Chapter 906: Mother and Daughter of the Takeda Family
After Takeda Nobutora finished speaking, Kosaka Masanobu couldn't help but lower his head behind him. Not only is it a hidden danger to the marriage partner, this child may cause even greater trouble.
Takeda Harunobu smiled slightly and said to his mother.
"If this child is a daughter, I will become a monk and practice Buddhism, and we will no longer be related to each other."
Takeda Nobutora cursed.
"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"
She cursed and cursed, but there was nothing she could do about Takeda Harunobu.
She now only has the identity of Takeda Harunobu's biological mother. She has been out of power for many years and has no strength to threaten her daughter. Besides scolding her and making nonsense, what else can she do?
Feeling unhappy, Takeda Nobutora took a few steps back and said with a cold face.
"Hojo Genan arrived at Kakegawa Castle and persuaded the Imagawa clan to really go live in Izu Country. They came to me to make peace with you, hoping that both parties would let it go.
The Imagawa clan is really heartbroken because of the betrayal of the Suruga clan and the Toe clan. Now, except for Asahina Taitomo of Kakegawa Castle, she cannot trust anyone.
The Hojo family made several conditions, but I always feel that this is not the bottom line of the Hojo family. Hojo Genan pretends to be calm, but in fact she is very impatient and can appropriately suppress their conditions."
"Mother wants me to agree to negotiate peace?"
Takeda Nobutora snorted coldly.
"You don't need to test me. I know the foundation of the Kaifei people very well. It is already difficult for them to persist in this battle.
When I entered the city just now, there was a scandal in the castle town where the Kaibi people robbed the property of commercial houses. You know it in your heart, do you not want to take care of it, or do you dare not take care of it?
Since it's so difficult, let's take the opportunity to step down.
I have been in Suruga Country for many years, and I want to remind you that the Tokaido trade route has been open for many years, and the merchants here have a very deep relationship with the Suruga people.
Regardless of whether you intentionally allow the Kai clan to fight for the merchant's property or not, the Suruga clan will accumulate dissatisfaction.
Heed my advice, stop fighting, and clean up the inside to avoid following in the footsteps of the Imagawa family.
Hojo Ujiyasu's goal is not Tokaido. It's not worth it for you to compete with her here. Matsudaira Motoyasu is the person you should be careful about.
This concubine is quite capable, and she bribed three people from Xiyuanjiang without any hesitation, and she occupied most of Yuanjiang Kingdom in one spring and summer, so you must be careful."
Takeda Harunobu glanced at his mother who was talking eloquently, and felt moved in his heart.
"My mother told me so much today, but she has the intention to travel far away?"
Takeda Nobutora laughed.
"I spent the first half of my life working hard for the Takeda family, and the second half of my life was held in the hands of Imagawa Yoshimoto as a trump card against you.
Now, Mr. Imagawa really doesn't like me, and you don't want to see me, so why should I stay here? I've long wanted to visit Konki, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to make the trip until I'm gray-haired.
I came to work as a lobbyist for the Imagawa-Hojo family today to repay the favor of Imagawa Yoshimoto. I have no control over whether you are willing to negotiate a peace later.
This time when I go back, I will leave directly and go to Kinji."
Takeda Harunobu hesitated for a while and replied.
"It's not peaceful these days. My mother can actually go back to Kai to take care of herself."
Takeda Nobutora glanced at her, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Maybe one day, when I get tired of staying outside, I will want to return to my hometown.
I just hope that by then, you will still remember me as your mother and leave a place for me."
Takeda Harunobu closed his eyes.
"A mother is always a mother. No matter when, there will always be a seat for you in Kai."
Takeda Nobutora stood up, turned around and picked up the swords he had thrown away, and hung them on his waist one by one.
"I will not tell the Imagawa and Hojo families about your pregnancy. But I still hope that after you give birth to the child, you can consider getting married."
