Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

The emperor was furious.Needless to say, the cause was the occupation of Ishiyama Honganji Temple by Honganji Buddhists.This time, the Imperial Court is acting as an intermediary in the reconciliation between the Oda family and Honganji Temple.

Having deep intransigence with each other, they put an end to the long struggle between the two major factions.It was also a great opportunity to show the leading figures in Japan that the authority of the court in charge of mediation was unwavering.

Therefore, the case brought to this point by Church Rushu is an unforgivable outrage that returns all previous meals to nothing.

As a religious example, while mastering the Honganji Temple, it will be an act of spitting on the imperial court with harmony, selling fights from the front to Nobunaga.

Emperor Masatomachi (Ogimachi), the emperor of the Emperor (Kinji), has given the temple a mongeki (the high temple), and it was as humiliating as a dog biting his hand that the church pulled a bow to the court.

Therefore, the emperor raised his anger so much that his fierce complexion turned red and looked blue.

"I don't want to see you anymore. The rest of us will lead the army against the rebels!"

If the Emperor leads the army directly, it will be a parent conquest, and it will be a magnificent feat where losing is unacceptable.The Imperial Army cannot expect that much strength.

Understanding such nostalgia, the Imperial Emperor was desperately held hostage by the Imperial Palace and the public.

"Dear Sue, the Emperor is very angry, and I am grateful to Kintetsu for his dedication."

As for the state of the emperor, I naturally knew about it.The Duke (chief executives of the Imperial Court) and the others are terrified of the emperor's state of affairs, and there is a great deal of opportunism to fear from snakes.

If you become a parent, you will incur huge war costs.Although there are fewer public houses that are poor in everyday life, it is a situation where we do our best to run events and politics without delay.

Defeat is absolutely unacceptable, and there is no way you can raise war expenses that would not otherwise be profitable if you won.

Therefore, the dukes wondered whether the Oda family could not be moved, and today they were still a long time ago.

However, even though it is a family headed by the Five Regents, there is nothing in line with economic power, and even power is entrusted to the highest rank of the public house called Kansai, some people think it is not interesting that the voice of the previous years will increase, but there is a conflict that the insignificant sleeves cannot be shaken.

"The Emperor's thoughts are surely intriguing, but we have won too much with the government army."

"This is difficult for Oda to forgive, right?Therefore, why don't you come to Oda Hall with Kinte-sama's mouth? "

"You will be angry with Mr Oda, but I can't move to consider the imperial court.If you push it and ask for it, you will still be slandered that the imperial court has no previous prestige. "

"If you can still abandon your parental enlistment....."

"And this is information from my brother-in-law, but there seems to be a leap of insanity in this case."

"Wow! If it's more than Oda's kaiseki and his famous son's newspaper, I'm sure it is."

At the beginning of the incident, Nobunaga and a long time ago were violently involved in religious violence.However, I feel uncomfortable with the behavior of the church as my head cools down.After discarding the advantages of not being held by Church Ru, it is very important that Ishiyama Honganji temple, which has dismantled several defense equipment, is not suitable.

Furthermore, since this rapprochement is being conducted at the initiative of the Imperial Court, assuming the Oda family recovers Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the imperial court awaits the revocation of the monument temple and the future that can be attacked from all over Japan as a Korean enemy.

Despite the fact that there was no future, the imperial court deputies were confined and forced to recapture Honganji Temple.A long time before I thought that whatever cause there was in Christianity would not justify his actions, I would lean my neck.

"Since Oda began to achieve harmony under the imperial court's leadership, he has attracted soldiers who have surrounded Honganji Temple.In other words, it should have been possible for the church to take possession at an earlier stage.I wonder why I woke up just before the delivery. "

Certainly, as Kintetsu pointed out, I don't know what the purpose of the church is.

Just as the imperial court intervened in harmony, Nobunaga ordered Sakuma and the others who surrounded Honganji to lower their troops.

This is because Nobunaga, the advantageous side, took the initiative to show concessions in response to the request of the Honganji side to face the imperial court.

