When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Early July (1587) Mountain City Guokushi County Shijima Village Shijima City Decaying Tree Tsunami

"Brother, it's a great castle. We're surrounded by ponds."

Tens of thousands of generations are shining their eyes.

"Right."

Indeed, the landscape you can see from the platform is amazing. This castle floats in the pond. In other words, the pond is a natural moat. It's not easy to drop.

There are two thousand original guards and three thousand soldiers led by their father in this castle. Five thousand. Five hundred of my father's three thousand soldiers are artillery. There will also be artillery in the castle, if there are two hundred, there will be seven hundred. There's nothing to block around, and if you can't hide yourself, the artillery will be powerful. The drop-off must be aggressive.

"Here comes reinforcements from Omi while they're caged. It's no use trying to commit a conspiracy against your father."

Tens of thousands of generations say "hmm”. How would you attack me? We have to attack and crush it in a short time. If so, ignore the damage and attack unimpeded... Soldiers will need at least 30,000. Will it still fall......

"Brother, are you in this castle?

Tens of thousands of generations have asked, lurking their voices.

"What?"

"I'm Toyochiyo's mother. Rumor has it she's the daughter of a public house, the woman of a fairly stately house..."

Thousands of generations are intriguing, but I'm not.

"Come on, I don't know."

Now there are 30,000 soldiers who will break your father's heart? He's not here. The Hokuriku clan is also limited to seven thousand. In seven thousand this castle will not fall. That's a big one later. Destroy the castle in a large cylinder. But then Father will strike out. Seven to five thousand, or I still can't. The conspiracy will not succeed.

"Don't you care about my brother?

Don't worry about it.

"I care. I'm the woman your father is hiding. What kind of qualities..."

Toyochiyo, you're more obsessed with your mother than your father. Toyochiyo is also nostalgic to his mother. Looks like a real parent. Toyochiyo looks just like your father. It may also be because my mother adores Toyochiyo.

"Dear Sanro Right Guard, Ten Thousand Generations"

I heard a voice from behind. Looking back, Matsuura Yuasaro was there.

"For you?

"Ha, the Great Hall is calling for you. Please hurry to the back seat."

"Okay."

When I went to my father, there was Ise Hyogo Head, Kurono Reizo and two men there. Still young, healthy men. But he doesn't seem to be a samurai. Me and the tens of thousands of generations walked into the room and the two of them refrained from taking sides.

"Are you here? Saburo Right-Men, Ten Thousands of Generations, the two of them are Nana, Koyama Left Masuke Kunikaze and his brother Uenosuke Shinga. He is from Kikuchi County, a fattening country, and he uses blacksmithing as his business."

"It is located in Koyama Left Horsesuke Kunikaze, a resident of Tongtatsu, Kunifumura, Kikuchi Prefecture, Fattening Country"

"It's in Uenosuke Shinga"

They named themselves. I see you have a sword in your father's hand.

"These two have been visiting the Hyogo Head. He wants to build a tae-knife in Omi for one reason. The Decaying Wood Knife is famous, he wants to learn. Occasionally, I was in Kyoto, so Hyogo brought me here."

……

"He says he wants to learn, but he won't mean it. We don't think our machetes can be inferior to decaying wood machetes."

They say, "Oh, no." “That kind of thing." My father raised his voice and laughed.

"But I love coming to Kyoto to build a machete."

They took the machete.

"Heavy, it would be because of the thick layering of the zun compared to other machetes. A tough knife for the powerless. I tried pulling it out earlier, but it's not good to see it. It's not a machete you can enjoy looking at. But definitely useful on the battlefield. It's not killing enemies, it's slapping machetes. Haven't seen an interesting machete in a while."

My father turned his gaze to the two of us. You two are nervous.

"Come to Omi and train a machete for me."

"Ha, thank you Happiness"

"I don't know what anyone else would think, but I liked the martial arts of this machete. Keep building useful machetes on the battlefield. There will be no more battles, but it is the samurai who prepare for battle. This knife will be the knife for it."

"The Word is carved into the chest."

The two of them were in awe.

"Genzaburo, let the two of you have a room."

"Ha, right away"

"Left Masuke, Uenosuke. I'll be here for the next couple of days. Have fun with Kyokami."

"Ha."

They bowed their heads and left the room according to Yuan Sanro.

Early July (1587) Mountain City Guokushi County Shijima Village Shijima Castle Decaying Wood Keystone

Hey, it's Tontatsu. It would be one of the most slashing machetes in the epoch. I guess I'll be in Best Three. At first, I didn't know because they said it was a forge in Kyushu, but I found out because they said it was a resident of Tongyuan. It was surprising to come out of Kyushu on purpose, but without such a slightly different part, craftsmen may not grow up. But you said national victory and Shinga. It's not a real country. It's a shame.

"Want to see it?

