Astronomical 20th year (1551), early October. It has been a few days since the Luo family's naval army took the opportunity to capture the fortress of Toyozen Province and the castle of Nagato Province.

During this time, while Masarashi was busy repairing the army of the Luo family, which had gone through rapid marches and major battles, he arranged for personnel to quickly take over the newly occupied Chikuzen Kunimune-gun, Toyozen State-owned Enterprise Rescue County, and the southern coastal area of the Kanmon Strait in Toyoura-gun, Nagato Province. In addition, due to the sudden loss of Sagasaki Castle on the shores of the Kanmon Strait, the Naito family of Nagato Province had recently rapidly deployed troops to Katsuyama Castle, which was less than two miles south of Sagasaki Castle, with the intention of retaking Sagasaki Castle, and Masarashi had to suspend his invasion of other parts of Toyozen Province.

If it is said that Moji Port and Moji Castle are the main targets of Masayo's strategy of Fengzen Province, then Sagasaki Castle is a surprise. Moji Castle is located on the southern shore of the Kanmon Strait, while Ozaki Castle is located opposite Moji Castle, which is the northern shore of the Kanmon Strait. The two castles are like gate gods guarding the sea passage of the Kanmon Strait. Taking control of these two cities not only allowed the Luo family to completely control the Kanmen Strait and the coasts on both sides, but also allowed the Luo family to gain a foothold in the northern part of the Fengzen Kingdom and the southern part of the Nagato Kingdom, which was conducive to the Luo family's further strategy in these two places.

Of course, the reason why the Luo family's naval army was able to successfully win these two cities was also completely out of coincidence.

Due to the fact that the Ouchi family governor Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed by Tao Longfang, it suddenly plunged the Ouchi family navy in the Monji Port into chaos, and at this time, the Luo family navy of the brigade appeared in front of them, coupled with the terrifying combat power displayed by Li Huamei's giant fortune ship, it instantly completely broke the will of these already chaotic Ouchi clans. So before he completely started a fierce battle with the Luo family's water army. And they fled on their own.

As for the Naito family's naval army and the defenders of Nagato Province's Castle. It is because after the rebellion launched in Taolongfang during this time, many areas of Zhou Fangguo and Nagato Kingdom fell into chaos, and many local wealthy families were afraid of being attacked by Taolongfang and either fled or joined forces to try to resist the rebels of Taolongfang. In order to ensure the safety of the territory, the Naito family just deployed most of the troops of Sagasaki Castle to the border area bordering Nagato Province and Zhou Defense Kingdom, so it caused the emptiness of Sagasaki Castle, which was swept down by the Luo family's naval army.

Although Murakami solemnly allowed the Luo family to get two castles in one fell swoop because of his own selfishness, the so-called rewards and punishments were clear, and he changed Masayo's order without authorization without urgency and delayed the arrival of grain, grass, siege weapons and other materials in the sea near Kokura Castle. After sealing a part of the territory as a reward for Murakami's grand exploits, Masayo ceremoniously demoted Murakami to the deputy general of the first team of the navy.

For the vacant position of the main general of the first team of the navy, after receiving the private instruction of Masayo, Li Huamei was jointly elected by the military advisor Kansuke Yamamoto and Kakukuma Ishimune. Li Huamei's last rescue of Masara in the Iki Waterway and this time in the process of capturing Moji Castle and Uzaki Castle are obvious to all, not to mention that now it is jointly elected by two military divisions, so everyone has no objection to Li Huamei's position as the commander of the first standing naval army.

Zhengliang's series of rewards and punishments, in addition to telling everyone that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you contribute to the Luo family, the Luo family will reward you according to the law of the Luo family. As for those who transgress the testimonies. Regardless of position, punishment is imposed.

is even more through Murakami's solemn punishment, so that the generals can get a warning. Let them know that they should not easily change the orders of the Lord and the Lord at any time. As for Murakami's solemnity, he was actually demoted to a deputy general, so as to avoid him from being hot-headed again in the future and taking the Luo family's navy to the Seto sea area to fight with the Nojima navy. In comparison, his nephew Murakami Takeyoshi is much calmer, as a garrison of the Bungo Waterway, he has a better chance than Murakami to go to the Seto Inland Sea where the Noshima Naval Army is located to take revenge, but since he has been stationed in the Bungo Waterway for so long, he has never shown the idea of leaving to take revenge.

