Chapter Ninety-Eight: Kuroda's Thoughts on Vocational High School
"Are you not satisfied?" Faced with Akizuki's hesitation, Kuroda Zhigao's expression immediately became serious and asked.
"My lord, that's not the case, I'm no longer the lord of Chikuzen, Akizuki is planted, I'm just an ordinary samurai under the command of the Kuroda family, as long as it's the order of the lord, there's nothing to hesitate about, and I've thanked the lord for his grace." After saying that, Akizuki Tanemi immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully to Kuroda Zhigao.
Kuroda only nodded at his performance, he appreciated Akizuki Taneshi's words very much, this is a person who understands current affairs, and can see the current situation clearly. did not choose to surrender to the Otomo family because of the destruction of the city, but came directly to the relatively stronger Kuroda family, hoping to use the Kuroda family's means to help him regain the original land, and also be able to correct his position.
After sending off Akizuki Taneshi, Kuroda immediately recruited all the minor surnames and attendants, and sent them all out, each with their own tasks to complete.
This time, it seems that the Otomo family came prepared, thanks to Akizuki Tanemi secretly came to report the news, although he had his own purpose, but there is no doubt that his move did a great favor to the Kuroda family.
Kuroda Vocational High School looked out of the corridor, just now the sun was covered by a cloud, so I couldn't see too strong light, now the cloud has been blown away by the breeze, and the sun's light is directly sprinkled down, and Kuroda Vocational High School can't open his eyes.
Many times Kuroda vocational high school thinks that he has done a good job, at least the Kuroda Kanbei in history, at his age, although he is also the head of the Kodera family, but he lives with five thousand stones of Himeji Castle, and has been living cautiously in the shadow of Akamatsu Masahide, until a few years later, the monkey brought his own army into the anchor mill country, and he obtained the qualification to be promoted by serving the monkey.
He has now taken the position of his father Kuroda and has become the Daimyo of the Kuroda family of more than 3.5 million stones, and the entire Western Kingdom is the leader of a great force that is unmatched.
But the higher he goes, the more he feels that he is in danger and must keep going, whether it is the Oda family, the Otomo family, the Honganji Temple, and Matsunaga Shu around him, or the old turtle, the Takeda family, the Uesugi family, the Satake family, the Date family, and the Ashina family in the farther places, the higher he stands, the more enemies there seem to be.
As he talked about when he and Matsui Shigetaka were chatting at Akama Seki before, Kuroda Vocational High School seems to be in a hurry, and perhaps all his performances are based on this situation. The affairs of the world, the way of division and harmony, Kuroda Vocational High School comes from later generations, and it is clear that the current world has been at a historical turning point from division to peace, and only one person can finally get to that position.
Whether it's himself, Oda Nobunaga, tortoise, monkey, twenty years, or Matsunaga Shu, Ashina Mori, Onisatake, Mogami Yoshimitsu, or Matsujumaru, Tokugawa Iemitsu, Oda Nobutada, because of their own appearance, a lot of history has changed, as long as the winner is not decided in the end, it is possible for anyone to take that position.
The so-called troubled times, in fact, are also the era of heroes, only people with a strong heart, people who have tragic experiences so they have their own obsessions, can leave their names in such tragic times.
Isn't it a miracle that Monkey, a so-called peasant-born youth (whose father was also a low-ranking samurai), was able to reach the position of a man in the world through his own abilities and various opportunities?
Of course, so Kuroda Vocational High School does not want the Kuroda family to be defeated by any force because of temporary laxity, as long as it loses, this myth of the Kuroda family is likely to be shattered.
Now the situation is relatively good, at least before the Otomo family attacked, the Kuroda family had received the news in advance, and the Nagato country, which was taken as the main direction of attack, was already ready, but Matsui Shigetaka must have made various arrangements in private, which Kuroda Vocational High School absolutely believed in him. It's just that Kuroda is not sure how much of a role the arrangement can play.
However, Matsui Shigetaka's men in Nagato and Zhoufang are only about 8,000 people, and even the number of Tuntian soldiers after screening is only more than 11,000 people, if the Otomo family really came with a large army. If it is only 10,000 people, it is likely that it is not the opponent of the Otomo family, but the Otomo family has an iron artillery team of 2,000 people, and the Kuroda family still has a fight with the 1,700 long-range soldiers stationed in Nagato Province.
Personally led 5,000 men and horses to support Nagato Province, and the reason why Kuroda Vocational High School sent so many people was to assign people from all sides of the Kuroda family, and at the same time to convey the news obtained this time to the commanders of the legions, and convey to them his arrangements for them.
The reason for this is because Kuroda Vocational High School instinctively feels that this matter is not so simple, and after the Otomo family, it is likely that there are other conspiracies waiting for him.
Because there are already 10,000 people from Matsui Shigetaka, Kuroda Vocational High School does not want to mobilize too many people this time, after all, the Kuroda family has 18,000 people in Southern Kyushu this time, which means that because of the affairs of Kyushu, the Kuroda family has been restrained by at least 28,000 people.
However, the Kuroda family is not only a hostile territory such as Kyushu, but also the Bessho family, Honganji, Oda family, and Matsunaga family in the east, so it is definitely not to be taken lightly.
There are still more than 20,000 people in the Kuroda family's own territory, and the rest are 4,000 people from the Kuroda Kodera family in the east, 3,000 people from the Muri family, 3,000 people from the Kodera family, and 3,000 reserve peasants, which are all the people of the Kuroda family who have not been put into battle at present.
Kuroda Vocational High School is going to go in person this time, this is the decision he made after consulting with Sanada Masayuki, Kuroda Vocational High School will take 5,000 people with him, plus the people and horses that converge along the road, and finally when he arrives in Nagato Province, he should be able to put together a team of about 6,500 people.
And Sanada Masayuki will secretly take 9,000 people to the eastern mountains of Tajima Province, where Tanba Province, Tango Province, and Higashi Harima Province meet, to hide in the mountains of Tajima Province to prevent a possible attack from the east, and the remaining 10,000 people of the Kuroda family, as well as 3,000 reservists, will be led by Kuroda Yoshitaka to defend Kuroda Town and serve as a rescue for the four sides.
Most of the well-known samurai of the Kuroda family, such as Miyata Mitsuji, Tsuchihi Yahachi, Sasaki Nagahide, and Umino Nobuyoshi, were taken to Nagato Province by Kuroda Vocational High School, and the rest were basically taken away by Sanada Masayuki.
