Umino Riichi's rare outburst made Sanada Nobushige a little afraid.
"This... it's not like that... I have already warned Daxiong Chaoxiu. She is someone who cherishes her life and does not dare to risk her life with us."
Umino Riichi stared at Sanada Nobushige, his eyes seemed to be on fire.
"Why are you threatening her?
If you make her stand down in public, if she really swallows it like this, how will she be able to manage the shrine in the future? Can she still be considered one of the three giants of the Kanto shrine?
Back then, she was a ruthless person who could not defeat the Sword Master Kamizumi in a duel. You think you can scare her with the word "desperate", but they have many ways to deal with it!
The Hokurikudo trade route was said to have been interrupted when the Shiba Oda War began. Naoe Jinguan Post sealed off all warehouses and collected market supplies, preparing to fully cope with the logistical supplies of the Kamikawa War.
Our dried matsutake and kapok cloth can no longer be shipped out. It is still unknown whether we can get back the trade route shares and merchant ship positions previously given by Jinduoden.
Your performance on the board of directors will inevitably be spread to the ears of Tsudo-dono. Tsudo-dono may be generous, but will his trust in you be as deep as before?
Do you think that in Tsutadoden's heart, you can be compared with the luck of the mountain and the strength of the island?
As long as the favor of Jinduo Palace is not there, Daxiong Chaoxiu will definitely dare to attack you. She doesn't need to do any tricks, as long as she gives a little hint, her followers will naturally cause us trouble.
In and out of storage, air-drying and moisture-proofing, as long as we are a little slack in the performance, is it difficult to let our dried matsutake and kapok cloth become moldy and rotten? Why would it be difficult for us to transport supplies for several months?
The king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. If he wants to make us uncomfortable, there are many ways. Do you want to go to the execution office and meet Daxiong Chaoxiu in battle for a few small mistakes in execution?
At that time, will Jinduo Palace blame Daxiong Chaoxiu for his poor management and lax control of his subordinates, or will he be angry with you for making a fuss out of a molehill and acting wantonly? "
Sanada Nobushige was speechless. In the past few years, she has been drifting a bit.
After Umino Riichi vented her anger, she had returned to normal, she said calmly.
“Things are already like this, nothing more can be done to solve the problem.
I just hope you understand that you can gain a firm foothold in the land of Nishi Ueno, relying on the kindness and care of Tsudo Hall, and relying on money and food to win the hearts of everyone in the tribe.
Having lost Tsutado-don's trust and offended Daxiong Chaohide, your shallow foundation may be shaken at any time, and the Sanada people are already on the edge of the abyss.
For now, we can only fully participate in the Shiba Oda battle and use our best method to win back the trust of Tsutama.
Please remember that the Sanada people are not afraid of death. We are the best soldiers in the world, and we are the sharpest swords and guns in the hands of Tsudado.
Please stand at the forefront of the battle with the Sanada clan. In order to win back the trust of Tsutado Hall and the future of the Sanada clan, lead everyone to die bravely.
Only by recovering enough military merit can Daxiong Chaoxiu be wary and not dare to take action casually.
If possible, I hope you can bring back some Shiba preparations for the Sanada clan.
Only in that way can you be regarded as a true confidant of Jinduodian, instead of being neither good nor bad like you are now, humiliated by the followers, and trapped in Aduwu. "
Sanada Nobushige was silent for a long time before he replied weakly.
"In Tsudado's heart, am I really not as good as Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Shengmu? Do I still have a chance?"
Umino Riichi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and exhaled heavily.
Is this the point of what you just said? Is it this one! Toad wants to eat? Think crazy!
But looking at Sanada Nobunari's slightly disappointed expression, Umino Ri paused and said coldly.
"Go hiking if you have the strength. Don't be discouraged. There will be a long time ahead. I will help you."
Sanada Nobushige subconsciously glanced at Umino Riichi's cold face and suddenly laughed.
"Yeah! I know Liu Niang treats me best."
———
Yoshigan Shiba, who returned to Kyoto, did not feel relaxed because the problems of military expenditure and artillery were solved. Subsequent troubles were popping up one after another, making him unable to rest at ease for a moment.
In Sibo's mansion, all the important ministers gathered.
Nizi Katsuhisa, Maeda Yoshihide, Akechi Mitsuhide, Kamao clan, Ii Naomasa, and other concubines, together with the chief Yoshigoshi, were listening to the report of the third husband of Momochi.
Yiyin rubbed his temples with his hands, feeling quite helpless.
An unexpected outburst led to an early duel between the Shiba and Oda families. Not to mention Oda Nobunaga was caught off guard, and Yoshihiro himself was not prepared.
Takada Harano's two million stone military expenditure temporarily relieved Yiyin's urgent needs, but unifying the opinions and mobilizing the army was still a big trouble.
After Bai Di San Tai Fu finished his report, he kowtowed to the ground, and Yi Yin waved his hand for her to leave first.
"What do you think of the current situation?"
