When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Mid-June (1588) Kanakura View of Misawa Castle, Misawa Village, Gigawa Prefecture

Dong Dong Dong and I heard a strong tread down the hallway. You've come back, or from the footsteps, you're a wretch. The young hall came into the room with a snarling door open. That's a grumpy look. It looks even worse because of the eye bands. A man says make a face, and whoever stands on top says make a face... They left the door open and headed to the upper seat. When I closed the door, I was sitting back making noises with Dosun.

"How was it?

When asked, he shook his head to the side with no strength.

"You can't. I said I should send out soldiers... They told me that even if I sent out soldiers now, it would only confuse me and damage my soldiers to jail."

"Still on your left,"

"Mm-hmm. That guy's right, Kojiro."

I'm not happy to be praised. Bad prediction, I'd rather it came off.

Decaying trees gathered their troops on the everlasting land and in the lower field. Sixty thousand for everlasting land, seventy thousand for downfield. Shimoki Shimono was based in Uyama Castle led by Aikoku himself. White River County told me that the goal was to stop Asahi by making him look like he was after Aizu. The goal of decaying trees is to attack and crush Mr. Satake on the mainland from the south. Okinawa attacked after the Kanto attack.

There was also a fear that they would attack the permanent land from the south and west by showing it the most. The northern part of the permanent land is rich in mountains, not necessarily an easy place to move large armies. As long as there's enough hindsight, Sabaki can fight more than each other. When I restrained the asparagus name, it seemed like it would stop the movement and crush Satake from the south and west with all my might, it could be enough. Ushan Castle is closer to Nak County, the permanent land than White River County. Satake prepared the soldiers separated to the south and north. Naturally, there are not enough soldiers, Asura asked for reinforcements.

But the asparagus did not move. They figured out the movement of decaying trees before moving. Stupid thing. Seems like I thought I had to do more than have less force, but then I'm going to turn around. You can't win by turning your back on a decaying tree. Instead, we should have thought about moving the soldiers in coalition with Dada...

The reason the asparagus name cannot move aggressively is because the interior is not wrapped in one. There is a serious conflict between the ministers brought by our Lord Yoshihiro from Satake and the ministers of Akimi during the Akimi family. My Lord Yoshihiro is unable to move between the two. He also refused to allow soldiers to go any further than the decaying tree's aim was unclear in his request for rescue from Satake. I said no even when Dada sent out soldiers to fight decaying trees together. They don't trust Dada. No, it's the asparagus ministers who can't be trusted. I suspect that the anti-Satake heavy ministers will attack Asura by giving it to Dada.

And as you can see, the decaying trees of Wushan Castle attacked Everland. Decaying trees strike from the south as well. Takazawa Castle, Toriko Castle and Takabe Castle in Neglected Nak County fell. Seeing it, Ashikame also moves to Sabaki Rescue. But the motion of the decaying trees from there poked at my mind. When he flipped, he returned to Shimono and attacked White River County. The asparagus name that was about to send reinforcements to the permanent land was confused.

Kano Mori Castle, Hut Mountain Hall, White River Castle and Xiaofeng Castle fell when they tried to send soldiers to White River County. It wasn't long. The White River Guan was broken through. No more asparagus can go out for reinforcements to Satake... I'll protect Aizu, so I'll do my best. And Satake is isolated and facing the attack of the Decaying Wood Army in the south alone. This one will be the best because it protects the constant land. No, I can't even protect you. As it is, both Satake and Ashime will be destroyed by each of them.

"I wish I had adopted Kojiro. If so, Dada, the alliance of asparagus..."

Exactly, but not if it's blurry.

"Were you told you should fall back on decaying trees?

The young hall was nodded.

"I said. I don't even keep Sabaki anymore. You should also think about going back to sleep to protect the Dada family. I said we should send out soldiers for that... but the old ministers are going to blame me. You don't trust Dada, what's wrong with you?

It's like throwing up. They blamed me for everything. The young hall has long been a decaying tree. Dada's heavy ministers are uncomfortable with such a young hall.

"Where is my lord?

"... Father is lost"

"You don't have time to get lost. Let's attack Uesugi into the realm of Asami."

The young hall was distorted in the face. In recent years, Uesugi and Asami have been close to each other at the border. But it is obvious to the eye that Uesugi will invariably attack as well, even more than Decaying Tree attacked the Asaki name. Young Master is right, I won't keep my asparagus name.

In the name of reinforcements, they serve soldiers and attack the asparagus name. Originally, Dada sent a messenger to Decaying Wood. Decaying trees didn't react badly either. Satake and Ashi-name also had to be tied together because their surroundings were combined with Satake. In isolation, we can say that Dada could have perished by attacking from all around us. The rest depends on how you work on the battlefield. We can leave the house even if the territory is cut off somewhat.

"Father didn't blame me for bruising my opinion. It was said that it should be considered as one means. It's just that Kasai, Osaki, at the top,... I don't know how Dada would move if she turned around. I wish you would sleep back with me. Otherwise I can attack both of them. I'm showing you that."

