There is a big discrepancy between thousands of people and tens of thousands of people, which will cause a huge psychological gap between internal and external. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Standing in the middle and looking forward and looking backward and not seeing the end, the forward has just crossed the border between Chikuzen and Hizen countries, and the temple army is still taking care of the bags and setting off in the Toyozen country.

When the Date army appeared on the border of Hizen country, the father and son of the Ma clan in the group of fights woke up like a dream, and soon the news of the attack of the Date army spread throughout Hizen country, it was a terrible enemy, and the battle of Chikugo River that had just ended gave Hizen people a very intuitive feeling, and now they will fight against the powerful Date army, and it is inevitable to speculate in their hearts.

The commander of the Date Army, Katayama Hengcho, was the first leader of the small surname of Masahiro, and he was not much more than Kiyokawa Hengxiu, Matsushima Hengkatsu, Iwase Hengzhong and others, and he was even earlier than his father Katayama Moricho, and he was the real retainer of Masahiro.

It is said that in the Battle of Tsuruga on which Katayama Moricho became famous, it was Katayama Hirocho who faced tens of thousands of Kaga all the time, and under his leadership, he fought bravely to kill the enemy, which eventually led to the collapse of Kaga Ichicho.

Katayama has obtained the essence of the art of war, and in just a few years, he has already established the status of a good fighter, and has the qualifications of a famous general who is not inferior. Katayama's achievements have long been known all over the world, so if he really leads tens of thousands of troops to attack, the situation will be extremely serious.

It wasn't just that that surprised Arima, but the sudden appearance of the Date Army caught Arima even more off guard. At the same time, the spies sent by the Date Army were able to hide from Arima's eyes and ears, so that the Date Army was only warned when they arrived at the border of Hizen Province, and they knew that Katayama Hengcho was by no means an idle person and knew how to use spies.

Katayama Hengchang, who was supposed to be full of ambition, looked worried, he stood on a small hill, watching the columns pass in front of his eyes, and his face not only did not improve, but even more sorrowful.

Although Katayama was anxious, he was not depressed.

He is still full of confidence in the unification of the world by political balance, the Date army is strong, the strongest Warring States Daimyo Otomo clan in Kyushu has been torn apart, and none of the other forces is the opponent of the Date family, both sides are not opponents of the same level, and victory is within reach. However, what made him anxious was not the desperate Otomo clan, nor the father and son who were against the Ma clan, but a group of yellow-haired and blue-eyed "Southern Barbarians".

The so-called Nanban is the name given to Portugal, Spain, Italy and other countries that first arrived in the Wa Kingdom under the influence of Chinese Huayi Thought at that time. Most of these people entered the Wa Kingdom by boat bypassing the Cape of Good Hope and the Philippine Islands from the southern sea near Kyushu, so they were collectively called "Nanban". Later, the British and Dutch power spread eastward, and the Japanese people also called the British and Dutch people red-haired.

At that time, Europe was in the midst of the Reformation, and many countries had converted to Protestantism and freed themselves from the control of the papacy, and Catholicism had to turn to the East for markets. The missionary who introduced Catholicism to the Wa Kingdom was the Spanish Catholic Jesuit Francis Xavier. After arriving in Kagoshima, Satsuma of Wakoku, he received permission from the lord Shimazu Takahisa to preach there, and in the first year he developed 200 followers, and later preached in Hizen's Hirado, Shubo's Yamaguchi, and Bungo's Funai.

After more than 10 years of development, the diocese of Kagoshima, Hirado, Shimabara, Yamaguchi, Funai, and Sakai was formed, and there were tens of thousands of believers in Kiritan, but most of them were low-level people.

First of all, the Yamaguchi area was destroyed by Tao Qingxian, and the non-cooperative attitude of the Date family led to a serious blow to the local thriving Chechi Dan believers, coupled with the fact that the police station was unfair and impartial to the conflicts between believers, and favored the local religion, which brought the development of the Yamaguchi area to a standstill.

Then, around the time of the Date family's Kamiraku, the Rebellion broke out, and the other sects of Buddhism were severely attacked, destroying temples and destroying Buddhas, not to mention other religions. After the Date family went to Rakuraku, they rebuilt Mt. Hiei and rebuilt the Buddhist temple, but they repeatedly ignored Kishitan's requests, so Kiritan naturally put this account on the Date family.

The destruction of the house should be counted on the Nanban themselves, and they used hibiscus paste on the injured Otomo Yoshizhen, hoping to control Otomo Yoshizhen and make it convenient. In the beginning, it was a great development, and the rapid development of believers naturally infringed on the local religion, and due to the strong support of Otomo Yoshijin, the local religion dared not speak out. However, as Otomo Yoshijin fainted from his injuries, the local religious alliance of the low-level samurai immediately killed the Kiritan priests, Nanban merchants, and believers, and completely destroyed the church and Nanban trading houses in the prefecture.

The affairs in the house are completely the death of the Nanban themselves, and the Date family should not be blamed, but these Nanban people obviously don't see it this way, and the Otomo Yoshitown they want to control is beaten by someone who doesn't know whether they are alive or dead, the Date family.

Now that the Date family has invaded Kyushu on a large scale, it is no more important for the southern barbarians, especially the priests of Kishidan, to attack Satan and call on believers to defend the Lord, and according to the investigation, seven or eight thousand believers have gathered in the Shimabara area.

Katayama looked at a young man beside him and asked, "Nosuke, tell me what you think?" A look of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and his expression was quite serious for the young man in front of him.

This young man's name is Numata Yumitsu, the second son of the lord of Wakasa Kumagawa Castle, and after Katayama Morinaga became the lord of Tsuruga, he became a leader. When Katayama Hengchang organized the army to follow Masahiro to Kyushu, after receiving Katayama's affirmation, Numata Yumitsu went to Katayama Hengchang's account to obey orders. Yumitsu Numata gave him advice several times, and all of them got good results, which made Katayama Hengcho appreciate it very much.

Numata Yumitsu is a descendant of the Ueno Numata clan, and his clan migrated to Wakasa Province as early as the Minamoto Yoritomo period, becoming a minor lord in the Kumagawa region and the local guardian of the Takeda clan.

The Wakasa Takeda clan has reached the mediocre ability and serious infighting in recent generations, and the Numata clan has also fallen into civil strife, and Numata Yumitsu's father is also mediocre in ability, losing the Kamikumagawa River and the Shimokumagawa River successively, leaving only three or four villages in the Nakakumagawa. In history, he did a rare smart thing in his life, and sent his daughter to Hosokawa Fujitaka's house as a maid, Hosokawa Fujitaka once drunk and had sex, and her stomach was also angry, and she actually had a child, her child was the lord of the Bunzen Nakatsu domain in the later Edo period, and later moved to the lord of the Ogura domain, and the patriarch of the tea ceremony Sansai Ryu, Hosokawa Tadashi.

The question came out, Hosokawa Tadashi was the product of drunken disorder, how could this work, and immediately mentioned his biological mother to the location of Hosokawa Fujitaka's main room, so that the name was justified.

However, these things have little to do with Numata Yumitsu, and by the time Hosokawa Tadashi grew up, he had already been exiled to Okuhade Shishitsu to overcome obstacles.
