Kawasaki Castle in Bei China and the Date family in Bi China have been lost in the dust of history, and if it weren't for the appearance of the book Date One-Eyed Dragon in Bi Chu, no one would have paid attention to whether Kawasaki Castle had appeared in Bi China.

People only know Kawasaki City in Kanagawa as a beautiful city.
It will only be known that Kawasaki Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., which provided the Japanese imperialists with air force equipment such as the Swift fighter, the Type 5 fighter, and the Type 1 transport plane, and also built the famous battleship Haruna and the aircraft carrier Kaga.
If you search for Kawasaki Castle in Baidu, you will only see Kawasaki Castle in Shimono Country, which is also an equally old castle.
Late at night, in the early morning of May 17, 1551, to be exact, in a small village west of the hill where Kawasaki Castle is located.
The announcement at the entrance of the village had the words Songrenzi Village, and there were not many residents in the village, only about 30 people, and they were soon stopped by more than 100 soldiers who hurried from Shixie Mountain City.
The more than 100 soldiers arrived in a hurry after getting off the ferry in a fishing boat after receiving a letter from Miyahara Tanbamori, accompanied by the one-eyed dragon Masahiro, the lord of the Date family.
A few torches were planted diagonally in the village, and the faint light of the fire illuminated the entire small village dimly.
Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and Iwase Kogoro had been waiting in the cold night breeze for several hours, and they had been waiting here since they had been approaching with letters of information about Kawasaki Castle, leaving behind more than 30 soldiers. The purpose of their stay here is ostensibly to wait for orders from Kawasaki Castle, whether it is Kawasaki Sahei or Mrs. Shin's, but secretly they are waiting for the arrival of Masahiro.
Dressed in neat cowhide armor, Masahiro walked into the thatched hut in the middle of the village, where a small fire pit crackled, and Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and Iwase Kogoro followed behind him.
First of all, Miyahara Tanba straightened his color and said solemnly: "Lord Date, I really didn't finish anything well this time to enter Kawasaki Castle, but it's time for the final battle tonight, whether Kawasaki Sahei wins or Kawasaki Shujiro succeeds, you must be the one who wins this castle in the end." As he spoke, he explained his original deployment and extraneous affairs, and finally asked Zhengheng to forgive him for making his own claims, falsely claiming to be the discretionary representative of the Date family.
Zheng Heng frowned, he didn't expect that he still had a fan, what a rarity! It's a pity, and he said: "This trip, you have made a great contribution, I have written it down, after the war, I will build a building on the original site of Miyahara Castle, if you want, you can also accompany Miss Satomi to live in the Irene Nest Mountain Castle, I will clean up a clean courtyard in the south of the Nimaru." β
Miyahara Tanba Mamoru was very excited when he heard Zhengheng's words, Kite Nest Mountain City is now the residence of Kyoyo, and it will also be an important city for a period of time in the future, it is really good to be able to have a courtyard in Kite Nest Mountain City, he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Thank you for the gift of Zheng Heng, Satomi will please all of you." "Miyahara Satomi is the granddaughter of Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and his only relative, Fang is 10 years old, and she is still an immature three-no little girl, who wants ass without ass and boobs without boobs, but Su zhì is quite good, she must be a pretty beautiful woman when she grows up, and she is also a virtuous and virtuous wife.
Masahiro said to Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and Kogoro Iwase, who were standing with their hands down, as well as Atsutaro Kiyokawa and Shibei Kusama, who came with him, "Tanba, Atsutaro, Kogoro, and Shibei sit down!" β
When everyone sat down, Zhengheng straightened his face, smiled, and said: "This time Kawasaki Castle, we came here to watch a good show, so we will do it after Kawasaki Castle finally decides the winner, Tanba Mamoru, if they ask you to make a move, then promise them, and when we get it, it's time for us to make a move." β
They replied, "Yes, Your Highness, then let's take a good look at this game." β
Zheng Heng waved his hand and walked out, looking at the sky in the night, the clouds were thick, he shook his head, and muttered in a low voice: "Kawasaki Sabei, don't let me down, if you can survive this storm, then you have the opportunity to become my retainer and work with me to exchange blood for Bei China." β
Kogoro Iwase came to the front of Masahiro and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, now the people of Kawasaki City are panicking, and the city is falling overnight, why?!" β
Masahiro glanced at Kogoro Iwase with one eye, and his face had become extremely grim. As soon as Kogoro Iwase saw that his face was wrong, his face immediately changed and he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Your Majestyβ"
Zhengheng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Kogoro, how much territory do we have now, how many castles do we have." β
Kogoro Iwase thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, if you count Kawasaki Castle and Shiroyama Castle, we have 5 stone castles together: Irabayama Castle, Kotani Castle, Stone Crab Castle, Omatsu Castle, and Kawasaki Castle, as well as 4 castles of Zhongshan Castle, Oniyama Castle, Koroyama Castle, and Shiroyama Castle, for a total of 9 castles. β
Zhengheng smiled and said, "Yes! Only a month has passed since we had nothing, and we already have 9 castles, but how many soldiers do we need to defend 9 castles, and how many do we have? β
When Kogoro Iwase heard this, he lowered his head and said, "This, Your Majesty knows that you are wrong, and Your Majesty should not make unrealistic demands." β
Zhengheng said to himself: "My family has a young samurai regiment, the oldest Nikaido Nobuhiro is only 52 years old and can work for more than 10 years, and the important minister of the family, Noyama Masato, is only 37 years old, which is the most vigorous age in life, others such as Taoshan Mabei is only 24 years old, Akagi Takao is 27 years old, Kiyokawa Atsutaro, Matsushima Yajiro, Iwase Kogoro is only about 20 years old, and there are many young samurai in the family, it can be said that the Date family's samurai regiment is a good time to open up the land, But there are too few soldiers who can help me achieve my ideals. β
He didn't say what his ideal was, but waved his hand to let Kogoro Iwase leave, and sat alone on a stone bench in front of the thatched hut and quietly looked at the sky.
Atsutaro Kiyokawa asked Kogoro Iwase in a low voice, but did not get any response, standing on one side to protect the safety of Mashiro, the man in front of him will be all their hopes, enough to protect the man with his life.
Zhengheng pondered, he did feel the biggest weakness of the Date family now, a weakness that was difficult to make up for in a short period of time, the lack of soldiers, yes, the lack of soldiers who could fight, a group of soldiers who could follow him and obey his orders. For the Date family, whose strategic goal was to dominate the two prefectures of Aga and Tetsuta, the number of samurai was sufficient, and as long as these young samurai had seen enough of the world to learn the art of war, he believed that he would be able to pick out some people who could move forward with him.
However, soldiers, to be precise, a group of soldiers who dare to fight and dare to fight, are not miscellaneous soldiers who go with the recruitment, and they need time and energy to cultivate.
It seems that the only consideration now is to expand the number of soldiers and horses, well, and let Hidecho Ueki of Saida and Shinmi Sadatsune of Kashijo find something to do, so that they can't keep their eyes on the Date family.
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded from behind him in vain, and when he looked back, it was Miyahara Tanba Mamoru who came.
