It is said that Otomo Yoshizhen has been a smart and clever person since he was a child, both civil and military, but he is reckless and tyrannical. It may be reminiscent of Oda Nobunaga, but it can only be regarded as an inferior copycat version with reduced ability and magnified problems.

Thirty years ago, because of his personality, his father had a plan to abolish the elder and the younger, which triggered the famous "Second-Order Collapse Change", killing the entire Fenghou country, and only then did he complete the generation replacement in the sea of corpses and blood.

Later, as the master, under the gaze and persuasion of many retainers, Otomo Yoshijin finally reined in, carefully focused on military and political affairs, vigorously developed maritime business, and bought the duties of the guardian of several countries and Kyushu exploration from Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who was shy in his pocket, and used his reputation advantage to continuously expand his sphere of influence, and at his peak, the six kingdoms of Bungo, Bungo, Chikugo, Chikugo, and Hizen all bowed their knees and became vassals, building the largest territory in the history of the family.

Unexpectedly, the situation has reversed in recent years, and the rise of Shimazu and Ryuzoji Temple is too strong, and Otomo Yoshizhen is difficult to resist, so he asked for reinforcements from Hisho Tsuno, and then passed on to his son Yoshitomi, and ran to live in seclusion.

In this way, I lifted my burden and began to let myself go.

This release, something big happened.

Many years ago, the town of Otomo had been attracted by merchants and missionaries from the southern barbarians, and his inner beliefs gradually changed, and he had already been baptized and turned to Chechitan, but because of the opposition of his retainers, he did not dare to speak out. Now he finally stopped hiding it, put on a clear posture, and called himself by the religious name "Puranshi Si Huang", openly giving up the gods and Buddhas.

His eldest son, Yoshito, was not interested in religious issues, and was very puzzled and angry by his father's behavior.

However, the second son and the third son of Otomo Yoshijin supported the response, and at the same time accepted the baptism and became Chechi Dan, and also sent people to demolish a large number of Buddhist temples and shrines very radically. I don't know if these two children really converted their faith or if they had other intentions.

This was a source of great concern for the retainers, though not to the point of rebellion for the time being.

However, the "atrocities" do not stop there.

Just believing in the Zhidan Sect is enough. However, Otomo Yoshijin is a person of strong desires, and he is still not satisfied with the spiritual comfort of religion, and he has to seek the comfort of a beautiful woman physically.

It is said that a big name with status and status, go through legal procedures, and it is not a problem to marry dozens of side rooms.

It's just that this guy also has a unique taste, I don't like the yellow flower girl is young and ignorant, and I like the mature mood of the half-old. The wives of the family are tired of it, and they are reluctant to marry Xinna, and they are bent on hooking up with the elderly maid in the inner house, and there are scandals with the wives of the retainers.

The upright mother of the Otomo family is called Mrs. Nata, who is the daughter of the Omiya Division of Hachimangu in Kyushu, and is naturally extremely insistent on the belief in gods and Buddhas, and has always acted strongly and decisively, and was angry with her husband's behavior, and first shouted with a knife to kill all the old fox spirits, and was stopped and wanted to commit suicide, but it still failed. After calming down, he moved back to his parents' house and unilaterally announced his "divorce".

So things finally got big.

The retainers were a complete mess.

On the issue of faith, the Kishitan samurai insisted that "conversion is freedom, and there are not many sects in Fuso?" He still revered the gods and Buddhas and denounced them as "the evil demons from the Southern Barbarians, with ill intentions, how can they be compared with the different schools of gods and Buddhas."

In response to the scandal, some people think that "the boss made a small mistake that all men can't avoid, and overreacted to the woman's way that was not the wife of the martial family." ”； There are also those who feel that "if you don't respect Mrs. Masamuro, the position of the heir will also be shaken, and it is not a small mistake but an impact on the overall situation." ”

In short, they were so noisy that they almost took knives and cut each other.

Among them, there are loyal people who sternly advise Otomo Yoshizhen, but they are not heeded.

Then, a group of retainers with strong beliefs protested against the demolition of well-known religious sites such as Sumiyoshi Shrine and Manjuji Temple at the gate of the prefecture, pushing public opinion to the peak.

Otomo Yoshitomo nominally took over the position of family governor, but he is only in his early twenties, and he has no prestige, and the seat under his ass is not yet hot, where can he stop this kind of scene? Originally, it was good to attack Shimazu with the South Road Raiding Army, and they were heavily guarded against each other for more than half a month, but the news came from the rear, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they were worried about something happening to their hometown, urging them to withdraw to Fenggo, and if they were defeated without a fight.

On the other side, Shimazu Iehisa and Shinna Tadamoto are not ordinary people, so they found a good opportunity at the first time and decisively launched a surprise attack.

Changzong's relatives finally got out of the pain of losing their son, and they were ready to fight for fame again, but who knew that the friendly army was really unreliable, and they ran away without warning, and only sent someone to report before leaving.

The crusading army from Shikoku had to rush into battle with suspicion. Due to the difficulty of supporting alone, the quantity was slightly inferior, and the quality was a certain gap with the Shimazu army, and it suffered defeat.

Fortunately, the head of Changzong knew the strength of the enemy, and made two preparations early, arranged the back road, and let the 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals withdraw to Shikoku.

Although Shimazu Iehisa was brave and good at fighting, he could not rely on the power of the sea as much as a tie, and he could not jump down to swim in pursuit of the boat, and he could not cut off the waterway.

Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable.

At the same time, on the battlefield of Chikuzen Province in Kitakyushu, the veteran Tachibana Michiyuki received a secret letter knowing the specific details of the internal turmoil and the rout on the southern front, and even heard that the name of his relatives appeared in the peach scandal, and he was so angry that he vomited blood and dizzy, lost consciousness, and woke up several hours later. The wing he commanded collapsed in an instant, and Ryuzoji Takanobu picked up a pie-in-the-sky victory.

The two armies failed to make any contributions.

Hirate Honhide, who was far away in Kyoto, heard the news from the front, but he was not too surprised, let alone angry and surprised, but only felt a little funny.

I've heard of the belief that Chezhi Dan leads to civil strife, and I've also heard of lust that causes civil strife, which is both a belief in Chezhi Dan and at the same time lustful as life, and the combination is really weird painting style.

At the first time, Hirate Honshu ordered: Honda Masanobu went to Bungo as a representative, and cooperated with Tachibana Michiyuki, who had awakened and was basically unhindered, to stabilize the situation and prevent further turmoil. Otomo Yoshijin, including his sons and his eldest wife, summoned all of them to Kyoto as the people involved, and made a decision after questioning.

Both crusading armies temporarily halted their attacks and rested on their own, while Hirate Kiyin in the north and Noguchi Masatoshi in the south continued to stay in Toyozen Province and Iyo Province respectively, preparing to receive the follow-up large army. Asano Nagayoshi and Kinoshita Hidecho came back to report the situation and recount the battle.

The previous result doesn't matter for now.,Except for the Otomo family.,Even if other people have any sins, don't worry about it for the time being.,Let's have a good year first.。

After the New Year, increase the troops and fight again.
