When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Tianzheng Five Years (1581), Mid March, Hachigi Castle, Hachima-cho, Fusheng County, Omijiang

"We'll have to go to war again in a month. Gui, hate your body. Don't push it."

You're getting a little stomach swelling. Is he a man? Is that a woman?

"Yes, but I miss you. What time will you be back?"

"Come on, I think we can go back in the summer..."

"Well, not so much"

Oh, no, I'm a little troubled when you're sad like that...

"Sister, I'm having trouble with your style."

"But..."

That's why I don't have eyes like that. Please, don't cry, no tears before the war. Be very careful here......

"Gui,... I'll be back as soon as I can. It's going to get hot gradually. Watch your body."

"Yes."

Gui nodded honestly. Yeah, you're a good listener. I think it had the effect of being harsh. My sister's chrysanthemum is laughing at couscous. These two girls are laurels and my sister is chrysanthemums, but sometimes I wonder if it's the other way around. It feels like an unreliable sister and a solid sister. His father's name, his brother's name, both would have been worried about Gui. What makes you think this, but it's definitely for the side chamber. I am anxious to be able to protect my absence in the normal room.

"When we get back, we have to proceed with the daisy wedding."

"Yes."

The chrysanthemum nodded.

"There are two Cold Springs. The Upper Cold Springs and Lower Cold Springs houses are the mainstay of the Lower Cold Springs and Cold Springs houses where daisy marries. Third Chancellor of the Lower Cold Springs family accompanied me during the battle at the sowing. I remember him well because he had only a few enemies and only a few allies in sowing. It would have taken a lot of courage to take my side."

The chrysanthemum looks happy. My daughter-in-law's house is connected to the Decaying Wood family. My lord has a thing for me. The future is bright, I guess that's what you thought.

According to Ayama, from time to time, the Cold Springs family is divided into the Upper Cold Springs family and the Lower Cold Springs family, but the Upper Cold Springs family is the lineage of the eldest son, and the Lower Cold Springs family is the lineage of the second son. But the Lower Cold Springs family is seen more from the mainstream and surroundings. The Lower Cold Springs family seems to be a good home for the world. Or am I lucky? During the Muromachi period, the Akali family extended their momentum. And now it's closely connected to the Decaying Wood family. Perhaps the third prime minister is most pleased with Gui's fertility. If the child born of the laurel is a girl, the Lower Cold Springs family will be able to relate to the house where the decaying tree family and its girl will be married.

I went back between the calendars and grabbed a pot of tambourine. Still good color gloss. I have a few things to think about. I told Gui that I thought I could go back in the summer, but I'm not sure I can be honest. I don't think Oda will resist strongly. Oda's relatives, the heavy ministers, have said that most of them will not resist. As expected, we lost Sansuke. Perhaps the tail tension is easily captured. Misuke stays in Oozhong and cuts his stomach, or dumps Oozhong and runs away.

The question is, would Oda collapse like a domino? Ozhang, Mikawa, Far River, Surugawa, Izu. The Oda family's reign may break down in no time. It's the same as the collapse of Takeda in historical reality, that was not long ago either. Takeda, who was proud of his strength, almost never resisted and perished. The only person who resisted was Seung-Joon's half-brother, Takayuan Castle of Shengxin Peeke. If Oda became the same, how far should Decaying Wood go in the soldiers...

If you proceed with Migawa, Far River, Surugawa, Izu and the soldiers after the Ozhang attack, you will gradually advance the soldiers to the back. I kinda hate it. If they get in the back and block the rear...... You may worry too much because you have no enemies like you. But that doesn't mean there's a zero chance of a riot. The Western Three Rivers were home to Tokugawa. I have a bad feeling about it.

But the abandonment isn't funny either, the confusion is visible. Besides, it's time for Uesugi to go back over. If so, Tokugawa can also be considered to extend his power to Sungawa and Izu. It'll be a hassle later. Let's still advance the soldiers and attack them all at once. Then it would be better to think about replenishment not only by land, but also by sea. Nine ghosts, you should ask Horiuchi for an escort. In that case, the starting points for replenishment are Kumana, Anetsu, and Osaka. And once the Saji Navy of the Chita Peninsula is on our side, we can also put Saji in escort. Fortunately, Lord Sage, Shinji Yaro has said that he will be on our side. There should be no problem.

We have to hold Tsushima down more than we can control Ogi. The problem is the Tsushima Fifteen. I still don't return a clear answer to Xiao Wei's manoeuvres. Because I have ties to Oda, it must be hard to turn around. But I'm lost, if it stays that way, then it's my job. Let's invade from Ise and successfully hold the Chita Peninsula from Tsushima. Let Yagoro hold Seto down. hold back not only the major military shocks but also economic interests. You must also teach Yagoro around it.

And the pawnshop. I want to be on my side without crushing it if I can. So far, no good reply has come from the head of the Ikoma family, Shigemen Hachiro. Well, Misuke's mother is Yaro Weimen's sister, so she probably thinks she can't be seen to death. But I hear that the power of the pawn family stretches to Migawa, Mino, and Hida. That power cannot be ignored. Geographically speaking, I will be in charge of Yagoro. Not to mention......

