Or it is expected that the Kuroda family stabbed a herd of more than 100,000 wild boars (like the wild boar herd riot in Princess Mononoke), or that there was a powerful demon such as a ghost god boy, or that it happened to meet a hundred ghosts and kill the Kuroda family's army in one go. Otherwise www.biquge.info in the face of dozens or hundreds of defenders, the Kuroda family would not be so easy to make mistakes.

For example, the Ijiin family, they still have more than 80 relatives samurai and ashigaru left behind to defend the base, and before the arrival of the Kuroda family, they have already recruited the defenders to the maximum extent, plus a hundred old, weak, sick and disabled peasant soldiers, and more than 30 strong female dependents in the city, this is all the strength of the Ijiin family.

In fact, after the Ijiin family sent out nearly 300 people, being able to organize such a number of people already shows the strength of their family, you must know that at the beginning of the Kuroda family, the military strength is probably not enough to reach such a level, and the Ijiin family is also a powerful and wealthy family of Satsuma country with only 5,000 stone land.

And the Kuroda family's Imate Tomokiyo, after the territory of the Qidain family stabilized, only took more than a thousand people with only one day to easily capture the Ijiin family's residence.

After capturing the city, all the direct males of the Ijiin family became the souls of the sword after falling into the city, so as to ensure the severance of the bloodline of the Ijiin family. And the female dependents of the Ijiin family were divided among the soldiers of the Kuroda family, and then they went.

The other divisions of the Shimazu family that were ready to resist the Kuroda family, such as the Kayama family and the Kiiri family, all showed absolute tenacity in the face of the Kuroda family's attack, even if the number was not large, and they were still old, weak, sick and disabled, but they all fought tenaciously according to this castle and Kuroda until the last soldier.

Shimazu Yoshitora, the head of the Izumi Shimazu family, was ambushed by Hanafang Masayuki in the previous battle because of the army he led, and suffered heavy casualties, and he himself was also wounded, and was finally forced to retreat to Izumi Castle to defend.

After returning to the city, Shimazu Yoshitora, who had been inquiring for news, also secretly organized a team of 400 people again to prepare for the attack of the Kuroda family at any time. However, because his men and horses were too small, after learning the lesson of being surrounded and sent for reinforcements last time, he could only close the city gate first, prepare to defend the city, and was unwilling to take the initiative to find trouble again.

Later, I heard that Shimazu Yoshihisa was defeated by the Kuroda family in Mt. Takachiho, and retreated to the territory of the Hishigari family, and finally loyal to the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshitora decided to lead this team after consulting the opinions of everyone under his command, relying on his own understanding of the terrain of Satsuma, secretly passed through the north of the territory of the Kitatsuin family, came to the original territory of the Hishigari family, and joined Shimazu Yoshihisa.

To be honest, in the face of the other Shimazu family divisions, the Kuroda family, even if they only sent a small army, was a one-sided massacre.

However, the tenacity of these wealthy families and countrymen from the Shimazu family in Satsuma Province, as well as the belligerent psychology of this group of people, taught the elite soldiers of the Kuroda family a good lesson, letting them know that there were such a brave opponent. It seems that you have to train well in the future, otherwise if you encounter such an enemy on the battlefield again, you may really die.

It took half a month for the Kuroda family to roughly sweep away the large and small forces of the entire Satsuma country, and for the dozen or so large and small forces that were subdued, plus the Yingwa family that belonged to the liver Fu family in the south, the Kuroda family was not too difficult for him, after all, these are all families that have a certain holiday with the Shimazu family, and they are also families that have been verified by the concentric public, and they are the power that the Kuroda family can use.

However, there are more than a dozen small forces that are forces with unknown intentions, but they have already surrendered to the Kuroda family, and they basically can't make any waves, so they don't pay too much attention to it.

From the very beginning, the Kuroda family, because of Kuroda Shigetaka's teachings, believed that all the power that could be used for themselves could be accepted by the Kuroda family.

At the end of June of the third year of Motokame (1572 AD), Shimazu Iehisa contacted the Sagara family, the Ito family, the Kitahara family, and the Sagara family contacted the Aso family, where their allies Kai Muneun were located.

The head of the Sagara family, Yoshiyo Sagara, is a very strong person, otherwise it would not be possible to solve the situation that has plagued the Sagara family for decades that the retainers are stronger than the main family in a few years, and successfully make the Sagara family famous.

For the idea of the Shimazu family asking for unity, he actually agrees very much, and this is not a difficult reason to understand, because the Kuroda family is indeed too powerful for southern Kyushu.

If the daimyo of Southern Kyushu don't unite, it will be really difficult to fight against the Kuroda family, and if they really fight separately in the end, the result will inevitably be broken by each one, unless it is to contact the Otomo family in the north.

However, the Sagara family was worried about the Kuroda family's invasion of southern Kyushu and hoped to defeat the Kuroda family. But at the same time, Sagara Yoshio is also worried that after defeating the Kuroda family, the Shimazu family will develop its territory like before, and the virtues of the Shimazu family are too well known as Sagara Yoshiyo, who is also a daimyo of southern Kyushu.

So when the Shimazu family asked to jointly send troops to deal with the Kuroda family, Sagara Yoshiyo agreed without thinking about it, but in the end he agreed to the conditions for them to send troops, and the two sides argued for several days.

In the end, as long as the Kuroda family can be defeated, the Sagara family and the Kitahara family will divide the territory of the Hishigari family, and the Ito family will get the Iino land of Minami Hyuga Province, which is actually in the hands of the Shimazu family. At the same time, the Shimazu family must also agree that within three years, they will not be allowed to attack the Liver Fu family and the Qida Yuan family.

The division of land, especially the land of the Shimazu family, was originally a weakening of the Shimazu family, because these two pieces of land were more important to the Shimazu family.

The Iino region is a coastal plain, and the name suggests that the land is fertile and fertile, and it is the last thing the Shimazu family wants to give up after living in Satsuma for many years.

But now Shimazu Yoshihisa has been forced by the Kuroda family to the border between Higo and Satsuma, which is the territory of the Ryogami family, which is a mountainous land, and the continuous mountains provide rich forest resources, and trees are definitely an important strategic resource in the era of cold weapons.
