Yonglu Thirteen Years (1570) Late January: Shizuhama Shizuzuzuhama, Ichika-gun, Omijiang Shizutsuhama Shizuzuzuhama Castle Sequoia Keisha

Your grandfather is dead. It was around the time of last year's twilight, when I thought I'd get ready for New Year's. He suddenly went up to the platform and looked outside the castle. I wonder if it was cold, I got a fever from that night. When I went to Shimizu Mountain Castle for the reward, it was after I left the world already. I think it might be pneumonia. What did you think and climb to the platform when you said that it would not be fun to see more of the scenery this time of year?

The Decaying Wood family canceled all New Year's celebrations and became funeral colors. It's New Year's Eve, the most visible time of the year. I told the ministers to spend the funeral as usual because the funeral would be done in the body, but most of them attended. Instead of qualities in shade, it became a grand funeral. The public houses also came from Kyo. Tomori Yoshiaki, no, you're Yoshiaki, I changed my name early in the year. A messenger came from Yoshiaki as well. It was a hassle responding, I'm tired.

Death beyond the age of seventy. Besides, Decaying Tree is a big name. Everyone said they were freshmen. I don't know if I got into heaven or not. It could have been a life short for your grandfather. I think what your grandfather really wanted was for me to rebuild the Takeshi Shogun. It could have been heartily satisfactory if it had been in charge, like hexagonal trust.

But I couldn't trust him. That's why I explored the path of independence while taking advantage of my interests. It would have been a pleasure for your grandfather to have a big decaying tree, but there would have been a bit of loneliness. Because my dreams crumble. I wasn't much of a good grandson. I appreciate it, Grandpa. You didn't push me the way I wanted. So I was free to move on.

I found a note from your room addressed to me. The contents contained memories of me. Fishing in the Anjo River, teaching horseback riding, accompanying the first team, etc. It said it was fun. At the end of the day, live without remorse, it said that there was no need to shy away from Non.... I wonder if the view was the only thing your grandfather saw from the platform. Maybe he was looking at something else, the world he wanted.

Hokuriku also took control of Nobu and calmed down. Return to Shimizu Mountain Castle? It also makes sense to say that you can't leave Aya Mama alone and let her stare at Kyo. Now that Takayama is powerless, the presence of Matsunaga in Yamato is important. It doesn't matter what Yoshiaki is, but Matsunaga needs to show his support. Besides, Shimizu Mountain Castle is easier to meet my great-uncle. It will be early enough to have a castle in the South Koe next year. We haven't even decided where yet. The military says you can't go near Kannonji Castle. So it won't be cheap soil. Hachi or Otsu?

"My lord, Lord Heavy Zone."

"Don't be shy, get in."

When I answered the words of my last name, Heavy Zone came into my room.

"I'm sorry I'm resting."

"No, it was just good. I don't think about being busy when I'm free. It's a small human vessel."

He looked like he was in trouble. Yeah, well, you can't agree to that because your master said your vessel was small. You said something stupid.

So, what happened?

"Long Island is moving frequently"

……

"Looks like they're sending a messenger to the people of North Ise."

"Finally starting to move, where?

"Kusanaga. Ito Takeshimen, Built-in Fuguchi, Yabe Right-Mayun. I think they're sending in something else."

"Well, that's where you'd expect it."

Heavy zoo nodded.

After the Ise attack, Nagashima always panicked a little. Well, I can't help it, the Buddha enemy Decaying Tree quickly attacked Ise and captured him. It must have been hard to believe that Hokusai had surrendered with little or nothing to do. Nagashima's strategy is to turn the people of North Ise around behind decaying trees that take time to attack North Ise. It would have been like that. But the strategy was broken. I would have felt the pressure from being pressurized. Nagashima has always rushed to purchase troops, weapons and soap. And the reinforcement of the soldiers, the participation of the Miscellaneous People, has also been confirmed. The force would exceed 30,000. You're desperate.

