"Master Governor, please leave here quickly!" Yasuda Yumasa ran in anxiously and furiously. As soon as he saw Shimazu Mitsuhisa, he kept saying: "The Ming army entered the city in large numbers, and Tadayaro-sama is dead. Master Governor
, please leave here immediately."
His brother's deep thoughts did not make Shimazu Mitsuhisa feel sad. It seemed that all this had been expected by him.
"Yasuda, come with me." Shimazu Mitsuhisa took him to another room.
Here, Yasuda Yumasa was surprised to see hundreds of samurai gathering here. These people were from various kendo schools who had rushed to Tsurumaru Castle to help in the battle:
Each of them sat there holding a samurai sword, with a white headband tied on their head. No one said anything, they just sat quietly...
"Mr. Yasuda, do you know why they are here?"
After Shimazu Mitsuhisa asked, he did not ask Yasuda Yumasa to answer, but answered the question himself: "Because, they want to avenge Master Miyamoto, and they want to be with Tsurumaru Castle!"
"Understood, Lord Governor." Yasuda Yumasa knew that at this point, there was nothing more that could be persuaded, and he even knew that Lord Governor was already ready...
"Mr. Yasuda, come with me." Shimazu Mitsuhisa suddenly said.
Returning to his room with Shimazu Mitsuhisa, Shimazu Mitsuhisa burned tea and said: "Mr. Yasuda, Oda Nobunaga, and Takeda Shingen's struggle for hegemony, do you know?"
Yasuda Yumasa was startled for a moment, then nodded.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa was silent for a moment and said: "During the Warring States Period, Kai Country was rich in gold. It was the location of Japan's rare and largest gold vein. At that time, Kai Country was the territory of the Takeda Shingen family of the great baker, a place rich in gold.
Coupled with the military strategist Takeda Shingen who was well versed in the secrets of Sun Tzu's art of war, the Takeda family soon developed into a great name that dominated the country. The Takeda family's cavalry regiment even defeated Oda Nobunaga and later Oda Nobunaga, the overlord who controlled the Kinki area at the time.
The coalition forces of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first general of the Edo shogunate to conquer barbarians, were regarded by Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the last general of the Muromachi shogunate, as the only person who could overthrow Nobunaga's autocratic power. Unfortunately, Takeda Shingen, who was in his prime, died of tuberculosis. Takeda
The family’s dream of going to Luo and conquering the world was shattered..."
Yasuda Yumasa didn't know why he said this. He just heard Shimazu Mitsuhisa continue:
"Unlike Oda Nobunaga's rapid expansion strategy of domination, Takeda Shingen takes a steady and steady route. Although the Takeda family's expansion speed is not as fast as that of the Oda family, Takeda Shingen will carefully manage every territory he acquires before making further moves.
Therefore, Takeda Shingen has three reputations as a military strategist, strategist, and domestic politician. Although the Takeda family declined after Shingen's death, the legend surrounding Shingen's treasure has always been heard..."
When the word "treasure" fell into his ears, Yasuda Yumasa's heart beat rapidly.
Almost everyone in Japan knows the legend of Takeda Shingen's treasure, but now the family governor suddenly asked, does he know everything about the treasure?
Yasuda Yumasa didn't dare to ask, Shimazu Mitsuhisa said slowly;
"Takeda Shingen's eldest son Yoshinobu was imprisoned for treason and opposing the attack on the Imagawa family, and then committed suicide. The Takeda family immediately faced the problem of appointing a successor. Takeda Shingen, a talented and resourceful man, knew that his second son Katsuyori was brave and foolhardy, had a bad temper, and could not continue his great cause, so he
His grandson Nobukatsu was designated as the heir, and Katsuyori Nobukatsu's father Katsuyori was assisted by the regent. This was a famous "generation-skipping designation" event in the Warring States Period. "Katsuyori-skipping designation" fully demonstrated Takeda Shingen's ability to know people and his ability to break the legacy of his father.
Inheritance system. Unfortunately, Katsuyori completely destroyed the Takeda family business before trusting the true heir, Nobukatsu Adult, to take power. This was something Shingen did not expect..."
Speaking of this, Shimazu Mitsuhisa sighed:
"Why did Takeda Shingen, who was so smart, not anticipate Takeda Katsuyori's defeat of the Takeda family? Because although Shingen died young, he had left a heavy legacy to Katsuyori and Nobukatsu before his death. If it had not been for Katsuyori,
With such incompetence at this point, the Takeda family will continue to be the strongest copper wall to the east of Oda Nobunaga. What legacy does Shingen leave to his son and grandson? In fact, everyone knows that Shingen’s legacy has three parts: First, the four Takeda
The outstanding retainers regiment led by the famous ministers Baba Nobuka, Naito Masayo, Yamagata Masakei, and Kosaka Masanobu and the Takeda Cavalry Corps, which was the most powerful at the time, were the human legacy left by Shingen to his descendants; the second one was centered on Koshu
The rich national resources mainly include gold mines and horses. This is the national power legacy that Shingen left to his descendants. The third is the legendary 'secret military gold' that Takeda Shingen left to his descendants, which is Takeda Shingen's treasure.
