jan 1, 278 BC - warlords of Wa begin fortifications

Description:

Expecting a Shou Lung invasion, the warlords of Wa begin fortifying their coasts and constructing castles. The ninja Fukio is sent to Shou Lung to act as a spy for Wa.

-[Wa] Hearing reports that the King of the Western Lands is amassing a fleet, the Great Counselor of the Middle Nobunaga begins preparations for the defense of Wa. The master ninja Fukio is dispatched to Shou Lung to report and be ready to strike. The coastal cities are fortified and a grand program of castle building is begun. These activities all place huge demands on the Imperial Treasury, and Nobunaga in turn places more and more of the burden on the local chieftains (promising land and reward when the war is over).
