    Takeda Shingen was in a bad mood, and he would often get angry at his younger brother because the tea was too hot and the food was unpalatable. This was completely different from the humorous Tiger of Kai before. Mrs. Sanjo had a cold war with Takeda Shingen because of the capture of her legitimate son.  Songyuan cried and cried all day long, not to mention how upset she was.  Nagasaka Diao Xianzhai said with worry: "My lord! The citizens of Antan County surrendered collectively. Tahara Castle, Hikari Castle, and Sogayahara Castle have been conquered. Isuka Castle and Hiraseyama Castle are on the verge of collapse. All the citizens of Chikuma County are shaken. If it continues to deteriorate like this  The Fukashi Castle guarded by the Mino Warden at the racecourse may be in danger at any time. Once the Fukashi Castle is breached, Shinano will be unable to defend it, and Suwa County will be directly exposed to the front of the Kira Army. It is difficult to say who the town government is.  Whether he will go out again, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. "It doesn't matter that most of the territory in Azuma County is in the mountains, but the meaning of Chikuma County is completely different. The two best parts of Shinano are concentrated there.  One of the plains, apart from the Kawanaka Island in Northern Shinano and the Chikuma River Basin where Kozumi County is located, the Saikawa River Basin where Chikuma County and Suwa County are located is the most fertile.  Chikuma County was originally Shinano's territory to protect the Ogasawara clan. The Fuchu administrative office was located in Chikuma County Neirin Castle. This county has always been the wealthiest area in Shinano. It was precisely because of this county that the Ogasawara clan was able to remain in power after the Battle of Oita.  Shinano gained a foothold and gradually developed, while the Murakami clan, the other party in the Otoba battle, also relied on the fertile land of the Chikuma River basin to rise.  The above are the members who participated in the carve-up of Saku County led by Takeda Nobutora. The last member was the Suwa clan of Suwa County. Originally the priest of Suwa Shrine, he gradually grew into the overlord of the county, relying on the development near Lake Suwa.  agricultural support.  The reason why the Takeda family gets stronger the more they fight.  It also relied on the two meters provided by Shinano-Chikuma County and Suwa County as well as a steady stream of soldiers.  " Once the two counties are at fault, it will not be as simple as threatening Kai's homeland.  Losing two territories with huge strategic value and economic support, the Takeda family in the future will only be trapped in Kai and be like a tiger in a cage. If things go on like this, the cohesion of the retainers group will fall apart, and the glorious hegemony of the Takeda family will become empty in an instant.  The overall decline of the Takeda family is likely to regress to the crisis situation when Takeda Harunobu first came to the throne. This is not only a crisis for the Takeda family, but also a crisis for Takeda Shingen's life. Since a big defeat destroyed all the upward momentum of the Takeda family,  There are more and more complaints about Takeda Shingen's dissatisfaction at home, and the ninjas from Penetration send a lot of relevant information every day.  These are very dangerous signs, indicating that his status as the family governor is wavering, and the lower-level warriors no longer support him unconditionally as before.  "Lord! We should redeem the captured samurai as soon as possible! There is a lot of quarrel among samurai families these days, and the samurai at home do not want to offend their colleagues' relatives. It is really difficult to suppress them!" Atobe Nobuaki lamented with worry.  : "Everyone has a hard time, but the more difficult it is, they always make trouble. It's really a headache!" Takeda Shingen's brows trembled unnaturally, and he said in a heavy tone: "Order Mino to help our family at all costs.  To defend Chikuma County and Boqi to secure Ina County, you can ask Kisoden to help me, granting him no tax and power, and he must calm down the turbulent people in the county! Now is the time for our family to be in crisis!  Autumn is the time to employ people, and the samurai should use their gifts to provide good strategies. Once it is verified, the family will not hesitate to reward them. As for the redemption of samurai, they have to make some preparations. Without enough wealth, it is difficult to impress Echigo.  !¡± Everyone frowned when they heard the insincerity in Takeda Shingen¡¯s words. Kurihara Morutong couldn¡¯t help but jump out and said: ¡°Please, my lord, send an envoy to Echigo to discuss the redemption of the samurai!