When it comes to the Oda army, how it deploys a standing army, it is certainly not.There is a mix of people such as volunteers, a mix of conscripts, and team borrowers.

These people continue to consume food just by being there.As for the squad borrowers, there was no need to take care of them because they were a soldier of combat power, but Sakuma and the others were also distributing food to maintain discipline.

If we unblock the siege and lower our troops, we will be able to disband many of our personnel, which will save us a lot of money in maintaining our troops.

In other words, Nobunaga's life was a one-stone two-bird policy that yielded the result of selling favors to the court while avoiding their depletion.

After these movements, the Oda military side and Honganji side walked towards harmony with each other through the court.In its final phase, the current situation was that suddenly a takeover of Honganji Temple by Ru Taoism occurred.

"Either way, the response will change depending on how your deputy, dispatched from the imperial court, finds out and what kind of demands the church will make."

"I understand. Let's tell them we're going to wait and see what happens until something happens."

"I will comfort you about the emperor.The Messenger will tell everyone about it. "

The messenger sent by a public official belonging to the previous faction shows a reassuring expression.I didn't miss a moment's expression when I left.

Although the security of Kyoto has stabilized thanks to Nobunaga, the current state of public life is far from elegance.In particular, the life of the lower aristocracy, which makes up the majority of public houses, can be inferior to that of even the luxury farmers.

Still, nobility has the honour and duty of nobility, and it goes without saying that when the government forces are organized, it makes the harsh nostalgia even more persecutable.In other words, the Emperor's actions are only a disaster for them.

(At least from our faction, we don't have to betray them.)

It had been grasped from an early stage that this disturbance was being planned by people who did not want the unification of Nippon based on the Oda family.

Long before he was informed, he did not act to restrain it.

Because the plan itself was absurd and unlikely to materialize.Even if it succeeded, it would not have overshadowed the Oda family, and the benefits would not have been commensurate with the risk of the collapse of the clan party if exposed.

Therefore, a long time ago, I had decided that this plan itself was a trap for me assuming that it would leak.However, the plan was actually executed.

(Told the customer that the symptoms were bad even if it was hibernated.What does the mastermind think about the drop in this case?)

A long time ago, in the room where the messenger had left, I had a moment of thought.

Assuming the worst, I checked to see if my faction was already broken down, but found out their hands weren't that long.

A long time before I decided that it would not be necessary to be reluctant, I began to devise a strategy to put an iron hammer on the fool who caused trouble for his lust.

The imperial court was the only one who was obsessed with the religious rampage, and Nobunaga did not care.It is true that there is no such thing as religion in the first place.

"If the Emperor has a decree (the Emperor's decree), I won't think about it, but I don't need to go out without a request.The Imperial Court intervened, so we'll have to deal with it. "

Nobunaga, who had been asked by his generals to deal with the Church, replied in a troublesome manner.For him, the matter of Honganji Temple has already been over, and it is only a dream story such as the revival of Honganji Temple regardless of what the Church now does.

As a result of the struggle with Nobunaga, the Honganji Gates are now not as united as they used to be.On the contrary, they became divided into moderates who obeyed openness and integrity, and hardliners who were in tune with the thorough resistance that the Church chanted, and began to control each other.

This was an assembly of separation work that had been secretly carried out by Nobunaga's hand since the rapprochement with Honganji rose to Sojo.In other words, they provided the moderates with supplies and financial assistance, including food, so that the hardliners were in relative distress.

These efforts created economic disparities among the Honganji monks who were supposed to unite, and the moderates who were born with plenty of room in their lives were filled with reluctance (frustration) to neglect the struggle, while the hardliners who were moaning about life hardship became more advanced in thought and took more radical action.

The hardliners, who have become prominent in extreme words and actions, have been excluded, and now only the hardliners who are dissatisfied with the status quo will respond when the Church says they want to fight against Shinanaga.

As the imperial court ran to tidy up the situation, Shizuko called out 46 who were cautious.

"It's time for the court to act.Has 46 been able to provide answers to my questions? "

Shizuko's task was to punish Shizuko on a daily basis for following the Uesugi family unrest without permission.Recently, the challenge was to come up with 46 answers on how to settle the matter that Church Ru had stood up against harmony.

