Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 497: Maori family messenger

Wakasa Country, Tase Mountain Castle.

Near the seashore, seabirds glide low above the sea, making creaking sounds.

A Clark galleon, under the **** of two fast ships, headed towards Obama.

This western-style Clark sailing ship is naturally the craftsmanship that Li Xiao learned from the Flange robot.

As the highest specification ship building.

In the past three years, the first ship has been launched and put into use, this year the second ship is about to be launched again, and the remaining three ships are still being built in the dock.

This first Clark was used as the ship of Li Jiajia Supervisor and was named "Shuishui".

It was named Sheshui because of the choice of the shipbuilding site in Sheshui County, China.

Now this Clark galleon named "Shuishui" is riding the wind and waves, plowing a white mark on the tumbling sea.

The sailors on the ship were following the orders from the bow, constantly twisting the ropes and operating the sails.

And this Clark galleon, which was supposed to serve as the governor's seat ship, is now not on board Li Zheng, the head of the Li family, but the old man, Duo Zhengxin.

Now Masanobu Honda has his hands behind him, and his brows are frowned when he looks at Mount Tase, which is getting closer and closer.

After the big sailboat entered the harbor of Obama, a guide boat came to pilot it.

And seeing the arrival of the Patriarch’s ship, although he knew that Li Zheng was not on board, the one who could sit on a ship of this size must be the important minister of the family.

Therefore, at the pier, the navy generals such as Mukai Masazu, Chiga Sunhei, and the newly appointed Takashi Taseyama Castle, the newly appointed Masato Muto, naturally greeted them in the sea breeze.

Because the draft was too deep, the Sheshui could not be moored at Matou, so a sampan was lowered from the boat and drove to the dock.

When Masashin Honda set foot on the land, he recognized his identity as Masatsuna Mukai, and Chiga Sun Bingwei stepped forward to meet him.

As the elder of the family and Li Xiao’s chief staff, Masanobu is also in charge of diplomacy, so Mukai Masazu and Chiga Sun Bingwei dare not neglect.

Bendo had his usual unsmiling expression on his face.

Bendo believes that this person is very talented himself. He was dormant in Sanhe before, and after he came to Hida, he showed his skills under Li Xiao and climbed to the position of family elder.

Therefore, Ben Duo Zhengxin has always been an honest attitude to his family, except for Li Xiao and Li Zheng, and other colleagues, so the popularity is not very good.

(In fact, the historical Tokugawa clan is also the same. The arbitrary retainers appraised it as treacherous ministers, and even the relationship between the same clan is a mess. Only Tokugawa Ieyasu appreciates it and obeys it.)

Masanobu Honda glanced at Mukai and slightly nodded. It's been ten days since the town of Obama was captured. Now everything is restored to commerce and trade. There are clear barriers on both sides of the fishermen's fishing boats at the pier next door and the cargo ships unloaded by merchants.

Not far away, in Yuezhong, the ships of the Noto Navy were patrolling in the harbor, and they did not commit any crimes.

It can be seen that Mukai and the other two managed the port and town in a very good manner and maintained order. They did not dispel the concerns of nearby businesses and reopened trade with the Takeda family.

Although Masanobu Honda said that he was here at Taseyama Castle and was in charge of other important tasks, he was also ordered by Li Zheng to make an assessment here to see how much strength is needed to defend Taseyama Castle and resist the Shibata Army's counterattack.

But at the moment Mukai and both of them are doing well, and they are obviously suitable to take on the role.

After seeing this, Bendo Masahiro was satisfied, but he only commented on the two people's mouth.

But even so, Mukai and Chiga, who understand Honda's true faith, can only be described as grateful.

I look forward to Bendo Zhengxin's words for them in front of Li.

No way, they were born as water pirates and had no family background, so their retainers were very unwelcome to them.

So far, he hasn't got rid of the title of **** enough general level, and has moved closer to the general level of attendant. They hope that one day they will be able to obtain a place of knowledge and action by virtue of their military exploits, and even fulfill their dream of being a pirate.

Knowing the land can be passed down to the family business and the most powerful way for descendants to prosper for generations. Even in the Hida Yuezhong Army Corps, which has built more than 600,000 stones for the master's family, there are only a dozen people who have won this honor.

Afterwards, Masanobu Honda, accompanied by Muto Yukichi, walked towards Tase Mountain Castle.

According to Honda Masanobu’s assessment, this Tase Mountain Castle is not inferior to Nanao Castle if it is built a little more. If it is supported by sea ships and has enough troops and rations, it should be able to support Shibata. An offensive of more than 10,000 corps.

Unless the Oda Army has the ability to seal off this area of ​​water, the Oda family navy will have to pass the Seto Inland Sea.

According to Masanobu Honda, last year, the navy general of the Oda family, Yoshitaka Kuki, was defeated by the Maori navy who supported Honganji in the battle of the Kizu River mouth in the Seto Inland Sea.

Therefore, the navy of the Oda family is not a concern for the time being.

After watching the defense of Mount Tase with satisfaction, Honda Masahiro decided to report back to Li Zheng, so he could strengthen his investment here and amend his view of insufficient defense here.

Of course, this is also the decision of Li Xiao to write to him.

After evaluating everything, Honda Masanobu turned around and asked Muto Yukichi, "Where is the messenger of the Maori family? Is it in the city."

Muto Yui, one of the four elders of Wakasa Takeda, is now under the fence, facing questions like a subordinate instructed by Masanobu Honda.

