Inari wants to live in peace

Episode 23 Treatment of Missionaries (7) Ronin

At the end of the fall of the Yongroku decade, there was information that samurai rank people were being dismissed and made difficult to find employment.

I also know the word Takayamashi as a miscellaneous school, but I'm sure life was so tough.

And now, a peaceful world without war.

It would be common for a bloody samurai to become an official or a master to eat.

Even if you open a swordsmanship dojo, it will be quite difficult to eat it alone.

But normally, big names don't want to waste money.

In other words, it is natural for samurai to experience mass dismissal and employment difficulties due to disarmament.

In the future, the number of Ronin will continue to increase, but in the era drama, such people were employed as vigilante sticks or called teachers to play an active role.

But personally, I wanted to avoid such a situation.

Because a Ronin who was allowed to strip swords in the whole town was wandering around, and it even happened.

In that case, there is a high probability of injury or death.

In entertainment works, it may evolve from there to a cheerful situation, but if it happens in reality, there is still so much insecurity.

Therefore, as the supreme ruler of Japan, the anticipated mass outbreak of Ronin in the future was a project that should be prevented by any hand.

Time passed and it was the winter of the Ten Years of Everlasting Lock, and I gathered officials from all over the place as usual during my visit to Inari Taisha Shrine.

And I sat on a tall tatami mat and drank green tea, and I proudly declared to everyone.

"The Edo Shogunate employs all the samurai in their ranks."

"Inari God, what does that mean?"

One of the officials asked, and I said the answers I had thought about beforehand.

It's a smooth response because I just sprung my missing head around.

"The Ronin will henceforth be the Self-Defense Forces to protect Japan.

With the hostages of Daimyo in Edo, there will be less rebellion in the region. "

I don't ask for hostages, but they send them on their own, so even if I use them, I can't complain.

But this is a show bill.

If I actually try to slit my neck or stomach, I will be forced to stop even with an instant punch.

They work for Inari Taisha Shrine, and usually send them home to their parents in Bon and New Year.

The hostages' expressions were very bright when they found their work rewarding.

"Surely that would be less rebellious, but would that work?"

After all, all the officials seem to be half-hearted and suspicious.

I'm not a hostage anymore, am I? I'm a local wage-earner. I think so.

Even though some samurai envy the Edo residence, which is the knee of Inari god, there are few people who feel pity.

Somehow the effect as a deterrent seems to be thin, but I thought it was better than not.

Still, after the calm allegations of the officials, I reconsidered whether the current proposal was impossible.

I thought I could get through this now, but in the end, as usual, plan B would be improvised on the spot.

I think for a while, roaring small and poopy.

Afterwards, it suddenly switched topics as if there had been no previous remarks.

"The world of samurai is over, but some will not be able to accept it."

Destroy Plan A, which uses hostages, and tell them that B is important.

However, what came to mind was, in the end, the usual brain muscle gorilla.

"Gather as many samurai as you can to Inari Taisha Shrine as you can to become a Ronin.

I will persuade you directly. "

I only know this hand, so I leave it to my emotions to act on the spot.

After all, I can't come up with a clumsy plan when I think about something with a lack of head.

Even if you fail to persuade them, it's good to get closer and closer to a peaceful life, step by step.

So now I was rushing to reach out to all of Japan, hoping for a successful shot.

Time has passed, and the winter of the Yongroku decade has not changed, but the morning and evening have become quite chilly.That's what happened one day.

Many samurai gathered from all over Japan at Inari Taisha Shrine in Edo.

They were laid off by their former employers, or in Taipei they could not see the significance of the battle and quit their jobs.

It is a group of people who have become Ronin for a variety of reasons, such as finding no other employment.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm either a no-fly junior samurai or a bloody fighter specializing in combat.

It's still a big boomerang, but I don't want to think about it.

However, I had to explain the future treatment to them, but I was a little nervous.

Fortunately, even in the event of a big boom, we can suppress it forcefully by force.

It might be better for your brain muscle opponents to exercise their abilities and listen to what they say without being corrupt.

But no matter how barbaric I think like them, the contents are ordinary women.

If possible, violence is a last resort, and I want you to start by listening to me.

