Chapter 45: Cleaning Up Satsuma

"Really? You're right, you must avenge the second child. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

While the Shimazu family was busy making tandem connections all over southern Kyushu, and Shimazu Yoshihisa was also waiting for an opportunity, the Kuroda family's army had already begun to sweep through Satsuma Province.

In the game of disgrace, we often see that a daimyo has many retainers under him, and these retainers have their own loyalties, and they are difficult to be relegated to by other families. Unless the salary given is too low, causing them to be dissatisfied, or confiscating their family treasures.

In fact, in reality, a Lingguo is likely to have many large and small forces, even if it seems to be a giant force like the Otomo family, its territory is not monolithic, and there will be small daimyo like Joi Zhenfang.

And the daimyo we see in the game may only be the nominal lord in reality, not even the nominal lord, but the most powerful one in the kingdom of the order, such as Hida's sister Koji family.

In addition, some of the wealthy families and countrymen are indeed attached to this largest force. More often than not, they are likely to be independent and not at their disposal. It is even possible that it is a hostile relationship with the largest power at all.

However, due to the limitations of many games themselves, even if the game developers themselves are very aware of this history and know the relationship between everyone, they can only design it this way, and even make some powerful wealthy families and countrymen lords directly into ronin samurai.

Relatively speaking, the situation in Satsuma is relatively special, the Shimazu family has been recuperating in Satsuma country for 400 years, and in Satsuma country, including the surrounding Osumi country and Hyuga country, nearly 100 wealthy families and Chinese people, most of which are branches and tribes of the Shimazu family, sometimes have to sigh at the strong fertility of the Shimazu family.

This is the similarity and difference between Satsuma and other reicho countries, because among other reicho countries, it is very rare for several surrounding countries to be of the same family bloodline.

It's just that it stands to reason that under the blood bondage, the Shimazu family, which should be very united, these families and clans are not very much buying the family's account, perhaps because of the thinning of the blood in hundreds of years, which has led to the indifference of emotions between each other, so this situation will occur.

For example, the previous Shimazu Tadashi usurped the rights of the Shimazu family's own family, and after the many divisions and tribes of the Shimazu family, rebelled against the other Shimazu family's main family under the leadership of Shimazu Tadaya and Shimazu Takahisa, Shimazu Yoshitora and Shimazu Minoru killed each other because of their respective positions, and for example, the long-term contradiction between the two families of the Qidayuan family and the Ijiin family, which shows that between the division family and the main family, the division of the family is not only not monolithic, but even like other wealthy people, there is a great conflict of interests between each other.

This is because each sub-family has its own position and has a complex interest relationship between each other, so for the Satsuma country, sometimes if you want to be unanimous with the outside world, you really need a strong main family to deter the following families and clans.

Originally, if it weren't for the strong intervention of the Kuroda family, the Shimazu family clan led by Shimazu Yoshihisa would have made such a strong deterrent to the main family of the following families and clans, and with the Shimazu family and clans, they would become general managers, become CEOs, marry Bai Fumei, and embark on the pinnacle of life.

And now the army of the Shimazu family led by Shimazu Yoshihisa has been repelled by the Kuroda family in Takachiho Mountain. Although it was not annihilated, and most of the living force was retained, many wealthy clans and people in Satsuma did not know about it.

All they know is that Shimazu Yoshihisa has been defeated by the Kuroda family, fled to the territory of the former Ryokari family, and carried out a brutal and ruthless massacre.

And the time has been counted since the Battle of Takachiho Mountain, and it has been almost ten days, but Shimazu Yoshihisa and his army have not even had a single counterattack, and it is likely that they were really beaten down by the Kuroda family!

None of these wealthy clans and people of Satsuma Country knew that it was the Kuroda family that revealed this important information, and at the same time completely deliberately blocked some of the details. It's just that these melon-eating people now have their own judgments, even if they tell them things now, they won't necessarily believe it!

Because after the Kuroda family landed in Satsuma Province before, they went straight to besiege the inner city, and then went straight to Mt. Takachiho, and there was not much control over the rest of Satsuma Country, so the most important thing for the Kuroda family now is to consolidate the Kuroda family's dominance in Satsuma Country by eliminating and integrating these local forces, and to go to the influence of the Shimazu family on Satsuma Country before.

In this case, three or five families were already bullied by the Shimazu family, or the divisions and tribes that had been severely dealt with with with by Shimazu Minoru and others who had rebelled against the family, and before they knew that the Kuroda family's army had arrived, they immediately took hostages and condolences from the labor army and took refuge under the Kuroda family.

And like the other Kayama family, the Hokugo family, and the Kiiri family, these are all loyal supporters of the Shimazu family, and these divisions and clans are also very headaches.

If it can't be solved, as Shimazu Yoshihisa said before, as long as they can lead the coalition forces in southern Kyushu back, plus these small families will cause all kinds of chaos to the Kuroda family in the back, facing the Shimazu family as a landlord, the Kuroda family may really lose a war.

However, it is precisely because most of these clans and clans that support the Shimazu family have sent their main combat forces, so there are not many soldiers left in their own homes in Satsuma Province now, and some even have only a dozen relatives of their own families. Even at this time, even if you go to temporarily recruit peasant soldiers, you won't get many more people, because it is true that the situation in the territory has been taken away by Shimazu Yoshihisa.

Each family has a force of dozens or hundreds of people left, and such a force is barely able to deal with a dozen or twenty bandits, but it is completely impossible to deal with the invasion of the Kuroda family's army of tens of thousands of people.

Unless the soldiers of the Kuroda family are mainly peasant soldiers who can only fight with the wind, but it is a pity that the soldiers of the Kuroda family are all standing professional soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is much better than that of the elite of the Shimazu family.

Or to say that the Kuroda family stabbed a herd of more than 100,000 wild boars, or that there was some powerful demon such as a ghost god child.
