Episode 33:
The Clouds of War Begin to Move

OSAKA CASTLE

December, 1591.

Hideyoshi passed down his title
of Imperial Adviser

to his nephew, Hidetsugu, and
assumed the title of Regent.

He was personally overseeing the
preparations for war in Korea.

...you must've opposed
this from the start.

Yes, but I have to help
the Regent.

I'm relieved to hear that.

You can have a military
conference in Nagoya with him.

Unless I do everything I can

to save the country
from destruction,

I'll be disobeying
the Buddha.

You are strong in
fighting wars,

and you are considerate.

They may be cautious in
dealing with you.

Though you serve the Regent,

you must show that you are not
inferior to him in character.

Then you'll be able to control
the country in a crisis.

Remember that the Buddha is
always looking for a successor.

I see.

My decision to go to Nagoya
has been reinforced.

I appreciate that.

SAKAI IN OSHU

Meanwhile, a merchant from
Hakata named Shimai Soshitsu,

who was sent to Korea by
Hideyoshi, returned to Sakai.

There is something I have
to tell you

before the Regent's
aide comes for me.

Did the Emperor of Korea accept
our Regent's request?

That's a big lie.

Lie, their emperor lied?

No! The citizens of our country
are deceiving our Regent!

You mean the monk,
Yoshitomo is?

Yes, and Konishi Yukinaga
from Sakai.

The Koreans don't expect
us to attack them.

But, the Regent's emissary
must've arrived there.

Yes, but all that emissary said
was Hideyoshi wants to be friendly.

So send a messenger to congratulate
him on the unification.

Then, our Regent replied that
he's attacking China,

so he requests the Korean's
help in leading him there.

But that message never
got there.

The Regent thinks the Korean
emperor accepted,

and they, in turn, think that
we want to resume trade

What a strange
misunderstanding.

How can he send troops out
so recklessly

when this could determine
our country's fate?

This is more dangerous
that I imagined.

What shall we do,
Naya?

Father?

Someone who knew that Sir Shimai
is here, came to see him.

What?

Who could have known
I was here?

It's Sir Ishida Mitsunari.

Ishida Mitsunari?

- Bring him in.
- Yes.

Excuse me.

I have a favor to ask you
before you meet our Regent.

What?

A magistrate at the zenith of
his power wants my help?

On the matter of sending
troops to China...

Starting such a war could
lead us to destruction.

But the Regent wouldn't lend
an ear to our requests.

But you have seen
their country.

So, I'd like you to ask the
Regent to stop this war.

You and Sir Konishi are
both very selfish.

What?

If you state your opinion,
you may anger the Regent.

He may execute you, or make
you commit seppuku.

So, you want me to do it.
Samurai are selfish.

So...

- You won't do as I ask?
- Right!

Unless Sir Konishi decides to
go abroad as a scout first,

I won't admonish
our Regent.

Then...

Then, if Sir Konishi agrees
to become our scout,

will you grant us
our wish?

I am a man.

I'll risk my life
for my country,

and tell the regent
exactly what I saw.

Sir Soshitsu!

I appreciate it!

I swear make
Sir Konishi accept.

Raise you head, a magistrate
shouldn't do this.

Soshitsu?

Thanks for your efforts.

I hope you inspected the
country thoroughly.

First, this is a map.

Bring it to me, Mitsunari.

We should set up camp in Pyuson
and proceed to Keishi.

Set up camp?

I didn't tell you.

I'm building a castle
in Nagoya.

This will be our base,

from which we send troops
to Pyuson.

Once we proceed, we'll head
straight for the Chinese capital.

I'm sorry to say, that
won't be possible.

What?

What's not possible?

The emperor of Korea has long
been the Chinese emperor's ally.

He will never betray the Chinese
just to help you, Regent.

Soshitsu!

sAre you telling me not
to send the troops abroad?

This war will require
too much funds.

Chances are 7 or 8 out of 10
that we'll lose.

Shut up!

I asked you to find out about
their geography and people.

