Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Hitting and changing from a rushed June, July was relatively peaceful. Occasionally when the chief can appear, to the extent that he returns dissatisfied with whether it was an incomplete combustion, there is no change that I said this.

Talent was thoroughly guarded by Shizuko as usual, and Takati acted with the Kuroshima crowd, so he frequently vacated the house, and it was rare to show his face.

Celebration, on the other hand, played with them every day in the name of surveillance of the scenic victories and hostages.

Although Shizuko would spend days cleaning up the affairs that were lagging behind due to the noise of the new building celebrations, she was far from being busy killing herself in executive duties because the administrative personnel had become proficient in administrative tasks, so if she made decisions, she would take over the rest of the arrangements.

Such peaceful days also end in mid-July. Nobunaga finally ordered the Asai/Asakura family crusade.

Nobunaga himself appeared as general general in this formation, and Nobunaga (formerly: Odd Maru), a man of honor, also followed Nobunaga in the position of deputy general.

Naturally, Shizuko also had a voice, which she herself carried to the line. The total strength of the Oda army was assembled to make Nobunaga's intentions known internally and externally.

"Er. This time, the Master intends to destroy both Asai and Asakura families. The opponent is also expected to resist madness in death because there is no later. Be alert and be sure not to get hurt."

As usual, the eight usual faces can't hide their bitter laughter, gathered in the military to some distracted Shizuko's lesson.

"This time, we will concentrate on the Asakura family's response. The attack on the Asai family side was under way, so we decided to leave it to you as always. Because if someone who doesn't know the scene squeaks out and causes discord, it's the end of the line. I think it would be good to deal with the request from Master Hanzawa's side. If you have special circumstances, you will have orders from your superiors."

As the saying goes, Shizuko planned to concentrate his army exclusively on the Asakura family.

As mentioned earlier, Hideyoshi had sometimes dealt with the Asai family as his predecessor, but this was largely due to the fact that the castle fort used by the Asakura family was located behind the Asai family.

Especially the castle of Otsuku is a necessity that determines the whereabouts of this sardine. Oya Castle is a castle on the north side of Oya Mountain, just like Oya Castle, home to the Asai family.

Built to the north of Kotani Castle, it occupies a very important position as a relay point to Ichigo Castle, home to the Asakura family.

In other words, if Nobunaga suppresses this place, the Asai family will have a blade stuck to their throats.

The Asai family is completely separated from the Asakura family, and the only advantage of the inferior number of soldiers, Asakura and Asakura, is the inability to collaborate, and it is obvious to everyone that each of them will be destroyed.

"This will be preceded by the exile of General Akali from Kyo. Well, we won't have to do anything about this. However, I believe that the attack on Asai and Asakura will take place after the general's deportation."

"I'm just a general by name now, and I don't think there's going to be any later rot if I end it."

"As for the superior, he must have hated the notoriety of the General Killer usurper. And formally, the other person surrendered and accepted it, so we have to get through it."

"Hmm."

Shizuko answers Nagako's words. Were there no particular deep intentions, the chief could have finished the conversation by responding raw.

"For more information, we will go to Omi and talk at a military conference on the road. As always, please prepare."

"Accepted"

"Then this concludes the military debate. Stay sharp until the scheduled date."

The military conference for the Battle of Asai and Asakura opened in a short time.

Essentially, Shizuko just states the circular matters, which is due to the fact that there is little content to discuss. Nobunaga was also willing to tighten up Echinaka Ichizo after taking the territory of both Asai and Asakura families.

Echinaka Ichizo will be surrounded by Echinaka, Mino, and Echinawa, completely losing ground.

Then you will choose to succumb to Nobunaga, seek refuge in the fallen Takeda, or attack somewhere with a rash.

It was convenient for Nobunaga to choose which of them Echinaka Ichizo chose. As long as Echinaka Ichizo can be dropped, the strength of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple will only leave the Kishu Gatekeeper behind.

Unlike temple forces such as Mount Bee, Honshoji does not have its own group of monks.

Their strength is a free-flowing force that mobilizes gatekeepers scattered all over the place, organized from time to time when needed and dissolved if needed.

Its foundation is the gatekeeper, and if it diminishes, the influence of the main temple will inevitably weaken.

Nobunaga therefore intended to eradicate the only remaining Echinaka Ichizo in East Japan and restrict the gatekeepers of Hondo Temple to the western side of his own territory.

"That's it," he said.

Shizuko gathers the necessary documents and sends a letter to Nobunaga.

This time it was necessary to be thorough backwards support, not attackers. Omi really has fewer plains due to the presence of Lake Biwa in the center of the territory, and the harvest is inferior to the rest for the territory.

It was therefore difficult to procure supplies locally, and it was necessary to transport military supplies from Ise, Mino and Ozhang as well. Hideyoshi, who was also the current predecessor, relied solely on support from Mino with regard to supplies.

