And now, most of the craftsmen in the Kuroda family's workshops are craftsmen from the Ming Kingdom, who are not only hard-working, but also full of wisdom, and from time to time there are some unexpected proposals and inventions, so that the Kuroda family's handicraft industry and military industry have made great progress.

Now that the Kuroda family's military has been developed, the next step is naturally military expansion, and after the discussion of the Kuroda family, Kuroda decided that in the future, the Kuroda family's strategy is: befriend the other family, defend and develop Bizen country, and attack Tajima, Inaba and Tango country.

As Umino Nobuyoshi said before, but the Ikuno Silver Mountain on the border of Equestria is very important for the future development of the Kuroda family, and after obtaining the Silver Mountain, the Kuroda family can use the income of the silver mountain to buy a large number of various strategic materials needed, whether it is to buy gunpowder, saltpeter, ammunition, or grain in the Ming Kingdom, it is beneficial to the Kuroda family.

The strength of the Yamana family is not strong, the lord of the country, Yamana Yutoyo, is soft in his governance methods, and the national government is all in Ota Gaki Terunobu, Gakiya Susei, Yagi Toyonobu, and Tayususo are the hands of the four heavenly kings of Yoshiyamana, as long as they can take advantage of the contradictions between the four families to carry out a division and attack, they will definitely be able to easily capture Tajima Province, as for Tango and Inaba, it is all after Tajima Province.

The Kuroda family has not been idle for the past four months, and two hundred concentric people have infiltrated Tajima Province in batches. The Tajima family, the large and small wealthy families, the mutual relations, the distribution of castles, the mountains and rivers, all did their best to understand in as much detail as possible, and the Kuroda family wanted to attack, and the righteous name needed fell on the subordinates of the Otagaki family, the lord of Iwashu in Asakami County.

The reason why the Otagaki family in Takeda Castle in Asrai County was able to rise was to take advantage of the weakness of the family owner to grab the main income of Ikuno Ginzan, but this caused the Otagaki family to have a great contradiction with the other three, but based on the fact that the Otagaki family is really strong, the three families can only bow their heads and sulk, and they can't take the Otagaki family well.

The reason why Wakaya Sumitsu was identified as a breakthrough and the leading party was because when the Otagaki family occupied Ikuno Silver Mountain behind the back of the main family, they attacked Iwashu Castle, and Wakaya Sumitsu's father Wakaya Toyomitsu was killed by the Otagaki family in that battle, and Wakaya Xumitsu, who was only fifteen years old at the time, led the clan to surrender to the Otagaki family, but his mother was robbed by the Otagaki family, and was finally ravaged to death, in his young heart, the Otagaki family was the enemy who killed his father and mother, and this shadow was lingering for him. He has been pretending to serve the Otagaki family all these years, but in fact he is just trying to survive, looking for an opportunity to avenge the murder of his father and mother.

The Tongxin people escorted Yamamoto Takaquan to Iwashu Castle in Chaolai County, and asked to see the lord of the castle, Wakaya Sumitsu. When he heard that the Kuroda family, the powerful daimyo of Harima Province and Bizen Province in the south, had sent someone to see him, Wakaya Sumitsu's instincts reminded him that his chance for revenge seemed to have arrived.

As soon as Yamamoto Takaquan walked into the reception room, Wakaya Xuguang was already seated on the main seat.

"At the Shimokuda family, Yamamoto Takatsu, meet Wakaya Tsushimamoru-sama." This so-called Tsushima Mamoru is just an official name inherited from the Wakaya family, but now the 600,000 emissaries of the Ishiguro family can treat themselves so respectfully. Wakatani felt that even if he was used this time, as long as he could avenge his parents, it would be worth it.

"The name of Yamamoto-sama has been heard of a lot, but in Tajima country, Yamamoto-sama has a name that is unparalleled!" Wakaya said with a smile.

"The adults praised it falsely, they just moved their mouths in the next place, and they couldn't compare to the adults in the family to fight, they are the warriors who need to be praised! It's really not worth mentioning below. Takashi Yamamoto said.

"I don't know what Yamamoto-sama is here to ask for!"

"I'm here to save the lives of adults."

"Oh! Where does this come from? Wakaya bowed forward, his eyes closed slightly, and said coldly.

"Don't hide it from your lord, your lord has never been loyal to Otagaki either!" Ryūquan Yamamoto looked at Wakaya and said with a smile.

"How can this be? Below is the outer retainer of the Otagaki family, how can he be disloyal to the Otagaki family? Wakaya said coldly.

"But as far as the Kuroda family knows, the Otagaki family is a good guard against adults! It is likely to be bad for adults. Ryūquan Yamamoto suddenly said solemnly.

"How do you talk about that?" Wakaya said with some panic.

"Is there a servant in your family's house named Shinzo?"

"But there is such a person, and the Kuroda family even knows about it." Wakatani was a little shocked.

"If I'm not mistaken, he came to Iwashu City two years ago, and he was a spy sent by Otagaki Huiyan, and Lord Otagaki should know everything about his life, words and deeds!"

"What?" Wakaya Xuguang stood up and said in shock: "Someone! ”

"What do you command?" The two guards immediately walked in and asked, half-kneeling.

"Where is the new treasure now? Bring it to me right away. Wakaya said loudly.

"Hey"

Two minutes later, the guard ran back and said, "My lord, according to the castle keeper Ashigaru, Shinzo left the castle as soon as Yamamoto-sama asked to see him. ”

"What?" Wakatani sat on the ground all of a sudden.

"My lord, two ninjas from the Kuroda family asked to see them outside the castle with the body of Shinzo, and now they are surrounded by the main family's ashigaru." At this time, another attendant came to the reception room, and Yamamoto Takashi smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Tell the soldiers not to be embarrassed by the Kuroda family, and bring them here quickly." Wakatani had no idea at this time, so he immediately ordered someone to bring Kuroda to endure it.

"Hey!"

Soon, the two ninjas were surrounded by several Wakaya family ashigaru and pushed in not very friendly, along with the newly hidden corpse. The two ninjas didn't speak, but just saluted Ryagoquan Yamamoto and Wakaya Sumitsu and stood aside.

"My lord, this is found on Shinzo." One of the attendants handed a letter to Wakatani Sumitsu.

Wakaya Xuguang immediately took the letter, shook the folded letter with his hand, and immediately turned bad after reading the letter.

"Old thief Otagaki Huiyan, I really don't trust him, in this case, if you want my life, I can't let you have a good time." Wakaya Xuguang clenched his hands into fists and said loudly excitedly. Wakatani strode over to Ryakasumi Yamamoto and sat down, looking at Yamamoto Ryashiro face to face.

"Lord Yamamoto, I will entrust this lowly net worth and life to the Kuroda family now, I don't know if I can trust the Kuroda family in the next place?"

"As long as the adults accompany the Kuroda family to perform a play, the Kuroda family will not only fulfill the adult's wish for revenge, but the adult will get more from the Kuroda family."

"Can the Kuroda family really help you get revenge?"

"Of course, please trust the Kuroda family's abilities." After that, Yamamoto Takaquan put his head in front of Wakaya Xuguang, said a few words, narrowed his eyes, and nodded.

Wakaya Sumitsu immediately bowed to Yamamoto Takatsu, "Please leave it to the Kuroda family in the future." ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Tsushima."
