Celebration 16 Years Late on December 9th...
One of Tae-jung's soldiers, who escaped from Sakura with his life, went in so that he could roll into the headquarters of Otomo Yoshidai.
It should be noted that all of Tae-jung's soldiers are wearing Western-style iron armor.
When I saw the figure, I intuited that something might have happened to Tae-jung.
And after paying people, the soldier brought
- Thai harshness.
And that was just one word of information.
But the reward was shocking enough to cause the orthodox to fall on his back.
"My lord!"
A soldier, who rewarded Tae-seong's death, rushed over to the source of the Orthodox, but the Orthodox raised his right hand to control it.
Then he started laughing so hard, what a quiet dark night to tremble.
"Hahaha! Finally, you're dead! Hahaha!
Against the soldier staring suspiciously, the system that woke up his body slapped him on the shoulder with a pong.
"Thank you for your hard work. Rest for a while."
"Thank you! Now excuse me"
The soldier, who senses the atmosphere of the creepy orthodox, after the shivers and the main formation.
That's how Yoshio Otomo, who remained in the curtain of one man, kept the water in his mouth all the time.
- Boo!
After dampening the mouth, all the remaining water sprays vigorously towards the ground.
He narrowed his eyes and squealed as he sat in his seat again in a relaxed motion.
"Now I'm finally free..."
And he immediately made a single writ.
When I handed it to my last name, who was waiting outside the curtain, I verbally told him where to send it.
"Ask Lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi for this"
And...
◇ ◇
Celebration 16 (1611) Night of December 10th -
The Toyotomi army, led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was still in Sakura.
After the outbreak of the Sakura ambush, he would have been in the same place for two whole days.
From all around you, I'm like, "What are you thinking?" I was even beginning to hear voices surprised by my thoughts.
But I had a good reason to stay here.
And finally, what I was waiting for arrived at my disposal.
That's a "surrender letter from the Otomo Indochi".
I quickly assembled Komura Maida and other heavy ministers to begin the council.
Yukimura is circling her eyes as she widens the letter.
"Why was Lord Otomo determined to surrender, despite his overwhelming advantages?
I answered my thoughts in the end.
"I guess it's because I lost my reason to fight"
"What do you mean, why fight?
"Does anyone know why Yoshito Otomo attacked Kumamoto Castle in the first place?
I looked around.
But everyone on this scene shook their heads sideways.
I can't stop smiling at the situation as expected. And he continued in a pale tone.
"Yoshio Otomo... No, let's keep" Tai Chi "as. He went for it."
"What did you aim for?
I said in a powerful tone that I could put more effort into my stomach.
"Give me the second" Kuroda Rushui "......!
Everyone's gaze reflects a stunning color.
I kept looking closely at their reactions.
"Once, Rushui Kuroda plotted to raise a flag here in Kyushu with a gap between the clashes between East and West in the battle of Sekigahara."
"I've never wanted to do that before"
"I guess so. Anyway, there was nothing left in" The Historical Facts Over Here. "
Yes, because I knew Rushui Kuroda's movements, I plotted to stop the battle of Sekigahara by sending his troops to Osaka Castle.
As a result, my strategy didn't work, but as a result, his prospects ended again without any historical record.
After proceeding so far, questions arose that would be core from Princess Kofi's mouth.
"But now it will be the world of Tahei under heaven. Why did Tae-jun discuss the Second Kuroda Rushui? Now all I can say is that Otomo messed up the world."
I smiled again and saw Princess Kofi and Happy Village.
The well-explored Happy Village seems to have perceived something with its gaze.
I blued my complexion a little.
"No way... is that why the reinforcements didn't come..."
"What do you mean!? Let me explain it well!
Princess Kofi couldn't stop roughing up her voice and asking us.
I take a deep breath once.
And somehow hold back the outrage that springs up.
"Right now, while we're doing this, Osaka Castle is surrounded by Tokugawa's army."
And I said in a trembling voice...
◇ ◇
Around the same time, Osaka Castle had become a fuss like flipping heaven and earth.
That should be it, too.
The great army led by the Tokugawa family and the great famous people of the country was brought news that they were marching towards Osaka Castle...
Moreover, because of this importance, our Lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Yukimura Masada are absent.
The castle without the great black pillars was rocking.
Of course, the remaining rats in the castle continue to discuss their future responses through the night.
- Do not fight thoroughly until Master Hideyoshi is back!
- No longer negotiable! Then surrender immediately and do not give up the castle!
However, the two opinions were finally decided by a majority vote without meshing.
