Early March, Yonglu II (1559) Shimizu Yamashiro, Yanaigawa Village, Takashima County, Omijiang
"Brother."
When I spoke, my brother saw this way. I have a laugh.
"How did you get here? I think you've been looking at the lake."
"Um, I was looking at the lake. It's a landscape not seen in decaying trees. I don't think the lake has ever been more beautiful."
"I see."
From the castle tower (Yagura), the Akami Naomi Sea was seen. Large, and numerous (again) ships can be seen running along the lake. It's not just the lake. Lake North, Lake East at a glance. There is certainly no view like this.
"It's a landscape you'll never see again. I didn't know I could see this landscape as much as I wanted when I wanted..."
My brother is looking at the lake again. It was hilarious. My brother, who can't solve the wind currents, looks like he's in love with the beauty of the lake.
"My brother, you did it."
My brother nodded “um”.
"I thought we were done taking Takashima and Tanaka, but there were no four families left to eat. Takenaka Maru is evil. But if it's not evil, we can't make this mess."
Exactly. The Lord of the Decaying Wood Family had many disciplined men for generations. Trust could not be greater, because there was no evil part.
"One day, hex,... you're no longer dreaming, brother"
"No, it's still a dream."
My lord hasn't even finished his coat yet.
"Well, yeah.... Zodiac, why are you here?
Oh, boy, have you finally asked that question?
"My lord called me to talk to you. He asked me to bring him here because my brother would be here. Then he said," Look at the Akami Naokai. "
My brother smiled bitterly at my words.
"I don't want that."
"Now the Lord is beside you. Let's talk about Plum Maru."
"Right."
Walk down the ledge and through the castle toward the room of the Takenagawa Maru.
"Brother, what do you think will happen next?"
"... I can't move for the time being. Even though he ate seven Takashima heads, Decaying Tree only took possession of two thirds of Takashima County. In terms of stone height, it's about 50,000 stones. It's not far from Asai, not even the hex."
"Will it still be so"
I accidentally sighed.
"The strange story turned 50,000 stones and once again I knew the size of the hexagon. There are people who follow hexagons, people who have the same territory as decaying trees."
"If the hexagon cares, there won't be any decaying trees or anything like that."
"It is. The easiest thing to do is follow the hexagon, but Takenaka Maru can't seem to do it. You may have seen it mainly as a shortage."
My brother laughed at Couscous.
"What a mess."
"Absolutely."
The two of us laughed in solidarity. Fifty thousand stone decaying trees endanger the instrumental weight of Yoshihito Hexagonal Left Kyo. All I can say is it's not easy. But Takenaka Maru has not tried to bow his head to anyone for a long time. That's why we're becoming one force in this Kobe, albeit 50,000 stones.
There are other elements that decay trees cannot move. Asai's territory extends to three northern Omijiang counties in Ika, Asai and Sakata counties, but in part to the northeast of Takashima counties. Then there is a hexagonal enclosure between the territory of Asai and the territory of Decaying Wood. It was originally placed in the hexagonal trust so that there would be no problems between the seven heads of Takashima and Asai.
The stone height is about 10,000 stones, but in the shadow of this enclosure, you do not have to connect the area directly with Asai. Home affairs, a wall of gratitude for arming. But it also means that we cannot unify Takashima County unless we are prepared to turn the hexagon against the enemy. And to the south is the range of forces at the mountain gate, which is difficult to go south. I can tell you that decaying trees are in a situation where you don't even want to grow up. What will Takenaka Maru do......
"For the time being, it's a territorial arrangement, isn't it?
"Uhm, it will be the formation of the army later"
Shimizu Mountain Castle is much larger than Decaying Wood Castle. It took an unexpected amount of time to get to the room of Takenaka Maru. In the room, Takenaka Maru and the Lord's Palace were drinking tea.
"I'm sorry, I made you go through so much trouble."
"I don't care, I know where you are. You just have to do people.... I think your grandfather really liked the place."
When Takenaka Young Maru teased her, her brother laughed like a blindfold. I said that Takenaka Maru would prepare the tea and ordered the maid to bring me a new cup of tea for four.
