On September 19, the third year of Tensho, Katayama Hironaga's war against Arima Harujun has actually come to an end, but his journey has just begun. Arima Harujun is his first stop, and his ultimate target is Matsuura Takanobu, who has been reluctant to follow. .
Masahiro and Katayama Hironaga still don¡¯t know that Matsuura Takanobu is going to give them a gift that is either joyful or sad. Katayama Hironaga is still trying to settle the past one by one for the set goals. Masahiro is in Kokura Castle as if he is on a mountain tour. Shui's mood showed no intention of changing at all.
Since Zhengheng was convinced that he could win the final victory, he took a relaxed attitude from the beginning and sent his retainers to attack everywhere, all of which achieved good results.
Katayama Hironaga defeated Hinoe Castle and forced the death of Arima Haruchun and his son. Kiyokawa Hirohide, Matsushima Hiranobu, and Iwase Hirokatsu defeated Kyushu Raijinbejimichi Yuki, and four regiments led by Noyama Masuto besieged Fuuchi Castle. The city can be broken in a day.
After Noyama Masuto learned the news that Hinoe Castle had been destroyed, he stepped up his psychological offensive against Fuuchi Castle. Originally, Otomo Yoshizhen was by no means an ordinary person. Unfortunately, Otomo Yoshizhen died of illness, which caused turmoil in Fuuchi Castle.
The injuries and deaths in Otomo Uizhen caused unrest in the city and caused the Otomo family to lose the best opportunity for negotiation. If they had a little understanding of the general trend of the world, they wouldn't be forced to this point. Therefore, they cannot be compared with Ouchi Yoshinaga. Ouchi Yoshinaga is nominally affiliated with the Date family. Although Masahiro has stationed all the main troops in Ouchi Yoshinaga's territory, Masahiro will not occupy it for a long time. He will leave when Kyushu is pacified. At most Kokura Castle will be taken out of Bunzen Province as a heavenly leader.
At the beginning, Masahira's condition for the Otomo family was that they could retain the territories of Bungo and Chikugo. But now it is very likely that even Bungo Kingdom cannot be preserved, and it may be necessary to stay away from its hometown.
Of course, there are also people in Fu Nei City who strongly oppose surrender. They want to block Fu Nei City and live and die with this place. But the elders of the Dayou family are not stupid enough to do such stupid things.
Naido Kanki, who advocated surrender, persuaded Yoshioka Chomaso and Yoshihiro Kanri, one of the three elders of Bungo, and told them: "Now we have reached the end of our rope. The lord of the country has died of illness, morale is low, and the lord is suspicious of the country. In addition, The entire mobile force led by Kii Mamoru was wiped out, and Kii Mamoru's whereabouts are unknown. If he blocks the city and fights to the death, he may not be able to defend it. Once he fails, there will be several rounds of Nanliu. If the war is avoided, even if Bungo cannot be guaranteed, the young master can still survive. Go down. I think we should avoid this disaster first."
Yoshioka Nagazo and Yoshihiro Kenri heard Naido Kanki¡¯s suggestion and were silent for a long time before agreeing to it. It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t know that Dayou¡¯s family has reached the end of their rope.
When Yoshioka Nagazo and Yoshihiro Kenri were persuaded, the Otomo retainers who were guarding the Fuuchi Castle wept and agreed, and sent envoys to the Date army besieging the city to discuss the surrender of Kaicheng.
When Noyama Yiluo passed the news of the city's hope to surrender to Kakura, Zheng Heng was dealing with government affairs. He read the text in his hand. This was a playbook just sent by a boat.
Zhengheng stretched his body and saw Kuroda Kanbei waiting respectfully with a letter of greeting. He paused for a moment and asked, "Who sent it again?" Since arriving in Kyushu, Zhengheng has been Every day, I will take some time to meet heroes and celebrities from all over Kyushu.
Kuroda Kanbei replied respectfully: "My lord, you are the envoy from Kagoshima."
Masahira was stunned, and suddenly remembered the allusion to Kagoshima, and said calmly: "Has the Shimazu family finally arrived? It's too late, who is it?"
Kuroda Kanbei bowed neatly again, handed over the greeting card, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to my lord, the person who came here claims to be Ijuin Taday¨, the envoy of the Shimazu family in Kagoshima, and he has more than ten people accompanying him."
Zhengheng's face darkened, he took the greeting card sent by the attendant, then threw it on the table, snorted coldly: "As expected of the stubborn Shimazu family, they only sent one retainer here."
Kuroda Kanbei knew the details. Masahira sent two edicts to Kagoshima in succession. There was no reply for more than half a month. So far, he has only sent one retainer. This is showing Masahiro's face.
Kuroda Kanbei asked in a low voice: "My lord, how should I reply?"
Masahiro snorted coldly and said: "Since the people from Kagoshima are so generous, let him come to visit you. I want to see what kind of conditions the people from Kagoshima will offer?"
After Kuroda Kanbei left, Masahira pulled out an introduction to the Shimazu family from the desk.
The ancestors of the Shimazu clan are the descendants of the Qin clan, the Weizune clan, who claim to be descendants of the First Emperor of Qin. They are the same clan as the Nagasogabe clan of Tosa and the Hatano clan of Tamba. The lord of the son of the son of Kei Mune, Hiroto Kei, was the Shokan of the Fujiwara Sekki family and the Konoe family of Hyuga Kunishima Tsuso. He went to Kyushu, and his son Tadahisa was the head of the locality during the period of Minamoto Yoritomo.It was originally called the Shimadzu family, and this was the origin of the Hyuga Shimazu family.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Isaku Shimazu family gradually became stronger and overpowered other families. The governor of the Isaku Shimazu family, Shimazu Tadayo, bullied the orphans and widowers of the clan family, conquered the master family, and the eldest son Shimazu Takahisa became the adopted son of the clan clan Shimazu Katsuhisa. Became the governor of the Shimazu family. As for Shimazu Katsuhisa, he soon died of illness at a young age. On the same day, his mother, wife, infant, and more than ten people including his daughter also died of illness. Anyway, their deaths were strange.
The rebellious behavior of Shimazu Tadayoshi and Takahisa naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the Shimazu family members in Sashu and Toyoshu. The two sides fought against each other for more than ten years, and finally unified Satsuma in the 19th year of Astronomy.
When Shimazu and his son unified Satsuma, Kinai Miyoshi Nagakei was at his peak, Hojo Ujiyasu expelled Uesugi Kensei and dominated Kanto, Uesugi Kenshin was recognized by Ashikaga Yoshiteru and became the guardian of Echigo, Moton killed Yoshikawa Kosuke and unified Aki. Date Masahiro in Bechu was still waiting hard in the mountains for the situation to change.
However, the father and son Shimazu Tadayoshi and Takahisa who unified Satsuma soon caused riots in the country due to the cruel policy of Hachiko and Two Farmers. The Sagara, Ito, and Kanfu Alliance came to kill, and almost destroyed the country.
The current Shimazu family has been farming in Minamisatsuma and cannot even control Northern Satsuma. The real rise of the Shimazu family began five years later when Takahisa lived in seclusion and succeeded Yoshihisa. In just a few years, he unified the three states and truly became a powerful daimyo.
However, time waits for no one. The Shimazu family living in Minamisatsuma did not know that the world was changing so fast. It only took more than ten years for Date Masahira to develop from the originally useless Date to the strongest man in the world.
Now that the Shimadzu family has hated Date Masahira, it is hard to say whether it will be glorious again.
