Knowing that Asakura Yoshikage was far from being as powerful as he appeared, Kira Yoshikoshi instantly felt at ease. Although he vaguely remembered that Asakura Yoshikage was not a wise master, he never thought that this person's political level was actually It is so inferior that it is probably comparable to the playboy Ichijo Kanesada of Tosa Ichijo family.
In fact, the situation of the Echizen Asakura clan is very complicated. Just like many families, they are faced with the dilemma of being forced to join the weak. During the Onin Rebellion, Asakura Toshikage dared to go to the shogunate with a piece of paper from the shogunate appointing the guardian of Echizen. Echizen Kingdom defeated the guardian Dai Kai Toshimitsu to seize the power of the kingdom, and several of his brothers used a lot of effort.
Asakura Toshikage then set up his base at Ichijodani Castle, and became an ally with Renyo Honganji, the eighth head of the Ichikō sect who fled Kyoto to Echizen and established Yoshizaki Gobo, and formulated the "Seventeen Articles of Asakura Toshikage" to establish this The Asakura family's governing ideas, and then in order to strengthen the influence of the Echizen prefectures, he sent his younger brother Asakura Toe Mori Kefuji to serve as the Tsuruga County Secretary.
They also recruited another brother, Jishiin Mitsuki, who had become a monk, to return to lay life and become Asakura Mitsuru as the Ono County Sheriff. At the same time, Asakura Shimono Mori Kekei served as the Ashuba County Sheriff. These three families are different from the ordinary sects of Asakura. They are called the sect of the same name, and the most powerful of them, Tsuruga-gunji and Ono-gunji, are also called the Niuchi sect.
However, the two clans have never been very stable. First of all, after the death of the first generation of Tsuruga County Sheriff Asakura Kagefuji, his legitimate son Asakura Kagetoyo, who served as the second generation of Tsuruga County Sheriff, attempted to rebel. However, he found his brother-in-law and Asakura Toshikage's son. Asakura Sotechi discussed the rebellion, but Asakura Sotechi reported it to his nephew the day before the incident. Asakura Sadakecho, who was the governor of the family at the time, received great credit. Asakura Sotechi also used this opportunity to win the title of Tsuruga County Sheriff Location.
As the God of the Northern Army gradually became known, the governors of the Asakura family were very short-lived one after another. Gradually, the two families were allowed to have independent control over the collection of county taxes and general military service, and at the same time they also gained the most important territory. The exclusive power of domestic judicial adjudication is almost a replica of the Takeda Ryozan and Maori Ryokan systems, with several generals with the same name running their own state within a state.
But even so, Asakura Yoshikage still played tricks to trick his uncle. I don’t know how his head is structured. In comparison, Hatakeyama Takamasa is a good samurai with normal IQ and very brave. If I insist on saying that Asakura Yoshikage What are the advantages of the scenery? Probably the only advantage is that he is proficient in Kyoto culture and is good at Waka tea ceremony. And he has built Ichijodani Castle Town into the "Second Kyoto".
Seeing the governor of the house, Kiragi, he was completely relaxed. Namioka Totobo smiled slightly and said: "Actually, this Asakura Kingoden also did a great thing, that is, he emptied the Ichijo Valley Shibo and Ichijo Valley Shobo of two families. The last time I went to Kaga to visit the Uesugi Danshoden, His Highness Asakura Gentosuke Kageren, he is the current governor of the Etchu Mori family in Ichijodani, and his status in the Asakura family is about the same as that of Hosokawa Hōbu-den. Free the Buddha.
This Asakura Gento assistant Kageren and another two-level assistant Kageyori who served as Asakura's sweeping department, as well as Uozumi Bingo Makiagegu, Kawai Anyun's Yoshito, and Maeha Touemon Kage's who were served by Ichijo Tanishi Koizumi, Tozaemon Nagatoshi and Asakura Yoshikage jointly assisted Asakura Yoshikage. These six people were also called Ichijoya Rokubo, and they basically monopolized all the government affairs of the Asakura family.
Asakura Kingo-don probably felt that the six of them were an eyesore, so he promoted a few smart people from the nearby favored ministers to set up an organization of callers, and ordered Ichijogani Roku to perform daily affairs and deal with the needs of callers.
The documents must be signed and monogrammed by the public before they can be put into practice. At the same time, when it comes to judicial review of land disputes and other issues, the Yichengguliu Law must also follow the opinions of the public. This is equivalent to completely ignoring these six powerful warriors.
