In the council hall of Matsugaku Castle, Masaroshi was hesitant to agree to Yasumasa's request.

"Your Highness, there are two reasons why Your Excellency asked to go, one is that I and the others are extremely familiar with the terrain of Matsuura County, and we can persuade the defenders in the city to surrender on our behalf, after all, many of those guards are His Majesty's former subordinates" Seeing Masayo's hesitation, Cage Guy Tian Yasumasa immediately said, "Second, please also ask Your Highness to give your Highness a chance to let the ministers and others atone for their sins." ”

This time, because there was a traitor among them, they almost brought Luo Shifan into the enemy's sneak attack circle, and Tian Anchang, the cage hand, was angry. In fact, a long time ago, this traitor appeared among their more than 20 people, if it weren't for the fact that Tian Anchang and others often changed places, I am afraid they would have been rounded up by the Omura family and other powerful people. This time, as soon as they entered the mountain, the traitor among them immediately recognized the hidden markings peculiar to the Omura family, and then this traitor did not hesitate to act as a guide, leading everyone step by step to the raid circle.

Although this traitor was later killed by the cage hand Tian Anchang, they also paid a great price. Of the more than 20 people, there were less than 10 people left, and all of them were injured, and they almost brought Roche into danger. even let the head of the Luo family come to the rescue alone.

Therefore, Yasumasa Cagemate came with guilt this time.

"This? Okay, then please ask Lord Cator, as the deputy general of the second formation, to lead his subordinates to assist the family's strategy" Masato thought about it for a while, and finally agreed. According to this old man's temper, even if Zhengliang disagrees, he will forcibly follow the army, so it is better to agree to him directly.

The army rested at Matsugaku Castle for one day, and on the second day, under the watchful eyes of Masaya and others, it officially set off.

The 2nd Army Formation, with the 4th Standing Ashigaru Brigade as the main force, Kinoshita Masanao as the general, Shinnosuke Akabane as the military division, and Yasukei Cageateda, Uemura Mototsuna, and Tetsunosuke as the deputy generals took the lead in the attack.

The army set out from Hirota Castle along Omura Bay and conquered Itehira Castle and Sasebo Castle successively. The defenders fled along the way, and there was hardly a single enemy. When the army arrived at the city, it encountered desperate resistance.

It turned out that almost all the monks in the city were members of the Kamimatsuura clan, and these people were desperate and unyielding. After the last day, under the desperate assault of the cage hand Tian Anchang, the city gate was finally opened. At the insistence of Yasumasa Cage. The slaughter of Dachian Castle was carried out. At the end of the day, a fire burned down the castle. At this point, the Kamimatsuura clan was almost wiped out, and even if there were some distant relatives, it was estimated that they would hide in some deep mountains after learning about it. months later. The Kamimatsunura clan also followed in the footsteps of the Hirado Matsuura clan and disappeared into the long river of history. Only Matsuura, who is still lingering on Iki Island, is left behind.

Masayo also received the news of the massacre the day after the army was launched. In this regard, Masahiro just nodded, and then motioned for the army to continue to plan according to the established plan. Yasumasa was able to slaughter the city, at least the military advisor Shinnosuke Akabane in the army knew the way. Obviously, he didn't stop it, and even Masashi suspected that he would encourage the cage player Tian Anchang to do the same. Zhengliang understands the hard work of the military advisor, cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again. Just as he resolutely stepped into Tangjin City in the face of the angry scolding of the retainers that day, he also recited the scolding for Zhengliang this time. For this, Zhengliang is grateful, so he won't scold him for it.

After the fire burned down the castle, it also had another more far-reaching effect, that is, it heralded the official and complete extinction of the Kamimatsunura clan. So the resistors who still had hope no longer insisted and returned to their homes and became ordinary people, and after a few years, some of them may have gone out to work for the Luo family. Or directly become an honest farmer and live his life.

When these men died down, the pace of the second army was even smoother, on the third day of the march of the army. That is, on the 15th day of March in the 10th year of the Astronomical Calendar, the army conquered the last castle of the former Matsuura family in Biki County. So far. On the western shore of Omura Bay, the land of Biki-gun, which is connected to the Omura family, the Kamimatsunura family, and Matsuura County, is completely under the control of the Luo family. The Roche family and the Omura family are separated by Omura Bay and Sasebo Bay.

At the time when the second army formation was in the direction of the second army, the first army formation with the third standing ashigaru team as the main force, Yoshida Shigemasa as the general, Kakukuma Ishimune as the military division, and Ueda Shinji, Ahri, Date Masahiro, Kato Danzo, and Todan as the deputy generals, was even faster. On the day of the march, when they arrived at the inner castle on the coast of Imari Bay, they did not rush forward, but rested in the inner castle for a day. On the second day, with the cooperation of the naval forces in Imari Bay, the army swept all the way, conquering Oya Castle, Hakoya Castle, and Sato Castle respectively, and finally joined the second army formation that had just conquered Karakuya Castle, the last castle in Matsuura Prefecture. As for the two most important castles of the former Hirado Matsuura clan, Hirado Castle and Kagote Castle, they were burned down during the invasion of the Great Army, leaving only a pile of ruins and ruins.

