Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Priest of Honganji
The Kuroda family's Hanafang Masayuki Army, which was garrisoned in Bigo Province, was likely to be the largest invasion of the Maori family this time, and it was even more on the front line and bore the brunt. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bigo's pre-war preparations were actually the first to be completed, and under the command of Hanafang Masayuki, all emergency preparations had been made. Once the Maori family goes out of battle, the more than 2,000 soldiers in the three counties of the Kuroda family can quickly assemble all of them to Fukuyama Castle Cage Castle at the first time.
If the Imate Tomoshi came to Bigo Province, they would also be able to quickly do a good job of the logistics and support of the Imate Tomoji army, and fight against the Maori family.
Originally, there were a total of 30,000 horses in the Kuroda family, and 10,000 of them had been taken to Shikoku by Kuroda Vocational High School. The remaining 20,000 Kuroda family soldiers will leave 5,000 people behind to protect the Kuroda family's Nishiharima National Skills.
In addition to the other 15,000 people, 6,000 will go to Mimasaka Province as soon as possible, and they will be deployed to the border with the territory of the Maori family, and these people and horses can support the Bigo Koku Legion at any time, the Miki family of Mimasaka Province, and Matsui Shigetaka of Inaba Province. Two thousand people were temporarily transferred to the command of the mother's family, and they had already gone to the stone city. 3,000 people went to Tamba Province, but they also went into hiding with the Kodera clan. And 4,000 people were transferred to Himeji Castle, as a backup for Koji Takahisa, who had also gone into hiding.
There are also two military advisors, Shigeharu Takenaka and Sanada Masayuki, because of Kuroda's arrangement, all stayed in Kuroda's house, and did not go to Shikoku with Kuroda Vocational High, Sanada Masayuki has come to Tsuyama Castle and commanded 6,000 soldiers on behalf of the Kuroda family. Shigeharu Takenaka, on the other hand, is taking the next step after waiting for the arrival of the men and horses arranged for him by Kuroda Vocational High School in the preparation of China for the time being.
It can be said that because Honganji's own information protection is not strict, it is not only that it does not strictly guard the secrets of the Kuroda family's encirclement network. And because of the exposure of the information, the Kuroda family knew the information in advance, so before the storm came, the Kuroda family was completely prepared.
Not only did Honganji leak their own information, but they also betrayed their allies, the Mori family, the Ichijo family, and the Bessho family.
Matsunaga Shu actually received a request from the Alliance, but after weighing it repeatedly, Matsunaga Shu still refused Honganji's request because he was afraid that the Honganji people would talk too much and leak their collective actions. Matsunaga Shu is also a person who values information, so he can't trust Honganji.
As for the result of all the preparations of the Kuroda family, it will not be known until the final fight with the anti-Kuroda family alliance. And don't forget, the Kuroda family still has nearly 30,000 horses in Shikoku, and Kuroda Vocational High School is already in the process of repairing, and will soon be able to return with a large army.
In the middle of the village of Kuzuri in the southeastern part of Tanba Province, outside a thatched hut that seemed to be barely acceptable, a lean young man knocked on the door carefully.
Kuzuri Village is the closest village in Tanba Province to Settsu Province in the southeast, and because of its proximity to Setzu Province, all the people in this area are Honganji believers, and it has escaped the Kuroda family's request for conversion. Because the believers here are the most devout and determined to be the Ichikomu, it has also become the source of Honganji's attack on Tanba Province and the estimated transit and supply point.
The people in this village, originally during the reign of Naito Sokatsu, because the lords were extorting money (in fact, all the lords were basically like this), so the people lived in great poverty. Living in poverty and feeling that there is no hope for the future, they will go to believe in the Iljangza sect, hoping to reincarnate in the next life through a simple way such as reciting Amitabha.
Later, the Kuroda family ruled Tanba Province, and the lord Kodera family was very tolerant of the people, and it has always been in accordance with the policy of the Kuroda family's five princes and five people, and they have been collecting taxes.
And in more than three years, the Kuroda family built and expanded roads in Tanba Province, built water conservancy, and the lives of the people were greatly improved, and the Kuroda family forbade the belief in the Ichijang sect in the territory, so slowly almost all the followers of the Ichijo sect in the domain changed their faith.
However, Jiuzhi Village, as a village of firm believers in the Yixiang Sect, is not without anyone who opposes the action of the Yixiang Sect to destroy the territory of the Kuroda family, but the Yizhi Sect has sent several Dafang officials such as Shimoma Terulian, as well as hundreds of elite monks and soldiers, and the resistance of several people can only usher in the punishment of the butcher's knife, and the villagers in the village can only watch their companions in the village die under the knife of the Buddhas, at this time, they do not have any doubts about their beliefs.
"Dafang official, I'm Xiaopingtai, and I've already found out the news you said."
The door slowly opened, and a bald man with a fat head and big ears pulled him inside. In addition to a few big square officials, there are also a few young girls in the village
"How's it going?" Teruhiro Shimoma asked.
"The little one saw it in Yagi Castle, and the little temple family doesn't have any defenses now." Among the naked women were his new wife and twelve-year-old sister, Koheita said
"Hmmm! Do a good job, when the country of Tamba becomes a kingdom of Buddhas on earth, there will definitely be benefits for you. ”
"Hey!" Xiaoping walked out of the house in a daze, he still clearly heard his wife's moaning, he didn't know for a moment whether he believed in Yizong was right or wrong, whether the Buddha was a human or a ghost.
A day later, nearly 10,000 people from Xiangzong came to Jiuzhi Village, and the number of people and horses of Yixiangzong reached 10,000.
But one of the biggest problems with the Sect was that they didn't carry much grain and grass at all, and they were ready to plunder all the way.
When they passed through the territory of Matsunagahide in Settsu Province before, Matsunagahide ordered the city to be guarded everywhere, and the countryside outside the city suffered a great disaster, and almost everything that could be eaten would be pulled away by this group of locusts, and no particles would be left.
Now this group of people has come to Jiuzhi Village, and Jiuzhi Village has also suffered a catastrophe. However, the villagers of Jiuzhi Village did not dare to have any objection, after all, it was the orders of the Buddhas.
After that, everyone ate, and Ichiman, under the leadership of Shimoma Teruo, headed towards Yagi Castle.
As a result, as soon as he left Jiuzhi Village and came to the Hino place, there was a sudden loud noise, and four armies were killed from all sides.
On the front are the elite of the 3,000 Kuroda family led by the Kodera clan himself, to the west are the 400 elites of their own family led by Kushibashi Izano and Kushihashi Icho, to the east are the 500 people of the two families of Kamiyoshi Masadari and Hiromine Choshi, and to the south are the Kodera family general Shigesei Kuno, and his sons Kuno Shigeyuki and Kuno Shigetoshi led the Yagi Castle people and his own family horses with a total of 1,500 people.
