Asakura Yoshikage felt deeply humiliated and angry. The old people of the Shodai family responded with each other, making him deeply feel that as a powerful daimyo in Kinki, he had so many helplessness. In the past, no one dared to do anything to him.
When I talk about how the Asakura family is not doing well in front of me, what I always hear in my ears is how powerful the Asakura family is.
People who have been with him all year round often praise the greatness of the Asakura family in front of him. The most common mention is how powerful the Asakura family's political influence in the Kinai is and how far-reaching its economic influence is on Hokuriku.
The Tsuruga Port of Echizen Province can easily choke the Kira family's maritime trade lifeline, so the Asakura family is the least afraid of the Kira family of all samurai families in the Kinai. It only takes a slight threat to force the Kira family to surrender.
But everything he hears and sees now tells him deeply that what he heard and seen before seems to be an illusion. The Asakura family is facing many crises from inside to outside. Inside, there are Echizen Sakai County, Ono County, etc.
The local Echizen clan needs to be eradicated, the external Kaga clan needs to be dealt with, and the Echigo Kira family and the Wakasa Takeda clan need to be dealt with.
The family development strategy is inconsistent with his will for revenge. The topic that the family members and the people of the country have been debating is how to retaliate against Kaga. Should he start a civil war and give him a beating, or should he give him a beating?
Launching an all-out war severely dealt a blow to Kaga's arrogance.
Just when Asakura Yoshikage was hesitating, his father-in-law Anatani Tsutomo suddenly cried: "What do you mean by this? My poor daughter died in the hands of a traitor who has always been a traitor. She was
My daughter from the Ashikaga family! Doesn’t Kingo-den love her the most? Are you going to let my poor daughter die in vain?”
When Asakura Yoshikage heard this cry, he immediately thought of the woman he had loved for many years. Originally, he had planned to make the young prime minister the wife of his wife. But suddenly, Akuhime, whose appearance and temper were much different, suddenly appeared. He could only be careful.
He comforted his beloved woman and waited patiently. But he didn't think that waiting would be an opportunity for heaven and man to never see each other again.
Thinking of the tragic situation when the young prime minister died, the anger that had been suppressed in Asakura Yoshikage's chest rose up again, and he shouted angrily: "The traitor of Kaga Ichimu clan killed our beloved young prime minister! Our family will never tolerate the murderer.
Get away with it! We must take revenge on Kaga and give him a good look!"
There were so many foreigners that there were not many expressions, but the family members were slightly unhappy. It was clear that two ladies had died and one of them was Mrs. Asai who was pregnant, but Asakura Yoshikage only had a female prime minister in his eyes.
, if Asai Nagamasa knew that his sister was so worthless, it would definitely cause unnecessary diplomatic disputes.
Asakura Tosa Mamoru Kageyuki, the lord of Kitanojo Castle, tactfully persuaded: "I deeply feel your lord's mood. The death of Mrs. Asai while pregnant with your highness's child in Sanrihama is really a huge disaster. Why not take this opportunity to formally inform Kotani
Please let the Asai family know that my Asakura family is determined to take revenge."
Asakura Yoshikage knew that this was brother Xi's tactful persuasion not to be emotional, but his heart seemed to have been taken away with the death of the young prime minister, and he had no intention of considering more alternatives. He waved his hand and said: "...just...
Let’s do it this way! I’m tired too. You can discuss it later and come up with the statement from Ishimi Shou and hand it over to my family’s monogram. I’ll leave the rest of the evaluation meeting to you!”
"Your Majesty, I send you my lord." The warriors quickly bowed and saluted. Kuratani Tsutomo, who had a very special status and was independent from the Asakura family system, also resigned because of sadness. Many people in the queue looked at the proud man.
For Fukuoka Yoshikiyo, there was a certain amount of contempt and vague malice in these eyes.
As soon as he watched Asakura Yoshikage leave, Fukuoka Yoshiki couldn't wait to sit upright, coughed and reminded: "My lord, you must understand exactly what I mean! The hatred between Mrs. Asai and Mrs. Anura must be avenged.
