With Masaga Ueno shooting Mori Takakei with an arrow, the battle of Yoshida-gun Yamashiro finally calmed down a little, and some of the Mori clan who were unwilling to fail were still making senseless resistance, and it was already a matter of time before Yoshida-gun Yamashiro was completely pacified.

With the pacification of Yamashiro in Yoshida-gun, the rebellion in Aki Province is finally coming to an end, and whatever Masahiro needs to face has to turn inward, but what he didn't expect was that there were some special captives with the arrival of Ueno Masacho and Katayama Moricho.

Zhengheng asked, "Where is the body of Maori Longjing now?" ”

Carrying a wooden box that I didn't know where to find it, Masaga Ueno asked, "Do you want to review it?" As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the wooden box, revealing the skull inside. The bloodstained head was as hideous as a demon, leaving only a dead look.

Zhengheng didn't feel the slightest discomfort because of this, and when he came to this troubled era of the Warring States, he was no longer surprised by death and corpses, and he recruited one to come, it was Takakane Fukase, who surrendered early. Takakan Fukase submitted the surrender table after the death of his nephew Takashi To, and when the Date army attacked the mountain castle of Yoshida County, he led his clan to serve early, and he bought horse bones, and Masahiro left him in the main battle to counsel the military. Takakane Fukase took a closer look at the inside of the box, nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, it's Mori Takakei." ”

Zheng Heng did not doubt him, his expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, it will be collected together with the corpse and buried next to his father and brother." Although it is an enemy, it is not convenient to be too humiliated after death, Chief, what else is there? ”

Masaga Ueno glanced at Katayama Moricho beside him. Motioning for Katayama to open his mouth. He wasn't the reckless man he was at the beginning. Now that the great merit of killing Mori Takakei has already fallen into the bag, it is also necessary to share some of the credit to the companions who attacked Honmaru at the same time, so as not to be isolated.

Katayama Moricho gave a grateful look, then bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, due to the suddenness of the incident, Mori Takakei was beheaded, except for some female relatives who committed suicide. captured the fourth son of Mori Motoshiro, the fifth son of Shofu Shiro, and the widow of Mori Takamoto, Yukimaru. Lord, don't know what to do with them? ”

Masahiro glanced at Ueno Masacho and Katayama Moricho, he also didn't expect to capture these people alive who would leave a name for themselves because of their fathers and ancestors in the future, as for Mori Takamoto's widow Yukitsurumu, if you tell everyone, Yukitsurumaru will be called Mori Terumuto when he grows up, will he suddenly realize, I didn't expect that it was really all in one catch.

Zhengheng did not hesitate in the slightest, and was not swayed by these figures who left their names in history. Since even Mori Motojo, Mori Takamoto, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Kobayakawa Takakei did not end up, these can only be regarded as second-rate and third-rate goods. It is really a crime to remain in the world and become the signature puppet of some careerists who are not willing to be silent. He didn't even have any frowns, and a sentence decided their life and death, and ordered: "Since they have been fighting with the Maori clan to the death, what is the use of keeping them?" Execute all the heirs and grandchildren of Maori Yuan! ”

Well, Zhengheng paused and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Yoshikawa Motoharu also has a son, and he searched and found it out and disposed of it together." ”

Katayama Mori responded and did not retreat, but instead hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "My lord, when I captured the descendants of Maori Moto, I also captured some female relatives of the Maori family, among which Yukizurumaru's mother is the second daughter of the great minister Naito Nagato Mamoru Xingsheng, is it also disposed of?" ”

Zheng Heng was slightly stunned, he looked straight at Katayama Shengchang, and paused for a while before saying, "What about longevity?" Although Naito Nagato Mamoru has passed away, the Naito clan's power in Nagato is still there, Ouchi Yoshicho has fled, and it is not easy for Ouchi Yoshitaka to defeat it lightly, so take care of it, maybe you can have a good relationship in the future. ”

As he spoke, seeing that the smoke of the mountain castle of Yoshida County was extinguished, Zheng Heng got up and stepped on his war horse and walked in the direction of the mountain castle of Yoshida County, and with the movement of the main general, the army began to move, and a group of cavalry followed behind Zheng Heng. Walk in front of the Sanmaru Gate in Yamashiro, Yoshida-gun.

Heihachi Miyazawa came to greet him with a scorched face, and behind him was an enemy general who was desperately struggling. The man was covered in bruises, with a huge wound on his back and left ribs, and as he breathed, blood splattered out from between his mouth and nose, like a blood mist.

The big man couldn't move at this time, but he glared at Zhengheng with tears in his eyes, and scolded angrily: "Date child, Date child, kill me!" Hugh will dishonor me. ”

Zhengheng looked down at the big man, his face was solemn, and he glanced left and right at Heihachi Miyazawa. Miyazawa Heihachi hurriedly replied: "The lord forgives the sin, this guy is the general Haruhisa Ninomiya under the command of Maori Moto, and the garrison Ozakimaru is very stubborn and has good skills. ”

Zhengheng didn't raise his eyes to look at Miyazawa Heihachi, but just let out a low "hmm", as if he thought of some anecdote, and said: "It turned out to be the second palace Haruhisa who made the Maori old man a green hat and was complacent!" Go back to his dwelling and behead his people. Zhengheng said that Haruha Ninomiya did wronged him by cuckolding, but in fact, he became a pick-up man, or he was willing to be a pick-up man. Haruhisa Ninomiya, who was originally considered a peripheral younger brother, thus became a close retainer of Mori Motosho, and lived in Yamajo in Yoshida County with his wife and concubine.

