different warring states of japan

Chapter 1059 Sanada Old Fox

The storms inside and outside the shogunate continued, Ashikaga Yoshiki's survivors, shogunate ministers, and local powerful factions wrestled secretly.Powerful names such as the Miyoshi family, the Liujia family, and the Asai family are also deeply involved.

A few days ago, Ashikaga Yoshiaki went to Hokuriku to seek help from the Asakura family.And at the western end of Tōkaidō, the Oda family, a new rising force, also cast a peep at the recent chaos.

Time goes by, autumn goes and winter comes.In this long winter, many things will happen.

Turning my attention back to Kanto from recent days, just before and after the general was killed, Kanto also completed a big battle that shook the original balance.

The Hojo family defeated the Sano leader, and the defense strategy of the Echigo army collapsed across the board.

There is still a long time before the first snowfall, and Hojo Ujiyasu tried every means to prevent Uesugi Terutora from launching another offensive, trying to survive until the middle of winter, so that the Hojo family had a chance to regroup.

But those Kanto samurai who dared to hate the Hojo family and dared not speak out would never let her pass the test easily.

Hojo Shiyasu's reforms violated too many interests of high-ranking samurai.In particular, her new tax system prevents nobles from extorting their own territories.Be kind to the grassroots and weaken the noble family.

The benevolent government of the four publics and the six people made the Hojo family supported by the lower-level villages.The famous families in the Kanto region did not dare to oppose it publicly, and were forced to boil frogs in warm water, gradually losing control over the grassroots.

This time Hojo's defeat made them finally wait for the perfect opportunity to break free from the shackles of the Hojo family.

The Satomi family in the Boso Peninsula and the Satake family in Hitachi began to attack the local samurai family who took refuge in the Hojo family.In the name of supporting Uesugi Terutoro, he seeks his own interests.

The samurai families of Shimoso Shimono and Ryogoku, who are close to the Hojo family's sphere of influence, broke away from the Hojo family's ruling system and took a bite back.

The Hojo family has been reduced to street rats that everyone shouts and beats in the Kanto plains. Countless samurai have turned their faces and raised their troops in awe, and put them under the command of Terotora Uesugi, the leader of the Kanto, to bring order out of chaos.

Teruhu Uesugi was embraced by the Kanto samurai who discovered his conscience. In an instant, there were more than [-] troops, and his every move made Kanto look sideways.

As the main battlefield of the Hojo family and the Echigo army, the situation between Ueno Musashi and the two countries is more complicated.

As an ally of Uesugi Terutora, Nagano Yezheng immediately got the military situation of Sano leading the battle.

She made a decisive decision and raised her troops to the south.Together with the second daughter-in-law Kobata Jingding, they will drive out the eldest daughter-in-law Kobata Nobusada from Kunimine City, and eliminate hidden dangers in Nishi Ueno.

Nobata Nobusada, who was expelled from the country, had no choice but to pass through the Usui Pass, and went to Ishijo, a national household in Shinano, to seek refuge with Yukitaka Sanada, who had a good relationship.

In Hushi City, Xiaoban Xinzhen, who ran away in embarrassment, had already bathed and changed, and was sitting in the tea room.

She had no intention of admiring the tea ceremony performed by the tea master, and stayed until the end of the performance, taking a sip of the tea offered by the tea master in front of her, feeling depressed.

After Sanada Yutaka rewarded the tea master, he dismissed her, and said to Kobata Nobuya with a smile.

"What? Xiao Banji is dissatisfied with this tea master's craftsmanship? Presumably she is too. Jiaxin Mountain is poor, and it is true that there are no good tea masters."

Kobata Nobuzhen smiled wryly.

"Master Sanada, please don't tease me. You know, I don't have such thoughts now."

Sanada Yukitaka said solemnly.

"I'm not teasing you, but I hope you calm down first.

When people are excited, it is easy to make decisions that they regret.No matter how serious the situation is, the first thing you need to do is to take a deep breath and calm yourself to face reality. "

Xiao Banxin said bitterly.

"How can you calm me down?

I have always been respectful to my mother-in-law, and if there is anything wrong with Minlun City, I will do my best to help.

But what about her?To join forces with Xiaofan Jingding to expel me, Xiaofan's family supervisor, is simply revenge! "

Sanada Yutaka shook his head and said.

"You have to understand Nagano's painstaking efforts, she has nothing to do.

I have heard about the situation of the Sano collar battle. The strength of the Echigo army far exceeds the imagination of the Kanto princesses.

Eight thousand against twenty thousand, the Hojo family had the advantage but ended in a disastrous defeat.Countless famous generals and veterans in the family died in battle, and none of the elite five-color equipment was spared, and all of them were lost in battle.

Now that the situation in Kanto has become clear, anti-Hojo samurai from all over the country have finally found a strong backbone, and His Royal Highness Uesugi's sweeping Kanto is unstoppable.

If Mr. Nagano doesn't take the lead in cleaning up the pro-Hojo family forces in Nishi Ueno, it will be too late for His Royal Highness Uesugi to do it.

She just expelled you, one didn't kill your life, and two didn't touch your family, she still missed the old love.

