Pillars of the Wu family

Narita Choyasu of North Musashi surrendered again, and Ota Susumasa of South Musashi surrendered. Although both surrendered, they were slightly different. The Narita family surrendered voluntarily when they saw that the limelight was not right, and the Ota family had to surrender because they were surrounded by the Hojo army. But one thing is the same, both of them just wait and see and they didn't really take effect. They may raise the flag of rebellion and continue to rebel against the Hojo family. The leader couldn't make any waves.

Uesugi Kensei, who is hiding in Ueno Hirai Castle, has had a bad life. Since he was almost killed last time playing soy sauce, he has been huddled at the back of the team and ready to run away at any time. He went to the banquet to offer meritorious service. He was so frightened that he was still jumping wildly, and ran back to Hirai City with oil on the soles of his feet.

The attitude of the people of Nishi Ueno towards Uesugi's constitutional government is getting worse and worse. He obviously did nothing as the leader of the Kanto, but he still has to face a bunch of former retainers who treat him coldly, and even lack the previous respectful attitude. This makes him unbearable. Ah, he really wanted to call these guys over and ask them what he did to make these people so disrespectful, but he didn't dare, because the power in his hands was only a few hundred people, so he couldn't hold it One Hirai City is a problem, so how dare you go to those people from the country.

Although the Ueno country did not fall into civil strife like other countries, the defeat of Kita Musashi still dampened their enthusiasm, especially the failure of Uesugi's constitutional government. Since the beginning of the war, the ugly performances made many Ueno people feel ashamed, so they returned to Ueno After the country, many Chinese people cut off contact with Uesugi Constitutional Government and devoted themselves to developing their own territory.

Different from the stalemate situation in Kanto, Takeda Harunobu began to build the Mizuzaki Pavilion at the beginning of this year. This is very confusing to Murakami Yoshiki, and let the general of Kita Shinano lead the army to attack around the small prefecture. Panicked, just as the situation on both sides reversed, the new retainer of the Takeda family, Sanada Yutaka, suddenly became active.

He used his identity to get in touch with the local people of Sanada Township, and then quietly contacted the internal response in Stone Stone Castle, who was also his brother Yazawa Yotsuna. On May 26, Yazawa Yorimatsuna quietly opened the gate of Stone Stone Castle, and Sanada Yukitaka He only led more than a hundred troops to enter Stone Stone Castle in the dark, and took the opportunity to capture Hushi Castle behind Stone Stone Castle. As a result, the situation in the entire North Shinano changed.

Because of the fall of Huishi Castle, the Murakami family's dominance over the small county was shaken, and it directly affected his old nest, Nanke County and Gengji County. The advantage that Yoshiki Murakami had just regained completely disappeared, and he had to fall into a disadvantage.

In fact, Sanada Yutaka had already joined the army before the collapse of the stone, but Takeda Harunobu didn't pay much attention to him as a new member of Shinano, but just threw him in the crowd of the people who took refuge in him and let him serve as cannon fodder. Later performance also proved him He didn't seem to have a miraculous performance on the battlefield, but he didn't do nothing. For example, the reason why Murakami Yoshiki ran to fight with Takanashi Masahiro before the stone collapsed was related to him.

It turned out that Yukitaka Sanada got through Takanashi Masarai's relationship somehow, concluded a marriage contract with him, and let his eldest son Genta marry Takanashi Masarai's daughter Kita Yo. As long as you don't meet a strict ruler or a complete division of the country, it doesn't matter. For example, the retainers of the Liujiao family extended their power to Northern Ise, and Liujiao Dinglai didn't say anything.

Moreover, this kind of marriage is just a private matter between the Sanada family and the Takanashi family. No one knows about it except the parties involved and a few retainers, but this matter has just spread to the ears of Murakami Yoshiki, and I don't know what version it was passed on. Anyway, in a rage, Murakami Yoshiki brought his troops to Takanashi's Nakano Kokan, and the two sides began to fight. It is precisely because of this that Takeda Harunobu just returned from Kanto, and when he received the information, he brought his soldiers and horses He rushed to Beixinano in a hurry, but suffered a big defeat there.

Takeda Harunobu was very excited because of Sanada Yutaka's reason, and the people of Shinano country began to panic. Even Yoshiki Murakami couldn't sit still, but before he started to act, Sanada Yutaka He started his strategy campaign again, and successively brought in Murakami's family members Yadai and Ishikawa. Since then, Murakami Yoshiki has no ability to recapture Hushicheng, and can only be busy eliminating the civil strife in the territory.

The Takeda family won the initial victory, and the Imagawa family did well. Imagawa Yoshimoto did not continue to attack the Owari country, but took advantage of the opportunity of the two allies to cope with the war to cultivate and thrive. Exhausted, last year he gained a lot of prestige in Kanto. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Oda family was unable to resist, they incorporated the unstable Mikawa Kingdom and established Junyuan San's new system has become the top priority at the moment.

