If you want the negotiations to go smoothly, you must first get rid of the delusions of the Takeda retainers and tear off the label of prisoner on yourself.
These bastards only care about eating but not beating, and they don't know how to talk properly unless they scold.
The two families had a bloody encounter on Kawanakajima, and now the Uesugi army is not retreating, but is looking at them from outside. They actually dare to be arrogant against Yoshigashi Shiba. Who gave them the courage?
They dare to threaten Shiba Yoshigan? Shiba Yoshigan threatens them! He cannot kill the direct descendant of the Genji in Kawachi, and he is unwilling to fight again. What is there to fear about the Takeda paper tiger?
The atmosphere of the review fell into silence for a moment because of Shiba Yoshigan's tough attitude. The Takeda retainers calmed down and found that they really had nothing to do with him.
Yamagata Masakage had been observing at the bottom for a long time and noticed that Takeda Harunobu's attitude was ambiguous.
No matter whether Takeda Nobuyan or Aneyama Nobukun were embarrassed, the governor was not obviously displeased. Instead, he had a hint of appreciation for Shiba Yoshigan's strategy.
This is intriguing.
Takeda Noburen and Anayama Nobujun represent the attitude of the Takeda Ichimen and some Kaimen, they want to eat more and get more.
But the Shinano people have been pretending to be dead. It doesn't matter to them how many benefits the Takeda family can defraud, they will never support war anyway.
So how should Shanxian Changjing express its stance?
Yamagata Masakei, Baba Nobharu, Takasaka Masanobu and others each represented part of the Shodai clan and the flag base clan. This part of the Kai clan looked up to Takeda Harunobu as their leader.
Therefore, Shanxian Changjing has been thinking about the attitude of the family governor so that he can take sides.
She vaguely had an idea, so she stepped out of the queue, bowed, and said.
"The imperial platform is located in Changjing, Xiashan County.
In the Battle of Kawanakajima, both Uesugi and Takeda suffered heavy losses.
Now that the Uesugi family has proposed peace, they should show their sincerity so that the two families can start negotiations."
Yamaxian Masaki's words were much more polite than Anesama Nobu-kun's, which made Shiba Yiyin's expression soften.
Although the negotiations between the two parties were negotiations of equal strength, because Yoshihiro Shiba was trapped in Yantian City, Takeda Harunobu did have a trump card, and Uesugi Terutora was forced to take the initiative to negotiate a peace.
In negotiations, the party that takes the initiative to speak must be relatively passive at the negotiation table because it needs to show its cards first.
Shiba Yoshigan also knew that Takeda Harunobu could watch him suppress Takeda retainers without getting angry because it was good for her and would help her reintegrate the Takeda family.
But once we get serious about talking, Takeda Harunobu will never let go of the benefits he deserves.
The appearance of Masakage Yamagata showed that the Takeda retainers gradually recognized the reality and corrected their attitude. So, should Yoshigan Shiba also express something?
he said.
"Kawanaka Island is a river of blood, and heaven and earth are in mourning. For the sake of the people, His Highness Uesugi is willing to cease the war, and the two families will share Kawanaka Island."
Shanxian Changjing frowned.
"How to divide?"
"The north of Saikawa River belongs to Uesugi, the south of Saikawa River belongs to Takeda, and Kaijin Castle belongs to me. I will supervise the two families to avoid any disputes."
As soon as Shiba Yoshigan said this, the Takeda retainers group was in commotion again.
In today's Kawanakajima, the main force of the Uesugi family is at Zenkoji Temple north of Saikawa. On the other side, Ogasawara of Iiyama Castle has been guarding the main road for a long time to prevent the Takanashi Castle Takeda Army from attacking the supply line.
From a military perspective, the Takeda family took the initiative.
However, if the division of Shiba Yoshigan is followed, the Takeda family will not only spit out the old territory of Takanashi, but also evacuate Kaijin Castle, and all strategic advantages in Kawanaka Island will be lost.
Shanxian Changjing couldn't help but sigh.
"Otai Suo, you are too greedy."
