Chapter 644 50. Matsuda Yasudai Talks About Yamauchi
A man who knows the current situation is a hero, this is the truth, but heroes may not be willing to know the current situation.
Oishi Ujiteru is naturally a hero of the time. Seeing the coalition army of more than 40,000 people coming, he was as clear as a mirror in his heart, let's negotiate! Everyone stop fighting! What can't be negotiated?
If the conditions are right, even the people in the coalition are willing to talk. Of course, the negotiations will not prevent them from continuing to fight in Minami Musashi, looting and talking! No conflict!
In summary, the coalition's demands are not too many. Kobumi Yoshizumi just wants to hold on to the Shimotsuke and Shimotsu territories that originally supported the Koga lord, and the Hojo family will give up all the rights and interests here. Kobumi Yoshizumi will revive the family and succeed smoothly. As for the princes of the whole country and the Kanto region, he not only dares not do it, but also dares not even think about it.
The Shimotsuke people just saw that the Hojo family was in trouble, so they came to beat them up and robbed them. There are almost no other demands. Because the Hojo hadn't occupied their land yet, they just wanted someone to cover up for them so that they could go back and continue their internal strife.
The Hitachi provincial people were like dreaming. Originally, Hosokawa Saijo sent 500 koku of food, saying that they were going to make a fortune in the Hojo territory of Shimotsuma. Anyway, they were hungry at home, so let's go! As a result, they came, just two days later, saying that they were going to Oshino Castle to fight with more people and eat up the Hojo reinforcements. They thought that the majority would bully the minority, so let's go! Now they are robbing outside Edo Castle in a muddle.
Let alone political demands, nothing was prepared. Anyway, everyone has big and small bags, and those who should be happy have almost finished their lives, and there is basically no regret. Whatever you say, the Yamanouchi family, we will just watch the show.
The Ueno provincial people of Nagano Yoshinori came to restore some morale and military spirit. After a big defeat at Hirai Castle, not many people died, but the people's hearts were scattered! As everyone knows, in the Warring States period, people's hearts were scattered, and it was difficult to lead the team. If you want to lead a team well, you must let your subordinates make money and share the territory.
The territory will definitely not be divided, but this time it will definitely make up for the old capital that Hirai lost. The team can barely be led, and there is nothing to worry about.
To put it bluntly, now everyone basically looks at Yamauchi Taro's intention. And Yamauchi Taro's intention is actually the intention of the Yamauchi clan judges present.
The envoy from Edo Castle, Matsuda Chikuzen-no-kami Yasudasa, the deputy of Matsuda Kenhide, the head of the Odawara clan, one of the three magistrates under Odawara Castle, the territory is in Kawagoe Castle, and the Shimokosaka is 103 kan 11 mon.
Well, the territory was just taken away by the Yamauchi family!
"Why did Mutsu-no-kami send you here?" Kohira looked at Matsuda Yasudasa leisurely in front of him.
"I came here for the safety of the Yamanouchi family!"
"Wow! What a big tone!" Seeing this man's strong words, Hosokawa Saijo retorted.
"Haha, tell me, why is my Yamanouchi clan not at peace?"
"Your family and Kasugayama Kanrei are relatives, and we have made an alliance for three generations to help each other. Is that right or not? When it comes to the ascension of His Highness, Kasugayama Kanrei helped and stabilized the country, and his contribution is great!
And now Kanto is in Kasugayama Kanrei's pocket. If your family wins and takes it, how will His Highness Kanrei look at it? Let's not talk about the Eight Princes for now. The big country of Wuzhou has a high position of 186,000 kan, which is more than half of your family's current position. It's like a tiger swallowing an elephant, and it's impossible to catch it.
Why not stop the war, each side maintains its borders, and agree not to fight. Kawagoe, Matsuyama, and Hatagata will be given to His Highness as a horse ranch. It will also not hurt the relationship between your family and the Kanrei, isn't it wonderful!"
What a eloquent person!
The alliance between the Yamanouchi family and the Uesugi family must be maintained. If these two huge families go to the opposite side, then don't play! By the time Kawanakajima wins, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Osaka Castle may have been built!
Matsuda Yasuda made it very clear that Kanto is where Uesugi Kenshin's interests lie. If even the closest allies seize the rights and interests of Kanto, Uesugi Kenshin will be dissatisfied.
Moreover, Musashi alone can match the kangao of almost two or three countries. It is impossible for the Yamanouchi family to eat a fat man in one bite. It will only be full of forests and thousands of kan in the process of expansion, and then explode.
It's better to stop while you are ahead, and come back next year!
You Yamanouchi family took the tens of thousands of kan of territory in Kitamushi and stopped there. Uesugi Kenshin would not be too angry if he knew it. You Yamanouchi family can slowly digest tens of thousands of kan, and you can build nuclear missions and change culture in one go.
What you eat is what you really eat. What's the point of putting it in your mouth and not being able to swallow it?
It's useless to watch and worry!
On the surface, it really does mean that! What Matsuda Yasunari said was all true, nothing fancy. Starting from reality, presenting facts, and reasoning, "well-intentioned".
Many people present felt that what he said made sense, and even fell into deep thought!
But he had a premise that was preset and completely taken for granted! Xiaoping had fought for more than ten years. If he didn't even have this kind of brain and couldn't see the interests, what good would he do!
"Thank you for your concern, Mutsu-no-kami! A few days ago, my highness and the Koga Kubo have crowned the Uesugi Musashi-no-kami Yoshitori, and have come to Luoyang to succeed him as the guardian of Musashi! Musashi-no-kami has revived his family and entered Matsuyama Castle!"
"What!" Matsuda Yasunari almost blurted out!
Are you all in the Yamanouchi family out of your minds? You put your head on your belt, went out and cut off tens of thousands of kan of territory with a knife and a gun, and gave it away to a fourteen-year-old child for free?
"Your Excellency has heard correctly. The seven and a half counties of Kodama, Kame, Naga, Hazelnut, Nanfu, Chichibu, Hiki, and Iruma, which are located near Matsuyama, and have a total of about 60,000 kan, will all be handed over to His Highness Musashi-no-kami to revive the family!"
"This..."
"Okay, does Your Excellency have any questions?"
"Where is Kawagoe! Kawagoe is an important town!..."
"It is the retirement allowance of His Highness Fukaya, the successor of Musashi-no-kami!" Kobayata smiled and nodded to Uesugi Shizukata.
Although Kawagoe Castle was nominally used as the retirement allowance for old man Uesugi Shizukata, the old man had to assist Uesugi Yoshinori in Matsuyama Castle and could not manage Kawagoe at all. Our Yamanouchi family is a good family, so we reluctantly let him manage it on his behalf.
It would be great to do good things and help the old man share the pressure!
"Your family is really courageous, rare in the world!" Matsuda Yasuda sat down on the stool like a deflated man, and had nothing to say.
The Yamanouchi family didn't take a single piece of land, and directly released a vassal with tens of thousands of kan, without any over-expansion, and without any diplomatic penalties.
Besides, you are a Uesugi, and I am also a Uesugi. If you, Uesugi Kenshin, come to Kanto, I will immediately come to greet you with a basket and a pot, without saying a word. Isn't this better than leaving some traitors behind?
And the Yamanouchi family has since had enough cover in Kanto. Hojo wants to attack Yamanouchi's core territory, Koshin, but can't. Yamanouchi only needs to make every effort to break through the natural barrier of Hakone Mountain to attack Odawara Castle.
"Tell Mutsu no Kami! Open the city and pay tribute, and you can avoid death! Defend the city and resist the king's army, and both will perish!"
