Nobunaga's Bastard

Episode One Hundred Seventeen - The Demon King's Notice

Keckeckeckeckecke, and the long laughter of a strange bird, echoed the temple of Antu Castle.

"I'm relieved to hear that you're welcome."

"I don't know who said it, but I'm not feeling too well. Whether you are a healthy person or not, it will be enough to scowl. Look at that. My ankle is weak, but what is it?"

Laughing joyfully, my father, who was standing outside the room looking under the castle, came back and sat down with Dokali.

"Want a drink?

"So, a dedication"

When I said it, my father tipped the bottle and poured the liquor into the vitreous vessel. It is a wine made from fermented grapes. It's dark purple and seems to draw in beautifully. The vitreous vessel that puts it in is thinner and taller, and more transparent than any vitreous we have ever seen. It's like a purple liquid is floating in the universe.

"What do you say? Would it taste good?

"Yes."

I don't drink much. My father is not too strong for alcohol either. I can't drink too much Cheng liquor, etc., which has been too strong so far, and I don't know when or what it is because I'm suddenly intoxicated, so I don't think it's suitable for the Wujia family. However, my mother makes carbonated liquor, which has spread in Oda territory these days at cheap prices, and this wine can drink quite a bit, and not only can I get drunk, but I can enjoy the flavor.

"Not only ceramics, but vitreous dishes and so on may be available for sale from now on. Buckwheat shells and other buffer materials will also increase demand. Juice that doesn't ferment and just squeezes will love kids, and in the future if you make liquor from a variety of fruits, you'll just earn money growing those trees in the garden"

"Here we go again, did you hear that, Kanjiro? He's already thinking about making money."

"I'm not surprised anymore. He's been like this for a long time."

From behind my father, Kanjiro, slowly approaching, replied with a laugh. My father laughs even higher when he hears the words. I look in a good mood. He seems to be eating meals and drinking moderately. Listen carefully to the doctor and my mother. I have also heard that these days I have developed a lifestyle. Even in this battle, my father moved from Affordable Land four times. Kyoto, once in Echimae Ichigo Valley, and twice in Gifu. That alone worked well enough to inspire allies and put pressure on enemies.

"Maori, no, how was Ryukyu Oyakawa?

"You were strong. I didn't think you'd be too hostile."

"Though you may win."

"It was the Oda family who won, not me"

Upon receipt of the surrender documents, the fighting was interrupted once. The Maori family withdrew from Kanosuke Yamanaka and others who were raging around among the causes, works, bells, preps, and clouds they said they would give way to the Oda family. I came to say sorry. At the same time, he asked me to tell him whenever I was ready to pull up the troops at the same time as the Oda family soldiers were stationed after being prepared. Now he is fighting Sorin Otomo, who was attacking Nagato in defiance of the Oda family's ceasefire order. I think it's a brilliant extraction.

"It was a difficult situation to say that I could move a soldier to double my enemies, and the others were united. This one can make you listen to any order with a word from your father if you have to. You said you could have fought in such a favorable situation, but after five months of fighting, the Maori main family soldiers have hardly been damaged. I even think it's all on the palm of Ryukyu Oyakawa."

The Maori main family fought with all their might, except for Yoshikawa Motochun Army in the west, which attacked So-jing Urakami only once. It was an abdominal accumulation that the two main Maori realms of prep and beauty could not be taken away without labor, but it was a brilliant mistake. That lowered the morale of my allies, and I asked my father to go to Kyoto and moved forward myself. A few days, but he even made his way to the border between Regent and Sowing. That would have been when me and Ryukyu Oyagawa were closest together.

According to information that came in later. Before the battle, it seems that the first of the Maori family to put up an argument against surrender was the then Takashi Oyakawa. In accordance with the will of the late Duke, the Maori family does not know themselves and ask about the heavens. Nobunaga Oda's minister will be the most fulfilled.