"
Asakura Yoshikage's original intention may have been to take back the arbitrary power that originally belonged to the family governor, but he ignored a huge problem, that is, Ichijogaya Rokubo was not just a few powerless ministers, they had their own territory
and a large number of Kushidai's retainers, as well as a large number of Yuli officials who worked for them. Doing this is tantamount to starting a war between the clan and Kushidai at the same time. As the saying goes, there is nothing wrong with walking by the river.
Shoes. If he keeps playing like this, he will be waiting for the day when he will play with fire.
Hearing the strange expressions of many Echigo samurai, they could not understand the Asakura family's mentality of sitting on the fire pit and dreaming of life and death. Logically speaking, why are there such big differences between the neighboring countries of Hokurikudo? Kurokawa Kiyomi
He sighed: "So the Asakura family is more in danger of internal and external troubles than us? But Asakura Yoshikage is still living a luxurious life as before. It is really a miracle that he can safely sit on the position of family governor.
ah!"
Naoe Keizuna shook his head and expressed that he did not understand the Asakura family's thoughts. Logically speaking, the samurai of the Asakura family should have risen up to overthrow the family governor. Even if the family governor was not wrong, they could abolish it as long as they were dissatisfied. For example,
The Koji Rebellion that had just ended in the Noto Hatakeyama family was caused by Gokudai's attempt to forcibly abolish the family governor.
Saito Asanobu suddenly grinned and said: "Who knows what the Asakura family is thinking? Maybe they think that the governor is working hard to revitalize the family business! Maybe Asakura Yoshikage thought that the Asakura family was getting better and better under his governance.
Maybe it will become stronger and stronger. Please look back and see if the Tsujiangetsu Three Kingdoms Alliance reflects the strong self-confidence of Asakura Yoshikage."
"Hahaha...yes, yes!" The young warrior ignored the opinions of the middle-aged people and burst out laughing.
Seeing everyone's mood slowly regaining their former self-confidence with the analysis one by one, a faint smile appeared on Kira Yoshiki's face. As a house governor, he couldn't always show his worries and annoyances on his face, as that would make him appear
The family governor is immature and tends to make his family members think wildly. It is precisely because he has to bear the pressure alone that he is extremely sensitive to the events in Kinki.
But everything has changed now. Knowing Asakura Yoshikage's nature and ability, it is much easier to turn around and plan strategies. Kira Yoshiki supported his chin with one hand and soon fell into deep thought, and the time passed by.
In the past, many genealogical retainers in the evaluation room whispered about the feasibility of the strategy. Namioka Sobo and Honda Tokimasa were also deep in thought. Judging from their expressions, they probably had figured out a feasible method, but they were just stuck.
It is impossible to move on some levels.
There was a young man sitting very near the front who suddenly bowed and started to speak. This person was Yoshihiko Kira, a newly-recorded member of the Supreme Order. In the past few months, he had been hiding in the crowd and observing the music from left to right.
The expressions of the people on behalf of everyone. It was only at this moment that he saw that many of the generations were deep in thought before he suddenly said: "I have a plan that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Oh? Yoshimitsu, please speak!" Kira Yoshi suddenly became interested, secretly thinking that this kid couldn't help but show off after enduring most of the winter, and couldn't help but look forward to his performance in speaking for the first time.
Mogami Yoshimitsu noticed that hundreds of people in the entire evaluation room were looking at him, and he was suddenly nervous and hurried about, a little overwhelmed. Yamamoto Tokiyuki gave him a friendly smile, as if to say that there is no need to be nervous and speak out boldly, look.
Seeing this very warm look that he had never seen before, the young man suddenly felt that he was not nervous at all. He took a deep breath and said, "This plan is a bit difficult to talk about...because it requires killing people!"
Kira Yoshitsune knew that the young man might not have killed anyone before and that he had a slight mental disorder that he had not overcome, so he comforted him in a gentle voice: "What we samurai do is killing people, either killing people with tachi or coming up with strategies to kill people, or
Do something that will help samurai kill people quickly. It is much easier to come up with a strategy to kill people than to come up with a strategy not to kill people. Yoshimitsu can feel free to tell you what the strategy is!"
Mogami Yoshimitsu took a deep breath and said loudly: "I just heard the explanation and analysis of several highnesses. I concluded that Asakura Kingoden is a family governor who lives a luxurious life and likes to enjoy himself. He instigates a group of people to stand up against others just for the sake of the public.
