Warring States Eagle

On the afternoon of October [-]st, Tianwen Ninth Year, the autumn wind was refreshing.The blue sky. In early autumn, it is spotless and crystal clear.The blossoming clouds are reflected in the clear water of Dashangjin; the microwave of the fish scales and the emerald green river water add to the color of the floating clouds, making them extraordinarily gorgeous.

At this moment, with Tsugami, two Xiaozao ships were shuttled back and forth between the east and west banks, transporting people from the west bank back to the east bank.On the shore of the west bank, the soldiers of the Ishihara family who came out of Yuansheng City were waiting in formation. While nervously boarding Xiaozao, they carefully watched the soldiers of the Luo family 200 meters away who were also waiting in formation.

According to the reconciliation agreement, Zheng Liang first removed the military tents outside Yuansheng City and gave way to the passage from the city.Then the officers and soldiers entered Yuansheng City to persuade the defenders to retreat. Within half an hour, the soldiers in the opponent's city formed a formation and came out of the city one after another. Each of them was holding various things in their hands. , There is a tendency to move.Regarding this, Zheng Liang, who was leading the Luo family's troops to monitor the whole process not far away, didn't care. As long as the other party surrendered Chengyan obediently, he would have taken advantage of it.Of course, he was also worried that the opponent was playing tricks, so he also dispatched a large number of detectives to closely monitor the surrounding area, so as to prevent another team from the opponent from suddenly appearing for reinforcements, and he would be caught off guard.

After finishing the preparations, the troops of Yuansheng City began to move towards the shore of Shangjin. Zheng Liang sent Yi Nuo to lead dozens of peasants and soldiers to immediately receive Yuansheng City, and at the same time personally led the troops to follow the opponent until they reached the Play on the west bank of Shangjin.During the march, it is not that Zhengliang did not think of taking the opportunity to attack the opponent, but considering that once the opponent loses this main military force, his strength will inevitably drop greatly, and he will not be able to effectively stop the attack of the Huzi family, so he finally gave up. Thoughts in mind.

The handover is still going on in an orderly manner, and the family members of the loyal members of the Shi Yuan family in the territory are also arriving one after another. This is the last condition for reconciliation.Their family members must also be properly accommodated.In response, Zheng Liang waved his hand and readily agreed.Even if these people are forced to stay.It's just some people with different intentions, it will only affect the stability of the newly occupied territory, it is better to send them away.

So, put on Tsugami.Every time a boat is transported away, someone from a small boat docked on the shore not far away will take out a box of coins and put them on the shore, and the people of the Luo family will count and receive them. The promised payment of 200 guan indemnities.This time, it is estimated that it is the first of its kind in the Warring States Period.

Every time I think of it.Zhengliang has an inexplicable feeling that for powerful people, the land is the lifeblood. Although the Ishihara family is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, it always feels that this time the reconciliation seems to be a bit too smooth, so smooth that it is unbelievable.People are always so strange, they always doubt what is easy to get, but take it for granted what is fortunately obtained.

"Your Highness" at this time.The attendant suddenly heard the familiar voice in his ears.

Zheng Liang quickly put back his wandering thoughts.Gathering his mind, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"The scouts sent to the other side have returned, and they are asking to see you at the back," said Hu Natong.

"Let him come over," Zheng Liang said.

Soon, a detective came to Zhengliang.

After the detective finished his salute, Zheng Liang asked directly: "How is the situation on the other side?"

"Your Highness, the entire territory of the Ishihara family has been mobilized. Even the women have been mixed into the peasants and soldiers to serve as numbers," the detective said with lingering fear.It seems that he has experienced quite a dangerous situation.

"Oh?" Zheng Liang was shocked.It seems that the civil strife in Huzi's family is getting worse.Is Huzi Zhengyou crazy? Even if the other branches don’t know that the navy of the Hirado Matsuura family is fighting with the Huzi family’s navy, it’s impossible for Huzi Zhengyou not to know? Under the circumstances of internal and external troubles.He continued to fight against the Patriarch of this brother's family. Isn't this suffering on both sides? Could it be that he was riding a tiger? He was worried that after meeting the requirements of this brother's family, he would be slightly injured or even besieged by them, so he simply went with this brother's family. Confrontation, so that this brother did not dare to act rashly for the time being, and then concentrated their efforts to deal with the Matsuura family's strategy first? Well, it seems that this is not possible.

"What happened to the other branches of the Huzi family?" Zheng Liang continued to ask.

"Several branch families seem to be preparing to unite to put pressure on the Huzi family. The villain saw a team with several branch family crests at the border between the Huzi family and the Ishihara family."

"Very well, you go down and rest first." After Zheng Liang got the news he wanted, he ordered the detective who reported the letter to go down and rest.He looked at the soldiers of the Shi Yuan family who were still boarding the ship not far away and thought about it.Yes, he was moved.Since the other party's situation is so chaotic, should they take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to see if they can get more benefits?

"Your Highness", at this time, the voice of the valet suddenly rang in my ears again, "If your lord sends someone a message, the pirate from Jiushi City has been found."

"Yeah." Zhengliang nodded habitually in response, but suddenly caught important information from the sentence just now, turned his head suddenly, and said in a slightly high voice, "What? You mean those pirates were found?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Lord Yi Nuo is waiting for your order. Now he has sent people to monitor those pirates."

