When the surface of the Akami Naokai shakes

Mid-September (1588) Kurokawa Castle Uesugi, Kurokawa Township, Tsu County, Lu Okinawa

"His Royal Highness Tai was also here..."

I heard you returned to the capital.

When I answered, the other country raised its voice.

"You're deaf. The boulder is the Uesugi family, I guess. Good to know."

The other country raised its voice and laughed. My cheeks were hot, I was praised but strangely embarrassed.

"Then you'll know about Ispania."

"Yes, we know that you attacked Kyushu."

The Patriot was nodded.

"If the Nanbans attacked, the princes of Kyo could make a scene. No, better than indifference, but I have trouble being noisy. So I returned to Your Highness."

I see, is His Highness Tai Shi a heavy stone to the princes of Kyo?

"Are you surprised about Ispania?

"Ha."

To be honest, I was surprised. I heard the relationship with Nanban was getting worse, but I didn't think so. When I heard the report from Fu Yu, I thought it might be a mistake, so I asked back.

"Both missionaries in Nanban and Kyushu are eating into Otomo, Omura, and Arima, and they are doing something quite casual. I was in a rather painful position because of the fall of Otomo and his men on the Kyushu expedition last year. Seems like you were unhappy with that, pulling in Istanbul soldiers from Luzon, trying to reinforce our position, laughing."

……

I'm smiling coldly.

The soldiers of Ispania, and the Christians who were in tune with it, were instantly crushed. No Kyushu soldiers have been mobilized to control Okinawa. Apparently, the other country assumed their movements. That's how Yoshi sees it.

"Boys seem to be greedy everywhere."

I laughed from the other side when the other country was sarcastic.

"Once Okinawa is settled, we will send troops to Ryukyu next."

"To Ryukyu"

When I inquired in surprise, the country nodded. And Ming and Ispania told me that it was closely intertwined in silver. The fact that the Emperor of Ming uses silver like hot water in the dark, and that if the silver of Ispania is no longer in the light, he will be neglected and distressed... I couldn't even gavel at the size of the story.

"Fortunately, Ryukyu gave me the pretext to send troops, so I can easily attack and crush Ryukyu."

……

"After occupying Ryukyu, we attack Lu Song. And expel Ispania from Lu Song. If we got there, we'd have said we'd be safe first."

……

"Surprised?

"Ha, some"

When I answered, the other country said, "I can't help it."

"The unification of the heavens and the earth gradually appeared. When there's no more fighting from the country, the next thing you know, you fight outside the ocean. I'm sick of it. But you can't leave Ispania alone."

The other country was exhaled one breath. The eyes of the other country are also going outside the country. I thought it was important to look outside of Japan, not just inside Japan, to rule under the heavens.

"You must be tired."

A miserable smile was leaked by the country.

"Are you old? I've been working for everyone lately."

"Thank you for your disrespect."

When he apologized in a hurry, the other country raised its voice and laughed.

"I realized that it was already forty. From now on, it will be a downhill in my life. You won't be able to do what you did when you were young."

"You're still young."

It's not a compliment, it doesn't look forty and looks healthy. You'll still be able to live long. The ministers are also nodding.

"It's a pleasure to say. Ten more years, if you say greed, I want to live fifteen years. I think that by then we will have a political mechanism in place, and we will be cleaning things up outside the ocean. I'll be just a grandfather, and I'll be able to live my days drinking tea."

I saw the country by accident. Live your days drinking tea?

"It's a dream."

It made me laugh. Everyone laughed. It must be a dream indeed. It's a fun dream.

"The Ryukyu march will ask the Uesugi family to pay attention to Kanto and Okinawa."

"Can you cross the sea yourself?"

He shook his head sideways.

"We also need to get the system of government in place. Crossing the sea will be difficult. I want you to stay behind me in Kanto and Okinawa so I don't make a scene."

"Ha, I'll do my best"

The other country nodded satisfactorily. When there is a commotion in Kanto and Okinawa, the Uesugi family will suppress it.

"By the way, did you know about the South, Oura, Kodo, and Ando?

"Ha, I heard you arrived in Kashiwasaki three days ago."

The Patriot was nodded.

"I'm coming here already. Shall we wait for their arrival?"

"Ha."

Oh, boy, did you say that before I said it here? It's the other country that's more deaf. This is why I can't be alarmed.

Mid-September (1588) Kurokawa Castle, Kurokawa Township, Tsu County, Lu Olympics

"The first thing that comes to your attention, it's in the government of Kobe Left."

There was a big man in front of me. Is this General Kobe's council? He would be close to six feet tall. He's a big man and a tough guy with sharp eyes, but the color is white. Besides, white objects also stand out in the hair. He must have been over fifty years old. Yeah, your nickname is Shilokuma, isn't it?

"You've come well, General Left. I've always wanted to see you."

"Gonna be awed"

I broke my face gladly. I'm not lying, I really thought so. And you make a good smile.

