40 Episode 39: The End and Lin Xiuzheng

side/Kuyuan Ichima

"Whoa! Whoa, whoa!

"Out of the way. Treat"

The battle over Lintong Equipment is over, but it's hard to get from here.

I have advanced to Nobunaga to continue along the route that Lin Tongjie and the others have advanced, coming to the village that was attacked by them.

I guess I assumed this would happen too. Ketty and Pamela were accompanied by two doctors, so they are treating the injured. And then there's the end of the burned house.

"Put out the fire! And for minor injuries, wash the wound with water and make it wait."

In the village along the way there were also bodies of soldiers who followed Lin Tongjie, but more than that there were injured and slaughtered inhabitants.

I can do about first aid too, so I take care of people who are slightly injured. Nobunaga commands the soldiers to quench the fire and help Ketty and the others.

Especially in this village, there was a seriously wounded woman slashed with a knife after being raped, and Ketty started treating the person first.

Do the villagers think everyone can't help, they see a child crying in mournful ways.

"Ketty. Can you help me?

"It's okay. The steeple is off. I want to treat it indoors because I suture the wound"

"Then use my house."

Nobunaga also looked at the condition with an indescribable look, but when Ketty said it was okay, Nobunaga and his surroundings turned to a look of surprise.

Well, it's not common in Japan in this era to suture wounds.

That's right. Isn't it a situation where Ketty can choose the means, like injecting anesthesia or something? People around watch Ketty sew her wound like a cloth with an incredible look on her face.

"It's over. Don't move tonight. I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning."

"All right. We're going next."

As it were, we proceeded to the village under Lintong Gear while being treated in the village along the way.

"This guy's a hickey."

I don't know whose word it is, but the worst condition in the village was the possession of Lintong Gear.

All the buildings called buildings were burning down, and the escaped villagers were returning, but they are stunned and depressed.

Is the village chief there?

"Yes, it's me."

"Are there any injured people?

"Yes. No one has been injured. That's all I was fortunate to hear."

"All right. Those people go straight to Naguno Castle. You won't even be able to eat this."

A few fine houses like Lintong's mansion are even burning down in a small temple in the village.

The season is late autumn and the night is cold, and that fool seems to have burned everything he can't take to the few foods of the villagers and rice to plant next year.

After a little thought about what to do, Nobunaga summarily decided to let them all go to Nagorno and put Katsuzaburo on them to let them go to Nagorno.

I think it's an English break. They don't have anything to eat here, or anything more than night dew.

Locally within the dominated area of the Oda Bullet Zhongzhong family, it's not a good place to treat lightly.

We have to rebuild the house before winter.

"Well, if there's anything open, let's hear it."

The next day, Ketty and Pamela were surrounded by numerous escorts and went to see the people they treated yesterday.

In that, I have been summoned by Shin-soo to attend the reputation of summoning Lin Soo-jung.

I guess it's just a pretty big guy to be here this day. Just people who don't even know their faces.

Seating order is the most endless. Let's be adult so that we don't stand out.

The defendant, Lin Xiuzheng, was seated in the center, and it seems that the person with Xinxiu's lowest surname would explain the flow of the series of events and make Lin Xiuzheng open his name.

"I'm so sorry about your stupid brother this time. There is no opening of the petition as a"

"Shingoro. Nothing can be done. Why are you stopping me?

"I'm not your brother who says and stops. But you can't have a brother who divided his blood as a brother."

Su-jung Lin. In historical fact, as a civilian until late in life, you should have supported Nobunaga. I guess it's solid. One mistake and the clan's neck flies with perseverance.

Do I have my own beliefs pierced?

"Don't you like Sanro so much? At this point, let me be clear to all of you. My successor is Sanro. Those who do not fit will follow other houses, and leave Ozhang as they please. Let's get a letter of sentiment and some money for the moment."

Though relatives and heavy ministers who stiffen their sides to Soo-jeong's attitude have a slight look of anger and confusion. Shinsu calmed down when she referred to the issue of succession.

Well, that's not impossible, is it? I lost to Way Three in Mino a few years ago, but other than that, I don't have a big loss. Everyone is afraid of Shinsu's power.

"Shingoro. What do we do with that? I don't want to punish you for serving from my father's age with such a fool. If it doesn't suit you, do as you please. Either way, I'm gonna have you put on some bullshit."

"If you will forgive me, I will serve you like this"

"Are you sure? The Oda Bullet Chung family will never be the house you want again."

"I understand."

"Aye, okay. Shingoro Hayashi Soo-jeong. That territory was confiscated except for offshore villages. Remove all of Sanro's elderly duties and powers as well. Stay here for a while."

With many relatives and heavy ministers present, the conversation continued as if it were just the two of us, and Lin Xiuzheng's disposition was decided.

In this day and age when sinners will be united in the clan if they leave, I feel mild to be a union of sins aimed at the life of my lord. However, some of the heavy ministers are seen to be slightly hoarse.

Shinsu was only, I guess, taking care of the reconciliation in the house.

Actually, I think that's right. If we wait a few more years, the power of the Bullet Zhengzhong family will jump at least a few times. In that case, even if Lin Xiuzheng was later, it wouldn't matter what you think.

Xiuzheng, who leaves between her reputations, looked so calm that she could not see her emotions. Maybe this is within Su-jung's assumptions.

You can't follow Nobunaga. I don't even want to go in deep if I'm not willing to head for the blade. He wants to see the current of time with minimal possession.

Xiuzheng probably thinks that Nobunaga is going somewhere.

If you look at it calmly, you don't know. But it's a way of looking at it. At this point, Nobunaga's leap from Ogi to heaven, and so on, is certain about him and us.

――――――――――――――――――

Forest turmoil.

It is about the attempted assassination of Shin-soo Oda, the chief by Oda Bullet Chungjia Minister, Lin Tongjie.

Nobunaga said that Nobunaga and a horse on a young day had taken over Lin Tongjie in this matter.

Regarding the cause, it is described as a selfish outrage, due to Lin Tongjie's willingness, but not even what happened in that context.

For this reason, the causes are theoretical but not well understood, and Shin-soo's succession problems are involved to such an extent that it is apparent from the meagre materials of the time.

There are just other theories that the crude Lin Tongjie was neglected by Shinsu, theories caused by Shinsung's disfriendship with Lin Tongjie's brother Lin Xiuzhen, and theories that the political conflict with Heiji Jiexiu, who was the elder of the same Shinsung.

With regard to this matter, it should be noted that the inner letter sent by Lin Tongjie to Nobuyuki Oda was somehow left in Kuyuan's house, and it is said that Kuyuan Ichima, who had just been a clerk at the time, was secretly moving due to Nobunaga's life.
