A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The exhausted Chief Accountant Yamauchi returned to Yamauchi Fuchu Castle after an absence of many years. It was already the fourth day later.

It was already the eleventh day since the Eiroku Great Rebellion, and the return ship that departed from Sakai Town to Kaidou as usual could make a round trip to the East China Sea. Kiyosu, Okazaki, Hamamatsu, and various port towns in Sunfu have already heard about Kyoto's conspiracy.

Naturally, the death of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu also spread to all parts of Kaidou East Country. The people who are most frightened are naturally the people in the mountain territory. The head of the family died suddenly in his prime, so according to the practice of the Warring States Period.

Foreign intervention forces are bound to invade!

Chief Accountant Yamauchi looked at the people in Fuchu Castle Town. Although it was not obvious on the surface, the price of food and salt on the market began to rise.

The people who had been tested for a long time during the Warring States Period had already foreseen that there would be a period of unrest in the future, and they began to prepare secretly.

Even the children playing in the streets and the housewives carrying water and groceries were nowhere to be seen. The market has plummeted rapidly and is no longer what it used to be.

With a long sigh, he entered the city with a light carriage and a horse from the mountain chief.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu's condition has improved greatly in the past few days. Not only can he speak complete sentences at an extremely slow speed, but he can also barely control his hands and feet, and he has no problem sitting or lying on his own.

At the first sight, all the retainers couldn't help but admire Nagata Tokumoto. It also made the distraught Chief Yamauchi feel relieved after hearing that his elder brother had suffered a stroke and was seriously ill.

The two brothers had a brief chat and exchanged information on various arrangements they had made in the past few days. The news of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's death can no longer be concealed, and the problem of establishing a new master needs to be solved urgently.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu has been working hard to ensure the stability of the entire succession process. If nothing happens to Yamauchi Yoshiharu himself, it is not impossible for him to reset the family governor.

For example, Miyoshi Changqing passed the throne to Miyoshi Yixing, but Miyoshi Yixing died of panic, so he was reinstated as the family governor. Otomo Yoshizhen passed the title of family governor to Otomo Yoshitoshi, but Otomo Yoshitomi did not have the ability to restrain the heroes (there were other reasons), so Otomo Yoshizhin was inevitably reinstated as the family governor.

But Yamauchi Yoshinori looks like this now. It is obvious that he has insufficient energy to suppress the heroes and overwhelm the people of the country. It takes him a long time to even say a word, and his current ability to manage politics is not as reliable as if he could just sit there and use his reputation as a leader in the Eastern Kingdom for thirty years to bluff people.

All these arrangements were simply to allow Yamauchi Taro to successfully inherit the title of family governor.

But the situation he faced was worse than that of Takeda Harunobu in history. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu died in a panic, and Yamauchi Yoshiharu suffered a stroke and could not survive for a few years even after he was cured.

After all, Takeda Nobukatsu had his father, Takeda Katsuyori, who was famous for his martial arts, standing in front of him. Even so, there was still a commotion in the family. As for Yamauchi Taro, he really had no adult compatriots whom he could completely and sincerely rely on. If he really had to rely on his uncle, Uesugi Terutora, the consequences would be difficult to predict.

But there was no choice. Imakawa Yoshiki had been adopted by someone else, and the legal principles that ruled Toga were an excuse to attack Suruga. It was impossible to let him return to his family.

There is also a son who is about the same size as Taro Yamauchi. His maternal clan is Uncle Heita and Tsunarya. Although the popularity is good, but the strength is there, there is not enough strength to support him.

The only choice is Yamauchi Taro. Now he is just waiting for Uesugi Terutora's promise, although Sengoku's promise is also very shaky.

…

Kaiguo, Takeda clan, Uzakikan.

Unlike the precarious situation of the Yamauchi family, Takeda Harunobu received the news of the Eiroku rebellion very quickly, only one day later than the Yamauchi family. His father, Takeda Nobutora, was in Kyoto at the time and was lucky enough to escape the fire. He immediately collected the information and sent it back to Kai.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's death was certainly a big deal, but it had little or nothing to do with Takeda Harunobu, who was far away in Kai, East Country.

But the death of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is of great concern. The Yamauchi family governor died in a hurry. No matter what, it is a good opportunity for Takeda Harunobu and must not be missed.

Takeda Harunobu naturally summoned several close retainers to discuss the matter together and what kind of benefits the Takeda family could gain from this matter.

The leader of the formation, Hara Changyin, was sitting safely in the corner, Takeda Nobutanobu was sitting close by, Takeda Nobuyan, the teacher Ishikage Masaru, Naito Xiu, Iitomi Toramasa, Takeda Yoshinobu and others were sitting at the bottom in a mixed manner.

"The death of Mr. Lord this time is naturally more chaotic for the world, but it is nothing for Takeda. However, Yamauchi Habayashi died together, which is really unexpected."

Takeda Harunobu shook his folding fan and narrated slowly. Anyway, it was Yamauchi Yoshikatsu who died.

"Although Yamauchi Habayashi is dead, the Prime Minister of Yamauchi is still there, and it is not easy for the Yamauchi family to cause turmoil." Takeda Nobushige believed that with Yamauchi Yoshiharu still there, there would be no trouble in the Yamauchi family.

"Prime Minister Yamauchi has a strong reputation, but the heir Habayashi Yamauchi is still young, I heard he is only three years old. There will always be ups and downs in the family."

"I heard there are two young boys!" Repairman Naito spoke to Shi Jingzheng, the teacher.

"The prime minister of the mountain will definitely appoint the son of the Nagao clan. The governor of Kasuga Mountain will have great prestige."

Iito Homasa is now the Takeda family writer and has a strong voice in the family. Takeda Harunobu asked him to be Takeda Yoshinobu's fuyi, and he obviously paved the way for future generations like Yamauchi Yoshiharu.

"If the nephew of the leader of Kasugayama succeeds the Yamauchi clan, the alliance between Yamauchi and Uesugi will surely be stronger." Takeda Yoshinobu also recognized what his teacher said.

"Let's see what Prime Minister Yamauchi does." "What His Highness said is very true. It seems that the family can go to Suruga Suwa to increase troops to test Prime Minister Yamauchi's intentions." The two Takeda brothers sang in harmony.

"Your Highness!" Someone suddenly interrupted.

When Takeda Harunobu heard this voice, he was very familiar with it. It was the voice of Yamamoto Kansuke, the general who was becoming more and more trusted in the Takeda family.

"Come in." Kasuga Torasuna and Iitomi Saburobei, who were responsible for recording the meeting outline, stepped forward and opened the left and right barrier doors.

"Your Highness, Suwa came to report that someone kidnapped Dr. Shirokumon overnight."

"Have you found out who it is?" Takeda Harunobu was very interested when he heard the news.

"In return, this person has a Nanshin accent." Kansuke Yamamoto gave an answer that Takeda Harunobu was looking forward to.

"At this time, who would be sick and want to go to war in such a big way?" Takeda Nobushige had a judgment in his mind, but he was willing to give his brother a clue and let his brother show off.

"It's either Prime Minister Yamauchi or the heir of Habayashi Yamauchi!" Takeda Harunobu was very sure!

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" "That's right!" "Don't miss it!" All the retainers immediately agreed.

"The Yamauchi army in Suruga Shita County has gathered!" Yamamoto Kansuke said another piece of news.

"There is indeed something going on in the Yamauchi family!" Iito Homasa concluded that the Yamauchi family was weak.

All the Takeda retainers were overjoyed!
