To be honest, Takeda Harunobu is also annoyed by Shinanozu’s little actions.
But she couldn't let the Kai clan oppress the Shinano clan too much, as this would ruin her plan to win over the Shinano clan.
Among the three clans, including the Kiso family of Minami Shinobu, the Suwa family of Chushin, and the Shino family of Toshin, except the Umino family, these local forces continued to move closer to the Takeda family under the comfort of Takeda Harunobu.
As time goes by, they will gradually integrate into the interest group headed by Takeda Harunobu.
Takeda Harunobu promoted the Sanada family this time in order to let her family replace the Umino family who would never look back, appease the power of the Umino family in Toshin, and further consolidate the rule of the Takeda family in Toshin.
So, she must go back.
On the one hand, he asked the Shinon people whether they were loyal to their master, and on the other hand, he warned the Kai people not to take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Sighing, she repeated it again.
"Fortunately, with you here, Nobushige, the Takeda family will not be turned upside down by them."
Takeda Nobunaga smiled reservedly.
"Sister Miuzan, I just did my duty."
Takeda Harunobu sneered.
"In this world, there are only a few people who are willing to do their duty, but they are all greedy bastards."
Takeda Harunobu is really lucky to have such a good sister who helps each other.
At first, his mother, Nobutora Takeda, moved closer to the young master, Harunobu Takeda, because of the retainers, and she was determined to support Nobutora Takeda to replace him.
It was Takeda Nobushige who stood firmly on his sister's side and worked together with Takeda Harunobu, who had the support of the retainers, to expel Takeda Nobutora.
It was also Takeda Nobushige who supported Takeda Harunobu on behalf of the clan, which allowed all parties in Kai to follow Takeda Harunobu for a living and ensured the stability of the domestic situation.
Now that the Kai clan and the Shinano clan are causing trouble, Takeda Nobushige is still guarding the front line in Hokushin, so that Takeda Harunobu can calmly take over and clean up the mess.
Without the existence of Takeda Nobushige, the Takeda family would never be so peaceful, and Takeda Harunobu's power would be more restricted.
She talked to her sister about some things again, and the two of them filled in the gaps. Takeda Nobushige hesitated and said.
"Sister, this time we sent troops, the Anayama family and the Oyamada family still did not send troops to contribute in the end. You should give me a warning."
Before the Takeda family sent troops, because of the perfunctory attitude of the two families, Takeda Nobushige had already complained to Takeda Harunobu, and was finally reconciled.
Now that I mention it again, it also reminds my sister to be alert to the emotional changes within the Kaifei clan.
There are two clans in the Takeda family, the Shinano clan is composed of the three samurai clans of Nanshin, Chushin and Higashishin.
As for the basic structure of the Takeda family, although the Kai clan is powerful in combat, it is also very complicated internally.
The Kai clan is mainly divided into four factions.
One is the clan headed by Takeda Nobushige, who is the cornerstone of the family and the backbone of the army.
The second is the banner group formed by Takeda Harunobu, with Kosaka Masanobu, Baba Nobuharu and other direct ministers as the core, all of whom are confidants hand-picked by the family governor.
These two forces are loyal to Takeda Harunobu and rely on her to exercise power.
The third is that Takeda has a long history, such as Amari Hutai, Itagaki Nobukata and other samurai families. They are powerful retainers who have been in official positions since Takeda Nobutora's era.
Takeda Harunobu was particularly interested in Yamagata Masakei, who was in charge of internal affairs and logistics, and Iito Tomasa, who commanded Takeda Akabi, also belonged to the clan.
They are the main body of the Takeda retainers group. They were the ones who initially expelled Takeda Nobutora, and they were also the ones who supported Takeda Harunobu's rise to power.
Takeda Harunobu both used and guarded against them, fearing that he would follow in his mother's footsteps and be expelled by the public.
The fourth is the semi-independent forces such as the Anayama family and the Oyamada family.
The Anayama family and the Takeda family are related by blood. The Oyamada family has a common background in the country, and they are both old martial arts families that dominate the country.
During the Takeda Nobutora era, they subdued the Takeda family, but they still maintained a strong independence, which was scary.
The Takeda Iehime Samurai Order is of high quality, but also has many internal conflicts, similar to the dispute between the upper, middle and lower Mitsukoshi of Echigo.
Takeda Harunobu was able to suppress the situation and mobilize Kai's national power to march northward to conquer Shinano Kingdom because her political methods were much stronger than Uesugi Terutora's.