It was a slightly difficult task, and contrary to the temptation of Shizuko, who thought it would be better if he could find directions even without answers, 46 accepted it with a grand attitude.

"As the end of this incident, I think it is inevitable that Christian death will be avoided.Nevertheless, I think it is a good idea to take the lead in attacking Honganji Temple.Even though we lost momentum, the Honganji disciples still count to 100,000.And the moderates who were positive for harmony prevailed in Honganji Temple, and if some extremists were to rise, they would not be immune to criticism. "

"Hmm, first of all, you have a good idea of the current situation.However, you have not shown any active involvement in Honganji Temple.Is there any basis for determining that genocide will occur uniformly? "

"I don't think the imperial court has the power to strike Honganji Temple today.And if you don't have the power, it makes sense to borrow it from somewhere.In other words, I thought that a decree would be issued to attack Honganji Temple, which had become an enemy in the morning. "

"I see, the eye area is good.But there seems to be a slight leap in logic.Perhaps, there will be no proclamation against you. "

"Will the government be organized in addition to being a party to the conflict?"

"The question is a deduction.You're asking questions before taking my opinion and leading your own thinking about it, right?Always keep this in mind, as you won't be able to get used to it without being aware of it.It's a corner, so let's think about it together, this case is a court-led rapprochement.Let's assume that after this is broken, we can't deal with it and rely on you.Who is the most disgraceful person in this situation? "

It was pointed out to Shizuko that 46 abandoned his thoughts and tried to jump to the answers that Shizuko would have.Even though I was wary of my own shallow thoughts, I desperately thought that I would not miss the opportunity for Shizuko to make things easy for me.

"In that case, the court will lose its position.If you can't punish someone who flipped the table despite being entrusted with harmony by both sides, the court will no longer be entitled to mediate the harmony. "

"Well done. The Master is a party, and from the imperial court he will be a troubled opponent.As a court of law, you should only want to avoid asking the court to take care of you. "

"However, it will be difficult even to attack Honganji temple with the actual force of the imperial court.Is it not enough for the Elves to revoke the gates and certify them as mornings enemies? "

"You've done a good job analyzing it.But in the end, we will rely on external forces to defeat the Asahi enemies, and the court will not be restored. "

Even so, Shizuko almost jumped to the answer, but he swallowed words and thought.He tried to sort out the situation once he had missed something in his head.

This harmony between the Oda family and Honganji Temple is not one of reciprocity.The relationship between Oda and Honganji Temple is already showing the state of the digestion match, and a lot of people have decided.

That's why Ken Ken, who owns Honganji Temple, asked the imperial court to mediate harmony in order to avoid negotiating harmony directly with the Oda family and establish favorable harmony conditions at all.

As a result of attempts to land softly from substantial unconditional surrender to conditional defeat via a third party during this time, the Oda family could not crush the court's face and made concessions.

By first withdrawing the concession from the Oda family, the next step was to make a concession to the Honganji temple side, and the imperial court was brilliantly putting together the conditions of harmony little by little.

The Honganji Temple has been disarmed, and the siege of Honganji has been lifted in exchange for handing over to the Oda family the stature of Honganji's leader, Akira and Toshioka.The only thing left was the exit from Honganji Temple, and the church that had not dazzled the disappearance appeared.

In order to attend the handover of Honganji Temple, the deputies of the Imperial Court who had confirmed their departure from Honganji Temple were detained, and a large number of monks and soldiers took over Honganji with their arms and military supplies brought from somewhere.

The deputy dispatched from the court will not be released, and his safety remains unknown.Shizuko pointed out that the deputy would be the accomplice who guided the religious example, and 46 were in agreement.

(Anything is too convenient.The expulsion of the Honganji monks had also begun when they handed over the honorable and trustworthy personality.In line with this, Kamimasa has asked Sakuma to lift the siege of Honganji Temple.As soon as the deputy officer entered Honganji Temple to confirm that the exit from Honganji Temple was proceeding without delay, an armed uprising occurred.Where did the huge amount of armor, supplies and many monks come from?It would be natural to see him mistakenly entering the line of royal deputies)

The disarmament of Honganji Temple was carried out at an early stage, and there were no weapons inside.Lilian persuaded the reluctant disciples to go around and dismantle the defenses of Honganji Temple to prepare for eviction.