If all troops were to deploy to Omi this time, it could be difficult to navigate in the procurement of supplies.

In order to avoid that concern, Shizuko's rear support unit also had to take charge of the barracks and apply supplies without undue shortage.

"Oh, what do you guys do when the army moves, you're hostages? Do you want to leave it to Keiji? I'll leave this to Xiao, and Cai will manage the cashier... Yeah, I guess this is it."

Shizuko, who wrote up the necessary paperwork, ordered Xiao to give it to her when she invited her first name. All you have to do is gather what Xiao and Cai need and contact the rear support unit.

That's all the heartbeat barracks that send blood to the Oda family start moving.

"Territorial management is doing well, and we're less affected by how much this time. After moving to Kyobei, it has been established that it will become Sekibai… I think the old book codification project will also become full-scale."

Shizuko, who feared that precious ancient books had been lost in the period of confusion since the confusion of Yinren and were still scattered, was interested in the business of compiling scattered ancient books, as was the case with "Group Book Obedience (Grunge)" compiled by Kuniichi in historical facts.

However, this project required cooperation long before it had much influence over public houses and temples.

Fortunately, long before he expressed an interest in the conservation project, he promises to cooperate with Shizuko.

However, it was not possible to give in kind and therefore a copy had to be made. In other words, it becomes a process of borrowing the original and making copies and compiling them through it.

There is no profit in the vast amount of time, personnel, and expense that will be required.

But Shizuko considered it problematic that the aggregated ancient books of history, which went on more business than gold, would disappear, promising to screw up costs over personal assets, which were surplus.

The project of recognizing value in culture and not leaving ancient books was unexpectedly favourably accepted by cultural people, such as the public society and the temple forces, including the Korean court.

Although it is unclear whether this is the case, all forty volumes of "Post-Japanese Broomsticks", which are only ten volumes in modern times, have been regrouped after a century since the fifteenth century, although they are copies.

Copy permission was also obtained for books of the court secrets and so on, as were various ancient books held by public houses and temples.

However, actual work required time on a yearly basis, and there were no old books or anything that would finish making copies in a short amount of time.

"In historical fact, Uekyo was burned, but there was no such thing as an ancient book left? Anyway, burning or losing a book is a huge loss for future generations, so we need to start the business of making a full episode while the retrieval takes effect."

For the record, Baoyi has spent nearly forty years editing a total of 1273 species. Shizuko's project to compile a full collection of classics, which is likely to gather more ancient books, suggested that more time might be needed.

That's why Shizuko thought that Shizuko had to start at a time when Makoto would take office at the top of the morning courtroom called Kanbai.

"The Kingsguard will help us with the codification, so we'll just keep doing business with guts."

Here is an overview of Shizuko's project to compile a full collection of old books:

First get a copy of the old book whenever possible. Based on this copy, the characters listed shall be replaced by standardised kanji and plain pseudonyms, katakana.

This is because the letters written in the old book differ depending on the writer.

The aim is to leave it as information that everyone can read by using standardized notations.

Once the unification of the letters has been completed, they shall be printed in hard copy (in a vertical step-by-step combination format similar to modern manuscript paper) and made into books. At the end of the day, a wooden version that can be printed as is will be finished.

"Well, I don't have any other work to do... Come on, Vitman"

Shizuko calls out as she invites to the Vitmen who stood still in the corner of the room. When they all get up in her voice, they rush to Shizuko at a glance.

When Shizuko strokes Vitman's head, he responds by shaking his tail vigorously. Soon after, Kaiser and I and I bowed out, and Shizuko stroked everyone's heads in turn with a bitter smile.

"All right, let's go for a walk."

Shizuko, who had enjoyed her first contact for a while, thought about going outside because of the weather.

To Shizuko, who I remembered but suddenly rose only on auspicious days, the Vitmen, who were at first tilting their necks and looking up, line up behind me, guessing the purpose as Shizuko began to prepare for the outing.

They chase the long static child of the flock as he walks ahead and waves his tail from beside or behind them.

"It's a beautiful day. Ah!

When she goes out into the large garden, Shizuko stretches her back and gets full sunlight.

Recently, the sun stained my eyes for the first time in a long time because I had been pulling and doing only administrative work. The Vitmans also stretch thoughtfully following Shizuko.

"If the weather is good tomorrow, it might be a good idea to sneak out in the sun"

In hopes of continued good weather, Shizuko walked out with the Vitmans.

The next day it became a rainy pattern of hatred.

In late July, the last general of the Muromachi Shogunate, Yoshiaki Takaori, announced that he would return the position of General Toyotomi and take the righteous hunt, the son, as the successor to the Takaori family.

Yishao herself leaves the capital and descends into the country of preparation. We are talking about Nobunaga raising him responsibly in order to take on the next General Yihui, the man, but everyone regarded Yihui as a hostage.

