Chapter 82: Farewell (I)
"Yes, husband, will. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ozamatsu smiled and nodded.
Ozamatsu is a woman who grew up in the back of the Kuroda family, and she is surrounded by virtuous and virtuous wives like Mrs. Iwa and Ali, which invisibly has a great influence on her. So she knew that she should give her husband more support at this time and strengthen his beliefs.
And it was Kuroda's promise to return to his family after Kuriyama Riyasu's meritorious service, and she knew very well that the young lord valued her husband, which was something that the entire Kuroda family knew before. Therefore, she also has confidence in her husband, he will definitely be able to obtain merits, and finally return to his own family and become an outstanding minister beside the young master.
Kuroda Castle Sannomaru is a tall city gate, where the three Kuroda Toshitaka brothers have been waiting there with their families, and Kuriyama Riyasu is accompanied by the original Takeda Yoshinobu under the command of Yoshinori Hara Hikohara, Shimahara Toranosuke, and Kotani Morihei, and Kuroda Toshitaka They also have their own retainers, samurai and various family members, miscellaneous servants, almost a total of nearly 100 people.
In addition to them, there are actually seven people who went together, including Otani Moriji, Harada Yoshitane, Irita Yoshimi, Irita Qinli, Kosaii Zhennao, Saito Nagami, and Nabeshima Kiyobo, and they definitely wanted to participate in the expedition against Kitakyushu, because they were all natives of Kyushu before, and they still had their own social circles in Kyushu more or less.
Especially people like Harada Yoshizune, who have been the chief palace division and the lord of the castle in one place, have a very big influence. There are also many supporters in the Nabeshima family like Nabeshima Kiyofu, and they are all enough to play a greater role in their own future attack in Kitakyushu than their own ability, which is the role of connections and prestige.
Because when Otani Moriji was in Inaba Province before, he was rewarded by Kuroda Vocational High School to give him all the divisions of several Otani families as retainers, so Otani Moriharu's own team was the largest, with nearly 250 or 60 people, and there were as many as 80 relatives who could fight.
However, the others are a little worse, even after the Kuroda family has been recuperating for so many years, that is, Nabeshima Kiyofu, who took five retainers at the beginning, can now make up more than twenty people, and the others are even less, but they and their families together have nearly four hundred people.
There are also 3,000 elites of the Kuroda family who have lined up not far away, and they will be assigned by the Kuroda family to go to Zhou and Chang, and at the same time, in the subsequent Kyushu expedition, together with Matsui Shigetaka's Zhou and Changguo people, as the vanguard of the army. These people have a characteristic, that is, they are basically crossbow-foot light masters, or the reserve of the iron artillery team, and as long as the Kuroda family can produce more hand crossbows and iron cannons, they will give priority to this army of 3,000 people.
Previously, Kuroda Vocational High School required the workshop area to be able to produce 3,000 improved Ming Guo firearms, in fact, he was also guarding against accidents, if he could not pass on a long-range team of 3,000 people on time, the number of insufficient Ming firearms would be made up by hand crossbows.
The operation of the Ming Kingdom Fire Gun requires two people to complete, which means that this team only needs 1,500 strokes, and the other 1,500 will be handed over to the elite of the Kuroda family, who will later cooperate with the Imate Tomoshi to attack southern Kyushu.
"Ansuke, you're late." Toshinori Kuroda, who likes to joke, said with a smile.
"It's a faux pas that made the three young masters wait for a long time."
"Don't listen to Saburo, he's a troll, and we've just gotten here." Kuroda said with a smile.
"Yes! Don't worry about it at all. Kuroda said.
"Hey! Second and fourth, can you two not always dismantle my stage, it's very embarrassing! But Ansuke, you really don't care at all, I just said it casually. Kuroda said with some embarrassment.
The three of them actually saw the depressed mood in Kuriyama Riyan's eyes, so there was such a conversation, they actually entered the training class at about the same time, so the relationship between them was still very good.
At this time, Kuriyama Riyan and they were all dressed in military uniforms, except for Kuriyama Riyan, who used spears, the Kuroda brothers all used knives since childhood. The four young people stood together at this time, and they were still quite eye-catching.
Just as they were about to leave, a few people came to the gate of the city, first the three ladies of the Kuroda family, and it happened that Kuroda Ritaka and none of them were born to the same mother, so the three ladies came.
Just like when Kuroda Vocational High School went to the Kodera family as an adopted son (in fact, a hostage), the three mothers shed tears when they thought that their children were about to leave and did not know when they could turn around.
"Mother, don't be sad, I will try my best to do a good job in the tasks taught to me by my fourth uncle, only in this way can I become a supporter of my brother in the future." Kuroda Toshitaka comforted Mrs. Iwa and said, very serious.
"Mother, don't cry! I'm not going back for the New Year, and we're not really going to the battlefield, although I really want to go to the battlefield to see, but it's not like there is no chance! Kuroda Toshinori said with a grin, looking a little cynical.
"Mother, it's okay, my uncle and brother will take care of me." Kuroda said.
"Okay, let's stop crying, it's a good thing for the kids to go out and practice. They're already in the house, they're adults, so we have to learn to let go. Lady Rock said. The two ladies, Muri and Kamiyoshi, immediately wiped away their tears.
The three ladies are all thirty years old, and the youngest Mrs. Kamiyoshi is not yet thirty years old this year, and it is normal for her heart to be reluctant in the face of her son's departure.
However, they all felt that what Mrs. Iwa said was right, they should let go and let the children go out to practice, they are indeed adults, even if they want to live well in the Kuroda family in the future, they must hone their abilities, because what kind of famous family the Kuroda family is, as the pillow people of Kuroda Zhilong, they know best.
At this time, Kuroda Vocational High School stepped forward, holding his youngest brother Shingoro in his hand.
"Brother." The three Kuroda brothers immediately stepped forward.
"Speaking of which, this is indeed a test for you, after going to Nagato, honestly complete the tasks assigned by your uncle, do not steal and play tricks, and remember that you are just an ordinary retainer of the Kuroda family, it is best not to reveal your identity. Work well, listen to your uncle's teachings, think about what you do, and summarize what you do, these will be rare experiences for you when you govern one side on your own in the future. ”
