Celebrating 7 Years (1602) October 1 -

Around the time the Great War began in Kyushu, among the castle owners of Fushimi Castle, Tokugawa Jiayang brought to his side breath, rinsing with tea something like a medicine formulated by the Bureau of Tea, with a bitter face as usual.

Genuine Honta came there, but this one also came with a clear face as usual. And when I sat in front of Jiayang and Tea Bureau, I thanked him deeply.

"Thank you and be happy as you see it"

"What's an errand? As you can see, I'm busy."

Purity looked up and saw home health.

I don't feel like I have any other things to do besides make tea, especially with these kinds of letters around the house. To that appearance, Purity replied with a smile.

"This whole Kyushu thing really doesn't fall apart."

Jiayang's eyes shine sharply in its pure words.

"Well... what are you trying to say?

Relax, Jiayang asked. Purity inquired peacefully.

"I have about two, may I ask you something?

Its pure gaze is encouraging truth against family well-being.

"What? Say what you want to say quickly without wasting time."

"Okay, first of all, it's in the first place.

Why were Honda Tadashi and Sakahara Yasushi offered in this Kyushu maneuver?

It was an unexpectedly pure inquiry, but Jiayang narrowed his eyes, as if he had assumed the inquiry.

"Well... even if they ask why... we haven't reduced our troops in the battle of Sekigahara earlier... so why don't we?

"My lord... is that really all you have?

As her pure gaze sharpened, Jiayang sighed loudly.

"The Lord wants to know everything and is suspicious of anything..."

"Ha...? Is this going to lead to any suspicion...?

"Hmm! That place is as cute as ever!

And Jia Hang turns that way. To that appearance, Tea's Bureau grinned.

"Hehe, is that how you intend to tease the lord, as always?"

To the words, Jiayang, when his eyes were round as gibberish, moved his mouth against the bureau of Acha, without putting it to words.

And Jiayang frowned, as he had noticed, when he sighed loudly again.

But the next person to open his mouth was the pure one.

"Before I ask you what your lord thinks, may I say what it thinks?

"Hmm... you can do it on your own"

And I told him to throw it away, without the way he hid his grump.

"Okay, I'll say it. My lord..."

And, purity with his mouth, when he corrected his posture, he continued staring straight at Jiayang.

"Didn't the lord give the lords Tadashi and Yang-gun a 'flower path'...?

To the words, Jiayang's expression turned into a harsh one.

"What do you mean...?

And...

Honta Genuine said to flow with a smile on her mouth.

"Didn't you also say in the land of Sekigahara...

"Anything that is too old to be used can only be removed from the stage..."

and… "

Jiayang stares at purity without saying a word. Seeing that gaze, Purity shook his neck to the side.

"... is that right... you mean 'not'...

That means... "

Jiayang's gaze increases in severity.

When I tried to open my mouth about purity going on...

"Enough! Don't say any more!

Jia Kang had a drink. There is sweat on that forehead. The condition seemed as if it was in a hurry.

But the pure mouth didn't stop.

"Times have changed... so you know...

He said, "I need you to back off now."

"Don't say it! Yahachiro!!

And I turned my face bright red and yelled.

"No, let me finish."

"What!?

And when Jia Kang finally stood up, he stared at purity.

... and at that time... the bureau of Tea, which remained silent until then, opened its mouth.

"My lord, isn't it good?

Let Yahachiro finish. "

A serene tone without being overwhelmed by the atmosphere. She also rose again, gently rubbing Jia Kang's back, encouraging him to lower his back.

From home health, which also took a sigh of rest again, the intense colour could be lost, but still no stranger to the grumpy look.

Staring at how it was, Purity opened his mouth.

"... let your ancient and dear ministers and friends, Honda Tadashi and Sakahara Yasushi, know the reality and draw their own line, so that they do not pinch their extra mouths when they create a new world...

If you are asked whether it is' cruel 'or' kindness', then it is' kindness'. "

"Hmm! I can't wait to be glad your lord told me!

"My lord, don't you have to be so strong?

My lord is a kind man.

Besides, aren't you happy people, Lord Zhongsheng and Lord Yangu?

Because the Lord will give you the opportunity to realize what happened to you without anyone telling you.

And... "

That's where the word hangs up, Atcha's Bureau. She said with a gentle grin, but with pity in her eyes.

"Somewhere in your heart too, you want them to win, don't you?

No, you want me to at least not lose.

You want to see that smile forever, every time they come back victorious in battle...

You want to hear that good brag again...

But I can't do that anymore.

Because times have changed...

That's what my lord, sad, regretful, can't help it...