I never asked for you
opinion on this war.

But, in foreign lands, even
the citizens are enemies.

You cannot proceed as you
would in barren lands.

Mitsunari!

Kill him.

How many of your men are truly
supporting this war?

What's most important in such
a huge task,

is whether everyone is united
in its support.

I believe it's better not to
go to war at this point

but penetrate into their
country with trade.

Because Soshitsu risked his life
to tell him this,

Hideyoshi began to harbor doubts
about his plans.

But he had already
mobilized his troops.

The arrow has left
the bow already.

I can't change my plans now.

Soshitsu...

You can't complain
any more.

Arrest him,
Mitsunari.

The whole country would laugh
at him if he stopped now.

Ieyasu, who had turned
50 that year,

Heard of Hideyoshi's intentions.

He knew that the burden of
stopping Hideyoshi rested on him.

Chomatsumaru, who changed
his name to Hidetada,

returned from Kyoto on
December 17th

with the news that Hideyoshi's
departure date was March 1st.

...the troops departing
next spring total 280,000.

If we add the laborers to this
number, it will be a million.

It is on a much bigger
scale than I imagined.

They request that you lead
5,000 across the seas

to clear the way for
the regent.

If the wars are difficult,

you must admonish our
Regent and send him home.

You're the only one
capable of doing that.

Will you be able to get along
with the new Regent

after I cross the seas?

Yes.

Hidetsugu invited me over to
tell me he was like my brother.

And? What did
you reply?

I appreciated it, so I asked
him to lead me well.

Who do you think is better,
the Adviser or the Regent?

The Regent, naturally.

Then you don't mind being lead
by a mere Adviser?

This is a war against
a foreign country.

If you hear that I am
killed,

and Hidetsugu orders you to lead
our entire clan overseas,

what will you do?

I'll cross the seas to
avenge your death...!

What else?

Can't you answer me?

Yes.

I'll tell them that for the
security of my territories,

I can't set off to war
with my entire army.

Hidetada?

Yes?

What if he insists and
orders you repeatedly?

Neither one can give in.

That's when wars begin.

What will you do,
Masazumi?

Please give me instructions.

Toshikatsu?

I'm unable to
answer that.

Masanobu, tell these youngsters
what one should do.

What's most important is to
always be on one's guard,

to prevent being cornered
into such a predicament.

There's nothing we can do

if both sides are
cornered like that.

What's most important
is to be careful

not to let such
a situation emerge.

Understand, Hidetada?

Make your brother in Edo
understand that

you won't obey
stupid orders.

Then he'll be careful,

and discuss matters with you
before he orders you.

I shall keep that
lesson in mind.

Now that you understand,
I can set out for war.

You are capable of keeping
the fort in my absence.

February 1592,
Ieyasu went to Kyoto.

Many people are saying this war
is my biggest mistake.

Unless I can conquer China now,

the Europeans will come and
destroy China, Korea, and Japan.

Then we'll become
their slaves.

I'm setting out for war because
I can see far ahead.

So...

I'd like your opinion.

Can you stay and control
the country?

That's a surprise.
What will you do?

I'll lead the army myself.

You must not do that!

Such a war should not be fought!

Even if you're controlling
the country?

The new Adviser and I cannot
carry out the task.

There's one promise
I'd like you to keep.

That's if the wars should
escalate, I'll lead the army.

If I'm killed,

You must withdraw your troops
and set out another day.

This war should be fought
with ease,

or it shouldn't be
fought at all, Sire.

All right.

We're talking
of the worst.

I'm happy, Councilor.

Because of you, nothing will
affect our country.

I can escort you to
Nagoya with peace of mind.

Hideyoshi left Kyoto and arrived
in Nagoya on April 25th.

By then, the second wave of
troops arrived in Pyuson,

and the war in Korea was
becoming serious.

...not only ships, but 10,000
boatmen have set out,

and 5,000 will
depart soon.

Well...

Our navy must have been
defeated. We're in trouble.

