I don't know if you remember that when Kuroda was relatively young, he bought Li Sanbao, a blacksmith in the Ming Kingdom who had the ability to develop weapons, as a slave. Because of Li Sanbao's crossbow making technology, the Kuroda family began to study hand crossbows under the instruction of Kuroda Vocational High School.

When this representative weapon of the Kuroda family first appeared, Imate Tomoji, as a representative of the traditional samurai, was extremely disgusted with weapons such as the hand crossbow, and he once used this weapon to be inconsistent with the spirit of bushido, so he took several family samurai of the Kuroda family who had the same idea, knelt on the ground outside Kuroda Castle Honmaru and asked Kuroda to abolish the use of hand crossbows.

At that time, the head of the Kuroda family, Kuroda Zhitaka, was somewhat unsure of his own younger brother, as well as the first samurai under his command, and the forced palace of many important ministers.

On the one hand, he is the heir Kuroda Zhigao, who he has relied on very much, and on the other hand, his younger brother Itetomo and his subordinate ministers, if one is not handled well, it may cause irreparable losses to the Kuroda family, and he can't afford the losses on either side.

Kuroda knows the importance of the crossbow to the Kuroda family, but sometimes, as the leader of a force, there are indeed a lot of things to consider, and it does not mean that everything can be carried out smoothly according to his own requirements, which is Kuroda's helplessness at that time.

In the end, it was Kuroda who was highly skilled, and directly asked people to tell everything to Kuroda Shigetaka, the old lord of the Kuroda family who had retired, and he personally stepped out to tell the Itetomo clan and the Kuroda family samurai kneeling on the ground that the hand crossbow was one of the keys to the rise of the Kuroda family, and the degree of importance even exceeded that of the Imate Tomoshi and these samurai.

The Kuroda family will definitely be equipped with a sharp weapon like a crossbow, and if the Itetomo clan wants to commit suicide, they will commit suicide for the sake of the spirit of bushido. Old man Shigetaka Kuroda spoke, and in the end, the young Imate Tomoshi could only admit it.

This was an experience of Imate Yuji when he was younger, and now he doesn't know why, but when Joi Asaba died under the attack of many firearms and crossbow arrows, he remembered what happened at that time.

He has long known that his long-range weapons are a nightmare for samurai, and now in front of his eyes, his strength is only one level weaker than him, but in the entire Wa country, the martial arts are the top of the castle Asahiro, so he died in the hands of firearms and crossbows, and the Iteyu clan actually felt a little sad that the rabbit died and the fox died.

What he had been pursuing all his life was the highest realm of martial arts, which was an existence that was even higher and stronger than the Sword Saint realm, but he was sure that even if Tsukahara Bu Chuan was here, he would definitely not be the opponent of the hundreds of long-range soldiers of the Kuroda family. If this is really the case, what is the point of the pinnacle of martial arts that he is pursuing?

However, there is nothing to do about what has just happened, because Joi Asaho is his opponent, and even if he admires the courage of this young man, he can only watch him and lose his life like this. He can't say that this young man is a martial arts wizard, his bones are strange, don't kill him, he always speaks and does things from the position of the Kuroda family.

But there is one thing that the Imate Tomoshi knows, that is, when the castle water Asafa left Honmaru, no, in fact, when he left the castle valley castle to attack the Kuroda family's siege team, he was already determined to die. This young man is indeed an admirable child with the spirit of bushido.

Having said that, a samurai sacrificed his life with his own weapons, for his own family, for his own family, and the horse leather shroud was the fate of the samurai, perhaps this is not a disappointment to the bushido spirit of the castle room, but the way of death is a little tragic.

The Iteyu clan walked in front of the castle home, and several soldiers of the castle family saw that their powerful young master was not the opponent of the Kuroda family's iron cannon just now, so some of them were just standing in place, looking at this side from a distance, and some wanted to save their young master, and they were a little scared, so they didn't dare to step forward.

"What do you want to do...... Do not insult the young master. "A soldier of the Joi family, he has long seen that the Imate Yushi is the Kuroda family samurai who defeated his young master during the day, and he knows that he is definitely not the opponent of the other party, but he still rushes over without hesitation because he is grateful for the care he took before the Joi Asafa.

Because Imate Tomoshi was in front, the Kuroda family's long-range team did not dare to continue shooting, and could only look for targets in other directions.

And the soldiers of the Joi family saw that the Kuroda family's iron cannon was no longer firing, so they all rushed desperately towards the position of the castle home, intending to repel the Imate Yushi and the Kuroda family samurai such as Imate Tomokiyo and Goto Kikuni around him, as well as the three hundred personal guards of the Imate Tomoshi clan.

It's just that Imate Tomoshi is so easy to beat? Of course not, Ite's spear in one hand, just three shots, killed the Joi family soldiers who rushed to the front, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to protect the body of Joi Asahata, when Imate Yushi approached him, he had already lost his life.

At dawn, under the battle between the castle town and a group of Utsunomiya family source samurai, coupled with the high terrain of Honmaru, they finally resisted the attack of the Kuroda family.

Originally, there were more than 3,000 defenders in Chengjing Valley Castle, but now there are less than 300 soldiers who continue to resist in Honmaru with Chengjing Town. A small number of them resolutely resisted and were beheaded by Coefficient.

Most of the soldiers begged for mercy on their knees and became prisoners of the Kuroda family in order to survive, and they would be sent to the Kuroda family's various gold and silver mines to participate in labor reform.

Two days later, Honmaru did not break it, and with the pride of the Utsunomiya family of Bunzen Kuni, Joi Zhenbo led his family and people of the same clan to seppuku in the Imperial Pavilion and burned the Ogura colored paper as a family treasure, and set the Imperial Pavilion on fire.

The Ogura colored paper that the Utsunomiya family values very much, in Kuroda's opinion, has no effect, it is just a fancy paper on the surface, but it has no other effect.

Kuroda Vocational High School has been in the Wakoku for so many years, but in his heart he still can't agree with the so-called culture of Wakoku, whether it is the tea ceremony, or the flower arrangement, the monkey music, the Noh opera, and the song, these are all things that he has not been able to understand and accept.

Even if Kuroda Vocational High School is for political purposes, Kuroda Vocational High School is still somewhat involved, but even so, he is forced to do it, and he is helpless from the heart.
