Chapter 750
"Peacemaking?"
On the Mingguo Fukushi ship on the sea outside Iki Island, Masara, who was preparing to fight with the joint naval forces of the Ouchi family, the Hodo family and the Zong family, received a joint peace proposal from the other party.
Zhengliang originally wanted to reject the other party's suggestions, but then he thought about it and had to think about it. It was obvious that the other party had chosen to negotiate peace because there was a huge lucky ship in the Luo family's naval camp at this time. The other party did not want to fight the Luo family's naval army to death, resulting in greater losses.
If the other party is rejected, what will happen? First of all, the two sides will have to fight. But if so, can the Luo family's navy really defeat the other party? At this time, the Luo family's navy had a total of more than 180 ships and a Mingguo Fu ship that had just come to play a guest role. The other party had more than 300 ships close to 400 ships.
In terms of military strength, the situation of the other party is not known for the time being. However, before leaving, the Luo family left some peasant soldiers to guard the Guiwei City, which had just been captured this morning, so the troops were not very strong. Moreover, due to the series of pursuits in the afternoon, many of the soldiers were exhausted. The navy of the other party's Da Nei and Zong family were all in labor instead of leisure.
What is most depressing is that the power of the most powerful weapons, iron cannons and baked jade, which are most dependent on, is greatly reduced in such weather. If the fight is really done, it will be a platoon battle. The platoon battle is the most important thing for the soldiers. Now the morale of the soldiers of the Luo family will rise sharply due to the series of previous actions of Zhengliang and the sudden addition of the Fu Ship. However, once a protracted war on the water with the other party, the physical disadvantage of the Luo family will appear. At the same time, the newly added Fu Ship does not have a large tube, so when fighting, the attack method relies more on the impact of the opposition and opposition. However, if the impact is too much, the Fu Ship itself will be damaged. Zhengliang does not want to lose such a giant ship that supports so quickly (even if this ship is not from the Luo Ship).
What makes Zheng conscience the most is that no matter whether this battle is won or not, the Luo family's naval army will suffer serious losses in the end. The Luo family's standing naval army will also suffer a lot of damage in this war.
There is one disadvantage to the elite military policy, that is, once the elite military loses too much, it is difficult to supplement it in a short period of time. This means that the Luo family will rely on human sea tactics to ensure the combat effectiveness of the navy for a long period of time. This consumes a lot of money on the Luo family. Moreover, in the real-time battlefield, if the elite military is too damaged and there is no timely supplementary to ordinary peasants (currently due to being far away from land, this is a situation), it is likely that the entire army will be defeated.
After thinking about it, Masarara decided to discuss peace with the Ouchi family, the Tomoshima So-sect family, and the Hiroshima Hachi family first to see what benefits the Luo family can get. Of course, while preparing for peace, Masarara had sent a ship to secretly return to the coast of Himemaki to greet reinforcements and prepare to come and support at any time. It is estimated that the several companies on the other side also made such measures.
After the four parties reached the preliminary intention of peace talks, the two sides agreed to retreat together. Then they each sent a representative and several soldiers as guards to drive a small morning island near the battlefield, which looked like a whale (later named Whale Island) to start peace talks.
The representative of the peace talks sent by the Luo family this time was Liu Le. The other three parties were stunned when they saw that the representative of the Luo family was actually a Ming family, but they were relieved. Anyway, the governor of the Luo family was famous for making some strange and amazing actions, so they had nothing to be surprised. Then everyone placed a ship on a seaside on the island in advance, and no one started a fierce debate in the cabin of the ship locked up above. During this period, the information was also passed back to their respective escort ships from time to time, and then waited for the decision of their own head generals. Finally, the peace talks were reached in the evening.
According to the decision to negotiate peace, the Luo family, the Danai family, the Hodo family and the Zong family must ensure the smoothness of the maritime business roads near the Iki Island and no commercial blockade shall be carried out. As a concession to the Luo family, the Danai family also ensures the smoothness of the maritime business roads in the Danai family's territorial waters (Anyway, the Danai family will not block the straits in its own interests. Now it is just a small concession to the Luo family on the surface. In the view of the Danai family, this is a bit of a charity).
The navy forces of all parties shall not enter waters within ten miles of the coast of the territories of all parties, otherwise they will be deemed to have an automatic break of the agreement and will be subject to a full counterattack from the other party. The other parties shall not intervene in the camps of both parties in the conflict.
Maintaining the current situation in Iki Island, all forces are not allowed to enter Iki Island. (That is, on Iki Island, facing the Luo Family Hime Country, Ishida County on the side of the Tuoshima, Ishida County belonging to the Luo Family, and facing the Toma Island, Ouchi Family, the Danue Family, and Ishida County on the side of the Guanmen Strait are controlled by the Hado family. This treaty guarantees the territory in Ishida County newly occupied by the Luo Family, and also protects the Hishita Family, which is significantly weaker than the Hado family. In the future, this part of the territory on Iki Island will be temporarily handed over to the Hiki Family, and the Luo Family only needs to send some officials to enter.)
The Bodu family used the family of Ling Maid Ling's family to exchange for part of the Bodu family who was captured in Gumi City today. Rescuing the family of Juzi was the condition that Zhengliang persuaded Juzi to actively cooperate with the Luo family to carry out the spy plan. Zhengliang would not deceive a little girl, so he took the opportunity to make a move. As for the other party's request to exchange the same number of prisoners, Zhengliang also agreed. Anyway, after putting these people back, it was just a matter of increasing the other party's population that consumed food.
In addition to the agreement to negotiate peace, Mori Moon also took the opportunity to propose peace talks with the Luo family. The decision to seek peace talks with the Luo family was a long time ago, with the strong persuasion of Takeru Sara and Mori Moon, Yoshitaka Ouchi decided. Of course, according to the original plan, after defeating the Luo family in July, after defeating the Luo family's naval army to attack Iki Island, the Danai family took the opportunity to force the Luo family to join.
On the surface, the peace talks with the Luo family were to avoid the Danai family falling into the dilemma of fighting with the Nizi family and the Luo family at the same time. In secret, Maori Moto was to allow the Danai family to escape from the entanglement of the Luo family and provide more support to the Maori family. Of course, the current situation is different from the situation planned at the beginning. At least now, the water coalition of the Danai family has not defeated the Luo family's naval army. Instead, he was worried that after fighting with the Luo family's naval army, his side would also suffer major damage, so he temporarily held a peace talks. However, it would not be a bad thing to take the opportunity to reach a new peace talks with the Luo family alone.
Masara naturally didn't catch a cold about the proposed peace talks by Mori Motozu. After all, just last year, the Ouchi family had just torn up the peace talks signed with the Luo family and secretly attacked Hakata Port of the Luo family (of course, if Masara was replaced by Yoshitaka Ouchi at that time, he would have made a decision to tear up the agreement and take the opportunity to attack the Luo family).
But after calming down, he suddenly remembered the information about the internal situation of the Daou Family that Yamamoto Kansuke reported to him. Judging from the information, the Daou Family seemed to be in a little disagreement. Then Masara thought of the Daou Family's civil strife in history. If the civil strife still happened, then the Luo family should not put too much pressure on the Daou Family at this time. This will only allow the group of retainers who had already had cracks to temporarily unite against the Luo family. Instead, it is better to relax the pressure from the outside and let them collapse from the inside. At that time, the Luo family will get a lot of cheapness as long as they prepare in advance. Thinking of this, Masara finally agreed to the peace talks with the Daou Family.
