Hideyoshi Hashiba, Ando Castle, October 11th, Tensho
Konroku Hall and Goro Zuo Hall. A member of the Oda clan who has served the Oda clan loyally for many years. The two of them face each other in the forehead and discuss the end of their journey. This seems like a good initiative, but in fact, it didn't seem strange to develop into a fight between beatings. It is not exaggerated to say a push question because both sides do not bend their beliefs.
Such a precarious situation came to an end with only one word from the Third Master.
"That's it for both sides."
In response to the words of the third mage, everyone immediately fell face down and refrained. I can't feel the noise there. It is natural because of the commandment of the Lord, but if it is normal, it is four years old, and there is no thickness in the word until this time.
(Is it still the blood of the master?)
I feel happy for the young master to grow up, but I feel sorry for myself, who is stagnating on the spot.... no, I'd rather go back the way I used to.
I thought so, and I heard Master San's words.
"I've certainly received everyone's intentions." Different opinions were expressed. Even though everyone's opinions differ in direction, it has been properly conveyed that they are serious about the end of the Oda family and Hinomoto. I'd like to thank you for that first.... thank you, if it weren't for everyone's thoughts, there would be no Oda family now. "
............! I'm so terrified of your unwanted words!
When the three masters were trembling together at the words of their labors, the three masters nodded hard and opened their mouths.
Well then, let me tell you my decision.
Tighten your body to the word.
The flow of time feels slower than usual. Moments of tension. High beating. Even though it was not long ago, this time waiting for the words of the Third Master was felt in half an hour.
And finally, the time has come.
"The Oda family does not carry out the Tang dynasty. Even if that was the dominant path Grandpa was aiming for, my answer wouldn't change. Without confronting Western countries head-on, the focus will be on Hinomoto's internal affairs after achieving the unity of the world.... let's end this war already."
The Third Master was told quietly, with a warm smile on his face.
While everyone chewed on the words, the Third Master turned his gaze to the Sixth Master.
“Six Percentage Right”
"... haa"
"Your thoughts are not wrong." You wanted to remove the seeds of threat with your own hands so that the children who will live in the future can live happily. You couldn't pretend you didn't see the possibility that your loved ones would get hurt, could you? "
"... you're right." Tsubaki is already in a short old bone. I don't know how many years later I can wield a spear.... while listening to Kuroda's story, I was so old that I couldn't even stand the battlefield when I was invaded by the Nambarians that I was just desperate. If you feel that way, you want to destroy the Nanbarb with your own hands and exhaust it on the battlefield! "
The deep wrinkles engraved on the hem represent Kwon Six Hall's conflict.
Kwon Six is not a pig warrior. It has a policy to encourage the people to work, and it aims to rebuild the Echigo country with its excellent skills. Certainly, I have the intelligence to entrust the country to me.
However, its essence is the weapon of a warlord who inspires his allies on the battlefield. There, just by being aware of your own ways, the old man probably couldn't accept his own short destiny.
In order to break the heart of a man who lived in such martial arts, the Third Master was beside him to work for Kwon Six.
Kwon Six, I'm not running away from you.
".........!"
The words widened the eyes of Lord Kwon Six.
"Katsuzo, Tadasaburo, and Genjiro... the promising young people are growing up with every day of hard work." By the way, I'm working hard every day to be a good lord. in order to never lose the things inherited from our ancestors...? "
When the three mages were smiled at by the mischief, they were also gazed at by the samurai watching the formation progress. Especially, to speak to the officers and guards who were planning to advance on the continent in the same way as Lord Kwon Liu.
"... and I'll entrust my will to the back again." In this way, people's thoughts are connected. Everyone in the world has a desire to protect their loved ones. From now on, it will always be in everyone's chest. So... it's okay. Even if Quan Six dies, someone will surely take over his will. The idea of the Sixth Powers can never be in vain. I'm sure all Gong-six needs is the courage to put his backwardness behind him. "
”Ah... ahh... hah... hah... hah...”
Six Hall Kwon's body trembles as he weeps in tears. Perhaps Kwon Six was too cherished by his sons and ministers, and his vision was too narrow to do anything about it himself.
I was able to recognize it with the words of the Third Master. I didn't mean to scorn you. It's just that anxiety leaked out from a slight gap in my mind. Soon, I will be able to return to Lord Kwon Six as usual.
Then, the official guard who was looking at Kwon Six Palace with a dazed expression raised his voice as he trembled.
"But then... the threat of the Southern Barbarian..." If you're thinking about the future of Ninomoto, you can't just leave it alone.... "
Yeah, that's right. We still have that problem. However, the Third Master still maintained a warm smile.
“It's okay, nothing but invasions and chains are the only way to protect Ninomoto.”
"What the hell is that..."
"You can form an alliance." The world is not just about the barbarians, but there are many countries and people in the barbarians. Even nearby, there are Ryukyu, Lu Song, and Geranium outside of Ming. I'm sure there are people who are dissatisfied with the way the Nanba have been treated. "
.........?!
Looking at the thoughts of the three mages who could not even imagine, they all looked at each other in amazement. While receiving all of them, the three mages explained them to me politely.
"There are advantages and disadvantages to invading and strangling a country. As the vine says, some things are less effective on their own. Then you can change the way you deal with foreigners. You just need to properly manage the borders and interact with each other. If you have enemies that one nation doesn't like, you can join forces with other nations. I think that's the basics of what everyone knows."
"I-I see......"
Indeed, this Oda family has forged alliances with many famous families. If the mighty Oda family could not be defeated, many famous families were united and formed a siege network.
Alliances with Other Countries
A third option that is neither invasive nor chain nation. That was enough to make you realize that your vision was also narrow.
Looking back at the upset group, the third mage took out a wooden box from the shelf and placed it in front of them. Slowly opened, it contained a large dried kelp and something black.
"...... Third Master, what is this?"
"Kelp and sea turtles. I got a lot of gifts from people who were investigating the Python. The chef was also pleased that the good stock could be taken, and I was also interested in using it for business with foreign countries. I'm sure there are a lot of things in foreign countries that I haven't seen yet. If we exchange resources with each other, we will have more meaningful exchanges. For that reason, it's better not to close the door."
Goro Zuojin and Zuo Jinjin, who were shouting to close the door, came to him in a hurry.
"But Master Sanji!" If we don't close the door, we can stop the invasion from the Nanba..... "
"No, we shouldn't rush to seal the door." It's still too early. As Goro left put it, there is an isolated technological gap between Hinomoto and Nanban. In that case, you should actively trade to bury it and absorb the knowledge of the Nanban. "
"But I don't think it's going to be that easy! Where are the idiots who give knowledge to their enemies!"
"You don't think they're enemies, do you?" Missionaries have reported that Japan is a barbaric country ruled by barbarians. Then you don't want to miss that opportunity. If you don't want to be humiliated, you can let it be as low as you like. In the meantime, I'll let you accumulate enough strength to cross the Nanban. "
"Well, is it on the left side..."
Goro Zuozuo also unexpectedly stepped back with a drag laugh at the terrible things described by the three mages with the good faces of people.
Tsubaki thought that the way of thinking of the Third Master was as if he were a superior.
Then, the three mages clapped their hands and gathered everyone's gaze, believing that everyone was uniformly silent.
"Well, let's get this far today." It was a very meaningful time. Maybe you should break your belly and talk like this.... Guards, I know how you feel, but it's too early. If you're distracted, the pebbles in front of you will stamp your feet. Everyone should be ready for the Otomo Expedition first. "
Will!!
"...... will"
I opened the door and saw the three mages out while lying flat. At that time, the figure of the guards lying next to me was very memorable.
