The war of the past hundred years has made the Kwantung samurai relatively sluggish to the changes in, and the samurai of the eastern country are more focused on the development of the territory and the survival of the family business.

It is certain that the Takeda family is indeed in a hurry, otherwise they would not have taken the initiative to come to Kasuga Mountain Castle to bow their heads and give in, just looking at the fact that the main envoy is Takeda Nobuyoshi, a powerful sect that has dealt with the Kira family, you can know how complicated Takeda Shingen's mood is at this moment, and there is a reason to be sure that Takeda Shinshihiro will not let him wait too long.

It is true that Takeda Nobuhiro anxiously contacted Kai to report the latest news, and he himself has been trying to do diplomacy in Kasuga Mountain Castle, hoping to get a more favorable negotiation treatment, but the reality is so cruel, the Takeda family simply does not have enough bargaining chips to negotiate terms with the Kira family, and many actions have ended in hitting a wall.

It wasn't until more than half a month later that the messenger of the Takeda family, who was late for the arrival, followed the messenger to send an order to agree to the Kira family's request, and when Takeda Nobuhiro tried to calm down the anxiety in his heart and came to Kasuga Mountain Castle to meet Kirayoshi, after some politeness from the guest and host, he came up with his final conditions: "Although the lord of my family agrees to the request of the town government, I still hope that the Kira family can give some compensation, and the lord means to follow the way of the Kira family in Kurita-gun, Omi Province, and exchange money and rice and medicine for the territory of Ina County." ”

"Do you want a decent retreat?" The Takeda family made concessions without accident, and Kira Yoshitoki said with a smile without much thought: "Yu can give accommodation, then use 100,000 stone of grain." Yongle money is 20,000 yuan. 1,000 pieces of medicine in exchange for Ina County! I heard that in the past few years, Kai has been plagued by disasters and epidemics year after year. Giving more medicinal herbs should be accumulating virtue and doing good. ”

"Thank you, Zhenfu!" Takeda Nobuyoshi you will be stupid enough to ask why the money given is only half of the Rokkaku, just think about it can guess that the Kira family does not care too much about this transaction, and it is already a very good treatment to give a half, if the Takeda family does not know the current affairs, it does not mind directly rushing to the hands of the Takeda family to forcibly seize it.

As soon as the contradictions on the land disappeared, the peace negotiations were smoothly negotiated, and the specific terms of the peace agreement were nothing new, except that the two sides would strike a truce from now on and gradually reduce the number of defenders on the border, gradually establish harmonious mutual trust, and there would be no corresponding countermeasures, so as to ensure the absolute tranquility of Kai Shinano.

That night, a regular dinner was held in the west hall of the mountain city in the spring to celebrate the harmony between the two families. Numata Mitsukane's live performance of exquisite ape music skills won the applause of the audience, and Takeda Nobuyoshi suddenly said to Kira Yoshitoki: "It has only been ten years since the rise of the Jinfu Gong in Hokuriku has brought a new wave to the Eastern Kingdom, in fact, we Kai samurai greatly admire the martial arts of the Zhenfu Gong, and the Antai of the Eastern Kingdom will pin its trust on the Zhenfu Gong's control of the chaos.

Recently, my lord received an invitation to the covenant from Kinai, which was a handwritten letter from the powerful Miyoshi Repair Doctor Hall in Kinai to my lord, in which he mentioned that he invited the Takeda family to form an anti-Kira siege network, and said that he had already sent invitations to the Sagami Hojo clan, the Dewa Onodera clan, the Date clan, the Mutsu Ashina clan, the Omi Asai clan, and the Echizen Asakura clan. So he verbally refused his invitation, and reminded the town government here. ”

Takeda's words were not loud. But the ears of many generations of family elders were like a spring thunder explosion, and the sound of whispering and laughing and dancing disappeared for a while. Kira Yoshitoki held the wine glass and froze at his lips for a long time, the smile on his face had not yet dissipated, but the little cold light in his eyes flickered uncertainly, but it had already revealed the anger in his heart.

"Click!" The delicate ceramic wine glass shattered, Kira Yoshitoki sat up straight with a cold face, and the retainers of the spectrum also hurriedly dropped the wine glass and sat down honestly, and the ape musician hurriedly withdrew under the guidance of Numata Mitsukane, and the doors and windows of the hall were opened, blowing a cold cold wind, instantly taking away the temperature in the room.

"Thank you for the reminder from the Stable Palace, I will not accompany you if you are unwell, so let's stop here today!" Ji Liang Yishi got up, waved his robe, and strode away, and the retainers of the spectrum also got up and retired.

