6 Years of Celebration (1601) June Nagasaki-Yi
Even though the long rainy season was coming to an end, it was hit by continuous rains in Nagasaki.
The sky was stained with dark gray, dark as dusk, even though it was daytime.
In the meantime, one man was lying with his mouth open.
If you just look at that figure with no sign of movement at all, you can't help but think of it as a pathetic corpse of downfall.
But tears were indeed shed out of his eyes, as he lamented being a living man.
Most of all, even in this heavy rain, there is no distinction between tears and rain Shizuku, and when you think about it, this man is no longer like a raw wreck.
In fact, he is at this time in despair, exposing his soulless, shell-less body, which has even lost the energy to live, to cold, pouring rain. It was indistinguishable between living and dead even in person.
"It's... over..."
The man's name is Akashi Akashi.
He was later dubbed one of the seven stars of Toyotomi, but his brilliance was still dark, and he was surrounded by clouds of the name of various' barriers'.
Speaking of early summer, the rain relentlessly takes away his temperature. If it continues to hit the rain like this, he will truly lose that life on this occasion.
But for him now, growing raw would impose more suffering on him than he is now, and he could not find the meaning to live with it for as long as he could.
It was in that.
The rain that hits all the boards stops.
He finally returned to me at that time, focusing his eyes directly on top.
Then it was the bright red umbrella that jumped into its eyes.
Looks like someone put him under that fancy umbrella.
- If it hits too much rain, it's not good for you.
I hear voices.
That was put on all boards, no matter what.
His eyes, which nearly lost the light of all the boards to his voice, were wide open.
"... why... why..."
The words that come out are short. Well, that's everything.
Because it is the owner of that bright red umbrella…
He was the one who brought both despair and hope to all Akashi...
◇ ◇
The story goes back a little.
Around the time of the end of Keio's 5th year in October, Sansei Ishida and Sou-yong and all Akashi Deng stood somewhere in Kyo.
It is a building that once marked the height of the Toyotomi family… that is, the place where the cohesion was built.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi ordered them to build a school as a symbol of a new Toyotomi family in the land.
It was not built as a symbol of an individual's authority, but rather as a symbol of governance, so to speak, which put the life of all the people at the centre of policy.
In the world at the time, it had to be said that academia and research had stagnated, except in some areas such as artillery.
This is due to the fact that the "temple", which is supposed to be a school, and the "monks" who are supposed to be researchers, were not kept safe in warring countries.
In fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that the highest schools at the time were foothold schools in the Lower Nova countries, far from the top, and it was difficult to say that research in areas that were directly linked to the lives of the people, such as agriculture and medicine, with the exception of a very small part, was undergoing dramatic development.
Therefore, Hideyoshi aimed to ensure the safety of the researchers and ensure research institutions, as well as the spread of research in the future, to build a supreme school beyond the Ankle School in Kyoto.
Especially what excellence in knowing historical facts can be in this school.
"A blend of the knowledge of the South Barbarians and Redheads with the knowledge of the Japanese researchers"
was.
Of course, Hideyoshi himself simply thought, "I wish I had gained knowledge not in the Sun Book from Nanban or redhead". More importantly, that's all I could think of, which would be the real deal.
Regardless, where the prospect of excellence has been established at this point, it must be something no one can anticipate, such as what will be achieved.
Because all over the world the areas involved in life, such as agriculture, fisheries and so on, have developed their own, and it was difficult to say in general which cultural areas are superior.
However, there were concerns about "two guarantees" for the establishment of this college.
One is securing human resources.
The securing of persons, arguably the chairman of researchers in each area, was not an exaggeration when it came to the biggest concerns.
I wish there was a leader in the name of Hideyoshi Toyotomi who would volunteer for research himself, but the hope seemed unlimited. In particular, I could only say that the recruitment of researchers or lecturers from Nanban and redhead was difficult, even due to the flow of repression against Christians since the late Hideyoshi Tai.
Of course, even for Japanese researchers, it is now considered difficult to get them up to Kyo, with each great fame protected and scattered throughout the country, for no good reason.