I'll write a letter so please
be my messenger.

It's for Nagoya, isn't it?

It's rough to travel by sea.
Koetsu will be your escort.

It's not like you, father.

If you can't go, isn't it
natural that I go in your place?

There was another woman who
was tormented by this war.

...I pity the young and old.

They must have been afraid
of the foreign soldiers.

I hope they're
not cruel to them.

Don't worry.

I know my son better
than you do.

He's sick! He won't stop
fighting until he dies!

Mother...

Nene, I beg of you to
write to him.

I have had nightmares
for the last 2 - 3 nights.

Many ships were burned
in a pool of blood,

and he was on one
of them!

All right. I'll send
a letter immediately.

Dreams are not reality,
so please don't worry.

My dream
may come true.

Announcing the Adviser!

Hidetsugu?

Mother!

We have just received news

hat our navy was destroyed
off the coast of Kyosei.

Hidetsugu!

Don't tell me my son
was there.

He is in Nagoya.

But he intends to go to
raise the soldiers' morale.

No! Don't let him
cross the ocean!

But, once he says something,
he'll never listen to others.

My dream was true!
That's the ocean of hell!

Write to him now or he'll
set off to sail!

- Mother?
- Grandmother?

Call a doctor!

- Mother!
- Grandmother!

How dare you give me
such a useless report!

Forgive me, but reports
from the front...

You're still talking!

As the war prolonged, the civilians
began to resist vehemently.

The Japanese army was
at a disadvantage.

I will cross the ocean myself
and scold the entire army!

Please wait.

Councilor? Even you want
me to admit our defeat?

Just calm down,
and remember our promise.

Our promise?

I shall cross the
ocean first.

Councilor...

Mitsunari reports
that the war is bitter.

Yet, you'll go there?

Give me the order to
send my troops out.

- I'm afraid, but...
- What!

Please allow me
to go first.

Unless we can go and see the
situations with our own eyes,

we cannot carry out your order.
Please let me go.

I'm glad you said that.

You saved my reputation!

Hideyoshi sent Ishida Mitsunari,
Otani Yoshitsune,

and Masuta Nagamori
to inspect the troops.

Delicious cucumbers!

Just then, Kinomi arrived
from Sakai.

How about delicious cucumbers
to take to your kids?

All right, I'll take three.

Here you go.

What a pretty lady. For that,
I'll give you one free.

What a generous
cucumber-vendor.

Your generosity resembles that
of the Regent

who gives provinces away to
those who did well in battle.

He even gives away
foreign countries now.

What?

This is the Regent.
Watch your manners.

She said something
quite intelligent.

Forget the formalities.
Stay and watch this game.

Yes.

I will sing you a song
about the cucumber-vendor.

What an interesting girl.

Do you know her?

My camp is filled with
rough men.

You called Yodogimi over,
so I copied you

and called this
cucumber blossom here.

So this is what the
cucumber blossom looks like.

Don't take him for
granted. Excuse yourself.

You did something terrible.

Was I rude to him?

The wars will escalate
if he stays here.

We were thinking of a reason
to send him to Kyoto.

The game today was part of
our strategy.

Yet you exposed the fact that
we were just humoring him.

What can I do to correct
my mistake?

You'll have to stay here,
or would you deceive him?

But I only had to deliver
the letter to Lord Tokugawa!

Therefore, you must serve me or
your life will be in danger.

- But...
- What!

I can't serve
as a concubine.

Why not?

I have a disease.

What sort of disease?

I have a fit when
I approach men.

That's a strange disease.

All right. You may serve
as a man.

Someone! Bring a
change of clothes!

This person is dressed as a
woman but is in fact a man.

He'll be taking
care of me.

Sir Hon'ami Koetsu has
an urgent message.

Sir Koetsu!

Reporting.

Omandokoro
is in critical condition.

What?

The Regent has
returned to Kyoto.

Omandokoro passed away the
evening after Hideyoshi left.

Nene! Nene!

I said this is a tiger hunt!
Why don't you come and get me?

