The new news has not yet come, but a big event happened in Kyushu. At the beginning of the year, there was civil strife in Bungo Otomo's family. Otomo Yoshikan, who was the guardian of Bungo, Higo, and Chikugo three countries, was killed by his eldest son Otomo Yizhen. It is well known that the Kyushu daimyo Otomo Yoshiken did not like his eldest son Otomo Yoshizumi. The governor also made many common mistakes in family strife. He excessively favored Shioichimaru, who was born by his side wife, and later married Irida, who was the fufu of Otomo Yoshizumi. Makoto conspired to depose the elder and establish a younger one, and then Irida Makoto took advantage of Otomo Yoshizhen to go to Hamawaki Hot Spring to recuperate, and killed Kosai Yamato Mori Jinnao and Saito Harima Mori Nagami of the Yoshizhen faction. After learning the bad news, the other two retainers of the nominal sect, Tsukumi Misakumori and Taguchi Zarito Sakanuchika, led their men into the unsuspecting Otomo Hall overnight and killed Shioichi Maru who was sleeping in the second floor of the Otomo Hall. He and his biological mother were hacked together, and Otomo Yoshikan who was sleeping in Tongma could not escape the bad luck. He was chopped on the spot by the rebellious officials. The scene was extremely tragic. Otomo Yoshikan, who was famous in Kyushu, died in the pain within a few days. and died on February 12th. Otomo Yoshiki's eldest son, Otomo Yoshiki, who hated him very much, raised troops from Beppu with lightning speed and killed two of the founders of the rebellion, his cronies Tsukumi Mimasakumo and Taguchi Soren Sakan. Immediately afterwards, he attacked his own servant, Irida Mashomai, who lived up to expectations and escaped from the battlefield, running to his father-in-law, Asu Yuiyo, to take refuge. This was later known as the Second Order Collapse. Because there are too many doubts in the Second Order Collapse, and because there are rumors within the Otomo family that Otomo Yoshin and Otomo planned this assassination plan, and immediately attacked and killed the unsuspecting Tsukumi Mimasaku and Taguchi Zohito after succeeding. Zuo, so Dayou's family is divided from top to bottom. Kikuchi Yoshitake, his uncle in Higo, took advantage of the Second Order Collapse to contact the powerful Kakogi clan and Tajima clan in Higo to regain the original Kikuchi territory and Kumamoto Castle, the home of the Kikuchi family, and launched a campaign in the next two months. In order to counterattack Higo, he successively attacked the Odai clan of Otomo with the Miike, Otsuyama, and Hiroshi families. At the same time, Nawa, Sagara, Aishi and other families also assisted Yoshitake in attacking Kiyama Mashiro Castle. In April of Tenmon's 19th year, in Chikugo, he suppressed Miike Chimori and Nishimuta Chikashi who responded to Kikuchi's unrest, and then invaded Higo Kikuchi's territory. Faced with Otomo's powerful military force, Higo, who was known as Kikuchi's three great ministers at this time, The Kumabe, Akahoshi, and Jo families of the Gokunin lords all turned to Otomo's side, and the situation was moving in the direction of Otomo's advantage. Although Otomo Gijin quickly swept away the opponents in the family and suppressed other voices in the family, he successfully changed the unfavorable situation of Higo country's separation from the Otomo family, but the adverse effects caused by this incident are still fermenting. As a result, the Otomo family's control over the retainers and people of the three kingdoms has also declined significantly. The battle in Gyeonggi Province in June has been decided. Kira Yoshitoki strictly ordered to intensify the reorganization and training while renovating the soldiers and armors. The first thing he did was to call the people nearby and distribute the hundred sets of armors captured by Hosokawa Harumoto. , plus a hundred horses and a set of swords and guns, the crowd on the side also jumped from the prepared horseback to the accurate horseback crowd. Of course, these "accurate" Ma Hui are only equipped with similar equipment, and are still far behind the real Ma Hui. Some young people are only seven or eight years old and cannot wear armor. There are more than sixty people who can put on this equipment and sit firmly on the horse. , those who can run back and forth on a horse will be reduced by half, and those who can actually go into battle will be reduced by another half. When convening the crowd, Takigawa Keijiro Tokimasu also ran back from Yamato Kokukofukuji Temple. After more than half a year of training, not only did he grow taller, but his strength more than doubled, and he carried A jumonji gun went directly to Saijo Bei to challenge Watanabe Takatsuna by name, but he was defeated only after insisting on five combinations. Watanabe Takatsuna said that he has the appearance of a tiger general and his future achievements are limitless. Of course, not everyone was happy. Gengoro Watanabe held up his small wooden gun and stopped Takigawa Tokimasu: "Don't leave! I, Gengoro Watanabe, want to challenge you! I want to prove to my father that I am a real tiger general!" " Takigawa Tokimasu smiled when he heard that Watanabe Gengoro was about to challenge him, and then looked at Honda Miya, who was also dragging a small wooden gun