7 Years of Celebration (1602) Chunkyushu -

As Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Jiayang's moves against Kyushu became hasty here, intense discussions were also held daily at Toyotomi Mortar Castle, which is precisely one of its stages.

However, it is not difficult to imagine that this is not a debate on territorial governance, where each great name should be given the highest priority. With Tomoshi Yoshioka (Okuma), who became the chief minister, laying down good governance in one hand, 50,000 Toyoko Shi improved his national power in the past year.

Of course, there would have been a great deal of cooperative attitude on the part of the people who were delighted with the reconstruction of Mr Otomo, a prestigious house in Kyushu. It goes without saying that the gathering of peasants who cultivate nature and fields and the townspeople who traverse the castle towns blessed with shipping has also greatly benefited the territorial management of the Otomo family. And it was not only the people, but also the host of the prisoners who had overflowed after the Battle of Sekigahara, and the country was being developed, as well as its military capabilities.

And this day, without exception, discussions continued even around the Lord's Oomori brotherhood.

"Temple of Tae-hyun. Has Daihachi Okamoto been seen as a messenger to Lord Hondo, but has he driven it back?

And Yoshioka Apricot (Oka Today), who is now in the position of the Otomo family's warrior, must have raised his eyebrows and stuck with Tae. But Tae-gi answers just fine with such an apricot irritation and other strange faces.

"What's wrong with that?

The way it looked, for the young apricot, seemed to be oil in the fire, further strengthening the tone of his voice.

"There's nothing wrong with you or these things! Then it's as if you pulled a bow on Lord Tokugawa!!

Tae-jung answers to such apricots without changing the tone of his voice when he turns a cold eye.

"Shut up... I'm not declaring war, I'm just making too much noise by sending letters reconciling with Tachibana and joining forces with Kyushu famous people."

"Become... what a shallow thought... auntie! Say something!!

Apricots dyed his white cheeks red because of indignation, and pointed the spear tip of the word at his grandmother, Myorin. The strange Linni, with the usual expression, asked for Tae-gi.

"Well, Tae-jun has something on his mind, too. Why don't we hear that?

… depending on its content, you can't just... "

Even the words of Weird Linni, which can be described as threats, do not change Tae Yi's expression one by one. From there, it is possible that his actions were through a thick core within himself.

Tae-jung then began to state the idea in a troublesome tone.

"First of all, it is reconciliation with Tachibana...

Needless to say, the Tachibana family is the minister of the Otomo family if they correct their origins. Now that the minister is in a predicament, what question can there be of throwing aside the roots of evil and joining hands "

The apricot pinched its mouth unintentionally on the words.

"However, our Otomo family made the reconstruction of your home through the ruling of Lord Tokugawa. Help the defiant Tachibana family against its great-grand Tokugawa lord is the same as pulling a bow against Tokugawa lord!

"Listen to people till the end! My little girl!"

and taiwan showers an apricot with a drink that shivers the air. But his eyes on the apricot taiwan remained unchanged.

Tae-jung continued to ignore the gaze.

"It is not our Otomo family that is now facing Tokugawa, but the Tachibana family. Whether to accept humiliation and bend your knees as it is, or whether you can fight a battle ready for jade crushing, is a matter of Tachibana.

If you choose to surrender, work on Tokugawa so that Tachibana will not be taken from you, and if you are prepared to fight a battle, work on Somo Tachibana, the Lord, not to let you...

That would be the way to reward the Tachibana family for their loyalty to our family from time immemorial!

And in order to do so, why don't we show a friendly attitude towards Tachibana!

"But! Then why keep the messenger of Lord Tokugawa away!!

Tae-jung does not answer that question.

Instead, I turned to her and told her to spit it out.

"... little girl... your lord is oblivious to something called politics... you can't speak any more. If you're going to pinch an extra mouth, get out of here and train your soldiers!

Less so, the apricot opens its eyes wide, with two things on its face: surprise and anger.

To cover her like that, Yoshihiro Toshiyuki (Yoshihimura Yuki), a heavy town on the military side of the Otomo family as well as her, asked Tae-gi in a gentle tone.

"Lord Tae-gi, indeed, the Apricot Lord is still young and may be oblivious to politics. But I am ashamed to say that there is a verse that does not reach the thoughts of Lord Tae-hyun, whose servant is an old bone.