Yishao's own exit was also announced as due to ill health, but only to Nobunaga's handed exile in anyone's eyes.

Nevertheless, even if rotten, the glory of the former general remained, and there was nothing like his life being persecuted.

Externally, the Tabernacle of Takeshi survives, but the people of Kyo, the court of mornings, the public houses, and the people of other countries also thought the Tabernacle was doomed.

Later history books describe it as the demise of the Muromachi Shogun in late July 1573.

With Yoshiaki's expulsion from Kyo, the indirect reign of Nobunaga with him came to an end, and the time opened for Nobunaga himself to behave as a heavenly man.

Nobunaga immediately received the former Tomori family's bureau as his own territory, and renovated the current original name from the former tortoise to Tianzheng.

He also ordered Sadashi Murai, his own minister and director of Kyoto, to carry out the work previously carried out by the Shogun.

"Times change. What's wrong with everyone that from now on, the good times......

While reading the report made by Kyo, Shizuko was able to stand at the turn of time, and I feel deeply emotional. but the people around me weren't that close.

"What... hot"

That's obvious to see how everyone is shutting up to the heat. Temperatures were several degrees higher this year than usual, and the heat continued, as we call it in modern times.

Celebration and the like had taken off their jackets and exposed themselves to underwear, and Talent had no small word about whether they would not have the strength to say anything, even with a said look on their face.

The furry Vitman family, the balls, Hannah and other animals also began to stay in the shade, avoiding the burning sun.

At the moment Shizuko's residence, I wouldn't even say she was healthy, but Shizuko was the only one acting as usual.

"It's been a hot day. Getting in line is close, and I might have to think of something to take care of?

"I mean... why is Shizuko okay? I'm dying of heat."

"Why isn't summer hot?

It's not like Shizuko hasn't felt the heat either.

Because of the high pressure in the Pacific Ocean, there is not much wind in the summer in Japan. That said, the summer of the Warring States, a small ice age, is much cooler than the scorching hell where modern Japan's hot days continue.

There is not a heat island phenomenon caused by air conditioning, nor is there a lighting back of paved roads.

If the buildings are not so dense as to block the slightest wind, the less airtight architectural styles will not go hand in hand and the room temperature will not keep rising.

For this reason, from Shizuko, who knows more about hell in real life experience, this degree of heat is somewhat uncomfortable, and I don't think it's hot enough to boil it up like the Keizaki's.

"You have no choice. I wonder if you'd like to take a watermelon out of the ice room and eat it."

90% of watermelons consist of moisture. It can therefore be considered a classic summer fruit that produces cool.

It also contains a lot of beta-carotene and lycopene, as can be seen from red pulp, and is surprisingly high in potassium, thus restoring fatigue and diuretics.

It was not just a sweet fruit with a lot of moisture, but a sensible dessert to keep the summer cool. Break your body if you eat too much, but that's not limited to watermelons.

"Uh, watermelons and tomatoes chilled in well water do taste good."

"Yes! I won't. Now, I want you to be ready. Be sure."

A good cold watermelon came out after a while and a freshly harvested tomato that had been cooled in well water until earlier.

"Well, this is it on a hot day."

The Celebrations survived the heat by eating tomatoes and watermelons as they dipped their feet in a bucket containing cold water.

Shizuko was aiming for the field with farm tools one day, when the schedule of appearances was over and she had no time to spare until the scheduled date.

The day was rarely windy and the heat was slightly soothing. Usually the Vitmans, whose shade was constant, were cool enough to follow Shizuko well.

Summer sunshine is a strong thing though. Shizuko wore a handmade straw hat.

"Hmm. Summer is the real deal for field work."

Rice gets its harvest season around autumn, so in summer, which is also subtly farm idleness, it puts its energy into field work. Summer vegetables and other whole branches, leaf picking, and harvesting are basic tasks.

It is familiar, and Shizuko quickly trims and leaves to check the condition of the crop. The vegetables and fruits of the harvest season were put into the garden, and the thinning was buried in the soil.

"Vitman is this way. Kaiser, take that. Ardelheit, pull this string... ok, fixed. You can let go now."

I'm going to work with the Vitman family to clean up field work. The Vitmans were also used to working well in response to Shizuko's instructions. By the time I was a little over noon, the work I had planned was over.

"Mmm, all done. If you think about moving, August 3rd or 4th is the day, so you can work in the fields in the next few days."

After stretching her back, Shizuko rests in the shade of a tree. The Vitmans stretched out just like Shizuko when they formed around Shizuko. The wind flutters and cools the body burned in the sun.

Shizuko felt drowsy with a pleasant cheerfulness, but when she slept sweaty she would definitely catch a cold, slapping her cheeks and getting in the mood.

"Okay, let's get sweaty. Then let's just relax."