To show that his civil and martial arts skills are not inferior to those of his ancestors, and for governance, he relies more on the transmission of the memorials and trusted ministers. Then we only need a few ninjas to sneak into Ichijo Valley City, assassinate the memorials and spread some rumors of assassination by the same name.
Throwing the Asakura family into chaos.
Then he bribed the Asakura family's maid to poison Asakura Yoshikage's favorite concubine Anaya, the young prime minister, and spread the rumor that Kaga Ichikami took advantage of the chaos to kill him. This Kingoden will definitely fall into a crazy situation, and the Asakura family will definitely
Will abandon the agreement made by the Three Kingdoms Alliance to attack the Rokkaku family and intercept the Ashikaga family, and launch an all-out Echizen Ichikui to avenge the bloody vengeance. This crazy family governor has lost his trusted followers one after another and has great suspicion of the people with the same name.
There will be no peace for the Asakura family now."
"Hiss! What a vicious plot! What a powerful scheming!" Honda almost screamed out. Fortunately, he still had a sense of vigilance and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
, Mogami Yoshimitsu's plan not only surprised Honda Tokimasa, but also Yamamoto Tokiyuki, Namioka Sofou, Hosokawa Fujitaka, Shima Tokikatsu, and Nagano Yasumasa also showed signs of surprise.
The slightly less intelligent Pu Daizhong cast a damn look at him. Takigawa Shiyi grinned for a long time and didn't really understand how this half-grown child could come up with such a cruel and vicious plan.
, Nagano Yaguru, who was sitting in the back seat of Ohiroma, also showed a serious expression, and Kobata Nobuzada rubbed his stiff expression and tried to wipe away the horrified expression.
He Tianyeshi's expression was similar to that of Kobata Nobuzada, and he said unnaturally: "This plan is too cruel! It's just to drive the Asakura family to a dead end. This is really a fifteen-year-old man."
The strategies that my peers have come up with...but why can’t I come up with such a powerful strategy?”
Obata Nobuzada curled her lips and said: "In addition to eating and sleeping, you only play hawk hunting, chasing animals, and killing people. You must be better than Yamagata-don, but what a trick! Let's wait until you are reincarnated in your next life to try it again!"
Wada Yeshige looked at him in surprise, and suddenly grinned: "Huh? I can't tell you that you are so quick to talk. If you don't accept it, why don't we go out and compete?"
"Okay! I am not afraid of you because I am trustworthy!"
"Stop making trouble!" Nagano Yegu interrupted their low-pitched fun, hesitated for a moment and then sighed: "His Royal Highness, Dr. Mogami Ukyo, will definitely become a great man in the future..."
Several young warriors came over and said disapprovingly: "How can you become a big shot with just this one trick? I think there is still a lot to be done!"
Nagano Yegu waved his finger and pointed at the ruler in the distance, and whispered: "If you don't believe it, you can tell by looking at His Highness's expression."
At this moment, after experiencing the baptism of initial surprise, Kira Yoshitoki showed a strange smile on his face. This smile was mixed with three parts surprise, two parts inquiry and five parts relief. The smile with complex expressions made Mogami Yoshimitsu momentarily confused.
He couldn't understand, and he was extremely nervous as if he were beating a drum. After all, this was the first time he had made suggestions for the Ashikaga family. He had no idea of the specific effects.
Yoshimitsu Kira didn't give him any time to prepare for any further tension. He just sighed softly and clapped his hands in admiration: "Yoshimitsu's plan is really good! But Yu's thinking is restricted by ancient behavioral habits. It's not at all
I thought about using such a...powerful strategy to deal with the Asakura family. This strategy inspired me a lot. If Yoshimitsu succeeds in defeating the Asakura family in the future, I will make you a mastermind."
The big stone in Mogami Yoshimitsu's heart was lifted, and he hurriedly leaned over to thank him for the compliment. Namioka Toutou shook his feather fan and said: "His Royal Highness Kyozo's plan was far beyond my Toutiao's expectation. If we follow this plan,
It is true that doing things can easily consume the Asakura family's own strength, but there is another detail below that can contribute to Jingzhaodian's plan...
When the mourners and the young prime minister Anaya died, causing Ichijogaya Castle to fall into chaos. He transferred the followers of Ichijogaya Roku and at the same time deceived the Tsuruga people into believing some rumors that were very unfavorable to Tsuruga County.
, for example, Asakura Kingoden is preparing to conquer the Kaga Ichigo clan, but the general has to hand over Asakura Keijing to the Ono family. I believe Asakura Keigong will not be able to sit still.
