Chapter 448: Sword Guide Hizen
At the end of May of the 12th year of Astronomy (1543), spring, Hizen Fujitsu-gun, Matsuoka Castle.
Torches were lit in the courtyard. The eastern sky was turning white, and the flames were not as fierce as before. The generals of the Luo family sat in the light, their shadows swaying on the walls, and a solemn atmosphere was exuded everywhere.
Masarashi sat in the middle, with Tankane, Tetsunosuke, and Asakura Munetsu on his right hand, and Kakukuma Ishimune and Roshi Masahide on his left. In addition, Masayo's small surnames Naoshige Nabeshima and Masanobu Honda also sat behind Masashi. At this time, everyone was fully armed, and all of them had serious expressions.
"Bring people." Masara commanded. His face was expressionless, and under his helmet, his ruddy forehead reflected red light, adding a bit of majesty to his fully armed body.
After receiving the news that Arima Qingchun was captured, Masara led people to Matsuoka City overnight, and in the process of hurrying, in order to cooperate with the next arrangement, Masara signed several orders in a row, and then asked the detective to rush to the place where the secret order was received overnight.
There will be Ma Qingchun so smoothly, which is completely beyond Zhengliang's expectations. In his original plan, he planned to let Kikuchi Yoshitake rely on his previous relationship with the Arima family, and gradually break into the Arima family with the opportunity to take refuge and even capture Arima Qingjun.
This Arima Qingchun is the master of the Arima family. And Masara also knew that Arima Harumun's original name was Arima Kenjun, and later, after entering Beijing, through the help of Ninagawa Kotoshi, the political office under the Ise clan, the deacon of the shogunate, he even obtained the position of the imperial companion. It is said that he almost won the position of Hizen Guardian at one point. It's just that I don't know what the reason for the road didn't get the shogunate's security.
Compared with Arima Qingchun's identity, Masahiro is more concerned about his ability. Anyone who has played the game knows that this guy's internal affairs and command values are quite good. And historically. took advantage of the slump of the Shao Er family. And when the dragon temple family had not yet risen. On the basis of the internal affairs system established by Arima Harumi's father, Arima Harumi expanded vigorously, and once occupied the four counties of Hizen, Takarai, Bijima, Ojima, and Fujitsu. If it weren't for the fact that the strength of a group of subordinates was too low, it was even possible to achieve even greater achievements.
According to historical development, this period is the period when the Arima family made a fortune under the leadership of Arima Qingchun, but unfortunately, Arima Qingchun met the Luo family that should not have appeared in history. So, he began to tragedy. First, he instigated civil strife among the Matsuura clan. At the same time, he forced the Arito family to give in, and tried to quickly get involved in Matsuura County and Tsushima County. But he was seized by Masara and took Matsuura County in one fell swoop, and even the Arima family was not left with the Arishima family.
After that, Arima Qingchun, who was unwilling to fail, vigorously responded to the call of the Shao Er family to besiege the Luo family, and sent troops to follow the Shao Er family to attack the Luo family. Only this time, he followed a pig-like command, so he was defeated by Zhengliang with the help of the flood. This time, the Arima family not only lost several wealthy generals and a lot of soldiers, but even Matsugang Castle in Fujitsu County was seized by the Luo family.
After hitting a wall several times, Arima Qingchun finally recognized the facts. So the head of the gun turned and concentrated his energy back on Nanfei. He wanted to speed up the unification of this place before the Luo family tried to dye the guide fat. As a result, the previous method of gradually infiltrating and controlling the wealthy clans had to be changed to the method of direct forcible annexation. But with Ma Qingchun's method, it is naturally not supported by the other two big wealthy families in front of Nanfei, the big village family and the Xixiang family.
The Saigo family was the one with the most fierce opposition. Who are you? If the Ouchi family surrenders, maybe my Xixiang family will still think about it, you have a wealthy family like the Ma family, which is not much better than my Xixiang family, and you also want to ask the family to surrender directly? No way.
As for Arima Qingjun's uncle, the Omura family, who is over seventy years old, Junmae Omura is also very angry. "Damn, there is Ma Qingchun, this kid, when you went to Beijing to seek officials, I also helped a lot? Okay, now the older you get, the more disobedient you are, right? Do you want your uncle to surrender? You've got stiff wings, aren't they? Let's see who has stiffer wings. ”
Not long after, Junzen Omura directly drove his adopted son, who had changed his name to Juntada Omura, back to the Arima family, and at the same time, he changed his attitude of whispering to the Arima family in the past.
Regarding the actions of these two families who don't know how to lift, of course, Arima Qingchun directly gave the toughest response.
So, from the year before last until now, the Omura family, which is slightly weaker than the Arima family, and the Saigo family simply joined forces and fought with the Arima family at the border for several rounds. Both sides have their own winners and losers.
However, Arima Harumu, who has much higher values in internal affairs, command, and strategy than the generals, such as the Omura family and the Saigo family, is not so easy to deal with. Sure enough, in the spring of this year, Arima Qingjun imitated Masayo's habit of attacking during the spring ploughing season, and took advantage of the emptiness of most of the Saigo soldiers in Gonkanyue Castle when they went home to farm, and captured Gonkanyue Castle in one fell swoop.
