Now from now on, "Battle of the Willow River" will move into a war involving the whole of Kyushu, completely different from the historical reality.
To do this, we need to know where Naomi Hot Island sent the letter.
Before Toyotomi Hideyoshi embarked on Kyushu's reign, there was a continuation of fighting, as they called the "Kyushu Three Kingdoms".
It goes without saying that its protagonists were three houses: Shimazu, Ryuji Temple and Otomo.
The three houses were now about to clash on the Willow River stage by a vastly different historical fact.
Regardless, the army led by Naomi Hot Island represents the Ryuji family.
And the army led by Yoshihiro Shimazu is marching to Yanagawa Castle on behalf of the Shimazu family.
And everyone will think that Somo Tachibana represents the Otomo family…
But about two months ago, by a single letter sent by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to preserve himself, the distorted historical facts would come here and greatly distort Somo Tachibana's position.
Why is that...
Needless to say, because Yoshidai Otomo recaptured Mortar Castle in the wake of the war.
Of course, the reconstruction of the Otomo family has not yet been officially granted at this time.
But once distorted historical facts gradually increased the distortion.
Yes...
One remaining army going for Willow River...
It was the army of the Otomo brotherhood.
Moreover, it was proceeding to destroy the former minister, the Tachibana family.
Now, let's just roll back some time to find out how we got to that march.
………
……
In September of Keio 5, Yoshio Otomo, who plundered the castle of Mortar Castle, the residence of Sorin Otomo, the former head of the Otomo family, immediately moved to the next action.
In the name of fulfilling the promise of "attacking the Shimazu family together" exchanged with Yoshisuke Kuroshiyama, near Rushui Kuroda, the soldiers were largely gathered under the castle.
Many of the former samurai admiring the Otomo family were wandering or returning to farming, but by his request they continued into the mortar castle.
And at the same time as the conscription, he proceeds to the surrounding territory of Ishida Fang. But that was not intended to attack the castle.
It was just the time of the rice harvest, so they attacked the countryside of another country and plundered the rice, meaning that the peasants were evacuated.
Thus Mortar Castle was regaining the same vibrancy as it had once been ruled by Sorin Otomo.
And so came to him, in the first battle of Sekigahara, the news of Tokugawa Jiayang's victory.
"What am I going to do now... Lord Tai..."
It was usually an eagle-fringed tradition, but in front of its monk, who called it Tae-jung, it was a special language.
For it was this Tae-jung, who hid what, who once again lifted the Orthodox to the tabular stage of history, who was now his right-hand man to partition all sorts of things.
The taiwan answered the inquisition of righteousness, as is normal.
"Stop Hideyoshi Toyotomi's breath... that's all you have to think about"
Yes... the conditions for Tae-jung to lend his strength to the righteous... that was "making Hideyoshi a deceased".
But there was nothing to be told about who that Tae-jun was and why he wanted Hideyoshi's death.
Nor is there any interest in such things as his identity.
His interest was, for one, "a return to the great name," and if it was to accomplish its purpose, he intended to take it away, even if it was the life of a heavenly man.
By then he would not want to go back to his former fallen self, and even if he were to wear mud, he would not cease to have that ambition.
And his eyes were as sharp as the reptiles that were after his prey, and they contained more and more black.
That's what he said with a distorted smile at Tae-jung.
"We need more strength to make Hideyoshi a deceased.
Otherwise, we don't even have to stay close.
What do you need to do to build strength? Tell me, Lord Tae-gi. "
"What would you do to put that flesh on?
and Tae-gi asked pointing to the belly of the orthodox.
"Eat... eat, eat, eat up"
"If…, you will know what to do"
"You just have to eat up... people, rice..."
"There is no need for forgiveness.
Cry and beg for mercy. "
"I know you don't have to."
That's right. Two people smiling dirty at each other.
But Tae-jun advised him another thing.
"And one more thing.
Strength means being recognized by others and having that meaning for the first time.
