Inari wants to live in peace
Episode 30 Shiro Amakusa (4) Stay of Execution
Please have mercy on me, my lord and my ministers, who have completed the process of understanding the current situation during the visit to Shimabara Castle!And I've sat down many times.
Because of this, I exhale a big sigh in reality.
"Hah... I think sinners should pay for their sins through justice."
"Oh, no!"
The expression of Mr. Matsukura and the family dyed with despair, but I didn't care, I repeat the words even more.
"But the ancestors have already died, and the House of Ministers has been dismantled.
And rebuilding the rough, rough Shimabara clan will be extremely difficult. "
At first, he ruled properly without discrimination because he was Christian.The reputation of the people was also good.
However, as I get older, my dementia has progressed, and I get a lot softer.
From what I've heard, I didn't feel that way, and it seems that it's for my son to succeed.
And now that he was dead, it was impossible to make the dead pay for their sins.
However, he silently refused to report it to the Shogun and tried to solve the situation with the Shimabara clan alone.
As a result, this action further accelerated the devastation and deterioration of relations with the people.
That said, even if the center were to come out whenever a problem occurs in the region, it would impose a great burden on the Edo Shogun.
After all, there are a lot of other tasks to clean up, and it takes too long to resolve them while communicating with the Shimahara clan in Kyushu.
So it is true that they did, but whether or not to leave the issue of the Shimabara clan to the Shogun.The criterion for judgment is gabarbarbara.
But now it's a later festival, but it was a personal subjectivity that I wanted you to talk to before things got worse.
Furthermore, the Inari god, the supreme ruler of Japan, is not compatible with Christianity.
Due to the softness of the ancient Shimabara clan lords, the residents were planted with a bad image of the powerful.
Now that their heads are bloody and showing their readiness for a thorough resistance, there's no way they're going to listen to us properly.
If we want to put it on the negotiating table, we'll have to make a big concession first.
At that time, as a matter of course, the Edo Shogunate will provide subsidies for the restoration and wipe the buttocks.
Personally, I didn't want to pay a penny for the failure of local management, and I didn't want to impose an extra burden on central officials.
So I was allowed to say honestly what I had just come up with without fear.
"I will tell you about your treatment.
Let the Shimabara clan's elders and their ministers be granted a suspended sentence. "
Though I have said it clearly, Daimyo and the ministers are all tilting their necks to say that they are not familiar with it in this era.
Mr. Matsukura raised his hand and asked questions.
"Um, hey, what is probation?"
Although probation is commonly used in the future, it is not widespread in the Edo period, and I will explain it as easily as possible.
"It is a system that suspends the execution of sentences for a certain period of time, and acquits them depending on their work in the meantime.
Well, this is probably the first time I've actually used it, but... maybe. "
It may be a little different, but leave the details aside, so long as they understand.
And I don't know when this system came to be used in an official setting, but I don't care, so I'll move on to the next explanation.
"Specifically, to restore the Shimabara clan within five years and remove the anger and dissatisfaction of the people.
Then I will acquit you all. "
"Is it true!?"
I don't want to imitate a judge and impose a stay of execution, but I am the supreme ruler of Japan.
Now that you know the current status of the Shimabara clan, you can't pretend not to see it. If you don't do something about it, trust will be shaken and the whole of Japan will be greatly disturbed.
"This is just one example. The conditions for a stay of execution must be strictly determined in consultation with the Edo Shogun."
But, well, even if they win the acquittal, they'll have a priori retell.
Therefore, surveillance will naturally follow, and you will continue to make amends to your people for the rest of your life.
But it's still warm just because there's no death penalty and no island exile.
I finally breathed relief as I watched Matsukura-san, who was now very happy with my minister, and said that if the two sides came to the negotiating table, it would somehow fit roundly.
From now on, the samurai class of the Shimabara clan promised to change their minds and do their best for the people.
After this, I will discuss with the Edo Shogunate to strictly establish the terms of the suspension of execution and have them sign the contract, but I plan to say that I will add a little effort.
It was up to the rulers of the Shimabara clan to do it, so honestly, I still couldn't read what would happen next.
That being the case, I left the aftertreatment to the good kids and finally started acting to achieve their original purpose.
Originally, I came to see with my own eyes whether the Son of God was real or not.
We can't go home until we've finished it.
Therefore, I will accompany the guides who were appointed by the Shimabara clan, along with other children, on the forgotten dogsleigh sent by craftsmen from all over the country for generations.
The origins of Shiro Amakusa are not clear.
Excellent education, charisma, walking on the sea, and treating blind girls.
Anyway, it was amazing.
I can clearly see that I am not the only one who acts on the spot, deceives the people with the knowledge of the future in the name of God's miracle, and offers an alternative to suffering.
At least the faithful Christians of the Shimabara clan believe wholeheartedly, and the credibility of the rumors seems to be high.
But I still can't decide whether or not to act as a saint until I see it with my eyes, so I still have half expectations and half anxiety.
Now, I was just running down the street towards the port town where Shiro Amakusa, who had just been identified this morning, was said to live.
