Warring States Eagle

In the military tent, Zheng Liang is holding an interim assessment.

"I leave it to you to clean up and protect the newly occupied territory. Black Hawk will assist you in cleaning up the diehards," Zheng Liangwang said to Onishi Guozhi.

The latter bowed down.

"Okay, let's talk about the casualties this time." Zheng Liang was silent for a while, then said.This time, none of the retainers mentioned the casualties, obviously there were quite a few casualties.

"Your Highness, in the Battle of Ohara, our family had a cloaked group, three low-level samurai and sixteen standing ashigaru killed in battle, and 34 people were injured. Some of the wounded may not be able to participate in the battle after recovery. As for the generals, except for the injured Mingfeng Except for Xiuzheng and Oishi Tomohisa, the rest of the generals are fine." Onishi Kuniji, who was in charge of counting the battlefield, said with a heavy voice, "At the same time, this time, a total of 130 and three enemy heads were captured, and 250 and seven prisoners of war were captured."

"According to the laws of the territory, the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle will be doubled, and they will be buried in the 'Hero Tomb' of the territory, and their families will be taken care of according to the laws of the territory." Zheng Liang said slowly, "The injured personnel will be sent to Dashangzhai for treatment , ask Master Xuanru to go there and heal them."

As long as there is a war, someone will be injured or even killed in battle. After several battles, Zheng Liang has gradually become indifferent to these things.And in order to encourage everyone to join the army enthusiastically, a series of pension laws that can be said to create the history of the Warring States Period were also formulated.

After several retainers went down, Zheng Liang looked at the only thing left behind, Jian Bantou Yinuo, and said, "Did you find out?"

"His Royal Highness, we have found out. Those who did not take refuge in the Huzi family's navy, some are those who have just defected to the Huzi family's famous Yuezhong, some are some wandering warriors, and a few are loyal retainers of the Huzi family. .”

Zhengliang asked Yinuo to investigate those Yuan Huzi's sailors who did not take refuge in Luo's family.Keep such a wandering military force in the nearby waters.No matter how you say it, it is a threat to the Luo family.So Zhengliang must find out their details.

Now it seems that those Mingyuezhong seem to be ready to take refuge in a new tycoon.The Luo's family had fought against them before, and even some of their family members had already settled down in the Luo's family.So it is normal for them not to rely on themselves.And those samurai who became ronin again probably planned to become pirates or seek refuge with a new tyrant.Only those loyal retainers need to pay attention.

"Do those loyal retainers of the Huzi family have any family members in their own territory?" Zheng Liang asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, it's in the village outside the original Huzi family's main city," Yinuo reported.

"Relocate them secretly to a place where they can live again. Just keep an eye on them," Zhengliang said.

I believe that when they find out that their family members are under control, these so-called diehards will have some scruples.Then with the passage of time, these people will surely disintegrate again.

After sending Yinuo away, Zhengliang picked up some account books that Togo Heiji had just left behind.as lord.It is necessary to regularly check the situation of the territory.And these account books are the things and accounts in some territories recorded by Dongxiang Heiji.

"Your Highness, Mr. Sun Wulang outside the tent asks to see you." At this time, the cloaked people who were in charge of guarding outside the tent came in to report.

Goro Sun?Wasn't he already sent to deal with the newly recruited sailors at dusk?Why did you come back so soon?Is something wrong?

After getting Zhengliang's permission, Sun Wulang walked in quickly.

"Say, what's the matter?" Zheng Liang asked.

"Your Highness, I just went down to inquire. I found out that the Huzi family's navy was able to surrender so smoothly this time because it was persuaded by one of the original Huzi family's navy leaders," Sun Wulang reported.

"Oh? There is such a thing? Who is this person?" Zheng Liang suddenly became interested in this person.Being able to actively persuade everyone to surrender at least shows that this person knows how to judge the situation.

"Your Highness. This person calls himself Wubingwei." Sun Wulang said, "Your Highness. Your servant has already looked for this person, and he has made a request to meet His Highness directly."

"Oh?" What an interesting guy.It seems that you have something to say to me.After hearing this, Zheng Liang couldn't help thinking.

"Let him in," Zheng Liang decided.

Soon, a samurai in simple clothes came in with a child.The samurai looked to be around 30 years old, with a very elegant complexion. If you just look at his appearance, you can't tell that he is a pirate at all.And that child was about seven or eight years old.

"At Shimomura Kami's house, Murakami Wubingwei is grand, and I have seen His Highness." The elegant warrior saluted Zhengliang.

"The Seto Inland Sea Nono Island Murakami Suitung?"

"Exactly."

"Then, Mr. Murakami, may I ask why you are here?" Zhengliang looked at Murakami and asked solemnly.

"Please forgive me for being abrupt, I hope to serve as an adult with my nephew," Murakami said solemnly.

