So he immediately strikes a deal with infamous leader of one more violent clans, arm them with weapons and armor to muster more troops while he builds war academy as means improve his own tactical skills in battlefield and those under his command. As army without skilled commander is useless, most likely next year comes either mustering troops or building forges to build weapons and armor for his armies.<br/><br/>But he needs negotiate more than one clan....so he turns to his present general, lady Yamashita (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=274532.msg13531034#msg13531034), to negotiate NAT with Krai Folk, as news of emperor being on death bed he had acquaintanced with Jaha Mizushima, most likely candidate for the leadership in clan and what he has heard she is now leader. So he sends his trusted general handle details of the negotiations plus any additional advantages she thinks could seek from the alliance in negotiation table. Besides that tell her to expand to south, to capture and claim territory with docks which allow sea route to southern islands. Giving her four units of soldiers in case conflict with bandits.<br/><br/>Most of all though Takeda's mind is on upon the mercenary shinobi which he had hired to perform one time kidnap mission for him.....he eagerly waiting on results of said mission on his castle keep where he instructs on beginning foundations on the academy.