Sometimes this happens, and I go on the special stage of Inari Taisha Shrine with a small exhalation.

Then, after a deep and loud breath, he spoke to a large number of samurai with a passing voice.

"As you all know, Japan will be a world of war-free Taipei."

Clearly told by the mouth of the supreme ruler, the expression of those gathered under the stage cast a shadow and shouted.

If there is no war, there will be no opportunity for them to be active.

In other words, of course, there is no way to hope for an officer or a birth, and there is a possibility that poor Ronin life will last until they die.

But it's their early start, and my story is not over yet.

"But only Japan became peaceful.

In fact, the foreigners are listening to each other to keep us under control. "

It is said that Japan has been at peace for 300 years since the Edo period, but compared to that, there is an image that foreign countries are constantly at war.

"Therefore, you will now be assigned to my immediate militia.

The role is to maintain security throughout Japan and to repel threats from foreign countries.

It is truly the only defense force. "

To be precise, it is the Edo Shogun's jurisdiction, but the supreme ruler is himself.So there will be no big difference.

It is troublesome to explain things around here, and the sound of God's army tickles my manhood.

You can create a situation that is a little more acceptable to them now and withdraw it later.

So let's move on to the next one.

"You will not be given land or territory, but you will be paid money or goods once a month.

They will also train with the latest weapons, which will pave the way for the best grades. "

I feel like I'm also doing a briefing on a new business.

I have never actually done it, but since I create a mechanism that is not yet available in the Sengoku era, it would be right to approach it.

Fortunately, all the samurai gathered listened with serious expressions, and so far there has been no disagreement.

I am not doing anything bad because I take care of people who get rashes from the clan as places of employment.Rather, it can be described as a remedy.

"In the meantime, we will set up garrisons in each clan.

We will then take a test to measure each suitability, discuss it, and then determine the rank within the Self-Defense Forces. "

It's like a militia garrison, where you can train day and night just in case.

But if you don't take a brief aptitude test before that and establish some chain of command, you won't be able to move in case of an emergency.

But as I thought about it now, it was really good that the samurai population was small.

In addition, I picked up the surplus after the clan first adopted it, so the burden on the shogunate was light and above all important.

However, since the era of peace will continue for the next three hundred years or so, the main place of activity is not a threat from various foreign countries, but it is likely to be a disaster or marine disaster rescue.

There may still be small-scale battles such as bandits, bandits, and thugs, but there are chasers around.

Here I remembered that it was sudden.

We must make it clear that we do not serve the clan.So I throw words at them with a grandiose attitude.

"The future samurai will not serve you, my lord, the Shogun, or me.

To be clear, it's Japan itself. "

The concept of a defense force or a militia.

Instead of a small bracket called a clan, Japan will move forward together in the future.

The chain of command belongs to me, General Kaisei, but it is only before the building, and it is based on the protection of the Japanese people.

I will continue to explain that this is the true role of the militia.

"You are shields that protect the powerless.And a sword to defeat the outer enemy.

It is also our only hope of putting an end to the crisis in the diaspora.

Let's all carve it into our hearts! "

That's how I finished my persuasion, shut my mouth quietly.

Then turn your back and exit the special stage to enter Inari Taisha's main shrine.

The momentum on the spot made the real talk incandescent, but fortunately there was no disagreement.

In my heart, I was quite shocked that a bloody samurai might cause a brawl.

After explaining, as I walked down the corridor of Inari Taisha Shrine to go home, an official of the Shogun approached me and asked me something.

"Inari God, can we name the group of samurai who are staying in the garrison?"

Speaking of which, I declared the place a militia, but it's just a pseudonym.

It is an army that does not exist in the Edo period in the first place, so if you have a different name, you can call it whatever you like.

"Tentative, but we call it the militia.But if you have any other suitable names, please adopt them. "

"It's as declared. I understand."

The Defence Forces and the EDF are fine, but the term militia was more familiar to me personally.

However, in the present era, the samurai who swings his sword is the main character, not the soldier who handles firearms and weapons.Then there should be a more appropriate name, and the site manager will adopt you.

If the militia were to be recruited, anything would be ahead of the times.

I finally took a break from my shoulders and walked slowly towards my home in the back of the woods, thinking that such a thing would not happen.
