Chapter 322 110,000 Stone Heroes
Chapter 322: Eleven Thousand Stones of Power
In the meeting hall in Songyue City, Masayoshi hesitated whether to agree to Tian Anchang's request.
"Your Highness, there are two reasons why my subordinates requested to go. First, we are very familiar with the terrain of Matsuura County, and we can persuade the guards in the city to surrender. After all, many of the guards are the subordinates of the ministers in the past." Seeing that Masayoro was hesitant, Tian Anchang immediately said, "The second is to ask your superiors to give me a chance to atone for merits and atone for his sins."
This time, because they had traitors, they almost brought Luo Family into the enemy's sneak attack circle. Tian Anchang of Changshou was resentful. In fact, this traitor was a little earlier among their more than 20 people. If it weren't for Tian Anchang of Changshou and others who often changed places, they would have been surrounded by powerful men such as the Omura family. This time, as soon as they entered the mountain, the traitor among them immediately recognized the hidden marks unique to the Omura family, and then the traitor acted as the guide without hesitation, leading everyone to the raid circle step by step along the mark.
Although this traitor was finally killed by Tian Anchang, they also paid a huge price. Only more than 20 people were left, and everyone was injured, and almost brought the Luo Family into danger. The head of the Luo Family even came alone to rescue him.
So, Anchang of Changshou came with guilt this time.
"This? Okay, then please ask Lord Cangshou to be the deputy general of the second round and lead his subordinates to assist in the strategy of our family." Zhengliang thought for a while, and finally agreed. According to the old man's temper, even if Zhengliang disagreed, he would forcefully follow the army. It would be better to agree to him directly.
The army rested in Songyue City for a second, and officially started to set off with the sight of Zhengliang and others.
The second army with the fourth standing football light team as the main force, Kinishuna Masaru as the general, Akaba Nobusuke as the military advisor, Cangdeshita Yasuke, Kaeda Mototsu, and Tetsuguchi as the deputy general, took the lead in launching the attack.
The army set out along Omura Bay from Hirota Castle and conquered Inotha Hiraki and Sasebo Castle one after another. The defenders along the way fled one after another, with almost no enemy in a battle. When the army arrived at the Dazhi An Castle, they encountered a desperate resistance.
It turned out that almost all the monks in the city were from the Utsumatsuura clan, and these people were unyielding. Finally, under the desperate attack of Anchange of Yasuda, they finally opened the city gate. At the insistence of Yasudada, they massacred the city of Dazhi Temple, and finally burned the city of Dazhi Temple with a fire. At this point, the Utsumatsuura clan almost destroyed the clan, and even if there were some distant relatives, they probably would hide in some deep mountains and live in seclusion after learning about this. A few months later, the Utsumatsuura clan followed the footsteps of the Hirado Matsuura clan and disappeared into the long river of history. Only the last Hodo family of Matsuura, who was still surviving on Iki Island, was left behind.
Masara received news of the massacre of the city the next day after the army set off. Masara just nodded and signaled the army to continue to follow the established plan. At least the military advisor Akahara Nobunosuke, who was in the army, knew that he had not stopped it. Masara even suspected that he would inspire Cangdai Anchang to do so. Masara understood the military advisor's painstaking efforts, and did not eliminate the roots, and the chun wind blew again. Just as when he stepped into Tangjin City with the scolding of the retainers, he also cursed for Masara this time. Masara was very grateful for this, so he would not scold him.
After a fire burned down the city of Dazhi'an, it also had another far-reaching impact, which was that it indicated that the Uematsuura clan was officially completely destroyed. Therefore, those resisters who were still in the hope no longer insisted and returned to their homes and became ordinary leaders. Several years later, some of them might have come out to serve the Luo family, or directly become honest farmers, and have been in their lives.
The silence of these people, the second army's progress was even smoother. On the third stairs of the army, that is, on March 15, the 10th year of the tenth year of the Astronomy, the army conquered Wuyingcheng, the last city of the Uematsuura family in Bichi County. At this point, the land of Bichi County connected to the Uematsuura family on the west bank of Omura Bay, the land of Bichi County connected to the Uematsuura family was completely under the control of the Luo family. The Luo family and the Omura family were separated by Omura Bay and Sasebo Bay.
When the Second Army was heading toward the 2nd Army, the first army with the third permanent light team as the main force, Yoshida Shigemasa as the general, Kakumakuma Ishizo as the military advisor, Ueda Masahiro, Ari, Ida Masaheng, Kato Tatsuzo and Hida as the deputy generals were even more rapid. When they reached the inner city of the Imari Bay when they drove, they did not rush forward, but instead rested in the inner city of the formation. The second ri, with the cooperation of the navy in the Imari Bay, the army swept across the road, conquering Ogata Castle, Hangata Castle, and Ricai, and finally converged with the second army that had just captured the last castle in Matsuura County. As for the two most important castles of the Heido Masaura clan, Hirado Castle and Cangteo Castle, they were burned down when the army invaded, leaving only a bunch of ruins.