So when I heard about it from Yahachiro's mouth, he got angry.

Another lord, left in time with them, must have been screamed…

Your Highness...

My lord, be gentle.

And tough.

Let go of what has to be truncated, with a look of emotion, but at the end with a painful look...

Is there anyone in this world as strong as your lord...

Keep it firmly engraved on your chest, at least only for its softness and purity. "

To that extent, Atcha's bureau shifted her gaze from Jiayang to Genuine.

"Genuine, remember carefully.

It will not be noticed by anyone that the Lord will make heaven out of hardship in this way. And my lord doesn't want anyone to screw with that hardship. Because that's like the aesthetic of my lord.

But you must not forget it.

Understanding how much blood has seeped and how many tears he has drank, you must support him with all your spirits. "

To the words, purity held his mouth tight and bowed his head deeply…

◇ ◇

Turning again to the fierce battlefield of Kyushu, there was an appearance of Honda loyalty where he kept sending instructions diligently to the soldiers with a complex look on his face.

The expression is mixed with the rush to gradually reduce the number of soldiers if things don't go as far as I think they will, the endless fighting spirit that they can still fight.

And as the expression suggests, the war situation, for loyalty, was completely unexpected. But that is not why he remained pushed by his opponent, Somo Tachibana, but rather pushed his army of tachibanas into the skies behind them.

That still seems to be slashed against the willow branches, as if they are unresponsive.

If the proud horseback riders of loyalty were to make a fierce assault, they would think that they had been guided to the mud where their manoeuvres would fall by skilfully retreating to sharpen their power, and the horses would fall one after the other due to intense artillery attacks.

The attack caused the soldier to aim at the horse without aiming, slowly reducing the manoeuvrability of the loyal army.

But still a loyal victory repeatedly storming forward.

"Move on!! Show them the strength of Hondo!!

At this time, the opponent Somo Tachibana himself led 2,000 soldiers, and was also in the ranks of 2,000 Honda loyalists. The six thousand soldiers of the other Tachibana armies, each divided into three thousand, Yubu Yushin falls upon Yasukeshi Sakahara and ten o'clock Lianzhen Ao Pingjiachang.

Against Honda's loyalty of repeated assaults to the point of stupidity, Somo Tachibana transforms that formation into a deformational freedom to disable its mobility. For this reason, the formation of loyalty gradually grew vertically.

Once invincible in many wars, the strength of Honda's loyal horseback riding squad was an occasional workout, albeit called the speed of getting on and off the horse and the ability to manipulate the horse, plus individual tricks.

Zhongsheng never lacked those workouts of his own soldiers every day, even at a time when the heavens of Tokugawa were approaching and the world of war was about to end.

Because he believed that this horseback riding squad was the strongest, and he was proud to be the wall that would protect Tokugawa's world.

The Tachibana Army, on the other hand, was fighting with many of them holding artillery.

By this time, too, the artillery had been improved more than it had originally been, and taking advantage of it, they had repeatedly rehearsed their expectation that the battle with artillery would be at the heart of the world to come.

Strengthen your legs to run through the battlefield carrying artillery.

Train your hands to increase the speed of bouncing at all.

And a shooting drill to make sure it's centered...

I spared no effort to cope with the new ways of fighting the world.

The difference between the two was evident in this battle.

The Tachibana Army was shrunk down that distance just as many horseback riding squadrons came after them on horseback, but they earned a distance between getting off the horse and putting up a spear, and if it was a spear thrust from the horseback, they were all equipped with enough lightness to flicker it.

And the main multiparty that lost its horse is like an eagle with wings.

They were no longer in Tachibana Somo's surgery.

Regardless, Honda Loyalty is not too busy not realizing that. Still, he has to prove that he has never lied in his philosophy of the battle he has cultivated. Because I believed that was what it was about meeting Tokugawa's bond with Jiayang. I can enter an assault to the point of stupidity with determination that can also be regarded as that sadness.

But such his thoughts were mercilessly destroyed on the battlefield.

Many books blindly chased Tachibana's army to the detailing road that led to the summit of the Fei Mountain at some point.

- Shit! Have you been lured!!

Yes, it was the moment when a loyal victory that had been a Superior at the foot of the mountain, about the size of the army, was teething.

When I wondered if the birds that were stuck in the trees were stuck together, the bursting sound of my ears stuck to me from the mountains of the skies.

It marked the beginning of a fierce artillery attack by the Tachibana Army.

The Tachibana Squad side-by-side on the fine track carries out a series of shootings by means of "early warning". And when the soldiers on the front line finish shooting bullets, the soldiers who were holding back behind them step forward and add shooting.

