Osaka Castle, February 19, 2017
In anticipation of Tokugawa's arrival at Sunfu Castle, I gathered the Tabernacles at Osaka Castle.
It is no longer necessary to hold meetings so as to hide in a school in Kyo than this has happened.
Instead, if we were raided where we were gathered in Kyo, everything would become a bubble of water at that point.
Return the back and let's say Kichinai is in a situation of slaughter.
And if "Osaka Summer Formation" breaks out just like historical facts, it's May of this year.
I can't help but rush now, but I don't have time for this anymore.
This will truly be the last meeting of the Tabernacle.
I was prepared to go into the midst of my reputation.
Then I breathed unexpectedly into the sight that spread in front of me.
Yukimura Maida, Princess Kofi, Souyoshi Ishida, Kiyosei Kato, Shinshin Horiuchi, Yoshiji Otani, Quandeng Akashi, Hiroshi Kwai, Xuanto Osaki.
What a gathering of all of us.
Especially when Yoshiji, who had taken off his life from Kyushu, and Kiyoshi and Mr. Sunshine from Kyushu, got into his eyes, he was baffled that he was about to accidentally cry.
With my hips down in my seat, I looked around at the sloppy, lined faces.
And after one deep breath, he spoke from the bottom of his belly.
"We're about to start our last Tabernacle Meeting!
I highlighted the 'last' part.
Because the Tabernacle was set up for "Measures Against Tokugawa".
The upcoming battle will be the 'final showdown'.
In other words, once "Osaka Summer Formation" is over, the Tabernacles intend to dissolve.
This meeting will be the gathering of all. That's what I was like.
And there's only one thing we need to discuss.
- To beat Tokugawa Jiayang...!
It was like...
◇ ◇
It was a meeting that started early in the morning, but by the time it was over, the day was completely tilted.
Though I'm only nineteen years old, I got laid out for a thick meeting in it, but the other faces seem the same.
But I didn't try to take a seat as a single person.
Because they realize.
This is the last time ten people, including me, are gonna be face-to-face.
"Let me bring you some booze."
What Souyoshi Ishida said about what everyone could not say to their mouths because of their tears.
I heard he wasn't much of a liquor man.
I couldn't help but round my eyes because such words were heard from his mouth urging a feast of liquor.
Soo-yong got up all the time wondering if our gaze was disgusting.
"Then I'll take it myself"
And he left the room to run away.
"Wait! Let me help you too!
"I'm coming too!
and Kiyoshi and Mr. Goodness both rush after Soo-yong's back.
And when I nodded small to Yukimura, who glanced at me, he also left with Yoshiji.
"Then I'll take it with me even with a knob."
"Well, I'll help you."
"I'm going to go too"
Now three people left the room: Xuanton Osaki, Hiroshi Kwai, and All Akashi.
That's how Princess Kofi and I were finally left in our room.
"Don't you have to go, Lord Hideyoshi?
Princess Kofi turned her gaze to me and asked in a gentle tone.
When I pulled my shoulder out, I revealed my honest feelings.
"No, now I want to take a little break."
"Hehe, you youngest, what are you talking about?"
"Ha, don't tell me that. And now I want to leave everything to everyone. If I squeeze out, they'll all shrivel."
"Heh heh, it's just like His Highness Tai Chi to face us only where it's convenient."
I nodded with a smile on my mouth against Princess Kofi, who shrugged her shoulders.
The time alone lasts in the large room.
For a while there was a slightly awkward silence.
Then it was Princess Kofi who broke it.
"Why are you back?
It's a fragile and fuzzy question. But I did find gratitude there.
I answered honestly here too.
"It will be decided to make everyone 'smile'"
"Well... So the 'future' that the Lord knows will make everyone cry,"
"You know you can't say anything, right?
"Hehe, you did. No, no matter what the Lord knows about the 'future', now the Lord is trying to protect Osaka Castle, you have to thank him only for that fact. Thanks."
