Takeda Shingen touched Reina's hair and asked softly.
"Now that mother is back, can she stay in Kai Country for a little longer?"
Takeda Nobutora's eyes flashed.
"Aren't you doing a good job now? Why do you need me to come back and point fingers and talk too much?"
Takeda Shingen smiled helplessly.
"Mother is a bystander, so she should understand the Takeda family's current predicament better than I do, right?
Reina was favored by the saint, and the Takeda family seemed to have eliminated external troubles and stabilized the family business, but the internal undercurrent never stopped.
The Kai tribe swallowed up the big ones, and they bullied the Shinano tribe and the Suruga tribe to an extreme. The conflicts at home became more and more intense, and I could barely maintain a balance.
Suruga Kuni has decided to let go and leave it to the Sage. Therefore, I can be cruel to the Suruga people and kill the Suruga Princess samurai who are not good for the Takeda family without any scruples, so as to avoid any future troubles.
But there is no way for me to cut through the conflict between the Kai clan and the Shinano clan.
Although I used the method of division and disintegration to defeat the Shinano country one by one, the Shinano country was much larger than the Kai country. The conquest back then could only be done with gentleness, and the independence of the Shinano people was still too strong.
Kiso, Suwa, Hoshina, and Sanada, the leaders of the samurai families from all over Shinano, are afraid of my ruthless methods, not my sincere surrender to the Takeda family.
In addition, there is no peace in the Kingdom of Kai.
Nobu-kun Anayama colluded with Tokugawa Ieyasu to make profits through smuggling in Suruga Country. Oyamada Nobushige took too many benefits from the Hojo family and was always close to the Hojo family. He was even included in the military service account of the Hojo family.
The family members of the Genedai family prided themselves on their high achievements and never looked down on the people of Shinano. They tried their best to suppress and exploit the local samurai family in Shinano.
Even one sect. . Ever since Xin Fan died and Xin Lian came to power, his mind has become more and more confused. Does she really think she is capable?
I hit her several times in secret and overtly, and finally she woke up a little. But she actually spoke for Nobu-kun Anayama and helped Tokugawa Ieyasu smuggle. She was so stupid that I was speechless.
I, Takeda Shingen, seem to be famous, but in fact, Uesugi, Hojo, Oda, and even Tokugawa, these surrounding famous names are not worried about me.
They all know that the inside of my Takeda family is just a pile of mud, with no support to the wall.
If it hadn't been for the saint's mercy and protection of the Takeda family, once a group of females fought for the world, my Takeda family would have been the first to fall.
Strong fortresses are often breached from within. The interior of the Takeda family is the most fragile and contradictory among the powerful sects. There are loopholes everywhere, so how can we be invincible? "
Takeda Nobutora was silent as his daughter spoke frankly and revealed her true feelings. Naturally, Takeda Nobutora was very clear about the hidden dangers of the Takeda family. She, the former family governor, had also suffered enough.
The Kai clan's short-sighted greed, internal discord, and the Shinano clan's reluctant obedience and hidden selfish motives will sooner or later tear the Takeda family into pieces.
It is impossible for the Wu family to produce heroic masters from generation to generation. A powerful family governor like Takeda Shingen is rare in a hundred years. How can we still expect mass production?
The current Takeda family is controlled by Takeda Shingen, a tigress, but this tiger will eventually grow old and die. How many years can she remain in charge?
Once she dies, all the conflicts that she suppressed with her personal abilities will explode one by one, and the Takeda family will have great fun.
Takeda Nobutora said solemnly.
"So you want to break out of this dead situation and go to Hitachi Country to open up a new territory?"
Takeda Shingen smiled bitterly.
"The people in the mountains are afraid of poverty. No matter how I train the Jia Fei people, they will always be eager for quick success. They can only see the petty profits in front of them and wish they could move everything back to the mountains to enjoy themselves.
The stone heights of Kai and Shinano Ryogoku are also 600,000, but the despair in the ravines cannot support the future of the Takeda family. We must get out.
Hitachi Country has fertile plains, lakes and harbors, a sufficient population, and a long coastline.
The most important thing is that according to the Tone River diversion plan in the middle and lower reaches of the Bushe Giri Promotion Association, Hitachi Province will be the final exit after the Tone River is diversion. Do you know what this means?
The flooding that has plagued Musashi Country will be completely eradicated! The excess water from the Tone River will flow out to the sea through Shimo-Hitachi Ryogoku and become an endless source of irrigation for the Shimo-Hitachi Platform and the Hitachi Platform!
The three countries of Musashi, Shimoso, and Hitachi will be the biggest beneficiaries of the diversion project in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River. The total stone height of the three countries is likely to exceed two million stones! "
Takeda Nobutora gasped when she heard this. She had lived in Kyoto for a long time. Although she had heard a little about the water conservancy project that diverted the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, she did not study it as deeply as Takeda Shingen.
