different warring states of japan

Chapter 451 Black Hand
The Takeda family's invasion of the Shinano country was a problem that Terotora Uesugi had to solve before sending troops to the Kanto Plain.

Shinano is an important road in the world. Although the domestic rocks are not abundant, it connects the ten countries and its strategic location is very important.

The four counties of Kawanaka Island in Kita-Shinano are more than [-] miles away from Uesugi Teruhuju Castle and Kasuga Mountain Castle, and it can be reached in two days by crossing the Myoko Plateau and heading north.

Once the soldiers of the Takeda family cover Kita Shinano, it is equivalent to holding a sharp knife against Uesugi Terutora's heartland, the Takada Plain.

Can she still send troops to the Kanto Plain with peace of mind?
Uesugi Terutora, Kita Shinano Murakami Yoshiki, and Nishi Ueno Nagano Ye are holding a group to keep warm, which is to stabilize the safety of Echigo.

For the long strip of Echigo Kingdom, the related areas of Kita Shinano and West Ueno on the other side of the Echigo Mountains are related to the safety of Echigo, China and Vietnam.

Uesugi Terutora and Shiba Yoshigin did not expect that their return to Echigo would be obstructed by Takeda Harunobu.

In other words, before the two of them took any action against the Takeda family, they were preemptively attacked and received a sap from Takeda Harunobu.

Uesugi Terutora, who was proud and arrogant, couldn't bear it first and asked.

"What did Takeda Harunobu do?"

Shen Baochang said.

"As far as I know, Harunobu Takeda contacted Terashima Jobsaka, relying on her to persuade me to prevent you from returning home.

There was also news that Shiina Yasushi's betrayal of the alliance was also caused by the secret manipulation of the Takeda family to sow discord.

Koma Changguang, the important minister of Shiina, is a follower of Yixiangzong, and took the opportunity to introduce the influence of Yixiangzong into Shiina's home, and Shiina Kangyin was miserably cheated.

I thought, since Harunobu Takeda didn't let go of both the Etsuchu and Chuanya, she should be able to do things in other ways as well.

I heard that this Takeda family governor was familiar with the art of war and respected his grandson.

Come to think of it, the shot is extraordinary. "

Uesugi Terutora snorted.

"A cunning person who hides his head and shows his tail, has no courage to fight in the battle, and loves to play some dirty little tricks."

She looked down on Takeda Harunobu's behavior, but Yoshihiro was a little more afraid of the Takeda family governor.

The stone height of Kai country is 23 koku, and that of Shinano country is 37 koku.Although Kai has gold mines, Shinano is divided internally.

However, the Takeda family's ability to take down almost the entire Shinano from a country in the mountains that lacks manpower and land resources, has its own advantages.

In war, all means are sought for victory.

The Takeda family governor regards his grandson as his idol, so he must be careful to deal with Uesugi Terutora, an arrogant rich second generation, strategically.

The question now is, what exactly did Takeda Harunobu do?The unknown is the most likely to cause people's fear.

Shiba Yoshihiro opened his mouth and listed them one by one.

"She will intervene in the Yuezhong family, and she will definitely not let go of the Yixiangzong side. No wonder Ishiyama Hongan Temple is capricious.

Echigo is full of conflicts. He still doesn't know that His Royal Highness Shangshan's name has been determined, and the Yangbei people and guarding old ministers may raise their flags to rebel. "

Shinbo nods his head.

"That's why I reminded the two Highnesses that Echigo may have had a major event, and you should be prepared in your heart so as not to be caught off guard."

Terutora Uesugi bowed slightly to express his gratitude and smiled.

"there is always a solution to a problem.

After all, the Wu family decides the world with bravery, no matter what she plans, as long as I can win, it will be fine.

It's just that Yoshiki Murakami is in danger, I hope she can withstand this wave of pressure. "

Speaking of war, Uesugi Terutora's mind is particularly clear.

Takeda Harunobu disturbed Echigo and prevented Uesugi Terutora from returning to the country. In the final analysis, he wanted to swallow Kita Shinano, so that Uesugi Terutoro had no time to support Kita Shinano's Murakami Yoshiki.

It now appears that her goal has been achieved.Uesugi Terotora refused to admit defeat, but he began to be wary of this insidious guy in his heart.

Yi Yin sighed and said.

"It's useless for us to speculate here. It's better to do our own thing."

Both Jinbao Chief and Uesugi Terotora nodded in agreement, and the three continued to discuss the matter of dispatching troops, without mentioning the Takeda Family Governor.

---

In the country of Kai, we walked around the Azalea Pavilion.

Master Tianhai spoke with Harunobu Takeda carefully, not daring to slack off.

This Takeda family governor has a dignified appearance and a hot figure, but his temperament is peaceful and refined, and he speaks unhurriedly and calmly.

The first time she saw him, she almost misjudged him, thinking he was a cultural person.But knowing her identity, I felt even more afraid in my heart.

This is the ambitious samurai daimyo who expelled his mother from the throne and attacked Shinano.

