"Hmph, it's just a pretense because of the situation." Shinnosuke Akabane said as he looked at the few surrender letters from the Shaoji family, the Kamiyo family, the Lingbe family, the Arima family, the Omura family, and the Saigo family.

Since the Ouchi family and the Luo family announced at the same time that they would inherit the position of Hizen guardian, the various wealthy families of Hizen Country have reacted. First of all, the Shao Er family, in fact, many Haoqiang are watching the actions of the Shao Er family, after all, he was originally the guardian of the fat front, and now he has been snatched away by the Luo family, all the Haoqiang are watching his reaction, and after confirming her reaction, these Haoqiang can make a statement.

Although the new governor of the Shao Er family, Shao Er Zhengxing, was very unwilling, he knew that he hated Duo Haoqiang at this moment, and he would watch his actions, especially the Luo family, once he reacted slowly, he was likely to be attacked by the Luo family in the name of disrespect. And when the time comes, even the Ouchi family, which is close at hand, will not be able to help him. And with him, he is a Mutian City, and he can't stop the other party's army around him at all. So he quickly sent someone to send a surrender letter to the Luo family.

With the Shao Er family as an example, the surrounding Kamiyo family, the Ling family, the Yokoki family, and the Honsu family also immediately sent envoys to the Luo family and sent a letter of submission. Even the slightly remote Arima family, the Omura family, and the Saigo family sent envoys and sent a letter of submission at the same time.

"At least the family has nominally unified Hizen Province!" Kakukuma Ishizong on the other side said.

"If Your Highness plans to swallow up these families, Your Majesty has a plan here." Shinnosuke Akabane.

"What's the plan?" Masara asked.

"Issue an order for these heads of families to come to the village to discuss matters." Shinnosuke Akabane said.

"Do you follow the plan of the young second family to deal with their own family?" Masato said in a low voice. It can almost be determined. After this summoning order was issued, these families categorically did not come. From this time on, they didn't even send a single retainer, only a few samurai. When the time comes, you can crusade against them under the pretext of disrespect.

"These few are just superficially subdued, and sooner or later they need to find a way to completely subdue or get rid of them." Kakukuma Ishizong agreed.

"No, even if it's not the time to crusade against the other party." Zhengliang said, "The family has just occupied a new territory, and it will take time to completely control these places in Zhejiang. Moreover, the newly recruited Ashigaru is still in training, and just relying on his current combat strength, he is likely to be besieged by several powerful forces. What's more, I don't know what the allies of the Dao family mean. ”

"Why don't you ask Lord Duanmu Kiyomasa, who is currently at Ouchi's house, to ask?" Kakukuma Ishizong said.

"Hmph. His Majesty thought there was no need to ask. Shinnosuke Akabane said, "With the Ouchi family still leaving the Murata Castle of the Young Second Family in a good situation, I know the intentions of the Ouchi family." ”

Hearing this, Masashi and Kakuma Ishizong glanced at each other, and saw a dignified look in each other's eyes.

"The worst plan is that the family and the Ouchi family will completely turn face." Kakuma Ishizong said slowly.

"Not necessarily." Masato decided. According to historical development, Yoshitaka Ouchi will soon fall into a period of "discouragement", and at that time, no matter how small actions he makes, he will feel that he can tolerate it or be too lazy to pay attention to it. And now, the Ouchi family has just won a big victory over the Niko family, and it is the time when the heart is arrogant. If you offend its majesty at this time, you will inevitably incur a violent response. It's better to put up with it for a while. Wait for the time. Ay! As the saying goes, strength is everything. Even if the Luo family is already a powerful family with more than 200,000 stones, it still needs to be cautious when facing the Ouchi family that controls several countries.

"Yes" Seeing that the head of the family suddenly decided to deal with the various wealthy families who surrendered, the two military advisors glanced at each other, and chose to obey their words very tacitly.

"But it doesn't make them feel better." Zhengliang said, "In the future, the Black Eagle and the Detective of this family will all be deployed by you, and you must turn these powerful territories upside down." ”

"Yes. Your Highness. Shinyuki Akabane replied understandingly.

After deciding on the disposal of each Haoqiang, Zhengliang lived a busy life again.

On this day, he was looking through the territory account book sent by Togo Heiji in the council hall of the village city. At this time, the small surname Murakami Bukit came to report, saying that Kamiya Shaoce was out asking to see him.

In fact, after Kamiya Shaoce disembarked at Karajin Bay, Masato knew that he had arrived.

Since last year, Kamiya Shaoce almost died of typhoid fever, and he happened to be saved by the miracle medicine sent by Masahiro. Kamiya Sauze entered a state of recuperation. This time, it should be Zhilu who said the great changes that happened before fattening, and he really couldn't sit still anymore, so he hurriedly ran with his body that had just recovered from a serious illness.

Masashi directly met with Kamiya Sakuse in the council hall.

"Meet Hizen Guardian-sama." As soon as Kamiya Susece came in, he immediately gave a rather respectful salute to Masahiro.

"Hehe, Lord Kamiya-sama is exempt." Masara said with a smile to Kamiya Sauze. "It's a pleasure to see that Kamiya-sama is in good health."