He also lowered his head and replied: "Yes, because he was afraid of leaking the news, he didn't dare to arrange in the castle town, so he rested in the castle tower."

Bendo Nodded with satisfaction and said: "Take me to see him immediately."

Meeting with the messenger of the Maori family, this is the biggest purpose of this trip.

When Masayoshi Honda stepped into the third floor of the castle tower, he saw a man dressed as a monk sitting in the middle of the room.

As soon as the other party saw Ponto stepping in, he smiled and said, "This is Lord Ponto. Even a poor monk in the West has heard of your resourcefulness."

Bendo Masahiro frowned slightly at such flattery, sat down in front of this person, and said, "Yes, it is Masahiro Bendo underneath. I don't know what the master would call him?"

The other party immediately saluted and said: "The abbot of the Fudoyuan of Anyun Anguo Temple, a poor monk, Yun Qiong, I have seen Lord Bendo."

"Master Hui Qiong?" Bendo Zhengxin smiled when he heard the other's name. He turned out to be a diplomat of the Maori family.

Huiqiong of Anguo City is also a legend in his life. He comes from the lineage of Anyun Takeda, and he was first class in Kai Takeda. At that time, Jiafei Takeda's family superintendent was also An Yun, who was guarded by Kai. Later, he separated and was guarded by An Yun.

After Anyun Takeda, he separated another branch from Wakasa Takeda.

Therefore, An Yun Takeda and Kai Takeda, and Wakasa Takeda are also of the same family.

An Yun Takeda, who was originally the guardian of An Yun, was later demoted to the guardian generation, and has always been the leader of An Yun's name.

However, after the Takeda family civil strife, the Maori family of Anyun people rose up.

The grandfather of Huiqiong of Anguo Temple, known as Xiang Yu from the West, An Yun Takeda's family superintendent, Takeda Motoshige, and his father, Takeda Nobushige, all died in the raiders of Maori Genjo.

It stands to reason that Huiqiong of Anguo Temple is different from the Maori family, but this person is loyal and willing to serve the Maori family, which is also a surprising thing.

Previously, Anguoji Keiqiong negotiated with Nobunaga about the Maori, the Otomo family's peace, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki's being chased up, and then persuaded Ashikaga Yoshiaki to go to the Maori family. All of these things have made great contributions. The Maori family has won the reputation of being eloquent.

Therefore, this person is not the same as the diplomatic monk of Changzong's family. They are two famous diplomatic monks in the West, and they are known as the owners of a pair of workshops.

However, this time this person personally came to Tase Mountain Castle, obviously on behalf of the Maori family superintendent Maori Terumoto, and he had important matters to negotiate with his family.

Thinking of this, Honda Zhengxin looked calmly, pulled out the folding fan around his waist, and shook it gently on his chest, while waiting for the other party's intentions.

After Anguo Temple Huiqiong talked with Masanobu Honda for a while, he finally took the initiative to say: "An Yun Youmatou (that is, Terumoto Moori) heard that the Takeda family sent troops to Wakasa, and it is very unclear after the separation of the family. We must know that although Wakasa’s family governor is Motoaki Takeda, Wakasa has been in the hands of the Oda family for a long time, and Wakasa Takeda has long since been in this power, and there is no way to mention the restoration of the family’s name."

"Before the Kizu River spit battle, Honganji, in order to ask the family to send naval forces to reinforce it, proposed to acquiesce in the fact that the family would infiltrate Wakasa, Tango, but the horses are a few countries, so the family only sent troops to Wakasa, An Yunyou Matou felt very strange, so he trusted. Let me ask, I don’t know what your Patriarch intended?"

The words of Angukuji Huiqiong sounded extremely irrational to Hondo Mashinbu. In summary, my Maori family has regarded Wakasa, Tango, but Ma as a place to be captured in the future. You Takeda family intervened, what is it? meaning.

Bendo Zhengxin rebuked: "Master Huiqiong, is the Hongan Temple the guardian of these three kingdoms? Actually handed someone else's land to a Maori family, so that the conditions were exchanged for a soldier and also agreed, so isn't An Yun's right horse head too naive? ?"

Anguo Temple Huiqiong heard that Ponto was insulting and the owner of the family, and said angrily: "Master Bendo, please be careful. The power of the Lee family ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ lies in Hokuriku, but as long as it is not opened for one day, Kinki You have no influence."

"Your Excellency can't rely on the navy for occupying Tase Mountain Castle. If you turn your face, then you think my Maori navy is better than the Takeda navy?"

Honda Masanobu squinted his eyes, and said in his heart that this Ankoku Temple Huiqiong is indeed very powerful, and he immediately grasped the situation of the Takeda family in Wakasa country. Without the support of the navy, no matter how much troops are invested, it is impossible to establish a foothold in Wakasa country. .

The self-confidence of Anguo Temple Huiqiong came from the strength of the Murakami navy, the strongest in the Warring States period.

Anguo Temple Huiqiong's words changed at this time, and when he was aggressive, he said: "Sir Bendo is not threatening. It is not a big deal to An Yun's right horse head area. If the Takeda family wants to take it, it is nothing. Even under the attack of the Oda family, the navy can provide some help."

"Zixia just feels that the misunderstanding in this matter is due to the lack of communication between the two companies. If the relationship can be closer to each other, then these misunderstandings will not exist. Lord Bendo, what do you think?"
