When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Tianzheng Er (1578) Late May Preparation Longwang Mountain Decaying Wood Structure, Takamatsu Village, Heyang County, China

Father ordered people to pay when he told them that his thoughts had gathered on the date specified by Father. The only ones left were Father, Akechi Toei, Uenosuke Numata, Kuroda Kunigami, and me, Yoichiro, XV, and Yoshigami. It's better than talking where everyone is, but it's hard. Yoichiro, Fifteen, and Yoshibuki also seem spicy.

More importantly, there is no expression on the faces of Father, Ten Soldiers, Nobsuke Ueno, or the Official Guard. Looks like we're trying to figure this one out. No, I think they're actually trying. My father took me, Shinobei took XV, Ueno Nobusuke took Yoichiro, and Kunigami took Yoshibu. You must be trying to figure out how capable you are. What happens if they decide not to rely on it?

"And what about Maori?

"Ha, I'll make a pageant"

"Why?

"I think we should enter Kyushu as soon as possible by entering into a pact with Maori. I don't think the Kyushu offense will be difficult if you work with Otomo."

"I see."

My father nodded. You can't be wrong. My father is snorting, too. Yoichiro, XV and Yoshibui also found their expressions to be somewhat loose.

"What are the conditions for harmony with Maori?

"Ha, in preparation, after, we shall assign the bells, clouds, stone sights and hidden trees to the decaying trees."

"Anything else?

"I demand the surrender of Yoshio, who is staying at , and the surrender of a prominent man."

"I see."

My father nodded again. There is no expression, there is no expression on the faces of Ten Soldiers, Nobusuke Ueno, or the official guards. Am I right? I don't think it would be a strange idea to try to keep Silver Mountain of Ishimi in my hands...

"Are we done?

"Ha."

"What about Maori territory in Kyushu? Toyomae, Tsukima territory."

"It's to Maori"

"I see."

My father nodded and turned his gaze to Ten Soldiers, Nobusuke Ueno and the Official Guard. The three of them bowed their heads against your father. What does that mean? I am anxious, Yoichiro, XV, Yoshibui also look anxious.

"It was hard work, Migoro, XV, Yoichiro, Yoshibui. It was the first time. It would have been tough."

"Ha, thank you for your words."

You worked for me, I was horrified. In fact, it was tough, and the four of us gathered up the proposal many times to see if it was correct or if there were any loopholes. It took half a day to compile this proposal. After that, I spent a lot of time checking. The more I checked, the less I knew.

"I'm sure you've done well with them now."

The one now?

"Father, what do you think of Father? I would appreciate it if you could tell me."

Yoichiro, XV and Yoshibui also nodded. We know we don't have enough ideas. But that's what I want to know about what's missing.

"Well, don't ask for Anya if he's my father"

"Anjin? But Anjin is a patriarchal land for Maori..."

It can't be that easy. One mistake will not result in a Japanese proposal...

"Yagoro, Anyo has always been a powerful land for gatekeepers. Have you thought about that?

"Ah, …"

I accidentally got a voice. My father is smiling with his face broken. I was embarrassed, my face got hot.

"Leave it to Maori, Anyo can be the basis for a traditional gatekeeper who speaks of anti-decay trees. So let him swear that he has no part in the government as the territory of decaying trees. Maori and fools alike will not like to be held accountable and perished. Depending on how you take the story, there's a chance that Yasuo will give it to us."

"I'll pick up the manifestation, though?

My father shook his head to the side.

"I can't do that. Admit to entering decaying tree territory if manifestation accepts decaying tree laws. Let's build a temple too. But if you don't accept it, you won't be allowed to enter the Decaying Tree Territory.... all of which will have no faithful or place to be. If that happens, you're gonna keep your head down on me."

"I see..."

Apparently, Father is trying to yield his appearance.

"But shall Maori let go of Anya? Perimeter, Nagato, and Kyushu."

"Give Ishimi instead"

But Ishimi has Silver Mountain.

My father laughed when I defended him.

"Silver Mountain should be made of decaying wood. Didn't I?"

"I see..."

Right, think of Ishimi Ginzan and the country as different? Ishimi is not necessarily a necessary country for decaying trees, it is important because there are silver mountains. It is possible to give Maori Ishimi if the silver mountain is turned into decaying wood.

"Well there are many other things, but you should take a look at this further in your negotiations with Maori. They'll be part of the negotiations."

"Yes, thank you"

I can stand at the negotiating table between my father and Maori. Glad, Yoichiro, XV and Yoshibui are also happy.