When I stroke one of Kaiser's heads, Shizuko stands up completely. After leaving the farming tools to work downwards, Shizuko washed away her body full of dirt and sweat in the bath.

After I left the bath, I took a slightly late lunch and spent some time doing the clerical work lightly.

The relaxing air while conceiving the tension before the battle was a slight rest allowed to her, which had become a heavy town of the Oda family.

It's a quiet, restful time. But surely the day was approaching for a harsh quarry. That's why she cared about this serene routine.

"Oh, yuki, isn't it? That's unusual."

Looking at the paperwork, I opened the entrance and came in as YukiLeopard Yukiko. When they see Shizuko checking the paperwork, they pull her cuffs flat.

It is a sign of intent to stand here if you are just sitting. Even as Shizuko, it is not a hurry document, so when I put it on my desk, I stroke Yuki's head.

It was the Vitman family that reacted first to Shizuko interrupting her work.

They looked surprised by the outrage that disturbed Shizuko's work, but when they found out they had done a lot of work, they squeezed their expression, forming themselves around Shizuko with exceptional teamwork.

The Vitmans floated their proud faces by securing a fixed position, but Yuki-kun was not bound by the seat, and pretended to be tails regardless of the Vitmans, clutching to Shizuko.

"It's hot when it's that dense. See, you loved being able to stroke your jaw."

As I stroked my head and jaw, my balls and Hannah had also come into the room at some point. Silogane, crogane, and acorns were looking at static children from outside the open obstacle.

There was a little zoo around Shizuko. Shizuko falls asleep with his head on after stroking Kaiser's back, which was behind him.

"This is the calmer part."

Shizuko, again attacked by comfortable fatigue while whining, let go of consciousness without resisting.

The day I set out to celebrate my days of playing with animals, including the Vitman family, after working in the fields to the full.

When Shizuko asks the Vitmans about the house, she wears armor to get out of the line. When I wrapped up my battle outfit, there was nowhere to find Shizuko with her usual loose expression.

"It is also the last battle with Asai and Asakura, which lasted a long time. I'll settle this one."

"Ha!!

"Go, go!!

Shizuko, who grinned satisfactorily at the soldiers' response, hung the decree to leave the line. A little while after starting the march, Shizuko noticed that the concurrence was coming to drop him off.

When Shizuko smiled, she put her right hand against her arms and showed her what she called a (so-called) gutsy pose bending her left arm upwards.

I was surprised by what I was unfamiliar with, but when I realized it was a way to float, I smiled and posed the same as Shizuko.

That was all it took, but Shizuko felt it somehow made sense.

On August 6, Shizuko arrived in formation as the siege of Kotani Castle continued. At the same time, reports are delivered to the Oda faction that Aku Jeongsen of Yamamoto Castle has returned to Nobunaga's side.

Aku, who had been secretly connected to the Oda side for a long time, once again declared that he would fall back on the Oda side. After receiving this news, Nobunaga went from Gifu to Omi.

On August 8, Nobunaga will be in formation near Yamada Village. Asakura, who obtained this information, went out in formation with all the armies, understanding that there would be no next, and formed near Kinomoto.

The Oda and Asakura armies confronted each other across the Takashi or Yamada rivers. The Oda army confronted the Asakura army, while also distributing troops to Mount Tiger as a suppression of Oya Castle.

For the record, Yoshijing Asakura only knows that he laid his headquarters in Mt Tagomi, and it is unclear how he placed the other warlords.

It is expected that Ichimen Asakura was arranged to surround the main formation of Yoshinaga, and that the Yamazaki Yijia and others were arranged near the Takakogawa River, which meets Nobunaga.

On the other hand, Nobunaga placed Katsuya Shibata, Rika Maeda, Shinsheng Sakuma, etc. as opposed to Asahi Kurakura, Hideyoshi Hanzai in Mt. Tiger, and two Shinzhong were placed as suppressors of Asai in the vicinity.

Akechi Kwang-soo was placed in the suppression of Kino Castle, halfway between Nobunaga's main unit and Tiger Mimae Mountain. Others, Ichitetsu Inaba and Mr. Pusheng's hometown were in formation near Nobunaga's main formation.

And where Shizuko hath formed, it is beside the faithfulness. But Shizuko at the heart was not in the place, although it was the formation beside Shinzhong.

"The fortifications of Tiger Mountain need repair... deploy the artillery crowd 250 as a suppression of Kotani Castle. Set aside enough supplies for ten days at a time. Six days from now, we'll send in a supply unit."

The reason for Shizuko's absence is that the main purpose of this time is to be in charge of the barracks.

As for Nobunaga, I wanted to make sure that things went ahead because I intend to destroy Asai and Asakura this time. But there is no reason for the general to move himself here and there.

Thereupon the arrow of white feathers stood Shizuko.

By winning the battle against Takeda, Shizuko did not have to actively seek results, but had a voice and influence that could not be taken lightly by anyone.

