Toshiya Maeda, Yuzu Castle, China, mid-April 1911
You can see the collapsing Uzu Castle with an incredible roar.Speaking of Hiraki Castle, it is very impressive that the castle that was so well built will collapse without a shadow.
But it can't be helped either.At Uzu Castle, which is not a hard castle built on a steep peak, there is no reason to endure the new tactic of the Oda army...?
With an unexpected sigh of zero, give instructions to the surname to keep behind.
"... it's over. The shelling is ready.When you are ready, enter Uzu Castle.Send signals to other castles with smoke. "
Yes! I understand!
I dropped off my runaway last name.Then, without waiting for the time, the famous shellfish rang and heard a sharp voice.
--Stop shooting!!! Raise your victory!!!
--Ooooooooooooooooo!!
The soldiers' victory covered the castle, and other castles heard voices echoing it.Unexpectedly, wrinkles appeared between his eyebrows in the appearance of such floating soldiers.
The Uesugi clash is still in its early stages. Above all, we still haven't been able to determine the fate of the warlords at Uzu Castle.Nevertheless, it is forbidden to be alarmed if there is a slight possibility of being alive.
"... but that can't be helped either..."
When I murmured with a sigh, the dragon came into the room.Apparently, he heard the murmur earlier, and somehow he leaned his neck strangely.
"What can I do for you?"
Answer such questions with a bitter smile.
"No, I thought the soldiers were a little overwhelmed.Because of the situation, I think I'll let you slightly miss it... "
Once the conversation is separated, the bamboo tube is removed from the pocket and the throat is moisturized.
"A six-month military offensive is a good reason to dissatisfy the soldiers.Young people who want to play martial arts in the battle called Uesugi will be particularly dissatisfied.Even if you knew it was necessary. "
The dragon smiles bitterly at my whisper.
"... good or bad, young people are synonymous with recklessness and recklessness.It's impossible for young people who participated in the Uesugi crusade to get unconscious. "
Instead, the dragon chooses a word to protect me.Unexpectedly, there is no laughter in the words and deeds that do not suit the appearance and ask the mentalist side.
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about that.Maintaining my men's morale is my job as a soldier.Like Fujiyoshiro, who has succeeded in many years of food attacks, I must refine myself! "
While laughing lightly, the dragon exhaled relieved.
"... the soldiers must have finally felt like they were hunting Uesugi.And this overwhelming victory.I was wondering if it would be better to immerse yourself in the aftertaste of victory. "
Strongly nodded and affirmed the proposal of Lianlong.If we don't use whip and candy efficiently, we won't be good generals.The proposal of Lianlong would be the most appropriate.
"That's right. Would you like a little?But I'll tighten it before I go into Uzu Castle.Dragons will also be severely reprimanded. "
Ha.
I turned my gaze to the dragon who replied briefly.Did you feel my atmosphere change? Lianlong looked seriously at me.
"... it's time to get down to business. I told you before we attacked Uzu Castle.I wanted to thank you for seeing me in the changing narrow space of history...Lianlong, tell us your thoughts.What did you look like in this fight? "
- You came to say that, didn't you?
The tension drifted.I look at the dragon with deliberate lethargy.To determine whether or not it can be adapted to the Oda family.
And after a while of silence ruled the room, the dragon opened its mouth to squeeze it out.
"The beginning of a new era. Those who are trapped in the old customs will not even rise to the edge of the battle.... somehow... in the near future, I saw the day when the samurai of Ninomoto laid down his sword. "
From the forehead of the dragon, the sweat slowly spread to the cheeks and fell to the tatami mat.
I nodded satisfactorily to the answer of the dragon.
"Yes, the dragon is most worried.Sooner or later, we will lay down our swords.As early as possible, the sword is out of date.Even a spear would turn into dust in front of a gun.This is the age of guns... gunpowder. "
In words, I feel a little lonely.The beginning of an era in which all the martial arts we have accumulated are being eliminated.Because I realized that I didn't like it.
"Behold, Lianlong, the warlords of the Uesugi family, who were so tough, are decaying without even leaving the castle.Earliest, outdated rides, etc. The army will overwhelm the hostiles and drive them to the cage castle, and the shelling from the food attack will become the mainstream from now on.A man without a cylinder is not an enemy of the Oda family.All existing weapons will be wasted in front of an off-range range called a cylinder. "
--The samurai era is over.
Speaking frequently, he turned his gaze toward the dragon.The dragon leaned down bluishly.A strong man who excelled in martial arts with him.The eyes had a definite color of despair.
... I know exactly how that feels. I felt the same way.The stronger the martial arts, the more you will decay without being able to accept this reality.
But we have to change.
If we want to survive these turbulent times, we must accept them.
You didn't want to believe it.You didn't want to admit it.But it's true. In front of them, the warlords in Uzu Castle died without doing anything.
You will remain weak forever, trapped in worthless values such as samurai.
Only those who accept the fact and advance to the previous era are the human resources necessary for the Oda family.
And the dragons are the fittest.
If a dragon had enlightened the end of the samurai era, it would take time to accept the fact and survive this turbulent era.
"Well, I guess it's time to get ready.Let's go to Uzu Castle. "
"...... hah"
After seeing the deep flat dragon, he left the room and headed towards the soldiers.Old customs are abandoned and a new era begins.With thoughts and thoughts, it will never be changed.