"And it's good to remember just one thing. My father is not willing to join forces with Otomo to attack Kyushu."

"But Otomo is with a family."

When asked in surprise, his father shook his head beside him.

"A family of Otomo and Tosa belongs to kinship. But it's none of my business. In the form of sandwiching Maori from east to west, we do not cooperate. Together with Otomo, Otomo will always tell you to give him the Maori territory that is in Kyushu. It's just gonna be a lot of trouble."

"... I see"

Is that why your father asked you what to do with Maori territory in Kyushu... I still don't have enough.

"Besides, the Otomo family doesn't have the whole house wrapped up. A man named Sorin Otomo, he doesn't like to rule within. The man who can't rule the inner part is very strong against the outer part. Try to hold back dissatisfied elements within by increasing your own military authority. But if you fail, the house leans quickly. Amazingly easy. I can't work with a guy like that. Remember."

"Yes."

It's amazing. Your father's rating of Sorin Otomo is surprisingly low. Otomo is regarded by the public as a Kyushu male. But I don't think Father will be wrong, I need to know more about Sorin Otomo.

"Let's take at least two years to stabilize the Maori territory that Decaywood attacked and captured. Is it three years before we attack Kyushu? Kyushu will move in the meantime, Otomo, Ryuji Temple and Shimazu. I want you to see how hard Otomo can work around the house."

"Ha."

When I answered, my father nodded.

"Yagoro, look out more."

"Outside, is it?

"Yes, about Kyushu, about Kanto, about Hokuriku, about Okinawa, about Shikoku. If I had known about Kyushu, the terms of this rapprochement would have changed even more. To say you don't know is not to be forgiven as the owner."

"Yes."

I thought my mother told me it wasn't enough. Certainly not enough. There are many things that need to be buried. The case of Sorin Otomo is only one example.

"How was the first battle?

"Yes,... I don't know. But I'm tired."

The fathers looked at each other and laughed. He looks ridiculously funny and laughs at each other many times. I was a little embarrassed.

"Honest and good, much better than looking good"

I bowed my head because I didn't know how to answer.

"A house with small decaying trees would give him more freedom. I could also make him raise his martial arts by attacking the castle. But the decaying tree grew too big. Decaying trees must be treated under heaven."

"Yes."

"The person has to learn that. War, politics, people, money, commerce, and the morning court."

I nodded honestly at your father's words. I was tired in the first place, and I found it hard. And the size of your father. How hard is it to come...... And yet it doesn't look like that to us. Will my father rely on me to tell me that he's tired at some point? When I was thinking about it, my father called me "Yagoro”.

"There's no rush. It'll take ten years to remember."

"Is it ten years?"

"Yes, in ten years' time, Matsuchiyo and Tortoise Chiyo are also serving. It'll help him."

"Yes."

It was a little unimaginable. Chiyo Matsushi is in the main clothes, I can tell this. And Chiyo Turtle? When it comes to ten years, Turtle Chiyo is eighteen years old. Chiyo Turtle, eighteen? He's older than I am now, he could be growing a mustache, too. Turtle Chiyo's beard? I can't imagine. Perhaps you perceived my perplexity, my father laughed again.

"Ten years or so soon, Yagoro. It won't be long if it's blurry. Encourage me."

"Yes."

Ten years, or next year I'll marry my wife. If so, it's not strange to have a child. I'm the father? Is your father your grandfather? Ten years, certainly not long.

"Later it will rain or not. The more rain falls and the more submerged the castle, the more advantageous the negotiations can be... but all this is luck. Do you want to dance with a rain beggar?"

When Father sighed, Ten Soldiers, Nobusuke Ueno and the Official Guard laughed out. I want it to rain. I want to see what kind of negotiations Father makes.

Takamatsu Village, Heyang County, China, Ryukyu Koyakawa, in early June, Tianzheng Era (1578)

"I see, have you built the embankment"

Sounds like it.

My brother nodded when I hammered him.

"I know you're going to say I'm going to water-attack Takamatsu Castle..."

"It's the first time you've seen it."

"Uhm."

My brother exhaled heavily. I do want to exhale. You decaying tree, you do what you have to do. I didn't know I could really water the castle or something like that...

