Terutora Uesugi also knew that he was in trouble for Naoe Keizuna, so he said gently.
"Naoe-hime, don't focus on the present. Lord Kenshin has not caused my family to suffer.
With this agreement, the Takeda family will inevitably turn south and the alliance of Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo will be broken, which will be very beneficial to the Kanto strategy.
The heart of Echigo has also been given a buffer zone, so we no longer have to worry about safety. From this agreement, my family will benefit the most."
Naoe Keizuna nodded in agreement.
From a strategic point of view, Yoshihiro Shiba had good intentions for the Kanto strategy of the new Uesugi family and achieved the best strategic situation.
The Takeda family went south to Suruga country, disturbing the peace on the west side of the Hojo family's territory, and even turned against each other.
The Takeda family returned to invade the Imagawa family, and the threat from Hokushin and Nishi Ueno was instantly eliminated. Takeda Harunobu would not be so crazy that the north and the south would fight on both sides.
And the Echigo-Uesugi family had the right to control the Kanto region, so they could directly enter the Kanto Plain from the Ueno Kingdom.
The Uesugi family and the Takeda family actually formed a tacit strategic understanding, suppressing the Hojo family from left to right, so that her family could not care about each other. This peace agreement was actually a win-win for both families.
But these strategic benefits cannot be explained by the retainer group. These bastards can only see the immediate benefits.
The retainers group will only think that the Echigo-Uesugi family has suffered a loss and has not received any benefits, and they have only worked for the Shiba family and the Hokushin community.
When you tell them about strategic advantages, they talk about it but don't take it seriously. Short-sightedness and profit-seeking are the norm in the Wu family.
How much talk did Takeda Harunobu waste in trying to persuade the Anayayama family and the Oyamada family to go north?
As a result, a large number of people were lost in the battle of Kawanakajima, and both families immediately became disobedient. Most of the retainers' group also turned neutral and disobeyed the control of the retainers.
If Yoshigan Shiba hadn't taken advantage of him, Takeda Harunobu might not have been able to control the chaos within the Takeda family.
Takeda Harunobu’s combination of kindness and power almost overwhelmed the Takeda retainers group. Can Terutora Uesugi be as cunning as Takeda Harunobu?
Teruhora Uesugi's usual approach is that I have big fists and I'm good at hitting. If you don't want to obey me, you can give it a try.
Naoe Keizuna had no doubt that Uesugi Teruhora was capable of forcing the new Uesugi retainers to bow, but the price of bowing was too high.
Not to mention the Kanto strategy, the civil strife and internal strife caused by dissatisfaction would be enough for Teruhora Uesugi to drink from a pot. When the gourd is pressed and the ladle is lifted, most of the energy will be consumed internally.
Yamanaka Yukimori felt anxious when she saw Naoe Keizuna refused to speak. She felt more and more that she was powerless and her words were too light.
Within the Shiba family, the Yamanaka Nizi party is quite powerful, but Yamanaka Yukimori's personal strength and status are not high.
If Shima Katsuo is here and she speaks as the representative of Shiba in Kanto, Naoe Keizuna must consider the attitude of the Shiba family.
But Yamanaka Yukimori is just a small guard leader. She has barely the qualifications to sit here to discuss matters, and she always makes the following mistakes when she opens her mouth.
She has never been so eager for power and the status of equal communication with these high-level martial arts families.
At this moment, Yamanaka Yukimori could only helplessly turn his attention to Daokuma Chaohide, hoping that she would speak up and persuade Naoe Keizuna.
Okuma Chaohide was in a dilemma. Yoshihiro Shiba did not set up a deacon at the Kanto Service Office. Her status was actually very vague, and she was on par with Yamanaka Yukimori.
Neither of them is a leader-level figure in the Kanto Shiba clan and the Kanto service station. The communication within the Shiba family is fine, but when it comes to the meeting between the leaders of the Uesugi Shiba family, they are inferior.
However, as the leader of the Sino-Vietnamese clan and the chief executive of the Kanto Secretariat in charge of commercial profits, Daxiong Chaohide's status was always a little higher than that of Yamanaka Yukimori.
At this time, for the sake of Sibo Yiyin's safety, she said even if she didn't want to speak.
