When the Takeda family conquered Shinano Province, they attacked the Toshin area and defeated the powerful Umino family in the area. They fled to Azuma County in Nokuni to seek refuge.
The Sanada family was a branch of the Umino family, and they also left their hometown and lost their ancestral land.
After Takeda Shingen stabilized the Toshin area, in order to win over the local Shino clan, he also wanted to recruit the Umino family, the chief leader of the Shino clan, to return as a retainer.
The old lady of the Umino family is really stubborn and refuses to bow to the Takeda family even to death.
However, Sanada Nobunshige's grandmother Yukitaka Sanada could not leave her hometown. She was persuaded by Takeda Shingen to return and join the Takeda family. She made many military exploits and became the leader of the Toshin Sengata under the Takeda family.
By the time Yukitaka Sanada passed away, Nobushige Sanada, who had run away from home, had already emerged under the Shiba family.
At that time, Yukitaka Sanada could not see clearly the future development of the Takeda family and the Shiba family, so he split the Sanada family into two and used two boats.
Sanada Nobushige's mother and sister continued to stay under the Takeda family and inherited the Toshin territory.
However, Sanada Nobushige, who followed Yoshigan Shiba, parted ways with his family and led his Sanada people to march east and west to conquer Manchu to the end.
Today, Takeda Shingen has surrendered to the sage and has become a descendant of Shiba Kami. He no longer makes trouble in the Koshinobu Mountains, but instead takes over the Hitachi Kingdom from the sage and devours it.
This puts Sanada's hometown in the Koshishin Mountains in an awkward situation.
Sanada Nobushige's mother, Sanada Masayuki, and his sister, Sanada Yukiyuki, were both outstanding talents, but because of the strategic changes of the Takeda family, they were buried in the ravines of Toshin and wasted their time.
On the contrary, Sanada Nobushige followed the saint and made meritorious deeds in bloody battles. He climbed higher and higher and became the de facto leader of the Shino clan, the eldest sister.
It would be a lie to say that people in my hometown are not envious, but after becoming a mother, Sanada Masayuki would not be able to come to her daughter's side to make a living.
As for Sanada Nobunshige's sister Yukiyuki Sanada, she was also worried about who would be the leader of the Sanada two teams and couldn't lower her head.
Originally, there was no telling when the knot between mother and daughter would be untied, but who knew that Sanada Nobushige was so good at life that he even managed to sneak out of the Kanto Imperial Palace and live on the holy couch of a saint.
The Kanto Secretariat is no longer the grass-roots team it once was; it is the political consultation platform for the entire Kanto region.
Niko Yukimori, the deacon of the service office, ran away, and Nobushige Sanada, the acting official, became the nominal highest officer of the Kanto service office. This was a new level of power that the Shino clan had never reached in their history.
After boarding the holy couch, becoming pregnant with the divine seed, and becoming a descendant of Shiba God, they were blessed with wealth and honor, making the Sanada mother and daughter so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
When things have developed to this point, Masayuki Sanada and Yukiyuki Sanada can no longer find a reason not to bow their heads.
The Sanada family has become a Shiba Goddess, and together with the Takeda family will become the core of the ruling group in the future Shiba world, how can they be so coy?
No, Masayuki Sanada wrote a letter of concern and prepared to come to visit his pregnant daughter. This was a sign of submission.
Sanada Nobushige was in a dilemma. He was hiding in the mountains with a shriveled belly and pretending to be pregnant. How could he let his mother and sister come to visit him? That would have revealed his secret!
But if I reject it directly by writing a letter, I don’t know how long the relationship between mother and daughter, which has finally warmed up, will become tense again.
When he was in trouble, Umino Riichi came to visit. Sanada Nobushige simply pulled his cold-faced counselor and asked what he could do.
As soon as Umino Tori heard this, he felt troubled in his heart. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, not to mention that all three generations of the Sanada family are outstanding people, so there are some things that are hard to say.
After his ancestor Yukitaka Sanada returned to Toshin, he made several suggestions and was highly valued by Takeda Shingen.
After Kawanakajima, Sanada Nobushige ran away from home and joined the Shiba family. Sanada Yukitaka openly severed all relations with this granddaughter, but secretly helped her a lot.
