$ Chapter 590 52. Whether Kai Will Pacify the Country

Tsutsujizaki-kan was burned through by Takeda Yoshinobu, leaving nothing behind. As for Kai's treasury, it was cleaner than Yamanouchi's, and the rats had starved to death.

Kobayata, who was hoping to make a fortune by going to the city, could only throw up his hands. Every family was poor, and there was nothing he could do.

"Have people been sent to take over the gold mines in Koshu?"

"Except for the one where the Anayama clan went down the mountain, they have all been taken over."

"There are many whistling people among the miners, pay attention to suppress them. The furnace must be restored immediately, and there can be no mistakes!"

"Some miners have fled. Before the Battle of Uehara, Kai-dono also pulled a group of miners to participate in the battle, and many were killed and injured."

"Huh?" Kobayata stopped after hearing Kurosawa Yoshiki's report.

"We can only restore half of what we used to, unless we invest in new miners!"

"There are so many defeated soldiers in Koshu, and all those caught will be thrown into the mines!"

"Okay!" Kurosawa Yoshiki quickly wrote down the letter and turned to let Kobayata sign it.

"Tanzheng! Anayama Baixuesai has arrived!" Aji ran over to report.

He was only about 30 years old, with a shaved head, two well-groomed mustaches, and a quiet and smiling face. It was hard to imagine that he was the great traitor Anayama Nobukuni who sold out his master for glory.

Kneeling beside him were naturally Imagawa Hikogoro, Anayama Nobuharu, Kawakubo Nobumitsu, and Katsurayama Nobumasa.

Looking at this almost last batch of Takeda's blood, the eyes of the Yamauchi warriors revealed no kindness.

"The guilty minister Anayama Baixue greets His Highness, who has dismounted. His Highness's bravery is known throughout the East, and his heroic appearance is fascinating!"

"You know the times and surrender with courtesy, which comforts me very much!" Yamauchi Taro nodded.

"Let's not waste any more words. Since Baixuesai has come to join the battle, I have to trouble you with something!"

"Tanzheng, please speak!" Anayama Baixue was not panicked or suspicious. Those who surrender always have to pay a price.

Seeing that he looked normal, Kobayata sighed secretly. He was indeed a "talent" who would be infamous for thousands of years.

As for the things that needed his assistance, there was nothing unusual. It mainly consumed his financial and military resources.

The first was to cooperate with Konishihara Saemon, who had been confirmed as the lord of Kofu Castle, to rebuild Kofu Castle. The Anayama clan needed to provide wood and craftsmen, and also supply rations.

The second was to return to the lower mountain to gather the Anayama clan, and bring two thousand people to serve as the vanguard of the Yamanouchi family to pacify Suruga. If you really want to attack Sunpu Castle, then I'm sorry, you Anayama Meiyuki will go first.

The third one is easier to do. Now that there is a spring famine, you have to pay 500 stones of grain to supply the army. As for whether you plunder the territory or pay for it, it is none of the Yamanouchi family's business.

After listening to Kobayata's three requests, Anayama Meiyuki bent his head even lower, without any pleading or rebuttal, and accepted and faced it very calmly.

"I understand! I will do my best!"

Even though he was forced like this, he did not show any dissatisfaction, and the Yamanouchi officials who had a lot of words to criticize him were speechless.

"Bai Xuezhai really knows how to deal with things!" Hosokawa Harumiya sighed.

Since he agreed so readily, he could not be made difficult. Everyone's attention shifted to Imagawa Hikogoro, who was obviously the son of Takeda, but the half-grown child who inherited the Imagawa family.

Imagawa Hikogoro was twelve years old, which was not too young. Even those who were older had already come of age, such as the two dead kids under Koyata who had already fought in the battle.

In theory, even if he was treacherous, he should have killed the man in front of him with a knife, but Takeda was already doomed, so it was okay to keep him for the time being. In Shoryakuji Temple, there lived the monk Shao Cheng, the young master of Shirakawa, the former lord of Hamamatsu Castle, and there were many big men who became monks in the temple. Like Ogasawara Nagatoki, Asahina Taitomo, etc., which one is not famous in the world.

Want to run away after entering Shoryakuji Temple? That's impossible! Just be a monk!

As for the future leader of the Takeda clan, Anayama Shinji, the young man is very energetic, and can be said to be handsome, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. But he seems to be lacking in complexion, and his skin color is pale.

"As a courtesy to the minister, my lord will give the name "Katsu" under the former Yulin to Hikorokuro, and from now on, he will be renamed Takeda Katsunobu!" Kobayata continued to announce.

"Yes! I will never forget the grace of the emperor!" Takeda Katsunobu, who had just changed his name, did not have a rough voice, but was a little weak.

As for Kawaguchi Nobumasa and Katsurayama Nobumasa, they were originally required to commit seppuku as a condition of surrender, but now they also showed magnanimity and were incorporated into the Kai Semperho, and immediately returned to lead the troops to follow Anayama Umeyuki to go out.

After the group of people withdrew, only the warriors of the Yamanouchi family were left in the tent.

"Anayama Baisetsai should not be underestimated!"

"We have to use a temporary measure!"

"We must appoint a brave and honest man to serve as the military supervisor of the Anayama team."

"Under the fierce tiger of Kai, the dormant ones are indeed leopards and gluttons, and it is not easy to tame them."

No one dares to despise such a flexible general. Perhaps it is a safe way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

After a few words, he roughly sorted out the situation in Kai, and sent the letter of rebuilding Kofu Castle and appointing him as the governor of Kofu Castle and supervising Kai Province to Konishihara Saemon who had already gone to Iwadonoyama.

Several judges had just signed and were about to send the letter, but Konishihara Saemon sent someone over.

He sent a head, of course not Takeda Yoshinobu's.

The head of Oyamada Nobushige!

Half of his head was sunken, as if it had been hit by a blunt object. Even though everyone was used to seeing big storms and big waves, they had never seen such a tragic head. Xiao Pingtai asked people to take Yamauchi Taro away quickly, who was coming to inspect the head. This was too disgusting, and he was afraid that he would scare the children.

This little Yamada Echizen was guarding the enemy in Uehara Castle and was not working hard. After Takeda was defeated, he was the first to waver and flee. As a result, after running back to Kai, he was discovered by the surging Luomusha Hunter.

People didn't know who this was?

As a result, several farmers in Ishiwa, Yamanashi County, found that after running away, only four or five people followed Xiao Yamada Nobushige on the mountain road. They coveted the gold-decorated armor on his body, called friends and all the men, women, old and young in the village.

With a hoe, whether you are a human or a ghost, red and white will be smashed out.

"Are you sure it's Oyamada Echizen-no-kami?" Kitabatake University is old, but he has never seen a head that is half sunken and has drooping eyes.

"There are name tags written on the armor and inside the pocket, so it must be him!"

"What about Iwadonoyama Castle?" Hosokawa Harumiya turned his head away from the half-headed head.

"It collapsed without a fight, and the castle has been broken."

"Have you found any trace of Takeda Kai!" Kobayata thought that if this man died, then forget it, Takeda Yoshinobu is the key.

"It has been confirmed that Takeda Kai saw that Iwadonoyama was undefendable, and fled to Hachioji with generals such as Okuma and Iitomi."

It was not surprising that he eventually went to join his brother-in-law Hojo Ujinao.
