The "indiscriminate seizure" of Zhuangtian City lasted for two or three hours, accompanied by the wailing of children and women, hundreds of nearly a thousand people were taken captive, and blood, tears and wreckage covered every inch of the ground in the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, cruelty will bury countless potential enemies and hidden dangers for the conquerors, but taking the territory through storming is such a cruel thing in the first place. Even if the people in the city are pardoned with a merciful heart, the follow-up effect may not be very good, but it may be worse.

After all, this is a barbaric and chaotic pirate paradise, not the (relatively) rich and stable kingdom of Kinai.

It took a year for Hisho to take all sorts of roundabout ways to deal with the Izumi clan, weakening it step by step to the point where it was impossible to resist. But it can't be so simple when dealing with Awaji people who openly stand up and resist, and easy forgiveness will only be considered weakness, and not seeing a little blood will not deter the outlaws.

By the way, this indulgence also greatly strengthened the morale of the army, ensuring that the soldiers could immediately plunge into a new war. In fact, Zhuang Tiancheng is not very big, and it is estimated that only one-tenth of the lucky ones can gain from this "random take", but people's psychology is very magical, as long as they see some people around them get windfall income, they are convinced that they will be the next beneficiary.

That's how it is. The people at the bottom have always survived, and even if they are robbed, they are generally not their turn. The middle and lower class samurai worked tirelessly to injure each other, devouring each other's flesh and blood as trophies, hoping to seize the 1 in 10,000 chance to climb up.

And the lords at the top seem to be much happier anyway, even if they are defeated and die, they can have a decent way to die.

For example, Funakoshi Jingzhi was escorted intact to the military tent of Hirate Tsuhide, awaiting execution. He wore white clothes with loose hair, and there was not even any blood on his body, and his family was also under the care of him, and he was not raped.

According to the prior order, the "main culprits" and their immediate family members were to be beheaded, and they should have understood the risks when they raised their troops to resist. This is the most normal disposition, and no one will think that there is any cruelty in this regard.

Only Suga ran out and made a gesture of pleading, saying, "Supervisor, please listen to me, according to the pre-emptive statement, Funakoshi Jingzhi is not intent on opposing you, but just wants to delay the time of the cage as a condition for the negotiation of 'not conducting land seizures'. This person still has some iron cannon kung fu, so I think it is better to spare his life and let him serve the great cause of Oda Danzheng and make meritorious contributions. ”

This plea was a surprise to everyone.

In the final analysis, if Kan Dacho couldn't stand the stimulus and turned against him, why did Funakoshi Jingzhi fall so quickly? Now that you have come to be a good person, will people miss you? It's ridiculous.

Combined with the evaluation of "Awaji Lu Bu" a few days ago, it immediately reminds people of the allusion of "Yuanmen Shooting Halberd". At that time, Lu Bu self-righteously ran out to relieve Liu Bei, but he didn't know that he had already offended others to death, and it was useless to give this kindness, but he turned against Yuan Shu again.

Hiteju was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then laughed and said to Kan Dacho: "It depends on his own thoughts!" Since it is you who show mercy, I can spare his life and let him be your subordinate, but all the original territory will be confiscated. ”

The original words were conveyed to Funakoshi Keizhi. This guy gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't let go of his wife and children's lives, bowed his head and bowed to Hiratumui, and then bowed to Kan Dachang with a slightly lower courtesy to show his submission. Then he was immediately treated with a certain amount of courtesy and moved with his family to a spacious house.

This shows that although the ability to fight directly in the boat is average, he is a person who can bend and stretch.

But the next few people are less aware of the current affairs - or are they more disciplined? Tamura Nobuyharu and Takeda Hisada responded with a spit in the face of Suga Tatsunaga's solicitation, so the two wealthy families became a historical term. It is estimated that in a few hundred years, only historians will be able to find out their existence from the pile of old papers, and the average hobbyist will not know about it.

The two families of Shimada and Noguchi took the initiative to change their flags and surrender before the fall of the city, so they were verbally appeased by the tie Tsunohide, and there is no problem with their lives and family names, and the territory is also expected to keep a part, as for whether it is one-tenth or one-half, it depends on the follow-up performance.

Where there is a punishment, there is naturally a reward. Although the affairs of Antaku Nobuyasu are not pretty, his naval combat ability is still worth trusting, and he is relatively reliable, and more importantly - he is also the nephew of Miyoshi Changqing. Therefore, he still received a gift of 2,000 stones, and was ordered to move to Izumi and serve as the general of the water army in the tie. The six wealthy families who followed him also received a meeting gift of three or five hundred stones. The official pleadings have not been issued for a while, but the things that are decided by the tie and the show will be counted as long as no major changes occur.

But that raises an awkward question.

Awaji almost does not have the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Miyoshi family, and all of them are divided and ruled by twenty wealthy families. The territory confiscated from Funakoshi Jingzhi and others is estimated to be less than 15,000 stone in total, but he gave Antaku and others a reward of more than 4,000 stone in one go, so what about other meritorious officials? What about Kandacho, what do they do? It's impossible for Hijo to do voluntary labor himself, right?

