different warring states of japan

Chapter 1378

The cost of living of the mountain people is directly related to whether the Takeda family's rule in Kai and Shinano is stable or not.

Prices in Shinano were soaring, but Takeda Shingen didn't feel any changes in prices in Kai Kingdom. This made her instantly understand who was making profits behind her back.

The distribution market of the Tokaido trade route is in the Suruga country. The three rivers, Enjiang, and Suruga countries along the way are the core sections of the trade route. These three countries used to be the territory of the Imagawa family.

In the heyday of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Owari country was completely suppressed by her.The mother of Oda Nobunaga, who rose at this stage, actually relied on the Owari country's business circle to grow, and had no hindrance to the Tokaido trade route.

Recently, caravans have left Zhangguo, and then passed through the Three Kingdoms of Jinchuan to the distribution market in Junfu City.

At that time, the Takeda family allied with the Imagawa family was attacking the Shinano country, and the Hojo family was attacking the Kanto Plain, and both needed a lot of material support.

The Imagawa family, which was behind these two, used the Tokaido trade route to trade with the two allies.The Takeda family has Koshu gold, and the Hojo family has Izu gold. They are all high-rollers with gold mines at home.

As a result, Imagawa Yoshimoto made a lot of war fortune and accumulated a lot of wealth relying on the Tokaido trade route. She also standardized the family system through the implementation of the Imagawa pseudonym catalogue, which can be called an excellent internal affairs.

It's a pity that she was really unlucky, when she was at her most powerful and high-spirited, she was killed by Oda Nobunaga Hirohime in a surprise attack in Ozaza, and lost the possibility of further becoming a big business.

When Imagawa Yoshimoto died in battle, a group of cronies died along with him, completely burying the core group of the Imagawa family. This is the reason why the heir, the Imagawa family, couldn't hold back the situation and the Imagawa family quickly weakened.

Warrior Ji is selfish and bullies the weak, and the warrior family is a feudal warlord system that lacks institutional construction, and the regime is extremely unstable.

The family business often collapses quickly after the death of the British lord and a large number of core ruling groups. This is why the samurai sighs the cherry blossoms and feels sorry for themselves. Both of them rise and fall suddenly and cannot last long.

Speaking of today's Tokaido, Tokugawa Ieyasu occupied the two countries of Mikawa and Enjiang, and the Takeda family took over the Suruga country.

Caravan logistics is the most risk-averse economic activity. The chaos in the Tokaido allowed Shiba Yoshigin's Hokuriku Road trade route to take advantage of the trend and robbed a large number of markets.

With more caravans traveling the Hokuriku Road, the Tokaido Road will naturally be less, and business profits and taxes will drop rapidly, which is not good for Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen.

So Takeda Noburen came to ask, and wanted Anayama Nobukun to come forward to communicate with the Tokugawa family. The two sides tried their best to maintain the stability of the business route, and Takeda Shingen agreed without thinking too much.

The Takeda and Tokugawa families will inevitably decide a winner in the future, but this does not affect making money together now, who can have a grudge against money?
But when Kosaka Masanobu told Takeda Shingen that domestic prices in Shinano had exploded and the Shinano people were very dissatisfied, her hesitant appearance immediately made Takeda Shingen react.

Domestic prices in Kai are stable, but prices in Shinano are soaring. This must be the fault of the Kai people.

Nobukun Anayama got on the train first and then paid for the ticket. This bastard must have colluded with Tokugawa Ieyasu long ago to jointly smuggle.Now even Noburen Takeda has been dragged into the water as a lobbyist, which is already a big deal.

Takeda Shingen also had some regrets, he paid too much attention to the child Rena, and did not have enough control over the situation in Suruga, so it was really a mistake to let Takeda Noburen and Anayama Nobukun fool him.

The Kai people have always regarded themselves as conquerors. Takeda Shingen's kindness to the Huairou Shinano people and the attitude of the Suruga people have long made the Kai people uncomfortable.

Today, the semi-independent Anayama Nobukun is active in the Suruga country, smuggling goods from the two Tokaido countries controlled by the Tokugawa family, and then entering the Shinano country through his own territory on the border of Suruga Kai.

She has made a lot of money, and she will definitely bring Kai all together to eat meat and share the guilt.Takeda Noburen, the leader of a group of leaders, was dragged into the water, let alone others, everyone must have a share.

Anyway, it is the Shinano people who are the scourge. They don't even have a little psychological burden, and the conquered deserve to be exploited.

However, Takeda Shingen had to face a difficult situation. The price of Shinano soared, the local samurai were dissatisfied, and the rule of the Takeda family was already unstable.

But she couldn't get rid of the bastard Anayama Nobukun, not to mention her status as a congregation, semi-independent master, just this matter itself, Takeda Shingen is not easy to talk about it in the open.

