"One condition, as long as Taifu Zaemon agrees, I can persuade all my retainers to agree to the peace negotiation, and I will return it to your house-clearing lord," Zhengliang said. .Taifu Saemon refers to the Ryuzoji family.

"Your Highness, please show me," the gate of the Longzao Temple immediately bowed and saluted.

"I heard that Master Qingfang has a son named Master Yan, who should be more than two years old now." Zheng Liang said, "In order to show the friendship between the two families, I am willing to recruit Master Yan as a minor surname, and follow me I don't know what the family members think?"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid the ministers won't be able to reply right away." The Longzoo Temple family was obviously taken aback, and then replied after a little thought.

"Please allow the minister to return home and report His Highness's suggestion to the Patriarch before replying."

"Hehe, then I will wait here for the reply from the master of the family. As for the master of the house, please reply to Taifu Zaemon, the family will definitely treat you well," Zheng Liang said with a smile.

"Then I will ask His Royal Highness Zhengliang," said the Longzhaosi family.Originally, he thought that the other party would ask for coins or something, but he didn't expect that the other party's request turned out to be the son of Qingfang Naoshima.Now Nabeshima Qingfang is trading Nabeshima Qingfang's son for Nabeshima Qingfang himself. The Longzouji family really can't make a decision.

In this way, after receiving the news from the Luo family that Qingfang Nabeshima was being detained in the Luo family, the Longzouji family came to the Luo family to discuss peace with the permission of the head of the family, and then rushed back without stopping. Longzao temple home.

One day later, the Longzoo family made a difficult decision, agreed to Zhengliang's conditions, and sent Master Yan as a hostage. Zhengliang followed the agreement and released Nabeshima Qingfang.So far, the Longzaosi family and the Luo family have formally negotiated peace.From the perspective of the Ryuzoji family and the Nabeshima family, the son of Nabeshima Qingfang is not as important as Nabeshima Qingfang himself, and if there is no son, just have another one.Therefore, when they could only choose one of them, they could only make a decision to exchange Nabeshima Qingfang's son as a hostage to return to Nabeshima Qingfang.

"This little guy is Naomi Naoshima, the general of the Ryuzoji family in the future?" Zheng Liang thought as he looked at Master Yan who was being hugged by a maid.The feudal lord of this rihouhizen is only less than three years old now, with a tiger head and a tiger brain.

"Little guy, you will be called Naomo from now on." Zheng Liang touched the little guy in the maid's arms and said.In Zhengliang's view.This little guy will be a retainer of the Luo family in the future, and it is absolutely impossible for him to return to the Longzouji family, not even the Nabeshima family. () The Ryuzoji family and the Nabeshima family do not know.In their eyes, he was just a little guy who could have another son after losing his son, but he would grow up to be a general in the future.

After hearing Masara's words, Naoshima Naomo was startled by Masara's sudden action, and suddenly burst into tears in the arms of the maid.It was obvious that the little guy missed his mother.

"Take it down. Take good care of it," Zheng Liang said.At such a young age, he still has to be raised under the service of a maid for a period of time before he can be brought with him as a surname.

After accepting Naoshima Naoshige, another two days passed, that is, December 28th, Tianwen Ninth Year.Information about the Hirado Matsuura clan came again.

Although it is trying to resist, but in the case of the main force is completely damaged.The Hirado Matsuura clan could not resist the combined invasion of the Omura, Goto, and Kamimatsuura clans. The moment Hirado Castle was captured, the head of the Hirado Matsuura clan, Matsuura Konobu, committed seppuku.The rest of the retainers and relatives also fought hard until they died in battle.The Hirado Matsuura Clan is now extinct.After hearing the news, Zheng Liang secretly sighed, he never thought that such a powerful man would perish so easily, and he couldn't even wait for the Luo family to send troops to help him.In this way, the Hirado Matsuura clan, who will leave a mark in history, disappeared in the long river of history without even a single wave.

Of course, Xingxin Matsuura also made proper arrangements before his death.Under the protection of several loyal warriors.Matsuura Xingxin's family members (mainly several wives and concubines and three daughters. One of them is Yui Hatano who was planning to marry Masara) was secretly sent to the Luo family's territory.

Accompanying them was a letter written by Matsuura Xingxin, which wrote two sentences: "They will entrust you, and the territory of the Matsuura family will also be entrusted to you."

After reading the letter, Zheng Liang smiled wryly.He now realizes that every tyrant who is dying will never forget to make the last calculation.Masaragi was absolutely sure of the news that Matsuura Xingxin's family members had sought asylum at the Luo family.Even the contents of this letter will soon be circulated everywhere.This reminded Zhengliang of Taijiu's family back then, and it seemed that he had calculated Zhengliang in the same way.

Worth mentioning.If you come, you will be safe, with the current strength of the Luo family.It can be regarded as fearless to those who come.

"Arrange those people to settle down in Nodaka Town," Masaragi looked up at Akabane Shinnosuke after reading the letter and said.

