The cost of living of the mountain people is directly related to the stability of the Takeda family's rule in Kai and Shinano.
Prices in Shinano were soaring, but Takeda Shingen didn't feel any change in prices in Kai Kingdom. This made her instantly understand who was profiting from it behind her back.
The distribution market of the Tokaido trade route is in Suruga country. The three countries along the way, namely Mikawa, Enjie, and Suruga, are the core section of the trade route. These three countries used to be the territory of the Imagawa family.
In the heyday of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Owari Province was completely suppressed by her. The mother of Oda Nobunaga, who rose at this stage, actually relied on the growth of the Owari Kingdom business circle and had no obstruction to the Tokaido trade route.
Recently, the caravan has left Zhang Country, passed through Imagawa Mikuni, and arrived at the Sunfu City Distribution Market.
At that time, the Takeda family, which was allied with the Imagawa family, was attacking the Shinano Kingdom, and the Hojo family was conquering the Kanto Plain, both of which needed a lot of material support.
Behind these two families, the Imagawa family used the Tokaido trade route to trade with the two allies. The Takeda family owns Koshu gold, and the Hojo family owns Izu gold. These are wealthy people with gold mines at home.
As a result, Imagawa Yoshimoto made a lot of money from the war and accumulated a lot of wealth relying on the Tokaido trade route. She also standardized the family system by implementing the Imagawa Kana Directory, which can be said to be excellent in internal affairs.
It's a pity that she was so unlucky. When she was at her most powerful and high-spirited, she was killed in a surprise attack by Hiromito Oda Nobunaga in Ozazama, and she lost the possibility of further developing her business.
When Imagawa Yoshimoto was killed in battle, he was followed by a group of cronies, completely burying the core group of the Imagawa family. This was the reason why the heir, the Imagawa family, was really unable to control the situation, and the Imagawa family declined rapidly.
Warrior Ji is selfish and bullies the weak. The Wu family is a feudal warlord system that lacks institutional construction, and the regime is extremely unstable.
The family business often collapses quickly after the death of the British master and the death of a large number of core ruling groups. This is why the Wu family laments the cherry blossoms and feels sorry for themselves. Both of them rise and fall suddenly and cannot last long.
Talking back to today's Tokaido, Tokugawa Ieyasu occupied the two countries of Mikawa and Enji, and the Takeda family took the Suruga Kingdom. The two sides were tit-for-tat, and the Tokaido trade route was no longer as stable as before.
Caravan logistics is the most risk-averse economic activity. The chaos on the Tokaido Road allowed the Hokuriku Road trade route of Shiba Yoshibank to take advantage of the trend and steal a large amount of the market.
As more caravans took the Hokuriku Road, the Tokaido Road naturally decreased, and business profits and taxes fell rapidly, which was not good for Tokugawa Ieyasu and Takeda Shingen.
Therefore, Takeda Shinren came to request that Nobu-kun Anayama come forward to communicate with the Tokugawa family. Both parties tried their best to maintain the stability of the trade route. Takeda Shingen agreed without much thought.
The Takeda and Tokugawa families will inevitably have to decide the outcome in the future, but this does not affect making money together now. Who can have a grudge against money?
But when Kosaka Masanobu told Takeda Shingen that domestic prices in Shinano were exploding and Shinano people were very dissatisfied, her hesitant look immediately made Takeda Shingen react.
Prices in Kai are stable, but prices in Shinano are soaring. This must be the fault of the Kai people.
Nobu-kun Anayama got on the bus first and then paid the fare. This bastard must have colluded with Tokugawa Ieyasu for smuggling. At this time, even Takeda Nobuyan has been dragged into the water as a lobbyist, and he is already too weak to lose.
Takeda Shingen also regrets that he paid too much attention to the child Reina and did not have enough control over the situation in Suruga Country. He actually let Takeda Noburen and Anayama Nobu-kun be deceived. It was really a mistake.
The Kai clan has always regarded themselves as conquerors, Takeda Shingen treated the Huairou Shinō clan well, and the Suruga clan's attitude had long made the Kai clan uncomfortable.
Nowadays, the semi-independent Nobu-kun Anayama is operating in Suruga country, smuggling materials from the two countries of Tokaido controlled by the Tokugawa family, and then importing them into Shinano country through his own territory on the border of Suruga-Kai.
If she makes a lot of money, she will definitely bring the Jia Fei people to eat meat together and share the blame. Takeda Nobuyan, the leader of a sect, was dragged into the water, not to mention others, everyone must have a share.
Anyway, it was the Shinano people who were harmed. They didn't even have any psychological burden. The conquered deserved to be exploited.
But Takeda Shingen had to face a difficult situation. Prices in Shinano soared, the local samurai family was dissatisfied, and the rule of the Takeda family was already unstable.
