The Sended's

Chapter 21: Change is Hard to do, yet a Must for Greater Good

Right after the Empire's defeat in the North first, the Emperor's soldiers returned to all corners of the country leaving him with no more power to stop the massive wave of open rebellion

But the rebellion flared up before the Yamato troops reached the island, so there they had no veteran soldiers experienced in modern warfare

Therefore the Hojo clan imposed a Sakoku policy which meant the country was locked, no one could enter and no one could get out

They used the Empire's longest technology and formed an army back from scratch without knowing the modern military concept, they seemed very vulnerable to being conquered

It was true that attacking them would certainly be very easy, but if you wanted to master Yamato, maybe some people would have to think a few times

First, the invaders needed enough navy at least to escort the troops there. At this first point alone many had failed to possess it, even the Yui clan as the strongest clan in the Ming mainland

The second is about the spoils of war, on the island of Yamato there are no natural resources for the purposes of modern industry, everything has been dredged down by the West when the Eastern Empire was still helpless

Also mining this natural resource even though it has been closed for years, the impact is still very pronounced for example making a lot of land so infertile

But even if it was like that, Ryuu still wanted to attack Hojo and conquer Yamato island

《Ryuu POV Start》

In a few weeks, this plan may be implemented....

"Emperor, we beg you to attend the meeting which will be held in a few minutes,"

"Yes, I'll come" I replied

The bigger my territory, the more problems I have to face. Even so, I began to rarely say words during meetings

It was because of my position that my people began to look up to so much that my voice was now considered to be the voice of a God who was too great

"The construction of the transport ship is already at its limit, if it is multiplied again, then there is not enough space for the fishermen,"

"But these ships are our original plan, if stopping the construction might not be achieved!!"

"Our ships are more than enough to use against Hojo!!"

"There are not enough words for the Emperor!! Are you insulting him!?"

"Without the people, there is no Emperor!! Hence....

Emperor, give your orders," the senior pleaded in the meeting room

Everyone there also knelt down and waited for my voice to come out

"It has been a long time since people from outside Yamato have been able to enter the island, so provide a boat for spies to scout, and then send a ship to study the geographical conditions of the coastal section

Then about the construction of the ship, how much have we made?" much

"Well, the ship we have now reached the number twenty" replied the official who supported the addition of the ship

Twenty huh? Means only about 12,000 soldiers I can carry, the comparison is quite far with the Hojo clan with the Hojo army. But....

"Alright, we will not add any more ships, instead begin the formation of an army in Goryeo. In a few days, we start this operation, that's the order I give you,"

"All right!!"

I named it, Operation Reconquista, reconquest

This name I took from a period in my former world. Where on the Iberian peninsula once stood kingdoms that were eventually conquered by Muslims

The established Muslim kingdom was also eventually reconquered by the Christians at the behest of the Pope known as the Reconquista or reconquest

This conquest began in the 8th century, which ended in the late 15th century, or before the discovery of the American continent

After this operation, I have prepared the next plan that will be led by Kyouka,

Renaissance operations is its name

It means renewal, is a period of cultural movement that developed from medieval to modern times in continental Europe

This period lasted from the 14th century to the 17th century

I sighed as I lay on a very comfortable bed in my room, ever since I became Emperor I started a luxurious life in the palace

Unknowingly I fell asleep during the day exhausted from the plan to subjugate Yamato, Operation Reconquista

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the ceiling of my room I used to see when I woke up. Only now did I realize that I was asleep

"Are you awake, Ryuu?" get in my room

"Kyouka? Yeah, what's up?"

"It's about the problems in the West, border towns lack resources because the troops there are blackmailing them" he said, looking at a piece of paper

"I understand" I got up and stood up, and walked out of the bed

"R-ryuu? W-what are you going to do like that?" kyouka said while covering her eyes using her hands

"uh? What-what-you mean" my sentence was cut off after looking at my body from the mirror that was only wearing underwear

I remembered that this afternoon I wanted to cool my head and body so as to remove all of the Emperor's extremely hot clothes

But isn't a girl who sees another girl's body ordinary? I mean, when they're done exercising, don't they change clothes together?

