Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

one thousand five hundred and seventy-seven years in early April

In late March, when the remaining snow also recovered from the melting streets, Tsuruga Port, which faces the Sea of Japan, appeared satisfied.

He wanted to lead the army into Echigo and go to Sado Island, but Echigo, who was trapped in the snow and had a disturbance in his house, is showing the appearance of insect poison.

Even though it was an alliance relationship, Shizuko told me that if the Oda family marched, they could create an extra clash, and Wakasakuni gathered in Tsuruga.

I am satisfied that I do not have any concern for the Uesugi family, but I am revising the plan because it is a request from Shizuko.

Though it was spring on the calendar (Komi), although it entered Wakasa, the waves in the Sea of Japan were still high and rough, so Satisfaction was stuck for a few days.

With each passing day, the mood of satisfaction becomes acceleratively worse, and the weather finally recovers when even the subordinates feel nervous (...).

Not to miss this plane, the satisfied men set sail from Tsuruga Port in a convoy. Shizuko, who is licensed to move freely within the Oda family's area of control, has set up a supply point just before Sawatari Island so that satisfied people can receive supplies.

When replenishment was carried out by accumulating replenishment supplies on the roundabout island located in the northern part of Ishikawa prefecture and sequentially stopping at the port where the flotilla was not allowed to dock at one time, it regrouped and landed from Mano Bay on Sado Island.

Well, Sado is a big island when it comes to outlying islands. Inside the island, Mr. Honma was divided into five clans and competed for each other's hegemony, a situation that resembled the epitome of the Sengoku era.

Since Sado Island is an island made up of gold and silver mountains, each clan makes a living by taking control of Kanayama. By this time, Mr. Sawata Honma, who was a ruler, weakened his forces, and instead a person called the homeland (Godjito) rose up.

That is, between Hamo Honma, who controls Nishi Mikawa Kanayama, Kuchi Honma, who owns Niho Niibo Kanayama, and Lagoon Honma, between Kawarada Honma and Sawane Hon, who seized Tsuruko Ginzan.

Among them were Kawaradamoto, which had the northern part of the island under its power, and Hanamoto, which bound the southern part. Among those who did not feel comfortable with this, Satisfaction flipped Sawabashi, who was conveniently located, into verbal skill.

And when the convoy with Oda's flag appeared in Mano Bay, located in the southwestern part of Sawajima, Mr. Sawane Honma, who was supposed to have lined up along the coast to intercept it, instead of engaging in a fight, his betrayal was revealed, and the whole island became like a beehive with signs of impending war.

Even if I said landing, it would take a reasonable amount of time to reach the size of the fleet, so some people moved to stop it. It was between Kawaradamoto and Kawarada Castle, which is so close.

They launch close to a hundred ships that were gathered together and troops from shore to intercept them. And I was smashed to pieces at the stage of saying if I could see the enemy or not.

In the first place, the observation accuracy and effective range of the weapon were too different, and each Mr. Honma shook and declined as if he saw a war situation that could not be talked about. He called for arbitration with the Miscellaneous Tamoto of the leader.

In this way, representatives of the clan were gathered at the call of Zata Honma, but Sawa-no-Ma, who saw the overwhelming strength of the Satisfaction Army and grew, played the "Fox to Borrow the Tiger's Power".

He said, no matter how strong it is in the main room, it is stupid that it is a frog in the well, and it is unbeatable. Open-minded and visionary, I first realized it, and so I invited them in with my colon in mind.

Instead of bleeding in vain, it is a good idea to go down to the military gate while you promise to change the seal. I tried to come back from scratch in the new heavens and earth because I would do it myself.

The other Mr. Honma who heard this was naturally angry. As a general rule of my clan, I decided to resist thoroughly, and while inviting a disaster called an outbreak, I shamelessly said, "Be smart, too."

Negotiations will break down on the occasion of this statement, and Sado Island will be in a state of muddy civil war. I realized that Sawabashi had made a mistake from the recoil that had been suppressed at the bottom of Mr. Honma for a long time, but it was already too late. The gear of destiny circles and begins to roll Mr. Honma onto the path of destruction.

For the record, the modern Japanese Penal Code stipulates the crime of inducing an external illness. Attracting an alien is one of the national treasons of conspiring with foreign forces to use force against one's own country, and the penalty for this act of trafficking is only the death penalty.

Although there are still no adapted examples, there is no doubt that the imposition of the heaviest penalties in the abolished modern justice system of the federation is considered a serious crime that undermines the survival of the state.

Satisfaction in Sawatari Island is a rare external illness, and if you know what the consequences of inviting this into the island will be, you will become a mouthpiece with the opponents of the death penalty.

"We are the outsiders, and we have to settle between the two hands. If you don't take the lead, it won't start."

