On September 11, the Date Army, with Iga Kutaka as the vanguard, attacked Kishima County in Hizen Province, and had not yet delivered a letter of surrender to Date Castle, vowing to open the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The lord of Takeo Castle is called Goto Takaaki, who is nominally a vassal of the Arima clan, and he was able to become the governor of the Goto clan of Takeo Castle because of Arima Harumu, but he is not grateful to Arima Harumu at all.

You must know that Goto Takaaki, formerly known as Omura Matahachiro, was the only son of Junzen Omura, the former governor of the Omura family, and was raised to be the heir of the Omura family since he was a child.

Arima Harumi asked his second son to pass on to Junmae Omura as the heir and renamed Juntada Omura, and then succeeded Omura Matachiro to the lord of Takeo Castle, Junaki Goto, and became the latter's heir and renamed Takaaki Goto.

Goto Takaaki reluctantly left the three cities where he had lived for more than ten years, and came to Takeo Castle under the fence, who would have thought that just after a year, Junzen Omura, who was originally healthy, suddenly died of illness.

Goto Takaaki naturally knew the strangeness of Junzen Omura's death, but what could he do, he chose forbearance, and was respectful to the messenger sent by Arima Harumun, and finally became the lord of Takeo Castle with the support of the Arima clan.

Originally, Goto Takaaki should be grateful to Arima Harumun, but people will never give up, especially after Omura Juntada's sudden conversion to Cheshitan, he provided quite generous conditions, such as handing over the land and peasants within three miles of the port to the church, moving all Buddhists who did not want to be religious, and exempting merchants who traded in the area from taxes for ten years. Omura's belief in Kiritan aroused the discontent of the Buddhists in the territory and the conservative ministers in the family, and Goto saw hope of returning to Mijo.

Goto Takaaki heard about the battle on the Chikugo River, and his first thought was to surrender Kaicheng as soon as the Date army arrived, so as to ensure the safety of Takeo Castle and the Goto clan's territory.

Soon, Goto Takaaki saw the vanguard of the Date Army and asked in surprise, "Only two thousand five hundred?" "Who would have thought that the Date army would be so big, you must know that although Takeo Castle is not as big as Sefukuji Castle and Nakamura Castle, it is also the first castle in Kitejima County, and the mountain road is narrow, making it difficult to deploy a large army and attack with a large army.

The retainers who came to report nodded in affirmation: "Yes, there are only two thousand five hundred!" "Originally, when they heard that the Date army was coming, everyone was sincerely afraid, fearing that the city would be destroyed and people would die, but they didn't expect the enemy to be so big.

Goto Takaaki immediately hurriedly went up to the castle tower in person, and looked out of the city, and the number of Date troops arrayed outside the city was really only two or three thousand, which was not enough to shake the Takeo Castle with a thousand defenders.

Goto Takaaki looked at it in surprise and said in astonishment: "Could it be that the Date Army only has these horses, will there be ambushes in the back?" But he couldn't see any sign that the enemy had ambushes, not to mention that even if there were only two or three thousand people, he didn't dare to go out of the city to fight, and the battle of Chikugo River had already declared to the neighbors that the Date army was strong in the field, and it was better to hold on to it to be able to block the attack of the Date army.

Originally, Goto Takaaki thought that he would surrender as soon as the Date army arrived, but when he saw that the Date army sent only two or three thousand people, he did not surrender at the first time. Of course, Goto Takaaki did not plan to be martyred for the Arima clan, but he wanted to sell himself for a good price, and the more he could resist for a while, the higher the price he could sell.

But his fantasies came to naught after a short cup of tea.

Standing on the hill outside Takeo Castle, Iga Kutaka had no joy or sorrow on his face, and he was able to win the competition with Yoshida Masanari for the position of pioneer, so he naturally wanted to get off to a good start and win.

After a while, his retainer led a young man to him, and Iga Kutaka glanced at the young man with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and asked, "You are Goto Kaneaki, the eldest son of Goto Junmei." ”

Yes, Goto Takaaki thinks that he has unfortunately become a victim of politics, from the powerful Omura clan to the weak Goto clan, and he is unaware of the feelings of Goto Junmei's parent.

Goto Kaneaki is the eldest son of Goto Junmei, but under the suppression of Goto Harumi, Goto Kanemi had to send Goto Kanemaki to the countryside and became a small village head.

Goto Kaneaki managed to survive from Goto Takaaki's sword and axe, and if he wanted to regain his inheritance, he would have to endure and wait for the opportunity to kill with one blow, and when the news of the arrival of the Date army in Kiteshima-gun came, he knew that his chance had come. In the end, even if he didn't want to return to Takeo Castle, he would be able to obtain a large piece of land, which was much better than digging the soil to eat now.

Goto Takaaki can still keep making trouble for Omura Juntada, but Goto Kaneaki has to leave Takeo City and go to the countryside to become the head of a village, and if there is no special opportunity, he will dig soil for the rest of his life to eat.

Goto Kanaki responded, "Yes, my lord! Saying that, he mentioned his relationship with Junaki Goto and Juntada Omura, indicating that he was the most innocent person in this dirty politics.

Iga Kutaka raised his eyebrows and asked, "You should know the weakness of Takeo Castle?" ”

The status of Kitejima Prefecture in Hizen Province can be imagined, it can be said that it is the center of East and West Hizen Province, and Takeo Castle is located in the center of Kiteshima Prefecture, and for the Arima clan it is a bridgehead to attack Hizen.

Originally, Goto Takaaki still wanted to resist for a while and get better conditions for defection, and it was best to get the support of the Date family to regain the Omura family's family business, but unfortunately he forgot that his cheap adoptive father, Goto Junmei, also had a son.

When Iga Kutaka was guided by Kaneaki Goto, Goto Kanaki knew the strengths and weaknesses of Takeo Castle well. As a result, every vital point was besieged by the enemy.

In the middle of the night, a corner of the city was breached.

As soon as Goto Takaaki wanted to surrender, he was stabbed to death by Goto Kaneaki, who rushed in, and the retainers of the Goto family in Takeo Castle saw that Goto Takaaki was killed, and Goto Kaneaki returned, and surrendered one after another.

Takeo Castle was destroyed in the First Battle.

When the bad news reached Enoguchi Castle, Arima Qingjun and Arima Yoshinao shook hands again in the face of the crisis, and the two sides had to be in the right place at the right time. Arima Qingchun watched his biological son Arima Yizhi walk in, with a burst of anger in his eyes, you must know that he is eighty years old, and he doesn't know how many days he has to live, and he never thought that the eldest son Arima Yoshinao, who he has been cultivating, was unwilling to fail and put him under house arrest.

However, at the moment of the great enemy, the scene of the Ma clan fighting and killing should not have appeared here.
