Chapter Forty-Eight: The Destruction of the Dragon Temple
In this troubled era of the Warring States, power represents everything, and the size of power also represents the size of a person's and a family's right to speak. Although the Nabeshima family is just a powerful and wealthy family in Hizen Country, at least it is also a land of tens of thousands of stones, and nearly 10,000 people have the power of life and death!
In order to compete for the position of family governor, Nabeshima Naoshige's father, the brother of the Kuroda family's samurai Nabeshima Kiyonobu, and the current Nabeshima family's family governor Nabeshima Kiyobo still used some dishonorable means. It's really immoral, but it's understandable. In the cruel era of the troubled times of the Warring States Period, for the sake of so-called power, or even for a reputation, killing fathers, brothers, and sons, is there still less to do? just used some despicable means, but did not kill Nabeshima Kiyonobu, Nabeshima Qingfang is actually a very gentle way to deal with it. Otherwise, not only will you be notorious, but you will also die, which is pitiful!
It's just that Naoshige Nabeshima would never have thought that his own uncle, who only took away a few relatives samurai who supported his family, regardless of the long distance, ran all the way to Harima Country in the western country, and took refuge under the command of a Kuroda family who had never heard the name at all.
When he learned the news back then, his father Nabeshima Kiyofu breathed a sigh of relief, because the position of the family governor was secure, and no one thought that Nabeshima Kiyonobu, who had taken refuge in the Kuroda family, could return to Kyushu.
And the truth is always unsatisfactory, in the past 20 years, this Kuroda family, who has never heard the name, is like a legendary plug-in bought for hundreds of dollars, killing pigs can drop equipment, equipment is directly recycled, cash arrives in a second, and the hang-up accidentally earns 2,000 yuan, this kind of advertising slogan that looks deceptive at first glance has become the number one force in the world.
Now the Kuroda family's 10,000-strong army is just south of his position, and to the west, there are 2,000 people and horses carried by the Kuroda family's Hizen Kuniku Akizuki Zhongshi and Tachibana Ken, and his precious uncle, this man who has a grudge against the family, and those kinship samurai, should now be in the Kuroda family's military array.
Because when the Kuroda family's main formation was just established, the Ryuzoji family had already sent people to reconnoiter on the side of the Kuroda family, and the number of people was indeed more than 10,000, but one thing that surprised the Ryuzoji family for a while was that the Ryuzoji family's Hosaku saw the Nabeshima family's banner and appeared in the Kuroda family's military formation. For this reason, Naoshige Nabeshima also went to Ryuzoji Takanobu and explained it well, my Nabeshima family is all good people, and the only bad guy is my uncle, and the one opposite is the bad guy.
Everything is already obvious, and there is only his uncle Nabeshima Kiyonobu, he is really here, and it should be revenge on the Nabeshima family, but I don't know how far he wants to go, is he going to completely destroy the current Nabeshima family and replace it himself?
Nabeshima Naoshige couldn't accept the fact that his uncle appeared here, and he knew that this was the biggest crisis of the Nabeshima family where he was located, since the appearance of the Heian period.
When his uncle was competing for the position of family governor, he formed a hatred for the family because of his father's irrationality. As long as Nabeshima Kiyonobu can defeat the Ryuzoji family with the Kuroda family, for the Nabeshima family, as long as Nabeshima Kiyonobu is willing, it will definitely be a bloody storm for the Nabeshima family in the future, and there is no need to have any doubts at all.
But there is no way, this is the reality, his uncle bet correctly and bet on the same hand as the dealer. That's a gamble, if you bet right, you can win everything, and if you lose it, you lose everything.
If the Ryuzoji family finally chooses to submit to the Kuroda family, it will not be too much of a problem for the rest of the Ryuzoji family, but because of this baby uncle of the Kuroda family, he will definitely be punished by the Kuroda family, at least everyone in the Nabeshima family will not die well.
Nabeshima Naoshige because of his precious uncle, so he resolutely disagrees with the submission of the Ryuzoji family to the Kuroda family, he has not been the head of the Nabeshima family for a long time, he still does not want to leave this wonderful world, he also wants to enjoy everything that power brings to him, so he must not be able to submit to the Kuroda family.
In the end, the Ryuzoji family has not been able to reach an agreement, until the army of the Kuroda family has entered the territory of the Ryuzoji family, and it has not been able to unify the thoughts of the people under its command, this is the trouble of the heavy minister's collegial system, which usually does not manifest itself, and when there are major matters that need to be decided, it is easy to disagree, and the Asai family was also poisoned by this system back then.
In the end, the grumpy Ryuzoji Takanobu saw that his subordinates were indeed unable to reach an agreement, and the Kuroda family had already captured two small galleys in his territory that were used for guarding, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.
In the end, Ryuzoji Takanobu still decided to fight with the Kuroda family with his army, even if he died in the battle with the Kuroda family, he didn't want to become a pawn under the opponent again, he was proud of himself as a character who had experienced the wind and rain.
Ryuzoji Takashin was originally an ambitious person, and he didn't like to be a person under the fence, which was inseparable from his suffering and childhood under the fence.
As the head of the Ryuzoji family, he is full of passion when he does everything, in fact, he himself was not sure whether to submit to the Kuroda family before, but now he has thought clearly, the Kuroda family does not need a disobedient vassal force, and he is definitely not a person who is willing to be mediocre, and it is not in line with his own heart to submit to others.
It took a month for the Kuroda family to pacify the Ryuzoji family, and Ryuzoji Takanobu was seppuku in the castle of Beppu Castle, and all five of the four kings of Ryuzoji were killed in battle, and Nabeshima Kiyonobu himself said that he had achieved revenge against the Nabeshima family, but he also died in the battle with Nabeshima Naoshige, and the Nabeshima family was finally inherited by Nabeshima Kiyonobu's eldest son, the Nabeshima high-rise house who came out of the training class.
When the Kuroda family eliminated the Ryuzoji family, the castle town knew that he would not be able to run this time, and the Kuroda family had already defeated most of Kyushu, and the independent forces that had not yet surrendered were the Matsuura Party and his own Bunzen country.
If you tell Chengjing Zhenfang at this time, hey! Brother, don't worry, the Kuroda family will never kill you, he will definitely use his Sasaki Genyu ancient art of war to beat you so that you can't take care of yourself.
