After the head of Chozong and my department decided on a major policy, he was not prepared to pin all his hopes on diplomacy. www.biquge.info The current Changzong and my head are still a young man with top ambitions, and it is the time when the spirit is high, and the compromise also depends on the situation.

The entire Chozong family has begun the largest mobilization of the entire clan in the territory, and its maximum mobilization is currently six thousand, which is already the limit of the Chozong family, but in the face of a behemoth like the Kuroda family, it is impossible for the Chozong family to be careless.

The envoy sent by the Chosho family this time was Takimoto Temple, who was sent to the Kuroda family as the royal diplomatic monk of the head of the head of the

The first task assigned to Takimoto Temple by the head of the sect is to test the bottom line of the Kuroda family, and the second is to check the military situation of the Kuroda family, including the actual number of the Kuroda family's army, the equipment situation, the supply of grain and grass, and so on. He doesn't do this work for a day or two, and he knows exactly what he wants to do and how to do it.

When Takimoto Temple came to Katsurui Castle, especially when he was outside the castle and was ready to wait to enter the castle. He stopped thinking about his tasks all the time, for example, he deliberately paid attention to the situation of the Kuroda family's camp, he was born in the Tosahao clan, and he was a son of the important minister of the Nagasato family, so he was no stranger to marching and arranging. Just a simple glance at the camp, its approximate size is counted, this camp is as many as 10,000 people, just these numbers show that the Kuroda family is indeed strong!

He also paid attention to the supply of grain and grass to the Kuroda family from a distance, and the piles in the camp were all small mountains of grain, which made Takimoto Temple feel incredible. At least the Kuroda family will not have a problem with food and grass in the short term, and this is the most troublesome. As long as Kuroda's family has enough food and grass, he will not let go of Tosa Province easily, this is his understanding. For the Changzong family, this situation is very unfavorable.

Takimoto Temple was soon brought into the castle, and then he was brought to a special ministry house in Ninomaru, waiting for Kuroda to be summoned outside the castle tower.

A young warrior then came to him: "This must be the non-existent master of the Changzong family, please go down and meet the young master!" ”

"It's down there, I don't know what to call this adult!" Takimoto Temple asked.

"Lord Hui, in Shimochesturi Mountain, he is the guard of the young master, so please go to the castle tower with the master! It's not good to keep the young lord waiting. The young samurai said with a smile.

"What Kuriyama-sama said is, take me to Kuroda-sama quickly!" Takimoto Temple said with a smile.

"This way, please." Kuriyama Riyan made a gesture of please to Takimoto Temple.

"Hey! I caused a burden to Kuriyama-sama. ”

"The master is polite, this is a matter within the next division." Riyan Kuriyama said seriously.

Takimoto Temple bowed to Kuriyama Ri'an, which was regarded as a thank you to him, and then followed him to Honmaru.

In the large room on the first floor of the castle tower of Katsurui Castle, more than a dozen samurai of the Kuroda family were already sitting on the left and right, all of them in armor, looking mighty. Kuroda Vocational High School, the main seat in the middle, was already sitting on it, looking straight at Takimoto Temple Fei who came in.

Takimoto Temple is actually a young man himself, and he has already secretly glanced at Kuroda Vocational High School when he entered the Great Hiroma, but in the feeling of this glance, Kuroda Vocational High School is a tall, handsome but sharp peer, with clear and wise eyes, and there is not much other feeling. However, the distinctive armor and belly rolls of the samurai on both sides made him even more interested.

"Foreign Minister Takimoto Temple, I have met Lord Kuroda Minbu, and I have seen all the adults of the Kuroda family." Takimoto Temple is not in the middle of the position, and he bowed to everyone and said loudly.

Kuroda looked at his peers who were kneeling in the middle, neither humble nor arrogant, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "If there is no master here, I don't know why!" ”

In fact, Takimoto Temple has no intention, Kuroda Vocational High School has already known about it, but he just asked knowingly.

"I came here this time, but I came on behalf of the lord of the family......" Takimoto Temple did not bow, and bowed his head, and said respectfully on the surface.

Why is he superficially respectful? Because here, Takimoto Temple paused deliberately, originally he wanted Kuroda Vocational High School to explain the conditions for surrender first, and he felt that this would be more beneficial to the Nagamune family.

But he was wrong, who is Kuroda Vocational High School? It's a rare smart person in the world, and Takimoto Temple has no careful eyes to hide his eyes. In the face of the self-proclaimed smart Takimoto Temple, Kuroda Vocational High School didn't say a word at all, just looked at him with a smile.

Takimoto Temple didn't see Kuroda's performance, he knew that his mind had been guessed by him, and cold sweat broke out on his head unconsciously.

"The lord of the family came down to ask what kind of conditions he must accept if the family submits to the Kuroda family."

"Then master, do you mean to say that the Changzong family doesn't want to submit to the Kuroda family now, it's just because the family is powerful, so they want to see if they can keep their power at the lowest cost, right?" Kuroda asked coldly.

"This ...... Don't dare to deceive Kuroda Minbu, it's true. Takimoto said with a nod.

"Hmmm! You're very honest! Kuroda nodded.

"Lord Naminbu, the conditions of this family ......," Takimoto Temple said tentatively.

"Changzong's family currently owns the land of 120,000 stone in Higashitosa, but it can mobilize 6,000 troops, which is indeed very powerful! Since the Nagazong family wants to know the conditions, he transferred 15,000 stone to Yoshino County in Misaku Province as the command of the Miki family. Kuroda said with some unhappiness.

It stands to reason that the mobilization power of the Changzong family should be around 3,000 people. However, Changzong has a special system for my family, that is, "one collar is sufficient", and this terrifying amount of troops is realized under this system.

The first collar is the military service system of the Chosō clan of the Japanese Natsakoku Chosō Ibu clan, and it was created by the Nagamune Ibu clan with reference to the ideas of his retainer Yoshida Shutaka. It is a kind of military service system that is half peasant and half soldier. According to Article 24 of the "100 Articles of the Heads of Chomune Ibu", anyone who owns more than three towns (about three hectares) of land must prepare a pair of armor for each household, and must wear armor to fight in wartime for farming and livelihood.
