"Shimazu-sama, the ronin who sent you the letter yesterday is here!" Just as Shimazu and Saburo and Asama Yoshitaka were discussing in the castle tower, Kasai Kiyoyasu walked in from outside the castle tower and said to Shimazu and Saburo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Let him in." Shimazu and Saburo sat up straight and said slowly.

"Hah!"

Not long after, Kasai Kiyoyasu took Gamo Hisaaki into the castle tower.

"Osumi Gamo family Kamo Hisashi has seen Shimazu-sama!" Gamo Kukiyo saluted Shimazu and Saburo, who were sitting on the main seat.

Shimazu and Saburo nodded and said, "Kamo Hisakiyo, Sandillo mentioned you in the letter. Speaking of which, we are all from a wealthy family in Kyushu, so we will be closer in the future. ”

"Pu Sheng Jiuqing, I don't know if you want to go out of your own family?" Shimazu and Saburo said suddenly.

Gamo Hisashi was stunned by this sudden "attack" by Shimazu and Saburo, but then said happily, "Of course I do!" ”

"I've often heard Shimadzu-sama mentioned Shimadzu by Lord Sardillo, and I'm deeply impressed by what I saw and heard on the way. It's great to be able to go out of the Shizugawa family! After speaking, Pu Sheng Jiuqing's eyes burst out with excitement.

"Good!" Shimazu and Saburo smiled and said, "You came at the right time!" Now that I'm about to add a new squadron to my musket team, Sandillo highly recommends you, I wonder if you'd like to use it? ”

"Haha!" Pu Sheng Jiuqing said excitedly.

Outside the castle tower of Minezawa Castle, there is an open space dedicated to archery, which was originally used by archers to practice archery. However, with the arrival of Shimazu and Saburo, it was converted into a shooting range for muskets.

Kasumo Jiuqing took a musket from Asama Yoshitaka's hand, feeling the coldness coming from his hand, but Pu Sheng Jiuqing's heart was unusually hot.

"Whew!" Kamo Jiuqing exhaled slowly, then turned the musket upside down, loaded and filled the medicine in one go, and the skillful movements of Shimazu and Saburo on the side nodded for a while.

"Smack!" There was a distinctive sound of muskets, and a target thirty paces away was suddenly pierced by a shot of lead that burst out of the barrel of the musket.

"Good!" Shimazu and Saburo said excitedly, "Yes, what Sardillo said in his letter is indeed true!" Originally, Shimazu and Saburo were skeptical about what Sardillo said in his heart about how superb Gamu's musket skills were. After all, the letter also said that Pu Sheng Jiuqing had never touched a musket before, and what kind of training could he be able to train in just one or two months.

However, just now, Gamo Hisakiyo's performance was affirmed by Shimazu and Saburo.

"Now that a new musket squadron is about to be added, why don't you appoint you as the head of the squadron? The annual salary is 50 koku! After Shimazu finished talking to Saburo, a smile appeared on his face.

"Is that true?" Kamo Hisashi didn't expect that he would be directly promoted to the position of Ashigaru, commanding a squadron of Ashigaru. Although he had been prepared for the phenomenon of the Tsugawa family's "meritocracy", Gamo Hisashi was still stunned by Shimazu and Saburo's words.

Actually, Shimazu and Saburo have no choice. Although the Tsugawa family's musket ashigaru has undergone a long period of training and has actual combat experience, the overall strength of the ashigaru is not strong, and many ashigaru are just barely able to shoot. Due to the limited ammunition, the Tsugawa family's musket team rarely trained with live ammunition, so in terms of the performance of Gamo Hisakiyo just now, it has surpassed most of the muskets.

"Of course it's true!" Shimazu and Saburo said affirmatively, "Congratulations, from today onwards, you will be the samurai of our family!" I'll tell my lord about it later, for a talent like you, my lord values it more than me. Ha ha! After saying that, Shimazu and Saburo couldn't help but laugh.

"Thank you, Shimazu-sama! In the next decision, he should die for the Tsugawa family! Pu Sheng Jiuqing hurriedly said loudly.