He was the only one left in the hall that was still lively just now, and Takeda Nobuyhiro silently looked at the sudden change, looked back at the crowd that was gradually moving away, and secretly thought to himself: "Is it still an impact?" But is this influence coming from Kanto or Kinai? ”

Kira Yoshitoki's character has always been resolute and resolute, and he will never allow being blackmailed and threatened by villains, which is quite similar to his brother-in-law Ashikaga Yoshiki, this time Miyoshi Nagakei had to touch his reverse scales and successfully provoke him again, so that he made up his mind to fight a limited war, and the next morning to send off Takeda Nobuyoshige's exerciser, he immediately convened a review meeting.

Even if he moved the wrath of the thunder, he would not leave any mercy, and Kira Yoshishi immediately ordered with a cold face: "Yu's mind must be changed!" The total population of the three counties of Omi is exactly more than 250,000, and there should be no problem in levying military service according to the current standard of one out of ten, and the master craftsman needs to train 25,000 elite divisions who can fight well in Sakamoto, so the 5,000 troops who survived the battle of Luozhong should be the backbone! ”

Yamamoto Tokiko's eyebrows raised and he quickly nodded in response, Honda Tokimasa's gaze swept over the many samurai present, and finally shook his head and said: "I have 60,000 tiger ben in the Ashikaga family, but it is really annoying that I can't easily mobilize them, all of you are powerful generals who are famous in Kanto, but my strategy of going south to Kanto cannot be moved lightly at present, and the generals who are familiar with the form of Kinai are all ...... Wait a minute! I wonder if His Royal Highness can let Nakajo Dewa Shouden make another call? ”

Kira Yoshitoki turned his head sideways and asked, "Do you mean to let Shihide continue to serve as a general in Omi?" ”

"That's okay, but Your Majesty thinks that Nakajo Dewa Shouden can sneak into Wakasa Province with 3,000 troops, and cooperate with my Kira Navy to pull out Maizuru Port, another important trade center in Wakasa Bay, so that this sentence can directly impact the dominance of the Asakura family in Wakasa Bay, I believe that I will wait a little bit to completely disclose the contradictions, and the Asakura Kingo Hall will inevitably suffer from gains and losses, don't dare to act rashly!"

Hondo was squinting his eyes and smiling like a fox. So that Takikawa Shiyi, who was sitting across from him, couldn't help but turn his face sideways and not look at him. secretly wondered in his heart how this guy has become more and more gloomy over the years. Even the smile was a little cunning and ruthless, and Honda behind Takikawa Tokiyoshi turned his face and grimaced at his brother Honda Tokimasa.

Langoka Langfang shook his feather fan and smiled: "What Shi Zhengdian said is good, His Majesty heard that Asakura Jingu is an indecisive and soft-eared family governor, and the actual authority of the family is controlled by the Tsuruga County Division Asakura Keiki, the Ono County Division Asakura Jingjing, and the Ashiwa County Division Asakura Jingtaka, the relationship between these three is actually very delicate, since the former Tsuruga County Division Asakura Sodrip died of illness, the current Tsuruga County Division Asakura Keiki did not get the position of the acting general of the Asakura family's army.

The power of the military dynasty fell into the hands of the relatively weak Asakura Jinglong, and you must know that Asakura Keiki is the biological uncle of Asakura Jingoden. And Asakura Keitaka is just a concubine, this general was originally the position of the Tsuruga Commandery, but he was forcibly taken from his uncle Asakura Keiki by Asakura Jingden and given to his distant cousin Asakura Keitaka, if there is no problem, I'm afraid no one will believe it, right? ”

Shima Shikatsu and Takigawa Tokiyoshi were mixed up all day long, and his temper gradually became stained with his wanton fanfare, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this Asakura Yoshiki crazy?" Asakura Sect took away the general belonging to the Tsuruga Prefecture Division before the bones were cold, is this a deliberate attempt to challenge the dominance of the Tsuruga family? I don't understand what good it is for him to shake the pillar stone of the Asakura family so much? ”

"There is an even more interesting thing, that is, to vigorously reuse the Ono County Division Asakura Jingjing, this person is also the brother of Asakura Yoshikage, his father Asakura Keiga and the family governor Asakura Takakei and Tsuruga County Division Asakura Keiki are the brothers of the same mother, but this Asakura Keiga may feel that he is quite powerful at home and competes with Asakura Takakei for the position of family governor. After the defeat, Ono was also deposed.