When he spoke, Sanro Right-Men and Ten Thousands of Generations replied "Yes”. The samuro right guard has a quiet voice, but tens of thousands of generations play. Even brothers are very different. Saburo Right-Men approached to receive a machete. He has an astonishing look. It must be heavy. When I lowered back, I pinched my pocket in my mouth and gently pulled out my machete. That's a little rough. Tens of thousands of generations look interesting beside the right guard gate of Saburo.

The two of us are trying to catch our breath. I can't feel the emotion or surprise. It's not a beautiful knife. Eventually he tried to give it back to me when he put the machete in his sheath, so he ordered me to give it to Heavy Zone and Hyogo Head. Heavy Zao received it from the right guard of Saburo and pulled out the tae-knife. Smooth work on boulders. I'm staring at the machete. The gaze is harsh. Eventually, when he delivered it to the sheath, he tried to give it to the Hyogo head, but the Hyogo head shook his neck to the side. Maybe you've already seen it. Heavy Zao offered me a machete. I'll take it, it's still heavy.

"What did you think, Sanro right guard, tens of thousands of generations"

"I felt heavy"

"I don't know."

Saburo's right guard said it was heavy, Thousands of generations said he didn't get it. Well, it must be something like that.

"How about Heavy Zone, how did you see Hyogo Head?"

"I don't want to fight anyone with this machete"

"Again?"

"Yes, if you take it badly, they could break your machete"

Right, that's Tontatsu. That's a boulder heavy. Sanro right guard and tens of thousands of generations are impressed.

"What do you think of the Hyogo Head?

Hyogo's head was awed.

"It's hard to handle. If you don't have the strength, hurt your own leg."

"Right. He would be swung by a machete rather than swinging a machete just heavy. It's a knife you can't handle by the powerless."

Heavy Zone, Hyogo head nodded. The two of them look impressed again. It could be like that if you're a little short on stuff, given your age.

The machete is heavy. I swing lightly in the epoch, but it's not easy. Of course we need the power to swing, but what matters is the power to stop. You're going to hurt your own leg like Hyogo said you would without it. Especially Tongtai is heavy, so it is easy to gain momentum, even in that sense it would be difficult to handle a machete.

Thick machetes were needed during the Warring States. Because it was necessary to slaughter a warrior wearing armor in battle on a daily basis. However, in the Edo period, a light knife with no thickness becomes delightful. Because it became the world of the Pacific and the knife became an ornament, not a tool to slay people. From now on, Tongtatsu will gradually be avoided. That's why we need to take care of it. Do not let it be abandoned.

"Well, I didn't call them to show me the machete. Ryukyu's envoy will come to Kyo soon. He wants to see the country after he sees the Emperor. I'm telling you, it's not a game, they want to know a country called Japan. To decide what to do with Japan."

Sanro right guard, tens of thousands of generations said yes and nodded.

"Let them go along with it. See what they want to know and why they want to know it. That way you can see a little bit about how Japan looks from the outside. The envoy returns to Ryukyu in November. Accompany them until October. Soichi entertains the mission. I'll tell Sorai about them. You should use this castle for your stay in Kyoto."

"Yes."

"You can back off."

The two of them replied yes and dropped back. Well, I have to do another job.

"Yazaburo"

When he raised his voice, he replied, "To this," and Yazaburo Castle showed up. He has a strong body.

"Call Xi Jingxiao Xuansou."

"Ha."

When I awoke, it moved quickly. The movement is also agile. You can expect to work as a samurai.

Slightly, the two boys showed up. He is a forties boy named West Laugh Acceptance and a fifties kid named Jing Xuansu. We are both children of the Temporary Religion, but there are several factions of the Temporary Religion. They don't belong to the same faction. We both look uncomfortable. Especially Jing Jing Xuansu. Well, I can't help it, this kid is a criminal. Modern times would be in cages.

"You've come so well."

When I spoke as gently as I could, they were awed to say "ha." Heavy Zone, Hyogo Head, Don't nibble. The two of you will be frightened.

"I came here today because I want you both to help me with my work."

The two of them looked at each other.

"Are you at work"

The west laugh acceptance gave a surprising voice. Tough on the kid. I'll get the job? It sounds like that.

"I want both of you to learn and experience to help me do my job. I won't let you work, I'll give you Loc. Two thousand stones. However, it is not held as a child of the Temporary Religious Sect. I want you to make no mistake there. I mean, I'm not allowed to use the Decaying Woods for the development of the Immediate Religious Sect."

……

"Even if you refuse, you don't have to worry because there is no return of interest to the person, etc., or to the temporary assistance department. What do you say?

"… I understand the fun of your story, but it is said to be the job…"

Now it was Jing Jing Xuansu. That's a surprisingly squeaky voice. I thought my voice would go through more because I read the sutra...

