Soak in clean water three times, bathe in blood water three times, boil in alkaline water three times, and we will be so pure that we can't be more pure.

- Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy (one of the most outstanding writers in the history of world literature)

Half a year later, under the personal planning of Mori Motosashi, his third son, Kobayakawa Takakei, led Injima Murakami, Kurushima Murakami, Kobayakawa, Kodama, and the surrendered Yashiro Island Shirai and other naval armies to jointly encircle and suppress Murakami Bukitshi's main castle Nonoshima Castle!

Originally, it was easy for Kobayakawa Takakei to destroy Murakami Takeshi, who had entered the city of sorrow, but Kobayakawa Takakei gave up a frontal attack because he regretted Murakami Takeshi's martial bravery, and instead risked going to the island alone to enter the city to persuade him to surrender; Murakami Takeshi was an iron-clad man on the sea, and he was greatly moved by Kobayakawa Takakei's courageous spirit, so he accepted Kobayakawa Takakei's persuasion to return to the Maori family, and has been loyal ever since.

By this time, Oda Nobunaga, who had dominated Kinai, had led an army to besiege the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the main temple of the Settsu Ichijo sect, for several years, and in desperation, the Honganji Temple, which was on the verge of running out of ammunition, sought a large amount of military supplies from their allies, the Mori family.

As a result, Mori Moto ordered Murakami Takeyoshi to be transported by sea to Honganji, and the Noshima Murakami family was already an extremely enthusiastic disciple, and Murakami Takeyoshi did not dare to slack off, and soon organized a fleet of 800 ships of various types to set off.

During the transportation, the Murakami Navy and the Oda Family's Nine Ghost Naval Army and the Ataka Naval Army encountered at the Kizu Kawaguchi, and the Murakami Naval Army relied on its own skilled steering skills to defeat the Oda Naval Army, and since then Murakami Takeyoshi has become a headache for the Oda family to attack Honganji.

In order to effectively counter Murakami's naval forces, Oda Nobunaga adopted a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, to divide the Kurishima Murakami family and the Noshima Murakami family, and on the other hand, to concentrate the blacksmiths of Omi Kunitomo Village and the boatwrights of Kumano of Ise Province, led by Yoshitaka Kukiki and Kazuki Takikawa to develop new weapons ironclad ships.

In the sixth year of Tensho, Murakami Takeyoshi led the naval army to transport military supplies into Honganji Temple as before, but in Kizukawaguchi, Murakami Takeyoshi's naval army once again encountered the Kumano naval army of the Oda family;

Not long after, under the persuasion of Oda Family General Hashiba Hideyoshi, the current governor of the Murakami family of the Kurishima family, Murakami Miri, turned against the Mori family and switched to the Oda family, which caused the Mori family to panic, and the Mori family reaffirmed the alliance with the Innoshima and Noshima Murakami families after jointly sending troops to denounce the Kurushima Murakami family, and launched a general attack on the Kurushima Murakami family's main castle in June.

Under the fierce attack of Murakami Takeyoshi, Kurushima Castle fell, and Murakami Tsuji hurriedly fled to Kyoto to throw himself into Hashiba Hideyoshi, and then Hashiba Hideyoshi asked him to change his surname to his residence and changed his name to Kurishima Tsuji, and Kurushima Castle, which fell into the hands of the Maori family, was given Murakami Takeyoshi as a territory.

Just as the pirate daimyo Kuki Yoshitaka became the chief general of the Oda family's navy, Murakami Takeyoshi, who had repeatedly made military exploits, also became the chief commander of the Mori family's navy after he obtained Kurishima Castle;

In the era of Tsuyasu Murakami, the father of Kurishima Tsuki, because Kono Tsunao had no children, he intended to accept his son-in-law Murakami Tsuyasu as an adopted son to inherit his family, but he was strongly opposed by all the important ministers of the Kono family, because most of the retainers of the Kono family were inclined to be the heir of the family by Kono Tsutsumasa, the son of Kono Tsutsu, the contemporary governor of the Yoshu family, and the two sides were almost at war for this.

In the end, it was the governor of the Bungo Otomo family who intervened, and Kono Mitsumasa retreated to seclusion, and Kono Mitsumasa succeeded him as the family governor, but Kono Mitsumasa died soon after, so he was succeeded by his younger brother Kono Mitsunobu, and later Kono Mitsunobu married the widow of Kono Mitsuyoshi, the lord of Iyo Takasen Castle, and then took his son Ushifukumaru as his heir.

