When the gates of the Funai Pavilion were opened, the Maori army cheered wildly. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this battle, they fought for two years, and now, everything is finally over. Although in order to prevent problems such as war weariness and agricultural busyness, the Mori Yuan resorted to various means to deal with these things, and at the same time constantly replaced the troops involved in the war. But apparently, for two years, the Maori army had reached the peak of exhaustion. If the war hadn't been going well, I'm afraid they would have been in trouble a long time ago.

But even so, the pressure on Motoharu Yoshikawa and Takakei Kobayakawa is very high. Thankfully, it's all over now.

"But why don't I feel relaxed at all?" Motoharu Yoshikawa said strangely to Takashi Kobayakawa.

"Me too, perhaps, because we're about to face the most powerful Oda family in the world?" Kobayakawa Takashi shrugged his shoulders and replied in a somewhat helpless tone. "But at least, we still have half a year to a year to rest, don't we?"

"Will the Oda family give us such a long time?" Yoshikawa Motoharu asked worriedly. If you want to completely control the territory of the Otomo family, half a year is the minimal. And you have to beware of the attitude of the Ryuzoji family.

"Uesugi and Takeda will help us buy time, and if I were Oda Nobunaga, I wouldn't be the first to attack. You must know that they are now carrying out the reform of the separation of peasants and soldiers, and the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will actually be to them. Takakei Kobayakawa explained with a smile.

After saying that, Kobayakawa Takakei couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "The advantage that occupying brings to the Oda family is really too great, there is a large population, a thriving economy, skilled craftsmen, and excellent talents...... In addition, Mino and Owari, two major grain-producing countries, as well as continuous trade with the Ming Kingdom......"

"If it drags on like this for 10 years, we can just admit defeat and submit." Kobayakawa Takakei shook his head and smiled bitterly. Population, economy, and cultural heritage, it is difficult for places outside of to really catch up with after countless years.

"So, it's us, not the Oda family, who should be in a hurry?" Yoshikawa Motoharu touched his chin and asked in surprise, obviously he had some difficulty accepting Kobayakawa Takakei's words. A group of forces besieges a force, but it is that group of forces that is in a hurry......

"Alright, don't worry about these things, my father must have a plan in mind. The only thing we have to do now is to deal with the affairs of the Otomo family as soon as possible and go back to our lives as soon as possible. Kobayakawa Takashi patted Yoshikawa Motoharu on the shoulder and said.

"Uh...... That's what you should say, right? I'm definitely going to return to Anyun with Otomo Sorin. Yoshikawa Motoharu paused for a moment, scratched his head and said, while showing a look that he must not trouble me. That look suddenly made Kobayakawa Takashi angry and funny.

But then, as Motoharu Yoshikawa said, he had to go back. After all, as Otomo Zonglin, it is impossible to let other people be in charge of escorting, and it is obviously unrealistic to let Maori Motoharu come over in person, so he can only run Yoshikawa Motoharu himself.

And Kobayakawa Takakei must stay in Bungo to deal with the aftermath, after all, although Otomo Sorin's submission, there are quite a few things to deal with.

On the same day, Motoharu Yoshikawa led Otomo and his entourage, as well as troops from various Chinese countries, to embark on the return ship.

By the way, Otomo Sorin, who is also very single, after surrendering, directly took his eldest son Otomo Yoshitomi, as well as the retainer Toji Kanren, the two sons of the retainer Yoshihiro Kenri, Yoshihiro Zhenxin and Yoshihiro Zhenli, and the son of the heavy minister Usuki Kensu Usuki Tongjing and others boarded the ship to Zhoufang together.

Hawkers,Maybe it's really a little frustrated by the surrender of Otomo Sorin.,Known as the three elders of Bungo.,The three absolute ministers who have served the Otomo family since the Otomo Yoshikan era.,Yoshioka Nagamasasu、Yoshihiro Kanri and Usuki Kansu all announced their official seclusion on the day of surrender.,Passed the position of family patriarch to his son.。

And in this regard, neither Otomo Sorinor nor Kobayakawa Takakei have any opinions. In fact, for the Maori family, it is better for these three to abdicate, after all, their influence in Fenggo is not ordinary, and they are all rare excellent samurai, if they really have any ideas, then the Maori family must always be vigilant on the Kyushu side.

Changfu City.

"Your Highness Otomo, I beg your pardon for not being able to personally go to the Funachi Pavilion to accept your submission." Mao Liyuan said apologetically.

"His Royal Highness Maori is serious." Otomo Sorin said respectfully.

Nodding, Mao Liyuan smiled and said, "Your Highness Otomo, since you have surrendered to the family, then in the future, please continue to use your talents in the Bungo as an important minister of the family." ”

Hearing this, Otomo Zonglin said in a deep voice without changing his face, "I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse." He is already preparing to pass on the position of governor to his eldest son, Yoshitomi, and hopes that His Royal Highness Maori will agree. ”

"This ......" Mao Liyuan heard Otomo Zonglin's words, and his face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, as if he was very surprised by Otomo Zonglin's decision. However, behind Otomo Sorin, the expressions of Toji Kenren and the others were very calm, because they had already guessed this result before they set off.

In fact, the reason why Yoshioka Nagazen and others lived in seclusion was also because of such a reason. There was nothing wrong with being defeated and surrendering to the enemy, but the governor lost all his fighting spirit and was ready to go into seclusion, which was something that Yoshioka Nagazen and others could not accept. After all, the three of them were already very old, and they simply didn't have the time or energy to train an excellent family governor.

There was silence in the room, and no one in the Otomo family spoke, all waiting for Mori Motosa's decision. After a long while, Mao Liyuan sighed in a low voice, "Your Highness Otomo, since you have made up your mind, then I am not good at making it difficult for others." I don't know if there's anything you need my help with, but if so, please feel free to ask. ”

Hearing this, Otomo Sorin said directly without thinking about it, "If you can, you want to change your faith and throw yourself into the arms of God......

“！！！” In a word, Toji Kanren and the others all looked at Otomo Zonglin in shock, obviously they didn't expect Otomo Zonglin to say such a thing at all.

And Mao Liyuan naturally didn't expect it, he lost his mind slightly, and Mao Liyuan smiled and said, "I see, I understand, please rest assured, I won't object." In addition, if you need it, we will help you establish a church, and we will not oppose the Catholic mission in Bungo. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" When Otomo Zonglin heard this, he said again respectfully, and his voice was neither happy nor sad.
