Chapter 205: Thunder (5)

How to deal with the Misaku Legion, there was a special discussion after the war, but when it really came to deal with it, it still seemed pale and powerless. This time, it was not the two families of Misaku Province who were captured, and almost all of them were wiped out, and even the Shinfu clan, who had defected to the Akamatsu family, was hindered by the power of Niko Haruhisa and sent soldiers and horses to follow. In the battle of Tenjin Mountain Castle, although there were heavy casualties, when facing the Date army, he did not explode the tragic offensive and defensive battle that Niko Haruhisa expected, and chose to defect under the front of the Date army.

When dealing with the Misaku Army, you can't blindly kill and humiliate, after all, they have already surrendered, and if you go to excessive humiliation, it will seem that the Date family is not elegant enough; But if it is indiscriminately collected, the burden on the Date family will be greater than the gain, and the Misaku country will soon fall back into the chaos of the people, and the Date family will lose the right to rule the Misaku country.

Zhengheng was an otaku before his death, but he was also a loser under the struggle of society after a period of time, and he was used to seeing people and the world. People's hearts will deteriorate, although now the people of the Mimasaka Legion are happy to surrender to him, the three-star city lord Goto Katsuki is equally respectful when he sees him, and the small and medium-sized local tyrants below even regard him as a god.

But once Niko Haruma returns to Izumo Province, when Izumo Province settles down, and even once they return to Misaku Province, what little awe they have will disappear in the blink of an eye in front of their own petty interests and the power of Niko Haruhisa and others.

And to bring Misaku under the direct jurisdiction of the Date family, at least for a long time, there must be an agent of the Date family in the country. Just as Niko Haruma did, he installed Uyama Kukane and his clan in Tsuyama Castle and Takada Castle, and also supported Misaku as a lackey with the Emi clan, and Admiral Cheng DΓΉ took Misaku in his hands.

Of course, Misaku has a large Cheng dΓΉ and still maintains an independent state. It gave foreign enemies the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and in history, Urakami Sokei and Ukita Naoke and even Mori Motoku, who were preparing for China, had dominance over Misasakaku. Among them, the Ukita Naojia paid equal attention to suppression, on the one hand, he married the surviving man of Miura Sadakatsu, the lord of Takada Castle, Afuku, and raised Miura Sadakatsu's heir, Momojumaru, as his stepson, and encircled Miura Sadakatsu's widow for his own use. On the other hand, conspiracies and tricks assassinated a large number of unruly and unruly beautiful people, among which Goto Katsuki of Samsung City was even beaten under the sword and gun. Despite this, Misato still racked the brains of the Ukita Naoya, and from time to time there were small rebellions, and Misato finally succumbed in the time of the Ukita Hideya, to be exact, under the might of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The return of Urakami Masamune and the big investment in Ako County. The Date family finally hammered the wedge deep into the Nishi-Harima country, and as long as it was operated for a period of time, the ruling power of Nishi-Harima would fall into the hands of the Date family, which would be of great benefit to the rule of the Date family.

At the end of the trip to Ako County, Masahiro's eyes fell back on Misaku, and in order to solve Misasakaku, it was necessary to first solve the surrendered Misaku Army. After a period of cold treatment, it's time to divide and disintegrate the Misaku Legion. In the composition of the Retainers of the Date family, in addition to the Bichu people, due to the heavy use of Katayama Moricho and Shiro Guard's father and son, Misaku has a strong proportion and voice in the Date family, which is why Mrs. Miyoshi was shocked to hear that Takeuchi Hisaharu participated in the conspiracy of Miura Kusaku and Nikaido's uncle and nephew.

The Date family's rule over Mimasaka is not unavailable. This is also one of the reasons why Zhengheng is confident that Misaku will fall into his hands, and of course Misakuni is in a power vacuum, which gives him the opportunity to occupy it quickly. It's just that these Misaku people who joined the Date family are all middle- and lower-class characters like Katayama and his son, and most of them are losers after losing the battle, which is not good for the impatient political balance.

If this is not the case, it is just the nonsense of the brainless, and it is not easy to integrate the beautiful people into the system of the Date family for their own use.

During the march to Tenjin Mountain Castle, Zheng Heng, who was sitting on a horse, was holding a piece of information that had just been sent from Hecheng in Bei China. muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Hisaharu Takeuchi couldn't stay and wanted to participate, it's stupid." In his thinking, since recruiting Katayama and his son for his own use, Hisaharu Takeuchi opened a martial arts hall under his rule to teach Takeuchi Jiu-Jitsu, due to the unprecedented expansion of the Date family. It takes a lot of talent, and the Date family has not sent people to recruit Takeuchi Kuji.

Takeuchi Hisaharu is not optimistic about the rule of the Date family and Masahiro, thinking that Masahiro's rule is just a flower in the moon mirror in the water, but a void, it is all fantasy, not real, and one day it will be shattered like a bubble, and Takeuchi Hisaharu does not want to step into it early.