Because the law does not blame the public, because family ugliness cannot be publicized.

Anayama Nobukun smuggles, Takeda Noburen pleads for mercy, how many clean ones can there be in the entire Kai people?Revealing this matter will only make the Shinano people more resentful, which is not conducive to ruling the Shinano country.

Moreover, the Kai people are the foundation of the Takeda family, and it is impossible for Takeda Shingen to push all the Kai people to the opposite side for a little money.

Without the basic board of the Kai people, what leverage does Takeda Shingen have to control the Shinano and Suruga people and make them obedient?
However, Takeda Shingen can't just watch the Kais bully the Shinanos. If she pretends to be deaf and dumb, the conflict between the Shinanos and the Kais will intensify, and the Takeda family will have no future.

The stone height of Kai country is only more than [-]. To be able to take down the Shinano and Suruga countries with a small amount, that is the superb method of Takeda Shingen.

Although Shinano was big, the local samurai family was divided into Zhongxin, Nanxin, Dongxin, and Beixin, each of whom fought against each other. Only then was Takeda Shingen combined vertically and horizontally to take down one by one.

The Suruga people have the same reasoning.

The Imakawa family sits in the Three Kingdoms of the Tokaido. After the death of Imakawa Yoshimoto, the family business was in turmoil, and the Mikawa Kingdom had another rebellious minister, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Takeda Shingen and Tokugawa Ieyasu joined forces to carve up Suruga and Enjiang.

The Suruga people were not so much conquered by the Takeda family, as it was because the Imagawa family declined and the trees fell and the hozen scattered.The Suruga people were persuaded by Takeda Shingen's diplomatic war, and turned their backs to follow the new master.

Therefore, Takeda Shingen seems to be fierce, but her core group, Kaizhong, did not overwhelm the strength of Shinano and Suruga, and the process of conquest was actually very tricky.

But these mountain people in Jiafei are short-sighted and think they are powerful.They are unwilling to treat the subjugated people kindly, and let Takeda Shingen treat the newcomers kindly to the policy of winning people's hearts, which is always unfavorable.

The more the ruling class can absorb the elite of the ruled class, the more stable its rule will be.

The samurai family is inherently conservative, and they like small groups to form groups for profit, and the mountain people are even more conservative, and there are fierce conflicts in the countryside.

Takeda Shingen has been working hard in the direction of mutual benefit and win-win, but Kaizhong has been obstructing the efforts of the family governor out of consideration of their own interests.

Takeda Shingen, who can't change the nature of the samurai, has nothing to do about it.

Perhaps the only samurai daimyo who can break through the limitations of the narrow nature of the islanders and expand their power infinitely are the unscrupulous Oda Nobunaga and Shiba Yoshigin who has a cross-age thinking.

The former is not afraid of getting into trouble, while the latter has a big brain. In a sense, these two people are really a pair of psychopaths made in heaven.

Takeda Shingen suffers because of her disadvantages. Although she is very smart and has means, she is still too traditional and normal.

Therefore, she can see through the disadvantages of Kai's reckless actions, but she cannot completely reverse this bad trend.

Takeda Shingen asked with a sigh.

"Is there any news from the messenger you sent to Echigo?"

Kosaka Masanobu didn't expect Takeda Shingen to suddenly change the subject and talk about this matter first, but he still nodded.

"Human has been accepted by the Echigo side and is on his way to Kasugayama Castle.

It's just that Uesugi-sama suddenly turned against us and joined the Hojo family. I don't know if she is willing to accept my family's kindness. "

Takeda Shingen pinched Rena's little face, seeing her angry look, he couldn't help showing a loving smile.

"I never expected Uesugi Terutoro to change his mind, this time I sent you to deal with the affairs of the Higashishin congregation in order to give Tsutaden an explanation.

The key to harmony between Takeda and Uesugi's family does not lie in Uesugi Terutora, but in Jintaden.

I think Uesugi Terutora should have known about Rena's life experience, so he turned against me desperately. "

Masanobu Kosaka said nervously.

"Ah! Then...that...you already know about Jin Dadian?"

Takeda Shingen shook his head and said.

"I don't know, but I'm guessing that Jintaden doesn't know he's having a daughter. My gut tells me Terotora Uesugi wouldn't want to let Jintaden know about it.

Jin Duodian's temperament is too affectionate, no one can be sure what he will do if he knows that he has such a daughter.

The Eastern Believers provoked Nishi Ueno, and the response from Jindaden was to calm down. He was unwilling to intensify the conflict with me, which was based on political considerations.

I judged that Uesugi Terutora didn't dare to bet on Tsutaden's reaction, and would have chosen to conceal him, so he didn't immediately send troops to conquer me.

She was waiting for Jin Duodian to leave Kanto and return to recent days. "

Kosaka Masanobu looked at Takeda Shingen and said worriedly.

