Reincarnation Life to Toyotomi Hideyoshi Beginning with the Adversity of the Successor of Tai Chi (formerly known as: The Dream of Tai Chi - Reincarnation War to Toyotomi Hideyoshi Beginning with Adversity)

◇ ◇

Celebration 11 (1606) March 29 -

In fact, after leaving Tsingzhou Castle, I moved with Migawa Kookazaki Castle, Tongguo Yoshida Castle, Toyoe Kohama Matsu Castle, Sungawa Sunfu Castle and Aimo Kodawara Castle, but everywhere the castle owner was on Edo, and without such an encounter, on this morning, I, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his line, who left Okinawa Castle, ruled by Hondo Masayoshi, were finally steadily approaching Edo, home of Tokugawa Jiakang.

- Here we go! Finally, Edo!

There are three main reasons why I came to visit Edo.

Will all three of them be accomplished...

He went east on Tokaido, suppressing a loud heartbeat and still sparkling his eyes at expectations.

And finally...

"Lord Hideyoshi!! Finally! I finally see you!! It's in Jiangcheng!!

"Ohhh!! Is that so!! No! It's a fine castle!!

The magnificent figure of Edo Castle, which we will say in future generations, finally appeared in front of us.

Around this time, it was still in the middle of the popularity of the heavens, and the entire contents of it were still under construction, but the five layers of the Tenshi Palace could be clearly confirmed with this eye, so it felt just as innumerable.

As we entered the land of Edo along Tokaido, we first saw a large pond on our left.

Strangely staring at the pond, the chatty Shigechan Itakura came by and spoke well against me.

"Lord Hideyoshi. What you can see over there is' Akasaka Don't ', in the Akasaka Pool. It's also used as water for Edo."

"Well, but Lord Chong-chang lives in Kyo, but you know him well."

When I said it like I was impressed, he kept his mouth shut, not saying "outside the heart".

"It's obvious! This body is in Kyoto, and my heart is always with you, so it is up to me to keep Edo at bay!

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

"Lord Hideyoshi, by the way! Until recently, the land where Lord Hideyoshi is now progressing was the sea."

"Holy shit!? Are you serious?!

When I was surprised and my eyes were rounded, Chongchang told me whether the reaction was pleasant or not.

"At the time of the popularization of Edo Castle, the superior was ordered by each great name to cut off the mountain called Kandayama as it was.

It buried a land called the Hibiya River here in its earthen stones. "

"I shredded the mountain... that's amazing..."

And as Tokaido continued along a large moat leading to his left, he saw a single bridge.

"This is in Nihonbashi!

"This is Nihonbashi..."

"Yes! It is a bridge built two years ago as the starting point for the Fifth Avenue. This is the heart of the city of Edo, if you will."

"Uhm... I see..."

Is it something like the heart of Tokyo where future generations say it?

But at this time, building a city seems to have just begun. Even the houses were sparse and it was difficult to say that they were very busy.

And countless boats dock along the river where the Nihonbashi Bridge takes place.

The moment I looked at him, Chong-chang came out of his mouth.

"That's the boat that carries salt from virtue."

"Salt..."

"Yes! Water and salt are still the most important things to live for. The Great Sovereign first built a city based on these two guarantees.

And now that we have that vision, we are focusing on strengthening the defenses of Edo Castle and even building the city where the townspeople live. "

"I see..."

Incredibly from modern Tokyo, the still vast wetlands continue east of Nihonbashi.

Apparently, the periphery and north side of Edo Castle are only slightly higher up and called "The Hand of the Mountain," with the main mansions of the Great Famous.

Because it is beneath its mountain hand, this seems to be called the "Lower Town," where the townspeople and the less busy samurai and deputies live.

However, when the lower town is also a place where there is no concern about water, it seems to be quite limited, such as the place where Hibiya Inlet was buried, which has just been done, and is less complete than Sakami and Kyo.

It was easy to imagine from the looks of it that the development of that lower town was still not in progress, which would still be a river problem.

The slightest increase in water intensity is likely to soak a side of the water around the area, so much so that the unwrought river plains continue.

Perhaps once this one is in place, this place called Lower Town will be overflowing with people at once.

Now, while we were on such a tour, we went straight down the road that had just been built from Tokaido to Edo Castle in front of Nihonbashi.

Then I saw a big gate in front of me.

"It's at the big gate over there! Come on, we're almost to the castle!!

Yes, it was the moment Chongchang said.

"Ooh!! Master Hideyoshi!!

I heard a loud, overheard voice.

And a big body man I'm used to seeing is shaking his right hand and smiling at us.

It's...

"Purity Hall!! Oh!! I kinda miss it!!

Yes, it was Kiyoshi Kato.

Apparently he knew in advance that we would be visiting Edo, waiting in front of a major gate.

And I'm right, it's been a long time since I've seen him face to face.

In fact, since the Toyota Festival, we haven't seen each other in about two years.

For the past two years, he has been devoted almost exclusively to the popularity of the castle on Edo.

Although there was of course a convenient reason for him to be so talented as to build a castle, I wonder if it was the purpose behind it to keep him off Osaka… i.e. away from me.

