Chapter 476: Yijing's Anger
The only thing Asakura Yoshikyo has done these days is to curse the crazy growler who should kill the Ichijo Sect, and viciously curse the Ichikozong to cut off the children and grandchildren with thousands of knives, until the genealogy in the Ichicheng Valley is a little unbearable, and several words of persuasion persuaded the angry Asakura Yoshikei, how can the family governor not be able to calm down and calm the people of the retainers who are in turmoil, even if he is angry, the family governor can't show his expression, because he represents not only personal emotions, but also the final attitude of the samurai of the Asakura family.
Anyway, I persuaded Asakura Yoshikei to come back, and invited him to the assessment room to hold the first assessment meeting since the riot, and the lord of the family reported the losses in the Sanrihama Dog Chase Conference, and the war dead were mainly some foreign people, and the biggest loss was the accidental death of the Fukuoka Yoshiya family, as well as the death of the two ladies.
The three-day conference was interrupted by the raid before it was finished, and the actual property damage caused was not serious, it was nothing more than the medical treatment of some of the wounded and the buildings damaged in the riot, but the mental trauma caused by the riot to the Asakura family was huge, and the retainers of the genealogy were talking to appease the governor, trying to prove that the riot was not as severe as imagined with a small economic loss.
Under the efforts of several generations of family elders to appease, the strange atmosphere in the assessment room was gradually diluted a lot, Asakura Jingjing sat in the front row seriously, quietly glanced at the Asakura Yoshijing who was high in the whole seat, saw his puffy fat face and dull eyes, and secretly sneered: "It's really not serious, it's just the death of two ladies and a cronie." ”
Fukuoka Ishimi Mamoru Yoshikiyoshi didn't seem to be satisfied with the understatement of these lineage family elders, and snorted: "I have always been so bold that I dare to go to my Echizen's hinterland to bring wilderness!" They have also caused a shocking disaster, and they must be resolutely retaliated against in response to their vicious actions! His Majesty implored the lord to deal a comprehensive blow to Kaga Ichimune. It is imperative to completely cut off the cancer that has been rampant in Hokuriku Province for decades. To comfort the dead who died in this riot. ”
He is the leader of the Asakura Yoshikei Ministers. It can be seen from the fact that he has a "Yoshi" character that originally belonged to the shogun's family, and Asakura Yoshikei specially bought a "Yoshi" character from the shogunate for this favored minister, and he has always acted as an important close minister in the Asakura family to communicate inside and outside.
Fukuoka Yoshikiyo's real name is Fukuoka Yoshikiyo, his brother Fukuoka Yoshisumi died in the battle of Sugaguchi five years ago, and his brother Fukuoka Yoshikiyoshi died in the riots caused by Kaga Ichimune a few days ago, and the two most talented younger brothers in the family died at the hands of Kaga Ichimune, so it is no wonder that he would risk the strong dissatisfaction of the retainers of the family to poke this hornet's nest.
However, his actions angered the elders of the Asakura family, and the Yamazaki Nagato Moriyoshi family said dissatisfiedly, "Iwami Mamoru should know that the strategy formulated by the previous Kokeiten was to expand westward and annex Wakasa Province. The Triple Alliance at the beginning of the year was further strengthened in accordance with this strategy. If it can really be destroyed, why drag it out to this day. ”
Kobayashi Beichu Moriyoshicho, a member of the performers, retorted: "Nagato Shouden is not right, there is a common proverb in the Ming Kingdom that this time and that time, when the Emperor of Zong Di was alive, although my Asakura family was able to suppress the Kaga Ichizo clan to gain an advantage, but at that time, the Kaga Ichijo clan was definitely not as weak as it is today, and the Kaga Banguo Ono Bangun, together was less than 200,000 koku. Feeding 780,000 Kaga has always been difficult, and besides, my Asakura family is now allied with the two powerful countries of Kinai. It's a great time to get ahead of Kaga! ”
The elders of the Asakura family, Sakurai Shinzaemon Mototada, said: "Then the Bichu Moriden knows that the cause of all this situation is the Echigo Kira family, and Kaga Bankoku is a piece of fat that the Kira family deliberately put in front of my Asakura family, which is deliberately tempting my Asakura family to do something to Kaga.
