Warring States Eagle

Astronomical 20 years ([-]), early October.It has been several days since the Luo family's navy seized the opportunity to capture Fengqian Country Gate Si Castle and Nagato Country Miozaki Castle.

During this period of time, while Zheng Liang was busy repairing the Luo family's army, which had undergone rapid marches and battles, he arranged for personnel to quickly close the newly occupied Munakata County of Chikuzen State, the State Enterprise Salvation County of Buzen State, and Toyoura County of Nagato State. The southern coast of the strait was taken over.In addition, due to the sudden loss of Misaki Castle on the coast of the Kanmon Strait, the Naito family of the Nagato Kingdom has recently quickly deployed troops to station in Katsuyama Castle, which is less than two miles away from Misaki Castle in the south, and it is possible to regain Misaki Castle. Masaragi had no choice but to suspend his invasion of other parts of the Bungzen Kingdom.

If it is said that Moji Port and Moji Castle are the main targets of Masara's Bungzen Kingdom raid this time, then Misaki Castle is a surprise.Moji Castle is located on the south bank of the Kanmon Strait, while Mozaki Castle is located opposite Moji Castle, which is the north shore of the Kanmon Strait.The two walled cities guard the sea channel of the Guanmen Strait like door gods.Taking control of these two fortresses not only allowed the Luo family to completely control the Kanmon Strait and the coasts on both sides, but also allowed the Luo family to gain a foothold in the northern part of the Buzen country and the southern part of the Nagato country. The Luo family launched further raids in these two places.

Of course, the reason why the Luo family's navy was able to successfully take down these two fortresses was also entirely a coincidence.

Because Ouchi family governor Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed by Tao Longfang, the Ouchi family navy in Moji Harbor fell into chaos. At this time, the Luo family navy of the brigade appeared in front of them. Coupled with the terrifying fighting power displayed by Li Huamei's gigantic fortune ship, it instantly and completely broke the will of these already chaotic Ouchi family sailors.So before the fierce battle with the Luo family's water army was fully launched.They fled of their own accord.

As for the Naito family water army and defenders of Nagasaki Castle in the Nagato Kingdom.It is because after Tao Longfang launched a rebellion during this period, Zhou Fangguo and many areas of Nagato Kingdom fell into chaos. Many local wealthy families were worried about being attacked by Tao Longfang, so they either fled or united in an attempt to resist The rebels of Tao Longfang.In order to ensure the safety of the territory, the Naito family just deployed most of the troops of the Nagasaki Castle to the border area between the Nagato Kingdom and the Zhou Fang Kingdom, which caused an emptiness in the Nagasaki Castle, and was taken by the Luo family's navy in one fell swoop. And down.

Although Takashi Murakami allowed the Luo family to obtain two fortifications in one fell swoop because of his own selfishness, but the so-called rewards and punishments are clear, he changed Zheng Liang's order without authorization and delayed the arrival of supplies such as grain, grass, and siege weapons to Xiaocang. time in the waters near the city.After conferring a part of the territory as a reward for Murakami's military exploits, Zheng Liang demoted Murakami to be the deputy general of the first division of the navy.

As for the vacant position of the chief general of the first division of the Navy, Li Huamei was jointly elected by military adviser Yamamoto Kansuke and Kakukuma Ishimune after receiving Masaragi's private instruction.Li Huamei's military achievements in rescuing Zhengliang in the Iki waterway last time and in the process of capturing Moji Castle and Luozaki Castle this time are obvious to all. What's more, it is now jointly elected by two military divisions, so everyone regards Li Huamei as the first There is no objection to the position of the commander of the standing water army.

Zhengliang's series of rewards and punishments is not only to tell everyone that no matter you are a man or a woman, as long as you make contributions to the Luo family, the Luo family will reward them according to the Luo family's laws.As for those who violate the law.No matter how high or low your position is, you will be punished.

What's more, through the grand punishment of Murakami, the generals will get a warning.Let them know not to change Lord Zhengliang's order easily at any time.As for Takashi Murakami, in fact, he was demoted to lieutenant general to prevent him from having a moment of enthusiasm in the future and taking the Luo family's navy to the Seto Sea to fight recklessly with the Noshima navy.In comparison, his nephew Murakami Takekichi seemed much calmer. As a garrison of the Bungo Waterway, he had a better chance than Murakami Takashi to go to the Seto Inland Sea where the Nojima Marines were located, but since he was stationed in For so long in Bungosuidao, he has never expressed the idea of ​​leaving to take revenge.

