Yoshizaki Gobo was the first base established by Rennyu Honganji in the third year of civilization (1471) when he fled to Hokuriku for refuge after being designated as a Buddhist site by Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei. The mission attracted believers. Because it was located on the border of Echizen Province, it was protected by Echizen at that time. Asakura Toshikage, the first generation governor of the Asakura clan, acquiesced. Then Honganji Renru focused the spread of believers on Kaga Province and quickly gained support. He took complete control of the country and established the famous Kaga Ichikui.
As the Asakura family gradually strengthened its position as the head of the country, and after successfully defeating and expelling the head of the family, Yoshitoshi Shiba, when he turned back to deal with Echizen, he found that this formerly inconspicuous sect had become violent. Becoming a blood-devouring monster, because of the special sectarian attributes of this Yikui, they can easily ignore all the court laws and regulations of the Wu family in the world, and expand and develop believers unreasonably, making generations of family governors of the Asakura family Suffering from headaches.
It can be said that this Echizen has always been a problem, which is a historical issue that has existed in the Asakura family for nearly a hundred years ago. In the Kuzuryu River War that broke out in Sakai County, Echizen Province more than fifty years ago, Asakura Sotechi relied on his powerful attack. Successfully defeated the main force of Echizen Ichikui, and completely destroyed Yoshizaki Obo, which was once burned by the army, which brought a major blow to the Ichiko sect.
But thirty years later, the Yoshizaki Gobo of the Great and Great Ichikui once again became the base of the Little One's side. As the Choshoji temple massacred all parties in Hokuriku, it once again took control of this former Hokuriku Buddhist holy land. After two generations of reconstruction, this place Although Yoshizaki Gobo can no longer be compared with the powerful fortress of the past, there is no problem that it is a highlight of Choshoji Temple.
From the side, it shows that the Asakura family has never been able to fully control Echizen Country. Even if they crossed Ohno County and attacked Kaga Country several times in the following decades, they still could not cover up the problem of weak control. This time the Asakura family seemed determined. In order to conquer Echizen, we have always set our sights on Yoshizaki Obo as our primary target.
It can be said that the march of the army went smoothly, and they crossed the Kuzuryu River without encountering any obstruction. It was not until the 20,000-strong army crossed the circle of influence of Horiekan, the front line of the Echizen Kingdom, that they encountered the first force of resistance not long after. An army consisting of about 300 people appeared in front of them. They panicked and picked up their weapons and rushed towards the Asakura family's army. They were shocked to find that the Asakura army's long team looked at them. Before he could reach the end, he hurriedly turned around and fled towards his farm.
It didn't look like they were fighting. It was a natural reaction after hearing about the invading army. Judging from their performance, they didn't seem to be prepared at all. This strange reaction aggravated the Asakura family samurai's feelings. Suspicious, Asakura Jingdong asked doubtfully: "What kind of trick is Xiang Yikui trying to show off? Is it a plan to lure the enemy deeper?"
"It doesn't look like it! You should be careful not to fall into Ichibuki's scheme!" Asakura Keitaka was also very confused about what Kaga Ichikui was trying to do, and carefully ordered: "Don't respond to orders without authorization. You are not allowed to leave your post without permission, and all warriors must keep their spirits up and never slack off."
In an inconspicuous village near Yoshizaki Obo in Sakai County, Echizen Province, dozens of farmers in tattered clothes and dirty faces gathered together and talked quietly. It seemed that the atmosphere of the conversation was very relaxed, and they were talking and laughing.
They don't look like rural farmers who are about to be attacked by war.
Judging from their appearance, they are just a group of ordinary farmers with no characteristics. They are small characters who will be forgotten in a short time in the village. If you want to say that they have any similarities, that is, they are both ordinary-looking and thin, but
A pair of eyes are not dull like ordinary farmers, but exude a shrewd look that cannot be concealed.
No one would have thought that they were the famous Kira ninjas, and no one would have imagined that this group of Kira ninjas had been lurking in this small mountain village for nearly a year. All the original villagers in the village were secretly controlled and transported to Vietnam to disperse and settle.
, all the villagers in the village, men, women, old and young, changed into Kira ninjas according to similar ages. This small mountain village with only a few dozen families inadvertently turned into a ninja village in Sakai County, Echizen Province.
