"Mr. Kwon Dae-sen is in a very good mood and delighted state."

There are three men in front of me. When one greeted him and bowed his head, the other two also bowed their heads. Two of the three are not Japanese.

"Long time no see, Floyce. How have you been?"

"Yes."

It was Lewis Floyce who manipulated Japanese fluently to greet him. This man, in historical fact, has a record during his stay in Japan but has a rather different person rating due to his favor for Christianity or not. I need to read it with a lot of caution in that respect.

I guess I'm still writing. I don't know what it says, I don't think it's written very favorably because I treat it fairly but I don't give it any special treatment. The two behind them are Alessandro Valignano and Lorenzo Tosai. Examine the Japanese Christianity of this era and it's a name that will always come up. Lorenzo Tosai tells Valignano what the conversation is about and Valignano is nodding. Looks like he went the same way for an interpreter. I'm alone here. I let all the counselors take it off too. I can imagine what we're going to talk about. Ever since we found out what Christians did in Kyushu, the Decaying Wood family's reputation for them has waned. I don't bother to make the old man feel uncomfortable, because he has a short old age.

"So, what can I do for you today?

"Yes, Kyushu."

I thought so. Well, I got a prediction, but I'm not happy.

"Kyushu, what's wrong with Kyushu?

"Satsuma's Shimazu, Ryubukuji Temple before Fattening, and Akizuki before Tsukuba are about to attack Toyoko's Yakuza with disgust. I have come to ask for your help."

A little bit of a word, but brilliant. It would have been hard to learn Japanese so far. I'll buy that effort.

The only thing I buy most is hard work. Other than that, you have zero ratings. A big gesture is just depressing. I don't know why these guys came here, because I want to help Toyoko's Yakusha, or Sorin Otomo, but the reason is only because of Christianity. Sorin Otomo is an idiot who thinks of breaking the shrine Buddha's shrine and creating the kingdom of God, but from the perspective of Floyce and the others, he's a cute, important patron.

And Shimazu, who is attacking me, has a pronounced foothold hostile to Christianity. For Floyce and the others, Shimazu Sentinel would be an army of demons. If Sorin perishes, Floyce and the others will be devastated. Withdrawal from Kyushu may also be possible in some cases. These guys came here scared of it. Well, the quick story is, give me a demon exorcism.

But you said it before. Don't let religion get involved in politics. That's what you guys are doing. What we did in Kyushu, what we do here. I'm trying to intervene in politics for the sake of religion.

"Are you telling Kyushu to send soldiers? It's a shame, but it's hard. The stable country I gained last year is still unstable. That's where the gatekeepers have always been strong. I think I know, but the appearance has come to Shimazu. If I attack Kyushu, it won't happen in Yasuo."

……

Floyce is staring at me. Buddhist forces are enemies to these guys. Especially so. You'd be cursing “demons” or something in your heart. He also curses me as a Buddha enemy. In short, for religious leaders, their enemies are not personal enemies, but religious enemies. I think religious leaders are inherently indulgent, but I think they actually narrow down.

"Besides, this year the Emperor will give way"

Floyce gave me a surprise look, I guess I didn't know what the concession meant. Looks like Lorenzo was convinced to hear Sai's explanation.

"I can't afford to go to Kyushu to fight Shimazu. The Oda family in the Tokai can't determine their tracks, and there is a problem there. I'm sorry, but you have to give up."

Floyce, Valignano looked disappointed.

"How is Kyushu? I don't know inside when I'm in Kichinai. I hear the Otomo family has been in a difficult situation since their defeat last year."

"Your ally, Azu, has endured the Shimazu offensive, but it's a tough situation. In Tsukima, a number of warlords flipped anti-flags against Toyoko's dormitories. In front of fattening, Ryuzukuji temples are attacking and destroying those who take sides in Toyoko's shapes."

"I see."

Well, that pretty much matches the information we're holding back. The situation in Kyushu has received reports from the Igas. Shimazu's pressure has always been present in fattening, but Shimazu's pressure intensified further when Otomo lost in the Battle of Ear River. Reports are coming that Asu after southern fattening now, Sora resists but will keep it first. Shimazu after southern fertility and Ryuzuji temple hold down after northern fertility if historical reality street. And you'll bump into it. In Tsukima, Akizuki Seeds is working with Tsukuba Hiromen, Ryuki Harada, Sodo Sadashi, etc. to defy Otomo.

