Chapter 563 Boiling Fighting Intent

Takeda Harunobu looked at the Ji warriors under his command, and seeing their expressions gradually serious, the corners of their mouths curled up.

"I have formed an alliance with the Imagawa family and the Hojo family, and I have two powerful allies.

They have salt and iron cloth, they have ports, and they can provide us with the necessary supplies to make our lives better, as long as they are given Jiazhou gold.

But what about the future? "

Takeda Harunobu pointed to himself and said.

"The Wu Family Alliance is a joke, they are just afraid of trouble.

I can't beat them, and they can't stand my harassment, and they have no interest in the barren Kai.

You choose to ally with me because you don't want your back to be insecure when conquering a rich land.

Now, they use supplies to stabilize me, so what if I die?No one is immune to death, and I will die sooner or later.

At that time, which one of you can make them feel troublesome, willing to continue to provide cheap salt cloth iron for us Koshin samurai!
Even now, Koshu gold mining is decreasing every year, and we will soon have no gold to exchange for supplies.

Do you understand what this means? "

Takeda Harunobu smashed the copy.

"Without gold, we will be reduced to begging wild dogs! Or use the rice that we don't even have enough to eat, and continue to exchange for those expensive salt!

We're not wild dogs, we don't need handouts.We want salt, we want cloth, we want ironware, and we need to get them with our own hands!
The alliance of the three families stabilized their rear, and also made the Takeda family no worries.

I, Harunobu Takeda, put all my energy into conquest of Shinano in the north, is it to enslave the Shinano people who are also mountain samurai?
no!You are not worthy!
Do you have any salt?Do you have cloth?Do you have ironware?You have nothing!
I want to join hands with you so that the Koshin warriors can stand together and conquer the world outside the mountain together!

We have never been stronger, we have never had such a good opportunity.The troubled times have come, and the world is in chaos. It is time for me to expand the living space of Jiaxin Wujia.

I'm going to Beixin, I'm going to Kawanakajima, I'm going to defeat Uesugi Terotora!I want her to understand that the Koshin samurai family, who are tempered by the cold wind in the mountains, are not afraid of anyone!

Kawanakajima is not my goal, nor should it be your goal.

Our goal is Echigo salt, Echigo green hemp cloth, Echigo plain food, the estuary to the sea, and our living space!

There is food, there are ports, and there are commercial towns.We can attract merchants, build workshops, and have inexhaustible salt, inexhaustible cloth and ironware from now on.

So, please lend me your strength.

Do our best!No, it is bursting out with a force stronger than full strength!Follow me to seize our future! "

After Takeda Harunobu finished speaking, tears were streaming down his face.She knelt down and bowed deeply to her subordinate Ji Wu.

"In order for our descendants to eat salt anytime and anywhere, please give me a chance!
please!Zhu Ji! "

The eyes of the Jiaxin Wu family under his command were already red, and many people were wiping their tears with their heads down.

Outsiders can't imagine what price the mountain people have to pay for a little coarse salt, a little cloth, and a little ironware in this barren land.

There is no cultivated land in the mountains.

The Kai Basin, Suwa Basin, and Nagano Basin are considered large plains, but they still cannot produce much food or support many people.

Even so, they still have to trade the precious rice with outsiders for the indispensable salt cloth.

There are gold mines in the mountains, which can be exchanged for money.But miners in the feudal era were not a good job, and there was no difference between going to the mines and courting death.

Even so, the gold mines dry up, and miners have to run around looking for new ones.Only by finding new mines can we have a meal and be qualified to continue going to the mines to seek death.

The pain of the Koshin samurai family was clearly explained by Takeda Harunobu. They wanted a living space and wanted to break out of the mountains.

The Imagawa family and the Hojo family in the south are too powerful, and the Takeda family cannot defeat their alliance.

Then only turn around and go north, take Shinano country.Then continue to the north, looking for another way out, that is the rich Echigo country.

It was also a temptation for the Takeda family that Terutora Uesugi gathered troops in Kawanakajima.

As long as Uesugi Terutora's army can be defeated in one fell swoop, the myth of the Echigo Samurai's bravery will end.The Koshin samurai had the courage to continue marching northward and capture the Echigo Kingdom.

The Takeda family needed a big victory to strengthen their confidence in going north and lay the foundation for the subsequent conquest of Echigo.

Moreover, Beixin's Kawanakajima Plain is fertile and can become the logistics base of the Takeda family, ensuring supplies for the invasion of Echigo Kingdom.

Echigo has fertile plains, outlets to the sea, gold and silver mines, green hemp cloth, sea salt, and everything the Takeda family wants.

This is Takeda Harunobu's ambition. The Takeda family needs to break out of the mountains and needs a way out.

Takeda Noburen made a decisive decision, kowtowed to the ground, and said.

"I would like to follow the house governor to Kawanaka Island, and fight Uesugi Terotora to the end, and die soon!"

Someone came forward, and everyone's fighting spirit was ignited, and everyone asked for a fight.

Even Nobukun Anayama, who had hesitated before, stepped forward and bowed, saying.

"The governor of the family has a long-term vision, which is beyond my reach. The Xueshan family is willing to mobilize with all their strength and go to Beixin with you.

The Echigo samurai family has such a great reputation, I have long wondered how these guys dare to claim to be the champion of Kanto.

This time, we must let them know how powerful I am and the Jiaxin Wu family, and they will not dare to compete with me from now on! "

Among the retainers of the Takeda family, the southernmost Anayama family also asked to fight forward, and the fighting spirit of the retainer group reached the highest in an instant.

Takeda Harunobu nodded in relief and said.

"A fierce tiger fighting a rabbit also needs to use all its strength, and this battle on Chuanzhong Island is a national war, so it is necessary to go all out.

I have made up my mind, the Jiazhou gold in stock will be distributed to various companies, and all will be mobilized.

All the materials stored in the warehouse over the years were taken out, and the army was mobilized to the maximum.

In the direction of Nishi Ueno, the Hojo family has promised to send troops to contain them, and there is no need for too many troops to stay behind. "

Harunobu Takeda pointed out the door and shouted.

"Everyone go back, mobilize, and tell the retainers what this battle is for!
Let's do our best to win the Battle of Kawanakajima! "

"Hi!"

The warriors kowtowed to the ground one after another, and walked out the door one by one.

A few days later, Takeda Harunobu personally led the Kai people to go northward, gathering various reserve teams along the way, and advancing all the way to Beixin.

The stone height of Kai country is [-] stones, plus the conquered Nanxin, Zhongxin, and Dongxin, the total mobilization force is about [-] stones.

Coupled with the support of Koshu gold produced in Kai, the military supplies accumulated over the years were distributed to various companies, and soldiers were encouraged to raise troops. This time, the overloaded mobilization was [-] shi.

Including Nobushige Takeda's Beixin garrison, the Takeda family army has [-] reserve troops, [-] soldiers, and countless logistics farmers.

For a time, wind and cloud gathered in Chuanzhong Island.

Both sides are fighting hard, with high morale, and they are determined to win this battle.
