Chapter 979: Providence
With Masarashi personally coming to the Satsuma Province region of Southern Kyushu and taking full control of the local affairs, the army of the Duolu Luo family led by Kai Soun also suspended the advance of the various regions of Satsuma Province, and on the one hand, assisted the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet to take over the territory surrendered by the Shimazu family, and on the other hand, assisted the intelligence cabinet to monitor the movements of the various forces in the newly occupied territory of the Luo family, and waited for the Shimazu family to retreat the last southern part of Satsuma Province. f,■.2≌3x.netbsp; The Satsuma country is gradually quieting down, but the various armies of the Luo family in Hyuga Province and Osumi Province are still advancing.
With the help of the former Ito family's important minister, the army of the Luo family led by Takasaka Masanbu marched all the way, and at the beginning of August, after sending the rank of Ito Yoshisuke, the governor of the Ito family, to Matsuyama Castle, the last important town in the southern region of the Ito family, the defenders of the city finally surrendered, so far, all the territories of the Ito family in the Hyuga country area have been occupied by the Luo family, and the remaining forces of the Ito family that are still resisting or evading, such as the Ito family's water army, have also surrendered to the Luo family.
The only thing that made Takasaka Masanobu feel sorry was that some of the die-hard retainers of the Ito family, including Ito Yuki and Ito Yuban, took Ito Yoshisuke's second son Ito Yoshiyoshi, the third son Torugamaru (that is, the next governor of the Ito family in history, Ito Youbing) and others disappeared.
Although the personnel of the local intelligence cabinet had been fully monitoring the whereabouts of these people and determined that these people had indeed fled into Matsuyama Castle in the end, when Matsuyama Castle surrendered, even after a comprehensive search, it was only determined that the other party had seen Ito Yoshiyu's level and took it away. He never showed up again.
on this. Masayo, who got the news in the Satsuma area afterwards, was also quite helpless. However, the incompetence of the personnel of the Intelligence Pavilion cannot be blamed for this, after all, unlike many advanced surveillance methods in later generations, this era can basically only rely on manpower to monitor, which will naturally cause a lot of negligence and mistakes.
Just like the previous Masarashi ordered to keep an eye on the Owari Province area with all his might, looking for an opportunity to kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi (then known as Kinoshita Toyoshiro), and the Intelligence Pavilion did put a lot of thought into it, and they were given two chances respectively.
One time was in the Minokuni region, when Kinoshita Tojiro seemed to be traveling the world. This was supposed to be a good opportunity to assassinate him, but when the personnel of the Luo family made a move, they were rescued by some local bandits and local tyrants who suddenly arrived (the local tyrants were the people who were led by Bee Suga Koroku Masakatsu).
Since the attack, Kinoshita Toyoshiro has become much more cautious, and the direct guide zhì Luo family intelligence cabinet personnel have lost Kinoshita Toyoshiro traces for a long time (after all, the intelligence cabinet has limited manpower in the local area, and there are many other tasks, especially after Mino Kuni Saito Michizo was seized by his son and fled to the Kyoto area, the Luo family and Saito Michizo later reached a cooperation agreement, so they had more affairs).
By the time Kinoshita Tojiro appeared again in the Intelligence Pavilion (that is, the second chance), this guy had become a retainer of the Oda family. At this time, this guy followed Oda Nobunaga almost all day long. This makes it even more difficult for the Intelligence Cabinet personnel to get started. What's more, if they act rashly and expose their identities, then the cooperative relationship established by Saito Michizo, the Oda family, and the Luo family under the guidance of Saito Michizo will be affected because of this.
In this regard, Zhengliang, who got the news afterwards, could really only look up to the sky and sigh, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there is a providence in the dark, which makes some guys so lucky? So after also learning that some of the Ito family's retainers and two sons were missing, Masara was not angry.
Besides, although these people ran away, Takasaka Masanobu still sent better news. The news was that after taking control of Matsuyama Castle, the last important town of the Ito family, Takasaka Masanobu's army immediately moved to the coastal area of Shibu Shiwan, the southernmost point of Hinayama Province, which was controlled by the Liver Fu family.
