Nobunaga's Bastard

Episode 70: From Iga to Ishiyama

When it came to building a castle in Maruyama Castle, there was no special way to take it like a castle in Mutamata overnight. Iga Koga's sneakers, the people, or those called "the", were all looking north, and they didn't even realize that we had broken into Iga again at the stage when Ancient Moon entered Maruyama due to the guidelines of Baidi Tampa.

For two weeks, castle construction was carried out in the mountains. No one was hired for manpower and feet, as if the bandits were building hidden fortifications. Upon feeling, though it was Masako Nanki, who also stood in a cage at Akasaka Castle.

At first, heavenly guards were erected at the highest point of the mountain. Of course, it was a substitute for being laughed at if you called it Heavenly Guard or something. But I think it was heavenly to be placed at the top of the mountain and further centered in Honmaru.

A stone wall was set up around it, with a curved wheel, until in the middle of July, six hundred soldiers could fight in cages. At that stage, I was able to hire residents living in the surrounding villages to help spread the word. Those gathered were the ones Yasuke let go of in the last battle. They also just helped build the castle a month ago and the move was extraordinarily good compared to the last one.

The Igas realized I was building the castle again. Baidi family, who expressed that they had largely become ministers of the Murai family. Baidi Tampa took about 300 members of the Clan Brotherhood Party to help spread the word, and made a recommendation to all of the Iga crowd Koga to surrender. If it is now, the territory can be preserved.

In August, the Igas withdrew from the battle against the Hanzai Squad. I took it back and went for Maruyama Castle. By then, Maruyama Castle had been a castle at one end with large and small flatlands, using ridges to the west, south and north and hilly slopes and other terrain. Around the main circle, the territory was carried out with a strong sense of defense, and the curved wheels, large and small, had already exceeded ten. Particularly on the south side, a belt curved wheel consisting of two steps was provided. The three remaining parties had rivers running, and at this stage, as far as I was concerned, I was confident that with 600 ancient crossings and 300 hundred soldiers, I would be able to fight enough caged castles against about four thousand enemies.

Enemy soldier, 2,000.

On August 3rd, when Shiro reported to me, I realized that a lot of people had already made up their minds. Like last time, there was still a possibility of the fall of Maruyama Castle if all the Iga people did everything they could without worrying about it. Even in that case, I had a chance. But if it's two thousand, you don't even have to hit your hand the earliest.

"Who didn't surround you?

I heard about those who did not follow it, not those who tried to surround Maruyama. Only two thousand were gathered, which means that either of them refused to call the soldiers.

"The Baidi family and all the southern Iga people and ninjas who follow them have refused to send troops and have pledged their allegiance to the Lord. I can't even see the Ninja Chikaji Hattori family."

Then, naturally, the Admiral is Nagato Fujiyashi, headed by Ninja Mikami. There doesn't seem to be any more people here than I thought.

"Okay. Grant postwar rewards to Baidi Tampa. I can't give you territory, but let's buy it with money and things. This is not a salary to pay as an employer. A reward as the Lord. This time, those who refused to send troops in response to the request of the Baidi family were allowed to serve the Oda family, and received relief."

I told Shiro and made a letter on the spot. Because I do not know the people other than the Baidi family well, I will make a pen according to the thoughts of Baidi Tampa. Shiro seemed satisfied and bowed his head as if he was stunned.

This Shiro, a disciple of Baidi Tampa and a handyman, had a slightly different perception. Of course I am not wrong in my perception of being a disciple and a handyman, but I am a belly heart, a right arm, and one younger disciple. It's like Shinguang's father-in-law for my father. In the last battle, it was also this Shiro's discretion to set up a flag and carry out a false soldier's plot, which is acknowledged.

"I will reward you sooner or later"

I told Shiro that when he left, he seemed somewhat surprised.

On the same day I sent a letter against Baidi Tampa, I also sent a letter to the other Igas. Against Nagato Fujibayashi, if you surrender now, you will forgive only with confiscation of your possession. Surrender now to Hattori and others who have not surrounded the castle and have not allied themselves with the Oda family, and the occupation will be relieved. It was a lofty letter that was not likely to be written by the surrounding party, but it had an effect. No more attacks from enemy soldiers surrounding Maruyama. Even the hardliners against the Oda family are like this. Iga's wrap-up is already equal to none.

Then two days later, the soldiers of Fujiyashi Nagato and others surrounding Maruyama pulled up. There are two reasons. One is because three thousand troops of the Ise Kitai family, who received a request from me, showed up at the Iga border. The Admirals are Ichian Tsuda and Yuri Takikawa. Ichian Tsuda is Ichimen Oda, and Yuri Takikawa is from the Ise people, both of whom are Misuke's chief ministers.

