Late July (1588), Naganuma Castle, Naganuma Village, Iwase County, Lu Ao

"It's where someone would have to go to Suga River Castle if they were supposed to. I'm sorry I called you up."

Apologizing, His Royal Highness Tai shouted “ho ho ho ho ho ho”.

"I don't care. I'll be honest with you. Whenever I see a waterfowl in a moat, I want to hunt an eagle, and when everyone's fighting, it's just an eagle hunt, but... it's a problem."

I accidentally laughed too. His Royal Highness laughs too. Really, I'm in trouble.

"I hear Okinawa has a good eagle. Once the heavens are united, it will be easier than ever."

"That's what I tell you. No, I'd love to enjoy a hawk hunt on this land anyway. Kanto and Echina-kun also conducted eagle hunting, but it was much more fun with plenty of prey than it did in Kyo. I'm interested in what Okinawa prey looks like."

I'm making my eyes shine. It's more and more troublesome.

Right, after the unification of the heavens, it might be a good idea to give His Highness a territory in Okinawa. You've been helping me catch the world all along. Two thousand stones in Okinawa, and a place for eagle hunting nearby. Let's say that's the direct jurisdiction of the Decaying Wood family. That way you'll enjoy hawk hunting from spring to summer and fall. Talking about it, His Highness laughed like a child and rejoiced. It's really troublesome.

"Good, that's good.... By the way, why did you call me? Did you see it as important?

I keep laughing and asking, you're powerful, boulders are the founding fathers of the court.

"Looks like Ispania of Lu Song is coming to Kyushu. Perhaps there will be a battle by now."

His Royal Highness said, "Oh, my God!"

"Why? I haven't heard of any bad relations with Ispania, etc.?

"It's caused by congenital leagues. I blamed both of them for what they did in Kyushu, but they didn't seem to like it. The Accompanying Leagues were scared that preaching would not work as well as this. And I asked Ispania of Lu Song to save me. If you fought with the followers of Kyushu, you thought you could pull some kind of concession out of Kyushu."

His Highness roared.

"Do you think the Accompanying Leagues instigated Ispania?"

"I told you to stay out of politics, but you don't seem to understand."

His Highness roared again.

"... root cutting?

Your Highness is staring at me. I put my strength into the bottom of my belly.

"Murderers, such as those who are at the mercy of the South Barbarians, and mornings enemies alike, will not be forgiven if they become worms in lions."

Admitting it in the dark, His Highness exhaled heavily.

"I tell you what I have to do."

Yes, this has to be done. It's not like the turmoil in Shimahara in history.

That was a glimpse from bad government. There was a problem with the ruler. So the shogun side has advised me to surrender because I will save my life a few times. But this is different. The Jesuit priests would say it was for Christianity. Freedom of worship should be guaranteed in future generations. I may be accused of stepping on it. But the only truth is the invasion of Japan by foreign forces. Even from a security point of view, those people must be eliminated. Establish a unified nation, Japan, and establish an identity for the Japanese as a country called Japan. That is the foundation of modern Japan. You shouldn't hesitate.

If you think about it, there may have been a part about the fact that the subordination of Mr. Tsuma to Korea would not have lived without subordination, as well as a weak sense of belonging to Japan. Of course, there was a reality that Japan could not eat it alone. I didn't develop a sense of belonging because I couldn't eat it...... It is still necessary to enrich the country after the unification of the heavens and the earth. We need to realize that we can eat, that we can be rich, and that it is because the heavens are united and peaceful.

"... is that good? Stay here."

"I don't mind. As a precaution, the Kyushu did not call for an attack on Okinawa. We also leave the Maori as a suppression. Besides, Shishiro, the right guard has issued a warning to the Nine Ghosts."

"I hope so..."

His Highness is roaring. War with the exotic, I guess it's a shock when it actually happens, even if you think it's possible.

"Well, the Nine Ghosts were married to their adopted daughter. Wasn't that Maori's chief minister's daughter?

You're right, you know it well.

His Royal Highness was leaked a bitter laugh.