……

"Besides, Dada, the top, Osaki, Kashi. It is also thought that it will not stick in these four houses until winter. If it snows, Decaying Wood leaves the soldiers. Afterwards, I wish to submit to the decaying tree."

"... you think it's better after I show you the power?

The young hall was nodded.

"Satake, I hear you had an idea for stomping through the alliance with Ashime. Satake, Ashime will perish. But it would be nice if you could buy me some time, that's what I thought. Convince the best, Osaki and Kashi to surrender during the winter months. If they also destroy Satake and Ashime, their intentions will be stretched out. And if Arashi and Satake are destroyed, Okinawa's flag will be Dada. I wonder if we can reconcile decaying trees under favourable conditions. The ministers agree with that."

Well, can you justify that being surrounded there forced you to give it to me? And at the top, if you say you convinced Osaki, Kashi to surrender...

"Shall we keep it until then? It's not Ashime, it's not Satake, Dada."

Keep it. The Young Hall also has a sinking look. If Asahi and Satake are destroyed, Dada will receive more than 100,000 troops. Seems like you're thinking of buying time, but it's not easy. Mostly decaying trees are not trying to leave a big big big name behind. All that's left so far is Maori and Uesugi. Dada, at the top, will you leave Osaki and Kashi as they are? Even if we manage to outrun it this year, winter doesn't last forever. What happens if surrender is unacceptable? Dada, the top, Osaki and Kasai will all perish if spring comes and it becomes a re-expedition. Life expectancy has only increased by a year.

Okinawa is far away, I have to say sweet if you think you have eye spills. Decaying trees are also keen to deal with shrimp fields. You should also see Okinawa as having a strong interest. Dada, Uchi, Osaki, and Kasai should appear in the eyes of the other country. If you don't get around too well, you'll be like Ryuji Temple and Otomo.

"I think we should go back to sleep now. It's too late for either Satake or Ashime to perish."

……

"I will take refuge in my lord."

“Xiao Shiro!" raised the Young Hall.

"Not to say to keep the house. I gave it to Satake, Ashi-name. You take the blame for that. And once again, the Young Hall vows to submit to the Decaying Woods as the Dada family owner."

The young hall's face is tense.

"Do you want me to rebel? There's going to be a riot in your house. The Dada family will perish before they fight."

"The Dada family will perish if we keep crushing the time for no reason. Shall we not?

The young lord's face was distorted into bitterness.

"... no doubt, but..."

"I understand. I do not recommend conspiracy. Someone will meet the other country. And I will negotiate for you to acknowledge the Dade family's subordination."

"... it's not gonna be easy."

"I understand. Somewhat could shred the territory. But let us not perish."

The young hall shook his head to the side.

"There is also one, but if the asparagus name finds it, there is no life for him. Me, too. It's called conspiracy to rebel. Abandoned, the stomach is inevitable"

"It is a certain arbitrariness. It's none of your business."

Another young hall shook his head beside him.

"You think that'll work? Kojiro is here."

……

One of the inner concerns of the Dada family is Master Kojiro. The position of the Young Hall cannot be stabilized at this time because of the fact that you are there. His mother also neglects the young hall and adores Kojiro. True, if that other person is in the Asparagus family... Doesn't work......

"Besides, Kojiro's position is too weak at his discretion. Decaying trees are no match for that one.... I'll write you a letter, take it"

"Young Hall!"

"I don't want to leave any regrets if I do. Kojiro will negotiate on my behalf. Whatever the consequences, I'll take the blame. Do it right."

"... Ha"

Once the negotiations have been wrapped up, the Dada family will take the lead. The heavens changed from ankles to decaying trees. The Dada family should also change. And the Dade family's first job will be to attack the best. You must be half frenzied and blame the Young Hall. Or maybe I'll use Kojiro as a trail. But if you crush the top, your influence will be reduced. We also have to do it to make the Dada family the right shape......

Trillion Eight Years (1588) Mid-June Santiago de Bella, Governor-General's Office, Luzon Island, Italian Territory

"Your Eminence, Father van Corbo, I'm here."

"Thank you, Father."

Father Cobo bowed his head slightly as he labored.

"A letter has been received from Gaspar Coelio, quasi-regional director of the Jesuit Japan branch"

"On your left."

The priest has an ambiguous look. Father Cobo belongs to the Dominican congregation. Even though it is the same Catholic, the Jesuits are of Portuguese descent. It is not an unconditional and welcoming opponent for Father Cobo, who belongs to the Dominican congregation of Italian descent.

"Be read but be good"

"May I? Where's Preacher Cedeño?

"I don't mind. I want Father Cobo's opinion."

The priest tided his face. Did you think I was trusted? But Preacher Cedeño is a Jesuit man. I know his answer. No need to ask.

The priest approached the executive desk. When I gave him the script, the priest read with a serious look. The red tide gradually disappears. When I finished reading it, I gave him a look to think about.

"Doesn't look too good..."

"Seems so. Japan's leader, the country, is showing a tough attitude towards Catholicism"

The priest gave a sinister look to my words. The priest returned the letter here.