I was wondering if you could tell me for the rest of school. "

In response to the inquiry, Tae-jung sighed loudly, haha, and saw Yoshio Otomo, the rightful owner. As the eunuch said, "I have no choice," he nodded against Tae-yu, turning to Tong-yu, and speaking in his own mouth.

"I'll tell you what Lord Tae-gi thinks.

Now each great name stretches its information against the major castles as if it were a net.

As for this mortar castle, it will be that not only Shimazu and Tachibana, but also Tokugawa's interior and exterior, are diving in.

In other words, every move that takes place in the castle is likely to be outrageous to anyone.

In that premise, if our Otomo family were to find out that they had happily accepted the Messenger of Lord Tokugawa, Tachibana and Shimazu would not have good feelings for us.

That's ruining the trust we're getting back in the corner.

You know that, right?

"But that would make the relationship between Lord Tokugawa and our family worse"

"It doesn't matter if the appearance is taken that way. Because it's easier to get close to Tachibana and Shimazu.

On the other hand, is it by now the time a messenger dressed as a merchant arranged by Lord Tabara arrived at Fushimi Castle with a letter from Lord Tokugawa...

Wouldn't it? Lord Tahara. "

"You're right. Tae-jun said, 'There is no will to rebel against Lord Tokugawa. We are aiming to approach Tachibana and be respectful to His Highness Tokugawa'. We have sent a letter to the Tokugawa Inner Prefecture."

"Even that move, fear of being taken into account...?

Shao Shinobu answered the question of Tongxiao.

"It's unlikely that... Tachibana the boulder, Shimazu, we can't monitor each merchant's entry and exit."

"I see..."

And the Orthodox continued.

"The letters we're sending to each of Kyushu's great names mean pretty much the same thing.

Otherwise, it will be sent to Matsuura and others who are absolutely respectful to Lord Tokugawa. "

Then Tae Jun pinched his mouth from the side of the orthodox.

"If you've talked that far, you can tell us everything now, Your Highness."

"Mmm... was it..."

"What would that be...?

On the spot, Yoshihiro Toshiyuki, Yoshioka Apricot, Miao Linni, and Shao Ninja Tahara took a breathtaking peek at the stepface of the mysterious appearance.

When I breathed, the orthodox said something amazing and changed their expression.

"The letter to each of the great names itself is at the behest of Lord Tokugawa"

"What... what!!?

I even lost the apricot word that didn't break my temper in this matter.

"Oh... what is that..."

Tae-jung replied to that.

"There will still be people in this Kyushu who say, 'I did not bend my knees completely to Tokugawa'.

Together with the Tachibana and Shimazu arrangements, Tokugawa Jiayang intends to wipe out such people.

Hmm, nowhere to lose sight, raccoon...

I didn't know you were going to use us to blur that treason bud...

Maybe there's someone by his side who's familiar with counter-insurgency. "

Yes, the current dynamic diplomatic move of Yoshio Otomo was in fact directed directly by Genuine Hondo, based on the intentions of Jiayang Tokugawa.

Tokugawa Jiayang thought that there was no reason to send the second Tachibana or Shimazu out of Kyushu. That is, for one thing, because we are too far from his home base, Edo, which involves difficulties in giving us a direct hand. To that end, he intended to use this opportunity to punish the great celebrities who had made a slightly suspicious move. Then, discovering the subject was entrusted to Yoshio Otomo, who had rapidly approached Jiayou since the Battle of Sekigahara. It should be noted that the matter was, in other words, top secret under the heavens, without even knowing Daihachi Okamoto, a genuine minister.

What's more, using the matter, Tokugawa Jiayang put an exploration into the connection between Yoshio Otomo and Toyotomi on that New Year's Eve occasion.

In other words, it appeared to be "the motion of Otomo's discretion," and he saw the reaction.

Jiayang had detected that Tachibana and Shimazu were likely to connect with Toyotomi in some way, which was the move of Rushui Kuroda and Kiyotomi Kato in the Battle of Yanagawa Castle. And it was no longer Jiayang's knowledge that Toyotomi was beginning to leap in an effort to desperately stop Tachibana and Shimazu from surrendering. But for that reason, Jiayang did not know what kind of movement he was making, or, furthermore, what other than Tachibana, Shimazu, and Kiyotomi Kato were moving to spread their hands and gain allies in Kyushu. So he confirmed firsthand what the Toyotomi reacted to by showing Otomo's movements.

