Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 852 Fighting against Japanese pirates is everyone’s responsibility

So in the end, the caliber was unified, and Nijo Kanshiro took the initiative to investigate and deal with the Japanese pirates who had caused disaster for the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the top officials of Shimadzu, Matsuura, and Uku refused to surrender, so they fought back, and eventually died together with Nijo Kanshiro.

As for the follow-up matters, the second son, Lai Cheng, and Otomo Senshi said excitedly on the spot that everyone has a responsibility to fight against Japanese pirates!This root cause of harm to the people of Ming Dynasty and disaster to Kyushu must be eradicated!

No matter how close the person is, no matter how close the relationship is, once it is confirmed that they are a Japanese pirate, they must be exterminated out of justice!
Therefore, everyone present should also take action and actively fight against Japanese pirates.Whoever strikes harder means that he has nothing to do with the Japanese pirates.On the contrary, whoever is perfunctory or even shields the Japanese pirates is an accomplice of the Japanese pirates and must also be severely punished.

Shao Er and Dayou said one thing after another, which made the officials and local tycoons stunned for a while, but they generally understood.

It was the Ming Dynasty that wanted to liquidate the Japanese pirates. Shao Er and the Otomo family decided to sell the Shimadzu family to settle the account, but it was difficult to sell them directly, so they roped in the Nijo family to take the blame.

As for whether Nijōri was killed by the Shimazu family, that was obviously not the case. How could the Shimazu family stab him to death with their bare hands?But everyone in the Shimadzu family present was dead, so he had to bear the crime even if he didn't.

This adds another charge of killing Guan Bai.The two of them could confidently attack the Shimazu family in the name of the imperial court.

Anyone who refuses to join the crusade, or who does not contribute to the work, will be designated as a Japanese pirate and will be punished together.

What's there to hesitate about?As a result, all officials and local tyrants denounced the Japanese pirates with righteous indignation and actively signed up to join the conquest army.

Otomo took out the petition he had written a long time ago and asked everyone to sign it, and then asked them to send people out separately to deliver the order to mobilize all the troops in Ono Castle to surround the Shimazu family's military camp and Shimazu Yoshiguro's camp. residence.

The Shimadzu family has always been the most diligent in fighting. This time, they basically mobilized all their troops. The navy has basically been defeated in the battle of Hakata Bay, and even Shimadzu was killed in the battle.

In the previous battle to defend the Protectorate Shrine, the Shimazu family suffered the greatest losses. Even the head of the family was injured and on the verge of death. Now it was really a matter of taking advantage of his illness to kill him...

The Shimazu family's army was leaderless and was surrounded by various armies. They didn't know what happened.As a result, they were caught off guard. Although they put up a strong resistance, they were ultimately outnumbered and completely annihilated.

The second son, Raicheng, and Otomo's relatives did not stop doing anything, and immediately sent troops south to march towards the Shimazu family's territory.

Local tycoons from all walks of life were very active and rushed to send troops to join the "crusade against Japanese pirates".First, in order to clear the relationship with the Japanese pirates, and secondly, each family suffered heavy losses in the previous battles with the Celestial Empire. Now one of the three people, the Shimazu family, suddenly fell. Who would let this person lie on its corpse and eat a few pieces? Meat, what about a chance to get some blood back?

If the Ming army took action directly, the Shimazu family would most likely still have one breath left.After all, a large family that has been inherited for hundreds of years has so many branches that outsiders can't tell which ones are the small families that are attached to them and which ones are their own branches.

Southern Kyushu is a mountainous area with complex terrain, and there are also outlying islands such as Tanegashima. The Shimazu clan can hide and wait for the Ming army to withdraw before coming out.

But if Kyushu's local tycoon takes action, the Shimadzu family will have no chance of survival.What branches the Shimazu clan has, where they live, where they can hide... they all know it clearly.

Kyushu's local tyrants decided to spend one year carrying out a carpet cleaning of Southern Kyushu, not sparing any village and not leaving any Shimadzu man behind.

Anyway, the mortal enemy has been completely formed, so let it be completely dead.Then not only do they have to peel off the skin and cramps, but they also have to pick off the meat from the bones.

Therefore, those who can cause the greatest harm are always our own people.The Shimazu family, which had been entrenched in Minami Kyushu for hundreds of years, was uprooted by its former companions. The family name became extinct and disappeared completely in the long river of history.

As for the Shimazu family's women, residents, land and property, as well as those vassal families, they were naturally divided among each family.

As for how to distribute the land in Southern Kyushu, each family did not dare to make the decision without authorization. They could only ask the second son Laicheng and Otomo to make the decision.But His Royal Highness the King of Chu was still in Japan, and they did not dare to make their own decisions, so they could only ask for permission.

Zhu Zhen was very satisfied with the performance of the two people after they returned. Not only did he happily receive them, he also asked them to have meals with him as a reward.

Looking at the exquisite vegetarian style on the small table, both of them were moved to tears.They knew that His Highness the King of Chu was fond of all kinds of meat, because he almost ate all the cattle in Dazaifu.

Now, in order to respect their eating habits, they eat vegetarian meals, which is really considerate.The two people hurriedly expressed their gratitude and said in panic: "Your Highness has the habit of not having to give in to his ministers. We can't afford it."

Although they have not been officially appointed by the court, they can't wait to change their names.

"It doesn't matter, I have always respected my own people." Lao Liu smiled and shook his head kindly. He was too late to encourage the Japanese food culture of not eating meat, so how could he destroy it.

The two of them burst into tears of gratitude and expressed how happy they were to be recognized by His Highness.

"Okay, no need to be grateful, just try it quickly." Lao Liu smiled and said: "Does the Jinling cuisine cooked by the Ming chef still suit your appetite?"

The two of them nodded quickly, bowed and took a chopstick each, and then rushed to praise each other with limited vocabulary.But whether it was because they didn't mean what they said or because they had something on their mind, the two of them put down their chopsticks before taking a few bites.

"What, are you worried about eating something?" Lao Liu is a meat lover. He really can't get used to eating vegan food, so he put down his chopsticks.

"Back to Your Highness, I really have two things to report." Young Master Lai Cheng reported the issue of land distribution in Southern Kyushu to Lao Liu.

"I have some understanding of the situation in Southern Kyushu. It seems that the conditions are not very good due to the mountains and the lack of land." Lao Liu said slowly.

"Your Highness really knows everything." Otomo nods hurriedly and says: "The east side is better. The Shimazu family's main territory is in the east. To the west, it's really like mountains."

"Is there anything better in the west?" Lao Liuzhuangruo asked casually.

"There are many hot springs in the west, and the scenery in the mountains is also good." Shao Er Laicheng replied.

"Okay." Lao Liu thought for a moment and said, "The land in the east will be divided between you two. There is no need to ask my king for instructions."

After a pause, he said: "As for the east side, I have other uses, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Hi." The two of them bowed their heads happily and responded.

Although Minami Kyushu is mountainous, the climate is warm and humid, and the land in the mountainous plains along the eastern coast is also very fertile.

They thought His Highness would take the most fertile land in the east and give them the poor mountains and ravines in the west as a matter of course, but they didn't expect His Highness to be so generous.

Lao Liu was also very satisfied, because there were good things he dreamed of in the mountains to the west of Southern Kyushu.