Zhengheng thought about it for a while, laughed at himself, but also extinguished the psychology of revenge against Takeuchi Hisaharu, did not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Katayama Moricho's combat exploits against Nizi Haruma this time were no less than Katsura Hengxin, Katayama Shiro Bei was still his personal guard captain, if he faced Fu Takeuchi Hisaharu, I was afraid that it would cause them to feel sad, or it was better to treat it coldly, extinguished the psychology of revenge, and also extinguished the idea of putting Takeuchi Hisaku back to the United States.

In Masako's thoughts, the forces supported by the Niko clan in Misaku should be uprooted, and the people of the Date family should be arranged into the Misaku country, and those people who were originally independent of the administrative system need to support the forces close to the Date family, among which the Samurai and the samurai, due to the relationship with the Date family, are involved in many things, and need to be focused on supporting, and it is not difficult for Takeuchi Hisaharu to return to Miwa Township, and Masahiro is also happy to see Takeuchi Hisaharu participate in it.

Zhengheng glanced back at Shiro Katayama, who was following behind him, and said, "Shiro Bei, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?" ”

Shiro Katayama was stunned for a moment, he didn't react, and hurriedly replied: "It's been five years." ”

Zhengheng nodded, didn't respond, waited for a while, and then said: "Originally, I thought that your father would go to Bigo Province to defend the side, but no one thought that it would expand so quickly, Misaku Country, hehe, Guji Beiguo, sue your father, and the disposal of the Samurai and the Samurai will be handed over to him, so I will tell him a word, I don't want to see the Samurai and the Samurai wandering outside the Date family system." ”

Katayama Shiro Bingwei has been following Zhengheng's side for a long time, knowing that what Zhengheng said today is what he said in his heart, and Zhengheng has always arranged Katayama to deal with Bigoko, Shenshi and other counties, and in the past few months, he has gone out to fight against Bigo, named the deputy general of the Second Route Army, but in fact, he controls the command of the Second Route Army, and has the meaning of arranging Katayama Moricho to sit in Bigo.

Katayama Shiro Bei did not refuse, he knew that it was not wise to act under the will of Shoyo, not to mention that in his eyes, it was a great kindness to be able to be forgiven and captured by the defeat of the Ida army with Niko Haruhisa, and he hurriedly said: "The minister will tell my father." ”

Zhengheng didn't say any more, he knew that Katayama Moricho was a smart person and knew what he meant, not to mention that who didn't want to get ahead, no one wanted to be a wedding dress for others. In fact, as Masahiro expected, Katayama Shiro Bei first told Katayama Moricho, and then got the official order of Masahiro, Katayama Moricho immediately went to the location where the Katayama and the samurai were placed, the castle was always breached from the inside, Katayama Morinaga, who was born in the Katayama and the samurai members, Xiaozhi moved with reason and seduced him with affection to benefit, and the Katayama and the samurai were not calm, and they all defected to the command of Katayama Moricho and were included in the system of the Date Army.

When Mashiro returned to Tenjin Mountain Castle, Katayama Moricho mobilized nearly half of the Katsumi and samurai to follow behind the Date Army.

Most of the people in the Misaku Legion are peasant soldiers.,These people have no loyalty at all.,Whoever is their lord will follow.,These people have also become a large part of the Date Army's conquest of the Misasaka country.,This expedition to the Misasaka country.,Masahiro only led no more than 3,000 elites.,Most of the rest are the surrendered Misasaka Legion.,The total strength reaches 10,000.。

On December 11, 1553, Masahiro gathered his troops on the ruins of Tenjinyama Castle and marched along the river towards Misasakaku and forced Goto Katsuki's stronghold of Sansanjo Castle. This is a war in which all the information has been weighed in advance and it is decided that the chances of victory are assured.

The three-star lord Goto Katsuki was captured, and now the guards in the city are his young son-in-law and Shiro, and he is assisted by Goto Katsuki's old retainer Suko Matabei Kei's family, which is the grandfather of Goto Keiji, one of the world-famous "Second Army Divisions".

Goto Kei's family doesn't have the ability of his grandson, but his personality is equally stubborn, known as the "stubborn father", he has repeatedly spoken out, and has annoyed Goto Katsuki several times, so he didn't take him to the expedition to Bizen to escape the catastrophe. After a banquet in history, the Goto family fled to Harima and became a retainer of the Kodera clan.

In the face of Date Jun's letter of persuasion and Goto Katsuki's petition, almost all the people in the city lost the confidence to resist, and here it is said that almost, not all, the "stubborn father" Hou Fuji's family once again made a mistake, and repeatedly said that they would resist to the end, but they were helpless and weak.

The political and horizontal soldiers got the three-star city without blood, and that night, the Goto Kei family fled to Harima Country with the whole family, and the rolling torrent of history still did not stop the bitter journey of Goto Matabei Kiji, one of the "Second Army Divisions" who was not yet born.
