Takeda Harunobu looked at his subordinates, the Hime Warriors, and saw that their expressions were getting serious, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"I have formed an alliance with the Imagawa family and the Hojo family, and now have two powerful allies.
They have salt and iron cloth, and they have ports. They can provide us with necessary supplies to make our lives better, as long as we give them Jiazhou gold.
Grab. Grab. But what about the future? "
Takeda Harunobu pointed at himself and said.
"The Wu Family Alliance is a joke, they are just afraid of trouble.
I can't beat them, they can't stand my harassment, and they have no interest in the barren Kai.
You chose to ally with me because you don’t want your back to be unsafe when you conquer a wealthy land.
Now, they are using supplies to stabilize me, but 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 and be willing to continue to provide cheap salt, cloth and iron to us Jiashin warriors!
Even now, the mining of Koshu gold is getting less and less every year, and we will soon have no gold to exchange for supplies.
Do you understand what this means? "
Takeda Harunobu smashed the document.
“Without gold, we will become begging wild dogs! Or continue to exchange for those expensive salts with rice that is not enough for us!
We are not wild dogs and we do not need handouts. We want salt, cloth, and iron tools, and we have to use our own hands to get them!
The alliance of the three families stabilized their rear and gave the Takeda family no worries.
I, Takeda Harunobu, worked hard to conquer Shinano in the north in order to enslave the Shinano people who are also mountain samurai?
no! You are not worthy!
Do you have any salt? Is there any cloth? Are there any iron tools? You have nothing!
I want to join hands with you so that the Jiaxin warriors can stand together and conquer the world outside the mountain together!
We have never been stronger, and we have never had such opportunities. Troubled times have arrived and the world is in chaos. It is the time for us, the Jiaxin Wu family, to expand their living space.
I want to go to Hokushin, I want to go to Kawanakajima, I want to defeat Uesugi Teruhora! I want her to understand that the Jiaxin martial arts family, who are tortured by the biting cold wind in the mountains, are not afraid of anyone!
Kawanakajima is not my goal, and it should not be your goal.
Our goal is Echigo salt, Echigo green hemp cloth, food from the Echigo plain, the outlet to the sea, and our living space!
With food, ports, and trading towns. We can attract businesses and build workshops, and from then on we will have endless salt, endless cloth and ironware.
So please lend me your strength.
Try our best! No, it is a burst of power that is more powerful than full strength! Follow me to seize our future! "
After Takeda Harunobu finished speaking, tears were already streaming down his face. She sat on her knees and bowed deeply to her subordinate Ji Ji.
"In order for our children to eat salt anytime, anywhere, please give me a chance!
please! Zhu Ji! "
The eyes of the Jiaxin Wu family under his command were red, and many of them were lowering their heads and wiping tears.
Outsiders can't imagine how much the mountain people have to pay to obtain a little bit of coarse salt, a little cloth, and a little iron in this barren land.
There is a lack of arable land in the mountains.
The Kai Basin, Suwa Basin, and Nagano Basin are already large plains, and they still cannot produce much food or support many people.
Even so, they still have to trade precious rice with outsiders in exchange for indispensable salt cloth.
昘戅 League of Legends YxlMxSw .CoM 战戅. There are gold mines in the mountains, which can be exchanged for money. But miners in the feudal era were not a good profession. Going into the mines was no different than seeking death.
Even then, the gold mines would dry up, and miners would have to run around looking for new mines. Only by finding new mines can we have food to eat, and only then can we be qualified to continue working in the mines and seek death.
The pain of the Koshinobu family was clearly stated 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 were too powerful, and the Takeda family could not defeat their alliance.
Then the only option is to turn north and capture Shinano Country. Then continue north to find another way out, which is the wealthy Echigo Country.
Teru Uesugi gathered troops on Kawanaka Island, which was also a temptation for the Takeda family.
As long as he can defeat Uesugi Terutora's army in one fell swoop and end the myth of the bravery of the Echigo samurai family. The Koshin samurai family had the courage to continue marching north and capture Echigo Kingdom.
The Takeda family needed a big victory to enhance their confidence in marching north and lay the foundation for their subsequent conquest of Echigo.
Moreover, the Kawanakajima Plain in Hokishin is fertile and can become a logistics base for the Takeda family to ensure supplies for the invasion of Echigo Country.
Echigo country has fertile plains, an outlet to the sea, gold and silver mines, green hemp cloth, sea salt, and everything the Takeda family wanted.
This is Takeda Harunobu's ambition. The Takeda family needs to fight their way out of the mountains and need a way out.
Takeda Nobulen made a quick decision, kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I am willing to follow the governor to Kawanaka Island and fight Uesugi Teruhora until the end. We will fight to the death!"
Someone showed up, and everyone's fighting spirit was ignited, and they all asked for a fight.
Even Nobu-kun Anayama, who had been hesitant before, came out and bowed and said.
"The Governor has a far-sighted vision, which is beyond my reach. The Aneshan family is willing to mobilize all its strength to accompany you to Beixin.
The Echigo samurai family has such a great reputation, I have long wondered how these guys dare to claim to be the most brave in Kanto.
This time I must let them know how powerful I and other Jiaxin Wu family are, and they will not dare to compete with me from now on! "
Among the Takeda family's retainers, the southernmost Anayayama family also requested a battle, and the fighting spirit of the retainers group instantly reached its highest level.
Takeda Harunobu nodded happily and said.
"A tiger must use all his strength to fight a rabbit. This war on Kawanakajima is a national war, and we must go all out.
I have made up my mind, and all the stocks of Jiazhou gold distributed to each house are mobilized.
All the materials that had been stored in the warehouse for many years were taken out, and the military strength was mobilized to the maximum.
In the direction of Nishi Ueno, the Hojo family has promised to send troops to contain it, so there is no need for too many troops to stay behind. "
Takeda Harunobu pointed to the door and shouted.
"Everyone go back, mobilize, and tell the retainers what this battle is for!
Let us do our best to win the Kawanakajima Battle! "
"Hi!"
The martial artists kowtowed to the ground one after another and walked out of the door quickly.
A few days later, Takeda Harunobu personally led the Kai army northward, gathering preparations from various families along the way, and advanced all the way to Hokushin.
Kai's national stone is 230,000 stones high, plus the conquered Nanxin, Zhongxin, and Dongshin, the total mobilization force is about 500,000 stones.
Coupled with the support of Koshu gold produced in Kai, the military supplies accumulated over the years were distributed to various households to encourage the raising of troops. This overloaded mobilization amounted to 700,000 koku.
Including Takeda Nobushige's Hokushin garrison, the Takeda family's army had a total of eighty troops, 20,000 soldiers, and countless peasants and soldiers.
For a time, storms gathered on Kawanaka Island.
Both sides are full of elites, their morale is high, and they are determined to win this battle.
