Chapter 41: Ikeda's Thoughts

"Hmmm! Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand your feelings, and I know what we are facing now. I regret to tell you www.biquge.info that my family is indeed in a very dangerous situation now.

However, I, Yoshihiro Shimazu, would like you to remember that my Shimazu family is a famous family with a history of 400 years, and in the history of this family over 400 years, it can be said that there are countless situations that have faced more dangerous situations than they are now.

Now the lord has indeed been defeated by the Kuroda family, and we are also besieged by the Kuroda family, but you must have confidence in the lord, since the information said that the lord and the main army of the main family were not completely wiped out by the Kuroda family, but were defeated, it is very likely that the brigade led by the lord of the family and Shiro was still saved in the battle. As long as they exist, we cannot give up on ourselves, because there is still hope for our family.

No matter how powerful the Kuroda family is, after all, it is an outsider, and many wealthy families and countrymen are still oriented towards the family, and the daimyo of Southern Kyushu will inevitably know the relationship between the lips and the teeth, so as long as the family continues to resist under the leadership of the lord, it will definitely be able to defeat the Kuroda family in the end.

As for us, I just heard an adult say that we have had a hard time, and that is true, and that is indeed a very difficult situation right now, and I do not deny that at all. Including I, Yoshihiro Shimazu, we were all surrounded by the Kuroda family. To tell you the truth, if we don't get timely rescue, we will probably have to bleed for days. But what I want to tell you is that the people of my Shimazu family should never be afraid, because we are all people of Satsuma country, and even if we die, the people of my Satsuma country will not bow their heads, and they will definitely resist, what do you think? ”

"I'm willing to fight with the Kuroda family to the end." Ashigaru, who had just been bandaging his wound, stood up and shouted loudly.

"Fight to the end!" "Fight to the end!" "Fight to the end!" "Fight to the end!"

"Very well, I hope you can join me to show the Kuroda family the courage of my Shimazu family, and I will leave the battle to you." Yoshihiro Shimazu shouted.

"Hey!" The crowd shouted loudly.

Everyone was shouting hard, and even the outermost people of the Kuroda family outside could hear it clearly. Only Ikeda Sadahide, who was behind Shimazu Yoshihiro, had something imperceptible in his eyes, because he deliberately hid it, and he also made a move and shouted slogans, so everyone present didn't see what he looked like at this moment, and they didn't know what he was thinking just now.

That night, Arikawa Sadama anxiously ran into the palace and saw Shimazu Yoshihiro who was drinking tea, because he knew his possible ending, so Shimazu Yoshihiro seemed very calm at this time.

Arikawa Zhenzhen shouted loudly: "Lord, something is wrong. ”

"Zenmata Shiro, why are you so flustered?" Yoshihiro Shimazu poured himself a drink.

"Lord...... Lord...... Event...... Big things are not good. Arikawa Sadama obviously ran all the way because the matter was urgent, and he was out of breath, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then calmed his breath before continuing: "My lord, Ikeda Sadahide has just opened the door of Honmaru, and the army of the Kuroda family has already entered, please hurry up and make a decision." ”

"What...... Sadahide Ikeda. After Shimazu Yoshihiro heard the news, he could no longer remain calm at this time, and the tea bowl in his hand fell directly to the ground and fell into several petals, and the tea splashed all over him, and he didn't know it.

"Hey! Lord, it's true, Ikeda Sadahide has already called with someone from the Kuroda family. ”

Ikeda Sadahide obviously decided to take refuge in the Kuroda family when the Shimazu family was gone, and Shimazu Yoshihiro obviously did not have any psychological preparation for his rebellion, so he was so surprised.

After all, Arikawa Sadama and Ikeda Sadahide were both able to get to their current position because of Shimazu Yoshihiro's appreciation and promotion, otherwise it would be difficult for them to get ahead as the eldest son of their small wealthy family.

Ikeda had actually heard from Arikawa that the Kuroda family had defeated Shimazu Yoshihisa for a long time, and he had already begun to think about his retreat.

Because this time Shimazu Yoshihiro really looked at people and looked away, Ikeda Sadahide is not a warrior who dares to die for his family, he is just an ordinary person with good ability, but he is still very afraid of death. Sometimes an ordinary person is likely to do anything ridiculous in fear, let alone a coward like him, so it is not incomprehensible that he wants to be a husband and the Kuroda family.

He had calculated an account before, and this account was very simple, just this attack by the Kuroda family was like this, the Shimazu family paid more than sixty casualties, and now there are more than two hundred people left in the Shimazu family, what does this mean, as long as the Kuroda family is not suffering from head cramps, or deliberately releasing water, the Kuroda family may only need three or four attacks at most, and they can capture the Honmaru in the inner city.

And if the Kuroda family performs better, it is not impossible to capture Honmaru in the next attack. Anyway, no matter what, the Kuroda family will soon be able to take the inner castle, and no matter how much the Shimazu family resists, in the end it will only be a matter of surviving a few more days.

Sadahide Ikeda is now very envious of Shigeharu Takenaka, and he also really wants to be like him. The other party seems to be a samurai who stands in the rear to give advice, but he doesn't need to go to the battlefield, and leaves everything to the samurai who kills the enemy in front, just to reap the final fruits of victory, and get the corresponding rewards and fiefs, what an enviable thing.

He felt that after entering the Kuroda family with his ability, as long as he could perform seriously, he could also become a strategist like Shigeharu Takenaka.

It's good for Ikeda Sadahide to think about it, as the Kuroda family continues to develop, there will be opportunities in the future, not necessarily to compete for temporary merit, as long as you slowly survive in the Kuroda family in the end, you will always have a day to get ahead in the future, just like you were discovered by Shimazu Yoshihiro.

When Ikeda learned that he was going to be assigned a night patrol tonight, he immediately found a few of his fellow people who could be relieved to discuss the matter.

These people were only relatives of his own family before, and it was after he became Shimazu Yoshihiro's subordinate, because he felt that he could have a better future, so he was assigned by the family and subordinated to his command to assist him, in fact, it was the family's control over him.
