A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 598 4. The trade back to the north became dirty

It would be fun if Kenshin Uesugi became Nagano Yashimai's father. Nagano Yashimai was the brother-in-law of half a Ueno military commander, which meant that Uesugi Kenshin had won over almost all the samurai in Nishi Ueno at once.

Everyone may be dissatisfied with the young boy Nagano Yashimai, but Uesugi Kenshin is still convinced. Although Kenshin Uesugi also lost battles and many people died. But these days, no one has ever been defeated or lost.

Not only was Nagano Yashimai's position firmly established, Uesugi Kenshin's influence in Nishi Ueno was also greatly expanded. The Nagano clan, which was originally just a vassal to the daimyo, also began to show a tendency to become a vassal.

The moment Nagano Yamori relied on Uesugi Kenshin to help him stabilize his territory, he lost a considerable part of his autonomy.

When the news came, the Yamauchi family naturally just congratulated him. It was unexpected that Ofune married Nagano Yamori. Looking at Higuchi Yuroku who was polishing his ink next to him, Kodaira really wanted to say something to him.

Your wife is gone!

What to do when it comes to Naoe Keizuna? When the eldest daughter marries Shidaoyoshi, the younger daughter marries Nagano Yamori. I don’t know how to solve a family fortune as big as the Itaki Naoe clan.

But then I thought about it, Nagano Kenye and Nagano Yamasa, father and son, are both in great health! Lian Satomi Yoshiyao is the brother-in-law of Nagano Yamasa, and Narita Nagatada is the son-in-law of Nagano Yamasa. This fertility should be guaranteed.

Maybe Nagano Ye Shengqing is better than his master, and with continued efforts, the twelve sons-in-laws in Nishi Ueno can expand into eighteen sons-in-law or even twenty-four sons-in-law.

Now Nagano Yashimai has become Uesugi Kenshin's son-in-law. I wonder if Uesugi Kenshin will have any strange thoughts if something unexpected happens to Uesugi Kenshin.

This is not because Xiaoping thinks too much, he just has doubts.

After defeating Takeda, I thought I would be able to take a breather, but instead the world was heading towards chaos. There are more and more complicated things, and it is impossible to deal with them all.

Uncle Tsunato from Kyoto also wrote back to Yamauchi on time. First, he said that according to his seniority, he was officially promoted to the third rank of Zhongnanagon, and he also served as Lieutenant General Sakonoe. His life was considered complete, and he did not dare to think about a higher position.

Next, there were several changes in the imperial court. Prince Seihito, the son of the Emperor Masachikamachi, received good news (Emperor Kokoin Taijo), and his wife, Haruo Haruji's daughter, Haruko Haruji (New Kami Hōmonin) Pregnant with a child.

The one who is still in the mother's womb is the future Emperor Goyōsei. Of course, no one except Koheita realizes this. Everyone is just happy that Prince Chenghi, the heir to the throne, may give birth to an heir, and the succession to the throne is safe.

The well-known chapter of "Yonglu Great Rebellion" was overturned. With the promotion of the imperial court and the shogunate, the year was changed to the first year of Yuangui and announced to the world.

As a congratulation, Oda Nobunaga pinched his nose and presented Shigarakusou of Omi Province (originally photographed by Seki family leader) to the forbidden area, and Tsuruen Manor of Izumi Province to the shogunate.

Although the manor in Minami Ise has no mention at all, these two large manors established since the Heian period have also been quite profitable for the imperial court and the shogunate.

The last thing is a trivial matter. The price of northern goods in Kyoto has increased by about 5%.

The so-called northern goods are goods brought back from the northern return ships departing from Wakasa-Ohama and Echizen Tsuruga from the distant Oshu Ushu, Echichu Echigo, and even Ezo.

This aroused Xiao Pingtai's doubts, because this trade route is a relatively mature route. Every link fits properly, and the outstretched hands on each joint have formed a regular pattern.

Similar to Uesugi Kenshin's green ramie exported from Kashiwazaki, how can there be a tax collection method. When goods from the North entered Kyoto, the shogunate and the public granted monopoly rights to dealers, and what kind of profit sharing was there.

Everything has been running stably for a long time. How come there was a sudden overall price increase for Northern goods when there was no large-scale war in Kyoto?

Xiao Pingtai understood the reason for the price increase of Beibei goods after just a little research.

Asakura Yoshikage, the prefect of Echizen, attacked Wakasa in the name of his identity as a member of the Wakasa Takeda clan and as Takeda Motoaki, the son of Takeda Yoshitoshi, the guardian of Wakasa, and was a great success.

Because Takeda Motoaki was unable to unite his retainers to fight against the enemy, the Asakura army easily approached Takeda Motoaki's residence. To this end, Takeda Motoaki asked for reinforcements from the Tango Isshiki family to fight the war in the area around Shoganji Temple, but This futile resistance to the Asakura family's large-scale attack was quickly destroyed, and the residence was captured in an instant.

The helpless Takeda Motoaki turned to Kaiseyama Castle and organized a defensive battle again, but still failed and was captured alive by the Asakura army. At the same time, the retainer Kuriya Katsuhisa relied on Kuniyoshi Castle to resist the Asakura army, and Yoshimi Masakune also combined with Nishiwakasa's naval power.

After the capture of Wakasa, Takeda Motoaki, his wife, and their son and daughter were also properly protected and sent to the Asakura family's main castle, Ichijodani Castle, and became the "guests" of Asakura Yoshikage.

Kohama Port, the center of the northern shipping trade, fell into the hands of Asakura Yoshikage!

There is no doubt that Asakura Yoshikage established a new station here and increased the ship mark and customs fees that every northbound ship should pay. This is also the most important reason for the overall price increase of Beihuo.

The lives of the people in Kyoto were naturally affected to a certain extent, but in fact the one who had a greater impact was Oda Nobunaga!

Because Obama enters Lake Biwa through the canal and sails directly to Otsu, the most important port on the southern shore of the lake!

So Oda Nobunaga, who served as the envoy of Otsu, controlled Otsu, and used the money that Otsu continuously sent to fight in all directions, found that the commercial tax revenue of Otsu Town, which was originally relatively stable, had considerable fluctuations.

This naturally had a huge impact on Oda Nobunaga, who was eager to split a penny into two flowers during the war.

After learning that Asakura Yoshikage controlled Obama and affected the trade on the entire trade road, what do you think Oda Nobunaga's attitude towards Asakura Yoshikage was?

Destroy people's wealth and kill their parents!

Previously, Oda Nobunaga invited Asakura Yoshikage to come to Luo, but this person did not come. After Oda Nobunaga succeeded in going to Luo, he asked Asakura Yoshikage to come to the capital to pay a visit to Ashikaga Yoshiaki (actually also to pay a visit to Oda Nobunaga), but this person still did not come.

It’s really shameless!

Although both families started their careers as acting officials for the Sibo family, and both kicked the Sibo family away one after another, they had a close relationship. But at this time, Asakura Yoshikage became a stumbling block for Oda Nobunaga.

In particular, this stumbling block also damaged Oda Nobunaga's wallet, which made Oda Nobunaga even more uncomfortable.

For a behemoth like the Asakura family, it is naturally impossible for the Wakasa people headed by Kuriya Katsuhisa and Itami Masakune to compete alone. They need to find a strong supporter to help them.

The strongest person in Kinai, apart from Oda Nobunaga, is there anyone more powerful?
