Hizen Matsuura County is mainly controlled by the Matsuura family.In the north, there is the Hirado Matsuura family who unified the Matsuura clan in the future. The current owner is Matsuura Mitsunobu, and Matsuura Shinnobu, who has been widely passed down to later generations because of the unification of the Matsuura clan, is still only a 13-year-old child; the west is the Matsuura clan. The head of the Matsuura family was Matsuura Masaaki, who was usurped by Hirado Matsuura a few years later. To the east was the Hata family of the upper Matsuura clan, whose head was Hata Mori.Bodo is now at its peak. From Iki Island to Higashi Matsuura, and even Minami Matsuura are within the sphere of influence of Bodo. Higashi Matsuura alone already has an income of more than 5 shi.

As a branch of the Bodo family in charge of the Karatsu area, the nearly 55-year-old Bodo has devoted himself to everything. After seeing the Huzi family gather a group of small tyrants to besiege the Sashi family, he was sensitively aware of the threat of the growing Huzi family (historical Among them, it was also Bodo that eventually destroyed the Huzi family).At this time when the Matsuura clan is in constant disputes, Bodo must preserve the only Sashi family that can temporarily restrain the development of the Huzi family, until Bodo resolves the family disputes, and then frees up to clean up the Huzi family.So at the last moment, he made a decisive move.

Under Miyajima Castle, in the open-air military tent, Huzi Otomo sat on the main seat with an unhappy face, and said to an old man opposite in a low voice, "Master Rigao, is this what Lord Bodoto means?"

"Although it is a bit abrupt, this is exactly what the Patriarch of the family meant. Master Yuan thinks this is just a misunderstanding, and I hope you can stop the war and make peace."

"Lord Ri Gao, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow my orders. The Zuozhi family has repeatedly robbed our merchant ships and invaded your territory. It can't be a misunderstanding. Please reply to Mr. Boduo, this is already related to the reputation of our family. Even my samurai dignity, I can never let it go," Huzi Otomo said solemnly.All the tyrants around also echoed in low voices.

"In this regard, I assure you that the Sashi family can give you a satisfactory answer. Moreover, this conflict has even been heard by the head of the family, Hata Sheng in Kishigake City, and ordered the head of the family to mediate. I hope that you can follow the call of the family. End this dispute as soon as possible. Moreover, Mr. Hata Sheng decided to use troops against the Hirado Matsuura clan again in the near future. At that time, you will need your support. It seems that it is not a wise move to suffer too much damage in this dispute," the old man said slightly Said threateningly, and at the same time said a piece of shocking news, General Hata will use troops against the Hirado Matsuura clan.

All the tyrants in the military tent really started to stir.You must know that Hata just used troops against the Hirado Matsuura clan last year, and they didn't expect to use them again so soon.

"Hmm," Huzi Dayou pretended to be extremely embarrassed, frowning and thinking hard.In fact, he also had a plan to withdraw troops in his heart.After besieging the Zuozhi family's main city for several days in a row, all the tyrants were injured, but the Zuozhi family still defended. With the grain road constantly threatened, Huzi's family already had the intention to retreat.Besides, this time it also greatly weakened the Sashi family. In the past few days of the battle in the cage city, all the tyrants searched the surrounding towns, and even destroyed the fields; and the harbor of the Sashi family was also looted. Yes, even though he was blamed for no reason, as long as the Zuozhi family is weakened, it is a good thing. Generally speaking, even if the coalition forces withdraw now, what will be left to the Zuozhi family is nothing more than a mess.In the end, the most important reason that prompted Huko Otomo to decide to withdraw troops was that the Hirado Matsuura clan, who had been coveting the sea waterways controlled by the Huko family, seemed to have changed recently.

"My family can withdraw troops, but the Patriarch of the Zuozhi family must apologize and compensate each of you present with supplies worth 500 kan. If the Sashi family refuses, then we will end it," Huzi Otomo said finally.

"Okay, let's convey the conditions of reconciliation to the Sashi family in Xiajincheng, and at the same time, please temporarily withdraw the troops in Waimaru to the gate of Waimaru City." The old man seemed to have been prepared for Huiko Otomo's conditions, and said calmly.

With the conditions of all the tyrants, the mediation envoy of Hatata entered the inner Marunaka of Miyajima Castle.The head of the Zuozhi family, Zuozhi Dingman, sat silently on the main seat, listening to the envoy's words quietly.In his middle age, his black hair turned gray overnight due to continuous fatigue.At this moment, his heart was desolate. After being besieged for several days, the Sashi family was exhausted. He lost nearly half of his relatives and samurai in the battle of Waimaru. This was the worst war the Sashi family had ever experienced.The allies who have been placed high hopes have not seen a shadow so far, and it seems that there is no hope.As for the navy, according to the news brought by the messenger, it has been confirmed that it has been preserved. This should be the only good news he has received in the past few days.

Now, the city is full of wounded soldiers, and without timely treatment, most of these people will die slowly.Under such circumstances, there is no need to continue the fight. Even if the coalition forces retreat in the end, the Sashi family, whose vitality has been greatly weakened, will be gradually eaten away by the surrounding tycoons.As the patriarch of the Zuozhi family, Zuozhi Dingman has long been aware of his contribution, but the other party's conditions are too harsh, even if he apologizes, the family fortune left behind will only let the Zuozhi family survive.This is something he cannot accept anyway.

"Master Rigao, please forgive me for your rudeness. But this family cannot accept such a condition, please tell Mr. Huzi that we will have another life-and-death battle," Zuo Zhi said firmly.

