different warring states of japan

Takeda Shingen and Kosaka Masanobu circled Rena, and the atmosphere among the three was warm.

After a while, Takeda Shingen pointed at the child and said proudly.

"Changshin, Rena is only two and a half years old."

Kosaka Masanobu was taken aback, and looked at Takeda Rena who was thrashing in his arms.The child muttered and didn't know what she was muttering, but she did have her own thoughts and ideas.

Masanobu Kosaka, who hadn't reacted just now, was suddenly amazed.

When other children of the same age have just learned to walk and can't even speak clearly, the two and a half-year-old Rena Takeda can already toddle and run, recognize relatives, and clearly express her wishes.

Takeda Shingen looked at Kosaka Masanobu's shocked gaze, couldn't help but be proud, pinched Rena's cheek, and made the child puff up his face with anger.

Kosaka Masanobu was stunned for a while, then sighed.

"As expected of you and his flesh and blood, the talents are extraordinary, and the Takeda family will have no worries."

Gao Banchang was still a little sad in his confidence, his stomach was really disappointing.At that time in Yantian City, she was always dragged by the lord to humiliate Sibo Yiyin, but in the end only the lord conceived her.

Come to think of it, this is life.

Takeda Shingen didn't know that she had inadvertently poked Kosaka Masanobu's heartache, she just wanted to show off.

Back then, she insisted on giving birth to Takeda Rena, which caused dissatisfaction among the retainers for her appearance.

But as Takeda Rena grew up, the retainers had to admit that Shiba Yoshigin's blood was extraordinary, and the Takeda family might have taken advantage of it.

Linnai is early wise and intelligent, and has a strong body, as if combining the genetic advantages of both the male and female worlds, not like a mortal body.

The island culture firmly believes in the theory of bloodlines, and pays attention to the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make holes.Unlike the people of the Celestial Dynasty, who dare to shout that they are kind.

Takeda Rena's excellence caused Takeda's retainers to fall into a tangle of contradictions.

The fact that Takeda Shingen humiliated Shiba Yoshiyin and snatched his seed blood may cause great trouble for the Takeda family in the future.

But Rena is too good a child, if the Takeda family can really go to a higher level in her hands, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

With expectations for the future, it seemed that it was not unacceptable for the Governor Meng Lang to borrow the matter of giving birth to a daughter.

Shibo Yoshiin's reputation is rising day by day, and he has become a figure looked up to by martial artists all over the world.If the Takeda family can get his flesh and blood, let's have fun secretly.

Even in the future, Yi Sibo Yiyin's benevolence and righteousness will not kill his own child, right?The worst result is nothing more than Takeda Shingen's personal misfortune.

From the perspective of the Takeda family, if the governor alone can resist all the sins and let this child who is not as intelligent as ordinary people lead the Takeda family to a more brilliant future, this deal is worth doing.

Kosaka Masanobu looked at Takeda Shingen worriedly. She was well aware of the psychological changes of Takeda's retainers in the past two years, and she became more and more worried about Takeda Shingen's future.

Takeda Shingen now doesn't think about housekeeping, and stays with Rena all the time. Did he foresee that his future is not optimistic, so he wants to spend more time with his proud daughter?

Takeda Shingen felt Kosaka Masanobu's gaze and asked.

"what happened?"

Kosaka Masanobu shook his head, suppressed his thoughts, and changed the subject.

...

"It's nothing, Your Highness, are you really going to use that imperial letter to send troops to Shangluo to fight against the Oda family?"

Takeda Shingen took Rena off Kosaka Masanobu's body, patted Rena's head, and said affectionately.

"I'm sweating all over from playing, and it's very dirty. Come here, take Linnai to drink some water and change clothes."

The servant came forward to salute, and led the child to wash up.Takeda Shingen looked at Rena's back and said.

"Oda Nobunaga disrespected the shogunate, humiliated General Ashikaga, and attempted to gain control of the samurai world.

As a descendant of Hanoi Genji, I, Takeda Shingen, have the trust of the general and the righteousness bestowed on me by the Royal Secretary, how can I just sit idly by? "

Kosaka Masanobu looked at Takeda Shingen's awe-inspiring look, and shook his head helplessly.

Takeda Shingen gave her a blank look.

"Am I right?"

Kosaka Masanobu asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness misses Jinda?"

Takeda Shingen narrowed his eyes.

"Why do you think so?"

Kosaka Masanobu said seriously.

"The way you looked just now is like the Jinda Temple who stood upright in front of us back then."

Takeda Shingen took a deep look at Kosaka Masanobu, and said to himself.

"It's not that I want to be the enemy of Oda Nobunaga, but I have to be the enemy of Oda Nobunaga.

Changshin, I have no choice.

