Chapter 1290(1/2)
Sanada Nobunshi laughed, but as she looked at her grandmother's increasingly kind eyes, she gradually felt something strange, and her laughter stopped abruptly.
Yukitaka Sanada raised the corners of his lips and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Sanada Nobushige said solemnly.
"The tension between Dongshin and Nishi Ueno can really help me solve the problem and allow me to occupy Minawa Castle naturally.
But...what about the Sanada family?"
Sanada Nobushige suddenly thought that the Sanada family was the leader of the Higashi believers under the Takeda family. With the power of Anji Anzan alone, without the cooperation of the Sanada family, there was no way he could instigate the confrontation between the two places.
Yukitaka Sanada reached out and touched Nobushige Sanada's hair and said.
"Xinfan, you have grown up.
This is the last time that I will help you, and it will also be the last time that the Sanada family will help you. From now on, you will have to walk your own path."
Sanada Nobushige said subconsciously.
"Grandma..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted sharply by Yukitaka Sanada.
"Sanada Nobushige! I have already kicked you out of the Sanada family, and you still dare to come back and cause trouble!
After my death, the governor of the Sanada family will be your mother Masayuki Sanada, and the heir to the Sanada family can only be your eldest sister Yukiyuki Sanada!
You who betrayed your family, just give up on your dream of usurping the family property! If you are not welcome in the Sanada family, get out of here!"
Sanada Nobushige stared blankly at his grandmother's face.
Grandma's face was stern, but her eyes were smiling with joy. It seemed as if she was saying, go ahead and achieve your career.
Sanada Nobunaga's vision gradually blurred, she could no longer control her emotions, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down her face.
She looked up to the sky and screamed, knelt down to her grandmother, and bowed deeply to the ground. Then she stood up again and smiled.
"You blind old woman, I am obviously better, but you want to pass on the family fortune to your useless eldest granddaughter.
Just watch it, watch it carefully underground! I will build a huge family business, and the Shiye clan will achieve unprecedented glory and prosperity, and I will definitely make you regret it!"
Yukitaka Sanada laughed, pointed to the porch leading outside the court, and said.
"Young girl with a dirty mouth, you don't know how high the sky is, so get out of here!"
The two looked at each other for the last time and laughed together.
Sanada Nobushige bowed deeply in the direction of his mother, Sanada Masayuki, then left without any intention of remembering her.
After she left, Masayuki Sanada walked to Yukitaka Sanada and said softly.
"Mother."
Sanada Yukitaka looked at the pond in the garden, was silent for a while, and said.
"I'm sorry, Changxing, it was me who broke off your mother-daughter relationship. Nobuhiro will never come back.
But there is nothing I can do about it. Takeda Shingen is extraordinary in martial arts, but the Takeda family is inherently deficient.
The Kingdom of Kai is too barren, and the Takeda family has become more and more prosperous in recent years, all thanks to Takeda Shingen's strategy, and using small things to make things big. But you can take a chance once or twice, but you can't always fight in life.
After taking over the Three Kingdoms of Kai, Shinano, and Suruga, the power of the Kai clan has been used to its limit by Takeda Shingen. The Kai clan thinks highly of themselves and looks down upon us, the Shinano clan.
Even if Takeda Shingen is incredibly talented, the Takeda family's fortune has almost reached its limit."
Sanada Masayuki was silent for a moment and then asked.
"What do you mean, mother, to let me find another way out?"
Sanada Yukitaka shook his head and said.
"Takeda Shingen is still alive, don't act rashly, she will destroy the Sanada family.
Nobutano's opportunities are beyond my imagination. She has already walked her own path, and the Sanada family should not hold her back.
As for you and Yukiyuki...if one day the Takeda family's fortunes decline, you can seize the opportunity again."
Sanada Masayuki nodded.
"My daughter understands."
Yukitaka Sanada looked back at her and said ashamed.
"I'm really sorry for leaving you with such a mess."
Sanada Masayuki smiled.
"What are you saying, mother? You have done your best by fighting for the Sanada family all your life.
After that, please leave it to me with peace of mind. I will be a good person, and I will never hang myself on the tree of the Takeda family."
Yukitaka Sanada laughed and couldn't help shaking his head at his daughter's self-deprecating remarks.
"The people I feel most ashamed of are Xingzhi and Nobuhiro, they are both so outstanding.
If there was a mediocre person among them, I would not hesitate to entrust the family business to another person. Unfortunately... they are all too good.
