The Ise territory is actually not very large.
However, in this small territory, there are a large number of wealthy people.
The territory is only so big, but there are so many wealthy families, so the relationship between the wealthy families is naturally tense in order to compete for the limited territory.
The territories of the Umeto family and the Senge family are located in the northwest of Ise country. In addition to the Umeto family and the Senge family, there are two powerful wealthy families here, one is the Tanemura family and the other is the Katayama clan.
The former took charge of Jinjing Castle in Bian County, and served as the commander of Zane Village, Shozaemon Wei.
The latter took over Yuan Benjun's Shangmucheng and became the chief accountant of Katashan.
The strength of the two families is not as good as that of the Chigusa family and the Umeto family, and they are often suppressed by the two families.
For this reason, the two families are in-laws to each other and rely on their alliance to survive in the cracks between the Chigusa family and the Umeto family.
Yuanben County is only so big, so any disturbances cannot be hidden from the Tanemura family and the Katayama family.
Therefore, not long after the fight between the Chigusa family and the Umeto family started, the heads of the two families received the news.
"Chief, what do you think about the war between the Umeto family and the Chigusa family?"
Tanemura Goldman asked while holding his chin in the Jinjing City where the Tanemura family was based.
Katayama Nobuho said eagerly, "Father-in-law, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Our two families have been suppressed by the Chigusa family and the Umeto family for a long time. Forty years ago, Jida Ginzan was originally discovered by my father-in-law's grandfather, but it was taken away by the Chigusa family."
"This time the Umeto family and the Chigusa family are fighting, we can take this opportunity to reap the benefits! By then, not only can we recapture the Silver Mountain, but we may also be able to capture the Tatabengun County in one fell swoop!"
Katayama Nobuho spoke with great force, as if Yuanben County was already within their grasp.
Obviously, Katayama Nobuho’s words moved Tanemura Goldman Sachs.
As Nobuho Katayama just said, the Zhida Silver Mine was discovered earlier by Tanemura Goldman’s grandfather Satsuma Mamoru Tanemura, and it was also the Tanemura family who took the lead in mining.
But the next year, the Zhitian Silver Mine attracted the covetousness of the surrounding people.
As the general of the Northern Forces, the Senge family gathered a large number of people to snatch the Zhitian Silver Mine from the Tanemura family, which became an eternal pain in the hearts of the Tanemura family.
Because of the robbery of the silver mountain, Satsuma Tanemura was so angry that he died the next year. Tanemura's father, Goldman Sachs, had always wanted to recapture Ginzan after he succeeded to the throne. However, due to the fact that the Tanemura family was almost wiped out during the battle for Ginmura, their strength was greatly reduced, and there was no chance.
Forty years have passed. Today, Tanemura Goldman Sachs suddenly found that there was a great opportunity to take back Silver Mountain right in front of him. How could he not be tempted?
Regardless of revenge and hatred, the white money from the Zhitian Silver Mine was enough for Goldman Tanemura to make up his mind.
"Chief, please return to your territory immediately to mobilize your troops. We will send out troops in three days!"
"This time, we must avenge our shame!"
"ha!"
After Katayama Nobuho left, Tanemura Goldman was still sitting in the hall, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The retainers on the side couldn't help but asked in confusion when they saw Tanemura Goldman's appearance: "What is my lord thinking?"
"I am wondering whether Chief Katayama is really of the same mind as our family?"
The retainer was stunned for a moment and continued, "My lord, what you mean is that the Katayama family has different intentions?"
"That's impossible to say!"
"Last month, the maid of Azuki (Tanemura Komori) sent a letter saying that Katayama Nobuho has been in close contact with the Akabori family recently. Five days ago, the Akabori family even sent the lord of Tomita Castle, Yutsu Yuin, as envoy to Kamigi Castle."
"My lord, are you worried that Chief Katayama has turned to the Akabori family?"
"However, Chief Katayama is the lord's son-in-law. Over the years, the Katayama family and my family have maintained an alliance against the Senge family and Umeto family. His actions will not do any good to the Katayama family at all!" The retainer was very dissatisfied. Xie said.
Hearing what the retainer said, Tanemura Goldman shook his head helplessly, "Huh! The so-called covenant is just a piece of paper."
"In the past, the Katayama family had to fight against the Umeto family, so they had to form an alliance with the main family."
"And in order to fight against the Chigusa family, our family must have an ally. Both sides just get what they need."
"The Akabori family has developed rapidly in recent years and has annexed many wealthy families nearby. Its strength is at its peak! If you find a better backer, what will you do?" Goldman Tanemura looked at the retainer and said.
Hearing this, the retainer seemed a little silent.
In the troubled times of the Warring States Period, no one would be unfamiliar with these things: subjugation by subordinates, patricide by sons, conspiracies and betrayals.
"Then why did my lord agree with Chief Katayama to send troops together?"
"My clan has endured it for so many years, and now it's time to show the world our fangs! This is not only to avenge shame, but also to establish prestige!"
"Only the strong can survive in such troubled times, while the weak can only become someone else's meal!"
...
A battle that took place in a corner of Kitai Ise suddenly attracted the attention of many people.
For a time, the entire North Ise was turbulent, and various characters began to become active.
Kyogoku Takamasa, who is at the center of this storm, has no idea about this.
Looking at the pile of silver coins on the ground, Kyogoku Takamasa smiled shamefully.
"Lord, after taking inventory, this batch of silver coins totals 1,123 coins, with a total value of nearly 4,000 coins!" Beside Kyogoku Takamasa, Kuchiki Takatsuna, Mitsui Toradaka and others also looked at the silver coins on the ground with excitement, their faces There was a happy expression on his face, as if he had received a huge red envelope during the New Year.
Kyogoku Takamasa secretly calculated that during this trip to Ise, he had already stolen thousands of items.
In other words, I finally have the money to implement my plan!
Just when Kyogoku Takamasa was having wild thoughts, Yamaoka Inuhachiro suddenly appeared in front of Kyogoku Takamasa, "My lord, the battle between the Umeto family and the Chigusa family seems to have also affected the Tanemura family and the Katayama family in Ebenben County. Joined in.”
"The ninjas under the villain found that both families were urgently mobilizing their troops, and the wealthy families in the area near Yuanben County also seemed to be mobilizing their troops. It seems that the North Ise is going to be completely in chaos!"
Kyogoku Takamasa was a little surprised when he heard Yamaoka Inuhachiro's words.
I didn’t expect that I would make big news just by doing it casually!
"Lord, since the North Ise is about to be in chaos, our actions will inevitably become extremely difficult! In addition, this trip has been fruitful, and we can return to Omi!" Tsutsui Shunren suggested from the side.
Endo Kyouyo also nodded in agreement: "Many of the hired personnel have already asked to leave. I am worried that if this continues, the morale of the military will be shaken. Once these people become unstable, we will not end up in a bad way!"
"Besides, there are so many small silver dealers, it's better to move back to Omi as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!"
The people hired by the Kyogoku family are basically ronin and wild samurai. In other words, they are not good birds.
Kyogoku Takamasa has robbed so many small bankers this time. If the money and silk attract people's attention and arouse the covetousness of these people, and then gather together to start a rebellion, Kyogoku Takamasa and others will not end well!
"My family has already considered this matter! I have decided..."
