115 Episode 114: The Unrest of Iwakura

side: Kuyuan Yima

"Are you sure?

"I don't mind. Moving people with compassion would be a good M.O. to do so. Isesho is not worse than I thought. I'm sorry to make the whole house full of suspicions like this."

On this day, me and Elle were ordered to give Mr. Shinsu covert support for Iwakura. It would be a difficult, if somewhat normal, order to support Iwakura's men while protecting them.

The more you leave it, the stronger Shinsu's influence will be after his subordination. If we go well with that, we might get more direct jurisdictions. Well, it's gonna be tough in the end.

More than that, they want to support Iwakura and get him to follow suit early. I do have a problem with people fighting through the winter while roughing up the realm at this rate.

"Okay. So why don't we ask the merchants not to do business with the murderers, and let the rumors flow? The matter of the merchant will be noticed, but the murderer is the one who refused to submit to his lord. We have a name here, too."

"That's fine. Others have ambiguous attitudes. I'll break your liver."

It's not that hard to do. All you have to do is ask the merchants in the realm of the Bullet Chung family not to make a deal with the war idiots who are hostile to Iwakura. I have no connection to the merchants in Iwakura territory, but perhaps they will listen to our request.

If you don't listen to me, I'll turn the Bullet Loyalty merchant against the enemy.

And then have the value of things returned, and Iwakura will favor the Takigawa Ninja Army, and the morale of the war fools will fall, and even rumors will flow that the residents will not obey.

May I borrow your name?

"Whatever you want. I've been in a bit of trouble since you guys got here. I'm not afraid, I'm in a strange mood for worship."

I thought Shin-soo's permission for once, but I got a funny grin. Ah, the laugh of a convicted criminal.

Well, every time we do something, Shin-soo is made a Buddha, right? In the past, he was a popular lord called a tiger, but have you never been worshipped?

"Sounds like you could make it in the temple, having made your lord a Buddha one of these days. Can't we ever fight the crowd?

"That doesn't sound like a joke when you say it."

"It's a joke. Half of it."

"That idea is your strength."

If we backed up Shinsu, I really feel like I could be a living Buddha and have a religion. Living Buddha Oda Army vs. Always the crowd. You're a chaos if you really do it. I'm a little stunned.

It's not a bad thing to be called a Buddha, though. With the trust of the people, something should always be better than historical facts.

"I've always wanted to ask you, does the Lord consider heaven to be in his own power?

"... under heaven? Maybe everyone dreams once. But what I was able to do was to see how I could even wrap up the tail. Lately, I think. If you hadn't come, I'd have thought about it."

"If we won the war, wouldn't the territory have been more extended?

"If you win. But if you lose, why don't you?

I wanted to ask you once. I can't even say it's a secret of history, but how far did Shin-soo think he saw it?

There's only one name left in history, and it would be my father, Nobunaga, who created the basis for Nobunaga's leap forward in history.

"If you can take the heavens just by winning the battle, someone will take the heavens before the Toto. Once upon a time, I didn't know what more to do."

Wow. Really awesome. I didn't think I was seeing myself so objectively. You're supposed to be living in a limited world.

Nobunaga of historical facts, besides his strength, I think he also had good luck.

Sanoko, Asakura, Hexagon. If it was their whole season, even Nobunaga wouldn't know what was going on. More importantly, during the barrel cramps, Taihara Snow Sai, known as Yoshimoto Imagawa's warrior, Prime Minister Kurokai, "Kurokosai", has not died.

Even if Nobunaga was born in his father's place, he might not have been able to take it under heaven.

"I saw you guys and understood. The world is huge. If you don't understand, it's not a bad idea to leave it to the understandable. If Oda could take Heaven, it would be heavenly."

People change and grow. But when you get older, it gets harder to change. Well, Shin-soo is a successful man.

Yet it has changed and grown.

If Shinsu, who died forty years ago in historical fact, lived twenty more years. How far will it change and grow?

I understand. Future thoughts for me and Elles. Sure. A little scary. Maybe Shinan Iwakura is scared too.

Shin-soo is ahead of his time.

side: Shinan Oda

More food than expected was received from the Bullet Zhengzhong family. I spent so much money on treating epidemic diseases in the winter, can you send me this much soon?

"The value of things has dropped all at once. And merchants have stopped doing business with traitors."

"Isn't it too soon? And why a greedy merchant..."

"It looks like Bullet Zhengzhong has been moved. Let's take cover for the lord. And if you let go of those who refuse to obey, there will be no sign of bullet loyalty."

As a result of bowing your head? I also honestly apologized in my letter. The fact that I sent out a rampaged fool in the territory of Bullet Zhongzhong from all over the house, and the fact that I could not wrap up the whole house with a policy of obedience.

"My lord, please take the opportunity. Rumor has it that Bullet Zhengzhong has reinforcements on the territory. A rumored golden cannon that dropped Qingzhou in a day entered Qingzhou from Kuyuan residence in Naguno."

"Did you even talk about reinforcements?

"No. No. Probably a rumor that Bullet Zhengzhong flushed. But the merchant's movements make the rumors true. The people and the people of China will think that the first victory or defeat has been decided."

Lord Bullet told Inosuke to use his head. I mean, this is what you're gonna do, you're gonna show it to me?

Horrible. I didn't know you could move this area so much, just words, without moving a single soldier.

"The reaction in the realm has also begun. A greedy conspirator of private interest and personal greed, who defied his lord in his efforts to avoid a useless battle. If that's what everyone's saying."

"The planting is over. Gather your soldiers and slap them."

"Ha. I was wondering if that's okay"

I didn't expect to even be fed for battle. I'm not a first-line kid. But there is no wonder and anger.

If you return the back, the Bullet Zhengzhong can do the same thing at any time. Sounds like you got your ass slapped trying to wrap up the Ise Guardian fast.

The same thing happened to them when the value of things was high. I'm ready for a lot. They'll pick up soldiers and crush us here at once.

――――――――――――――――――

Iwakura Unrest

In the notary of Nobunaga, it says only a few things about the turmoil in Iwakura.

There is only a slight record of the civil unrest of the Ise Shouxiang family, where some of the ministers flipped the flag against Shinsu Oda, who decided to submit to Shinsu.

I don't know the detailed history or the contents of the battle, and some theories are that this is Shinsu's ploy, but I'm not so sure as to be true or false.

However, the relationship between Shin-soo and Shin-an before and after the turmoil is good, and the offer of subordination from the Ise-guardian side makes it doubtful to use it as a ploy for Shin-soo, and the possibility of a power struggle that was originally inside Ise-guardian has also been suggested recently.

Shinsu, where the Oda Yamato family nearly stabilized Shinxiu in Shimoshi four counties, but led by Shinko Oda of Inuyama Castle and others, there were already fewer people in Shinxiu in Shimoshi four counties who were closer to the Bulletsu family than the Ise Shosho family.

Although this is said to be the fruit of many years of Shinsu's work, it seems that Ise Guardians already had no power to bind the upper four counties at this time, and that it was both a conflict or an obedience to the Bullet Zhongzhong family by gambling on the status of guardianship bills as it were.

The clash between the Bullet Zhongzhong family and the Ise Guardian, who already possessed part of Mitsugawa and Mino, with the help of the Sage Water Army and no major threat to the south, was a matter of time for anyone to see.

As a result, Shinan chose to obey him, and at this time it is said that it was Shengfu Yamauchi who played an active role in the Iwakura turmoil.

Later, Shin-soo tells the story that he admired Sheng Fu as a true subordinate.