It was Yoshikawa Motochun who became the flag of those who disgraced Takemen, such as surrendering without fighting against this. As a result of the discussion, we fought and surrendered at a stage where everyone was convinced that we couldn't win. If you decide you can win, you gain heaven. Seems to have seen such a conclusion. When asked about the results of the conflicts and discussions around here, Yoshikawa Motochun and the brothers of Ryukyu Oyakawa get the impression that they are good friends with something whose character is the opposite.

Surrender-led Ryukyu Oyagawa, it's where Heaven knows how much more he did than after the end of the war was opened. When I was staring in front of him and at Regent, I said, 'This is the first and last chance I can win now,' and I advised him to avalanche from sowing to Regent at once and win my neck in all armies. It electrically attacks up to Kyo, and it also snatches my father's neck as it is. That way we can take from the West all the way to Wuqi.

When I heard the story, my neck muscles freaked out. Because I didn't think it was impossible. If Yoshikawa Motochun had been there, this measure would have been decided and could have been successful. But in fact, until then, the men who were the main warriors stepped on two legs with the logic: 'If they fail and isolate themselves in enemy lands'. Admiral Huiyuan Maori also betrayed Naota Uchita without being able to decide, and the Maori family lost control of the sea in Seto as a result of the Second Akashi Strait Sea Battle.

These battles, five months of defense, and the destruction of the Murakami Navy are the only way Ryukyu Oyakawa's 'surrender, okay?' It may have been necessary to make a word unanimous. Murakami Aquarius has been destroyed, but the Aquarius family's Aquarius remains almost intact. Ryukyu Oyagawa showed only the hearts of the main warriors broken, with little to no detriment to the main soldiers. The Oda family won. I tried to win and I won. But the way I won, I still don't feel like I was on the palm of Ryukyu Oyakawa.

"Looks like Sorin Otomo is on track."

My wine-drinking father accidentally changed his story. I don't look grumpy. Maybe, but you think it's convenient.

"Hi, looks like you're dreaming of building a thousand-year kingdom and a yakuza by Chechnya"

For this reason, it seems necessary to have land that serves as a trading port close to Hakata in Kyushu, Nagato and other continents. It takes Maori territory and, with the patronage of a house, takes the Dragon Temple in the west, Shimazu in the south. That's how I turned Kyushu into a paradise in Chechnya. That kind of muscle keeps Sorin Otomo's dream going.

"The power of the truncheon must be curbed."

Both the bottle in which the wine is placed and the vessel in which it is poured show that the Southern Barbarians, or Christians, possess a high degree of skill. A high level of skill leads to a proportionate high level of military power. I hear you manipulate a giant ship that can cross the Great Sea Plains, which runs as far as Tang and Geranium, rather than the Inland Sea like Setouchi. One day, they might come to Japan with a large army. In doing so, if Kyushu was already Christian, it would be pointless for the ex-core to fold like a kamikaze to blow.

"Some South Barbarians have the hard idea of not recognizing other than their fellow countrymen as people. It is also possible that a Japanese human being is seen as an object, not a person. Uncertain information, but there are also stories of Japanese people already being sold in some parts of Kyushu. At least be true, but if it's true, be sure to respond."

Fortunately, all the Oda family cheques are loyal to their father. Neither the missionary Louis Floyce nor Lorenzo Tosai have a bad relationship with his father.

My father looked beside me with chilli. At the end of his gaze is the globe that the missionary gave him. When you look at that globe, you can see that the Japanese book is too small, the sea is uninterrupted and vast, and the missionaries are following the Japanese book through an uninterrupted distance. If there had been a nation of the Nanbans right next door, they would have been invaded by the neglect of the Japanese books and so forth.

"Okay. Yasuto, Mino, Kyoto. Speak to the missionaries of each land and make sure to ask. If we don't have a satisfactory answer before Sanchiro returns, we'll also look at the injunction and church beatings."

"Until my uncle returns, is that it?

"Mm-hmm. I'll be done with Kofi soon."

