Sun Goro, who was authorized by Masaliang, led the Luo family's navy army to the vicinity of the Tateishi family's navy base very early and hid it. As Masarashi said, due to the civil strife, the Tateishi Clan's naval army has now been divided into three factions, each of which is mainly a Guan ship, and has even been divided into three formations, during which there have even been brief battles between them. Because each of them was focused on guarding against the other, they hadn't reacted when the Luo family's sailors appeared at the exit of the base's bay.

"Kill", the opportunity must not be lost, they must be caught off guard, Sun Wulang led a Guan ship and eighteen small early rushed to the Tateishi family's naval army. Although the Tateishi Naval Army had three ships and nearly twenty small ships, most of the manpower was transferred back to Sayama Castle to sit in the town, and now it was divided into three formations, and the overall strength was greatly weakened. Soon, a Guan ship belonging to the second leader of the Standing Stone family was occupied, and the six small boats around the Guan boat also surrendered one after another under the siege of the Luo family's naval army.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! At this time, there were bursts of exclamations from the water village on the shore. The 50 samurai led by Masato also arrived at this time. The gate of the water village was quickly occupied by the troops of the Luo family.

After driving all the captives on board into the sea, Sun Goro quickly took over one of the captured ships and six small boats. After a little rectification, 33 sailors and 120 temporarily conscripted peasants took two ships and 24 ships to slowly approach another group of sailors belonging to the three leaders of the Tateishi family.

Taking advantage of the other party's civil strife to quickly block the entrance to the sea and defeat the counterattack organized by the other party, there is no need to force them too much to avoid hard encounters, but to echo the strength of the Luo family on land, driving the remaining enemies to the other corner, under pressure, they will soon abandon the ship and flee to the land, so that the Luo family can easily receive the ship abandoned by the Standing Stone family.

Sure enough, after being attacked simultaneously on both land and water, the remaining two fleets panicked.

"Run!" , one of the samurai at the head of one of the flotillas shouted. As soon as his order was given, all the men immediately increased their rowing speed and quickly rushed to the shore where the enemy had not yet blocked it. It's not that they don't want to fight, look at the other side's several ships in front, each ship is full of people, and then look at their own side, on average, there are only so many people on a ship, how can this be fought?

Seeing this, the other fleet also took action, and now that the enemy is strong, there is no need to send them to death. The sight of the poor fellows who had just become captives, but who had been quickly driven out of the sea, and who were now struggling to swim to the shore, made everyone tremble.

In this way, under the pressure of the Luo family's troops, the water army of the Standing Stone family fled one after another, even the remaining water army in the water village was no exception. In the end, the Luo family's navy army easily occupied the Tateishi family's navy base.

"Your Highness, this time our family has confiscated a total of three customs ships, nineteen small ships, three merchant ships of all kinds and Dutch ships," Sun Goro said in a high-pitched voice as he knelt on the deck. He was excited in his heart at the moment, in the past water wars, he only knew how to fight hard with the other party, but this time, according to the strategy of the head of the family, the water army won a battle with several people slightly injured, and he had to bow to the head of the family.

"Very well, Sun Goro, let's take a look at this place immediately," said Masarashi, standing on the bow of the ship, pointing to the water village on the shore, "and after looting all the supplies, burn it." Yinuo, let people inform the Masataka on the side of Sayama Castle that they can withdraw their troops. ”

Zhengliang is also very happy now, after this battle, the Luo family naval army already has five Guan ships (one of which is on the way to Banwu Bay), thirty-seven small mornings, ten merchant ships of all kinds and Dutch ships, although the strength is not comparable to the water army like the Huzi family, but it is no one to beat in Banwu Bay. …,

After receiving Masayo's order, Hirasa Masataka took the 120 remaining peasant soldiers to wander around Sayama Castle for a while, and then slowly returned to Yunoo Castle, and the temporarily recruited peasants also disbanded and returned to their homes in Notaka Village after receiving their rewards. Everyone in Sayama Castle breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the enemy had finally withdrawn, but then they quarreled over the choice of the governor. Now they don't know what to do, their water army has been wiped out by the Luo family.

After returning to Kurayama Castle by boat, Masato immediately summoned everyone to convene a provisional assessment.

"Your Highness, why didn't the main family take advantage of the situation to attack the other party's Sayama Castle, so that the lower reaches of the tributary of the Manga Richuan River would be completely occupied by the main family," Togo Heiji said to everyone's questions.

"Can anyone tell me about the situation around Sayama Castle?" , Masarashi did not answer Togo Heiji's question directly, but looked at everyone and asked.

