Two days later, at noon, Bai Feng, who personally commanded the army, arrived at the Langgang Imperial Palace, at this time, the defenders of the Langoka Imperial Palace were less than 700 people, and the peasants who had been mobilized earlier had all returned to their respective homes, and the number of prisoners in the city was as high as more than 7,000.
Kanehei Tsunori, who voluntarily laid down his arms and surrendered, was imprisoned by Ivan in the castle tower of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace, and was imprisoned with Kanehei Tsunade and Numata Yumitsumi and Morioka Nobumoto.
The Tsugaru family's most trusted military advisor Numata Yumitsu, known as the ministers of the Tsugaru family's humerus, are now all prisoners of the Yanhuang family;
The day before Hakumine led his army to the Nangaoka Imperial Palace, Wendell had already led the cavalry troops to Ishikawa Castle of the Tsugaru family under the order of Hakumine;
Because all orders are conveyed by the battlefield ghost, before leaving, Wendell also reported the surrender conditions of Kanehei Tsunade to Bai Feng in detail through the battlefield ghost;
Compared to the lives of the soldiers of the Yanhuang family, the life and death of Tsugaru Weixin alone is not worth mentioning at all, and in Bai Feng's opinion, since the Yanhuang family can defeat the Tsugaru family, who rules a quarter of the Mutsu Kingdom, there is still any need to worry about what Tsugaru Weixin can do alone?
Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is only a way to eliminate hidden dangers, and the so-called hidden dangers are just floating clouds in the face of absolute strength. In order to establish the good reputation of the Yanhuang family, Kanehei Gangnori's conditions were recognized by Bai Feng, and he agreed to give Tsugaru a way to live.
Of course, Bai Feng gave Tsugaru a way out of his life based on certain premises, and he had to make sure that Tsugaru did not affect the Yanhuang family's rule over the territory of the former Tsugaru family, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to agree to leave Tsugaru as a letter.
Wendell was sent to lead the cavalry to besiege Ishikawa Castle in order to trap Tsugaru Noshin in Ishikawa Castle, and only after Hakumine had dealt with the affairs of the Nangang Imperial Palace and Fukushima Castle would he finally deal with Ishikawa Castle and completely eliminate the influence of the Tsugaru family.
"Ivan, this time you performed even better than I imagined, if it weren't for you to turn the tide, I'm afraid it would not be so easy for our Yanhuang family to win;
"Lord, the matter of Langgang Xianfan......"
"I know all about Langgang Xianfan, and what you did was right. Before Ivan could finish speaking, Bai Feng, who was smiling lightly, continued in an extremely indifferent tone: "A person like him at both ends of the snake, even if you don't kill him, I won't let him go!"
"Okay, the past is over, and the family of Nanoka Xianfan will be treated favorably by our family, and all the things that shouldn't be known will end here. While there is no one now, you might as well tell me about the three captives who were imprisoned, how are they?"
"My lord, except for Kanehei Tsunori, who was forced to surrender by General Wendell, Numata Yumitsu and Morioka Nobumoto were both knocked out and captured by me; ”
"It's not that they're calm, it's that it's useless for them to escape, and with the defeat of Hattori's Yasujo army and Kanepei's army, the Tsugaru clan is one step away from destruction, where else can they flee?"
"My lord, then what should we do with these captured Tsugaru family retainers?"
"It's very simple, if you are willing to surrender to our Yanhuang family, take them to Sanhe City and let them become the retainers of our Yanhuang family, and if you are not willing to surrender to our Yanhuang family, then let them quietly go to another world to continue to be loyal to the Tsugaru family. ”
"Yes! The Shadow Slayer is always the Governor's hidden knife in the night. ”
The conversation with Ivan was only a small episode of Bai Feng leading the army into the Langgang Imperial Palace, and other more important matters still needed to be dealt with by Bai Feng; the remaining defenders in the Langgang Imperial Palace were all incorporated into the army of Jiuhe Kangzhen, and officially became the soldiers of the Yanhuang family.
Among the more than 7,000 soldiers of the Tsugaru family who were captured, more than 4,000 peasant soldiers were directly released on the spot by Bai Feng's order, and the remaining 3,000 Tsugaru family standing troops and the 3,000 Tsugaru family soldiers originally controlled by the Namioka Imperial Palace were escorted to the wild border dungeon by the governor's guard.
All the soldiers of the Tsugaru family's standing army will become the reserve force of the regular army of the Yanhuang family after the demise of the Tsugaru family, and these experienced veterans are undoubtedly better supplementary soldiers than the newly recruited young and strong, and they are also the potential military strength of the Yanhuang family.
Bai Feng originally did not report any confidence in the persuasion of Kanepei Tsunori, Numata Yumitsu, and Morioka Nobumoto, because he believed that it would definitely be impossible for these three people to easily surrender to the Yanhuang family; the reason why he personally persuaded them to surrender was just to make a gesture.
In fact, the persuasion of Kanepei Tsunade and the other three went even more smoothly than Bai Feng imagined, and Numata Yumitsu, who was the military advisor of the Tsugaru family, became the first important minister of the Tsugaru family to surrender to the Yanhuang family, and then Kanehei Tsunade and Morioka Nobumoto also surrendered to the boat.
In the final analysis, Bai Feng still didn't know enough about the laws of war in the Yamato Empire; for the upper echelons of the Yamato Empire, who were accustomed to the law of the jungle, their loyalty was dedicated to the strong, and once the old lord became history, they would not refuse to be loyal to the new master.
In any case, the surrender of Numata Yumitsu and the others is a good thing for the Yanhuang family, and these important ministers of the former Tsugaru family have all defected to the Yanhuang family, and the Yanhuang family's acceptance of the area ruled by the former Tsugaru family will also become smooth.
The day after he persuaded Numata Yumitsu and the others to surrender, Hakumine began to divide his troops into two directions: he himself continued to march to Ishikawa Castle with the Guards Battalion and the Yanhuang Standing Army, while Yasuma Kunohe led his army to Fukushima Castle and was responsible for taking Fukushima Castle, which was an empty castle.
Judging from the current situation, in about four days, the originally divided Michinoku Kingdom will be unified under the rule of the Yanhuang family, and the Shiba and Tsugaru families, which had previously competed for hegemony in the country, will also become part of the history of Mutsu Kingdom.
At this time, Bai Feng also had a new choice in his heart for the future commander of the Yanhuang family's Ishikawa City Defense District; since the Gaoshuisi City Defense District could be handed over to Sanada Masayuki and Iwashimsu Yoshikyo, then the Ishikawa City Defense District could naturally be managed by many people.
It is not impossible for one or two people to be in charge of the military affairs of the Ishikawa Castle Defense District, but the Yanhuang family lacks such talents, and the ability to have qualifications is insufficient, and the qualifications that can be able are insufficient, and this situation forces Bai Feng to adopt a new method to appoint his retainers.