In the past few years, my Takeda family seems to be peaceful, but it is undercurrents.The Kai group, the Shinano group, and the Suruga group are at odds with each other, they look down on each other, and there are many conflicts.

In particular, Takeda Noburen acquiesced, Anayama Nobukun and Tokugawa Ieyasu started a smuggling business, which seemed to bring us a lot of benefits, but also planted greater hidden dangers.

The benefits of the Tōkaidō trade route are not as good as before, but in the end it is profitable. Kai people are not greedy enough, which makes me very embarrassed.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, this person is not simple.

While doing business with Anayama Nobukun, she benefits the Kais and excludes the Surugas from the interests of the trade route.

On the other hand, she made good friends with the Suruga people, and privately used her share of the trade income to give Suruga a little more sweetness.

Now, the Kai people are happy to cooperate with the Tokugawa family, and the Suruga people also think that the Tokugawa family is more suitable to be the ruler of the Suruga country than the Takeda family.

Poor Kai all those idiots, they were used by Tokugawa Ieyasu and thought she was a good person.

Especially Anayama Nobukun, I am afraid that he is deeply involved with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who knows if there is any shady deal behind the two.

However, the Xueshan family has a special status, and it is not easy for me to touch Xueshan Xinjun easily. "

Kosaka Masanobu frowned.

"Your Highness shouldn't have agreed at that time, let Anayama Nobu-kun preside over the Tokaido trade route in private, and exchange information with Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Now, even if they want to punish Anayama Nobukun for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, the Kai people who have taken advantage of it will inevitably rebound. "

Takeda Shingen sighed.

"Although the revenue of the Tokaido trade route has been declining year by year, it is a piece of fat. Who wouldn't be greedy? If I insist on stopping it, can I stop it?

Being able to see but not eat will arouse the resentment of Kai people instead, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Now, the Kai people claim to be conquerors and are full of food and drink.The Suruga people hooked up with Tokugawa Ieyasu and got a share of the pie.

The most dissatisfied are the Shinano people. They live in poverty in the mountains, and their lives are always difficult.Since you are also poor, why should you submit to me?

...

Changshin, my Takeda family seems to be peaceful and stable, occupying the land of the Three Kingdoms, and has a great momentum, but in fact it is already in crisis and cannot be optimistic.

If I don't move it again, I will die in a daze in the future. "

Kosaka Masanobu was silent for a while, sighed, and nodded.

It is difficult for Takeda Shingen to be the head of the family.

The Kai country is small and weak, and it is possible to break out of the mountains and win the Shinano and Suruga countries, which are far stronger and richer than themselves.

However, the nature of the mountain people in Jiafei is hard to change, and the most is to hold together and repel others, and run rampant.

They always considered themselves conquerors, and they despised and suppressed the later Shinano and Suruga congregations, which caused many conflicts.

Tokugawa Ieyasu saw this clearly, so he would give benefits to the Kai people, win over the Suruga people, and try every means to intensify the tear within the Takeda family.

Takeda Shingen has been tolerant because behind Tokugawa Ieyasu stands Oda Nobunaga, the two million stone daimyo.

Compared with the Oda family, the Takeda family is too weak, so they can only endure temporarily, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.

Now, Oda Nobunaga has gone too far in recent days, causing dissatisfaction from many forces.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki took the lead in writing the imperial book, and everyone formed an alliance to besiege the Oda family together, which was a godsend opportunity for the Takeda family.

The best way to resolve conflicts at home is to export conflicts to the outside world.

As long as the Tokugawa family can be defeated, the Oda family successfully backstabbed, and the Takeda family occupy the entire Tokaido, Takeda Shingen will have enough land and business interests to buy and unite the hearts of the Takeda family.

Kosaka Masanobu thought for a while and said.

"Your Highness is far-sighted, and I am ashamed of myself.

But Oda Nobunaga turned out to be born in just a few years, laying down a territory of two million stones, and he is by no means an easy person.

Tokugawa Ieyasu is capable of bending and stretching, step by step, full of tenacity, and he is not easy to match.

If there is a mistake in the battle of Shangluo, the consequences will be disastrous.Why don't we choose an enemy that is easier to deal with to expand our territory and ease internal conflicts? "

Takeda Shingen smiled wryly.

"If it's not a last resort, I certainly don't want to fight Oda Tokugawa. But if I don't fight Oda Tokugawa, which direction can I break through?
Hida country?The mountains there are higher, the land is more barren, and it's just tasteless.

Unless I intend to attack China, I will use the Hida country.But Hokuriku Road was managed by Jindadian as an iron bucket, so why should I go looking for that unpleasantness.

The same goes for Nishi Ueno direction.

When Nagano Yasasa died of illness, it was a good opportunity to intervene in the Kanto Plain, but it was a pity that Sanada Nobushige took the lead.