"Why really? What the hell, you're actually a man?" ask me to be surprised

"Where is it!!? I'm a girl, my name is also Kyouka in my old life!!" Kyouka opened her eyes and showed a reddened face

"really? I was a man before so. yeah." I said as I walked towards the wardrobe.

"-you... are actually a man!?", Kyouka retreated slightly in shock at this statement

"Yes, that's how it is" I answered while wearing the clothes that were in my closet

He still did not believe this, but he would have to believe it anyway because the truth was like that

The city on the Western border lacked resources because the troops there were blackmailing them, which I think is only natural because the soldiers are less disciplined, we only need to discipline them

But I also need to send enough resources to the troops and people there, and also definitely someone who can discipline them

Case closed....

"Then in the South, the food warehouse is full and needs an update, the problem is that the update requires a process so want to be flanked by materials produced during the process?" ask Kyouka

"It flapped?" reply to ask Kyouma for advice

"Eh? Umm. may be distributed to the people who are destitute" he replied

"Do what you want, you come here when the problem is like it happened in the West, if like in the South, can't you take care of it?"

Kyouka was silent for a moment, she then lowered her head and started to say seriously

"Ryuu, actually.. I thought that, I might be able to help you in world domination, I. I. want to be with you on the battlefield, and defeat the enemy there, I, then create peace with you!!" cry Kyouka

"Hmm? So, have you decided to kill people?"

"That's.... Aye! I've seen many people die miserable in this world, then I realize that we need to kill for the greater good, peace."

Well.it shouldn't be so, but if he can't kill, maybe during his next reincarnation, he'll have a hard time

"Alright, I'll give you a special mission in the fight against the Hojo tomorrow,"

"Eh? What'sthat?" ask him again

"Come here in a week, now go to the South to take care of the development" I said

"Yes, I'll see you later" he replied and left me alone

Now, I'd better go outside the palace and make contact with my people. I don't really want to be considered a God or anything like that one day

《Kyouka POV Start》

I can't believe I said that to Ryuu, but I'm ready for this

What is he planning for me next week....?

"Miss, everyone is ready to wait for orders" said a servant to me

I live in a building adjacent to Ryuu's large palace, here I can work better with some of my men

"Yes, leave at any time" I replied

Now I'm in a horse-drawn carriage to the capital's train station. From there I'll take the train and head south

This trip is quite facilitated by the train that was just completed a few months ago. With Ryuu's new policy, the country is advancing in all fields

Ryuu is more concerned with the people than his selfishness to rule the world. He said it would be troublesome if the people were angry

Even though I didn't study history like Ryuu, everyone should understand what that means

The first time I was at the station, I saw crowds everywhere. That is because the transportation tool in the form of this train is still new so many people want to try it

Moreover, the track is long and fast, so it attracts the attention of many people to scramble for seats

I got a special seat inside that carriage that was in the front carriage with the other nobles

Here I saw three people who seemed to be sad, two adults and one little girl

"Anu, if I may know, what's wrong?" I approached them and asked

"We booked three tickets to the South, but only got two, the officer was not responsible for this because we thought we lost the ticket,"

I see, I think the officer did a good job, but the error was in the booking section

Corruption like this according to Ryuu is reasonable because the country is still not fully stable, what can be done only makes severe punishment for corruptors

"What if you come with me?" I looked at the little girl with a smile

"Then you can use those two tickets" I continued

They agreed to do this despite being a bit worried as parents, but after I explained who I was, they immediately allowed the little girl to come with me to the front carriage

We sat in rows talking about what he had been doing all this time

"I don't know your name yet, my name is Kyouka"

"W..-"

"Fu?"

"Fumino" he answered

"Well Fumino, where do you live?"

Many questions I asked him to make him feel comfortable, not once did he ask me back

At least this trip is not too boring because of the existence of this Fumino

"Sister, are you working for the Emperor?" ask him while looking at me

"Yes you are right, I take care of the people's matters and deal with them with the Emperor's permission" I replied

"Well! cool, I want to be like big brother!" said Fumino while looking at me with sparkling eyes

I remember my sister Kei, she was now at school in the capital after I picked her up last month

Finally he got off at the station before my destination station, he hugged his parents at the station and waved to me as the train walked again

I have a job to complete anyway, the next stop is the last. That's where the construction will be done