This person did not give up and went to Kyoto to try to contact the governor and the secretary to seek the position of governor, because of the leakage of confidential information, he was notified by the shogunate that Asakura Takakei was exiled from Echizen and was not allowed to return. This man still did not give up and found the Spo clan and Honganji Temple Evidence in an attempt to launch an invasion of Echizen, but he was defeated one after another, his prestige was lost, and he attracted the disgust of the Asakura family, and finally died of illness in Sakai Town more than ten years ago. ”

Honjo pouted and said: "Even such a criminal son can continue to rush to serve as the commander of Ohno County, in my opinion, the political level of this Asakura Yoshikage is really worrying!" This Aakura Jingjing's boyhood must have been encircled and focused on surveillance, and Asakura Yoshikei wouldn't have released him and reappointed him as the Ono County Division, right? ”

Hontashi grinned and said, "Dewa Mamoru is right, that's exactly what Asakura Jingo Hall did!" It seems that Asakura Jingo Hall is quite complacent about this move, thinking that this is a manifestation of being a family governor who is humble and ignorant of his past suspicions, maybe he thinks that saving his brother from the cage and entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, will definitely make Asakura Jingjing throw himself to the ground as a grateful governor! ”

Dao Shisheng sneered: "It's really moving! If you were an ordinary samurai, you would be grateful! But is it really no problem to use the Asakura Jingjing, who was close to adulthood when his father rebelled? If you are imprisoned for a few more years and released, you will definitely be ridiculed by the generations of your family! Asakura Jinwu Hall may only be busy using his power tricks, but he didn't pay attention to his release, but it will bring a greater psychological burden to Asakura Jingjing, and the more Asakura Jingo Hall is promoted and reused, the more it will appear that Asakura Jingjing is a courtier, then the consequences will inevitably be terrible! ”

There are many more whimsical behaviors of Asakura Yoshikage.,Including the reuse of the favorite concubine of the little prime minister's father Kura Tani Tsuchichi, there are many absurd and bizarre behaviors.,Of course, his strange behavior will cause disputes in the family again and again.,The external situation that was not very peaceful in Echizen became even more uncertain because of the absurd behavior of the family governor.,

Although Asakura Yoshikei has been working hard to toss people, it has not actually affected the actions of the Asakura family's namesake to control the military and political power, and the Onozhong led by the Ono Gun Division in the northeastern part of Echizen, and the Tsuruga people led by the Tsuruga Gun, the most important and prosperous Tsuruga County Division in the southwestern part of Echizen, still have an absolute advantage, and these two are also called the two inner people.

Langoka said again: "I can't see if it will become very terrible for the time being, but I can guarantee that the Tsuruga County Division Asakura Jingji is very angry, and the dignified family is the adopted son of the Northern Army God Asakura Zongdi, and he has succeeded to the Tsuruga County Division as early as thirty years ago, and the prestige and influence in the family are definitely above Asakura Jinglong, as for the hairy boy of Asakura Jingjing, it is even more difficult to pat the horse."

But the more this happens, the more embarrassing it becomes that the position of Asakura Keiji is embarrassed, and seeing that the governor has no intention of appeasing and redeeming, Asakura Keiki announced on the first time that he will pass on the family governor to his sister-in-law Asakura Keiji, and he only controls the position of Tsuruga Keiji as a temporary excess, which means that he is seeking a reason to give up the general with dignity, and then pushes his sister-in-law Asakura Keigan to the front to compete for the position of the commander-in-chief. ”

At this time, even Saito Asanobu laughed out loud: "This His Royal Highness Asakura Keiki is really enough, the adopted son of the dignified Northern Army God was forced by the family governor to retreat in this way, Asakura Yoshikage, the family governor is really stupid enough, his uncle clearly has no dissenting intentions and has to persecute again and again, forcing people into the corner and not giving them down the steps, he is violating the taboo of my martial arts family!" ”

The so-called samurai taboo is a conventional rule, and many other entries do not matter, but only one of the "imperial grace and dedication" system established by the source Yoritomo must not be shaken, the so-called royal grace is popularly explained that meritorious service must be rewarded, and fighting for the loyalty of the Kawachi Genji is to obtain a new favor reward as the ultimate goal, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is a contractual relationship rather than a unilateral foolish loyalty, which is why the samurai family will quickly unite under the banner of the Minamoto Yoritomo and then under the banner of the Ashikaga clan.

Asakura Yoshikei is certainly not qualified to unite all kinds of samurai under his own banner, but it does not mean that there is no existence of imperial grace within the Echizen Asakura clan, and the contractual relationship between monarchs and ministers has been developed and perfected for hundreds of years, and has long been immersed in the bone marrow and blood of each samurai with the inheritance of the family lineage.

This Asakura Left Guard Governor has done a ridiculous act of not rewarding his own uncle and not punishing him, which is also thanks to Asakura Jingji is a loyal elder who did not turn his face because of this, if it was replaced by other martial artists, he would have raised the anti-flag of the early master's family, but this Asakura Yoshikage even ignored the olive branch handed over by his uncle without realizing it, which is really incredible.
