Celebrating 11 years (1606) March 2 -

"Tokugawa countermeasure… more importantly, it is a tactical operation of Tokugawa Jiayang!

I, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's declaration, all coloured.

Because if you look at what I have said and done so far, you are treating the Tokugawa family very amicably, and you do not see them in conflict at the moment.

A symbol of this is her marriage to a thousand princesses.

By wedding to the daughter of General Tokugawa Hideyoshi, it is no exaggeration for the Toyotomi family to say a gate to the general family.

Also, Chihime and Hideyoshi were friendly from the outside, and we all didn't think that Hideyoshi was going to consider "Tokugawa Jiayang's offense" at this point.

It was Souyoshi Ishida who drew such a line with such an amazing perimeter.

As if he had anticipated this, he behaved calmly and seemed to rejoice only with his heart.

He started questioning me to ask all my sincerity.

"Hideyoshi just thought, 'You want a friendly relationship with the Tokugawa family,' does that mean it's different?

"No, even with me, I want to stay as friendly as I can be"

"So why should Tokugawa's precautions be kept confidential in this Chamber?

Even if that discussion is going through Tokugawa, if it's a way to connect Tokugawa with Okugawa, isn't it okay to talk about it at Osaka Castle?

"Let's be clear here. We intend to continue to decide on friendly diplomacy with the great famous only at Osaka Castle.

The same is true of the Tokugawa family.

If the Tokugawa family continues to maintain friendly relations with our family, discussions to deepen the relationship will continue in Osaka Castle. "

"I see... the reason why we took" Tokugawa measures "here is that in the future Hideyoshi knew, the Tokugawa family... especially the Tokugawa family, could not establish friendly relations with Hideyoshi."

In response to that enquiry, I was stuck with words.

Because I can't talk about the future. In other words, less than a decade later, Tokugawa Jiayang is unable to tell them about the future of attracting the country's famous men to attack Osaka Castle in total.

However, I was thinking to some extent of counteracting this characteristic, which can also be described as my "weakness".

I see Yukimura Maida sitting beside me sending a signal.

And Yukimura, who noticed the signal, nodded kokuri.

"I can't say that from Hideyoshi's mouth.

But if you give it back, think the same way Hideyoshi says about the future. "

To the words, Soo-yong grinned.

"I see... that's a good idea.

Now, is it true that it was silenced by what it said earlier, at least not to a large extent?

That is, Tokugawa and Toyotomi will be hostile...

Hehe, it's about that old raccoon.

I thought that would happen someday. "

Mr Horiuchi and others looked blue in the words as if they represented the nature of Sosei.

I began to get excited, so that I could bathe in the water.

"Don't get me wrong, Toyotomi can't fight Tokugawa himself.

But General Tokugawa now binds the Daimyo, like the general of Japan.

Assuming that Tokugawa's ordinance has forced us to confront not only Tokugawa, but all the famous people in the country, it is too late to consolidate diplomacy and the military. "

Then now Princess Kofi told me to hurry ahead.

"I get it. I don't want to see you again! In any case, even in the unlikely event of a battle with Tokugawa, it would mean preparing to win.

What exactly do you do?

I answered Princess Kofi's question with a low voice.

"Armaments and Diplomacy"

"You mean stronger, more allies..."

Princess Kofi raises her nibble and mouth horn.

Then Yoshiji Otani opened his mouth.

"But in terms of increasing the number of allies, with Rushui Kuroda's meter, it didn't work."

The moment Yoshiji's words "Rushui Kuroda" appeared, the facial expressions that began to get hot quickly changed to those of sinking pain.

By this time, the death of Rushui Kuroda and the failure to gain allies in Kyushu have also been spoken of by Yukimura Maida.

He felt a strong gratitude for the water, and when he heard the story, he seemed to tear his eyes open.

And all the boards of it were also nagging with their dark faces.

But I made up my mind before my swordsmanship fight with Princess Kofi.

You can't beat history if you're in "Shapes," that's why you break "Shapes"...

The matter of Kyushu was, so to speak, an operation dedicated to its name and stage in an attempt to move forward "beautifully" if described.

But there should no longer be room for such a "clean" point.

In the first place, the reason for the invasion of Tokugawa's army in Osaka's formation, which occurs after this, does not seem to me to be as "beautiful" as there are claims.

If so, I'm not into "clean" either. That's not how it seems to be done.