Masayuki, you have two good daughters. This is your blessing and the blessing of the Sanada family. I made my decision without consulting you this time. I hope you don't blame me.
The conflict between Toshin and Nishi Ueno was not only to help Nobushige secure Minawa Castle, but also to help Sachi stabilize his mood.
Fortunately, she is a wealthy woman with good self-cultivation. But when she was helping me dress just now, her hands were shaking, and she didn't even notice it.
Be good to Xingzhi, this child is not easy either, her sister is too good and puts too much pressure on her.
As for Nobushige, let her go out and make a living. In future generations, the Sanada family may be remembered in history because of this wild monkey."
Sanada Masayuki shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Can she also leave a name in history? You really think highly of this little monkey."
But after waiting for a long time, she didn't even get an answer from Yukitaka Sanada.
Sanada Masayuki slowly walked to his mother and found that she had no breath. Her eyes were looking into the distance, as if she had seen the future. Her expression was relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
The summer cicadas on the tree were still chirping continuously. Under the scorching sun, Sanada Masayuki covered his face with his hands and knelt down in front of his mother who was still standing firmly.
This summer, after a wasted life, the old man of the Sanada family was finally resurrected, and he left this troubled world with peace of mind.
She had a good daughter and two good granddaughters, and she died peacefully.
The future of the Sanada family will definitely be better.
———
Sanada Nobushige received his grandmother's dying advice and hurried back to Nishi Ueno to build momentum before Yoshihiro Shiba returned.
The Uesugi family and the Hojo family reached an Echigo alliance, and Uesugi Teruhora cut off the cheap supplies of Zenkojiping that had been opened at the time of the Kawanakajima peace talks, and ended the free salt in Echigo.
The relationship between the Takeda family and the Uesugi family became tense again.
At this time, in addition to the Hokushin Land where the bloody battle took place, the border between the two sides also included Ueno Country, which was occupied by Echigo's army from the south.
A scandal suddenly broke out between Toshin and Nishi Ueno that the two Sanadas were in conflict.
After Yukitaka Sanada passed away, Nobushige Sanada returned to Toshin and started a succession dispute. The two families turned against each other.
In the view of the Hime warriors, it is normal for the samurai family to have feuds between sisters, but it happened at this time, which increased the friction between the Uesugi and Takeda families.
Anji Anzan of Yantian City was instigated by someone unknown, and expressed his support for Yukiyuki Sanada, which further intensified the conflict. Not to be outdone, Nobushige Sanada retorted, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out.
At this time, Yoshihiro had already bypassed the Noto Peninsula and arrived at Etsu, Echigo Province.
This time the situation was urgent, and his ship did not have a commercial cabin, and the cabin was filled with food and water. Therefore, there was no need to stop at Nanao Port on the Noto Peninsula for supplies, and he went directly to Naoetsu to disembark.
The current situation on the Noto Peninsula is very stable, so there is no need for Yoshino Bank to worry about it.
When he went to Vietnam and China to force all parties to sit down and negotiate, he never thought that this temporary compromise agreement would be so long-lasting and effective.
After Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna returned to China, he kept in mind the difficulty of reviving his family business and became more careful in doing things.
Nanao Port is an important node on the Houriku Road trade route. Yoshibank has invested a lot of effort here and occupies a large share of the trade route.
The original agreement was that as long as the parties did not fight, the goods landed at Nanao Port would be distributed at a discount, and everyone would have a share.
The situation in Hokurikudo that had been chaotic for many years since the rise of Ichikui has been eased due to this distribution agreement.
After years of war, people's livelihood has declined, and the military family and nuns have not had a good life. The war finally stopped, but no one is willing to destroy this rare peaceful life anymore.
Except for the Daishoji River area on the border between Echizen Country and Kaga Country, which were still experiencing low-intensity and small-scale fighting, Hokurikudo ushered in the most peaceful period in a century.
Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna is weak, but she is the master of Nanao Port certified by Shiba Yoshigan.
The Noto country, the Onei family, the Noto Yusa family, and the Naga family are the three pillars.
When Noto went abroad, the Kaga Ichigo sect, the Etsuchu Ichigo sect, and the Jinbo family were also three pillars.
As we all know, the triangle is the most stable form.
Although Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna was a weak family governor, the constraints of all parties allowed her to secure Nanao Port. All three parties within and outside all acquiesced in her distribution rights.
Everyone lined up to share the fruits, and encountered a great opportunity when the Tokaido trade route was cut off, ushering in the bonus period of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
