Chapter 542 Putting "Grandson" to the End

"Military division, how do you think our family should deal with this matter now?" After calming down completely, Masara decided to listen to Kansuke Yamamoto's opinion before making a final decision.

"My lord, under the current circumstances, we must first ensure the foundation of our family." Kansuke Yamamoto said bluntly.

"Should we go back to the territory to put down the rebellion first? But..." Reason told Zheng Liang that he should deal with the rebellion in the territory immediately, but he was still emotionally unwilling.

Yes, now is really a great opportunity for the Luo family.As long as they work hard, the north-central part of the Feihou country is likely to fall into the pocket of the Luo family.How can one be reconciled when the almost cooked pigeon just flies away?

"My lord, at this time the main force of the main family is concentrated in Higo, and at the border of Hizen and the east of Chikugo, the third and fourth standing ashigaru squads of the main family are confronting the army of the Otomo family. The base of the first standing ashigaru squad is in Tahira Castle along the coast of Higo Shimabara Bay, and the only area that can be taken into account is Nanhizen. And this time the second, fifth, and sixth standing ashigaru squads were recruited half of the troops, so in fact the only troops that can be mobilized in the territory of the family are the naval forces in the coastal area, and the garrison troops that can only ensure the safety of the territory's border fortresses." Kansuke Yamamoto analyzed. [

"Can you recruit farmers and soldiers on the spot?" Zheng Liang frowned.He really didn't want to give up on Feihou's great situation.

"My lord, this move may raise the vigilance of those conspirators hiding in the dark. And it is about to enter the spring plowing season. Once the farmers and soldiers are recruited, it will affect the harvest of the territory this year, and the people of the territory will also benefit from it." What I complained about, this may become an opportunity for the conspirators to incite the people." Kansuke Yamamoto said.

"Besides, even if my family would rather let go of this opportunity to destroy the conspirators in the territory in one fell swoop and recruit farmers and soldiers on the spot to ensure the stability of the territory, so as to keep the main force of the family here, but, my lord, the family will definitely be able to calm down Will Kikuchi-gun go quickly pacify the rest of Higo?" Seeing that Masara hadn't made up his mind, Kansuke Yamamoto continued to persuade.

"It's about to enter the rainy season, and the power of the iron cannons that my family relies on will definitely be affected. Besides, under the repeated persecution of my family, it is hard to guarantee that the rich and powerful families will not come to the death with my family. Even if my family wins in the end, I'm afraid It will also cause a lot of damage. There will even be a long-term confrontation with the main family in Feihou. The ministers think that at this time, the main family should first consider taking complete control of the territory they have already occupied, and at the same time take the opportunity to eliminate the conspirators in the territory. "Said Yamamoto Kansuke.

After Yamamoto Kansuke said this, Masara fully woke up.As Kansuke Yamamoto said, even if the Luo family finally occupied the central and northern regions of Higo, they would not only suffer a certain degree of damage.Even because of this, they will fall into the procrastination war of Feihou.The longer the time dragged on, the more detrimental it would be to the stability of the Luo family's territory, and after Dayou's family calmed down, they would send troops again to fight against the Ross family.No one can predict what the final result will be.What made Zhengliang more sober is that according to historical records, this year is a period of frequent typhoons.Fighting in such weather will affect both the offensive and defensive sides, and the impact on the offensive side will be even greater. This also brings uncertainties to the next strategy of Higo.

One is the internal stability of the territory, and at the same time take the opportunity to eliminate the internal conspirators, and the other is the opportunity to be completely sure that the central and northern regions of Feihou can be fully occupied.Now it is obvious that the law can take both into consideration, so Zhengliang must make a choice.

"If that's the case, let the cavalry squadron return secretly to Chikugo and wait for orders." Zhengliang finally chose to ensure the safety of the territory first.

In fact, look at your own strategy all the time.Zhengliang considers himself a family governor who advocates a steady strategy.This can be seen from the layout of Higo Raiders this time.The first thing I think of is to keep what I have already got. It is this kind of thinking that makes Zhengliang make the final choice.Of course, Zhengliang also knows that sometimes he pursues step by step too much, and thus loses his sharpness. For example, if he chooses the strategy of swift and fierce pursuit of victory and relentless pursuit in the strategy of Feihou this time, he may encounter civil strife in the territory today. situation.There will be many more places where you can maneuver your choices.It's just that no one can tell whether it's ripe or not, and you can only know if you try it.After all, war is always full of too many unknowns.

"It's so good. The horse-riding squadron can quickly support all parts of the territory through the marching road that the family has built." Kansuke Yamamoto agreed, "It's just that the rest of the squadron can only withdraw gradually."

"Yeah!" Zheng Liang nodded.It is indeed inappropriate to make too large a military deployment at this time, one is to avoid arousing the vigilance of the conspirators hidden in the dark, and the other is to avoid attracting the attention of the Higo coalition forces and even the Kikuchi army in the city.

Masara then discussed with Kansuke Yamamoto in the military account the specific strategies to deal with the rebellion within the territory.

Time passed quickly.On the second day, when Zheng Liang was making intensive preparations to return to Hizen.Someone came to visit Luo's family again.

This time it was Kikuchi Yoshitake's envoy.And the messenger is Higo's celebrity, Sagara Miyauchi, Shaofu Changyui.Although Sagara Nagaoi is only a small wealthy family in Higo Yatsushiro County, due to his outstanding diplomatic skills (he used to mediate several disputes between daimyos as a mediator several times) and business skills (he was a member of the Ouchi family and the Ming Dynasty). An important figure in the trade, and his family's business even reached the Ryukyu area), can also be regarded as a pivotal figure in Higo.

The arrival of Nagai Sagara also expresses the Kikuchi family's hope that the Yuluo family will turn their wars into jade silk.Knowing Sagara's reason for coming, Zheng Liang couldn't help but smile.

According to Kikuchi Yoshitake's description in history and Zheng Liang's personal observation, in Masamori's view, Kikuchi Yoshitake is a person who is persistent and good at pretending to be a "grandson".

The so-called perseverance is reflected in the fact that in history, he has been defeated by the Otomo family several times, but he still persists in his ideal of revitalizing the former prestige of the Kikuchi family. When he is knocked down, he will stand up again soon, and so on. Several times, finally after the new governor of the Otomo family, Otomo Yizhen, ruthlessly exiled him to Tsushima Island, coupled with his old age, he, the unbeatable Xiaoqiang, completely stopped.

As for pretending to be a "grandson", it shows that when facing a powerful force, he will always behave appropriately and obediently, so as to give himself a chance to breathe and grow again.Now, it's clear that he's played "grandson" all over again.
