"Why? Why would the wise Kuroda-sama refuse my proposal, and does Kuroda-sama really want to exterminate the people of Kuroi Castle? Isn't Lord Minbe afraid of us and the others, and desperately resist when the city is broken, causing irreparable casualties to your Kuroda family? Akai Naomasa said in surprise.

"I think Akai-sama misunderstood, I have another idea." Kuroda said loudly.

"Another thought? Please let me know directly from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Akai Naomasa grabbed the battlements of the city wall and said excitedly.

"The conditions that Naomasa Akai said before will remain the same, and I will spare all the soldiers in the castle, I think this is what the adults want to see. But Akai-sama self-judged this one, I think adults forget it. You can become a retainer of the family, but I will give you the knowledge of 3,000 stone as I did when I first contacted you, I don't know what Akai-sama thinks? Kuroda said loudly.

"Kuroda-sama, thank you very much for your attention to the subordinates, but in the lower is a rough person, thanks to the appreciation of the Minbu-sama, in the lower is really grateful."

"Then Naomasa Akai agreed, didn't you?" Kuroda asked.

"That's not the case, and I ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to forgive me for not agreeing." This time it was Akai's turn to refuse, and Kuroda was surprised.

Speaking of which, Akai Naomasa and his retainers and soldiers have definitely reached the point of nine deaths, which is why Akai Naomasa wants to exchange death for other people's lives. So at this time, Kuroda Vocational High School proposed to bypass everyone's lives and give back to Akai Naomasa Sanchigoku Zhixing, which is definitely a great favor.

Therefore, in Kuroda's view, in the current situation, he can ignore his past suspicions, and when Akai Naomasa has already made a fierce resistance, he also threw out the conditions of 3,000 stones. At a time when the Akai family is exhausted and has no way out, it is definitely very tempting.

And you see, you want to use your own death to ask your family to spare your men. But now I, Kuroda Vocational High School, have not only spared your men, but also willing to give you a way to live, and have good submission conditions. Not only did he not blame you for resisting the Kuroda family before, but he also gave you a fief of 3,000 stones, how much the Kuroda family thinks of you!

However, in Kuroda Vocational High School's confident expectation, Akai Naomasa made it clear that he refused, which was really unexpected by Kuroda Vocational High School, and it was also difficult to accept, is it really as Akai Naomasa said, he is a reckless man, or a big fool?

"Lord Akai, five thousand stones, I am willing to use five thousand stones to recruit Your Excellency. Please think carefully before making a decision! Kuroda promised.

Since Akai Naomasa didn't accept the previous conditions, Kuroda Vocational High School immediately increased his weight, he felt that there was no one who really didn't submit, but his own conditions were not enough! And as a samurai who can be valued very much by Takeda Shingen, Akai Naomasa is indeed very capable. Not only does he have strong martial arts, but he also has his own set of charm in governing the army, which is what Kuroda likes in the high school. Because he is not just a fierce general, he is a rare handsome talent.

"I thank Lord Minbu for his kindness, but I still can't agree to my lord's conditions." Akai said resolutely.

"Father", "Lord", "Lord", "Lord", "Father......

At this time, the head of the castle of Honmaru fell to their knees, and they all hoped that Akai Naomasa would accept the favorable conditions offered by Kuroda Vocational High School.

"Lord Akai, in addition to five thousand stones, I also promise you to help you get the position of the governor of the Akai family." Kuroda Vocational High School said again.

"Okay, Lord Minbu, I am very grateful for the kindness of my lord, and I am fully aware of my lord's intentions for my lordship. I couldn't have imagined that when I was dying, I would be able to meet someone as confidant as Kuroda-sama, which was a blessing. ”

"Then why does Akai-sama insist on not returning to my Kuroda family?" Kuroda asked.

"Yes! Father, come down! There is hope only if you are alive. Akai Naoyoshi said almost with a cry, screaming.

"Akai-sama, my grandfather Shigetaka Kuroda once said that there is hope only if you live! Life is precious, so please consider it carefully. ”

"Thank you, Kuroda-sama, but when I was a child, I fled to Harima Province with my father, and I was taken in by the Akamatsu family at that time, and helped the family regain their skills, and I can't forget this friendship. And the Akai family of Kuroi City is about to die at the hands of the Kuroda family, and the kindness of the Akamatsu family, I can't repay it now, my death can not only save the soldiers under my command, but also repay the kindness of the Akamatsu family back then.

"In that case, as long as the others don't resist, I agree to your terms." After thinking about it for a while, Kuroda still agreed to Akai's conditions.

"Father, I will die with you!" Akai Naoyoshi walked up to Akai and knelt down in front of Akai Naomasa and said.

"Kumanosuke, I'm just your heir, you can't die, serve the Kuroda family well, and live well." Akai Naomasa said with a smile, and touched Akai Naoyoshi's head.

"I'm ......" Naoyoshi Akai almost cried when he heard this.

"Kumanosuke, promise me."

"Father, I will definitely serve the Kuroda family well and live well." Akai Naoyoshi finally couldn't hold back at the end and cried.

"Hmmm! Kumanosuke, you have always been a good boy, and the Akai family will be handed over to you in the future. ”

"Father, I see."

"Ladies and gentlemen, put down your weapons. Kuroda-sama, I will be seppuku here, and I ask Kuroda-sama to keep my promise. Akai said.

"Why does Akai-sama have to do this? It's too late to change your mind. I'm still 5,000 stones, and the governor of the Akai family is the lord of the family. "Kuroda Vocational High School wants to try one last time.

"I've made up my mind, and I ask Kuroda-sama to fulfill it."

"In that case, I respect Kuroda-sama's decision."

"Kuroda-sama, it's an honor to meet you, and if there is an afterlife, I'm willing to serve under you."

The famous Tanba Akagi in history committed suicide on this day in the Honmaru of Kuroi Castle, ending his short, continuous struggle for the Akai family, and it is not understood, but it is full of samurai glory.

At least in Kuroda's eyes, he was a great samurai. Kuroda Vocational High School personally held a solemn funeral for Akai Naomasa, and buried him on the land where he had struggled in front of him, and he could always see a small hill in Kuroi Castle. (To be continued.) )
