different warring states of japan

Chapter 390 Cooperation
Asakura Sodi understood what Yoshihiro meant, but he didn't want to take up the fight at this time, and continued to watch his performance in order to obtain more information.

Japan's commercial route starts from Hakata Port in Kitakyushu, and goes to Sakai Port through the Seto Inland Sea.

Entering Kyoto along the Yodo River, the Seta River connects to Lake Biwa in Omi, and then divides into East and West to go to Kanto.

As Yoshihiro said, the mountain roads in the central part are rugged and difficult, and the cost of the road from Mino to Shinano is too high, so few caravans are willing to take it.

The big head is the east and west of the two commercial roads to the north, the east is the Tokaido Road, and the west is the Hokuriku Road. The two business roads converge again to the Kanto Plain.

Enter the Mutsu and Dewa countries and complete the expansion of trade routes throughout Japan.

Among them, Tōkaidō Junfu City took the greatest benefit of entering Kanto from Kansai.

Junfu City was able to win the top spot because of the skills of Imakawa Yoshimoto, the previous governor of the Imakawa family.

Her internal politics are clear, and the business routes of Suruga, Yuanjiang, and Sanhe Three Kingdoms are smooth.

Externally, it formed an alliance with Takeda and Hojo to provide logistical supplies for the two to attack Shinano and Kanto.

There are gold mines in the two territories, and Imagawa uses materials from various places to exchange Koshu gold and Izu gold, earning a lot of money.

The Oda family, which is hostile to the Imagawa family, is divided into upper and lower Owari civil strife, and facing the threat of Saito Dozo from the Mino country, they are willing to trade to earn profits and strengthen their own strength.

The Imagawa family cultivated both internally and externally, which led to the prosperity of Sunpu Castle, the number one castle town in the Tokaido.

However, Hokuriku Road does not have this condition. Even if the pancake painted by Yoshigin is delicious, Asakura Sodi has to listen to a few more words to measure whether it is feasible.

The Kaga Kingdom in the north of Echizen was seized by Ichikomune, known as the Land of Buddha on Earth.

In recent years, due to the suppression of the tenth head of the Honganji Temple, the Kaga Ichiko Sect has stopped the pace of encroaching on neighboring countries.

But martial artists from all over the world are still vigilant, fearing that this group of religious lunatics will raise their flags again.

And the three-pointer of the Yue Dynasty, the Ichigomune, the Jinbao family, and the Shiina family are at odds, and the country is chaotic.

The countries on the front line of the Hokuriku Road are not peaceful, and it is possible to do business, but it may be difficult to make a big situation like the Tokaido.

She understands this truth, and so does Yiyin.

He would propose this idea, so he naturally had his own considerations, and continued.

"This time out of Beijing, Gao Zheng, the governor of the Hatakeyama clan, wrote a letter to me to communicate with Noto Kunihatayama and seek support."

Asakura Sodi looked at Yoshigin seriously, and finally understood what he was thinking. It turned out that Takamasa Hatakeyama had already confided his sincerity to Shiba Yoshiyin.

Thinking about it, even though the two of them had some unhappiness before, the Hatakeyama family has fallen so far, and there is nothing they can't do in order to keep the remaining tens of thousands of territories.

The local powerful faction of the shogunate is originally the Ashikaga relatives who still have strength to hold together for warmth. It is not difficult to understand that Yoshihiro Shiba is willing to accept Hatakeyama Gaozheng.

After the recent World War I, Shiba Yoshiyin has become a well-deserved leader of the local power faction.

He wants to go to the Hokuriku Road. The Hatakeyama Clan, which once occupied Noto-Vietnam and China, still has some cards to flatter, and the Noto-Hatake Separation is the most powerful card.

The Noto Hatakeyama branch was originally the guardian of Noto after the Hatakeyama main family. Over the years, the family business has declined, and they only control the area around Noto Nanao Castle.

Although her family's power has declined, it is orthodox within the guardian system. For the return of the orthodox forces of the shogunate represented by Shiba Yoshigin to Hokuriku, she will be happy and support her.

The Noto Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there are many hills. Only Nanao Bay in the eastern Nanao Castle area has a good port.

Since ancient times, both Tsuruga Bay and Nanao Bay have been engaged in maritime trade, and they only go to the front line of the Bohai Sea.

