At the behest of Kuroda Vocational High School, the Kuroda family's army was split into two. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoOne of them, led by Mamoru Ando as the commander-in-chief, numbered 11,000 people, entered Uma County in Iyo Province along the streets of Sano Street, which connects Sanki Province and Iyo Province.

"Brother, this road is really not easy to walk!" Kogawa Shinsho said to his brother Kogawa Yoshitoshi beside him.

This is the first time since Kogawa Nobunaki Motofu that he fought abroad as a samurai of the Kuroda family, and it can be regarded as his first battle. So since he was assigned to guard Xiangxi City with Xiaohe Liangli, the little guy kept asking questions about Xiaohe Liangli, just like a curious baby.

"The path to the realm of the family is formed after consuming a lot of manpower and material resources in the family, and not every family is willing to do this. Now there is a way to march, and you are content. Also, you don't ask more questions, move forward quickly, but don't delay the speed of the march! Kogawa said.

"Hey! Brother, I know, I will never drag the army down. Brother, did you say that the Kono family has a samurai? Kogawa Shinsho asked Kogawa again.

"I don't know." Xiaohe Liangli said depressedly, and then continued to walk forward.

"Hey! Brother, wait for me! Do you say that the Kono family's water army is powerful? I heard that there is a water army as powerful as Takeyoshi Murakami and Yoshiyo Murakami! Kogawa Shinsho immediately chased after him.

It's time to find a wife for this kid! Kogawa Liangli thought melancholy.

When Ando Mamoru entered Uma County in Iyo Province, it represented the power of the Kuroda family, and it had entered the Kono family, because the lord of this place was Kono Iyomori Tochi.

Kono Iyomori is the last head of the Kono clan, the daimyo of Iyo Province, and inherits the position of guardian of Iyo Province, and is the son of Kono Tsuyoshi, a branch of the Kono clan. For Kono Tongnao, there are actually rumors about Murakami's son, but given the relationship between Kono's retainer and Murakami, this rumor is not credible.

Because the head of the previous generation, Kono Sakyo Daifu Tsunobu, did not have a son-in-law, so Kono Iyo Mamoru Nao was adopted as an adopted heir, and in the 11th year of Eiroku (1568 AD), that is, before the Kuroda family attacked Shikoku, he inherited the name of Iyo Province as the guardian of the Kono family.

Historically, Kono Iyo was straight, and he inherited the position of the governor of the Kono family at a young age. The evaluation of him in the history books is that Kono Tsunao was a very generous-hearted samurai back then, and he was also outstanding in morality, and there are many related good stories.

At that time, Naoyuki Ohno, a wealthy clan under the command of the Kono family, privately communicated with the Nagazong family, and launched a rebellion against the Kono family, after his surrender, Kono Naoyuki was still able to treat him sincerely, which allowed Naoyuki Ohno to sincerely return to the Kono family again.

With the decline of the Kono clan, the Otomo clan, the Ichijo clan, the Chosho Ibe clan, and even the surrounding Utsunomiya and Saionji clans are eyeing the Kono clan. And there was a rebellion of Naoyuki Ohno in the family, and it can be said that the Kono family at this time was very difficult. It was only through reinforcements from the Maori family that they were able to maintain their independence.

With the beginning of the monkey attack on Shikoku, the Kono family had extremely different opinions on whether to resist or defend the monkey's attack, and in the end, Yuzuki Castle, who was unable to make a decision, could only face the monkey army to cage the castle.

After that, Kobayakawa Takakei, who was already under the command of the monkey and was the big backer of the Kono family, personally went out to persuade Yuzuki Castle, which had been besieged for more than a month, to surrender. It is said that when Kobayakawa Takakei entered Yuzuki Castle, the Kono family, with 45 retainers who dared to die, took the initiative to ambush in the castle tower, preparing to take the opportunity to kill Kobayakawa.

But when he met Kono Shunao, Kobayakawa had already discovered these dead soldiers. If you think about what kind of person Kobayakawa Takakei is, he is one of the heirs of the mantle who inherited the mantle of Maori Yuan's certain ability, and he is also a big man who has seen the world, and this little trick of the Kono family is not in his eyes.

In the face of Kono Tongnao, Kobayakawa not only did not have any panic, but also calmly analyzed the situation at the time, and vouched for his own life to persuade the monkey to close the white and save the lives of the Kono family. As a result, the Kono family did nothing unfavorable to Kobayakawa and, under his persuasion, submitted to the monkeys. This anecdote is still carved on the stone tablet of the ruins of Tang Zhucheng for future generations to read.

In the end, in order to survive, Kono accepted the condition that the territory would be confiscated, and Iyo guarded the destruction of the Kono clan.

In the 15th year of Tensho (1587), Kono Tsunao died of illness in Takehara in the Kobayakawa Takakei domain, and the stone carvings of Kobayakawa Takakei's tomb are still preserved in the area. And as the child of Shindo Motohide, who was welcomed to the Kono family as an adopted son, Kono Rail inherited the family business of the Kono family, an empty shelf that has no real name.

After the Kono family received the news of the arrival of the Kuroda family, Kono Tsunao immediately gathered everyone in the family and came to Yuzuki Castle to discuss the matter. It's just that what Kono didn't expect was that, just like in history when the Monkey Shikoku was conquered, the people of the Kono family were divided into several factions, and they did not agree on how to face the military situation of the Kuroda family, and in the debate of the family, no result was reached in the end.

And when the Kuroda family's Shikoku attack began, the Kono family was still attacking the Utsunomiya family's Iyo-gun. Because the Kuroda family's army arrived, the Kono family was forced to withdraw their army in case of a possible attack by the Kuroda family.

Speaking of which, the Kono family is in this situation because of one person, Kono Toyasu, or called coming to Toyasu and Murakami Toyasu.

The main room of Murakami Toyasu was the former head of the Kono family, Kono Danmasa, Shaobi Mitsunao (not the last to be the head of Kono Iyomori Minao), so he often sent troops to assist the Kono family in battles. Iyo Province is long and narrow by the sea, and the role of the naval army is very large, as mentioned before, the Kono family is in the realm of Shikoku at this time, and it is embattled.

Murakami Toyasu's coming to the water army,It was originally a relatively large,Large,Powerful combat effectiveness of the water army,After rescuing the Kono family in danger several times,Kono Danzheng Shaobi Tongzhi was grateful to him.,Even planned to give up the Kono family governor to the island of Toyasu.。

This attracted strong opposition from important ministers such as Imaoka, Tono, Doi, and Heiko, and eventually evolved into a coup d'état by many retainers who supported Kono's division of the clan to the prefecture.
