The Tsugawa family's defeat of the alliance of the Andong family and other wealthy families did not have any effect on the entire Sengoku period, because wars like this happened almost every day throughout the RB, and even larger battles abounded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But for the Hago area, the impact is greater.

The most intuitive is the rise of the Tsugawa family and the decline of the Minato family.

With the death of Anton Yaoji, the position of the governor of the Anton family became vacant, and in the past, the two Anton families were the most active in the competition for the position of the governor. But now that Anton Youji has also died in battle, it stands to reason that the position of the family governor should be Anton Tongji, after all, Anton Yaoji has no heirs, and only Anton Tongji is the one who will inherit the position of the family governor.

But Anton Tongji was not happy at all at this time, because the position of the governor of the family had nothing to do with him.

The new Minato family governor is Anto Saburo from the Hiyama Andong family. Anton Saburo is the third son of Anton Shunji, the head of the Hiyama Anton family, and the grandson of Anton Yaoji. Due to the death of Anton Yaoji in battle, how could the Hiyama Andong family, who had always wanted to annex the Anton family, give up such a great opportunity? Under all kinds of coercion, the head of the Anton family was assumed by Anton Saburo. After all, the Anton family had just been defeated, and now they still had to ask Anton Shunji, so Anton Tongji and others had to compromise. At this time, Andong Saburo was only 1 year old, so the power of the Andong family was equivalent to being in the hands of the Hiyama Andong family.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Minato Castle Castle Tower was a little heavy.

Several people dressed as samurai in the hall were discussing something in a low voice, and the leader was Anton Tsuki, and the remaining three were Kubota Castle Lord Kubota Ieji, Shirakaba Castle Lord Shirane Masayoshi, and Toshima Shigema, the new governor of the Toshima family and Toshima Shigema's younger brother.

"Lord Tongji, Lord Anton Shunji's move simply didn't take our Anton family in the city in his eyes!" Kubota Ieji, a forty-year-old middle-aged samurai, with a treacherous look, said loudly, "The intention of the Andong family is obvious, it is nothing more than to monopolize the interests of my city. ”

"Who doesn't know that Tsuchizaki Minato, where I have a castle, is the largest port in the Tohoku region, and the maritime trade between the Tohoku region and the Noto and Kaga regions is so great that there is no reason why the Anto family should not be tempted. Now Anton Shunji is directly involved in the inheritance of the family's governor, which is really a wolf's ambition! ”

Anton Tongji sighed and said helplessly, "But what else can we do besides agreeing to Anton Shunji's request?" The elder brother was defeated and died, and the strength of his family was greatly damaged, and he was no longer the opponent of Anton Shunji. If you don't agree to Anton Shunji's conditions, I'm afraid that Anton Shunji will directly seize my city by force, and at that time, what will the family use to resist? ”

"However, is it difficult for us to give up the interests of Minato City to Anton Shunji?" Shiraken Changji on the side also said loudly.

Shirane Masayoshi's words made Anton Tongji fall into deep thought, cede benefits? How can it be! If they were really willing, Anton Tongji and the others would not be sitting here to discuss at this time.

Minato Castle, or Tsuchizaki Minato, was the largest trading port in the Tohoku region at this time, and it was also the loyal merchant of the Hokukoku region. Here, merchants transported products from the Tsuzaki area to Kyoto through Tsuzaki Minato, and at the same time, products from the Kyoto area were sold in Tsuchiminato.

The Onodera family, the wealthy family of the Dewa Province and the former Tozawa family, also sent rice and timber to Tsuchizai Minato, and in particular, the famous horses and other specialties from all over the Tohoku region were also transported to Tozaki Minato for trading, and even the thousands of stone grain that the Tsugawa family had previously traded with the Yanagida family was also transported to Noto Province through Tsuchizaki Minato.

In addition, to a certain extent, Tozaki Minato maintained cultural and economic exchanges with the Balhai Sea (present-day northern Russia) and Goryeo, and it was the largest shipbuilding base in the Tohoku region, and almost all of the warships of the Minato family, Hizan Anto, Daihoji, Nanoka, and Tonsaki were from Minato.

From these places, it is not difficult to see how important Minato Castle is to the Minato family, and how much benefit Minato has generated from the port of Tsuchizaki Minato. The territory of the Minato family is not large, and the stone is not high, and it has been able to stalemate with the Homadewa overlord Hiyama Andong for so many years, relying on the largest port in the Tohoku region.

And now, the ambition of the Hiyama Anto family to intervene to take over Minato Tsuchizaki is obvious, for Anton Toki or Kubota Ieji and others, it is undoubtedly to compete for their jobs and take food from their mouths, how can they agree?

Especially Anton Tongji, the position of the governor who he thought about day and night was robbed, and he was already holding back his anger, and now the Anton family is still interfering in Tsuchizaki Minato, which suddenly pulled Anton Tongji's nerves.

In fact, although Anton Tongji was unwilling to be the governor of Andong Saburo, he didn't dare to say anything in order to make up for Anton's family, after all, no matter who served as the family governor, as long as Didon Minato was there, Anton Tongji and others could live a very nourishing life. It's a pity that now someone wants to rob Anton Tongji and others of their "jobs", but Anton Tongji doesn't agree.

After listening to Shirane Masayoshi's question, Anton Toki immediately said firmly, "Anton Shunji wants us to let Tsuchizaki Minato?" Dream! ”

"The Tsuchizaki Minato generation is in charge of my Minato family, and although my brother is dead, we are still here! Anton Shunji wants to use his son to control me and make up for Anton's family and then occupy Dozaki Minato, so I also have to ask if Anton Shunji agrees! Anton Tongji said through gritted teeth.

"Kubota-sama, Toshima-sama, Shirane-sama! Today is different from the past, in the past, we could still fight against the Hiyama Andong family, but now that the elder brother is dead, the strength of the family can no longer resist Anton Shunji, so next we must unite the rest of the forces to strengthen ourselves, so that the Hiyama Andong family will be jealous, and dare not break the net with us! Anton Tongji said with a hideous face.

Hearing Andong Tongji's words, Kubota Ieji and the others nodded again and again.

"This is indeed the best way now, but if we want to unite with other wealthy families, who should we turn to?" Toshima Shigemasa is just a Yuan service, and he is still young, so he can't pay attention to such a thing for a while.

At this time, Shirane Masayoshi spoke, "How about the people of Yuri-gun, such as the Akao Tsu family or the Niga Ho family?" Although the Akao Tsu family and other wealthy families have always wanted to get out of the control of their own family, our relationship with them is not bad for the time being, and although the Akao Tsu family and other wealthy families are moving closer to the Hiyama Andong family recently, I think if we go and lobby, we should still be able to win them over. ”

"No, no, no!" As soon as Shirane Masayoshi's words fell, Kubota Ieji on the side shook his head one after another and said, "The Akao Tsu family and others are bent on taking refuge in the now more powerful Hiyama Ando family, and they will not offend Ando Shunji for us." What's more, even if the Akao Tsu family is on our side, with the strength of the Akao Tsu family and other wealthy families, it is far from enough! ”

"But who else can we find besides the Akao Tsu family? What do you think? Shirane Shoyoshi continued.
