Chapter 768: Fuding Zongxiang County
In fact, when Lu Cidaoxue was sent to Zongxiang's house to win over the father and son of Zhanbu, Zhengliang thought that he would definitely succeed. Because he knew that it was under the guidance of the Champbe family that Lu Cidaoxue would marry Sehime, the daughter of the Zongxiang family's governor Zongxiang clan (that is, the sister of the next family governor Zongxiang Shizhen) under the auspices of Otomo Yoshizhen. As a result, the power of the Otomo family will smoothly return to Chikuzen Province.
It's just that to his surprise, the Champbe family, who took the initiative to persuade the Zongxiang family to join the Otomo family in history, is now so forcefully resisting the Luo family's advance. This question was not until the Zhanbu family took the initiative to open the gate of Xu Feishan City and surrendered to the Luo family, and the new governor of the Zhanbu family, the Zhanbu Shangzhi, came to visit Zhengliang, and Zhengliang knew the reason. It turned out that it was the new governor who led the way in history, but Lu Cidaoxue now encountered the stubborn previous governor of the family, Zhanbu Shang'an, and naturally suffered a setback.
But even if he encountered a little trouble, now he finally took Xu Feishan City, as the Zhanbu family who took the initiative to sacrifice the city, Zhengliang also personally pardoned his family's previous crime of blocking the pace of the Luo family's strategy, and personally issued a security block, ensuring that his family's original territory would not be reduced (in fact, it is the territory of 200 stones). As Lu Ci Daoxue, who had a meritorious role in persuading him to surrender, Masahiro rewarded him with the family character of the Tachibana clan that had been wiped out, and at the same time gave him a territory of 100 stone near Tachibana Mountain Castle for his family to settle down. Since then, Lu Ci Kanren (law name Daoxue) has been renamed Tachibana Kanren.
Although even now, Tachibana Michiyuki has not admitted that he has become a retainer of the Luo family on the surface, judging from the fact that he accepted the reward of Masayo, he has already acquiesced to this fact in his heart. In this regard, Zhengliang is not reluctant. In the opinion of Zhengliang. Unless the Otomo family is destroyed. Otherwise, Tachibana Michiyuki would not admit that he was a retainer of the Luo family on the surface. As for whether Tachibana Michiyuki will take the opportunity to escape back to the territory of the Otomo family after being liberated from house arrest and settling in Chikuzen Province. Masahiro is not worried about this at all. Tachibana Michiyuki is a person who pays attention to his faith, and he is also a person who cherishes his family, so he will definitely not take the opportunity to run away by violating his faith and putting his family in danger.
The so-called good news came one after another, not long after Masato took the important city of the Zongxiang family, Xu Feishan City, Asakura Zongdi and others, who pretended to be the reinforcements of the Zongxiang family, also arrived outside the city with the third standing ashigaru team of more than 300 people. After seeing the heads of the Soka clan, the Soka clan, Kurokawa Takasho, Fukada Toshitoshi and others, as well as a large group of Luo family troops who emerged from the hinterland of the Soka family. The entire Cham family, led by the Zhanbu Shoji, really realized the true meaning of Tachibana Michiyuki's persuasion that "the eagle of Hizen must have a back", and a cold sweat could not help but ooze a cold sweat on their foreheads. Thankfully, they made the right choice.
And Asakura Zongdi's side also reported in detail to Masato how they captured the Zongxiang Home City. Everything was according to the plan formulated by Kawada Yoshiro, with the help of some prisoners of the Champbe family, Asakura Soya and others entered the city in disguise as the army of the Sokator family who temporarily returned to Hakuyama Castle, and then when they entered the castle, they cooperated with the sudden killing of Akuta outside the city (because it was too big and its appearance was too different from the locals, so the task of pretending to be naturally could not be carried out by him). can only serve as the task of assaulting the city gate) and others, and quickly attacked the city of Baishan.
After a big war. All the men and retainers of the Zongxiang family in Baishan City were slaughtered by Akuta and others, leaving only the women and children of the city. After completely controlling Hakuyama Castle, at the suggestion of Kawada Yoshiro, Kawada Yoshiro led some of the standing guards who were injured in the fierce battle to stay behind in Hakuyama Castle, and Akuta and Shimahara Junshige led a part of the standing guards to start sweeping the territory near Hakuyama Castle, completely slaughtering the family of the Zongxiang family and the male members of his retainers' families, while Asakura Sodra and Fukuda Nobukiyo led more than 300 reinforcements pretending to be Zongxiang to rush to Xu Fei Mountain Castle to prepare to join forces with Masayo's army outside the city to take Xu Fei Mountain Castle. So I met Zhengliang, who had just entered the city.
After learning that Baishan City had been captured and the Zongxiang family had almost been wiped out, Zhengliang was naturally overjoyed, and then he asked the Zhanbu Shangzhi who was familiar with the Zongxiang family: "Does the deceased Zongxiang clan have a daughter named Seji?" "Now in Baishan City, Zongxiang Shizhen, the only concubine of the Zongxiang clan, has been killed, and the female relatives of the Zongxiang family are still guarded in the city.
"Exactly, the Zongxiang clan does have an unmarried daughter." Hearing Zhengliang's question, Zhanbu Shangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the new lord had taken a fancy to the daughter of the Zongxiang clan, so he quickly replied.
"Hmmm! In that case, now I will make the decision to marry the daughter of this sect to you. Masato then said.
"Huh?" The Shoji of the Ochampo immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh? Aren't you happy with that? I heard that girl is a beauty! Zhengliang's eyes froze, and he immediately asked.
"No, no, Your Majesty thanks the lord for the reward." The ochamph monk also immediately thanked him. As Zhengliang said, the daughter of the Zongxiang family is really a famous beauty in the territory of the Zongxiang family, and he really didn't think that he could get together with this princess of his own family before, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.
"It's best if you're willing. After marrying that girl, you should postpone reporting to the second standing ashigaru team first, or you should first assist the internal affairs cabinet of your family in the territory to take over the lower Munegara County before leaving. Masato nodded and said. Previously, Masarashi had promised a position of Ashigaru Shogun to the Shogun of the Occupation Department, and then let him serve as a lieutenant in Yoshida Shigemasa's second standing Ashigaru team.
"Yes, my lord!" The occupant is still holding the order immediately. If he had been forced to join the Luo family because of the needs of his family's survival, then now he really has a little gratitude to Zhengliang in his heart.
The Shoji of the Chambu felt that he had been favored by Masa-liang, and Masa-liang's side also benefited from it. For the daughter who is about to marry the successor of the clan of the Champa Shangzhi, Zhengliang still has an impression. In history, it was her brother Munzobe Clan Sada, who used her as a tool to marry the Otomo family and the Tachibana family, and married her to Tachibana Michiyuki (at that time, Tachibana Michiyuki was almost sixty years old, but Sehime was in her twenties). Later, because the family secretly defected to the Maori family and was exterminated by the Otomo family, in order to avoid involving her husband's family, the woman finally committed suicide and died.
Now it is naturally unnecessary to marry her to Tachibana Michiyuki, but it is more beneficial for the Luo family to marry her to the Champbu Shangzhi. After the lords of Zongxiang County saw that the former ministers of the Zongxiang family had not only been reused, but also that the princess of the previous lord had been properly settled, it was naturally easier for them to accept the rule of the Luo family. If the Cabinet deliberately makes use of the role of the Champ family in the local area, then it will be able to quickly take over the newly occupied territory.
