Ryukyu Koyakawa, Kaolin Castle, Upper Unorin Village, Yoshizu County, Peripheral Defense, early November, 2015

"The vanguard is in our fury."

The right horsehead made a wish. But the Patriot shook his head from left to right.

"I am delighted that the Maori family has wished for the vanguard. But first we fight. They told me they let other houses fight and keep their troops warm, but they're no match."

"Become"

When the right horsehead recruited him, the country shook his head beside him again.

"You can't be unscrupulous in this battle. The army moves slowly. If Hidden tries to fight me, he'll fight pretty far from home. Ten soldiers move in the meantime. The ministers can't ignore the Ten Guards even if Hidden wants a showdown with me. I would anxiously advise you to withdraw. You can't fight with your heart in one."

Everyone nodded. Some see wisdom.

"If you leave hiding, I won't fight. Prepare yourself and wait for the army of recluse to collapse."

……

"Don't be overly cared for, Lord Right Horsehead. I am fully satisfied and grateful for the work of the Maori family. This time, I'm also bringing my son-in-law and Sanho. I need to learn a little bit about fighting."

Patriotic smiles and looks like he has trouble with his right horsehead. I have to send out a rescue ship.

"Thank you for your trust. But Dear Aikoku, Ryuji Temple Yamajo Shoku, shall we come out?

It could have been a bit of an ironic question. The right horsehead is making his expression strong. But the other country didn't look grumpy.

"I don't know. But if you don't come out, I'll attack the postmortem and attack you before you get fat. Then the Ten Guards will also move. They just get attacked and stuck from the front and back. Then you can't beat me. You knew I would come to the Dragon Temple. You can't wake a soldier if you're not ready to fight me, can you?

Everyone nodded.

"Win a showdown with me before the Ten Guards don't move. It will determine that it is best. First of all, there has been no bargaining with me since I mentioned the soldiers. Dragon Temple's lair identifies me as an enemy. You know you need my neck to win, don't you?

Everyone nodded.

"There's also the possibility that the hideout moves after I'm in front of the fat. Let them fly close. Don't be cautious there. But at that time, the Ten Guards are attacking him before he gets fat. Seventy thousand armies. When that happens, can you move? It's pretty hard, but I also have a hand in beating the Ten Guards and then going to me. I think you need to be very careful there."

Patriotic gaze wisely. When Akechi replied, "I'm very happy." The other country said, "Please.” He nodded.

"Hiding is a turbulent man. He wants to fight me. And he wants to win and grow up. That's what I think. Well, I can't leave even if I want to. It could happen. But I want you to come out if you can."

When the country laughed, there was a laugh on the throne.

"By the way, they seem to be accompanying the Ryukyu messenger..."

When Ee-jung inquired, Aikoku nodded.

"After this, we'll head back to Ryukyu by sea to Sama. This one showed enough martial arts. The Apostles' hearts have come a long way. We'll be back in Ryukyu later."

The Maori side looked at each other. The ministers of Decaying Wood seem satisfied.

"So you think Ryukyu is subordinate?

If you submit, what will you do next with the DPRK? That's what I thought, but the country shook its head to the side.

"I don't think it's going to be that easy. King Ryukyu also has a face. I guess it's easy to submit."

……

I see, Fumiko... It's troublesome, for example. It can be emotionally convincing, not rational.

"But Ming is clearly in danger. More and more people think so in Ryukyu. Now that the South Barbarians are gaining strength, how about Ming help Ryukyu in case... King Ryukyu must be anxious about that. Otherwise, there will be no messengers for two consecutive years. You'll get lost."

Now everyone looked at each other.

"How about next year?

"Coming, Sungawa Temple. He wants to know a country called Japan. Last time, it was three of us, but we might get more next year."

"Allegedly?

When my brother inquired, the country broke his face.

"I also saw it in the morning court this time. The Ryukyu messengers were quite frightened. You said you should have taken the form of a proper messenger."

Some roared. You mean the reconstruction of the Morning Hall is helping? Is that why you laugh? But would the Ryukyu King send an envoy? If I were to send it, I would have approached you one step closer, maybe I should have seen it that way.

"Do you think Ming will perish?

When Akechi Tenbui asked, the country frowned.

"I don't know. That country has a bottom line just because it's big. Easy to perish. But the Emperor of Ming is clearly an idiot. That's a big idiot, too. I just think I'm trying to crucify Ming's stalk myself."