Yoshimoto Imagawa started to take the third inspection of Junyuan, which was a signal to attack the disobedient Chinese under his command, especially some disobedient Chinese in Yuanjiang were given special attention, and he wanted to take this opportunity to sort out his own Prestige can only then be carried out to conduct a comprehensive land inspection and take this opportunity to establish a master-slave relationship.

Of course, the Sanhe Kingdom cannot move for the time being, and the incorporation action that has just surrendered must be done slowly, and the carrot can be given first to show the big stick. This is true for Yuanjiang Country, and it will be the same for Sanhe Country. However, in order to show the friendly relationship with the Mikawa Kingdom, Imagawa Yoshimoto also married his own daughter to Kira Yoshian of Mikawa Kira's family.

This will ensure the stability of the main body of Mikawa, and the people of Mikawa, including those belonging to the Kira family, will also lose the name of rebellion. Without the support of the name, the flag of the fallen Oda family will not be able to make waves. The Imagawa family took this opportunity to successfully control Mikawa. The situation is just that the use value of Matsudaira Takechiyo is greatly reduced in this way, Imakawa Yoshimoto doesn't care much about this child of the Matsudaira family, and just throws it to his master Taiyuan Xuezhai and doesn't bother.

With the money houses in Sakamoto, Sakai, and Kyoto in good condition, the gold, silver, and copper exchange plan was started immediately. Under the influence of the two transactions of the Agot Chamber of Commerce, all the money and goods stored in the Kyoto and Sakamoto money houses were forcibly exchanged, causing the money houses to face the embarrassing situation of having no money for several days in a row.

Motomasa Yanagisawa, the executive of the Kyoto Qianya, kept complaining that the smoking was too hard, but what could he do? The business between the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce and the Wufeng Chamber of Commerce is a rare opportunity. If you don’t make a fortune, you will definitely be sorry for yourself. Since the establishment of the Qianya to monopolize Kyoto , Sakamoto Town, since the Yongle coins were exchanged, the income of Kira's family has been rising steadily. Now, with the completion of Hongwu and Yongle's big coin carving mothers one after another, he has a steady stream of Yongle coins in his hands, which gave him the idea of ​​​​establishing the three-currency exchange system. idea.

The original intention of Qianwu was not to simply exchange Yongle money and ji money, but to mainly engage in the circulation of gold, silver and copper. The currency needed by merchants to exchange, of course, the price of this kind of three goods circulation is also like the currency exchange is floating.

As soon as the three-currency exchange business was opened, it was warmly welcomed by Kinki merchants and townspeople. If the order to write money is only an official semi-forced requirement, the three-currency exchange just caters to the needs of everyone for currency use, whether it is a merchant or a In daily life, townspeople will encounter gold, silver, copper coins and even all kinds of miscellaneous goods converted into currency.

In the usual trade, the traded goods are easy to sell, but the choice of currency for the transaction is very small, and once the currency that is difficult to sell is obtained, it is difficult to exchange it, because the industry of the second trader has not yet appeared, so if you do not receive it The needed currency can only be spent as much as possible, and there will be many commercial frauds and unnecessary disputes.

The three-currency currency exchange promoted by Kira Yoshishishi is completely beyond the scope of the so-called two-for-one merchants, including the exchange price fluctuations, and the handling fee can be reduced or exempted gradually with the bulk currency exchange business to attract large merchants, because the introduction of the three-currency currency exchange will not be easy. Xingxing's money was also revitalized.

It’s also very strange to say that the folks use more coins because they don’t use so many large coins in daily life. However, with the implementation of the money writing order spreading to the entire Kinki, many townspeople have to prepare Yongle coins when paying taxes, but it doesn’t affect them. They usually use coins, and silver and gold have always been used as precious secondary coins. The specific valuation depends on the situation of each firm, and it is also a rare thing to be cheated by profiteers.

However, with the opening of the three currency exchanges, the currencies in Kyoto, Sakai, and Sakamoto became more circulated. At the same time, the big merchants exchanged the silver they had accumulated in their hands for Yongle coins, and then traded with Dongguo to earn Dongguo’s silver. Returning to Kinki for another exchange, gradually the number of Yongle coins in Kinki decreased again with the exchange of a large number of merchants, while the amount of money seemed to be much more.

This further reduces the exchange rate between ji money and Yongle qian, and then the common people take all the ji money in their hands to the money house to exchange for the profit-seeking nature. It will be seen that in this way, Ji Liangyi has made enough copper in exchanging ji coins, and has made profits with the help of a steady stream of Yongle coins.
