"My lord, to be honest, we don't have any ability to resist now, and in the end there are only two ways, surrender or die. Even when I entered Ogura Castle, I was ready to die for the Otomo family. Zhongtong Yin said with some despair.

The first time Tong Yin looked at Kuriyama Ri'an in the middle, this young samurai had already shown his extraordinary martial bravery, basically his own subordinates fell into his hands, just like chopping melons and vegetables, one by one, killing with pleasure.

And the middle Tongyin himself is indeed not a person who is good at martial arts, so now there are actually only two paths for him to choose, the first is to ask the other party to let him seppuku and retain his last bit of samurai dignity. The second is to take advantage of the fact that the other party seems to be interested in him, and directly surrender to the Kuroda family.

"What is your final choice?" Kuriyama Riyan asked unhurriedly, because the surrounding situation was completely under the control of the Kuroda family, no matter what choice Tongyin made in the middle, he would not be able to escape Kuriyama Riyan's control over him.

"Lord Li'an ...... Kuriyama Li'an," Tong Yin suddenly said to Li'an Kuriyama.

"Hey! What do you think about the adults in the middle? ”

"Do you hate this man-eating troubled world?" Zhong Tongyin asked with a somewhat painful expression.

"Do adults hate this chaotic world where people eat people, are they down, their ethics are impermanent, and they have no warmth at all?" Riyan Kuriyama asked rhetorically.

"Kuriyama-sama, I don't like this troubled world, although I am loyal to Saemon Governor (Otomo Sorin), but I am really tired of this troubled world, everyone stops......" At the end, the middle commander shouted loudly, and with his voice, all the soldiers under his command stopped the battle, and all took a step back and gathered together, vigilantly guarding against the Kuroda family's team.

"Stop it!" Kuriyama Riyan also ordered.

The soldiers of the Kuroda family also retreated to the surroundings of Kuriyama Riyasu, but they were much more relaxed than the soldiers on the Otomo family's side. After all, they will all be elite veterans who have seen big scenes, but they are not comparable to the miscellaneous soldiers that the Otomo family used to stay behind.

"Dare to let Lord Kuriyama know that although he is a timid person who has always been afraid of this terrifying purgatory on earth, he has always thought that he can see the day when this troubled world ends with everyone, so I hope that my lord can take care of it in the future."

"Lord Zhongyin, you are too polite to say this, as long as the adults can sincerely join my Kuroda family, and work together with my Kuroda family, for the sake of the world, for all the people in the world to fight, we are the closest partners, how can you care about such a statement? I think you have chosen a very correct path, and please rest assured that the Lord will let us see the day when the troubled times will end as soon as possible. ”

"I hope so!" In the middle, Tong Yin bowed to Lishan and said.

At this point, the battle of Okura Castle ended, and the Toyozen state-owned enterprise Saku-gun basically fell into the hands of the Kuroda family, and Kisui-gun, as the territory closest to the Kuroda family of the Otomo family, was also the location of Mojiko. For the Otomo family, this is not just a gain or loss of a territory, but in the confrontation with the Kuroda family, the Kuroda family has been given a free passage to and from Bunzen Province, which is a very dangerous thing.

Historically, after surrendering to the Kuroda family, he fought with the Kuroda family, and in the Sekigahara Battle that took place in the 5th year of Keicho (1600 AD), he was subordinate to the Kuroda Kanwei side, and together with the Kuroda family, he defeated his old master, Otomo Yoshitomi.

In this great war that affects the ownership of the whole world, the two sons of the middle Tongyin, Zhongyin and Zhongyou, have completed their first battle, and the two sons of the middle Tongyin are both brave and fierce generals, and their father is completely incompatible.

It stands to reason that for the first battle of young samurai, they generally choose relatively easy battles to increase the self-confidence of young people, and there are also junior high school boys who rush forward on horseback like the head of Chosō and Ibu.

The two young men of the Kuroda family, Nakatashiyin and Nakashitomo, not only completed their initial battle well in a battle of this scale, but also won the enemy's samurai respectively, and achieved great merit, and both brothers received the Jinhaori and Kosleeve personally delivered by Kuroda Kanbei as a reward for their merits, and of course land is indispensable.

After that, the Kuroda family was awarded 520,000 stone of land in Chikuzen Province for their exploits in the Battle of Sekigahara (the merits mentioned here are only the merits of Kuroda Nagamasa).

However, for the people of Bunzen Province, who were born and raised in the middle family, if they continue to follow the Kuroda family, it means that they must leave their hometown. In the end, the middle commander decided to continue to serve the Kuroda family, and left the previous fiefdom of the six counties of Bunzen Province with Kuroda Nagamasa, and went to Chikuzen Province to continue his loyalty.

Because of the merits of his family, he became the lord of Matsuo Castle in Chikuzen Province, and after the Tokugawa family issued a decree of one country and one city during the Yuan and Reign periods, Matsuo Castle in Chikuzen Province was ordered to abolish the castle, but the middle family was still an important subordinate of the Kuroda family, and the whole family tightly defended the border of the Kuroda family for the Kuroda family.

In the 9th year of Motowa (1623 AD), Nakato-koin received 2,500 koku of Chiyuki-chi from the Kuroda family, and his eldest son, Nakarokuro Uemon Tadashi, received 400 koku from the Kuroda family. At the same time, in order to reward the contribution of the middle Tongyin to the Kuroda family, Kuroda Nagamasa allowed the middle Tongyin to use Kuroda as his own seedling character as a reward, so in history, the middle Tongyin also has the title of Kuroda Tongyin, which is an extremely honorable thing for him.

After that, the middle of the Yin went into seclusion, and gave up the position of the governor of the middle family to his eldest son, Zhong Zhongyin, and at the same time, this decision was approved by the Kuroda family, and the middle family could continue to use Kuroda's Miao character as their own name.

Nakatoyin died in the second year of Kanei (1625 AD), and his second son, Nakatomo, separated from his family and established his own family, allowing the Nakaku family to spread out in Chikuzen Province.

Having said so much, the middle Tongyin and Kuriyama Li'an still have a lot to do with each other, and the eldest son of the middle Tongyin, the main room of the middle Zhongyin, is the daughter of Kuriyama Li'an, which means that he is Kuriyama Li'an's son-in-law. The middle Tongyin and the Kuroda family boss Kuriyama Riyan are married.