Ernomiya Haruhisa heard that Zhengheng was going to punish his clan, glared at Zhengheng angrily, and wanted to scold, causing Miyazawa Heihachi to throw his hand and hit him on the chin, which shattered his jaw, and he could only whine and make a sound, escorted to the side of the road, and cut it down with a knife.

Zheng Heng didn't look at the second palace Haruhisa who was in a different place, pulled the reins and walked towards Sanmaru, and the end of the walk became faster and faster. Broken swords and blood sprays could be seen everywhere as Mashiro entered Koriyama Castle, and it was clear that the defenders had put up a desperate resistance here, and fierce battles were fought at every portal and corridor.

Seeing this, Masahiro turned back to Miyazawa Heihachi who was following closely and asked, "How was the result?" ”

Miyazawa Heihachi followed him and replied, "One hundred and twenty-three of his cronies and retainers, seventy-one were killed, the rest were captured alive, and the rest of the soldiers were killed more than three hundred and more than six hundred and thirty prisoners. Our troops were killed in 234 and 78 seriously wounded. ”

With an absolute advantage, more than 300 people were killed or wounded, and it was really a bit unexpected by Zhengheng, and it seems that the last resistance of the Maori clan was very fierce. This is also due to the combat power that broke out under complete despair, Zheng Heng frowned, and then made a slashing gesture and said, "Send all the captives to Tongshan and work hard for ten years." ”

If they are captured, the samurai must be interrogated first, and if they are willing to surrender, they will be dealt with appropriately.

Zhengheng has always treated his captives leniently, and even sometimes criticized by his retainers, but today he has to send all of them to Tongshan to serve ten years of hard labor, which is a hundred times more cruel than killing them easily, and it seems that the style of Zhengheng in normal times is completely different.

Although Miyazawa Heihachi is known for his tyranny, and he has also done the work of slaughtering and fiddling with Kyokan, he was still stunned for a moment when he heard the order of Zhengheng, felt a little puzzled, and asked: "Did the lord say that regardless of whether it was a samurai or a soldier, all of them were sent to Tongshan?" ”

Zhengheng, who stopped, saw the stone tablet engraved with a million hearts, but now it seemed more lonely, he said: "It is said that it is the stone tablet of one million hearts set up by Maori Yuan, and after today, An Yiguo will not have a trace of Maori Yuan." ”

For Maori Yuan, although he is verbally contemptuous, he is actually quite in awe of Zhengheng in his heart, and for An Yiguo, who started from Maori Yuan, although he is not afraid of any enemy now, the influence of the Maori family still exists, and if it is used by some wealthy families or foreign daimyos, it will cause great trouble for Zhengheng who has not yet established authority in Anyi.

Rather than this, it is better to kill them all. Of course, it is claimed to the outside world that he will go to Tongshan to work and will be released after ten years, but what kind of place does Tongshan go, I am afraid that he will not even suffer for two or three years, even if he returns in ten years, if the Date family still can't sit firmly in An Yiguo, even if it is defeated, it will be in vain.

After seeing the stele with a million hearts, Masahiro had no interest in moving on, stopped in front of the stele, saw Noyama Masaasa coming, and then ordered: "Requisition the people, demolish Koriyama Castle, transport the stone to the Hiroshima Plain, and I will build a port castle at the mouth of the Ota River." He ordered the envoys of his family to send them to the various wealthy clans, and said that they should be sent to Yinshan City within three days. ”

Hiroshima Castle, Masahiro did not want to copy Hiroshima Castle, his idea was to build a port city on the Hiroshima Plain, and now with the surrender of the Yashiro Island naval army, the Date family has dominated the Seto Inland Sea, and the strategy has shifted from land to land.

Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, the leading city of Niko Haruhisa.

Since the Shingu Party was in turmoil, it was rare for Niko Haruhisa to have a happy time, but fortunately, some time ago, the news came that the three coalition forces of Ouchi Yoshinaga, Mori Takakei, and Murakami Takeyoshi were attacking Date Masahiro, which made Niko Haruma's mood happy all of a sudden.

Although Niko Haruhisa understands that with Ouchi Yoshinaga, Mori Takakei, and Murakami Takeyoshi, they can block Date Mashiro's attack, and in his opinion, even he himself is capsized in the gutter, not to mention the three people who even he can't look down on, but he is still quite looking forward to being able to drag Date Masaki's footsteps, at least wait until Niko Haruhisa calms down the Shingu Party and recovers some vitality before competing with Date Masaki.

Of course, if God blesses and Date loses the political balance, Niko Haruhisa will also fall into the well.

Obviously, the news that Niko Haruhisa got made his mood not only not better, but more and more depressed, and after getting the news that Ouchi Yoshinaga had fled and the mountain castle of Yoshida County was broken, he started to have a fever. (To be continued......)