"Deal with the DPRK, it's national traffic"

Jing Jing Xuansu's face was stretched. In fact, this man has a background in Korean diplomacy for Mr. Soo-san, a man in detention with Mr. Soo-san of the opposite horse. I mean, false angels, they're involved in false books. In modern times, they must have been caught forgering official documents, identity fraud, etc. I'm sorry to have helped you by moving Mr. Zong inland, but it's not funny to be used by the others. That's why I called in Kyo. If you don't like being used by others, I'll have to.

Another West Laugh acceptance, but this guy is acting as Hideyoshi's Brain in historical fact. He read Ming's national book to Hideyoshi in Hideyoshi's Korean soldier. It seems that President Konishi asked him to mislead the contents, but Hideyoshi was furious when he accurately conveyed the contents of the National Paper, and the peace negotiations flew away. I wish I could say the right thing in the past, but now I want an honest man. Whatever you say, the other kid is a criminal. Just as well as not accommodating.

"Previously, there was a system of fang marks. It is a system created by Mr. Ankley. But Mr. Ankley no longer manages the system of doomsday fangs. It was operated by Mr. Soo, but that was also taken up. In other words, negotiations between a country called Japan and a country called Korea are no longer possible. And the deal that goes with that."

Two boys nodded. A toothpick is proof that it is a national envoy. No more national traffic can be made without it. And the deal that comes with it. All that remains is a private deal.

"Most of all, I don't think I need to do business with North Korea. Trading is important to enrich the country. And national traffic."

Heavy and Hyogo heads look ridiculous. You think of me as someone who loves to trade. You're right, I love trading. Even Yamen will love business.

"I want to establish national relations with Korea and Japan with my hands. I need your help with that. What do you say?

The two boys looked at each other.

"I will ask you in awe. Do you use the title of King of Japan?

Jing Jing Xuansu asked. He has a peeping look at this one.

"Not used. I'm not Ming's minister."

They looked at each other again.

"Thank you very much. Korea weighs Confucianism. From Korea's point of view, Japan is nothing but ray. If the King of Japan is recognized by Ming, he will be recognized as the negotiator, but if he doesn't use it..."

"Dear Left, you are exactly as the Temple of Jing Xuansu has been told. Fortunately, your country can use the surname of Mr. Yuan and the surname of Yuan. Mr. Yuan's main house, the Fooli family, was interrupted, and the decaying tree family in the sidestream..."

"Rude!

It was Heavy Zone who yelled at me. “What does bypass flow mean!" he stuck. The two boys are awash. It made me laugh out loud.

"Don't be so angry, Reizo"

"But"

"Well, the same source, but I'm Utayuan, not Kiyowayuan. But the blood is connected, so I can't even say bypass."

……

Heavy storage seems unhappy. Hyogo heads look ridiculous. I guess it's funny how calm repositories are usually exciting.

"Well, let's get back to it. I will not use the title of King of Japan. And it was destroyed, and the world was stabilized, because the footfall had confounded the world. That's where the Decaying Woods stand."

They have a tough look on their faces. I suppose you think it's difficult to negotiate.

"From a Korean standpoint, I guess I'm a traitor. It must also be seen as an excuse to justify himself that Foolish disrupted the world. He's the most abominable opponent for Confucianism."

The two nodded. It's not just North Korea, Ming will abhor me too.

But you also know that you don't get to ignore the power of a country.

The two nodded vaguely. Actually, I'm not sure either.

"You'd better recognize me and create a new system before the sea gets rough. He thinks we have to attack him from around there."

They nodded vaguely again.

"What do you think? Can you help me? It's not an easy job, I know it takes time. But there are things that have to be done. How's it going?"

"We're here to help."

The immediate answer was West Laughter Acceptance. Jing Jing Xuansu is stuck.

"Can't we cooperate? Jingxiang Xuansu"

Jing Xuansu shook his head to the side of my question.

"No, I will help you, too, fool. However, there are conditions."

"Tell me."

"We would also like to add both names: Sukesuke Yanagawa Kuannosuke and Kamikuro Yukiya."

"I see..."

Willow River and Teak Valley? They both have a background in contact with Ryuji Temple at the minister of Mr. Soo. It would be men who can't eat it boiled or baked.

"You want me to add Soujia?

“No," he said. Jing Xuansu shook his head beside him again.

"Both names are banished from the sect."

Have they taken responsibility for the transfer of the seal…. As far as I'm concerned, I went to keep Mr. Soo-san out of Korea, but as for Mr. Soo-san, I decided that they had changed territory because they had done something on their own. No, did you push the blame for doing that...

"Fine, where are you two now?"

"Hakata is here"

"I'll get the messenger out. Write to the two of you."

"Ha."

"If you serve me, I'll give you 4,000 stones. Two thousand stones if we just cooperate."

"Ha."

A man familiar with the situation on the Korean peninsula. It's worth having. And Hakata? You're going to be involved in negotiations with the DPRK, you have to be careful......