It would be more advantageous to have defensive facilities such as moats and moats in cages, but it doesn't make sense because it is an armed uprising after they have been completed.

(As for the imperial court, the fact that the deputy dispatched with trust guided the rebellion is unacceptable.We have to solve it by ourselves, but we can't shake sleeves without them.If you read from your mother's words, you will use the power of the imperial court.....)

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn't have a clue about 46.The Imperial Court also has a guard force, but it is impossible to march on all of them without Kyoto's guards.Moreover, it is a defense force in the first place, and it has no training to invade the outside world.

In addition, the palace is extremely harsh.I hear that the main source of income, the villa, is less than 10% of what it used to be, and that it keeps a foolish life.

"I don't know. I've thought about it, but the Imperial Court's strength is not far from the name.Is there any power they can use? "

"It's dark under the lamp, isn't it? You're overlooking it too close.Does anyone in the public house have a military power comparable to that of the Oda family? "

"Ma... no way!?"

I came up with 46 after being told this.There is certainly one public man (...) with tremendous wealth, Oda's leading military elite, and great political influence.

"Hello, Mother? Certainly, my mother is a member of the Kintetsu family who is a customs broker...."

Famous Answer!

Shizuko stroked her hand and smiled as if the flowers were loose.

"I serve my superiors, so strictly speaking, it is not a public house.Still, from the court's point of view, he is part of a public house that has been given both a government position and a position.So there's only one thing they need to do to get me into the public domain somehow. "

"Isn't it impossible for a boulder?Mother is currently in charge of a military station that supports every aspect of your army from the rear.It's not a court that doesn't know what it means to drive your mother away. "

Shizuko is currently in charge of backward support for Nobunaga's East-West conquest operation.Although he was not involved in direct combat, he also had a military engineering role such as planning operations and plans.

Nobunaga seems to be matching everything on the outside, but in fact, there are many occasions when Shizuko is trying to make adjustments in each direction as Nobunaga's representative.This flow has accelerated since telecommunications became operational.

Traditional means such as the fast horse are also used together to counter sneakers, but in fact, Nobunaga and Shizuko are constantly communicating their opinions via telegraph.

If the fast horse that had been traveling around Oda territory suddenly disappeared, it would be tantamount to a rumor that there was something different about it.While knowing that this is futile, it has succeeded in disrupting enemy faction intelligence by maintaining traditional means of communication.

"The war situation in the West has calmed down, and there will be no movement for the time being regarding the Oriental Crusade.Would it take a week to get ready? "

"Can your mother drop the famous Honganji Temple in a week?"

"Well, the game is aquatic.Either way, there will be contact from the court against me.As a stepfather, it would be difficult to refuse to bridge with me if it were a formal request from the court. "

After hearing Shizuko's words, 46 understood.Shizuko said that there is already a mathematical stage that can solve the problem of the church in a week.Even if there is no settlement, there is a prospect that the path to settlement will surely pass.

46 chewed the meaning of what she always said: "We must settle before we begin."

It occurred to me that the spare attitude of Shizuko, backed by such preparations, supported a stable day like a calm lake surface without being driven by the impatience to withhold it from the people under his command.

(I have not reached my mother's feet yet.Even if I bet my life, I don't even know if I can catch up with him.But I still have to follow the back of the great mother.)

"If so, it won't be interesting for you."

"That's right. Whatever you say, I'm close to the center of the Oda family.Speaking of temporarily, I need to lend you some help, so you have to make some kind of profit.Perhaps you will make some sort of deal with the court, and then you will have to stand up to your stepfather. "

"I don't think there's any advantage in actually taking care of my mother....."

Shizuko smiled back at the words of 46 who had spoken unintentionally.