As it is in a position to receive assistance such as the transport of supplies and the dispatch of artillery, it cannot be made unholy as any other warlord.

(It's a roundabout way. But when the heavens approach, the power struggle begins even within the Oda family, and when the master moves, he is too influential, so can't you help it?)

The basic placement is Nobunaga's decision, but the final decision was left to Shizuko.

Even though he seemed to have been pressed for a good coordinator of his body, it was rare for Nobunaga to leave his political discretion to Shizuko, so he decided to take it as a sign of trust.

A line of supplies continues to be transported to Tiger Mountain. In order to exert pressure on Asai, more rear cars were used than was necessary for the transportation of supplies.

This measure seemed to have worked quite well, and the Asai army was wary of the overwhelming quantities of material operated by the Oda family.

"Looks like it's going well."

Hanbei Takenaka spoke to Shizuko as he was giving instructions to the rear support unit. When he finishes giving the soldiers now, Shizuko turns to Hanbei Takenaka.

"Yeah, it's going well. We'll deploy 250 artillery men here. Well, Asai doesn't have a lot of residual force, so I don't think he's going to attack me, just in case."

"This research often suggests something like 2,000. It would feel like just protecting the castle would be a handful. But I also say bite a cramped cat. If you hunt down too much, you could get a painful counterattack."

"You're a cautionary foe. How can I help you, by the way?

She didn't think from the start that Hanbei Takenaka would talk to Shizuko to purely chat, etc.

Whether you can drop Kotani Castle or not depends greatly on the martial arts of the Hanzai Army. Shizuko thought she couldn't afford to chat with others.

"As you can guess. As a matter of fact, Lord Hachiba wants to talk to Lord Shizuko. I won't take much time, would you like a little help?

"... I'm going to go to Master Akechi, so I won't have that much time, if that's okay with you."

Shizuko was sighing inside while responding to the offer. It already seemed like leading players from all over the Oda family were holding each other back.

By this time, Kwang-soo was more vocal than the other ministers. Nobunaga ruled Kyo at his discretion, leaving Sakamoto wanting his name as Nobunaga.

I thought it might be prudent to take one side, and sometimes try to make bold adjustments, so much so that Nobunaga praised it directly for its work.

From the perspective of Shizuko, who does not want to be born, it is to rejoice that Nobunaga's heavenly unity will be quicker, but from the other ministers it was an uninteresting story.

"We are well aware of that. Okay, here you go."

When he takes over the rest of his duties to others, Hanbei Takenaka guides him to Hideyoshi's formation. They were roaring in front of a map, in a place of military debate.

Hideyoshi, at the mercy of the eye, finds Shizuko as soon as possible. No, Nico and his favorite grin.

"Oh! I've been waiting for you, Lord Shizuko. No, I'm sorry to call you so suddenly. Actually, come in and do me a favor."

Guide Shizuko to the front of the map as she says. Whether or not you can do martial arts here, it's up to you whether or not your previous struggles will pay off. He was also desperate to get a higher reward or status.

"Actually, from here on out, I'm cracking my opinions on how we should attack. I've discussed this with everyone, but I don't have a good plan for saying this. So, can you give Shizuko your opinion from the perspective of a third party who is an outsider?

"Yeah... I don't mind if you ask"

Even as he replies, Shizuko sees the face participating in the military conference.

Everyone had a look on their face that didn't seem interesting. Only one, Hideyoshi's brother, Hideyoshi, had a pleasant look to expect something from.

It's a natural story. When it comes to Hideyoshi's policies, such as valuing the opinions of outsiders, it is not interesting as someone who has previously participated in military discussions and twisted his head.

Shizuko pointed to a point on the map, even though she had a stomachache in her gaze that could also be taken as hostile.

"The spot that will be the focus of this time, it will be Fort Yakito and Castle Osamu. Especially when Osamu Castle is dropped, you can cut off contact between Asai and Asakura. In that case, Asakura, who opposed him, would abandon Asai."

"But the local interest lies with the other party. Aren't you going to try to recapture the castle?

Hideyoshi asks Shizuko a question without changing her expression. The other faces look at Hideyoshi as he smiles with Niyaniya wondering if he pointed out the holes in Shizuko's proposal.

But Shizuko lifted it up and showed it when she took the brush and drew only what was on the map.

"Can you say the same thing when you look at this?

Everyone, including Hideyoshi, said to look at the map, but I don't know what the symbols drawn in by Shizuko indicate. However, I notice that Hanbei Takenaka immediately suggests that the enemy forces will change chronologically.

After a little delay, Hideyoshi also noticed and roared. Except for the two of us, however, we never understood.

"Ha ha, brother. It would be really clear if you knew how to look at it. Let's say that we dropped the castle and Asai set out to reclaim the castle from Kotani. That movement is this symbol, the number of troops remaining in Kotani Castle has been greatly reduced. What would you say, brother?