Even on his deathbed, he never forgot to give Sanada Nobushige a last hand. He really put his eggs in two baskets. Whether it was to the Takeda family or the Shiba family, the Sanada family was considered loyal.
His mother, Sanada Masanobu, was also a prominent figure in the contemporary era. After inheriting the position of family governor, she acted effectively and her reputation among the Eastern believers increased day by day.
His elder sister, Nobuyuki Sanada, was also very intelligent. When he saw that Nobushige Sanada was gaining momentum, he secretly promoted the separate development of the two Sanada branches, and quietly retained his position as the legitimate son of his master's family.
It can be said that the three generations of the Sanada family are foxes with outstanding resourcefulness, big and small, but who would have thought that a tiger like Sanada Nobushige would pop out of this fox den.
Sanada Nobushige conquered the east and west and gained a great reputation. He was the best soldier in the world and was unparalleled in Kanto.
Sanada Yukitaka made a good plan, and the two groups developed independently, and eventually Sanada Nobushige took the lead, and the family couldn't even see their backs, which was embarrassing.
Umino Riichi did not like the utilitarianism of the Sanada family, especially since Yukiyuki Sanada once secretly calculated Sanada Nobushige, and the castle was very deep.
But she couldn't say anything to reject the Sanada family's kindness.
Sanada Nobushige has been working alone for many years, so she naturally longs for the approval of her family, especially since the Sanada and her two families have never been at odds with each other and have always maintained harmony in appearance.
A good mother has three gangs. In the Wu family group, one gang has always played an important role.
The Sanada Divine Descendants have already taken shape, and the Sanada clan has assessed the situation and is willing to come and join him. Naturally, Umino Riichi cannot encourage Sanada Nobushige to exclude his own family. This is not in line with the tradition of the samurai family.
After thinking for a while, Umino Riichi decided to delay for a while, so he said.
"Sir Sanada is interested in coming to visit our daughter. We shouldn't refuse, but the matter between you and Rin Sanada... the less people know about it, the less the risk of leaks.
I will personally go to Sanada Township to convey your joy and difficulties to Mr. Sanada, and ask her to be calm and wait for the divine descendant to be born. It will not be too late to rejoice.
After all, the Sanada family is still taking orders from the Takeda Kami lineage. Even if they want to move closer to the Sanada Kami lineage, they must take into account the face of the Takeda Kami lineage."
Sanada Nobushige smiled.
"Liu Niang still has a way."
Naturally, Sanada Nobushige, who was falsely pregnant, could not come forward to meet people at this time, but a suitable reason was needed to appease the Sanada family, and Umino Riichi's method was just right.
It's not that Sanada Nobushige doesn't want the Sanada family to visit, it's just that the divine descendant hasn't been born yet, so running around at this time is tantamount to irritating the Takeda family, which is inconsistent with etiquette.
Even if the Sanada two families intend to merge in the future, it will have to wait until the kami is born before the Sanada kami will have the same political status as the Takeda kami.
At that time, as long as the Sanada family reveals a little bit, that old fox Takeda Shingen will naturally give him face.
In fact, Takeda Shingen's thoughts in the past few years have been focused on Hitachi Country, and he has long lost interest in the Koshinobu Mountains.
The Takeda family has given up its ambition to conquer the world, and the strategic location of Shinano Kingdom, which extends in all directions, is no longer as important as before.
Shinano is mountainous, local forces are xenophobic, poor and unruly, so there is no fertile land like Hitachi Province that is easy to develop.
Takeda Shingen couldn't control it now, so he left the letter to his mother, Takeda Nobutora.
Takeda Nobutora is old and frail, so he has no energy to control the powerful people in various places. He just shows his teeth and scares everyone to stop getting into trouble and just be peaceful.
She has turned a blind eye to many local issues and allowed local autonomy to prevail, and she doesn't care about such a trivial matter as the Sanada twosomes approaching.
Umino Toshi looked at the delighted Sanada Nobushige and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As the Sanada clan surrendered, the influence of the Sanada clan finally penetrated into all areas of Toshin Nishi Ueno where the Shino clan is located.
The Shino clan, which had been divided for hundreds of years after the Kamakura shogunate, was reunited in the hands of Sanada Nobushige, a wild monkey who could not resemble a human king. It is truly a wonder of the impermanence of the world.