In the last five months, Maori, the western power, descended on Oda. In the east, Surugawa and Izu fell by the Tokugawa and Imagawa coalition forces, and the Hojo family retreated to Sagami's Odawara Castle. After the battle of the mud, Nobuto was taken by Oda, and Mr. Kofiyuan's Takeda family was destroyed.

In April, during my struggle against Maori, the tip of Oda vs. Takeda was opened. The Oda family first targeted Hida Takayama City. The Oda family mobilizes 20,000 troops in what can be described as the only important region in the sparsely populated country of Hida. It was also the Left Palace and the Built-in Auxiliary Palace who took command, as well as the Kim Mori Kanji, who was bought with a high command capability. Once away from the Hokuriku offensive, it was the first major military command. At the time everyone was half-hearted about how much the strategic significance of sending 20,000 to Hida was. Seiyuki Takeda can't afford to send a large army to Hida, and mobilizes 20,000 soldiers for Hida. I waited for the Oda army to attack from the north and south.

As a result, the policy of force concentration pursued by Seiyuki Takeda decided to win or lose. The fact that he abandoned the Takeda family minister, even if it was a small territory that had not long since been integrated into the Takeda family, led to the departure of the Takeda family ministers. The greatest shock was conveyed by the departure of Yoichang Kizen, the son-in-law of Shingen Takeda. Seiyuki Takeda, furious by this, even 10,000 soldiers, head to Kiso Valley. But as time went by, Oda's main team 40,000 started northbound from the south.

If, like birds, we can look down directly from the top at Shinano and Kofi, we can see that there is a visiting lake in the center of both countries, with flatlands stretched out on the three sides. To the north is the area mainly Shinzhou Matsumoto, the west of which is Hida. In the southeast, there is a country of Kofi, and Shingen Takeda grew his power northwards from this flatland across Kofi and Shinano. And stretching south are Upper and Lower Ina Counties. The main unit of the Oda family headed north from this flatland at once. The battlefield was headed by Kanjiro, who would be the first in line as General Tsukuba. There were also three vice-generals, and as a military superintendent, the main throne of a substantial battlefield commander sat the Hinko Right-Men Palace.

Seiyu Takeda defeats Oda's main team and then defeats the invading army of Hida. Beyond Takayuan Castle, the two armies clash south through Ina County with the ministers of Takeda's hip and his real brother, Shengxin Peeke, in Ina Uigo. The Takeda Army is more than 14,000, minus soldiers who have left the rebellion or Takayuki Castle. The Oda Army is three times that.

As the Maori family was defeated by Ironclad, the latest weapon knitted by his father by the Murakami Navy, the Takeda family was also destroyed by the new method of warfare knitted by his father.

Although there are several secrets to the strength of Takeda soldiers. One of them is the horse riding squad operation, which is beyond question. Use a strong and small Kiso horse on the mountain path to reach the battlefield faster than your enemies and gain ground. Let's also call it the pinnacle of "Fast Things Like Wind". My father took away this pinnacle.

Kanjiro lined up the artillery prepared by his father for 3,000 dings and fired simultaneously at the approaching horseman cavalry. This simultaneous firing led first to the fall of the cavalry that was on the front line, and then to the confusion of all the Takeda Horse Riders on the battlefield. The cowardly horses were frightened by the roaring noise of the ground and fled the battlefield shaking off the Lord.

The Takeda soldier, who literally lost his tiger son's horseback squad and was rendered powerless, raised by a Kofi tiger, was forced to make a frontal collision with triple soldiers in a state of confusion. Still, the most powerful and prestigious Takeda soldiers in heaven maintained their front in all their disadvantages. However, Takeda family minister Takeyama Umesuke, who had received Oda's manoeuvre, occupies the rear Takafari Castle with the sneak of His Royal Highness Weimon Hiko, blocking his exit.

This leans the battlefield at once, and the Takeda family loses and crushes Shingen crotch ministers, beginning with Haunted Minomaba Shinchun and Naito Chang Fu. Chasing the crushed Takeda family was a horseback riding squad that was in the Oda family and ran horses accustomed to the sound of artillery.