I'm comfortable with the fact that it's just a useless long object, such as a force no one will admit. "
"That's right... so who deserves to acknowledge my powers?
"Let's settle for the Bamboo Chiyo"
"Chiyo Takeshi? Who the hell are you talking about?
"Now, Tokugawachi Prefecture..."
"That Kanto country samurai... well, it looks like he took control of Kangahara's first battle as well... I don't know what else to do"
"To get him to admit it, he needs' merit '"
"To that end, go crush Shimazu..."
Tae Jun shook his head sideways at the words.
"Unfortunately for you now, it's not even at Shimazu's feet."
"Well... that is not very heartfelt, but let us believe in the word of the Lord.
So it's Maori? Is that my department?
"No, it's too early to leave Kyushu.
There will be... quick, crushing opponents "
Then the eyes of the orthodox stained darkness.
"Tachibana..."
"When the right time comes, don't fail to prepare to move quickly.
He... doesn't want to admit it, but he's reasonably strong. "
"Kukuku... you can call that Tachibana Somo about 'Fair'... if you let Tae-kyu tell you, Tokugawa doesn't seem to be your opponent either"
"Naturally. Every Bamboo Chiyo... I'll show you how he falls asleep after I eradicate the blood in front of him."
"Tsukima... you mean Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi..."
"Well... that's it for the chatter... to fight Tachibana, there are 'people'.
Do you have any idea?
"Hmm... a 'person' who can fight Tachibana...
I've never been there... but I don't really want to see you... "
"What are you leaking to me about being weak?
Even if they come to scratch their sleeping necks, they'll never get close to Osaka if they can help themselves. "
"Aye, ok... we'll arrange it soon"
Thus the Orthodox made him look nearby so that he could summon a single man.
And the man came to the gate of Mortar Castle in the middle of October.
………
……
"It's been a long time since I've been here!
Yes, as the old woman looked up at the castle and nostalgic, the man next door who seemed to be good said to the old woman.
"How many years has it been on my mother?
"Here! You have enough of a thing called moderation!
Don't ask a woman how old she feels. "
Yes, when the old woman said the novel, now the girl behind the man glanced at her face and said:
It is easy to tell from the good blood colour and the clothing you are wearing that the age would be about sixteen, long, matte hair, tied with your head, with no extra meat on your skinny body, but never lived in poverty.
Though not as tall, nevertheless on her small face, her large eyes, her nose and mouth, which seem to be strong, are as small as her face, an element that brings out her charm.
"Auntie, that's such a terrible thing to say!
If my aunt hadn't told me that it had been a long time, my father wouldn't have asked me that. "
"Here! Apricots (today)! Don't say things like taking people's fried feet.
The Lord has a little more sophistication… "
"Mother, it's already in front of the major gates. The gatekeeper is waiting for you."
And the young man the gatekeeper inquired of them, as if he had waited for it, as the man stood in a gentle tone to block the old woman, who was about to continue to bathe in the novel.
"Wait! This is the castle of His Royal Highness Otomo.
I want to know what you came here for!
The grumpy old woman, cut off in the middle of the conversation, came all the way up to the young man at the gatekeeper and stuck her face out all the way.
"Here! Lord! If you look at this face, even if you don't have to ask for it, it would be a thank you to put your head down!
Young people these days don't even know such courtesy!?
Yes, when the old woman inquires with a sharp glance, the gatekeeper wanders around with a troubled face.
A girl who saw it went between an old woman and a young man,
"Auntie! Times have changed now!
It was a long time ago that the beauty of Shimazu's soldiers were boned out...
If you look in the mirror, you'll see...
Auntie now, yes... while plum dried... "
And, as she told her as she shook her neck to the side, the old woman pulled out the short knife that was resting on her hips and set her up against the girl.
"Don't listen to me now!
Then he poked the lid, and the apricot took away the spear of the gatekeeper, and set it against the old woman.
"If your aunt is going to do that, it's not the kind of apricot that gets done in silence!
