Shimazu Takahisa's death reminded Masarashi of the two people he had met in the past, Mrs. Hakume and Tachibana Michiyuki.

After the defeat and the defeat of the Luo family's army and the escape to Iki Island, Mrs. Hakumei tried to marry her by some powerful retainers who took advantage of the weakening of her power, so as to seize the dominant position of the Hakuka family.

Tachibana Michiyuki, on the other hand, was martyred to express his loyalty to the Otomo family, which is a kind of loyal death, and Tachibana Michiyuki expresses his loyalty to the Otomo family. However, in Masaara's view, this is another foolish death, at least the suicide of Tachibana Michiyuki, but it represents a great blow to the Otomo family's surrender to some of the retainers of the Luo family, and Tachibana Michiyuki also left a young daughter, in order to appease the retainers of the Otomo family who had just surrendered to the Luo family, he had to forcibly name the daughter of Tachibana Michiyuki, and designated that he would inherit the territory of the Tachibana family in Chikuzen National Hanaso when he grew up, Became the governor of the Tachibana family (now this famous female general in history who was born early because of the appearance of Masayo, is a member of the Onihime team of Masayo's daughter Mihime).

It's just that the suicide of the above two people is different from the suicide of Shimazu Takahisa, especially the father of Shimazu Takahisa, who was also designated as a hostage by Masatsu Takahisa, Shimazu Tadaya, after reading Shimazu Takahisa's body and suicide note, he also committed suicide in the evening of the same day, and the content of the suicide note left behind is almost the same as that of Shimazu Takahisa.

How could such a strange move not make Masahiro feel suspicious?

"So, what exactly are these two people going to do?"

"Let everyone in the Shimazu family fight to the death with the Luo family because of this? Judging from the suicide notes of these two people and their previous actions. Obviously, the other side did not intend to do so. There is even an intention to avoid conflict with the Luo family. ”

In fact, Zhengliang didn't know it. It was precisely because of Shimazu's series of decisions and surrender to the Luo family that the Shimazu family was dissatisfied with this, and a rift appeared within the Shimazu family. And the Shimazu family Guijiu would rather commit suicide to vent the dissatisfaction of the Shimazu family in the hearts of the Shimazu family in order for Shimazu Yoshihisa and others to be able to take charge of the entire family, and at the same time unify the determination of the Shimazu family to avoid seeking opportunities to split the Shimazu family in the future. And suicide can also avoid being used by the Luo family as a tool to control the Shimazu family because they are hostages of the Luo family. In addition, both Shimazu Takahisa and Shimazu Tadaya have a deeper purpose, but this point is analyzed by Masashi:

"Could it be to increase the hatred of the Shimazu family against the Roche family in their hearts? Heh, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the hatred of the other party will inevitably not be less, and as long as the Luo family continues to be strong, there will naturally be some people in the other party's family who realize that the strength of the Luo family is inevitable, and sooner or later someone will approach the Luo family. ”

"It's just that I always feel that the death of these two people is more than that."

"By the way, both of them wrote in their suicide notes that they would be buried near the Soji Temple of the Shimazu family in Satsuma after their deaths, hehe. I see, and now I understand what they mean. It's really ruthless enough. ”

As long as the two of them are buried in Satsuma, no matter how far away the Shimazu family is from the Minami-Kyushu region, the tombstones of these two people will be erected like a stone tablet in the hearts of these people, not only to unify the minds of these people, but also to make these people always have a desire to return to Minami-Kyushu.

The most hateful thing is that these two people still used their deaths to force Zhengliang to agree to this request in their suicide note. Otherwise, once Zhengliang refuses, it will give the world an impression of brutality and unfaithfulness (although these two committed suicide and did not become hostages of the Luo family according to the agreement, but after all, they are dead, who wants to die casually?). Therefore, whether the death of the two of them can naturally win the sympathy of the world is more in place of fulfilling the agreement between the two as hostages), affecting the reputation and credibility of the Luo family (don't underestimate these two things, they can make the Luo family more smoothly negotiate and form alliances with other forces, can recruit more famous generals, ronins and people, can more easily stand on the side of righteousness, and take the initiative to launch an invasion of others, etc.).

"It's disgusting!"

After realizing this problem, Masahiro couldn't help frowning and muttering to himself. He really gave Shimazu Takahisa a pit this time, he didn't expect Shimazu Takahisa to commit suicide at all, originally he sent Shimazu Takahisa back to the Shimazu family's territory, in order to make the Shimazu family more at ease to evacuate the southern Kyushu region and move to the Shikoku region, but he didn't expect that Shimazu Takahisa would now give him such a trouble.

However, Masara is not a vegetarian, he reacted quickly, in order to avoid the Shimazu family from causing him some trouble even if he goes to the Shikoku region, Masara decided to promote Shimazu Yoshihiro, who has followed him for many years, to the position of the governor of the Shimazu family, as for the newly appointed governor Shimazu Yoshihisa?