....”
All Yasuda Yumasa's attention was attracted by Shimazu Mitsuhisa's words."
"The legendary treasure of Takeda Shingen is the 'secret military gold' left by Takeda Shingen to his descendants. It was not in the official treasury of the Takeda family at that time, but was buried in various places in Kai Kingdom in the form of secret treasures. Because of the Kai gold mine
It is rich in gold, and Takeda Shingen has a gold mining group called "Kanayama Public" specializing in gold vein mining. The abundant gold output made Takeda Shingen the first person in Japan to mint gold coins. The huge gold output and Takeda Shingen
Many years of operation... It is said that Takeda Shingen's treasure is mainly gold, which is a huge military expenditure that can bring the Takeda family back to life. It is a secret military expenditure that Takeda Shingen left to his grandson to dominate the world. Unfortunately, Takeda is completely incompetent.
Katsuyori didn't even have the ability to keep his son safe. With the demise of the Takeda family, Takeda Shingen's treasure will be buried underground forever..."
"But where is this treasure?" Yasuda Yumasa finally couldn't help but ask.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa said slowly:
"Where is Takeda Shingen's treasure buried? From the day the Takeda family fell, people have never given up searching. Kai Country is not large in area but has many mountains. It is a famous mountain country. In which mountain did Shingen hide his treasure? But
There are different opinions. Although many people have tried to dig out Shingen's treasure, due to limited mining capabilities and the fact that no one knows the exact location of Shingen's treasure, this treasure has always been just a legend... A convincing treasure
The burial place is Kurokawa Gold Mountain. It is said that a couple once discovered a treasure here. However, their story is the same as many secret treasure legends. The couple ended up being plotted and died tragically. The tragic death of the couple makes people wonder whether there is a secret treasure.
A mysterious organization has been secretly guarding this legendary treasure?"
Yasuda Yuma heard this with horror. While he was continuing to ask about the treasure, Shimazu Mitsuhisa suddenly asked: "Which battle was it that caused the Takeda family to suffer a disastrous defeat?"
"Of course it's the Battle of Nagashino." Yasuda Yumasa was too busy thinking.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa nodded: "Yes, this battle is the beginning of the Takeda family's downfall..."
In May of the third year of Japan's Tensho period, Takeda Katsuyori surrounded Tokugawa Ieyasu's son-in-law, Okuhira Nobunaga, Nagashino Castle. Nagashino Castle only had 500 defenders at the time. Tokugawa Ieyasu asked for help from his ally Oda Nobunaga. May 18
, Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements arrived and joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu.
After Takeda Katsuyori learned that Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga's reinforcements had arrived, he gave up the siege of Nagashino Castle and continued to march towards Kiyoi Tahara. His intention was to let the enemy move with him. This way he could exert his full power. He showed the strengths of his cavalry. But he neglected his rear. After Oda Nobunaga learned that Takeda Katsuyori continued to advance, he ordered his generals to seize the Tobichao Mountain Stronghold. In this way, Takeda Katsuyori's retreat was cut off. To ensure his retreat, he had to turn around and fight Oda Nobunaga in front of Oda Nobunaga's camp. When he found that Oda Nobunaga's camp was located in a depression, he decided to use cavalry to charge from a high place. He came down and tried to break through Oda Nobunaga's formation in one fell swoop.
On the morning of May 21, when Takeda Katsuyori's cavalry rushed to Oda Nobunaga's camp, they were blocked by the horse guard fence. At this time, Oda Nobunaga's musketeers began to fire. The muskets were more powerful than bows and arrows. The long range also frightened the horses. After three rows of guns were fired, Takeda Katsuyori's cavalry was either shot to death or trampled to death by the horses, or the horses lost control and there was chaos. The elite cavalry operated by the Takeda family for generations - — Chibei was completely defeated.
After the first wave of the Takeda Army's offensive was blocked by the anti-horse fence, it was baptized by iron artillery and suffered considerable damage. However, as time passed, the firepower of the iron artillery attack was no longer available, so the anti-horse fence became a white war.
The second wave of the Takeda Army's offensive was not as active as the first wave. The coalition forces took the initiative to jump out of the horse fence several times to fight against the Takeda Army, but they were all repelled. Xin Lian pursued them to the second horse fence and was repelled.
