Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Shimizu Family
In the Imperial Pavilion of Koyama Castle, Kuroda accepted the demotion of these little wealthy families with a smile, and said again the conditions such as the transfer of the seal that they had already known. The heads of the Hao clan www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion said again and again, no matter what they think, other words can only rot in the stomach, now is the critical time to preserve the continuation of the family, but it is not the time to mention conditions, haven't you seen that even the Mimura family and the Ishikawa family have been wiped out?
After that, the Kuroda family had to face in preparation for China, and only Narazaki Motokane, Ueda Iemi, the Shinmi clan and Tajibe clan of Eiga County in the north, and the Shimizu family where Shimizu Yoshitora was located.
Among them, the Shimizu Village of the Shimizu family is the closest to Koyama Castle, so it has also become the first target of the Kuroda family, and the army of the Kuroda family has come to the city of Shimizuso in less than half an hour. Shimizu Yoshito, the daughter of the Shimizu family, accompanied Yamamoto Takaquan into Shimizu Village to persuade him to surrender.
Before the Shimizu Sect came over, Shimizu Jihu and Yamamoto Takatsu sat quietly in the middle of the assessment room, waiting for the Shimizu family to summon them.
"Oh! The two of you have arrived! I'm really sorry, the old man is late, so the distinguished guests of the Kuroda family have been waiting for a long time. As soon as the Shimizu Sect walked into the assessment room, he smiled at the two and said, followed by the four important ministers of the Shimizu Sect, the Shimizu Xingzong, the Shimizu Zongzhi, and the Namba Zongzhong.
"Lord Zuo Jin, it's too polite, in the Shimotokuda family, Yamamoto Takaquan, I have seen Lord Zuo Jin's general and all the adults." Yamamoto Takashi bowed to the Shimizu Sect, and then said respectfully.
"Kuroda Shimizu Yoshitora has seen Lord Zuojin and all the adults." Shimizu Jihu was also like Yamamoto Takashi, respectfully saluting to everyone, her father Shimizu Zongzhi smiled and shook his head, this girl really can't be kept!
"I don't know why the two adults of the Kuroda family came to my Shimizu family this time?" Qing Shui Zong, who was already sitting at the top, said with a smile, still holding a folding fan in his hand, probably because the weather was too hot, he was fanning this fan constantly but slowly.
"Lord Zuo, the head of the family, Kuroda Danmasa, sent me and others to persuade the Shimizu family to surrender to the family, so as not to cause more killings in the family." Takaquan Yamamoto said respectfully.
"Oh! Will you convince the Honke to surrender to the Kuroda family? Judging from the current situation, the unification of China by the Kuroda family is almost irreversible. And the old man also has to admit that the current Kuroda family is indeed very powerful. But Lord Taka Yamamoto, the old man wants to ask, my Shimizu family is now a registered retainer of the Maori family, why do you want to submit to the Kuroda family with the current position of the main family? Qing Shui Zong said with a smile.
The Shimizu Sect folded the fan twice, squinting at Yamamoto Takaquan, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, so that the Shimizu family could get more benefits after subduing the Kuroda family.
"Lord Shimizu, may I ask how high is the Shimizu family's skill stone?" Yamamoto Takaquan suddenly asked at the Shimizu Sect.
If he wanted to talk about this question, in fact, he already knew the answer, but it was just deliberate. Not to mention how much land the Qingshui family has, it is the concubine where the Qingshui Sect slept last night, the kind of posture used, and how long it took to do it, and now they can accurately tell everyone in the Qingshui family, but no one should be interested in these!
"The Shimizu family's ability is eight thousand stones, and the old man thinks that with the Kuroda family's intelligence ability, he should already know it, right?" Qing Shui Zong asked solemnly.
"The family does know, but I just want to confirm it from the Zuojin General. Is the land of the Shimizu family's 8,000 stones? The Kuroda family could only let the Shimizu family keep 4,000 koku, and they had to be transferred to Waki County in Bizen Province. Yamamoto Takaquan also said seriously.
"What? Four thousand stones, bastard, did the Kuroda family think that the Shimizu family really didn't dare to fight? Shimizu said excitedly.
"Well, the old man would like to hear how Yamamoto-sama explains." Shimizu Sect closed the folding fan and stared straight at Yamamoto Takaquan.
Yamamoto Takuzen did not avoid Shimizu Sonori's eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a smile: "According to the report of the ninjas of the family, the Shimizu family went out to Matsuyama Castle with the Maori family!" ”
"This ...... Indeed it is. Qingshui Sect said with a little embarrassment, but as an old man who had been in charge of a big family for a long time, he immediately returned to his normal appearance, he thought that he had not been discovered by Yamamoto Ryuquan, in fact, everything did not escape Yamamoto Ryuquan's eyes.
"I also know that there are a total of 300 people from the Shimizu family who went out with the Maori family, and there are a total of 232 returnees, and there are only more than 310 defenders in Shimizu Village at this time, so what I said is not wrong! Near the left is the general eunuch. Yamamoto said with a smile.
"What?" Shimizu Sect sat there, and on the surface he could guarantee his composure, but Namba Sect couldn't keep his composure, and stood up directly in surprise.
You must know that this number is completely correct, not even a person is bad, even the Shimizu family only a few people know the news. Now this envoy of the Kuroda family actually casually said these figures, which really made Namba Munetashi a little unacceptable.
"I wonder what other requirements the Kuroda family has?" Qing Shui Zong said with a frown.
"The lord also said that he asked the Shimizu family Shimizu Soji to enter the family and become a direct minister of the Kuroda family, and there were no other requirements." Takaquan Yamamoto said respectfully.
"That's it?" Qing Shui Zong said with some surprise.
"Yes, Lord Zuo Jin, the conditions of the Kuroda family have been all said, and there are no other requirements, so I hope that Lord Zuo Jinjian and all the adults here can carefully think about the requirements of the Kuroda family, and be sure to make the final correct decision after careful consideration." Takaquan Yamamoto said as he looked at everyone.
The Shimizu Sect just nodded, the Shimizu family was a vassal of the Maori family before, and they had done it against the Maori family and the Kuroda family, even if most of the land was cut, it was normal, not to mention the situation of their own family, the Kuroda family knew everything about it, even if it was a cage city, it was estimated that there was no chance of winning, and it would only make the Shimizu family completely decide.
As for the Kuroda family's request to let Shimizu Soji enter the Kuroda family and become a direct minister, it is actually normal, and Shimizu Soji feels that this is actually just a hostage in disguise, but what he doesn't know is that it is actually because Shimizu Soji is the only famous general of the Shimizu family known to Koji Vocational High School, and it is also a famous general of the Maori family who was forced to commit suicide by the flooding of Matsuyama Castle by the Kuroda Kanwei in history.