After disposing of Murakami and others, Masashi fell into a busy government affair. On this day, when Masarashi was handling government affairs in the council hall of Kokura Castle, the small surname Hyakuzaki Kenkan walked in in a hurry.

"What?"

"Lord, fire, what a fire!"

"Fire? There's a fire there? Hearing that it was a fire, Masashi immediately asked.

"It's a mountain, and the mountains in the distance are full of fire." Bai Wuxian also reported.

"Take me to see it."

Soon, under the leadership of Hyakkutake Kenkan, Masarashi came to the top of Kokura Castle, and at this time, many soldiers and even retainers who heard the news were already standing on the top of the castle and looking out.

Masahiro followed the guidance of the crowd and raised his eyes to look west. I saw that huge smoke was rising from the mountains to the west, and in some places there were even fires dozens of meters high. Even standing on the top of the city far away from the mountains, Masara could still feel that at this time, the mountains in the distance seemed to be a demonic aura circling, gray with some hideousness, and the raging mountain fire in the mountains and forests seemed to be attacking with a bloody mouth, with thick smoke and scorching heat, mixed with wanton whistling, and the rattling sound of suffocating gases burning rapidly, as if heaven and earth were also allowed to let go of this gushing outbreak.

"Lord!" At this time, Kansuke Yamamoto, Kakukuma Ishimune and others also received the news and rushed over.

"What do you think about this wildfire?" Masato asked with a frown at this time.

"At this time, it is the season of autumn and coolness, and it is normal for a mountain fire to occur in the mountains, but it is strange to the ministers that why this fire is so big, almost burning the Goxu Mountain between Chikuzen Province and Toyozen Province." Kakukuma Ishizong said.

"It depends on the situation, this wildfire is extending from the mountain forest area in the central region of Fengzen Province, my lord, why don't you send someone to investigate?" Kansuke Yamamoto also said.

So Masarashi sent detectives to investigate near the source of the forest fire, while waiting for the exact news at Kokura Castle. Two days later, he still did not wait for the exact news, but waited for the messenger of Tao Longfang.

"Make peace with the family? Do you also want the family to send Ouchi Yoshicho to Zhou Fangguo as the new governor of the Ouchi family? After receiving the messenger of Tao Longfang in the council hall, the visitor immediately made a request for Tao Longfang. It's just that what made Zhengliang almost laugh was that the other party actually made such a request.

You must know that Ouchi Yoshicho is now the righteous banner of the Luo family's invasion of Fengqian Kingdom? And strictly speaking, the Luo family and Tao Longfang have a hostile relationship, and Masahiro really can't think of any benefit in sending Ouchi Yoshicho back to the Tao family to help Tao Longfang stabilize the civil strife in the family. What's more, Ouchi Yoshinaga is still Otomo Yoshijin's own brother? Although Ouchi Yoshicho is just a puppet after he arrives in Zhou Fangguo (and because he is not the biological flesh and blood of Taiuchi Yoshitaka, it is really limited in history to play a role in attracting the wealthy clans), but it is inevitable that he and Otomo Yoshizhen will join forces to deal with the Luo family. Therefore, after hearing the request of Jiang Liang Fangrong, the envoy of Tao Longfang, Zhengliang already had an urge to drive Jiang Liang Fang Rong away immediately.

"Don't be angry, but please read this letter from the master of the family before making a conclusion." Seeing that Zhengliang was unhappy after listening to his request, Jiang Liang Fangrong immediately took out a letter from his arms and said to Zhengliang.

For this mission, Jiang Liang Fangrong was a little dissatisfied in his heart. Now who knows that the governor of the Luo family is a decisive guy, Jiang Liang Fang Rong is really worried that he will not pay attention for a while and anger Zhengliang, a bad star, and thus incur the disaster of killing. I became more and more dissatisfied with Tao Longfang in my heart.

In fact, after killing Yoshitaka Ouchi, Jiang Liang Fang Rong had a conflict with Tao Longfang. The main reason is that Jiang Liang Fang Rong thought that he had gained a lot of military achievements in this attack on Ouchi Yoshitaka, but he did not get the fief that Tao Longfang should have given afterwards, so he was dissatisfied with Tao Longfang, and now he was forced to send an envoy to Luo's family, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was even worse. In history, Jiang Liang Fangrong and his family were also killed by Tao Longfang in Tao Longfang's action to eliminate dissidents. (To be continued......)
