A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Yesterday, I was thinking about Nagano Yashimai's simplicity and sincerity. Today, Koheta wanted to kick this unlucky kid out.

The negotiations hadn't started yet, but Kansuke Yamamoto's conditions had just been announced. He asked for a high price and paid back on the spot. But before Xiaopingtai had thought about how to talk about it, the unlucky child lost his composure and knelt forward.

What is this? Force Xiaopingtai to agree?

Are you from our side or Takeda's side?

As soon as Nagano Yamasa saw that his son didn't say hello, he went to trouble Heita Xiao, and quickly asked his two sons-in-law to go up and drag him away.

"If Your Highness is truly sincere and loves the people as his own son, there will be a successor to the Shinshu Shou!" Koheita saw Nagano Yashima being carried out like a chicken by his brother-in-law Shirakawa Mitsuru, but he still had to say a few perfunctory words.

"I'm innocent, I apologize for the offence." Nagano Yasumasa also apologized. Although he was anxious, he was not as straightforward as he appeared.

This is the tragedy of a small country, being among big countries. Many things are not decided by him. This requires a game between big countries to decide the fate of their small countries.

But similarly, if today's matter of the Minawa clan's 7,500 captured soldiers cannot be properly resolved, Uesugi Terutora's prestige will suffer a devastating blow. I promise that no one will follow him in the future, and everyone will be alienated.

As far as the Yamauchi family is concerned, the Yamauchi family can only be said to be 50-50 equal to Takeda Harunobu. Coupled with the fact that the master died suddenly in his prime, he was still on the first level of the Takeda family. If the Nagano clan, who was an anti-Takeda Hojo force, were to die, the Takeda family would not only lose a powerful enemy. After occupying Nishi Ueno, the territory of 50,000 kan can allow Takeda Harunobu to immediately overwhelm the Yamauchi family.

save! The cost is so huge!

No help! The price is equally huge!

"Tanzheng, what do you think?" Uesugi Teruhu, who was sitting in the front seat, already knew that he was defeated.

If the lives of Kawada Nagachi, Yasuda Kagehiro and 1,800 people in Matsuyama Castle can be saved, it is not impossible to withdraw from Matsuyama Castle. Now that Ninja Castle has been betrayed, the Uesugi family has only an isolated castle in Matsuyama in North Musashi, and the Musashi business has completely failed.

"Let me think twice."

Koheta turned around and discussed with his old father-in-law, Harugong Hosokawa. The old father-in-law was also a scheming person and should be able to give his opinion.

Hosokawa Harugong and Koheita communicated softly and quickly. He believed that a one-year truce was okay, but if President A, Xiang, Xin, and Yue had to truce, all forces could not take action. They each take a year off to recuperate, and then try again next year.

An armistice alone would be nothing more than empty words. If I can't hit you, I'll hit him. Especially the Nagano clan, which suffered heavy losses, is just a piece of meat. If it cannot be preserved, it is better not to cease the war.

Koheita motioned to his old father-in-law to continue, and Hosokawa Harumiya glanced at Nagano Yamasa. He believed that the Takeda clan's request for the Nagano clan to cede the Kuragano area was too much and could never be agreed to.

Historically, the Takeda clan's attack on Nishi Ueno was based on the Sanada clan's attack on the Iwaki area in Azuma County and the Takeda main team's attack on the Kuragano area.

One south and one north are like a pair of pliers, clamping the Jilun City in the middle. It goes without saying that the power of the pincer offensive is feasible, and history has proven its feasibility. The Nagano clan was finally completely destroyed, and none of the twelve brothers-in-law could save the brother-in-law, Nagano Yashimai.

I would rather add more money, even adding three to five thousand guans is a trivial matter. The defense system of Nishi Ueno must be preserved, otherwise the Nagano family will be finished sooner or later.

As for the final transfer of Nanman Otsutsuki, the Takeda family actually used the Nagano family to pressure Yamauchi, and the Uesugi family to pressure Yamauchi. Politics is too complicated, and it can affect the whole body, and no one can be immune to it alone. In the age of warring states, no force can survive alone.

"His Royal Highness the Governor also has a weapon." Hosokawa Saime suddenly said while squatting next to her.

yes!

When he first started to learn how to cast Buddhist swords, Teruhora Uesugi also cast two of them, and those two are still in Nanman Town, Hamamatsu. The Uesugi family's gunners haven't been trained yet, so naturally, like the Yamauchi family, they can't be used.

It is estimated that Takeda and Hojo didn't know about this. They thought it belonged to the Yamauchi family, so they asked Kodaira for it.

"Brother, you have a good memory!" Xiao Pingtai hurriedly sent someone to tell Father William and the Spanish mercenary officer.

Everyone saw that Aji had brought in two Nanman people, and they didn't understand Xiao Pingtai's intention. But the Southern Barbarians were, after all, a diorama, and the samurai in the shogunate found it novel.

"This is Guillaume, the Chechidan missionary, and the one next to him is the owner of the Nanman merchant ship (actually it means the owner of the ship, because I really don't know what the second officer should be called in Japanese during the Warring States Period)."

"The Nanman big tube is not owned by our army, but is leased from the Nanman ship through missionaries." Xiao Pingtai directly pushed it.

Father William's Japanese is getting better and better now, and he has no problem communicating with others. After Xiaopingta said that, he spoke to confirm.

"These soldiers were indeed hired by Mr. Fujiwara from Captain Alfonso with a monthly salary of fifty taels of gold. As for these cannons, I borrowed them from the merchant ship and are not the property of Mr. Fujiwara."

Now it was Yamamoto Kansuke's turn to frown. Even if he asked for the Nanman's things, Xiaoheita would not be able to give them to him.

It is very realistic. Someone has had the idea of ​​​​Nanbaran Fune Kazuto before, and Yamamoto Kansuke, as an upper-middle-class samurai of the Takeda family, naturally knows this. The Hizen Matsuura family gathered 2,000 to 3,000 people to attack two Nanman ships with 3 to 400 people, but in turn they were beaten violently.

If the Nanman people knew that the Takeda family or the Yamauchi family dared to openly rob Nanman merchant ships, the East India Company's gunboats would come over and smash your port to pieces unless you stayed inland for the rest of your life. The broken boats of the Japanese navy are not enough to fit people's teeth.

"I wonder how much a Nanbaran barrel costs?" Kansuke Yamamoto asked as if he had no intention of doing so.

William now also understands Japanese people's sentiments and smiles knowingly. His face was filled with the glorious color of another lamb waiting to be saved who would receive the Lord’s glory and enter the Lord’s arms.

"As long as the teachings of the Father are allowed to be preached, I will give one free of charge to the Society of Jesus."

"Preach?"

"Yes, it would be better if your warriors were willing to be baptized and converted immediately."

Now it was Yamamoto Kansuke's turn to hesitate. Folang Jigun wanted it, but he could not agree to it because he could proselytize and convert.

"Can't you buy it?"

"Buy? The price is five thousand taels of gold." William seemed dissatisfied.

"Five thousand taels of gold, why don't you go..." Kansuke Yamamoto, who had seen countless world events, blurted out.

"I'm not lying. You already know that you have a knife. It's not that we won't give it to you, it's that we can't give it to you."

"You don't have to lie to me. Since I'm allowed to preach, I'll give it to one door, but what about the door of the Yamauchi family? We only want to send it to that door."

This smart man's mind moves too fast.