But she couldn't kill the bastard Nobu-kun Anayama. Not to mention her identity as a sect member and a semi-independent master, it was hard for Takeda Shingen to speak openly about the matter itself.
Because the law does not punish everyone, because family scandals cannot be publicized.
Anesama Nobu-kun is smuggling, Takeda Noburen pleads for mercy, how many clean ones are there among the Kaibi people? Revealing this matter will only make Shinano people more resentful and will not be conducive to ruling Shinano Country.
Moreover, the Kai clan is the foundation of the Takeda family. Takeda Shingen cannot push the Kai clan to oppose him just for a little money.
Without the foundation of the Kai clan, what leverage does Takeda Shingen have to control the Shinano clan and the Suruga clan and make them obedient?
However, Takeda Shingen cannot just watch the Kai clan bully the Shinano clan. If she pretends to be deaf and dumb, the conflict between the Shinano clan and the Kai clan will intensify, and the Takeda family will have no future.
The Kai Kingdom has only over 200,000 pieces of stone, but it was Takeda Shingen who was able to conquer the Shinano Kingdom and Suruga Kingdom with a small one. That was Takeda Shingen's skill. What she was best at was dividing people and settling them one by one.
Although Shinano was large, the local samurai families were divided into Zhongxin, Nanxin, Dongshin, and Northern Shin, who fought on their own. Only then was Takeda Shingen and his gang captured one by one.
The same is true for the Suruga people.
The Imagawa family owned the Three Kingdoms of Tokaido. After the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, the family business was in turmoil, and the Mikawa Kingdom had a rebellious minister named Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Takeda Shingen and Tokugawa Ieyasu joined forces to divide the Suruga and Toe countries.
The Suruga clan was not so much conquered by the Takeda family as it was because the Imagawa family declined and the trees fell and the monkeys scattered. The Suruga people were persuaded by Takeda Shingen's diplomatic war and turned against the new master.
Therefore, Takeda Shingen seems to be fierce, but her core group, the Kai clan, did not overwhelm the strength of the Shinano clan and the Suruga clan. The process of conquest was actually very tricky.
But the mountain people like the Jia Fei people are short-sighted and think they are powerful. They were unwilling to be kind to those who surrendered, so Takeda Shingen's policy of treating newcomers kindly to win people's hearts was always unfavorable.
The more the ruling class can absorb elites from the ruled class, the more stable its rule will be.
The Wu family is inherently conservative and likes to work in small groups to make profits. The mountain people are even more conservative among conservatives, and there are fierce conflicts in the countryside.
Takeda Shingen has been working hard in the direction of mutual benefit and win-win, but the Kai people have been obstructing the efforts of the family governor out of considerations of their own interests.
Takeda Shingen, who could not change the nature of the samurai family, was helpless about it.
The samurai daimyo who can break through the limitations of the narrow nature of the islanders and infinitely expand their power may be the unscrupulous Oda Nobunaga and the cross-era thinking of Yoshigan Shiba.
The former is not afraid of trouble, and the latter is very imaginative. In a sense, these two people are really a pair of psychopaths made in heaven.
Takeda Shingen's disadvantage is that although she is very smart and capable, she is still too traditional and normal.
Therefore, she could see through the bad effects of Kai's people's wanton behavior, but she could not completely reverse this bad trend.
Takeda Shingen sighed and asked.
"Is there any news about the messenger you sent to Echigo?"
Kosaka Masanobu didn't expect Takeda Shingen to suddenly change the subject and talk about it first, but he still nodded.
"The person has been accepted by the Echigo side and is on his way to Kasugayama Castle.
It's just that His Highness Uesugi suddenly turned against us and allied with the Hojo family. I don't know if she is willing to accept my family's goodwill. "
Takeda Shingen pinched Reina's little face and couldn't help but smile lovingly when he saw how angry she looked.
"I never expected that Terutora Uesugi would change his mind. This time I sent you to deal with the matter of the Eastern Believers in order to give Tsutado-den an explanation.
Whether the Takeda-Uesugi family can be reconciled or not, the key lies not in Uesugi Terutora, but in Tsutado-den.
I think Takeda Shingen must have known about Rena's life experience, so he turned against me at all costs. "
Kosaka Masanobu said nervously.
"Ah! Then... then... Tsudo-dono already knows?"
Takeda Shingen shook his head and said.
"I don't know, but I guess Tsutadon doesn't know that he has a daughter yet. My gut tells me that Uesugi Teruhora wouldn't want Tsudadon to know about it.
Tsudaden's temperament is too affectionate, and no one can be sure what he would do if he knew he had such a daughter.
When the Eastern believers provoked Nishi Ueno, Tsutadoden's response was to calm down the matter. He was unwilling to intensify the conflict with me. This was for political considerations.
I judged that Uesugi Terutora didn't dare to bet on Tsutadodon's reaction and would choose to hide it from him, so he didn't immediately send troops to attack me.
