Warring States Eagle

"Your Highness, the entire Shinki Castle has been wiped out by us. After Kamakura Yuino killed his family members, he committed seppuku in the castle tower." In the military tent outside the Shinki Castle, Hirasa Masatada bowed and reported to Masara.With the city gate being breached, the fate of the Shangcang family's demise has become irreversible.After resisting for a while, the soldiers of the Shangcang family in Xinmu City were either killed or surrendered by discarding their weapons.

"Well, after a short rest, you will immediately lead your troops back to Wanheli Castle. I am worried that there will be changes in the pirates along the coast. I'll leave it to you and Zhengxiu, and we must not let the family's details to Hata on the other side of the mountains." Zhengliang said, "As for this place, I will leave it to me and Xingsuke for the time being. After Chujiro comes to hand over, I will also return to Nogayama There. At that time, Chujiro will be responsible for the defense of the coastal areas on the north bank of the Wangali River. You must pay attention to cooperating with Chujiro, and when necessary, severely attack those pirates along the coast. The many pirates on the shore were driven away to the sea."

"Yes, Your Highness" Hirasa Masataka bowed to take the order...-< >--< >-First release of Warring States Eagle 148Chapter 148 The dust has settled

At the same time, on a mountain road one mile away from Xinmu City, dozens of soldiers from the Shangcang family who had hurriedly assembled to go to Xinmu City for support were hurrying on their way.

"Really, these peasants are really annoying. If we hadn't walked fast, we would have been surrounded by them," a warrior walking in front complained with lingering fear.

"Forget it, it's good to escape with one life. Just report the rest of the matter to the lord. The lord will definitely not let that town go," another samurai said.

"It's really unlucky to say, why did we have to do the hard work of mobilizing farmers and soldiers? These farmers have been very irritable recently." The third samurai complained, "Look, the three of us combined We have only mobilized so many people, we will definitely be scolded by the lord when we go back."

The other two also agreed.

"Who's in front? Stop, stop for me, and we're going to shoot arrows when we come this way." At this moment, several ashigaru who were in charge of opening the way ahead shouted loudly.

"What's going on?" The three responsible warriors stopped talking and walked quickly to the crowd in front.

"My lord, run away, Xinmu City has been captured, and the lord has been captured, if you don't run away, you will die." A few farmers who seemed to be deserters shouted loudly.While they were talking, they kept looking back, as if there were pursuers coming from behind. -< >--< >-Starting Warring States Eagle 148 Chapter 148 Dust Settled

"What? The lord has been taken?" The three warriors exclaimed in unison, and the rest of the peasants and soldiers who rushed behind them also started to scream.

"Yes, Lord Samurai, Xinmu City was breached at noon, and now the city has been occupied, and the villain also escaped desperately by taking advantage of the scuffle." The farmer who shouted just now raised his bloody right hand , indicating that he has just experienced a deadly battle.

The three samurai looked at the distressed faces of the deserters who were coming towards them, and they had basically confirmed the fact that the Shangcang family had perished, and they couldn't help but beat up.

"What should we do? Say, what should we do?" One of the warriors broke the silence first and said.The demise of the main family means that these warriors are unemployed and have to think about their future livelihood again.

"Do I still have a wife and children at home? I'd better go back and plow the fields honestly, and stop wandering," said a samurai.

"It seems that I can't stay here any longer, I'd better look elsewhere." The last samurai thought for a while and decided to start his wandering journey again, "What about you?"

"I heard that the Hirado Matsuura family is recruiting samurai. I decided to go there to try my luck. Since you haven't decided to go there, why don't you go with me?" The samurai who spoke first replied.  … "Okay, that's the decision. Then what should they do?" The samurai who was going to wander pointed to the peasants and soldiers who were already shaking behind him.

"What else can I do? Of course, each of you has to go back to your own place. Listen..." The samurai who decided to join the Matsuura family shouted, "The main family has already perished, and there is no need to go to defend the city. You all go back separately. "

"Wow..." All the peasants and soldiers turned around as if they had received an amnesty, and started walking back.Originally, they were forced to go to defend the city because of the majesty of the lord. Now that the lord is killed, they are of course happy not to have to go to die.In this way, throughout the whole afternoon, such scenes continued to be staged in various territories of the Shangcang family.For a time, news of the demise of the Shangcang family spread throughout the territory.

At this time, on the west coast of the Shangcang family's territory, the two groups of pirates had just joined together, and the team of dozens of people moved slowly along the path.Suddenly, a pirate who was exploring the way ahead ran back in a panic.

"Boss, it's not good," the pirate shouted while trotting.

"What's going on?" The leaders of the two groups of pirates asked at the same time.

"I met a few deserters in front of me, and said that the guy Shangkura Xiye has been killed, and Xinmu Castle has also been breached."-< >--< >-Starting Warring States Eagle 148Chapter 148 The dust has settled

"Ah?" The two pirate leaders exclaimed, and then looked at each other in the same way.