"It's decided what to do. If Kotani Castle's defenses have diminished, poke that gap and attack it... Ah!

Having said that, Hideyoshi finally comes to an understanding. Tell me what Shizuko tried to say.

"That's right. If Asai or Asakura head to Osamu Castle, it's a good opportunity to slap behind them for the Oda Army that beats them in numbers. It can't be inferior in number and the person being cautious doesn't realize it. You can't take it back with a half-breed force, just send a large army and the main force will fall. The only line of communication will be severed and it will not come true to know each other's thoughts. It's a completely packed plate surface."

Hanbei Takenaka explains the symbols and meanings added by Shizuko with a fan. At last, Hideyoshi's ministers also stood at the frontiers of Shizuko, marveling at the same time.

Shizuko noticed easily and pointed out that they had not noticed that they continued to worry about each other. It hurt my self-esteem significantly, but I was excited that I was going to lose at the same time.

"I mean, if we drop Fort Yakito and Castle Otaku, we'll be sure of the war, brother!

"I know you won't even tell me! I see... these two, no. Drop just the castle and the winning balance will lean against us!

"It is also in anticipation of this that the Master was placed in that position. Perhaps in a few days, there will be some movement. From there, it seems like a battle with time."

Now, whine and Shizuko checks the position of the sun to guess the time. If we leave now, we estimated that we could arrive at Kwang-soo's while there was day.

Kwang-soo's army is small because it is a guerrilla squad and does not require that much time to carry supplies or to place artillery crowds.

Today's work is expected to be completed on schedule, as we plan to head to Katsuya Shibata and Rika Maeda on Asakura tomorrow.

"Now that we are pressing for time, I apologize for this"

Shizuko tells Hideyoshi and the others to resign, but it had not reached anyone's ears already. Everyone has an exchange of opinions about whether or not they're surrounding the map.

This obsession with martial arts, arguably desperate, is probably the strength of Hideyoshi's army. Shizuko thought so, while lowering one head he turned his back on them.

(The boulder is Lord Shizuko. Precisely discern the core of things and communicate them to others easily. Okay, well, how does she make this one fun)

Hideyoshi laughed and dropped off Shizuko as she left the military conference venue.

With a little haste, Shizuko arrived at Mitsuko's formation. Since it had been communicated in advance, the loading of supplies began immediately when the security soldiers were informed of the requirements.

An artillery crowd of 100 will be placed in the forces attacking Shino Castle, which Kwang-soo will attack.

Looking at the ratio of 250 to Hideyoshi and 450 to Shibata and Maeda, it looks less. This is because Kwang-soo's unit is organized as a guerrilla squad.

If we took large numbers, we would inevitably slow down the march, thus placing only 100 people. And besides the artillery crowd, the dragon cavalry (the new gun-equipped cavalry) 50 was placed in Kwang-soo's formation.

Dragon Cavalry 50 to the artillery crowd 100, operate these and Mitsuyuki attacks Shono Castle.

"Thank you, Shizuko."

When I was in command of the material loading, Mitsui rang from behind me. Shizuko exhales her inner sigh, but her expression responds to Mitsuki with a smile

"This is Master Akechi"

"Oh, let's skip the hard greeting. Thanks for the quick supplies loading. Thanks to you, these cannons are no longer worried about ammunition."

The deployment of new guns is not going so well. Because high precision is required, manufacturing takes time.

For this reason, most units continue to use conventional firearms. It can also be said that Nobunaga has carefully selected a deployment destination for fear of being captured by the enemy.

Shinako had provided ministers with an adequate supply of gunpowder, as Shizuko continued to manufacture it from an early age, while other people struggled to procure it.

"If you're running out, please offer me. If you add up to one hundred and thirty-three pieces (about five hundred kilometers), you are free to use them."

Several soldiers and smallholders who were nearby react to a quantity of about five hundred kilometres. Gwang-soo, who is well perceived, only then grasped the approximate situation. He continues with a grin.

"It's superimposed. So you can afford to accommodate one hundred and thirty-three pieces (...) just by my team. And if we can afford more than that, that's a good thing."

The small-time user who showed a reaction and the soldiers' faces were stretched. But it's only a matter of time before I get back to work. It was too blatant and he was laughing as he rarely showed his teeth to Kwong Soo.

"You shouldn't. When you get older, you want to make fun of the young people you stick with."

"Sometimes it's important to go home to your children."

"You're the one on the left. Well, standing talked longer. I hear you don't have plans after this, would you like to join us for an evening?

"It hurts to care. Now let me sweeten your words."

I had expected, but Shizuko had a headache before a bad abdominal arts. Nevertheless, as with Hideyoshi, I smile and respond without giving it a look.

