"Meet my lord." The one who came to meet this time was the commander of the third standing water army of the Luo family, Fu Murakami Takeyoshi.

"Bukit, are you here to give me good news this time?" Sitting on the throne of the military tent, Masarashi asked.

"Present to the Lord, this is a gift that the Lord has asked to bring." Takeshi Murakami took the four wooden boxes from the hands of the two cloaked people behind him one by one, and opened them one by one. It contained a number of heads.

"Huh?" Before Murakami Takeshi could open his mouth to continue his report, Arima Qingchun on the side suddenly screamed, and then passed out directly.

"Come on, bring me some water, and wash your face for Arima-sama." The next good show can't be without the audience of Arima Qingchun, so after frowning, Masashi ordered someone to wake up Arima Qingchun who was in a coma.

After being woken up by a bucket of water, Masarashi said to Arima Qingjun, who was helped up: "Arima-sama, although you probably already know what happened to the road, I hope you are still learning some details, which may be of great help to your next decision." ”

After the latter reconfirmed the head in the wooden box, his feet were already weak and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Alright, Bukit, you go on."

"Yes, my lord. Following your orders, we arrived at Shimabara Bay, were received, and eventually raided Hara Castle with the help of Eiji Tsujihashi, the remaining commander of Hara Castle, and then the nearby Hinoe Castle......"

"Huh? Damn Tsuchihashi Eiyi, you damn it! Just as Takeshi Murakami continued to report the details, Arima Harumi suddenly broke free from the guards of the two samurai behind him and pounced directly on one of the boxes. He took a bite into the head of the box. This head is the head of Eiyi Tsuchihashi.

Who is Tsuchibashi Rongyi? This person turned out to be an important minister of the Ryuzoji family. According to historical records. In the 20th year of Astronomy (1550), after the rebellion of the Dow clan, the Ouchi clan's power circle in Kitakyushu was chaotic, and Chikuzen's guardian Daisugi Xingyun and Toyozen's guardian Daisugi Shigeju were killed one after another. When the war spread to Hizen, the ambitious Tsuchizoji Tsuchizoji Takanobu immediately supported the Ryuzoji Temple and rebelled, and Ryuzoji Takanobu hurriedly fled to take refuge in the place of Kamaike Kanmori, the lord of Yanagawa Castle in Chikugo, and after standing on his heels, he put down the rebellion two years later.

This guy has a backbone in the back of his head. Although after the appearance of the Luo family, the dragon temple family was eventually destroyed by the Shao Er family. And Ryuzoji Takanobu didn't know where he ran away. But this guy escaped by luck on the day the Ryuzoji family was wiped out, and finally took refuge in the Arima family. Of course, Arima Qingchun can't see other people's backbones like Zhuge Liang, so he gradually reuses this guy with good ability.

However, Tsuchihashi Eiyi's ambition could not be satisfied in the Arima family, so after receiving a letter from Masarashi himself who printed the flower monogram to ensure that he could get Nanhi as an anchor afterwards, Tsuchihashi Eiyi resolutely abandoned the counter-revolutionary camp of the Arima family and threw himself into the righteous camp of the Luo family.

But in the eyes of Masayo, who has always treated things like paperwork improperly, giving Tsuchihashi Eiyi a promise of security is like giving a blank check, and it can be taken seriously afterwards. Long before the departure of the Luo family's water army, Masara secretly sent a message to Tao Masathu and Murakami Takeyoshi. After Tsuchihashi Rongyi assists in completing the mission, this person does not have to stay. That's why there was finally the appearance of Tsuchihashi Eiyi's head.

After signaling the two samurai to pull Arima Harumi up, Masara motioned for Murakami Takeyoshi to continue his report.

"After capturing the original castle and Hinoe Castle, the subordinates and other generals and guards who were in charge of defending the castle were all killed, and all the family members of the Arima family were captured." After finishing speaking, Takeshi Murakami glanced at Harumi Arima, who had become completely decadent, with some sympathy. The lair was overrun, and among the people killed, Kamidai Guimao was still one of his sons, and he couldn't do it without decadence.

"After that, with the help of the captives, the ministers defrauded the nearby An Fu family's Shenjiang City and Ande City, and the men of the An Fu family An Fu Zhenzhi and the retainer An De Naoji were all cut down, and only some female dependents were left in the An Fu family." Takeshi Murakami said with a little trepidation. This time it was also the first time he picked up a knife to kill.

