Chapter 30 Guarding the Generals and Promises

"Uncle, what a clever plan! I haven't said it yet, but you know that this is a task for you, and I really can't compare to my uncle!. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Kuroda said with a look of seriousness.

"Officer and soldier, you kid don't pat me on the back, who are you, don't I know yet?" Matsui Shigetaka hammered him and said.

"But there is one thing that my uncle must know, this new Akama Pass is only a place for troops to be stationed in the future, and it is only temporary, so there is no need to build it luxuriously, after all, it will only be a transit place at that time, and it is likely to be a one-time building, so there is no need to spend too much.

You only need to build as large as possible, which can accommodate 20,000 people, and one thing is more important, that is, you also need to build a relatively large granary, and you also need to build a relatively large granary in the Yamaguchi Museum, your home base in Nagato Province, and you need to transfer the grain to Akama Pass before the war. ”

"I understand what you mean, in that case, when the two countries of Zhou and Chang carry out the demolition of the castle in the future, I will not burn all the materials that have been demolished on the spot, but all the materials that can continue to be used will be packed and transported, and these materials will be transported to Akama Pass and Yamaguchikan, and will be used for the construction of Akama Pass, Mizuki and Yamaguchikan's granary." Matsui Shigetaka nodded and said.

"It's up to my uncle to decide! There is also Akama Pass is the most important place in Zhou and Chang now, and it can even be said that it is a very important place for the family to attack this Kyushu in the future, and my uncle will be in the middle of the Yamaguchi Pavilion at that time, so Akama Pass is such an important place, it must be defended by someone with outstanding ability, but I don't know who my uncle is going to defend here? Kuroda Vocational High School asked with some concern at this time, because to be honest, the people under the command of Matsui Shigetaka are still somewhat biased, and there are no people who are both civil and military, so Kuroda Vocational High School has this question.

"Gonggong Wei, I have an idea." Matsui Shigetaka thought about it for a long time before he said seriously to Kuroda Vocational High School.

"Oh! Uncle, please speak. ”

"Kannone, what do you think of letting the Hattori clan and Ota Hara clan work together as guards?" Shigetaka Matsui spoke his mind.

"They! I know these two people, and they are really very capable, but there are relatively few wars on my uncle's side, so their reputation is not obvious. Isn't the relationship between the two of them very good, if they are together, one article and one martial arts, one relaxation, make up for each other, complement each other, uncle's arrangement is good, uncle's current command, there seems to be no better candidate than this, since this is the case, leave it to them! Kuroda said.

"And the death of Konobu Mugada before, in the next generation of his family, thank you to the guard."

"Lord Konobu Megada! After all, he died for the cause of his family, and there was nothing to be thankful for doing so. For the sake of the prosperity of their own family, they were born and died regardless of their own safety, and no matter what, they couldn't chill the hearts of those retainers who followed our Kuroda family all the way! Kuroda said very solemnly.

"That's true, although Lord Konobu Megada is still a little inferior in ability after coming to this family, he has always been conscientious in his work, and he has never made a big mistake, and he is a commendable samurai. I know from Lord Komi Megada that this time Lord Konobu Megata is also very meritorious, and Yoshimi Masayori does not accept the rule of asking for a ride, so it is a pity that he was poisoned by the wicked. ”

"By the way, my uncle, from the information of the people of my family, I found out that the new head of the Megada family, who is also the new samurai of my uncle, is a samurai who is very cautious, commands properly, can command properly in adversity, and is extremely brave, is this actually the case?" Kuroda asked.

"Yukimi-sama Megada, is that? From the description of Ota Haramune, it is indeed like this, after the death of Lord Konobu Mogada, he stabilized the offensive situation of his family, and has always resisted Yoshimi Masanori's counterattack, and forced him to return to the Imperial Palace, beheaded Yoshimi Masanori's second son, and led a team to kill more than 30 people, and he was indeed a very capable samurai.

After the battle of Hamada Castle, I also talked to Megata Yukimi-sama alone, and he is indeed very capable, at least more capable than his brother, and he is still a person of affection, and he is also very popular in his family, so I finally recommended him to inherit everything from Megata Yukinobu. Matsui Shigetaka said.

"I see! Since he is a capable samurai, then my uncle should use it properly! Later, when I went out to Kyushu, my family really needed such a cautious and warlike samurai! ”

"That's true! The number of such samurai is not much. Matsui Shigetaka said with a smile.

"There are also Otani Moriji, Kosaii Zhennao, Saito Nagami, Irita Yoshimi, and Irita Qinli, all of whom are veteran samurai retainers who entered the family very early, and they are all retainers of the original Otomo family, because of the Otomo family's previous second-order collapse rebellion in order to compete for the position of family governor, the Otomo family was forced to leave in order to survive, so they joined the main family."

"I know this very well, so I can understand their feelings." Matsui Shigetaka said.

Because of this, they had already written to their fathers, hoping to participate in this expedition to Kitakyushu. Also, back then, I had made a similar promise to Moriharu Otani, so I had to let them attack Kyushu together.

In addition, there is Harada Yoshitan-sama of the main family, who was originally the Omiya Division of the Kaharu Shrine in Kitakyushu, and is also the lord of Kaharudake Castle, a big force in Kitakyushu. It's just to protect his own territory and oppose the invasion of Otomo Zonglin, so he was wiped out by the Otomo family, and then came to his family with hatred.

Nabeshima Kiyonobu-sama of the main family left Kyushu with a few samurai who supported him because of the issue of family inheritance, and had a grudge against the current head of the Nabeshima family, his half-brother Nabeshima Kiyofu, and joined the command of the family, and his request at that time was to be the vanguard of the attack on Kitakyushu.

I can understand their thoughts, after all, they all left their hometown because of various unacceptable events. ”
