Where did Kosaka Masanobu go? What is the confidence behind Takeda Shingen's courage to be tough?
You know, even if the Suruga people kill chickens to scare the monkeys and frighten the retainers, Takeda Shingen still needs to give an explanation to the Kai people.
Today, the Takeda family is besieged on all sides and surrounded by powerful enemies. There must be an explanation and a way out.
It is true that Yamagata Masakage and Baba Nobharu are close confidants of Takeda Shingen, but they are also the leaders of the Genedai clan and the Hata clan, and they have the interests of their own samurai group to protect behind them.
When they helped Takeda Shingen react so violently when he was in the most difficult situation, they must have believed that Takeda Shingen could get through this.
So what did Takeda Shingen use to convince them?
When Takeda Shingen went on a killing spree at Sunpu Castle, Kosaka Masanobu had already passed the sea route and was about to enter the port of Minami Ise.
Back then, Nobutora Takeda helped Takeda Shingen recruit the pirate leader of Shima Country, Keitaka Obama. This time, it was Obama Keitaka who brought Kosaka Masanobu to Minami Ise.
This sea area is the hometown of Kohama Kagetaka. The journey is a thousand miles with a familiar road.
"Ugh..Ugh.."
Kosaka Masanobu glanced at Tenkai who was holding on to the edge of the boat and was vomiting, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Master Tianhai, your physique is worse than that of a child."
Takeda Rena, who was carefully held in Kousaka Masanobu's arms, was looking at the vomiting Master Tenkai with curiosity, and had no idea what seasickness was or what the nun was doing.
Tianhai vomited and vomited, his throat was burned uncomfortably by stomach acid, and in the end he vomited only sour water. Only then did he finally regain his breath. He fell down on the board of the boat so weakly that he lamented.
"I don't have Your Highness's talent. I dare not compare with her. But it's not bad to vomit to death like this. At least I don't have to worry anymore."
Kosaka Masanobu smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, Master. Even if you die on the road, I will take your body to Duowen Mountain City and hand it over to Jindo Hall for disposal."
Tianhai lay on the board of the boat, looking up to the sky with a sad smile without any trace of Daogoni.
"Your Highness Takeda is truly a ruthless person. I will not be able to escape this disaster after all."
Kosaka Masanobu glanced at her, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.
It was Takeda Shingen and Kosaka Masanobu who committed the evil in Yantian City back then, as well as this Tenkai who was forced to participate once by Takeda Shingen.
This time, Takeda Shingen asked Kosaka Masanobu to go to Tawenyama Castle. Kosaka Masanobu knew that this trip would lead to a narrow escape from death.
But except for Kosaka Masanobu, Takeda Shingen didn't trust anyone else at all to hand over Takeda Rena. She couldn't trust anyone else.
No one knows how Shiba Yoshigan will react to Kosaka Masanobu bringing Takeda Reina to meet with Amami.
Takeda Reina will be fine, but this does not mean that Shiba Yigen will let go of Kosaka Masanobu and Tenkai who once humiliated him.
Kosaka Masanobu had to come because of Takeda Shingen's child. As for Master Tenkai, he was the abandoned son thrown out by Takeda Shingen, giving Yoshigami Shiba a channel to vent his anger.
Takeda Shingen and Kosaka Masanobu didn't know that Tenkai was actually the half-sister of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and she had the blood of the Ashikaga Shogun family in her body.
They didn't even know that the time in Yantian City was not the first time between Sibo Yiyin and Tianhai.
Tianhai could only lament the retribution of karma in his heart at this moment. After running away in circles for these years, running from Konki to Kanto, and hiding in the Kai Mountains for so long, he still couldn't escape this karma.
She was also relieved, this was her life, and she was not unjust if she could die in the hands of Si Bo Yiyin.
Kosaka Masanobu was willing to go on a journey of almost death for Takeda Shingen, and there was even a glimmer of desire in his heart, looking forward to seeing the boy he once was.
