1368 Lesson one thousand three hundred and sixty-seven - Winter Journey

Side: Masaru Sasaki

Is it snow?

As the horses and soldiers rested and looked up at the sky, snow began to flicker that didn't rain much at Owari.

We are in Shinano from the Oku Sanrikawa River, and have been instructed to carry dried rice, grain, salt, and small fish to Shinano territory.

In Shinano, the battle between Takeda, Ogasawara, and Imagawa was rough, and there were many bandits.There were more guardians than I could carry.

Would you like to hurry up a bit?

"Oh, right. Let's go to the village that will be our inn tonight."

Even in Oda territory, there is a lot of snow in North Americano and Hida.I had been to Sekigahara too many times, so I didn't think it was unusual to find snow.I can't afford to be impossible under this cold sky.

I managed to reach the village temple, which would become my inn tonight, in the snow that began to descend.

Oh, today's meal is a whale pot.

"Hah, everyone is happy."

It's a hungry place. We also carry all the food we eat along the way.As expected, although there is no liquor, the rice is not such as to cause dissatisfaction.

In Oda, both the guards and the cargo squads are supposed to eat the same things during their duties, from soldiers to generals.It would be good to reduce the fear of being poisoned and unite.

It is so cold that it is warm on this day.The whale miso hotpot warms up from the core of the body, and you can eat plenty of rice.Everyone eats with joy, and laughter is constant.

Whale meat, anyway. I heard a long time ago that it was precious and not much to eat, but now I can eat quite a lot.I heard that Kunitsu-sama sometimes brought them here, and recently, the navy has been catching whales.

Oh, do you have sheepskins?

There is no liquor, but from time to time everyone is handed out a lamb loaf.It looks like such a day tonight.Guards and garbage squads have been used heavily in Oda since the teachings of Lord Kudo.Roku is good and the rice is delicious.For that matter, if you drain the load, you will be severely punished.

It is not comparable to that, but Shinano's village is very poor.The more people in the temple envy this meal.I pay the courtesy money every time, so I don't have to make a commotion.

The villagers who newly became Oda territory along the way told them to follow Oda if they didn't want to starve.It's winter with no field work.Those who can work and are available are supposed to be sent to Nishisanhe.

I'm going to Shinano now, so I won't take him with me, but it's not uncommon to send someone to Mikawa on the way back.

Some villages are suspicious and unbelievable, but those on the left end up abandoning them.

Now, after dinner, all you have to do is go to bed.I hope it doesn't get a little colder tomorrow.

Side: Kuyuichima

In Ogari, Mino, Mikawa, and Ise, there is a thriving farmer's parade.

Maintenance and flood control of streets and zoning of fields.Also, I thought it might be a good preparation.There will be no one who is healthy and able to work, and no one who is free.

In addition, Higashi-Mikawa has a large number of local residents serving in the service from Owari, Mino, and Ise.We don't have any reinforcements from the river right now, but we need to improve our security and readiness along the border.

I'm sure they won't come after me.

The calendar is mid-November.At Kiyosu Castle and Uchi Castle, holiday dressings are beginning to spoil.It's only the end of the year, so if you don't get your work done before you leave, you'll be too busy to finish it.

Since the territory is spread every year, it cannot be the same as the previous year.I have a lot of work to do, including the situation of the new territory and whether there are any shortages of supplies over the year.

I see, it's so terrible.

Yeah, you're going to starve to death, aren't you?

On such a day, Ursa and Hiruza returned from a visit to Shinano.Although the Kiso family is working hard, it seems that it is difficult in poor areas and places affected by the war.

"Also, Shinano is shaken by Takeda's declaration to free the hostages."There are rumors that you're making a scene of abandonment. "

Hmm. The people who fought Ogasawara and Imagawa according to Takeda are troublesome.Ogasawara and Imagawa surrendered to Oda, and perhaps we can't help but wonder what to do in the future.

It is not uncommon in this era to think that Ogasawara will come to retaliate with Oda soldiers.

"You should also think about Takeda's support."When the hostages return, there will be some places here that say, "Submit."

When it comes to Takeda, Harumi himself is willing to throw away the value.It's information obtained through overtechnology.I guess Shinano thinks it's just a loss.

Honestly, I was surprised at the speed of the decision.I thought I would move to persuade you once more, but I didn't stop Koriyama and Oyamada, who claimed to dissolve the alliance.I may also be surprised at the inside of Mt. Koriyama and Mt. Oyamada.

I was in a hurry to get the women and children out of the karma during the year.Let the hostages go, and what about the ministers who follow Haruna?That would be the end of it, wouldn't it?

Are you starting to wake up in a critical situation?There is something that makes me think that the speed of the decision is still a great man of historical facts in a position of only limited information.

The problem was Shinano. Shinano also had the Suwa family that Haruna destroyed by breaking an alliance.He was going to inherit the victory of the historical fact that was also the actual child of Harumi, but the defending Shiro was still in front of the original uniform, and losing the shield behind Takeda could lead to an inheritance dispute.

I wonder if Shiro will let Haruna escape with the other wives and children.

Although Shingen Takeda was famous throughout the Warring States Period, there must have been areas around here that Shinano hated even during my time.Shinano already hates Takeda. I wonder what will happen.

Oh, what's the matter? Here we go.

I'm waiting for you.

Considering Ursa's reports to Elle and Xiuqing, Hiruza finds them looking at us from the gap of the barrier and calls out.

Were you there?

"Oh, it's over. You can come in."

Oh, you couldn't wait to hear that Ursa and the others were back.The maid is sorry.

When I put it in the room, Daimyu Maru, Umi, and Hiki ran along with the Robo family.

But the Daiwamaru. Now you can wait while you're at work?Maybe the maid had stopped it.

Well, I'll tell you the tricky story later.Now I want you to tell the children about their journey.
