As for the strategy of the southeastern region of Bunzen Province and the northeastern region of Bungo Province, the best time to send troops is to wait for the success of the local strategy and create great contradictions and chaos in the local area. After everything was arranged, Masara quietly waited for the opportunity on the border between the two regions.

In October of the 22nd year of Astronomy, while Masarashi was closely monitoring the situation in the southeastern part of Bunzen Province and the northeastern part of Bungo Province, news came from Iki Island that shocked Masara. The Hakata family, which had been against the Luo family before, actually entrusted the Hidaka family, who had already surrendered to the Luo family in the local area, to express their surrender to the Luo family.

The surrender of the Bojia family is also very much related to the drought this time. Long after the Luo family repeatedly conquered the eastern part of Chikuzen Province and the northern part of Bunzen Province the year before last, the Luo family had already torn up the original four-party maritime negotiation and agreement with the Tsushima clan, the Iki Island Hakata family, and the Ouchi family, and reimposed an embargo on Tsushima Island and Iki Island for goods such as grain, allowing only general goods and materials to enter these two places, but there were no restrictions on the materials shipped from these two places.

For such a shameless move by the Luo family, the Zong family and the Bo family were indeed very angry. But it was unable to fight back against the Luo family. Because even if they also imposed an embargo on the Luo family, at most it would only affect the Luo family's trade with North Korea (and this process would first affect Shimai Soshige, who was the intermediary between the Luo family and the Korean trade), and the rest of the Luo family's trade would not be affected.

Moreover, the Luo family did not completely ban the maritime trade between the two places, but only the trade of materials they urgently needed such as food. Sadly, they can't prohibit the circulation of such things within their territory. It is even more impossible to prohibit the flow of these materials to the Luo family. Because they also need these supplies urgently.

Meantime. If they do something beyond the scope of the Luo family's prohibition on trading materials, they will offend all those merchants because of this. The most important thing is that these merchants are also their lifeblood. Therefore, for the embargo of the Luo family, they can only be annoyed but cannot fight back.

As for the impact of the embargo on the Luo family, the Tsushima clan was a little better, and at most he lost trade from the Kanto Strait and the Iki Waterway. For the most urgently needed food and other materials on the island, the clan of Tsushima could still obtain them from Korea, Izumo Province in San'in, and even further afield from Wakasa and Kuga.

Iki Island, on the other hand, was almost locked down because of this. After all, after the Luo family occupied Higo Province, Hizen Province, Chikuzen Province, and Nagato Province, all his trade routes to Kyushu and Honshu had been blocked. Even the sea lanes with the Ming side were blocked. The only thing he could rely on was Tsushima. But at this time, Tsushima Island is also difficult to protect itself. For places such as Korea and Izumo Province that flow through Tsushima Island, the local grain was first taken by the Zong family themselves, and there is still a chance for the Banda family.

After nearly two years of blockade, there has been a shortage of food in the territory of Bojia, and in addition to the drought this year, not only the ordinary people in Bojia, but even some of the retainers are short of food. In order to satisfy hunger, there have even been cases of people eating tree bark. Seeing such a situation at home, the Boduo family began to discuss the matter of giving in to the Luo family, and some people even tried to take the opportunity to force the woman in the background of the Boduo family to step down.

The two sides are fighting. After many years in power in Boda, Tai Jiuling's sister Tai Jiufei finally handed over the family power under the pressure of the retainers. And as a hostage who apologized to the Roche family, he was about to be sent to the Hakata Port of the Roche family.

October 14, 22nd year of astronomy. On this day, a ship flying the flag of the Hakata family crest sailed into the base of the Roche family navy in Hakata Port. And Zhengliang and others also waited at the dock of the navy, waiting to accept the surrender of the Bo family.

Masashi and the others met with the group from the Bo family in a room on the pier. There were only five people who were qualified to enter the house to meet Masayo, and the leader was none other than the puppet family governor of the Bo family, who was carrying a timid little girl behind him. In addition to Hatataka and the little girl, there were two loyal retainers of Hatalong, Nao Tsuruta and Ariurataka, and the governor of the Hidaka family, who accompanied them.

"Meet the repairman, and the Bowa family is willing to surrender to the repairman." When they saw Masayo, Hakaron and the others immediately kowtowed to show their submission.