"Yes, Your Highness" Akabane Shinnosuke bowed to accept the order.

"By the way, where are the guards who escorted them here?" Zhengliang suddenly thought of those loyal guards who were responsible for protecting Matsuura Xingxin.

"They all resolutely returned to Matsuura's house, and the subject thought they were going to seek a decisive battle," Akabane Shinnosuke said in awe.

"A man of true loyalty and righteousness," Zheng Liang couldn't help admiring after hearing this.

"Once the Hirado Matsuura family perishes, the naval forces on the sea will be leaderless. Under the banner of Matsuura Konobu's family, try to recruit them over," Zhengliang continued to order.

"Yes, Your Highness. Please leave this matter to your subject," Shinnosuke Akabane asked for his order automatically.

"Then I'll leave it to you," Zheng Liang nodded.

After arranging the affairs of Hirado Matsuura's house, Masara once again devoted himself to the construction of the territory.It has recently occupied a place that is several times larger than the original territory of the Luo family, so the construction of the territory will naturally have to be stepped up. <There is still a month to plow, and the construction of the territory must be accelerated.On December 29th, the ninth year of Tianwen, Zheng Liang officially embarked on the journey of inspecting the territory and supervising the construction of the territory.

Although it is winter in Matsuura County in December, the sun is shining today, which makes people feel warm even in the cold winter.The dense forest in summer is now full of fallen leaves.Some locals are piling up the leaves in the forest, and then prepare to transport them to the fields for burning.With the popularization of fire ash composting, more and more people know this method of increasing field fertility.

Along the way, the village roads and avenues have been repaired. Even in the newly occupied territory, the roads are smooth and spacious at the moment.

"Your Highness, according to your instructions, the four marching avenues from Kishidake Castle to the west of Dongsongpu Peninsula, Karatsu Bay, Rizai Castle, and Lion City, as well as the avenue from Ye Gaoshan along Tangchuan to Karatsu Bay, Karatsu Bay Pass The avenues to Qishan City, a total of six avenues, have been organized by the local people to pave them," Dongxiang Heiji reported.

Hearing that Zheng Liang was going to inspect the territory in person, except for Yi Shenglong, who was staying at Ye Gaoshan's lord's mansion to handle daily affairs, and Liu Le, who needed to direct Ming immigrants to build their residences, all the retainers in charge of farming and civil affairs in the territory were present.In addition to Togo Heiji, there are two newly recruited retainers here.

One is Nobumoto Aoyama.It turned out that he was the second son of the Aoyama family in China and could not inherit the family business, so he went out to travel around. This time he happened to be trapped in Karatsu Bay, and met the Luo family recruiting ashigaru and samurai.Since I had done farming and civil affairs at home, and I had contacted many low-level people during the wandering period, I had a deeper understanding of farming and civil affairs, so I was assigned to work under Dongxiang Heiji. Already working.

The other was an immigrant from the Ming Dynasty.His name is Li Hongfei.He was originally a farmer and hunter in the Ming Dynasty. He held the fields when the farming was busy, and occasionally went to the mountains to hunt.Later, the family encountered a famine, and under heavy and heavy taxes, they had to take their family to wander around. When they had nowhere to go, they met Zhengliang recruiting immigrants, so they took their family and followed Wang Hai's boat to Zhengliang's territory.After gradually adapting to the life here, the ability to farm has gradually emerged, especially the research on the cultivation of sweet potatoes and corn promoted by Zhengliang.Under Liu Le's recommendation, he also became a retainer of Luo's family, responsible for planting sweet potatoes and corn.

This was also the first time these two retainers met the lord, so they seemed a little reserved.

"When is it expected to be completed?" After hearing Togo Heiji's report, Zheng Liang asked.

"I'm afraid it will take several months to complete all six roads," Togo Heiji immediately replied.

"No, it's too slow," Zheng Liang said.These avenues are the marching avenues of the territory, which are related to the speed of mobilization of troops in the territory, so the progress of such expansion is too slow.

"Your Highness, this has already been expanded by mobilizing a large number of citizens to participate in corvee," Dongxiang Heiji said in a low voice.

It seems that there is still a lack of manpower and tools, especially tools. The tools at this time are very backward. Even though Zhengliang had given the drawings of some hand-built road tools in later generations to Chujiro, who was in charge of iron forging, the latter obviously It will take some time before some tools can be imitated.There is no emergency now.

"In this way, first concentrate on building the three avenues from Anyue City to Tangjin Bay, Rizai City, and Lion City," Zheng Liang finally ordered.

"In this way, I can complete the construction of these three avenues within three months." Dongxiang Heiji frowned and calculated, and finally replied.

"Three months? Well, it's decided like that," Zheng Liang nodded and said.

"How's the law and order in the territory recently?" Zheng Liang turned his head and continued to ask after giving instructions on Xingjun Avenue.With so many territories added at once, and they were occupied hastily, the security of the territory would definitely be problematic when the people in the territory were unstable.
