Chapter 62: Nagahide Sasaki and Yorokuro Yamamoto
The Kotera clan became the new governor of the Kotera family, and the Kuroda family did not stand on its own, and continued to serve as the head of the Kotera family, and fully assisted the Kotera family, and the news that the Kotera clan had basically stabilized was constantly spread to the ears of the surrounding forces, and some forces that wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob stopped acting, and it would be bad if they hit the iron plate of the Kuroda family.

At the same time, there is also a piece of information that has attracted the attention of the ronin from Harima Province to the surrounding areas, the Kuroda family will have a selection of samurai and ashigaru in March, which is definitely a good opportunity for many people who are already unable to eat, or who are ready to plan for a future.
As a result, the ronins from some surrounding countries began to move towards Kuroda City, and Kuroda City was bustling for half a month under the impetus of these people. Taverns, lodging houses, and fireworks are all popular places for these ronin, which greatly stimulates the economic development of Kuroda Castle and its surrounding areas, making Kuroda Castle the liveliest place on Sanyo Road.
On March 20, 1560, the third year of Eiroku, in the Nagaya district of Kuroda Castle, the selection of the Kuroda family's samurai and ashigaru officially began.
The ronin samurai of the entire longhouse district tried their best to express themselves in front of the Kuroda family's selection staff, but in the corner of the longhouse area, two young men with an Omi accent sat next to each other and did not move.
"Changxiu, do you think I can do it?"
"Yorokuro, haven't you always boasted of being like a river? The Kuroda family recruits samurai not only for martial arts, but also for other talents, and as long as you are really talented, you will be chosen. ”
"But I, I'm a little nervous right now, and I'm worried that I won't be able to say it after a while."
"It's okay, all the way you said and I listened, why are you cowardly now, it's okay."
"Nagahide, you said that the two of us have been all the way, Asakura, Asai, Rokkaku, Gamu, Tsutsui, and Miyoshi's house, either because we are young, or we are not seen at all, or as long as you are alone, you said that you agreed to them at the Tsutsui family at the time, and you have already become a samurai."
"But then, what do you do? Your martial arts are poor, I'm afraid you won't survive at all, so it's better for the two of us to be together. ”
"Hopefully there will be good luck this time."
At this time, a young man, who looked white and clean, his eyes were very bright, very clear, and his face was still a little immature, and he could see that he was still a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, but he was very tall, almost about one meter seven, and he definitely stood out in the island country, dressed plainly, and had a few patches on his body.
There is another teenager, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, also about 1.7 meters, his eyes are very sharp when he looks at people, and Changxiu, who was born in martial arts, has a feeling that this young man has killed people, and his eyebrows are distinct, his face gives people a sense of perseverance, and his hands are full of calluses, obviously a person who practices martial arts. The two men sat down beside them and didn't say anything.
"Hello, my name is Wanji, I am fourteen years old this year, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." The younger teenager greeted them and introduced himself with a smile.
"Takesui, eighteen years old." Manyoshi's companion said, but the one named Yorokuro felt that this person was more like Wanji's entourage.
"Ignore him, he's like this, it's cold on the surface, but his heart is not bad" Wanji said with a smile.
"I see, my name is Yorokuro Yamamoto, his name is Nagahide Sasaki, and we are both seventeen years old this year." Yamamoto and Rokuro also said with a smile.
"I don't even have a local accent!" Wan Ji said curiously.
"Yes, we're all from Omi Province." Yorokuro said.
"Omi! It's so far! There is also Yamashiro Province and Settsu Province in between! When he heard about Omi Province, Manyoshi was very surprised! Omi and Harima are indeed far away.
"You know a lot! Yes, it's coming to me. Yamamoto and Rokuro said with a laugh.
Yamamoto and Rokuro's words almost choked Wanyoshi, and the Takebei looked a little unhappy, but Wanji signaled that he was okay, so he didn't have a seizure.
"Are you also here to enlist samurai and ashigaru?" Wanji asked.
"You're wrong, we're only samurai, not insignificant." Sasaki Nagahide said sonorously.
"You said that your name is Sasaki Nagahide, and you are still from Omi, so are you the descendant of Sasaki Hideyoshiko?" Wan Ji asked suddenly.
"Speaking of which, it is the Omi Gen clan first-class, the descendant of Sasaki Genzaburo Hideyoshiko, and the Sasaki clan of the authentic Sasaki Village, but I am just a concubine, so I decided to come out and break through."
"Then we can still be regarded as our own family! Our family is also the descendants of Hideyoshi Sasaki of the Omi Genji clan! Wanji said with a smile.
"Really?" Sasaki Nagahide can also meet people of the same origin in Harima Country, and I also think it's incredible.
"Are you here to enlist?" Yamamoto and Rokuro asked vigilantly, he was afraid that these two people would hit Sasaki Nagahide's attention, and he was still counting on him to pull himself! If you are dragged away by these two people, then you really have no chance.
"Yes! But I'm just trying my luck with this guard. Wanji said with a smile.
"Really? You still look too young. Yamamoto and Rokuro said earnestly, although he wasn't that big.
"You see we came all the way from Omi, and there are Asai, Gamu, Sankumo, Ikeda, Bessho, Kajiwara and other families who think we are young, and the Kuroda family doesn't know yet." Nagahide Sasaki said.
They even went to inquire about the Kajiwara family in Takasago Castle, a branch of other families, and it can be seen that along the way, they have been to the big names, countrymen, and wealthy forces of all sizes, but they really didn't get any chances, maybe because they looked very ordinary, maybe they really disliked the grades, but it was a fact that they were turned away.
"Actually, I'm thinking, that's just their prevarication of us, you think that every family has fifteen or sixteen years old, or even thirteen or fourteen years old samurai, we are already seventeen years old, how can we be young? To put it bluntly, it just looks at the shabby clothes we wear and has no way, so they don't hire us, and they are afraid that we will be noisy, so they just give us a good reason to understand. But the Wanji brothers are really too small. The Kuroda family is said to be able to become samurai even craftsmen, and ninjas can become castle lords, so we should still have some chances. Yamamoto and Rokuro sighed suddenly, but when they talked about the Kuroda family, they seemed to have hope again, and their eyes flickered a little.
"Yorokuro, it's really like that when you say that, it's really like that!" Sitting on Sasaki, Nagahide picked his head and smirked.
"We also heard that the Kuroda family is meritococrat, so they came here to try their luck. And I heard that there are two monks and warriors in the Kuroda family, two ninja castle lords, and many ninjas, craftsmen, and craftsmen and samurai! Wan Ji said in a child's tone, and he looked very excited.