After receiving the salute, Zhengliang raised his right hand slightly: "Everyone, please get up, you can come down at this time to show that Your Highness understands the righteousness, and if you have any requests, just put it forward." ”

The leader of the group, Potolon immediately bowed deeply. Bang! The floor is about to knock out of the pits. "The body of the micro-end, how dare you have any requirements, only ask the repair doctor to be able to open the net to protect the Boduo family, and the rest dare not be extravagant."

"Hmm. It's just that why didn't you see Lady Sanyun this time? "Mrs. Sanyun is referring to Tai Jiu Ling's sister Tai Jiu Fei, which is her way to become a monk. In the letter sent by the Boka family before, it was written that Mrs. Sanyun would come to surrender in person, but now Masara could not see an elderly woman in the crowd of the Boka family, which can only show that Mrs. Sanyun did not come this time. And for too long sitting next to Zhengliang, Ling's face was already a little anxious because she didn't see her sister at this time. So Zhengliang had no choice but to ask.

Tai Jiu Ling also rushed to Hakata Port from Hizen Kokugakufufu Castle after receiving a notice from Masayo, in order to meet her long-lost sister. And in order to let the two sisters meet smoothly, this time, Zhengliang didn't even bring other retainers, only him and Taijiu Ling.

The reason why Zhengliang did this was to take care of Tai Jiuling's feelings, and secondly, he hoped that through the recognition of the two, he would take the opportunity to appease the emotions of the Bojia family, so that the Luo family could smoothly accept the entire territory of Iki Island in the future. It's just that now it seems that his plan is going to be ruined, and Lady Sankumo, who is one of the protagonists, did not come.

In the face of Masaliang's inquiry, Hatolong's expression darkened, and the two retainers behind him lowered their heads a little ashamedly. The change in their expressions immediately attracted the attention of Zhengliang. Something seems to be wrong. Zhengliang immediately asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"My lord. Lady Sanyun has returned to heaven a few days ago! Seeing this, the Japanese high-ranking officials on the side immediately reported.

"Ahh After hearing this, Zheng Conscience was a little surprised, but Tai Jiuling on the side directly exclaimed in shock.

"Say, tell the whole story as it is." Zhengliang immediately ordered. Originally, he said that he would come to apologize to him in person, but now he died suddenly, and something must have happened in the middle.

"Woo woo woo ......" As soon as Masara finished speaking, Hatolong, who was next, suddenly began to cry, and the little girl behind him, who looked to be only about ten years old, also began to cry. As for his two retainers, their faces were still full of shame.

"Your Highness Porto. Please also mourn, at this time, you must not be rude in front of the repair doctor! Seeing this, Hidaka on the side first glanced at Masayo, and found that Masayo was startled by the sudden scene, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to whisper to Hatolong next to him.

After the latter got the hint, he immediately stopped his tears, and then kowtowed to Zhengliang again with a crying voice and pleaded: "It's all incompetent, please repair the doctor to administer justice for the mother below!" Then he slowly told Masato what happened.

Here's what happened. After being forced to abdicate by the ministers in the family, Mrs. Sanyun lived in seclusion in the backyard of her home. However, the retainers who had obtained the right to take over the family were not satisfied, and they forced Lady Mikumo to go to Hakata Port to surrender to the Luo family. Several of them also tried to marry Lady Mikumo in order to achieve the goal of annexing the Hakata family. Due to the drought and the blockade of trade routes, many people in the family have been damaged. Therefore, when Mrs. Sanyun was persecuted, only the family of Nao Tsuruta and Ariurataka firmly stood on the side of the Hakata family, and the rest of the retainers who were originally on the side of Mrs. Sankumo either stood on the opposite side or remained silent, so the strength of Mrs. Sankumo's side at this time was obviously not the opponent of the persecution side.

Faced with these retainers who tried to take advantage of the opportunity to get their hands on the Hakata family, Lady Mikumo pretended to agree to these people's requests (as for her remarriage, she asked the retainers to choose the final candidate for her own before consulting with her), and then after returning to the backyard, she made some arrangements for the family. In the end, on a night when no one was around, he set himself on fire to the house where he lived, and there was not even a bone left.

A fierce woman, everyone after knowing the news of the Tao all thought so. Where she set herself on fire, there was still a plum tree that had been half charred. The side that was not burned was covered with white flowers overnight.

Now that Lady Mikumo is dead, the retainers have no choice but to let Hatolong, who is the puppet governor, come and surrender to Masayo. Later, these retainers put on the idea of the only daughter left by Lady Mikumo. But Lady Sanyun had already made arrangements for this before committing suicide, and she had already sent her daughter to the high level of the Luo family in advance, and asked her to send her daughter to her sister Taijiu Ling in front of the fat. And this time, the ten-year-old girl who followed behind Hatolong was Lady Mikumo's daughter. At the same time, he entrusted Rigaozi to send it to Taijiu Ling, as well as a letter from Mrs. Sanyun, in which he wrote:

I hereby present this book.