"Father, Plum Maru frequently asks me to wear my first clothes. He said he regretted going to war the other day."
The Lord is smiling bitterly.
"I think it's too early to wear a uniform..."
"My lord seems to disagree."
As everyone's gaze turned to Takenaka Maru, Takenaka Maru glanced at her.
"I won't let you wear the main clothes for the time being. He thought fighting was something that could easily be won with that the other day. It won't be too busy for me to take her back now. I need you to learn more about calculations, military science, agriculture, the situation in different countries, the public houses in Kyo, and Plum Maru..."
It's tough.
When my brother chilled, Takenaka Maru exhaled heavily.
"I don't want Plum Maru to be just a spear-working man. I can't right now, but in 10 years, in 20 years, my surrogate will be here..."
"My lord's surrogate, it's tough"
Takenakamaru exhaled again in the voice of the Lord.
"I'm not kidding, Lord. Decaying trees have weak kinsmen. When it comes to my age, all I have is plum pills."
No one opened their mouths to the boulder this time. Indeed, the Decaying Woods have a weak kinship. All my brother's children serve the general's house. It has nothing to do directly with the Decaying Wood Family. Speaking of relatives, there is only me and my son, the Lord Hall, and my grandson, Plum Maru. Eight thousand stone little national lords would have done well. But now there will be 50,000 stones, and more than a thousand and five hundred soldiers to lead. Asai, it's smaller than Hexagonal, but I can't say it's smaller in a national lord. We need a kinship with the power to support our Lord.
A samurai brought tea. Four of them each contained tea in their mouths. The silence fell into the room for a little while.
"Master Hideaway, who among the four of you should return?
"Well, let's talk about it for once."
I saw Takenaka Maru. I don't even respond to conversations between me and my brother.
"What do you think, my lord?
"... if I go back, uncle, do you honestly follow my life?
I'm tilting my little neck. I fear that you will rebel against the Lord who is too young. Now I'm struggling, I thought so.
"Don't worry. Even if you are young, you are the master of the Decaying Wood family. And what you've done is something that no one can do, a track record that is too much for you as the owner. A fool who doesn't understand is not a decaying tree, even if his blood is connected. Until I banish you from the house of decaying trees."
Bamboo Young Maru nodded at his brother's words.
"Okay. Then I'll write to you asking you to return to Decaying Tree from me, asking you to help me. Write for me, too."
"Uhm."
Plum Round, I'm not trying to learn anything while having such a master. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but once I have to re-tap my sexual roots. If I had a brother, I wouldn't be my sister anyway... Do you slap the Lord's ass and let another live?
"And why did they call us parents and children today?
When the Lord asked, Takeshi Young-maru roared “um”.
"I'm moving my castle to Shimizuyama. It is inconvenient for decaying trees to rule a new territory. I told your father about it."
Everyone nodded. Decaying trees are safe but deep. Shimizuyama has better flights.
"So it's Castle Decaying Wood, Lord, but come in."
"Aren't you my father?
Young Maru Takeshi shook his neck beside the Lord's inquiry.
"No, my great-uncle asks me to enter Shipwood Castle. That's what happens to the castle owner of Nishiyama and the castle owner of Sekigi Castle."
He looked at me. I found myself confused. And the reason.
"Our parents and children will keep the three castles, my lord."
Takenaka Maru exhaled.
"It has to be done. Decaying trees cannot be deposited with the rare. It will be a place of refuge when you have to be close to Kyoto. And we have artillery, forge, sulfur, charcoal, nitrous stones, everything. It's an important place for decaying trees to grow."
"Nitrite?"
My brother made a strange voice. Is it time to talk about it? Takenaka Maru corrected his residence.
"Grandpa, I'm making nitrous stones in Nishiyama. I commanded my great-uncle and the Lord. It's been four years, we should be able to do it soon. I told your grandfather about Iwajinkan. Your grandfather can't lie.... I hid something from your grandfather. I'm sorry, you're right."
Takenaka Maru bowed her head to her brother. My Lord and I bowed our heads to imitate it. I could see my brother laughing when I dull.
