Seeing that the sky was faintly shining, the soldiers of the Date Army, who had been busy all night, finally had a rest, and they had no experience of the real hand-to-hand combat of the ferry battle and the deception of the Stone Crab Mountain City, but the difficulty of the mountain road made everyone cry bitterly, and more than a dozen Ashigaru who had fallen from the team heard the news spread by the scattered Stone Crab Army miscellaneous soldiers and rushed to the Stone Crab Mountain City in a small boat to help the battle, not only did Zhengheng not blame them, but rewarded them for their loyalty.

In the second half of the night, it rained heavily, and the water in the Gaoliang River became turbulent, and the depth of the ferry did not increase much, but if it was really a swimming crossing, not many people had the courage to enter the water for fear of not having their lives ashore, and the boats were mostly collected by the stone crab Shouyuan, and it was great that they could find a small boat to cross the river.
Regarding the slaughter of the Stone Crab Clan, Zheng Heng didn't have much regret, and the relationship between the Stone Crab Clan and the Sancun Clan was put aside.
Stone Crab Shouyuan was able to return from Tsukiyama Tomita Castle had to make people ponder, and in his heart, a cold sweat broke out behind his back, understanding that this was a disadvantageous move from the Nizi family, and he had always been the same as the envoy of Namatsuyama Castle.
This is a bit of a misunderstanding of the one from Matsuyama Castle.
Atsutaro Kiyokawa and Yajiro Matsushima led a team to guard next door to the small courtyard, he was no longer a monk of the small Umegawain Temple, but the backbone of hundreds of retainers of the Date family, so it was natural to pay more attention to the safety issue. With guards, the authority can also be improved, and it is much more convenient to do things.
Atsutaro Kiyokawa and Yajiro Matsushima were envious when they saw Kogoro Iwase leading six fishing boats carrying more than a hundred large and small heads down the river to Kawasaki Castle.
Kogoro Iwase seemed to be taking the risk of carrying more than 100 heads to the gate of Kawasaki Castle to set up a view of Kyoto and send an ultimatum, as if it was extremely dangerous.
However, they understood that it would not take long for the battle of the ferry to be passed on to Kawasaki Castle by word of mouth from the deserters, and the more than 100 heads could make people understand and know that Stone Crab Mountain Castle had fallen into the Date family's guard, and they were afraid in their hearts where they dared to kill Iwase Kogoro, the messenger of the Date family.
Atsutaro Kiyokawa sighed softly and said with envy: "Akagi-kun has been given the duty to raid the material warehouses inside and outside the city, and now Kogoro has won the first credit for defrauding the stone crab mountain castle, and he has been ordered to go to Kawasaki Castle to deliver a letter, I am afraid that the promotion is in sight." ”
As he clenched his fists, he muttered to himself, "I should work hard, too." Yajiro Matsushima glanced at Atsutaro Kiyokawa, who was talking to himself, and his eyes also flashed with envy and excitement.
At this moment, the two brothers Kojiro and Koshichiro, who were ordered to look for the stone crab Shouyuan at the ferry in front, arrived, and Kiyokawa Atsutaro immediately hurried into the inner courtyard to report, and saw the lord standing under a cherry blossom tree that was still hanging with rain, so he knelt down beside the muddy puddle and said: "Your Highness, the two brothers Kojiro and Koshichiro, who were ordered to find out the movements of the stone crab Shouyuan, have returned. ”
Zhengheng once again glanced at the cherry blossom tree that had been grateful, for more than ten years, he had been standing under such a tree to look at life, recall the memories of his previous life, and look forward to a happy life in the future, but he did not expect that he would one day become a butcher with blood on his hands, but he did not regret it at all, shook off the dew on his body, saw Kiyokawa Atsutaro kneeling next to the muddy puddle, and said: "Bring Kojiro, Koshichiro, and let Matsushima Yajiro and others come to the hall." ”
Saying that, he walked to the hall, this courtyard was originally the residence of Shi Crab Shouyuan, and the furnishings in the house were all new, who let Shi Crab Shouyuan return to Shi Crab Mountain City for more than ten days, and the others were not purchased, and the furnishings in the residence were all brand new, but it was cheaper, and he had not lived in such a good house.
