Chapter 832 The Three Evils of the Warring States Period
Zhengliang's reward order for searching Tao Long's house was also a hot commodity for those retainers and warriors who were abandoned by the master's family, but also for the rest of the people.
For those little tyrants, who were only about ten retainers and soldiers, the little tyrants and servants, they didn't know what the situation was now. Generally speaking, they would be basically swallowed up by more powerful tyrants soon. They were also very busy. Since that's the case, now there is a prosperous road like becoming a minister of the Luo family. So, you might as well seize the opportunity and start a new life. Anyway, as long as they are not dead, even if they lose their territory or even their bloodlines, they can still create new family careers in another place.
Finally, there are the ronin warriors and soldiers at the bottom. For them, this reward order is simply a super popular thing to change their life status. As long as they find Tao Longfang first, their lives will undergo earth-shaking changes immediately, so this group of people are the ones who care about this reward order the most.
Zhengliang also had the mentality of saving Tao Longfang as much as possible. With his help, the Luo family could not only quickly recruit many Tao family defeated soldiers on the island, but also quickly played a great role in Zhengliang's subsequent plans. Of course, all this was based on Tao Longfang's willingness to surrender to the Luo family. If Tao Longfang was unwilling to surrender, then don't blame Zhengliang for being ruthless.
This time, the reward order for searching Tao Longfang not only achieved the purpose of searching Tao Longfang, but also secretly promoted the fierce fighting between the forces on the island.
Influenced by the so-called "votes of the Ro family" that the Luo family called. In order to get rewards (mainly grain) from the Luo family and to get attention from the Luo family, many forces on the island that have surrendered the Luo family not only work together to attack those forces that are unwilling to surrender to the Luo family. Even where the Luo family did not notice, there will also be internal battles, and then the bodies of the defeated people were used as their claim. Moreover, the battle between them can not only reduce the strength of their power, but also further accelerate the consumption of their own reserved food. Without food, they are naturally more likely to be controlled by the Luo family's army.
Masayoshi naturally knew about such a thing, but he not only would not stop it, but he would even instigate it secretly. Because there were too many soldiers on the island, the Maori family and the Tao family had not yet died in battle (at least tens of thousands of people). Once they surrendered to the Luo family and the Luo family could not immediately believe them completely, they would naturally have to keep them on the Imai Island for the time being. Then the food consumed by these people every day would need to be provided by the Luo family. Even if they only provided them with porridge that could barely survive, they would consume a lot of the food reserved by the Luo family.
Of course, Zhengliang can also choose to ignore these guys and trap them to death on Yidao directly. But if these people have been cleaned up by the Luo family and initially gained the trust of the Luo family, they will play a lot of role in Zhengliang's next plan. So they cannot be abandoned.
Therefore, with the release of the Tao Longfang search reward order, the Maori family and the Tao family who had surrendered to the Luo family immediately went to various parts of Itsuo and searched for Tao Longfang.
In the evening, just as the search operation in Taolongfang was in full swing, Hunatong, who was responsible for patrolling the waters around Yan Island, suddenly sent someone to send an urgent report.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" After reading the urgent report, Zhengliang immediately said in surprise. It turned out that it was this afternoon, and the Hunatong fleet, who was patrolling, suddenly found a suspicious fleet of more than a dozen ships sailing nearby. The fleet immediately attracted Hunatong's attention, so he immediately ordered his fleet to siege the other party.
After being surrounded by the Luo Family Navy, the fleet also cooperated to accept the inspection of the Luo Family Navy. Although they claimed that they had accidentally entered the commercial fleet controlled by the Luo Family Navy, they could not deceive Hu Natong at all. Because he received a notice from the Intelligence Pavilion this morning, he learned that the Seto Inland Sea and Anyun Beach had completely fallen into the hands of the Luo Family Navy, so it was impossible for these ships who claimed to be merchant ships to enter the vicinity of Itsujima from the periphery at this time. The only analysis is that they were originally the Maori family or the Tao family navigator hiding in this area.
So under the severe torture of several interrogators who acted as executors, the crew of this fleet admitted that they were the Māori family's naval army. After they were responsible for sending Māori Mori and waiting for others to the coast of Anyiko last night, they had been ambushing in the nearby bay, preparing to approach Izumijima. According to Māori Mori's instructions, they attempted to pick up Māori Mori's third son Takake Kohayakawa, back to the coast of Anyiko.
"Haha, although there was only one big fish after Mori Mori left, but also the small fish of Takake Kozaki Takake Kozaki!" Masara couldn't help but be happy after learning that Takake Kozaki Takake Kozaki was still on Itsushima.
