When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Mid-January (1585) Yahoncheng, Yahoncheng, Hahoncheng Town, Fusheng County, Omi

The year has dawn. I've been busy since last year's twilight. And there was a crane's wedding, and the birth of snow, and laurels, and vines, and the birth of bamboo, and the birth of children. The celebration continued, but I was busy looking around. It would have been easier to have been at war in Shikoku. You can tell from the pavilion owner that he is well and away from home.

The wedding of Tsuru and Kingsguard became quite lavish as the wedding of a public house that took place in recent years. Five thousand soldiers offered to keep him in. Less than 30,000 bamboo, but that also had the purpose of showing the decaying tree's strength and financial strength to the entire Uesugi family. There is no such thing this time. More than that, there may be people in the palace who are anxious. Five thousand is enough. And the crane was given a thousand stones as cosmetics. Kingsguard's stone height is a little short of 3,000 stones. Thousands of stone cosmetics are quite large. A thousand and five hundred stones of cosmetics are made by Prince Yong-jounuchi, who married the Nishien Temple family. There will be no problem.

I thought I'd miss you a little bit, but the crane unexpectedly went with my wife. Maybe I thought I'd see you at any time because you're a Kingsguard in Kyo. Something clapped out. I wondered if it was something like that, so I asked Xiao Night and Snow and they both said it was something like that. Right, we both left our parents and came to me. I guess that's what it is. Kids don't seem as anxious or lonely as parents think.

Snow and vine gave birth to a boy. Gui is a woman. He named it Conventional for the Son of Snow and Yoshichiyo for the Son of Vine. For the son of laurel, he named it silk. I was born first in Yoshichiyo, my brother, and later in Koshichiyo, my brother. Silk was born after that. Yoshichiyo's Yoshichiyo's Yoshi is the Yoshifu's Yoshifu. Nobunaga seemed an unfamiliar father to Vine. I guess I couldn't do a family reunion after the war. Only then did Vine put up with Nobunaga because he thought he was a great man. I got a word from the father's childhood name, and the vine was happy to cry. He was glad I knew Nobunaga's childhood name. The old ministers of Oda are delighted.

Snow has told me to resign from the bedding. Snow also crossed thirty already. In this day and age it becomes an elderly birth. We've been together a long time. I said I would not admit my resignation, I would not make children, and I would treat them the same way as I would at night. He was convinced, but what would happen? I did it the other night with a little night. He said “I won't be" at night, but I got excited. It may be the livestock business to cage his wife, but it was only the first time he was fighting a small night. Let's think we've developed a new play. It feels like Snow and I are about to do the same. Well, if you're careful with contraception, you'll be fine.

The child born of bamboo was a boy. His name was Tiger Chiyo. I think you deserve the name of the Uesugi family, because they gave you the childhood name of humility. If any Kingsguard had a son, each of the three heads of the family, Decaying Wood, Uesugi and Kingsguard, would be the closest home to each other's cousins. Then Maori to the west. The weight of decaying trees increases over time if you connect them to the edge here. The Hexagon family almost broke the edge. Hoshikawa, Hayama, Takeda, Kitami, and Tuki. All are prestigious patron daimyo, but the turmoil did not survive. The edges must go carefully.

He's a Maori, but he said he wanted to keep his minister in Omi while I was away. In short, ambassador, in old-fashioned terms, it's a voicemail. I gave permission with my uncle and the people who were guarding his absence. That's good, but it was Kodamasaro's right guard, Motoru, who came. Even the Maori are heavy ministers. I suppose that's why we're looking at the trend of decaying trees so heavily, but not just in person, but the whole family is coming to Omi. There are three of them, but is Saburo Rightmen trying to train his sons as diplomats? I don't know one thing about the relationship with Anyuji right now. Let's check back later.

This year we have to prime Chiyo Turtle. There is also a wedding with Sanho Chikuma Maru's main clothes and Lily. Kotaro of Tokugawa also has to be served, and there is the wedding of Princess Pawn of Hokjo. That's some kind of mitzvah and wedding on-parade. And a messenger from Ryukyu comes. We have to coordinate that area with the morning court to see how it will be welcomed. We need to do it flashy, but we also need to show martial arts. The messenger is coming in May, we don't have time, we have to hurry.