She was waiting for Tsutaden to leave Kanto and return to Konki. "
Kosaka Masanobu looked at Takeda Shingen and said with a worried look on his face.
"My lord, you are in a difficult situation now, why not tell Tsutama about Reina.
Since he values friendship so much, for the sake of his children, he won't just look at you. . "
Takeda Shingen resolutely interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"no!
Chang Xin, I have left his blood with shameless means, how can I ask for more?
I am also a shameless woman, so I am asked to use my own child as a bargaining chip to beg for mercy from the man I insulted?
So am I still a human being? "
Takeda Shingen looked at Reina, his eyes full of love, his pupils slightly dilated, and he seemed to associate the face of that person from Reina's face.
She gently touched Rena's face and said calmly.
“I’m sorry, Changxin, I know you mean well, but I can’t do it.
I have been full of wits in my life. Many people say that I am cold-blooded and ruthless and can take advantage of anything. But only Rena, this love, I want to cherish.
Teruhora Uesugi is jealous of me. I got the treasure that she has been chasing so far, and now she wants to destroy me and Rena.
The Hojo clan had just seized power, but its position was unstable.
She did not dare to disobey Tsutama-den's imperial order on peace in Kanto. At the moment, she was actively communicating with the Oda family, hoping to cut my flesh and stabilize her position.
The Oda Tokugawa Alliance is far closer than I imagined. Tokugawa Ieyasu was a tolerant person, and she could take care of Oda Nobunaga's temper. He was also a powerful figure.
People like Nobu-kun Anayama are hooking up with her. I have to think of a way to teach the Kai clan a lesson in Suruga country.
Everyone said that I was very brave and mighty. I weakened the country with Kai and swallowed up both Shinano and Suruga. I dominated one side and the future was promising.
But what about the facts? I have been surrounded from all sides, and I don’t know if I can break this knot.
Uesugi, Hojo, Oda, Tokugawa, it makes me a little proud to think that these heroes in the world are all my enemies. "
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Takeda Shingen, Kosaka Masanobu pursed his lips, looked at Rena who looked at her mother inexplicably excited, and said.
"Master, with you here, the Takeda family is as stable as a mountain, and no one can shake it.
But what should Reina do in the future?
Takeda Nobuyoshi may not have the intention to collude with the Tokugawa family, but Anayayama Nobu-kun dares to join forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu for smuggling today, and he will do so in the future. . "
Takeda Shingen sneered.
"Just because of her, Anesama Nobu-kun?
Unless the Takeda family is completely exhausted, I don't think she would have the courage. When that day comes, I will naturally fulfill your wish and entrust Reina to Tsutado-den.
I would like to see if she, Nobu-kun Anayama, has the guts to harm Tsutado-den’s bloodline and give Reina to Oda Tokugawa, thinking that she can change her family fortune. "
Kosaka Masanobu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Takeda Shingen is proud, he is not stubborn. Reina has a layer of noble blood guarantee, and unless Tsudado doesn't recognize the child, no one will dare to mess around.
Not to mention Nobu-kun Anayama, even Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, how dare they casually harm Yoshigan Shiba's children?
As long as Takeda Shingen doesn't stick to his death and chooses to expose Reina's life experience if things go wrong one day, the child's safety should be no problem. One big and one small, at least one can be saved.
Takeda Shingen glanced at Kosaka Masanobu and couldn't help but said angrily.
"You don't think so highly of me?
I sent people to Echigo in order to let Tsudado suppress Uesugi Teruhora and continue to maintain the tacit understanding of non-aggression between the two sides.
As long as Uesugi Shiba doesn't enter the court, can Hojo Tokugawa stop me, Takeda Shingen? Let's see how I break the situation and give them a good look! "
Seeing that Takeda Shingen had swept away his previous melancholy and became confident again, Kosaka Masanobu smiled.
"Hey, I will follow you closely to witness your bravery and wisdom."
Takeda Shingen exhaled and said slowly.
"I'm still not sure whether Tsudoden knows that he has a daughter.
I asked you to send someone to Echigo this time to implore Tsutado-don to meet with me in Hokushin, also to judge this matter.
If Teru Uesugi could prevent him from coming to Hokushin, then he just didn't know yet and didn't want to embarrass Uesugi Teru.
If he insists on coming, he probably already knows. I took the child over and let him take a good look at how outstanding our child is. "
Takeda Shingen's face was calm, but her lips trembled slightly, betraying her inner excitement.
As Reina grew up, her previous desire to raise the child in secret faded away, and she became more and more eager to let Shiba Yoshigan know that she had given birth to a daughter for him.
Although this thought was hot, Takeda Shingen and Kosaka Masanobu both understood that the possibility of Shiba Yoshigan knowing about this matter was very small.
Otherwise, with Sibo Yiyin's temper, why would he not take any action yet? This is his eldest daughter.