I said something about a plan. But it was like draining the surrounding liver.

"Take Tokugawa to your side to fight Tokugawa"

"Nah... what..."

And even Souyong Ishida, the boulder, when he blues his face in amazement, even Hiroshi Kwai, who has barely broken his expression before, opens his eyes wide.

And Xuanton Osaki asked in a quiet tone, trying to hide the confusion in his chest.

"Lord Hideyoshi. What the hell do you mean... tell me"

In response to that inquiry, I tried to speak poorly about the future, and to avoid an example seizure, I tried to pick a word and started speaking slowly.

"Before I explain that, first of all, the difficulty of having 'Daimyo other than Tokugawa' on my side will no longer be proven in the matter of Kyushu earlier"

Princess Kofi snaps at the words without getting a haircut.

"But that's why I'm taking 'Tokugawa' to my side, which I can only say is impossible, right?

I answered carefully again.

And this is the liver.

If we get through this part of the world, we should be able to talk about it all at once.

"This is only a guess, but can the Tokugawa family say that there is only one rock at a time"

"What do you mean?

When Princess Kofi strangled her, Yukimura spoke for me.

"Let's just say that in Hideyoshi's knowledgeable future, the Tokugawa family could never be perfectly put together."

"I see... Happy Village is a handy guy! Ha ha!!

And where unwanted, Princess Kofi laughs admirably.

And I went on. Souyoshi Ishida returned the words to me.

"I have a strong tendency to be biased towards my own child, especially in Lord Jiayang"

"That is, divided between those who are beloved and those who are not..."

"Oh... close to you, can you say that Hidekang Noboru and others are sorry for Hidekang, but were not particularly loved at an early age"

Everyone is nodding at the words.

That should be it, too. It was rumored that Hidekang Noboru and Jiakang Tokugawa had finally reconciled these days, but Hidekang still treats me like a family when he comes to Osaka Castle where I am from time to time, drawing on his own child, Tadashi Matsuhei.

If Tokugawa and Toyotomi are asked which is tied with stronger ties, I think Hidekang himself will probably answer "Toyotomi" as well.

He said with a smile as Soo-yong nostalgic as he patrolled like that.

"So it depends on the fact that you were adopted by His Highness Tai Chi.

Heh heh, it's been a long time since Lord Hideyoshi had a sumo with Tiger Nosuke and the others in the small family name group. "

"I think I am an adopted child to show that Lord Jiayang is caring for my son or treating him coldly."

"Hmm... that is, the child of Jiayang, who is being treated cold, is sent out to the 'adopted child'..."

Mr. Horiuchi made a loud bluff at Sousuke's words, which had remained largely silent until now.

"Lord Matsuhei Chung-hye!!

I nodded.

Yes... I've thought about it, who's trying to be on my side...

Zhonghui Matsuhei...

For Tokugawa Jiayang's six men, he is now Shinano Kunikawa Nakajima's 120,000 stone daimyo.

He had been kept away from Jia Kang for reasons such as "his face resembles Shinkan Tokugawa, the eldest son of the abominable Jia Kang" and "he was born to twins and therefore has no luck".

I'm not sure until the real reason I'm being kept away, but he's also not allowed to name the "Tokugawa surname," even though he was sent out as an "adopted son" by the Matsuhei family of Nagasawa, who didn't have any children, and is allowed to name the "Matsuhei surname," just like Hidekang Nojo.

Furthermore, it seems only true that they have been treated cold anyway, such as being forced to change the country over and over again, as has been conveniently done by General Tokugawa in the past few years.

I laid eyes on it.

"There are two advantages to abbreviating Tokugawa.

One is that it is difficult to representatively punish an abbreviated person even if the abbreviation is exposed.

No way, like in Kyushu, you can't have a great army to succeed or lose. "

"Sure... then Tokugawa will attack Tokugawa."

And this one also opened its mouth to the ever sluggish Guiguang Traditional.

When I raised the corner of my mouth to that word, I went on.

"The next advantage is easier access to Tokugawa privileges"

"For example...?

Souyoshi Ishida even replied to that question of Princess Kofi.

"We may be able to get around to procuring artillery, using ports and even trading with exotic countries"

Around this time, Tokugawa Shogun had already begun to tighten to each great name.

A typical of this is the limitation of the access route for artillery.