In other words, avoid getting involved in the movement on the Osaka.

More importantly, he intends to seal Kiyoshi in Edo in order to keep him from clinging to General Tokugawa's house.

At present, he has not been conveyed the contents of the ministerial meeting held at the school in Kyo or the evaluation at Osaka Castle.

In this state, it is almost impossible to ask him to use his power as a member of the rich family.

However, the elimination of this state of affairs was the first objective of the visit to Edo.

I decided to move it to quick execution.

That said, obviously if he and I had a meeting in the Chamber, the matter would happen to be exposed to Jia Hao, and regardless of its content, the suppression of purity would be more severe.

And every surveillance eye on me must be tough, especially here in Edo.

In other words, it is more than just Kiyosei, he is likely to be blamed for even contact with other Daimyo such as Yukio Asano and Hideaki Ikeda.

It should be noted that all of the accommodation in this visit was the castle of the Daimyo of Tokugawa Spectrum because, for one thing, "there is no fear of insider contact," and that the itinerary was actually decided with Jiayou during the visit to Tokugawa Jiayou's two-article mansion.

So I decided to take it backwards...

I mean, I decided to go backwards and focus my surveillance eyes on me.

To make that happen, we offered you two sides this time.

No, it's more like "I've been visiting Edo as their offering" so that they can both approach Purity unnaturally.

In other words, in order to inform Kiyoshi Kato about Osaka's situation, I became the watchdog myself.

When I look around, Akashi and Kofi come to the front of the purity.

And all Deng spoke to Purity on behalf of him.

"Lord Kato. Long time no see."

"Oh! Lord Akashi! Besides, Lord Kofi!

"Best wishes for today"

"Oh! During my stay in Edo, I hear talk of sleeping at my mansion.

Because I don't mind you using it like your own mansion!

"This is unusual. Now, I'd like to leave Hideyoshi to Kofi to get his luggage to Kato's mansion as soon as possible, but can you show him around?"

"Oops! I got it!! But Lord Akashi, before I look at it for a second, has been a good chatter for a long time!

I only used to say one word or so about '... never mind'! haha!!

So with a great laugh, Qing Zheng, with all the boards, walked away toward the Mansion of Qing Zheng in the hand of the mountain.

In this way, I decided to put Akashi Nobunaga and Kofi Himeshi to sleep in Kato Kiyoshi's mansion during their stay in Edo.

If all the boards were to come to Edo alone and stay in the Mansion of Purity, that would be suspicious.

But if you visit Edo as my offering and have no mansion in Edo, it should come as no surprise to rent a genuine mansion.

And when they saw the gap during their stay, they decided to pass on from their mouths the contents of the Tabernacle Meeting and the reputation, as well as instructions from me to Purity.

What is that instruction from me...

- Be back in Kumamoto early next year (1607)!

It was.

What is the reason…

- Next summer, I will go to Satsuma with Lord Kiyoshi. Get ready for that!

It was...

………

……

Now, after Kiyoshi Kato led all Akashi to his mansion, me and Chihime, who came down from the driver's cage, and Princess Kofi, two Chihime samurai, continued to be taken by Shigezo Itakura and the brothers of Chongchang, to the main circle of Edo Castle.

And it was then that we went on for a while.

"This is the Right Minister of Toyotomi! Master Chihime! Welcome!!

It was someone I had never seen who smiled and picked us up.

He is a man with a rare, bearded, clean and refreshing face in this day and age. Is my age in my mid-twenties or something like that?

The same seemed true, of course, of the thousand princesses next to me, with a Kyotong face.

Then the man, who came all the way before us, gently bowed his head to us.

"My name is Kaga Okubo Shouyoshi! Best regards,

The moment I heard the name, I opened my eyes unexpectedly.

"Oh my... your lord was Lord Okubo..."

As much as my surprise, Princess Kofi accidentally pokes me off my back.

It goes without saying, of course, that it was a warning that "you'd be a lot more surprised than that".

But I couldn't contain the excitement.

"Ooh!! Lord Okubo! Was your lord the Lord Okubo!!

I shouted so loudly that I accidentally took his hand and turned my full grin.

He is Tadashi Okubo. At this time, he was waving his spicy arm as a side near General Tokugawa Hideyoshi along with the Toi victory.

It is certainly a delicacy in history.

But more than that, this unexpected encounter meant a lot.

Because…

Meeting this Okubo loyalist and having a connection with him...

Because this was one of three purposes.

"And the Right Minister of Toyotomi!? Ri, I don't know why, but you are so happy and thankfully happy.

Now that you and your wife are waiting, we will guide you right away. "

I can well see that the faithful and tidy face is slightly reddish due to embarrassment.

Such loyalty tried to hide his face, turn his back on us, and walk forward to take the lead in the castle.

………

……

"This way, sir."

"This is..."

Yes, I was surprised. I couldn't help but leak it by accident.

We were put through because it was not the main circle of Edo Castle, but the west circle built next to it.

Moreover, the room is an idyllic room, unlike a room where politics is practiced, such as during a glance or a reputation.