Both he and she were loved ones, and they could hand over their children to him with their own hands. Even if he died for this, Kosaka Masanobu would have no regrets.
But Takeda Shingen doesn't seem to think so.
Kosaka Masanobu didn't know where Takeda Shingen got his confidence. She always felt that Takeda Shingen, who was besieged by various forces after his failure in Shangluo, seemed to have won the world and was very happy.
Looking back in the direction of Suruga Country, Kosaka Masaru understood confidently that Takeda Shingen should have raised his butcher knife against the Suruga people and forcibly suppressed the dissatisfied voices of the Takeda family.
Takeda Shingen worked hard to conquer the territory of the Three Kingdoms. Takeda's army killed all directions and the road to conquering cities and territories was exhausted.
What Takeda Shingen is doing is nothing more than eliminating dissidents, unifying ideas, and turning the core territory into a rock that will break his teeth if he wants to bite it.
The Suruga clan, which is most easily shaken, will be abandoned first. If the Shinano clan becomes unstable, Takeda Shingen will not hesitate to suppress it bloodyly.
Even among the Kai warriors, whoever dares to step out and cause trouble will surely die.
Strong fortresses are often broken through from the inside. Takeda Shingen is ready to defend the Koshinobu Mountains and form a group of hedgehogs to stab people. The Takeda retainers group must either obey or die.
The only reason why Takeda Shingen dared to take this path was in the arms of Kosaka Masanobu.
Takeda Rena, this daughter with the blood of Shiba Yoshigan, was the reason why Takeda Shingen persuaded the powerful military leaders such as Baba Nobharu and Yamagata Masakei.
From then on, the battlefield was not on the conquest road, but on the court.
Takeda Rena is the only descendant of Yoshigan Shiba and the eldest daughter and grandson of the Shiba clan. As long as Shiba Yigen is willing to recognize this daughter, the Takeda family will not lose, and may even win more.
Kosaka Masanobu recalled the last night he left Suruga Country. Takeda Shingen held Takeda Rena for the whole day and refused to let go.
Every time Takeda Rena wants to get off the ground, Takeda Shingen hugs her tighter.
"Rena doesn't like mom?"
"like."
"Reina won't forget mom, right?"
"Ha, ha."
Takeda Shingen teased his daughter with his hands, but there were tears in his eyes.
With all the best intentions, Reina would be three years old by the time summer came. After spending three years together day and night, Takeda Shingen was willing to let go of his child and travel far away. That was a piece of flesh that fell from her body.
Now that Rena Takeda is gone, mother and daughter don't know when they will meet again. How many people have memories from before they were three years old? Takeda Shingen will disappear forever in Rena's life and memories.
Takeda Shingen was unwilling, but had no choice. The Takeda family is about to fall, and it is not safe for Takeda Reina to stay in Kai Country. The best choice is to send her to Shiba Yoshigan.
On the other hand, Sibo Yiyin is alone and will inevitably love this unexpected daughter, even if the birth of her daughter is not what he wanted.
Generally speaking, the stubborn stone that is the Kai-Takeda family needs the key of Takeda Rena to unlock it, otherwise it will always be an unstable factor lying there.
The two countries of Shinano and Kai are connected to Echigo at one end and Suruga at the other. Takeda Shingen has been operating here for many years. If she is not convinced, Tokaido and Hokuriku on both sides of the island country will not be able to think of peace.
This is the political wealth she left to Reina Takeda.
As long as Takeda Shingen can hold on in the Koshinobu Mountains, Shiba Yoshigan must ensure Takeda Rena's future, both publicly and privately.
Takeda Shingen didn't care about her own future. She was ruthless towards the rebellious people in the Takeda family, just so that her daughter could have a better future.
Until this time, Takeda Shingen did not know that Uesugi Teruhu was pregnant. Otherwise, her motherly love to protect the calf will be more ruthless, causing the hostile forces inside and outside Takeda to pay a greater price.
