() In the military tent, Masayo is holding a provisional assessment.

"I'll leave the purging of the newly occupied territory and the matter of guarding it to you. Eliminate the diehards, and the Black Eagle will assist you," Masarashi said as he looked at Onishi Kuniji.

The latter bowed down to receive the order.

"Okay, let's talk about the casualties this time," Masarashi said after a moment of silence. This time, none of the retainers mentioned the casualties, and it was obvious that there were a lot of casualties.

"Your Highness, in the battle of Ohara, the family had a cloak group, three low-level samurai, and sixteen standing ashigaru killed in battle, and thirty-four wounded, some of whom may not be able to participate in the battle after recovering from their injuries. In terms of generals, except for the wounded Akimine Hidemasa and Oishi Tomohisa, the rest of the generals are fine," Kuniharu Onishi, who was in charge of counting the battlefield, said a little heavily, "At the same time, this time, a total of 133 enemy heads were captured, and 257 prisoners of war were captured. ”

"According to the territorial law, the pension for the fallen soldiers will be doubled, and they will be buried in the 'hero's tomb' of the territory, and the family members who will take care of them will be given according to the territorial law," Masahiro said slowly, "The injured people will be sent to the upper gate for treatment, and Master Xuanru will go there to heal them." ”

As long as there is a war, there will definitely be people who are injured or even killed, and after several major wars, Masahiro has gradually become less optimistic about these things. And in order to encourage everyone to join the army, a series of pension laws that can be said to have created the history of the Warring States period have also been formulated.

After a few retainers went down, Masara looked at the only thing left behind and said, "Have you found out?" ”

"Your Highness, it's been found out. Those who did not take refuge in the Huzi family's sailors, some of them were those who had just defected to the Huzi family, some were some warriors who were originally wandering, and a few were loyal retainers of the Huzi family. ”

Zhengliang asked Yinuo to check the original Huzi family sailors who did not take refuge in the Luo family. Leave such a scattered military force in the nearby waters. In any case, it is a threat to the Luo family. Therefore, Zhengliang must find out their details.

Now it seems that those Mingyue Zhong are ready to take refuge in a new Haoqiang. And the Luo family has fought with them before, and even the family members of some of them have settled down in the Luo family. So it's normal for them not to take refuge in themselves. And those samurai who have become ronins again probably have the intention of becoming pirates or taking refuge in a new hero. Only the few die-hard retainers need attention.

"Do those retainers of the Huzi family have any family members in their own territory?" Masara asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, in the village outside the city of the original head of the Huzi family," Yi Nuo reported.

"Secretly relocate them to a place where they can live again. Just spy on them," Masarashi said.

I believe that they find that their families are controlled, and these so-called die-hard elements will have some scruples. And then, over time, these people will surely divide and disintegrate again.

After sending Yinuo away, Masara picked up some of the account books that Togo Heiji had just left. as a lord. It is necessary to check the situation of the territory on a regular basis. And these account books are the events and accounts in some of the territories recorded by Togo Heiji.

"Your Highness, Lord Sun Gorou outside the tent asks to see you" At this time, the cloak who was in charge of guarding outside the tent came in to report.

Sun Goro? Didn't he already go to deal with the newly recruited navy at dusk? Why did you come back so soon? Is something wrong?

After getting Masayo's permission, Sun Goro quickly walked in.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Masara asked.

"Your Highness, just now the minister went down to inquire. I found out that this time the water army of the Huzi family was able to surrender so smoothly because of the persuasion of one of the leaders of the original Huzi family's water army, so it was like this," Sun Goro reported.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Who is this person? Masato suddenly became interested in this person. Being able to take the initiative to persuade everyone to surrender at least shows that this person knows how to judge the situation.

"Your Highness. This man calls himself Gobei," Sun Goro said, "Your Highness." His Majesty had already sought out this man, and he had made a request to meet His Highness directly. ”

"Oh?" What an interesting guy. Looks like he has something to say to me. After hearing this, Zhengliang couldn't help but think.

"Let him in," Masarashi decided.

Soon, a samurai in simple clothes walked in with a child. The samurai looked to be in his thirties, and his face was so elegant that if you looked at it alone, you couldn't tell that he was a pirate. And the kid was about seven or eight years old.

"In the lower village, the upper house, the Murakami Gobei is grand, and I have seen His Highness," the elegant samurai saluted to Masahiro.

"Seto Inland Sea Energy Island Murakami Water Army?"

"Exactly."

"So, Murakami-sama, what is the reason you are here?" Masarashi looked at Murakami and asked solemnly.

"Please forgive me for being abrupt, and I hope to serve the adults with my nephew," Murakami said solemnly.

"If I'm not mistaken, the nephew behind you is named Takeshi Murakami, right?" Instead of immediately responding to the other party's request, Masara said.

