After the defeat of the Mimura family, it was much more simple for the Kuroda family, except for the four hundred elite men and horses who stayed in the camp, all the other Kuroda family's men and horses, including the crossbow ashigaru with a short knife, were all dispatched, and the rout of the Mimura family was pursued, and after the pursuit went out for two miles, Kotera Zhigao ordered not to chase anymore, so the whole army collected troops and turned back to Senyu Castle for repair, so far the Kuroda family was considered to have achieved the final victory in the battle of Senyu Castle.

After defeating the Mimura army, the Kuroda family did not immediately begin to attack the other territories of Beichu, but only repaired at Senniwa Castle. Because after this battle, the Kuroda family learned after the war that more than 800 people were actually killed by the Mimura family, and the number of other injured and escaped is unknown, adding up to at least 1,000! However, these deceased were basically soldiers of the wealthy families who were vassals of the Three Villages, and the real losses of the Three Villages families did not exceed 300 people. This at least shows that the main force of the Mimura family is not damaged, and they can turn around again at any time, so the Kuroda family did not pursue, but prepared the army to advance steadily and steadily.

In order to improve the efficiency of the attack, the Kuroda family divided their army into two thousand-man teams, led by Ite Tomoji and Tsuchihi Yahachi, respectively, to sweep the surrounding counties of Kaya and Tony. The main force of the Kuroda family, 5,000 people, crossed the Fuhe River and advanced in the direction of Matsuyama Castle. Along the way, Oshima, Fukushima, and Shinjo three small wealthy people, when they heard that the Kuroda family army was coming, they all hurriedly sent people to the Kuroda family's army, praying for submission to the Kuroda family's command, and knowingly offered the surrender table and hostages, and when the Kuroda family's army came to the castle, respectfully opened the city to surrender, and sent food, and some also sent their own daughters, Kuroda Zhitaka is sexually interested, so Kuroda Zhitaka is very satisfied with their attitude, and when the small temple is high, there is no other action.

After that, the Kuroda family's army went smoothly all the way, and when they were marching forward, they also found a poor relative in Yakuya County, who was also called Kuroda, and the whole family had only one small stone and two hundred stone of land, and the entire population was only more than two hundred people, which was all the strength of the Kuroda family in China.

After hearing that the Kuroda family army had arrived at Harima Kunihimeji, the patriarch Kuroda Nobutaka personally took all the old and young people in the clan on the road to welcome the arrival of the Kuroda army. After all, it was Kuroda Miaozi, and out of importance, Kuroda took Koji Vocational High School and several major samurai to meet with Kuroda Shindaka.

This Kuroda was so simple and too cramped that the meeting was arranged in the camp of the army. Seeing the tragic situation of the Bichu Kuroda family, Kuroda Taktaka ordered some military rations to be taken out and supplied to the people of the Bichu Kuroda family. For the ordinary soldiers of the Kuroda family, these rice balls, salt, plums, and miso soup were just food and drink on the march.

However, for the Bichu Kuroda family, who lived here and were only the lowliest, it was good to have wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, and it was delicious to be able to eat rice balls made of white rice with a little salt. The plums in the rice balls are sour and make the mouth feel sluggish, and the food is choked, and it is so pleasant to drink a big flavor to increase the soup. When the Bichu Kuroda family eats this meal today, they feel even happier than the New Year.

In the middle of the camp, Kuroda Ichitaka sat at the top, next to Kodera Ichitaka, on the right were all important samurai of the Kuroda family, and on the left there was only Kuroda Nobutaka.

"In ShimoKuroda Nobutaka, I've seen Kuroda Danmasa-sama." Kuroda Nobutaka, whose hair was already gray, bowed to Kuroda and said respectfully.

"You're welcome, my lord, I'm all Kuroda Miao, but I don't know how the Kuroda family in China originates?" Kuroda asked.

"Danmasa-sama, it's thunderous for the Himeji Kuroda family! Speaking of the origin stream, we prepare the Kuroda family in China, but the source of Sasaki, the Sasaki Nobutsuna, the Kyogoku sect after the three men of the sect, after the ancestors moved here, has been in China for 50 years to recuperate. Kuroda Nobutaka was obviously ready for a long time, so as soon as Kuroda asked, Kuroda Nobutaka immediately told the origin of his family.

"It's the same as the family! This Kuroda family in China is really from the same origin as my Harima Kunihimeji Kuroda family. My grandfather is Kuroda Takamasa, the son of Kuroda Takamune, and I don't know ...... your family," Kuroda said excitedly, and then looked at Kuroda Nobutaka.

"Kuroda Takamune is the next grandfather, and his father is Kuroda Takashige, the second son of Kuroda Takamune." Kuroda Nobutaka said.

"It's unbelievable that we're so close to each other! In this way, I still want to call Lord Kuroda Nobutaka an uncle! Kuroda said with a smile.

Xiaoji Zhigao looked at the two of them, the world is really small! Kuroda Shigetaka and Kuroda Nobutaka, two old men, even have the same grandfather, and this relationship is much closer than the so-called homology of Sasaki Nagahide.

"The old man really can't play this uncle, the adult can admit that this clan of the family, and hundreds of people in the family are already grateful." Kuroda Nobutaka said.

"By the way, how much land does the Bichu Kuroda family currently receive?" Kuroda asked suddenly.

"Don't hide it, my family has a total of 200 stones of land nearby, which is the result of the struggle of our ancestors and grandchildren for three or four generations in preparing for China." Kuroda Shintaka said with some embarrassment.

"In that case, my lord, I intend to transfer the Kuroda family of China to the northern part of Harima Province for two hundred stones, I don't know what you think." Kuroda said with a smile to Kuroda Shintaka.

"This, is it two hundred stones in the northern part of Harima Country?" Nobutaka Kuroda looked a little disappointed, and his expression was all written on his face.

"Kuroda Nobutaka-sama doesn't know that the family is the first land to be obtained, and the new farming method of the family is used, and the land of 200 koku, as long as your family cultivates it properly, it is not a problem to produce 500 koku per year." At this time, the small temple vocational high school on the side said to Kuroda Shintaka without any tone.

"Is there such a thing? The land of 200 stones produces 500 stones a year, and the old man has never heard of such a miracle! No wonder the Himeji Kuroda family has developed so rapidly. Kuroda Nobutaka said in surprise.

"It's true, some of the Ming people who were received by my family before used 4,000 stone of land to obtain 8,000 stone of land through reclamation, which is enough to feed 40,000 people." Kodera said, still without any tone, just as if he was expounding on a thing. (To be continued.) )
