The new news has not yet come, but a major event happened in Kyushu, at the beginning of the year, there was a civil strife in the Otomo family of Bungo, and Otomo Yoshikan, who was guarded by the three kingdoms of Bungo, Higo, and Chikugo, was killed by Otomo Yoshijin, the eldest son of the Emperor.

It is a well-known fact that the Kyushu daimyo Otomo Yoshijin did not like his eldest son, Otomo Yoshijin, and this family governor also made many common mistakes common to family civil strife, over-favoring Shioichi Maru born in the side room, and then conspired with Irita Qincheng, who served as the Fu servant of Otomo Yoshijin, to depose Nagatachi, and then Irita Seijin took advantage of Otomo Yoshijin to go to Hamawaki Onsen to recuperate, and killed Kosaii Yamato Mamoru and Saito Harima Shounaomi of the Yoshijin faction.

The other two retainers of the Nokajin faction, Tsuhisami Misaku, and Taguchi Zoto Sakami kin, after learning the bad news, led their men into the unsuspecting Otomo Pavilion overnight, and slashed Shioichi Maru, who was sleeping in the second order of the Otomo Pavilion, and his biological mother, and Otomo Yoshikan, who slept in Kiri, did not escape the bad luck, and was slashed on the spot by the rebellious ministers, and the scene was extremely tragic, and the famous Otomo Yoshikan in Kyushu died on February 12 in pain within a few days.

Otomo Yoshijin, the eldest son of Otomo Yoshijin, who hated him very much, raised troops from Beppu with lightning speed, killing the two makers of the rebellion, his cronies Tsukumi Misaku and Taguchi Sakuto Sakan, and immediately crusaded against his own Fu Servant Irita Kosei, who also lived up to expectations and fled to his father-in-law Aso Weifeng to take refuge, which was later known as the second-order collapse.

Because there are too many doubts in the second-order collapse change, and because it is rumored within the Otomo family that Otomo Yoshizhen planned this assassination plan, and immediately attacked and killed the defenseless Tsukumi Misaku Mamoru and Taguchi Kurato Sasa, so the Otomo family was separated from Germany.

Higo's uncle Kikuchi Yoshitake took advantage of the second-order collapse to contact Higo's wealthy clans, the Kakoki clan and the Tajima clan, to recapture the original Kikuchi territory and the Kikuchi family's home city, Kuma Honjo, and launched a counterattack against Higo in the next two months, successively attacking the Oyo clan of Otomo with the Miike, Otsuyama, and Wahito families, and at the same time, the Nawa, Sagara, and Ashishi families also assisted Yoshitake in attacking Kiyama Masaki Castle.

In April of the 19th year of Astronomy, Chikugo suppressed the Miike kinmori and Nishimuta kinshi who responded to the Kikuchi riots, and then invaded the Higo Kikuchi territory, and in the face of Otomo's strong army, at this time, the Kumabe, Akashi, and Castle of the Higo national lords, who were known as Kikuchi Mie Ministers, all fell to Otomo's side, and the situation moved in the direction of Otomo's advantage.

Although Otomo Yoshijin swept away the opponents in the family with lightning speed, and after suppressing other voices in the family, he successfully changed the unfavorable situation of Higo Province breaking away from the Otomo family, but the adverse effects caused by this incident are still fermenting, and the Otomo family's control over the retainers and people of the three kingdoms has also decreased significantly.

The battle for Gyeonggi in June had already been decided, and Kira Yoshitoki strictly ordered to step up the reorganization and training while renovating the armor, and the first thing he did was to summon the people who were close to him, and send down the 100 sets of armor captured by Hosokawa Harumoto, plus 100 horses and complete sets of swords and guns.

Of course, this "quasi" horse is only about the same equipment, there is still a lot of gap from the real horse round, some people who are only seven or eight years old can't wear armor, a total of more than sixty people can put on this set of equipment and sit on a horse, and those who can ride back and forth on a horse are reduced by half, and those who can really go into battle are reduced by half.

When convening the side of the crowd, Takigawa Keijiro Shiyi also ran back from the Yamato Kofukuji Temple, after more than half a year of training, not only grew a lot taller, but even the strength has more than doubled, carrying a ten-character gun directly to Saijo to prepare the roll call to challenge Watanabe Takatsuna, the result is that he insisted on the five before he was defeated, Watanabe Takatsuna said that he has the posture of a tiger general, and his future achievements are limitless.