The content of the evening garden was qualitative. Because it provides minimal nutrition, there was no problem, but there was no glamour of colour.

That's it if you call it luxury, but Shizuko thought she still wanted an element that could be enjoyed with her eyes.

"Lord Shizuko, may I speak to you for just a moment?

It was a meal with a soothing atmosphere, but that ended with Mitsuki speaking to Shizuko with a somewhat serious look. Shizuko tightened her mind when she saw how Mitsu-su was doing, and put the chopsticks down.

"It was an answer to me, for what?"

"Thank you. Actually, I'd like to talk to you about the city of Sakamoto that I'm entrusted with."

"What is that about?

Sakamoto is said to be a town in front of the gates and stone piles of the Nanjoji Temple of Bichiyama. Especially famous for the beautiful stone piles of the hole crowd. In modern times, important traditional building preservation districts have been designated by the State.

The role entrusted to Mitsuhide in Sakamoto is to monitor the Yuen Temple and control Biwako Lake, as well as to secure the street leading to Kyo. For this reason, Nobunaga has ordered Mitsuki to build the castle at Sakamoto Castle.

Guangxiu was deeply constructed in Tsukijo, thus making Sakamoto Castle a watercastle format using the water of Biwako Lake. He also built the castle as a magnificent castle wearing the Great Heavenly Guard and the Little Heavenly Guard.

In historical fact, until Hideyoshi Akechi set fire to the castle in Tenjong decade and harmed himself with his clan, Sakamoto Castle was regarded by Lewis Floyce as a beautiful castle after Antu Castle.

Most of Sakamoto Castle today sleeps at the bottom of Lake Biwako, and only a few stone walls are left to remind us of that time.

"As you know, we burned down the city of Sakamoto once and for all. It is therefore a state of strong townspeople rebellion and a little difficult to govern. So I thought I'd take a peek at Lord Shizuko's opinion."

"I wouldn't consider it. The ill feelings attributed to having your home burned will never go away no matter how much you try to sell your charm to them. As much as you spend your time doing that, it's more meaningful to build roads and improve living conditions a little bit."

Mitsuko eats a little at the harsh opinions he doesn't think of as Shizuko who cares about the people, but Shizuko continued his words without worrying.

"When I say this, I have no body or lid, but I take it from the people and it doesn't matter who is the ruler. They welcome 'rulers who protect their lives, give them a good future'. From that point of view, we burned down the city, and we're the destroyers of life, so I don't have a good impression."

No one has a good impression on the person who took the family fortune. There is a lot of dissatisfaction, naturally.

The city of Sakamoto, in particular, flourished as the gateman town of Nanjoji Temple, Mount Bee.

From a human being who was smoking sweet juice as a result of a spill leaking from the Yuenji Temple, the Oda family is a hateful opponent who took away their own rice seeds.

"Assuming this, I think it is a hand in which the flexibility of the powerful is well implemented. But I, for my part, treat all those in power and the poor equally as one individual and govern in the pursuit of the greatest possible number of happiness. At first, there will also be dissatisfaction. But out of those grievances, he said, 'What will make the most people happy?' It is my view that the voice of dissatisfaction will gradually dwindle if we think about it and implement policies. That doesn't mean you can ignore and oppress a minority, but the ideal is for everyone to be happy."

Maximum happiness for all. But as long as God is immortal, it's impossible. Man and man are creatures that collide in trivial matters. Achieving maximum happiness for all is unlikely.

Therefore, the ideal is defined as happiness for all and realistically achieves the maximum number of happiness. Shizuko thought this might be the best (...) policy that could be taken at present.

……

Kwang-soo gives a look taken aback. He wasn't the only one, so were the ministers of the Akechi family who were present.

I think I said something strange, and I look back at what I said. What I said was close to the idea of democracy. I understood that speaking of democracy in this era would not yield endorsement.

Because people think differently. This is true of democracy, but such ideas do not come out pompous. Because society begins to ask for it, ideas arise.

If we apply it even though people who live in society don't want it, people just get confused and society falls into dysfunction.

"Oh, no, you're under the influence of a Nanban book I read a while ago, I'm sorry. I'll whiten my head and rethink it from scratch"

"Oh, oh..."

Shizuko misled the story by hastily arranging excuses. Fortunately, Kwang-soo remained as dismayed as he had been earlier as if his understanding had not caught up.

"Sakamoto, so how about we still build a port on Lake Biwako? Water transport, of course, and the landscape of Sakamoto has wonderful things to offer. I also run a tourist boat or something that can enjoy this landscape...... I think if money falls on Sakamoto that way, the grievances will gradually disappear. Well, this is how Lake Biwako is shaped… how does the route feel to connect here and here?"

Along the way, she brings paper and a brush, and Shizuko draws the shape of Lake Biwa on the paper. On top of that, I wrote Sakamoto, Otsu, Yasushi, Nagahama, etc. and circled them, and tied them together with a line.