As a result, Jiayang speculated that Toyotomi is not cooperating with other celebrities other than Tachibana and Shimazu at this time.

"Each one of us is concerned that this movement will bring peace and stability to Kyushu. But don't tell anyone about this."

and the Orthodox nailed everyone on the spot to finish its reputation.

And Yoshitoshi and Tae-jun became two in the room.

The previously heated indoors quietly return.

As the silence was broken, the righteous questioned Tae-jung in a low voice.

"... were you glad to reveal it?

"Now what... and it's about time"

"Approximate...?

When the orthodox looked at her strangely, Tae-jung replied with a chilling look.

"Anyway, it's something to tail... is it? My goddess."

"Ma... no way... Lord..."

"Kukukuku... you've been with me for a long time, so it looks like you're finally getting better at guessing."

"Why!? Why do you have to hang up!?

And, the orthodox inquires about Tae-jung in a desperate shape. But Tae-jun answered with the same cold expression.

"It's a simple story... they knew too much"

"But you can tell me, isn't it Lord Tae-jung who said!?

"My goddess. The Lord knows. Whenever the Lord moves something, he asks for an explanation of why and what his great name is. The slightest of them.

The pawns were like pawns, and if they had moved so much as the Lord said, they would not have been cut off. "

"But they..."

"What? Are you gonna tell me it's part of Otomo's body? Shit.

Cut the hair if it gets longer. Grind if nails stretch. It shall be the same for a man's body.

If you had any pity for a pawn, you'd have it.

The Lord may also learn with his own hands.

The end of those who know too much… "

"When... do...?

Tae-ho's face is always ugly and distorted, with a creepy cold smile on his mouth.

"Don't worry. Not immediately…. I still have a use for it."

"Oh well..."

The orthodox has no heart or a relieved look on his face. But Tae-jun said to him coldly.

"Look, even if you're wrong, don't imitate them with pity and let go.

Try running into Tachibana, Shimazu, or Toyotomi, even one of them.

It is our Otomo who will be cut from Tokugawa like his tail.

We must also try to be part of Tokugawa now.

I mean, now they're standing on too thin ice. With one of those raccoon fingertips, if you don't want to be torn at its feet and fall to the bottom of Naruto again, just shut up and do as I say.

Their fate has been decided by today's events...

"Death."

"Temple of Tai Chi..."

The orthodox clouds his face and nags as he perceived. Then Tae-jung laughed high as he slapped his shoulder of such a legacy.

"Kukukukuku... Toyotomi and Tokugawa... in my hegemony, all you have to do is stand beside me and see that it is only a stone by the road.

And be proud to be on my side, and to see a future that will lift them to the Blood Festival. "

Tae-jung left the room intact.

The legacy left behind lips regrettably.

"This wasn't supposed to happen..."

The position he is now in was far from what he had in his ideals.

- I want to reclaim my abundant country and create a richer country than when my hateful father built it.

Such pure and simple thoughts only seemed to be trampled upon by those in power at times such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Jiayang.

And a man named Tae-jung... I felt sorry for myself that I could only shake my tail in that too big vessel that was too scary, but I didn't even feel afraid of Tokugawa or Toyotomi.

Undesirable thoughts, he can put into a fist that hits the floor.

"Someday… must…"

The invertebrate spirit planted in him more than at an early age continued to slap the cage of his heart at this time…

◇ ◇

Meanwhile, back then...

Even in Satsuma country, a loud voice was echoing in the room.

But the voice, unlike that of the abundant nations, was somewhere to mourn and grieve.

"Whoa, whoa!! Uncle, why are you so close to Otomo? That's impossible!

And, toward the back of Yoshiku Shimazu, who was fumbling in reading, he was speaking with a spit, Tadahiro Shimazu. He is the son of Yoshihiro Shimazu, the current Shimazu head of the family, and is the next generation of the master. Zhongheng was Yoshihiro's older brother and predecessor Yoshihiko Shimazu, who holds the real power of the Shimazu family, to approach the Tokugawa family before the battle of Sekigahara began.

However, Yoshiku had moved only to think that approaching Tokugawa was rather reinforcing the anti-Tokugawa colour by acquiescing to Tachibana's aid by Yoshihiro or approaching Otomo, who reconciled with that Tachibana.