Satisfaction that destroyed the balance of Sado Island from its roots and plunged it into the vortex of war said so. Satisfaction from the rear Christian war and aid, but only the lead role must be Sawa-kun, Sawa-kun was to stand in the arrow.

In this way, the confrontational structure between Sawa-no-Mura and the remaining Mr. Honma was established, and Sawa-no-Mura was constantly crushed at the front line. At first, although I was the boss of Honma, the support of satisfaction was passive, and the loss of my own army would lead to mistrust.

The opposite satisfaction stayed behind if they were active, and even if they were upside down, they couldn't beat the satisfaction. Sawabashi chewed the umbilicus saying that he had mistaken the person he was working with.

Satisfaction demands that enemies not be allowed to surrender for a long time. It was said that there was not enough room to support prisoners in the building, but there was no exception to treating women, children and the elderly, and Sawabashi shook up for a while.

People cannot live without helping each other on islands that are separated by the sea. Therefore, there is a taboo against overdoing as an implicit understanding, even if we fight each other.

Even if you are a sniffer, the best part is that you said that you would help only during fires and funerals. And it was a matter that clearly contradicted the taboo to hold the next generation of women and children in their hands indiscriminately.

However, the game has already been thrown. If we can't get satisfactory cooperation, other Honma will not forgive Sawamoto anymore.

If you go to hell, if you go back to hell, Sawa-kun swallowed the desire for satisfaction. I finally didn't realize that this would be the last push to decide on the destruction of the entire Honma clan.

It was between Kawahara and Tamoto that the first casualty of the ethnic annihilation caused by satisfaction. Since the arbitration by Miscellaneous Tamoto broke down, each of them will be in the form of controlling the machine front before performing the support.

In anticipation of reinforcements from other Honma clans, Kawarada Motoma made a reasonable decision to build a cage in Kawarada Castle. However, if the opponent has a firepower that overwhelmingly exceeds their Defense, this method of warfare will not work.

The gates and walls were destroyed by artillery fire, and soldiers from Sawamoto fell into the avalanche from the punctured hole, and were chased away by new guns with a range and accuracy that exceeded their own.

Kawarada Castle fell instantly, and when the castle lord Sawamura Takatsuna realized that he could not resist, he set fire to the castle and cut himself. And all who were caught in this battle were executed, even the babies.

The outrageous acts were publicized by those who fled desperately and by the remainder of Mr. Honma's scorn, and Sawa Genma became a traitor to the Honma clan and became a vendetta for Dai Tin.

During the massacre at Kawarada Castle, Sagama Sagamasuke, the main protagonist of Sawa-no-Ma, ran out of hand with a one-way ticket to hell.

Next, Satisfaction caused Sawafune to attack Hamo Honma, which was the largest force in the southern part of the island. Although the soldiers in Sawa-no-Ma who stand on the front line and exchange blades directly are worn out, Hamo Castle also falls without resistance.

Takamochi Honma, known for the massacre at Kawarada Castle, along with his neighbor, extended to Akamo Castle, where his real brother was the castle lord. However, without putting aside the time, the chase was carried out, and Akanagi Castle fell into the castle.

At that time, the castle owner's family tried to take off the castle and escape to the sea by boat, but the boat was destroyed by a satisfactory hand that had moved the convoy in advance, and they were captured and executed by soldiers at Akanagawa Port.

When the two main forces of the Honma clan collapse, the remaining Honma clan offers to surrender one after the other. But they were never acceptable. They are pursued that they will not be allowed to surrender and that if they lose, they will be killed, even women and children. They will be transformed into dead soldiers.

The soldiers of Sawafune were gradually being cut off by enemies who were literally dying and resisting. Thus, the Lagoon Honma and Kuchi Honma were laid to rest, and Zata Honma and the castle lord's family were executed, resulting in the unification of Sado Island by Sawatoma.

At that time, Sawane Honma-suke, who was in command at the last moment, was killed by a stray bullet (...), and the 400 years of Honma-san's history without the winner was brought down.

In this way, the threat of external disease is an invasion by people with different cultures and values, and it becomes a disaster of Mizo. Satisfaction, a foreign disease that devastated Sado Island, succeeded Sado Island when it snorted boringly and ordered the remnants of the Oda family from the mainland to follow.

The location has changed, and a Yasuya boat is now entering Ozhang Port. Onari Port is one of the largest ports in Japan, and many large ships are docked and bustling due to its extensive port facilities.

As a result of the expansion of the port city connected to the port, it became a fan-shaped metropolis centered around the port. Many ships intersect here every day, accompanied by enormous amounts of money rolling into Shizuko's pocket.

From the Tohoku region in the north to Kyushu in the south, boats arrive and leave from various locations on the Pacific side. Originally, the port of Ogura was only a regional port linking the central and Tokai regions with Sakai.