At this time, they encountered the most difficult problem. It turned out that after the destruction of the Hirado Matsuura clan, the Hirado Matsuura clan naval army collapsed, and some of the naval forces took refuge in various powerful people, and some chose to become pirates. And now there is a group of pirates with twelve ships entrenched in Hirado Island in Matsuura County. And these pirates were the original naval army of the Hirado clan.

On the question of how to deal with this naval army, the retainers fell into disagreements, some advocated a strong attack, some advocated recruitment, and finally unanimously decided to prepare to report to the head of the family for a good decision. At this time, Noda Kazubing, the general of the second team of the navy army, who had been silent, said that he was familiar with the generals of this navy and was willing to go alone to recruit him. Yasumasa also said that they could go together to persuade him to surrender.

For Noda Ichibei's suggestion, it was supported by two military divisions. So Noda Kazubei and Cage Date Yasumasa landed on Hirado Island alone, and finally entered the lair of this naval army, Katsumi Prison Castle. After some bargaining, this water army was finally willing to join the Luo family. After that, Yasumasa refused to be retained by the Luo family, and after entrusting his subordinates to the Luo family, he resolutely became a monk at Dongguang Temple near Karawuya Castle and lived a reclusive life again.

At this point, Songpu County became the domain of the Luo family.

After confirming that the Omura family had only increased the number of defensive troops on the border of the territory and had made no other moves, Masara officially issued an order for each team to return to the station, and Masarashi returned to the lord's mansion in Notakayama.

On March 20, 1541, the tenth year of astronomical practice, a judgment was held in the council hall of the lord's mansion with the participation of most of the retainers.

"Your Highness, it is tentatively estimated that the income of Matsuura County is about 70,000 koku, and the territory of the Kamimatura family and the Omura family in Bisugu County occupied by the main family is about 30,000 koku, and the territory in the direction of Takeo Castle in Kitejima County is about 10,000 koku, and the current territory of the main family is estimated to be about 110,000 koku," Togo Heiji said in a trembling voice.

"Wow!" As soon as Togo Heiji's words came out, there was an uproar in the council hall. All the retainers rejoiced at the strength of the Luo family. 110,000 stones! If it is in some relatively barren places, it is even the head of a country. Even if the Luo family has not yet become the head of a country, such strength can be called a small name.

"Ahem," Masahiro pretended to be serious, signaling everyone to be quiet. At this moment, his heart was also happy. It's still a month away, and it's been a full year since I've been here. In this short year, Masahiro led the Luo family from a village that was infringed by bandits all the time to the most powerful powerful in Hizen Country, and Masahiro couldn't help but be unhappy.

After the retainers gradually quieted down, Togo Heiji, who had finally regained his calm, continued to report: "In terms of population, the preliminary statistics are about 70,000 people, and with the implementation of the law of the territory, it is expected that the population will increase after verification. In terms of military rations, a total of 800 stone of military rations were consumed in this raid, but a large amount of grain was captured, and the preliminary statistics were about 40,000 stones. The rest of the coins, weapons, and ores are still being cleaned and counted. ”

"Hmm," Masaro nodded. It's good to be able to verify the income and population of the territory in such a short period of time.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for your heroic killing in this raider, your merits, my family will not forget," Masashi said solemnly.

"Serve the head of the family!" All the retainers bowed down and saluted.

"Kakuma Ishizong. The 5,000-stone territory of Imari City is yours. Take care of it for me," Masarashi began to divide the way. According to Zhengliang's current policy of dividing the feuds, in fact, these feudal retainers have no land ownership, no power to issue laws and regulations privately, and no military mobilization power, and even the number of retainers is greatly restricted. They can only honestly take care of the territory that the lord has given him according to the laws of the territory, and then extract one-tenth of the final tax of the territory as income. Appropriately, they are the administrators who manage the territory for the head of the house.

Immediately afterwards, Masara divided the seals one by one for Shinnosuke Akabane, Masanao Kinoshita, Shigemasa Yoshida, Tankane, Tomohisa Oishi and others. The rest of the retainers who did not have a territorial reward also received heavy gold rewards, as well as certificates of appreciation for honor, and the "Eagle Feather" medal. It can be said that everyone has been rewarded. Everyone is quite satisfied with this.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has requested a name change" After rewarding the naval general Noda Ichibing, he suddenly bowed down and saluted, "Your Majesty's original family was the Tao family, but later due to the war, it was changed to Noda, and the Minister hopes to restore the original name of Tao Masato." ”

"Exactly! From now on, you'll be called Tao Masato," Masarashi agreed.

After "Yoshinomaru" rewarded everyone, Masarashi called the name of the small surname Yoshinomaru.