Princess Kofi bowed her head to me with a strange face sometime.
I waved in panic.
"Stop it! It's not even like Lord Kofi!
"Hehe, but your lord is a stupid man, too. I can't believe you're coming back to Osaka Castle, the lightning in front of the wind, as are the bugs that fly into the fire. If you do it badly... No, you're going to die."
"Haha...... you have no choice. I'm falling in love. to the Toyotomi people."
"Does that also include friction?
"What...?
Princess Kofi stares at me.
She turns thirty-nine this year, but her lustrous hair and beauty are no different than when she met her tense skin. No, it seems more and more sophisticated.
I can assure you that if such a beautiful woman stares at you upwards and you're in your normal mind, that's not the man.
I lost my word and kept staring into her eyes to get sucked in.
Then I opened my mouth again from her side.
"If this battle is over and you take a breath, won't you reward me straw?"
"Oh, oh...... of course that is. What do you want?
"Hehe, you don't have to tell me."
"No, I mean..."
"In the side room of Lord Hideyoshi..."
... and that was when the conversation went so far.
- Pishari!
And the momentum opened up.
"Whoa!
When I glanced unexpectedly, Purity et al., who had carried the liquor, circled their eyes.
"What's wrong? Dear Hideyoshi!"
"Yes, no, it's nothing! Come on, line up the booze!
I gave instructions while I managed to contain my mood.
On the other hand, Qingzheng and others began to support the feast with a uniformly suspicious face.
◇ ◇
I enjoyed the feast from the bottom of my heart.
Everyone forgot, sang, and danced about the battle, etc.
The light they emit was so dazzling that I did my eyes on hand many times.
Each time, one of them called out.
- Dear Hideyoshi! Check it out! This is what I'm proud of...
and.
It's like, "Don't look away!" It didn't seem like he was being scolded.
At the same time, he said, "We will never give up!" It also seemed like he was taking an oath.
- What the hell is' loyalty '?
The Yoshioka Apricot inquiry sounded in my chest once again at that time.
I was convinced that the answer was in front of me.
That's......
- A vow never to give up on the Lord...
And isn't the strength of that oath the key to doing 'miracles'?
Oh...... dazzling.
I'm dazzled and I'm about to cry unexpectedly.
But I took an oath.
Unless they turn a blind eye, I'll never turn a blind eye either.
◇ ◇
About the same time...
Tokugawa Jiayang was alone in the room at Sunfu Castle.
By this time, he rarely allowed even the proximity of Honda Masayoshi and Tachibana Somo to enter the room.
In other words, he had become fond of solitude.
It was the words of his son, Hideyoshi, that made it decisive.
- Father is wrong. It is weakness not to admit mistakes. I don't want to see my weak father!
That word that was unleashed in front of everyone.
Of course he did not acknowledge his own weakness.
But at least he was heartbroken by the fact that it showed up that way for his son.
And it was obvious from the eyes of those around him at that time that Hideyoshi's opinion was probably not the only one in Hideyoshi's chest.
In other words, he became as lonely as possible from then on.
Still, he hasn't given up on a human being named himself.
Believe me, I do not doubt that I am the one who is on the 'right path'.
It was the presence of Souyoshi Ishida that had such a huge hook in his mind.
The assault he showed in the first battle was clearly of a different quality than what he showed in Sekigahara.
If, once again, he made the same attack, it would not have seemed that the next time would have led him to stick a spear up his throat.
"I should still have 'disposed' of it then."
It goes without saying that he moaned 'then' referring to the post-war processing of the Battle of Sekigahara.
It was Hideyoshi Toyotomi, seven years old with a weak crown, who 'disturbed' it when I thought of it.
"After all, who was he..."
In retrospect, it just seems that all the outstanding behavior also accounts for his distress up to this point until he has rounded up all sorts of things.
After driving Rushui Kuroda to death, he was a Toyotomi who thought he would crumble and destroy himself, but if I opened the lid, it was rather Jiayang who was cornered.