"Exactly" it was the kid who answered Masahiro this time.

"Am I weird? You must have fled to the territory of the Hizen Kikuchi family? Why did he appear here and become the general of the water army of the Huzi family? Masarashi said with a smile.

I really didn't expect that Takeshi Murakami, who showed his brilliance in the Battle of Noshima, which directly led to the demise of the Ouchi clan, came here at this moment, and he was still a seven or eight-year-old child.

Murakami Takeyoshi, born in the Seto Inland Sea, Noshima Murakami Suijun, and his father is Murakami Yoshitada. Since most of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea were narrow and poor, they could not fully supply the islanders with sufficient food, so the islanders used their knowledge of waterways to become a tyrant in the local waters, setting up private customs to collect sail money from ships, that is, one-tenth of the price of the goods on board, supplemented by smuggling, looting and other piracy as a livelihood. Later, the Murakami Navy split up and divided into three families: Nojima, Injima, and Laijima, which both developed separately and aided each other.

Due to the early death of Murakami's father, Murakami Yoshitada, who was still a child, was already involved in the turmoil of the competition with his half-brother Masaki for the throne of the family governor, and with the support of the Niko family, Murakami Yoshiyoshi defeated Bukit and his uncle Yuri of the Daiuchi family, so Bukit was forced to go into exile on the island of Kyushu and fled to the territory of the Hizen Kikuchi family to avoid Takeshi's pursuit.

"It's a long story, Your Highness should also know the helplessness of the people under the fence, and I accidentally learned that the thief of Yiyi tried to buy off the minister of the Kikuchi family with a lot of money to the two of us, so the two of us had to flee here and temporarily became the samurai of the Huko family," Murakami said with a bitter face.

I see, Masahiro understood after hearing it. In retrospect, this period was indeed the most helpless period for the two of them, and it was not until three years later that Murakami received the assistance of the Ouchi family for the first time and regained his strength. Then he slowly progressed, and finally assisted his nephew to regain the position of governor.

"Your Excellency is here because of the huge ship of my family, right?" Masara smiled slightly and continued.

"If you tell you that the big ship is actually just a friend of you, will you still go to your own family?"

"This?" Murakami was speechless. He really came up with the idea of taking refuge because he saw such a big ship appear in the Luo family. If you want to regain the territory as soon as possible, you must rely on a strong force, or have a strong strength. The former is the fastest shortcut, the latter is much slower, so he prefers to have the support of the strong. When he saw that the Luo family had a huge ship, he keenly realized that he only needed the help of such a big ship, plus some naval vessels, to defeat the naval army of Yiyi's guy, and then regain the position of family governor.

So, after seeing the Luo family's surrender, he actively lobbied the rest of the sailors and led them to surrender to the Luo family. Now I suddenly heard the other party tell me that the owner of the big ship was someone else, and I was immediately a little disappointed.

"Hehe, your Excellency wants to restore your nephew to the position of governor?" Masara continued.

The latter nodded slowly.

"Your Excellency should have sought the support of the Ouchi family, right?" Masaro asked deliberately.

"Exactly."

"I wonder what the situation is? But the other party agreed? "Zhengliang is asking knowingly.

"Hey! The Murakami family has been friends with the Ouchi family for several generations, but I really didn't expect the other party to even ask," Murakami said solemnly.

"Then do you know what the Dao is?" Masara asked.

Murakami looked at Masahiro suspiciously. This is also what he is puzzled about.

"What do you think of the Ouchi family today?" Instead of giving a direct answer, Masara asked.

"Such as riddle in the sky. The overlord of China, which even occupied part of Kyushu, can be described as the hegemon in the Warring States," Murakami solemnly commented.

After hearing the other party's evaluation, Masashi smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Since Your Excellency has seen that the Ouchi family is just like the middle of the sky, then a small water army, will he take it to heart?" Now, Masaro is tactfully telling Murakami that he is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Ouchi family now.

"I see" Murakami is also a smart person, and when he heard it, he understood the truth. Your own family is worthless in the eyes of the other party.

"Your Excellency, do you know when the water army of the Lu Dao family was established?" Instead of dwelling on the question just now, Masarashi asked.

Murakami looked solemnly at Masahiro. Obviously, he didn't know anything about the situation of the Luo family's water army.

"Four months," Masarashi smiled slightly, "from the beginning of one ship, to a few early days, to the scale that Your Excellency has seen today. ”

"Huh?" This exclamation was not made by Murakami, but by Murakami Buji behind him.

"Your Excellency, how? The family needs talents to lead the navy. As long as you go to your own family's water army, you will definitely be reused. If the strength of your family is enough, it will be when you take the position of governor of your family," Zhengliang tempted.
