Chapter 445: Parting Words
The Mori family had no navy, and the Seto Inland Sea independence faction such as the Murakami navy was also annexed by the Hosokawa family, leaving the entire Iyo country in a state of isolation.
The head of the Iyo Kono family, Kono Tsunao, is only a fourteen-year-old child, and his adoptive father is the previous governor Kono Tsunobu, and his biological father is Kuraishima Tsuyasu, who entered the Kono family with his widowed mother, and is the fourth in the Kurojima family.
At present, they have four brothers, and the eldest has to live in a well-known family and be in charge of the Kono family's navy; The second Laijima Tong inherited the Kurishima family, in charge of the Kurishima Naval Army, was defeated and captured in the Seto Inland Sea that year, and now serves as the general of the Hosokawa Naval Army; The third Murakami Tongqing has been following his second brother Tongzong, after Tongzong entered the Hosokawa family, he stayed on the island to take care of the territory, and when Murakami Buji wanted to resist the Hosokawa family, he was the one who took the lead in the confrontation.
Today's Hosokawa army attacked all the way, like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, and smashed all the branches of the Kono family one by one, and Uma , Shini, Shufu, Kume, Hot Springs, Waki County and others were occupied one by one, and finally entered Kazahaya County and surrounded Yuzuki Castle, the home city of the Kono family.
Then half of the army was left to surround it, and the rest of the troops turned around and continued to attack Higashiiyo's Ukika, Iyo, Kita, Uwa-gun, etc., eradicating the Kono family's retainers and vassal nobles one by one, and the bloody methods made Kono, who was still in the city, shudder.
"My lord, I want to ask to see you." In the military tent, Honda is in the letter to proclaim.
"Well, let him in." Hosokawa Nobumoto was sitting bored in the tent, and when he heard that Kurishima always wanted to see him, he motioned for him to come in.
"The subordinate Daotong always pays a visit to the lord!" As soon as Mr. Kurishima came in, he stepped forward and knelt on the ground to salute.
"Mr. Tong, but what's going on on the sea?" Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, it stands to reason that there will only be his Hosokawa family's navy on the sea now, and the Maori navy has long been wiped out, could it be the Otomo navy? Or is Murakami's water army backing?
"Back to my lord, the sea is calm and calm, and there is no hostile situation." Mr. Kurishima replied with a low head that he and Ataka Nobuyasu are now in charge of half of the water army, and the commander of the water army, Murakami Motoyoshi, married Asai Chacha after returning to Kyoto, and is now on his honeymoon at home.
"Is that something?" Looking at the seventeen-year-old general, Hosokawa Nobumoto asked gently, he usually likes to teach this group of people.
"My lord... That one... The elder brother and younger brother of the subordinates... Well... It's all in Kono's house... The subordinates thought..."The general branch of Laidaotong hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't dare to speak."
"Are you trying to persuade you to surrender?" As soon as Hosokawa Nobumoto heard this, he knew what he was thinking.
"Yes..."Lai Dao always lowered his head, originally he didn't want to touch the lord's moldy head, but seeing the destruction of the city along the way, if his brother does not surrender, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the doom.
"Your brother is a good luck in the Kono Water Army, right?" As for the details of the retainers, Hosokawa Nobumoto has long known it and has found it clearly.
"Yes..."Mr. Kurishima looked at the lord with a pair of longing eyes, looking forward to the following words.
"I can allow my family to surrender and keep my territory." This kind of little wealthy family is not in the eyes of Hosokawa Nobumoto, sparing his life is just a small matter of raising his hand, if it can be exchanged for the gratitude of his subordinates, why not do it.
"Thank you, Lord for your kindness! Thank you for your kindness! "Tsuri Shima always kowtowed excitedly.
"But your brother Kono is straight... Because he is the head of the Kono family, I will not allow him to remain in Iyo Province. Well... Let him go to Shodoshima to retire, where the scenery is beautiful and the environment is good. "Hosokawa Nobumoto has already planned to classify Iyo Province as a direct leader, so he bloodily cleaned up the local wealthy clans along the way.
"Raise... Pension? Kurishimatsu's eyes widened in surprise, his brother was only fourteen this year.
"Mr. Tong! Be mindful of what you say and do! Honda Masanobu suddenly scolded, and was so shocked that Mr. Kurashima hurriedly lay on the ground, eager to stick his head into the ground.
"That's... Add a free Las Vegas gamble... This... Okay, right? Hosokawa Nobumoto lazily added.
"Don't dare! Can't! Can't! The subordinates know that they are wrong! Wrong! At this time, Mr. Kurishima was already so frightened that his legs were weak, his head was full of sweat, and his back was already soaked.
"That's it... The fault of the country is not him, let's reseal, well... By the way, let him go to Shiraku-gun in Mikawa. "It's impossible for Iyokuni to let Kono stay any longer, and Hosokawa Nobumoto thought of a good place.
Didn't Tokugawa Ieyasu just marry Nobuyasa Okuhira, then I'll turn Kono Shunao over and let them be companions. If Tong Zhi is dissatisfied with me in the future and intends to rebel, then he will directly eradicate them together. If it is a straightforward acquaintance, you can suppress Xinchang.
"Huh? Thank you, Lord! Thank you, my lord! Suddenly, I heard that it could be resealed, as if I saw the blue sky through the clouds, and I cried with joy when I came to the island.
"But! You can't tell me what I want to do! Let him surrender unconditionally! Even the consciousness of doing a good job of seppuku! I'll let Yahachiro go with you! Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly said sharply, and the dementor's eyes were so stunned that Mr. Kurishima was immediately paralyzed with fright, and he fell from the sky into the bottomless abyss again.
"Yes..."Kurishima stood at the door of the tent in a daze, not knowing how he got out, his body was crooked, and he almost fell.
"Come to the island, slow down." Honda Masanobu came out of it and happened to hold him.
"Thank you, Master Soldier!" Mr. Laijima was already cold in his hands and feet, and his face turned pale.
"Then let's go." Honda Masanobu spoke.
"Oh, good, good." Mr. Kurishima is still apprehensive, and he walks forward with a swing.
"Lord Laidao, let's go to the house first? Or Konoya? Honda Masanobu walked side by side with him and turned to ask.
"But it's up to the military master." Coming to the island to pass the total one owe, to the local faith as the right messenger.
"Then let's go to the house first, if the Kono Navy Army does not surrender, I am afraid that the Kono will be lucky." Honda Masanobu seems to have planned it for a long time.
"Okay, then let's go home." Kuraishima always nodded and went, no objections.
"In that case, this Kono Navy will not go there, and it will be left to you. Laijima-sama, when you're done, come back and meet up with Zaisa, and let's go to Kono's house together. Walking to the gate of the main camp, Honda Masanobu suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Don't you go home with the military advisor? "I'm always a little surprised when I come to the island.
"Laijima-sama, I will send you a farewell word. The lord will not care if he has to surrender at home or not, the key is the Kono family, if you don't want their family name to be destroyed, the key is the attitude of the three of you. Honda Masanobu smiled kindly.
Mr. Laidaotong tasted it carefully a few times, as if he understood something, and solemnly saluted: "Thank you for the reminder, Master Soldier, I am leaving!" With that, he walked away quickly.
Honda Masanobu smiled and watched Mr. Kurishima walk away, and when he turned around, he returned to Hosokawa Nobumoto's account.