However, as the forces of the Oda family expanded, the port facilities were enriched, and the tax rate was suppressed so as to be inversely proportionate, so it quickly rose to Japan's leading trading port.

Furthermore, with the enrichment of specialty items that only exist in Onari, it became known as Onari in the east against Sakai in the west across the Kii Peninsula.

Today, with the port facilities that were mechanized after industrialization was promoted, it can be said that it is the port with the best processing capacity in Japan. Since the opening of the port of Kobe, scheduled flights have also been opened, increasing the volume of distribution with Western countries.

This established route is connected by regular flights to both the Nagatsu and Shikoku Departments, which govern Shikoku. In the meantime, the Takenaka Hanbei and Kuroda Kanbei, who were on the deck of the ship moored by the spray rope, could not block the open mouth.

"Here, this is Ozhang Port... I thought even the Yasugi boat was huge, but how about a ship docked in this port! It makes me think that I visited the land of giants....."

Many of the ships moored at Ogura Port were paid off by the Kyuki Navy or released to civilians after being constructed on an experimental basis, and the outer ship was unusual in appearance, attracting their attention.

In addition, the giant's arm appears to be moving as a large power crane loads and unloads containers. The giant warehouse that swallowed the luggage carried out of the container carried by its arm was the mouth of a giant.

The port of Ogura was dominated by Shizuko Nobunaga, the largest resource concentration in eastern Japan at the forefront of Japan.

"Isn't it like a ghost? It is Shizuko who is essentially combining all of these. Nominally, it is under the direct supervision of Oda's youngster (Nobunaga), but it seems to be completely delegated."

"What....."

Hideo Hashiba, who had been talking to the captain of the Yasuyashi ship until then, told the official guard with his face. The government guard, overwhelmed by information coming in from his eyes, could not imagine how much wealth a port of this size would generate.

Those who hold them in one hand also nod that they will invest heavily in the development of Arima.

"It would be easier to understand if you thought that Shizuko, Mino, and Young Onori were in charge (referring to the rule of the president in general) of tailoring here."

"Are you a woman and entrusted with so much territory!?

"Shh, you're making a loud noise! If someone hears it, it becomes important. This is the place where Shizuko was raised in selflessness, so everyone in the people respects her."

"If the bloodthirsty sailors are here, they'll get ahead of their mouths."

Hideo advised the official guard who visited Onari for the first time. Shizuko herself is not concerned about her pussy as a matter of course unless she is publicly abused.

But believing in her makes it an unforgivable outrage. When a young sailor who does not actually look beyond openly criticizes Shizuko, there is an incident where he is beaten to the sea by the total departure of an older sailor.

This alone will be a joke, but it will be terrible to hear from those who live in the Chita Peninsula, saved from the depths of poverty by Aichi water.

For them, since Shizuko is a savior and a symbol of a bright future, the existence that contaminates it is eliminated by all means. In other words, the sun beats better and worse, the sun will never come true again.

"It's not bad to stand up like this, but first let's head to the inn and settle down. After that, let's eat and walk together."

"We didn't come to visit the mountain....."

The official guard tries to defend himself, but Hideo starts walking before he hears. Following this, Hanbei, who tapped his shoulder to encourage the sighing official guards, proceeded to the official guards.

But of the men who left their luggage in the inn and set out to the city, who was the most floating and dragging around all the guards?

The next day, everything he saw was new and exciting, and Shohei, who had fully enjoyed his vacation by pressing Hanbei to take care of his superiors, was heading to Shizuko Mansion with Hanbei who was clearly tired and unable to hide.

Upon arrival at Shizuko Mansion, the Hideo clan was urged to take a bath, and remained relaxed until Shizuko was ready. Initially it was a visit after noon, but the official guard said he wanted to see the famous Shizuko residence at a glance, so he asked if he could make the appointment.

Since Shizuko was at noon time, I thought we would have dinner together, but it was rejected by Satoshi. Until that point, the opponent mistakenly recognized me, and even the busy Shizuko wanted me to take my lunch at least slowly.

"Hmm! This will give you a good tea. You can smell the sweetness and the fragrance."

Although the official guard was not far from being nervous, Hanbei and Hideo, who knew Shizuko's people, sipped tea with their cheeks open.

Even so, Hanbei seemed to be concerned about how things were in the West, but Sukehiro was completely reopened. Hideo thought that he couldn't do anything while he was at Oori, but he should do what he could only do with Oori.

Even while doing so, it was about half an hour (about an hour) after Hideyoshi arrived, and Shizuko told me that he was ready.

The official guard, who was angry with him, stood up after a sip of tea, and his party was guided to the hall of sight.

Shizuko was already waiting in the hall, and the Hideyoshi clan lay down and raised their faces together, saying their greetings.