The preparation neglected Mitsugawa's constant support. Only for that matter did Oda and Tokugawa Coalition always have an advantage over Ichiko in the Western Three Rivers. Nobunaga, Jiayang sent me a thank-you note. I guess that means we're finally getting ready for a battle against decaying trees. Nagashima, no, I've always tried to break the foot of a decaying tree. This is what we're going to do.

"What's the move of the Chinese people?

"There has never been a single movement in tune so far. The Ise offensive was vibrant, and the Chinese people seemed cautious."

"But you didn't say anything to me. Looking good."

"Ha."

I don't think it's cowardice. I mean, I don't know them yet. Even the historical fact is that the Chinese people of North Ise have always flanked Nobunaga in tune with Nagashima. The people of Ise are never easy to rule. And North Ise has a strong influence in the Long Island Petition Certificate Temple.

I have not implemented the abolition of Seki in Ise or Rakuma Rakuza. And the conscription of the people is not forbidden either. Maintain status quo. The reason is simple, as long as you rely on the civilian soldiers, the time for military action is limited even if you flip an anti-flag at me. If it's easy to deal with that. You don't have to bother with things.

"Umedo, is there a thousand species in there?

"No, there are no such signs."

"How's the south?

There's no direct messenger service.

"Osaka."

Heavy zoo nodded. Umedo, did you decide there was no prospect of a thousand species? Hokusai is cautious.

"To be honest, Duizo. Kusana, Mie County won't do it. Now he's following me, but he sees me in tune with Long Island. Mulberry County and Asahi County will also have quite a few national crowds in tune. North Ise needs a re-expedition. If Umedo and Thousand Kinds follow here, there is no problem. The people on Long Island crush them all. Nagashima attack followed."

Heavy Zao got a sinister look, but he didn't deny it. I guess you didn't think it was wrong by and large. Even in historical fact, Nobunaga has quite a burning hand in Ise rule. Nobunaga's reign of Ise was completed after Nagashima had crushed all of Nagashima and pushed the Hokushima clan closer to killing them all.

"My lord, this is Mise."

"Yeah."

"Looks like he's sending out a messenger to Yoshio"

"Right."

Heavy Zoe is staring at me. Mise, Kitatsuji, and its neighbors live in the hall. It's not a castle, it's only a hall. There is no small room in the bungalow. It was built last year in a museum with no defensive functions, and it was completed to some extent this year, so it moved.

The old ministers of Hokkaido are all kinds. He who serves me, he who has become a wanderer, he who has always joined the Nagashima clan, and he who has followed the Hokkaido clan. The trouble in this is not that Nagashima has always been a part of this. The one who serves me and the one who became a wanderer. How do these guys move when something happens... Imagine a headache.

"Probably even asking for the restoration of the Hokkaido family. You must be saying Yoshio won't do anything wrong. You must be in a good mood to get caught up in Hokkaido early in the New Year."

Is that more important to Hokkaido than working with Nagashima?

Maybe after you let me fight Sanho and become a general, you want to restore Kitami, say it's the general's order, etc. I don't know what the price is. Appointment to guardianship of the country. Yoshiaki is a man who thinks the same as a dog such as Daimyo, you can use it like a general is good, I think so. There are no shards of good faith in a sentence that asks for a favor from that man.

"What can you do?

"You can't just say you sent a messenger to Yoshiaki."

……

Heavy zoo nodded.

"How's Osaka?

"It's not just Kitakyu, it's connected to Long Island."

"And the pirates of Shima?

"Yes."

"Nine Ghosts said they would attack Shima starting this year. Expect it there first."

What a poor countermeasure. Unsullied.

Nobunaga's Nagashima has been fought three times. I can only say that the first and second failures were due to the fact that one of the causes of the defeat was the lack of maritime control. Nobunaga went on to consider the first Long Island attack the same as a normal land war. That is why I underestimated the retention of maritime control. But not the second time. Nobunaga valued the retention of maritime control, but failed. The reason is simple, Ise Daima, who was wielding great power in Ise Bay's maritime control, and this guy is autonomous by the Sakai-like congregation, but he was always under the influence of Nagashima's central force, the Petition Certificate Temple.