After dealing with Takashi Murakami and others, Zhengliang fell into a busy government affairs.On this day, when Zheng Liang was dealing with government affairs in the meeting hall of Xiaocang City, the commoner Wu Xianjian hurried in.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, fire, what a big fire!"

"Fire? Is there a fire?" Hearing that it was a fire, Zheng Liang asked immediately.

"It's a mountain, and the mountains in the distance are full of fires." Bai Wuxian reported.

"Take me to see."

Soon, under the leadership of Bai Wuxian, Zheng Liang came to the top of Xiaocang Castle. At this time, many soldiers and even retainers who heard the news had already stood on the top of the city and looked at it.

Zheng Liang raised his eyes to look west following the guidance of the crowd.On the mountains to the west, huge thick smoke was rising, and in some places, fires tens of meters high had even burned.Even standing on the top of the city far away from the mountains, Zheng Liang could still feel that there was a demonic energy hovering in the distant mountains at this moment, gray with some ferocity, and the forest in the mountains was burning The rising mountain fire seemed to be attacking with its bloody mouth open, with thick smoke and scorching heat, mixed with wanton whistling sounds, and the suffocating sound of rapidly burning gas, it seemed that the world was also moved by this gushing. Let go of the outbreak that comes.

"My lord!" At this time, Kansuke Yamamoto, Ishimune Kakukuma and others also arrived after receiving the news.

"What do you think of this wildfire?" Zheng Liang asked, frowning.

"At this time, it is the season of high and fresh autumn, and it is normal for wildfires to occur in the mountains. It is just that the ministers feel strange, why this fire will be so large, and it will almost destroy the imperial promise between the Chikuzen Kingdom and the Buzen Kingdom. The mountains are burning," Kakukuma Ishimune said.

"Looking at the situation, this mountain fire is extending from the forest area in the central part of Buzen Kingdom. My lord, why don't you send someone to investigate?" Yamamoto Kansuke also said.

So Zheng Liang sent detectives to investigate near the source of the forest fire, and at the same time waited for definite news in Xiaocang Castle.Two days later, he still didn't get any definite news, instead he waited for Tao Longfang's envoy.

"Negotiate peace with my family? Do you want my family to send Ouchi Yoshinaga to Zhou Fangguo as the new governor of the Ouchi family?" After meeting Tao Longfang's envoy in the meeting hall, the visitor immediately made Tao Longfang's request.What made Zheng Liang almost laughed out of anger was that the other party actually made such a request.

You know, Ouchi Yoshinaga is now the banner of righteousness for the Luo family to invade the Fengqian country?And strictly speaking, the Luo family and Tao Longfang are in a hostile relationship. Zhengliang really can't think of any benefit in sending Ouchi Yoshinaga back to the Tao family to help Tao Longfang stabilize the family strife.What's more, Ouchi Yoshinaga is still Otomo Yoshin's younger brother?Although Yoshitaka Ouchi was just a puppet after Zhou Fangguo (and since he was not Yoshitaka Taiuchi's own flesh and blood, his ability to win over the wealthy families in history is really limited), but it is inevitable that he and Ouchi Yoshitaka The town teamed up to deal with the Luo family.So after hearing Jiang Liangfangrong's request from Tao Longfang's emissary, Zheng Liang already had the urge to drive Jiang Liangfangrong away immediately.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Repairman, please read this letter written by Mr. Ben family first before making a conclusion." Seeing that Zheng Liang's face was unhappy after listening to his request, Jiang Liang Fang Rong immediately took it out of his arms. He sent out a letter and said to Zhengliang.

For this mission, Jiang Liang Fangrong was a little dissatisfied.Now who knows that the governor of Luo's family is a decisive guy, Jiang Liang Fangrong is really worried that he will anger the evil star Zheng Liang if he doesn't pay attention for a while, and thus lead to death.My heart became more and more dissatisfied with Tao Longfang.

In fact, after Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed, Jiang Liangfang Rong and Tao Longfang had conflicts.The main reason is that Jiang Liangfang Rong thought that he had gained a lot of military exploits in this attack on Ouchi Yoshitaka, but he did not get the fief that Tao Longfang should have given afterwards, so he became dissatisfied with Tao Longfang , and now being forced to send to Luo's family as an envoy, the dissatisfaction in his heart intensified.In history, Jiang Liangfang Rong and his family were also killed by Tao Longfang in Tao Longfang's action to eliminate dissidents.