———
Takeda Shingen failed to go to Luo, and he resolutely chose to pave the way for his daughter. To this end, he did not hesitate to kill, but also to stabilize the foundation of the Takeda family.
At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who had killed the Asai Asakura family, also returned to Azuchi Castle and started a new plan.
Although Gifu City is good, Mino Country is too far away from Kyoto, which is not conducive to controlling the nearby center of the world.
After Oda Nobunaga captured Minami Omi Kannonji Castle, he had Kannonji Castle demolished and a new city built in Azuchi Village not far away so that he could guard Minami Omi's transportation hub in the future.
Hashiba Hideyoshi thought of demolishing Otani Castle and building her own new castle in Kitaomi, and she also got inspiration from Oda Nobunaga.
Azuchi Castle has now been built. After Oda Nobunaga celebrated his victory in Gifu Castle, he moved his residence here and officially moved into Azuchi Castle, taking control of the situation in Kyoto nearby.
As Takenaka Shigeharu expected, Oda Nobunaga learned the lesson after experiencing the embarrassment of Nobunaga's siege, and decided to outsource military tasks and personally control the core territory and central politics.
Hashiba Hideyoshi was entrusted to Kitaomi, and later it was reported from Azuchi Castle that Shibata Katsuie would be arranged to go to Echizen Kingdom, and Sakuma Nobumori led troops to Kitaise Nagashima to exterminate Ichikui.
In Oda Nobunaga's vision, the Noo Plains of Owari and Mino Ryogoku would be the core territory in her hands and the ballast stone to stabilize the family business.
Minami Ise Kitahata Nobabao, Kita Omi Hideyoshi Shiba, Echizen Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobunori will also stay in Minami Ise after the suppression of Kitahata.
The important ministers of the Oda family will be slowly moved out of Owari and Mino, enriching the new leadership of the Oda family, forming frontal armies, and expanding in all directions.
Once done, the territory continues to move outward. If you do something bad, you will be severely punished and deprived of rewards. Everything can be taken or snatched, it all depends on Oda Nobunaga's thoughts.
With a reward in one hand and a big stick in the other, Oda's retainers became the hungry wolves under Oda Nobunaga who were always half-starved. No one could just lie down and enjoy the blessings. They had to rush forward desperately to keep their wealth.
Oda Nobunaga's thoughts were beautiful, but her samurai were not stupid either.
After confirming Oda Nobunaga's intention, the Owari old warrior family began to buy the Shiba family's real estate on a large scale, with a premium so high that it even made Takada Yono stunned.
Not only the real estate owned by Shiba, but also the stocks of the Hokurikudo Trading Road, and the food stamps printed by the Shiba family. Anyway, they would buy whatever was on the market.
The old Owari warriors were like wandering mothers who had been hungry for three days and three nights. They desperately snapped up all kinds of Shiba assets regardless of cost-effectiveness.
Under the madness of the old Owari samurai, Maeda Toshiie from Mino country also inspired many Mino samurai to join the ranks of investing in Shiba's assets.
Behind the Owari Mino samurai's purchase of assets at high premiums regardless of cost performance is the growing sense of unease among the samurai from the two countries.
Oda Nobunaga reformed and centralized power, and the power in his hands far exceeded the restraint ability of the retainers. The ruts between Lin Xiuzhen and Ando Mamoru made all the Owari Mino samurai have to consider their retreat.
He followed Oda Nobunaga into the war, and if he won, the territory he had managed for many years would be sealed off, and he would have to continue his struggle in a strange place.
Even if Oda Nobunaga was generous and gave more stone to the new territory, what's the point? As long as he loses one day, Oda Nobunaga will take away his territory as soon as he turns his face.
It was not an old territory that had been run for generations. The local martial arts families had a deep interest relationship with the lord. The tribesmen in the new territory would not be of the same mind as the lord, and it would be difficult to cause a rebellion even if they wanted to.