Zhongheng, uncomfortable with the move, has been obliged to ask directly about it.

But even as Zhongheng raised his voice, Yoshiku was immersed in reading with his back turned.

"Hey!! Uncle!! When it gets inconvenient, is it not good!!? You won't have that!!

Keep it up, you'll really piss Tokugawa off!

It's my uncle's responsibility when it happens!! Oh! I don't care what happens anymore!!

Yoshiku shut the book down all the time, whether he cut the numbness to the words of Zhongheng, who was too loud.

But without showing his face, he said to Zhongheng.

"O Zhongheng... let me only advise you one thing"

To that too low a voice, Zhongheng heard his bright red face earlier, blued abruptly.

"Nah... why should I?

"If someone who can't take responsibility for everything snaps too close to his neck, it's an accident."

In that prolonged word, something cold runs on Zhongheng's back.

Not long ago, the Shimazu family had various home disturbances, but at that time the inexplicable death of ministers and their families followed. Zhongheng knew that it had been a long time since he had publicly treated them all as' accidents'.

For this reason, this long-standing advice implied that when Zhongheng gave him extra hand, it was not strange what happened to him.

"Well, well, well, that can't be happening… rather, what I don't know is that your home is in danger."

And, Zhongheng is still strong, but his voice is completely inverted.

"Those who know too much will be slashed away... like the tail of all things..."

"Uncle, do you even call me a tail!?

"It's not just the Lord. It's not strange that the Shimazu family itself is a tail if you look under the sky.

But... "

"But...?

"If you know too much, but not your tail, your hands and feet… it's hard to cut them off so easily.

Are you confident you can be the hand and foot of the heavens?

"Hey, what the fuck! I have no idea what that heavenly limb means!!

I finally looked back on the words.

Thin eyes, like lines, are open or even blurry. But a definite glance overwhelmed Zhongheng.

"It means the way it is. It's just enough to play a role in shaping the way things work under the sky."

"Hey, hey, what the fuck! Oh! I'll do it!! I don't know what it is, but if I care about it, there's nothing I can't move!!!

Yoshiku said, staring with a pitiful grin at Zhongheng, who would get a rash and exaggerate, gently but with cold inclusions.

"So have you ever moved the feelings of a turtle?

"Huh..."

In that inquiry, Zhongheng solidified.

A tortoise is a princess named Tortoise, who is the daughter of Zhongheng in the main room. The face was a living copy of his father, Shizuku, and no matter what words Zhongheng uttered, there was just never a change in his smiling, energetic expression.

"If you can't seem to move your turtle's heart either, worry that you won't even be allowed to welcome other women into the side room. Now the Lord is an immature man who can even satisfy himself with moving his wife's heart."

"Grunt!! Remember!! I don't know if Tokugawa's eyes hurt me later!!

and Zhongheng left the room in tears.

Feeling that on his back, Yoshiku went back to reading again, and he leaked a word.

"It's connected to Tokugawa... Otomo..."

Time for a long time of reading passes quietly.

Then quietly one man walked into the room and came all the way behind his sister-in-law.

"Would you like to call... Hideaway"

Shizuku welcomed him with a cool smile when he looked back instantly, unlike at the time of Zhongheng.

"You've come a lot. Prosperity… Thank you."

The man, Arimoto Yamada (or still is), was one of the actors who successfully defended our Lord Yoshihiro Shimazu in the earlier Sekigahara match, ready to die, and "Shimazu's Exit".

"Thank you. It's in your words. As you can tell, my lord told me a lot. For mourning Toyoku-sama..."

"Heh heh, good for you. You did it. But for no other reason than the death of your Lord's twin brothers… I sincerely apologize."

and Yoshiku bowed his head to prosperity.

"There is no annihilation. We hope that this is important for the future of the Shimazu family. Therefore, we hope that you will be able to help Hideaway even if he is still dead..."

"Heh heh, your lord is a good owner of instrumentation. It is still a great joy to ask the Lord to do this."

"Thank you. It's in your words. And what exactly is the matter?"

Then Shizuku, when he had done so, approached the side of Arizona, whispered and commanded him in his ear.

"I want you to go look down"

And Yoshiku softened the book for himself into a prosperous nostalgia.

That book with all his instructions...