Uesugi Kenshin held the Sano leader, the gateway to Shimono, in his hand and stared at Shimono country.
In his heart, Hojo Ushimasa hopes to capture the security and Kamisō provinces on the Boso peninsula and complete the unfinished conquest since the second generation of Hojo.
But Takeda Shingen had different visions from the two of them. Takeda Shingen, who was far away in Kaiguo, jumped out of the traditional circle of Kanhachishu and discovered the profound development potential of Hitachi Kingdom with the eyes of a bystander.
The sixty-six countries in the world have a total stone height of only 20 million. Due to the diversion of the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, the three countries of Musashi, Shimoso, and Hitachi were able to reach one-tenth of the height of the stone in the world. It is simply outrageous!
General Manager, let’s not mention it for the moment. Both Musashi and Hitachi are vast plains with thousands of miles of fertile soil. Once the water conservancy and irrigation problem is solved, the rice production here will not rise at all.
Regardless of the dazzling chaos of the island country's martial arts, military affairs seem to be the biggest attraction. But in the final analysis, agricultural societies focus on food, and specifically in island countries, it is rice.
The basis of all military operations is to see how much rice the military lord can produce from land resources for military operations.
If you have enough rice, you can mobilize enough manpower, bribe the enemy's subordinates, and persist in the confrontation for a longer period of time. Having more rice reserves than the enemy is the confidence that you will win the war.
Rice comes from rice, and the most important thing for growing rice is water. Hitachi Plateau has many plains, coupled with abundant water resources, this is such an attractive and wealthy country.
For the Takeda family, the more interesting point is that no one is qualified to compete with Takeda Shingen for the title of this fertile land.
Both the Satake and Takeda families came from the Minamoto Yoshimitsu lineage. Hitachi guarded the Satake family's injustice and was replaced by the Takeda family of the same clan, which was in line with the tradition of the samurai family.
After Yoshigan nodded and agreed to the matter, Takeda Shingen had obtained the legal basis for ruling Hitachi Kingdom.
In terms of strength, the three powerful feudal lords of the Kanto Palace stand side by side, the Hojo family is eyeing the Boso Peninsula, the Uesugi family aims at Shimono Country, and other powerful samurai families have no confidence or ability to compete with the Takeda family for the Hitachi Kingdom.
Even if rewards were given based on merit in the end, the Takeda family would not be able to get the entire Hitachi Kingdom, and would have to give some small pieces to the powerful Takeda family who participated in the war.
But as long as Takeda Shingen can firmly grasp the title of Hitachi Guardian and occupy the seven northern Hitachi counties actually controlled by the Satake family, it will be enough to control the local samurai family of Hitachi Kingdom and rule the area.
Takeda Shingen said solemnly.
"Hitachi's conquest is related to the Takeda family's future. I will deploy my banner clan and Naomi clan to conquer and manage the Hitachi Kingdom. As for the Shinano clan and Kai clan, I am not going to let them interfere too much."
Takeda Nobutora glanced at his daughter and said.
"If you do this, but you have to eat alone, you will offend many villagers."
Takeda Shingen smiled.
"That's why I need my mother to take charge of the Kingdom of Kai for me, suppressing the ghosts and monsters in the house so that I don't dare to act rashly.
You have a reputation for being ruthless and killing people without blinking an eye. With you watching from the Jiaxin Mountains, I can stay in Hitachi Country with peace of mind and don't have to worry about instability in the rear. "
Takeda Nobutora sneered.
"I am already over seventy years old, and the anger from my early years has long dissipated. Over the years, I have fasted and chanted Buddha's name, and my practice has deepened. You actually encourage me to have murderous intentions again? You are not a woman to ruin my practice."
Takeda Shingen picked up his daughter, and the mother and daughter bowed to Takeda Nobutora together and said.
"Back then, I was coerced by the retainers and had no choice but to expel my mother. I am still being restrained and restrained, and I am suffering.
Ever since I gave birth to Rena, I have always had nightmares, dreaming that Rena was being forced at knifepoint by a group of retainers, expelling me, and following my old path.
Mother, I want to leave a clean Takeda family to Reina, please help me! I implore you, for Reina's sake, please help me! "
Reina was in Takeda Shingen's arms, her eyes looking at her mother and then her grandmother in confusion.
It is said that Takeda Nobutora can be cruel to Takeda Shingen after being married for generations, but when he meets Rena's clear and innocent eyes, his heart is as steely as to turn into softness around his fingers.
Takeda Nobutora reached out and touched Reina's little face, shook his head and sighed.
"That's all, Buddha said he would put down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, but for my little Linna, it doesn't matter if he raises his butcher's knife again.