Before the two of them scattered such a spark, the young man of the gatekeeper was not able to do anything without hesitation, even though his spear had been taken away, and the man of the companion had not broken his serene expression, even on a one-touch occasion, saying, "It is the usual thing".
I'm trying to butt guys in stark contrast, crawl into each other's gaps, and seriously slash them, old women and girls...
The hilarious landscape was still playing under the sunny autumn sky…
After a while, a sneaky accompanying man approached the young man at the gatekeeper, whispering something in his ear.
"My name is Tomohiro Yoshioka. This is my mother... will you tell my lord that Miaolinni has arrived?
The moment I heard the word 'strange linnie', the gatekeeper's face went through the blue and turned white.
That should be it too.
Speaking of Miaolinni, because he was the bearer of a legendary background that defended only the castle for the old men, children, women and peasants, and, despite the fact that the great army of Shimazu had attacked it sixteen times, he had repelled it all, and at last, including the famous warlord, and sent it to Hideyoshi Tai, with hundreds of Shimazu soldiers at his head, and if he made it a man of the Otomo family, a woman like a hero.
With the subsequent fall of Mr. Otomo, the fact that her whereabouts were unknown must have made her rumors unnecessarily louder and made her this young man more like a divine Buddha.
The blue gatekeeper nodded small several times, trying to roll and disappearing into the castle.
"Now... we have to do something about your mother and the apricot..."
And Toyotoma took a deep sigh and took a heavy leg between them…
………
……
"He looks as good as ever, above all. Lord Herrini!
It was Yoshio Otomo who spoke in a good mood. He desperately tries to make himself look big, as Tae-jung and I did when people changed.
But seeing such a legacy, Miaolinni said with a face like crushing a bitter bug.
"As always, the Lord has eyes like lizards."
"What is a lizard... this is tough"
And, as the orthodox frowned, Miaolinni continued.
"Hmm! Can the Lord answer what to describe as a lizard, without referring to the man who deserted the castle by himself while we were desperately fighting?
This word has just the right tradition. When you turn your face blue, you panicked at the appearance of Toyotomi,
"Sorry! Do you think it's my hobby to say small novels these days because of my age..."
And, beckoning my mother, as the words of such a son anointed the fire, Miaolinni turned her face bright red and yelled and scattered.
"Here! Toyotoma! No matter how foolish you are, it's the role of the old man to keep saying it! Well, if there's a minister who says nothing about this unmanned man, let's just say it's more of an infidelity! Didn't you!?
To Miaolinni's harsh point, he blues his face and shuts his mouth, two men...
At that time, Tae-gi came into the room with a lavish laugh.
"Kaka!! This is a delightful bubba! I love this woman! Be sure to put it in our hands!
"What is this twitch?!? Look at the stomach of your first encounter." Bubba "and other disrespectful things!
Longevity Maru (about Yoshio Otomo)! Drop it now!
If the Lord can't, this strange Linni will take care of himself!
So suddenly, Weird Linni puts her hand on the short knife on her hips that she pulled out even in front of the major gate.
The apricot that sat her like that beside her, drank and controlled her.
"Auntie! Assuming it's in front of the master!
If you value courtesy more than usual, I won't let you tell me how disrespectful your actions are right now!!
The clear words of the apricot were sufficient to wrap the scene in silence, and she carefully bowed her head toward the orthodox, confirming the place of calm.
"My lord, I will see you first. Tomomatsu Yoshioka, who is here, is in Yoshioka Apricot, his daughter.
This time, it will be up to you, along with your grandmother, to ask you to once again join us in the Otomo family!
Originally, the Yoshioka family has served as the elder of the Otomo family.
On the military side, Tachibana, on the political side, separates this Yoshioka family from the Mortar family, until they are referred to as Er Toyosu.
It goes without saying, however, that it was not that Yoshioka Tomiya, but Miaolinni, who was known for his martial arts, who wanted to be summoned to the castle.