"At present, Fukae Castle, Antoku Castle, Hara Castle, and Hinoe Castle on Shimabara Island are all occupied by the main family, and Lord Tao Masatora has led the third standing naval army to stay in Fukae Castle and Antoku Castle according to the order of Lord Lord, and has begun to clean up the water potential on Shimabara Bay; And this time, the military division of Shinnosuke Akabane, who secretly came to support with a hundred samurai from Koyo Castle in Tamana County, Higo, also stayed at Hara Castle and Hinoe Castle. These four heads are the heads of Yasutomi Sadanao, Kamiyo Takashige, Ureshino Naotsu, and Tsuchihashi Eiyi. ”

"Good, good. Indeed, you have not disappointed your lord. Masarashi said happily. With the capture of the old nest of the Arima family and the Yasutomi family, most of the Shimabara Peninsula was also declared to be included in the scope of the Luo family's power. And the power of the Arima family, only the two castles of Shoushan Castle and Kamiyo Castle and the territory of the small half of Shimahara Island remained.

"How? Arima-sama, have you made your choice now? If Your Excellency refuses to surrender again, then I don't mind pushing all the relatives and males of the Youma family outside the Shoushan City to be slashed and killed one by one after capturing the Shoushan City. Masashi looked at Arima Qingjun, who was almost lying on the ground, and said.

"Minister...... Your Majesty, I wish ...... Willing to surrender. After being silent for a long time, Arima Qingchun said with difficulty. After Jucheng was seized by the Luo family and the family members were controlled, the belief in Arima Qingchun's heart was finally completely crushed.

It was only now that Arima Harumi truly realized how powerful the enemy he was facing. Not only is there a strong army on the frontal battlefield to attract them, but it can even send sweeping legions in the territory of the Omura and Saigo families who have been defeated, and the last one is to give the Arima family a fierce knife from behind, occupying the home city of the Arima family.

In this battle, the Arima family made too many mistakes, and they should not only raise such a small number of troops to deal with the invasion of the Luo family, if he was there, he would definitely raise tens of thousands of troops (the old and weak soldiers will not let go), and they will not let the navy go ashore and lose the surveillance of the Ariake Sea and Shimabara Bay. The last thing is that he should not become a prisoner of the enemy at this time. From the time he was kidnapped, everything fell into the calculations of the Luo family.

In the face of such an enemy, Arima Qingchun can only cry out in vain. With the current situation, if we continue to stubbornly resist, there is only the possibility of extermination. Harujun Arima, who had long had the consciousness of how to survive in the Warring States, finally chose to surrender to the Luo family.

"Anitabha, since Lord Arima is willing to surrender, then the poor monk is also willing to accompany Lord Arima on this trip." Just after Arima Qingchun expressed his willingness to surrender and went to Shoushan Castle to persuade him to surrender according to Masaara's previous request, Kuaikawa Shaoxi immediately expressed his willingness to go along.

"Master, think about it. Once Arima-sama decides to defend the castle to the death, or even use you as a threat, the family will not hesitate to launch a slaughter war against the castle. Masato said cautiously.

"If this trip can save thousands of lives, this life of a poor monk is enough." Kuaikawa Shaoxi said with a calm expression.

"In that case, then I'm waiting for the good news of the two of you outside the city." Masara said. This monk is very brainless when he recognizes reason, and Zhengliang, who has long been knowledgeable about this, has no choice but to nod and agree.

In the afternoon of the same day, Masahiro led the main army to join the vanguard army outside the castle. However, Masarashi did not immediately launch a siege battle, but watched Arima Haruki and Satsuki Kusakawa enter Shoushan Castle.

An hour later, the gate of Shoushan City was opened, and the two fathers and sons, Arima Qingchun and Arima Yoshizhen, led everyone in the city out of the city to surrender to Zhengliang. At this point, after almost a month, the southern hizen expedition finally ended with the surrender of the Arima family. Nan Feiqian was finally included in the territory of the Luo family.

As a result of the voluntary surrender, Masayo hired Arima Qingchun as the internal affairs director of the Luo family to assist Togo Heiji in charge of the agricultural affairs of the territory. His son, Yoshisada Arima, was temporarily placed at the Roche Academy to receive new knowledge. Historically, Ma Yizhen was a person who accepted foreign teachings, and naturally he would not resist some of the new knowledge advocated by the Luo family.

After making some arrangements for the affairs of Nanhimae, Masato led his army back to Kishigaku Castle. (To be continued......)