Secondly, it was to ensure the safety of schools and researchers.
It should also be noted that the instruction from Hideyoshi has set the goal of actually starting the research and lecture, starting in October of the 6th year of the Celebration. Of course, the necessary costs are out of the rich. However, Zongyang and others were entrusted with the operation, and it was found difficult to ensure safety in a precarious social situation.
Of these, there were also instructions from Hideyoshi, and it was decided that all Akashi Deng would hit Batelen for securing human resources.
On the other hand, it was decided that Sosei Ishida would be responsible for ensuring safety and laying the foundations for dissemination and operation.
………
……
The season of red leaves is already over and the trees are about to be exposed without leaves in the next tough season. Occasionally blowing winds cool your body off the core as you stir the cold air in the morning.
In such an early morning, all Akashi was ready to leave Kyo, and all he had to do was wait for that time.
"Okay, I'll go. I will risk my life to fulfill this mission."
and all the lightly dressed boards bowed their heads deeply toward Zongyang.
Soo-yong stares at the state with a strange face.
"Hmm, but don't just make your life crude."
Soo-yong was "overwhelmed" with all the Deng, and was afraid of how it was going. However, All Deng is a man who summed up the home commotion of the Uchita family by himself so much that the ministerial corps broke in half, and so much so that excellence in knowing the historical facts promoted him to this talent collection. His level of competence, even if not Zong Ying, will all be about to admit it.
But anyway, he has a hard time humiliating himself. In a good way, it would be a prudent character that would never act with unfounded confidence, but worse, it could be an indestructible weakness at the heart of it because of its lack of confidence...
With some material gathered and some prospects, Soo-yong was not worried about the appearance of Shinden, which can be said to be the true opposite of the former Sansei Ishida, with the kind of ironless guns that pushed forward based on his beliefs.
Furthermore, the overly serious character of all the boards was also a source of concern for Sosei.
I tend to be the same as myself about this part, and I know exactly how that feels.
If anything were to fail in this mission, I felt so tempered that I could have lost my life myself that I accidentally came up with an earlier word.
Either way, I can't act with him, and now I can only push him on the back anyway.
Finally, Soo-yong encouraged them to be a little lighter for all the boards.
"Even here, we will strive to secure human resources, so we just have to work to the point where the Lord's power extends.
Besides, we will continue to dig up talent.
It should be borne in mind that it is not over within the deadlines laid down "
I had intended to advise him not to "put too much shoulder power" in the dark, but all Deng had unnecessarily tightened his expression and said goodbye to Soyo.
"Lord Zongyong... thank you for your words, I can't thank you enough.
Now, may we have the blessing of Lord Zeus... "
Leaving behind, all the boards stepped toward their first destination, the city of Sakami.
"Phew... I hope it works..."
And, Zongying stared at his back, taking a deep sigh and dropping him off without breaking his worrying look until he could no longer see him.
And the temporary parting of these two finally began the step of creating the future of the Toyotomi minister.
Is its future bright or dark...
That will depend on the outcome of these two struggles.
◇ ◇
"Oh, Saji. Has the entire palace left yet?
For once, Zong Ying, who returned to his service, was called out as if he had been waiting for him.
He answered with his head bowed to the Lord of his voice.
"Good morning, Master North.
Yes, all boards have already left for Sakaki. "
"This, Zogi! What is it? What's that supposed to mean?
How many times do I have to tell you to call me crazy?
"But Master Hoku... he is a public servant, so passing the old way of calling him is impenetrable"
Against a serious Zong Yong everywhere, the North Administration once sighed, put his hand on his shoulder and said:
"You are too serious.
Don't forget that the serious thing about it is that you've eaten disgust from all around you. "
"Yes, thank you very much."
"This! That kind of reply is too firm," he says.
If this is Tiger Nosuke,
"You're always so loud and hostile."
You know, it's kind of a slack. "
And, the North Administration let Kiyoshi Kato, who is now far away in Kyushu, sneeze.
And even harder, for Zong Ying,
"Well, that's the good part about you, too, but after degrees, I'm gonna repeat the same thing again.
