Chapter 21: The Seven Cities of Songshan (3)
At this time, a samurai of the Kuroda family (Kinoshita Hidenaga) came to Matsushima Castle and shouted loudly: "All of you in Matsushima Castle are entrusted by the Kuroda family's governor, Kuroda Danmasa, to come to advise you, the Kuroda family does not want to kill more in Fuchuan Castle, so I advise the Matsushima family to surrender to the Kuroda family as soon as possible, so as not to cause the soldiers and people of this city to suffer from the disaster of swords."

"Lord", "Lord", "Please think about it! "Yes! As soon as Kinoshita Hidecho finished speaking, the retainers of the Matsushima family immediately said to Matsushima Goemon.
What Matsushima Goemon didn't expect was that the envoy of the Kuroda family had just said such a thing, and several of his powerful retainers had surrounded him, and they were talking to him with pleading expectations, although no one said that he wanted to surrender to the Kuroda family, but Matsushima Goemon knew that these two and five boys were already thinking about the Kuroda family.
To tell the truth, Matsushima Goemon himself is also very interested now, after all, only by living can he continue to live a fairly good life like now, surviving in the troubled times of the Warring States, he really doesn't pay much attention to the so-called righteousness, and people who teach righteousness are probably not going to die well! Let's talk about it, he really doesn't want to be buried for the three village families.
But I just surrendered! I'm still a little unwilling, so why don't you talk to this Kuroda family's envoy about the conditions for surrendering! After all, now his retainers are already thinking of surrendering, if he strongly opposes it, maybe these guys will kill their own lord in order to save their lives, he has no doubt about the determination of these people to rebel, this can be regarded as the sorrow of his governor!
Matsushima Goemon is a relatively decisive person, and he immediately did not hesitate when he thought of him. He came to the front of the castle wall and shouted to Kinoshita Hidecho below: "This lord of the Kuroda family, the head of the Matsushima family, Matsushima Goemon, is the head of the Matsushima family, although he is a subordinate of the Mimura family, but the Shimoto and Matsushima families really don't want to be enemies of the powerful Kuroda family, but I just want to know what conditions are needed if the family submits to the Kuroda family!" ”
"Lord Matsushima, the Matsushima family has 2,000 stone from Matsushima Castle here, and the lord said that the Matsushima family will transfer 1,600 stone to Inaba Country, and if you send hostages and surrender tables, you can submit to the Kuroda family." Kinoshita said loudly.
The Matsushima family's land of 2,000 koku was able to send 300 troops, which shows that the Matsushima family was really reckless, or Matsushima Goemon was so scared that he was forced to fight against the Kuroda family.
"Is it only 1,600 stones?" Matsushima Goemon heard the Kuroda family's conditions and looked a little disappointed. After all, there are a lot fewer territories, which is not a good thing for the Matsushima family after all, and these territories have been accumulated by the Matsushima family for several generations.
"Don't hesitate, my lord" "Yes! Sixteen hundred stone is much better than the destruction of the family" "Yes! There is hope to be alive."
Everyone in the Matsushima family was a little hesitant when they saw Matsushima Goemon, so they all began to persuade Matsushima Goemon to make the decision to accept the submission as soon as possible.
"This, hey! There really was no reason for the family to resist any longer, so they surrendered. "After Matsushima Goemon said his decision to submit to the Kuroda family, the entire Matsushima family breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they didn't have to fight the Kuroda family, and staying alive was more important than anything else.
At the same time, Fuchuan Castle and the soldiers of the Kuroda family had also set up a position under the city.
"Yamamoto Takatsu, you go and persuade you to surrender first, if you don't surrender, Mibu Kyoshiro, Oda Shigetsu, Oda Ryotsu, Kosaii Zhennao, Saito Nagami, you can take a thousand people to attack the city directly." Koji Zhigao said loudly.
"Hey!" The people immediately received the command.
"In the Shimokuda family, Yamamoto Takaquan, everyone in Fuchuan City, the Kuroda family hopes that you can submit to the Kuroda family, I hope you must think carefully, after all, there is only hope if you live, and the Mimura family has actually abandoned you, why don't you hurry up and return to the family, lest the family make more killings." Ryūquan Yamamoto said loudly.
"The Kuroda family is dead! There is a lot of kindness from the Mimura family in Xia, and it is difficult to repay it even if you die, and now is the best opportunity to be loyal to the Mimura family in Xia, so you will never surrender to the Kuroda family. The general of Fuchuan City said loudly, he didn't want to think that he was actually an abandoned person of the Mimura family, and it was indeed very rare to be so loyal.
"In that case, please be prepared to face the wrath of the Kuroda family! Everyone in the city listened well, the Kuroda family would never do anything to the soldiers, but as long as they resisted, the family would definitely kill all the people who resisted. Yamamoto Takaquan finally dropped a cruel word and turned back.
The Kuroda family's two hundred crossbows slowly moved forward, and after entering the range of fire, they quickly found their respective targets in the castle. "Whoosh" After a burst of crossbow arrows broke through the air, it immediately brought down more than a dozen defenders at the head of the city. It only took one salvo to make the defenders of Fuchuan City not cold, which made the crossbowmen depressed for a while, and finally had a little chance to play a role, but the opponent was too uncompetitive and was suppressed so easily, which was really frustrating.
"Attack" Seeing that Fuchuan City refused to surrender, and the crossbow ashigaru had suppressed the city, Xiaoji Zhigao said coldly.
"Kill" After Mibu Kyoshiro heard the order of Koji Zhigao to attack, although Li Fuchuan City was still far away, he had already begun to roar loudly, and the sound was huge, just like the howl of a wild beast, listening to it made people's hearts palpitate, not to mention the enemy on the opposite side, even Koji Zhigao and his own subordinates were startled, this is really a fierce beast!
Especially frightened is the small temple vocational high school, because the two still see each other often, in his image, this young man has always been a very shy, and a little shy person, when he sees people, sometimes he is reluctant to talk to people, in fact, he is embarrassed!
But I didn't expect that on the battlefield, this Mibu Kyoshiro would completely change a person, his eyes felt red, and he was holding a katana, and he felt like he was possessed by another person. Is there a dual personality?
After so many years of training, especially under the strict requirements of his brother, he is indeed in amazing physical fitness, not only rushed to the front, but also left his team far behind him, until he arrived at the castle, only to find that the ladder was carried in the hands of the soldiers behind! I could only stand under the city and wait for my team to hurry up and carry the ladder over. (To be continued.) )
