なされているので、確実に参り込んで居ると申し上げた。そこで最初からの十人の筒役（大砲役）は、林文右衛門・同五太夫・若松甚太夫・同次平・臼杵弥右衛門・有田幸太夫・来島左平太・四宮助太夫・平野宅助・村上藤九郎で、戸畑から上陸して早々に陸路から小倉へ密かに入り込むべきである。できるだけ秘密に行くことであるが、一両人ごとに鑓を一本ずつ持たせ、若松屋三右衛門方へ参るようにとの指示が来たので、早々に荷船から上がり、戸畑から小倉へ陸路で向かった。最初に仰せ付けられた右の十人は鑓五、六本を持たせて小倉へ向かい、同日未の時過ぎに大橋の脇の若松屋三右衛門方へ到着した。《割書：若松屋は筑前宿、来島治兵衛宅が定宿》喜多村弥治兵衛・久野善右衛門の指図で上下ともども旅籠を仰せ付けられた。筒役等が小倉へ入り込むと、喜多村弥治兵衛・久野善右衛門

は自分の乗船で船宿を大橋の下に泊めた。
一 外記殿が打ち払いを急がれているが、右の荷船に積み込んでいる大筒並びに諸道具が小倉へ回らないため、喜多村弥次兵衛・久野善右衛門から度々若松へ三好甚左衛門方へ申し来る。しかし日和が悪く、十四日まで若松簀口に泊船している。これにより十四日夜、喜多村・久野の指図で林五太夫・若松治平・平野宅助が今夜中に若松へ赴き、三好甚左衛門方へ申し談じ、今夜中に小倉へ諸道具を人夫に持参させるようにと申し付けられた。そこで三人は若松へ赴き、三好甚左衛門方で面談して申し伝えた。甚左衛門の申すには、あまりに御道具が延引しているので、吉田八太夫と申し談じ、今晩八時頃十八丁立てで大筒その他

has been done, so they certainly have arrived and are present, was reported. Therefore, the original ten artillery officers are: Hayashi Bun'emon, the same Gotayū, Wakamatsu Jintayū, the same Jihei, Usuki Yaemon, Arita Kōtayū, Kurushima Sahei, Shinomiya Suketayū, Hirano Takusuke, and Murakami Tōkurō. They were to disembark at Tobata and quickly enter Kokura secretly by land route. Since they were to travel as secretly as possible, they were given one spear per one or two men and instructed to go to Wakamatsunya San'emon's establishment. They quickly disembarked from the cargo ship and headed overland from Tobata to Kokura. The aforementioned ten men initially assigned were given five or six spears and headed to Kokura, arriving at Wakamatsunya San'emon's place by the side of Ōhashi bridge past the hour of the Monkey (around 3 PM) on the same day. 《marginal note: Wakamatsunya serves as Chikuzen lodging; Kurushima Jihē's residence is the regular inn》 Under instructions from Kitamura Yajibē and Kuno Zen'emon, both superiors and subordinates were assigned lodging. When the artillery officers entered Kokura, Kitamura Yajibē and Kuno Zen'emon

moored their own vessel as a boat inn under Ōhashi bridge.
One Although Geki-dono was pressing urgently for the repulsion, the large cannons and various equipment loaded on the aforementioned cargo ship had not reached Kokura, so Kitamura Yajibē and Kuno Zen'emon repeatedly sent messages to Miyoshi Jinzaemon's place in Wakamatsu. However, the weather was poor, and they remained moored at Wakamatsu Sunokuchi until the 14th. Consequently, on the night of the 14th, under instructions from Kitamura and Kuno, Hayashi Gotayū, Wakamatsu Jihei, and Hirano Takusuke were ordered to go to Wakamatsu that very night, consult with Miyoshi Jinzaemon, and arrange for porters to bring all the equipment to Kokura that same night. The three men then went to Wakamatsu, met face-to-face with Miyoshi Jinzaemon, and conveyed the message. Jinzaemon said that since the equipment had been delayed too long, he would consult with Yoshida Hachitayū and around 8 PM that evening would arrange for the large cannons and other items [to be transported] in an eighteen-chō formation.
