When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Lunjing Koyakawa, Yifucheng, Chungyi Village, Kama County, Tsukuba, in early June, 2015

As I was drinking tea with my right horsehead and brother Sungawa Shou in one of the rooms of Yifu Castle, Ee-jung Yasuji came into the room stroking the boy's head. I'm worried about something. I bowed my head gently as I sat in front of us. When I said, "Let me get you some tea," I said, "Thank you," but it's still empty. My usually poisonous brother also looks at Ee-jung in surprise. The same goes for the right horsehead.

Making Kozune prepare the tea, Ee-jung carried the tea bowl back to her mouth but did not drink it. I sighed.

"What's the matter, have you heard anything from the former inner house?

When the right horsehead asked, Yee-jung replied, "Yes, it's unexpected." Well, unexpected? About a half-minute ago, Ee-jung received a call from the former inner house. There must have been something to check with Maori. My brother is dissatisfied with the fact that he will talk to Ee-jung instead of consulting us, but the right horse head is convinced. Ee-jung and Mae Uchi seem to have cut it off that it would be better for Maori to have a negotiator who can get into it.

"Mae Uchi has a rather strong dissatisfaction with Otomo"

"I know that. It would be crazy to want Kyushu's flag in a situation where not a single country in Toyoko can be put together."

Ee-jung shook his neck loose to his brother's words.

"Well, that's also true, but what Mae Uchifu sees as a problem is that Otomo doesn't show the attitude of cooperating under decaying trees."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Oh, my goodness."

"Are you talking about Otomo's old ministers who surrendered to Decaying Wood?

When the right horsehead asked, Ee-jung nodded.

"If you don't forgive me, you want me to stop holding them because I want them to be."

"It's..."

My brother tried to say something and shut his mouth. Probably wanted to say he was intact.

Many of Otomo's ministers left Otomo. Those who aggressively flipped the anti-flag against Otomo, or those who had to leave Otomo in order to remain attacked by Shimazu and Akizuki, most of them surrendered to Decaying Tree. Looks like he decided he couldn't go back to Otomo. If you go back, you will see that you will be torn down or cut off your territory.

"But Otomo had a reason for them leaving Otomo. The failure to bring the country together was due to the collapse of Sorin. First, they lost the territory they had inherited from their ancestors. I'm losing my head. Isn't that too much punishment? Let's be miserable."

Everyone nodded at his brother's words. Maori also lost her craftsmanship, and the pain was never small.

I had to admit their surrender if I was to quickly take control of Kitakyushu and head to Shimazu. However, the former inner court granted their surrender to the decaying trees, but the main government did not relieve them. If you do that, Decaying Tree will give you Otomo's territory on its own. Otomo's authority will fall to the ground. I had no choice but to throw away the main part and hold it as a new minister of decaying trees. It's a decaying tree that I can afford, I wouldn't have been able to do it in another house.

"You can also ignore Otomo and hold him..."

"I can't say it's a good idea. If Otomo betrays you during the attack on Shimazu..., then the question becomes how Kyushu suppresses Ryuji Temple after this. Otomo needs it for that."

A right horsehead nodded at my brother and my words.

Otomo said, "Do those who rule under heaven recommend rebellion or betrayal?"

Ee-jung said blushing as she leaned down.

"If you become a direct minister of Decaying Wood, your position is comparable to that of Otomo. If we lose the main power, we will give Kiuchi a new favor..."

"Can't you call it punishment?"

When I asked, Ee-jung nodded.

"Decaying trees don't care about the past. Whether you are an enemy or competent, you will be promoted. If you can serve the decaying trees and leave the territory to the reputed people, the military, the military, the food, the counsellors..."

I saw us like Ee-jung would know.

"Regardless of the size of the territory, will the position be higher than that of Otomo?"

When my brother received it, Ee-jung nodded.

"And if they serve decaying trees, Otomo will lose the nation. For that matter, let's reduce Otomo's power. It takes time to recover, it won't be easy. Step on it, kick it."

The right horsehead exhaled. He has a sinking look. It is true that Ee-jung is right, without the Chinese people, we will not be able to gather soldiers.

"Does Otomo's anger make sense? Ee-jung, how does Sorin forgive the structure?

Ee-jung's expression was distorted by the inquiry of the right horsehead.

