Nobunaga’s Imouto is My Wife

Episode 100: From the land of cherry blossoms

During the Warring States, there was a man Nobunaga Oda feared most.

His name is Shingen Takeda.

It's not just the good blood muscle of Mr. Kofiyuan's head.

This man, who led an exceptional army and a competent ministerial corps to instantly expand his sphere of power - nicknamed the "Tiger of Kofi" - is widely feared under heaven.

From the time he defeated Yoshiwon Imagawa in the barrel cramps and raised his name to the world of the warring nations - Nobunaga has taken a strong interest in Shingen's trend.

The Takeda family is married to the Imagawa family.

In other words, the Oda family could quickly have been invaded when the enemy turned to the Takeda family for all the condolences.

Nobunaga therefore always turned poorly against the Takeda family, aiming to conclude a marital alliance.

Shingen will also gradually recognize the value of his use when he sees that Utsumomo has defeated the famous general, mastered Ozhang ichi, and begins to advance to Mino.

And Yonglu 8 (1565) November 13.

Between the Oda family and the Takeda family, a marital alliance was to be formed.

Her husband's name is Seung-yu Suwa, and his wife is his niece, Princess Miao, who became the adopted daughter of Nobunaga.

At this time, Seung-Joon is 19 years old. Princess Miao was 16 years old.

Princess Miao is a beautiful girl who is also a member of the Oda family.

But this princess, the moment she met Seung-Joon, seemed terribly depressed.

Because by the time I was farther than myself - by the time I was overwhelmed, my husband was more beautiful.

Shengli's mother is Princess Yui, who was described as a "beauty with no hiding in the world".

He was a child of the prestigious and visiting family who celebrated the great celebration of the Great Visiting House, and excelled not only in appearance but also in upbringing.

And his father, Shingen, was also a beautiful and sturdy man who ran bitterly.

A chunk of high deviation, born between such parents and taken over with no room for the good of both, is a victory.

Princess Miao looked at him and there was no reason to be depressed.

Until then, a butterfly. A princess who has been raised to be a flower.

Even if it doesn't come true for the princess of the city, who is called an extinct beauty, at least she won't lose to other women in her appearance - she thought so somewhere in her heart, but she never imagined it would be or defeated by a man.

Nevertheless, even with such an encounter, the two couples were extremely close.

Seung-yeon is a race that doesn't care as much about their appearance, and it's also big that Princess Miao, who was eventually obsessed with their appearance - made such a fool of herself.

The laughter was constant if both of us, and as a man and a woman, they went extremely well with each other in terms of the couple.

Exactly, he was a couple of beautiful men and women who envied him.

"Ah! Huh!

"Damn, dammit!

"... Wu Wang Wan Wan, Mai Yi. It's right in front of my mother... why don't you be quiet?"

"Ahhh!

"Ugh!

"... wasted, or"

The young man carrying the two babies laughed bitterly in front of the tombstone - he watered and hung them with a tamarind.

And when I give in, I drop the mud and moss attached to the tombstone with a wet cloth.

Apparently, he's not obsessed with his kimono getting dirty.

"... seedlings, what do you say? The kids are glad to see you."

A subtle shake in the shoulder that occurs when polishing the headstone.

Is that fun, the kids on my back are shaking a lot.

Cheeks were broken by the delightful colour characteristic of the young child, while at the same time, the colour of worry was floating darkly on the young man's righteous face.

"But I miss you. Do you remember... sweating and wiping each other with water (soy sauce)? I can remember like I did yesterday. Your skin shouldn't have been so hard..."

When Seung-yu finishes removing mud and moss from his late wife's tombstone, he hangs water to clean the surface.

And it was accompanied by flowers and incense, hands together, and then - leaked pompously.

"Why has it passed away... It would be too soon... just leave the child and die, not at all..."

11 years of Yonglu (1568).

Spring breeze incense April 7.

In the midst of a famous cherry blossom blizzard - Katsushi, who carried her two late babies, is holding her hands together again in front of the tombstone.

Shinano Ina County Takayuan - that is the land of Takayuan Castle, which is given to Shengli.

Across Mount Goya from the county where the ancient demons lived, Takayama is an important base in the Takeda family's rule of Nanshinno, a major impulse of traffic connected by Far River Country and Akiba Avenue.