I have to go to Shoguno's mansion later. He's falling ill and sleeping. I'm old enough. Goro Weimen, the groom may have died and been depressed. It's going to be hot, I want you to manage to get better... Let's go see him later or even take him to Castella. Because I like sweet things with those tough faces, you'll love it.

Tianzheng Five Years (1581) Late March Ozhang Guo Haidong County Tsushima Village Nunoya Castle Bridge General

"It's getting a lot warmer."

"Nothing."

It's definitely getting warmer. Young leaves are also sprouted in the garden trees. But I don't feel like my heart is floating. They've said they want to see the garden when they come to the castle. I guess it's hard to talk in the castle. I can imagine what to say.

"Was there an emissary of decaying trees at the behest of Shoji Wazumi?

"I'm here. Goro, where is Lieutenant Rightmen?

Here we are.

Lieutenant Goro Rightemon nodded as he walked next door. Grandfather Goro Rightmen Lieutenant Soo-hey, the age is already over fifty or walks cat-backed. He is one of the wings of our Ohashi family and a cleric of Tsushima Shrine. If you're going to attack Tsushima, is it natural for a messenger to come?

"The Messenger of Decaying Trees said that Tsushima's interests would be maintained even on behalf of Decaying Trees. Rather, he said it would be better to belong to decaying trees if we thought about earlier things. Naturally, if you're hostile..."

Goro, Lieutenant Rightmen said Bosoboso as he walked. Hostile will take it, needless to say.

"What can you do?

……

"Everyone is worried. Okamoto, Yamagawa, Hengkawa..."

And Horida, Hirano, Hattori, Mano, Suzuki, Kawamura, Koga, Usami, Utsumiya, Kaita, and Nomura. Fifteen if you let the bridge in. Fifteen families that have ruled this Tsushima. The Ohashi family is the leader of the fifteen families. Everyone is watching the trend. Has everyone asked you to come here, old man? If so, everyone's heart would have been wrapped up in decaying trees. I may have already replied to Decaying Tree. Lieutenant Goro Rightemon stopped his leg and stretched his back.

"Uggs."

"Tsubaki?"

Goro, Lieutenant Rightemon nodded. “Ho ho ho kekyo," I heard him. I didn't realize it was ringing.

"You have a beautiful voice.... The Great Ruckus will sound soon enough, pawnbirds in the summer. I'm looking forward to it."

"Right."

“Ho ho ho kekyo," I heard another squeal. Lieutenant Goro Rightemon is listening to the squeal with a grin. I enjoy it. I have an old scratch on my cheek. When I was younger, it was a wound shot with an arrow out on the battlefield. It is the pride of this old man to say that blood overflowed his mouth and soothed his thirst with that blood. I'm proud to say that I lost the most blood and fainted on the battlefield. When I was young, I was well heard.

"What did your mother say?

"Nothing in particular"

Goro, Lieutenant Rightemon looked at this one and said, "On your left.” I walked out on my cat back again.

"What about Master Kanqiro?

"Neither did my brother."

"On your left."

……

"Apparently, it's Shodo Wazumi who's lost and come, but there won't be much time left. Decaying trees are steadily getting ready. George is also attached to a decaying tree."

"Oh my..."

“It's true," said Lieutenant Goro Rigamen.

Hachiro Sajiro Shinji of the Chita Peninsula attached to the decaying tree...

"Ise is already on decaying tree territory, and if Chita were attached to decaying trees... Dear Shosho Wazumi, please understand."

"Tsushima is surrounded."

When I answered, Lieutenant Goro Rightemon nodded.

The perimeter was solidified. Is resistance pointless? No, I haven't thought about resistance or anything from the start...... You have to make a decision. That would be to the detriment of the Ohashi family and Tsushima if we were late. Now we have promised to retain our rights, but if we delay any longer, we can rebel. My mother is a member of the Oda family. No further patrols are allowed.

"Let's get the messenger out of our house to the decaying tree"

"On your left."

The reply didn't sound good, but the tone clearly had a palliative color.

"I seem to have worried everyone, too. Don't get me wrong. I'm going to talk to everyone from a certain point of view."

"That would be nice. No, it was worth it to be here. At this age, I am not afraid of death, but I have heard the voice of the bird, so if I can, I want to grow old listening to that voice..."

The old man smiled calmly.

After the old man left, he visited my mother's room. My mother also seemed concerned about the visit of Lieutenant Goro Rightmen. My mother asked me what kind of story I had.

"Says George followed the decaying tree."

My mother closed her eyes.

"Does Saji say that Lord Yaro is attached to a decaying tree?

"Yes."

"Really?"

I exhaled heavily.

Nobuyoshi Saji, his wife is the late Oda's sister princess, the dog. And my mother in front of me hits Oda, your dog's sister. In other words, from my point of view, Misuke is my cousin and Yaro Saji is younger, but he becomes my uncle.

