Chapter 10: The Castle of Fields
When the first sentence of Koji Vocational High School was spoken, Kuroda Vocational High School was actually a little strange, and everyone present also heard that Koji Vocational High School's words were not simple, and they must have deep meaning. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info or Kuroda Zhitaka has been in a high position for a long time, and he is the first to come back to his senses. The meaning of Koji Vocational High School is actually very simple, it is to remind the Kuroda family in China that although they belong to the same clan as the Himeji Kuroda family, they should not regard themselves as relatives of the imperial family, but just as a small wealthy family, it is good to survive under the protection of the Kuroda family.
Of course, after all, the two families do belong to the same clan, and the Kuroda family will definitely still give the Bichu Kuroda family some substantial care, but they definitely don't have to expect these cares to feed the whole family, and if they want to survive, they have to struggle themselves, which is what Koji Zhigao wants to express.
Kuroda Nobutaka is also an old man, and after a little pondering, he probably knew the meaning of Koji Vocational High School, and immediately said respectfully to Koji Vocational High School: "This must be the young master of the Kuroda family, the Kirin of Sanyo Road and the Lord of Koji Vocational High School!" The meaning of the adults, I have already understood below, and the Kuroda family in Bichu will definitely recuperate in Iho-gun, and I hope that the lord can rest assured that he will be dedicated to the Himeji Kuroda family. ”
Koji Zhigao nodded to Kuroda Zhitaka, Kuroda Zhitaka had already known the way of the emperor all these years, and immediately said: "When I came down, I saw that there were quite a few brave people in the middle of the country, and I am willing to recruit a few of them as close attendants, as long as they perform well, they will be accepted as retainers of their own family." In addition, it is allowed to select five children from the clan and send them to Gosho Castle for training. ”
"Training?" Kuroda Nobutaka said suspiciously.
"Exactly, the boss doesn't know, this is what I did on a whim two years ago, that is, to gather all the important ministers and children of the wealthy families between the ages of three and ten to go to the Imperial City to receive military studies, arithmetic, the art of war, and the study of the Ming Dynasty for at least two years. Martial arts are generally taught by Takatomo Musato and Kyojiro Mibu, and military science is taught at least once a month in the next month unless there are special circumstances, and as for arithmetic and Ming Guowen, they are taught by a special practitioner, Mr. Kowa. After the age of twelve, all students can go to the Kuroda family to serve as a minor surname, and after the age of sixteen, they can choose to stay in their own family or return to their own family to inherit the position of family governor. Boss, you must know that the wealthy family who has taken refuge in the family generally has a quota for the family. Koji said with a smile.
"It's ...... to give us five of these places. This is really grateful. Kuroda Nobutaka excitedly bowed to Kuroda and Kotera Jobaka, if there are one or two capable people among the five people, the Kuroda family in China will also rise.
"Okay, in that case, I'll wait for the mother to go to the middle of the house to choose the attendants, as for the children! It's up to Nobutaka-sama Kuroda to decide! Kuroda said with a smile.
"Hey!" Nobutaka Kuroda gratefully bowed to Mr. Kuroda and Mr. Kodera again.
After staying in Kuroda for a long time, in addition to selecting ten people as Kuroda Zhitaka's close attendants, the other members of the Bichu Kuroda family, escorted by several soldiers of the Kuroda family, immediately rushed to Harima Country, and when they arrived in Harima Country, there would naturally be someone to guide them on what to do and where to live.
After that, the army of the Kuroda family marched directly to the southwest, crossing the Mitsukawa River, and on the south bank of the Mitsukawa River was the riverside castle of the Uehara family, and the riverside castle was just a small castle for defense, and the Uehara family was only no better than the Kuroda family in Bichu.
But in the face of the Kuroda family's persuasion, he was unmoved, and kept emphasizing the benefits of the Mimura family, which annoyed Kuroda Itakaka. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, then it's better to die.
The Kuroda family didn't bother to say more, and directly pressed several teams up, and soon rushed into the bar, but the entire Uehara family fought tenaciously to the end, but after all, the number of the Uehara family was too small, and it didn't last long before the Kuroda family captured the entire bar, and the entire Uehara family was killed.
After resting for a while, the Kuroda family continued to the south and besieged the Gunda Castle directly under the Mimura family, which was considered a fortified castle for China's Shimochi Prefecture, but the number of castles captured by the Kuroda family now has already exceeded 100, and Tottori, Gunzan, and Tenjin Mountain Castle are not comparable to Gunda Castle.
Under the suggestion of Kodera Vocational High School, the Kuroda army attacked the castle on three sides, and the newly subdued Oshima, Fukushima, and Shinjo families were responsible for the attack on the northern wall, Hanafu Masayuki was in charge of the west, Sasaki Nagahide was in charge of the east, and the south was left alone to not attack.
There were originally 300 defenders in the city, but when the Mimura family was defeated and retreated, 200 people were transferred, leaving only 100 defenders in the city. If you stick to it on three sides, the 100 people will be divided equally, and there will only be more than 30 people on three sides. However, in the face of the Kuroda family's persuasion, the defenders of the Mimura family finally chose to defend the castle, vowing to live and die with the city, fulfilling his loyalty as a samurai of the Mimura family.
Knowing that nothing can be done, in order to create more casualties for the Kuroda family, the guard decided to gather all the soldiers in the north of the city wall, in fact, they are lucky, in fact, Kotera Zhigao has already ordered Motoyama Shigechen to lead a team, and go around to the woods south of the city gate to standby, and in addition, in the south of the city, there are also three reserves of 600 people, Haino Nobuyoshi, Kosaii Zhennao, and Saito Nagashi, once these defenders are ambushed out of the city, it is good not to collapse directly.
But the guards arranged like this, the Kuroda family's vanguard three wealthy families were not happy, the three families finally attacked the city, and met the fierce resistance of the defenders, the three families after paying a heavy price, left more than 40 corpses, can only be torn off, retreated to the city to repair.
But even so, the purpose of the Kuroda family was achieved, and while the three wealthy clans were fighting with the defenders, the reserves of Hanabo Masayuki and Sasaki Nagahide took the opportunity to successfully ascend to the top of the castle and began to advance towards the defenders from both sides.
The defenders had just fought the low-fighting Hao peasant soldiers, and they could still fight very well, but now that the regular army of the Kuroda family had begun to ascend the city, they still attacked the defenders from both sides, compressing all the defenders on a narrow section of the city wall, especially after Motoyama Shigetsu led the team into the city from the south, the defenders had no possibility of escaping at all, either they died or surrendered, and these defenders had no choice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to serve the Mimura family," the Shogun shouted hysterically as he raised his katana and hissed hysterically at his men. (To be continued.) )