"Bodo guarantees that the territory of the Sashi family will not be reduced. This is a letter entrusted to you by the head of the family," the old man said while taking out a letter, "In the letter, the head of the family made a solemn promise. With the support of my family, the family will soon recover."

Zuo Zhi Dingman read the contents of the letter carefully, his hands trembling slightly, obviously deep in his heart he was thinking intensely. "Hey!" After a long sigh, Zuo Zhi Dingman turned his head and looked at the sky outside the council hall, "Then, the Sashi family will entrust Mrs. Boduo in the future."

After some bargaining, the eight-day-long war finally came to an end.The Sashi family paid the head of the family to apologize, and compensated the Huzi family with 2000 supplies, and the remaining 200 supplies for the tyrants who besieged Miyajima Castle, in exchange for the retreat of the coalition forces.Even away from the main battlefield, the three powerful families including the Luo family who were in charge of intercepting missions also received 100 pieces of material compensation respectively.This was mainly proposed by the Huzi family for the purpose of further squeezing the Sashi family.

Only 13-year-old Sashi Sadahide became the new head of the Sashi family, leaving him with a greatly reduced strength of the Sashi family.The tyrants who besieged the palace city were also injured to varying degrees. Even if they got compensation, it was obviously not worth the loss.The only winner is estimated to be Huzi's family. Even if it is also damaged, with the support of a strong family, it will recover soon, but the surrounding tycoons will take longer to recover.In this way, the Huzi family indirectly attacked the strength of all the tyrants around it, and stabilized its position as the second tycoon in Dongsongpu.Of course, the Luo family gained a lot in this war.In terms of supplies alone, they received 200 shi of grain and 10 swords that the Huzi family promised to support after the war, plus 400 shi of grain as compensation from the Sashi family (coins, swords and other materials have been divided by the coalition forces under Miyajima Castle. Luo’s family had no choice but to choose grain as compensation), and they already had more than 600 shi of grain; in addition, they occupied half of Mingyuezhong’s territory; more importantly, they looted the port of Sazhi’s family and obtained a lot of materials and Luo’s The first navy of the family.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that guy Sashi Dingman to be really courageous." In the tent of the coalition army under Miyajima Castle, laughter is everywhere now.This is the last meeting of the coalition forces. According to the agreement, the coalition forces will be disbanded tomorrow, and then each will return to their own territory.

"Yes, as long as the siege lasts for a few more days, the Zuozhi family will definitely surrender. What a pity," someone immediately interjected.All of a sudden, everyone was chatting loudly.

Masaragi sat in a corner as before, listening to the discussion of the crowd while tasting the sake in his hand.Looking at the sake in the wooden bowl, Zheng Liang couldn't help recalling the records about sake in Chinese history books.In ancient times, there was only "turbid wine" in Japan, but no sake.Later, someone added charcoal to the turbid wine to make it precipitate, and took the clear wine to drink, so it was named "sake".After the middle of the 7th century AD, Baekje, the ancient country of Korea, had frequent contacts with China and became a bridge for the introduction of Chinese culture to Japan.Therefore, the Chinese technology of using "quzhong" to make wine was spread from Baekje people to Japan, which greatly improved and developed Japan's wine making industry.At this time, Japan's wine-making technology has matured, and sake is the most common wine.To be honest, the taste of this kind of wine, which was later regarded as the quintessence of the country, is not very good, and it cannot be compared with the wines of later generations.

"Hahaha, Your Highness Zheng Liang has really shined this time, and he really deserves to be the Eagle of Higashimatsuura." At this time, the young master of the Huzi family, Huzi Zhengyou, who was talking with everyone, found Zhengliang in the corner, and immediately said loudly .

"His Royal Highness Zhengyou has praised you, it's just a fluke," Zheng Liang, who had woken up from his contemplation, immediately replied indifferently.What the fuck is this pedophile up to?Could it be that he wanted to draw the attention of other tyrants to the Luo family.

"His Royal Highness's family crest is rarely seen. I wonder who His Highness's ancestors are?" Hu Zizhengyou said resolutely.As soon as this topic came out, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even Huzi Otomo, who was above the main seat, looked at Zhengliang.

"The family ancestor once participated in the Genpei War," Zheng Liang said.The earliest family crests used in wars were in the Genpei era, when the Heike and Genke used red flags and white flags respectively as identification credentials for military strength.Red is a color that is easy to boost morale. Relatively speaking, white is pure and clean, and is the color of a pure god. It is said that gods live on it, and the army often uses it to look forward to the protection of gods. Later, it developed into white, The flags dyed by gods such as Hachiman Bodhisattva, and the family crest of the Luo family are on a white background.Of course, Zhengliang is an out-and-out Han Chinese, so he played a side ball, just saying that he participated in the Genpei War, and did not say that he is Ri himself.Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, the surrounding tyrants suddenly realized, no wonder the Luo family's family flags are mainly white.

"It turned out to be the descendant of Genji, and it really is a famous family," Huzi Otomo said suddenly.

Zheng Liang gave a slight salute as an answer.I didn't admit that it was Genji's descendant. Of course, you all think so, and I don't mind. At least in this era, it is a good thing to have a better blood background.As soon as Huzi Dayou's words came out, the surrounding Hao Qiang looked at Zheng Liang with a different meaning.

The discussion about where the Luo family came from was just a small episode in the whole meeting.Soon everyone was talking about other topics, Masara was once again able to leisurely taste the bottle of sake that Huzi's family bought from Hakata.Of course, he didn't know that a conspiracy against him was going on secretly at this moment.