"As I'm sure you know, Decaying Tree admitted the Rock Village Far Mountain Hall of Fang Maru as a trace as it was. Decaying trees don't seem to be bound by that kind of thing anymore. It's an extremely easy match for a house connected to Oda."

My mother nodded.

"What are you going to do?

"I'm going to attach something to decaying trees, too. I want you to understand."

My mother shook her head to the side.

"You don't need to be reluctant to me. Think about how you can protect Tsushima, the owner of the Ohashi family."

"Thank you."

"How's Kanqiro?

"My brother said he would obey my judgment."

My mother nodded.

"My father, the Secretary of State for Central Affairs, also made a very painful decision. Originally, Tsushima was an autonomous town, but the Oda family tried to control its finances. It was a battle, but there was no way he could have fought the Oda family, and he married me to his wife."

"Yes, that's what I'm asking"

"It would have been humiliating, but that protected both Tsushima's prosperity and the Ohashi family. As I said earlier, think only about how you can protect the Ohashima family."

"Yes."

The same would have been true of my mother, who suffered. My eyes were never warm when I saw my mother, who had been married to the Ohashi family. But in doing so, he tried to become a bridge between the Ohashi and Oda families. Tsushima's prosperity also grew as the Oda family grew larger. But the Oda family is about to perish... Do not crush, it is only if you become that you do not crush this Bridge family. My mother only has the Ohashi family now.

"Send Messengers to the Decaying Wood Family"

My mother nodded.

Early New Year's Eve (1581), Hachigi Castle, Hachima-cho, Hachima-cho, Hachima-sheng County, Omi

Father was watching the lake in the Tabernacle.

"Father, did I ask you to call?

"Um, are you here? Come here."

"Ha."

When I stopped by, my father ordered me to "stand down, just the two of you”. Sakichi Ishida, Sun 6 Kato, Shinkuro Kitajo, Shinkuro Akechi, Yoshibui Kuroda, Yoichiro Hoshikawa, Jiro Yoshikawa and Shishiro Kohayakawa dropped. There is no consultancy duplicate. When I asked Father, he answered that it was the visit of Shoguno Kamato. Señor Shimono seems to be very ill.

"Tsushima's bridge was on my side. Now Tsushima belongs to decaying trees."

"Congratulations"

"Saji of Chita has already said that he will be on his side. Now we have no obstacle whatsoever in attacking Tail Tension from Ise. And Sansuke can't use the sea, he has to flee Cage Castle or Land Road to Sanhe in Qingzhou Castle."

Is there a problem with your father's aggressiveness?

"How about an offensive muscle from Mino? What did the Kawakami say?

"I've said I can't be on my side, but I can't be hostile. And pawns."

Don't you want to be on your side? I'm seeing how things are going.

"Isn't that funny?

"Oh, no."

My father looked at me funny. It was embarrassing, I hear my emotions will be on my face soon.

"At least he says he can't be an enemy. That's good. And if it's hard to be on your side, I'm the one who told you to keep your hands down."

"But I don't trust you to see how things are going."

"Yagoro, don't hunt down too much"

"What? I didn't mean don't hunt him down..."

Father looks at the lake. But there was no laugh that seemed as pleasant as usual.

"You don't think those guys see a winning or losing trend?

……

"Naturally we shall see. But they also have a brother-in-law and a favor. The answer to the survival of the house and its scales is no enemy or ally."

"... so forgive me?

My father saw me, and he glanced back at the lake again.

"It's sad that you don't have the power. Sometimes you have to throw away your brother-in-law and your will before you say you will protect your home. Sometimes you have to feel like sipping muddy water."

……

"Those guys would have sided with Decaying Wood if Oda hadn't been grateful. Saying you can't be on either side is the last thing to do with Oda. He begs Oda for forgiveness for not attacking him. One mistake could crush the house, a choice on top of that. Understand him."

"Yes."

I see. Is that the way you see it?

"Has your father ever felt that way?

My father saw me.

"What makes you think that?

"I was wondering if your father would know what it's like to be a river coven because he felt that way before."

My father turned away.

"... not just back in the day, I still do if it's a bitter thought. Others may not think so."

"Father..."

Even now?

"Yagoro, a man cannot leave grace, brother-in-law, or face more than he is alive. It has nothing to do with the gender of men and women. Understand that. When you step on someone else too much, you don't think they understand their heart. Sooner or later, there will be a return."

"Yes, be careful"

My father nodded.

"I helped Mitsuro Oda with the tactics, but I won't let him go along with this attack on Oda. It's hard to see where Oda collapses. I want Mitsuro to work for Tokugawa."

"Yes."

"This time the river crowd, I put up a pawn face. However, I will not tolerate slackening after becoming a minister of decaying trees. All right?"

"Yes."

Do you think they should take their position into account and not forget their strictness as masters? It's just so hard. It still doesn't extend to your father. But at some point I want to be a man like my father and no wonder I stand next to him.