There is a barbecue grill in the center of the hall, which shows the hobby of the original owner, and now it is boiling the rice, which is almost cooked, and the steaming heat is rising.
After a while, Atsutaro Kiyokawa walked in with Yataro Matsushima, Kojiro, Koshichiro, and six other people, a total of ten people, all kneeling down at the door outside the hall and saluting: "Your Highness, good morning!" ”
Zhengheng beckoned Atsutaro Kiyokawa and the others to come in, and said, "Go to the hall to talk, eat a meal to warm up your body first!" Atsutaro, go next door and get some chopsticks, and you sit down too. ”
Matsushima Yajiro hurriedly said: "Report to Your Highness, these two people are Moribeiro and Junichi Koizumi, and they are the small leaders of Tongshan, they are Aso Jiro, Noda Iyoiwa, Fukuda Nobita, Hatoyama Afuku, and they were born in Koroong City. "You don't need to remember these people, they are all passers-by who will only appear once or twice.
Zhengheng beckoned everyone to eat the steaming rice, and tears welled up in his eyes with excitement. Waiting for Kiyokawa Atsutaro and the others to eat the rice with tears in their eyes, Zhengheng asked, "Do you want it, there is still it in the basin." As he spoke, he brought the sparkling rice out of the basin. Everyone hurriedly knelt down and knelt down: "The ministers are sincerely afraid, thank Your Highness for your kindness, the ministers are already full, please give your Highness orders." ”
Zhengheng knew how they could be full, but since they were convinced, it would be a bit too much to do more, so he stopped persecuting and said: "Moribeiro, Junichi Koizumi, Jiro Aso, Noda Ichigan, Nobita Daibita, Hatoyama Afuku, you have worked hard, you can rest." ”
Moribeiro, Junichi Koizumi, Jiro Aso, Noda Iyowa, Nobita Hirobita, and Hatoyama Afuku said, "The ministers are retired!" Saying that, he left in a hurry, and passers-by retreated behind the scenes and stopped performing.
Kojiro walked two steps on his knees and said: "Your Highness, the two brothers were ordered to go to the ferry to find the stone crab Shouyuan, and learned from the captured deserters that the stone crab Shouyuan really fled to the direction of Kawasaki Castle under the protection of dozens of soldiers, and it is not clear whether the ministers have entered the city or not. ”
Zheng Heng smiled and said: "Stone Crab Shouyuan was able to escape a catastrophe, it was really fateful, the battle of the ferry was able to escape his life, the Stone Crab clan has been wiped out, and his hatred with us is as deep as the sea, but don't worry too much, the little Stone Crab Shouyuan is not in my eyes." Kojiro, Koshichiro, you have worked hard, go next door to rest for a while, I think today is another busy day. "Indeed, a stone crab Shouyuan who has lost his minions is indeed not placed in the eyes of Zhengheng, in Zhengheng's view, the samurai retainers are like the claws and teeth of a person, the samurai retainers are united and fast like the sharp minions, and the dispersion and hesitation are like the broken and sluggish minions. Without the command of one person, the minions are like a plate of scattered sand, and there is no fear of them, and even if the people who have lost their minions are wiser than the sky, braver, and stronger than the ghost samurai, and his father-in-law, he will not escape the tricks of fate, and his life is thinner than paper. This point, Shi Crab Shouyuan will not agree with it on the surface, but he also admits it in his heart.
In the text, the ghost warrior and his father-in-law are the three days general Akechi Mitsuhide who was stabbed to death by a peasant with a shot.
Kojiro and Koshiro said goodbye and left.
Kiyokawa Atsutaro saw that only he and Matsushima Yajiro were left in the hall, and he couldn't miss the opportunity to come again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, what to do with the 52 captives who surrendered before the city was broken last night?" He was referring to the group of people who had followed Inoue Kansuke out of the city last night and knelt down and begged for mercy.
Zhengxing said unhurriedly: "How is their relationship?" "Zheng Heng did not answer how to deal with the captives, but the question was their feelings.
Qinghe Atsutaro was stunned and hurriedly replied: "Seeing the slaughter of the Stone Crab clan, I was terrified and begged for mercy. ”
