Chapter Forty-Seven: Deceit
It's just that for the current Shimazu family, such land is definitely not what the Shimazu family wants. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info has been on for the time being (at least the Shimazu family themselves think) to go to the land of Satsuma, and they want a fertile land more.
At the same time, too much mountainous terrain is not without any benefits, for example, after there are too many mountains, the mountainous and low mountain terrain with ravines and ravines is naturally conducive to defense. If we set up more obstacles in the mountains, and arrange more outposts and small galleys in the key places, as long as we can form a three-dimensional defense system, it will inevitably play a good role in defense.
Based on the psychology of prevention, Sagara Yoshiyo prescribed these conditions, in fact, the unanimous opinion of the other four families of the Southern Kyushu Coalition except for the Shimazu family. The four families are more or less afraid of the Shimazu family, especially the Ito family, who has been beaten by the Shimazu family, if it is not a matter of their own survival, this time Ito Yoshisuke is not even ready to bring a large army here.
On the surface, the four daimyo are indeed very harsh on the conditions proposed by the Shimazu family, and they are obviously restricting the development of the Shimazu family, but in the end, the Shimazu family still seems very embarrassed to agree.
In Sagara Yoshiyo's opinion, as long as the development of the Shimazu family can be curbed in terms of land, whether they win or lose the battle with the Kuroda family in the future, at least the threat of the Shimazu family will be removed.
Sagara Yoshiyo had a perfect idea, but when he was thinking about the problem, he still made a very serious mistake. Is this so-called treaty useful for the Shimazu family?
I can tell you very responsibly, I'm sorry, this so-called agreement has no effect on the Shimazu family, and the Shimazu family has been able to exist since the Kamakura shogunate, not because of the spirit of bushido.
In fact, Shimazu Yoshihisa himself felt funny in his heart, and when he agreed to the conditions proposed by Sagara Yoshiyo on the surface, it was like dead Shimazu Takahisa, although the old man was indeed dead. But in fact, he himself has no resistance to these terms, after all, he is not ready to abide by them, so what is it sad about, if there is an Oscar in the Warring States period, Shimazu Yoshihisa's current acting skills can at least get a nomination for Best Actor.
The only criterion that the Shimazu family believes in is to live well, as long as they can live, as long as they can live better, what allies, what treaties, in the eyes of the Shimazu family, are worthless.
As long as the Kuroda family can be defeated, the first thing the Shimazu family will probably do is to settle accounts with these families who dare to put forward conditions, so it is said that Sagara Yoshiyo is too simple, at least the Shimazu family should not be regarded as an ordinary Warring States daimyo. Tricking and calculating each other is the main theme of this troubled world!
Regardless of what the Shimazu family thinks, or what the other families think, this ostensible land cession treaty has involved most of the southern Kyushu daimyo together, and has temporarily formed a large force enough to confront the Kuroda family.
At this time, the Kuroda family, in addition to a small number of a few hundred soldiers who remained behind, crossed Takachiho Naga and lined up in the direction of the Hinata country side of Mt. Takachiho, ready to meet the attack of the Southern Kyushu coalition at any time.
"Hanbei, this time 18,000 people from Southern Kyushu came, it seems that it is not easy to deal with!"
"Hey! My lord, this 18,000 people is indeed an opponent that we must face with all our might, and according to the information of the Shimazu family, there are more than 500 iron guns in the ranks of the Shimazu family (including Shimazu Yoshitora), which will be a great threat to us. The Aso family has 300 cavalry in the coalition army, and this force is likely to be in a stalemate on the battlefield, as a surprise soldier on the side of the coalition army, it will also become the object of our attention, Sagara Yoshiyo's Marume family is a kendo family, and its 100 Tai sword guards are the biggest killer of the Sagara family galloping south Kyushu, and its head Marume Semei is said to be a quasi-swordsman's high-level strength, even if Lord Takeuchi Kukatsu seems to be ......"
"Mibu-sama, Takeuchi-sama, please." Imate said at this time.
After Iate finished speaking, the Mibu Kyomata Shiro brothers, Takeuchi Hisamori, and Takeuchi Goro Uemon walked in together and saluted the two.
"The three adults were able to come, but this time they helped me solve a big heart problem!" Shigeharu Takenaka said excitedly.
"We'll do our best." Mibu Kyo Matashiro said.
"It's just a pity that Lord Katayama didn't come, otherwise the three swordsmen, plus the three quasi-swordsmen, what a rare thing to see!"
At this time, Shigeharu Takenaka suddenly looked at Itetomo, and said with a smile: "My lord is also a samurai with the strength of a swordsman, and now he is still a swordsman!" ”
"Hahaha!!" Ite Yuji laughed, he was most proud of his martial arts.
"Two adults, this time it's not just me who is coming, but the disciple Nigami Masatoshi has come with one hundred and fifty outstanding disciples under the master's behest, this time I want to see if his Marume family's sword team is powerful, or my Takeuchi family's sword team is powerful. In addition, Miyamoto Takeno-sama and Koreyoshi-sama were also sent over. ”
"Oh! The two of them! Okay, good, good, even if you face the Marumme family Taidao team head-on this time, you don't need to be afraid at all. Imate said.
The Kuroda family is now equivalent to two more samurai with the strength of swordsmen and six samurai with the strength of quasi-swordsmen at once, and on the battlefield, even if it is just such combat power, it can almost suppress the so-called Taidao team of the Marume family.
"Then how should we deal with the iron artillery team of the Shimazu family and the horse team of the Aso family?" Imate Yuji asked, he was good at leading his troops to fight, not giving advice, so at this time, he naturally looked at Shigeharu Takenaka.
"My lord, the iron cannon team of the Shimazu family, the iron cannon used by it is not very advanced, and compared with the gunners of the Shimazu family, it has a great disadvantage in terms of range and power, which is our advantage. Therefore, in the face of the Shimazu family's iron artillery team, we only need to fight them with a comparable number of firearms and crossbows
The family has a firearm team of 800 people, and a crossbowfoot light team of 700 people, even if it's just a crossbowfoot light team, it's not comparable to the Shimazu family's iron artillery team, so as long as we deal with it carefully. ”
