This winter is much colder than previous winters.The low sky has been sunless for days.But just today, the long-lost sunlight appeared unexpectedly.

When the long-lost sunlight hit the second-floor terrace of the Haijin Pavilion in Haijin City, Zhengliang held onto the wooden railing of the terrace with both hands and looked up at the avenue outside Haijin City.

At this time, he was full of spirit and pride.Just half a month ago, Ji Hongjianli, the general of the Allied Forces of Otomo's family, was probably standing here too, and then he looked at the allied forces under the city with high spirits, with the intention of devouring the fat.

However, the mast and scull disappeared while talking and laughing. Half a month later, the former general of the coalition army was already lying on the tatami mat, but the head of the Luo family, Luo Shi Zhengliang, who was regarded as a dispensable role, stood still. In the place where Jihong Jianli once stood.

However, war is full of unknowns, so even if he wins this round by chance, Zheng Liang still feels a little scared every step of the way, for fear that he will make a wrong step, which will lead to the demise of the family.So after a short period of complacency, he quickly recovered the clarity of his eyes, and once again turned his gaze to the sunny avenue outside the city.

On the avenue, an endless line of villagers is lining up along the road outside Haijin City to enter Hizen.These people are the local citizens who were arrested in various places in Chikugo.After they enter Hizen, they will be arranged to live and work in various places in Hizen, and the sparsely populated Matsuura County area will become the most important area for resettlement.

After entering Zhuhou, wherever Luo Ming's army went, they implemented a looting policy, looting all the people, property, and food.This will make the local wealthy people hiding in the walled city into an extremely difficult situation in the coming spring plowing season.

"The peaks and mountains are like gathering together.

The waves are furious.

Mountains and rivers inside and outside Tongguan Road.

Wang Xidu,

meaning to hesitate.

sad Qin Han classics travel place,

Tens of thousands of palaces have been made of earth.

Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer. "

For some reason, when he saw the scene in front of him, Zheng Liang suddenly remembered such a term that has been passed down through the ages.

Behind Zhengliang, Chixue Guangqing pouted secretly, feeling very satisfied with Luo Ming's strange poems.He didn't understand most of them, but he understood the last sentence.It's just that he thinks that the current suffering of these people under the city is caused by the powerful king in front of him.

"Guangqing, I heard that you didn't learn Luo's characters well in the Luo's Dojo?" Just when Chixue Guangqing was secretly criticizing, Zhengliang's voice came over.

"Haha, that, my lord, that is really too difficult to learn." Chixue Guangqing had no choice but to slap haha ​​when the Patriarch said it directly to the pain point.

"Really? Don't you know that the promotion of the position of the retainers of the main family is linked to the new script and language mastery of the dojo?" Zheng Liang's voice came again.

"Report to the lord of the country. The servants know."

"Hey! You've disappointed me so much. Don't you want to return to Izumo Kingdom with our army one day in the future?" Zheng Liang said with a little disappointment.

After hearing Zhengliang's words, Chixue Guangqing trembled all over.

"Your Taro seems to perform better than you in the dojo?" Zheng Liang seemed to have no intention of letting go of Akana Mitsuki.Still continued.

"Your Majesty, the honor is too high. Inuzi's talent is indeed better than that of his subordinates." Chixue Mitsuki said something that seemed to be modest and boastful.

"Since that's the case, in the future, when our army enters the Izumo Kingdom, your son will lead the army instead of you, and you will stay in the Luo's dojo in Hizen to study the characters and language of the Luo family." Luo Ming finally said calmly.

When Chixue Guangqing heard the words, he knelt down on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound again.Going back to Izumo is the greatest wish of Chikane Mitsukiyoshi, and also the greatest wish of his father who has lived in seclusion. It is impossible to go back alone. Now the king said that one day he will point his troops directly to Yunguo. What an ambition, and their family can also inherit the majesty of the king and return to their hometown.Thinking of this, he has secretly made up his mind to learn the strange characters and language of the territory.

Looking at Chixue Guangqing kneeling on the ground and several retainers around him who averted their eyes because they had the same problem as Chixue Guangqing, Luo Ming smiled inwardly.

The scene just now was deliberately provoked by Zheng Liang.The purpose is to take the opportunity to beat these retainers who don't pay much attention to the characters and language of the territory.Let them realize that learning new characters and languages ​​well is linked to their own future.