No matter how adversity you taste, where does the spiritual strength of the excellence that crawls up come from fulfilled?
It didn't surprise him.
And what got us there was "loyalty."
In other words, by the power of many ministers who support Hideyoshi, it seems to him that Hideyoshi will still come forward.
If you go around thinking that far, a familiar face lines up behind his brain.
Tadashi Hondo, Tadashi Sakai, Yasushi Sakahara, Naoto Iwai and Genuine Hondo...
All the instant loyalists, like the stars, are not already men of this world.
"I wonder if I've lived too long... can you tell me? His Royal Highness Tai..."
Jiayang crumbles thinking of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, once a good enemy and friend.
This evening, again, he had a lonely night.
◇ ◇
Then three months passed exactly like a meteor.
Sakai, whose port functions were temporarily paralysed, was completely revitalized back to normal.
Ship movements also flourished, especially towards Satsuma.
They say they carry a variety of supplies to trade with Ryukyu via Satsuma.
The sailors had many inmates hired by the Toyotomi family.
And after leaving Sakami for Satsuma, he said he would never return to Sakami Harbor again to be driven out by Ryukyu and trade to exotic countries.
No one knew how many sailors had journeyed from Sakami after all.
Meanwhile, Toyoko Funai Castle fell in Kyushu.
The Otomo family surrendered irresistibly to the Shogun Army, mainly Hosokawa and Kuroda, because our Lord Yoshio Otomo was still unaccounted for.
It was the Toyotomi family, the Kato family and the Asano family that did not submit the "pledge" to the Tokugawa family.
And of these, it was the Asano family that had the movement.
What a split opinion between our Lord Yukio Asano and his brother Nagasheng Asano.
Regardless, Happiness argued that "while the Toyotomi did not let it out, it would be against loyalty for us to let it out first," and Changsheng insisted that "in view of the prevailing circumstances, we should issue a pledge before we have any blame on our house".
Harsh personality happiness against the warm Changsheng.
Changsheng managed to find a solution in the dialogue, but Lucky assembled his soldiers under the castle because of his overstretched character.
It was Tokugawa Jiayang who laid eyes on this.
That was in April of the year of Keio 17 (1612).
Jiayang led the Great Army to begin the western front in the name of participating in the inauguration of the Great Heavenly Guard of Nagoya Castle, which had just been completed.
And the unveiling of Nagoya Castle was over. No, I notified the great names.
- Osaka is marching in to intervene in the Asano family's home disturbance. This is an act that disrupts the world and can never be overlooked. At last, I would like to ask the cooperation of the generals once more in order to offer the outrage of Osaka.
Thus, once again, 200,000 large armies from all over the country went up to Kyoto.
And when the army led by Tokugawa Jiayang and even General Tokugawa Hideyoshi arrived, the entire shogun army was ready.
The soldiers of the Toyotomi Army, on the other hand, are 38,000, the same as in the winter formations.
They don't already have Maidamaru, Fort Nagaju, or any more castle moats, they have no other choice than to get out of the castle and fight.
In other words, in the field, besides having to intercept 200,000 shogun troops with a force difference of more than five times, the other general is Tokugawa Jiayang, who specializes in field combat.
The Toyotomi army was forced into a situation that could no longer be described as' despair '.
But from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the general who wore a helmet like the light that the morning sun rises and shoots, with the banner of "Chizen Ladybugs", "A helmet with a horse orchid after standing", I could not feel any "despair".
The three lights of his haunted 'backlash', 'hope' and 'miracle' brightened the hearts and minds of Toyotomi generals and soldiers.
And Hideyoshi, who spanned the white horses, said soberly, with a loud voice that no more than 38,000 soldiers could hear.
"We have righteousness!! Don't be cowardly, fight!
- Ooh, ooh, ooh!
The ambition of the soldiers shivers the sky on the Osaka.
Thus, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Jiayang's final showdown, "Osaka Summer Formation", came to an end -