……

"The emperor is still young. The longer the Emperor lives, the more likely Ming is to perish. When Ming perishes, he will make a sound and perish. That vibration would shake the surrounding countries. It's with the big New Year earthquake. It'll be confusing."

"Are those rocking countries Ryukyu, Korea, and Japan?

When my brother inquired further, he said, "Well," and tilted his neck.

"Ryukyu, Korea is naturally affected because it is subordinate to Ming. How about Japan? They may be affected by transactions, but they can be done."

I don't see any extra significant impact on Japan. Ryukyu, Korea after all. Is that why a messenger from Ryukyu is coming to Japan?

"How do we look at the current situation in Korea?

The other country tilted its neck at the inquiry of the right horsehead.

"It's a difficult place, I don't care what the trouble is, but I can't move like Ryukyu. Whatever you say, it goes on. If you make strange moves, that's the only way you can turn your soldiers. I think I have that fear."

……

"If there were times when Korea would be confused, it would be north."

“Coming"? What do you mean "coming”? Everyone is looking at each other. Apparently it's not just my question.

"That's when a country like the one created by Mongolia appeared in the north. It must come to light then, or to the North, or North Korea must be lost. The country should be disrupted by that. Until then, screaming will follow the light. You can't rely on Japan across the ocean."

"I see, you're just like the weak little people."

Everyone nodded at Soi Torii's words. I see, north?

"And then what? What happens after Ming?

Hirozo Kurono inquired, but Aikoku shook his head to the side.

"I don't know that either. Will it divide, will a new country emerge, or will it be attacked and captured by an exotic... There will be a time before it dies, and it will depend on what happens in and out of the Ming."

……

"If a mighty nation emerges outside the Ming, it will also destroy the Ming. And build a new country. It's what you taste."

"How is the Great Hall?

I said, "Me?" as I was surprised when Sasuke Nagazomi Miyauchi asked. Then I put down a moment and then laughed out loud.

"You can't. There are more people in Ming than in Japan. It's not easy to send soldiers because there's an ocean in between, it's not easy to send soldiers food. Besides, I don't even get the word. Even if they say they will shoot Ming down and occupy him in this situation and build a new country, it is visible that he will fail. If that happens, Japan will also be exhausted. We can't go back to turmoil. I can't do that."

Sin. Everyone is looking at each other. When I saw it, the other country laughed.

"Well, you can't keep your eyes off me. I'd like to see Ming perish if I can, but my life may run out first. Me or Ming's life expectancy, which runs out first. Competition. I'm looking forward to it."

Kaga Hirai raised his voice when Aikoku laughed “Daiya!". The other country laughed out louder.

"It means you have to live long, uncle. Don't be so mad at me."

"Yes, it is."

Decaying wood ministers are troublesome faces. He sees that it takes quite a few years for Ming to perish to see from the words of the other country. But in the meantime, there was unpleasant air. To put an end to it?

"Mr. Soo-san of the opposite horse..."

The interior made it shin again. We know that Mr. Soo's minister attached a connection to the Dragon Builder Temple. Well, how will it be......

"You can't crush it. But I'm going to order a realm change. The opposite horse really has to rely on a deal because the land is poor. And you're going to be weak against Korea."

Everyone nodded. I hear there are voices in the courtroom that regard Mr. Soo as a problem. That would have something to do with it, too.

"So what about the anti-horse?

When the right horsehead asked, the country nodded.

"It shall be the direct jurisdiction of decaying trees. Let's set up a service and let's manage the deal with North Korea there. And I'm going to use it as a base for the Navy. Japan is an island country, if we try to attack this country, we need grounds. I think Ryukyu, Kyushu, and Tsushima are the easiest bases. You can't entrust a horse to Mr. Zong, who is susceptible to Korean influence."

Everyone nodded.

I see. Is that why you touched the original thing earlier? In two ex-kokus, enemies pushed against the horses and against Kyushu. If you put a mighty sailor against the horses, you can repel them at sea before the enemy lands. I can't do it with Mr. Soo... Now that Ming is on the verge of doom, it is possible that a newly interested country will attack Japan. Looking for Ryukyu's subordination may also be something to look forward to...

After the evening, the right horsehead, my brother, Ee-jung, and my four had a place to talk.

"How did the Ryukyu messenger see this army?"

"They say Ryukyu is not such a big country. You'd have crushed your liver."

You might have thought Ryukyu was next, brother.

"Well, I guess so."

Ee-jung, brother, my conversation. The right horsehead is listening in silence.

