Kagoshima, the Rokukoku Island in the north of Japan.
The mansion of the Oe family.
"Baga! It must be those bastards from the Ueda family who pretended to be other people and kidnapped the daimyo. We must gather all our strength to attack the Ueda family and rescue the daimyo!"
"My dear, at that time many people saw with their own eyes that the people who abducted the daimyo came from the sea!"
"What's so difficult about this? The Ueda family must have used a random boat to pretend to be someone else, and the daimyo may be in their hands now.
Little Lord! Please give the order to immediately gather all the strength of the family and launch a war against the Ueda family! "
"My dear, do you understand what it means to start a war?
This means that we have to fight desperately to keep up with the Tian family. Now that the name is missing, our Jiang family is already in a precarious situation, just like a wooden boat in the sea that may capsize at any time. How can we be motivated? "
"As for the daimyo being abducted by the Ueda family, it is absolutely impossible, because even the daimyo of the Ueda family were kidnapped all at once. The Tian family's situation is similar to that of us, so it is absolutely impossible to be them!"
"Bagayalu! How can you be sure?
What if this is just a ploy by them to confuse us? "
"This can't be a trick!"
At the family meeting of the Oe family, the Oe family and the old retainers of the Oe family, who held two opinions, had a fierce quarrel over the whereabouts of the daimyo.
The younger generation of retainers believe that the daimyo must have really been kidnapped by external forces. The Oe family is now on the verge of danger and must proceed with caution.
But the older generation of family members believed that this must be caused by the Ueda family, which had been their rivals for generations, and that only by defeating the Ueda family could the daimyo be saved.
The two sides were arguing fiercely, and no one could convince the other.
Oe Yuki's only legitimate son, Oe Noboru, knelt down quietly and sat in his senior position, silently watching the family members divided into two groups and arguing non-stop, without speaking.
When both sides were almost about to start fighting, they suddenly said: "That's enough! Please be quiet, gentlemen!"
As soon as the young master spoke, the two groups who were noisy just now fell silent instantly.
They all looked at the young master of the family who was sitting at the top.
Da Jiangsheng took a deep breath and then said to everyone:
"It is important who captured my father, but please don't ignore the situation our Ojiang family is facing now.
The disappearance of my father has left the entire Ojiang family without its backbone. In that battle, my father even took half of our samurai from the Ojiang family with him.
Now not only was there no victory, but the samurai including his father were also dead and injured.
External countries are already eyeing Kagoshima. The most important thing you should do now is to think about how to get the Oe family out of this predicament and successfully maintain the current family territory! "
"Hi!"
After everyone heard this, they all lowered their heads and looked ashamed.
As worthy of being the heir to the daimyo, while they were still arguing about the whereabouts of the daimyo, he had already keenly sensed the crisis that the Oe family was encountering and clearly distinguished the priorities.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Ojiang Sheng sighed, then waved his hand and said: "Sachiko, please tell everyone the information received."
"Hi! Master!"
Standing behind Ojiang Sheng was a maid who was wearing a kimono and had a beautiful appearance, and the valley in front of her was unfathomable. She immediately stepped forward and began to tell the information.
I received news three days ago that except for Kagoshima, the other daimyo of Miyazaki Territory, Oita Territory, Kumamoto Territory, and Fukuoka Territory on Rikoku Island have begun to recruit soldiers on a large scale, and at the same time, they have also begun to forge weapons in their territories.
According to the family's intelligence channels, there is only one reason for their abnormal actions, that is, they are eyeing Kagoshima and decided to carve up Kagoshima while Kagoshima lost its name.
According to the news received so far, when these daimyo launch an attack, the entire Kagoshima will probably be attacked by an army of close to tens of thousands of people.
With our strength in Kagoshima, we simply cannot stop him!
There is a huge possibility of being annexed by them!
Now, the family has reached a situation of life and death!
"Wow!"
As soon as this information came out, everyone in the Ojiang family was frightened. An army of 10,000 people!
How many people do they have in the entire Kagoshima?
The total number of people on the entire island does not exceed 3,000!
There is no need to count the remaining small villages at all, and their combined population will not exceed 4,000.
Facing the invasion of external countries, they simply could not resist it.
Everyone is panicking!
But Da Jiang Sheng's expression remained calm.
Looking at the panicked retainers and clan members, he coughed slightly, and everyone immediately looked over.
Da Jiang Sheng then said: "You all know the current situation. Facing the invasion of external countries, our Da Jiang family's strength cannot resist it at all.
But it is absolutely impossible for us to raise our hands and give up resistance and give up the territory of the Ojiang family! "
"Yes! You must not let him out!"
"The worst we can do is fight with them! If they want our Dajiang family's land, let them step on our corpses to get it!"
All the clan members shouted excitedly.
Dajiang raised his pressure and asked everyone to calm down before Shui continued: "In order to prevent the invasion of local countries from outside, I got in touch with Tian Ping, the young master of the Tian family. The two of us made an agreement to join forces and decided to Let’s resist the invasion of external countries together and protect our existing territory.”
"What?!"
Dajiang Sheng's words seemed like a bolt from the blue, which stunned many of the Dajiang family members and retainers present!
Join forces with the Tian family?
How can this be?
The two families have never joined forces since they settled in Kagoshima, and now they are asked to join forces. They cannot accept the news.
Seeing everyone's expressions, it was reasonable for Da Jiang Sheng not to show any surprise. He was already prepared for their reaction.
He continued: "In the face of the family's survival and the grievances of past generations, I chose the family.
I hope everyone can recognize it! "
He fell silent immediately after hearing this.
Yes, the situation we are facing now is that the family is almost gone.
The grievances of several generations are nothing. In the face of the continued prosperity of the family, everything is worth mentioning.
Facing tens of thousands of people who may arrive, if they don't join forces with the Tian family, their strength alone will never be the opponent of other countries.
They stopped exclaiming, stopped talking, and acquiesced to this matter.
Dajiang Sheng looked at the current situation with satisfaction, and when he was about to tell everyone what the family wanted to prepare, someone suddenly came to report that someone from outside the family came with a letter from the daimyo, asking to see the young master!
Everyone was shocked. A letter from the Daimyo?
Wasn't the daimyo kidnapped?
Could it be a ransom note from a kidnapper?
Everyone did not dare to neglect, and quickly walked out the door under the leadership of Da Jiang Sheng.
At this time, outside the Ojiang family's mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with a golden cloud pattern embroidered on his chest was quietly standing in front of the Ojiang family's mansion with his hands behind his back, making him extremely conspicuous.
Because of his height of over 1.7 meters, he looked unusually inconsistent and obvious among the surrounding dwarf radishes.
After waiting for just a quarter of an hour, Da Jiang Sheng finally arrived in front of the middle-aged man.
"Who are you? Why do you have a letter from Father?"
Dajiang Sheng said, holding up the letter of certification that his servant just gave him. That note was indeed written by his father!
But why was it sent by this person who was obviously not from Japan?