"My lord, you are in a difficult situation now, why don't you tell Jin Dadian about Reina.

Since he values ​​friendship so much, for the sake of the child, he won't just look at you. . "

Takeda Shingen resolutely interrupted without waiting for her to finish.

"no!
Chang Xin, I've used shameless means to keep his blood, how can I ask for more?
I am also a shameless woman, let me use my child as a bargaining chip to beg for mercy from the man I insulted?
So am I still a person? "

Takeda Shingen looked at Rena, his eyes were full of love, his pupils were slightly dilated, and he seemed to think of that person's face from Rena's face.

She gently stroked Reina's face and said lightly.

"I'm sorry, Changshin, I know you mean well, but I can't do it.

I have been full of wit in my life, so many people say that I am cold-blooded and ruthless, and can be used for anything.But only Linnai, only this love, I want to cherish it.

Uesugi Terotora is jealous of me, I got a treasure that she has never been able to chase, and now she wants to destroy me and Rena.

The Hojo Clan had seized power just now, but his position was unstable.

She did not dare to disobey Jindadian's imperial order for peace in the Kanto region, and she is actively dealing with the Oda family at the moment, intending to cut my flesh and stabilize her position.

The Oda Tokugawa alliance is far closer than I imagined.Tokugawa Ieyasu is tolerant, and she can serve Oda Nobunaga's temperament, and she is also a powerful person.

Anayama Nobukun and those people are hooking up with her, and I have to find a way to teach Kai a lesson in Suruga Country.

Everyone says that I am heroic and powerful. I am a weak country with Kai, and I swallow the two countries of Shinano and Suruga.

But what about the facts?I have already been surrounded on all sides, and I don't know if I can break this knot.

Uesugi, Hojo, Oda, Tokugawa, it really makes me a little proud to think that these heroes of the world are my enemies. "

Kosaka Masanobu saw that Takeda Shingen could not be persuaded, pursed his lips, looked at Rena who looked at his mother excitedly, and said.

"My lord, with you here, the Wutian family is naturally as stable as Mount Tai, and no one can shake it.

But in the future, what should Reina do?
Takeda Noburen may not have the intention to collude with the Tokugawa family, but Anayama Nobukun dares to join hands with Tokugawa Ieyasu in smuggling today, and he will in the future. . "

Takeda Shingen sneered.

"Only relying on her to point to Shan Xinjun?

Unless Takeda's family is in dire straits, I don't think she would have the guts to do so.When the day comes, I will naturally fulfill my wish and entrust Rena to Jin Dadian.

I'd like to see if she, Nobu-kun Anayama, has the guts to harm Jintaden's blood and send Reina to Oda Tokugawa, thinking that she can change her family. "

Kosaka Masanobu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Takeda Shingen is proud, he is not stubborn.Linnai has a layer of noble blood guarantee, unless Jin Duodian denies this child, no one dares to mess around.

Let alone Anayama Nobukun, even Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, how dare they casually harm Shiba Yoshigin's child?
As long as Takeda Shingen doesn't stick to his death, one day the situation is not right and he chooses to expose Rena's life experience, the child's safety should be fine.One big and one small, at least one can be kept.

Takeda Shingen glanced at Kosaka Masanobu, and couldn't help but annoyed.

"Is that why you dislike me?

I sent people to Echigo to let Jindadian suppress Terutora Uesugi and continue to maintain the tacit understanding of non-aggression between the two sides.

As long as Uesugi Shiba does not enter the arena, can Hojo Tokugawa stop me Takeda Shingen?Let's see how I break the situation and give them a good look! "

Seeing Takeda Shingen sweeping away his previous melancholy and becoming confident again, Kosaka Masanobu smiled.

"Hey, I should follow you closely to witness your bravery and wisdom."

Takeda Shingen exhaled and spoke slowly.

"I'm still not sure if Jin Duodian knows that he has a daughter.

I asked you to send someone to Echigo this time, and begged Jin Dadian to meet with me in Beixin, also to judge this matter.

If Uesugi Terutoro could prevent him from coming to Beixin, then he just didn't know it yet, and he didn't want to embarrass Uesugi Terutoro.

If he insisted on coming, he probably knew about it.I took the child there and let him take a good look at how outstanding our child is. "

Takeda Shingen's face was calm, but his lips trembled slightly, betraying the excitement in her heart.

As Rena grew up, her desire to raise the child secretly also faded away, and she was more and more eager to let Yoshihiro Shiba know that she had given birth to a daughter for him.

Although this thought is hot, Takeda Shingen and Kosaka Masanobu both understand that the possibility of Shiba Yoshigin knowing about this matter is very small.

Otherwise, with Sibo Yiyin's temper, how could he not make a move so far, this is his eldest daughter.