Kobayakawa Takake is a key figure in Kobayakake, the two-stop system in Mori's family. Whether it is capturing Kobayakakekekekekekeleke alive or killing Kobayakaketkeleke, it will be a huge blow to Maori's top (there will be a great pain of losing his son) and the Maori family. So Masara immediately issued a reward order to capture Kobayakaketkelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekelekele, no matter Kobayakawa Takakeleke's life and death, as long as he can send the body of the queen to the Luo family's ship, he can directly become the minister of the Luo family.
Once the news came out, it naturally triggered a wave of searching people among the forces on the island.
It was soon the morning of October 3. The first person who was brought to Masaragata was beaten to the point of being beaten to the bruised face. Speaking of which, he was also unlucky enough. After chasing Tao Longfang in the mountains and forests for a day and a night, he found that there was not enough people around him to continue searching Tao Longfang, so he ran out again, originally planning to recruit several Maori families to assist in the search.
The first team he encountered was to surrender to the Luo family's military force. Since Kobayakawa Takake had just emerged from the mountains and forests and didn't know the situation at this time, he really thought that the team he encountered was still his own family, so he immediately called them to move forward together.
The commander of the small wealthy army who was called was also very smart. After discovering the abnormality of Takake Kozaki, he immediately looked for an opportunity to find out the fact that Takakekoko Kozaki didn't know the outside world. So he immediately pretended to be the military force of the Maori family and continued to get along with Takakekoko Kozaki. On the one hand, he took advantage of the fact that Takakekoko Kozaki entered the mountains and spread the people out to search Tao Long's room, and immediately took action, gathered his military force that he pretended to go out to help search, and then surrounded Takakeko Kozaki and others.
Takake Kobayakawa is better at military strategy and internal affairs. As for martial arts, he is actually not as brave as Yoshikawa Motoharu. Even with dozens of guards' desperate protection, Takake Kobayakawa was eventually captured alive by the small wealthy army several times that they were prepared several times, and finally sent to Masara.
At this time, Takake Kobayashikawa had not yet reacted to the fact that the fruit of his victory in the battle against the Tao family was picked by the Luo family (on the way to the Luo family ship, the soldiers of the rich who had surrendered to the Luo family had explained the situation on the island to Takakekoko Kobayashikawa at this time), so even when they saw Masarara, they still had a dull expression. Masarara had to order people to take the people down and take good care of them.
After taking away Takake Kozakigawa, Masara also personally met with the leader of the young rich clan who captured Takakekoko Kozakigawa alive.
The leader of the little wealthy clan did not expect that this time he would be received by Zhengliang in person, so he came to Zhengliang with a little nervous and excited salutation:
"The villain met with the Luo family's fat house guard, Dazai Dae-yao, the repair doctor, Kyushu, and the Exploration of the Toshima Master Zhengliang."
"Are you Hideaki Togawa?" Masara asked with a smile after the leader of the little wealthy clan sat down.
Who is Togawa Hideaki? When it comes to Togawa Hideaki, we have to first mention the Ukita Nao family, who was collectively known as the "Three Evils of the Warring States Period" with Saito Domisan and Matsunaga Hide. The Ukita family is a branch of the former rich family Miyake family. He led Okishima, also known as Ukita or Ukita, and successively served and guarded the Akamatsu family and guarded the Daiura family. The Ukita Nao family was a conspirator second only to Saito Domisan in the Warring States Period. After decades of war, he obtained territory through marriage and assassination. He eventually defeated the main family and completely dominated the two countries of the United States. In history, when Oda and Maori fought against each other, he fell to the East Army in time, and before he died of illness, he entrusted his orphans to the Oda Army general Hidea Hashiba (later Toyotomi Hideaki), and asked him to take care of his son Ukita Hidea.
According to the information from the Intelligence Bureau, the Ukita Nao family had already ordered Ukiko Soke, the commander of the Fengura Korean family, and brought dozens of retainers to the Yizi Castle in the mouth of the Yoshikigawa River in the Beimaki. The Koshima County to the west of the Yizi Castle belongs to the Hosokawa family of Shikoku, and the Ukido County to the north belongs to the hostile Matsuda family. The pirates on the Seto Inland Sea often plunder the property of the civilian family, which can be said to be attacked on three sides. This fortress requires retainers to stay at home to assist the family to guard the fortress. However, what Masara wondered why Hideaki Togawa, one of the three elders of the Ukito family, appeared here in the future, and also participated in the Maori family's strategy on Itsuki Island?