"The Portuguese have gone a little too far in the slave trade."

"Not at all. I hear His Majesty Sebastian I's anxiety has been compromised."

Father Cobo nodded. Sebastian I, the king of Portugal, not sure if he is smart or stupid. Died without marrying the Queen and leaving a heir. Eventually, it led to the annexation of Portugal by Ispania.

It was nothing but foolishness, but the king was concerned that the conversion of the Portuguese to the Catholic Church would be adversely affected because the Japanese slave trade had grown into something massive. And more than fifteen years ago, he ordered the suspension of the Japanese slave trade. Perhaps it was not necessarily foolish to think that the fear had taken centre stage. The country takes a heavy look at the slave trade.

"The letter states that you want military assistance from Spain?

"It is written that he will also seek assistance from Goa in India"

The priest gave me a look that didn't seem interesting.

"Considering the distance, here it is."

"Right."

North from the Philippines, Ryukyu, and Japan. Much closer than in India.

"What can you do?

The priest sees this way. The chief of the Quasi-Precinct of Coelio has asked me to send 300 soldiers, and a few military ships. Coupled with the three hundred ships and the Christian followers of Japan, we can gain a strong base in Kitakyushu. He said he would be able to make the other country understand the power of Catholicism. And as it stands, it also says that Catholic preaching in Japan ends in failure. According to the writ, Kyushu has more than 30,000 followers. I guess there are more than 20,000 of them, even with some exaggeration.

"It's a difficult place. It is already stormy season. If it is to be sent, it will be sent immediately or after November. The letter says now that the country is on an expedition is the best time, but if we send it now, this Philippines will be weak. It's possible to call in soldiers from Nova Ispania, but we have to wait a year."

"Sure. … but the Galeon ship will be heading to Acapulco soon"

"Well, we'll have to decide by then."

Attack Ming. That is what Portugal, Ispania and Catholicism want. Most of all, Portugal and Ispania will not cooperate in the conquest of Ming. Rather hostile. The conquest of the Ming Nation has been uttered many times before in Ispania. If there were about 10,000 Istani soldiers, 5,000 Japanese soldiers, and 10 Galeon ships, it would be possible to conquer Mingguo. Our military power in Ispania is the strongest in the world. Hernan Cortes destroyed Asteca in just six hundred, and Francisco Pizarro destroyed Inca in two hundred. This Philippines also conquered with less than a thousand soldiers. Though Ming is vast, he has nothing to fear.

It was the presence of Japanese soldiers that has been valued in the plans for the conquest of Akehikuni. The Jesuits have reported that they have been struggling for many years and can be used as our aides, if they are used, to conquer the Ming more easily. We need Japanese soldiers who will remain as we wish to do so. The role of the Jesuits was to gather their forces. That was possible about three years ago. He said he could give me 40,000. But it's breaking down.... I can't leave you...

I'm sending soldiers. There's no one else.

Father Cobo nodded.

"I think that would be a good idea. Preacher Cedeño will be delighted."

"Right."

“Your Eminence," the priest said.

"With this in mind, Japan and Ming should assume ownership of Ispania."

……

"Portugal cannot count on its military power since the Battle of Arcasel Kibir. At present, it is impossible to conquer Japan and Ming by Portugal."

Exactly. The battle of Arcasel Kibeel, in that battle, Portugal suffered a great loss of about eight thousand war dead and fifteen thousand prisoners. More importantly, Sebastian I, king of Portugal, died in battle. As a result, the Avis dynasty was cut off and His Majesty King Felipe II of Ispania assumed concurrent responsibilities as King of Portugal. Portugal has not been able to recover from the damage.

"We also know about the Jesuits. Japan and Ming have possession in Portugal, and Ispania says not to lay a hand on us, but the military power rests on us. Tsujitsu fits."

It's a disgruntled tone. I have a rather uninteresting feeling about the Jesuits.

"Right."

Father Cobo smiled happily when I agreed.

"In the Saragosa Convention, Japan is on its frontiers. The Jesuits say that Japan has a right of possession in Portugal, but technically, it also has a right of possession in Ispania. We should get the Jesuits to recognize that in this case."

And the Dominican and Franciscan Societies preach in Japan as spirits of Ispania. I can't say it's just a power fight. The Jesuits are distrustful of their country because of the slave trade. Given that, it is a reasonable decision that the Dominican and Franciscan congregations should be on the table here.

"Can we occupy Japan?

The priest flashed his face.

"I don't know that. But if the eyes of the other country can be turned to us and not to us, occupation will be impossible, but cooperation will be possible."

"Right."

This means that it is possible to conquer Mingguo. That's what matters. To do so, we need to show our strength first.

"In some cases, it will be necessary to say that the Jesuits tricked us into leaving."

It was a whispering voice. I looked at the priest's face in surprise. My eyes are tight. It's not a good eye for a priest.

"Is it the Jesuits that are bad? … is the goal of Jesuit exclusion, thereby gaining the trust of the other country?"

"Yes."

The priest nodded contentedly. It was painful to hide my disgust.