The official guard sitting diagonally behind Hideo saw Shizuko for the first time over Hideo's shoulders. The first impression I had was that it was small in addition to my thoughts.

In the world of the Sengoku, Shizuko belongs to the category of the eldest lady, but as a result of her achievements and anecdotes preceded her, there is a verse that everyone thinks of her as a big female masterpiece.

Because Shizuko was actually freed from farming work, she seems to have a gentle look and a slender, weak woman. Since she could not feel the dignity at first glance, such as that of a princess, the official guard leaned his neck to wonder whether she was really a volunteer.

But when I looked around calmly, I immediately understood that his doubts were out of the question. The men who serve her can see that they are full of hegemony and proud of their duties.

The position of being a princess of the Five Servitors and being Nobunaga's patronage does not increase morale. It was an expression because it served someone who was more respectable from the heart.

(I wonder if they are really intoxicated by Shizuko. It is easy to make allies only with interest, but a bond of affection is strong. Surely he is a terrible mercy.

Basically, subordination is done by interest. For he hath power from his master, that he may serve him by grace. Because he protects himself and his family, he puts his life at his disposal.

It is only natural for my husband to give profits to his subordinates, and if he is honoured by his subordinates through further virtue, the bond becomes even stronger. Because affectionate connections sometimes encourage behavior beyond the profit and loss account. It is difficult to do from the standpoint of a warlord who cannot be measured by profit or loss.

"Thank you for waiting. It's been a while, have you changed?

"Ha! Thanks to you, I'm spending the same time with my brother. I am not going to spend any more time in response to your sudden request. May I get to the point at once?

"Well, I guess there's nothing to talk about in the middle of it. The main topic is about Arima Development."

The official guard was dismayed that the word Arima came out of Shizuko's mouth. The more specific the place name is, the more my hands are cut off, but I am in a hurry to say that I am weak because I am on the side of asking for support.

On the other hand, Hideo was reopened with the usual things such as reading his heart to Shizuko, and he could even afford to follow "Shizuko, you are wise."

"As I said, I wanted to support Arima's development. Fortunately, the port of Kobe slipped out smoothly, but the nearby grinding and the city of Seizu were unappealing. I wonder if it's possible to use the hot springs that spring up in Arima."

After hearing Hideo's words, Shizuko agrees with Yu (more). In fact, Hideyoshi and the Hideyoshi brothers have repeatedly failed to govern Imahama (now Nagahama). There would have been a narrow view that only Imahama, the seating area, would have been good, and others would have been appropriate and good.

Based on the bitter experience so far, Hideyoshi believed that it was necessary to boost the economy by engaging in sowing mills and the whole area of Seizu. However, there is nothing that precedes the idea at all. Shizuko visited the development of Kobe Port at such an early stage, so she ate without a word or two.

If Shizuko were to operate as a harbor, there would be no way that brilliant merchants would leave behind. As Hideyoshi reads, Kobe Harbor is flourishing to the point where it was once a cold village. However, the entire territory is not rich in ports alone.

Kobe Port is a relay area connecting Kyushu and Sakai. If you want to continue to develop, you want it to become a specialty product in the area around the port and a scenic spot that makes you want to travel from afar. Shizuko's village was named after the hot springs at the beginning, and a white feather arrow was raised in Arima.

"I understand the situation. Arima certainly has a good hot spring, so if you develop it, it will be a good place to treat it."

Even Shizuko's development of Arima Onsen was attractive. Even today, Kansai Onsen is famous enough to be famous first, and even in historical reality Hideyoshi and Arima Onsen have a close relationship.

If it is as historical as it is, after the "Keinaga Fushimi Earthquake", which will strike Kinki for one yen in the near future, the overall hot spring temperature in Arima Onsen has risen, making it unsuitable for bathing.

Hideyoshi, who was saddened by this, has been carrying out major renovation work since the year after the earthquake, and has acquired the source of Arima Onsen. As a result, the temperature of the water has calmed down and some adjustments can be made.

Since then, Arima Onsen has not carried out construction on the source of springs until the present day. It is no exaggeration to say that Hideyoshi's decision supported the prosperity of Arima Onsen.

"Well, that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with it."

Shizuko had one issue of concern when developing Arima Onsen. Hanbei, who knows Hideyoshi's internal circumstances, listens to Shizuko's words and creates a difficult face, but the official guard who is not swallowing the situation leans his neck.

This would be the difference between those who have obeyed Hideyoshi from an early stage and who have enjoyed comfort together, and those who have been newly laid down due to the sowing invasion. Rather than Hideyoshi, it could also be said that Mr. Hachiba suffered from the accumulation of damage (long overlapping damage).

"I know what you're saying. The problem is not with horses, but with us."

After a bitter silence, Hanbei said the reason.