In this regard, Heite Honhide's arrangement was: "When this is the matter, I will go back to Gifu Castle to report on my work, and Heiemon (Suga Dacho) will go to meet Oda Danmasa in person." ”

After the springboard of the tie, he became Oda Naotomi, and there are currently two people, Matsui Yukan and Tokuyama Norihide. Among them, the former is already Nobunaga's Youbi and Chatou, and the latter has just been promoted to the rank of general, and they all seem to have a bright future.

Kan may not have understood these things, but Hirate Xiuyi, who was sitting next to him, was very "enthusiastic" to help him explain, so he was overjoyed and carried away, and tons of sycophants who didn't want money came out of his mouth.

Sasa Narimasa, who couldn't see this, found an excuse to divert the topic and asked Hirate Hohide: "Lord Supervisor, do you mean that after pacifying Awaji, do you want to continue to march into Shikoku?" ”

This question hit the heart of everyone and immediately made the atmosphere serious.

The strategy Awalu is so smooth, which is inseparable from the infighting of the Miyoshi family. In order to overthrow the "Shikoku faction" led by Shinohara Nagabo, the members of the Miyoshi family and the "Kinai faction" did not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies and leak military information, and sent two envoys before and after.

Although the two envoys also have a lot of false and exaggerated accounts, the key points seem to be quite reliable, such as prompting the surrender of Atakaku, citing information about the involvement of the Mori family, and explaining the plight of Shinohara Nagabo, explaining why his army is unwilling to move.

Up to now, aside from the tidal hand, several other high-ranking generals who can participate in the military discussion seem to be inclined to believe in the three good ones as the mainstream. There are also conservatives like Nine Ghost Jialong, but they are not very popular.

And the other party's envoy, Miyoshi Nagatoshi, every time they meet, they are tactfully urging to enter Shikoku as soon as possible, and they should cooperate with each other to bring down Shinohara Nagabo. The generals also think that this is a good opportunity, and it is a pity to let it go.

Oda Nobunaga had written a few days ago, and he was more concerned about the strategy of Awaji and securing shipping, and he did not pay much attention to Shikoku. But Ashikaga Yoshiaki, on his side, had high hopes and hoped to enter the Awa country and capture or seek the "pseudo-princess" Ashikaga Yoshiei.

In other words, if you want to attack Shikoku, you can't count on the help of Oda's army, and only Ashikaga's ethereal political appeal can be borrowed. But on the other hand, it also means that once the territory is conquered, Nobunaga will not intervene much, and he can occupy it freely.

Therefore, it is understandable that the nine ghosts Jialong, who has the shallowest relationship with the Pingshou family, is reluctant to send troops.

Faced with a pair of expectant or suspicious eyes, Pingshou Fanxiu stroked his beard and did not answer directly, but recited an allusion: "People are not satisfied, both Pinglong, looking back at Shu, every soldier, the head and temples are white." ”

A group of semi-literate people present looked at each other at a loss, as if listening to a book from heaven, and the few who had heard of this term did not know the context. Only Zuo Zuo, who is familiar with the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", should be harmonious and said: "I understand it below." After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu defeated Kuihuan, he fought non-stop against Gongsun Shu, and repeatedly suffered setbacks, leaving a stable foundation. After Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, surrendered to Zhang Lu, he failed to defeat Liu Bei in Hanzhong, and later the Northern Expedition of Ji and Han almost made Longyou no longer owned by Wei. The Warden gave this example, that is, we should take advantage of Miyoshi's weakness to chase after and fight hard, otherwise when the internal strife is over, it will in turn threaten Awaji and even Izumi, and we will never have peace. ”

After his explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

After discussing it for so many days, the points that should be said have been said, and now that the leaders have made up their minds, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Keiji immediately asked excitedly, "Uncle! So, are we going to Awa right about to fight the main force of the Miyoshi family? ”

Fan Xiu shook his head, knocked on the floor, and said, "It's too unwise to run across the sea." Our army is to bypass Awa and land at Nishisanuki to attract the army of Shinohara-Nagabo to come and implement the strategy of encirclement and reinforcement. ”

"Huh?" Keiji was puzzled, "Nishisanuki doesn't seem to have any particularly important strongholds, right?" ”

"It's not the stronghold that matters, it's the hearts and minds that matter." "According to the internal information, the people of Nishisanuki Province obeyed the order of Shinohara-nagabo and went on the expedition, but they were very dissatisfied with the military service and their morale was low. If these people's territory is attacked, Shinohara's Nagabo will have to make a support posture in order to maintain people's hearts. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized again, or pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

Then Tie Tsushu began to order: "Nine ghosts and two houses, please organize a fleet immediately, and be sure to reach a carrying capacity of more than 5,000 people." Led by Iwa, Terada, Kasai, Matsuyama, and Saga immediately reorganized their armies and marched into Sanuki as the vanguard. ”

This pioneer arrangement was deliberately chosen. Dr. Terada An and Saga Zhong both have a lot of blood feuds with Miyoshi, and their eyes are red when they meet, and their fighting spirit is the strongest. Miyoshi's former ministers will have a certain understanding of Sanuki's terrain.

As for Iwanari Friendship, his performance during the period of relocation was initially recognized, so he was further assigned a more important role.

The beauty of this arrangement is that even if something happens and all the above-mentioned people are wiped out, the tie will not suffer much loss, but there will be benefits. This is not an outsider.