But I want one and all competent ministers. The brother-in-law gladly tried to accept it.
"Uhm! This is a good reward, not to think of!
... and at that moment, Tae-gi sandwiched his mouth from the side.
"Wait! As a condition of adding the man to the distribution, the little girl will also be added to the distribution"
Weird Linni, surprised by the words, said with her eyes open to Tae-gi.
"What!? I came all the way here to tell you something!
"... or... so there will have been no talk of the man's officer there, but is that okay?
"Guru..."
"Ka! Shut up, Bubba, but you sound like a parent of a person! If you don't have any complaints, this matter is settled! Ka!"
He was a strange Linni with a toothpick in an unsatisfactory manner, next to his politely bowing head and the apricot parent and son, but at the end of the day he was pushed by his son and grandson and reluctantly bowed his head to the prosthetic system.

Celebrating October 24, 5 -
When a letter urging him to come out of Naomi Hot Island was delivered under his system, he called the mustered warlords together and, during the sight, made his first assessment.
So he announced an amazing HR.
"Take our lead elder... as Miaolini Yoshioka! On the military and political side, ask her often for that instruction!
What a woman was appointed as the lead elder… the shock must have been immeasurable in the world of samurai, like symbolizing a man society.
But within the Otomo family, knowing her accomplishments, they did not dispute who she was alone.
But this wasn't the only HR that surprised the surroundings.
"Homeowners in politics are entrusted with Yoshioka Tomiya and Mortar Settling!
Furthermore, in the military, Yoshihiro Toshiyuki and... "
Let's just call it proper HR up to here.
And in the military, another elder family member swore allegiance to his righteousness and thought that he was either the master of martial arts, Herai Zhenzhuanzhu, or his son, Masaozhu.
But that anticipation will be betrayed brilliantly.
"Yoshioka Apricot! I command you, Lord!
Yes, when the brother-in-law appointed him, he wondered if he was surrounded by silence for a moment, and everyone on the spot spoke up more and more.
- Who is it!?
- Are you hungry from the name!?
In this announcement, everyone was drained of their liver and even the nominated apricots themselves did not block their open mouths.
I looked at the people screaming, and until then, strange Linni, who had shut up,
"Quiet!! Okay, everyone!! Here the Otomo family is reborn!!
Consider yourself useless until then in this reborn Otomo family!!
All you need is, even simplicity!
its abilities and achievements!!
My lord's announcement may change tomorrow!
Because those who do not have the corresponding merit or who do not have a proven track record will be asked to step down from that position immediately!
Return the back, it depends on your talent, whether you're a woman, a child, an old man, even a monk, a peasant, or a merchant, and take it to the executive!
Mimic the late Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi! While that other one was out of the peasants, he was found talented by Lord Nobunaga Oda and climbed up to the heavenly people at the end!
Let's look forward to seeing those who will spook my position in this Otomo family even tomorrow!
Great encouragement after all!!
The aim is the firm rebirth of the Otomo family and the origin of your lords themselves!
and proclaimed it exalted.
- Whoa!!
When everyone who was on the spot replied from the bottom of their mind, the room was wrapped in hot air at once.
That should be it too.
Men are ambitious, everyone wants to hold important positions.
Until then, however, in their society, it was rare for it to go beyond what had been established from birth.
Not to mention, it was a dream story about Hideyoshi Tai, who became a heavenly man out of the peasants.
But now, depending on your strength, that dreamy story could be real…
It may have been natural that the matter ignited their ambitions and loyal hearts.
In the meantime, the apricot whispered in a whisper as she finally proceeded to her knees to Miaolinni.
"... hey! Auntie! I have no talent or track record..."
"Ka! Never mind. The Lord may not have noticed, but from the time of his contemplation, he had been taught by this strange Linni because he was the only one in the world... and in that sense, soon after this, everyone will know."
When HR was also announced as a whole afterwards, the Orthodox next made a declaration of Tachibana Somo Crusade.
And the next day he led the army out of the castle.