It should be noted that the remaining raters in the castle at this time are Gui Hiroshi, Tsuda Zongfan, Governor Ono, Sir Ozo, Kitakitori and Yuan, Oda Lao Dogsai, and Oda Yurakusai.
Four of them are revealing their attitudes.
The two men, Hiroshi and Zongfan, were 'resistance', and the two men, Old Dog Sai and Yurakusai, were 'surrender'.
The other three just couldn't decide how to behave, and they never raised their hands to either opinion.
As a result, even a majority vote did not result in a convergence of opinions.
Completely stuck rats.
Taunton time passes, depriving them of their strength and strength.
And finally, Governor Ono, the deputy of the Osaka clan, made one decision.
"Ask Hideyoshi for instructions."
And...
◇ ◇
Sakura, December 11, 2016
Our Toyotomi army resumed marching west all the way.
The goal is the Shrine of Azu at the foot of Mount Azu.
The plains also extend along Toyoko Street around it.
That's where I was supposed to meet my brother-in-law Otomo.
We will leave Sakura early in the morning and arrive at our destination after noon.
As soon as I leave, Yukimura lines up with me. And he asked me strangely.
"Dear Hideyoshi. If it's true that Osaka Castle is surrounded by Tokugawa troops, don't you need to bother picking up the opponent who will surrender?
I shook my head beside him quietly at his inquiry.
Because I had one certainty.
That means' history doesn't change '......
In other words, even though we survived the Sakura ambush, it was hard to imagine that the "Great Friends mess" would continue to converge like this.
That's what I've been through many times as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
If so, if the Toyotomi army has returned to Osaka Castle, there is only one future ahead.
- The fall of Bear Main City. Kiyoshi Kato and Mr. Horiuchi died in battle...... And Hideyoshi Toyotomi dies again.
That is the future that must be avoided.
And guided by this...
Otomo, you're not supposed to surrender.
And that's the thing.
Happy Village and Princess Kofi gave me a little face for what I said.
That would be the case, too. Because I just received a "surrender letter" yesterday.
I went on.
"Why did Yoshio Otomo decide to surrender in the first place? It's lost the point of fighting."
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that."
"But there's something I didn't tell you yesterday. That means he lost the point of fighting 'who'."
"Ha...? Isn't that 'Toyotomi', of course?
"No, it's not." Tokugawa. "
"Tokugawa...!?
"I want you to remember. Why the Toyotomi army is here"
"I was dispatched by order of Tokugawa Jiayang... I mean, that's what you say!
I snorted at Princess Kofi's words.
Yes, it is. We are here as the 'name of the shogun'.
In other words, it is "Toyotomi" but also "Tokugawa".
But if that 'Tokugawa' gives me an order to 'consider Toyotomi'...
"Are you telling me... that Lord Tokugawa Jiayang sent a letter to Otomo asking him to consider our army...?
"I don't know that. But there's only one thing I can say. That's..."
I said angrily at the words with a harsh look on my face.
"A man named 'Now' Tokugawa Jiayang means a man who uses cunning and dirty hands everywhere!
I highlighted the 'now' part.
Because I know him 'before'.
When I was still in Fushimi, when I was a sweet grandfather...
That's why I couldn't forgive his way of crushing the Toyotomi in such a forceful way that I even felt hatred.
"I'll smash Jiayang's ambitions at any rate! You're gonna die in here!
Princess Kofi laughed niggardly at my powerful words.
"Nice face. Don't fall in love, even if it's not a thousand lords or bruises."
I accidentally bent my mouth to the letter to and turned my face bright red and shy.
See how it goes. Princess Kofi is laughing at Kerakera.
And that was then.
What came to my ear was a piece of news breaking down the atmosphere that was about to soothe me.
"Twenty thousand troops from the East Kyushu clans, including Tadahiro Hoshikawa, have entered Toyoko Street! Marching west! They probably came to reinforcements!
The soldiers around me said, "Wah!" and springs to joy.
- Now if the Great Friends attack, the Hoshikawa Army will help!
And they must be thinking.
But I, Yukimura, and Princess Kofi were different.
With a wrinkle between our brows, we nodded.
I didn't have to speak up. That was obvious.
The brutal reality that the Hoshikawa army has come behind the Toyotomi army...
If he had gone back east on Toyoko Street shortly after the Sakura ambush, he must have definitely bumped into 20,000 troops.
It was also a moment of being reminded of the different realities in which the slightest error of choice leads directly to 'death'.
Me increasingly being pushed to the cliff.
But the only way to move forward is by now.
I flogged my confused mind and hurried down the road to the Shrine of Azu.