Of course, not everyone was happy, so Gengoro Watanabe stopped Takikawa Shiyi with his small wooden gun: "Don't go!" I, Gengoro Watanabe, want to challenge you! I want to prove to my father that I am the real tiger! ”

Takigawa Tokiyoshi first smiled when he heard Gengoro Watanabe want to challenge him, and then saw that Honda Sanya was standing there at a loss with a small wooden gun and seemed to be about to cry, so he shook his head and said, "Oh? You're Gengoro Watanabe? I've heard Mimi say it many times! Since you want to challenge me, then I'll do what you want! ”

"I'm going to go!" Gengoro Watanabe brandished a wooden gun and stabbed it over, but he was too impatient to let go of the plate, and was tripped by Takigawa Shiyi flashed and stretched his legs and fell into a disgraced face, and Watanabe Gengoro, who did not admit defeat, got up again and pounced again, this time Takigawa Shiyi lifted the ten-character gun and blocked, and grabbed the small wooden gun and backhanded it on his neck.

"Damn! It was so easy to lose! Am I really unable to be a Tiger General? Gengoro Watanabe's stubborn little face was full of humiliation and unwillingness, and he closed his eyes with a heroic expression that led him to kill, which made Takikawa Shiyi laugh out loud, "Hahaha...... What a fun guy! ”

"Damn! Don't laugh! What's so funny! It's a disgusting duel, damn one! You're still laughing! Gengoro Watanabe sternly rebuked Takigawa Tokiyoshi for his faux pasa for desecrating the duel, which of course made him laugh even more cheerfully.

After a while, he couldn't laugh anymore, so he threw the wooden gun to him and waved his hand and said, "Hahaha...... I don't laugh anymore! Don't laugh anymore! Mark what I say! You can definitely become a tiger general in the future! It's been a long time since that's all it takes! You're a friend of Sanya, who is also a friend of my Keijiro! Let the misunderstanding between friends pass! My name is Keijiro Takigawa! Please advise! ”

"But...... I understand! My name is Gengoro Watanabe! Please advise! Gengoro Watanabe hesitated for a moment and reported his name, and then saw Honda Sanya pounce to save the two of them, and shouted, "Great! Keijiro is back! Keijiro is back! ”

"Bang Bang!" Kira Yoshitoki applauded their sincere friendship, and the Shimazuo who followed him was already hot, and when he saw the governor nodding to him, he hurriedly ran over and hugged them, laughing Sanmi laughed for a while and cried for a while, looking happy and silly, and the corners of Honda Yahachiro, who was standing on the other side of Kira Yoshitoki, kept twitching the corners of his mouth, showing a very ugly smile.

Kira Yoshishi smiled like a warm and brilliant summer sun, Wen Yan said to him: "Yahachiro, you must learn to laugh from the heart, laughter is the most harmless expression, the gentler you laugh, the more harmless it is, as a person who aspires to become a military advisor, strategist, and internal affairs officer, smile is your greatest friend, anger is your worst enemy, weakness and sadness must be hidden in the bottom of your heart, only people with a strong heart can achieve great achievements, understand?" ”

Honda was shocked when he heard this, and he was stunned for a moment when he looked at Kira Yoshishi, and then hurriedly said, "Your Majesty understands!" ”

"Excellent! Laugh now! Smile from the heart, feel relieved, not angry or jealous, and smile. Kira Yoshitoki smiled a little bit as he commanded Honda, and after finally smiling perfectly with satisfaction, he patted him on the shoulder and told him that he had done a good job.

Takigawa Tokiyoshi pulled his three brothers over and greeted Kirayoshi, and then asked, "Lord of the Hall!" Keijiro is back! Is there going to be a war this time? ”

"Well, it's going to be a war, don't worry, your chance to show up is indispensable, as the first battle, you have to perform well!" Kira Yoshitoki said with a smile.

Honda Sanya poked his head and asked, "Can we go into battle and kill the enemy?" ”

"Ahem! This can't be done, it can only be used as a side guard by the side of the family. ”

"That's it! I thought I could go into battle and kill the enemy! I've been looking forward to it for a long time! Honda Sanya flattened his mouth and retracted.

"Sanmi can't go into battle at such a young age, and he will be able to go into battle when he grows up in a few years." Kira Yoshitoki told them the precautions before going into battle, but in fact, it was all he heard from Yamamoto Tokiyuki and then sold them in their original clothes, and sent them away with a look of admiration on the faces of the four people.

"Your Excellency! The two months were too rushed, and the armament of Shiga and Takashima was probably only better than that of ordinary countrymen, and it was difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness if they went into battle. Honda was making his point at the right time, and he learned the lessons of the previous time and tried to set his own standards closer to reality to suit Kira's attitude.

"Hehe, it's okay, these two reserve teams didn't plan to train to be elite! They are neither Saijo Bei, who has been training for five years, nor Akabei, who was born as a samurai, what can they do in two months? If you go into battle, even Saijo Bei won't be able to exert 10% of his combat power! Don't worry, the family knows it. Kira Yoshitoki waved his hand and slowly left, leaving Honda standing there slightly disappointed.

"No! I have to work harder! Honda was looking at the distant back of Kira Yoshitoki in a distracted manner, took a deep breath and said, "Smile, smile hard!" A smile slowly crept across Hondo's face.