"What do you think? I think we can take the opportunity to go to various towns to plunder," said the slightly thinner leader.In the past, he was worried about Shangcang Xiye, but now that he is dead, his territory has temporarily fallen into chaos, and it is time to take advantage of the fire to loot.

"No, have you forgotten the lesson of Man Yuezhong?".Another chief objected.The Manyue people were severely injured by the Luo family's attack in the middle of the road, and their strength was greatly reduced in the end.Now several restless little pirates are preparing to jointly occupy the territory of Manyuezhong.

"Hiss..." the slightly thinner leader shuddered, obviously thinking of what happened to the Manyue people, and immediately turned around and shouted to the pirates behind him, "Retreat, retreat quickly."He has already decided, regardless of whether the news is true or not, he should withdraw from the Shangcang family's territory...

As the forces of all parties in the Shangcang family's territory dissipated or retreated, the Luo family soon took control of the entire Shangcang family's territory. So far, from the west of the Luo family to the islands of Imari Bay, there is no longer any powerful family. The rest are pirates of different sizes.When all the dust has settled, the Luo family's westward strategy has come to an end for the time being. -< >--< >-Starting Warring States Eagle 148 Chapter 148 Dust Settled

Five days later, Chujiro finally arrived at Shinki Castle.Masara once again adjusted the defense on the west side of the territory. The No. [-] Standing Ashgaru Division led by Chujiro was responsible for the defense from the north bank of Kawanri River to the coast of Imari Bay. The pirates on the Ribi Peninsula will be wiped out.Hirasa Masatada led the fourth-foot standing light team to be responsible for the defense from the south bank of Kamanri River to the coast of Imari Bay, and at the same time blocked the passage connecting Karatsu and Kishigake Mountain Castle.

After arranging everything, Zhengliang, accompanied by Xingsuke, started to rush back to the lord's mansion on Nogayama.There is also a grand memorial ceremony waiting for him.

It was already the end of August, and most of the grain in the fields had been harvested by the farmers, and some fields that had been harvested ahead of schedule had even begun to be cleared, and the leaders were plowing and getting ready.Wisps of green smoke rising from the field, this is the grass ash fertilization method promoted by Zhengliang. In addition, Zhengliang also vigorously promoted the heap fertilizer method, which piled up various manure and other weeds, and after a full chemical reaction, in the The next year's spring plowing will be sprinkled on the fields.

Walking slowly along the paved road, from time to time, some leaders can be seen repairing and digging ditches in groups.This is a paid corvee organized by the territory. The purpose is to prevent those citizens who have no food income from the fields this year from starving to death.And those canals with clear gullies are the waterways named "Zhengliang Canal" by the people.A series of measures and measures earned Zheng Liang the title of the Kind East Matsuura Eagle.  … "Your Highness?" Seeing Zheng Liang strolling on the ridge of the field, he seemed in a good mood.Kosuke, who had been following behind, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice boldly.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Liang didn't turn his head, but just answered casually.

"Your Highness, you have been married to your wife for a while, and I don't know when you can marry another concubine. More branches and leaves are good for the stability of the territory." Xingsuke secretly looked at Zheng Liang's face, confirming that there is no problem Finally, he said in a low voice.

"Hmm!" Mr. Masara was stunned for a moment, then turned around and gave Kosuke a hard look, "I have my own opinion about the concubine, and I will think about it at the end of the year at the latest." Zhengliang has his own opinions about the concubine. For the sake of future stability, at least make Ju Ji pregnant with the heir of the Luo family before making any plans.And Xingsuke's abacus is also very clear to Zhengliang. He was tossed and wandered in the early years, and now he has managed to live a stable life, so he hopes to use his daughter to tie himself firmly to Zhengliang's boat. A stable life is guaranteed.Although his purpose was not malicious, Zheng Liang hated interfering in his own affairs the most, so he took the opportunity to warn him well. -< >--< >-Starting Warring States Eagle 148 Chapter 148 Dust Settled

"Yes... yes..." Feeling the dissatisfaction in Zheng Liang's eyes, Xingsuke immediately knelt down on the ground and saluted.

Zhengliang did not affect his mood because of this small episode. On the contrary, he slowed down even more, and while admiring the rural scenery, he inspected the construction of the territory.After spending the night at the home of a leader, on the morning of August [-]th, Zheng Liang and his party finally returned to Yegao Village.

At this time, all the villagers of Yegao Village and the main agricultural personnel in other territories of the Luo family had gathered near the small agricultural experiment farm specially opened by the Luo family.Today they will witness a historic moment. Zheng Liang will harvest the rice, corn and sweet potatoes in the small farm in front of them, and show them the harvest results.The promotion of any new thing is not easy, especially the issue of food that is related to the life and death of the people themselves. The fact that Zhengliang officially intends to use iron to make everyone believe in the benefits of growing these food.Seeing hope, these crops are naturally easy to promote. (to be continued
