Stephen came to the corner of the room, next to the wooden bookshelves, there were a lot of books on the shelves, most of these books were very new, Oda Nobunaga was not a person who loved to learn, these books were placed here more like decoration.

There are all kinds of books here, most of them are books from the Celestial Empire, as a Chinese character cultural circle, all cultural people in the island country must learn to recognize Chinese characters, and must be able to write Chinese characters, although their Chinese character reading is completely different from the Celestial Empire.

Although the island country does not have a imperial examination system, it is also necessary to study the must-read books when participating in the imperial examination, the four books and five classics, I think that after reading these books, even if it is a cultural person, these books are also necessary for the powerful class of the island country to read, in addition, what books such as Sun Tzu’s art of war can also be learned.

Stephen completely ignored these books, he picked up a geographical record of the island country, which recorded the geographical location of the various princely states of the island country and some books of their customs, which seemed very practical in the current troubled times of the warring countries.

The genuine version is only updated to the time before the Warring States, and the content behind is the ninja sent by Oda Nobuhide, and various spy personnel have been inquired and written in, and updated in real time, so that everyone in the Oda family can know what is happening in the outside world and be prepared to deal with changes at any time.

In addition to knowing that in this era, the Celestial Empire is the Ming Kingdom, and the island country has entered the Warring States Era, in addition, the details are not clear, since he intends to join this world full of times, he must know the various situations in this world.

Especially the Owari country where he is located.

After checking it, Stephen knew what the specific situation was in Owari Country.

Owari Province is bordered by two guardian states, one is Mino Country, which is twice the size of Owari Province and borders all of Owari Province’s northern and western territories.

The sea lies to the south of Owari Country, and 60% of the entire Owari country is plain, which is a rare place for an island country with many mountainous areas.

In terms of population, Owari is smaller than Mino, but because it is a plain, the population living here is much higher than that of Mino, which is mostly mountainous.

To the east of Owari Country is Mikawa Country, which is more chaotic and complex than Mino Country and Owari Country.

In addition to the various city lords supporting each other’s self-respect, there is also a sect power in the Three Rivers country, this faction is called the Yixiang Sect.

Not only many ordinary people, but also many samurai believed in this sect.

The Yixiang Sect is a branch of the Bald Sect, but this sect is very secular, and it is also the product of the rise of this opportunity in this troubled era of the Warring States.

They did not eat and pray all day like other bald sects, but wanted to join the world and gain their own benefits.

The Ichisho sect often mobilized peasants who believed in their sect, as well as monks from monasteries, and samurai to arm them to rebel against the local landlords and powerful people and rescue the people.

In fact, their real intention was to seize the region and establish a vassal state.

To make matters worse, Suruga Country, east of the Three Rivers Country, also intervened in the Three Rivers Country, causing the Three Rivers Country to be even more chaotic.

Suruga Country is located in Tokyo, where the famous Mt. Fuji is located.

The guardian daimyo of Suruga Country is, the head of the Imagawa family, Imagawa Yoshimoto, this person is a very capable person, in this troubled era of the Warring States, relying on his own means, so that Suruga has not had any crisis in the country, and everything is very stable.

He belonged to the kind of capable guardian daimyo, not killed by his own courtiers like the Spo family of Owari Country, the Saito family of Mino Country, and the guardian daimyo of Mikawa Country.

Imagawa Yoshimoto was a very ambitious man, he wanted to achieve his own wisdom in this warring states chaotic world, so he wanted to occupy other surrounding princely states.

The chaotic Three Rivers Country is clearly the easiest to invade.

Owari has a large plain, and most of the plains in Owari are alluvial plains, and the plains are rich in water systems, and the water and soil are also very fertile, which is much better than other princely states around the grain production.

Therefore, most people living in Owari are relatively relaxed.

There is also a disadvantage to an easy life, that is, the soldiers of Owari have little combat effectiveness.

It was like the difference between the soldiers stationed in the frontier area and the Janissaries stationed in the royal palace.

If it weren’t for the chaos in the situation in Mino Country and the Mikawa Country, it would not have been possible to take care of the Owari Country, and Owari would probably have been attacked and annexed.

Owari has 8 prefectures in Japan, which are divided into upper 4 districts and lower 4 districts according to geographical location, and as for Oda Nobuhide’s power, it is most of the lower 4 districts in Owari.

In the entire Owari country, in fact, on the whole, it is the great infighting of the Oda family.

Because most of the Owari country was controlled by the Oda family, only a few places were controlled by other small landowners.

After the decline of the Spo family, the guardian daimyo of the Osho Kingdom, the Oda family was very unified in their opinions on the betrayal of the Spo family.

But after the betrayal, there were differences in the territorial administration.

Oda Nobuhide’s younger brother Oda Nobunomo wanted to stand on his own two feet and not be controlled by his brother, and this act of dividing the strength of the Oda family was also supported by many of the Oda family’s retainers.

As a result, there is now a situation where the two brothers, Oda Nobuyo and Oda Nobuhide, often fight for control of Owari Kingdom.

But there is always no difference between victory and defeat.

Oda Nobuyo eventually took control of a small part of Owari Kami4.

In general, Oda Nobuhide’s ability is obviously higher than that of his younger brother Oda Nobutomo, after all, his territory is much larger than that of his younger brother Oda Nobutomo, and he is all really beaten.

In Stephen’s view, Oda Nobuhide has a shortcoming, that is, he is too happy.

Because he couldn’t eat for a while, Kami 4, where Oda Nobuyomo was located, took the initiative to invade Mikawa Country, which borders the eastern part, and Mino Country, which borders the western part, under the premise that Owari was not completely unified.

To compete with forces such as the Imagawa family, Saito Michizo, and Ichijo Somune, the original Oda Nobuhide fell into a quagmire of war, and he couldn’t get out for a while.

However, it did not shake Oda Nobuhide’s position, and the fundamental turning point was what happened in September last year. _