"If I'm not mistaken, the name of the nephew behind you is Takekichi Murakami?" Zheng Liang didn't immediately respond to the other party's request, but said instead.

"Exactly" it was the child who answered Zheng Liang this time.

"I'm very strange? You should have fled to the territory of Hizen Kikuchi's family? Why did you appear here and become the navy general of Huzi's family?" Zheng Liang said with a smile.

I really didn't expect that Takekichi Murakami, who shined so brightly in the First Battle of Nojima, which directly led to the demise of the Ouchi family, would come here at this moment, and he was still a child of seven or eight years old.

Takekichi Murakami, born in the Noh Island Murakami Suijun on the Seto Inland Sea, his father is Yoshitada Murakami.The history of the Murakami navy is very long. Since most of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea are narrow in size and poor in soil, they cannot fully supply the islanders with sufficient food. Therefore, the islanders use their knowledge of waterways to become a powerful force in the local waters. Pa, set up a private customs office to charge sailing money, which is one-tenth of the price of the goods on board, and supplemented by piracy such as smuggling and looting to make a living.Later, the Murakami Navy separated into three families, Noshima, Innoshima, and Kuroshima, each of which developed independently and supported each other.

Due to the early death of Wuji's father Murakami Yoshitada, Wuji, who was still a child, had already been involved in the storm of competing with his half-brother Yiyi for the throne of the governor. Therefore, Wuji was forced to go into exile on Kyushu Island, and fled into the territory of Hizen Kikuchi's family to avoid Yiyi's pursuit.

"It's a long story, and His Highness should also know the helplessness of living under the fence. I accidentally learned that the thief Yiyi tried to buy the ministers of the Juchi family with a lot of money, which was not good for us, so the two of us had to escape here and temporarily became the Huzi family. The samurai," Murakami said with a bitter face.

It turned out that Zheng Liang understood after hearing this.In retrospect, this period was indeed the most helpless period for the two of them. It was not until three years later that Murakami Takashi received assistance from the Ouchi family for the last time, and he regained his strength.Then it developed slowly, and finally assisted his nephew to regain the position of family governor.

"Your Excellency came here because of the giant ship of our family?" Zheng Liang smiled slightly and continued.

"If I tell you that the big ship actually belongs to one of my friends, will you still go to my family?"

"This?" Murakami was suddenly at a loss for words.It was indeed because he saw such a big ship appearing in Luo's family that he had the idea of ​​seeking refuge.If you want to regain the territory as soon as possible, you must rely on powerful forces, or have strong strength.The former is the fastest shortcut, while the latter is much slower, so he hopes to get the support of the strong.When he saw that Luo's family had a huge ship, he sensitively realized that he only needed the help of such a big ship, plus some navy ships, he could completely defeat that guy Yiyi's navy, and then regain the position of the governor of the family. Bit up.

So, after seeing the Luo family's surrender, he actively lobbied the rest of the sailors and led them to surrender to the Luo family.Now I suddenly heard the other party tell me that the owner of the big ship is someone else, and I was a little disappointed immediately.

"Hehe, Your Excellency wants to restore the position of family governor for my nephew?" Zheng Liang continued.

The latter nodded slowly.

"Your Excellency should have sought the support of the family?" Zheng Liang asked intentionally.

"Exactly."

"I don't know what the situation is? Did the other party agree?" Zheng Liang was asking knowingly.

"Hey! The Murakami family has been friends with the Ouchi family for several generations, and it is really unexpected that the other party didn't even ask about it." Murakami Takashi and Cui Tou said dejectedly.

"Then do you know why?" Zheng Liang asked.

Murakami looked at Masara suspiciously.This is also where he was puzzled.

"What do you think of today's big family?" Zheng Liang asked instead of directly answering.

"It's in full swing. China's overlord even occupied a part of Kyushu, and it can be said to be the overlord in the Warring States Period," Murakami commented solemnly.

After hearing the other party's evaluation, Zheng Liang smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Since your Excellency has seen that the family is in full swing, will he take this little sailor to heart?" Now , Masara was euphemistically telling Takashi Murakami that he is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Ouchi family now.

"So that's how it is." Takashi Murakami is also a smart person, once he heard it, he understood the reason.Your own home has no value in the eyes of the other party.

"Does your Excellency know when our navy was established?" Zheng Liang asked instead of continuing to dwell on the question just now.

Murakami looked at Masarai solemnly.Obviously he knew nothing about the situation of Luo's family navy.

"Four months," Zheng Liang said with a slight smile, "From the first ship shut down, several Xiaozao ships, to the scale you see today."

"Ah?" This exclamation was not made by Murakami, but by Murakami Takeshi behind him.

"Your Excellency, how is it? Our family needs talents to lead the navy. As long as you go to our navy, you will definitely be reused. If our family is strong enough, it's time for you to take back the position of home governor," Zheng Liang said seductively.
