Chapter 207: Untitled (Part II)
Namba Denbei looked at the fire on the mountain with a blank face, and instead of cheering like the others, he was shocked and had an inexplicable helplessness, he didn't expect the power of the cannon to be so powerful, and at the same time a little lucky. The www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun of the Pavilion are glad that the cannonballs ignited the fierce fire oil stored in the White Ground Castle, which had been poured down during their ignorant siege, and they did not know how many warriors would have to die and how many sacrifices would have to be able to break through the White Ground Castle and finally achieve a crushing victory.
Namba Bunbei exclaimed: "It's such a big fire, I don't know how much oil is hidden, this fire is burning fast and fiercely, and Hakuchi Castle is about to end." "The White Earth City immediately fell into chaos, surging up like a torch, soaring into the sky.
A subordinate reminded Namba Denbei whether to save Hakuchi Castle and put out the fire, otherwise the castle would be completely destroyed, and even if the fire was extinguished, it would cost a lot of manpower and material resources to build it again, and the fire was sweeping through the castle mountain by the wind. If it is not saved, not only will Shirachi Castle be reduced to ruins, but even the village town located under Shirachi Castle will probably suffer. There are still some residents living in the village, and the young people still have the opportunity to flee for their lives, but the old, weak, sick and disabled cannot escape and are buried in the fire.
Namba Denbei glanced at him and said lightly: "White Land Castle is gone, and there is Daxi Castle, we are not a local wealthy family, we are a member of the Four Nations Legion, we should stand at a higher angle and a wider angle, don't stick to the gains and losses of one city and one place." "Of course, with the wisdom of Namba Denbei, he can't say such thought-provoking words, he heard it from Shimizu Soji, as for Shimizu Soji, he once stayed by Masahiro's side for a while, and wrote down a lot of thought-provoking words.
That subordinate was also loyal to his duties, and in the face of Namba Denbei's understated words, he still had the courage to continue to remind: "My lord, although the fire in Hakuji Castle does not affect the role of the transfer station, I am afraid that it will not be possible to retaliate against Tosa in a few days, is this too cheap Changzong and my family." ”
Namba Denbei laughed, glanced in the direction of Tosa Province, and said to the people who came over: "In the near future, I'm afraid there won't be any more chiefs in this Tosa country?" ”
The fire of White Land Castle was great, and Yoshida Sadashige ordered his younger brother Zhou Zhong to place everyone in a small canyon first, and then led the two of them to slowly move in the direction of White Land City with a white flag without any pattern, and the further they went, the more desperate they became.
Yoshida Sadashige looked at the fire of Shirachi Castle blankly, staring intently at the castle mountain that had been covered by flames, at the fire that was engulfing the houses under the castle, and at the innocent people crying, but there was no expression on his face, dazed.
The people of Date soon spotted them, three strange people with white flags, they said what they meant, and a few soldiers looked left and right, tied up all three of them, and took them back.
Sada Yoshida was brought to Namba Denbei in despair, a young man with ideals and ambitions. If the head of Chozong and my department were not strangled in the cradle, he would be the genealogy of the head of the head of the long sect and the rise of the head of the long sect, but in the end he would also fall with the decline of the head of the long sect and my department, and eventually he would be recruited by Hoshina Masamitsu with 250 stone to become a retainer, and his descendants would all become the lower level samurai of the Aizu Matsudaira family.
Ogasawara Nagamasa was surprised: "Isn't this Jiro Yoshida Saemon?" ”
Namba Denbei asked, "You know?!" ”
Ogasawara Nagamasa bowed slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "His name is Yoshida Sadashige, commonly known as Jiro Saemon, and his father Yoshida Takayoshi is the head of the family of the Nagamune Ibu clan, oh, he is still the brother-in-law of the previous head of the family, Nagamune Ibu Kunijin, although he is twelve years older than Kuniko." ”
Namba Denbei looked at him with a little doubt, knowing that Ogasawara Nagamasa was a wealthy family in Awa Province, and it was too incredible to be so familiar with the wealthy families in Tosa, and his expression showed that there was something else hidden in it, so he didn't ask.
Ogasawara Nagamasa explained: "My father once proposed a marriage to Chomune and my country, and I wanted to help each other and jointly deal with the expansion of the Onishi clan. ”
Namba Denbei glanced at Ogasawara Nagamasa, then at Yoshida Sadashige, and then asked, "You just said that Yoshida Takayori is twelve years older than Kuniko, so what is her age?" "You must know that Ogasawara Nagamasa is only about forty years old.
Ogasawara Nagamasa replied: "Claiming to be the widow of the Chozong and my department, but in fact it is not, but his younger brother Dao Xiao, the country relatives on behalf of his father to take in her sister, she married into the Yoshida family at the age of thirteen, when Yoshida Takayori was forty years old, and died of blood collapse after giving birth to her second child at the age of seventeen. ”
Yoshida Sadashige looked at Ogasawara Nagamasa with round eyes, he didn't know any of these things, but he couldn't refute it, it was indeed the same as his parents in terms of age, but the despair in his heart made him emotionally disturbed, and he didn't want to defend himself at all.
Namba Denbei didn't expect Ogasawara Nagamasa to have such a past, but these things had nothing to do with him, he looked at Yoshida Sadashige, and then said, "You are here to surrender, first tell me about Okatoyo Castle." ”
Yoshida Sadadage told everything he knew 1510, but it was not unexpected by Namba Denbei, but to Namba's surprise, Yoshida Sadadashige didn't come alone, he also brought hundreds of people.
Namba Denbei thought for a moment, then pointed to the subordinate who had just raised his opinion and said, "You take two teams of 100 people, take them all to Tokushima and hand them over to the upper echelons, they will deal with it, and ask us what to do next?" ”
It seems that Hakuchi Castle is over, and Okatotoyo Castle is also over, and more than 3,000 people have nothing to do in Daxi Castle, where birds don't, so naturally they have to ask what to do next, whether to cross the Yoshino River and enter Tosa Province, or go to Iyo Province for the next step.
Is White Land really over? In the grain storage cave of White Land City, this is a natural cave, and some stairs have been carved to lead to the outside. Now the cave is pitch black, and although you can clearly hear the breathing of others, you can't see anyone else's presence at all.
Suddenly, a burning wooden stick that fell from the outside fell, and it lit up the space of the cave ** in an instant, and I saw more than 30 people sitting on the ground with a blank expression, their faces full of panic and despair. (To be continued.) )