This matter must also be done for Xiaoban's family in Guofeng City, so Xiaoban Jing will definitely cooperate with Mr. Nagano.

Winners and losers, you were on the wrong team, and the Nishi Ueno Nationalists had to stop losses in time. What do you have to complain about? "

Xiao Ban Xinzhen hummed twice and said nothing, she understood the reason, but the feeling of losing power was really hard.

The Kohata family in Kunimine City and the Nagano family in Minawa City echo each other from the north to the south, and both are the leaders of the Nishi Ueno Kingdom.Such a prominent family business belongs to someone else overnight, who can bear it?
Family affection, reality, and helplessness, even if there are ten thousand reasons, they still cannot extinguish the wild fire in Xiaoban Nobuzhen's heart, and her power has been taken away.

she said grumpily.

"Master Sanada, you and I have known each other for a long time, I understand what you said, but please understand my feelings.

I have one request, please introduce His Highness Takeda Harunobu for me, I want to serve in the Takeda family. "

Kotaka Sanada looked at her, knowing that Nobuya Kobata wanted to use the power of the Takeda family to return to Nishi Ueno.

If she had come a year earlier, Sanada Kotaka would have made it happen, pulling Takeda Harunobu's attention from Tōkaidō to the Kanto Plain.

The roots of the Sanada family are in Toshin, and no matter how much benefits the Takeda family gets from Tokaido, they will not give it to the Sanada family. The greedy Kai Takeda family does not have enough for themselves.

If the Sanada family wants to become a big business, they have to find a way to pull Takeda Harunobu's strategic focus back to Shinano country and put it on the side of Ueno country.

But at this time, Sanada Xinglong's mentality completely changed.This year, Nobushige Sanada gave her too many surprises.

If it is said that Sanada Nobushige invested in the Kanto Chamber and was rewarded by Shiba Yoshihiro Matsushiro Ichigoku, this is Sanada Yutaka's strategy of betting on both sides.

Then the successful completion of the Raiders of Agatsuma County, Sanada Nobushige's outstanding performance in the Sano lead battle.The balance in Sanada Yutaka's heart has completely tilted towards this blockbuster little granddaughter.

Sanada Nobushige's outstanding military exploits ensured that she could win the Zhixing District of Azuma County after the war. The lord of Sanada Matsushiro is already a great name of Wanshi.

Sanada Nobushige's title came from the Kanto Chamberlain, which was recognized by the shogunate.Compared with the daimyo claimed by the local samurai, the gold content is several levels higher.

Before Kobata Nobusada came, Sanada Yukitaka had already received a letter from Sanada Nobushige's military adviser, Unano Toshiichi, vaguely mentioning that Sanada Nobushige's next target was Nishi Ueno.

Even Yukitaka Sanada, who has always been calm, was taken aback by the courage of this little granddaughter.She had a long look at Shu, and she dared to covet Xi Ueno to deal with Nagano Yezheng's Ueno mother-in-law party.

Nagano Yezheng relied on his many sons and good marriages, and used marriages to build a tight marriage network in Ueno and even Kanto.

Terutoro Uesugi was worried about what he wanted to do to her, let alone the fledgling Nobushige Sanada.

However, the letter mentioned that Nagano Karmasa was old, and Sanada Yukitaka instantly understood what these juniors wanted to do. They were planning to use their lives to kill Nagano Karmasa.

Sanada Yukitaka was also moved when he thought of Nagano Yasho's eldest daughter who died in the Kawagoe night battle, and the youngest daughter who could not accept the status quo of Minowa.The arrival of Xiaoban Xinzhen gave her a little new idea.

Sanada Yutaka took a sip of the teacup, and he had already made up his mind to disturb Huang Xiaofan's desire to join the Takeda family and lead her to Sanada Nobushige.

The Kohata family of Kunizine Castle is a famous Nishi Ueno family known as the twin females along with the Nagano family of Minowa Castle.With the help of Nobusada Kobata, the former governor, Nobushige Sanada's future is really exciting.

Moreover, Kobata Nobusada is the eldest daughter-in-law of Nagano Yasho, and what happened to her is a kind of vigilance for Ueno's wives.

With this proof, all the daughters-in-law of Ueno Karmasa will have a lump in their hearts.When needed, will this majestic and wise mother-in-law abandon herself for the sake of the overall situation?

Kobata Nobuzhen didn't know that Sanada Yutaka had already priced her in his heart, and was going to fool her into a trap.

She anxiously looked at Sanada Kotaka who lowered his head in thought, and said.

"Master Sanada, if you are willing to introduce me, I will never forget your kindness, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Sanada Yutaka shook his head with a sincere face.

"Xiao Banji, my family was in decline and I had no choice but to flee to Nishi Ueno. You don't despise my shabby settlement, and you became a close friend with me. I have always been grateful.

Getting you a referral is not a problem, but is it really doing you any good? "

Kohata Nobusada was taken aback for a moment, looking at Sanada Yutaka's sincere eyes, he couldn't help hesitating.