Another reason is the defeat of the Koga crowd. There's no way the feathers will rest because the Igas have retreated. He stepped up the Ningro offensive and defeated a reduced number of enemy troops.

Seeing this situation, the Chigaji Hattori family and the Iga people who followed it accepted the surrender and came to Maruyama Castle with the hostages. I said that it was not a "surrender now" at the time I wrote the letter and that I would confiscate the territory, which Baidi Tampa stopped and temporarily shelved for the possession of Hattori and others. The next day, I ordered the Hattori family to spread Maruyama Castle and improve the streets. Naturally, the cost is taken out by the Hattori family. The possession will be relieved, but Hattori's warehouse will be empty for a while.

Nagato Fujiyashi and one of his parties escaped Iga, understanding that he could not even resist the earliest, and fled to Ishiyama with Yoshihito Hexagon and Yoshiji, who also escaped from Koga. I took over the old territory of Fujiyashi and the others who fled without pursuing them, and Iga became the territory of the Oda family. Except for the Baidi family and those who followed it, he ordered the Iga people to spread Maruyama Castle and improve the streets. The streets were also made to Omi Road and Ise Road. The road width is wide, so that even if the horses are different, there is still room. Once completed, it will not be so easy to protect Iga even if he marches again at the earliest opportunity.

As for the prevalence of Maruyama Castle, my father commanded me to create three layers of heavenly guardianship and perform a magnificent mantra. Of course there are reasons why it is necessary to comfort people, including Iga Ninja, but they also intend to use it as a pressure on Ishiyama Honjinji Temple and Takano Mountain. Funds were assisted by the Oda main house and the Kitami family, and the architecture was done at a faster rate than I thought.

The rooftop was four feet (about 12 m) square in size between the six rooms, plus a stage-low square strut to the south and north. A stone wall was built on the slope of the ceiling, and even then the ceiling was completed. The main circle wearing its temple was built on a distorted flat land of about thirty-three (about 59.4 m) between east and west widths and about thirty-nine (about 70.2 m) between north and south widths. It was in the western part of the castle that Tenmeiku was built. Around the main circle, a belt curved wheel with a high and low difference of about two and a half minutes (about 4.5 m) circled, and the aforementioned southern belt curved wheel was also greatly enhanced. The entrance to and exit from the main circle, the tiger mouth, was on the east side, surrounded by two earth bases and a samurai concealment defended by Yokobori, which refracted the intrusion route everywhere so that the lateral arrows could work. There is also a tiger mouth on the north side of the main circle, which is like a back door. Ahead, a large, horse-shaped curved wheel consisting of a moat cut and a dirt bridge was created, and further north, a small curved wheel and a truly iron wall formed by the main circle.

To the west of the main circle he made two circles, and to the south he made three circles, and the mountain road there could be a path worthy of calling ninety-nine folds. In addition, two castles were built on the opposite bank of the River Bizi. The castle on the west side was named Maeda Zao Man Castle, the castle owner was named Maeda Riku, and the castle on the east side was named Omiya Nobujo Castle, and the castle owner was named Omiya Jinglian. The two circles were Baidi Maru and Sanomaru Furuda Maru. Jiawei must also be the head of the family and the castle. When I asked him if he wanted to turn Honmaru into Matsushita Maru for a try, he laughed a lot, lay flat with the thankful words, and then was solidified.

Naturally, the soil bases and moats surrounding these were numerous, and the Igas were stuffed from the autumn entrance until just before the snow deepened. I only prepared meals and beds for the workers. Three meals instead of two, a building that rains more than wild boards, I didn't show any kindness. I went because it would be more efficient as a result.

When a minister could live under the castle, Kyou and Hal both moved in. Apparently, a discussion was reached between the two wives, and they're not unfriendly. It seems that I will be transferred from Ancient Ancient to Iga, within which I am officially referred to as a national change. My mother stayed in ancient times. Faryama Jingren died on August 12. With that, the day approached when Mibomaru would go to Iwamura Castle. My mother took Lord Katsuko and his children into Gifu Castle. I really decided to throw the whole thing because I was talking about changing territory and leaving all the other chores to myself.

On November 11, the fourth year of the former tortoise, I was officially awarded the Iga Nation in a letter from my father. The letter said that my previous martial arts had been written for a long time, accompanied by a letter of sentiment for it, and that I would continue to be loyal to the Oda family. It was a lot different from the letter you wrote when you deposited your ancient past with me one day. And at the end, the pot was modestly added that she was pregnant again. This is the thirteenth. Father is well, too.

If you fix Iga ichi country to stone height, you can see it as almost 100,000 stones. It's triple compared to previous places of knowledge. It would be a big birth. Iga Shosho, the caller, also became official. Until now Dr. Sentence has been quite embarrassed so I think it would have been nice to include the area.