"However, now the third squadron under your command does not have a single ashigaru besides you, so ....... Your next priority is to recruit 50 men for a squadron. Shimazu and Saburo continued, "You can go down and talk to Kasai-sama about this matter, and select some ashigaru around Minezawa Castle." As soon as possible, the 3rd Squadron will be able to understand the musket. ”

"Haha!"

...............

On May 28, the 14th year of astronomy, the spring plowing in various places has ended.

At the same time, the Michinoku famous family and the Takasui Temple Spo family finally began to show chaos.

The pig went to the palace, and the pig went to Quanyi to ride on the war horse, and said loudly to the hundreds of pigs in front of him and the Shizukuishi family, "Everyone! Today, we are sending troops to kill Spo Quanzhen, a villain who kills his father! ”

"Now, take up the weapons in your hands, follow my pig to interpret the meaning, and use our hands to save our family!"

"Wow!"

On May 29th, Pig went to the Imperial Palace, and Shizukuishi Kansada, who went to the Shizukuishi Imperial Palace, jointly sent 600 troops and captured Morioka Castle, an important castle of the Spo family, with lightning speed. The lord of Morioka Castle, the Okama Shishi, had communicated with Pig in advance, so Pig went to Tsunoyi and the others to capture Morioka Castle effortlessly.

When the news of the fall of Morioka Castle reached Takamizuji Castle, Spo was still working hard in the side chamber of Shinna.

"Lord, something is wrong!" Just as Spo Quanzhen was fighting hard and climaxing, an impatient voice sounded outside!

Spo Quanzhen was really clever, his body shook, and he released all the tadpoles in his body to find his mother.

"Something's wrong! Is the sky falling? Disturbed, Spoo really yelled at the outside angrily.

"My lord, Inogo Kanyoshi and Shizukuishi Kansada sent troops from Pig to the Imperial Palace this morning, and just now, the Shimoda Pavilion of Shimoda Kankan-sama sent a message that the lord of Matsuoka Castle, the Ogama clan, has taken refuge in Pig to Kanyi, and Morioka Castle has fallen. At present, the enemy army is attacking Ishimizu Castle and Abe Castle in two ways, and the lord is asked to make a decision quickly! Outside the door, Shirai Kiyomoto knelt on the ground and shouted anxiously into the house. As for what Spo Quanzhen was doing, Shirai Kiyomoto could guess with his ass.

Since Spo Quanzhen succeeded to the throne, he has basically been messing with women again, and he has already accepted 5 side rooms in just two months.

"What!" Even Spo's nerves are really big, and he knows what this news means.

"No way!" Si Bo Quanzhen thought in a panic, "I must defend Gaoshui Temple City, otherwise the position of family governor will be taken away by my uncle, and then my good days will come to an end!" ”

"Quick! Sent a message to the Tsugawa family, didn't Tsugawa-sama say that he would send troops to support the family? Spo Quanzhen rushed out of the room and said eagerly to Shirai Kiyomoto. At this time, there was only one thought in my mind, and that was to let the Tsugawa family help him repel the pig to interpret the meaning.

Shirai Kiyomoto said with a sad face, "My lord, the Tsugawa family is not close to the main family. It took at least two days to send the envoys, and with the mobilization of the Tsugawa family, it would be at least a month before they arrived. ”

"Far water can't save the near fire, it's imperative that the lord should command his retainers to mobilize Ashigaru to meet and rescue Ishishimizu Castle and Abe Castle. In addition, send someone to send a message to the subordinate wealthy clans, and ask them to lead an army to help their family defeat the pig to Quanyi and Shizukuishi Quanzhen! Shirai Kiyomoto continued.

However, when he heard that Shirai Kiyomoto was going to send his troops to meet him, Spo really hesitated.

After a long time, Spo Quanzhen trembled and said, "White.. Kiyomoto Shirai, you speed.. Quickly send the order, let the retainers come with troops... Coming to Takamizuji Castle, I... Let's cage the city! ”