Entering the enclave were only a few dozen or so of the two thousand taihua soldiers, but overwhelmed the main multitude of armies rushing up the mountains in all armies.

Many books come backwards to the foot of the mountain.

Then, retreating, the Tachibana army appeared to surround the main army, lurking in the shadows.

The state of the main army was as if the army had been invited to the mouth of a tiger in the attack of the castle.

"Speak of the Horse Riders of the heavens, you can no longer do anything like this! Everyone!! Give him the guidance!! Whew!!!

and the fire was simultaneously blown from the Tachibana Army artillery squad, along with a loud hanging of Tachibana Somo.

The soldiers of the main army are falling.

Tachibana Somo watched how it was at the foot of the flight.

- If this happens, we will retreat toward Kurumi Castle in order to re-establish our attitude...

And I was treading. However, he assumed that if the army proceeded as carefully as before against the main multitude of armies, which could already be called dead bodies, where they had taken off their places of death, they would not lose.

But...

The man named Honda Tadashi was different...

He is the son of a war, a man who lived in it and devoted his life to victory over Tokugawa.

He growls again. The voice was echoed to heaven.

"Honta is unbeatable!!! Keep going on me Yikes!!!

How dare you lead all the armies into Tachibana Somo, in the mountains, in the midst of the iron cannons being bathed like rain?

Seeing this look, Zongmao only floated a startling color for a moment.

But he's also a man of different times but living in battle.

Immediately reverting to his original expression, he let the fighting flame dwell in his eyes and raised his mouth angle.

"Lord Honda Loyal Sheng... he appeared untrue to the rumors that he was annoyed by the heavens.

Interesting! Didn't you deal with this Tachibana Somo as he crossed the border!!

Leaking to no one like this, he held one knife in each hand and set up two swords.

"Father Takahashi Shoji luck shaped on his left hand, Long Light Sword. On his right hand, his wife Tachibana Chiyo saw, Thunder cut...

With these two swords and Tachibana's pride, let's deal with them!

No!! A battle!!

And in a new era of war, Honda Tadashi and Somo Tachibana headed toward the 'one horse race', which was still like the Yuanhei period in retrograde fashion, and more like Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda if we were closer to the times.

It seemed like a fate that had been decided that this would happen since they were both called 'Undoubled Under Heaven'.

………

……

While the Tachibana Army and the Honda Army, Sakahara Army and Okipei Army were engaged in heavy fighting off Kurumi Castle, near the Yue, quietly, but one step at a time, Yoshihiro Shimazu's 10,000 troops continued to march toward the 5,000 troops of Nagata Kuroda.

It was Nagataki Kuroda, who could be described as a confident man without fear, but naturally knew the strength of "Tsujima", and I just had to laugh bitterly at the fact that its army was twice the size of my own army.

... and isn't there a big army rushing from behind him like that?

Chang Zheng saw the flag and glanced at his face while he was also relieved that the great army seemed to be an army of allies.

"Hoshikawa... I don't need your help."

Yes, that army was Tadashi Hoshikawa's army, which was consolidating behind Hideyoshi Tokugawa's army. And its loyalty.

"Hmm! There's a bug spit running about helping the Chang Dynasty, but since it's under heaven, he'll be teething, but I'll help him with peace of mind."

And, contrary to the inside of his chest, his expression remained calm and so crushed. They were known to be the same Tokugawa army, but not very close.

It was an uninteresting long term in the heart, but I acknowledge the strength of the loyal army.

For the first time, he was grateful for the advent of a comforting reinforcement, with a mighty enemy in front of him.

And... at this time the other man was also making his mind jump.

One man laughed and stared at the way this Hoshikawa reinforcement was placed on him.

"Now you're the king."

The man's name is Rushui Kuroda.

This movement of the Hoshikawa army will set in motion a measure that can be described as his last finish. For that matter, Rushui's heart was pouring. And if that measure hits, it should be a devastating blow to the Tokugawa army. When I thought of it that way, I couldn't help but suppress the leaked grin.

But that was him, but it also depends on a little anxiety.

- It's working too well...

and…

At this time, in the clear autumn sky everywhere, riding the wind from the west, the black clouds were beginning to cover, and Rushui looked up to further solicit such anxiety.

And... there was one that was approaching the land of Kurumi with the black clouds.

That's a certain big army.

No one noticed at this time that they were moving from the south of Kyushu, yet at a windy rate towards Kurumi.

Once again, that army will breathe life into the gear of history that was stopped in this battle of Kurumi...

That's a little further...
