Chapter 129 Matsujumaru - Yoshitaka Kuroda
Matsui Shigetaka is the eldest son of Matsui Shigetaka and the future heir of the Matsui family, because Matsui Shigetaka only has this one son-in-law. But of course, if Matsui Shigetaka has other children, the final heir should also be Matsui Shigetaka, the eldest son of the Matsui family.
Because Matsui Shigetaka is different from his cousin Itetomo Taka, although he has not been outstanding since he was a child, he is only regarded as a middle-aged talent in the training class, but he has always studied very hard, even when he graduated, he is not a very outstanding talent, but all his efforts, whether it is Kuroda Vocational High School, Matsui Shigetaka, or the teachers of the Kuroda family are still in the eyes.
Matsui Shigetaka is indeed not a smart person, but it definitely does not mean that his ability is not good, he through his own efforts, although the martial arts are indeed miserable, but in the handling of internal affairs, for the appointment of talents, have their own uniqueness, this is a bit like Matsui Shigetaka, but Matsui Shigetaka's own martial arts are still very good, so Matsui Shigetaka is barely a weakened version of Matsui Shigetaka.
Matsui's name is the same as Kuroda's grandfather, Kuroda Shigetaka, and it's not the first time Matsui has played out. In the previous decisive battle between the Kuroda family and the Maori family, it was Matsui Shigetaka who was the person left behind by Matsui Shigetaka's army and sat in Shikano Castle in Inaba Province.
The work that Matsui Shigetaka did in Kano Castle was defense and logistics support, and then it proved that his work was very successful, taking care of the rear of the entire Matsui Shigetaka Army in an orderly manner, and doing a very good job in the logistics and supply of the entire rear.
At that time, Matsui Shigetaka had already received the attention of Kuroda Vocational High School, but Kuroda Vocational High School was more cautious and happy. Because in his thoughts, he couldn't be sure whether it was Matsui Shigetaka's own ability or the ability of the samurai under his command, but to be honest, being able to command everyone to that level was a good thing in itself.
Now that Kuroda Vocational High School heard that his cousin had such an opinion, Kuroda Vocational High School nodded unconsciously, he felt that there was no problem with what Matsui Shigetaka said, and it seemed that he could use Matsui Shigetaka appropriately and boldly.
After all, Matsui Shigetaka is a member of the Kuroda family, and he is also one of the important figures of the future Imperial Three Family, even if he is slightly inferior in ability to other experienced people, or even a little bit different, but as long as he has some ability, he will inevitably be reused by Kuroda's high office.
Sometimes a person who stands at the height of Kuroda's position has a lot to consider, not only the ability of his own retainers, but also the art used by his own subordinates, and it is actually imperative to raise Matsui Shigetaka to the highest position of the Kuroda family at some time in the future.
Without further ado, the current situation is that in the face of the resolute resistance of the Toyozen Province, some of the people who sat down advocated killing them directly, while others believed that the Otomo family should not be taken lightly. Although Kuroda Vocational High School already had a set of cases in his heart, he had other ideas.
"Matsujumaru, tell me what you think." Kuroda looked at his eldest son.
"My lord, and my lords, first of all, the enemy we are facing, the Otomo family, is indeed an opponent that is not easy to deal with, if it is too light on the enemy, then the result of the Otomo family in the Ryoda River a few years ago is the end of the family this time.
However, my father did say that as long as it was a battle, it was necessary to be prepared for victory. And this so-called preparation for victory must be based on a situation that can understand all the factors on the battlefield as a whole. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
The main family and the Otomo family have been at war for many years, and they have not been able to make any progress in the Otomo family, which is really unacceptable. The embarrassing situation of the family before, there is indeed a big reason because of the military advisor of the Otomo family, Kakukuma Ishi Zonggong, and now Kakukuma Ishi Zonggong has passed away, which is indeed in line with the situation of the family. The current situation seems to be a good opportunity, and we must take advantage of it.
So this time the strategy we must fight, but at the same time we have to pay attention to some other details, although the main army of the Otomo family has been trapped in the Toyogo country by Lord Ide Tomo, but in the Toyozen country Otomo family still has some of their own firm supporters, such as the castle in front of us, we can know from the intelligence that this person is a wise and brave person, otherwise it would be impossible to use the map of tens of thousands of stones in the land of the two counties, not only to develop and become the righteous brother of Otomo Sorin. ”
"Hmmm! That's a good point, so can you tell us what our specific strategy should look like this time? Kuroda interrupted him and asked.
"If the family's intelligence is not wrong, the castle will be the most important enemy of the family this time, as long as we can defeat this person, our situation in the Fengzen country will be slightly better. If the family takes the initiative to attack. Then the Chengjing Town House will definitely arrange ambushes in the area of Chengjing Valley to achieve the goal of defeating the family. Yoshitaka Kuroda said.
When Yoshitaka Kuroda said that the castle town house would arrange an ambush in the area of the castle valley, those who had just spoken in favor of sending troops directly immediately shut up, and they were also wondering if such a speculation would be true!
As a result, even they themselves thought that the Chengjing Town House was likely to do such a thing in order to keep their territory, so they all bowed their heads in shame.
"Chengjing Zhenfang will make an ambush in its own territory to deal with the attack of its own family, which is a problem that many adults should have considered, so how should we deal with it?" Kuroda continued to ask.
"Father, if it's the arrangement of personnel, I don't think there is much need to send out too many strikers, but it must be a samurai trained from the central school of the main family to take on the task of the striker this time."
When I heard Kuroda Yoshitaka say this, some of the old ministers of the Kuroda family below felt that this new master was not ready to squeeze out old ministers like himself so that his classmates could take the position.
"Oh! Why is that? ”
"My lords, I don't mean anything else, and I will never do anything in favor of my subordinates. There is a reason why I say this, when I was in the central school, the lord once explained to us in detail all kinds of possible situations in ambushes. ”