¡±  With Echigo's life and death uncertain, the family members and samurai at home can't feel at ease! I don't know if what I said is right, but I feel that the safety of the Nomiya Palace and the Young Palace is particularly important! " Kurihara Senfuyu said!  The voices of the samurai. Some people from Shinano glanced at Takeda Shingen suspiciously, as if they were wondering why the Tiger of Kai was trying to resist the redemption of the samurai. How could Takeda Shingen tolerate such questioning eyes and snorted angrily?  Said: "Don't you, my family, don't want to rescue your legitimate son and younger brother? But how can the general of the garrison be an easy person? What should we do if he asks for a large sum of compensation? How much money will Kaifei have after paying the ransom?  Resources? How can we expand without money and food? If we can't expand and stay in the Kai Mountains, are you willing?" A series of questions came to the Takeda retainers. After thinking about it, the believers couldn't help but feel that Kai is a large basin flowing from the basin.  The Fuefuki River and Kamabashi River have become the most deadly disasters. Floods occur almost every year due to storms and heavy rains. Today, Kai's total stone height is 220,000 koku. Due to frequent wars and natural disasters, the total population is only 16  Thousands of people.  Several generations of Takeda family ancestors have been actively pioneering and forging ahead, in order to lead the Kai samurai out of their remote mountain dens. Outside Kai, there are rich lands and beautiful mountains and rivers. This has been demonstrated countless times in the past ten years.It has been proven for the first time that it is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Everyone has enjoyed the beautiful life outside the mountains, and no one wants to continue to be a hard-working mountain warrior in Kai.  There is no time to stand up.  Life is very difficult, but the more hardships we encounter, the more we must strive to catch up. We must never lose. This feeling in our hearts is still in our hearts. The group of family members still support the words of the family governor. Atobe Nobuaki added: "My lord is worried every day.  It¡¯s all about leading the samurai out of trouble, no matter how difficult it is, they must get through it. Please forgive me for my lord¡¯s difficulties.¡± Just when he was about to get rid of this troublesome problem, Kurihara Quandong suddenly  He jumped out and begged at the top of his lungs: "Can we give up our relatives and friends like this? I can't make our relatives give up the hope of family reunion! My uncle Kurihara Izu Mamoru died in the battle at Hachimanhara.  More than a dozen members of the family have died, and five more are trapped in Echigo. Please, Lord, redeem our relatives and friends, and we are willing to bear the corresponding expenses." Imafuku J¨­kansai, one of the fourth elders of the Takeda family, said seriously!  : "Zaemon, watch your tone!" Yokota Jurobei Yasukage, the eldest son of the original Koyin, was a little unhappy. His father died in Hachimanhara for Takeda Shingen, but he didn't even get any compensation afterwards.  He retorted angrily: "Zaemon is right. We have done great service for our lord, but we left our relatives and friends on Kawanaka Island and fled in panic. This goes against the morality of the samurai family, and it goes against the principles of the lord! Our Takeda family has not always been  What¡¯s wrong with saying that favors are friends and hatred is the enemy? We have to defend our relatives and friends without any compensation. Why?¡± Yokota Yasukage¡¯s words changed the atmosphere of the scene.  Taste, it is true that he is the eldest son of Hara H¨­in. A few years ago, he ran away to the Hojo family because he questioned the injustice of the Takeda family. He was given the name Yokota and the next name of Hojo Ujiyasu. This is not the direct genealogy of the Takeda family.  On behalf of the public.  They were not afraid of offending anyone with their words. At worst, they could just pack up and run away to the Hojo family. Anyway, the territory they occupied under the Suihara clan happened to be secured by the Hojo family, and they would not worry about being left idle if they took refuge there.  Takeda Shoushiro didn't expect that a guy over thirty would be so impulsive. He immediately pulled out his sword with great enthusiasm and had the energy to cut you in half on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Shimosone Nobutsune quickly interrupted for his best friend.  : "What Jurobei said is wrong. Isn't our Takeda family in trouble right now? My lord has been thinking of ways to solve this problem. Maybe the compensation that should be paid will be paid out in the near future, don't you think so? Haha.  