And my brother-in-law cannot die in vain, so we must beat the Kaga Ichimu clan, and we must beat him hard. Please tell me how to beat him!"
Fukuoka Yoshikiyo's overstepping behavior aroused the displeasure of the other members of the family and many family elders. As a result, no one answered him for nearly a quarter of an hour after he finished speaking. They either pretended to be thinking about the problem or looked like they were wandering.
Ming looked down upon him, the leader of the players with a low status.
The other members of the Souvenirs have been living in Ijogani Castle for more than ten years, playing with Asakura Yoshikage every day, and making fools of themselves in various ways to make the governor happy. Who knows anything about military and national affairs? They can search their memories to come up with a few decent words.
Or they heard some words from Asakura Yoshikage's gossip. It is unrealistic for them to come up with effective ways to deal with Kaga. If they really had this ability, they might have sent Asakura Yoshikage to take charge.
The military representative has gone.
Those who are incompetent want to say something but don’t know how to say it, and those who are capable are deliberately pretending to be dumb and silent. Anyway, they just look down on you, a lucky minister. This made Fukuoka Yoshikiyo angry and said: "If you don't have anything to say,
Then don’t blame me, Yiqing, for reporting the truth, just saying that you are doing things poorly and unable to come up with powerful measures to deal with Kaga..."
"My eyes are clumsy, I wonder who Ishimi Shou was talking to while he was talking to himself for a long time?" Uozumi Kagegu narrowed his eyes and mocked coldly: "My lord just mentioned that Ishimi Shou handed over the discussed terms.
Did you ever say that Ishimi Mamoru would preside over the evaluation meeting? Is Ishimi Mamoru’s frivolous behavior despising the many descendants of the Asakura family?”
Fukuoka Yoshikiyo was furious: "You...you are spitting blood! You are slandering! I will sue you in front of the lord!"
"Hmph! I want to go all over the place. With Iwami Mamoru's legs, no one can stop me." Uozumi Kagegu was not afraid of the tit-for-tat confrontation. He was able to have this confidence because there were many people in the clan of Genedai retainers who supported him.
, the chief genealogist of the family, Lao Yamazaki Yoshiie, as well as Yumi Yukitada, Kawai Yoshito and others are all supporting him.
Yuzhu Jinggu made it clear that he would not let him go down the steps, otherwise he would be slapped naked in the face, which made the scene more and more embarrassing. Qianbo Jingding quickly stepped forward to be the peacemaker: "Your Highnesses, please calm down for the time being. Since we agree with each other,
As a loyal minister of my Asakura family, I serve my lord with the same palace, so why should I get into trouble because of some misunderstandings? Let’s discuss how to deal with Kaga’s problem of always being stubborn!”
Maeami Kagesada tried hard to persuade the two of them to make peace. To be more precise, it was Fukuoka Yoshikiyo who took the lead and pretended to be generous and did not care. It was not because he was very generous and informal or was moved by Maeami Kagesada's rhetoric.
Rather, it was because he had discovered that the Asakura family had the most powerful members of the same name, as well as the family retainers with extraordinary strength. No one from outside the country came to speak for him, which made him realize that the members of the family did not have much to rely on except the family governor.
capital.
Several family members said a few words in a nonchalant manner and suggested that they have lunch first before continuing the discussion. Fukuoka Yoshikiyo also agreed to calm down the atmosphere. In private, Fukuoka Yoshikiyo went to Ono County Prince Asakura Kaikaku.
He promised to keep him a powerful military general who had always conquered Kaga this time, in exchange for the strong support of this powerful retainer.
Asakura Keijing agreed with a smile. But in his heart, he despised Fukuoka Yoshikiyo even more. After watching him leave, he secretly smiled and said: "Asakura's family actually breeds such a sycophant who is obsessed with seeking power, but he didn't know that his ancestor Takakage Gongruo
How would you feel when you know that he has such a useless legitimate son and has promoted so many useless retainers?"
