different warring states of japan

But Hosokawa and her daughter never thought about it. The money they made from stocks with Takada Yono was all Spo's food stamps.

The money bought and sold on Hokurikudo Trading Road stocks and the money traded on Shiba real estate had long been turned into food stamps by Takada Haruno.

Once the stock price of Hokurikudo Trading Line crashes, the excess food stamps on the market will have nowhere to go and will inevitably flow into Shiba Real Estate.

A large amount of wealth was accumulated in Hokurikudo Trading Road stocks and Shiba real estate. Kinki families exchanged grain stamps from Shiba Dokura and made purchases.

Both the Shiba retainers and the Oda retainers favored the stable Shiba family and were willing to store their family assets in the Shiba family, the only safe haven in troubled times.

Once the stock market crashes and excess food stamps hit real estate, causing real estate prices to plummet, where will the overflowing food stamps go next?

If all the food stamps that flooded out went to Shiba Tugu, triggering a new round of runs, and Takada Yono did not have so much gold, silver, and copper coins to exchange for grain, the value of the food stamps would plummet.

At that time, the food stamp cash held by the Izumi Hosokawa family is in danger of turning into waste paper. Will Hosokawa Fujitaka join the run?

Once everyone holding food stamps begins to panic and participate in the run, the food stamp system will inevitably collapse, and the Spo family's economic strength will be hit harder than ever.

Turning food stamps into waste paper will harm the interests of all participants who use food stamps. Stealing people's money is like killing their parents. Outsiders will resent the Sibo family, and even the prestige of the saint will plummet.

This is a chain of credit that explodes. It seems calm at the beginning. Only Takada Yono is worried, and Hosokawa Fujitaka is even in the mood to laugh.

But as the situation develops, Hosokawa Fujitaka will soon stop laughing, and will fall into an embarrassing dilemma with Takada Harano.

But at this moment, both Hosokawa and her daughter did not pay attention to this seemingly minor incident of a businessman jumping into the river. They just felt that Takada Yono's handling of this matter was not very honorable and brought disgrace to the managers of Sakai Port.

Hosokawa Motonsune advised Hosokawa Fujitaka to let go and have a good rest, but Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed.

"I can let go of Takada Haruno's matter, but how can I let go of Akechi Mitsuhide's expedition?

There is a cloud in the sky that the great events of the country are sacrificed to the Rong.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide is smart, this guy has been active in the diplomatic field, and he doesn't know how much of his early war experience is left.

It’s true that the saint gave the military expedition to Tanba Kingdom to Akechi Mitsuhide. "

Hosokawa Motonsune said with a change of color.

"Be careful! How can you criticize a saint!"

Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled.

"Mom is too careful. There are only three of us, mother and daughter, here. It's okay to just say a casual word.

Furthermore, even if these words really reach the ears of the saint, he will not argue with me. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka touched his belly, looking like he was sure of victory, which made Hosokawa Motonsune smile bitterly.

With the trump card of the Goddess, Hosokawa Fujitaka is the core figure of the Shiba Goddess Group. He does not need to be as careful as the foreign ministers, and he seems to be close to him when he says some transgressive words.

Hosokawa Motonsune sighed.

"Having said that, he is a saint after all. Don't be too arrogant. If such disrespectful words fall into the ears of others, it will be a troublesome thing."

Hosokawa Fujitaka nodded.

"I understand what mother means, let's not mention the saint, let's talk about Akechi Mitsuhide.

I don’t know what kind of madness she got, but she must personally lead the troops into battle. She has not taken on important military tasks for many years, but this time she has to lead tens of thousands of troops, which makes me quite speechless.

Why didn't she ask me to make arrangements and let me lead the troops like she did in Tango Kingdom? " Hosokawa Motonsune glanced at his daughter and knew that her daughter had benefited from the two counties of Tango Kingdom. He complained a little that Akechi Mitsuhide did not take her to play this time and ate alone.

In this regard, Hosokawa Motonsugai explains.

"Akechi Mitsuhide did the right thing, you are about to give birth, how can you lead the troops now?

Besides, Mitsuhide Akechi mobilized all the Kinki Shiba families for this expedition, and I and the Izumi-Hosokawa family also sent troops to help.

It's just a matter of how much battle merit you have, and you have to believe that Akechi Mitsuhide knows it well and won't treat you, an iron ally, badly. "

Faced with his mother's explanation, Hosokawa Fujitaka said unhappily.

"I am expecting a baby now, isn't Akechi Mitsuhide the same?

It's inappropriate for her to force herself to go into battle even though she's pregnant. She also chooses to go out after the summer harvest. I don't know why, but I'm a little confused. "

The best time for the Wu family to go to war is after the spring plowing and autumn harvest, when there is a long slack period, and labor is mobilized to transport military supplies, which has the lowest economic cost.

The army does not have to worry about sowing and harvesting the fields at home. Without worries, it can fight with peace of mind.

The slack period after the summer harvest is actually okay, but the autumn rice harvest is the most important thing of the year for the Wu family. It is always not good to go on an expedition at this time.

Although Akechi Mitsuhide rarely leads troops, he is the chosen general after all. She should understand this truth. Why was she confused this time?

Hosokawa Motonsune suddenly remembered something and said.

“Maybe it’s for His Highness Oda?

I heard that His Highness Oda will go to Kyoto in person to see off Akechi Jun, but her delivery date is right behind you, so it is temporarily inconvenient to move.

Perhaps Mitsuhide Akechi wanted to wait for His Highness Oda to recover after giving birth. After all, it was a rare honor for His Highness Oda to see her off in person. "

Hosokawa Fujitaka became pregnant in the early summer of last year, followed by Oda Nobunaga, who was pregnant with the divine descendant in midsummer. Calculating carefully, Oda Nobunaga should have entered the expected date of delivery.

His mother's guess made Hosokawa Fujitaka feel strange in his heart, so he asked.

“Because His Highness Oda rashly beheaded Hatano Hideharu, Akechi’s father, who was serving as a hostage in Tamba Country, was brutally murdered by the Hatano family.

As a result, His Highness Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi became estranged. It seemed that they had not seen each other for a long time. Why did His Highness Oda decide to go to Kyoto to see off the Akechi Army? "

Hosokawa Motonsune shook his head.

“I don’t know the specific situation.

I just heard that His Highness Oda and Ritsu's ex-husband No-kun came to intercede in this matter, because Saito Ryuuki, the successor of Saito Yoshiryu, was in Akechi Mitsuhide's army and wanted to complete the first formation in this war.

The Saito family is the only one left, and the hope of reviving the family business lies in her. As the son of the Saito family, Nomon-kun is naturally enthusiastic.

The Oda family is now at its peak, and His Highness Oda no longer cares about the old grudge between the Oda and Saito families over the Nobi Plains.

She just happened to give Nogun a face, pardon Saito Ryuuki, and restore the relationship with Akechi Mitsuhide.

After all, Akechi Mitsuhide is an important minister of the Shiba family and is in charge of foreign affairs. The relationship between His Highness Oda and her is too tense, which is not conducive to the cooperation between the Shiba and Oda families. "

Akechi Mitsuhide presides over the Fushimi Castle system and has always served as a bridge between the Shiba and Oda families. Hosokawa Motonsune's speculation is not unreasonable.