Nizi Shengjiu smiled bitterly.
"Although your Majesty is a leader of the Wu family, he responds to every call. However, in recent years, many military forces from Guandong have joined forces in Luo, and the supplies required are too huge, and it is really difficult to dispatch them.
On the Sakai Port side, there is military expenditure raised by Takada Yono, and on the Naoejin Checkpoint side, Mr. Ohuma Asahide is also sorting out the warehouse supplies.
Fortunately, the Hokuriku Road trade route has been open for four years, and many accounts can be exchanged. As long as the accounts can be transferred, the balance of military expenditures on both sides is not a big problem.
But this will take time, and I’m worried that the logistical arrangements will be delayed until late autumn or even into winter. Hokuriku Road is heavily snowed and roads are blocked, so things are prone to change. "
Yiyin nodded.
Military spending is sufficient, but it also takes time and energy to convert military spending into military supplies and use them in logistical supplies.
The Hokuriku Expressway is four hundred kilometers long, and the road from Sakai Port to Naoetsu is even more than a thousand kilometers long. Just handling accounts on both sides is extremely cumbersome, not to mention the scattered and long supply lines.
Fortunately, the Hokuriku Road trade route is mainly based on sea transportation, and there are three core ports: Tsuruga Port, Nanao Port, and Naoetsu. Material transportation is not a problem, and the logistics of the coalition forces on Luo are guaranteed.
Nizi Katsuhisa is right. It is midsummer now. If the logistics arrangement is delayed until late autumn and winter, the Hokurikudo will be frozen for thousands of miles, and both land and sea routes will be closed.
Now Oda Nobunaga wanted to wait for work, so he calmly waited for Yoshigan to gather his men and horses to fight.
But what if she sees the ice on Hokurikudo and changes her mind to break through them one by one, taking advantage of the gap between autumn and winter to attack the nearby Sibo Territory?
Yoshigan was not confident that he could, under the powerful offensive of the Oda family, drag out the war until the spring melted, and wait until the Kanto army arrived for reinforcements.
Maeda Yoshida snorted coldly and said.
“Even if the Oda family waits for us to gather our troops, this battle will not be easy to fight.
Your Majesty just heard what the Third Taifu of Baidi said. Judging from the situation at the Grand Council of the Kanto Palace, the Kanto Warrior Family is not very willing to fight.
Our military strength is spread far and wide, and there are many people in disarray. If we cannot unite as one, how can we compete with the Oda family?
Akechi-hime walks freely around Oda's house, and many of the princesses are murmuring in their hearts. I'm afraid that if your will to fight is not strong, your strength will be wasted in vain, and the gain will not be worth the loss. "
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He acquiesced in Mitsuhide Akechi's efforts to divide and shaken the Oda family, and the effect was very good. But what he didn't expect was that it was not only the Oda retainers who were shaken, but also his own party members who were also panicked.
It was said that they were going to fight to the death, but the bosses of both sides kept secretly communicating. Under such circumstances, it is strange that the people below did not panic.
Maeda was angry that the morale of his troops was shaken, and took the opportunity to accuse Akechi Mitsuhide of nonsense. But Yiyin knew that this was actually his fault.
Because he really didn't want to completely fall out with Oda Nobunaga. Before the war started, he was thinking about how to stop the war. He deserved to be in the current predicament.
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't care about Maeda's accusations of interests, and said to Yoshigan with a smile.
"Your Majesty, there is something interesting about the East China Sea Road.
The Hojo family responded positively to your call, but they are unable to pass through the Takeda Territory of Suruga Province. I hope you will guarantee the passage to the Takeda family.
The Takeda family also responded positively to your call, but they could not trust Hojo, fearing that this was a false plan by the Hojo family to conquer the country.
His Highness Tokugawa personally wrote to you and His Highness Oda, imploring his brothers and sisters to consider peace as the most important thing. He is a good sister who has been greatly favored by the two kings. Now she is in a dilemma and has no choice but to help each other.
The Takeda, Hojo, and Tokugawa families are constraining each other, and no one can move if they are trapped in Tokaido. I think it is good for them to maintain the status quo. "
Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide was talking about him and ignoring him at all, Maeda was so angry that he glared and started to speak again.
Yiyin waved his hand to block the verbal battle that was about to break out between them, and said.
"Tōkaido can be left alone. I can't trust Hojo Takeda, and I can't figure out what Tokugawa Ieyasu thinks. Let the three of them wait and see.
Looking at it now, the ones with the strongest fighting spirit and fiercest loyalty are Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Sanada Nobushige, which makes me not know whether to laugh or cry. "
Yiyin is angry and funny.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, the Miyoshi family governor who was trapped in Kitakawachi, turned out to be the most active of all the recent daimyo, jumping higher than his allies like Hatakeyama Hosokawa Mibuchi.
I don't know what the three good family governors mean. She is trying her best to act like a loyal minister of the shogunate and a direct descendant of Shiba, and she is desperately clamoring to be a vanguard.