He would accept the olive branch offered by Fukuoka Yoshiki without hesitation, but Asakura Keijing did not have many worries about his family, country, and world in his heart. He hated everything about the Asakura family from the bottom of his heart, including his sect.
There is also the family governor Asakura Yoshikage. His childhood was spent in the planning of his ambitious father Asakura Kagetaka.
He had witnessed too many conspiracies and ruthless betrayals since he was a child, which made his early education lack moral values and the necessary sense of right and wrong. Just when he was about to become an adult, Asakura Ketaka failed in his rebellion and fled to Kyoto, and was subsequently completely exiled for the second time.
He was expelled from the Asakura family. From then on, his life was flooded with ridicule, ridicule and contempt, which filled his heart with endless hatred. He hated his father, his brothers, his family members, and the Asakura family.
Everything, even hating himself.
According to the normal life trajectory, maybe he will follow his father's old path with this hatred, and then die under the sword of a certain samurai, becoming a highlight of his military exploits, but all of this is because of Asakura Yoshikage.
In the hands of the clever house governor, Asakura Yoshikage wanted to check and balance the overly powerful Tsuruga County Sheriff. He remembered that Ono County Sheriff still had a remnant like him, so he promoted him to regain the lost military power of Ono.
And then become a confidant.
In his opinion, maybe Asakura Yoshikage is still dreaming about the kindness of knowing him, and imagining that Asakura Yoshikage will regard this arm stretched out from Takamagahara as the great benefactor who saved him from hell, so
As long as he recreated his life, he would be moved to die for him, but Asakura Yoshikage never thought about it that way. He would only become more excited and watch Asakura Yoshikage make stupid mistakes one after another.
, and don't mind making trouble to make this idiot even stupider.
The evaluation meeting was held again in the afternoon. Fukuoka Yoshikiyo and the presenters were much more honest. Yamazaki Yoshiie served as the temporary host of the evaluation meeting and convened the retainers and people to discuss countermeasures. Several people from the country also spoke enthusiastically, making the atmosphere very lively.
This made Fukuoka Yoshikiyo feel very embarrassed. Thinking about the scene of silence in the morning, his resentment towards these members of the group grew even more.
Perhaps because he was a little too excited, Yinmu Jingzhong suddenly said: "We should not have broken the covenant with the Kira family so hastily. If we had not pierced the layer of paper, we would not have been in such an embarrassing situation.
At least we can suppress Wakasa Country safely and leave Kaga Ichikui to the Kira family to deal with, and the young prime minister will not die in vain at Sanrihama..."
"Yin Mu, be careful! Don't forget that we are allies with the two families who are anti-Kiliang!"
Yin Mu Jingzhong also realized that he was a little too careless. He rubbed his head and apologized sheepishly: "I'm going to Meng Lang! Actually, I mean..."
"Does it mean that it is more cost-effective to marry Kira than Miyoshi? In the years that I have been serving the Asakura family, Yin Mudian has realized the truth of being close to the stronger party!" Takahashi Keiye, a member of the memorial group, seized this opportunity to sarcastically say, and
Lively Yin Mu Jingzhong became angry because a good evaluation would turn the vegetable market into a noisy place again.
The last few important ministers and elders decided to end the evaluation meeting and discuss the crusade instructions to be handed over to the family governor another day. It was not until the memorial speakers and the people left one after another that Asakura Kageki warned the crowd in front of a book: "
My father has been dealing with Kaga Ichikui all his life. As my father’s successor, I, Keiki, support Kaga Ichikui!
But please don’t forget that the original alliance with the Kira family to share Kaga country has been broken. It is really difficult to say whether the Kira family will fight with us until the end. In the end, the Kira family will pick the peach.
You will lose all your money. We must also be careful of the Kira family using any evil means to secretly encourage them in this Sanrihama riot. Don't let me, the Asakura family, be the pawn they fool."
Asakura Kageki's words aroused bad thoughts in many people. It must be admitted that the Kira family used their ability and definitely had the intention to promote this assassination. From the surface, it can be seen that this Sanrihama riot is completely different from what Kaga has always done.