As long as you trust me and are willing to delegate your power to me, I will turn into the angry-eyed King Kong and watch over the unruly people and rebellious officials in this Jiaxin Mountains for you. I will kill anyone who dares to ruin the good deeds of my family Reina! "
Takeda Shingen smiled.
"I certainly believe in my mother. You can act arbitrarily on Kai Shinano's military, political and financial power, but I won't question you.
You are in charge of Jiaxin, and I am in charge of Hitachi, and together we will work together to create a safe future for Reina, so that she can live a life without worries. "
Takeda Nobutora nodded and asked.
"What about Reina? Will she stay in Koshin or go to Hitachi?"
There is a hidden meaning in Takeda Nobutora's words.
Koshinobu and Hitachi are far apart. They are separated by mountains and rivers, as well as other people's territories. It is impossible for the Takeda family to have both hands. In the future, they must choose one of them as the core territory to train their team?
Does Takeda Shingen want to use Hitachi's resources to suppress the Koshinobu family, or does he want to completely abandon Koshinobu and start over in Hitachi?
This point must be made clear.
And wherever the Reina people are, that is the future of the Takeda family.
Because as Takeda Yoshinobu grows up, her team will inevitably be the Hime Warriors, which the Takeda family will rely on in the future. Wherever these people come from, that is the core territory of the Takeda family.
Regarding his mother's question, Takeda Shingen smiled slightly, pointed to Kosaka Masanobu who was silent next to him, and said.
"Reina is not in Koshinobu, nor Hitachi, but in Shiba Tongxinzhong.
The sage said that Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa were Rena's teachers, and asked Reina to go back to study together after her vacation with me.
Kosaka Masanobu has been serving as Rena's direct minister, taking care of her life in the center for me. She is also the future head of the Takeda family, assisting Rena in governing. "
Takeda Nobutora was stunned.
Tongxinzhong Group is the de facto center of the Sibo family and is directly led by Sibo Yiyin.
In particular, the Toshin Secretariat headed by Kamao Clan and Ii Naomasa controlled the power structure of the central government and attracted everyone's attention.
Takeda Yoshinobu is the eldest daughter of Yoshigan Shiba, and she was educated and raised by the leaders of the Doxinzhong, so she is likely to become the interest representative of the Doxinzhong in the future, that is, a powerful figure in the Shiba Central Group.
Takeda Nobutora was a little confused and looked at Takeda Shingen.
Takeda Shingen shook his head.
"Mother, don't look at me, I don't understand what our saint is thinking.
Because of my relationship, Reina is politically incompetent and cannot be the master of the world, but the saint wants her to be trained in the center. I am also puzzled. "
Takeda Nobutora touched his chin and sighed.
"The saint has a thousand-mile vision, and I can't see through it, but I believe in his feelings for Reina. He will not harm Reina. We just obey."
Takeda Shingen glanced at his mother. She actually had some thoughts in her heart, but it was not convenient for her to say them out.
Because Takeda Yoshinobu was the seed that Takeda Shingen forcibly obtained from Shiba Yoshigan, Takeda Yoshinobu is destined to bear the original sin and cannot be the supreme ruler of Shiba's world.
However, Yoshihiro Saba insists on letting Takeda Yoshinobu, who has no inheritance rights, enter the center, and may even control the Doshinzu and the Doshin Secretariat in the future. This political move is intriguing.
Takeda Shingen and Shiba Yoshigan had a tacit understanding and cooperation, and she had vaguely guessed something about it.
Shiba Yiyin did not want General Shiba's family to dominate in the future, because a single family would mean that a certain family of divine descendants might strangle all their competitors to death in order to ensure the inheritance rights of their own line.
It is inevitable for brothers to kill each other and sisters to fight each other.
As for Sibo Yiyin, a soft-tempered man with flesh on his palms and backs, how could he let his descendants attack each other and bleed like rivers.
Therefore, the first priority of the Sibo regime in the heart of Sibo Yiyin must be to maintain the unity of the God descendants group, and he will most likely choose to decentralize power.
For Takeda Shingen, this is especially important. As great as it was for her to force Spo Yiyin in Yantian City back then, the original sin that future generations will bear is so profound.
If Shiba Tenka is governed by the Lord of the World, then Takeda's line of descendants may be prioritized to death at any time due to their sinful origins.
Takeda Yoshinobu, a filthy heir with no inheritance rights, entered the center, which meant that Yoshinobu Shiba had begun to consider the future layout of the divine family.
In order to protect Takeda Yoshinobu, Yoshinobu Shiba will inevitably give certain powers to ensure that Takeda Yoshinobu has enough political value to avoid disaster.
Takeda Shingen was of course happy to hear about this and actively cooperated with it, but there was no need to tell his mother about these things.
It's best if Takeda Nobutora can understand it himself. It doesn't matter if he can't understand it. This is the political tacit understanding between Shiba Yoshigan and Takeda Shingen. One less person knows, and there is more security.