and standing there at a loss as if he was about to cry, so he shook his head and said, "Oh? Is it Gengoro Watanabe? I have heard Sanya say it many times! Since you want to challenge me, then I will comply with your request!" "I'm going to do it!" Watanabe Gengoro stabbed him with a wooden gun. , but he was too impatient and let go of the lower plate. Takikawa Tokiyoshi dodged and stretched out his legs, tripping him and falling into disgrace. Gengoro Watanabe, who refused to admit defeat, got up again and pounced. This time Takigawa Tokiyoshi raised the Jumonji Gun and struck out. Blocking, he grabbed the small wooden gun and put it on his neck with his backhand. "Damn it! I lost so easily! Am I really unable to become a tiger general?" Gengoro Watanabe's stubborn little face was full of humiliation and unwillingness. He closed his eyes with a heroic expression of being killed at the neck, and Takigawa was stunned. Shi Yi burst out laughing, "Hahaha what a funny guy!" "Damn it! Don't laugh! What's so funny! This is a very disgusting duel, damn guy! You are still laughing!" Watanabe Gengoro sternly rebuked Takigawa Tokiyoshi for his disrespectful behavior in the duel. Of course, this also made him laugh. He smiled more cheerfully. After a while, I couldn't stop laughing, so I threw the wooden gun to him and waved my hand and said: "Hahaha I'm not laughing! I'm not laughing! Remember what I said! You will definitely become a tiger general in the future! That¡¯s it, it¡¯s been a long time! You are Sanya¡¯s friend and I am Keijiro¡¯s friend! Let the misunderstanding between friends go! My name is Takigawa Keijiro Tokiyoshi!¡± ¡° But I understand! My name is Watanabe Gengoro! Please give me some advice!" Watanabe Gengoro hesitated and announced his name, and then saw Honda Mimi rushing to save them both, and shouted: "That's great. Keijiro is back! Keijiro is back! " "Bah!" Kira Yoshitoshi applauded their sincere friendship. Shima Sakon, who was following him, was already jealous when he saw the governor treating him. He nodded and hurriedly ran over to hug them. Xiaosanya laughed and cried sometimes. It looked like he was so happy. Hondaya Hachiro Tokimasa, who was standing on the other side of Kiragi Toki, kept twitching at the corner of his mouth, looking very ugly. smile. Kira Yoshi smiled like the warm and brilliant summer sun. Wen Yan said to him: "Yahachiro, you must learn to laugh from the heart. Smiling is the most harmless expression. The gentler your smile, the more harmless it will be." , as a person who aspires to be a military advisor, counselor, or internal affairs officer, smile is your biggest friend, anger is your biggest enemy, weakness and sadness should be hidden in your heart, only people with strong hearts can achieve great achievements, understand "Honda Toki was shocked when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment and then said quickly: "I understand!" "Laugh from the bottom of your heart!" It's not anger or jealousy, just smile." Kira Yoshitoki directed Honda Tokimasa to smile little by little, and finally after reaching a perfect smile of relief, he patted him on the shoulder and told him that he did a good job. Takigawa Tokimasu brought his three brothers over, and when he met with Kiragi, he asked: "Master! Keijiro is back! Is there going to be a war this time?" "Well, there is going to be a war. Don't worry, you will be indispensable. You have the opportunity to show up, so you have to perform well in the first battle!" Kira Yoshito said with a smile. Honda Miya asked: "Can we go into battle to kill the enemy?" "Ahem! This won't work. We can only serve as close guards around our family." "That's it! I thought we could go into battle to kill the enemy! Ichiban I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" Honda Sanya retracted with a flat mouth. "Sanya is too young to go into battle. In a few years, he will be able to go into battle when he grows up." Kira Yoshitoki told them the things to pay attention to before going into battle. In fact, they were all what he heard from Tokiyuki Yamamoto and then sold them to them in original form. After speaking to the four people with expressions of admiration, he sent them away with satisfaction. "Mr. Master! These two months have been too hasty. Shiga and Takashima are probably only better armed than ordinary people. It will be difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness if they go into battle." Honda Tokizuma put forward his plan at the right time. point of view, he learned the lesson from last time and tried to set his standards closer to reality to cater to Kira Yoshitoki's attitude. "Haha, it doesn't matter. These two reserve teams have no intention of training to become elite! They are neither Saijo Bei who has been trained for five years, nor Chi Bei who has been a samurai. What can they become in two months? Even if Saijo Bei goes into battle You can't use 100% of your combat power! Don't worry, I know it well." Ji Liangyoshi waved his hand and left slowly, leaving Honda standing there slightly disappointed. "No! I have to work harder!" Honda Toki was looking at Kira Yoshitoshi's retreating back in trance. He took a deep breath and said, "Smile, and smile hard!" Slowly, a smile spread all over Honda Toki. Positive face.