Balhae refers to the outer northeast of the Korean peninsula to the north.

Maritime trade, China and North Korea go to the right horse, Ryukyu transits goods from Southeast Asia, and the destination is Hakata Port in Kitakyushu.

Tsuruga Nanao, these west coast ports, can only take advantage of Tsushima's ocean currents to support some trade in the direction of the Bohai Sea, and the ports of the two places have very close exchanges.

Nanao Castle is located on the east coast of the Noto Peninsula, down the ocean to the west of Echigo.

This is the base of the Nagao family in Fuchu, Kasugayama Castle, which is also the lair of Uesugi Terutora.

This sea route is unimpeded, and it is an old road that has been used since ancient times. It's just that the martial arts families of the Three Kingdoms rarely communicate with each other, and they are all businessmen's self-consistent trade.

Once the three companies join forces to make money, and the officials come forward to drain them, maybe they can really make a lot of money.

Asakura Sodi sat up straight, looked at Uesugi Terutora, and asked.

"His Highness Uesugi is also willing to facilitate this matter?"

Shiba Yoshigin represents the attitude of the Shiba family, and she still needs to confirm whether the Uesugi family is willing to participate.

Uesugi Terutora nodded.

"I have already promised Kenshin."

Echigo has a tradition of doing business on the Hokuriku Road. This time, more than [-] people rode to Beijing, and the supply along the way was the stronghold of the family business.

The cost of sea transportation is lower than that of road transportation, and the most difficult thing to deal with is shipwreck and port.

Tsuruga, Nanao, Kasugayama Castle's Takada Port all the way is a familiar route for seagoing ships, there is no problem at all, and of course she will not object.

What's more, it's too late to be courteous when a beauty asks her, how can it be pushed outward.

It's just that there is something strange in my heart, and I don't really want this to succeed.

After confirming Uesugi Terutoro's attitude, Asakura Sodi finally became serious.

She doesn't expect to be as prosperous as Sunpu Castle on the Tokaido, but as long as Hokuriku can be more attractive to the caravans nearby, Tsuruga will benefit a lot.

Tsuruga Port doesn't have to just stare at the soup coming from the Tsushima Ocean Current, it can be regarded as a few mouthfuls of fat.

Asakura Sodi looked straight at Shiba Yoshigin and asked.

"What can the Shiba family provide for this matter?"

If Yoshihiro Shiba just used the letter from the Hatakeyama clan to lead a line to the Noto Hatakeyama clan, then it would be useless after success.

Even if the three families give him face, there will be no return if there is no contribution, and it will be a matter of time before he is marginalized.

Asakura Sodi didn't think Shiba Yoshigin was making wedding dresses for the three families and giving benefits, so there must be benefits to bind the three families.

Yiyin replied.

"In the recent post-war negotiations, the Miyoshi family allowed the Shiba family to station in Sakai Port for the shogunate to supervise local merchants in order to prevent the deployment of materials against the shogunate again.

The Shiba family merchants follow Takada Yono, and Sakai Port is now supervising this matter and coordinating all business affairs of the Shiba family.

I have ordered it to open up the Hokuriku Road trade route. "

Asakura Sodi squinted his eyes and thought about it, Sakai Port was like a prison under the control of Miyoshi's family, and it was leak-free.

Unexpectedly, the Shiba family would intervene in Sakai Port business through post-war negotiations, which must have controlled a group of businessmen.

The materials from Sakai Port controlled by the Shiba family leave the port from the Tsuruga Asakura family on the Hokuriku Road, pass through the Notohatake Yama family, and arrive at Kasugayama Castle in Kasuga Kasuga in Echigo. This business can be done.

Asakura Zongdi laughed.

"Then just wait until I can climb Hatakeyama's house and nod?"

Yiyin replied.

"After Echigo, I will send a letter to communicate with Noto Hatakeyama's family, and her family should not refuse."

Asakura Sodi nodded.

The power of the Notohatakeyama family has fallen, so they can only stick to Nanao Castle.

If it is possible to tie up the Echizen Asakura family and the Echigo Shangsan family through the trade route, then Shiba Yoshigin, a local powerful faction of the shogunate, will come forward to protect him.

How could her family refuse, crying and asking to participate in trade.
