Asakura Sodr, formerly known as Asakura Kyokei, is the son of Asakura Toshikei (Yinglin Xiaojing), who promulgated the "Seventeen Articles of Asakura Toshikei", and is also the grandfather of the current lord Asakura Takakei.

Originally, the family name of the Asakura family was supposed to be inherited by Asakura Munoe, but because Asakura Toshikyo was only four years old when Asakura Toshikyo died. Because he was too young, the name of the Asakura family was inherited by his brother Asakura Clan Kei (Asakura Takakei's grandfather).

In 1503, the lord of Tsuruga Castle, Asakura Keitoyo, rebelled, and Asakura Keitoyo's sister was the wife of Asakura Sotoyo, so he asked Asakura Sotsu to support Asakura Keitoyo. However, Asakura Sodra refused his wife's request and became a monk at Longxing Temple. Later, he reported to the then governor of the Asakura family, Asakura Sadakei (the father of Asakura Takakei), and forced Asakura Keitoyo to commit suicide, stabilizing the Asakura family. Therefore, Asakura Munetsu was later appointed as the secretary of Tsuruga Prefecture and was fully responsible for the military affairs of the Asakura clan.

And the battle of Asakura Muneto's fame was in the 3rd year of Eisho (1506 AD), and Kaga's Ichijo sect sent troops to Echizen. At that time, Kaga Ichijomune claimed to have an army of 300,000 troops, and finally Asakura Munetsu led 11,000 troops to repel Ichijomune at the Kuzuri River. Since then, Asakura Sodrip has become famous and is known as the god of the Echizen army.

After that, Asakura Sodra also led troops to support the Wakasa Takeda family in attacking Tango and other places, and also contributed to the Toki civil strife, and fought continuously throughout his life. In 1527, he relinquished the position of Tsuruga Commander to his adopted son Asakura Keiki (son of Asakura Sadakei), and only served as the military commissioner of the Asakura family.

The governor of the Asakura family did not lead troops during the war, and all affairs were fully entrusted to the military commissioner, and this special situation also made the successive heads of the Asakura family quite constrained.

Hiyoshi Shrine is located on the shores of Lake Biwa in Omi, and from Ichijoya Castle, you must first pass through Tsuruga County, the territory of Asakura Soshi. At this point, the head of Saionji Temple, Takagi Yoshitoki and others left for Kyoto first, while Tsugawa Soji and his entourage followed Asakura Sotetsu to Omi Sakamoto.

At this time, Sakamoto did not have the Sakamoto Castle built by Akechi Mitsuhide in history. Although the scenery along Lake Biwa is beautiful, so that Tsugawa Soji, who has been watching the snow scenery in Dewa for several years, has the feeling of being in a paradise, but tomorrow will be the succession ceremony of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and the group will run all the way in order to catch up with the time, and there is no time to see these scenery.

Originally, Tsugawa Soharu's plan was to go to the Asakura family and then make a detour to Wakasa Province and then go directly to Kyoto. However, what Tsugawa Soharu didn't know was that the Ashikaga Yoshiharu father and son, the general of the Seiyi at this time, had long since lived in Kyoto, but had been wandering around Omi.

Speaking of Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the two fathers and sons, it can be described as a history of blood and tears!

In the first year of Daiei, the shogun at that time, Ashikaga Yoshinori, "ran away" from Kyoto when the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Go-Kashiwahara was about to be held. As a result, Emperor Go-Kashiwahara directly asked Hosokawa Takakuni to be in charge of the succession ceremony!

At the same time, Hosokawa Takakuni took the opportunity to propose the removal of Ashikaga Yoshinori as the shogun and his succession to Ashikaga Yoshiharu. Considering Hosokawa Takakuni's strength at that time, no one dared to oppose it at all, so Ashikaga Yoshiharu's position as general was also due to Hosokawa Takakuni.

But the good times didn't last long, and in the 6th year of Oei, Hosokawa Takakoku's retainer Kasai Motomori was killed, and civil strife broke out in the Hosokawa family. Hosokawa Harumoto and Miyoshi Gencho fought against Hosokawa Takakuni based on Riyoshi, and Kasai Motomori's two brothers, Tanba's Hatano Minotsu and Yanagimoto Kenji, also rebelled against Hosokawa Takakuni.

