Masaara's reward order for the search of the Tao Long House is not only fragrant for the retainers and samurai who were abandoned by the master's family, but also for the rest of the people.

For those little tyrants and small landlords who only have a dozen or so family governors and all the retainers and soldiers, they don't know what the situation of the land at home is now, and under normal circumstances, they will basically be swallowed up by more powerful heroes soon. They are also very confused, since this is the case, then now that there is such a broad road to becoming a direct minister of the Luo family in front of them, it is better to seize the opportunity and start a new life from scratch. Anyway, as long as they are not dead, even if they lose their family territory or even their family bloodline, they can still create a new family business in another place.

At the bottom of the list are the lowest ronin warriors and soldiers. For them, this reward order is simply a super sweet and sweet food that changes their status in life. As long as they find the Tao Long Room first, their lives will be turned upside down immediately, so this group of talents is the most attentive to this reward order.

For Tao Longfang, Zhengliang also has the mentality of saving each other as much as possible. With his help, the Luo family was not only able to quickly recruit many Tao family defeated soldiers on the island, but also quickly played a great role in Zhengliang's next plan. Of course, all this is also based on Tao Longfang's willingness to surrender to the Luo family, if Tao Longfang is unwilling to surrender, then don't blame the political conscience for being ruthless.

And this time, the reward order for the search of the Tao Long Room, in addition to achieving the purpose of searching for the Tao Long Room, also secretly boosted the intensity of the fierce competition between the forces on the island.

Affected by the so-called "nomination" of the Luo family. In order to get rewards (mainly food) from the Luo family and to get the attention of the Luo family. The many forces on the island that have surrendered to the Luo family have not only joined forces to attack those forces that are unwilling to surrender to the Luo family. Even in places where the Luo family could not notice, there would be firefights between the inside, and then the corpses of the defeated side would be used as their own votes. Moreover, the competition between them can not only reduce the strength of their force, but also further accelerate the consumption rate of their own reserve food. Without food, they are naturally more easily controlled by the Luo family's army.

For such a thing, Zhengliang naturally knew about it, but not only would he not stop it. They will even secretly agitate. Because there are too many soldiers on the island who have not yet died in battle (at least tens of thousands), once they all surrender to the Luo family, and the Luo family cannot immediately and completely believe them, it is natural that they can only stay on Itsukushima for the time being. Then the food consumed by these people every day needs to be provided by the Luo family, even if they are only provided with porridge that can barely survive every day, it will consume a lot of the Luo family's reserve food.

Of course, Masaro can also choose to ignore these guys and just trap them on Itsukushima. But if these people go through the clean-up of the Luo family and initially gain the trust of the Luo family, they will play a lot of roles in Zhengliang's next plan. Therefore, it is indeed impossible to give up.

So, with the release of the Taulung House Search Reward Order. Those Maori and Tao families who had already surrendered to the Luo family immediately threw themselves into various parts of Itsukushima and searched for Tao Longfang.

In the evening, when the search operation for the Tao Long House was in full swing, Kunatong, who was patrolling the waters around Itsukushima nearby, suddenly sent someone to deliver an urgent report.

"Oh? How could there be such a thing? After reading the emergency report, Zhengliang was immediately surprised. It turned out that this afternoon, the patrol of the fleet, suddenly spotted a suspicious fleet of more than a dozen ships sailing in the nearby waters. This fleet immediately attracted the attention of Guna Tong, and he immediately ordered his own fleet to besiege the other party.

After being surrounded by the Luo family's navy, this fleet also cooperated to accept the inspection of the Luo family's navy, although they claimed to be a commercial fleet that inadvertently entered the sea area controlled by the Luo family, but they could not deceive Hu Natong at all. Because he had only received a notice from the Intelligence Pavilion this morning, he learned that the waters of the Seto Inland Sea and the Anyun Beach had completely fallen into the hands of the Luo family's navy, so it was impossible for these ships claiming to be merchant ships to enter the vicinity of Itsukushima from the periphery smoothly at this time, and the only analysis was that they were originally the Mori or Tao clan's navy ships hiding in this area.

So under the torture of several detectives who temporarily acted as executioners, the crew of the ship admitted that they were the Mori family's sailors, and after they were responsible for sending Mori Motomasa and others to the coast of Aki Province last night, they had been lying in ambush in a nearby bay, preparing to wait for an opportunity to approach Itsukushima, and according to Mori Motosa's orders, they tried to pick up Mori Motosa's third son, Kobayakawa Takakei, back to Aki Province along the coast.

"Ha Luha, although I left the Maori Yuan as a big fish, but I also left a small fish called Kobayakawa Takakei!" After learning that Takakei Kobayakawa was still on Itsukushima, Masarashi couldn't help but be happy.

Kobayakawa Takakei is the key figure of Kobayakawa in the Maori Yuan family, whether it is capturing Kobayakawa Takakei alive or killing Kobayakawa Takakei, it will be a great blow to Maori Motoshi (there will be great pain in losing a child) and the Maori family. So, Masara immediately issued a reward order to the island to capture Kobayakawa Takakei, no matter whether Kobayakawa Takakei lives or dies, as long as he can send the body of the queen to the ship of the Luo family, he can directly become a direct minister of the Luo family.

