Celebration 5 years (1600) On October 14, Naomi Hot Island of Saga Castle and the parents and sons of Seung Mao will lead a large army of 32,000 soldiers into Yanagawa Castle, guarded by Somo Tachibana.
Along the way, when the forces of Rushui Kuroda and Kiyoshi Kato rendezvous, they will surround Yanagawa Castle as it is, and Somo Tachibana will open the castle on November 3.
And just three days later, if you don't help Somo Tachibana, Yoshihiro Shimazu will arrive at Yanagawa Castle with 10,000 soldiers, but Yanagawa Castle has already fallen due to a coalition of Pot Island, Kato and Kuroda on Tokugawa Fang.
And waiting for Tachibana Somo, who opened the castle, is the disposition of the conversion.
Then, before Somo returns as the original castle owner of Yanagawa Castle, he really needs twenty years.
I... Toyotomi Hideyoshi, of course, knew about this historical fact.
I mean, I thought about it.
If Yoshihiro Shimazu's army had made it to this battle...
If Somo Tachibana defended the castle...
And suppose they didn't bow down to home health until the end...
If the Toyotomi take care of the main relief to them...
This was my bet.
It was my belief that it had unparalleled potential for significant historical change and should be explosive enough to trigger a falling rich minister to surface again.
For that, three days.
We need to extend the opening of Zongmao for just three days.
From Osaka, I prayed for Zongmao's martial arts in the far away land of Kyushu.
Finally, the battle against Jiayang started with me.
◇ ◇
Keio Oct 12, 5 Yanagawa Castle
As a messenger of Rushui Kuroda, Hiroshi Gui entered Yanagawa Castle.
In response to him, our Lord Somo Tachibana responded.
For Zongmao, it was not difficult to imagine that the purpose of that visit was a recommendation to "open the castle" even without asking.
Because of course we knew Naomi Hot Island of Saga Castle was assembling a large army without attacking Yanagawa Castle here.
But at this time he did not intend to open the castle with ease.
Of course, the situation is overwhelmingly unfavourable, and I know that the more I fight, the worse my future position will be.
However, he is so fierce as to be honored by Hideyoshi Tai as "Honda Tadashi in the east, Somo Tachibana in the west".
His pride did not allow him to dawn the castle without fighting.
No, more than that, you would be looking at his life harshly, I feel like my adoptive father Tachibanado Snow and the sharp eye of his wife Tachibana Tachiyo, who is sitting nearby, floating behind his brain and scolding him for "not just falling".
That said, it is not sneaky to involve the people near the Willow River in battle.
Once on the battlefield, all sorts of thoughts were swirling within his chest, which was now in the castle, even he, who ran endlessly under heaven and with wings, as if he had been shackled, heavy in body and mind.
There was a wide spread alone there, and it came among the castle owners.
It should be noted that around Zongmao, there were three people who were also close to him and could be said to be looking for you… Yubu Yushin, Ono Makoto, and Ten o'clock Lianzhen, who held back beside him.
After a well-settled greeting, Hiroshi offered a letter from Hideyoshi.
Seeing that wrap, Zongmao sighs.
The only confidence I saw of it was a stern face scolding the child,
"Lord Hideyoshi wrote to me."
and duly noted the attitude.
To the novel, Zongmao slowly opened the letter and looked through when he corrected his posture.
His eyes were like dead fish at first, but when he was opened up in a glance, he lit the light.
His surroundings seemed surprised by how it went.
When he finished reading the script, the three of them looked through it one after the other.
And all three responded exactly the same.
Stunning...
It was the end of the line.
"Try to delay opening the castle as much as possible...
Do something until November 6th...?
Zhenxi roared unexpectedly.
They are uniformly incredible in a letter of the opposite content to what they had imagined.
And even more surprising is told from the widespread tradition.
Lord Kuroda and Lord Kato will never attack Lord Tachibana.
Always calm Lian Zhen reacts to the word.
"So, on your side...?
To the inquiry, Broad Traditions shook his neck to the side.
"In your position, you can't take sides."
Lian Zhen asks, without changing one expression, against Zhenxi, who was openly disappointed.
"So let me show you what I'm up to, but I'll decide on the opportunism."
"You are right"
Then Zongmao, who had closed his mouth until then, asks.
"... then my only opponent is Lord Hot Island.
But if you poke at the Tokugawachi Prefecture any more, doesn't it taste bad?
Then Broad and Prolific answered with a voice without discouragement.
"It's too late to surrender"
To the words, the sole confidence of the lead elder said, moving his eyebrows with prickliness.
"What does that mean?
To the inquiry, Broad Traditions said with a low voice.