The Maori army of 40,000 is on Mount Daylight Distance. From Mount Hitsugaya we saw the situation of Takamatsu Castle, and the Decaying Wood Army. The Decaying Wood Army is deployed between the Foot River and the embankment built by the Decaying Wood Army. Thirty thousand will be there. Probably to protect the embankment. And inside the embankment was a build-up of water. And behind it was a team of decaying trees at Ishii Mountain. He was formerly headquartered in Longwang Mountain, but since building the embankment, he has moved to Ishii Mountain, which is closer. Around it are the warlords of decaying trees.

"Commander Left Gate, we're going to tear down the decaying trees in the front and destroy the embankment now, what do you think?

"It must be difficult."

"I guess so."

My brother nodded. Difficult, neither does my brother think he can do it for real. Fewer enemies on the front than this one. But you have to cross the Foot River to break it. Naturally the enemy pokes at it. It's not easy to tear. And while it's sliding, the main team of decaying trees will descend the mountain and poke this side. That's where the battle arrives.

"Can't you expect reinforcements from Castle Takamatsu?

"I can't. As you can see, the water is accumulating. I don't know how much song (kasa) there is. But that area is wetlands. Even if you send out soldiers, they take your feet off the mud and you can't do anything."

My brother exhaled.

"Decaying wood, do unpleasant things. Left guard, what do you say to right horsehead?"

Right Horsehead Huiyuan is waiting for our brothers in HQ. I said I would check the situation and see if Takamatsu Castle is possible...

"I have something else to be honest with. There's no hitter here."

"There's nothing to do with Castle Takamatsu. A stare."

"You will be."

My brother saw this one.

"But, Sasa Left Guard. This is the season, I don't think it's going to rain. If it rains, the neglected song will rise."

……

"The mansion will submerge first. In that case, the ministers will have to be caged in the family castle. It's going to get hot and humid. The castle will be hell, how far the general can withstand it..."

I accidentally sighed. Things get worse every single rain. And we have no way to stop it.

"Besides, I can't stay here till hours. In the shadows, the decaying trees are using Niko to scratch around the bell. If the bell is captured, the clouds will rise next. If those people poke our backs..."

"We're isolated."

My brother nodded with a reluctant look at my words. Decaying trees don't have to make a showdown here. If you stop us with the water attack, that's all the victory rolls in.

"Would you tell Chang Left Guard to surrender to Decaying Tree?"

My brother saw me.

"That's all there is."

Do you want me to surrender to that man? I told him to cut his stomach when he didn't fight enough and surrender without letting that man fight satisfactorily... Let's run the world's ghosts.

"Left Guard Menzo"

"Yes."

My brother is looking up at the sky. Cloudy weather, the weather is not good.

"Rain."

……

Looking up at the sky, the cold water hit my cheek. It's raining, we have to hurry...

"Father, there are more songs."

Yagoro raised his voice as excited. The people around me are also raising their voices. It rained all day yesterday. The water on the Anemo River seems to be increasing as well. Fine. I was depressed because it didn't rain at all initially, but it started to fall after the Maori army arrived. Huiyuan Maori, Motochun Yoshikawa, Ryukyu Koyakawa, I guess someone in these three is the rain man.

I wish you would have come down one more day if you could. It is completely submerged except on a small plateau with castles and ministerial mansions. I guess it's a pretty watermelon because it uses a ship. The ministers' mansion has not been submerged, but we can see from here that the water is imminent. Give me another rain and I'll dump the mansion and run into the castle. Luckily the weather is not nice, it feels like another rain coming.

"Migoro."

"Yes."

"Don't drink raw water. Make sure it boils before you drink it."

"Yes, you don't seem to break your belly. I hear your father paid attention to Tadazoro Fusei."

"Uhm."

That, I wonder if he's that famous. It's a little strange.

"Once the mansion is submerged, the soldiers in front of the embankment will be withdrawn."

"May I?

"I don't mind, Duizo. If the embankment breaks, the general will be flushed with water. Dangerous. If Maori broke the embankment, the water would push the Maori army away. Along with that, this one goes down the mountain and attacks the Maori army. And this victory is confirmed."

Everyone nodded.

Then for three days, it rained or stopped. The water on the Anemo River increased and the amount of water surrounding Takamatsu Castle also increased. The mansion was almost submerged, and the generals all entered Takamatsu Castle, apparently. The castle is completely isolated. It became the last refuge, but if it rained, Takamatsu Castle would gradually submerge. Now, what happens... The enemy ahead is Maori and Shimizu's patience. Which side can take the weather? I'll do another rain begging dance, or half of it is a stagnant worry, but it was quite fun and it rained, so I have a good reputation. Let's do it flashy and get rid of the Maori people.