This news then passed through Ichijoya Roku's subordinates, turning this rumor into Tsuruga County Sheriff's preparations to forcibly regain the lost position of general, and Asakura Yoshikage will definitely veto Asakura Kage without hesitation.
His request. He was even punished to a certain extent for his ill-informed behavior. This caused the generals to be at odds before the war even started, and laid the foundation for the antagonism among the people with the same name. This is the plan of killing two birds with one stone!"
Kira Yoshishi exclaimed with great satisfaction: "What a plan! It's been really hard work in the dining room!"
"I don't dare to take credit, I'm just picking up the pieces and filling in the gaps." Namioka Toutou said modestly with a smile, which made Honda very annoyed. In fact, he also came up with a similar strategy, but he was wasted before he could complete the details.
Gang Tongfang came out on top. If he said it again, he would be regarded as imitating others. It would be better not to say it at all.
After enduring for a moment, he still didn't want to let Namigaoka Toutou stand out, so he forced himself to come up with the best strategy. He said loudly: "The chaos in the Asakura family is just a prelude. I have a plan that can make the Wakasa Takeda clan also suffer."
Chaos ensues. As long as Nakajo Dewa Morden joins the Kira naval forces in time to seize Maizuru Port, he can quickly control the entire Wakasa country and threaten the safety and stability of Tsuruga Port. Asakura Yoshikage must be certain by then
You will recognize the facts and give up your previous decision to oppose me, the Ashikaga family!"
Kira Yoshitoki waved his hand and said: "Let Tokimasa talk about the situation of the Wakasa Takeda clan!"
"In fact, the Wakasa Takeda clan is even more difficult than the Echizen Asakura clan. The current family governor Takeda Yoshitomi took the position of family governor by exiling his father. Because he was unfairly appointed and was a puppet of Asakura, it caused widespread dissatisfaction among the people of Wakasa.
, A few years ago, before Takeda Yoshitomi became the governor of the family, he was faced with the serious problem of a clan attacking his uncles." Honda Toki was telling the story of the Wakasa Takeda clan bit by bit.
Compared with Asakura Yoshikage's abnormal thinking, the former head of the Wakasa Takeda family, Takeda Nobutoyo, can only be regarded as a dark fool. At least he did not do too weird behavior, but he just happened to encounter the death of his descendant Rokkaku Sadayori, which made him resist.
The invasion of the Asakura family becomes more and more difficult, and the new backstage of Rokkaku Yoshihide is very weak, which triggers a round of family shopping between pro-Rokukaku and pro-Asakura.
Takeda Nobuntoyo did not stand at the forefront. Instead, he pushed his younger brother Takeda Shigenobu to confront Takeda Yoshitomi, who was pro-Asakura. As a result, a family dispute that began in the late Tianwen period slowly began, and Koji II
In 1556, Katsuhisa Awaya Echichu, the lord of Kuniyoshi Castle, supported Takeda Shigenobu in launching an attack on Takeda Yoshitomi.
Unfortunately, Rokkaku Yoshihide and Takeda Nobutoyo, who were supporting them later, did not follow up in time. Takeda Yoshitomi, who was supported by the Asakura family, and his younger brother Takeda Nobakata, easily defeated Takeda Shigenobu and Awaya Katsuhisa who were trying to seize power.
If Takeda Shigenobu had won this battle, there would have been a balance of power, but this defeat put Takeda Nobuntoyo's status as the family governor in jeopardy.
Two years later, in the first year of Eiroku, Takeda Yoshitomi felt that the time was ripe, so he took the initiative to provoke a war and launched a charge against the family governor, and successfully obtained the head of his uncle Takeda Shigenobu, putting his father Takeda Nobuntoyo at an absolute disadvantage.
Seeing that he was unable to resist, he was forced to flee to Omi Province for refuge with the support of the Rokkaku family.
Takeda Yoshitomi also successfully seized the position of governor of the family, but before he took up his position, he found that the governor's control over Wakasa country was getting weaker and weaker. His younger brother Nobukata Takeda took control of Toshiki County as the military representative, and Wakasa's double-walled Yatoshi
Mimasakune controls the Oioi County in the west, while Awaya Katsuhisa, who suffered a defeat, still firmly controls Mikata County. Wakasa Shuangbi's short dormancy is just sufficient preparation for the next outbreak.