The troubled times are dusty, unbearable; The rise and fall of things are inconceivable.

Fukakumaru (that is, Hatataraka) and Yingji (Lady Sankumo's biological daughter Taijiuying) are like withered leaves in the frost, lonely and helpless, and they are sent to the king's place to take care of them.

I hope that he will finally see him under the Yellow Spring.

On a bright spring day, Komatsu is no longer there.

It's been too long, and the morning light is still there?

"Hey!" After reading Mrs. Sanyun's letter, even Zhengliang couldn't help but sigh. As for the long time next to him, Ling had already cried into tears. Mrs. Sanyun's arrangement before her death (whether it was the puppet family governor or her own daughter was sent to the Luo family), it was equivalent to allowing the Luo family to control all the rights of the Bojia family, which would help the Luo family to control the Bojia family smoothly. But can't this woman just wait? With her wrist, she could completely endure the Luo family's entry into the territory of the Bojia family. At that time, with her cooperation, these retainers who tried to get involved with her and the Bojia family were just local chickens and dogs. It seems that her death is not only a struggle against these rebellious retainers, but also a silent struggle against the Luo family. What a Warring States martyr.

Originally, Masa-liang was full of hope to meet this strange woman who had almost killed him and opposed him three or four times, but now he can't even see the fast bones.

"What was your mother's favorite place when she was alive?" After pondering for a while, Masarashi then asked Hatolon. Podolon was not actually born to Lady Sankumo, but was the nephew of Lady Sangumo, and it was Lady Sanyun who came to power as a puppet governor to become Lady Sangumo's son. It is precisely because he has been a puppet that he doesn't know how to deal with the forced palace of his family when he is forced by the retainers and the division of the family.

"My mother's favorite place to go when she was alive was Joshoin Temple outside Kishigakuyama Castle." After thinking for a while, Podolon immediately said. Joshoin Temple was originally a temple outside Kishidake Mountain Castle, but it was burned down during a fierce battle between the Luo family and the Hakata family outside Kishidake Mountain Castle. Only a few abandoned yards remained. However, Zhengliang knows that there are many white plums planted in several deserted yards. It is estimated that Mrs. Sanyun likes white plums, so it's no wonder that there are white plum trees in her residence in Iki.

"In that case, I'll send someone to renovate it, and bury your mother back there." Her future legal name will be changed to Mrs. Baimei. Zhengliang immediately decided.

"Thank you, Doctor Repair." Podolon said immediately.

"This is Mrs. Baimei's daughter?" After settling down with Mrs. Hakumei's death, Masara immediately looked at the little girl who was timidly hiding behind Hatolong and spoke.

"It's the sister!"

So at the suggestion of Hato Dolon and Hidako, the little girl came to Masayo a little timidly and saluted:

"Little girl Ah Ying, meet the repair doctor." The voice was small, but it was as pleasant as a yellow warbler, but the appearance was very rigid, and it was obvious that someone had taught her to do so beforehand.

"Ah, poor little fellow. In the future, she will be my adopted daughter, and her surname does not need to be changed, and she will be handed over to you in the future. Zhengliang looked at the little girl with a little pity, and then said to Taijiu Ling, whose mood had stabilized on the side.

"The concubine thanked her husband." Taijiu Ling immediately said gratefully. Her sister, Mrs. Baimei, is dead, and she decides to pour all her love for her sister into the biological flesh and blood left by her sister, and raise her like her own daughter.

After accepting the surrender of Hatolong and his party, Masara immediately sent Li Huamei's First Standing Naval Army into Iki to take over the territory of Hata. At this point, Iki Island also became the domain of the Luo family. Zhengliang then gave this island to Li Huamei as her fief. She is good at business at home, and she can help the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet to further manage the commercial industry on Iki Island.

In the following year or two, Masahiro used various means to eradicate the retainers who forced Mrs. Baimei one by one, and completely won the loyalty of the Bo family such as Hado Long. At this point, the Bojia family, which was once the most powerful enemy of the Luo family when it was just rising, and had fought against the Luo family for more than ten years, finally integrated into the ruling system of the Luo family, became a member of the Luo family, and shined for the great cause of the Luo family.