At this time, they encountered the most difficult problem. It turned out that after the demise of the Hirado Matsuura clan, the Hirado Matsuura clan's naval army collapsed, and some of the navy defected to various powerful people, while some chose to be pirates. Now there is a pirate with twelve ships entrenched in Hirado Island in Matsuura County. These pirates were the original Hirado clan's naval army.
On how to deal with this navy, the retainers fell into disagreement. Some advocated strong attacks, some advocated solicitation, and finally unanimously decided to report the family's leadership and good decisions quickly. At this time, the general of the second navy team, Noda Ichibing, who had not made any comments, spoke out that he was familiar with the generals of this navy and was willing to go to solicit alone. Anchou Tian also said that he could go together to persuade the surrender.
The suggestion of Noda Ichibe was supported by two military advisors. So Noda Ichibe and Akatsuya Yasuka and Akatsuya Yasuka alone boarded Hirado Island and finally entered the navy's nest, Katsumi Prison City. After some bargaining, the navy was finally willing to join the Luo family. After that, Akatsuya Yasuka refused to keep the Luo family, entrusted his subordinates to the Luo family, resolutely became a monk in Tokkoji Temple near Uya Castle, and lived a seclusion again.
At this point, Matsuura County has completely become the territory of the Luo family.
After confirming that the Omura family had only increased their defensive forces on the territory's border and did not take any other actions, Masara officially issued an order to return to the garrison, and Masara also returned to the lord's mansion in Notakayama.
In 1541, the tenth year of astronomical year, on March 20, the assessment was conducted in the lord's residence with most retainers.
"Your Highness, initially estimated that the income of Matsuura County is about 70,000 stones. The territory of the Uemaura family and the Omura family in the Kishi County is about 30,000 stones, while the territory in the direction of Takeo Castle in Kishimashima County is about 10,000 stones. At present, the territory of our family is expected to be about 110,000 stones in total," said Heiji Togo in a trembling voice.
"Wow!" As soon as Heiji Dongxiang said, the meeting hall was in an uproar. The retainers were all excited about the strength of the Luo family. A powerful 110,000 stone! If it was in some relatively barren places, it was even the lord of a country. Even if the Luo family had not yet become the lord of a country, such strength could be called a little famous person.
"Cough cough" Zhengliang pretended to be serious and signaled everyone to calm down. At this moment, he was also very happy. It was still a month before he came here for a full year. In this short year, Zhengliang led the Luo family from a village that was always invaded by bandits to become the most powerful tyrant in Feiqian Country. Zhengliang could not be unhappy.
After the retainers gradually calmed down, Dongxiang Heiji, who had finally recovered from peace, continued to report: "In terms of population, the preliminary statistics are about 70,000 people. With the implementation of the territory's laws and regulations and verification, it is expected that the population will increase military rations. This strategy consumes a total of 800 stones of military rations, but a large amount of food was seized, and the preliminary statistics are about 40,000 stones. The remaining coins, weapons, and ores are still being cleaned up."
"Yes" Zhengliang nodded. It is already very good to be able to verify the territory's income and population in such a short period of time.
"Everyone! Thank you for your heroic killing of the enemy in this guide. I will never forget your contributions," Zhengliang said solemnly.
"Serve the head of the family!" The retainers bowed down and saluted.
"Kaorukuma Shisen. The 5,000-stone territory in Imari Castle is yours. Take care of it for me." Masayoshi began to divide the throne. According to Masayoshi's current feudal policy, these retainers who were granted had no land ownership, no right to issue laws privately, and no right to mobilize military power. Even the number of retainers and entourages was greatly restricted. They could only honestly manage the territory that the head of the family gave to him according to the laws of the territory, and then extract one-tenth of the final tax revenue of the territory as income. To be precise, they were administrative officials who managed the territory for the head of the family.
Immediately afterwards, Masarara divided the enfeoffments one by one for Akaba Nobusuke, Kinyushita Masaru, Yoshida Shigemasa, Execution Hoshi, Tomohisa Oshimasa and others. The remaining retainers who did not have territorial rewards also received a letter of thanks for their honor, the "Eagle Feather" medal. It can be said that everyone was rewarded. Everyone was quite satisfied with this.
"Your Highness, my servant requested a name change." After rewarding the naval general Noda Ichibing, he suddenly leaned over and saluted, "My servant's original family was the Tao family. Later, due to the war, it was changed to Noda. My servant hoped to restore the original Tao Masato."
"Accurate! From now on, you will be called Masato Tao," Masarara agreed.
After "Yi Nomaru" rewarded everyone, Masarara called out the name of the little surname Yoshi Nomaru.