"Naoe-sama, I do have some ideas. Can we think of countermeasures on Zenkoji Ping's supplies to convince the short-sighted?"
Ohuma Asahide saved face for Naoe Keizuna, and did not point his nose at the new Uesugi retainers for being short-sighted and feeling like they were at a disadvantage despite getting benefits.
Naoe Keizuna is in a dilemma. Daxiong Chaohide has an idea, and of course she is willing to listen.
"Big Bear Princess, please speak, I am all ears."
Da Xiong Chao Xiu said.
"I have been managing the Hokuriku Dou Trading Road these days, and I have a rough understanding of commodity prices in various trading towns.
The price of materials imported from the Tokaido to Kai Country seems to be very unkind."
Naoe Keizuna nodded.
"Sundu Castle Town relies on the unique Tokaido trade route, so the prices have always been high."
Naoe Keizuna and Ohuma Asahide were in charge of the Hokuriku Dou trading route, and they were also concerned about the prices on the Tokaido side.
In the past, the Hokuriku Road trade route could only be used for small-scale trade due to Kaga. The Nakayama Road route at the junction of Meino and Shinano was a rugged mountain road and did not have the conditions for large-scale commercial logistics.
The Tokaido Trade Road is the only logistics channel that connects Kanto and Kansai on a large scale. Even huge profits are not enough to describe the income of Sunpu Castle.
The Imagawa family is also a greedy samurai family. For the Takeda family, as an ally, it would be nice to give them some cheap supplies. The goods imported on a large scale are still dumped at high prices. You can buy it or not.
Naoe Keizuna's heart moved and he asked.
"What Ohma-hime means is that we can make money with the help of Zenkojihei's supplies and use these profits to appease the Echigo samurai family?"
Daxiong nodded towards Xiu and said.
"The imperial office must also have this consideration, please take a look.
The terms stated that the prices of materials at Zenkoji Temple were 30% lower than those at Sunpu Castle. This statement is very ambiguous.
I have calculated that even if we take into account the damage and logistics involved in transporting it to Zenkoji Ping, and take off 30% of the market price, we will still make a huge profit."
Naoe Keizuna squinted his eyes and thought.
The salt, hemp cloth, and brown rice that are necessary for daily life are all Echigo specialties, and the cost is not high.
Ohuma Asahide and she controlled the Echigo market and could purchase the output of the local samurai at high prices and pass the profits on to them.
The most important thing is that this transaction is not a loss. Because the price of Sunpu Castle was too high, Echigo bought it at a high price and sold it at a low price at Zenkoji Temple, but still made a lot of money. This shows the greed of the Imagawa family.
No wonder Takeda Harunobu was able to turn around and head south without hesitation. These two families were really like sisters, and they probably didn't like each other for a long time.
Daxiong Chaoxiu nodded at Naoe Keizuna. She immediately understood the key and bowed with a smile.
"Okuma Hime is a great talent and was taught by Naoe Keizuna."
Daxiong Chaohide didn't dare to say anything and bowed in return. Naoe Keizuna turned to Uesugi Teruhora and smiled.
"Your Highness, there should be no problem."
Terutora Uesugi smiled.
In fact, she is not worried that the retainers group will cause chaos. As long as Shiba Yiyin can come back safely, we will worry about the trouble in the future.
After she served in the Yuan Dynasty, she spent most of her time either fighting rebellions or on the road to fighting them, and she had long been accustomed to the repetitions of the Echigo samurai family.
But Naoe Keetsuna could find a way to save herself from trouble in the future, so of course she would be happy to let her handle these chores.
Terutora Uesugi said.
"Okay, in that case, you will be solely responsible for the specific negotiations of the peace.
Tomorrow you go south to Yantian City, negotiate the terms clearly, and send them back for me to browse and sign, so that Duke Qianxin can return as soon as possible."
"Hi!"
Since the terms are fine, let's leave the trivial details to Naoe Keizuna.
Finish it as soon as possible and let Shiba Yigen come back as soon as possible. As for the internal wrangling within the Uesugi Army, let's wait until they come back.
Anyway, Shiba Yiyin is best at this kind of thing, let him play by himself.
