October 23, Tensho 6 (1578) Sadogahara-jo Castle town
There is no conquest without conquest,
The samurai of these rural villages in southern Kyushu should also see the power of the daimyo of the six countries, and they should bow down to the glory of God and submit to the otomo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On October 20, 1578, the 6th year of Tensho (1578), the Gospel of Christ finally reached Minamikyushu, and the crusaders were not very different from the crusaders of more than 300 years ago, except that none of them were devout Catholics.
The army full of apricot leaves crossed the Ogawa River in a mighty way, and it was too many to count, and this was also the number that most of the detectives sent out by the Shimazu family could not count.
Although these detectives or these spies are experienced, Nankyushu has never seen such a military situation, and it is impossible to distinguish the forces represented by these military forces.
In the end, they can only use it to describe their mood or shock.
There were more than 30,000 invasions, densely marched, and they were as ferocious as locusts crossing the border.
The left wing of this army is Saeki Yukyo, the right wing is Takita Zhenzhou, and the middle lane commander Tahara is kin-ken, and these generals are all famous generals of the Otomo family for a while.
Although such an army did not converge with Shiga's personal defense, the more than 10,000 allied troops of Tachibana Michiyuki and Takahashi Shaoyun advancing from Higo were also extremely rare in the history of the Kyushu War.
Probably under the current army, there will not be a single intact temple or shrine left in the entire north of Ogawa.
Probably under such a military situation, those retainers of the Shimazu family will fall apart when they get this news, if the foreign monk of the Otomo family, Otomo Sorin, hadn't wasted six months in the north of the Ogawa River,
Of course, there is no need to go through a war, and a small armed march can collapse the Shimazu family, a country samurai.
But now it's October, and autumn is leaving, and it's almost winter, and six months is enough time for the Shimazu family to become a reluctant opponent under Otomo's strategy.
If the Shimazu family's plan was only to garrison the territory, Shimazu Yoshihisa would definitely give up the Ito family's old territory and completely withdraw to the Shinkoin and Iino Castle lines, using Yamashiro as a layer to resist.
Although there is a danger of being caught in the Sagara family, if you hold the territory in your own homeland, with the support of your countrymen, it will be extremely difficult for the Otomo family to develop.
But in this way, the Shimazu family will completely lose the opportunity to dominate Kyushu, and the efforts of three generations of the Shimazu family over the past 30 years will be in vain.
And also after the Otomo family completely dominated the old Ito domain, the Shimazu family still had to submit to the Kyushu overlord who had become even larger.
Therefore, Shimazu Yoshihisa of Satsuma Inner Castle made a decision and personally went out from the inner castle to mobilize all the forces of the three countries.
Bet on the fate of yourself and the Shimazu family in the future, and make a blood bet in front of the gods and Buddhas and the ancestors.
"Each person brings their own five-day grain and rice, and be sure to fight with your big friend before the grain and rice are exhausted!" This is an order on the military service certificate.
If it fails, it is not impossible that the Shimazu family will cease to exist.
Today's mobilization has never been done in Minami Kyushu.
Hinata, Osumi, and Satsuma, who were far less than 450,000 in the three kingdoms of Ishitaka, mobilized nearly 30,000 troops, and these troops did not include the soldiers of Shimazu Tadahi (Yoshihiro) stationed at Iino Castle to defend the Sagara family.
After receiving the news of the mobilization order, Shimazu moved his residence to the town.
Now that the head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, is personally the general of this battle, and the castle tower must at least have the identity of his father Shimazu to live in.
He looked at the scroll with a little worry, but Mo Yi took a basin of clear water and twisted his hair leisurely.
It's just that it's a little inconvenient with one hand, and the tail of the long hair is unevenly shaved.
smiled carefully at the clear water, and the ripples on the water covered his appearance.
In the past few days, he has still lost the food collected from Osumi Province and Hyuga Province, and Mo Yi can be regarded as having a little extra meal every night.
Although the body will be a little uncomfortable, but the complexion is much better than before.
Of course, she is not worried, not worried about the future.
Because she knew that the Shimazu family would win this battle, she twisted her hair and hummed a song while handing her eyes to the paperwork on the table.
It's just that the news on the paperwork is really not much better.
Shimazu has been fighting for many years, and no matter how rich the landlord's family is, there is no surplus food.
And now that he is fishing for all his might, although there is a lot of food in Sadogaha Castle, the consumption is also increasing with the arrival of other troops.
And this year, the food harvested by Xinnain and Shinyuki was only enough to feed the sergeants every day, but this was not too long.
In addition, southern Kyushu is mountainous, and its own military rations are transported by water, and the consumption from Satsuma Province to Hyuga Province is a huge number.
The Shimazu family is really empty now, and both the food and the reputation of the daimyo have been overdrawn.
Mo Yi moved her gaze back to the water mirror, but saw the young master who was reviewing the documents just now standing behind her mysteriously, she unconsciously raised the knife on her right hand, and the drooping hair on both sides was watery, but she also watched the young man in the mirror be twisted into a dream by the ripples.
"I'll let you follow this time." Sui Ping stroked Mo Yi's long hair and slowly trimmed the jagged hair left by Mo Yi,
Approaching her, sniffing her scent and twisting her sideburns,
"In this battle, even if the head of the family is holding the belief that he will die in battle, if I die, I will definitely not leave your life before the hell of bliss.
Left you, how can you survive in this world? ”
Mo Yi stroked the bellflower mark on his sleeve and thought about it carefully, but he didn't understand the truth inside.
"I'll probably survive." Of course, Mo Yi was against the young master's idea of wanting to take her to hell, but she thought that this battle was of course not as sad as Suihei thought, but the beginning of the Shimazu family's domination of Kyushu, so she definitely expressed her confidence.
"On the contrary, you are the head of the six hundred (ronin), but now you are so depressed, and you have been defeated before you ...... fight."
And this, of course, it was Shimazu-sama's hair parselves that made her assert,
The young master is indeed not like before, and Mo Yi's temperament makes her make trouble,
A sinuous streak of blood was gently cut on the white neck, dyed red as if it were a sin.
As long as the knife is gently inserted along the blood stains, there is no moment of pain, and this life will wither like a cherry blossom.
In front of the Santu River, the lace on the other side is connected by the fate of evil, and the world is called fate.
And to say that now, whether it is military strength or strategy, the military strength of the Otomo family is a behemoth.
His Royal Highness Shimazu Iehisa had already rushed to Takajo last night with the most elite bannermen, and he left a letter in which he also said that if he died in battle, there would be no need for a loyal and brave man to die for it.
At the end of the pleadings, it is also titled: there are more than 3,000 people in Gaocheng, and there is no loneliness on Huangquan Road.