Nobunaga tried to put Ise Otomo on his side, but it didn't go well. I persuaded him to use Hokusai, but it didn't work either. It's not going to work, Kitami is anti-Oda. During Shingen Takeda's Upper Lo, he even made a pact to let the ship out and cooperate. I can easily imagine where the ship is. In short, Osaka, Nagashima and Kitami had a cooperative system in place against Oda. In this world it replaced decaying trees. Besides, they are turning to the enemies of Shima's pirates. The situation is similar to or close to Nobunaga.

"I'm going to build Heavy Zone, Yakaze Street, Thousand Kinds of Street, Ise Street, but I wonder"

"… to facilitate the movement of the military."

"On the face of it, it's to make it easier for merchants to come and go. North China cannot be serviced by snow during the winter months. Order the soldiers to give priority to Ise."

I thought it was a good idea.

"Attack Shima when the streets are finished. Support the Nine Ghosts."

"Ha."

You need to put at least 20,000 in North Ise when attacking Shima. What an inefficient battle. Was it Otomo after that?

"I think I'm going to remodel the Anetsu Castle in Takisho Hoshino. In a big castle, not a small castle like the one we have now. Prepare the castle towns and make them thrive like the beaches they are today. There's a nice bunch over there, I don't know if it'll be busy."

"Otomo, to keep Kitakuchi under control."

"Well yes. And let's renovate Nagano Castle. Consolidate your defense. There's something about Kitano, and I don't have to worry about the Nagano people betraying me any more than the bells are here."

The idiots built the castle for the bells, but they're going to say they renovated the castle. In future generations they will say Loricon. You may not be able to return the bell to Nagano. It's really going to be a side room. Nanjin Castle and Nagano Castle are behind us. For the time being, I am patient in Shimizu Mountain Castle.

"My Lady."

"Yes, yes, grow up. Matsuchiyo is asleep."

When Takenagi Young-maru sweetened and hugged him, the old man hugged him happily and slapped him in the back with a ton. And I let him sit on my lap.

"You'll be heavy every day, Little Night Hall"

"Yes, there are times when I think it's heavier when I hold it up"

The old man snorted.

"You'll be happy, envious."

"... envious?

When I asked him unexpectedly, he laughed like he was in trouble.

"Because that kid didn't sweeten me"

That girl?

"... Your Highness?

"Yes."

I was surprised. My lord also had a time to be sweet to the lord. But it wasn't sweet? Takeshi Young-maru moved frequently on Takeshi's lap, and Takeshi embarrassed him to “grow up”.

"He was a child who rarely cried and could not help himself. I was quick to get a swaddle and I was quick to talk. But I've never been as sweet as this girl... I didn't even like being held up. I wasn't even interested in childish play, so I was alone all the time and thought I was a stranger from around. He gave me a chance to figure out how to handle it..."

……

I was struck in the chest by the lonely face of a large man.

"After my husband died, I was suddenly a grown-up and confused. I'm a child but I'm not a child, I can't treat you as a child, I had to treat you as an adult if I realized it. Both the deceased Hideaway and me..."

"... I think the lord worked hard to protect the house of decaying trees."

The old man nodded.

"Right, I think so. But what did she think of me..."

I thought you were lonely. And I feel sorry for my lord.

"I think my lord admires the Daimyo. This is how I came back to Shimizu Mountain Castle."

……

"Tell me you can't do this alone."

"Really?"

"Yes, my lord is kind. Your mouth is a little bad though."

"... aren't you scared, that kid?"

I got hit in the chest. Are you afraid of your lord?

"No, I'm not afraid."

The old man looked at me still. And he smiled.

"Please keep asking for her."

"Yes."

Yonglu thirteen years (1570), early March, Fusei Dingshu, Shimizuishi Yamashiro, Yanaigawa Village, Takashima County, Omi

A messenger came from Bulletin Matsunaga of Yamato. The messenger is Sanyun vs. Horse Guard, a strange messenger. His Highness commanded him not to meet him, but to respond to him. "It's been a long time, even tea would be nice to talk to." It doesn't look like they're trying. It's more like looking into the belly of a cloud. I responded with Sanyun vs. Horseshoe at the Academy.