First, I will meet in Omi to talk about Ryukyu's relationship with Japan. From a security standpoint, Ryukyu should rely on Japan. We should probably put Ryukyu under Japanese asylum. Let them understand the area and subordinate it to Japan. Economically, you can't refuse to have a relationship with Japan. We'll just have to convince him one by one.

The other day, Iga's Fujiyashi Nagato Shogun snuck in. A golden mountain was found in Kishino, Rhombush in Kyushu. I was excited to say that the dream I had was a genuine dream. Ninjas are excited, that was hilarious. The mining would take some time, but now decaying trees got gold. It was also obtained from Surugawa and Izu, but it should be much larger. It will provide a stable supply. After that, if you hold some gold, make gold coins, silver coins and distribute them domestically. Finally, ten years since you conceived it. Heikyuro Arakawa and Hijiro Kawasei were both happy and excited that Decaying Tree was going to make money.

Some people find the discovery of Golden Mountain uninteresting. It's Ryuzukuji Temple, maybe Otomo doesn't think it's funny either. It seems that the hiding of the Dragon Temple was thrown at the person who reported the cup when he heard that Golden Mountain had been discovered. The rapporteur is not guilty. I know it's because I was drunk, but I guess I'm losing self-control.

It seems that Ryukyuji's hiding has also leaked much dissatisfaction with the arrival of envoys from Ryukyu. The fruits of the heavenly people of decaying trees are steadily growing. That's not funny. I have also complained about the development of streets in Ryuji Temple territory and the abolition of Guan. Don't be ridiculous! Maori also embraces street maintenance and the abolition of Guan.

Not convinced by a national lord? Are you an idiot? Develop your territory and create new financial resources! Sell that to the merchants! For this purpose, it creates an environment in which merchants can operate easily, although that would be the Lord's job! Otomo has said something similar, but if he doesn't like it, he told me to cage him in the castle and prepare for the war. I hate Dragon Temple and Otomo, but you accepted.

You're still a mess in those guys' heads. I don't think the turmoil is over. I guess you think you have a chance somewhere. I do not recognize the heavens of decaying wood. Therefore, we believe that the maintenance of the streets will make it easier for enemies to advance, and should be avoided as much as possible. Both Ryuzukuji and Otomo are watching for opportunities. Finally, I'm putting the decaying tree at risk. I guess that's what I came up with. Well, I'm actually thinking about crushing it, so can't I blame you? I sent a sentence to Inspector Koyamada of Satsuma telling him not to be alarmed.

Kyushu offense is as early as later this year. In the first half, let's clear up the matter of marriage, uniform and Ryukyu. The problem is the trigger. It's time for the Igas to plant the spark.

Late January (1585), Yahoncheng, Yahoncheng Town, Fusheng County, Omijiang

"It's in Xiaowei."

In the darkness, I heard Little Soldier. How many times have we talked like this in the dark?

"I've been waiting for you, soldier. What do you know about the horses?

"Yes, come on. Something nasty happened. Is the Great Hall familiar with the toothpick?

"I know. would be a separator."

"Yes, no deal with North Korea will come true without it"

What you need in a deal with Ming is a coincidence. Ming, who was troubled by Kuo, asked Japan to take control of Kuo. Japan, on the other hand, wanted a deal with Ming. The two cooperated. Japan took control of Kuo and Ming admitted to doing business with Japan. Of course, it's Asahi trade in the form of subordination, not free trade. A matchmark was used to show evidence that it was a trading vessel recognized by the Japanese Government. The toothpick was traded that morning. I've heard it's made of ivory.

"So you know why the fangs were made?

"would be to prevent private trade"

"Not exactly. It's to prevent false angels, that is, false use."

……

"It was the Higashiyama Hall that established the system for trading by means of fangs."

"Uhm."

The Higashiyama Temple is a matter of imperial government. It seems that the public appreciated that Azumi, the musician who built the Ginkakuji Temple, caused the confusion of Yanren, but that was not all. From the story of Xiaobing, I can see that he was keen on doing business with Ming and the DPRK. Foolish Shogun can't rely on tax revenues from land because it has few territories. I guess I found a way to do business with overseas. Though I can't appreciate how easy it is to use the most money.