"Okay, very good." Zheng Liang clenched his fists and cheered up.

Why is Zhengliang so excited? This starts with the geographical environment in the middle of the East Matsuura Peninsula.

There are mainly three relatively large rivers in the middle of the East Matsuura Peninsula. The westernmost one is a river formed by the confluence of the Wangali River and the tributaries of the Zauchi River. Its outlet is Banya Bay, which is now completely controlled by the Luo family. Get up; the easternmost is the current Dashangjin, its west bank and the seaport leading to Huzi Bay have also been included in the sphere of influence of the Luo family; the remaining middle one is called Zhiga River, which flows through the original stone field Finally, they go out to the sea through an outlet that is still occupied by several pirates, and finally connect to Xuanjie Beach.There is a small peninsula protruding from Genkai Nada between the mouths of the two rivers, Dashangzu and Shigagawa, where the famous Natoya Castle is located in the future.

It can be said that as long as the estuary of Zhihe River is under control, it is equivalent to completely surrounding the territory occupied by the Luo family in the middle of the East Songpu Peninsula, which is conducive to the defense of the territory.But to occupy there, the first thing to do is to drive away or even kill the pirates entrenched there, which is not a simple matter.The biggest difficulty is that these pirates have no fixed dens, and they often change their hiding places at will. Once you forcibly occupy their sphere of influence, they may retaliate. The easiest way is to often come to harass you and annoy you .What the servant Kunatong reported just now is that the detectives of the family have discovered the current shelter of the pirates.Zhengliang was going to kill this group of pirates in one fell swoop, and even if he couldn't kill them, he would try his best to injure them as much as possible, so that the foundation of the Luo family on the East Matsuura Peninsula was completely stabilized.

So, why is Zheng Liang so eager to attack these pirates? It is absolutely possible to negotiate peace with them.The reason is simple, there are people that Zhengliang desperately wants to kill.

In that area, there are mainly two pirate forces, namely the Imamura people and the Ikeda people, and the Imamura people are the most powerful, and their leader is Wusuke.When it comes to Wusuke, another person has to be involved, that is, Wusuke's elder brother Sisu.

Who is Sizhu? To be precise, he is an invader.When Wang Zhi, the One Piece of the Ming Dynasty, was recorded in the history books, there was such a passage: Legend has it that Wang Zhisheng had a vision, "Less downcast, chivalrous, strong and wise, good at giving, and trusted by the old man." Jiajing 19 years Together with Xu Weixue, Ye Zongman and others, Wang Zhi built seagoing ships in Guangdong, "carrying prohibited goods such as nitrous nitrate, silk cotton, etc., to Japan, Siam, and Western countries for trade", making huge profits.Since overseas trade was an illegal activity at the time, Wang Zhi first joined the Xu Dong Group from his hometown in Shexian County, Huizhou Prefecture, and summoned "to lure Folang and Yiyi, to travel to and from Zhejiang Sea, to berth at Shuangyu Port, and to conduct private trade." Xu Dong and Li The bald head was wiped out one after another by Zhu Wan of the Ming army, so Wang Zhisui started a new life and became the owner of the ship himself. "So he made an evil plan, recruited exiles, seduced the Japanese slave Taro, Jiro, Sisuke, Shiro, etc., and built a huge ship with 120 paces of joint boats, which could hold 2000 people and gallop on horses." Wang Zhi became a large-scale ship in East Asia at that time. The leader of the Armed Maritime Group, and accepted the invitation of Matsuura Takanobu, the Japanese Sengoku daimyo, to engage in maritime trade based on Hirado Island, which belongs to the Hizen Kingdom off the coast of Kyushu.

In the description here, there is a record of "four assistants".

And the four assistants that Zhengliang is going to deal with now, was originally the leader of a group of pirates in Dangjin Bay. Later, he was defeated in a conflict with the Bota navy, and had to flee to the five islands of the pirate paradise with the remnants of his soldiers. , Currently temporarily taking refuge in the Hirado Matsuura family.After much scrutiny, Zheng Liang can basically confirm that the four assistants are the Japanese pirates who followed Wang Zhi to invade the Ming Dynasty in the future.Even if it wasn't, he could only complain that the name he chose was too unlucky, and he happened to be a pirate. With the mentality that he would rather kill the wrong man than let it go, Zheng Liang was determined to kill this guy.

As for the pirate Wuzhu who is entrenched in the area around the estuary of Zhigachuan, it is confirmed that he is Sisuke's younger brother.As the so-called never leave his brother in battle, although there is no record in the history books, in the face of the temptation of huge interests, it is impossible for him not to follow his elder brother to the Ming country to plunder.Therefore, Zhengliang's goal is very clear, to kill this invading devil first.

Of course, Zhengliang didn't kill for the sake of killing.It's just that these two groups of pirates are people who kill and rob, and are different from other ordinary fishermen who are forced to take the road of pirates due to life.From the information Yiruo collected before, Zheng Liang knew that these two pirates were unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, and even if they negotiated peace with them, he didn't know when they would bite back.Therefore, these two groups of pirates cannot stay.

It can not only stabilize the rule of the territory, but also eliminate the violence and even indirectly help the Ming country, why not do it?
