Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Hostage Selection
When I was in the Itetomo Clan Cane and Itetomotaka before, I mentioned that Liver Fu Kaneliang and Liver Fu Kaneru were in the camp of the Kuroda family at this time.
Originally, after the two of them had finished the combat missions assigned by the Kuroda family in each of them, they both returned to their respective territories with their soldiers, but this time the two of them came to the Kuroda family's camp with their own purposes, and when they came, they basically only had a few followers.
In addition to congratulating the Kuroda family for winning the land of Minami Hyuga Province and taking all of the Shimazu family's Satsuma Kingdom (he himself participated in the attack on Satsuma Country's Izumi Shozumi Castle), he became familiar with everyone in the Kuroda family, especially Imate Tomoji and Takenaka Shigeji.
In addition, he also hopes to try his luck here, to see if the Kuroda family has any follow-up military operations, and if so, he hopes to win a little opportunity, even if it is soy sauce, at least to get back a little land.
After being weakened twice by the Shimazu family and the Kuroda family, the Kaji wood liver Fu family, who also starred in the liver payment, has indeed been weakened too much at present, and the Jiaji wood liver Fu family, which was originally a local small name, has now only 5,000 stone left, and it is really miserable. He hopes to gain as much as possible through the merits of the war, and it is best to regain the number of territorial stones before he was defeated by the Shimazu family.
But this time he was disappointed, the Kuroda family seemed to have no preparation to continue the attack after occupying Satsuma and Minami Hyuga countries, although with the 18,000 people of the Kuroda family, there was absolutely no problem in continuing the attack, but he could feel that the Kuroda family did not want to continue the attack, but was just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
As for what this opportunity is, it's really not something he can only know, if he had this ability, then he wouldn't have been defeated by the Shimazu family in the first place.
And the head of the Liver Fu family, Liver Fu Kanliang, originally turned back to his own territory, and this time he came here to go to the hostages of the Kuroda family, or the matter of the training class quota.
According to the rules of the Kuroda family, as soon as all the subjugating forces accept the rule of the Kuroda family, they must send hostages and surrender tables to the Kuroda family.
Rather, the so-called hostages are the heirs of those forces that have surrendered, and in the past, the children of all wealthy families had to be sent to the Kuroda family and enter the Kuroda family's training class to study.
And since the reputation of the Kuroda family's training class has been spread, especially after the emergence of a few talents such as Kuriyama Rian and Inoue Nobo, the requirements for recruiting students have now become stricter, and only the children of relatively large forces are qualified to enter the Kuroda family's school and receive the education of loyalty.
As for some of the children of small wealthy families and Chinese families, they are really just sent to Kuroda's house as hostages, and now it is not so easy to enter the school in Kuroda City to study, and the children who can go in to study are themselves a symbol of the identity of the forces behind them. As long as you are not a fool, if you go to the Kuroda family school and come out, you will at least be a candidate for the governor of the family.
In the face of such an attractive condition of the Kuroda family, the liver Fu family has become a special case, and the reason why it has become a special case is not that the liver Fu Kanliang is unwilling to send hostages, but because he is only in his twenties, and he has not had any heirs until now, and he himself has no relatives to send to the Kuroda family as a hostage and send him to school to study.
This has become a more difficult problem for Liver Fu Kaneliang, and it is necessary to surrender to the Kuroda family, but he has just had the right to do piston movement (he was almost in a state of semi-imprisonment before Liver Fu Kane), and it is impossible for him to get a child out in a few days, which is a practical problem, and this is also not in line with physiological laws.
But no matter how anxious Liver Fu Kanliang is, this problem still has to be solved, after all, the rules of the Kuroda family cannot be changed, and the Kono family changed the rules of the Kuroda family's transfer of seals before, but the price paid is too great, and only one percent of the land is retained. Liver Fu Kanliang felt that if he couldn't send enough hostages, the Kuroda family would also do things that only allowed him to keep one percent of the land, but the Kuroda family never paid attention to eating like things.
Although he had no heirs of his own, he finally came up with a better way to give his brother's child to the Kuroda family as a hostage. For himself, it's definitely the best of both worlds.
His brother is dead, but in the family of the Liver Fu family, more people still support the brother who has died, rather than himself. So his little nephew is also very popular in the family. The most important thing is that Liver Fu Jianliang saw the shadow of his brother from this child's body, and everyone in the family still has this understanding, if it weren't for the fact that he was only seven or eight years old, maybe a little older, the family governor would not have anything to do with him Liver Fu Jianliang.
Sending my brother's only heir to the Kuroda family now would indirectly weaken my brother's prestige within the family, and it would also be a good idea to cut off those under his command from supporting their nephews and consolidate their own dominance.
It's really not how genius he is to be able to get along with each other, otherwise how could the retainers look down on him, it's just that the situation is forced to do it, and he only has this one way.
Liver Fu Jianliang also thought of another way, and sent Chongchen's child as an adopted son, he asked YDZZX and MQZC, but neither of them agreed. Of course they won't agree, the two of them have already taken refuge in the Kuroda family directly, not to mention that the status is the same as the liver Fu family, the two have agreed to send the child to the Kuroda family, and both of them have only one child, and they really can't take out the second child to send the Kuroda family, otherwise the two of them are really willing.
And after asking the two of them, he didn't ask the other retainers, which was also a mistake he made, if he asked about the Mei Kita Kuni Kane, who rebelled against the Shimazu family and blocked the car with his mantis arm in history, maybe there were hostages.
Anyway, in the end, Liver Fu and Liang only had one choice, his nephew, but this choice made Liver Fu and Liang feel that it was the best way.
After weighing the balance between Tomoji Imate and Shigeharu Takenaka, he could only agree with his idea, and this time he sent his precious nephew to Kuroda's house as a hostage.
Kaneliang took his nephew into the big tent of the Itetomo clan, and the child immediately knelt down in the center. [.]
