Side: Kudo Ichiba
On the third night, they gathered at Yoshimi-san, Nobuyasu, Shinan, Yoshiryu, and their families, as well as Mizuki, Ichii-san, Taro Saemon, and Ishifune-sai.The place is my room in the Mansion.
"This is still a comfortable seat."
That's not true.
Yoshimi-san and Nobuhi-san were excited about the sofa in the room.This mansion is full of western rooms, so each room has a sofa in addition to a bed.Even with tailoring, there are chairs for one person, tables, seating tables, etc., but I haven't brought a sofa with a set of seats for a few people yet.
The leather surface and the cushions inside seem to have been put in, and they liked the comfort of sitting.
Now, I will dedicate it to you.
There are many boardrooms with no tatami mats in the Nippon Mansion of this era.Kiyosu Castle is tailored to a tatami matted Japanese-style room, but some rooms are used as Western rooms.If you like the sofa, you might want to give it away and spread the word.
Thank you for waiting.
After talking about it for a while, Merti and the others brought food and alcohol.Sake is lined with sake and golden sake, and seafood is Chinese.They include sweet and sour sea bream sauce and stir-fried sea lions.
Now, let me talk a little bit about outside of Nippon.
The subject is not a feast.Outside of Japan, only a limited number of people gathered to explain exactly our territory and sphere of influence.
There are words like Tang Tianzhu in this era.What is quite well known is Tang, in this era, the bright continent, Korea, and Geranium.
Then there will be barbarism, the original meaning will be the southern barbarians, and many others will be treated.
Historically, there were Japanese towns in Southeast Asia from the end of the Sengoku period to the early Edo period, but at present they have not progressed that far.Outside information flows from the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and few people will know the country of the Nanbarians, the so-called Europeans.
"Our policy is not to seek territory where there are many people and where the country is more prosperous.You've seen the Izu Islands, but we're building and pioneering villages where they're left in the middle of nowhere, where the natives aren't so strong. "
It's time to explain the facts of the Kudo family to those in the right position.I had them gather this time as an opportunity.
There are quite a few people in Japan for a reason.Western countries and Kyushu, which are close to the center of Kinai and the mainland, thrive, while Kanto and Oshu are treated as backward regions that have slowed down development.
Although Kanto has great potential from historical facts, it is a region that has been in constant conflict since ancient times and where central control has not been very effective.In addition, there are many wetlands and frequently flooded rivers in Kanto, so they cannot be developed immediately.
However, overseas is different.Some regions have harsh climates, such as Siberia, but many have lower levels of civilization than Akira or Europe.Sometimes we can be quite friendly with each other, but some areas are better attacked and occupied.
The ethics of the original world have already been abandoned.If we and Nippon are to live a stable and peaceful world, at least the Pacific Ocean must be Nippon's garden.
Well, explaining it to Yoshimi-san and the Oda family is unexpectedly difficult.There is no one who wants to advance the land that was left untouched by the values of the Sengoku era.Even the original world is more popular in cities than in rural areas.
"Where we rule and where we coexist with the local community.I've just built another village on my own. "
I will explain each one by showing a map with a slightly more elaborate nautical chart as the main map than what I previously gave to the Oda family.
"What a size.It's wider than Nippon instead of Ozaki. "
Nobua-san, the family, and Yilong-san are the first to hear this story.Even though you've come here, I thought maybe you could hide it, so I decided to teach it together, but it seems surprising or unbelievable.
"Unfortunately, we don't have a country like Akechi or Nippon."
"So you can do whatever you want?
"Yes"
Yoshimi-san and Nobuhi-san were rough, but they quickly understood our policy.Sometimes they've been teaching some things before.
"The continent has been destroyed by the emergence of many countries since ancient times.You shouldn't go deep. "
"Horse, do you want to do it?Will Shiba and Oda reign in Nippon, but will they reign in a long time?
It was Nobuyasu who went one step further.The words made Shinan and Mizuki's faces nervous.
Until now, we've been talking to Nobunaga-san and Nobunaga-san.If one step goes wrong, the conflict of interest becomes a source of contention.Nobuhi-san seems to be reading my thoughts.
"No, I think we should cure it in Nippon as well.Our house is good enough to do business with this man. "
"Then we will have to make our way while you and I are alive."
I think it's amazing. I instantly saw that it didn't end while Nobu-san and I were alive.I have a smile that makes me think he's a little troubled.
"That's exactly what you get?
"Yes, that's the best reason."
Yoshimi-san hasn't lost either.I understood that our plan was beyond the reach of the present Kudo family.
"Master Sukehiro, can you do such a thing?We still can't even help Kiuchi. "
"It will take some time now.But I think we have to do it.Ships and weapons will continue to produce better things.It is too late for Akiya and Nanban to rule the world.Well, you might think I'm being paranoid. "
Shinan-san, who wiped his sweat, asked with a half-substantiated face.Of course. Nobuya-san is an excellent civilian and knows very well that the Oda family is struggling to cure even the current territory.
I think it's natural for me to laugh at a false statement.
Is the unification of the heavens and Nippon still halfway to the inner master Suke-don?
"What a magnificent dream.But it's funny. "
Yilong-san and his family remained silent for a long time.These two opened their mouths quietly as I stared.I can hear the funny word of your family for some reason.
"To be clear, I couldn't see the mind of the inner master, Sukehiro.That's why this story is interesting and convincing.Ambition to swallow both Oda and Hinomoto without taking the world by yourself.I think it looks like the inner master's assistant. "
Nobua-san didn't say anything that would surprise and deny the word ambition.I didn't think so objectively.But it must be true.
"Is it the end of the world or the end?I went beyond the obvious.Isn't that good?If you give me this much, I'll give you Ichirotoshi.I'll hang out with you till the end."The head of an insider."
Ha, I think so too.
Yoshimi-san talked about his determination to look at them and laugh.
"It's okay. We won't win.And.... "
That's right.You learn from defeat.At least it's much more meaningful than fighting in Nippon. "
However, when Merti said it was by no means a reckless dream, Yoshimi-san laughed as if she had lost some strength on her shoulders.
For the people of Japan, this may also be the beginning of hardship.But the world is a weak predator.The times never change.
I'm sure the decision at this time will have great significance.
Yes, I'm sure.
◆ ◆
June 2022.At the main residence of the Kuyuan family in the Kuyuan Islands, it is written in the "Oda Unification Record" that there was an explanation of the overseas territory and strategy of the Kuyuan family from one horse to another.
Nobuyasu and Nobunaga seemed to have received explanations before, but in the current situation where the Oda family's system was also being put in place, it seems that they decided to reveal the current situation of the Kuyue family, which was also special to the Oda family, to the ministers.
This is the first time that a horse was clearly recorded as looking at the world.
However, among the historical researchers of the Kudo family, it is speculated that this strategy has existed to some extent since before the horse's predecessors.
It is the most dedicated horse to keep so much history as it is today, but it leaves few families before itself, and it is still being studied, including the reasons for it.
