Chapter six hundred and twentieth seven return to serve
Oyamada Nobushige looked back and saw that it was Nobunaga Anayama who came out to speak, and his nose suddenly twisted in anger.
The two families were so close before that they joined forces to give Takeda Harunobu eye drops. Now that she has been betrayed, how can she not be angry?
But it’s unexpected, but it’s also reasonable.
When it comes to who among the Takeda family wants to go south the most, it is none other than the Anayama family. The Anayama family and the Imagawa family are separated by the Fuji River, and they have already been jealous of the Imagawa family's wealth.
At the beginning, Imagawa Yoshimoto was known as the giant of Tokaido. He took the lead in forming the alliance of Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo, and the Imagawa family was the strongest.
The Anayama family looked at it with greed, but they did not dare to say anything to encourage Takeda Harunobu to go south. But times have changed, and now the Imagawa family is a piece of fat.
The Imagawa family is really powerless to control the Three Kingdoms dominated by the Imagawa family.
The Nishi-Mikawa Matsudaira family is conquering the entire Mikawa Kingdom, and the Imagawa family is still having conflicts between the Suruga clan and the Toe clan.
The Imagawa family really couldn't handle the retainers group. As the governor of the family, she could only control the Sunfu Castle area, and her prestige was far inferior to that of her mother, Imagawa Yoshimoto.
The Anayayama family saw this and were anxious in their hearts. If Takeda Harunobu insists on going north to attack Echigo for such a soft persimmon, is he mentally ill?
Now that the Takeda family has suffered a setback in Kawanakajima, and Yoshigan Shiba has offered such good conditions to encourage Takeda Harunobu to turn south, Nobu-kun Anayama will definitely jump in to support him.
Previously, she collaborated with Oyamada Nobushige to attack Shiba Yoshigan, aiming to undermine Takeda Harunobu's prestige and expand the power of the Anayama family among the Kai people.
Now that she saw the possibility of the Takeda family turning south, her butt instantly tilted to the side of Shiba Yoshigan, and she turned against Nobushige Oyamada and supported the peace talks between the Takeda and Uesugi families.
Oyamada Nobumo turned pale with anger, and Yamagata Masaki also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
As a close confidant of Takeda Harunobu, her attitude was not as firm as that of the Shinano family and the Anayayama family, and she seemed like an outsider.
Fortunately, with the support of these two forces, Takeda Harunobu can negotiate a peace with the Uesugi family and the strategic change of turning southward will be much smoother.
After Nobu-kun Anayama jumped out, he took the initiative to argue with Oyamada Nobumo. Yoshigan Shiba and Harunobu Takeda looked at each other and knew in their hearts that the overall situation was decided.
At this time, Takeda Harunobu, who had been silent, suddenly said to Shiba Yoshigan.
"In the imperial office, it is a good thing for the two families to negotiate a peace to avoid disaster, but there is something I don't understand.
Since you have drawn the boundaries for the Takeda family, does that mean that the Takeda family has the support of you and the shogunate in dominating the Shinano country?
The Shinano Kingdom was in chaos for a hundred years. The general of Shinano of the Murakami family and the guardian of Shinano of the Ogasawara family had overlapping responsibilities. This was also a major factor.
Now that the Takeda family controls most of Shinano, the shogunate might as well remove the servitude of these two families and let the Takeda family serve as the guardians of Shinano to maintain local peace.
Do you think it's okay?"
Takeda Harunobu smiled and spoke, but Shiba Yoshigan's face darkened, and finally glared at Takeda Harunobu.
This bastard takes it too far!
Among the conditions that the two of them had negotiated privately before, Shinano's protection was not included. She proposed this condition at a time when the trend of the Takeda retainers group was about to change, and defeated Shiba Yoshigan's army.
The Takeda retainers group had just relaxed their attitude and wanted to go south, but their internal opinions were not unified yet.
If Yoshigan Shiba rejects Takeda Harunobu's proposal at this time, the sincerity of the peace negotiation will be questioned by the Takeda retainers group.
