Chapter 303 Matsuura Raiders (1)
After the Omura family, Saigo family, Goto family and the Uematsuura family destroyed the Hirado Matsuura family, the entire Matsuura county is currently divided by six wealthy families. Among them, the Luo family alone occupies half of Matsuura county, and the remaining half of Matsuura county is divided by the rest.
In 1541, March of the tenth year of the tenth year of the Astronomy, it was the busy season for farming, and all the powerful men stopped working on farming.
In the meeting hall of Kishigaki Castle, Kakuma Ishisou, Akaba Nobusuke, Togo Heiji, and Osaikura, these important officials of the Luo family gathered together.
"I want to take Matsuura County all of them. I wonder what kind of strategy you think is appropriate?" Masayoro said calmly, sitting on the main seat.
Kakukuma Shisong and Akaba Nobusuke were calm, as if they had expected Masaru to prepare to make the remaining half of Matsuura County. Togo Heiji and Osaki Kyuji looked at each other with a look that way. They were suddenly summoned from No Takayama to Kishigaki Castle. Along the way, they thought something big had happened, but now they heard Masaru's words and realized the real purpose of this trip.
"Shizong tell me what you think?" Seeing that the retainers did not speak for a while, Masara looked at Kaorukuma Shisong and said. Since he was forced to join the Luo family, many retainers have secretly discussed it privately, and even suspected that Kaoruma Shisong's ability was not qualified for the position of military advisor. As the person involved, Kaoruma Shisong was angry with Masara's rogue means, although he became a retainer of the Luo family for the sake of his family's safety, he deliberately did not reveal it, which further deepened the suspicion of the retainers.
After learning about the discussions of the retainers, Masara went to Kaorukuma Ishisen's residence and had a long talk with him. The two finally resolved their past grudges. Kaorukuma Ishisen was also determined to help Masara to strengthen the Luo family.
Now when Kakukuma Shisong heard Masarara's advice, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, this time I have three benefits to Matsuura County, but two are not good for the other party."
"Oh? What is the three benefits? And what is the two disadvantages?" Masarara asked. The other retainers also looked at Kakukuma Shisou in confusion.
"One is Dayu. Your Highness has already established the orphans of the Hirado Matsuura clan as a side room at the beginning of the year. Now he is the real son-in-law of the Hirado Matsuura clan. He has enough Daisuke to inherit the territory of the Herado Matsuura clan. This time, my family is famous for their successors," said Kakuma Ishisect slowly.
"Why the second advantage?" Zhengliang continued to ask.
"The second is the Luo family of our family, which is a regular team, and does not need to be influenced by Chun Geng. Moreover, the ministers carefully observed the methods of recruiting new recruits for Your Highness, and were very impressed. I believe that after more than three months of training, these recruiting recruits will definitely be able to exert their combat power under the leadership of the original recruits."
"Third is the most important time for tillage at this moment, and all the powerful are busy tillage. I certainly would not have expected that our family would launch a sudden attack." Kakukuma Shisen said three favorable places.
"So what's wrong with the Omura family for the Uematsuura clan?" Masara continued to ask after hearing the three benefits of Kakukuma Ishisong.
"Yi Li is in the busy farming season at this moment. I believe these powerful people are busy farming. Because there are too many territories, the permanent troops are concentrated in the main important locations. Therefore, there must be not many guards left at various forts, which can be said to be an internal emptiness. Second, the other party has occupied the territory of the Hirado Matsuura clan for less than a few months, and the territory has not yet been completely settled," said Kakuma Shisou.
"Yes" Masara nodded after hearing this, expressing agreement. Then he looked at another military advisor Nobunosuke Akaba.
The latter slapped the red feather fan in his hand, and then pondered: "Your Highness, I dare to ask, what kind of result does Your Highness want this time?"
"Of course, I took down Matsuura County in one fell swoop," Masayora said boldly.
"Since that's the case, then I must be fully prepared. First, I need to ensure the stability of my territory. Secondly, I need to understand the other party's current situation first, and then we will make plans," said Nobunosuke Akaba.
"This is reasonable," Zhengliang nodded, "Hingchi, can the territory support this battle? Note that this battle may last for several months." Before sending troops to attack others, you must first ensure the safety of your territory and sufficient logistics.
"Your Highness, under the promotion of new laws, the territory has been completely settled. Public security incidents have also decreased sharply. If Your Highness issues a mobilization order at this moment, the subordinates think that not only the original territory of our country would actively sign up, but even the newly occupied territory would be like this." Dongxiang Heiji immediately reported, "As for military equipment, the forging workshop of the territory has been repaired for almost all the weapons of our family during this period, and the weapons can fully support this battle; in terms of military food, after the last two months of continuous purchase of grain from the Shenwu family, the military food of our family has increased to 8,000 stones, but the Shenwu family has sent a message that due to the continuous purchase of grain during this period and the entry of the chun season, it is difficult to prepare food for our family again. At least it will have to wait until the autumn harvest to restore the supply of food; special grains such as cured meat can also be used for the army to eat for two consecutive months."
"Very good," Zhengliang praised after hearing this, "Since the coins obtained from the exchange with the Kanwu family and Yutian Nobuka can no longer buy food, then let them focus on helping their family to purchase war horses. If there are insufficient war horses, ordinary war horses can also be used." Zhengliang has been planning to build a horse riding team, but due to the insufficient war horses in the territory, he has not been able to do what he wants. Now he just makes up his mind to spend a lot of money to buy horses.
"Previously mobilize a transport team of 100 peasant soldiers, organize it in the form of paid corvee labor," said Zhengliang. "It is specifically responsible for the logistics of this battle. Be careful that each family only allows one male to participate, so as not to affect the chun farming in the territory."
"Yes, Your Highness" Heiji Togo took the order.
"What has the situation of the other party changed recently?" After ordering Heiji Togo, Masara looked at Osaki Kōji, who was responsible for the collection of information.
"Your Highness, the other party's soldiers have not changed any abnormally recently. Almost all of them are tillage. Most of the guards and the samurai samurai have returned to their own fields to cultivate." Osaki Kyuji immediately reported, "But recently, the rebellious team of the Heido Matsuura family led by Yasukata Yasukata has been causing trouble in several territories, which has caused headaches for several powerful people." Yasukata Yasukata was the father of Yasukata Yasukata who was besieged by the coalition forces. He had retired, but when the main family was destroyed and his only son died in battle, he resolutely organized dozens of loyalists loyal to the Hido Matsuura family to become bandits and make trouble for several powerful people everywhere.
