As mentioned earlier, it was already the middle of the Warring States Period, and a large number of guardian daimyos had gradually transformed into Warring States Period daimyos (this type of daimyos is more centralized and has a stronger awareness of foreign aggression and development).

In such an era, if you still maintain the previous strategy of plundering but not supporting investment to develop your territory, then as time goes by, the territory will not only complain, but once you start a continuous war with external forces, then the disadvantages will arise. Since you cannot obtain continuous support from the territory, Daming will have to constantly exploit the people. In this case, you will definitely not be able to engage in a protracted war with external invading forces, and will even trigger internal and external difficulties.

In more serious cases, once disaster weather is encountered, the territory will inevitably become chaotic, which will arouse more covetous forces, and even without any foreign invasion, he will be driven out of power by the rioters and the tyrants. The most special example of this situation is Takeda Nobuki of the Kafai Kingdom. He is a typical representative who can only plunder and not operate. For the sake of war, or even regardless of the farming of the tyrants of his own territory, he will eventually lead to his son, retainers, and tyrants joining together to expel him from the Kafai Kingdom.

As for the development policy of seeking and supporting at the same time, for most Warring States daimyoshi, almost always adopt the policy of seeking more and supporting less. The ones that control the most stable ratio of seeking and supporting are Imakawa Yoshimoto and Hojo Izuyasu are the most special, especially the Hojo family, which is famous for internal affairs, although they still focus on seeking for their territory, they have greatly developed the territory.

Compared with the above-mentioned daimyos. Under the leadership of Zhengliang, the Luo family actually experienced two stages of plundering and demanding in the shortest time. Then they entered the current policy of investing first and then seeking, and in the early stage, local income was used to support local development. Such a policy would be more conducive to the continuous battle of the Luo family, and even prepared for the protracted war that often occurs in the future for several years.

For example, this battle of Itsujima and the strategy of the Western Kingdom reflect this advantage. In history, the Maori family, led by the Maori Motoji, took more than two years to swallow the territory of the Danai family (this time does not include the preparation time of the Maori family in the previous few years). Now, it only took less than a year for the Luo family to prepare to finally annex the entire region. In this process, the Taichung Kingdom, the Taichung Kingdom, and the Taichung Kingdom were actually Luo.

The clan family managed and supported the country in the early stage. At this time, it was supported by the comprehensive development regions. As for the Chuqian country, Fengqian country, and Fenghou country, the clan country were still in the stage of self-sufficiency, and even riots occurred, so it would be good not to drag the Luo family back. Fortunately, the Luo family managed and supported these areas before, which made the riots in these areas have limited impact and were quickly pacified, otherwise it would really seriously affect the Luo family's Western strategy.

In fact, in history, Maori Moto killed the last pillar of the Daouite family in the Battle of Itsujima. At this time, the Maori family should be able to quickly annex the Daouite family compared to the seemingly powerful outside and actually several empty Daouites inside. But why did they prepare for several years and last for more than two years before finally taking the Daouite family? Specifically, it is because unless you are invincible in the strategy, there will always be difficulties in this way. For example, if you encounter a stubborn resistance force and cannot continue to advance; or if you encounter cold weather, the soldiers cannot fight and have to temporarily rest and recuperate. A war requires a lot of manpower, material resources and other combat preparations, and the development of the territory itself often determines the support for these combat readiness, so the Maori family's strategy was naturally affected a lot. In addition, the difficult local marching path also brought a lot of trouble to the Maori family.

In comparison, after vigorously supporting and developing in the early stage, the soldiers of the Luo family not only did not have to worry about the rear, but also because the population was protected after development, the soldiers of the Luo family could also continuously transport them to the front line. As for the leaders in the territory, not only had sufficient guarantees at home, but also indirectly obtained benefits from the war, which naturally led to their willingness to support Daming in foreign wars.

Once the war preparedness on the front line is lost, the territory not only has a lot of reserves in previous development, but also can be quickly produced and replenished. When encountering a force of tenacious resistance, it can be completely siege it with its own reserves to surrender, and at the same time it can be divided into troops. In the cold weather, not only can it have cotton coats to keep warm, but it can also be produced continuously in the territory. With such support from the support of such rear forces, the Luo family can naturally quickly take over the territory of the Da Neijia. As for the most troublesome marching road problem, due to the huge support of logistics supplies, the Luo family army also avoided the problem of logistics inability to keep up due to the difficulties in marching during the period.

Although many daimyos realize that this large-scale investment in the early stage has brought about changes in later development, not all daimyos are willing to implement it. Taking cotton as an example, daimyos, including Oda Nobuhide of Ohara, all realize its importance. However, since cotton trees sprout to becoming big trees, it takes a long time to grow cotton, and a lot of resources are invested during the period, daimyos are naturally deterred. Therefore, daimyos with long-term vision are willing to plant. When the cotton grows out in the future, they can not only become daily clothes, but also into iron cannon fire lines and combat uniforms in cold weather, which plays a great role in the development of the territory. From this, we can see the different results faced by different territorial development policies.

Therefore, for the longer-term development of the Luo Family territory and the protracted war between various forces that gradually emerged in the middle and late Warring States Period, Zhengliang led the Luo Family into this territory development strategy very early.

Of course, it should be mentioned here that even such a territory development strategy requires timely decision-making. In the event of opportunities, if we can obtain greater benefits than letting the family continue to focus on development, we must take action in time. Even if the development of the family territory slows down, we will be willing to do so. For example, this Battle of Itsukushima is a special example.