Takeda Nobushige reminded her twice to pay attention to the perfunctory behavior of the Anayama family and the Oyamada family, but Takeda Harunobu was unwilling to cause trouble and was determined to tolerate them.
"I know it well. Xinfan, you are in charge of Beixin. There is no need to worry about it. I will make my own arrangements when I get back."
Takeda Nobushige shook his head secretly. His sister still didn't care, and she had no choice. She had no choice but to accept the order with peace of mind, guard the Beishin Gate, and prepare for the next battle of Kawanakajima.
The next day, Takeda Harunobu turned his troops back south, and the war at Hokushin subsided.
———
Takeda Harunobu's army turned back, and the Uesugi-Murakami coalition forces who were paying close attention to the changes south of Kawanaka Island at Zenkoji Temple breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the coalition forces won a small victory, their strength was only 5,000, which was more than half less than Takeda's strength, and their quality was also uneven.
If Takeda Harunobu insists on going north to fight another battle on Kawanakajima, Uesugi Teruhora may not be able to get any benefits.
Fortunately, the Takeda family governor was very cautious and did not want to fight an uncertain battle. This gave Murakami Yoshikiyo a chance to breathe.
The military campaigns usually take place during the slack seasons of spring and autumn. The former does not delay spring plowing, and the latter does not affect autumn harvest.
At the beginning, the Miyoshi family rarely chose to go to war after the summer harvest, and they also stored supplies for several years. Miyoshi Changqing tried to use sufficient logistics to overwhelm the shogunate coalition forces, and almost succeeded.
If it hadn't been for the sudden rise of Shiba Yoshigan, who opened up a new situation in Beida and the country. The ministers who were eager to go home for the autumn harvest would probably have sold Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Lord Kokata.
No matter how noble the Ashikaga shogun is, he is not as important as the rice waiting to be harvested at home.
Therefore, in general, the Wu family would choose to plow and sow in the spring and put the autumn grain into the warehouse before going out to kill people in peace and contentment.
The Takeda family has conquered Shinano for many years, and the harvest has been great and the effort has been great. The family's military reserves must be tight.
Now the Beixin strategy has been abandoned halfway. Next time we come back, we will definitely wait until the new grain is in place after the autumn harvest before mobilizing again.
In this way, the remnant army of Murakami Yoshikiyo was saved, and Terutora Uesugi also had time to integrate the Echigo samurai family with Yoshigan Shiba.
Wait until after the autumn harvest, and then compete with the Takeda family on Kawanakajima.
Zenkoji Temple, Uesugi Teruho Honjin Shogunate.
Terutora Uesugi comforted the respectful Murakami Yoshikiyo and Ogasawara Nagatoki.
"His Royal Highness Murakami, His Highness Ogasawara, and Takeda Harunobu have withdrawn their troops, and the war in Beishin has temporarily subsided.
Please be patient and prepare your troops here to guard the key passages.
After the autumn harvest, my Echigo army will go south to seek justice for the two of them from Takeda Harunobu and punish this villain who started a war without permission and usurped her territory.
Before the autumn harvest, I would like to ask you two to do your best to maintain the situation and be wary of the Takeda garrison in the south."
The two bowed and accepted the order, expressing their gratitude and tears.
They had no choice but to lose their territory and relied entirely on Terutora Uesugi to provide military supplies and logistics.
At this time, the Murakami family has become the leading party of Echigo, and they can only place their hope in Uesugi Teruhu to restore their old rule.
However, Uesugi Teruhu was very satisfied. She had done her best by urgently sending troops to achieve the current strategic balance.
After the two of them bowed and left, Uesugi Teruhu picked up the letter on the slippage and smiled without saying a word.
This is a message from Yiyin Shiba, hoping that she will allocate a residence for him to live in Joetsu.
Is Shiba Yiyin doing this in the hope that the two of them will get along day and night? Is it true that the man is affectionate and the concubine is interested?
Terutora Uesugi couldn't help but giggle, which made Hatamoto, who was sitting and waiting, feel uncomfortable. He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only turn a blind eye.
After the tea ceremony, Terutora Uesugi gave the order.
"I ordered Kasugayama Castle Castle Chief, Honjo Minoru, to clean and decorate the Uesugi Hall under the castle, and to welcome Shiba Kennobu to move in.
In addition, if the Takeda family withdraws its troops, I will lead the troops back and let her arrange logistical support."