I don't have a clue.

I was deluded by laughing. The fact that the Nine Ghosts have not seen Zhou is disconnected. I didn't plan everything.

"It's Ryukyu..."

"Hmm, what is it?

"I won't let the hostages out. We stopped it knowing what was happening in Ispania."

……

Your Highness is staring at me.

"After the reunification of the heavens, let's attack Ryukyu"

"Do you blame me?"

"No, I'll crush it"

"... you mean you can't trust me"

"Yes."

Sin. His Royal Highness is thinking. Is that the opposite?

"You can't ignore Ryukyu's trends if you try to attack Lu Song's Ispania. It's dangerous to put the uncertain behind you."

"... that's what I tell you"

"And..."

His Highness turned his gaze to me. I wonder if there's anything else. I told him about the Mexican silver. The world is closely connected. What happens if we cut that flow...... The country that was turned down can be doomed. That could happen with clarity.

His Highness sighed.

"No way, that's what happened..."

"Ming's government is supported by silver carried by Ispania. If the silver is interrupted, of course, Ming will suffer. In that case, Ming must hope that Ispania returns to Lu Song. If Ispania attacks Lu Song, order Ryukyu, Korea, to slap Japan."

"That's what I tell you."

"Waiting for more enemies is foolish."

His Royal Highness nodded “um”.

"Ming, are you going to fight Korea too..."

His Highness threw up emotionally. It was about 300 years ago because Japan fought China the nearest time and was an ex-core. I know it's hard to believe, but when Japan and Ming fight, Ming will impose heavier taxes on Japan because of the cost of war. How far can a wise man withstand it... The difficulties will be tougher than the historical facts.

I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I'd like to welcome you back to Kyo.

"Hospital, tell the Emperor what's going on, so don't tell him."

"There's also that. It's no match for the thought that this basal net likes to fight. You have to understand that you have to protect this book."

"That's what I tell you."

And if the Istanians attack, the Dukes will be confused.

I see. Do you want me to calm everyone down?

"Ha, only His Highness can do that"

His Royal Highness nodded when he said "OK”.

"When this happens, we need to unify the heavens and the earth."

"Yes."

"What if I whip a horse for a long time?"

"Ha."

"Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"

"Yes, not less"

His Highness stopped laughing.

"Will Ming perish?

"Probably. Let's see clearly within five years. I think we're going to see in what way we're going to perish within a decade."

His Royal Highness nodded loudly.

"You can see it with these eyes, or you'll still die"

Absolutely. I didn't know I was going to create an incentive to destroy Ming. I think it's a long life.

Naganuma Castle, Naganuma Village, Iwase County, Luoguo, early August (1588)

"It's in Itsujiro Itsujiro."

"Um, it's the baselines. There's two of you, I know Kojiro, but who's one now? It's a good idea."

"Dada Fujigoro Naruto, I have one of my cousins."

"I see, right"

The country in the upper seat looked at the three of us with interest. In the great hall of Naganuma Castle, the room was full of heavy ministers of decaying trees. I and Fujigoro held back before the Young Hall.

"Looks like you had a lot of trouble getting here."

"Ha."

I struggled. The number of companions with about thirty was reduced to half. Some were taken after by Dada, and others by Asahi. Those who survive are waiting for our tail in the room.

"Well, the fact that he's here means that Dr. Sakayo refused to hide, right?

"Ha."

"Can't you hide the whole house?"

I saw the face of the other country seriously by accident. I know what Dada's inside... The young hall will be surprised, too.

Didn't you, Fujiro?

"No, you're right"

"My parents and my children talk, and Dr. Sakayo leads the unacceptable, and he leads the unacceptable, and he serves me. Is that what this is about?

"I will serve you, Mr. Itsujiro Daito and Mr. Aikoku."

They stared at each other.

"I say some of the water floats when you throw yourself away... is that better? You carried a heavy load, Fujiro."

……

"Let's be good. I hereby acknowledge the subordination of Mr. Itojiro."

"Thank you Happiness"

Relieved. In some cases, it was unacceptable that it was just a benefit. Now we have managed to preserve Dada's site.

