Chapter 24: The Seven Cities of Songshan (6)
To tell the truth, Takahashi Katsubo actually had no intention of resisting when he saw the Kuroda family's army, and now that the Kuroda family has sent someone to persuade him to surrender, then this is a good opportunity for himself to go down the steps, so Takahashi Katsubo immediately came to the city wall and looked at the samurai of the Kuroda family (Yamamoto Ryuquan) below. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This Lord of the Kuroda family, below is Takahashi Katsubo, the head of the Takahashi family, and the family was only forced to belong to the Mimura family because of the strength of the Mimura family, and I hope the Kuroda family can see this. The Takahashi family has no will to resist the Kuroda family, but I still want to ask this lord what conditions they need to accept if the Takahashi family submits to the Kuroda family now. Takahashi Katsubo said loudly.
"Takahashi-sama and the Takahashi family are really very wise! It is indeed not a wise choice to be an enemy of the Kuroda family now. If the Takahashi family chooses to surrender now, the original leader of Kamo Castle with 2,000 koku will be recovered, and 1,500 koku will be transferred to Tajima Province's adoptive father gun, and the hostages and the table will be sent to the family. Yamamoto Takasato told all the conditions of the Kuroda family under Kamo Castle, just waiting for Takahashi Katsubo to answer.
"Ahh Not only does it have to reduce the seal by 500 stones, but it also has to be transferred to Tajima Province, which ......" Takahashi Katsufang hesitated a little after hearing the conditions, after all, the conditions offered by the Kuroda family were a bit harsh for him.
"Takahashi-sama, you must know that among the four coalition forces that intended to pass through the Matsushima Castle path and sneak attack the back road of the family's army, there is a hundred troops of the Takahashi family, which is absolutely unforgivable for the Kuroda family, and now the head of the family, Kuroda Danmasa, because he is unwilling to kill more, has mercy, so he is here to open up and agree to the Takahashi family to surrender to the family. Could it be that Takahashi-sama really wants to see the Takahashi family ruined? You must know that although it is true that a lot of land has been reduced, as long as you can sincerely follow the Kuroda family in the future, the land of a few hundred stones is just a thing worth mentioning for the Kuroda family, so I hope that Lord Takahashi will not hesitate, all this is for the sake of the Takahashi family to continue! Please be sure to think carefully about Takahashi-sama. Yamamoto Takaquan said loudly, and explained clearly why the Kuroda family had reduced the Takahashi family's land of 500 stones.
"Don't think about it, lord" "Yes! Only by living can there be hope! "Yes! Otherwise, the Takahashi family will have to decide the name of the family! "Please make a decision quickly!" Seeing Takahashi Katsubo's hesitation, even the retainers of the Takahashi family began to persuade him.
"In this case, the family will be subjugated to the Kuroda family." Takahashi Katsubo said.
After subduing the Takahashi family, it was already the afternoon of the same day, and the Kuroda family's army was stationed outside Kamo Castle for the sake of safety, and did not continue to march.
Early the next morning, the army of the Kuroda family, who had already recuperated their spirits, except for the 200 men of Ikitani Jinmao's team who were left behind to defend Kamo Castle, all the more than 100 soldiers of the Takahashi family continued to march with the army. The army chose a farther path, bypassing Matsuyama City, and the Tongxin people cut off the eyes and ears of Songshan City to the outside, and the practice made by several dealers was controlled by the Tongxin people, which means that the Songshan City dealers are now blind with the blind man. Deaf like they don't know what has been and what is about to happen outside.
The Sanji family of Guanshan City and the Shanghe family of Miyaluyama Castle are all local wealthy families in China, and they have been recuperating in the land of China, and the Kuroda family came to Bei China this time, obviously considered to be an outsider of the invasion, after all, whether it is the Zhuang family or the Mimura family, they have existed in China for at least a hundred years, and relatively speaking, the Kuroda family is an out-and-out invader.
But when the Kuroda family besieged the city, the Miyoshi family and the Kamikawa family, who did not participate in the battle of Senyu Castle, really knew the terrorist power of the Kuroda family, and five thousand people first came to the palace castle, and the moment the formation was set up at the gate of the city, the Kamikawa family of the palace castle had lost the courage to resist, and you let a small city with only a hundred people left, and the city was basically full of miscellaneous soldiers, to resist the Kuroda family's elite division (in fact, most of them were ordinary bamboo armor), it was a complete joke.
So in the end, the Kuroda family was not used to persuade them, and the Kamikawa family of Miyaluyama Castle directly opened the door and surrendered, and respectfully sent hostages and surrendered tables, and accepted the conditions for transferring the title to Inaba country. Kuroda was very satisfied with this, and finally reduced the land of the Shanghe family by one hundred stones, and the Shanghe family immediately thanked Dade for his gratitude to Kuroda, and used a little means, at least on the surface, to subdue the Shanghe family, and Kuroda became more and more like a family governor.
As for the other Guanshan City, the geographical location is special, located on the halfway of a hill, but the whole city, and just completely surrounded the hill, the most special thing is that there is a small stream flowing not far from here, so there is a shallow well in the city, you can get a steady stream of water.
And another point is that when I went to rescue Matsushima Castle before, basically the other three cities sent half of the defenders in the city to participate in the operation, but only the Miyoshi family was a special case.
The Sanji family, which has 5,000 stone of land, can be regarded as a powerful wealthy family in China, but in that operation, the Sanji family, which has 400 people, only sent a light head and a hundred old, weak, sick and disabled. As a result, the facts have also proved that Miyoshi Fujishi does have a certain vision and level.
It was precisely because of these conditions that the Sanji family of Guanshan City did not warmly welcome the arrival of the Kuroda family's army, but after pulling all the remaining light clothes in the generals into the city, they blocked the gates of the entire Guanshan City with bags filled with dirt, and there were 600 young people in the city at this time, which was the capital of the Sanji family against the Kuroda family.
But the Kuroda family is not a great name who will retreat when he sees difficulties, since he sees that Guanshan Castle is ready to resist to the end, the Kuroda family has nothing to say, and even the routine persuasion steps are directly exempted, and the remote team is directly pressed up, four hundred crossbows are light, standing at the bottom of the hill, after lining up a neat line, slowly starting to move towards the city gate facing the mountain.
All the Kuroda family crossbows ashigaru lowered their heads and used their own hats to face the direction of the city gate, and the Miyoshi family also invested enough money to fight against the Kuroda family, and prepared more than sixty Maruki bows to counter the Kuroda family's long-range firepower.