The suppressed pro-Hojo forces within the Takeda family have room to operate again. Negotiating peace on Kawanakajima adds new variables to the Takeda family's southward strategy.
The purpose of Yoshigan Shiba giving so many benefits was to get the Takeda family to go south and create trouble for the Hojo family. Now that things have come to an end, it will seriously interfere with the progress of the Kanto strategy.
Yoshigan Shiba laughed angrily, looking at the smiling Takeda Harunobu, he was furious. This guy was definitely waiting here to trick me on purpose.
As time passed, Yoshigami's silence made Takeda's retainers change from expectations to doubts, and then began to feel uneasy.
Shiba Yiyin sighed and said.
"I will come forward to coordinate with His Highness Murakami and His Highness Ogasawara and suggest that they give up their service positions in Shinano.
After that, I will report to the shogunate and appoint the Takeda family as the guardian of Shinano."
Takeda Harunobu seemed relaxed, but in fact, he was extremely nervous as Yoshigami.
She didn't want the negotiation to fail, but she still took a gamble so that the Takeda family could occupy Shinano without leaving any trouble.
Now that his dream has come true, Takeda Harunobu can't help but clench his right hand and feel happy in his heart.
The Takeda family has become the guardian of the two kingdoms of Kai and Shinano, and can finally officially represent the Koshin samurai group and go out to conquer the world.
Seeing Takeda Harunobu's uncontrollable joy, Shiba Yoshigan said one more thing.
"But I have a condition."
Takeda Harunobu frowned slightly and asked respectfully.
"Please speak, please."
"I want the Takeda family to return the relatives, retainers, wealthy families, and allies of the Ogasawara family and the Murakami family who have been kidnapped over the years."
Takeda Harunobu was stunned and looked a little embarrassed.
Kai was poor and short of money, and the most criticized aspect of the Takeda family after they went abroad to conquer the country was the sale of prisoners of war and their relatives.
Especially during the Battle of Hokushin, all samurai loyal to the Murakami family near Yantian City were sold off to Kai Country. Although this was a strategic success, it also became a huge stain on the Takeda family.
Sibo Yiyin said coldly.
"When two armies clash, the defeated loses their territory and even their lives. But selling the local samurai family as slaves would hurt the Takeda family's popularity too much.
The Murakami family and the Ogasawara family have lived in Shinano country for a long time, and have many relatives and friends. Now that they have been completely ruined by the Takeda family, how can I have the nerve to speak to these two highnesses?
Should His Highness Takeda express his sincerity first in order to gain the understanding of His Highnesses?"
Takeda Harunobu was speechless, Yoshigami Shiba took all the moral responsibility, and the Takeda family really could not refute.
But who knows how many of the Takeda families that have been trafficked over the years are still under the control of the Takeda family?
Those who disappeared, those who were killed, those who were tortured to death, and those who were scattered to various families as slaves. It is not an easy task to find out, gather and return the remaining people.
Shiba Yiyin didn't bother to care about her troubles, he was just deliberately looking for trouble.
When Yoshigan Shiba helped the Takeda family ask for Shinano's protection, it was nothing more than an order from Mitsurugi, and it was enough to report it to the shogunate afterwards.
The shogunate was so defeated that it didn't bother to care about who was king and hegemony in the mountains of the two countries. At most, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was unhappy. After all, the relationship between the Takeda family and the Ashikaga family was not good.
Yoshihiro Shiba must take care of and appease the emotions of the Murakami family and the Ogasawara family, who can serve as a buffer for Echigo. This is for the long-term peace and stability of Hokushin and not to affect the progress of the Kanto strategy.
Therefore, he wanted to seek justice for the two families to gain their gratitude. Then he changed his mind and gave the Shinano Guardianship to Takeda Harunobu.
Takeda Harunobu saw Shiba Yoshigan's serious face and knew that this matter would not go away.
It was she who went back on her word first and caught Sibo Yiyin off guard by temporarily increasing the price. Sibo Yiyin's counterattack was also reasonable.
The two negotiating parties are of equal strength, and it is impossible for Takeda Harunobu to only take advantage and not suffer losses.