These people were not originally Otomo's ministers. I just followed Otomo because of his strong momentum. I guess it would have been different if Sorin had focused a little more on governing the territory, but I don't see it that way in this current situation. It can be taken for granted that Otomo flies the anti-flag more than he has lost his power. And in Toyomae, Akizuki Seed's son Takahashi's original species moved in anti-Otomo. Those hostile to Otomo continue on the other side.

And Ryuzukuji controlled Otomo on his ass, who couldn't move, and grew his power after fattening, before, after, and before Toyotomi. Ryuji Temple would be more of a threat to Otomo than Shimazu. Otomo's surroundings are full of enemies, but the only salvation is that there's no Otomo riding the thought of integrating Shimazu, Akizuki, and Ryuji Temples. As things stand, Shimazu and Ryuji Temple compete over which controls post-fat. They'll bump into each other any day. In historical fact Shimazu won but what happens in this world......

"I wonder, Floyce. Shall I mediate the rapprochement between the Otomo family and the Ryuji family? I find it difficult to reconcile with Shimazu, but Ryuji Temple could be possible. I wonder if you want to avoid being moved from the south to Shimazu while you and Otomo are fighting for Ryuzuji Temple."

"If that's what you want."

"Okay, let's get the messenger out of me. But don't expect too much."

Let's send a messenger to Longzhuji Temple to explore the senses. Are you willing to fight Shimazu or not? There will be. If you make peace with Otomo, you can name your total strength and head to Shimazu. Do you think you're gonna win? You'll be interested in that if you leave. No, I figured Kyushu should let Shimazu take over and beat out Chechdan before beating Shimazu? Um, I don't know. I feel like I'm just getting on with something.

After Floyce and the others dropped back, Baidi Tampa Shoutai Light arrived.

Tampa's here today.

"Ha."

Tambo Shogun answered in a smile. It's a lot to say Iga. Though Hanzo Chigaji is normal, Nagato Fujiyashi is a great Buddha, and Shosho Tambo has a more merchant look than a sneer and ninja.

"Well, nobody's coming."

"Someone wanted to pay. The late."

"Well, is something wrong?

"The Long Sect is making a little noise."

"Are you telling me to move?

"No, you seem lost. Sosuke Miyauchi seems to want to move, but he thinks the perimeter's stopped."

"I see, well I thought this would happen...... I'm the reason to stop you, right?

"Ha."

Tampa guard nodded.

A combination of Tosa did the fool. I've been trying to crush the temple with a rash on Christianity since early in the New Year, but it really sucked. The temple that was targeted was a temple called Ishimi Temple in Hakata County, but it was a temple that the generations of Tosa Ichikai owners stood out in the Bishan Extended Calendar Temple. In other words, it is a temple of national protection for the Tosa family. Naturally, the rebellion was huge.

Seems that Soussan Tuju, a heavy minister of one family, has conquered the concurrence many times. It seems that Otomo also said that he suffered a great defeat in the Battle of Ear River because he destroyed the shrine Buddha's Palace. But I didn't listen to the concurrence. The Decaying Tree Keizuan burned down the Bee Mountain Extended Calendar Temple. He said why he was sorry for destroying Ishimi Temple. I don't like it, I burned it because of the hostility of the Yuen-ji Temple. It's not for Christians.

Tuju Zongshan couldn't help himself and tried to connive with his stomach. You're like Keishu Hirakata. But the concurrence did not translate when Zongshan cut his stomach. Instead, he became mean and burned the Ishimi Temple. They killed the kid, too. Now the minister of one house flipped the anti-flag. First, Izusho Tuju, son of Zongshan Tuju. Yasuo Kazumi Shosho, Director Hane, and Young Naruto Matsushi, who served as housekeepers with Soussan, also went hand in hand. Afterwards, those who flipped the anti-flag continued. It seems that very few people are now attached to the union. My ex-daughter wants to move. It's like telling me to eat it.

"Dear Mr. Oyato,"

"What?"

"Shimazu may move"

"Huh? Is that true?

What happened to Kyushu unification? Can you afford to send soldiers to Shikoku? Tampa Shogun nodded when he was flat.