It is beginning to narrow its domestic production base to the direct jurisdiction of Tokugawa, and procurement from exotic sources is almost exclusively in place. As it stood, the following year, in the year of the Celebration 12 (1607), the Shogun would take the form of complete control over the procurement of iron cannons.

In that case, I do not think it will be easy to procure artillery that might be pointed at the Tokugawa family against Toyotomi, who still do not intend to take the courtesy of his subordinates.

Along with the procurement of that artillery is the production of bullets.

The procurement of the nitrous stones that serve as that material is most quickly imported from exotic countries. But the shogunate is also monopolizing those procurements.

Imports from South-East Asia, particularly from Sham (about future generations of Thai countries) and Cambodia, are already oligopolistic from around last year.

It was possible because the shogunate controlled the use of the port and trade with the exotic.

"That means that once you succeed in tuning, it's harder to get your hands on it, and it's much easier to procure weapons..."

And, Princess Kofi nodded as impressed, everyone on the spot nodded as well.

And I kept going with my mouth up.

"That's not all. Even in Tokugawa, having Chung-hye Matsuhei on your side has another great advantage."

The words are dyed red for excitement as Soo-yong's face looks at them.

He apparently figured out the advantage, and I told him to crush it.

"It's... Dada Politburo..."

When everyone on the spot again lost their words to surprise, I kept picking words.

"Abbreviating Chung-hye Matsuhei is likely to reduce your distance from the Dada political sect"

"In the fourth year of the celebration (1599), Goro Hachi, daughter of the Dada Sect, and Lord Chung-hye Matsuhei are engaged, but do you mean that the wedding is in the near future…"

When I answered the words of Zong Ying in a silent manner, Zong Ying laughed and nodded at the appearance.

With a sharp expression, Mr. Goodness blurts and crushes.

"If you can connect with Dada, a Northeast male, things will change considerably..."

While everyone nodded at the words, now all Akashi opened his heavy mouth.

"But if all of a sudden you get close to Lord Chung-hye Matsuhei, you will also be ashamed of Lord Tokugawa. How do you intend to get close?"

Until recently, he has persuaded various researchers that the difficulty of approaching a particular person must be clear to him.

Such a sense of reality came from the verses of words.

But...

On that point, I was grabbing one thread.

In fact, last year, in Keio 8 (1605), Chung-hye Matsuhei was visiting Osaka Castle together as a celebration of my inauguration as Minister of the Right, and he and I already know each other.

Of course, I don't really expect it to be a thread just because I looked at each other once.

However, I was finding the thread in this interview.

It's...

It was the proximity he brought.

"How about the proximity of Zhonghui Matsuhei... i.e. through the elderly, if you try to get close"

And I threw one inquiry at the Tabernacles, like a stone to the surface.

And it was Yukimura Maida who ate up the inquiry as soon as possible.

"Is it Lord Okubo...?

I smiled at the unexpected reaction of Yukimura.

"He's a man with a lot of good rumors..."

And snapped.

Continue with Soo-yong smiling as he continues after that crush.

"Grab that tail and hand it over..."

"Is it connected to Zhonghui Matsuhei every day..."

And I tightened it.

"In other words... grasp the weakness of Chief Okubo An and approach Chung-hye Matsuhei.

And in the wake of the brilliant success of the tune, he said that the connection to Tokugawa, the procurement of weapons, and the Dada political sect could be made... is that what you mean?

To Princess Kofi's words, beautifully summed up that way, I gave instructions out loud when I had a full grin.

"Exactly!! If there is no objection to this connotation, we will move quickly!! Yoshiji!!"

"Ha!!

"The Lord, along with the Misty Hidden Talent Zone, will go beyond, and let's explore Chief Okubo!

"Yes!!

"The deadline ends in August. Okay?"

"Yes, sir."

Thus the 'typographical' maneuver of finally approaching the son of Jiayang Tokugawa opened the curtain.

Actually, this is going to have a big impact on the unexpected...

I can't imagine that either, it was just a story away.

And, of course, the meeting was not going to end with just this contrivance.

Assuming the Osaka formation happens, because Chung-hye Matsuhei is not allowed to join that Osaka formation and cannot be calculated as a force of war.

His schematics are likely to remain solely the prospect of what Princess Kofi said earlier.

In other words, this is the only weakness.

More, it will be difficult to defeat Tokugawa Jiayang with the gear of history on his side if he doesn't move.

So I decided to move on to the next agenda.

It's...

"It's about armaments next!

Yes... it was about increasing military power.
