The time has entered early autumn, and it is already a beautiful season for picking and harvesting, and the entire Kuroda family's territory is almost a scene of harvest, even the people of the newly acquired land are smiling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because the Kuroda family has five people and no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, at least it can be determined that they will not starve to death in winter, and as long as this policy can be continued, then life will have a rush.

In any case, the Kuroda family's domain was harvesting and picking, and in addition to the necessary administrative staff, the officials all took action and went down to the grassroots level to guide the work.

On this day, suddenly Akashi Quanden came to report, and Kuroda was summoned.

Kuroda asked Akashi Junto, "Is something going on?" ”

"Young lord, I really don't know about this, I only know that the Ando family, whose family is in Awa Country, sent Lord Andong Xiangli to ask for a meeting."

"Is Anton Xiangli right? It's an acquaintance, I met him two months ago, and he's a pretty good guy. Since you don't know what's going on, let's just go over there. Kuroda said.

"Hey!"

Entering the Ohiroma on the first floor of the castle tower, Kuroda Vocational High School saw a person sitting there, it was Ando Xiangli who had seen him in Katsurui Castle before.

"Lord Anxiang, don't come unharmed!" Kuroda walked to the first position on the right side of Ohiroma and sat down, and said to Anton Gori with a smile.

"I've seen the young lord in Lower Andong Xiangli! Thank you for your concern, the young master, it has been very good recently. Anton Xiangli bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School and said respectfully.

"Is Lord Anton still on duty at the city gate?" Kuroda asked.

"Back to the words of the young master, I am not on duty at the city gate now, but now I am one of the practitioners of my family's diplomacy," said Anton Xiangli.

"Diplomacy is practiced, isn't it? Could it be that Lord Andong Xiangli doesn't want to go to the battlefield to make a contribution? Kuroda asked suspiciously.

Because he has a very good sense of this young man, he has such a problem. Because in Kuroda Vocational High School's understanding, Ando Gotori is a young man who is valued by Mamoru Ando, and as long as this young man does not die young, he should be able to become a famous samurai in the future.

Now he has chosen to become a minister of the Ando family, and it is a more dangerous diplomatic practice, and it stands to reason that a relative samurai like Andong Gori would not make such a choice. And Kuroda Vocational High School observed that when he just said this matter, his expression was as usual, which shows that this is really his own choice, so Kuroda Vocational High School has such doubts.

"Back to the young master, I still have some understanding of myself, and I know that my martial arts are actually very bad, if I say that I need to become a samurai who needs to go directly to the battlefield, I don't have the confidence to survive on the battlefield, and in the end, I can only become the martial arts of other warriors! If it becomes a diplomatic practice, it is different, although it is true that there may be dangers in foreign exchanges, but at least it is much better than going to war. ”

"In fact, if you become one of the commissioners, Lord Ando can also learn some wise things, such as the former chief diplomatic officer of the Mori family, Lord Ankokuji Keikyu, who is also the current Takeda Ichino-samai of the family, that is, in addition to diplomacy, he also has a high attainment in military strategy." Kuroda reminded him.

"I see! Thanks to the cultivation of the young lord in the next, it seems that I need to work hard in the next. Anton Gori said, and at the same time bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, Ando-sama and them."

"Uncle, they're all fine."

"That's great, you're the pillar of my Kuroda family in the south!"

"Thank you, Lord for complimenting." Anton Xiangli was a little flattered, and immediately bowed again.

"The lord has arrived." The little surname shouted loudly.

Kuroda Vocational High School and Ando Gotoshi immediately bowed down to the main seat, and after Kuroda Vocational High sat on the main seat, he said solemnly: "Get up!" ”

"Hey!"

"Kan Kanwei, I came to you this time because the Ando family brought someone to my house." Kuroda said.

"From Shikoku?"

"Yes, but no, let's let Anton say it!" Kuroda said.

"Hey! The young lord is like this, this person came to the shore near Matsumae Castle on a small morning three days ago.

"So this person is not from Shikoku?"

"Hey!"

"And where is he from?"

"Satsuma."

"You say this person is from Satsuma? What's his name? Kuroda suddenly found himself excited.

"This man is indeed from Satsuma, and he has two retinues with him, this person is Shimazu Tadashige."

"Shimazu Tadashige, yes? Is he a member of the Shimazu family? Kuroda asked.

"Yes, he is the son of Shimazu Katsuhisa, the last head of the Shimazu family."

"That's great, call him in." Kuroda said.

He didn't realize at all that his actions had actually gone beyond the limit, because Kuroda hadn't spoken yet. Fortunately, Kuroda knows his virtues very well and doesn't care about it. This Kuroda family is going to be Kuroda Vocational High School soon, so let him go for this little thing! Kuroda has always been so tolerant of his eldest son.

Soon a thin-looking young man walked in and knelt in front of the three.

"In Shimoshimazu Tadashige, I met Kuroda Danmasa-sama, and I met Kuroda-sama."

The three characters of jiu, zhong, and tadashi are the most commonly used characters in the names of the entire Minami-Kyushu Shimazu clan and the clan.

"Well, get up!" Kuroda raised his hand to signal him to get up.

"Hey!" Only then did the man raise his head.

"Togo-sama said you were from the Shimazu family in Satsuma Province?" Kuroda asked.

"Hey! In the next is the son of the Shimazu family, the last governor of the Shimazu family in Satsuma Province, Shimazu Katsuhisa. ”

"Are you telling the truth?" Kuroda Vocational High School interjected at this time.

"It's true that I'm the son of the previous head of the Shimazu family, but there's really no way to prove my identity." Tadashige Shimazu said.

"Hmmm! Let's not talk about your identity, why did you come to your family's territory? ”

"Because I have to escape from Shimazu Tadara (Nisshin Sai) and Shimazu Takahisa father and son." Shimazu replied.

Kuroda looked at Kuroda, who nodded to him, indicating that there was no problem with what Shimazu Tadashi said. In fact, Kuroda Vocational High School is only speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence.
