Chapter 49: The Expedition to Kyushu (2)

"It's unbelievable!"

When Akizuki Bungen, Muneka Clan, Tachibana Kanzai, Takahashi Kanzai, Harada Ryoe, and Tsukushi Yuimon were led to the core of the Okura Castle camp by Yamanaka Shikasuke, everyone couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts, full of horror. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Date army, which had crossed the sea, stood like a forest of swords and guns, and there was an endless stream of war horses, and the position was arranged in an orderly manner with the camp of Ogura Castle as the core. Even if it is strong, with many soldiers and horses, the positions arranged are also orderly and densely packed, and anyone who sees it will know that there are no loopholes to say.

The front and rear armies are endless, all of them are standard equipment, and the eight-color flag is fluttering. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, this scene of slaughter gives people a deep coolness.

Qiu Yue Wen couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "There is such a grand occasion! ”

The Akizuki clan is a family of Yasu-gun in Chikuzen Province since the Kamakura Shogunate, and comes from the Harada-ryu of the Ōzo clan. It is said that the Dazang clan is the great-grandson of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, Liu Azhi, the son of Liu Duhe, his uncle Liu Guoding, Liu Taozi, Liu Heming, Liu Xinzi and other men and women, a total of more than 2,000 men and women. Both the Ōzō clan and the Sakagami clan are descendants of Liu Azhi, and the Ōzo Hirosumi is the ancestor of the Ōzō clan. The main stream of the Ōzo clan was the Harada clan, and later diverged into tributaries such as Akizuki, Takahashi, Tajiri, Egami, Mihara, Togami, and Koganemaru. Akizuki and Takahashi, as the tribes closest to the main stream, and the most powerful, are known as the "Three Noble Clans of the Great Collection" along with the Harada clan of the main stream. However, the Harada clan declined, and the Takahashi clan was extinct in the Takahashi long breed era, so it was succeeded by the 10,000 Tian relatives of the Otomo clan and renamed Takahashi Kanko. Therefore, today's Kyushu Takahashi clan is no longer a descendant of the Ōzo clan, but has been changed to the Takahashi stream of the Otomo clan.

Such a huge Junrong is really a powerful force.

In the Warring States Period, when strength was relied upon, no matter how big or small the territory was, the strength of the armament was still the foundation of the people themselves. Having a strong retainer group is the foundation for the rise and growth of a force, and once it loses its retainers as the foundation, no matter how glorious the history has been, it also announces the withdrawal of this force from the stage of history. For example, the Hosokawa clan, which was once known as the "semi-general", the Miyoshi clan of the "management leader", and the Ouchi clan of "Ouchisuke" all inevitably fell from prosperity to decline.

But it is not easy to form such a large group of retainers, in addition to the strong strength of the main family to be recognized by all the retainers, but also the unparalleled personality charm of the sovereign, as well as the energy and management methods of the leader beyond ordinary people.

If you are an ordinary person, you will sink because of exhaustion after completing the unification of the preparation and the middle school.

He kept going, attacking Niko Haruhisa in the north, attacking famous generals such as Mori Motosho, Tao Harumi, and Murakami Takeyoshi in the west, and expanding his territory in the east at Bizen and Harima. Then, under his extraordinary ability, he overturned these famous generals one by one, and achieved the great cause of unification of the Western Kingdom at the age of twenty-six. If he had not had the extraordinary physical strength and will, he would have been deluded by his own achievements, indulged in wine and wealth, and then reduced to the same prosperity and decline as his predecessors. However, Zhengheng is a tireless person. In one fell swoop, he crossed the water, broke the rocky mountains, seized the heights, and entered Kyoto, and then under his remote guidance, Kawachi, Yamato, Omi, Tanba, Wakasa, Kii, Iga, and Ise surrendered successively. Through negotiations, Saito Yoshiryu, the son of Mino guarding the "pit viper" Saito Michizo, made a move to support the country, and Owari Fukiko Oda Nobunaga sent his sister-in-law as a hostage to build Osaka Castle to stabilize people's hearts.

Zhengheng's extraordinary energy stems from the fact that he never treats hard work as hard work, and in his heart, there is never a word of hard work. He worked day and night, and with every step, he would feel inexplicable joy and relief. Far from being tiring, this kind of hard work sharpens one's will and inspires one's spirit.

Why did Zhengheng personally conquer Kyushu?

Is it just to deal with the Otomo family who is approaching the twilight, if it is just to deal with Otomo Yoshizhen, as long as Noyama Masatomo leads the Shikoku Army, plus half of the Date Naval Army, it is enough to turn the Otomo family upside down, and he has to go to Osaka Castle to express his surrender to the Date family.

You must know that the current strength of the political balance is countless times stronger than that of the "lord of the alliance" Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and there are a large number of semi-independent forces entrenched in the territory controlled by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, whether it is Mori Terumoto in the West Province or the Nagamune Ibu Motobu of Shikoku, the remnants of Oda in Yang or around, and the Tokai Daodao Kawa Ieyasu who has repeatedly challenged his authority, etc. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was more like the lord of the alliance than the Sengoku daimyo who had a firm grip on the territory. Of the so-called 200,000 troops of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, only 30% of them were controlled by the headquarters and their relatives, and the rest were all famous horses of the Warring States in various places. And ninety percent of the 200,000 troops of Zhengheng are the people of the headquarters of the Date family, and the two can be said to be worlds apart.

In this way, Zhengheng will not be used to personally conquer Kyushu, as long as he sends an important minister with a few generals like the conquest of the four countries, it is enough to pacify those who are not convinced.

Many people don't understand why Zhengheng will personally conquer Kyushu, only a small number of important ministers know that his mind is not in small Kyushu, but the Central Plains Tang Tu, which has been cut off from news for more than half a year, yes, the connection between the Central Plains Tang Tu and the Wa State has been severed for more than half a year. Zhengheng finally got the news that the Central Plains Ming Dynasty was stormy and divided, and no one could figure out the details, which was why he personally conquered Kyushu, and it was the reason why he wanted to end the battle of Kyushu as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when Akizuki Wengen, Muneka Shisada, Tachibana Kanzai, Takahashi Kanzai, Harada Ryei, and Tsukushi Weimen submitted their letters, Masahiro may not be willing to meet them, you must know that the consistent policy of the Date family is to destroy their family and seize their wealth and share their land.

The six forces of Akizuki Bungen, Muneka Clan, Tachibana Kanzai, Takahashi Kanzai, Harada Ryei, and Chikushi Weimon represent most of the Chikuzen national forces. Imitation of the usual practice, it is strange that these forces will not be destroyed and exterminated, and the former country will be included in the ability.

Now that Masahiro has agreed to meet with Akizuki Fumika, Munakata Shisada, Tachibana Kanzai, Takahashi Kanzai, Harada Ryei, and Tsukushi Yuimon, it is enough to show that he will receive special treatment in Kyushu, especially for other forces other than the Otomo family, which is good news for the onlookers in Kyushu.

Therefore, Masahiro himself left Osaka Castle and led an unprecedented army across the sea, showing his strength to the world along the way.

When Akizuki Bungen, Munakata Clan, Tachibana Kanzai, Takahashi Kanzai, Harada Ryei, and Tsukushi Yuemon were ushered into the meeting room, they were already respectful of the Masahiro who was sitting in the master's seat like a god.