As early as the beginning of the year, Kira Yoshitoki ordered to deal with the Kinai Three Kingdoms Alliance. The tone he set was to use diplomatic maneuvers to contain the Miyoshi family, use the threat of military war to suppress the Asai family, and use assassinations of Kira ninjas to disrupt the hiding place, etc.
Special methods were used to deal with the Asakura family. This strategy was carried out by different samurai in different steps. There were no special orders between them and they remained separate systems.
The Kira ninjas did not care about the execution of the other two steps, but they knew that the mission they were executing was going very smoothly. It was easy to just instigate a few dead soldiers who had been trained for many years to infiltrate the ranks of the Chinese people controlled by the Kira ninjas.
executed a perfect assassination plan.
For the Kira Ninjas, the only losses were the young samurai who joined the Kira family because of family hatred. Before performing their missions, they left descendants under the arrangement of the Kira Ninjas and received a high pension to ensure their own survival.
A child can grow up to be a samurai in peace, and then calmly make a commitment to voluntarily give up his life to carry out an assassination operation that is certain to lead to death.
The Asakura family's samurai's guess was very close to the truth. The Kira family was indeed involved in this operation. The only inaccurate point was that Kaga Ichikumune was not included in it. In the so-called Sanrihama riot incident, it was from beginning to end.
The assassination operation planned and executed by the Kira ninjas was just for the purpose of misleading the Asakura family's judgment by using the name of Kaga Ichikamune.
Kaga Ichikami has been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end. In order to ensure that the Yoshizaki Obo, which is across the river from Sakai County, as well as the officials in Sakai County and the people who are close to the Ichikcun family, know the relevant information, Kira
The ninjas mobilized no less than two hundred elite ninjas, as well as more low-level ninjas and countless peripheral members, to hide the truth of the Sanrihama riot incident.
This astonishing news was trimmed and artistically processed by the Kira ninjas, and then reached the ears of Chaoshengji Kyoyoshi and Shimona Yoriteru, who was in charge of Ono County.
The real situation became that the Asakura family's concubine, the young prime minister, was arrogant and arrogant. He repeatedly offended Akuhime verbally, which made the wife of the Asai family hold a grudge, so she thought of poisoning and killing this "vixen".
"The purpose of the young prime minister is to be able to exclusively favor Asakura Yoshikage and not share it with others.
And the young prime minister happened to have this intention, because no one in Echizen Kingdom knew that she was looking forward to becoming the royal wife, but she didn't want to find out that Akuhime was pregnant at the end of the day, which made her feel huge pressure and had to think about it.
Killing Akuji will allow you to be promoted to the royal wife smoothly. As a wife in a man's harem, there are few reliable ways to harm people. The most reliable and easiest to execute is poisoning.
Japanese samurai have always had a tradition of poisoning. Imagawa Ujiteru and his brother Imagawa Hikoro died on the same day in Odawara Castle. They were rumored to have been poisoned. The most commonly used venom was the poison of puffer fish, so they
This is a method that has been widely used since the Heian period, so two women with ulterior motives would mix poison into their daily diet and give it to each other.
In order to prevent unnecessary trouble caused by poisoning on the spot, they prepared a small amount of poison that would not cause death on the spot. So the next day, two people were poisoned and died at different times, causing riots. The Asakura family tried to cover up this huge incident.
scandal, the poisoning incident was described as being stabbed by unknown samurai.
Although it sounds like there are many flaws, the virtues of the samurai family are very clear from the monks of the sect. A samurai family like the Asakura family can do all kinds of weird things. Father and son become enemies and brothers become enemies.
What happened to Yu Qiang is not just once or twice. It may not be credible for two women to murder each other at the same time. It is more likely that there is some unpredictable palace conspiracy, but what does this have to do with Echizen Ichikou? It doesn't matter what they do.
.
So under the control of this conspiracy, it was so easy to deceive the monks, officials and other people of the Echizen Ichikai Sect, making them mistakenly think that the Asakura family was looking for a fig leaf to cover up all this, but they didn't know what was really going on.
The false information concealed a shocking conspiracy, and Echizen Ichimune had no idea that his fate had been quietly decided by the Kira family.
This group of Kira ninjas talked and laughed in low voices and occasionally looked outside the courtyard. After a while, a Yamabushi monk wearing a hat on his head and a conch hanging on his chest came out of the courtyard. He seemed to be asking for a drink from the water bowl.
When I entered the courtyard, I was a little surprised to see so many people, so I quickly put my hands together and saluted to express my apology. The ninjas pretending to be people-promoting ninjas were a little disappointed and brought tea for the Yamabushi monk to drink. The Yamabushi monk quickly saluted and thanked me.