He said, "Look after Otomo."

"Face?"

"Forgive them both, and Otomo's face will fall to the earth. That's why Decaying Tree wants to face Otomo. That's all."

Otomo's face?

"What exactly does Otomo want? Is that Kyushu's flag?

Ee-jung looked at me and shook his head sideways.

"Maybe. But Master Left Gateway, Otomo is not going to say anything. I'll leave it to you, Mr. Uchi."

Don't you say anything? I met my brother in the face. He has a tough look.

"You're weighing in, don't you think, Left Guard?

"Perhaps so, Sorin weighs in on how Mae Uchifu appreciates Otomo. I don't know if you mean it, but you really have to meet Otomo. I've had a rough time."

"What happens if we meet?

The right horsehead asked. Watching the three of us.

"What do you think of my lord?

On the contrary, when asked back, the right horsehead bit his lip.

"I don't know, do you think it's possible for Otomo to work with Ryuji Temple?

Ee-jung replied, "I think it's difficult." Exactly, the relationship between Otomo and Ryuji Temple can be described as uncertain.

"So how does Ryuzukuji move when Otomo attacked the former Uchifu who attacked Hitachi? Shoot a fat decaying tree or attack Otomo..."

The right horsehead is looking at this one.

"I don't know. But I know what the former Uchifu thinks. Let's assume the worst. In other words, Ryuji Temple, Otomo and Shimazu will join forces. Then the decaying trees could be isolated in Kyushu."

The right horsehead nodded loudly. Can you say that things have changed a little bit? It also looks like we're showing an attitude towards things from Maori's defeat. Perhaps the exchange of sentences with the great caterer is affecting it. Daikyo is suffering from the Tokugawa attack, but is still achieving results. For the right horsehead, he's older than our uncle, but it's probably easier for the big butcher to open his mind and understand.

"There's one more thing you need to worry about."

Shikoku, brother.

My brother nodded when I asked.

"There is a potential for confusion among the Awa Sanhao clan as a result of the death of Yasuzu Regent. As for the former Uchi Prefecture, we want to end the Kyushu conquest as soon as possible and prepare for the Shikoku uproar."

"Has Otomo considered the area?"

The right horsehead squeaks.

Sorin is aware of the weaknesses of the former Uchifu, as the right horsehead would say. It is not complimented, but it is not strong, in a way that adds to weakness. But there is considerable danger in dealing with those who are above you. You can't make me angry if you make me dissatisfied. How does Sorin see the area? Is Otomo strongly convinced that it is necessary to suppress Ryuji Temple?

"He said Otomo was thinking about relieving Toyoko's country."

Everyone looked at Ee-jung's words, Ichiku Toyoko.

"Not to say tough. It was best to cage in Mortar Castle. But I don't think Sorin will be satisfied."

Everyone nodded as my brother shook his head to the side.

"And the Maori family replaced the territory they had previously held in Kyushu with the first half of Toyota."

In the first half of abundance, it will be between 100,000 and 150,000 stones. Not bad, if you can hold the sea from Kyushu into Setouchi, it's quite tasty.

But Otomo saw it.

Ee-jung nodded at the words of the right horsehead.

"After his expedition to Kyushu, Mr. Mae Uchi said that he would be appointed Minister of the Taiwan if he returned to Kyushu? For that reason, the expedition must succeed."

Minister of the Tai or I heard from Ee-jung, but not General Tsukiya, Minister of the Tai...... What the hell kind of government will you create?

"So what about Otomo?

"Toyota, two countries in Toyomae"

"To Maori?

"100,000 stones in front of the building"

The right horsehead asked. Ee-jung answered. A hundred thousand stones in Tsukima and a wrinkle came here because Otomo had seen it.

"Yee-jung, there were about 300,000 stones in Akizuki?

When my brother asked, Ee-jung nodded.

"In addition to Maori, both Tachibana and Takahashi enter the building. However, he is a direct minister of Decaying Tree."

Everyone looked at each other. For Otomo, both names would be considered pillars, you say pull them out?

"Is Otomo convinced, Eeyung?"

When I asked, Ee-jung nodded.