"Indeed, breaking bones in relation to a series of disturbances is not in my interest.But what happens after the disturbance is settled? "

"I see! After the dissolution of Honganji Temple, I need your help to rebuild Osaka (now Osaka).If you don't reward your men for their hard work, no one will show up to help the court in the future.However, as the court, there is no consideration payable to the mother.In other words, can you not only pay for harmony, but also give various interests in Osaka development? "

"Perhaps the land of Osaka will become Emperor."

"After becoming Emperor, the actual management will be entrusted to Kintetsu.However, since the Kintetsu family does not have any troops other than their mother, they ask the Oda family to emplace troops.The Imperial Court and Kintetsu receive higher taxes than the land of Osaka, and Honganji monks are allowed to believe and reside on the condition that they do not use force.By stationing troops, Kamisaka is essentially under control, and the revenues associated with various development rights come through his mother. "

"I wonder where you dropped it.On top of that, let's strike some stones for the future.It would be troublesome to rebuild the castle fort in that area, so we will carry out large-scale civil works to prevent them from being forgiven.I will hire the Gatekeepers of Honganji as the civil engineers. "

"Even a monk thrown out in his clothes can earn money and lay the foundation for his life.That will relieve Oda's dissatisfaction somewhat. "

"Because of the armed uprising of the Church, they will be chased away from where they live and will lose household goods that they cannot take out.However, it is a hassle to dismantle the good stuff anyway.It is also common for people to have unresolved problems if there is still something left.If I burn it down because of the church, will there be no harm? "

Four and six suddenly began to talk about scary things and felt fear in Shizuko.Hate will remain if you are deprived of your property, but if everything is burned down, you have no choice but to give up.

It would be a strange idea to fall in all directions if we exclude religious examples where sins can be attributed.

46 will see an unexpected side of the great mother in the state of Shizuko who brightens his eyes like a child who thought of mischief.

Natural tomorrow, huh?

"Yes, it can be used as a by-product of the technology we need to get out into the open ocean, but it seems to be convenient to use, so I used a handler to get it.It would be a waste to leave it behind, and it was difficult to dispose of it because it was not enough to lay a railroad for transporting supplies.I wonder if this is the ship we're going to cross? "

Although 46 could not understand many of the words that Shizuko had spoken suddenly, he struck a gavel while taking notes not to disturb the pleasant state of Shizuko.

By the end of the half-month period, which was the next period of drinking cessation in Keiko, the punishment of 46 had been lifted at the same time, and the two had returned to their daily routine as before.

May is over, early June.In a secret chamber unknown to Shizuko, who is a party, an agreement is made between the imperial court and Nobunaga.It was as Shizuko had expected with 46.

The imperial court made Jiujiu Kanbai the general commander of the government army, and organized the government army mainly with Shizuko's son, the son of the Kintetsu family.The Imperial Court did not publicly request Nobunaga's cooperation, but promised Nobunaga an award called a nuisance fee because it would essentially borrow Nobunaga's army.

Shizuko also wrote officially that she and her army would be rented for a limited period of one week because she is the general manager of the military station supporting each side of Nobunaga's army.

The court, an amateur, offered to extend it in a week, but Nobunaga withdrew because he was told that "if it took a week to mobilize Shizuko's direct troops, Honganji would not fall in the first place".

"Have you finally decided on a policy?It's about time you called me, and will you get rid of the Date house in the meantime? "

Nobunaga sent an ad hoc telegram, and Shizuko, who knew of the future plans, decided to meet with the Dai family's messenger, who was on hold.

The messengers from the Date family had arrived at Onari a long time ago, but because the matter of Honganji was urgent, they urged them to stay and postponed the visit.The messenger of the Top House hurried ahead throughout the night, so he was protected from being lost on the mountain road that deviated from the street in the territory of the Forest House in Kofi.

Kofi is still in a period of chaos, and those who deviate from the street and hide on the mountain path cannot abandon the possibility of interlocutors.Therefore, even messengers carrying secret books are detained, and their identities are to be kept until they can be traced back to the state.

The messenger of the Ashina family was captured by the servants of the Hojo family, and the existence of the secret book became brighter.Although there is no apparent movement at this time, it is certain that Hojo was suspicious of his name.

