Chapter Ninety-Seven: Military Intelligence from Kyushu
"Lord Akizuki, I know that you are a powerful and wealthy family in Kyushu Chikuzen Province, how could you have thought of coming to my Kuroda family at this time!" Kuroda asked.
"Back to your lordship, I was just going to come and take refuge under my lord's command, but now I want to tell you that the matter is a piece of information, and the Otomo family is preparing to go out to Nagato Country." Akizuki Taneshi said.
Akizuki Taneshi said a news that shocked Kuroda Vocational High School, although Kuroda Vocational High School said that his heart was extremely turbulent, but Kuroda Vocational High School, which had gone through too many ups and downs, was still very calm on the surface.
This makes Akizuki very admirable, at such a young age, but to be so calm, this is something that he can't do, it seems that Kuroda Vocational High School is indeed a powerful lord, no wonder the Kuroda family can come to this point.
"Lord Akizuki, can you confirm this matter? The Otomo family has never had any grudges with the family, and you are sure that they will go out to the Nagato country of the family and take the initiative to make enemies with the family. Because if it is really as you said, then this matter is really important, and I have to be very cautious about this, and it is not aimed at adults, so please understand. Kuroda asked.
"The current situation is urgent, what Kuroda-sama said is common sense, and I don't dare to have any ideas." Akizuki Tanemi said immediately.
"In that case, tell me what you know! The more detailed it is, the better. ”
"Hey! Kuroda-sama, I'm very sure of this news, and I'm going to start talking about it from my Akizuki family. ”
"Is it about your ancient mountain castle?" Kuroda asked.
"Hey! Because although it was surrendered to the Otomo family before the next, it has always been yang and yin for the Otomo family, so half a month ago, the Otomo family had once again captured the ancient mountain city in Xia, and the third brother in Xia was not in this battle. ”
"Go on." Kuroda Vocational High School has no interest in the death of Akizuki Tanemi's younger brother, and he only wants to know information about the Otomo family now.
After seeing Kuroda's demeanor, Akizuki Tanemi knew that he was out of shape for a while, so he immediately recovered his mentality and said, "I'm out of shape, and I ask Kuroda-sama not to blame." ”
"I won't blame you, just say it!" Kuroda said eagerly.
"Five days ago, when I was dressing up and preparing to take my younger brother and a group of men to board the ship from Bunzen Province to the Kuroda family, I saw that the Otomo family had already assembled at Moji Port, and there were about 10,000 people gathered near Moji Port alone. In the next generation, it is believed that as long as the Otomo family completes the assembly, that is, within two or three days, it is likely that they will launch an offensive against Nagato Province. Qiuyue said affirmatively.
Kuroda Vocational High School nodded at this, the Otomo family has gathered 10,000 people in Moji Port, and it will definitely not be just a drill or something like that, after all, after tens of thousands of people, a day's food is not a small number, and the Otomo family will not play around like this no matter how rich they are, not even the Kuroda family, since this is the case, the Otomo family seems to be really ready to take action against the Kuroda family.
"Akizuki-sama, how many people do you expect the Otomo family to come?"
"There should be no less than twenty-five thousand." Qiu Yue said firmly.
"How so?" Kuroda asked.
"If you go back to your lordship, 25,000 people, in the case of my Akizuki family being breached, the Takahashi family being succeeded, and the Ryuzoji family and the Tachibana family surrendering, this is exactly the number of people and horses that the Otomo family can use in Toyosu and Chikuzen."
"Then it doesn't seem to be wrong, have you told anyone else about this?" Kuroda asked.
"After landing in Nagato Province, he immediately told the Kuroda family's Lord Matsui Shigetaka, and Lord Matsui should have made corresponding preparations in the area of Akama Pass. As for the fact that no one else has said the news, no one else should know. ”
"Hmmm! Adults are doing very well.,In this matter, the adults have made a great contribution to the Kuroda family.,Just now I ignored the adults because of this news.,It's my fault.,I hope the adults will forgive.。 Kuroda said sincerely to Akizuki Tanemi.
"Don't dare." Qiu Yue Tane immediately said in a panic.
"What do you hope to get from the Kuroda family? I want adults to be able to say it directly. Kuroda asked.
"Kuroda-sama, I'm just a ronin now, and I'm just hoping that my lord can give me a way to live next."
"And reclaim the land for you?" Kuroda asked.
"Hey! Kuroda-sama Akikan. ”
"The lord turned out to be a powerful wealthy family in Chikuzen Country, and the land also received nearly 150,000 stones, but the strength of the Otomo family is indeed stronger, so don't be upset if you are defeated by the Otomo family. As for helping you regain your territory, I don't know if you know anything about my Kuroda family! ”
"Hey...... There are still some people who have heard about it. Akizuki nodded and said.
"In that case, Lord Akizuki should know how my Kuroda family dealt with the people of the Hao clan who surrendered."
"I've really heard of this."
"In that case, I'll just say it bluntly, reducing the seal and transferring it to other reeding countries, this is the rule of the Kuroda family, and it is absolutely not allowed to be changed, unless the adults are willing to be the same as the Kono family in Iyo Province, just keep the land of Ichisei, if this is the case, the Kuroda family will regain the original residence for the adults."
"My lord, I am willing to accept the conditions of reducing the seal and transferring the title to another country, and at the same time submit to the Kuroda family." After listening to Kuroda Vocational High School's words, Akizuki Tanemi immediately made up his mind, and when he answered, he was already the lord.
"Another point, that is, the Kuroda family helps you take revenge, then the basis for your land reduction cannot be the 150,000 stones that your Qiuyue family originally received, plus the request of the family to reduce the seal, and finally keep 70,000 stones for the adults, can the adults accept this?" Kuroda asked.
"70,000 Stone ......"
Qiuyue Chongshi, a twenty-four-year-old young man, hesitated, although he himself was very capable, but after all, the 150,000 stones of the Qiuyue family in the Chikuzen Country were worked hard by the ancestors of the Qiuyue family for generations, and it was indeed a little difficult to accept the lack of 80,000 stones at once.
However, Akizuki Tane recovered immediately, 70,000 is 70,000, if it weren't for the Kuroda family, he might not even have the 70,000, the Otomo family is not something that he can shake now, he has to rely on the Kuroda family.
