The beggar comforted him,
“Don’t be too discouraged. There are no carps in Mutsu (Tohoku region), but the area is very large. It’s probably a convenient hypothesis that there are no carps in a small area. For example, Satomi’s son, who was born and raised in Koudhuke (Gunma Prefecture), wandered around in various ways and couldn’t find a place to visit.”
After saying that, the three of them met their eyes and once again stared at the beggar’s face.
Yoshizane heard the story and sighed,
“People are not what they appear to be. What you speak is not like a beggar. Are you a sage in disguise, or did you know me from the beginning? Tell me your name. please give me”
The beggar laughs when he is suspicious,
“There’s a lot of traffic here, so let’s talk over there.”
and move forward.
The three of them were still suspicious, but they followed. The beggar brought the three of them to a place close to Komatsubara no Sato, took off the mats that were hanging on their backs, dusted them off, spread them under a tree, and made Yoshizane sit on them. Ujimoto and Sadayuki sat on the left and right sides of Yoshizane on a bed of summer grass.
So the beggar stepped back and bowed,
“You must have been suspicious of someone you didn’t know who you were talking to. I’m a retainer of Jinyo Mitsuhiro, and I’m the descendant of someone called Kanamari Takayoshi. Kanamari belongs to the Jinyo family, but he’s an illegitimate son, so he’s a vassal. As a vassal, I was the first to serve, but I lost my parents early, and I was still immature, so I was demoted to serve.But before long, Jinyo’s behavior changed He goes crazy, drowning in women and drinking alcohol every day.He is captivated by his concubine Tamazusa and does not appear in politics.Moreover, he hired Yamashita and entrusted him with everything, so the land he governs is limited. Public morals have been disturbed. It has become a dangerous situation, like a pile of chicken eggs.”
continue,
“The old vassals were frightened by Yamashita’s power and did not try to correct the misgovernment, and even the people were unable to do so. Of course, Jinyo, who invited Yamashita in, had no knowledge of this at all. I often expressed my opinions, but they were not heard at all.I needed to put my life on the line to correct it, but I was a great sinner for repeatedly blaming my master for his faults. A single pillar cannot hold up a house that is collapsing.I told Naco and Amatsu of my intentions and withdrew.I was a light-hearted bachelor without a wife and children, so I went on a long journey. I was
Also, continue
“Then I went to Kazusa, crossed over Shimousa (Ibaraki Prefecture), passed through Kozuke (Gunma Prefecture) and Shimotsuke (Tochigi Prefecture), and even reached the end of Mutsu (Tohoku region). I lived there as a jujutsu instructor.It’s been five years, but I’m worried about the country I used to serve, and this year I decided to secretly return to Kazusa. However, what he was worried about turned out to be true and Jinyo was destroyed.
“It all started with Yamashita’s betrayal, and the monarch was killed by Bokuhei and Mukuzo’s arrows.”
I was shocked when I heard that
continue,
“Moreover, Bokuhei and Mukuzo were private soldiers that the Kanamari family had taken care of since my father’s generation, and used them for their daily needs. He would have wanted to continue serving the Kanamari family, but after I left, he tried to return to being a farmer, but he was forced to accept the strict politics and justice. However, that strategy was leaked and used in reverse, leading to futile results.”
again,
“But even if I wanted to kill Yamashita, I couldn’t get close to him because his face was known to me. So I painted his face and body with lacquer to change his appearance, and wandered around Takita every day looking at the state of the neighboring country. I decided to take a look for a while.I spent the day without being able to get a chance, and some people were suspicious of me. I happened to hear that “Yoshizane Satomi escaped from the Yuki battle and relied on Maro and Anzai, but they didn’t accept Yoshizane because of his talent. I was able to do it, but I didn’t have any clues to tell him.I was looking around and I was able to find you guys fishing.It was clearly not an ordinary person, Satomi. I was convinced that it was the master and servant of
continue,
“When I approached, I compared my feelings to the boat song of a fisherman rowing on the beach. How did you hear it? ‘I can see the village, I can see the village’ is the heart of the people who are happy to have a master of Satomi. The white sail in “Shiraho Hashirase Kaze moyoshi” refers to the color of the flag of the Genji clan, and hides the meaning that if you raise a volunteer army here, there will be no one who will not bow to the majestic wind. It means that even if you wander around now and find yourself hated by Maro and Anzai and face adversity, if all the people gather together, they will surely defeat the formidable enemies of Takita, Tateyama, and Hiradate and rule the country. If you raise the flag of righteousness and rush to Takita, enumerate Yamashita’s sins and attack, you will be able to take down the castle at once.If Yamashita is defeated and Heguri and Nagasa are taken, Maro and Anzai will be taken. It’s a worthless opponent.
Ujimoto and Sadayuki listened intently as he began to explain the strategy ahead.