Sanada Yutaka is well-known for her strategy among the three tribes of Shiye. She returned to Dongshin just a few years ago, and became the leader of the Takeda clan's believers.

Her persuasion made Xiao Ban Xinzhen unavoidably reflect, did she make the wrong choice?

Takeda Harunobu, a generation of female masters, led the Takeda family to fight in the north and south, and their power was at its peak.I want to use the power of the Takeda family to return to Nishi Ueno, is there anything wrong with that?

Kobata Nobusada bowed and said.

"I don't understand something, please enlighten me, Mr. Sanada."

Sanada Yutaka helped her up and said with a sigh.

"Family ugliness should not be publicized. I shouldn't have mentioned these things. But you and I have known each other for many years, and we are not outsiders. I am willing to speak frankly.

His Highness Takeda had a bloody battle with Echigo's army on Kawanakajima last year. Neither side could find a bargain, and finally each took a step back and reached a compromise.

This year, the Takeda family's record is indeed dazzling, defeating the Imagawa family, preventing the Hojo family from retreating, and swallowing the Suruga country.

However, the Takeda family rose from Kai, and treated them with tolerance and generosity.Shinano Clan and Suruga Clan are inferior to others, and they all have some bad emotions.

After His Highness Takeda conquered the Suruga country in the spring, he had no new moves. He was also dragged down by family discord and unable to open up to the outside world.

If Xiaobanji wants to serve in the Takeda family, I have no problem recommending you, and His Highness Takeda will certainly welcome you.

But if you want to rely on the strength of the Takeda family to return to Nishi Ueno, you are afraid of the future. . "

Sanada Yutaka hesitated to speak, and sighed, seemingly sincerely thinking about Obata Nobusada, but in fact it was half-truth and half-false.

There are indeed internal conflicts in the Takeda family.

Kai is a small country with few people. Takeda Haru believed that Ji Hiroshi had a great strategy, and took most of the land of Shinano and Suruga with a small amount.

The Kai people hold their merits high, and they have contempt for the samurai from Shinano and Suruga, and their behavior is harsh, which has indeed caused many conflicts.

But with Takeda Harunobu's wisdom, it is not a problem to suppress these contradictions.The contradiction of external expansion and output is also the best way to resolve internal problems.

Therefore, it is true that there are conflicts within the Takeda family, and it is false that the contradictions are so strong that they affect the Takeda family's external expansion.At least until the death of Takeda Harunobu, the internal conflicts of the Takeda family will not affect the strategy.

The real reason why Takeda Harunobu didn't take advantage of the chaos in Kanto to seek more benefits is actually very simple, because she was pregnant and gave birth to confinement.

Shiba Yoshigin's spirit was far more ferocious than the men in the female world, and even Takeda Harunobu, who had excellent physical fitness, couldn't bear it.

After the Spring War, she lay down in Junfu City, unable to move.After giving birth, it took a long time to cultivate before recovering.

Takeda Harunobu had to deal with the Hojo family and the Tokugawa family externally, and he had to deal with the Kai and Suruga families internally, so he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the Kanto war situation and seek benefits.

But the outside world is unclear, why did the Takeda family stand still?The fact that Harunobu Takeda raped Shiba Yoshigin and gave birth to a child was a big scandal in the Takeda family, and all of Takeda's retainers who knew about it were silent.

Takeda Harunobu is astute and flexible.This time it was unexpectedly stubborn, and she must give birth to this child.

While the high-level members of the Takeda family panicked, they couldn't compete with Takeda Harunobu, the formidable family governor.They can only keep their mouths shut and hope that this matter can be concealed.Don't let the outside world know the truth.

Shiba Yoshigin is currently the Imperial Commander of General Ashikaga. He was raped and gave birth to an evil seed. This scandal is enough to ruin the Takeda family.

The Wutian family wanted to hide it, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. This incident happened in Yantian City, under the noses of so many warriors who participated in the battle.

As long as they know the strange story of Takeda Harunobu adopting a baby girl, and calculate the pregnancy cycle in October, some smart people can make a rough guess.

Sanada Yutaka was one of them, and she also lamented the fame of Takeda Harunobu I, maybe it would be ruined by this matter.

Of course, she, an old fox, would not gossip. Instead, she used the fact that Harunobu Takeda was inconvenient to move to induce Nobata Nobusada to make a misjudgment, so that she could give up her idea of ​​serving the Takeda family.

After hearing Sanada Yutaka's explanation, Kobata Nobusada's expression turned ugly.She originally thought that the Takeda family was a good way out, but now it seems that this idea is naive.

The Takeda family had internal disagreements and had no intention of continuing to expand externally.This news was a blow to her, but she still had the confidence to persuade Takeda Harunobu to send troops to Nishi Ueno.

What really disappointed her was the attitude of Kaizhong to the outside world.Even the Shinanos and the Kais, who were the first samurai to take refuge in the Takeda family, were unwilling to give them some benefits. What do you count?
Even if Kobata Nobusada helps the Takeda family to acquire Nishi Ueno, the Nishi Ueno people can only be second-class under the Kai people. How can the Kobata family in Kunimine City explain to the disappointed Nishi Ueno people?
