This is an old man of the same era as Gu Qilin. The title given to Toze Shozo by the Dongzhou Federation was [Sea Serpent]. As a titled strong man who has made great military exploits, Toze Shozo did not stay in Nagano, but returned

Yinghai, a remote place, said that he wanted to return to his hometown, but the Dongzhou Assembly could not reject this request.

So Toze Shozo returned to Yinghai and pushed his family to the highest point.

In this remote place, there is a person with a title supporting him, who is a being who reaches the sky.

Gu Shen listened patiently and did not rush.

"The reason why Toze Shozo retired from Nagano and returned to his hometown was not just because he missed his hometown..."

Dongze Takamasa said calmly: "He hopes that Yinghai can break away from Dongzhou and take power independently."

"oh?"

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows. He had heard such rumors often. Yinghai District's attitude towards the mainland has always been ambiguous, and many people looked down on the mainland.

However, after Dadu has grown rapidly, the situation in Yinghai has changed.

As Takamasa Toze said, there are five members, and three major families occupy four.

In fact, it is already a thing of the past.

If any of the five councilors in Yinghai District is unwilling to obey the political opinions of Lu Nanzhi and Chen San, he will be kicked out immediately.

Of the three major families today, the Toze family is not as strong as it was thirty years ago.

The most powerful "Kamiya family" holds two seats in the House of Representatives and is always at the mercy of the majority.

After Lu Nanzhi became a member of the House of Representatives, the struggle in the Jiangnan region began and ended silently. It was settled without bloodshed.

Whether it was Kamiya, Ishizuka, or Toze, after meeting Dadu, they all realized the fragility of their own power.

Huazhi united with the five Nagano families, and the resources they could mobilize were far beyond their imagination.

So they have only one choice.

Surrender.

The "unification" of the Jiangnan region is also the prerequisite for the north-south autonomy of Taito and Nagano.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

If the civil strife in Dongzhou is not settled, we will not be able to continue cooperating with Central City.

"I haven't heard a single bit of news like this."

Gu Shen's low sigh caused Takashi Toze to laugh.

The head of the family lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You must be a big shot, whether you are from Nagano or Dadu... When big shots stand too high, they often neglect something. There are many things you don't know.

"

Gu Shen paused for a moment: "...continue."

"After the three families landed in the Yinghai area, the Isakou Islands have been gradually abandoned. Many of the islands that have been mined have lost their value, but the Toze family keeps buying them." Takamasa Toze asked with a smile: "What do you think?

For a moment, why is this?"

It's not hard to guess.

Gu Shen said: "Cultivation of dead soldiers."

"That's right..." Toze Takamasa smiled even more happily: "Tiguse Shozo cultivated a huge number of dead soldiers belonging to the Toze family... Half of the Isakuchi Islands is now the base of the Toze family.

"

Gu Shen looked at the Dongze clan leader.

From the very beginning, he discovered that Takashi Toze showed no respect for his father in his words.

Yinghai District pays great attention to etiquette and respect, and the "etiquette" in this place is already a bit sick and deformed.

The emergence of this phenomenon illustrates a problem.

He said sadly: "So... you are just a puppet of the Toze family."

Takamasa Toze, this seemingly glamorous family patriarch, actually has no real power.

Both the membership status and the authority of the family head are false.

Using the word "puppet" is both appropriate and inappropriate.

Takamasa Toze already has a certain amount of strength.

This so-called Kurosaki group is the "affiliated force" organized by him, but the force belonging to him, the head of the family, is far from comparable to that of the aging Toze Shozo.

The reason why he has his current status.

It was just because the elderly Toze Shozo wanted to retreat from the background, so he was pushed to the front.

As for the "Kurosaki Group" and other actions...

Presumably Dongze Shozo saw it.

With these methods, I don't care about banning my account, and I don't bother to pay attention to them.

From beginning to end.

Takamasa Toze's resistance is a joke.

"I'm not interested in the history of the Toze family."

Gu Shen shook his head and said, "I want to know who is standing behind Dongze Shozo."