After most of the pot of tea was drunk, the Yamabushi monk suddenly took off his hat, revealing a young face and long hair that should not exist on the monk's head. The Kira ninja was surprised for a moment and then hurriedly saluted.
: "I'll pay my respects to Hattori-don!"
Hattori Masashige is the executive officer of this operation. He is responsible for formulating, adjusting, supervising, punishing and many other powers. He has a great deterrent effect on these Kira ninjas. He just shook his head casually and said: "You are still too careless, thinking that I am just a person."
The Yamabushi monk let his guard down. How could he know that I was not a ninja sent by another samurai in this costume?
For example, the Genzaru ninjas in the same system are very good at dressing up as Yamabushi monks, and Kai's Tohaku are very good at dressing up as ronin samurai. Maybe the old people, children, wandering girls, etc. you have encountered may be enemy ninjas.
, if you don’t be vigilant, your own abilities will be exposed, which will cause huge harm to us ninjas."
The Kira ninjas were trained by him so that they did not dare to interrupt and defend themselves. As samurai of the famous Kira family, they naturally had to abide by a lot of rules, even for ninjas hiding in invisible places. This was different from the many ninjas in Koga and Iga. More
It relies on the prestige and ability of the Jonin clan leader to support the development of the village. This form is more similar to the Somura Group's elder system. The Kira family's ninja system is a system of the samurai family, which is free from the system of personal prestige supporting small groups.
.
Hattori Masashige slowly walked to the group of ninjas, carefully scanned the faces of each ninja as if to remember their similar looks, and then said slowly: "I know you are suffering and tired.
I have been living in a place without a shop for nearly a year. Any samurai would feel the pain of loss, but you must remember your identity. As a special samurai who can obtain meritorious service without going to the battlefield to kill enemies, what do you expect?
Isn’t it important that descendants have a status no less than those who are full of glory?
His Royal Highness can satisfy all your needs, whether it is the supply of status, money and food, or a platform for you to display your talents. However, as many rewards as there are, there must be an equal or even greater amount of dedication to give you what a warrior has.
The price of everything requires you to sacrifice your freedom and even your life. There is no such thing as a free lunch, you must understand it!"
"Ha! I understand!" The ninjas bowed and replied: "We have made the consciousness of sacrificing ourselves. Please give your instructions, Your Highness Hattori!"
Hattori Masashige laughed dumbly and said: "You have misunderstood! His Highness Minakata did not mean to sacrifice you, and I came here this time to wish you success in your actions in advance. His Highness Minakata praised you for doing a very good job, but you should not be complacent.
It is still necessary to be cautious and complete the remaining misleading actions. In addition, the plan to instigate the Asakura family must be suspended. The line close to Fukuoka Yoshikiyo must be hidden as soon as possible. The ultimate goal of everything is to preserve oneself. When necessary,
You can retreat urgently, but you must not make your own decisions and get involved in deeper turmoil and expose your hidden dangers."
Many Kira ninjas then bowed and agreed. As the first of the new generation among the Kira ninjas of the Kira family, Hattori Masashige was very understanding and very satisfied with the well-trained Kira ninjas. He had a very clear positioning of himself and the ninjas.
The hawks and minions of the Kira family do some inconvenient and destructive things for Kira.
He always firmly believes that everything in the world alternates back and forth like night and day. The shogunate needs benevolent teachers who can attack the enemy openly and honestly, and it also needs ninja Ranbo who hides in the corner to spy on intelligence and kill people. No matter their names change to
No matter what it looks like, there are always some people who will still do these dirty jobs.
Hattori Masashige will soon take over the position of leader of the Iga ninjas from his uncle Hattori Masakiyoshi. At that time, he will become the second generation Hattori Hanzo and lead hundreds of elite ninjas to gallop on the invisible battlefield to show their prowess.
Before that, all he had to face was the level in front of him, which was equivalent to a personal assessment for him.
From an angle that the Kira ninjas could not see, Hattori Masashige secretly let out a sigh of relief: "His Royal Highness Kōkata is only responsible for giving me a few key points of information, as well as a first draft of Mogami Kyozoden's plan. I will leave the rest to you.
Let go and execute your own ideas. This is trust and pressure! Fortunately, I survived in the end! The next step is unilateral inducement, and triggering an internal riot to cooperate with Kansukeden's military operations.