(I assume Mr. Maeda was the one who passed the information to Hojo no matter what, so I wonder if the plan is harmonious until now.)

Although there was a time difference in the transmission of information between Masayuki Maeda, who uses regular communication, and Nobunaga, who can use telegraphs from time to time, Shizuko thought that his guess would be correct.

If you are a messenger entrusted with a secret book, you are traveling with great care, so you do not commit such a snare as easy to catch.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to think of a situation where Nobunaga knows the information and is trapped by a short time ago, except for Shizuko's expectations.

(I wonder if Shizukuishi looks like Maeda-san or the Raccoon.The arm that caused discord to the Alliance by throwing away its name is a boulder, but it won't be honored publicly, so should I secretly give you a reward later?)

When I was thinking about this, it quickly became time to meet with the Messenger of the House of Date.The Messenger of the Date family who appeared in front of Shizuko was, as expected, Kishin Endo.

"This time, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Third Place Oharu (about Shizuko) for making your visit come true."

Kishin bowed his head deeply in front of Shizuko and expressed his gratitude in a respectful manner.The third place of Oharu is a title based on the official position given by Shizuko from the Imperial Court.

There was also a name for his position, Nagon Oharu, and Shizuko, widely known as Shizuko, was thought to be a pseudonym.

"Let's skip the tough greetings.Is it okay to assume that the Date family will withdraw their alliance with Hojo and give it to the Oda family? "

"Ha! If my lord keeps my best book, I'd like you to check it out."

Shizuko checked the parent book that Endo had given her through her surname and read through the contents.Without greetings and prefixes, it was written that the Date family was placed in a situation and that the Date family would obey the Oda family.

"Ok, I will tell you Dai-sama's intentions better than mine.I have permission to dispatch Sakuma-sama as reinforcements in a hurry, so I will make arrangements. "

Shizuko's expression is stiff in her words.However, he thanked him for lying flat so that he could not read his expression immediately.

The current situation in which the Date family is located is difficult in some cases, and the 11 counties ruled by the daimyo sect (Tanemene) at its peak are not under control.Now, I'm taking over the owner of the Soma family, Soma Shengyi, and his son Yoshiyu, and I'm carrying out an offensive and defense of retreating.

I joined the Hojo Alliance to bring them to a temporary truce.Though the Soma family is gaining momentum, they are not looking so far away as to bite the Date family that is connected to Hojo, the hegemon of Kanto, and they are in a state of antagonism even though they cannot give up their ambitions.

However, the situation in Tohoku reeked again because the Takeda family, which was said to be the strongest of the Sengoku, was attacked and destroyed in just a month, and Hojo, an alliance, was arching his hand.

As for the Date family, I am in a situation where I don't feel comfortable when Soma's parents and children will break the truce and invade.

That is why we needed reinforcements from the Oda family at all costs.We need to let the surroundings know that the Oda family is behind the Date family.Even if it is called a fox that borrows the power of a tiger, there is no other way for the weak to survive the turmoil of the weak.

"Once again, the top house will be swallowed together as a minister of the Date family, and you can do whatever you like about the Nanaka family," said the lord.

"Can you forgive me so much!?"

"Never mind, I am speaking on behalf of you.My words are the words of the master, and if you are worried, he will give you a letter of commitment. "

"I know it's impolite, but I'd like to ask you to give me a letter from Oda."

If asked whether it is necessary, it is certainly because if there is a document, it will remain in form.However, I wanted to know how influential Shizuko was in Nobunaga rather than in writing.

If you want to meet Nobunaga, it is Shizuko's reputation to say that trust is strong enough to make him say that he wishes through Shizuko as soon as possible.Kishin thought it would be a litmus test to guess whether it was true or not.

Endo said, my lord?

At the same time as Shizuko's words, the door was opened with momentum.His thoughts were bleached when he understood who opened the door to the sudden pleasure.

"I'm being tested on how powerful you are, not how much you need to write."

Beyond him was the Nobunaga who was pleased with the success of the pranks.
