Seeing that Hirado and the other two made a decision, Ikeda Huimasa sighed slightly in his heart and said his conditions with a hint of embarrassment.

Matsupan Jiamu and Yone Kurakura were both stunned, and then they looked at each other. Matsupan Jiamu gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, please rest assured, as long as I am discussing the matter of reversal, I will summon Tianchuan and others to discuss matters, and then control the situation with my five hundred elite soldiers. Afterwards, I will give Ikeda Fan two hundred Daming muskets, one thousand spears, and three hundred spears! Fifty pairs of iron armor!

My nephew can now make a document!”

In order to save his life and keep his future glory and wealth, Songpan Jiamu also invested heavily.

Over the past year, in accordance with the instructions of the cabinet, the Zheng family fleet sent three batches of ordnance to Jiuzhou Island. Among these three batches of ordnance, a total of 1,200 muskets were sent.

When Matsupan Jiro was alive, he went out with 300 shots, and Hirado's family got 900 shots alone. If the damage was made, the Hirado's family's iron artillery team had about 700 shots left. This time, Matsupan's family was willing to take out nearly 30% of them at a time to give them to Ikeda's family, which surprised Ikeda Fukumasa, who knew the Hirado's family's family.

"There is no need to establish a document. You and I have a family as a family, how can I not believe you?

Let’s act according to the plan Ikiki Jun just now. At noon tomorrow, I will send someone to invite Takawa and others to the banquet. I guess Takawa and the others will not take any action tonight. In order not to alert the enemy, Kikawa and Yonekura, both of them will still have to go back to their residence to rest!

I will arrange the staff tomorrow morning to start the arrangement, so I can rest assured!”

Ikeda Huomasa's words made Matsupan Jiamu feel relieved. Then he took his men to leave and secretly returned to his residence. Takawa Yuhuang and others did not expect anyone to report it. In addition, they were not fully prepared, so although Matsupan Jiro arranged dozens of samurai under him to strengthen his defense, he was safe that night.

At around 10 o'clock the next morning, Takawa Yuhuang and others who were discussing when to take down the Matsupan Family, suddenly received a message from the Ikeda Fan that Ikeda Fukasaki had invited several people to his residence at noon to discuss the next action plan. After a brief discussion, he took a few samurai and others to the Ikeda Fan army base several miles apart. Yonekura, who pretended to be nothing, also took his men to go there.

Twenty days have passed since the assassination of Jiro Matsupan. Because Matsupan's family lacks sufficient prestige, the position of the leader of the alliance is still in the Hirado clan, but in fact, most of the other daimyos tend to take over the position of the older Ikeda Hiromasa.

Although Takawa Yuhuang had a high prestige in the Hirado clan, his identity was just a retainer after all, and the destruction he planned must be supported by Hiromasa Ikeda. So when he heard the convening of the Ikeda helmsman, Takawa Yuhuang and others who had already prepared to reach an understanding with the other party, went happily, but what they never expected was that what was waiting for them was an unsolvable death.

The Takawa Yuhuang and others who arrived at the residence of Hiromasa Ikeda did not see the real master. Just as they were taken to the house to wait, the samurai brought by each of them had been disarmed by the elite Ikeda clan. Then more than a dozen trusted samurai warriors of Matsupan Jiamu suddenly rushed into the room with long swords. After a while, the defenseless Takawa Yuhuang, Maeya Kihiro and several other Hirado clan retainers were all killed.

Immediately afterwards, Matsupan Jiamu and Yonekura led a thousand elite samurai borrowed from the Ikeda clan to clean up the confidants of Takawa Yuhuang and others. In just half a day, more than 200 people in the Hirado clan were executed, including many middle-level generals with strong abilities. This internal strife greatly reduced the strength of the Hirado clan.

Matsupan Jiamu then appointed Yonekura to be the chief retainer of the Hirado clan, and arranged for his own chief guard to take over the sharpest iron artillery team, and asked the entire army to gather and swear allegiance to him.

When the news of the internal strife of Hirado clan spread, while other daimyos were shocked, they also had different thoughts.

First, Yamauchi's Daimai Yamauchi's family, Naikoya, brought his 1,800 samurai back to the territory on the grounds that someone was causing trouble in the territory. A few days later, Fujido also found an excuse to return with his troops, and the next one was Matsuura. In just ten days, the coalition troops left in the area of ​​Monshigang to defend the shogunate, the Hirado family, the Ikeda family and Ito family, with only less than 8,000 people.

These foreign daimyos suddenly returned to their territory in order to quickly go back and grab money, grain and territory.

They saw that under the current situation, neither Hirado nor Ikeda's wife dared to leave Monsitor, otherwise the shogunate army would have made a comeback through the Guanmen Strait.

Before, Jiro Matsupan had a certain deterrence and binding force on them when he was still alive. Now, the strength of Hirado family has been greatly reduced after the internal strife. In addition, Matsupan Jiamu has no prestige, so Yamauchi Koya and others felt that it was time to go back and share the fruits of victory.

After defeating the shogunate army several times, the coalition forces captured many prisoners. In order to maintain the loyalty of their own team, neither Matsupan Jiro nor Ikeda Hiromasaki did to incorporate these prisoners into their own command, but generously distributed them to several other daimyos, which made Yamauchi Koya and others' strength increase a lot in a short period of time.

In order to gain allegiance from these prisoners, Yamauchi Koya and others decided to lead the team home and share the land, wealth and women owned by the genealogy Dai Ming on Kyushu Island that were defeated to the samurai.

It is also a field, but there are also differences between Ueda and Shimoda. Of course, whoever grabs the good things first is who belongs to it. As long as you are strong enough, Ikeda will not dare to turn against you. The shogunate army on the other side has never stopped landing on Kyushu Island.

It is precisely based on the selfish activities of these foreign daimyos that the reverse alliance, which was established less than a year ago, is on the verge of collapse.

Faced with the current situation, Ikeda Hiromasa has no choice.

Yamauchi Koya and others did pinch his fatal hole. Now these eight thousand people dared not move at all. Even if they moved, they would not dare to go back to fight with Yamauchi Koya and others. In the end, they had no choice but to arrange their respective trusted retainers to return to the southwest with some people.

If you go back late, you may not even have to drink soup. If you work hard, you will finally make up so many territories. You can’t just get the money for nothing, right?

Somehow, news of the discord within the coalition forces spread to the other side. Not long after, the shogunate launched a military operation.