"After this, you must not surrender."
Zongmao's eyes glowed sharply at what seemed to be half blackmailing. And then slows down his voice for a long time and asks extensively.
"Don't surrender, do you want to?
Are you telling me to fight with Tokugawa Uchi by myself?
The eye is still a lion.
No, it's not from the world, but it would be more right to call it a 'dragon'.
It was intensely intimidating, like swallowing the beholder with one sip.
But Broad Traditions stared admirably at its eyes, rather than being drunk.
At this time, Somo Tachibana was only thirty-three years old.
Even though it is more than thirty years different from broad prosperity, from its eyes it shines the light of the brave men themselves who have crossed numerous training grounds and death lines.
It's not just...
I think so,
We will have to take Hideyoshi's side at all costs, it will rather be dangerous...
And the chills appear bubbly on his back.
The rumor that Kyushu was one of the best, when I saw it, I was so convinced.
Again, Zongmao turns against the vastness that was often seen in his eyes.
"Temple of Gui? What do you think? Is that what you're saying, trying to get Tokugawa Uchi and I to fight alone?
For the vast and prosperous, this was the battlefield.
Depending on his response, the brave man in front of him becomes both an enemy and an ally.
The tension becomes a muscle of sweat and flows as a forehead.
But he's also an old man who's been through numerous training grounds.
The liver sits more proud than anyone else.
When he tied his mouth to a single letter, he shook his neck to the side.
Zongmao, who looked at the condition with a frown,
"Hmm... what about that heart?
And, ask briefly.
Broad and prosperous answered the question, not with words, but with eyes.
Ahead of that gaze...
Letter from Hideyoshi Toyotomi...
Zongmao, plus the other three faces, blued uniformly.
That's not enough for the word "stunner" at all.
Now it's more widespread, inquire.
"... so, how about a reply to the letter?
In response to the question, the only answer was that confidence panicked.
"Please give us a little more time about that…"
"No, let me try!
As the joyful voice sounded in the room, so as to block its only word of confidence, the gaze of the four gathered to the bearer of the word.
Of course the owner of that word...
Tachibana Somo, it was that person.
And Zongmao continued with a sunny look.
"I just want to ask Lord Kwai for one thing! May I?
Broad and prosperous, but now he shook his head vertically.
Looking at it satisfactorily,
"What happens after I don't surrender?
And I heard it as if it were something to worry about or something with a hairless face.
Because he knew.
what the widespread answer is after this.
"Master Hideyoshi said, 'I'll take care of it'..."
At that time, Zongmao broke his face with garlic,
"Wow haha!!!
And laughed out loud.
Surprisingly broad and prosperous, but the confidence
"Again, my lord's bad..."
And sigh.
Zhenxi is
"Whoa, whoa! That will do the servant!!
And, if you rough your nose, Lian Zhen,
"Then quickly from the point of defense..."
And he was whining about something bumpy.
And Zongmao declared herself high.
"All right! It's burning!
We're going to have a big fight with that Tokugawa Inner Prefecture!
I surrendered to my opponent, Lord Hot Island, and in any case, I don't deserve it!
To Hideyoshi, let's just say that you go out with him!
Then the wide variety pinches its mouth at the proclamation.
"Tachibana Hall. Master Hideyoshi is not the only one.
I would like to work as a servant of the Tachibana Palace for a long time now. "
"What!? Can you tell me that from Hideyoshi?
"No, this is from Lord Rushui Kuroda."
The moment the name Rushui Kuroda appeared, Somo's expression tightened because he was familiar with the greatness of the person Rushui Kuroda and he needed to be prepared to take the weight of his words.
"What did Lord Rushui offer to Lord Kwai?
"Protect the castle..."
To the words, Zongmao's expression was soft again.
"So you can help me protect this Willow River Castle!? Ha ha! This gets a hundred manpower!
Your work in Kuruma is in my ears too! Please, help me!
That's right, Zongmao, with his head down.
But Broad Traditions shook his neck to the side.
The four, including Zongmao, looked surprised at the
"What does that mean? Gui Palace"
And Zongmao asked.
Then he answered this time with wide Traditions breaking his expression.
"It is not this castle that I defend!
"Then where?
and Zongmao asked, Lianzhen was quickly spreading the map around Willow River Castle.
And widespread refers to a point on that map.
Seeing that, Zongmao laughed luxuriously again.
"Wow haha! This is good!
I understand very well that Lord Gui is seriously trying to help me!
All right! Please do me a favor on that!!
Everybody! Now get ready!!
Zongmao, who so instructed, immediately stood up and left the room with a large crotch in order to move himself.
And that brave step meant that history was about to change dramatically.