"Thanks to Hizen Morimon-sama for saving his life." Kamiya Shaoce once again put his hands on the ground and saluted respectfully.

"I don't know what happened to Kamiya-sama this time?" Masara asked. The two sides are already acquaintances, so there is no need for too much politeness.

"That's right, there are three main things to do here." Kamiya Sakure said respectfully, "First of all, the fifty war horses that Hizen Mori Saemon bought from Kamiya's house and Naya have already arrived at the adult's ranch, and I believe that the ranch will send a small message soon." ”

"It's just wonderful." Masarashi said happily. The newly formed cavalry team of 100 men was unable to fully train because of the lack of war horses, and now with these 50 war horses, this problem is completely solved.

"In addition, the profits from the snow salt sold by the adults of the family have purchased fifty ploughing cattle from Iki, which have also arrived at Karatsu Bay, and when I came down, Togo Heiji-sama was already receiving the ploughing cattle." Kamiya Sautze continued.

"It's hard work, and it's hard work." Masara thanked.

"The second thing is to give two items to Hizen Morimon-sama." After returning the salute, Kamiya Shaoze continued. "This tea kettle is called Oto-Gozen Cauldron, and it was obtained by accident next time, and now I will give it to Lord Morizen of Hizen to congratulate you on becoming the lord of a country." After speaking, Kamiya Shaoce took out a wooden box placed beside him and opened it. I saw a delicate tea kettle wrapped in cloth inside.

"Such precious things must be kept as family treasures in the future." Zhengliang said solemnly. In this day and age, it is rude to refuse a gift from someone in person. Although Masayo, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of beautiful ceramics in later generations, was not very interested in this tea soup kettle. However, in this era, such a tea kettle is kept as a family treasure, and the owner will not easily take it out to meet guests. I won't give it to anyone else. It seems that Kamiya Shaoce has something important to ask for today, and it is precisely because of this that Masahiro did not decide to break this tea kettle. And in my impression, this Oto-Gomae Kama was later obtained by Oda Nobunaga, and then given to Shibata Katsuie, who kept it as a family treasure. Unexpectedly, today Masarashi got Oda Nobunaga's treasure in advance.

After seeing Masarashi accept the gift, Kamiya Sakura looked very happy, and then continued, "I wonder if Lord Saemon can move outside the hall after Higo Tsumichi. Another gift brought under today is in the courtyard outside. ”

"Huh?" Masara felt a little curious. What gifts need to be moved to the courtyard outside is such an exaggeration. So Masahiro followed Kamiya Suse to the porch of the council hall. He looked in the direction of Kamiya Sauze's eyes.

I saw only a black horse in the courtyard. After looking closely, I saw that the war horse seemed to be covered in black. Each part is well matched, and it seems that every muscle shows strength, making it feel very toned at first glance.

Zhengliang didn't say a word, and walked quickly to the war horse. Amazingly, this war horse turned out to be quite docile and allowed to be stroked by Zhengliang.

"Ha Lu haha" Zhengliang laughed, turned over and rode on the horse, and pulled the reins, and the horse turned out to be two hooves territory. Stood up in a herringbone pattern. The sudden situation frightened several people around him and the guards, and even Kamiya Shoce himself was sweating.

"It's okay," Masarashi exclaimed, then patted the horse on the back and said, "Come on, let's go outside and hire." After saying that, Masayo pulled the reins. As if human, the horse really turned and raised its hooves and crawled out of the gate of the courtyard. The people behind him hurriedly chased after him.

But the steed was extremely fast, and in an instant it rushed out of the courtyard gate, and then swept through the gate with lightning on the surprised looks of the cloaks of the city guards. Directly into the avenue outside the city.

Under the warm sun, a black war horse swept like lightning across the avenue in the field. Masara felt the rapidly receding fields around him and the thunderous wind, and his mood was indescribably smooth.

It's a really good horse!

After galloping outside the city on a horse, Masara finally rode his war horse under the persuasion of the retainers who were chasing after him, and returned to the village castle under the escort of everyone. At this time, Kamiya Shaoce had been anxiously waiting at the city gate for a long time. He didn't fully expect that Masato would run out of the country directly on horseback. If Zhengliang had three long and two short outside, not only would his real purpose today not be achieved, but even his life would have to be explained here.

"Tell me, what are you doing when you came to me today?" After returning to the council hall and sitting down again, Masato asked directly. This guy from Shenwu Shaoce has sent so many family treasures today, he must have something to ask for.

"Hizen Shouzaemon-sama, this horse is called Baili Hei, and it's a good horse that I just bought a while ago, and the last time I heard that my lord's war horse had a crazy accident, so this good horse can just be given to adults." Kamiya Saute said first.

"Hundred miles of black, hehe, yes, it is indeed like black lightning, a hundred miles in an instant." Masarashi said with satisfaction, "I'll take this war horse." ”

"It's an honor for Hizen Morimon-sama to be able to take this horse." Kamiya Susei immediately bowed down and said, and then his expression suddenly became solemn, "Hizen Morisaemon-sama, the third request I made here today is that the Shimogamiya family wants to become a vassal of the Luo family. Please. With that, he leaned over to the ground.

"Huh?" Zhengliang was immediately stunned when he heard this.