Because, especially combined with Kaga's misdeeds of cooperating with the Takeda family to launch the Kasugayama riot, it can be further proved that the Kira family was involved in this riot.
Kaga has always been a group of warrior monks whose minds are filled with madness and violence. They regard the rules and regulations as correct and can kill people and set fires with swords. They dare to drink wine and eat meat in Buddhist temples, and even dare to hide filth and evil in the temples, marry and have children.
These flower monks dare to think and do anything. The only thing they can't think of is conspiracy and conspiracy, and the only thing they dare not do is blasphemy against gods and Buddhas.
Kira Yoshitoki's image in the Kinai is very good. He abides by business rules, respects cultural people, respects religious freedom in the Kinai, respects the imperial court and the shogunate, abides by the laws and regulations, and treats everyone from the public to the common people without discrimination. He is the only one willing to pay for the soldiers who died in the war.
Generally speaking, he has a perfect image as a member of the Wu family with a high pension, and his popularity and reputation within the region are very good.
But it is not enough to cover up his good at conspiracy and vicious methods. Thinking back to how many martial arts families have died in his hands or even been exterminated over the years, the imperial court and shogunate can be deceived by his rhetoric. The people of Li are deceived by his propaganda.
He was deceived, but the powerful samurai family would not be deceived by his illusion. They knew very well in their hearts what a terrible opponent the Kira family was.
It is naive to wishfully think that the Kira family did not intervene. You must know that Kira Yoshitsune was able to defeat the powerful Takeda Shingen and Hojo Ujiyasu by various means, but it was not entirely because of his powerful military. The samurai were brave and good at fighting. He did not have superb intelligence and omnipotence.
With his extremely cruel methods, it is absolutely impossible for him to become a famous figure in the Five Kingdoms in just a few years.
It took several generations of the Asakura family to work hard for decades to establish Echizen. Asakura Kage's father was the original member of the Asakura family who experienced the founding period of the Asakura family. When it comes to the difficulties of starting a business, Asakura Kage knows better than anyone else.
Ji is more afraid of the Kira family than anyone else, who is the mastermind behind it. Compared with the trump card that the Asakura family holds against Kira, the Kira family has more trump cards that can easily deal with the Asakura family.
"Is the commotion in Sanrihama this time a stern warning given to us by the Kira family? No! It is undeniable that the master was almost assassinated... In this way! The Kira family may have been lucky enough to kill the master and make the Asakura family fall into trouble.
Civil strife and bad luck have deterred us from taking any rash actions and warned us that we have enough means to deal with my Asakura family? This is a bit too..."
Yamazaki Yoshie's words came to an abrupt end only in the middle of his words. However, the samurai present all understood what kind of modal particles he should use to express his surprise in his lingering words. It seems that this inference is the most likely to be close.
It is a fact that the Kira family is very likely to be involved in this commotion, but they are unable to catch the Kira family. Even if they have thousands of suspicions, they can only stare at the mastermind behind the scenes.
The only thing to blame is that when the commotion happened, the samurai of the Asakura family were so impatient that they chopped up the melons and vegetables and chopped the assassins clean. If there was no one left alive, and there was no evidence to accuse him, it was a false accusation. Just based on the Kira family's
There might be some tricks to deal with the Asakura family. Thinking about this possibility makes many samurai feel cold in their hearts.
Asakura Keijing was somewhat surprised to look at Asakura Keiki, who had always been unknown and transparent, with gray hair in his fifties. He never expected that this guy who had always looked down on him could think so deeply about the inside story. Many of them were his.
It was something he couldn't even think of, and he realized that he seemed to have underestimated the strength of this powerful enemy.
The evaluation meeting ended with a warning from Asakura Kageki. Within a few days, the public came up with a detailed plan to attack Kaga Ichiku. The attack was limited to Echizen Sakai County and Ono County.
In the name of revenge, Echizen has always been clinging to power. In the name of revenge, he summoned 20,000 troops to launch an attack on Echizen Yoshizaki Gobo, striving to completely remove this nail that had been buried in Echizen for decades.