Honda smiled at his father-in-law, Numata Mitsukane, and continued: "Actually, I also know that Numata Uenosuke has extraordinary connections in Wakasa, and Echizen has extraordinary connections. The former wife is the daughter of Takeda Motomitsu, and the two concubines are separated.
She is the daughter of Mototaka Awaya and the sister of Masazu Isumi of Wakasa Twin Walls. Her other sons-in-law are Uozumi Keigo, one of the Asakura family's Ichijotanashi four generals, Keitsu Maeba, and the Nianji family members.
The powerful general Yamazaki Yoshiie, as long as any one of these three people is controlled at will, they can bring serious disaster to the Asakura family.
In addition, there is the current leader of the Wakasa Muto clan, Muto Shunhide. It is said that this person is of first-class military strategy and intelligence. He has been in and out of Echizen country all year round and has a good knowledge of the wind speed and geography of the first half of Hokuriku. Such a talent is something that the Wakasa Takeda family cannot do.
If this person can be used by our superiors, the Ashikaga Clan, Wakasa Country will definitely be able to easily capture him and further threaten Echizen Country."
In fact, what Honda Tokimasa said after this is purely talkative. How to arrange the generals is a matter for Kira Yoshitsune, but since he mentioned it like this, there must be a reason, especially the highlighted one, Numata Mitsukane, is a member of the Wakasa Riki people.
It is indeed true, and his children are spread throughout Wakasa Country, Echizen Country and even Kitaomi. Such a well-spoken and well-connected samurai is simply a natural messenger.
"Yeah! I probably understand what you mean..." Kira Yoshishi caught a glimpse of Numata Mitsukane's excited expression, nodded and said: "Then Uenosuke Numata will serve as the second commander of Wakasa Province, responsible for the coordination of Wakasa's twin walls and the people in the county.
With many things burdening everyone, Uenosuke's task is to cooperate with the Kira Navy and Nakajo Dewa Mamoru's three thousand troops to open up the situation as soon as possible, and quickly grasp the territorial defense strength of the entire Wakasa Kingdom, so as to reduce unnecessary troubles and welcome back the exile.
Takeda Nobutoyo can once again serve as the family governor!"
…
This year's rain and snow are particularly dense. In previous February, the snow will gradually melt and gradually enter the warm spring days, but this year there was still a heavy snowstorm until February 20th. This heavy rainfall affected most of Honshu Island, and
A rainfall in Kinai and snow in Kanto are the beginning of spring in the new year.
Because of the sudden change in Kinai, Kira Yoshitoki had to make the decision to postpone his move south. He could be sure that as long as the Kira family fell into the war in Kanto, Miyoshi Nagakei would definitely launch a strong attack on Omi from behind. This so-called anti-Kira encirclement network and
The invitations extended to the Kai Takeda clan and the Sagami Hojo clan from the Dewa Mutsu people were precisely based on this consideration.
Miyoshi Nagakei's purpose was clearer than before. He turned his hostile target from the shogunate in Kyoto to the Kira family, the backstage of the shogunate. Through the Kinai War in the past ten years, he understood a truth, that is, if he did not defeat the supporters behind the shogunate, he would not be able to defeat the shogunate.
There is the possibility of completely dominating the shogunate, and the Kinai Three Kingdoms Alliance also wants to further clarify its strategic goal, which is to defeat the Kira family and the Rokkaku family who supported the shogunate in Omi Province.
Kira Yoshitoki would not allow Miyoshi Nagakei to make plans easily. The first point of attack he chose was the Echizen Asakura family. In fact, the current family governor Asakura Yoshikage is not as strong as imagined, especially against the Kira family's maritime trade.
The control level of Tsuruga Port, which has the greatest impact, is extremely low. This is hugely good news for the Kira family.
That's why there was an arrangement for Numata Hikaru to go to Wakasa country alone with a heavy responsibility. Numata Mitsukane's first task was to win over his brother-in-law, Yoshimi Masayo, who was twenty years younger than him. Only by winning over Wakasa could he ensure the subsequent
The operation to seize Maizuru Port will not be greatly interfered by the Tango Isshiki clan.
Yamamoto Tokiyuki will lead the 3,000-strong Vietnamese-Chinese military force and will also depart at the same time. They will take a return ship to Wakasa Province and wait near Maizuru Port. Nakajo Tokihide will rush to Wakasa territory as soon as possible to complete a smooth handover.
After everything was arranged, it was already the time for spring sowing, and the warm feeling of spring once again filled the warm earth.
The spring of the third year of Yonglu has quietly arrived. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