The current Kanto is already an iron barrel. From Uesugi in Echigo to Hojo in Sagami, they are all within the framework of the Great Review of Kanto Chambers.

The great talent of the Jinda Temple, using Ashikaga Yoshishi's Kanto no war imperial order, used peaceful development as an excuse to frame all the samurai related to the eight states into the political circle of the Kanto Servant.

In terms of tricks, I might beat him by a bit.But in terms of tolerance, I am far inferior to him.

I missed the best opportunity to enter the land of Guanbashu. If I go to plot the land of Xi Ueno now, I will be the enemy of all the samurai of Guanbashu, and the wise will not take it.

After all, Hokuriku Road and Seki Yashu are already monolithic. I can't afford to offend Tsutaden. I can only look for the bad luck of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu and try to break through from Tokaido. "

...

Kosaka Masanobu was speechless.

The situation of the Takeda family is much worse than that of the Hojo family of the Uesugi family.

The Uesugi family's Echigo country is rich and powerful, and it is Shiba Yoshigin's core ally in Kanto. No matter how the political situation in Kan Yashu changes, Uesugi Terotora will always make money.

The Hojo family has been in business for several generations, and even though Shiba Yoshiyin has suppressed his enterprising spirit, the Hojo clan can still occupy a place in Kanto by virtue of the family business accumulated by their ancestors.

In contrast, Takeda Shingen was very helpless.

She has no reliable allies, nor does she have a family background accumulated by generations. The conflict of interests between newcomers and old people in the retainer group, and regional rifts are not big problems that can be solved in a generation.

Kosaka Masanobu said worriedly.

"Your Highness, since it's wrong to move anyway, it's better not to move.

Although the conflicts among the warriors of the three places are fierce, but you have enough prestige to suppress them, they will not be able to overthrow the sky.

As long as the current territory is managed well, why not wait for the young master to grow up and give her a stable Wutian family business?

Even if you can't become King Wu of Zhou, you can also choose to become King Wen of Zhou without taking the risk of going to Luo. "

The Zhou Dynasty obeyed the mandate of heaven and defeated Shang Zhou. Although it was succeeded by King Wu of Zhou, the foundation was laid by King Wen of Zhou.

With so many difficulties in the Takeda family now, Kosaka Masanobu feels that there is no need for Takeda Shingen to rush for success, and he can completely calm down and manage.

Without the rule of Wenjing, there would be no glory of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.The predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. This is the way to long-term peace and stability.

The Hojo family can run for three or four generations, and gradually develop from Izu country to Kanto daimyo, and the Takeda family can do the same.

Although the three samurai families in Kai Shinano and Suruga have many conflicts, how can they be the opponent of Takeda Shingen?

As long as Takeda Shingen can bear his temper, there will be enough time to slowly clear up these troubles before Rena takes over.

Kosaka Masanobu still felt that Takeda Shingen was too anxious.

Tokugawa Ieyasu provoked the Takeda family internally because she was not sure of winning the battle against Takeda Shingen.As long as Takeda Shingen sees the tricks, Tokugawa Ieyasu's separation may not be effective.

Takeda Shingen smiled slightly, and was not disgusted with the persuasion of her caring person. She knew that Kosaka Masanobu was sincerely for her own good.

"Masanobu, do you know that Echigo's salt has stopped intermittently again, and the supplies from Naoetsu to Zenkojiping have also decreased."

Kosaka Masanobu frowned.

"His Highness Uesugi obstructed it before, but wasn't it the order of Arimatsuda-den that the Naoetsu Pass not to be in short supply?"

Takeda Shingen scoffed.

"No matter how powerful Tsudaden is, he is not omniscient. Terutora Uesugi insists on tripping me up, so what can Tsudaden do?

The salt is distributed from the saltworks of the Uesugi family, and Naoetsu is located in the Takata Plain, the core of the Uesugi family.

Uesugi Terutora has a great influence on the matter of transporting supplies to Beixin Zenkoji Temple. If she is not willing, there are ways to bypass Jinda Temple. "

Kosaka Masanobu said.

"Fortunately, the salt fields in the Suruga country have recovered a lot one after another. My Takeda family doesn't need the salt from the Echigo country now."

Takeda Shingen sighed.

"You haven't figured it out yet, what I'm worried about is not the salt and supplies, but Uesugi Terutoro's persistent attitude towards me.

Think about it, why does Terotora Uesugi show hostility to me every time Jintaden leaves Kanto?
The cooperation between Jindadian and Uesugi Terutora in the Kanto strategy is very close, and there will never be changes in the order of the day, and there will be multiple policies.

Time and time again Uesugi Terotora took advantage of the time when Jintaden left Kanto to cut off cheap supplies from Shinano, creating dissatisfaction among the Shinano people towards me.

Tell me, what exactly does she want to do? "
