations before, so they have always kept in touch with the members of the affiliated families of the Shimadzu family, which is why the Maeda faction is still able to The main reason is to eat the old money, so after the new owner took office, Maeda took a lot of hard work and successfully became the secretary of the new owner, and he has been busy in Kagoshima recently."

   "It turns out that this Maeda Gong is indeed your biggest opponent, Mr. Huiyi, but if he has no way to resign, he can only choose to give up, so what is he doing now?" Liu Xing asked seriously.

Tanegashima Teruichi thought for a while before answering: "It seems that he is in charge of building a new factory, but I don't know what this factory produces, or only the new owner knows what this factory does. Yes, because the machinery needed by the factory was secretly shipped from abroad by the new owner, and these machines are still in containers.”

  Dangerous!

  I don't know why, but Liu Xing felt that there was something wrong with those so-called "machines", and these "machines" might also be used in Tanegashima. . . Wait, could this be a proxy fight?
