The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era
Episode 535: On the night of the Martial Arts Games.
Side: Yoshiro Saito
And it came to pass at night at the castle of Qingzhou, and I could not help but feel the greatness of my father again.
His father gently sold himself to Wuwei, who had sent him against the Jiliang family, who had darkly sought to attack Far River.
"It's Shinkuro. I have trouble impressing you. If you can't move when you should, you can't live the rest of the world."
In his father's words, the Ji Liang family lost their position and could not speak of the attack on the Far River.
"But Father, Lord Ji Liang was very impressed with me..."
"Leave him alone. I can't do anything with that guy."
It must be because of that. The people of the Ji Liang family have been staring at my father and me ever since. The Saito family turned the prestigious Yoshiraya family against their enemies, although nothing could have been done more.
Father has always been, but don't hate to cut it off early and turn it around on your enemies when you decide you can't. Well, this time he sold it to the Spur and Oda families. I don't think there's a problem.
"The more problematic issue than that is the position of my Saito family. At last, Oda made it partial to Sekiguchi, but made it obsolete. Besides, in the territory of my son-in-law, I hear you have bought up possessions from local samurai and others."
While I and my minister were impressed with Father's actions, I thought about my relationship with the Ji Liang family, but Father has already thought about something else.
"My lord, what the hell does Oda want?
"We will want to change the way the country is ruled from the ground up. If the money changes even if you give the land, you'll be fine and betrayed. If you want to change the world like that, it's convincing."
One of the ministers questioned his father about Oda's ideas. I'm not sure what you want to do. That is the opinion of the majority. There are many things I don't know.
Oda is tight. This is the reason why the Chinese people of Mino step on two feet to submit to Oda. Few people prefer to be spoken out in their own territory.
"Can you really do that?
"I would be able to. If only it were Oda now. What we need to think about here is the future of my Saito family. You can't just obey. We need to learn how to rule Oda now and spontaneously fit in here."
The minister is half-hearted. I don't know why I can't do it the way I've always done it. If you lose the war with Oda, some of you won't know what to do.
Few people speak anxiety about Father's dumping on Oda. The most disobedient have disappeared in a rough way, so there is no problem.
"But my lord..."
"I know. Nevertheless, we can sort out the precincts."
There was a man who blued his face that Father would take the territory from the minister, but just as Father was not willing to do so in the present situation.
Not that it's a substitute, but he wants to sort out the lockup. Inari Mountain Castle is close to Ozhang. We might be able to handle the gates from Ozhang to Inaya Castle and Inoguchi.
You may at least lighten the taxes on loads with the Oda people. Even as it stands, the territory is businesslike and lively with Oda.
It would be a good idea to let a merchant who made money from the business pay taxes.
"I have already offered to obey. Whenever you ask me to obey you, it's weird. Depending on the situation in Kichinai and Imagawa, it will be quicker. Prepare yourselves."
You can't beat Oda. I know that too. Last year, I knew better by joining the Battle of the Three Rivers.
The Saito family beat Oda. My strength, my army, and Oda's footing are beyond my reach.
It seems that Father is already prepared to bow to Oda. Previous fathers would have rebelled against those in the house, but it was also the earliest. Your father will keep alive what Lord Kuyuan advised.
See and rule the people, not the samurai. In a nutshell, that's Saito's policy now. It's more important not to starve the people.
Thanks to the direct jurisdiction of the Saito family, your father has a good reputation. A lot of people and land lords don't seem to be interesting. No one can defy you more than there is a shield behind Oda.
I guess I won't like the Saito family.
"Shinkuro. Behind you. Maybe I'll have to give it back. Be prepared."
"... is there no need for a relationship with Asai?
There were no words because of anticipation and anxiety, but the ministers quieted back to Father's words said at that time.
My wife is the daughter of the Asai family. I also needed a relationship with the Asai family before...
"It would not be necessary. Are there any ministers who would be happy to connect with other countries? Regardless of the weak minister, the Saito family is too big. Even if Oda allows it to be connected to other houses, Oda's family may not allow it. Unless Oda is going to use that connection."
I have no words to give back. I'm not saying my wife doesn't have feelings, but if things change, she often goes home. Maybe I should go home for my wife, too.
The problem is that Lord Kuzheng of the Asai family is an ordinary man. At least not the kind of man that compares to Bullet Chung Oda.
Should the extra suspicion be eliminated? Well, let's just be prepared.
Side: a long time ago
"You can't have the Ji Liang family. We would consider ourselves not to have treated ourselves well. I thought I'd appreciate it if I just called it a doorstep."
It was also night on the first day of the martial arts tournament. When I welcomed Takeshi to the feast, Kitakeshi, who is staying at our house, told me a story the Yoshiro family from Sangawa made up.
There were reports from the sneakers in advance, but they were right. The fact that the Ji Liang family is twice as self-esteem and proud was a famous story without having to look into it over technology.
They are also treated as troublemakers by the people around them and by the landowners. It can be more or less involved and conflicting, especially if we are bordering territories. In contrast, the Ji Liang family only says to push the pattern forward and pass its own claims.
Well, until recently, the Yoshiraya family split into the Tojo Yoshiraya family and the Nishijo Yoshiraya family and fought for nearly a hundred years. I don't have to think about it.
"I don't need the Yoshiro family to fight Imagawa."
"Would you rather get in the way? The people in that house have nothing to be thankful for, even if they have something to resent. If it's harmful to be on your side, it's better not from the beginning."
Mr. Takushi really doesn't have a backdrop, does he? I see things and I'm a samurai-like, straight guy.
It's certainly out of the way, isn't it? I can't say that from my mouth though. I intend to understand my influence.
"Matsuhei-kun in Okazaki is still better. I gave you my position."
I see. Is Hiroshi Matsuhei's rating higher?
In fact, it seems that Yoshitoshi also spoke to Hiroshi Matsuhei. It's natural to say so because it's an organizer. That said, it's not strange that even the status quo is seen as the enemy's Way of Imagawa, even Hiroshi Matsuhei seems to have given certain consideration.
Well, it wouldn't have been comfortable. From Guangzhong. Because Oda is depriving me of my son, and it's not strange to be seen as an enemy.
"Good luck tomorrow!
Meanwhile, all ministers are thriving in support of those taking part in martial arts competitions. There are a few people who can take the lead in winning the championship, Ishikusai and Ota.
Some people whistle and drum at some point and celebrate the feast.
"Serious battles are not good."
"Totally."
Seeing all those ministers, Julia and Takushi feel the passion or grin of the men who bet on the battle.
So far, the martial arts tournament has been run regardless of family style or status. I guess if you just don't be careful, the 800 will spread.
Julia doesn't seem to like that. They're teaching martial arts so that doesn't happen now.
"Ah, that, my -!!
"The Faster Win"
Um, Mr. Pamela and Mr. Ketty. Stop getting one grilled chicken for each other. Ketty flaunts the grilled chicken that Pamela kept for her last pleasure.
Pamela, I'll give it to you.
"Thanks! Love it!!
Leaving it like this starts a side-by-side fight. These two. I can't help it, so I'll give Pamela my grilled chicken.
It's not like we're not close. Sometimes this just happens when we're close.
Well, these busy nights are good too.