In this case, it is better to buy more real estate in Shiba, Hokurikudo stocks, and food stamps from the Shiba family. At least, I can leave more wealth for my family.
The day I was disgusted and abandoned by Oda Nobunaga, at least I could go to Spurling and live as an apartment, so that my whole family wouldn't starve to death.
When everyone in the Oda retainers group had this idea, there was a rush of buying that even Takada Haruno had not expected.
The three new economic policies designed by Takada Yono for the Shiba family were instantly revived by the local tycoons from Owari Mino, and concerns about the stagnant economic development of the Hokurikudo trade route were instantly eliminated.
Oda Nobunaga overturned the entire Higashi Konji, and the Oda army looted all the north and south Omi, and Mount Hiei. But in the end, a large part of this wealth ended up in the hands of the Shiba family inexplicably.
Life is really a wonderful journey.
———
Azuchi Castle, castle tower.
Oda Nobunaga has been in a very good mood recently and everything is going well.
Sakuma Nobumori retreated without permission during the original three-party battle. Although this was not the instruction of Oda Nobunaga, it was in line with Oda Nobunaga's wishes.
Tokugawa Ieyasu suffered a disastrous defeat at Mikatahara, and rumors of feces and urine spread everywhere, severely smearing the leader of the Matsudaira ZTE and greatly damaging his prestige.
The country of Yuejiang was beaten to pieces by the Takeda army, and the vitality accumulated by Tokugawa Ieyasu in several years of business was almost emptied.
Takeda Shingen also failed to continue to Luo, and Uesugi Hojo stabbed her in the back, forcing her to go back to her own territory to put out the fire.
Oda Nobunaga's external and internal troubles were almost eliminated, and he began to concentrate on thinking about how to exile Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Nijo Castle so that he, the elder of the Taira clan, could further become the pillar of the samurai family.
Her only dissatisfaction came from a piece of information from the Koga clan.
While Takeda Shingen withdrew his troops from Suruga Kingdom, he sent Kosaka Masanobu and his heir to take a boat to Minami Ise and use the road to enter Yamato Kingdom.
Oda Nobunaga remembered that before Takeda Shingen became a monk, he seemed to have adopted an abandoned baby as an adopted daughter.
Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but sneered.
This Takeda Shingen is really cunning. He adopted a baby girl of unknown origin as his adopted daughter, established him as his heir, and then threw him into the near future as a hostage. He wanted to use this to gain room for maneuver for the Takeda family?
If Takeda Shingen wanted to bow to the Oda family, this child would naturally be sent to Azuchi Castle to beg for his forgiveness. But she secretly sent the child to Konji and took a detour to Yamato Country.
Does Takeda Shingen want to send his children to Beijing? Impossible, that trash from Nijo Castle would certainly not be Takeda Shingen’s choice.
Then there is only one possibility, Takeda Shingen wants to send the child to Tamonyama Castle and hand it over to Shiba Yoshigan.
The Kai-Takeda family was a famous Genji family in Kawachi, Yoshigan Shiba was the elder of the Genji family, and Takeda Shingen's act of entrusting his daughter was not considered rude to Meng Lang.
This Takeda Shingen is really evil and wants to find a way out for the Takeda family through the operation of Shiba Yoshigan.
After all, Yoshigan Shiba must also be very annoyed that the Kanto Palace made an unprovoked commotion and sent troops to attack the Takeda Territory.
Oda Nobunaga secretly laughed.
Shiba Yoshigan couldn't control the Kanto Palace. Takeda Shingen wanted to use a picked-up child to pass the test. How could it be so easy?
Even if Takeda Shingen begs for mercy, he has to send his child to Azuchi Castle to beg for mercy from me, Oda Nobunaga.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga summoned Mitsuhide Akechi, who was in Kyoto, to come to Azuchi Castle for questioning.
