Chapter 63 Kyushu Pacification
Kuroda Vocational High School has been in the Wakoku for so many years, but in his heart he is still completely unable to identify with the so-called culture of the Wakoku, whether it is the tea ceremony, or the flower arrangement, ape music, Noh opera, waka, and scarlet sentences, these art forms are things that he has never been able to understand and accept.
Even if Kuroda Vocational High School is for political purposes, he still dabbles in it to some extent, but even so, he is forced to do it, and he is helpless from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't really like it.
In other words, the small warehouse-colored paper that has been regarded as a family treasure by the Utsunomiya family for a hundred years is really just paper in the eyes of our Kuroda Vocational High School, and it has no value, it may just be a little better than white paper.
Even if Kuroda was given it, it would probably be given to the emperor as a treasure in exchange for benefits, or to the literate samurai under his command, or to keep the pure vassal and elegant people in exchange for their loyalty, or for other purposes.
If it can't be sent, Kuroda Vocational High School may even use these so-called family treasures to fold a little frog, a small pagoda or something for the tiger pill that Ali gave birth to three years ago, anyway, it won't be much cherished.
After the capture of Joi Valley Castle, the other wealthy clans and countrymen of the Bunzen Kingdom actually had no defensive power left, because their soldiers in their respective families had already fallen to Joi Valley Castle.
Therefore, as long as there are forces around that are unwilling to surrender, they are basically the families of Utsunomiya Yuanliu, and in the end, when the Kuroda family only divided into several teams of 100 people, they were basically easily taken down.
I have to say that these Utsunomiya Yuanliu characters are indeed very tough, even if they are completely hopeless, they basically do not surrender to the Kuroda family. Those who are willing to submit to the Kuroda family are basically just the lowest-level samurai of the ordinary land head, but it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to get a chance in the Kuroda family in the future.
After spending two days in the Kuroda family, ostensibly controlling the entire Bunzen country, the Bunzen country finally fell into the hands of the Kuroda family, who spent as many as seven years for a Kyushu. Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, no matter what, the Kuroda family can take Kyushu, which must be very beneficial to the Kuroda family's strategy in the future, and it can be regarded as finding the last piece of the puzzle for pacifying the world.
For Kyushu was taken by the Kuroda family, Kuroda Vocational High School was very happy when he knew, and all the affairs after Kyushu were handed over to the Imate Yushi and Matsui Shigetaka to be in charge, anyway, there were many samurai gangs in the Shikoku Legion and the Perimeter Legion, which should be enough to govern the place.
Young samurai such as Kuroda Toshitaka, Kuroda Toshinori, Kuriyama Riyasu, Shima Katsutake, Otani Yoshitsugi, Masaaki Masashiyo, and Kinusa Keihiro, as well as Kai Soun, Ijichi Shigeko, and Ryo Shigenaga, who were newly acquired in Kyushu, were all transferred back to the Kuroda family. In addition, Miyata Mitsuji, Otani Moriji, Sasaki Nagahide, Wang Erzhu and other samurai were also transferred back to the Kuroda family.
In addition, all the 4,500 Kuroda family's long-range soldiers who had been assigned to the two legions were withdrawn, and the Kuroda family's 6,000 ranged troops would be gathered together later to prepare for the next big battle. They will be assembled in a special and secret location, and the combat drills specially prepared for them by Kuroda Vocational High School will start in advance, and they will always be in combat condition.
Returning to Kuroda with the remote team is also 5,000 elite Kuroda ordinary foot soldiers, and they will return directly to the camp near Kuroda Castle.
What the Kuroda family left in Kyushu was the original Shikoku Legion of 14,000 people, and according to the composition when they came, it was divided into four parts: Iate Tomoji, Ando Morisa, Endo Takakei, and Miki Tsuaki.
In addition, after the Shikoku Army came to Kyushu, many local daimyos, wealthy clans, and people from southern Kyushu who surrendered to the Kuroda family, such as the Hefu family, the Aso family, and the Ketain family, totaled 7,000 people.
Matsui Shigetaka's command originally had 12,000 men, including 8,000 Tuntian soldiers who had been staying in Zhou Fangguo, and now they have all moved to Kitakyushu with Matsui Shigetaka. In addition, there are more than 7,000 people under the command of the local daimyo of Kitakyushu, such as Chikushi Hiromon, Akizuki Taneshi, Tachibana Kanzai, Matsuura Takanobu, and Amakusa Goren.
Of the 19,000 people, Matsui Shigetaka personally led 4,000 people to sit in Bungo Province, Matsui Shigetaka led 3,000 people to sit in Bunzen Province, and the remaining 4,000 people were stationed in Hizen Province and Chikuzen Province with 1,500 people each led by Harada Yoshitane and Nabeshima Kiyonobu, and Hattori Muneke and Ota Hara Sotoki led 1,000 people to garrison Chikugo Province.
All 7,000 people including Chikushi Hiromon, Tanumi Akizuki and others were transferred to the eastern region of Harima Province and directly under the direct management of the Kuroda family. For a long time after that, Kyushu would be dominated by rest and recuperation.
In fact, the Kuroda family's executive division had already received the news that the Kyushu expedition was about to end, so the enryakuji clan clan, Maeda Genyi, Konishi Takasa, Mizuguchi Morisato, Kontomi Nobumasa and other bigwigs of the executive division, as well as Konishi Yukinaga and Nagazuki Masaka, who had just come to study, held a day-and-night preparatory meeting at the commissioning division.
After the end of the war, the Kuroda family had to do things that not only did not end, but could be said to have just begun, such as new land seizure activities, with the cooperation of the army, to pacify the local people, restore normal social production and living order, organize agricultural production activities, promote commercial operations, build wide roads connecting major cities, build new and abolished castles, and excavate and explore large and small mineral deposits.
This kind of work requires them to give a plan in advance, and then Kuroda Vocational High School will make a decision. Although there have been many similar preparations before, Kyushu is too big after all, and compared to any previous time, the mission is not a heavyweight at all.
Even if it was a meeting for a day and a night, in the end, the old Enryakuji Sect couldn't even support it, and was ordered by Kuroda Vocational High School to go home to rest, and the final plan still had many details, Kuroda Vocational High School felt that he was not satisfied, and he needed to reconsider how to improve it.
How to quickly integrate the forces of Kyushu after occupying Kyushu is the most important thing for the Kuroda family at present, and the Kuroda family will inevitably carry out a certain amount of manpower and material resources. As long as the Kuroda family can transform Kyushu into their own strength, everything is actually worth it.