Tianhai was lingering in front of Shiboyi Silver Buddha in Kyoto, feeling terrified.

She thought she had been plotted against by the idiots of the Tiantai sect and had desecrated the governor of Shiba's family.

Although Yoshigin Shiba managed to get away with the shock of the Ashikaga family's secrets, he also felt that there was no place for him in Kyoto.

So, I volunteered to come to Kaito, Kanto, to explain Buddhism to Takeda Harunobu of the Tendai sect.

Before coming to Kanto, of course, she must carefully understand the character of the Takeda family governor. She doesn't want to make a fortune, but only to survive and protect herself.

The samurai names are not good things, and the Kanto Ji samurai is synonymous with cruelty and cruelty.

If you don't know the details, offend someone with your words, and you are killed and buried in the Kai mountain area, you can't complain.

After seeing Harunobu Takeda clearly, she couldn't help but sigh, the hero is also.

In fact, before Harunobu Takeda came to power, the Takeda family was almost on the verge of collapse.

Her mother, Takeda Nobutora, was also a brave man who invaded Shinano and fought against various families.

In particular, the joint parties defeated the Uno family in the first battle, crushed them and fled to the West Ueno, and defected to the same clan.

But even so, Takeda Nobutora still couldn't stabilize the Shinano samurai.

Because of the Shinano War, the tax burden in Kai is as high as eight publics and two people, and the undercurrent is raging. The rule of the Takeda family is about to be overthrown.

Kansai has the benefits of commercial taxation, and the land output generally implements a benevolent government of four publics and six people, or five publics and five people.

The Kanto is bitterly cold, and most of the income of the samurai family comes from land and minerals. The land tax is mostly six gongs and four people, and there are also poor samurai families who exploit up to seven gongs and three people.

Only the Hojo family practiced the good governance of the four publics and the six people. This is one of the reasons why the foreign Hojo family was rejected by the Kanto Samurai and could still control the hearts of the people.

Even in the harsh Kanto, it is unheard of to reach the extreme tyranny of Takeda Nobutora.

Had it not been for Takeda Harunobu's decisive expulsion of his mother, succession to the Takeda family governor, internal repair of water conservancy, external cooperation with Imagawa, and the Hojo family, the Takeda family might have been overthrown by the angry Kai family.

The Takeda family governor was good at strategy, and he managed the divided samurai in Shinano into obedience.

Tianhai knew that Takeda Harunobu was an outright egoist, so the so-called belief in Tiantai Sect should not be taken seriously.

She actively moved closer to the Tiantai Sect, intending to join the Tiantai Sect and obtain the position of Da Nizheng, in order to win over the Tiantai Sect and pave the way for the ambition of the Takeda family.

The nun system began in the era of the emperor's court. After nearly a thousand years, although it has been changed many times, the dani is always the highest level among the three and five levels.

If Harunobu Takeda gets the position of Dai Nizheng, in the Tiantai sect, his status will be second only to the master of the first sect.

How could the Tiantai sect give her this seat? How would the shogunate explain it?

You know, the relationship between the Takeda family and the Ashikaga family is quite bad because of the infighting incidents of Hanoi Genji back then.

The Tendai Sect, who wholeheartedly followed the shogunate, could treat Harunobu Takeda with courtesy, but Dani is in a high position?

I can only make a haha ​​and fool the past.

Tianhai's attitude is respectful, but he is a slippery guy who can't squeeze out oil. Takeda Harunobu knows the attitude of Tiantai sect towards him, so he just meets the mages every day and gives him some respect.

Everyone is just superficial, leaving room for the future.

Who knows how long the shogunate can last, maybe someday Tiantaizong will have to ask Takeda Harunobu to become this danizheng.

After some hypocrisy, Tianhai resigned with a smile.

Takeda Harunobu closed his eyes to rest for a while, and Takeda Nobushige who accompanied him looked at his sister with some distress, and said dissatisfied.

"These nuns don't know good from bad, so why bother with them?"

Takeda Harunobu didn't comment, and answered with a smile.

"What do you know.

The troubled times have come, and people are in a panic.It is the people's hearts that are fought in war, otherwise they will not be able to defend themselves.

You look down on these nuns, but they can help us stabilize the hearts of the grassroots, and there is nothing wrong with giving them some false fame.

The power of the Takeda family is limited, and it should be used where it is most needed. Why not use the method that can get twice the result with half the effort. "

Takeda Nobushige was not convinced.

"I don't think it will be useful to conquer Shinano."

Takeda Harunobu nodded.

"Winning Tiantai Sect is for the sake of world affairs, and Shinano really doesn't need it.

Spring plowing is over?What happened to the mobilization inside the collar? "

When Nobushige Takeda saw that his sister was talking about business, he also put down his complaints and said solemnly.

"With the cooperation of Master Changjing from Shan County, the mobilization of skills was very quick.

It's just that the Anayama family and the Oyamada family moved a little slowly. "

Takeda Harunobu raised his eyebrows to look at his sister, and said calmly.

"I'll talk to Nobu-kun Anayama and Nobumo Koyamada, and you can leave this matter alone."