Hehe, didn't you Shimazu Takahisa and Shimazu Tadaya order that I had to let you be buried in Satsuma in the name of righteousness? In the name of righteousness, I will also send your son-in-law to keep filial piety for you, and not only that, but also other members of Shimazu Takahisa's family and those important former Shimazu family members who are willing to follow the Shimazu family to the Shikoku region, some of their clansmen and family members will also migrate to Satsuma to keep filial piety (in fact, as hostages).

As for whether this will lead to a revolt by the Shimazu family? This is in line with the good intentions of the government! Now that they have begun to transfer their feuds, the military and the retainers have been divided between the southern Kyushu and Shikoku regions, and if they are willing to take the initiative to tear up the agreement with the Luo family against the general righteousness, Masara will also be happy to take the opportunity to destroy the Shimazu family directly.

However, Masahiro's attempt was obviously about to fail, and Shimazu Yoshihisa seemed to see Masayo's intentions, and even suppressed the dissatisfaction of the Shimazu family, and agreed to Masayo's request very shamefully.

"No wonder the Shimazu family has survived for so long." Zhengliang, who got this reply, could only sigh helplessly.

Although it seems that Masahiro is breathing a sigh of relief and taking advantage of a little advantage, in fact, Masahiro still suffers. After all, he couldn't prevent Takahisa Shimazu and Tadara Shimazu from being buried in the Satsuma area, thus unifying the minds of the Shimazu family. And set a goal. What's more, since it is "keeping filial piety", there is naturally a time limit, and if Masahara can't think of any other way to leave Shimazu Yoshihisa and others in the future, they will still leave. However, Masarashi had already planned to put the matter aside for the time being and leave it for later consideration, and now he was going to go to Shimizu Castle to attend the funeral of Takahisa Shimazu and Tadaya Shimazu in person.

Since the two rats used death to calculate Masa's hand, Masara also planned to pretend to be a cat and go to their spiritual position to fake mercy, in order to add a little prestige to himself.

In the second year of Yongroku, in the middle of August.

At the Koshiyama Temple near Shimizu Castle in Satsuma Province, southern Kyushu, cherry blossoms are in full bloom at this time. Yoshihiro Shimazu hurried under the cherry blossom trees with a heavy heart. He was already annoyed enough to be suddenly promoted to the position of governor of the Shimazu family by his brother and the lord Masahiro, and now the lord is still preparing to come to pay homage to his father and grandfather today, and with the current attitude of the retainers in the family towards the lord, he is really a little worried that something will happen.

At this time, the clansmen of the Shimazu family had already gathered in the main hall. Shimazu Yoshihiro nervously twisted his handballs and was led to the side of the main seat, as for the main seat, it was naturally left to the Luo family governor Luo Masara, who was already nominally the Shimazu family at this time.

The little monk of Shoushan Temple lit incense candles and smoked incense. Soon the abbot monk walked out, and behind him were monks gathered from all over the world. There were more than 400 people. The spacious main hall was crowded with people, and the solemn chanting sound immediately sounded.

At this time, Zhengliang was wearing a black suit, and the famous knife and ghost cut on his waist finally arrived. Yoshihiro Shimazu, dressed in a brand-new mourning dress, immediately greeted Masahiro respectfully. After Zhengliang returned the salute, he did not speak, but sat directly on the main seat.

In fact, he didn't need to speak at all today, just coming to the scene was enough. Although most of the Shimazu retainers were naturally very dissatisfied when they saw him at this time, it is also possible that some of them will have a better feeling about Masarashi in terms of the posture he showed at this time. This was the first step in splitting the Shimazu family.

Moreover, as soon as today's incident comes out, Masara and the Luo family he represents behind him will be praised and recognized by the people in Minami Kyushu, especially the former Shimazu family's territory, which has provided some help for the Luo family to accept the South Kyushu region, and has enhanced the prestige of Masara himself and the Luo family.

At this time, a monk got up and went to Masahiro's side and said, "Please Dazai Shuai, repair doctor, Kyushu probe Masayo Gong incense."

As soon as the monk's voice fell, Masato suddenly felt several murderous eyes coming from behind him, but Masato was expressionless, anyway, the guards of the temple at this time were all from the Luo family, and everyone who participated in the funeral, except for Masa, the rest were not allowed to carry weapons, in this situation, even if these Shimazu retainers behind him besieged Masahiro, Masara was able to kill these people with the ghost cut on his waist and his own martial arts.

After slowly coming to the front of the spiritual seat, Masarashi stood there with a handful of incense in his hand, looking at the spiritual position of Shimazu Takahisa and Shimazu Tadaya with fixed eyes, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: "Two of you, please watch, sooner or later, the Shimazu family will completely surrender to the Luo family." ”