As soon as the news came out, it naturally triggered a wave of search for people on the island.

The time soon came to the morning of October 3, and the first person to be brought to Masara alive was Kobayakawa Takakei, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. Speaking of which, he was also unlucky enough, after chasing Tao Longfang in the mountains and forests for a day and a night, he found that the manpower around him was not enough to continue to search for Tao Longfang, so he ran out again, originally planning to pull a few Maori troops to assist in the search.

And it just so happened that the first team of troops he encountered was the army that surrendered to the Luo family's preparation of China's small forces, because Kobayakawa Takakei had just come out of the mountains and forests, and he didn't know the situation of Itsukushima at this time, so he really thought that the team he met was still his own family, so he immediately beckoned them to move forward together.

And the commander of the Xiaohao clan who was greeted was also very smart, and after discovering the abnormality of Kobayakawa Takakei, he immediately looked for an opportunity to find out the fact that Kobayakawa Takakei did not know the outside situation of Kobayakawa Takake, so he immediately pretended to be the military of the Maori family and continued to have a relationship with Kobayakawa Takakei, on the other hand, he took advantage of Kobayakawa Takakei to enter the mountains and forests and disperse the people out of the mountain to search for Tao Longfang, and immediately took action, gathered his fake army to help search for the army, and then besieged Kobayakawa Takakei and others.

Kobayakawa Takakei is better at military strategy and internal affairs, but as for Wu Yong, he is actually not as brave as Yoshikawa Motoharu, even with the desperate protection of dozens of guards, Kobayakawa Takakei was finally captured alive by the small hao clan forces who were several times their size in preparation, and finally sent to Masayo.

Kobayakawa Takakei hadn't reacted to the fact that the fruits of his family's victory in the battle against the Tao family had been picked by the Luo family at this time (on the way to the Luo family's ship, the soldiers of the wealthy clan who had already surrendered to the Luo family had already explained the situation on the island to Kobayakawa Takakei at this time), so even when he saw Masayo, he still had a dull expression. Zhengliang had no choice but to order someone to take people down and take good care of them.

After escorting Kobayakawa Takakei, Masarashi also personally met with the leader of the Xiaohao clan who captured Kobayakawa Takakei alive.

The leader of the Xiaohao clan didn't expect that this time he would really be able to get a personal reception from Zhengliang, so he came to Zhengliang a little nervously and excitedly and saluted:

"The villain meets the Roche house, the fat queen, the big jai, the big man, the repair doctor, the Kyushu probe, the Masara."

"You're Hidean Togawa?" After the leader of the little Hao clan sat down, Masahiro immediately asked with a smile.

Who is Hidean Togawa? Speaking of Togawa Hideyasu, first of all, I have to talk about the Ukita Naoyashi family, who is called the "Three Evil Men of the Warring States" together with Saito Michizo and Matsunaga Hide. The Ukita family is a branch of the Bizen wealthy Miyake family, which has Kojima, also known as Ukita or Ukita, and has served the guardian Akamatsu family and the Daiurakami family successively. The Ukita Naoya family was the second only conspirator in the Sengoku period after Saito Michizo, and for decades without a war, he relied on marriage and assassination to gain territory, and finally defeated the main family, completely supporting the former and Misaku two kingdoms. In history, when Oda and Mori were fighting, he fell to the Eastern Army in time, and before he died of illness, he entrusted himself to the general of the Oda Army, Hashiba Hideyoshi (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi), and asked him to take care of his son Ukita Hideya.

According to the information from the previous intelligence cabinet, the Ukita Naojia at this time had been ordered by the governor of the Urakami family, Urakami Munekei, to take dozens of retainers to Ashigaru to defend Otoko Castle at the mouth of the Yoshii River in Bizen Province. The Kojima-gun to the west of Otoko Castle belonged to the Shikoku Hosokawa family, the Kamido County to the north belonged to the rival Matsuda family, and the pirates on Seto Inland Sea Dog Island often went to land to plunder the property of the people, so it can be said that it was attacked on three sides, and this castle was exactly the time when the retainers needed to stay at home to assist the family governor in guarding the castle, but what puzzled Masarashi was why Togawa Hideyasu, one of the three elders of the Uki family in the future, appeared here, and also participated in the Mori family's strategy against Itsukushima?

Even though the power of the Ouchi family and the Mori family had invaded the coastal area of Bizen Province before, after a detailed investigation from the front of the Luo family's reconnaissance, Masara learned that when the combined forces of the Ouchi family and the Mori family jointly invaded the coast of Bizen Province, they were repelled by the wealthy families of Bizen Province led by the Urakami family. In other words, even after Yoshitaka Ouchi was killed, it should be impossible for the Mori family to extend their power to Bizen Province in such a short period of time. So why did the Uki family get involved with the Mori family? (To be continued......)
