The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

Episode 176: Shinsu and a Horse

side: Hiroshi Matsuhei

"I didn't know there was such a thing..."

Look at the patchy scattered spark. The eagle loses his word. The same will be true of those around them.

I hear Oda launched this to one side of the night sky.

Did Oda control the night sky while we were plowing our fields?

"It would be a waste of jade pills"

"at the merchant's minute"

The evaluation in the house is fragmented. Rumor has it that Kuyuan is a merchant, and few look down.

A fool who uses barbaric objects like cannons without polishing martial arts. Some say so.

"But Kuyuan cares about his minister. I'm not a bad guy."

"Right. I hear they give jobs and feed orphans and old people who have no place to go. You shouldn't be slightly criticized for not being able to do the same."

On the other hand, the number of people appreciating Kuai also increased.

Kudist ministers are cherished all the way to the Brotherhood Party. I give work and food to those who have no place to go. It's a story that will be heard in the Three Rivers.

In a world where betrayal is the norm, it is certain that such rumours can only be appreciated.

Proud of his patriarchal status and ancestral feats alone, it would be better when it comes to better than falling.

"Oh my God!

"A samurai is a samurai only if he wins the war. Didn't you? Kuyuan dropped Chingzhou with a golden cannon and destroyed the Hattori Party on a Nambarian boat with the Sage Navy. That would be an indisputable fact."

"Something like that. If you come to Mitsugawa, I'll take your neck!

"Do you think you'll be close to the long haul?

"If you're going to fool me, he'll take that neck from you!

"Don't stop."

If you think of it as merchant style, just ignore it. Why are you looking down on me as an enemy?

Indeed, samurai are only samurai if they win the battle. You're a samurai for a long time in that sense.

I just denied the artillery or the golden cannon, and they don't need to fit this one. That's a loser howl.

Are you telling me you're going to take a ride like the samurai of the ancient "No"?

"Isn't it true that in the first place, this river and so on? You won't pay me anything for abandoning Master Takechiyo."

"Sure. It's rumored that Imagawa is afraid of Oda."

"Neither can the hostages be saved from us. How long do we have to spend in an unreliable home?

Is there any discontent in the house?

I can't help it. Many houses in Oda and Imagawa took hostages because they thought Imagawa would win.

The result, however, was only to avoid a battle, and the Three Rivers were parted.

Those beyond the Yazoo River passed through here at first, but now they follow Oda perfectly.

I guess that's a big thank you for letting me eat when I can't eat.

Speaking of which, the sentence from Oda to follow the hostages of Takechiyo stopped coming at some point.

You mean you don't need Matsuhei Soja at the earliest?

I don't know. It's more than that, though. It's dangerous just to subordinate to the river now.

We may have to improve our relationship with Oda in secret.

The problem is they're still holding hostages in the river.

"You should really change the river flow itself."

"Well, that sounds like an interesting story."

On this day I came to inspect the popularity of Qingzhou as an offering by Shinsu.

What we are doing is creating the foundations of the expanding city and castle, and the embankment of the river that flows through the middle of Qingzhou.

Ishigaki has a hard time bringing stones, hasn't he? Makes me want to think about real concrete stone walls.

It takes time because there are no trucks or cranes. But the castle is a symbol of the country. Stone walls would be easy if the current situation was due to the huge impact on the surrounding area.

The embankment of the river is a time-appropriate thing, so it's going pretty well.

"Instead of building embankments on some of them, I thought it would be ideal to maintain the whole river and prevent water damage from happening"

"Sure, it's ideal."

Ozhang's drawback would be the problem with Kiso River, known as Kiso Mitsugawa, Nagarakawa, Nagarakawa, and Ibigawa.

In historical fact, it has also repeatedly undergone the flooding "Hanlan," and has carried out several large-scale works during the Edo and Meiji periods.

Oda has considerable financial resources at present, but the large-scale construction of Kiso Mitsugawa will be premature.

Financial resources are limited, and the expansion of Naguno is plain around the popularity of Qingzhou and Krabby River. Above all, there are small and medium-sized lords dotted and the stakes are troublesome and difficult.

In the future, water treatment and street maintenance should probably become the exclusive business of the Oda family.

Besides, disrupting a small clan like in the Edo period is only an obstacle to development. Maybe we should think of a way to govern.

"As things stand, it would be nice to increase the embankment and remove the dirt and sand from the bottom of the river. We also need to maintain a playbasin."

"Do you have a lot to do?"

"How about placing displaced people from the Three Rivers and Ise in popular sites everywhere? It's time to start building roads between the Krabby River and Tsushima and Hota."

"Fine. It's less expensive than building a village."

Leaving aside future stories, let's use displaced people fleeing Mino to Migawa and Ise for development in Oozhang.

There are also an increasing number of iron scoops, tsuruhashi and "Kuwa", which are active in popular sites in Qingzhou. We should also be able to turn displaced persons into black squadrons in the future.

"And don't have more work to do than fight. Those who can only use spears may keep their guts cool."

"I think that's what it used to be about ruling the country. We need to be able to eat without a fight."

Shinsu laughed that there would be more non-war jobs again.

The samurai say the battle is for real, because they think the battle comes first. Above all, people have been asked to be able to work in battle.

Nevertheless, if you do that, the war will never end.

Early in the Edo period, there seemed to be a lot of difficulty and confusion over the treatment of the prisoners who were crossing the battlefield.

"A world where you don't fight. Maybe you're surprisingly greedy."

"People are greedy things. I am ideal to live relaxed while doing business in a peaceful world"

"Don't you want your own heaven"

"That's really all I want, I don't. What do you like about being in a position where you can't even go for a walk? Your Highness may feel the same way when the people are moistened and hungry."

It would be nice to watch the people working with Ikiiki.

It's fun to talk to Shinsu about joking and laughing together and watching the residents.

Or because it's a joke-minded joke. Everyone around you, don't get so surprised and hardened up about this.

Shin-soo is also looking at the reactions around him as interesting.

――――――――――――――――――

Shin-soo Oda talked to Ichima Kuyuan at this time, and Niichi Ota, who was there, had written it down.

It is mentioned as one of the anecdotes of how Shinsu liked a horse when the ministers were all surprised by Shinsu speaking to him as if he were my child.