Haha" The Sone clan is a relative of the Takeda clan.  He is a descendant of the son of Takeda Nobushige, the fifth ancestor of Takeda Shingen. The family has a large branch that runs through the entire Kai.  Their family is rooted in two Miao characters, Sone and Shimotsone, which is different from the ordinary samurai family who only have one Miao character, but in fact they are still a family that has not changed.  Including Sone Masashi, Sone Torayoshi, Sone Toranaga, Sone Toromei, Shimosone Masari and many other relatives such as Bie and Emon, the powerful family group formed is also one of the best among the Takeda Ichimen.  A powerful family, but this family is usually relatively low-key and not so out-of-the-box, so they are often ignored by the group of family members, but once this family speaks out, they have to be careful.  Anayama Izu Shou nobumo had been watching the crisis of the Takeda family with a cold eye, and seemed to have accidentally glanced at the young Oyamada Nobushige, and then said with a smile: "Actually, the Imagawa Administrative Department sent someone to inquire about the situation of Reisongin, and when His Highness Taro will be able to  Redemption, Imagawa Jibu means that if Kai is in trouble, the sooner Taro comes back, the better. " "Imagawa Jibu actually said this? Izu Mamoru, this news is really so timely!"  The corners of Takeda Shingen's eyes twitched, and an undetectable fierce light flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he turned back to a very eager and grateful expression, and said with a smile: "Then please Izu, please hurry up and inform Imagawa Osamu, and you must help me no matter what."  Shingen has weathered the storm!" The young man sitting next to Nobuyuki Anayama is his son Nobukun Anayama. He is still a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He caught a glimpse of Takeda Shingen's insincere expression and secretly mocked: "Once upon a time, you  There are times when Takeda Daisen asks for help, but I wonder if Imagawa Osamu will not buy your account? "Every Takeda generation present here is a human spirit, and they immediately noticed the strong smell of gunpowder in the air. Nobumo Oyamada was still leisurely.  Sipping the tea soup leisurely, not caring about the strange looks cast by other samurai. It is said that the newly rising Maori family in the Western Kingdom has a Ryogawa system that has made great contributions to the Maori family, and the Kai Takeda family also has a Ry¨­yama system.  The Takeda Ryozan is not a pleasant system. It has brought almost all the evils of the Mouri Ryokan to itself. The Anayama clan and the Oyamada clan, one is guarding the west gate of Kai in Yizumi County, south of Kai, and the other is in the east of Kai.  Nantoryu County guards the east gate of Kai. Guarding the gate meansThis means that they are close to the Suruga Imagawa clan and the Sagami Hojo clan respectively. It is a happy thing to see guards guarding and stealing from others. These two families have been gradually corrupted from guards to senior leaders.  The Anayama family is still a branch of the Takeda family. During the internal strife of the Takeda family in the early Warring States Period, the head of the family at that time, Nobuxuan Anaya, took refuge with the lord of Suruga, the Imagawa clan, and served as a pioneer to bring the Imagawa family into Kai.  He was credited with every invasion of Kai. Later, Nobuxana Anayama was suddenly and inexplicably assassinated. Everyone said that Nobutora Takeda (then known as Nobuhiro Takeda) did it, but there was no evidence and nothing could be done against him.  It would be unjustifiable to say that the Anayayama family had enmity with the Takeda family because of this. The problem was that soon after the fourth year of the reign of the emperor (1531), the Anayayama trade wind died mysteriously and suddenly, which aggravated the Anayayama family's suspicion. The last time it was an assassination, this time it was a violent attack.  He died, and he died overnight without any illness or disaster. Only the Anayayama family did not hate the Takeda family.  Later, Aeshan Xingfeng¡¯s younger brother, Aeshan Xinyou, became the family governor.  He is much smoother than his tough brother.  Both his father and brother, who was as tough as him, died in mysterious circumstances.  How could he dare to stand up to the powerful Nobutora Takeda? As soon as he became the governor of the family, he took the initiative to get closer to Nobutora Takeda. He soon won the favor of the eldest tiger of the Takeda family, so he married Takeda Nobutora's daughter as his wife, and took this opportunity to strengthen his relationship with him.  Relations with the Takeda family.  ??Following the Hanakura Rebellion, the Takeda family raised an army to threaten the Imagawa family. Then Imagawa Yoshimoto married Takeda Nobutora's daughter as the royal wife, and the Takeda family and the Imagawa family became a son-in-law.  Anayayama Nobuto took this opportunity to become a close brother-in-law with Imagawa Yoshimoto. From then on, he no longer secretly interacted with the Imagawa family and could strengthen the relationship openly. Takeda Nobutora was also happy for his sons-in-law to communicate with each other.  Later, he couldn't be happy anymore. Takeda Nobutora stayed in Suruga forever, and then the Kabuta Shun Alliance was established. As the liaison officer between the Takeda family and the Imagawa family, Anayayama Nobutora brokered the marriage between Takeda Yoshinobu and Reimatsuin.  He was also the witness of the wedding of this young couple, and his pro-Imagawa color was simply outrageous.  In comparison.  The Oyamada family's pro-Hojo was even more outrageous. His family dared to be openly included in the "Odawara Public Service Account".  It was clearly marked among the people of his country, all he had to do was put a label on his forehead saying "I am a retainer of the Hojo family". You can imagine how embarrassing it would be for an Imagawa retainer sitting among a group of retainers.  It was unpleasant, even disgusting, but Takeda Shingen endured it for more than ten years.  Half a month later, Sekiguchi Chinaga, the envoy sent by Sunfu, came to Echigo Kasugayama Castle on behalf of the Takeda family. He saw familiar old friends again after not seeing each other for several years. Kira Yoshitsune was in a good mood. After a simple greeting, the topic turned to  Regarding the issue of ransom that was of greatest concern to both parties, Sekiguchi Chinaga sincerely expressed Takeda Shingen's regret for the capture of his parents and children, hoping that Kira Yoshitoki would forgive him and propose the redemption of all prisoners.  When the issue of money was mentioned, Kira Yoshi would smile and shut his mouth. Sekiguchi Chinaga also knew the rules of the samurai family, so he started fighting with the officials such as Hosokawa Fujitaka, Matsui Yukan, Honda Tokimasa, and Namioka Sofou.  In the war of words, the Kira family offered 10,000 taels of gold to redeem all the trapped soldiers. On average, one tael of gold per person was still a surplus. This was not a redemption, but it was clearly blackmail.  Sekiguchi Chinaga was really angry, so he argued with a group of executors, and then the two sides argued with each other in a dark and dark manner. It is said that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and a hero cannot stand in large numbers, even if the executors of the Kira family do not come to surround him.  During the attack, several people took turns playing wheel battles which were enough for him. In three days, Sekiguchi Qinyong gave in with a look of defeat like a defeated rooster.  Thinking of him as a noble warrior, he was like a woman shopping for groceries. He had been chattering about the ransom for three whole days. There were a few blisters at the corners of his mouth that have not gone away to this day. The two deep black circles showed that he had just three short days.  Tianli was tortured so much. The most important thing is that this matter has nothing to do with the Imagawa family. He, an envoy of the Imagawa family, took the lead on behalf of the Takeda family. The Takeda family's group of shackles did not even think of sending several groups of envoys to fight the outpost.  It's simply hateful to let him know where the bottom line is roughly!  After three days of arguing, the final price was 6,000 taels of gold. The Kira family made it clear that they did not want copper coins or rice grain conversions, let alone the so-called land cession. They wanted you by name, Kaishi gold, a specialty of Kai, and if you don't give gold, don't even think about it.  To get a person back, six thousand taels of gold is a huge amount. Even if the Takeda family is as wealthy as the Takeda family, they only have fifteen thousand taels of gold in their inventory. I don't know what Takeda Shingen's face would be like if six thousand taels were taken away in one breath.  One tael of gold is worth about five guanwen in today's currency. In the prefecture, it is worth about six to seven guanwen. In areas lacking gold such as Western Kingdom and Kyushu, the price will be higher. Six thousand taels of gold is at least 30,000 guan of Yongle money.  In the Kira family's opinion, this asking price is not too much.  