"Your Highness, to the southwest of Sayama Castle is the Dono family, and to the west and northwest is the Hibi Peninsula, where there are a large number of pirates," said Ichino Monomi.

"So, who can tell me how to defend my family after capturing Sayama Castle?" , Masato continued to ask.

"This...", Togo Heiji was speechless for a while, he really didn't know how to defend the newly acquired territory. The rest of the crowd also began to ponder.

"Now the northeast of the house is guarded by the second team led by Kuniharu Onishi, the southeast is the third team of Tsuda Hiromune, the west direction is the fourth team of Hirasa Masatada, and the Itayawan is the navy in charge of Sun Goro, and the first team and the rest of the samurai are in charge of the center, and in the last major war, many wounded, including Tsuda Hiromune and Rashi Sasuke, have not yet healed", Masaro said in a serious tone, "Although the family has allied itself with the Sashi family in the southeast and is friendly with the Wave family, But the family is still facing the prying eyes of the surrounding heroes led by the Yokoko family, and it is impossible to expand the territory for the time being. ”

"Your Highness, why don't you consider increasing the strength of your territory?" , Muzo Shigazhong on the side said.

"No, you can't. With the addition of the navy, the standing army of the territory now has more than 300 people, and with the income of less than 3,500 stone in the territory, it is no longer able to support the expenditure of such a number of troops. Now that we're in the stormy season again, recruiting standing stands again could make the territory unstable. ”

"Even if you don't capture Sayama Castle, you can capture all the sailors of the Tateishi family, and now that you release all these people, it is equivalent to ensuring the strength of the Tateishi family," Kizo Shigetada continued to wonder.

"Hehe, I just want to ensure that the strength of the Tateshi family will not be damaged too much", Masaro smiled confidently.

"Huh? Your Highness? All the retainers were stunned by the shocking thoughts of Zhengliang. Those who hope that their enemies are strong.

"The Standing Stone family without the navy is like a wild wolf without teeth. For the family, there is no longer a threat, and even if they invade the family's Yunoo Castle, the family has enough strength to let them retreat. On the contrary, if the strength of the Tateishi family is too damaged, and if the family has no time to take care of it, once it is destroyed by the Dono family in the west or the pirates in the northwest, the defense situation of the family will be much more complicated", Masarashi said his true plan, "And there is another advantage to letting the Tateishi family exist, that is, it can allow them to develop to the west and northwest, and in the absence of the main source of supplies of the navy, they will have to do this, so that they can weaken the strength of the forces of each family in those two directions." ”…,

"Your Highness is wise", all the retainers bowed down one after another.

"Sun Goro", Masara looked at the general of the navy who had not been silent, "The newly recruited sailors will join the fleet, and the number of standing sailors will be kept at about 60 people, and the training will be intensified." At the same time, the complete blockade of Banwu Bay and the gradual removal of pirates from the west coast will be carried out, and I hope that in a month's time, only my family's ships will be visible on the water surface of Banwu Bay. "According to Zhengliang's plan, first of all, it is necessary to attack some small pirates composed of fishermen on the west shore of Banwu Bay, and subdue or expel them; then began to attack the Xintian people, whose strength was relatively good; Finally, a blockade line was set up at the junction between Banwu Wan and Xuanjie Beach, so that Banwu Bay could become the inner courtyard of the Luo family.

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty promises to complete the task in a month," Sun Goro promised loudly.

Coupled with the newly recruited navy, there are now 60 sailors in the navy team, and with the scale of the Luo family's navy, it is fully capable of dominating Banwu Bay in a short period of time. And now the equipment and daily expenses of the navy are the responsibility of the territory, in addition to eating every day, everyone can also take 7 stone of food back home every year, which can be said to be worry-free, so everyone is grateful to the lord, and completing the lord's task is the best reward.

"Yinuo", after instructing Sun Gorou to complete the task, Masarashi said again, "Send some scouts to infiltrate the west coast, and spread the news among the various pirates to settle in their own territory, not only to cultivate the fields, but also to ensure food and clothing." "This is the carrot stick policy that Masarashi is prepared to adopt, constantly attacking these pirates on the one hand, and throwing an olive branch at them on the other hand, absorbing them into the territory.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this will increase the burden of supplies in the territory," Togo Heiji, who had just understood Masayo's thoughts, said worriedly.

"Hehe, don't worry, the food reserves in the territory are still enough for the time being, and I have already thought of a solution, as for what the solution is, you will soon know." Masashi said confidently.