"You're still evil, Takenaka Maru. As long as it's reliable.... I have nothing to apologize to Non. It's up to Non to apologize. I've put a lot of effort into that."
"Grandpa..."
"It was only with the strength that I could return to Kyo. I appreciate it."
"... sorry"
My brother laughed out loud this time when Takenaka Maru apologized again.
"Even though it doesn't seem like it, Takenaka Maru. So, what about Shipwood Castle?"
"Uhm. Funagi Castle is a castle that holds the mouth of the Anjo River, and in times of need it becomes a packed castle to Shimizu Mountain. Neither can this one be deposited with the few. So I decided to ask my great-uncle."
"... so much"
My brother nodded at the words of Young Maru Takeshi. Once again I felt the weight of the words of Takenaka Maru, whose relatives moaned that they could not count on it.
"Shimizu Mountain, Shipwood intends to build shiitake mushrooms, iron cannons, knives and clear liquor. Transfer some blacksmiths and craftsmen from decaying trees. And my great-uncle, I want you to make nitrous stones even in the wood."
"Understood."
"I'm going to keep buying nitrous stones. I don't want them to know I'm making nitrous stones. Ask the Lord for the purchase of nitrous stones. I don't buy large quantities, buy them appropriately, it is important that decaying trees are buying nitrous stones. And I hope they make gunpowder with the nitrous stones they made in Nishiyama."
"Ha."
The Lord snorts. I see. Is it the nitrous stone that keeps the Lord's Hall in decaying trees?
"I'm sorry, Lord. Then you'll just have to do some plain work."
"I can tell you what. With the help of His Highness, Decaying Tree became Takashima's best force. I'm looking forward to whatever it is you can do to help me."
"The Lord is right. My lord, don't be shy of our parents and our children."
Takeshi Young-maru bowed his head again, "I'm sorry." Well, what we expect from Plum Maru may also be atonement for us.
"Basically, the newly acquired Castle of the Seven Heads of Takashima is going to be an abandoned castle except for its abode. It's a castle to be left behind, but neither the castle owner nor the castle will pay for it for the time being. I'm sorry, but I need you to look around properly with your uncle and uncle."
My brother sighed and said, "I have to go." I do have to.
"The military will also use this as an opportunity to reorganize. I hire soldiers with money, so I can hire 2,000 or 3,000, but I don't want to be forced and I don't want to stimulate my surroundings. The strength of Decaying Wood is one thousand and six hundred, and only a thousand can go outside, and I intend to do so."
A thousand and six hundred, I understood that the decaying tree had grown again.
"Goro, the guard will be removed from the artillery team."
"Well, you're taking it off?
"Uhm. I'll leave the artillery squad to another human being. I'll have Goro guard by my side as my deputy general. There's nothing you can do if you don't teach me how to move a soldier. Shape it during the year. I'm going to be able to get it out next year. The artillery squad will be enhanced. I want 300."
Brother, I met the Lord with his face. Takenaka Maru is in quite a hurry.
"I'm in a hurry, do you have anything?
When my brother asked, Takenaka Maru said "Yes”.
"Young narrow is unstable. Besides, Kyo's public servant, what do you think of Sanho... I have no idea what a decaying tree could do to a thousand soldiers. So we have to hurry up and get ready."
Oh, boy. Do you mean you have to get more worried about not having to be small? Apparently, the situation surrounding decaying trees is a little bright......
Yonglu II (1559) Mid June Takashima, Omijiang County Yanaigawa Village Shimizu Yamashiro Takerakamaru
The landscape from Shimizu Mountain Castle at the end of the planting also saw many paddies with prominent blue on Biwa Lake and neglect. It would be around the time cotton started sprouting and growing in the field. The first thing I did when I moved from decaying trees to Shimizu Mountain Castle was to give the people cotton seeds. If this area becomes a cotton growing area, the boats of Lake Biwa will use sails made of cotton from here. And a young, narrow ship will use decaying wooden sails.
When he abolished the customs office in the territory and set the tax rate of his annual contribution to four or six citizens, he put out a touch (f). The inhabitants are happy, but it is only after autumn that they realize the effect. Until then, we must hit governance with great care. And Rakuma Rakuza, anyway, deregulation and deregulation of vested interests. If we do not do this, the economy in the territory will not be revitalized. Strengthening the economy is more important than hiring soldiers.