The Takeda Army's offensive gradually became more intense and the red troops were deployed. The third wave of attacks broke through the third defensive horse fence and approached Nobunaga's main formation. However, the commander of the third wave, Nobuzada Kobata, died in the battle.
Then the Takeda Army sent a fourth wave of assaults to break through the gaps in the first wave. Oda Nobunaga's infantry defended the front, and after a hard-fought fierce battle, they finally repelled the four waves.
The fifth wave of Baba Nobbo's team detoured to the left wing of the coalition forces as early as the third wave of attacks, and then entered the fence to attack the Sakuma team, Hashiba team, and Takikawa team immediately mobilized to attack the Baba Nobbo team. The Takeda army Finally showing a disadvantage and retreating, the Oda Tokugawa Allied Forces began to pursue.
This was the beginning of the defeat of the elite Takeda family and their demise.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa said in a daze: "At that time, the Mochizuki clan was a wealthy family in Shinshu, one of the three Shino families. It was the same clan as the leaders of the fifty-three Koka families. It was based in Kitasaku County and was subordinate to Takeda Shingen. It was Takeda Shingen who was the most powerful. Among them was the famous female ninja Chiyoko. She was a descendant of the Mochizuki family. Her husband, Mochizuki Moritoki, was Takeda Shingen's nephew and married into the Mochizuki family. Mochizuki Moritoki died in the battle of Nagashino, so as to avoid It was cut off, and Takeda Shingen's nephew Nobuya inherited the Mochizuki family business..."
During the Warring States Period in Japan, a large number of orphans were created due to the war. The Takeda family selected beautiful girls among them and trained them to be wandering wandering girls called "歩きMiko" who performed dances in various places and devoted themselves to men from time to time. Miko no Miko has no national boundaries and can be found anywhere in the country. Being able to come and go freely, singing and dancing back and forth from Kanto to Kinai, and prostitutes from time to time to collect all kinds of information, and then report them to Shingen one by one through the contact person. In fact, she is a female ninja who collects information for the Takeda family.
Takeda Shingen entrusted the task of raising female ninjas to Chiyome Mochizuki and gave her the position of "Chief of the Miko of Kai-Shinano and the Second Kingdom". So Chiyome Mochizuki opened the "Kai-Shinano Miko Path" at the ancient palace in Mizu Village, Komei County, Shinshu. "In the training dojo, there are more than 200-300 girls learning magic, prayer, ninjutsu, self-protection, and sexual techniques to seduce the opponent when the opponent is male.
Yasuda Yumasa didn't know why the Governor suddenly mentioned Chiyoda. Shimazu Mitsuhisa said at this time: "The legend of the Takeda Treasure is true, and Chiyoko is one of the people responsible for guarding the treasure..."
When he heard this, Yasuda Yumasa was shocked.
Although he had already confirmed this when Shimazu Mitsuhisa started talking about treasures, when it actually came from Shimazu Mitsuhisa's mouth, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa gritted his teeth and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "I know where the treasure is; I know who protects the treasure; I also know how many people are guarding the treasure..."
He glanced at Yasuda Yumasa: "Originally, this is the secret of our Shimazu family, and only the family governor can know it. But now that the Ming army has entered Tsurumaru Castle in large numbers, the matter has become very urgent. I have decided to work with Tsurumaru Castle.
Life and death. My children have been brought out by Mr. Oiwa, but the whereabouts of the Takeda treasure must not be lost just like this!"
Yasuda Yumasa's heart was beating fast. Shimazu Mitsuhisa's following words were exactly the same as his thoughts:
"Mr. Yasuda, you are the person I trust most. If Bin Xing wants to avenge me and revitalize our Shimazu family, he will definitely be unable to lack the help of this treasure. Now, I want to tell you all about the whereabouts of this treasure.
, when I have the strength, I will snatch this treasure back from the hands of those guardians and use it for my Shimazu family!"
"Master Governor!" Yasuda Yumasa said loudly: "How dare I bear such a heavy responsibility."
"You can, you can, and you must do it." Shimazu Mitsuhisa said seriously: "No matter how difficult it is, please keep this secret. The reason why I didn't tell Bin Xing was because I was afraid that he was too young.
, I can’t wait for that. Mr. Yasuda, please take this responsibility."
Yasuda Yuzheng was silent for a long time, and then he knelt down on the ground:
"The Governor trusts me so much, that's all I can do. Please rest assured, Lord Governor, no matter how difficult it is, even if it costs me my life, I will definitely tell Binxing the whereabouts of the treasure!" ^-^