"It's true."

"You can't believe it, then you'll just have more enemies. It's not just decaying trees. If you do anything wrong, you'll do everything right."

Are you out of your mind? That's what I want to say. In northern Kyushu, there is Otomo and Ryuzukuji Temple. Why are you trying to leave for Shikoku there? Expanding the front won't be a busy thing. It won't be possible. Is Shimazu the Japanese Army of Showa?

"Ryukyu is involved"

"Ryukyu?"

When I inquired, Tampa Shogun slowly began to snort and talk.

When I heard about Tampa Shogun, I thought, "If the wind blows, the bucket store will make money." Or the butterfly effect. The world seems to be wide and small, and it's connected. It's a deal with Ryukyu, but this guy isn't just for the Shimazu family. If the decaying trees are also involved, the Tosa family is also involved, as are Kyushu's great names and the Chinese people. Especially since ancient times. The house seems to be largely traded. Big places like Otomo, Ito, Sora in small places, Seeds Island, Sleeping (Screw Me), Tsuba (Yes), etc. Some of them belong to Shimazu.

We've all been dealing with Ryukyu, but things have changed in recent years. The expansion of Shimazu. Shimazu's momentum became overwhelmingly strong when Shimazu crushed Hitachi's Ito and defeated Otomo in the Battle of Ear River. Although Shimazu originally had the geographical strength of being at the southernmost tip of Kyushu, it seems that Shimazu has spoken of the Yotai tale of having given Ryukyu from the Fooli family in the past. And once again, you said you worshipped Ryukyu from Yoshiaki? Makes me laugh.

But even with that farce, Shimazu seems to be trying to put his deal with Ryukyu under Shimazu's jurisdiction. Specifically, Ryukyu should not be allowed to do business with anyone other than Shimazu's authorised name, the Chinese people, and the people of Shimazu's subordinate countries should not be allowed to send out trading ships without Shimazu's permission. By doing so, Shimazu is trying to deprive the Chinese people of their independence and place Ryukyu under Shimazu's subordination. No, that's not all, Shimazu should probably consider Nankyushu, a single sphere of power that includes Ryukyu, as an attempt to build a sphere of power by order set by Shimazu. I guess they'll all say we go north and expand that force throughout Kyushu.

Ryukyu also had weaknesses. The arrival of Portuguese ships, etc. and the change of Ming's policy from a maritime ban policy to a relaxation of the maritime ban. In short, the strength that dominated the deal with Ming disappeared. As a result, the value of Ryukyu was much weaker than before. Weakened value also weakens speech. That's where Shimazu began to strengthen his power. Ryukyu's trade against Japan and Kyushu related transactions were integrated into one Shimazu. It was put under Shimazu's control. Ryukyu was put in an extremely dangerous situation.

It was the presence of decaying trees that Ryukyu used. Shimazu is not the only counterparty to Ryukyu, Ryukyu also deals with decaying trees with significant forces in the center. Shimazu said he couldn't have listened. Well, I know you actually said it softer, but it would be like that if you didn't decorate the words. Even if Shimazu stops trading with Ryukyu and tries an economic blockade, Ryukyu has a route to trading with the Japanese central government through decaying trees, so it's pointless.

"Dear Shimazu, the decaying trees are in the way. Daikanya, it's only recently that Shimazu's feet are still soft. If we are to consolidate this, we must strengthen our control over the people of the country."

"I guess so."

"Let's say one of them is a deal with Ryukyu. The goal is to gain profit by holding a deal with Ryukyu, while controlling the people of the country. But it's hard to tell Decaying Tree to get under Shimazu's control. But then there is no indication to the people of the country. Let's look down at Shimazu and see why people are unhappy to rule out decaying trees."

I guess. The power of the great name fluctuates depending on how much control you can control the people of the country. I understand that, but is that why you're marching to Shikoku? Decaying Tree is sending a trading ship to Ryukyu using Tosa as a relay point. It is certain that losing Tosa will make the deal with Ryukyu painful. But I don't think it's a good idea to expand the front and increase the load. Tampa Shogun laughed when he was wondering.

"Let your style be questioned. Is that why you send soldiers to Shikoku? How do we increase the burden?"

"Well yeah. I won't do it. I'll wait for the time."