The tragedy is that just when he was proud, he met the Luo family and Luo Zhengliang again.
Yes, since he was brought to Songgang City by those "pirates", he knew that it was not the so-called "pirates" who kidnapped him, but the Luo family. When he was escorted to the council hall of Songgang City, and saw the man on the throne who was a little too young, but with eyes as sharp as an eagle, he knew that today he had finally met the legendary Hizen Eagle. Looking at this young male lord, he didn't know why, he suddenly thought of his frail and sickly son Arima Yoshizhen. I couldn't help but sigh secretly. Why is there such a big difference between people?
At this time, Masashi was also looking at Arima Harumu. A somewhat short and thin figure, the top of his head is bare, reflecting the light in the light of the fire. It's such an old man, he always makes trouble for the Luo family's border! The political conscience has to be admired for this.
"Arima-sama, we're finally meeting." As the master, Masato spoke first.
"Humph!" Arima Qingchun snorted lightly and didn't answer. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and now they have become other people's prisoners, and Arima Qingchun naturally has nothing to say.
"Don't you think it's strange to you? Although the Arima family has strengthened their infiltration of the Omura family and the Saigo family in the past two years, why do conflicts always break out on the border between the Arima family and the two families? Masara said with a smile.
"Is that you?" Arima Qingchun suddenly woke up, and then raised his head and glared at Masahiro with angry eyes and said. In the past two years, there have been several times when Arima Qingchun was about to deal a heavy blow to the Omura family and the Saigo family, there would always be riots and even conflicts with the Omura and Saigo families in other places, causing him to temporarily abandon his original plan. If it weren't for the delay of these things, the Arima family would have suppressed the Omura family and the Saigo family a long time ago. Now it seems that it was really the Luo family's ghost.
In response to Arima Harumun's question, Masarashi smiled noncommittally, and then continued: "I heard that the Arima family has just taken over the rights of the Saigo family in Fujitsu County, which is really gratifying. After a few months of recuperation, the newly recruited soldiers also need to be trained, so, I think about it, Arima-sama won't mind if I take someone to take Gonkanyue Castle, right? ”
"Hmph, do you think that Quanguan Yue City can be conquered so easily? As long as the family sticks to the city, the Luo family doesn't want to take another step forward. Even if Zhilu said that the Luo family was preparing to carry out a cage battle against the newly occupied Quanguanyue City of the Arima family, Arima Qingchun still fought back without panicking.
"Hehe, maybe I didn't dare to make such a conclusion before yesterday, but after receiving this information today, I am absolutely confident that I will take Quanguan Yue City." Masarashi took out a letter and threw it in front of Arima Harumun, and said with a smile.
Arima Qingchun opened the letter suspiciously and read it. When I saw it, I was shocked. It turned out that the letter was exactly what Quan Guan Yuecheng was doing.
Since Arima Qingchun was kidnapped away, Arima Yoshizhen relapsed due to too sad old illness, and the retainers had to send him back to Shendai City to recuperate, at this time Arima's family was already in chaos, and suddenly lost a strong family governor, and the family governor's designated heir was so weak and sick, which suddenly made the retainers worry about the future of the Arima family.
What alarmed Arima even more was the information contained in the letter about the situation of the guards in the castle of Gonkangaku. Not only did it clearly determine the number of guards in the city, but it also accurately stated the proportion of peasants and soldiers among them. These are all situations that have been arranged by Arima Qingchun before he was kidnapped. It seems that Arima Yoshizhen still arranged the defense of Quan Guan Yue Castle according to Arima Harumun's original decision.
It's just that after the number of peasant soldiers was directly stated in the intelligence, the defensive strategy of Arima Harumun's original plan to let the peasant soldiers act as samurai to fake the tiger was completely ineffective. The most terrifying thing is that after the intelligence even mentioned that the peasants and soldiers generally wanted to return home for spring ploughing, and that the city gate was only a simple repair, Arima Harumi was completely shocked.
Although this time he took advantage of the lack of troops in the Xixiang family to organize superior forces to take Quanguanyue City, but because of this, it also affected the spring plowing work in the territory, so after seizing the city, most of the people were sent home to step up the arrangements for spring ploughing. And these peasant soldiers, who were forced to stay in charge of defense for the time being, must have complained. Unexpectedly, the Luo family even knew such information. It seems that there are ghosts in Quanguanyue City at this moment.
"I guess you've thought about it by now, you have people in your family. And if there is no mistake in the calculation now, the people in the lower are already beginning to agitate your son, that is, the Qianqian Shi Zhichang who is now ready to inherit the Qianqianshi family to fight for the position of the family governor. After all, if it were His Royal Highness Yizhen's current ability, he would indeed not be able to lead the Arima family better. "Masahiro's words are not shocking, and he once again gave Arima Qingchun a thunderbolt.