The Japanese-Dynasty trade is just like the Japanese-Dynasty trade. Trade had taken place in the form of accompanying exchanges of diplomatic envoys granted permission to transit from the Korean dynasty. The problem was that there was no way to determine whether this diplomatic envoy was real or not in the early days and mornings of trade. The King's Ambassador of Japan, officially dispatched by the Shogun of Muromachi, and the Minister of Royal Castle, dispatched by the eminent patron fathers, were allowed free traffic. It was Mr. Soto and Hakata's merchants who saw this place. They thought of sending a fake royal castle minister envoy to trade. This is the false angel.

The North Korean side was suspicious, but there was no way to confirm it. Seems I had to acquiesce. In such a place, the imperial minister presented it to the Korean side in an attempt to verify its identity by means of a quota. Maybe the leading guardian daimyo, who was used by his name, appealed to the eunuch. It is possible that Tabernacle's leading patron Otema, who focuses on the three administrations such as Mr. Hoshikawa, Mr. Spo and Mr. Hayama, was angry when his name was used on his own. I suppose you thought you couldn't leave your mother-in-law alone either. The North Korean side was happy to ride it. Apparently, ten fang marks were made.

However, it is the King of Japan and the Minister of Royal Castle who are now identified here. Otouchi and Sosei, among others, who had already obtained their own traffic rights from the Korean dynasty, were not subject to control. In other words, the imperial government will have recognized vested interests. I told you to stop the fraud. However, the treatment of the King of Japan and the Minister of Royal Castle was better than that of the envoys sent by Mr. Ouchi and Mr. Sosei. In other words, they were treated well in terms of trade. The introduction of the toothpick system was a major blow to Mr. Ouchi, Mr. Soto and Hakata's merchants.

"Lord Higashiyama valued this toothpick for his trade with the DPRK. We do not recognize the royal castle minister's ambassador by the eminent patron name, who holds fang marks."

"I see, have you turned down the financial resources of the leading patron daimyo, whether there is a monopoly of profits or not? Not quite. The patron masters would have been better before."

"Truly."

Little soldier's voice contains laughter. I'm going to laugh, too. Without the fangs, the messenger cannot be sent out. Don't you think it's a food-for-money attack? Wasn't he just an idiot, though he might be a musician? You're going to like something.

Shadow Chang Kurono, Hachima-cho, Hachima-cho, Fusheng County, Omijiang, late January, 2015

The Great Hall is laughing with Couscous.

"There were no problems with Lord Higashiyama's replacement. The problem follows. The coup d 'état in Ming Ying has divided the general family."

"Uhm."

"Toothpicks have become a tool to keep a strong guardian at your side."

"... I see, if you have a toothpick, you are free to trade with Korea. That's enough bait to catch the guardians."

"Yes."

The Great Hall said, "Wait."

"Little soldier, when Lord Yoshihui stayed in the decaying tree, I didn't hear about the toothpick"

"Maybe the general didn't have any fang marks by then."

"Well... what's going on with the fang marks now?

"I don't know. We know that there are two in the Otomo family and one in the Maori family."

"Maori, you took it from the Ouchi family."

"Yes."

The remaining seven toothpicks are missing. Probably lost it with the fall of the Guardian Daimyo. He who knows the taste of the Japanese trade, and he who has fallen…. Hoshikawa, Monochrome, Kyoko..., there are many of them. Otomo is the only one left with a strong guardian name.

"These are the three, but they were loaned to Mr. Soo."

"... Soo-san was using it to put out false angels, wasn't he?

"Ha."

"Let out a false angel, subordinate. That house doesn't do anything for a deal. I wouldn't be able to live without it."

The Great Hall leaked a sigh.

"The horse can't harvest rice because the land is thin. We have mastered the Minister by mastering the right to trade with the DPRK and distributing it to the Minister as a knowledge. If we can't make a deal, we can't even control the minister. It's a matter of life and death."

It is easy to blame Mr. Soo, but there are circumstances that cannot be considered the same as other houses. But the status quo is also awkward to leave.

