"Peace?"

On the ship of Ming Guofu on the sea outside Iki Island, Masayo, who was preparing for a fierce battle with the combined naval forces of the Ouchi family, the Hakata family, and the Sojia family, received a proposal from the other party.

Masahiro originally wanted to reject the other party's suggestion, but after thinking about it, he had to think about it again. Obviously, the other party has chosen to negotiate peace now, and it is just because there is suddenly a huge lucky ship in the Luo family's naval camp at this time. The other party also didn't want to fight with the Luo family's water army, resulting in large losses.

What happens if you reject the other party? First of all, it is likely that a big war will start between the two sides. It's just that if that's the case, will the Luo family's navy really be able to defeat the other party? At this time, the Luo family's navy had a total of more than 180 ships and a Ming Guofu ship that had just come to support the guest. On the other hand, there are more than 300 ships close to 400 ships.

In terms of troops, the situation of the other party cannot be known for the time being, and on the Luo family's side, because a part of the peasant soldiers were left to guard Gumi City, which had just been captured this morning, before leaving, the number of troops was not very large. And as a result of the afternoon series of pursuits, many of the soldiers were exhausted. And the opponent's Ouchi family and the Zong's navy are all teachers who work instead of easy.

The most depressing thing is that because the most relied on powerful weapons Iron Cannon and Roasted Jade are greatly reduced in such weather, if it really starts, it can really only be a broadside battle. And the broadside battle is precisely the most important thing about the physical strength of the soldiers. Now the soldiers of the Luo family will have a big boost in morale because of a series of previous moves by Masato and the sudden addition of Fu Fu, but once they form a protracted battle on the water with the other party. Then the physical disadvantage of the Luo family's side will be revealed. Meantime. The new Fukubune does not have a large cylinder. Therefore, when fighting, the means of attack rely more on the impact of the counterpart. It's just that if it hits too much, the lucky ship itself will be damaged. Masara didn't want to lose such a huge ship of support so soon (even if it wasn't from the Luo family).

And the most important thing in the conscience of the government is that no matter whether this battle is won or not, the losses of the Luo family's naval army will be quite serious in the end. The Luo family's standing naval army will also suffer a lot of damage in this battle.

There is a drawback of the crack soldier policy, that is, once the loss of elite soldiers is too large, it is difficult to replenish it in a short period of time. Then this means that the Luo family will have to rely on crowd tactics to ensure the combat power of the navy for a long period of time. This is a very large consumption of the Luo family. And in the real-time battlefield, if the elite soldiers are too damaged. And without the timely replenishment of the ordinary peasant army (which is exactly such a situation at the moment due to the distance from the land), then it is likely to lead to the rout of the whole army.

After thinking about it, in the end, Masahiro still planned to make peace with the Ouchi family, the Tsushima clan family, and the Iki Island Hata family first, and see what benefits the Luo family could get. Of course, in the process of preparing for peace, Masarashi had already sent a ship to secretly return to the coast of Hizen Province to call for reinforcements, ready to come over at any time to support. It is estimated that several companies on the other side have also done the same.

After the four parties reached a preliminary intention to negotiate peace, the two sides agreed to jointly retreat five miles by sea, and then each sent a representative and a few soldiers as escorts to the shore of a whale-like island (later named Whale Island) near the battlefield to start a peace negotiation.

The representative of the Luo family this time was Liu Le. The other three parties saw that the representative of the Luo family turned out to be a Ming countryman. They couldn't help but be stunned, but then they were relieved. Anyway, the governor of the Luo family is known for often making some strange and surprising moves. So there's nothing surprising about them. Immediately, a heated argument ensued in the cabin of the ship, which had been placed in advance on one of the island's seashores, and no one was on it, and from time to time the information was passed back to their respective commanders through their respective escort ships, and then waited for their own commanders to decide. Finally, an agreement was reached in the evening.