Pass the paper that wrote the route in simplicity to Kwong Soo. You settled in while reading, he was watching carefully the proposed route of Lake Biwa drawn by Shizuko.

"I see. With the harbor, the city overflows with people and things. When people and things gather, business begins, and when business flourishes, people are enlivened. If people are enlivened, there will be more money falling into Sakamoto, and the dissatisfaction will gradually decrease."

"Yeah, yeah... it'll take a little while... oh, speaking of which, we might be able to convert that to a merchant ship on Biwako, a medium-sized transport ship that's been turned into a failure"

"Well, that's an interesting story."

What Shizuko calls a failed medium transport ship is a screw propeller transport ship. No matter, it's not a Japanese ship, it's a ship with a dragon bone.

Although the built ship was used several times, it was underrated as being too large for use in rivers and too small for use at sea.

Therefore, I was branded a failure. Shizuko thought that if the transporter was to be used in Lake Biwako as well, it would look into the eyes of the day.

Fortunately, even though I heard it was a failure, Kwang-soo was willing to get on with the story of hiring a transport ship.

By the time Hua blossomed with stories about Lake Biwa, the ideas of democracy spoken by Shizuko had disappeared from his mind, as had Mitsu-su and Mitsu-su's ministers.

He was Shizuko, who shouted his inner pleasure at the matter. However, Shizuko didn't realize that Mitsuko and the others had become less affected by the book she was reading.

The day ended with a fun story, and I didn't go. Shortly before the sun set, Nobunaga's messenger came to the formation of Kwang-soo. The content was not against Mitsuko, but against Shizuko. Come to the main unit, in short, is.

Shizuko moved hastily after receiving the call's report. When he finishes eating to pour in the meal, he checks the work status of the soldiers, arrows the rest of the work instructions and gives them out early.

"Sorry for the rush"

"No, of what. It was a fun time. Also, if you get a chance."

Shizuko apologizes to Kwang-soo for coming to see me off, but I couldn't see how he cared from Kwang-soo himself. When he lowers his chest, Shizuko grips the reins.

"Then I beg your pardon. If you need anything, please ask the soldiers you left behind. The person in charge will answer. Bye!"

At the same time as I finish saying it, Shizuko runs the horse. Mitsuko was smiling bitterly at Shizuko as she rushed away, but she couldn't even afford to notice that now.

The sun is already setting. As it is, it will be night before we reach the main unit. That was a static child I wanted to avoid at all costs.

Fortunately, we arrived at the main unit at what could be termed a critical sunset, thanks to the terrible use of the horse.

"Slow"

But from Nobunaga, the most open-minded, dissatisfied voice flew in. Shizuko apologizes to Nobunaga, wondering if there was so much to rush.

"Look at this."

Nobunaga points to a map placed spread out in front of a simple desk. As I was told, Shizuko looks at the map. Unlike Hideyoshi's, there was detailed information on the map, such as the formation status of enemy allies.

In other words, it may be said that both Asai and Asakura factions have deep penetration of the tuning hand. Otherwise, we won't be able to get enemy information in more detail.

"(Asakura pushed off the surrounding opposition and decided to make this appearance. If so, it is natural that clans and ministers who are averse to the landscape will almost win the Nobunaga tune."

"Tell me why."

I wonder if what I told Hideyoshi also reached Nobunaga's ear, while Shizuko points to a point with a map.

"Once the offense of Fort Yakito is complete, the rest will be only Castle Daigo. Asai and Asakura will now be packed. Asakura came out this time pushing out the opposite of the surrounding area. If the castle falls, we lose the name of the man who rushed to reinforcements."

"Go on."

"If the castle falls, the upset will spread to the Asakura army and the voice of withdrawal will be louder. You won't even be able to defy the landscape on this. But for the Asakura army to withdraw, it will be necessary to go through an elongated mountain path, from the main unit to Tsuruga. I mean, in a straight line, you force a long march. After that... spear your ass and you're done."

"Based on that, what would you do?"

It was still unclear what Nobunaga was thinking, but Shizuko told Nobunaga, as he was told, 'This is what I would do'.

It's not what I say out loud to the boulder, so I narrowed it down to the sound of Nobunaga.

"Interesting. It depends on the weather, but don't let them through. Damn, but this is a boulder surprise."

"I think 'No way' is the key when it comes to measures. Besides, our army has an ideal person for this kind of measure."

"Pleasant. The attack on Fort Yakitai will be over tomorrow. Whatever you say, Sal is desperate to work out a plan."

After all, Nobunaga knew with some hand what Shizuko told Hideyoshi. If so, Shizuko thought that he knew what he had told Mitsu-su.

However, Nobunaga never asked me about the root digging leaf digging because of Sakamoto.

"I'll be busy tomorrow"

Nobunaga said in a heartfelt pleasure.