A letter of petition for war was delivered to Yoshigan, which was touching. Maeda Yoshi, a recent general, was not as passionate as Miyoshi Yoshitsugi.
It was as if it was not her, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who was pinned to the ground by the Shiba family and other families in the land of North Hanoi last year and was beaten wildly.
In Kanto, the most active person is Sanada Nobushige. This wild monkey made a lot of nonsense at the Great Review of the Kanto Palace, saying that the fight was for the sake of the Wu family, not for the Shiba family, and that he wanted to fight in tears.
If Sanada Nobunaga hadn't dragged the big council forward, the mood in Kanto might have been even lower and even more perfunctory.
Although the three giants of the Kanto Palace were close confidants of Yi Bank, they were far less effective than Sanada Nobushige in this matter.
Daxiong Chaoxiu controls the execution office, but no matter how active she is, she is still the captain of the logistics team.
A group of followers are too busy delivering supplies, so they won't go into battle and wield knives, right? If you don't kill people, you won't be able to speak forcefully, and you will always lack charisma.
The main force under Yamazaka Yukimori is the Shimoyoshizhong, Kaji Jingzuna and Honjo Shigenaga, who have now been fed by the Kanto Shisho.
It is not difficult to make them obey, but it is difficult to go to Luo as actively as last time and fight to the death for the Sibo family.
The same is true for Shima Sheng Meng's subordinates. The old Peking University Kazuzu and Iga people were silently excluded by the big bosses like Shiba Leader in recent times.
They finally found a place in Kanto, so what do they want after coming back?
The tribesmen of Yamazaka Yukimori and Shima Shengmeng followed Yoshigan early and reaped many benefits, so they will definitely listen to Shiba Yoshigan's words.
But being obedient does not mean being active. If Sanada Nobushige hadn't worked hard to fight for chicken blood, and the mother-in-law and mother of the Kanto Hospital had not mobilized, I don't know how long it would have been delayed.
Regardless of whether Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Sanada Nobushige had other intentions in their hearts, their performance has stimulated the enthusiasm of the samurai families in Kanto in recent years, and Yoshigan must record this credit.
Maeda said angrily after hearing Yoshiyin praising these two people.
"Maeda Toshiie-sama is also very active."
Yiyin glanced at her, a little surprised.
Maeda Toshiie and Maeda Toshiba used to be aunts and nephews with deep feelings, but because of the troubled man Shiba Yoshigage, the two of them had long been at odds with each other.
Although the two sides are called the Shiba family and the Maeda family, the Iga Maeda family and the Owari Maeda family actually feel that they are not close but not far apart.
If Maeda Rihisa hadn't been dealing with the relationship between his daughter and sister, the relationship would have become even more estranged.
Yoshigan did not expect that Maeda's interests would speak for Maeda Toshiie.
Maeda Yoshida was embarrassed by Yoshigan's strange look and said.
"I'm just talking about the matter. Leader Owari Shiba is indeed loyal this time and is no weaker than her."
Yiyin nodded.
"Lee's treatment of me has always been the same."
Maeda Toshiie stubbornly refused to allow Oda Nobunaga to send troops to take over Mino Province, and it was obvious that he wanted to be the thorn in the heart of the Oda family.
This attitude was dangerous and was enough to arouse the wrath of Oda Nobunaga. With Oda Nobunaga's current position of power, there are really not many people who can withstand her wrath.
I have to say that Maeda Toshiie is courageous. Moreover, she also has the ability to twist the retainers led by Owari Shiba into a rope.
The governor had already passed through the Ryobai Mountains and evacuated his retainers' wives and heirs to the Hokuriku Road, showing his loyalty to fight to the death.
This kind of generous attitude has been seen by Yoshigan in Sanada Nobushige's group of mountain people from the Koshin Mountains. Now it seems that the mountain people in the Ryobai Mountains are not easy to mess with either.
Maeda's interest spoke for Maeda Toshiie from a business standpoint, but when Yoshigage really praised Maeda Toshiie, she couldn't stand it, so she curled her lips and stopped talking.
Akechi Mitsuhide said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's midsummer now. Do you think it's possible to fight against the Oda family this fall and winter?"
Yiyin shook his head.
“The biggest problem on Hokurikudo is winter snow. Heavy snow blocks roads and makes it difficult to fly.
Even if I have Sakai Port and Naoetsu to help me, and the material preparations go smoothly, if I want to complete the logistics supply, I will have to wait until the end of autumn no matter how quickly I want it.
By that time, even if the Kanto Princesses could mobilize the Kanto Princesses to send troops, it would be difficult for the army to pass through the frozen Hokuriku Road.
What I am most worried about now is that Oda Nobunaga will change his mind.
Oda Nobunaga has always pursued utilitarianism in her work. If she sees my huge flaw, I can't guarantee that she will take advantage of winter to launch a surprise attack on my recent wave leader to gain an advantage. "