According to the decision of the peace agreement, the Luo family, the Ouchi family, the Hata family, and the clan family must ensure the smooth navigation of the sea trade routes near Iki Island and Tsushima Island, and must not carry out any commercial blockade. As a concession to the Luo family, the Ouchi family also ensured the smooth flow of the Kanmen Strait in the territorial waters of the Ouchi family (anyway, the Ouchi family will not block the strait at their own expense, and now it is just a small concession to the Luo family on the surface, in the eyes of the Ouchi family, this is a bit of charity).

The naval forces of all sides are not allowed to enter the waters within ten miles of the coast of the territories of the parties, otherwise they will be deemed to have automatically broken the agreement and will suffer a full-scale counterattack from the other side, and the rest of the parties shall not intervene in the camps of the two sides of the conflict.

Maintain the current situation on Iki Island, and all parties are not allowed to enter Iki Island. (That is, on Iki Island at present, Ishida-gun, which faces the Hizen Province and Chikuzen countries of the Luo family, is under the control of the Hizen family and Chikuzen Province, while Iki County, which faces the territory of Tsushima Island, the Chikuzen Province of the Ouchi family, and the Kanmon Strait side is under the control of the Hakaga. This treaty secured the newly occupied territory of the Ishida County by the Luo family, and also protected the Hidaka family, who were significantly weaker than the Hata family. In the future, this part of the territory on Iki Island will be temporarily handed over to the Hidaka family to take care of, and the Luo family only needs to send some officials in. ）

The Hata family exchanged the family of the maid for too long for a part of the Hata family who were captured in Gumi Castle today. Saving Orange's family was the condition promised by Zhengliang to persuade Orange to take the initiative to cooperate with the Luo family's espionage plan, and Zhengliang would not deceive a little girl, so he also took the opportunity to bring it up. As for the other party's request to exchange an equal number of prisoners, Masara also agreed, anyway, after putting these people back, it would only increase the number of people who consumed food on the other side.

In addition to the peace agreement reached by the four parties, Mao Li Yuan also took the opportunity to make a proposal to the Luo family on the peace between the Ouchi family and the Luo family. The decision to seek peace with the Roshi family was made a long time ago, under the strong persuasion of Sagara Takeren and Mori Motosasa, Yoshitaka Ouchi. Of course, according to the original plan, it was after defeating the Luo family's naval army to attack Iki Island in July, the Ouchi family took the opportunity to force the Luo family.

On the surface, the purpose of negotiating peace with the Luo family was to prevent the Ouchi family from falling into the predicament of fighting with the Niko family and the Luo family at the same time, but secretly, the Maori family was to allow the Ouchi family to get out of the entanglement of the Luo family, so as to provide more support to the Maori family. Of course, the current situation is different from the situation planned at the beginning, at least now the Ouchi family's water alliance army did not defeat the Luo family's water army, but was worried that after fighting with the Luo family's water army, his side would also suffer major damage, so he temporarily negotiated peace. But it would not be a bad thing if he could take the opportunity to reach a new peace agreement with the Luo family alone.

Regarding Maori Yuan's proposal for peace, Masahiro is naturally not very cold. After all, just last year, the Ouchi family had just torn up the peace agreement signed with the Luo family and secretly attacked the Luo family's Hakata Port (of course, if it was Masarashi and Ouchi Yoshitaka at that time, he would have made the decision to tear up the agreement and take the opportunity to attack the Luo family).

It's just that after calming down, he suddenly remembered the information that Kansuke Yamamoto had reported to him earlier about the internal situation of the Ouchi family. Judging from the information, there seems to be some discord within the Ouchi family. Immediately, Masara thought of the civil strife in the Ouchi family in history. If the civil strife incident will still occur, then the Luo family really shouldn't put too much pressure on the Ouchi family at this time, which will only make the Ouchi family's retainers who have already cracked temporarily unite against the Luo family, but it is better to relax the pressure on them from the outside and let them collapse from the inside? At that time, as long as the Luo family prepares in advance, they will pick up a lot of bargains. Thinking of this, Masarashi finally agreed to negotiate peace with the Ouchi family.