Generally speaking, they copied the old routine of attacking Echizen in the past decades, but in a different name, it was still a step-by-step offensive plan that lacked new ideas. Fukuoka Yoshiki took this offensive plan and poured out his bitterness in front of Asakura Yoshikage.
He also did not forget to ridicule the plan put forward by Bo Daizhong, trying to use this method to influence Asakura Yoshikage's judgment.
It's a pity that the house governor was grieving because of his wife's untimely death. He held the bronze mirror and was stunned for a long time without saying anything. He didn't hear his sincere and slanderous words at all. In the end, he just signed the monogram and dismissed him casually.
This made Fukuoka Yoshikiyo very disappointed with the governor's statement.
The rhetoric that he had been preparing for so long failed to impress Asakura Yoshikage, forcing him to come up with his trump card: "Please tell me, Lord, who will be the general-in-chief of this crusade against the Echizen Ichikage clan? Should Asakura Shiki be appointed?
Is Jing Jingdian, the auxiliary of the ministry, serving as the general of the expeditionary army?"
Fukuoka Yoshiki asked patiently twice before calling Asakura Yoshikage out of his wandering: "... Asakura Kageyoshi should be the general? How to let him be the general? Shouldn't Asakura Kagetaka be the general?
...I have remembered that it was too much to appoint Asakura Keitaka as the general. Now is the time to appoint Asakura Keika as the general. Let’s use him!”
"But how should Jingji Dian explain it? Jingji Dian recommended his legitimate son Jing Yu as a strong candidate to be the general..."
Asakura Yoshikage waved his hands impatiently and scolded this close minister who had been following him for more than ten years: "What a long time! Just do whatever my family arranges! If there is a problem, just ask your uncle to come to my family!"
"Ha!" Fukuoka Yoshiki quietly stepped back a few steps and turned around to leave, showing a smug smile from an angle that Asakura Yoshikage couldn't see. The first thing he did after leaving the castle tower was not to draft an edict with a pen but
He quickly returned to Shikiya and wrote down what he had just witnessed and sent it to his promising ally, Asakura Kagekage.
The humiliation left to him at that evaluation meeting made him deeply realize the truth. As a close minister beside the family governor, if he does not have strong support from external allies, he can only be a little man who pretends to be powerful and is humiliated at the evaluation meeting.
At that time, there was no strong warrior to speak for him, which was really irritating to him.
"That's why I need your support even more! Asakura Kagekyo!" Fukuoka Yoshikiyo muttered happily while writing: "We are allies. With my support, you can secure your position as general, and you will be defeated in the future.
Tsurugazu also wants me to help you, so you must remember the good things about me, Yoshikiyo!"
In this strange atmosphere, the Asakura family decided to go out to conquer Echizen in August. In just one month, 20,000 elite Echizen people gathered outside Ichijodani Castle. When Asakura Yoshikage stood at the castle
When I saw the 20,000 brave Tigers and Ben troops in the pavilion, shouting the slogan of crusade in unison, I suddenly felt very at ease in my heart.
"Sure enough, only a strong samurai group can defend the majesty of our Asakura family, and it is the foundation for maintaining our family's dominance of the Hokuriku. Only they can fight against those who do evil for our family!" Asakura Yoshikage said profoundly.
I realized that the strength of the Asakura family was based on a strong family lineage, loyal family elders, and 20,000 samurai ashigaru who were loyal to him.
In the past, the confidants who he liked very much were just decorations of his power. They could not change the Asakura family's extreme dependence on one retainer. Asakura Yoshikage thought to himself: "Power! What a terrible thing! It
It allows me to mobilize 20,000 troops to take revenge with just one word... It is also the power that allows me to meet and lose the young prime minister. Power is really something left by the evil spirits of hell!"
The 20,000 Tigers held a simple swearing-in meeting and set off. Their goal was the important town of Echizen on the border of Echizen Country. This time, the primary target was Yoshizaki Gobo, the base camp of Echizen Country. As long as they could successfully eradicate the Sakai County
Since Echizen has always been the main force, there is no need to worry about what kind of trouble Echizen has made elsewhere. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
