On September 19 of the third year of Tensho, Katayama Heng's Long March against Arima Harukoru had actually come to an end, but his journey had just begun, and Arima Haruki was his first stop, and the ultimate goal was Matsuura Takannobu, who had been delayed for a long time.

Masahiro and Katayama still don't know that Matsuura Takanobu is going to give them a gift that I don't know if it's joy or sorrow, Katayama Hengcho is still calming down the past one by one for the set goals, and Masahiro is in the mood of enjoying the mountains and rivers in Kokura Castle without the slightest intention of moving.

Convinced that he would be able to achieve the final victory, he took it easy from the beginning and sent his retainers to attack everywhere, all of which were successful.

Katayama Hengcho broke through Hinoe Castle and forced to kill Arima Harumun and his son, Kiyokawa Henghide, Matsushima Hengxin, and Iwase Hengkatsu defeated Kyushu Raijinto Jimichiyuki, and the Shikoku Army led by Noyama Yoshitomo besieged Funachi Castle, and Funachi Castle was about to be broken.

After learning the news of the destruction of Hinoe Castle, Noyama Yoshitomo stepped up his psychological offensive against Fuuchi Castle, originally Otomo Yoshizhen was by no means an ordinary person, but unfortunately Otomo Yoshizhen died of illness, resulting in turmoil in Fuuchi Castle.

Otomo Yoshijin's injuries and deaths caused turmoil in the castle, and the Otomo family lost the best opportunity to negotiate. If they could have a little understanding of the general trend of the world, they would not have been forced to this point. Therefore, they cannot be compared with Ouchi Yoshiko. Ouchi Yoshicho is nominally subordinate to the Date family, and although Masaki will station all the main soldiers and horses in Ouchi Yoshicho's territory, Masaki will not occupy it for a long time, and will leave when Kyushu is pacified, at most he will take Okura Castle out of Bunzen Province as a heavenly domain.

At the beginning, Masahiro made a condition to the Otomo family that they could retain the territory of Bungo and Chikugo. However, it is likely that even the Bungo Kingdom will not be able to be preserved now, and it may be necessary to stay away from the old place.

Of course, there were also people in the castle who strongly opposed surrender, and they wanted to blockade the castle and live and die with it. But the elders of the Otomo family are not stupid enough to do such a stupid thing.

Naita Kanki, who advocated surrender, persuaded Yoshioka Nagamassu and Yoshihiro Kanri, one of the three elders of Bungo, and told them: "Now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the lord of the country has died of illness, morale is low, and the lord is suspicious, plus the mobile force led by the Kii Morisho has been wiped out, and the whereabouts of Kii Mamoru are unknown. If the blockade of the city is fought to the death, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend, and once it fails, it will be several circles of the south six. If war is avoided, even if it is difficult to ensure the abundance, the young master can still live. In my opinion, we should avoid this great difficulty first. ”

Yoshioka Nagamassu and Yoshihiro Kanri listened to Nata Kenki's suggestion, and they were silent for a long time before agreeing to this suggestion. It's not that they don't know that the Otomo family has reached the end of the world.

When Yoshioka Nagamassu and Yoshihiro Kanri were convinced, the retainers of the Otomo family who were guarding the castle wept and agreed, and sent envoys to the besieging Date army to discuss the surrender of Kaejo.

When Noyama Masatomo delivered the news of Fuuchi Castle's desire for Kaesong to surrender to Kokura Castle, Shoheng was dealing with government affairs, and he read the text in his hand, which was a transcript that had just been delivered by boat.

Zhengheng stretched his waist, and saw Kuroda officers and guards waiting respectfully with a letter of worship in their hands, paused slightly, and asked, "Who sent it?" "Since coming to Kyushu, Masahiro has taken some time out every day to meet with celebrities from all over Kyushu.

Kuroda Kanbei replied respectfully, "My lord, I am the messenger of Kagoshima. ”

Masahiro was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the allusion to Kagoshima, and said indifferently: "Is the people of the Shimazu family finally here?" Late, who's it? ”

Kuroda Kanbei gave another salute neatly, handed over the greeting post, and replied respectfully: "Report to the lord, the person who came claimed to be the messenger of the Shimazu family in Kagoshima, Ijiin Tadaro, and his entourage was more than ten people. ”

Zhengheng's face sank, he took the greeting post sent by the attendant, and then threw it on the table, and snorted coldly: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the stubborn Shimazu family, but only one retainer was sent here." ”

Kuroda Kanbei knew the details, and Masahiro sent two edicts to Kagoshima in a row, but he didn't reply for more than half a month, and now only one retainer was sent to come, which was to give Masahiro a look.

Kuroda Kanbei asked in a low voice, "My lord, how do you reply?" ”

Zhengheng snorted coldly and said, "Since the people of Kagoshima are so good-looking, let him come and see what kind of conditions the people of Kagoshima will offer?" ”

Kuroda Kanbei leaves, and Masahiro pulls out an introduction to the Shimazu family from the table.

The ancestors of the Shimazu clan were descendants of the Qin clan, who claimed to be the first emperor of the Qin clan, and were the same clan as the Nagamune Ibe clan of Tosa and the Hatano clan of Tanba. The son of Yumune Kiyan, the lord of the Fujiwara Regent family, the head of the Konoe family, went to Kyushu, and his son Yumune Tadahisa became the head of the place during the Minamoto Yoritomo period, and this is the origin of the Hyuga Shimazu family.

In the Sengoku period, there was a struggle against the people of the country and other Shimazu clans in various parts of the territory, and the clan gradually declined. The Isaku Shimazu family gradually became stronger, overpowering the other families, and the Isaku Shimazu family governor Shimazu Tadara bullied the orphans and widows of the Shimazu family, and seized the main family by the next Keshang, and the eldest son Shimazu Takahisa became the governor of the Shimazu family as the adopted son of the Shimazu family Katsuhisa. As for Shimazu Katsuhisa, he soon died of illness at a young age, and his mother, wife, young children, and more than ten young daughters died of illness on the same day.

The perverse actions of Shimazu Tadashi and Takahisa father and son naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Shimazu families in Sasku and Toyoshu, and the two sides fought each other for more than ten years, and finally unified Satsuma Province in the 19th year of Astronomy.

When the Shimazu father and son ruled Satsuma, Miyoshi Nagakei in Kinai was at his peak, Hojo Shiyasu expelled Uesugi Kenmasa and dominated the Kanto region, Uesugi Kenshin was recognized by Ashikaga Yoshiteru as Echigo Guardian, Mori Mototo killed Yoshikawa Kokei and unified Yasui, and Date Masaki was still waiting for the situation to change in the mountains.

However, Shimazu Tadarashi and Takahisa, who unified Satsuma, soon led to a rebellion among the countrymen due to the cruel policy of Hachiko and two farmers, and the alliance of Sagara, Ito, and Hefu was killed, and the country was almost destroyed.

The current Shimazu family has been farming in Southern Satsuma, and they can't even manage Northern Satsuma. The real rise of the Shimazu family began five years later, when Kihisa lived in seclusion and succeeded him, and in just a few years, he unified the three states and truly became a powerful daimyō.

However, time waits for no one, and the Shimazu family, who nested in Minamissatsuma, did not know that the world was changing too fast, and it only took more than ten years for Date Masaki, who was originally useless, to develop into the world's number one powerhouse.

Now that the Shimazu family has also hated Date Masaki, it's hard to say whether it can be brilliant again?
