"Even the shogun of the year, Ashikaga Takashi, was an amazing person, and he didn't do it. Could it be that Kuroda Vocational High School will be able to do all this? You must know how big the world is, how many forces there are, just one Kuroda family, even if he dominates the western country, how can he manage the entire world In the end, he didn't need these samurai to help him take charge of various places, and in the end, it would be the same as now. What if the world is unified? It's just a cycle. ”

"You...... It turns out that my father-in-law thinks so, and my father-in-law seems to know very well, if so, doesn't my father-in-law think that Ashikaga is not a great samurai? ”

"This ......" Shibata Katsuya certainly didn't dare to deny the achievements of the Ashikaga clan, after all, he was an epoch-making figure, and he was also a person who created the current historical pattern, how could he deny him, Takayama clan's rhetorical question was really very beautiful.

"If Kuroda Danzheng can do the better of the shogun Ashikaga Takaji, no matter how many hundred years later, what will be the final outcome? But to say the least, he will already be a very successful monarch, and the most important thing is that he is really willing to do something for the world, which is the most important thing.

Father-in-law, if the situation is becoming clearer and clearer, if you are willing to submit to the Kuroda family, and if you are willing to vouch for your father-in-law with your life, the Kuroda family will definitely treat your father-in-law well. My father-in-law is a well-known samurai in the world, and the Kuroda family has always been meritocracy, so I can definitely accept my father-in-law's allegiance. ”

When the Takayama clan said this, even the Shibata Katsu family was a little moved, after all, at this time, he had no hope of resisting, and the final result was inevitably to be wiped out by the Kuroda family, and a northern village castle could not become an obstacle to the Kuroda family's progress.

But as a traditional samurai, Shibata Katsuya still has his own pride, many people feel that the historical Shibata Katsuya did not have much loyalty, at first it was Oda Nobuyuki's subordinate, and then he was defeated and took refuge under Oda Nobunaga, and then he fought with our monkeys for the world, but in the end he lost.

As for what the actual history looks like, no one knows, after all, the history books are a little more than the actual history, because that history was originally left behind after a lot of falsification by the Toyotomi and Tokugawa families.

"Senbei, you know some things about me, I think I was under the command of Lord Shimo-Owari Oda Nobuyuki, and I once led the army to fight with Nobunaga in a bus battle. It's just that Nobunaga was a man with great perseverance, and in the end, even if there were more people on our side, we were not able to win that battle.

It stands to reason that an enemy samurai like me should have been killed directly by Nobunaga! But Nobunaga didn't do that, leaving me alive. And regardless of the past suspicions, I have been able to continue to lead the army to fight until now, and I have always been grateful to be able to sit in the position of the old man of the Oda family.

It's true that now the Kuroda family is powerful, and even has the momentum to sweep the world, there are some things that I can see clearly, and they can't be changed. But I still can't submit to the Kuroda family.

You also said that I am a traditional samurai, because as a traditional samurai, I have my own insistence, and I hope that you will be able to convey these words to Kuroda-sama at a later date. At the same time, I hope that Lord Kuroda can retain a little bit of the bloodline of the Oda family, even if it can only be used as a civilian life in the end, at least the bloodline of the Oda family can continue, which is the last loyalty to Nobunaga. ”

The Shibata Katsu family and the Takayama clan, who are now subordinate to the Oda family and the Kuroda family, respectively, were supposed to have a confrontation between Mars and the Earth before this army, but the final result was that the two sides were relatively harmonious.

As for the issue that Shibata Katsuya just mentioned, to be able to retain the bloodline of the Oda family, not to mention the Takayama clan, even the mother Sato Takatomo did not dare to have any behavior beyond the boundary, to decide this matter without authorization, and could only send someone to report this matter to Kuroda Vocational High School to know. And our pig's feet don't know why, but in the end we agreed to Shibata Katsuya's request.

As for Shibata Katsuie, he chose to continue to fight against his mother, and for Shibata Katsuie's choice, Kuroda Vocational High School as an opponent is also very admired, and in this case, he can still stick to his own path and not be disturbed by various temptations from the outside world, Shibata Katsuya is indeed an admirable samurai.

Shibata Katsuya and the events of Kitanosho Castle after that, we will not mention it here for the time being. We look back to the south. There, Matsui Shigetaka's army had already captured the entire Kii country, and Kii didn't have many forces that could stop Matsui Shigetaka's army.

You must know that with Matsui Shigetaka, there is a Kuroda family's Ming State Naval Army, which is an unrivaled naval army in this era, with sharp weapons such as flowering artillery, so the soldiers are all firecrackers, even on land, they are extremely sharp, of course, the Ming State Naval Army will not be dispatched under normal circumstances.

However, even if he does not rely on the Ming army, Matsui Shigetaka can rely on the 5,000 people under his command to achieve the extent that the entire Kii country is under his command, after all, there are still many capable generals under his command.

And the south of Kii Province is even easier, Kii Province has actually gone through a major purge of Matsunaga Hide, and now there are no too powerful wealthy clans in the whole country, the power of the countrymen, and the strength of the Oda family is not very strong here, and the Kumano Navy in the southernmost part of Kii Province Kumano Beach has now been transferred to Owari Province by Oda Nobutada to protect his own safety, so it can be said that Kii Country is a completely undefended command country.

Under the oppression of Matsui Shigetaka's army, Sawayama Castle, Saga Castle, Momijiyama Castle, Karaiya Castle, Tetori Castle, Hirasuka Castle, Ryumatsuyama Castle, Ataka Honjo, Kamamine Castle, Terachu Castle, and Kuki Castle, from north to south, although there was a lot of resistance, but the entire land of Kii Province completely fell into the Kuroda family's pocket in less than a month, and all that needed to be done after that was to pacify the place.

And the Ming navy, which was originally full of hope to be able to fight a big battle with the Oda family's navy, was also completely disappointed, and the Oda family's navy became a deserter, and it was a pity that they were not able to fight.
