The Space Fortress That Came to the Sengoku Era

Episode 553: Slow Negotiations

SIDE: Yoshiwon Imagawa

Snow Sai returned from Ozhang, but with that look, I can see how the negotiations were.

If you're serious, you don't have to ask. I am harmonious even in Oda and Swamp. From Oda's point of view, Imagawa is in the way, and from Swamp's point of view, it's a great opportunity to clear up past resentments.

"Well, did the negotiations continue?"

"Ha, now the matter of the inauguration of the administration has bought the wrath of Lord Wuwei. There seems to be quite a bit of public opinion and control."

Reconciliation was refused, but is it possible if there is a one-year truce? Should I be angry at you for adding to this weakness, or should I be happy to get a one-year respite in this situation?

"I don't have a choice. Neither I nor I have met with the Swamp family. It's not what people think."

Snow Sai still looks like he's going to cut his stomach off if he misreads the Swabs. I don't know what else to do, though. In the first place, Spore Wuwei was taken lightly as a puppet for a long time now.

I don't know him very well, and I've never had him look into it.

"Well, I know what it's like to be a Sputnik. They're not interested in being inside or outside the kitchen. Because I hate the Foot Rippers the most, I thought it would be a stepping stone to take control and crush the Foot Rippers..."

"Awkward monks don't even know that there. However, it seems to me that Oda and Spur's thoughts did not require control."

What's less interesting than that is the Yoshiro family. They want to take the Yoshiro family here rather than in charge, and so on. Though some say it is true that they withdrew from the West Three Rivers because they can trump the Ji Liang family. Have you understood our thoughts?

The main house is the main house. If I crush it, there will be horns. If Oda and Swab crush it, it's not much trouble. I didn't know you would bother to bring that into the negotiations.

You mean you cared about the reputation of Buddha?

"Well, good. Do you think the Ji Liang family will pick it up here?"

"Then why don't you give me a year's truce?

"I think I'm going to poke around here. I would like to extend the period of the truce to the Western Three Rivers and, if possible, the territory to be handed over to Oda...... Well, it would make sense just to keep negotiating."

Honestly, I'd even like to end Oda and Spur, but it's my position that I can't do that. You have to admit it. Imagawa may have to ask Shin-soo or Shin-soo to speak with his master.

Oda can't fight with pride or decency. Moves at a loss. Probably a long time wisdom. We have to make people think it's better to make alliances in harmony than to fight this river.

"Fortunately, in Takeda, Oda and I are doing well together."

"Sure, Oda doesn't work with Takeda. From Oda, who values faith and thinks of the people, you can discredit yourself if you combine it with Takeda, which is all about betrayal and taking away."

Faith. This is the world. I think it would be foolish to be betrayed, but ironically, if I even believe in Takeda, I think I should believe in Oda. Other things would be similar.

"And then there's Hojo's..."

"On that matter, Oda also asked us to include a provision stating that this truce would be null and void if Takeda and one of our families had their hands on Hojo."

Were you warned that I was plotting with Takeda?

The remaining challenge is to suppress Hojo, who has an alliance with Takeda, but does Oda even talk about Hojo?

The same treatment as Takeda is just unacceptable, but were you alerted to join forces with General Kanto and Takeda to attack Kanto? Because there is a precedent, there is no choice.

"That's how Oda knows we're cornered."

Does that mean you will acquiesce in attacking Takeda, but you will not acquiesce if the damage is done to Hojo?

Don't worry about Hojo, who doesn't have an alliance. Is this the result of Hojo Phantom House's visit to Ozhang?

"Fair enough. You took it a step further. I'll keep you posted."

It's a long, narrow road. I think you should fight Oda first. It's only natural for the whole house to make a scene.

Although, Takeda, who lost in Shinano, is easier to attack. That should convince the whole house now.

Side: a long time ago

I was about to enter the division. It has been almost a year since the Honshiji Temple bee's rise in the Three Rivers, so I am preparing for the solace festival.

The host is the Swamp family, but he also speaks to the people of the West Three Rivers, such as Matsuhei, and the Imawa family. It was also possible that my brother-in-law would be furious with the rapprochement negotiations and become a battle, but he's not that short-circuited.

"That's amazing. It's a big difference from a year ago."

Today, I'm coming to the Three Rivers. Prepare for the solace festival and inspect the site of the main temple.

The members will have five hundred escorts consisting of El, Julia, Ceres, Ketty and Chiyo, Ichigo, Ishikusai and all militants and guards under Julia's leadership.

The escort is a little overcrowded, but as a result of Shin-soo's orders to follow me and learn how to rule the territory a little, militants were to follow me.

I thought there might be a rebellion in the merchant style, etc., but unexpectedly everyone is happy to come. This would be the result of Julia coaching them plainly. They still have a trend of looking lightly at the civilian population, but we all have a desire to make our territory better.

It would be a pleasure to have more people interested in agrarian reform these days because of the interaction they had with those people.

"Everyone's been working hard."

By the time he came to the site of Hongzheng Temple, he had been accompanied by a large number of Shinhuang and Sanhe people who were entrusted with Anxiang Castle of Sanhe. Somehow everyone from Ogi is soothing, but everyone in Mitsugawa feels nervous.

I think it would be a big deal to break my mood. In fact, you all gave me a horrible look when I complimented you.

That's weird. I didn't mean to be that tough.

"But the Three Rivers still have a lot of wilderness."

"The area is on a plateau, and the water is not available, so the development is not progressing"

The area around Hongzheng Temple is fine. I'm able to zone out, and I don't see myself starving to visit the neighborhood's inhabitants. I want you to stop worshipping us. You don't think someone ordered that, do you?

However, the west bank of the Yazooka River has quite a lot of undeveloped land compared to Ozhang. Around the Bihai Taiwan "Heikei" in the West Three Rivers of Eryiku, the water conservancy is poor, and in the original world, this seems to be the case until Meiji water can be used in historical facts.

"Elle, how long is it going to be when we pioneer?

"You need to pull water from the Yazoo River to fully explore it, but I'm sure you'll yield about three times as much as you currently do"

"Come on, is it triple?

The development of the Yazoo River West Bank is so cooperative that the Three Rivers crowd and the Three Rivers inhabitants are surprised, right? I'm working hard with intent that I can't beat Oozhong.

But just as well, they can't hide their surprise at the yield assuming that Bihai Taiji would develop the equivalent of water for Meiji.

"Whatever it takes, it'll cost you. There is also the embankment of the Yamato River, so not immediately, but we want to give priority to pioneering here."

The Sangawa is really easier to do because the Honshiji Temple is gone, isn't it? Nevertheless, river renovation and water remediation costs money and effort anyway. Still, it's too bad to leave it alone.

You have a proven track record of successful pioneering with historical facts.

"Is that all you can do?

In the surprise of the samurai in line, it was Toshimasa Hondo who asked me directly. This guy is the only honest father of history, isn't he?

That sounds pretty capable.

"Funds and people are finite, right? You decide where and how much money you spend. Nevertheless, it's easy to do without the main temple."

Wilderness wilderness turns into arable land. Well, even if you can imagine, there are parts of you that are half-hearted about whether you can really do it.

It is also necessary to show that everyone thinks of the land to govern, rather than just prioritizing Ozhang because it is the Oda family. Even in that sense, development equivalent to water for Meiji may be good.

If we can pioneer this place, it will be an appeal to the East Three Rivers and the Far River. It will put just the right pressure on Imawa.

Instead of splitting up with Ozhang or Mitsugawa or something, you should also do it with the Oda family as you think extensively.
