although this is a digression

Before departure to territory of the Utsu family,Kinjiro disposed of their property in order to cover development costs. 
Of course,financial assistance from the Odawara clan as development costs.
It was present.

This act of Kinjiro.

"I want to live like him."
He might have modeled "Wen Tianxiang". (文天祥)


・・・・・・・・・
 

13 century,Tianxiang was a man of end stage of "the Southern Song dynasty" of China. (南宋)
The Southern Song had been attacked from "the Yuan dynasty" at that time.(元)

The Southern Song dynasty was on the verge of destruction.
Even when such a situation,politicians of the Southern Song dynasty had continued factional fighting.

Tianxiang passed summa cum laude in imperial examinations.
But he did not unflattering to those in power.
He was unfortunate for it in the political world of the Southern Song dynasty.

When the Yuan army was coming close to capital,he was the governor of the region.
 
"Seek the armies of loyalism."
Such a imperial edict was issued from emperor of the Southern Song dynasty.
He responded to this call.
 
He persuaded the influential people of the surrounding and collected a soldier. 
At that time,he got rid of his all property as a war chest. 

And He fought against the Yuan army and made brilliant military gains.
 
But hopelessly outnumbered.
The Southern Song army went at bay gradually.

Struggle of factions still continued.
Senior officials that did escape.
It also appeared.

Tianxiang was caught in the Yuan army finally.
The Southern Song dynasty was destruction.


・・・・・・・・・
 
 
People who respect him in the Yuan dynasty.
They had increased as it turns out his personality.
(Including the emperor Kublai.)

But he turned down the recommendation of the officers of the Yuan dynasty.
And he hoped the death.

The Yuan dynasty tried to help him somehow.

"Please live.
We hope it only."
They were conceded so far.

"I want to show that there is loyalty in this world.
Please kill me as a vassal of the Southern Song dynasty."

The Yuan empire killed him finally as vassal of loyalty of the Southern Song dynasty.
