Chapter 196: The Maori Family Surrenders
"Kyushu is indeed as Lord Zuo Matou said, it is a chaotic place, very difficult to capture, it is precisely because of this, my Kuroda family will give up the opportunity to Shangluo, which is close at hand, but first turn around and attack Kyushu, only by stabilizing the rear, and let the people of Kyushu be completely used by the family, the family can really say to fight for the world, this is my idea.

Since Lord Zuo Matou said that I hope that my Kuroda family can get good results in Kyushu, then I will inherit the good words of my lord, and my Kuroda family will definitely work hard to sweep away Kyushu, completely solve the troubles behind my family, and then achieve the result of peace in the world, and live up to the trust of your lords. Kuroda replied.
Ankokuji Huiqiong, Inoue Kasane, and Kobayakawa Hirohei nodded yes, while Mori Moto shook his head and did not speak, and Kobayakawa Takakei and Mori Terumoto also expressed silence.
"Lord Zuo Matou, I know that you are somewhat unwilling, in fact, I also want to talk to you. As I said, the rise of the Maori family was a legend for me back then. To put it bluntly, the rise of my Kuroda family is also a bit fantastical, after all, it is a very sudden and rapid rise. But in my eyes, the rise of our two families is still different. ”
"What's the difference, please ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs for advice." Mao Liyuan said modestly.
"The adult's own brother Mototsuna-sama, Lord Inoue Motokane, Yoshikawa Kokyo, and Kobayakawa Kokei-sama, who selflessly helped the adult, as well as the wealthy families and countrymen who were not included in the blood book of the verdict, I don't know if the adults still remember." Kuroda said.
"I understand what you mean, but isn't this the current situation in the troubled times of the Warring States? Only the strong can gain a foothold in troubled times, and they must keep making themselves stronger, in this process, as long as they are a threat to themselves, shouldn't they be eliminated?
Yes, many of these people you are talking about have indeed contributed a lot to the rise of the Maori family, or are allies who have given strong support to the family, and even like Inoue Motokane, without him, there would be no powerful Maori family before. But they did become an unstable factor in the rise of the Maori family at some point in time, so I did that, and I eliminated them so that the Maori family could develop steadily, is there anything wrong with that?
You were just talking about my Mori family, but what about your Kuroda family? The former head of the Kodera family, the Daimyo Akamatsu family, the guardian of Harima Province, wasn't it the Kuroda family that perished? Urakami, Yamana, Miura, and countless large and small wealthy clans and countrymen's forces, weren't they wiped out by the Kuroda family? ”
"Yes, in the process of the rise of my Kuroda family, as you said, countless large and small forces have been defeated, but this family has never used despicable means to eradicate dissidents, and it is definitely a reward for meritorious heroes, and it has never done anything to execute meritorious heroes!" Kuroda said.
"No, then the Koji family, which was the original head of the Kuroda family, didn't end up becoming a vassal force of the Kuroda family," Mori Yuan said coldly.
"Lord Zuo Matou is wrong."
"Isn't that what went wrong?"
"Of course not, the Kuroda family has never been separated from the rule of the Kodera family at that time, even after occupying the entire Nishi-Harima country and occupying the country of Bizen, the strength is far higher than that of the Kodera family, and the family has never changed the identity of the Kotera family.
The family actually fled from Kitakyushu before.,A descendant of a samurai family.,My grandfather wasn't even a ronin at the time.,I could only barely make ends meet by collecting medicine and treating people.。 At that time, it was the Kotera family who took in the main family, and only then did the name of the Himeji Kuroda family come in.
Therefore, the kindness of the Kotera family to the Kuroda family, the Kuroda family will never forget. Just like there is a saying in the Ming Kingdom, I agree very much, that is, the grace of a drop of water must be reciprocated by a spring. The reason why the Kotera family became a subsidiary of the main family was also because of the subsequent Gosho Eiroku Rebellion, which actually had nothing to do with the Kuroda family.
The Kotera clan of the Kotera family is a brother to me, and the Kotera family has become one of the core of the family because of the marriage of the younger sister. Moreover, the Kotera family is now the acting official of the Tamba Province of the main family, and the daimyo level minister who manages 80,000 stones. Zuo Matou-sama, does Inoue Motokane-sama have such treatment? Kuroda asked.
Hearing this, Inoue gritted his teeth and looked at Maori Yuan.
"It's just a strong word." Maori Yuan shouted loudly.
"Lord Zuo Matou, my family will never be sorry for the people under my command, so whether it is a few uncles, important ministers, or lower-level ashigaru and ordinary people, I dare not say that I am grateful to Dade, at least I don't have too many complaints about my family. And in the territory of the family, you can rest and recuperate with peace of mind.
The retainers and samurai of the family, the affiliated wealthy clans, and the countrymen were able to receive the corresponding land and money and food rewards through their merits. Even if the retainer samurai and ashigaru of the family die, their families will be relieved, and they will also be able to get a good compensation, so that the deceased's family can live a normal life without worrying about their future life. With such a guarantee, they can be able to take life and death for their family with peace of mind.
And the ordinary people in the territory of the family, what I am talking about here also include the displaced people who have entered the territory of the family one after another. Because of the relatively low tax burden of the family, and without the layers of exploitation by the lords at all levels below, although the life is not particularly good, at least through their own labor, they can support themselves and their families, and there is no worry that they will starve to death at any time.
They are also human beings, and they also have their own needs, and only in the Kuroda family can they enjoy their current life, so they are willing to contribute their strength to the Kuroda family. That's what I just said about the human heart. That's why, when you and I were at war, the family stayed in the end, and the Maori family became the stepping stone for the family, which is also the biggest source of confidence for me to compete for the world. After Kuroda Vocational High School finished speaking, he looked at Mori Yuan and said no more.
"San Lang." Maori Yuan said.
"Hey!"
"I already understand what Kuroda-sama meant, and Minbe-sama has already explained it to me in great detail, so I already understand that there is no reason for the family to continue to resist, so the Maori family will surrender to the Kuroda family! The main family lost, and such a Kuroda family is not something that my Maori family can defeat. Mao Liyuan shook his head and said.