By the way, the high altitude was a land of religious importance as well.

It all stems from the existence of Mount Guardianship.

In central highlands such as Shinano and Kofi, the faith known as Shinnon was dominant.

The main hall does not exist in this organization, although it is the Taisha company that binds this faith.

It is composed of one shrine by four companies: the Mae Palace and the Main Palace of Uemura, and the Akimiya and Harumura of Shimoya.

The shrine dedicated to the Shinto Taisha company without a main shrine is Goya Mountain.

Only at this altitude of 1,650 meters, Koyama was an important presence for the Shinto religion.

Because, according to Tsuyoshi, deep beneath the basement of Mt. Goya, a four-wing white snake/leakage arrow of the same female is asleep.

Master Leaked Arrow is a patron saint in the central highlands of Japan and an ancient demon that is told to drive away evil gods.

The main purpose of visitation was to worship and serve this patron saint and to keep him awake in his sleep until the time of the coming end war.

At high altitude, when the Leaky Arrow wakes up and crawls out onto the ground - there is a cave called the "Oguchi" that supposedly gives his face.

And the leakage arrow that crawled out of your mouth got the wings stored in each of the four companies of Sumitomo Taisha to become the Ascension Dragon?

In other words, high altitude is the first land where the patron saint, who is told to the Church of Visitation, appears.

It will no longer be obvious why winning requests are handed out to places with such characteristics.

Protector Kofi and Mr. Takeshi's hybrid youth - as martial arts officers, clerics, they wanted to protect and worship Leaky Arrows in this land.

"Seedlings...... Also coming soon. This year is warmer than usual... because even if Wu Wang Wang Wan and Mai Yi go outside, they won't catch a cold"

Seung-yu leaves the cherry-dancing cemetery and joins his men waiting outside to return to Takayuan Castle.

By the way, Shinano, the central highlands, was a land of extremely high climate change.

It is Zara that the frost falls during the summer and crops are hit hard by the cold.

Even without frost, the farmland itself was sometimes devastated by heavy winds and heavy rainfall.

What's more, it's the normal world where lakes and rivers freeze after November and don't de-ice until March of the following year.

The inhabitants of the central highlands had always lived in a back-to-back life with natural disasters.

But nature isn't the only threat. The damage caused by demons was also extremely high.

In the kingdoms of Shinano and Kofi, where a wide variety of demons travel, it is part of everyday life that settlements are attacked by demons.

Thus, from top to bottom, the people of the central highlands were - sperm in the mating and fertility of horses, a means of countering demons.

While horses are demons, they are basically harmless to people and easy to handle if not used in warfare.

Of course, horses sometimes have low reproductive capacity and don't get a lot more numbers...

But the Kofi Takeda family has somehow succeeded in increasing horse production, and now boasts a prominent number of holdings even when looking at Japan as a whole.

It also led to the Takeda family support of the people of the Central Highlands.

Under the control of the Takeda family, each village will have a permanent Takeda family horse riding police unit.

That meant, in other words, more means of countering demonic threats.

On top of that, the Takeda family sometimes has to cultivate a large number of horses, and the combined use of white stuffed grass and pasture is permitted as an annual contribution.

The Takeda family gained overwhelming support compared to other central highland lords because that meant that so much grain would remain on hand for the people to eat.

In both Kofi and Shinano countries, "the horseman is better than the head count of the people".

The number of horses held is a battle - needless to say, directly linked, among other things, to their ability to fight in the field.

And the Takeda family's proud and overwhelming army of horseback riding was recognised as literally the most powerful force in the warring nations.

It is common sense under heaven to say that there are only two houses that can intercept such a Takeda family from the front: the Uesugi family and the Hojo family.

The Uesugi family had a huge island of Jade Fluorescent Stone called Sado Island, which held a large quantity of sharpened weapons from here.

The Hojo family also possesses a large quantity of weapons against demons using the branch leaves of a tree-shaped demon that covers the entire peninsula.

In fact, the two families continued to reject the Takeda family's north and east march, which continued to be an obstacle to Shingen's enlargement policy.

"It will be only a matter of time before Father's target deviates into the river now in the south... But what happens next...?