After that, Hosokawa Takakuni was repeatedly defeated by Hosokawa Harumoto and died in defeat. Ashikaga Yoshiharu, who had lost his backer, began to wander in Omi, but in the end, the Rokkaku family and the Wakasa Takeda family sent troops to help Ashikaga Yoshiharu return to Kyoto.

Ashikaga Yoshiharu even married the daughter of the Konoe family as the main house, trying to rely on the power of the imperial court to consolidate the power of the shogunate, but unfortunately he failed.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's life was also bumpy, and when he was a child, he passed on to his maternal grandfather Konoe Natho as an adopted son. Later, Ashikaga Yoshiharu confronted Hosokawa Harumoto, and in the 10th year of Astronomical (1541 AD), Ashikaga Yoshiharu was defeated, and Ashikaga Yoshiharu fled to Omi with Ashikaga Yoshiharu.

The following year, he returned to Kyoto with Ashikaga Yoshiharu, but in the twelfth year of Astronomy, he fled again with Ashikaga Yoshiharu to Omi Kuchigi Valley. It can be said that Ashikaga Yoshiteru's childhood was spent on the run.

At this time, it was completely the world of the Hosokawa family, and the authority of the shogun was gone. Even daimyo such as Rokkaku Joyori, who supported the shogunate, were actually just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to share a wave of soup, and the people who really worked for the shogunate could not be said to be none, but only to a minimum.

Under such circumstances, Ashikaga Yoshiharu felt powerless, so he decided to hand over the position of shogun to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

The person who presided over the Ashikaga Yoshiteru Motofu ceremony was Rokkaku Joyori, the powerful daimyo of Omi. Rokkaku Dinglai is a generation of male lords of the Omi Roxagonal family, who has just inherited the position of the family governor, and the Rokkaku family is under the enemy.

At that time, the political situation in Kyoto was extremely chaotic, with the threat of Hosokawa and Miyoshi in the west, and the covetousness of Asai Ryomasa in Kita-Omi, and the life of the Rokkaku family was not easy. As a result, Rokkaku Joyori immediately turned back and reconciled with the Hosokawa clan and concentrated on dealing with the Asai clan.

In the fifth year of Daiei (1525), the fourth year of Xiangroku (1531), and the seventh year of Tentenku (1538), he defeated the Asai family three times, forcing Asai Ryomasa (Asai Nagamasa's grandfather) to surrender, and the Asai family became a subordinate of the Rokkaku family.

Since then, the Rokkaku family has become the leading daimyo in the region and has played a vital role in stabilizing the situation in the region!

In the Hiyoshi Shrine, in addition to Rokkaku Jorai and the retainers of the Rokkaku family, many forces from neighboring areas sent people to congratulate them. Some came in person, while others sent envoys to deliver congratulatory gifts.

Among them, Takeda Nobutoyo, the head of the Wakasa Takeda clan, Uetsuna Kuchigi Uetsuna, the lord of Omi Shimizuyama Castle, Takashima Takaken, etc., are considered to be high-status people, but there are only a few people. It can also be seen from this that the authority of the shogunate has fallen to such a degree, and the inauguration ceremony of the shogun is so small that there are three daimyo present.

In the courtyard of Hiyoshi Shrine, Kikutomaru, who is 11 years old, sits under an ancestral tree in a wide suit. First, there was no extra money, and there was no time to prepare, so I could only temporarily find a set of clothes that didn't fit and put them on Ju Tong Maru.

The former general Ashikaga Yoshiharu sat not far away with a red face, trying his best to maintain the majesty of the shogun, but after all, he was a little lacking in confidence, and from time to time he had to look at the eyes of the hexagonal Yoshihari beside him.

Behind Ashikaga Yoshiharu, Kyogoku Takayoshi, Mibuchi Haruto, Wada Yumasa, Kusunoki Masatora and other retainers also sat down with a look on their faces, looking at the food placed in the distance, just waiting for the end of the Yuan Dress + Succession Hall before rushing up to eat a full meal.

Behind Ashikaga Yoshiharu's side, there are many weaker nationals, such as Morita Kizumo, Ueda Mitsuji and others. These people are completely invited by the hexagonal to come and make up the numbers, after all, the general's succession ceremony can't be too deserted, right?

Of course, for Morita Jingyun and others, being able to participate in the grand general Zhengyi's Yuan dress ceremony and succession ceremony is also a good thing that can blow for a lifetime!

And at this time......
