You should still know a little bit about the name of Chengjing Townhouse, at least you will hear about it.

Although he was a retainer under Otomo Sorin, in actual history, Joi Zhenbo was the Sengoku daimyo of Toyozen Province, and it was similar to a semi-independent existence. And this is a situation with the permission of Otomo Zonglin, and Otomo Zonglin also formed a righteous brother with him for this reason, which can be regarded as a woo for him, and it is also an extreme importance to him.

The castle is the sixteenth lord of the castle clan, the lord of the castle of Bunzen Province, Itani Castle, and there is a legend in the history books that the character can pull a strong bow with his hand and use it freely. The strong bow here is definitely not one of those horsewood bows that have little power, at least they are heavy bows and arrows that are measured by stone, otherwise there is no need to specifically record them.

In the fifth year of Astronomical (1536 AD), Joi Zhenbo was born as the eldest son of the Daimyo of Bunzen Province and the successor of the Bunzen Utsunomiya family. When he was in the Yuan service, he took the chastity room as his name.

As the heir of the Utsunomiya family in Bunzen Province, his castle well is still a person who cares about the family, and he is very concerned about the civil strife of the Shimono Utsunomiya clan as his own family, and he also sent people thousands of miles away to intervene in the battle for the inheritance of the family, but in the enthusiasm of the castle well Nagafang, whether there are other ideas, then only he really knows.

It's just that it can be determined that in the early days, the castle Nagabo was given the right to manage the territory of the Bunzen country, and it was just as a subordinate official of the Ouchi family, so it can be seen that the castle family is indeed a famous samurai family.

Originally, the Shiroi family existed as a subordinate force of Ouchi Yoshitaka, and after Ouchi Yoshitaka was killed by the general Tao Takafang under his command, the dominance of the Bunzen country also fell into the hands of Otomo Yoshizhen (later Otomo Sorin), who killed his father and brother, and after several seconds of choice, the Joi family joined the command of the Otomo family, and since then has become a subordinate of Otomo Sorin.

For Chengjing Zhenfang, it is still very beneficial to join the Otomo family, first of all, the Ouchi family is in civil strife, and after joining the Otomo family, it is enough to rely on the Otomo family to ensure their safety.

Secondly, because of the importance of Otomo Zonglin, Chengjing Zhenfang himself first became a nominal righteous brother with Otomo Zonglin, and then married Otomo Zonglin's sister as his main room, and became a member of the Otomo family.

In the 6th year of Tensho (1578 AD), the Battle of Ogawa took place, and the Otomo family, which was the former overlord of Kyushu, lost to the Shimazu family, so its power declined rapidly. (During the Battle of Ogawa, the Shiroi family participated in the battle as part of the Otomo family, and defeated Shimazu Yoshihisa's army near Satsuma Province, which was appreciated by the Shimazu family.)

In troubled times, warriors with outstanding martial arts are easy to be appreciated by big forces, for example, at the beginning, the Kuroda family defeated the Takino Akamatsu family, and Akamatsu Masahide once wanted to recruit Kuroda Zhitaka, which is one of the rules of survival in troubled times.

In the fourteenth year of Tensho (1586 AD), the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi began the Kyushu expedition, and the castle town house as one of the Otomo family commands, of course, became a subordinate of the monkey side, but looked down on the monkey from the castle town, on the grounds that his body was infected with a disease, refused to participate in the war as a monkey's command, but sent his eldest son, the same known for his martial arts, the castle of the castle family, led a small part of the castle family, with the monkey to fight, even so, with the martial arts, killed a number of samurai on the side of the Shimazu family, A great deal of merit was obtained.

In the 15th year of Tensho (1587), Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered that the Joi family had made great achievements in the Kyushu expedition, so it was decided to transfer the Joi family to Iyo Province, and the diplomatic monk Ankokuji Keikyu was the messenger, and asked the Joi Town House to offer the Fujiwara Seiya's "Ogura Colored Paper" held by the Toyozen Utsunomiya family as a gift.

"Ogura colored paper" is a family treasure of the Utsunomiya family, and with the stubbornness passed down from his father and ancestors, the castle has always attached great importance to the protection of his family treasure, so the castle refused to accept the seal granted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and also refused to transfer it to Iyo Province. As the new lord of the six counties of Fengzen Province, Kuroda officer and soldier Wei Takataka immediately felt the unstable atmosphere of Fengzen Province from this incident, and knew that he had to do something, otherwise there would definitely be chaos in his territory.

Kuroda Kanbei was a smart man, and he personally went to the castle valley single-handedly, and met with the castle town, and after some patient persuasion, the castle town house once gave up the castle valley castle and became the owner of the Mori Katsunobu who was transferred here.

It's just that the monkey is very annoyed by a series of contempt for himself by the castle town, and when the castle town proposes to block his territory, Toyotomi Hideyoshi resolutely refuses the condition of the castle clan's ability to block, so the castle town house decided to break away from the monkey's rule.

The castle town was not willing to submit to the monkey's command, but the monkey was powerful at that time, so he had to surrender, and with the clever words of Kuroda Kanbei, he had to temporarily make a mistake. Now that the decision has been made, there will be no more to do with the Toyotomi family, and there is no need to look at the face of the Toyotomi family anymore.

In October of the fifteenth year of Tensho, under the careful preparation of the castle town, he personally led his 2,500 men to attack the castle valley castle and successfully recaptured it, and when the Toyotomi army came to crusade, he prepared for the cage castle and resolutely attacked the Toyotomi army.

Taking advantage of the favorable location, the castle town was ambushed and defeated Kuroda Nagamasa on the side of the Toyotomi family, which was the battle of Imaruyama in history.

In the face of the castle valley castle that can be defended, it is not easy to conquer it, and the Kuroda family is also in a bitter battle, and Kuroda Takataka, who has given up the position of family governor, has thought of a more feasible way, which is to build a castle at the mouth of the castle valley, as a transit station for the follow-up battle, and also as a blockade of the castle valley castle.

After blocking the Joi family in the Joi Valley, the Kuroda family began to attack the wealthy clans and countrymen of the other Bunzen provinces that belonged to the Joi Town, and began to cut off the wings of the Joi Town.

Kuroda Kanbei's strategy was very effective, and without outside assistance, the two sides decided in late December of the same year. Chengjing Zhenfang accepted the conditions of the monkey's territory and finally decided to submit.
