After the war, the Shimazu family immediately returned to the territory of the Ryogari family, and all the young and middle-aged people who could be taken with them, as well as wealth and materials, were all packed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After that, the Shimazu family's army broke through the Sagara family's Reedhoku-gun, and quickly inserted into Yamaura Castle, Amakusa County, the land of the Amakusa family, the Daimyo of Higo Province. For the Shimazu family in southern Kyushu, the Amakusa family still knows that it is powerful, so for the first time, they chose to strengthen the wall and implement the cage city on the Shimazu family.

This Amakusa family is a powerful wealthy family in Higo Country, a small local daimyo, and the Amakusa Rebellion that occurred in history took place in the territory of the Amakusa family, but that Amakusa Shiro Shizhen is not a child of the Amakusa family, just a fake name of the Amakusa family.

The current governor of the Amakusa family is Amakusa Kusane, one of the people of the Amakusa Clan Shimahara and the Amakusa Islands after the Amakusa clan is fertilized, and he is also one of the five people of Amakusa, the largest force in Amakusa County, and Amakusa Kusa is the fifteenth generation of the Amakusa clan.

As mentioned above, Amakusa Prefecture is actually a general term for the Amakusa Islands, which is actually a county consisting of Oura, Yokoko, Oyaono, Shiki, Sento, and the Ichichi Islands, with a total of 50,000 koku. However, the Amakusa family still has a part of its territory in the Shimabara region of Hizen Province, which is the place where the Shimabara Rebellion broke out.

In the second year of Motokame (1571 AD), Amakusa Kusa was baptized together with his wife, and his own brother Amakusa Tane was the executor of their baptism. It can be said that one person is baptized, and the whole family enters Christ.

The news that Amakusa Hisashi was attacked by Shimazu Yoshihisa spread quickly, and as one of the Amakusa Five, the five of them have always been offensive and defensive in order to resist external attacks. Now that the Amakusa family, which has been planted by Amakusa for a long time, has been beaten, the Shiki family, the Oyano family, the Kamizuura family, and the Sumoto family, which are the other four families, can not be calm immediately.

Because in their understanding, as long as they want to attack them, they must have plans for Amakusa-gun, and the Shimazu family does have ideas about Amakusa-gun.

Amakusa Prefecture is bordered by Hizen Province to the north, Satsuma Province to the south, and Higo Province to the right, and is strategically located. This time he came to attack Amakusa Castle, because Shimazu Iehisa took a fancy to this strategic location and instructed Shimazu Yoshihisa to use this place as a basis for the continued development of the Shimazu family.

But the Amakusa Five, who are the head snakes of the land, will never allow such a thing to happen, because if the Shimazu family really gains a foothold here, then the first thing to clean up is them, the powerful local wealthy families and countrymen, there is no doubt about it.

This time, the Amakusa Five decided to meet the powerful Shimazu family, and the Shiki Town Sutra, which is the head of the Five people, is the sixteenth generation head of the Shiki clan in Amakusa County, and the lord of Shiki Castle in Higo Province.

The current Shiki clan is ostensibly an independent local daimyo like the other four clans, but in fact he is a vassal force of the Otomo clan. It is precisely because he has his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade that he can become the pen head of the Amakusa Five, in fact, he Shiki Clan is not the most powerful force among the Five.

Historically, after the Battle of Ogawa in the 6th year of Tensho (1578 AD), with the decline of the Otomo family, it was subjugated to the Shimazu family. But because of the strong rise of the Kuroda family, this time Shiki Zhenjing decided to have a good exchange with Shimazu Yoshihisa, the lord of his history for a long time in the future.

Oyano Taneki is the eleventh generation head of the Oyano family, the lord of Miura Castle on Oyanojima, he himself is a samurai with the entry strength of a quasi-sword hero, don't look down on this entry-level, and the Kuroda family's Mibu Kyoshiro, Takeuchi Hisakatsu, and Kage Yoshinaga are not comparable to such perverts, but in the face of the three or five samurai of the ordinary daimyo alone, he will never be soft.

The strongest thing about Oyano Taneki at the moment is that the sword hero Marume Nagae temporarily lives in his territory, and at the same time, there are three of his would-be sword master apprentices Marume Shousai, Marume Kibei, and Kino Kuro Uemon (it seems that the quasi-sword master is no longer valuable).

Marumme Nagae was born in the 9th year of Tenten, 1540 A.D., in Yashiro Castle, Hachishiro County, Higo Province, within the Sagara clan, to the daughter of Marome and Miemon Captain and the daughter of Mamoru Akaike Izumori of the wealthy clan. His father is a fellow swordsman of the Sagara family, Maru Mesemi, which means that our swordsman was originally from the kendo family.

At the age of fifteen, Motofu resisted the attack of the Shimazu family, and at the age of sixteen, he practiced the art of war with the lord of the wealthy clan of Higo Amakusa County, the lord of Honto Castle, Amakusa Izumori.

Interject here, the Amakusa family is also a kendo family, although there is only such a quasi-junior figure as Amakusa Izumoru Mamoru , but after all, there are also powerful characters who are not, and the Amakusa family rests is also the body of Southern Kyushu, and almost the whole family practices.

The historical Shimabara Amakusa Rebellion, the many ronin samurai in the area, and the shogunate army that were able to defeat tens of thousands of people together with ordinary people, in addition to receiving a large number of firearms support from the Nanban, is also inseparable from the martial arts inheritance that these people themselves obtained from the Amakusa family.

In the first year of Eiroku (1558 AD), Marume Nagae Kamiraku studied under the founder of Shin-Yin-ryu and the sword saint Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, who was also the founder of Shin-Yin-ryu and after Tsukahara's Buden, to learn the art of war of Shin-Yin-ryu. Later, Marume Nagae followed Nobutsuna Ueizumi to demonstrate the art of war in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the Muromachi shogun, and later obtained the Shinyin Ryu Seal. In the "Martial Arts Biography of the Honcho Dynasty", it is recorded that Marume Nagae was once appreciated by Emperor Shokin-cho and became a "samurai in the north of the forbidden court", which explains the fact that he was once an official in the palace.

After Marume Nagae learned something, he returned to Higo Country, and later under the mediation of his uncle Marume Semi, he became an official of the Sagara family, and was appreciated by Sagara Yoshiyo, and became the Sagara family's new Yinliu Art of War guide.

In the twelfth year of Eiroku (1569 AD), Shimazu Yoshitora, the lord of Izumi Castle in Satsuma Province, attacked Sagara's Oguchi Castle. Although Marumme Nagae fought bravely, he was defeated with the Sagara family, and Oguchi Castle, which had been defended for a long time, fell into the city.

After the defeat, Sagara Yoshiyo believed that Marumme Nagae Nagae was responsible for the defeat in this battle, so he punished him and exiled him, and Marume Nagae also became a ronin, breaking off his long-held dream of becoming a Sagara family general.

After Marume Nagae became a ronin, Oyano Taneki, as a character who also liked kendo, accepted Marume Nagae and provided him with basic living support.

Oyano Taneki is the strongest of the five Amakusa people, and his command includes the lord of Hezu Castle, the lord of Hetsu Mountain, the lord of Oya Castle, the lord of Oya Yasu, the lord of Iwaya Castle, Iwaya Takamasa, the lord of Peixia Castle, Genhachiro Naosada Peishita, and the lord of Desert Island Castle, Harada Tanekiyo, and others.