In fact, Luo Ming didn't want to press these retainers so hard, but with the increase of immigrants and retainers from the Ming Kingdom, the problem of inconsistent language and writing became more and more prominent.This problem can be solved in normal life, but once it arrives on the battlefield, it will become a fatal problem.The best solution is to speed up the promotion of mandarin and simplified Chinese characters in the territory, so he is so focused on forcing it among his retainers.

Besides, the introduction of this new text and language also has a good effect on keeping secrets.Just imagine, even if some important information or even letters are obtained by the enemy forces, but found to be in a language that cannot be translated by the family, what kind of expression will they have?

Of course, not all retainers do not pay attention to this new script and language.So they got other information from Luo Ming's words.

Send troops to Izumo country?There are several countries separated from Hizen!Does the king's ambition have a broader goal besides Kyushu?

All of a sudden, those vassals who were complacent about the greatly expanded territory of their clan woke up and lamented their short-sightedness.But those retainers who were worried that the king would become complacent because of the expansion of the family territory, all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.It seems that my worries are superfluous, such a patriarch is worth following.

Zheng Liang, who was secretly observing the changes in the expressions of the retainers, finally showed an imperceptible smile, and then turned his eyes to Shengli Jindai, who was slightly behind among the retainers.

"Shengli, are you dissatisfied with the arrangement of the family?" Zheng Liang's words were extremely lethal, and immediately focused the attention of all the retainers on the person being questioned.As one of the protagonists, Shengdai Shengli was also so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

"I dare not." Shendai Shengli shouted with his head down.

"It's not that you don't dare, but you dare not say it?" Zhengliang said with a smile, "My family moved your family directly from Sanse Castle to Xiaocheng County, and arranged a large number of people who migrated from Chikugo in your territory. New citizen. It's normal for you to have thoughts."

"I don't dare." Shendai Shengli said with some doubts. He didn't know why the Lord suddenly said that, but just as the Lord said, he was indeed very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Lord for his family.Because after entering Chikugo this time, it is these surrendered generals who are actually responsible for personally implementing the looting policy.

Although the Chikugo people who were captured will settle down soon after arriving in the new territory, when they find out that their lord is the general who robbed them of everything, one can imagine their attitude towards the lord .

In order to stabilize the territory and save their lives, these generals have to devote most of their family's energy to maintaining the stability of the territory, and because the family's force is almost completely deprived, so many times, they have to ask the lord Help, and those who help have the benevolence and righteousness of the Lord.This has resulted in many times, these lords have become villains, while the lord has become a good person in the eyes of the people.

In fact, Shengdai Shengli also knew the real purpose of the Lord's doing so.One is, by letting these descendants come forward to rob, so as to confirm the news to the world that they have taken refuge in the Luo family.Let the small thoughts that still exist in their hearts completely disappear.

The second is to let them put all their energy on the stability and maintenance of their own territory, not only prevent their family from having too much energy to think about other things in Feiqian, but also take the opportunity to let the good image of the king in the new land. established among the people who came.

There is nothing wrong with such an arrangement by the lord, but it is too dark-bellied for generals like them.So it is impossible for them not to complain.

"Victory, you should remember that when accepting your surrender in the military tent outside Sanse City, my family once said that I hate betrayers." Zheng Liang turned and looked at the distant scenery and said lightly, "I promise you Letting Shaoer Dongshang go was because of your loyalty to the old master, but in doing so, you have actually betrayed me once."

"My lord, my subject..." Shendai Shengli was already trembling at this moment.He found that the pressure to face the lord of the country was too great.

"It's just that I personally agreed to it, so this betrayal is forgiven. But..." Zheng Liang's voice suddenly turned cold, "No matter who, I don't want to betray my family again, otherwise, I will not give any more chances to forgive, and I will use all the blood of his family to punish this betrayer."

For the first time, Zheng Liang showed his domineering and cold-blooded side in front of everyone.This time, most of the generals who followed Luo Ming were surrendered. After hearing Luo Ming's words, they all knelt on the ground without exception.

"Of course, if you are loyal to the family, the family will definitely not treat them badly. I know that many of you, like Shengli, are dissatisfied in your heart, but all this is a test of your loyalty. The next step is to Let's see if you can stand this test." Zheng Liang said in a slightly slower tone after seeing everyone's performance.

The Luo's family is about to start the next step, and these retainers who have recently joined the family are all unstable factors, Zheng Liang simply cut the mess with a sharp knife to deter these retainers.Judging from the expressions of the crowd, the effect is still good.

After letting go of the vassals who had been granted amnesty, Zhengliang returned to the council hall of Haijin City. At this time, Togo Heiji, who came from Hizen, had been waiting there for a long time.