"From the current situation, the two countries of Toyotomi and Toyoko can say no dissatisfaction. Besides, if both Tachibana and Takahashi were in front of the building together with Maori as direct ministers of Decaying Wood (ah), it would be difficult to move the Ryubukuji Temple, and let's say we took into account Otomo around. Consultant Hitoi is now persuading Otomo."

"What happens to Kyushu's flag problem?

When my brother asked, Ee-jung gave me a look like he was in trouble.

"It's in Maori"

“Are you serious?", “No way.", “Dumb.” The three of us met each other in the face. I said, "Are you serious?" I said, "No way." Right horsehead, “Dumb” is my brother.

"Neither Otomo nor Ryuji Temple are convinced by their opponents in Kyushu's flag. So to Maori."

"Why won't you say no! Hundred thousand stones to serve as a flag or something! Besides, it's not easy to get Otomo and Ryuji to follow! Isn't that like bringing trouble in!

When his brother reprimanded him, Ee-jung shook his head beside him.

"I can't refuse, if I refuse, it will be disastrous for Maori"

It's a serene word, the three of us looked at each other. Ee-jung laughed out in a low voice. Mocking, I was surprised to see Ee-jung's face.

"Master Left Guardmen, Mr. Left Guardmen said earlier. As long as there's a Dragon Temple, you can't cut Otomo."

"Uhm."

"Ryuzukuji may be thinking of something similar. In order to maintain equilibrium in Kyushu, the Dragon Temple is needed as a restraint for Otomo."

……

"My lord Mae Uchi is angry. Otomo said, and Ryukyuji will not be able to cooperate under decaying trees. He thinks only of his own interests."

There was a noise of decay. I hear the right horsehead drank his spit.

"Mae Uchi is prepared to do the Kyushu expedition twice. Now Akizuki and Shimazu, next..."

Ee-jung cut the words and looked at us.

"Otomo and Ryuji Temple."

When I asked, Ee-jung nodded.

"Mr. Maenai doesn't think Otomo and Ryuji will be able to stay like this. You will soon be seen as causing irritation. Or maybe it makes you wake up. Perhaps after the Four Kingdoms. Let's wrap it up and crush it."

……

"It was also said that the only form was the flag head. You don't have to have both of them."

Instead, it would be difficult to be taken.

I can't say no, then.

Ee-jung nodded at the words of the right horsehead.

"I can't say no, Otomo, if we don't cooperate under the heavens of Decaying Tree, the next thing we know about Dragon Temple will be Maori. Instead, it is important to actively cooperate with the former inner government to enhance Maori's status."

The right horsehead nodded loudly. My brother, who opposed me until earlier, is now silent too. Nevertheless, has Ee-jung spoken that far with the former Uchifu?

Sorin overdid it, and Ryuzukuji also took a sweet look at Mae Uchifu. No, I mistreated the heavenly man. You can't make people angry if you're dissatisfied. Don't make me dissatisfied. Unlike footfall, the former inner government is not as helpless as the footfall. Those two will understand that when they perish too......

In late June, the third trillion years (1583), Yui Fucheng, Chungyi Village, Kama County, Guoma Prefecture

"You convinced Ryuzukuji Yamagata, right?

"Yes."

When I nodded, Nagazo Miyauchi, Shigezo Kurono, showed how relieved he was.

"Let's get this matter to the public as soon as possible. We have to appease them."

"Dear Left, you may just name your soldiers."

"I'll crush you then, relentless. It doesn't take any more reluctance from Otomo."

In the words of the Great Hall, the palace of Miyauchi and the palace of Shirazo gave a troubled expression.

"I understand your discomfort, but I thought we should prioritize the attack on Shimazu first. To do this, Otomo, you must take Dragon Temple with you."

"Is that your ally, Sosuke Miyauchi? All I'm thinking about is making a profit from pulling my leg. It's the same as footfall, if you help me out and make a fuss about helping me, I'll complain. It's like a bug in a lion!

"I'm sorry," said Kosuke Miyauchi as the Great Hall roughed up his voice.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't his fault, but it hit me."

The Great Hall was apologized for his terrible face. Sasuke Miyauchi also has a very bad look. Oh, boy.

The Great Hall has no difficulty serving the vast. I don't see the intensity of temper, the roughness, as they say in the reputation. Probably keeping it down. But there are times when you can catch a glimpse of it, like you do now. That's when the outrage accumulated. The Great Hall has a strong outrage at Otomo, Ryuji Temple. Don't underestimate that.

