"Yes, Zuomatou-sama, I was scared three times, the first time was when I was only six years old, when I heard the news of the battle of Kawanakajima, and after I knew that the Takeda family and the Uesugi family were strong, I was scared at that time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kuroda said calmly, as if he was thinking about the situation at that time.

"The Takeda family and the Uesugi family?"

"Yes." Kuroda nodded.

"The Battle of Kawanakajima is indeed a world-famous battle, and I also learned about the situation of both sides very carefully at that time, and as you said, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family are indeed very powerful, but they are located in the East China Sea and Hokuriku, and we are located in the western country, which is far away from each other, and they are at war with each other, why are you afraid?" Mao Liyuan asked.

"It's not the Takeda family and the Uesugi family that I'm afraid of." Kuroda said.

"What? But just now, you clearly said that you said that you said the news of the battle on Kawanakajima......"

"What I'm really afraid of is actually the war itself, I heard that the battle of Kawanakajima, from the beginning to the end, the total number of casualties on both sides exceeded 10,000, and this included the deaths and injuries of the common people, the wealthy clans, and the countrymen. At that time, I was actually ignorant of the cruelty of the troubled times of the Warring States, and it was the Battle of Kawanakajima that made me know the cruelty of war.

I am afraid of war, afraid that those daimyo will wantonly provoke wars for their own interests, afraid that my Kuroda family, like other wealthy clans, will become fish and meat to be slaughtered in the hands of daimyo like playthings, afraid that I will not be able to protect my family and the people in my territory, and I am afraid that even my own life will be lost in this troubled world of the Warring States. ”

"Minbe-sama was only six years old at the time?" Mao Liyuan asked.

"Yes, I was only six years old at the time, sixteen years ago. That's why I'm afraid of this, so I work hard to read the books in my family, as well as all the books I can find in Koji's house, and eagerly absorb all the knowledge, how to fight, and how to use military science. Kuroda replied.

"It's amazing for a six-year-old child to know this, what a unicorn! It's a pity that God didn't give me the Maori family. Mao Liyuan said bitterly.

"That's not what your lord said." Kuroda said.

"Oh!" Mao Liyuan looked at him, wondering why he said that.

"Even if I was born in a Maori family, I may not be able to achieve my current results, you must know that the Kuroda family started from the end of the world, and many things are different from other samurai families and wealthy families."

"Minbe-sama is talking about tradition?" Mao Liyuan asked.

"It's the so-called samurai inheritance, and because my Kuroda family is a merchant, I don't want to shy away from this at all. The so-called businessman pursues profits, as long as he can achieve his own goals or obtain the greatest benefits, sometimes he will not follow the rules, which is one of the reasons why the Kuroda family has been able to develop rapidly.

Moreover, in the previous battles of the Kuroda family, the wealthy and national forces that were unwilling to develop with the Kuroda family were all eliminated without exception, and those who remained were at least superficially with the Kuroda family, and when the Kuroda family was in need, at least they would not hinder the Kuroda family.

The Maori family is different, the Maori family is a combination of many wealthy families and Chinese people, and some samurai traditions are bound to be implemented, because all the subsidiary forces are always watching the Maori family. It's precisely because of this.,If it's me.,Even if I just want to divide and solve the contradiction with the wealthy clan in the territory.、It's going to take me too much energy.,Even if I can develop smoothly until now.,It's not necessarily the current achievements of the Kuroda family.,This is the role of people's hearts.,It's also the result of different governance models.。。 ”

"People's hearts?"

"Yes, people's hearts."

"And what about Minbe-sama's second fear?" Mao Liyuan asked.

"It was when the family had just defeated Lord Akamatsu Masahide and obtained the Iho County and the Ako County, although the land of the family had expanded a lot at that time, there were already tens of thousands of stone of land, and even in terms of territory, it was on par with the Koji family, the head of the family at the time.

At this time, the Urakami family in Bizen Province gathered the Ukita Naoya family and some of the wealthy people of Mimasaka Province, and the number of people reached 10,000, and they came to attack my Kuroda ryo, and this incident was the second time I felt scared. ”

"So what is Minbe-sama afraid of this time? According to the behavior of the adults when they spoke just now, it should not be the Urakami family itself, but the Ukita Naojia family, right? Mao Liyuan said.

"Zuomatou-sama is simply discerning, and what I was afraid of at the time was the Ukita Naoya. This person is a person who is good at strategy, and I happen to be the best at strategy, so it can be said that no matter how it is arranged, it is very likely to be seen through by the other party, especially if you want to arrange some simple tactics like ambush, it is basically difficult. ”

"The name of the Ukita Naoka, I also know, and being able to obtain the land of the two counties by my own means is indeed a very powerful character." Mao Liyuan nodded and said.

"It's just that my Kuroda family was lucky at that time, and the Ukita Nao-sama and Urakami Sokei were not all the way, so when the war just started, they revealed all the arrangements of the Urakami family to me, so we were able to arrange it calmly. And the most important thing is that the family only had 2,000 soldiers at that time, and this also includes the people of the Miki family.

Because the Urakami family came with a division of troops, the soldiers of the family could not gather in one place, and the situation was very dangerous. When the war between the main family and the Urakami family was at its most dangerous, he got the news that the Ukita Naojia had rebelled, and in this way, Urakami Munekyi was in a hurry to withdraw his troops and extinguish the rebellion in the territory, so that the main family was saved from the danger of being wiped out. ”

"In this way, it was the Ukita Nao family who got the benefit at that time!"

"Yes, the main family and the Urakami family are desperate, and he, the Ukita Naoka, does not lose a single soldier, and calmly goes back to prepare to attack the territory of Urakami Sokei, which is indeed his style. And what about the third fear? Mao Liyuan asked.

"The third time! That was when the family attacked the three villages in China, and knew that Lord Zuo Matou would come to fight with an army of more than 10,000. Kuroda said.

"Are you afraid of me?" Mao Liyuan suddenly smiled and said, his face was much better.

"At that time, I was just a teenager, and many things were not yet mature, in this case, I would have to face the attack of the Maori family, especially the Zuo Matou, who had the title of the first wise general in the West, was really very worried." Kuroda said with a smile.