Even if it's too much, I think the heavenly people deserve a depth of nostalgia that can make your home bigger and bigger and bigger.
His Royal Highness tatsuo, do your best to apprentice. "
And he sent his late husband, Hideyoshi Tai, out to meet him.
"Ha! I did! With all due respect, I will strive every day to be someone like this Zong Ying, the late His Highness Tai Chi!
"This! Don't be like Your Highness! That's never gonna happen! That's enough for him later and earlier."
and said something seemingly inconsistent with earlier, the northern government laughed and cautioned Zong.
"Ha..."
"Whatever it is, call me Odd, as I have always been. Let's start there. That's good.
Eat your morning meal if you like and get to work. "
"Yes! Northern government... Dear Odd!
And Soo-yong bowed his head seriously everywhere and left the spot behind.
………
……
When he finished picking up the morning stand, Soyo quickly embarked on the task of making a college.
I had already made up my mind about the number and spacing of the building. He then sought to ensure the safety of the building itself, and the territory had been built by Kato Kiyoshi, a castle celebrity.
Purity, who had worked out the concept of its territory by trying to sew between preparations for Kyushu's departure, ended up completing it on the way to Kyushu without completing it before its departure and sending it in writing for Soho.
In that writing,
"I'll drink this thank you when I get back from Kyushu."
and even contained a written statement of a certain content, and when he saw it, Sou-yong thanked him lightly,
"If that's okay with you, I'll hang out with you as much as I want. Thank you, Tiger Nosuke..."
And he groaned with a gentle smile.
Today, the popularization begins on the streets of its territory. To see how it went, Soyo decided to take a trip to that place right next to the North Administration mansion.
Hundreds of men are already working in the land, sweating under the blue skies of late autumn.
Everyone's smile was dazzling and full of joy in doing their work.
By this time, the battle had just ended, and repairs and alterations were under way all over the country. For this reason, it was thought that it would be quite difficult to gather all these people and feet, but we are now able to secure hundreds of people in front of us.
And these men are the ones who will make a significant contribution to "ensuring safety," one of the concerns of the school. In other words, after this popularization, they are also students of this college and are supposed to produce sperm as a guard.
Yes, Souyoshi Ishida has already detected this fear of "ensuring safety" since he was ordered to build the school, and in just a few moments before the completion of the territory due to purification, he gained almost nothing.
"Ooh! I'm going to get the sperm! Lord Jibu!"
And, calling Soyo in his official capacity, he heard a loud voice coming from his back. Soo-yong looked back and looked to the Lord of his voice.
His back length is six feet (180 cm), and he has a rich moustache.
The rough voice color seemed to represent his rigid personality, but his age was more than ten years younger than Zongyong's and he had smiles such as a youth who remained blue.
"Hey, Lord Oiwa. Looking good and above all.
Besides, please quit calling me that 'governorate'.
It reminds me of who I was when I was called that name. "
Of course, the term "previous self" here refers to the time before three months passed by the name of Sansei Ishida.
For him, however, it should not have been remembered as it has been in the past for a long time.
Not so long ago, he had changed both himself and the environment that held him together over the past few months.
"Ha! Was it! This is rude!
And the man, called Oishi, laughed at the humid words of such Zongyong, with his big mouth open.
But Zong Yong said to him without feeling particularly bad.
"Zong Ying, you can call me"
"Hmm, I know who you are! So, Lord Zongyong!
Let me thank you just one more time for this!
Thanks!!
Me and those guys, Hideyoshi and the Lord saved this life!
And the man, called the Great Rock, bowed his head to Zong Yong with his big back round.
"What, this one was the one who saved me.
I'd rather thank you than this way. "
And Zong Yong also bowed his head against him.
Grabbing both shoulders of that Zongong, he said.
"No, no! If you look at their glowing faces, it will be obvious which one has to bow its head.
This... I'll never forget it!
And he told him with tears in his eyes.
This man called this big rock...
The first name is "long-serving seniors".
To go back beyond this time, just a few days ago.
It was Zongying's reunion with him that inspired him to forge a strong foundation for this school.
