Chapter Twenty-Six: Tominaga Mountain

Only one guy with relatively good luck escaped from the city as soon as the Nine Ghost Jialong attacked Yezeng City. and also escaped their slaughter, but after hiding on the island for a few days, he was still found and killed by the centaurs left behind by the Nine Ghosts Jialong.

The Kuki Yoshitaka captured Oshima, and the surrounding islands of large and small, such as Rishima, Niijima, Kozujima, Miyake Island, Mikurajima, and Hachijojima, were also successively captured by the Kuki Yoshitaka, the Kuki Naritaka, the Toyoda Gorou Uemon, the Koga Sama and others, and the Izu Islands fell into the hands of the Kuki Yoshitaka.

As we mentioned earlier, these islands are now places of exile, and none of the Hojo family's men and horses dared to carry out a complete massacre.

Before the nine ghosts were subjugated to the Kuroda family, they also studied the various basic policies of the Kuroda family, and they killed the people of the Hojo family, even if they were suspected of inviting merit, but they would never punish themselves in the face of the enemy Kuroda family.

However, in the face of the various prisoners exiled here by the Hojo family, the nine ghosts Yoshitaka basically did not act rashly, but left some more clever subordinates to conduct a thorough interrogation of these people on various islands.

As long as it was indeed a great evil person before, the Kuroda family would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, even if this kind of person is released later, it is estimated that it will only affect the security of the Kuroda family. As for other political prisoners and the like, or enemies captured by the Hojo family, the nine ghosts were not difficult for them.

Nine Ghost Jialong also has his own purpose for treating them well, as a pirate leader, how can he have such a good heart to let these people live in peace, among these prisoners he released, Nine Ghost Jialong's real purpose is to recruit some talents, to be able to use them for himself under his own hands, and in the end, he really recruited a group of so-called talents.

You must know that these prisoners have been on the island for a long time, and even the most people have stayed for at least three or five years, and some of the people who have stayed for a long time do not even know who the emperor of Shokincho is.

These people are very eager for the outside world, as long as they can come out of this place, as long as they can live a normal life in the future, they are already very happy, so now there is a chance to be recruited, and they can become samurai again, of course, all of them show their best side to the nine ghosts Jialong.

And the Nine Ghosts Jialong, as a pirate name, although he has a certain vision for recognizing people, but to be honest, his ability to recognize people is still relatively poor.

Don't say that compared with Kuroda Vocational High School and Kuroda Yoshitaka, even compared with Kuroda Toshinori of the Kuroda family, he is much worse, and in this case, the talent he thinks is not much higher than his ability to tell the truth.

But after all, many of them are wealthy families who were unwilling to submit to the Hojo family before, the head of the family or an important retainer, at least there can be a twenty or thirty ability value in the game, they are used by the Nine Ghost Jialong, and it can be regarded as a better place to work!

In the end, it turned out that there were no commendable characters among them, or that there was no one who had heard the name of Kuroda Vocational High School, how could such a small action of the Nine Ghosts Jialong be able to hide from the concentric people of the Kuroda family.

Within a few days, the Kuroda family put a list of all the people on the island in front of Kuroda's office.

Kuroda Vocational High School has been a traverser, and as long as he is a little famous, he probably has an impression. And when he looked at the list very carefully, many people just added a name such as Taro, Goro, and Saemon after the Miao character, and none of them were names that Kuroda Vocational High School had ever heard.

Since the Nine Ghosts Jialong thinks that these people are talents that can be used, then let him go, anyway, in the end, he will use his own money, and it will not have much to do with the Kuroda family.

This time, the Kuroda family let the Nine Ghost Yoshitaka's naval army, and the army of Hanafang Masayuki acted together, and its purpose was to let the Nine Oni Yoshitaka attack the Hojo family's naval army in Izu Country. The Hojo family had a powerful naval army in Izu, led by Tominaga Yamasu, the lord of Maruyama Castle.

Tominaga Yama Suino was a retainer of the Hojo family and the lord of Maruyama Castle. The Tominaga clan was a native of the Izu Tohi region, and the Tominaga clan was the first Izu clan and countryman to follow Hojo Sakumo, and was able to lead the Izu naval army.

Historically, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Odawara, Fuinaga Yamasui led a naval army to resist, but lost Maruyama Castle due to being outnumbered. Legend has it that he fled to nearby Matian, but was arrested and killed by his enemies, or that he survived until 1606 when he was shot by his retainers.

The reason why the Kuroda family let the Nine Demons Yoshitaka attack the Izu Naval Army led by Yamasui Tominaga was also to be able to consume the respective strength of these two naval armies.

And this fact is not clear to the Nine Ghost Garons himself, what he is thinking about now is to be able to defeat the Izu National Water Army and make a great contribution, so that the Kuroda family can be impressed by him, and he can also be reused by the Kuroda family. This is also the reason why he risked being punished by the Kuroda family before to recruit his subordinates privately.

But no matter what, when the team of the Nine Demons Yoshitaka captured the Izu Islands, Mt. Tominaga had already gotten the news from the side of the Nine Demons Kataka.

Just like the Nine Demons Yoshitaka was a wealthy clan in Shima Province before, and his stronghold was also in Kumano Beach in Shima Country. And Tominaga Mountain is still the mission of Izu Province, and his stronghold is Maruyama Castle in Izu Province. The distance between the strongholds of the two naval armies is very large, so they have not crossed paths before.

Under the development of Mount Fuyong, the navy of Izu Province now has nearly 160 large and small ships, and nearly 1,000 yuan of various types of personnel.

Although this strength is still a little weaker than that of the Nine Ghost Yoshitaka, after they got the news that the Izu Islands were attacked by the Nine Ghost Yoshitaka, they still resolutely wanted to have a battle with the Nine Ghost Yoshitaka.

As a very famous naval general, Fu Yongshan still has his own self-confidence, especially in water warfare, and he is very confident. Even if the opponent may have more people than on his side, as long as the tactics are appropriate, the water battle is really uncertain.

There are many waterways to get to the Izu Islands from Maruyama Castle in Izu Province, and the nearest waterway is the one to Wanoshima.