The Kira family is supported by several mountains of gold and silver. The gold, silver and pure copper smelted in one year are worth four to five million guan.The commercial house is a money-making machine. If you ask for 30,000 kusen, it is only worth one-twentieth of your annual income. If you work hard to go to Shinano to fight with your Takeda family, the reward alone is 50,000 yuan.  Guan, not to mention the total reward for Sanban Gongfa in terms of merit is another 30,000 guan. It is not too much to ask the Takeda family to reimburse 6,000 taels of gold.  But the Takeda family couldn't stand it anymore. They didn't have much money and food, but a little gold was quite valuable. This time, they had to spend a lot of money to redeem people.  The deal was completed at Shinshu Pass, and six thousand captives were returned to Kai.  And the Kira family got the six thousand taels of gold they needed.  Even the Takeda family didn't dare to make a fuss about gold.  Because of the intervention of the Imagawa family.  Forcing Takeda Shingen, who was unwilling to bow his head, to redeem the defeated prisoners was tantamount to admitting the fact of his overall failure. For the famous samurai family who valued face more than anything else during the Muromachi era, this was a loss both in battle and in people, but  What can he do if he doesn't admit defeat?  The Takeda family only has 6,000 troops to mobilize, of which 3,000 are guarding Kai and the other 3,000 are guarding Fukashi Castle. If the Kira family is determined to hold captives, the most they can do is scold them for violating the moral principles of the samurai family.  There is definitely no further idea. Let alone sending troops to fight back to Saku County, even assisting in the defense of Fukashi Castle is a problem.  These six thousand captives returned to Kai with three parts humiliation, two parts resentment and five parts happiness. What greeted them would be Kai's broken mess. For the samurai who had experienced the impact of new things that lasted for half a year in winter and spring, Kai was just like Kai.  Like a country that has lagged behind the times for decades, there are no clean and tidy streets, no uniform houses, and no unheard-of food and clothes.  Advanced tools and endless fields.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Soon the restless samurai made requests of one kind or another. Some people loudly called for the construction of beautiful Kai. Some people brazenly said that Kai could not defeat Echigo because of poor construction. Some people even said that they should revitalize commerce and introduce Echigo's advanced technology, etc.  The remarks were endless, and it was at this moment that Takeda Harunobu realized how much pain his decision to recall his captives had caused him.  Contacting the samurai who were dissatisfied with Takeda Shingen earlier, under the instigation of thoughtful people, a force that cannot be underestimated emerged in Kai. They advocated struggle for self-reliance and unity internally, and actively contacted allies externally to strive to build a new Kai within five years. This force became  From among the prisoners sent back from Echigo, there may be another person hidden behind them. ?¡­ ?In Kasuga Imperial Palace, Kira Yoshiki accompanied Torahime for a walk in the garden.  Hu Ji's body shape has not changed much, except that her unruly willow waist has become slightly plumper. He carefully supported her and walked slowly to the pavilion. The little maids quickly covered the stone bench with cushions. Hu Ji was curious by the little maids.  Her eyes looked a little shy, and she whispered: "Your Highness, what are you doing? Hu Ji is only three months pregnant, and the baby in her belly has not yet grown. She is holding a hand and a cushion, so I am asking you to get out of here."  I'm so embarrassed." Kira Yoshishi sat down next to Torahime and said with a smile: "Torahime is a unique treasure and a great contributor to the Ashikaga family. The child in Torahime's belly will be a great one in the future.  A great warrior, you should be more careful. " "Then tell me, is the child in Hu Ji's belly a boy? Or a girl? " " As long as it is a boy or a girl.  "Yu likes both boys and girls. If it's a boy, let us father and son protect Hu Ji. If it's a girl, let Yu protect you mother and daughter." Kiragi's gentle words really made Hu Ji smile and feel at ease.  In his arms.  Women are always sentimental. Pregnant women are more sensitive and will have emotions of impatience, suspicion and anger. Kira Yoshi has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running away. With Xiao Yi accompanying him, he finally got through the most difficult stage.  The two of them were chatting and somehow got around to the topic of releasing the six thousand prisoners of the Takeda family. Torahime asked curiously: "I don't quite understand why Your Highness wants to release them? After all the hard work of winning the war, he failed."  