664 Episode 663: The Agony of the West and the East

SIDE: Sakami Merchant

"Is Ozhang fireworks in a hot field? I'd like to see it for once."

Sakami is still not vibrant, even though it's summer. I have nothing to do but look at the books in a store that I am completely free of.

Some time ago, merchants from the West and the remote Kyushu also stopped by, but not particularly to the extent that they bought something but stopped on their way to Oozhong.

Looks like I've been searching for something that might be sold by Ozhang, but when I say I want Ozhang for what I have here, there are only a few valuable items such as tea from Yamadae. Even that precious item will enter Oozhong from Omi these days, so I can't expect to make much money from buying it here.

These days, they sell about as much iron and weapons as they sell in Sakami. Oda wins with gold and iron cannons. I especially want gold and iron guns everywhere.

Golden cannons don't even know how to make them. I can make artillery, but it's not cheap enough to buy it easily. More than anything, it's tough to have expensive money on balls and pills to shoot. The bow also costs money with arrow bullets, but a bow that can shoot quickly beats an iron gun. If you can use a bow, you won't be able to buy an iron cannon, and you won't be able to use it without enough money.

Besides, they also make artillery cannons for national friends and miscellaneous games. I don't have the nitrous stones I need for the key jade pills in the Nippon Book, so I have to buy them from Ming, but these days there have been fewer Ming ships coming to Sakami, so the value is too high for anyone to buy them. Last year, the return to Ming of a clandestine trader whose ship was sunk by the Nanbans may not have seemed like a good idea, and even Kyushu and his western counterparts could be profitable.

Perhaps the congregation would know the details, but even a merchant to my degree can tell me why.

Still, the iron cannon itself is sold against Kichinai, led by Sanho-sama. The only people who make money are those who deal in artillery and weapons, and those who make sachets.

The number of craftsmen has decreased. I cut off the carcass and moved elsewhere. The traitors and the congregation seem to be cursing, but the fact that they disgusted the congregation contending with Tai Zhang for reasons not to go down would be the truth.

Don't ask me if I have a job and my life will improve in Ozhang or Ise.

"Looks like you're still free"

"We're each other."

A familiar merchant showed his face to the store when he closed his books to sigh. We're in such a painful position with each other that we can just see our faces. I've lived as a merchant of Sakaki for generations, but I don't know how long they'll keep the store open.

"Sanho-sama also organized with the congregation. I hope it gets better from now on..."

The familiar merchant gave a similar look to giving up by spraying a cigarette that had come in these days.

Sanho-sama takes the time to reconcile with Ozhang. That is what the Sakami desire. If we can mediate harmony in the present situation, which is insulated by the Spur family, the Oda family, and the Kuyuan family, I think there will only be about Mitsuyoshi, who will hold the capital of Kyoto.

I hear the congregation is still looking down at Ozhang, but do you really think there is a voice saying that there is already a lot of contention? He also has a face, so he wants to know if he can bow his head like Ogi, but how long will he have that will?

"In Kurona, the congregation that fought with Oda was all killed by the same Kurona merchant."

"I guess not. If I were to do it, I should have done it before Sanho-sama allowed me to. Those who rebelled against the congregation left."

Some merchants of the congregation we take care of. I'm asking you to be patient for a while now and obey me, but even the congregation is starting to argue, not one rock, so I guess I can't do that.

"Are you okay with that ship that the congregation is building?

"I don't know. I heard the golden cannon didn't work."

The congregation is not helpless either. I throw my personal belongings and let them build ships and gold cannons that imitate Ozhang's black ship. I hear that if I could do that, I wouldn't let Ogi have such a big face, but the ship came in shape, but the familiar merchant, the golden cannon, doesn't seem to work at all.

I don't know what really happens.

SIDE: Yoshiwon Imagawa

"Can we manage to attack during the summer? Xuesai."

"Ha."

When I realized it, my Imagawa family was in a position to ask about the complexion of the surrounding countries.

Many people complain about why they break the Three Rivers in the East Three Rivers. They cracked my hometown. Being angry doesn't help. I know how you feel.

Far River is very popular, but there will also be internal dissatisfaction. In the Nishisan River, Oda runs food to avoid starvation. You just can't starve. From the point of view of the people.

As always, neither Spur nor Oda seem to tell the West Three Rivers to bow down, and I hear that there are many who are still unable to clarify their position, but that Yoshira offered to bow down as soon as possible? I suppose Oda's power is planning to recapture the former occupation of the Far River. At best, I want you to pull Oda's leg.

"Don't worry about Hojo."

"How it emulates Oda's rule. Tokaido is also concerned about the growing number of merchants passing through Surugawa."

Hojo, Takeda and Imagawa families were damaged in the land shake last year, but Hojo is already stable as if there had been no ground shake.

Oda's boat, which does not stop at Surugawa or Far River cottages with Ozhang, still seems to be going to Kanto in a convoy several times a year. Even on land, the conditions of harmony with Oda have increased since the merchants through Imawa territory were included.

Those who have territories along Tokaido are happy because taxes also come in, but some say they are dissatisfied with the situation of just watching a lot of loads go bare.

The headache is that many people still think that the West Three Rivers should be attacked further by the soldiers they have gathered? If some of them plot to attack with Takeda, they will hear that there are even those who say that it is not a number of objects, such as Oda.

Do something left-handed. You'll be attacked from the west and east. How much do you think Hojo benefits from Oda?

Takeda will side with the winner. I can see you coming at us pretending to be unfamiliar.

"Is there anyone worth turning to?

"So far...... I don't know if it's a big win in the field. I also speak to Shinano, but I can't do that either. Shinano's lack of cohesion and more enemies in Takeda have led to more strife within Shinano."

I couldn't get my hands on Kanto, so I expected Shinano, but I didn't know it could even come together. You mean people to the point of giving Qingxin a gap?

"Hard to say that...... Shinano expects more from SWA and Oda than we do. No one knows the cause of the Imagawa family and the Swamp. It looks like Springwave started assisting Manager Ogasawara, and there are a few extra people on our side."

Did Shin-soo do it? He's still a man with no gaps. Long time is a man who has lost his castle. Even if I say aid, I will know. Nevertheless, do you expect me to just assist you in this world?

The Ogasawara family must have sent reinforcements to Spur in their battles in the Far River in the past. I may have brought it up there, but don't you think I'd be on your side with the Imawa family if aid came from some rumored tail?

I don't think I can congratulate you enough to think you're just going to name a soldier, but it shouldn't be the same to just brag that Buddha and rumored bullet Zhengzhong have come along as allies to aid.

"With Oda growing like this, it would be interesting if Oda and Kurumi competed..."

"Dear Hall. There is no cheap expectation on the left. Assuming the time may come for Oda and Kuyuan to contend, but that can't be the first time if it's not when we see the heavens."

"I know. I'm just saying."

I know how difficult it is to rule the country. As the territory expands so rapidly and mixes from new to ancient ginseng, there should be constant strife.

Why is Oda doing so well?

Now, there should be a good opportunity for the Imawa family someday. For that time, the Imagawa family must eat Takeda and grow up.

Even if Oda unified the heavens, as Snow Sai said, it would not be treated crudely if it had unobstructed force.

If we can manage to cut the merit and control it to Shinano...