"Isn't the sea rough?

"Not so much"

"That would be nice...... but it would have been tough"

"We managed to get there."

General Left also has territory in northern Iwate Prefecture in Okinawa. I arrived here by boat until after, and then by road. But the hostile Mr. South has forces all the way to the Lower North Peninsula. It wouldn't have been easy to come here.

"You always gave me sulfur."

"Ha, I heard that your country will be using a large number of artillery cannons."

"Thank you for using it. Thank you."

Again, well, you did enough research on me before you prepared a gift. I thought he was a man who couldn't imagine it from the outside, but could be quite a delicate concern.

"Thank you for your generous return. I am terrified."

Soap and dried shiitake mushrooms, I'm sure.

"Ha, just on New Year's Eve, a messenger came back and let me use dried shiitake mushrooms for my New Year's celebration seat."

"That was good. I was worried I'd given you something that wasn't jammed. But I thought it would be difficult for the messenger to hold the extra heavy stuff."

"Thank you for your concern."

There is no cloudiness in the look on General Left's face. I guess there is no dissatisfaction under decaying trees. I'm over fifty years old, I guess it was because I was treated as a southern minister who flipped the rebel flag on Hideyoshi in historical fact. Just pay attention to the area and you'll be fine.

Admiral Left offered to submit and I granted him relief. The receipt is not that big because it is in the villages of Kobe and Nido. It's about 10,000 to 20,000 stones. In historical fact, I remember caged in five thousand soldiers, but if it were true, most of them would have been soldiers from outside. This is awesome because you tried to fight Hideyoshi.

At the end of the soothing talks, General Left took his seat as one of my ministers.

"I hope to pay my respects to Lord Yashiro Oura and the Great Hall."

I nodded at the words of Yuasaro Matsuura, my surname. Don't go through this guy's voice fat and good. It would be useful on the battlefield. When I was thinking about it, a man came before me. I got a twitch from around me.

"It is found in Yashiro Oura Exchange, which first caught your eye. My sincere apologies for the delay. We hope you will join us in the corner of your army."

"Good to see you, Yashiro Oura."

"Ha."

Yashiro bowed his head.

Yashiro Oura, later Tsugaru Exchange. Formerly a minister of the Southern family, he became independent multiplied by the confusion of Mr. Southern. In short, it's on the bottom. But I'm not a man without faith. This man is quite instrumental. Even in Tokugawa's time, thanks to Hideyoshi for treating him as an independent daimyo, he worshipped Hideyoshi in the castle. Tsugaru also shows pro-Irishida movement in Sekigahara. He's still named Oura's surname, but any day he'll say he wants to name Tsugaru. Do you want me to give you a name on this occasion?

Everybody's not bothering because this guy woke up down. It's a beard. It stores amazing mustaches from the beard to the jaw. It's a beard like Sekiba of the Three Kingdoms.

"You have a great mustache."

"Gonna be awed"

Yashiro is smiling. I guess he's also a proud mustache.

"I heard you're in charge of Heiga, Nasal and Rural Counties"

"Ha, I hope you acknowledge the relief of your receipt"

"It would be good, admit possession of Heiga County, Nasal County and Rural County"

"Ha, thank goodness happiness. I will serve you diligently."

"The Tsugaru Peninsula belongs to him. After this, it is advisable to change the surname of Oura to Tsugaru. It is the birth of Yashiro Tsugaru. Let's all celebrate."

“Congratulations” came from the other side. It was Kudo Left Warden who was big at the time.

"... Oh, thank you. I will never forget this grace."

Yashiro bowed his head deeply. My voice was trembling, so maybe my chest was clogged. Yashiro steps back in front of me and joins the line of ministers. The two of them are whispering as they sit next to General Left. They're not unfriendly. Yuansanro said, "Nobunaga Nankuro wishes to worship you”. A man came in when he said, "Go through here." He'll be a little older than me. But he is younger than General Kobe. He was a rude man with a look on his face.

"There is Nan Kyuro Shin immediately. I've come to serve my country."

"Um, thank you. It would have been hard to get here."

"Ha."

"The territories ruled by the south were Bran County, Shui County, Kahor County, Kuchi County, Iwate County, and Purple Wave County."

"I say it in awe. Hiraga, Rhinowa and rural counties are also located in the southern dominions."

I got a blur. That's right. Because those three counties have just admitted that they are Tsugaru territory.

"The three counties will be under the control of Yashiro Tsugaru."

My face became red when I taught that Nankuro gave Tsugaru his last name because he gave him a surprise look. Looks angry.

"The man was a minister in the south, but he also unjustly seized him. I would like you to recognize the three counties of Hiraga, Rhinohea and Rural as Southern Territories at your discretion."

Kyuro lay flat. Tsugaru Yashiro's face is tense. Well, yeah, the collateral is a fact.

"Arrest or Yashiro is a minister of the Southern family"

"It's on your left."

"I mean, it's downstairs, right?

