103 Episode One Hundred and Two: The Ise Guardian's Decision

side: Shinan Oda

"I still can't."

"Ha, sorry"

"Okay, I know what you mean."

Is the negotiation with the Bullet Zhengzhong family unwell?

Naturally. From the other side, a great opportunity to descend the Ise Guardian. I can't give it back right away even if I'm Bullet Zhengzhong.

The Bullet Zhengzhong family now has momentum. Now is the best time to slap Ise Guardian. I don't know about fighting because it's a peasant season, but if you change your mind, it's unlikely that both Imawa and Saito will move now.

"It's time to decide. Obey or fight."

"My lord, if we are to fight, it is one hand to alliance with the Saito family of Mino."

I can't win alone. Do you want to work with Mino? But can you trust me? He's the one who assassinates my husband. Imawa is still more trustworthy, but Imawa is not good.

"Why don't we just get along and make an alliance with the Saito family and the Imagawa family in the Three Houses?

The alliance of the three families? If you have an alliance, you can certainly counter the Bullet Zhengzhong family.

But this river is not good.

"Would you conveniently receive an alliance? Besides, this river is like a guardian's hatred. Meet such an alliance. We'll be enemies to the Guardian!

Yes. The fall of Ozhang's predecessor's guardian was caused by the Imagawa family robbing his guardian of the Far River. I don't have any good feelings with my current guardian.

Though only famous, the guardian is the guardian. If Ise Guardian takes up the guardianship post and appoints the Bullet Zhengzhong family as the new guardianship family, even the great name to fight Bullet Zhengzhong family will disappear. If you do poorly, you may be forced to submit to the Bullet Zhengzhong family.

Besides, if we're really going to fight the Bullet Chung family, are we all willing to fight?

"Hmm! Even if it's a tiger or a Buddha, you're just lucky! I'll take Shinsu's neck!

"Oh no! The number of soldiers is too different!

"What!?

"Either way, we have to fight a battle. If it's just a matter of one fool getting off without fighting, shame to the last generation. If you lost the war and got down, you'd still give up."

"Sure, I can't help getting down, but I'm going down like this."

"Wait a minute. Do we fight and the house stays!? The Yamato guardian is gone!

"That's right. I don't think Bullet Zhengzhong will leave the Ise Guardian! We can't do this until we've drastically reduced our receipt."

Is the whole house broken? Those who want war. Those who do not want war. Those who say that we should fight the Bullet Zhengzhong family thoroughly. Who says we should go down with our strength conserved. You're falling apart.

There are a lot of people in the small realm who scream outright resistance. Because you want more handles than Ise Guardian's whereabouts? I suppose you thought you could live according to the Bullet Zhengzhong family as long as you had a handle on it.

What are we gonna do, beat my brother-in-law? No, you don't have to win. Can we show the power of the Ise Guardian?

"Speaking of which, what are the rumored South Barbarian collapsed golden cannons and what are they like? Rumor has it he called thunder and burned down the castle."

"I don't know. But it is certain that Qingzhou fell overnight without holding it."

There's another thing that bothers me. I dropped Tsingzhou Castle in just one day.

The god of thunder took his side, but he used Nanban witchcraft, and I hear all the untranslated rumors.

I don't think it's true, but I'm sure Chingzhou Castle fell overnight.

Do we have to fight?

If you don't fight here and come down, get the slander of cowards and fools.

"Neither Mino nor Imawa can have an alliance. If Lord Bullet wants to fight, why not respond?"

"Ha."

Did the broken ministers follow suit? But watch out for insiders and disobedience.

Win one battle and the flow will change. If you lose, you can cage and think again.

It will not be taken to life.

side: Kuyuan Yima

Ozhang is the subject of battle. Nobu-san hasn't made it clear yet that he's going to fight, but we all think it's going to be a fight.

Looks like the common folk are talking about which one wins the battle between the Bullet Zhongzhong family and the Ise Guardian family over the name of the battle or the big name. So far, they have a lot of rumors that the Bullet Zhengzhong family is dominant.

"Prices are starting to rise, aren't they? Prices for rice, cereals, salt, miso, etc. are rising."

"You think a merchant who stepped into battle is making money?"

"It looks like Iwakura started collecting food, so the price went up all at once."

Well, the battle is fine. Because I have no choice and I have no problem with it militarily.

The problem is that prices have risen unnecessarily. However, Ziqing's sneak research suggests that the territory of the Bullet Zhongzhong family is still better, and Iwakura's territory has a greater price increase.

Probably because Iwakura started preparing for the war. The Bullet Zhengzhong family hasn't moved yet, but they've virtually sealed off the realm.

"It is in Qingzhou that prices are rising particularly in the realm of the Bullet Zhengzhong family. There are many people there and many merchants who lost money because of the loss of the Yamato guardian."

On this day, we are talking about prices and warfare by turning over Mr. Ichie Tsuki to Mr. Ota to me and Elles.

It is Ota who is familiar with the circumstances of Qingzhou. Probably because he was originally the minister of the guardian's Swamp system, Shinobu.

Ota notices the details a lot and is keen to study. The way we do things is not the same as the martial arts and merchants of this era, but Ota studies well with Shiqing, right?

It does not appear that Nobunaga sidelined Dada with historical facts.

"You're having trouble getting prices up. The territory stabilized because of this."

"The Bullet Zhengzhong family doesn't have to think about cage castles, so they have enough food and money. But the minister is more subtle. Because it doesn't seem very planned."

"An earthquake is such a thing. Because pride is expensive in vain, we will buy and sell the merchant's food."

As things stand, it's more important to talk about prices than the war itself.

I don't mind if prices go up in a balance between demand and supply, but in this age, distribution is too immature and prices fluctuate at the merchants' thoughts.

Well, if the martial arts family is in trouble, let the merchants give arrow money and issue moral decrees, so I don't know what it feels like.

That and the trouble is the territorial management of the minister. It seems that unplanned management of accounts is common.

If you're as good as Bullet Zhongzhong, you still have a civilian and it doesn't seem that unplanned. If a merchant buys you a lot of good food, you'll be in debt and servitude will go to the inhabitants.

"Do you want to serve your lord?"

"You should prepare the food in the hands of the Bullet Zhengzhong family. We can buy from cheap places."

"If you're a merchant, ask the merchants of Tsushima and Hota if you'd like to share the story. The merchants will release it before the value drops, so we can take care of it. Let's sell thanks."

"The merchants in Qingzhou are a little overdone. You should look in the painful eye."

It would be better to ban the mess and the mowing of the fields. It's just going to be hard after all.

They also generally bring their own food for the first three days of battle, and since then there has been a custom for those who mobilize to send it out. However, in order to save money on war expenses, you should prepare it at the Bullet Chung Zhongjia.

Even if Shin-soo decides how much to burden the minister, we need to make sure that the cost of war is not wasted.

Iwakura is close, and can we finally test for replenishment and transportation?

Merchants who have raised prices in vain are in pain, and malicious people need to mark them as cautious people in the future.

Nevertheless, not six months after the annexation of Qingzhou, the annexation of Iwakura is too early. Even though Qingzhou finally started to stabilise and successfully wrap up.