At the same time, the Hokugo family, who had taken the initiative to surrender to the Luo family after the Luo family entered the central region of Hyuga Province, also came out of the mountains and forests, and cooperated with Takasaka Masanobu's army to advance from the eastern coast to the coast of Shibu Shiwan.
As for Li Huamei's navy, on the one hand, while receiving the Ito and Shimazu clan's navy respectively, on the other hand, they were also assisting the Shimazu family to transfer to the Shikoku region, but even so, Li Huamei also sent some ships from the southern sea to approach the coast of Shibushi Bay of the Liver Fu family at this time.
The coastal area of Zhibu Zhiwan was mainly controlled by the liver Fu family, the liver Fu Dazang and others, before he went directly from the Jucheng Dragon Xiang Castle, and went straight to Toyama City, where the only remaining son of the liver Fu Jian was located, but he was transferred by the Luo family intelligence cabinet personnel who learned the news in advance, and the son and mother of the liver Fu Jian were all transferred, and he pounced (when his army arrived, there was no longer a figure in Toyama Castle), so in a fit of anger, he directly set fire to Toyama Castle, It wasn't until he saw that the city was completely burned down that he led the army to return to Longxiang City.
In this process, none of the other retainers and generals of the Liver Fu family came out to say a word for the remaining heir of the Liver Fu and the continuation (at this time, due to the sudden killing of the Liver Fu and the continuation, it was difficult for the Liver Fu family to unite again, among these retainers, some of them had been secretly co-opted by the Luo family, and the remaining part was considering how to increase their own strength and how to obtain more benefits in this incident).
Of course, Liver Fu Dazang was actually not having a good time, because when he had just returned to Longxiang City and didn't even sit in a hot seat, he learned the news that the Luo family's multi-way army was coming to kill together, and this time, it really frightened him.
At this time, he really didn't know how many people came this time from the Luo family's naval army that was already cruising along the coast of Zhibu Zhiwan and the Beixiang family's army from the east, but he knew that there were at least tens of thousands of people from the army of Takasaka Masanobu who was rushing directly from the north.
Why is there suddenly so many people in Takasaka Masanobu's army? You must know that when he went out from Matsuo Castle to attack the rest of the country, Takasaka Masanobu only had an army of more than 2,000 people.
The main reason for the current situation is that after the surrender of the Ito family's important towns of Ogawakan and Kakuto Castle, in order to prevent the Ito soldiers in these castles from being sent home and becoming a source of chaos for some well-intentioned people, under the decision of Kadokuma Ishimune of the Southern Kyushu Military Division this time, Takasaka Masanobu's army simply temporarily absorbed these troops mainly peasant soldiers into his army, and then went to fight to support the war. With the resources reserved by the castles in the territory directly under the Ito family, Tong Guò temporarily supported this part of the army, and at the same time, with the help of their numerical power and their own combat power, they were able to advance all the way.
So over time, it gradually created an army of tens of thousands of people under Takasaka Masanobu. However, at this time, it was already August, and the autumn harvest was about to begin, so in order to avoid the trouble of these peasant troops, Takasaka Masanobu must also speed up the use of these troops to take the last area of the Hyuga Province that was not occupied by the Luo family in one fell swoop, so there was an attack on the Liver Fu family in the coastal area of Shibu Shiwan.
Of course, since it is an attack, it is natural to be good in the name of righteousness, and the unlucky Liver Fu Dazang happened to raise troops to attack the heir of the Liver Fu family, who had just died, which was completely a rebellion. Moreover, the personnel of the Luo Family Intelligence Pavilion also took this opportunity to persuade the people around the young heir of the Liver Fu Jian Xu, so that they joined the camp of the Luo family, on the one hand, to ensure their own safety, and on the other hand, they hoped to use the power of the Luo family to make the second son of the Liver Fu Jian inherit the position of the governor of the Liver Fu family.
With the support of the heir of the Liver Fu Continuation, the Luo family naturally killed the coastal area of Zhibu Zhiwan directly in the name of assisting the son of the Liver Fu Continuum to inherit the position of the governor of the Liver Fu family, and pacifying the rebel Liver Fu Dazang.