After returning to the castle and leaving the children to the nanny - Seung-yu sits on the edge of the mansion in the castle, sipping his own boiling water and thinking about the future.

"If we get Surugawa, we can get the sea and the flatlands. And that means gaining economic and productive power. That might destroy Uesugi and Hojo - but they're too incompatible. Together, the western Oda or Tokugawa should be swallowed..."

The young man placed a hot pot of tea on top of the basin.

There's another pair of tea bowls, poured with water.

"- Hopefully, you don't want that to happen."

Thinking of his late wife, Seung-yu softly - smashed an empty tea bowl into the one that Princess Miao always used.

The water in the couple's "ladies" tea bowl sways, and the cherry blossom petals burst into it.

Seeing the petals floating in the water, Seung-yu took a deep sigh.

"... seedlings, what shall I do?"

But no one responds to that word.

A full blossom of cherry blossom trees planted in the garden had just been heard in the wind.

It was on November 1, 1567, that Seung-yu lost his wife.

The cause of death was puerperal fever.

After giving birth to the twins after a difficult birth on October 29, Princess Miao suffered a high fever, which left her in the other world.

The youth remembered vividly that time. It's no exaggeration to say it's a nail mark you'll never forget.

Even though Princess Miao had her death in front of her - because she kept whining about her love for victory and the children she had been born with until the end, as she was floated by fever.

It should have been forgotten, but it wasn't.

"I don't have the guts to give my father an opinion. Above all, if I hurt my father's mood - I would be killed, too, like my brother. Then who can protect Wu Wang Wang Wan and Mai Yi..."

Seung-yu's face was cloudy and his fists clenched.

His older brother is Shingen's eldest son and Shinnon, who was seen as the next owner of the Takeda family.

Yoshin was closed to Higashi Temple in Kofu by Shingen from 8 years of Yonglu (1565) until the birth of Seung-yu's child.

The reason for this, he said, was that he was found to be rebellious. At least, that's what they told Victory Request.

But my brother was only used as a pawn for his family's solemnity - and Seiyu thinks it's in his heart.

Because the men who were succeeded and defeated with Yoshin were all old men, including the Takeda family's heavy minister, Li Fu Huchang.

They have had the experience of deporting Shingen's father, Shingen Tiger, from the country when placing Shingen at the head of the Takeda family.

In other words, if we were inconvenient masters, we wouldn't mind changing them at any time.

It is not hard to imagine that Shingen tried to insert Yoshin, a youngster "easier to give" than Shingen, into the masters of the Takeda family, fearing that his influence would diminish.

Yishin, who was made a scapegoat, is poisoned by Shingen, and Seung-yu, who succeeded the Takeda family, is selected as the successor to the Takeda family.

But that wasn't necessarily a pleasure for Victory Request.

If my father doesn't like me, Victory Trust will follow the same fate as Yoshin.

Anyway, he's a man who doesn't even care if he kills his flesh and blood to maintain his power base.

Whenever I think about it, the victory always seems to crush me with anxiety.

"I have to survive... If you don't protect Wu Wang Wan Maru and Mai Yi... or the seedlings will no longer mean anything to you"

Victory is no longer a capacity to live by one's will alone.

He will be the leader of Mr. Kofiyuan as he draws the blood of the visitors - the fact was extremely heavy.

But still, Seung-Joon never wanted to lose sight of the footprints left by his beloved wife.

"Master Seung-yee, Master Seung-yee!

With his heart pulled with intense force and a feeling that he is about to tear, Seung-yu examines the appearance of a nearby cliché who rushed into the garden.

Kanemaru Chang-heng (Mazatsu) - I had just finished my uniform the other day.

By the way, it will mean that his brother Chang Jin is near Shingen and that he is a brother and serves beside the Lord and the next Lord respectively.

This castle owner's mansion in Takafari Castle is rarely filled with arrow cod.

Princess Miao also lived in the mansion, not just in Seung-chun, so the men reluctantly refrained from entering.

And that still remained a custom - apparently, to see how Chang Heng was doing, a situation that he couldn't have said either.

"What's up, Changheng? Finally, your father woke you up in the armies of the current river crusade."

"No, it's not......! Sounds like a dragon appeared in Uematsu County this morning!