Tampa Shogun laughed again.

Shimazu doesn't really want to send soldiers either.

"... I see, there's a long ministry there"

Tampa guard nodded. Like that, Shimazu is slapping his long-serving ass. If you don't move quickly, you're going to eat Nishitosa. The important thing for Shimazu is not to acquire Nishitosa, the decaying ship will no longer come to Ryukyu, and the Ryukyu will be monopolized. If Tosa gets confused and the deal between Decaying Tree and Ryukyu is interrupted even for a short period of time, I guess he sees that we can hold Ryukyu back in the meantime.

"Lord Yoshiaki Ashiri frequently sends his messengers to the Long Sect."

"Why don't you take Dr. Decaying Wood?

"Yes."

As always, Yoshiaki calls me the big butcher. I guess I wouldn't mind if I didn't treat you like an underground. It made me laugh because it was funny. Tampa Shogun is also laughing.

"Tampa Shosho, Shimazu has Yoshiaki, but are you seriously going to set things up with Decaying Wood? Are you thinking of rebuilding the Shogun?

Tampa guard tipped his neck.

"Let's see. I think I'm just using Yoshiako to control Kyushu..."

"Right."

Tonal dreams...... Poor thing. The Kanto government is doomed, the Foolish main house also fell from China to Kyushu. The Hiroshima family does not control Shikoku, even though they are alive in Shikoku. I'm just being treated as a celebrity. Nobody wants ruling under heaven by footfall or anything. I'm just using Shimazu. Yet only Yoshio and his surroundings turn away from reality.

"I don't know what will happen after I control Kyushu."

"Right."

Are you satisfied with taking control of Kyushu, or is Shimazu aiming for the center? If we were to aim for the center, it would be worth Yoshio's use...... No. Do you have a hand in saying that Shimazu holds real power by making Kyushu independent and taking charge of Yoshiaki...

"Dear Mr. Oyato, how are you doing?

Tampa Shogun peered into my face. He looks worried. Maybe you were immersed in your own thoughts? I accidentally leaked a bitter laugh.

"I'm tired of dealing with idiots, I'm tired of dealing with bad guys who don't give up. Umzari."

……

"Let the soldiers out. Take advantage of this to crush the Long Sect. Then we will hide Major General Ajo and put him in charge."

"Ha."

Tampa guard bowed his head. Looks somewhat happy. Maybe he thinks I've decided on my own report to send out a soldier.

"And I'm going to show you a glimpse of Kyushu from Tosa."

"Because they threaten Shimazu?

I'm surprised.

"Um, I'm sending a good offices messenger of harmony to Otomo and Ryuji Temple. If I show my attitude in attacking Shimazu, I'll make peace with you. Shimazu falls into neglect."

"I see."

The Tampa guard nodded loudly. What I promised Floyce and the others turned out to be useful in a strange way. Those people will be happy, I may think I'm in favor of Christians. Shall I make you think so now?

"I also send a messenger to Ryukyu. Let's subordinate ourselves to decaying trees. I'm not asking you not to do business with Shimazu. You can do whatever you want. But Ryukyu needs a back shield to defend his current position. I'd rather be far away from that."

It might be better to follow a country called Japan, not me, and say that you will be a minister of the court. Don't you like it? But I am receiving a book seal in the morning. I don't think I'm bound by formal independence, and I'd rather subordinate myself to Shimazu. Let's talk to His Highness, too. We have to go to Kyo, and then we'll talk to the Minister of the Right about one article. Your Royal Highness and the Minister of the Right won't say anything too annoying.

"Talk to everyone with your next big rating"

"Ha."

Tampa guard bowed his head. I wonder what will happen to the east while I move west. Maybe Oda and Tokugawa will collide. Or will the movement of independence make rapid progress in Minoxi? If you threaten Shimazu, the traditional gatekeepers of Yasuo may be exposed to outbursts. That would be convenient, I can use this as an opportunity to sweep the gatekeepers from Yasuo and remove Kyushu offensive concerns. Ten soldiers, Maori, and I need to send a sentence to Sanho too.

... No, let's stop Maori. There is a possibility that this target may be leaked to the Yasuo Gatekeeper from all over the Maori family. That's not funny. If it goes well, the west will stabilize. And the next one is east, you're busy...