Otomo saw it. The purpose was to treat those who had left Otomo, but the true aim was to treat Otomo. The Sorin Temple had the desire to defend the position of the prestigious Otomo and stand above the Ryubukuji Temple, and to become a distinct presence in Kyushu. But more than that, there must have been anxiety about how Otomo would be treated. In the negotiations with Lord Sorin, we saw that in time. By then Otomo had weakened. In fact, the Great Hall was considered a Toyoko country by Otomo, so I can say that the fear of Lord Sorin was not a matter of concern.

We have to give orders to the Navy waiting in Tosa.

"Right."

"Then it would be better to move the soldiers in about five days."

"Um, don't be.... That's not funny."

The Great Hall, where I was talking to Lord Reizo, was suddenly flaunted.

"How did you do it?

When asked, the Great Hall snorted abominably.

"The attack on Shimazu will be from July to August and September. It's season for the wild to come, and the Navy will have to pull them off in August."

Everyone nodded at the words of the Great Hall.

"I wasted a month on both of them. I'm pissed off!

Lord Sorin was wrong. I saw that there was no way to negotiate after Shimazu's conquest. I guess that's why I saw it before the Shimazu crusade. Indeed, Otomo achieved results by doing so. But I also bought the wrath of the Great Hall.

Two countries, Toyomae and Toyomae. It would be a good territory to say too much for Otomo right now. But Lord Sorin showed difficulty in the fact that the two men, Lord Dao Snow and Lord Shao Yun, would no longer be Otomo's ministers. He also expressed discomfort at giving 100,000 stones to both names. I wasn't convinced to convince him that it was better to put those two in front of the building and put them in restraint to Ryuji Temple. As Otomo's minister, he demanded that the territory be given before the construction. In short, Tsukima told me to stop by myself.

Lord Dao Snow and Lord Shao Yun tried to resign 100,000 stones from becoming direct ministers. I guess I was as ugly as the soul of Lord Sorin for both names. But the Great Hall did not acknowledge it. I also did not forgive both names when they said they wanted to persuade the Sorin Palace. Things would be unnecessarily confusing if both names intervened now. I said don't do anything.

And the Great Hall recognized the 200,000 stones of Tsukima as the Great Friend. The concessions had to be made, if any more hassle was taken, the Chinese people who surrendered in Toyomoto and Toyotomi could not raise their soldiers out of anxiety. However, Dao Yuezhou and Shao Yun became the direct subjects of Decaying Wood. Lord Sorin accepted it. Lord Sorin seemed satisfied. I thought I was old. Or should I have suspected that the honor given by Foolish would be handed down even to decaying trees... I guess I'm still old.

"Dao Yue, both names of Shao Luck have been made famous generals under heaven and loyal ministers of Otomo. I didn't expect to let that go with 200,000 stones. Sorin is stupid, too. Let the Lord and ministers, who are worthless of serving, be distracted. I'd pick those two over 200,000 stones. Especially if what Otomo needs now is people, I don't know that either... '

That was the word of the Great Hall. Lord Dao Snow, Lord Shao Luck was crying with his body trembling when he heard the words of the Great Hall. Let's keep those two away from Lord Sorin already. Lord Sorin was unjustly devoured. It is not acceptable.

Ryuzukuji did not contest the decision of the Great Hall. Otomo did get territory. But there are no people. Especially since there is no Tao Snow Palace or Sho Luck Palace. I guess you decided you didn't have to be afraid of Otomo. And Kyushu's flag did not leak dissatisfaction with Maori either. Maori only holds 100,000 stones in Kyushu. I guess you thought it was just a Maori flag in shape to keep Otomo out of the flag. You're right, Daihari doesn't want anything more from Maori. What Maori wants is to secure the prehistoric territory. This will be the landing point for decaying trees on the next expedition.

I didn't hear any dissatisfaction from Maori in this disturbance. I don't think there is any dissatisfaction. Probably feeling the wrath of the Great Hall. The Great Hall also thinks Maori has pulled a poverty label, and has done something sorry. I'll make up for that one sooner or later. Maori is wise, trying to gain trust and be big by actively cooperating instead of rubbing. As far as that attitude goes, Otomo will not perish, but Maori...
