Chapter 142: Marching into Anyun
Kind people, the Kuroda family will definitely guarantee their safety. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As for some other small wealthy clans and countrymen, as long as they are willing to submit to the Kuroda family, the Kuroda family accepts their submission. And those who were unwilling to surrender were all wiped out by the Kuroda family, without mercy.
The Kuroda family acted very quickly, and the Boqi country was also like the previous Misaku country, the power of the wealthy clan and the people of the country was very scattered, and it was defeated by the Kuroda family, and because of the deliberate information blockade, until the Kuroda family controlled the entire Boqi country, the Maori family did not get any news.
Of course, Yoshikawa Motoharu doesn't care about the life and death of these Boqi people, but this time he played a little big, and now he almost dug a big hole for himself, and soon this pit should appear in front of his eyes.
Almost at the same time that Matsui Shigetaka occupied the province of Hakugi and Yoshikawa Motoharu was still fighting in Izumo Province, the 20,000 men and horses led by Kuroda Vocational High School had successfully landed in the Nishiura region of Bigo Province.
There's a reason why you chose to log in here.
This time, Kuroda Vocational High School did not use all 20,000 horses to intercept it, but divided 10,000 of them, and entered Yazumi Province through Mihara Street, north of the Nishiura region, through Mihara Street, north of the Nishiura region.
Although there are 10,000 people on this road, in fact, there are only more than 1,000 people in the elite of the Kuroda family, and the rest are all wealthy people from Shikoku.
Mihara Street is the only way connecting Bigo Province to the mountain castle of Yoshida-gun, Takata-gun, Azumi Province, and it is also the shortest road. The 10,000 troops led by Tsuchihi Yahachi were ready to follow this road, all the way to the mountain castle of Yoshida County, the residence of the Maori family.
At this time, the Mori family, because Mori Terumoto led 18,000 people out of the Kuroda family, so the territory was almost exhausted, and the troops were empty.
Even the mountain castle of Yoshida County, which is the nest of the Maori family, only has 500 troops left behind, and the Anyun country is now plus the garrison forces of various wealthy clans and countrymen, and there are no 2,000 regular men and horses in total. Even if there are 500 soldiers left behind by the deceased, they are all left behind for the sake of Maori Yuan's conservatism. If it were Maori Huiyuan, it would probably take at least 300 of them.
In addition, there are another 2,000 elite people of the Maori family, who are deployed in Nagato to deal with the possible attack of the Otomo family, and then there are 2,000 reserve people in the Iwami country, and the rest of the Maori family's territory is almost a military blank space. For such a Maori collar, as long as the Kuroda family can break through a little, the rest of the place is almost what is needed.
After the 10,000 members of the Kuroda family entered the country of Yasaki, they marched rapidly all the way, almost without any pause, turning from Mihara Street to Tai Kurokawa Street, and went straight to Yamashiro in Yoshida-gun.
During the whole journey, a total of three cities were encountered, the three cities of Funaki, Nomi, and Sakamura were not big cities, they were just small towns owned by some small wealthy families and people, and now the lord has taken away almost all the soldiers in the family, and these three cities do not have much garrison strength, and almost only some old, weak, sick and disabled remain.
The two veteran generals of the Kuroda family, Tsuchihi Yahachi and Miyata Miyaji, joined forces, and their attacks were really like aggression, and the three weak cities were all slightly resisted, and they were captured under a wave of attacks by the Kuroda family. All those who dared to resist were killed on the spot.
After Tohi Yahachi, hundreds of old and weak women and children gathered behind Sakamura Castle, leaving 200 people from the four countries, led by Umibe Tomomitsu to guard Sakamura Castle. The other two cities, whose geographical location is not so good, and the scale is indeed smaller, were cremated to ashes and became nourishment for the coming year.
Tsuchihi Yahachi led the army without stopping, and after two hours of hurrying, he appeared directly under the castle of Yamashiro in Yoshida County. At this time, it was less than a day since he and Kuroda were divided into soldiers.
The soldiers are fast, this is a sentence that Kuroda Vocational High School ordered to Yahachi before they set off, and it is obvious that he has this sentence in his heart. The earliest group of old courtiers of the Kuroda family, but they all regarded Kuroda's words as holy decrees.
Yoshida-gunyama Castle was the residence of the Mori family, but Kuroda Vocational High School valued it not only as a base for the Mori family, but also as a place for the samurai families of the Mori family.
You are not mistaken, it is not life, it is a place of detention. The Maori family has always been very loose in its rule, and it has been compared to a group of companies that the parent company does not have strong control over its subsidiaries.
It's not that the Maori family wants this, and being able to rule the territory absolutely is definitely the wish of all Sengoku daimyos. Of course, the Maori family wanted to, even more than some of the big names.
The Maori family was originally the leader of a wealthy family and a national alliance organization, but in the process of a series of rises of the Maori family, he still did some immoral things, such as getting rid of Inoue Motokane, such as usurping the Liangchuan family, and such as the blood book and the verdict, and also about the wives and children of the wealthy families and the heads of the countrymen under his command.
Therefore, in order to control this loose alliance and consolidate the position of the leader of his alliance, there is no way to take all the main family members of these wealthy families and countrymen under his command to the mountain castle of Yoshida County to be imprisoned.
Just like the previous Yoshikawa family, among the Maori family, the big wealthy family who has hatred for the Maori family is not just the Yoshikawa family. In fact, Kuroda Vocational High School has already contacted some wealthy families and countrymen under the command of the Maori family through the Tongxin people, and promised them some conditions. The terms that were promised to them were not necessarily land, or gold, silver, or wealth, but only to avenge them.
Because many people, who have stayed in this precarious Warring States for a long time, know what kind of attitude they should show when facing each other. The Kuroda family is the overlord of the western country, and as long as they defeat the Mori family this time, they will inevitably become the undisputed number one force in the entire western country. So they know that when facing the Kuroda family, it would be better to lower their posture.
With this group of wealthy families and countrymen who know the current affairs as internal responses, as long as the Kuroda family can capture the mountain castle of Yoshida County, rescue their families by the way, and then give certain conditions, these people are willing to submit to the Kuroda family, and will do some dishonorable things for the Kuroda family.
Relatively speaking, the Kuroda family has fewer concerns in this regard. The main wealthy clans and countrymen in the Kuroda family's territory are all local forces that have previously surrendered to the Kuroda family, except for some people who have been accepted as direct ministers, the Kuroda family has put the rest under several major legions.