They all talk out of compassion, but when it comes to drama, the focus of both parties is interests, and only interests.
According to Shiba Yoshigan's wishes, the Takeda family's battle for Kawanakajima was not only in vain, but also cost the reinforced Kaijin Castle.
If he can agree to this, Takeda Harunobu will soon face civil strife. No matter how good Yamagata Masakei is, he can't hold back the grief and anger of Takeda Bodai.
Takeda's right wing was defeated, and most of the more than 4,000 Takeda clan casualties in the Battle of Kawanakajima were Takeda clan members on the right wing. If the blood was shed in vain, it would be strange if these samurai families did not riot.
Facing the hatred of the Takeda retainers, Yoshigami Shiba shook his head and said calmly.
"The two Uesugi-Takeda families are fighting to get only Kawanaka Island to belong to? Only when Kaizu Castle is in my hands can the two families truly have peace.
The Takeda family invaded Hokushin and peeked into Nishi Ueno. Do you really fall in love with these two mountains?
No matter how good Kawanaka Island is, it is just a small plain surrounded by mountains, how much profit can it bring?"
The scenery of Shan County is silent.
In fact, the Takeda family's strategy was very clear: occupy Hokushin, capture Nishi Ueno, and reach the heart of Echigo.
Since the Takeda family has rushed forward with knives, the Echigo-Uesugi family must defend themselves. If the two families want peace, only the Takeda family can show their sincerity by giving up Kaizu Castle.
Shanxian Changjing bowed and asked.
"I dare to ask the imperial office, what can my family get by offering Haijin City to you?"
It is not strange for the lower class of the Wu family to donate soil to the upper class. It has been a practice since ancient times to send soil to seek refuge.
The Takeda family donated land to the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi, but they did not close the Sugi family's business. Telling it was not a matter of bowing down and admitting defeat, and it was not considered a shame.
But after Yoshigashi Shiba received the benefits, he had to show something to make the Takeda retainers feel that it was worth the money, otherwise there would still be no discussion.
From Takeda Harunobu's silence, Yamagata Masakage clearly felt that an agreement had been reached between the two His Highnesses. She was happy to cooperate and guide Yoshigan Shiba to reveal the price.
Sibo Yiyin stretched out his hand, raised his fingers one by one, and said.
"I highly appreciate the respect the Takeda family has for the shogunate and the Ashikaga family, and I will not depress the hearts of loyal ministers.
First, I will give the Takeda family three hundred koku of salt every year.
Second, after the strike between the two sides, the Hokuriku Road trade route opened by the Shiba family will import various materials to Zenkoji Ping in Hokushin.
Third, including daily necessities such as salt and iron cloth, the price of the goods we sell will be 30% lower than that of Tokaido."
Yamagata Masaki's eyes widened, and the group of Takeda retainers behind him were already whispering and buzzing.
She looked at Takeda Harunobu in disbelief. The terms negotiated by the family governor and Shiba Yoshigan were beyond her expectation.
After Shanxian Changjing confessed, it was confirmed again.
"Odaisuo, the salt you just mentioned is a reward?"
Sibo Yiyin said softly.
"Life in the mountains is not easy, and the Koshinobu family is short of salt. The Takeda family presented Kaijin Castle as a gift to the shogunate, and I should be grateful for it.
However, I also have a condition.
If the Takeda family invades the Suruga Kingdom and captures the Suruga Bay Saltworks and Sunfu Castle, the salt rewarded by the family will be completely cancelled, with the 30% discount in price.
I know that the Jiaxin Wu family is tough, but I still have to stay safe.
The Imagawa family is a kinsman of the Ashikaga family, you and others must not fail to advance north and then go south to seek an outlet to the sea, thus disturbing the peace of Suruga Country."
Yoshigan Shiba had a compassionate face, and his thick black appearance made Takeda Harunobu take another look at him.
Changjing of Shanxian County was even more dumbfounded, and Shiba Yiyin, who had a strong sense of justice, was also evil-minded and worthy of being the leader of the Wu family.