If you don't, this tiger
will eat you up!

Please do so...

Just do whatever you want.

Nene...

I was in charge in your absence
yet I lost your precious mother.

I just don't know
what to say...

Don't mention it.

I was an unfilial son...

Instead of being with her
in her last moments,

I was absorbed with a war
that she hated the most.

She said that you may not stop
fighting wars 'til you die.

She asked that I pray for
the departed souls

and discuss matters
with the Councilor.

I see.

So...she said to
ask Ieyasu...

She wanted the two brothers
to grow old peacefully.

My poor mother...

Ma, you must have been
lonely.

You must've been in pain...

You must've been mortified...

He constructed the Seiganji
Temple for his late mother,

and announced his plans
to build the Fushimi Castle.

But when he heard that the
Chinese army headed for Korea,

Hideyoshi went to Nagoya
that Autumn.

...what's most important is to
call a truce

before the Chinese army
attacks us.

I know!

But before that, we have
to change the tide of war.

The problem is...

What is the problem,
Councilor?

I am worried about
their supplies,

for they will be spending
bitter winters there.

First, we need ships.

The fate of our army rests
on our transport ships.

I told you to make
new ships, Kanbei!

I told them to rush,

but we needed 35,000 laborers
to construct Fushimi Castle.

The funds are being depleted...

Fool! We need that castle to
welcome their emissaries.

We can't have a castle
which may put us to shame!

Why not reassess this war
at this point?

But this will affect
the troops' morale

So don't tell anyone.

Yes.

Reporting!

There is an urgent letter
from your wife in Osaka!

Bring it.

Nene's letter reported an
important event,

which changed the course
of the war.

Chacha was pregnant again.

Regent?

...that's a lie.

What's wrong?

This is a lie. How can
I believe this?

Sire!

It says I'll have
a child again.

This may be
fate's trap.

This is happy news.
Congratulations!

There is a certain confidence
one feels

after misfortune passes
and a new day begins.

However, this may bring about
a certain uneasiness.

By New Years, 1592,
Hideyoshi was full of life.

I'm going to have a child again.
I'm not old yet!

I'll cross the ocean and
destroy the Chinese army!

However, the Chinese general,
Lee O Sho

combined forces with the Koreans
and attacked.

The situation grew
worse for the Japanese.

Didn't Sir Konishi Yukinaga
plan on negotiating peace?

But if even Konishi was
defeated by the Chinese,

our Regent would be put
to shame

and our generals will be thrown
into terribly bitter battles.

And how is
our Regent?

He says nothing will be
accomplished unless I go.

His hair has turned white.

What a time for
a child to be born.

Konishi Yukinaga suffered
a bitter defeat.

Ishida Mitsunari returned
that May

to plan a strategy to
reorganize the army.

Don't try to be polite.

Just tell me what you saw.

Then, I shall listen and
use that information

to discuss future plans
with the Regent.

I appreciate that.

Tell me.

All I can say is that more
wars will be a loss for us.

You and Konishi knew
that from the beginning...

All we wanted to do was
negotiate peace

which would be to
our advantage!

And what about the regiments
of Kato and Kobayakawa,

are they unaware of
the truth?

I have returned this time
to open a military conference.

I'll have to state the
reality of the situation.

And?

The generals regretted
having to retreat,

so they have reorganized, and
seized the Chinese castle.

Now is the time to negotiate
peace, and I have returned.

I understand.

The Regent knows that we
are at a disadvantage.

You know well that he won't
admit it openly.

Therefore...

Therefore, I suppressed my
feeling of shame

to come to discuss
this with you.

It's no time to be
talking of shame.

I shall accompany you
to see the Regent.

Please talk to him.

However...

We must avoid letting the
Regent make the wrong decision.

Therefore, everything in your
report must be absolutely true.

Keep this in mind.

These two agreed upon the
urgency of ending the war.

However, these two were to
be on opposing sides years later

at the decisive Battle
of Sekigahara.