"I didn't expect to see Shimono like this."

"That's the same thing here. Long time no see, Shigemitsu. Doesn't change a bit."

"Señor Shimono seems a little old, so after six years, you can't do it."

"Uhm."

We sipped tea from each other.

"Seems to be trusted for a long time, I heard it's increased"

"Ten thousand stones of hiding have been added, and it will be over in one generation."

"I've been entrusted with a response."

"Maybe they're trying."

"I'm not nervous about it"

"See? Decaying trees are houses that pay for their past, if they work. Are you coming too? I'm sure you'll be honored."

"Let's not"

Rejected with laughter. It would be treated quite well in the Matsunaga family.

"And what's the messenger's fun?

"Uhm, as you already know, Fukaori is now at the bottom of the fifth position, left horse head."

"The next time you enter the capital, you will be declared a general."

"Uhm."

The horse guard nodded.

Sanko was defeated by Decaying Wood in the Battle of Mountain Family. That strengthened the power of decaying trees. But Sanhao's downfall gave Sanhao a boost to his strength. And Kyo is being held back by Sanhao, the next general contest has been dominated by Furyuki-sama.

"My Lord wants to know how the Decaying Wood House is going to be"

"My lord does nothing."

The look on his face clouded.

"Allegedly"

"I can't move."

"Can't you move?"

"I can't move. There are 30,000 people in Nagashima. There are few in North Ise who are in tune with it. Besides, in the south, there is a Hokkaido looking to recover. Ise is ostensibly decaying, but the inner part is the battlefield where Decaying Wood, Nagashima, and Kitatsuba compete. I can't afford to be elsewhere. My lord always says so. Come. I think so, too."

The horseman guard exhaled small.

"Ise was concerned here, but apparently it's worse than I expected."

"Let Yoshiaki attack Mitsuki and tell him to occupy Kyo."

"Yoshiaki asks for a deviant doctor."

"I just get in the way for it. Nerdon, Kitakyu"

"My Lord has done the same..."

"I'm happy to hear it. But we have to get results. Without the Kitami case, Ise would have been the only problem in Nagashima and Kitami Ise."

Did you think the face of the horseman guard was distorted or distorted? But the truth is, my lord has a headache about it.

"If Aiji becomes the fourteenth generation, it is imperative that Mitsuya Toyotomi and Yasuke Regent are attacked by Yamato. I can't count on you anymore, Master Tsuyama."

"Agree."

"Lord, Bulletin wants to join forces with the great butcher."

"As I said earlier, we can't move."

"Have you ever asked Nishikoe to send soldiers? 10,000, 20,000 if you can."

"Traffic."

"Ranari, how about it?

The Horseshooter stared at this one.

"Is Yamato tough?

"... quite harsh to be honest. The Matsunaga family is always at a disadvantage. Until now, we have managed to fight each other in cooperation with the Hayama family... In the next battle, the enemy will attack Shinkiyama Castle first. Now that the Kuyama family has been forced by Kii, there is no need to worry about being blackmailed for attacking Shinkiyama Castle. How long will Shinki Mountain Castle last?"

Shingui Mountain Castle is a hold on Hanoi, Tatsuya Mountain Castle is a hold on Yamato, and for Matsunaga, you can't lose both castles. The tone of the anti-horse guard had a sinking sound.

"It was fortunate that Dr. Otani moved his residence to Shimizu Yamashiro. The enemy has obviously begun to show a move that emphasizes the Kyoto-side. Whatever you say, the only one who has won the battle against Sanho in recent years is the Great Dining Doctor. It's not just Sanho, Kyo's public houses can't ignore it either. If you send troops to Kyou, your enemies will have to send troops to protect Kyou. It only makes this one easier for me. Still, I don't know if I can protect Nobuyama Castle..."

"... let's talk to your lord"

"Boom."
