The seemingly simple, but extremely crazy character is a new image tailor-made by Umino Riichi for Sanada Nobushige.
To win the favor of rice is to win the hatred of rice.
The Wu family is like a group of white-eyed wolves who are fed unfamiliar food. They will not be grateful to you for giving them food, but will ask for more. If they are not satisfied, they will become resentful.
To become the alpha wolf among this group of hungry wolves, one must be more ruthless, colder, and more bloodthirsty than them in order to intimidate them.
As for how to beat and tame these people into domestic dogs in the future, that is a matter for the future.
———
After the meeting, Yukiyuki Sanada immediately bid farewell to Nobushige Sanada and returned to Sanada Township to prepare military supplies.
Sanada Nobushige sent her outside Feathertail Castle and bowed gratefully.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister."
Yukiyuki Sanada smiled.
"You and I, sisters, why are you so open-minded?
It was your mother who prepared the food and supplies, and it was your grandmother who decided to support you in taking over Yangui City. I was just helping out with the errands.
But there is one thing I want to say beforehand. There was talk in the family before that we would help you take over Yangui City, so the food, grass and military requirements were calculated based on the monthly cost of five hundred Ji warriors.
Now, you want to take advantage of the situation to take over the entire Azuma County, and even take advantage of the civil strife in the Numata family to get your name in Walnut City.
I'm a little worried, are these military supplies enough for you to fight continuously?"
"There are indeed some shortcomings. Can our family support more military supplies?"
Yukiyuki Sanada shook his head and said.
"It's difficult.
Although the grandmother is named the leader of the Toxins, the Takeda family does not completely trust the family. Yantian City in the central and southern part of the Ueda Basin is secretly supervised by Anji Anashi, dispatched by the Takeda family.
If the family mobilizes a large number of supplies, farmers and soldiers to participate in the battle of Azuma County, it will be difficult to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Takeda family."
Sanada Nobushige nodded.
"I understand, my family has already given me a lot of support, and I will not push myself further and ask for more.
What is the origin of Anji Anji? Will she pose a threat to our family if she stays in Yantian City? "
Yukiyuki Sanada shook his head.
"Yantian City is the core of the old territory of the Murakami family. Although it was originally cleaned up by His Highness Takeda, when the Kawanakajima peace was negotiated, many samurai loyal to the Murakami family were sent there.
The current strategy of the Takeda family is in the south. Anji Anzan was sent to be the mayor of Yantian City, mainly to prevent the Murakami family from secretly infiltrating and reviving their local power.
It's just that this concubine is quite talented. With her staying in Yantian City, I have to be careful when doing things to avoid being caught and causing trouble.
As for her origin, she should be Nobu-kun Anayama’s niece.”
Sanada Nobushige touched his head.
“Isn’t the territory of the Anayama family close to Suruga Country?
When the Takeda family invaded Suruga Country, shouldn't the Anayama family send all their troops to help? Why would they send people north to Toshin to guard the rear?"
Yukiyuki Sanada smiled slightly.
"I think His Majesty Takeda doesn't want the Anayama family to gain too much military glory during the Suruga invasion.
By the way, now that you occupy Yuwei City, what are you going to do with the Yuwei family?"
Sanada Nobushige said.
"The Habio family are in-laws of the Minawa Castle Nagano family, and they also have considerable influence among the Umino families in Azuma County.
Yukiyo Yukiyo's mind is quite clear. Since she is willing to give in, I don't want to do anything wrong. I will return Yukiyo Castle once I take over the city."
Yukiyuki Sanada sighed.
"Feather City is located in the center of Nishi-Azuma. It can connect Toshin Sanada Township and Hokushin Iiyama, becoming the connection point between our family and your territory.
This time, the Yuwei family almost took over the Umino family name, and almost became the head of the Shino family. Keeping her family is always a hidden danger, so you have to be aware of it."
Sanada Nobushige smiled.
"I also understand my sister's concerns. It's just that my footing is not yet stable, and it's not time to settle old accounts yet."
"As long as you understand."
The two sisters were talking, and the confidant Hime Samurai beside them remained silent. Only Umino Ri's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Yukichi Sanada seemingly casually.
Yukiyuki Sanada gave some instructions, and finally waved to his queue, and a Hime Samurai came out to bow.
"Time is running out. Let me tell you one last thing. Do you recognize this person?"
Sanada Nobushige winked at the man and smiled.
"How come you don't know me? Isn't this Jiuzang? Long time no see. How is your mother?"
Kenjuzo replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Xinfan, for your concern. My mother is fine."
This Ken Juzo is the daughter of Sanada's retainer Ken Tohide, how could Sanada Nobunaga not recognize her.
she asked.
"Sister, do you want Kejuzo to follow me?"
Yukiyuki Sanada answered.
"This is what grandma meant. Jijuzang is very knowledgeable about iron cannons. Grandma hopes she can help you.
Grandma said that iron cannons are the future, you have to remember that."
Sanada Nobushige laughed.
"It's not such an exaggeration, what do you think, Jianjuzang?"
After Jiuzang bowed, he said seriously.
"I think the governor is right.
I have traveled around recent years and found that in recent wars, iron artillery has been used more and more frequently, and the proportion of rations in the military has also been increasing.
Ever since Tanegashima iron cannon craftsmanship was brought to Japan, merchants from Sakai Port and people from Kii Province have joined forces to imitate it.
The bravery of the Wu family also suffers a lot in the face of iron cannons, so please be careful, Lord Nobuyoshi."
Sanada Nobunaga touched his chin and said.
"It seems to make sense. When the Royal Platform was in Yuezhong, it seemed that the iron cannons were also tossing it.
I haven't seen this thing before, show it to me."
Kenjuzo took an iron cannon from his back and presented it to Sanada Nobunaga with both hands.
Sanada Nobushige looked at this long coiled iron with curiosity, squinted his eyes and looked in from the launch port, and asked.
"Is this thing expensive?"
"About thirty sticks per stick."
Sanada Nobushige could hardly hold it, almost dropped the cannon to the ground and shouted.
"So expensive? Two iron cannons combined are more expensive than war horses!"
Jijuzang replied.
“The price of Tanegashima Iron Cannon was one hundred guan at first, but now it has been gradually reduced to 30 guan.
It is said that the art of iron cannon has spread to Owari. As the technology spreads and skilled workers increase, the price of iron cannon will continue to fall.
However, consumables such as gunpowder and projectiles are also expensive."
Sanada Nobushige casually threw the iron cannon back to Kejuzo and said.
“It’s so expensive!”
Yukiyuki Sanada interrupted them with a smile.
"You can talk to Jianjuzang slowly later, and let her teach you how to use it.
It's getting late, I should go."
Sanada Nobushige bowed towards Sanada Yukiyuki and said solemnly.
"Sister, take care of yourself all the way and say hello to my grandmother and mother for me."
Yukiyuki Sanada bowed in return, then mounted his horse and left with his flag book.
Sanada Nobunaga watched her figure disappear on the road, then smiled and said to his subordinates.
"Let's go, there are still many things waiting for us to do."
"Hi!"
When all the Hime warriors returned to the city, Umino Riichi grabbed Sanada Nobushige, took her aside and whispered.