Because Kono Tsuyoshi fought many times for the harmony of the Kono family's clan and the Yushu family during his lifetime, and at the same time was good at internal affairs and had a high prestige among the people, the sovereignty of the Kono family was finally confirmed.

In any case, the outcome of this dispute was not beneficial to Murakami, and the sovereignty of the family passed from the main family to the branch family, and then from the division to the division of the family, that is, as a direct blood relative of Kono Tongyasu, he had no share at all; although this resentment did not really break out in the Murakami Toyasu generation, it was passed on to his son, Murakami Tori, and the relationship between the two monarchs and ministers deteriorated.

After the death of Murakami Tsuyasu, among the sons he left behind, the eldest son Murakami Mitsu changed to inherit the Deju clan, the second son Murakami Yoshiyoshi was out, and the third son Youemon died early, so the fourth son Murakami Mitsuri, who was only seven years old, inherited the position of family governor, assisted by the eldest son and family retainer Murakami Yoshitsu.

Later, the Mori family and the Otomo family fought an offensive and defensive battle in Chikuzen, and based on the alliance between the Kono family and the Mori family, as well as the good relationship with the Mori family since his father Murakami Miyasu, Murakami led the Murakami Navy to join the Mori family's side.

However, at the same time, Murakami Takeshi, the lord of the Noshima Naval Army, accepted the persuasion of Otomo Sorin, ignored the order issued by the Maori family, and drove the naval army to Zhoufang Shangguan on his own, causing the Urashima Murakami Naval Army to fall into the difficult dilemma of fighting the Otomo Naval Army alone, causing great losses to the Urashima Naval Army, and then the Shimamurakami family and the Noshima Murakami family completely turned against each other.

In the subsequent battle of Kizu Kawaguchi, because most of the Murakami families on the island believed in the Soto sect, Murakami was not active in the rescue of the Ichōmune, and only his family's important retainer Murakami Yoshitsuji went to fight; the Maori family made Murakami Takeyoshi the chief general, and led the Mishima Murakami Navy to set off with a fleet of 800 warships of various types, and defeated the Oda Navy at the Kizu Kawaguchi.

During the Second Battle of Kizu Kawaguchi, the Mishima Murakami Navy defeated the Oda family's Nine Ghost Navy's ironclad ships at Kizu Kawaguchi, causing the Mori family to lose their previous advantage in fighting on the water.

At this point, Mr. Murakami's long-standing dissatisfaction with the Kono family since his father's generation finally broke out; Mr. Murakami had a latent desire for the position of governor of the Kono family, and had the greatest unwillingness and ambition for the interests that he had the opportunity but no longer could have started, and he had considerable resentment that his father could have had the opportunity to inherit as the governor of the Kono family.

Especially at that time, Mr. Tong was still young, so it was easier to have the stereotype of self-judgment black and white because of his immature view of things, and he hid his resentment towards the Kono family in his heart, and even had the willingness to take the position of governor of the family for his father!

Murakami Mitsu joined forces with Fugami Bunzenmae Mamoru of Kazahaya County and Murakami Yoshitaka of the Murakami family to raise a counter-flag against the Kono family, contacted the Oda family through the messenger of Hashiba Hideyoshi, and attacked the Nakagawa family of Reisenyama Castle and the Masaoka family of Komon Castle.

As a result, Nigami Toyo Maemoru immediately led his army to attack Takasen Mountain Castle, but he was defeated again, and he could only be thrown into the island castle to rely on Murakami Miritsugi;

The rebellion did not last long before the situation was sharply reversed, and the Mori family, in order to prevent the two Murakami naval forces of Innoshima and Noshima from behaving in the same way as the Kurushima Murakami naval army, demanded that the two families renew their alliance, and then jointly sent troops to denounce the Kurushima Murakami family, and at the same time, the Nojima Murakami family mainly attacked Oshima Island in Kochi-gun, and Kana Island in Kazahaya County and fought with the Kurijima Murakami family.

Although Murakami and Nigami Shigetari once repelled the invading Maori army, after the Innoshima Murakami family and the Kono family also joined the battle, Murakami was defeated before Eriyama Castle due to the disparity in troops, and then in June of that year, Ryumon Castle and Lingsen Yama Castle fell one after another, and even the castle was not guaranteed to come to the island castle, and the desperate Murakami Tsutsu had to formally surrender to the Oda family through Hashiba Hideyoshi.