Takeda Harunobu opened his eyes and smiled at his mother.
"Mother, what do you think of the Buddhist name Shingen?"
Takeda Nobutora angrily threw his hands and walked out.
"I don't care! I don't care anymore! Just go and do whatever you want!"
When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and said.
"The Imagawa and Hojo families use the sea route to communicate freely in Suruga Bay. This is bullying the Takeda family because they have no navy. Ise-Shima and Shima are rich in navy. I will go there first to take a look."
Takeda Harunobu said calmly.
"Thank you for your trouble, Mother, Masanobu Takasaka."
"Hi!"
"Mother, please prepare the expenses for your trip to Kokomo."
"Hi!"
This time, Takeda Nobutora did not refuse his daughter's kindness. She finally turned back and took a deep look at Takeda Harunobu.
"Watch yourself."
Takeda Harunobu straightened her waist, which was thick due to pregnancy, and bowed reluctantly.
"Mother, please take care of me."
After saying that, the two of them never looked at each other again. Let's live well in the future.
———
The Hojo Imagawa family invited Takeda Nobutora to Sunfu Castle to promote peace with Takeda Harunobu. Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was stationed at Hima Castle in the middle of Toe Province, was also paying attention to the movements of these three families.
In the Eima Castle Castle Tower, Matsudaira Motoyasu was listening to the information from the Ninja people.
There were also several important ministers present, including Sakai Tadatsuji, the leader of the Higashi Mikawa flag, Ishikawa Sumasa, the leader of the Nishi Mikawa flag, and Hondo, the veteran minister of the gene generation.
With the stability of the Mikawa Kingdom, most of the Yuanjiang people surrendered. The Matsudaira family business flourished, and Matsudaira Motoyasu became more and more majestic.
After hearing the information, she frowned.
"So, Takeda Harunobu has agreed to the conditions, so has the Imagawa family really left Kakegawa Castle?"
"Back to Your Highness, Your Highness Imagawa has already gone to Izu Country with Hojo Genan's ship."
The people who sat down kowtowed to the ground and stood up again. They raised their heads to reveal a delicate, childish face with an indifferent expression. This person was Hattori Masashige, the daughter of Hattori Bounaga.
The Hattori family was originally the head of the Iga clan and the leader of the wild samurai in Yuno.
Because the Iga Kingdom was besieged by the samurai clan of the shogunate, Hattori Yasunaga intended to join the Ashikaga Shogun in his early years to change the fate of the Iga people, but the result was a failure.
Completely discouraged, she led her tribe to leave the hopeless Iga Country and came to Mikawa Country to join the Matsudaira family. It has been three generations since then. Hattori Masashige is her daughter and her heir.
In this expedition to the Yangtze River, Hattori Baochang asked his daughter to take the lead because he wanted her to show her face in front of the master and prepare for the inheritance of the family business.
Matsudaira Motoyasu asked Hattori Masashige to leave, and after she left, he spoke to the three important ministers.
"Takeda Harunobu made an appointment with me. The two families will attack the Imagawa family. She will get Suruga and I will get Toe. The two sides will use Oigawa as the boundary.
Now she is forced to renege on the alliance due to the threat of the Hojo family. But I have not yet completely controlled the Yuanjiang Kingdom, so it is not appropriate to fall out with her at this time."
Honda bowed several times and said.
"That's what His Highness said.
If we fall out with the Takeda family now, with Takeda Harunobu's cunningness, she will definitely hide behind her back to support the Toyoji family to resist our family and consume our strength.
After she has completely digested the Suruga Kingdom, she will take the opportunity to attack and break into the Yuanjiang Kingdom to snatch this place from my family."
Sakai Chuji shook his head and kept saying it was a pity.
"The Imagawa family is really a mediocre person. They gave up the ancestral land of the Imagawa family and fled to Izu country to be protected by the Hojo family.
I really feel ashamed of my ancestors and of the Wu family."