"By the way, it's gross."

"Uhm."

"I have returned the toothpick from Soussan."

"... you mean you don't want to eat all the time"

"Probably."

The Great Hall laughed.

"Mr. Soo will have seen it"

"Much"

"Is Otomo staying put?"

"Yes."

"You're not cute."

There is a laugh in my voice. It's not too much anger.

Little Soldier, will you summarize it in your report?

"Ha."

"And, Hakata, check the sardines. Joseon, I want you to take Mr. Soo into custody. Sooner or later, I want to hold off on who turns to the enemy when I negotiate or do something with North Korea."

"You think the merchant will turn to the enemy?

The Great Hall laughed “Little Soldier, Little Soldier”.

"Merchants hate losing profits more than anything. The more profitable the better. You know how scared the money is."

"Ha."

Exactly. There are as many people falling for money as there are. Even people off the road to get money. It was Mr. Soto and Hakata's merchants who were most opposed to the introduction of the toothpick. Can't you be alarmed?

"So you think the country will be the first to meet the Ryukyu emissary?

"I think so."

When I answered, Kanbai Kyujo and Takashi gave him a slightly dissatisfied look. One, the left minister is not as good as that. Article 2 Right minister is staring at me and Kanbai's face. Tatsuji Kimchi looks interesting and his son's interior minister has a strange look on his face. And this time a new Kwon Dai Na Yan Hawks Qingfang is participating. Two, three, brothers, you're all set.

"It may be uncomfortable for someone to see the envoy before seeing him in the courtroom. However, we believe it is necessary to ascertain the purpose of this mission and how Ryukyu would like to conduct future relations with Japan. I would also like to receive your words from the hospital and emperor to the messenger in the place of sight. I was wondering if someone should see me first. And I'm going to talk to you about it, and I'm going to set up a procedure to look at it, and that's what I think."

“I see," Sekiko nodded. I don't like it. The hospital, when the emperor said he wanted your word, everyone looked up.

"Is there a problem with the hospital, the eyes on the emperor?

When I asked, everyone looked at each other.

"I can't say anything. This matter has not been made public. The hospital, after confirming the will of the emperor, will inform everyone."

Everyone nodded at Kanbai's words. That's passive, I see a lot of disagreement maybe. Or do you see the hospital, the emperor, as opposed? These people are not on board either. Anyone is good. It's okay, I wonder if you could tell me to leave it to you. I don't rely on anything.

"Patriotic, what is the purpose of this messenger?

Article The left minister has asked.

"To be honest, I don't know. But Shimazu was destroyed by an expedition to Kyushu. If Ryukyu deals with Japan, he can no longer ignore decaying trees."

Everyone nodded.

"And one has long told Ryukyu that if he is going to defend his country even if he subordinates himself to Ming in terms of trading, he should ask Japan. After the Kyushu expedition, there are 20,000 soldiers in Satsuma. Let Ryukyu know that too. How do you see the neighborhood..."

"Intimidation."

Kanbai has turned a slightly reprehensible gaze. I wonder if the martial family thinks it's barbaric. Extraordinary, this would be the usual path for external negotiations.

Sometimes it's like, "How's it going?"

There was a voice of consent in Tai Chi's words. I agree with that, too. This time the envoy is likely to see things. On the face of it, they'll say something about the deal. The guarantee of the continuation of future transactions and the demand to expand the volume of transactions, that is the case. I need more confirmation than a single point of contact.

But you also have the task of reconnaissance of this situation behind it. How much does decaying wood have power? Is it true that the turmoil is coming to an end? What time will unity be? Is there a will to invade Ryukyu? etc. Particular emphasis will be placed on the period of power and unity of decaying trees.

I didn't leave the country because my footfall was weak. So what about decaying trees? In this case, the presence or absence of will is irrelevant. You can have the will at any time if you have the strength. It is not uncommon for external policy to change by substitution. And as likely as substitution is when the country is united. When there are no more enemies in the country, it can be enough to seek them outside the country.

Domestic reunification would be possible in the next five years or so. It also has power. The envoy from Ryukyu must be made firmly aware of that. And I think you should send me a messenger after next year. This will check the progress of this unification. That should be more pressure.