Ina County was taken in, and the north of Lake Suwa also fell at the hands of a separate movement. Following the pursuit of the Oda family, which is gathering on the shore of Lake Takeda, the Takeda family remnants withdrew further east.

Takeda Army had two options at this time. To withdraw to Kofu and fight Cage Castle. The other is to flee to Northeast Saku County. It was self-evident that it was impossible to protect both Kofu and Saku County where the Takeda family had assembled its full strength at the earliest possible time. And protecting Kofu means that you must also be attacked by Tokugawa in the south, and fleeing to Saku County means that you will be sponsored by the Uesugi family, who fought in Kawanaka Island five times further north.

Those who survived went for Saku County. Kofi, thus abandoned, falls into the hands of the Oda family without labor, and the Oda family succeeds in taking away Hida and Shinano's half, and Kofi's one nation, over a month.

Between then and when I dropped Maori, the Oda family made the Takeda Territorial arrangement a priority. Mr. Takeda was killed by the owner Seiyuki, and his brother, Shinsheng Peeke, survived. The survival of Shingen Takeda's last pillar on which he relied, Changjing, Yamagata Prefecture, was also confirmed, and they descend to the Uesugi family, claiming a thorough anti-war against the Oda family.

Unlike Shinano and Hida, Takeda's attack was temporarily interrupted for the reason that it was not easy to govern Kofi, whose feelings for the Takeda family were serious due to Takeda's good governance. Hokuriku's Noto Front, and the attack by Izu and Sungawa, which had not yet been settled at this time, gave priority. In the meantime, Uncle Mitsuro was to sit in Kofi as Kanjiro's substitute. Sansuke is also stopped in merit by the words of his father, 'Let him struggle a little'.

"I'd like to rush the Kyushu attack, but I can also make you pull the West soldier once. Let's start with a complete crusade over Uesugi Takeda"

"No, the soldiers in the west won't pull. Increase the number of people in Ninglo."

Shinano Kofi is to be admitted to the Kanto administration. The Hojo family has said they will surrender. The North Kanto fans have already sent hostages. Cutting up a good western offense, I first thought East, but Father shook his head to the side.

"You've come to listen to the terms of the Maori surrender. Let me tell you the terms of my surrender. It's a confiscation of the entire territory."

"Huh..."

A dumb, breathless voice came out. I don't understand the meaning of the words my father said, and I look at that face with a blatant glance.

"At the time I became Mr. Ping's elder and Kankyuro became General Tsukuba, all the Wujias were my ministers. At this stage, all samurai who do not obey me in Japan are murderers. The pursuit of the rebels must naturally be carried out as a building beam for the martial family. Good bandage. No territory is allowed to the Maori family. Tell Maori's diplomat when he shows up. And keep the soldiers as far west as you can before you tell them."

"What should we do about the Hojo family?

In a stiff tone, Kankyuro asked. Just like the Maori family. That was the reply.

"I do not ask for the necks of those who have drawn bows against the Oda family, appreciating their early surrender. We also allow the Oda family to welcome talented people as ministers."

"Ha, won't you forgive me if Uesugi Takeda surrenders now?

When I asked, I was nodded irrespective.

"They keep attacking until they're doomed. Even if you surrender, chase them, and destroy them even if you divide the grass roots. The same goes for Otomo in Kyushu. Disobeying my orders and attacking Nagato means nothing. Nagato is already in the territory of the Oda family, and will immediately launch an army to pursue Otomo."

Listening to my father, I was reprimanding myself for being so far-fetched that I thought I'd crossed the line at the earliest. Leave the great forces behind the great forces and make them sparks of the later worlds. There is no way my father would have committed the two dances of defeat that Muromachi Shogun did. This one is the only one in the world of warring nations who was called the 'Demon King', not a ghost, a dragon, or a tiger.

"As you wish."

I, the son of the Demon King, lay low and consolidated my awareness that the most brutal year would begin.