Regardless of the street, on November 15th, when the popularity of the castle ended, I gathered together the ministers and the surrendered Igas. Speaking to those who participated in the popularization, he announced that he would not take taxes this year. The look on the face of the surprised Iga crowd was interesting. Why? I guess you think. Why or nothing, if we collect even more annual contributions on this, the peasants will die of hunger. Who will like and kill the inhabitants of his place?

Next year he announced that he would actively execute street maintenance from Iga to Omi and Iga to Ise, and returned all the hostages to Hattori. When I saw how they worked, I knew I had no heart. From now on, I accompanied the Oda family with the words to be faithful. I hope this makes you feel benevolent, but you won't simply go that far inside.

And I told those who had relatives with Iga Shinobu who fled to the Ishiyama Honjinji Temple and Takano Mountain to tell them that I would forgive them any time I returned. The confiscated territory shall also be returned, depending on the handles. The Igas were also surprised by this. Conversely, all the ministers from a long time ago had the look that they would be. Something, they seemed to be reading my belly and it wasn't very funny.

"Was it a good idea?

The day after I finished Iga's setup, Shiro arrived. When Shiro asks if it was a good idea, he thinks the same thing about Baidi Tampa behind it. I mean, Iga Shinobu can't read my belly.

"I'm not sure what they're asking me about, but I don't think I've done anything wrong. I pulled out my fangs. After that, how will I keep it? I'm not gonna abuse you any more than I have to."

More than that, I turned to Shiro. I've had this man move a lot since he started the Iga attack. I gave him more money than my nostalgia first, and I said it was for you and gave it to him.

"And I wanted to reward you with something. Shiro, do you have a last name?

"There isn't. abandoned son of a bitch."

"So you don't even know where you're from? What village is it out of?

"A poor peasant in a village called Ishikawa Village."

"What's the name Shiro?

"Shiro, my parents told me that when they let you out of the house because you're my fourth child, you decide to think you're dead as soon as possible."

"What a pity that is."

I honestly don't really know how that feels as I grew up as a child of my parents loving me as much as it is hot and painful.

"Well, I'll name it and move on."

It is not uncommon to use the place of origin as a surname. The same is true of the Imperial Hall of Mitsuji, and there are numerous nomenclatures with geographical names on their heads, such as Isepei and Kofiyuan.

"As of today, your Lord's surname is Ishikawa. Let Ishikawa's house thrive."

"Ishikawa, is it? Awkward."

"He would be an excellent minister of the Baidu family serving me. You should have about one of your last names. I'll change my name, too. Shiro was told he was dead, so your Lord is the fifth."

In my head, I think of a name that uses five. There is no twist in Goro. It's a good name to grow up with as a ninja. When it comes to excellent sneaking in my Oda family, there is the Hiko Right-Men Palace. Plus, Goemon, yeah, not bad.

"Ishikawa Goemon. Let's call it that from today on, and let's be strong."

"Ishikawa, is this Goemon? Awkward?"

"Right, dissatisfied?

When I heard him, he shook his head to the side like he was in a panic. He's not dissatisfied.

"Then keep asking, Goemon. The intelligence of the Iga Murai family depends on you. Conquering an intelligence battle will not be won again unless it is fulfilled. Yuke."

When I said it, Goemon disappeared without sound as usual. But there was still money there that I had just given away.

"Hey, don't you need money? Then you'll pay with leaves in the future."

When I said, Goemon, who appeared out of nowhere, said that he was sorry, he missed the money, and disappeared again.

I don't even know if my Iga offense has become one opportunity, but the good news for the Oda family continues from the end of the former Turtle Four Years this year to the beginning of the former Turtle Five Years. Firstly, at the end of November of the fourth year of the former tortoise, the Hiko Right-Men Palace strikes down one of Kumano's three mountains, the Kumano Express Palace. This caused Kitamu and Nammu counties on the east side of Kii to fall entirely into the hands of the Oda family. In January, five years after dawn, the former Tortoise chief surrendered, and the forces of the Sanho family disappeared from Honshu. Yasuo Sanhao is the uncle of Sanhao Changqing, a heavenly man, and has been and continues to be a heavy town supporting the Sanhao Awa family. However, he surrendered after shaving his hair and renaming his name Sakurai (Shinohara) as the earliest resistance in a situation where Sanho Nagaji murdered Shinohara Nagakura and became a contender of the Oda family dominance in Kinai.

My father rejoices in the surrender of the famous general and employs him as a diplomatic representative for China and the Four Kingdoms after giving him a concealment fee of five hundred pieces, regardless of his previous hostility.
