Chapter 13 Part 2 - Since I was reborn as Saito Yoshitatsu, I'm aiming to hand over the territory to Oda Nobunaga and live longer!
1536 (Tenbun era, year 5)
TL: Yuina In March, when the snow had melted slightly, Asakura Kagetaka came out on his final offensive in the short period of time between rice planting.
As Gunji Ohno [1], he has mobilized his troops, and seemed to be quite serious. Nishi-Mino's [2] allies were made to respond to the movement of Saito Sayu, and the soldiers of Oga could not move to maintain security. As a result, the area around Anama Castle and Itoshiro Castle, which were branch castles of the To clan [3] in Ono County, Echizen Province, fell completely into the hands of the enemy. It is said that the Kokujin [4] near the border with Echizen would be exempted from military service for the time being, as they'll continue to be in a tense state. It's only natural if you want to prevent any betrayal.
[1] Asakura Kagetaka's official court rank was Shikibu taifu (Senior Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Ceremonial), and he was appointed to Gunji Ohno (district official) of Echizen Province.
[2] "Nishi-Mino" is located in the western part of Gifu prefecture, almost in the center of the Japanese archipelago.
[3] The To clan is a Japanese clan and a branch family of the Chiba clan.
[4] The ji-zamurai, also known as kokujin, were lords of smaller rural domains in feudal Japan. They often used their relatively small plots of land for intensive and diversified forms of agriculture; the kokujin sought to be as productive and self-sufficient as possible, hoping to gain wealth and power.
for the hard work