Put them all back, isn't this what His Highness often said, letting the tiger go back to the mountain?" Ji Liangyi gently held her waist and said softly: "This is different, Yu Heshua took action personally in the battle of Kawanakajima?  In order to kill him, it was a pity that he missed the move by one move. As long as Takeda Shingen does not die, the Takeda family will always be a major scourge in my mind. If I want to pacify Takeda, I will probably have to lead the army to fight another brutal battle.  Fight, don¡¯t look at the fact that the Takeda family only has 6,000 troops. As soon as the rest of the army reaches Kai, there will be no doubt that it will become an army of 20, 30,000 and 30,000 people blocking the clear fields of Kai. By then, it will be impossible to fight, and it will be a stalemate even if we don¡¯t fight.  "Hu Ji suddenly realized: "What your Highness means is that Your Highness talks about the Three Kingdoms.?, that useless sentence that Duke Cao once said!  " "That's about it. Kai with Takeda Shingen is just a piece of chicken ribs. It's tasteless and it's a pity to throw it away. If he is left alone for a few years, he will become a serious problem for Yu. Moreover, there are only some voices of dissatisfaction among the people of Kai country. Once Yu personally leads  When the army reaches Kai's doorstep, these people will definitely unite to resist Yu. This is the stalemate mentioned above. On a deeper level, the Hojo and Imagawa families behind them will exert influence!  One thing to be clear is that Yu's fight with the Takeda family in Shinano will not affect Suruga and Sagami, but once Yu's army captures Kai, it will directly threaten the security of the two families' hinterland. I will not go to the Ashikaga family.  Having signed an alliance with these two families, there is no obligation to guard their backs. With the wisdom of the Imagawa Administrative Department and Hojo Sagami, they will definitely provide large-scale support with money, food, supplies, and even soldiers. They would rather see Yu drag this mountain nest in Kai.  Even if I beat him to pieces, I won't let him succeed even if he fights me with anger and resentment!  Even if I were determined to cease the war by then, I would still lose room for maneuver because the Imagawa and Hojo families were at odds with my Kamizuki Ashikaga family. Therefore, although the Kai area is profitable, it is not a place for the wise. The reason lies in this aspect.  On top of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, if this alliance is not broken, we can't harvest Kaifei with peace of mind!  " When Kiragi arrived, he was not afraid of the Takeda family. He could defeat the Takeda army that was twice his own with a patchwork force of more than 14,000 troops. He was even less afraid of the 20,000 to 30,000 poorly trained peasant soldiers in Kaishan's nest.  Even if they hold on to the fortified city, he has the confidence to slowly pry open the strong carapace little by little. And Kaibi has a total population of 160,000. If you remove the women, you will lose nearly half of the population. If you remove the old, weak, sick, and children, there will be no more.  If you remove more than half of them, you only have 20,000 to 30,000 strong laborers. How long can these people be armed for three months or half a year? Do you have to harvest the crops during the autumn harvest?  Collectively drink the northwest wind. To take a step back, the mental shock suffered by the defeated soldiers of the Takeda family cannot be recovered in two or three years, unless the divine luck makes the Takeda family lucky enough to win several battles to bring back their morale.  , otherwise if they encounter the Kira Legion in the short term, they may not be able to exert even 50% of their strength. The Kira family is not afraid of the Takeda family, nor is it afraid of the Takeda family's two allies. Even if it is really caught in that kind of attrition war, he is confident of winning the final victory.  , but that would be too troublesome and time-consuming. It is already the first year of Yonglu. If there is no sense of urgency for time, the world will be dragged back to the devil's rhythm. The Imagawa family will be dragged into Kai's mud pit, leaving everyone  The Demon King captured Mino easily, and when the time comes, he will be eating the meat and drinking the soup as wedding clothes. Still puzzled, Torahime asked: "But isn't Imagawa Harube an ally of His Highness?  Sister Naotora is the adopted daughter of Imagawa Harube!  Moreover, the Imagawa family and our Ashikaga clan are very close relatives. Imagawa Harubu will definitely not go to war with Echigo because of the attack on Kai, right?  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