"The name of the asparagus will come out soon. Daiki's been hunting down Satake a lot. As it is, I have to deal with both Daiki and I, who destroyed Satake. He wants to fight me before he does."

"Are you left-handed?"

"After crushing the asparagus name, we put the soldiers back and poke them behind Sabaki. He will crush Satake and join the army of Oki on his way to Dade territory. That's where the showdown is."

"In awe, I want to urge my father to surrender once and for all now. Both Dada people understand their helplessness after Ashikana perishes and Satake perishes. I beg your pardon."

The young lord bowed his head and prayed. Me and Lord Fujigoro also bow their heads.

I'm afraid I can't admit it.

"Dear Aikoku!

"Keep it down!

"Lord Dada!

The Young Hall was reprimanded by the heavy ministers for trying to move forward. Perhaps the young hall has been made to repent.

"Fujiro, do you know what's going on in Kyushu right now?

"Ha? Is it in Kyushu?

When the Young Hall inquired, the Patriot nodded. Kyushu?

"Don't know, Lu Song's Ispania has attacked Kyushu"

Ispania? I accidentally met Lord Fujigoro in the face. There's a surprise, the young hall must be surprised too.

"Is it South Barbarian when it's called Ispania?

"Yes."

"Why is Nanban in Japan?"

"The Accompanying Leagues asked Ispania for reinforcements. I hit both the Emperor Leagues so hard, they're unhappy."

……

Ispania attacked Kyushu, how do I receive this...... The Okinawa attack......

"Well, I've got this one ready. It's not a big deal. All Nanban ships sank or nabbed. Nine ghosts and Horiuchi will work well."

Nine ghosts, Horiuchi? Those who have served as the Navy of Decaying Wood. The fact that you were prepared meant that you were planning to fight against Ispania.

"The problem is land. In addition to the followers of Chechnya, the wanderers joined them. In Kyushu, Shimazu, Ryuji Temple, Otomo and I crushed large places or shredded territories. Looks like the cannibals tried to fly a flag."

My country gave me a cold grin.

"Looks like you've got about 20,000. But it is the people of UAE. I lost the first battle. Scatter. Well, the believers still tried to resist, but they cut it to pieces. They killed about 5,000 people."

"... five thousand"

"You know what, Fujiro"

"Allegedly?

The other country was smiled at.

"It doesn't look like it, Fujiro. I thought I'd run out a little bit now."

"... sorry"

"This is not the end of the fight against Ispania. This is the beginning. This is not the kind of time we are fighting in the country anymore. We must prepare the country of Japan in one piece. I don't have time to look back every time I fight outside and worry that Okinawa won't turn away."

……

The grin is gone. That's a tough look.

"Do you understand? Japan cannot be defended by a heavenly man as weak as a foothold. If you can't recognize me as a heavenly man, and you can't accept my rule, you have to crush me. To protect this Japan. That's my job in keeping the great government under heaven. I won't let the Nanbans take this country at will."

……

Tough, but I guess it's right. If I were in that position, I'd say the same thing. The look on the face of the other country loosened.

"Daitojiro, it was hard work. You'll be tired, back off and rest but good"

"Ha."

The Young Hall did not plead. Deeply bowing his head, me and Lord Fujigoro imitated it. When I returned to the room I was given, everyone came together.

"How was it?

The Haunted Garden Left Guard Hall asked.

"I have been granted permission to serve my country."

When Lord Fujigoro answered, “Good” was raised from the other side.

"Thank you, Young Hall."

The left-handed palace spoke to the young palace, but the young palace has a sinister look.

"... Left Guard, stop calling me the Young Hall"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Call me lord from now on. The head of the Dada family is not my father, no, Dr. Sasakyo. This is me. Everybody's good with the left."

I bowed my head and was awed. Everyone does the same. Young Hall, no, my lord trumpeted my father, the men in charge of Dr. Sasakyo. It was understood that it was no longer time for the Lord himself to contend in the country. We must obey it, too.