"Then Ryukyu's subordination may be quick."

Everyone nodded at his brother's words.

"In that case, trust in the kingdom of the Korean court will be strengthened."

Ee-jung is right. It's still thicker enough but definitely thicker. For that matter, the heavens of decaying trees stabilize.

"It's not like footfall"

It was the right horsehead who puked. Ee-jung, my brother, I looked at each other. Certainly not. Foolish was all about himself. The power was weak and the control of the great names was not possible at all. I would never have been able to order a realm change against Mr. Soo-san the horse.

"Yoshiaki-san was only seen under the heavens of Takaori. The other country is different. I see things in this country, things outside the country. Big."

“It's not like a foothold," he muttered this time shaking his head. It does have a broad horizon. At some point, I look to Ming, not just Korea. He clearly said he couldn't attack, but he did...

Early November (1586), Kaolin Castle, Ueno Ring Village, Yoshizu Prefecture, Peripheral Defense

I can't sleep. I have to sleep early tomorrow, but I can't sleep at all. I know, it's the Long Sect's fault, Kosuke Miyauchi. Totally terrible things to say.

"How is the Great Hall?

You told me to attack mainland China... Then I'll be Hideyoshi! Hideyoshi, how are you?

I felt bad after I said I couldn't. There was a weird time. I wonder what that was? I made a joke and laughed it off, but you think I can do it? And yet you've been denied, and you're disappointed? But hey, it's obvious that we fail to think in common sense about marching to mainland China.

First of all, the population is different, which means different forces. Overwhelmingly, mainland China is more. There are, of course, examples of occupying large countries even with small populations. Qing is right. But it would be a rare example. It doesn't make sense that I can do it either because I made it clean. Plus there are troop replenishments and supplies.

The wind is the thrust of ships in this era. In other words, it will also use the wind to get the ship out. It's not like I can get it out at any time. The neighborhood is not like Qing. Qing was underground, so the soldiers could be sent out at any time. And the cavalry would be the center, so it should have been manoeuvrable. The soldiers were deployed quickly.

After the advent of the steamship, the wind could be ignored. But Showa's army attacked mainland China but lost. There are, of course, reasons why the strategy of fighting the United States, hostile to the Soviet Union and sending troops on the Indian side was unscrupulous. But it would have been tough without it. The continent swallows soldiers. It doesn't matter how many soldiers there are in a vast area like mainland China, you would have been out of breath in the end.

We need a local ally to prevent that. But I don't think I'll recognize the infidels who don't speak the language, especially the Toyi handlers, as rulers. It would be easier to accept the rule of the Horse-riding Nation of the North if we tried it on the Chinese. In fact, I have accepted it several times. Yu, Tang, yuan. I think it is because there have been examples in the past of accepting the rule of Qing. For the Chinese, the nomadic horseback riding peoples of the North were sometimes rulers of their own. Unlike Japan.

No matter how you look at Japan's invasion of mainland China, don't fail. I know history. But you don't know history. Maybe you don't know it around. Especially now that the Emperor of Ming finds out he's an idiot, it's no surprise to think it's time to attack. Hideyoshi's Korean Peninsula march was aimed at the conquest of Ming. Maybe Hideyoshi also knew the Ten Thousand Calendar Emperor was an idiot. So I thought it was time to attack, I also agreed with my surroundings... You must have seen it mature enough.

What would you do if you ordered North Korea to lead the way to Ming and serve such an idiot at all times? You could have had better thoughts serving me, if you thought about it a little bit, you'd know, maybe you had that kind of emotion. Well, it's an easy case of betrayal in Japan. This could have been one of the calculations for Ming's conquest.

But Korea did not follow Hideyoshi. How would it have been if there had been quite a country to the north? Didn't Korea get lost? Do you think Hideyoshi will be allowed to cross on the north side? Hideyoshi has more options, too. Korea would not have been hostile if it had prioritized forming an alliance with the North. Maybe Ming was lucky in that sense. Because Korea had no choice but to rely on Ming.

You wouldn't have meant it, Hideyoshi. I may not have understood why North Korea relies on Ming. Surrender to yourself and I'll give you a lot of treatment, so I wish I could lead a Korean soldier into a clear attack with you. That way I added more territory. That's what I thought about why I made a fool of myself.

In the peace negotiations, the fool sealed Hideyoshi to the King of Japan. That pisses me off, it's going to be another Korean soldier.... I don't know, let's go to bed, it's early tomorrow.