"Ha."

"It may be unusual in Okinawa, but it's not unusual up there to the left. Look at me, you've taken my foothold."

……

Well, I was willing to answer earlier, but I was silent.

"Nankuro, Shimokami is something that can easily be crushed if the opponent has the strength. That's all the power I had to succeed."

"Do you think you'll admit it?

"I'm telling you to look at reality. It is Tsugaru Yashiro who is ruling those three counties even if he claims that they are more southern territory: Hiraga, Nasal and Rural Counties. And Yashiro doesn't recognize your Lord as his master."

Yashiro has a relieved look and Kyuro has a regrettable look on his face. General Left said Zamamiro. That's the look on his face.

"Disgruntled? But can you tell me there's nothing wrong with the south? You can't succeed if your opponent isn't weak."

……

"Why did Harukai Nanyasaro die?

Kyuro's face faded blue. Alas, maybe this is the guy who killed Hiroshiro Nan?

Earlier generations, the Southern head of the family was a person called the Southern Daiichi Tsingzheng, but he greatly expanded the forces of the Southern family by waging martial arts in the neighborhood. That was enough to be said of the Southern Territories until the circle of the Three Moons. The meaning seems to be that entering southern territory around the time of the third moon will take days to pass through the territory until the full moon. Well, I guess that means you'll be walking in the southern realm for at least ten days.

He was as good as that, but he also had weaknesses. It was a mistake to succeed him. For this reason, he received his adopted son from among the clan, and married his daughter and made him his successor. This successor is Nobunaga Kyuro, who is now in front of me. Daikyo Tsingzheng had another daughter, but this daughter was married to the younger brother of General Kobe. This would be a strengthening of alliance relations. The Southern family would have continued to develop with competent successors and dependable allies if it had remained so. However, after I received my adopted son, I was able to have a real child in Daiichi Tsingzheng. That's Hikozaburo Haruhei. At this time, Daikyo Harumi had already exceeded fifty. This will disrupt the Southern family.

She made money in her late years. That must have been so cute, Daikyo Harumi wanted to give up his trail to Hiroshiro Harumi. I would have had the sentiment that it was natural for my child to inherit because I had made the Southern family bigger. You would have liked to dissolve your adoptive relationship with Nobunaga Kowloon, your adopted son, but it will take more than ten years for Haruhei Hikozaburo to serve, and at least fifteen years for him to be able to stand on his own as the master. If so, Dr. Daikyo Harumi must live to near seventy. Many of the ministers opposed the dissolution of the adoptive relationship. Naturally, Daikyo Harumi neglected Nobunaga Kyuro. He even tried to kill me. Nobunaga Kyuro had to flee by resigning his adopted son's throne.

Daikyo Harumi would have been delighted to have lost his depressed adopted son. The successor became Haruki Hikozaburo, my real son. And when Harujutsu Hikozaburo was thirteen years old, Haruju, the great caterer, died. Hikozaburo Harukai became the master, but was killed immediately. They say he was killed on his way home from finishing his father's funeral.

I don't know who did this, Nobunaga Kowloon, who aimed for the Southern homeowner's seat, or General Tsugatsu, who wanted his brother to succeed the Southern homemaker, or Yashiro Tsugatsu, who wanted the Southern house to be disrupted... There is also a line called the work of the ministers that I thought would not be relied upon by Hirosakuro Haruki. Few human beings thought it would be good for Hirosaki to die.

"It's not something. I have nothing to do with it. He killed Hikozaburo in his place, or Yashiro Oura."

"Say what! It would be your Lord who killed Hikozaburo! You killed Hikozaburo and took the governor!

"Admiral Left is right. Don't rub your sins on us!

Minami Kyuro, Kobe Left Warden, and Tsugaru Yashiro stared at each other.

"Stop it, it doesn't matter who killed Hiroshiro. I'm not interested."

……

"Higashizaburo was murdered because Higashizaburo had no power to survive this turmoil. Eat what you can, and do not hesitate to eat, that is the law of the world. Those who have no power to survive will have to be eaten. Hikozaburo was eaten."

……

The three of them look fantastic. These guys have lived a turmoil, too. You know what I'm saying.

"Nankuro, maybe it wasn't him who killed Higashizaburo. But he became the head of the Southern family. I ate the southern house. It would mean that he followed the code of turmoil. The same goes for Yashiro Tsukaki. I just ate something I could eat. Don't tell me you can't get stuck with a collateral."

……

He seemed dissatisfied but did not argue.

"The turmoil will end once the Okinawa peace is over. I will not tolerate a seizure or anything like that from now on. And remember that."

"Ha."

"We acknowledge the possession of Southern Kyuro, Bran County, Shui County, Kahor County, Kuchi County, Iwate County, and Purple Wave County. However, the villages of Kudo and Nido are excluded in Brando County. Two of them are under the command of General Kobe."

"Ha."

Nankuro bowed his head. After that, it won't be easy to settle territory.