Surprise me in the ass, Tadashi Okubo, carefully bowing his head,

"Well, then, that's in this.

You'll see the superiors in no time.

Until then, please relax. "

and tried to leave the scene.

It should be noted that at this time, the maids of Princess Kofi and Princess Thousand were sent to the next room to wait there.

Also, the Itakura brothers who sent us to Edo went to Honmaru to report on this journey.

And I tried to leave the room, to be faithful, to speak up in a light tone.

"Yes, Lord Loyalty!

Actually, I have a letter from my mother-in-law, so I'd like to give it to you tomorrow.

Besides, my father had a previous favor to look after.

So I'd like you both to have a seat, how about that? "

The allegiance that shook my shoulders with a tingle at the suggestion turned to me once again and lowered my head.

"Thankfully, the Right Minister of Toyotomi is the son of his superior stepson, albeit the other side of the house.

I was wondering if it would be a good idea for Minister Toyotomi right to decide... "

"Ha! Lord Tadashi is a serious man!

Good! Of course, I'll tell my father-in-law about this, so don't worry!

Ha ha! Looking forward to it!

"Ha... ha... are you coming... well, I'll tell Father about it quickly"

"Uhm! Nice to meet you! Ha ha!

When I spoke half as forcefully, Loyalty listened reluctantly and left the scene.

It is also a peaceful and sunny day.

When the spring raucous sunshine plunges into the room, you may also be tired of traveling or suddenly drowsiness strikes you.

Apparently, the same thing happened to Chihime sitting next to me, and when she was relaxed, she finally leaned on me and began to sleep easily.

And my consciousness went a little farther...

………

……

"This is..."

When I looked around with my eyes open, it was a strange space covered with "white" on one side.

Apparently I'm in a dream, I have that awareness. Because I clearly remember being in Edo Castle right now.

But it's a pretty realistic dream nonetheless...

My body feels very sharp.

It was then...

"Oh... you..."

One just a short distance away...

There are people staring at me.

I knew the man.

Who is that person...

- Woman in black hood...

"Why are you here... and who the hell are you..."

I ask her out loud.

But she doesn't answer that question.

Instead, she told me to squirm.

- You're not as good as you are now...

The words are somewhere pitiful and shake down with both dull sounds, like you hit my heart with a dong and a hammer.

"What do you mean!? I can't...

You mean you can't beat Jiayang Tokugawa!?

Then the woman with the black hood slowly shakes her neck to the side.

And I said it in such a humid tone that tears were going to overflow.

- Your dream is to beat the Tokugawa family?

"What do you mean...? If you beat the Tokugawa family, I won't be able to protect Toyotomi, will I?

- Remember... your... and your father's dreams...

"My father and I had a dream..."

So strangely groaning at me, the woman in black hood finally screamed out loud with tears.

- Don't forget! Dream of the fat!!

and…

………

……

When I finally woke up, I looked around.

The area is completely covered in the sun and has apparently fallen asleep for quite some time. And I realized there wasn't a thousand princesses next door.

"A thousand? Where have you been...?

That's when I leaked such a soliloquy, one little woman came into the room.

Wake up.

"Yeah... I'm sorry... until it gets so dark, I fell asleep...

By the way, what about the Lord...?

I rely on a few lights to see the woman. Apparently my age is as good as Princess Kofi's. Because of the small size, that look on the child's face is somewhere cute.

But this face... it's like I've seen it somewhere...

No, someone similar...

And the woman who smiled at me, confused, revealed her name.

"Hehehe, the wobble is the river.

I am Lord Hideyoshi's stepmother. "

"Oh... Lord Jiang!? Yay! This is rude!

When I crashed my still sleeping face, I immediately adjusted my posture.

Yes, this woman is the second general, Hideyoshi Tokugawa, mother of Chihime, Princess Jiang.

She is also my mother, the sister of the temple, and she is thirty-three years old at this time. Whereas the temple is slender and tall, this Princess Jiang is quite short and luxurious in her body.

I thought I'd seen it somewhere, perhaps the shadow felt on my daughter, Chihime, or on my mother, the starling temple.

But...

The shadow of this woman doesn't make me feel like I've seen it somewhere...

I don't know why. Princess Jiang continued when she held something in her chest.

"Hehe, in the next room, your lord and a thousand are waiting for you.

I'll get you something to eat, so why don't you relax while I talk to your lord?

"Really... could you have prepared a banquet of hospitality or something?

"No, my lord turned his attention and the feast was set for tomorrow, that there would be some travel fatigue tonight.

Thousand woke up first, so I had an evening with the straw, but Lord Hideyoshi slept well, so I let him sleep softly.

I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Go ahead, show him your face. "

"Oh... thank you"

When I lowered my head slightly against Princess Jiang, who smiled and urged me to move to the next room, I immediately stood up.

And when I turned my back on her, I squeezed my mouth so tight that she couldn't tell, I put my strength into my stomach.

I don't know why I got stiff...

It's...

- One of the last purposes of my visit to Edo... "Confirm something" to Hideyoshi Tokugawa... there's more to it than here...

And because I have decided my heart.

I opened it quietly when I put my hot hand on the next room.