"I don't know... the dragon! And Uematsu... isn't it as close to Nakatsu River, my wife's birthplace!

Seung-yu stands up in a hurry.

Princess Miao's father, Nobunaga's niece, was the castle owner of Miaozu Castle, located on the border between Mino and Shinano - there.

Uematsu is a land northeast of the Nakatsu River, not so far away.

"Already the information has been communicated to the Oda family, the allies. Currently, the Kiso family is following the direction of the dragon's journey… after all, the invasion of Mino is inevitable. According to the alliance, we must return the dragon to the back of the mountain jointly with the Oda family."

"Okay. Let's make a move soon."

Nodding, Seiyu takes off her room clothes and passes herself into garments with "Takeda Rhomi" and "Kaji Leaf" family crests.

And when I wore my feet with Changheng's help, I gave a toast to my wife's hot water and tea bowl before drying the contents all at once.

"Lord Nobunaga... will the father-in-law come out"

"The earth dragon is the opponent. You'll have to come out."

Scratch as many ringtones as you can like drums, copper, and legal helmets - Seung-yu takes his men and flies out of Takayuan Castle.

Shinano is home to many demons, but one of the most troublesome is the earthly dragon.

It's basically dormant deep in the ground, but from time to time, as I recall, it becomes active and begins to advance through the ground while destroying the rock beds.

When the earth dragon progresses through people's living areas, the streets will first be destroyed and riverbanks and embankments destroyed to induce flooding.

And houses and fortifications are dug up and destroyed with the ground sinking.

"Order! Order!!

If you run the horse, the messengers dispatched by the Kiso crowd tracking the dragon will report the situation one after the other.

Earthdragons, which began their activity in Uematsu, appear to be proceeding at a slow rate, heading out to Osamu while digging down some of the bird hunting mountains, and toward the Nakatsu River as they scratch the river of the Kiso River in a disastrous manner.

The forces of the Oda family are also already standing by at Miaoki Castle, and under Nobunaga's command, they are rapidly preparing to chase back the Tsurugi.

"The boulder is Lord Uesuke, ready fast......!

Chang Heng responded instantly to the sigh of Sheng Li.

"It's a move that's too fast. It's as if we expected the emergence of a dragon."

"We will always be ready to deal with demons... The Oda family doesn't have horses, but they have gold. We can keep large numbers of soldiers in gold so that they can be mobilized at any time. That's what seedlings always say."

Changheng looked subtle and nodded.

It is more about the deceased. For Changheng, who is only a 14-year-old boy, he did not know how to respond to the Lord's words.

"And the scariest thing in heaven - is the power of gold. There is food to move soldiers. The food will be paid for if there is any money. And with the money, I can feed the soldiers and their families... I hope Takeda's attracted to the charm of gold doesn't show up..."

"Dear Sheng Li,"

Changheng told him with a straight face.

"Let's be weak compared to the power of a person's will, such as the charm of gold. At least this Changheng is not a man blinded by the brilliance of gold"

"... well. No, I've said weird things too."

That's what Seung-yu said, staring forward.

The journey from Uematsu to Nakatsu River is in the valley along the Kiso River.

On both sides were lush mountains, which, if they were meant to be, were also attractions that conveyed a quiet Japanese original landscape.

But the landscape has changed and is disturbed.

In a situation I couldn't have predicted, of course not.

Nevertheless, the scenario, even worse than that assumed by Seung-Joon, has spread to the present day.

The terrain was bulging wide, and had been dug apart.

Mountain forests are heavily decided, collapsed, and massive amounts of dirt and sand are flowing into the Kiso River.

Both the streets and the banks of the Kiso river are thoroughly crushed - it is, nevertheless, like after a major earthquake.

It was no longer obvious that recovery would require a lot of time and effort.

"How huge an earthdragon goes through, like this..."

Shengli drives the horse, distracting himself.

And you'll see it.

That the exuberance of the enormous soil that drastically detracts from the assumption of victory is slowly moving towards Minoxi, while drastically cutting down the mountain forests of the valley.

If you don't keep hitting your hand like this, his beloved wife's home will disappear in the dirt and dust - enough to make you think so, the spectacular sight was spreading.