Nobunaga Oda went up in February. Nobunaga seems to have wanted to come to Decaying Tree. But this one is at war. Looks like he decided it wasn't a good idea to get involved and went back to Oozheng through the South Omi River. Too bad, I missed you if I could. Yoshihui Akali of Kyo gladly wrote about Nobunaga in his letter. The general's authority is being restored, I guess that's what you think.
Well, I can't help but be glad. When it came to February, it was time for Kamihiro Nagato to be decided. And in April, Jingtiu rose. Permission to assume the Kanto administration and obey Major General Shimogami in the fourth position? I guess both Yoshihui and the Morning Court expect from Jinghu. But, hey, head straight back home. Why do you want to come to me? I want you to stop wanting to see me then because I'll be back around summer. He's a bad alcoholic. Even in Kyou, Yoshihui, the three of Kimbai's predecessors, were drunk by Gudengdan after drinking. Don't make loud noises like “We're gonna make a big deal” or “Let's pull in the decaying tree”. The neighborhood would be annoying.
But now I know that it is one thousand five hundred and fifty-nine A.D. Next year we will be busy for a thousand five hundred and sixty years. There is a battle between the barrels, and there is a battle between the wild fields in Omi. I don't know what happens to decaying trees either. We must keep our territory together and prepare our armaments. That's all we can do at the moment.
From Kyo, two of the four uncles came back to the decaying tree: the uppermost vine and the second Naruto. Seems Yoshihui also intended for the two of them to come back this way. I want to have a closer relationship with Decaying Tree by returning the two sides of Yoshihui, that's what I thought. I feel like they gave me some kind of mine. I have no idea how far I can count on it. I dare to entrust three hundred artillery squads to Fujitsu and one hundred horseback squads to Chengtsu. Later, 300 spears at the left gate, 300 archers at the guard, that's the formation of the externally used Decaying Wood Army.
The Battle of Decaying Wood Valley seems to have a great reputation in Kyo. According to that reputation, Takashima Echinaka and the others attacked me with four times as many soldiers. I told them not to make the UAE people laugh, but they said they would slap me. And you went out with a single sidebar in plain clothes screaming at Tsurugi and shouting at his enemies to that extent if they were stupid enough to wear armor. And Nagata and the four of them fled because they were afraid of me and abandoned the castle. Apparently, Ayama wrote a letter to Hitoi. Where did he get it? My head hurts.
They say the Decaying Wood Soldier is incredibly powerful and will also kick four times as many enemies. That's an irresponsible rumor, I'd like to think so. Yoshihui apparently has a verse in which he seriously wonders if he can use the Decaying Wood Soldier. There was a hexagon behind this case, and I felt quite distrustful about the hexagon. Expectations of decaying trees grew only for that matter. That seems to be the case. Give me a break, I'm not stupid enough to fight a three-way opponent.
Nothing busy at all. There were reports from Yamen that a person believed to be a Koga recently roamed the Decaying Tree Territory. Thank you. Hexagons seem to be trying to find the presence of the eight gates. And Heazo thinks he might be looking for survival and a place to stay during Takashima Vietnam. It seems like it could be both.
Heavy Zao told me not to worry, I am not immature enough to get my tail grabbed by Koga. The Saddle Horse Ninja came buried in the darkness of history. There seems to be quite a bit of hostility between Koga and Iga, who were in the spot where the sun hit. I hope I don't have to......
Perhaps the happiest one right now is Echinaka. He is now secretly hidden in Yamen and in Sun Fu. It can't be a parent's feud, but it can be a living witness. He asked Yamen for protection, but saw Kichinai as dangerous and dropped it on Sunfu. He's working there now, buying and selling rice. He was meant for business because he was originally a man who loved money. Takeda, Kitajo, and Imagawa seem to be squeezing money from Akogi. Next year there will be barrel cramps and Kanto troopers from Jinghu. Next year is the Fourth River Nakajima. I guess I can't stop laughing. I wanted to go that way too...
