Chapter 17 Hamada Castle
The battle that followed was not very easy for the Kuroda family, because their opponents were not at all like the defeated army that was already facing death, but more like a glorious samurai who fought firmly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although nearly three or four hundred people from the Kuroda family have entered the Imperial Pavilion, except for the Ohiroma of the Imperial Pavilion, which was relatively easy to occupy, the courtyard corridor after that, because the people of the Yoshimi family relied on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, almost every room was repeatedly fought with the Kuroda family, so the whole battle was extremely hard.
In the end, after nearly half an hour of hard fighting, all the people of the Yoshimi family in the imperial hall were all killed by the Kuroda family. They also made the Kuroda family pay the price of more than forty casualties. You must know that at this time, there are only more than forty people left in the entire Yoshimi family, which is already a very remarkable achievement when it is already surrounded by the Kuroda family.
Indeed, as Yoshimi Masayori said, in the face of the absolute superiority of the Kuroda family, the Yoshimi family showed the glory of a samurai from a famous samurai family.
This did cause some casualties to the Kuroda family, and it also made the Yoshimi family pay a great price for themselves, in order to avenge these soldiers, the soldiers of the Kuroda family found almost all the families of the Yoshimi family who participated in the resistance, and gathered them all, as for the subsequent venting of anger, I will not show it here, but this action was agreed by Matsui Shigetaka.
After all, it was their family who did something that made the Kuroda family angry, and what they are doing now is also a common phenomenon in this Warring States, and it is not a heinous thing.
It's just that the Kuroda family is relatively civilized, and all the men will be used as coolies for the Kuroda family, and they will never be able to turn over. And a few young women will be the spoils of this time to give to the meritorious, while the others will not be so lucky.
As for a samurai of the Yoshimi family, among the important figures, Yoshimi Masashi, who was personally killed by the Hattori clan, and seized the castle gate at the beginning, he made the greatest achievement in this battle. The other samurai who entered the Imperial Pavilion almost all had their own gains, and even Yukimi Mugata had another head in the account.
Regarding the death of Konobu Megada, Matsui Shigetaka immediately gave instructions and reported the matter to Kuroda Vocational High School, who was far away in Kuroda Castle, and Kuroda Vocational High School, who was already sitting in Yasuki Country.
As a mid-to-high-ranking samurai of the Kuroda family, the body of Konobu Megada will also be transported back to Kuroda Castle for burial immediately after proper disposal. It is foreseeable that in order to make a statement, the Kuroda family will definitely give him a generous burial.
However, when deciding on the treatment of Megada Yukinobu, Kuroda encountered a problem, that is, Megata Yukinobu did not have his own heirs. The historical Konobu Megada had children when he was subordinate to Akechi Mitsuhide.
But that was many years later, when Yukinobu Mogata was almost an old man, and he just died as a young man in his thirties.
So now the aftermath of Konobu's death after Mogada's death has become more troublesome for the Kuroda family, at least in the eyes of Kuroda Itakaka, who doesn't understand the situation.
When Hongo Kamitoyo died before, he had all the children, and there was no problem with the continuation of his family and the inheritance of the territory. The only thing to decide is how much reward to give to the local family as compensation.
But now, when Megada Yukinoshi died, including the fiefdom owned by his family at the beginning, there were nearly 1,000 koku, and when he surrendered to the Kuroda family, he also received hundreds of koku as a reward.
Now that he has no heirs of his own, it is a matter of choice as to who will inherit his family and land, whether the Kuroda family will take it back outright, or if it is some other choice.
Because now in the Kuroda family, there are countless pairs of eyes watching, there are wealthy clans and countrymen who have previously surrendered to the Kuroda family, and there are also retainers of the Kuroda family, they are all watching how the Kuroda family deals with this matter.
If the Kuroda family can come up with a way to deal with it properly and satisfy everyone, then it will be fine, if everything is not properly arranged in the end, it will inevitably cause a big storm in the Kuroda family.
Look at it! Megada Yukinoshi died, but because he had no heirs, the Kuroda family dared to dispose of his property casually, and if this was the case, the blow to the Kuroda family could be imagined. After all, this will cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of the dependent wealthy families. I don't know when it will end up causing a lot of trouble to the Kuroda family, which is what Kuroda is worried about.
What are these wealthy clans, countrymen, samurai, and retainers who have taken refuge under the Kuroda family, obeyed the orders of the Kuroda family, and fought desperately for the Kuroda family? It's not just to be able to get a piece of Zhixing land, but to be able to inherit the land, and give it to your children and grandchildren, and continue your family.
Kuroda Vocational High School is now a little unable to sleep well even because of this matter, and in the end there is no way but to count on Kuroda Vocational High School, Shigeharu Takenaka, and Sanada Masayuki to find a way.
But just when the middle ninja Zhi Kiyohiro sent out by Kuroda Vocational High had not yet left Kuroda Castle, he met Kuroda Vocational High School sent over, and his fellow ninja Zhi Mantian.
Along with Zhezhi Manda, there was also Kuroda Vocational High School and Takenaka Shigeharu after discussing it, and told Kuroda Vocational Takashi Megada Yukinobu about the solution.
This method of dealing with Konobu Mogata was a relatively convincing result obtained by Kuroda Vocational High School and Shigeharu Takenaka after they and Matsui Shigetaka had a more detailed understanding of the entire incident, the cause of Yukinobu's death, and the situation of his family.
Because this matter is really a wide range of issues, and even related to the stability of the wealthy families and people in the territory, Kuroda did not dare to make any decision rashly even after reading the letter.
In the end, all the retainers and samurai of the head of the Ashigaru group who remained in Kuroda Castle were summoned to the castle tower Ohiroma, and there was a fierce discussion about the proposal of Kuroda Vocational High School and Takenaka Shigeharu.
You must know that this matter itself has nothing to do with them, but the issue of the division of interests represented behind this matter is closely related to them and even their families. Except for the entire sect of Enryakuji Temple, which has been indifferent to fame and fortune, no one else dares to have any slackness.