As long as we adjust our strategy to Hokuriku Province and do our best to expel the Ichijang clan in Echizen, it will cause serious turmoil among the people of the Ichijo clan in Ono County, and Kaga Ichijo will definitely not be able to stand still, and Shimoma Yorisho and Chaokatsuji Kyoyoyoshi will definitely go all out against our Asakura family, and at that time, it will not be said that the war can be resolved in a year and a half, even in three years, five years, or even ten or eight years. ”
Sakurai Mototada was born as a close confidant of Asakura Takakei and served as the governor of Mikunato Mikunato in Echizen's second largest port, whether it was out of support for the military and political strategy set by the late lord Asakura Takakei more than ten years ago, or out of Yoshizaki Gobo, the base camp of Echizen Ichijo Shomune in Mikuni County, as long as the Asakura family launched an attack on Kaga Ichijomune, it would inevitably affect the development of free trade in Mikunamine, which was something that the government did not want to see.
Asakura Yoshikage, who was close to everyone and was also a powerful countryman, glanced at Sakurai Mototada and asked in surprise, "Why did Sakurai Hall say this?" The two wives of the lord died in the Sanrihama riots, especially Mrs. Satani died in her youth, and the other Mrs. Asai was already pregnant with the lord's child, Mrs. Asai is the solid foundation of the Triple Alliance, and the death of Mrs. Asai also means that the relationship between the Triple Alliance has been flawed, I believe that at this time, Kotani Hall has been informed of the news of his sister's death, if Kotani Temple asks it, how should we deal with it? ”
Maeba Jingding, one of the four commissioners of the Ichijo Valley, agreed: "The question of the Asai family is indeed a troublesome question! The Asai family's Kotani Hall is young and promising, and the talent is extraordinary, a few days ago, he fought a shocking battle in the Battle of Norata, defeated Rokkaku Kyozhao and his 20,000 troops to establish the dominant position of the Rokkaku family in Omi Province, and the next step should be to fully dominate Omi and become another Kinai hero, if Kotani Hall is exhausted, it will definitely become very tricky! ”
The samurai in the assessment room were all extremely shrewd, and they couldn't see that the former wave was fixed in the mud, and Aoki Hayato Sakeyasu didn't seem to hear the words of the mud, and continued: "Revenge has always been inevitable, but we must grasp a measure, you must know that my Asakura family can't afford to resist the turmoil of Echizen now.
If you really plan to start a full-scale war with Echizen Ichimune, you must be prepared to pay huge losses, including the control of the Three Kingdoms and the painstakingly managed Wakasa Province, and presumably the prefectures should know that Takeda Yoshitomi is the governor of the family who was supported by our Asakura family, and if they can't make good use of it, it is very likely that they will take advantage of the Kira family in Maizuru Port. ”
In just a short period of time, the Kira family was mentioned twice, which made many generations of the Asakura family frown, perhaps the Kira family has always regarded the Kinai Triple Alliance as a huge trouble, but on the other hand, for the Asakura family, this Kira family is also a huge shadow buried in their hearts.
The Asakura family is located in Echizen, unlike the Miyoshi family sitting in Settsu, or the Asai family who has always been staring at the Rokkaku family's one-acre and three-point struggle, they are located in the westernmost part of Hokuriku Province and can directly feel the strong pressure from Hokuriku Province, a few years ago they may have felt that the Kira family was still far away from them, but with the rout of Kaga, not only lost the western part of Echichi, but also gave the eastern part of Kaga to the Kira family.
This also means that the Kira family is close to Echizen Province, as long as any merchant traveler only needs to sail north from the Three Kingdoms for one day, they will enter the Kira's family's Motoyoshiminato, such a short distance can almost achieve the morning and evening, how can the Asakura family feel at ease with such a strong enemy on the side.
What's more, it is an indisputable fact that the Kira Navy dominates the northern seas, and no one expected that the Kira family would build a powerful naval army composed of hundreds of large and small ships in just a few years, and in one fell swoop the Tsuruga Navy completely dominate the Hokuriku Province, and now it is extending its tentacles to the Maizuru Port in Tango Province, which is equivalent to finding a transit port for troop transportation in the region, which will not only affect the safety of the waters of Wakasa Bay, but also give the Asakura family huge pressure on the land route.
Whether it is the Kinai Triple Alliance, or the establishment of a Sekisho to threaten the Kira family, it is nothing more than trying to curb the deterioration of the Kinai form while the Kira family has no time to look westward, saying that the Kira family only has a territory of four million stones, but how many families in the world have a territory of five countries, or a powerful daimyo with millions of stones?
The finished Yamana family counts as one, the Niko family of Yin and Yang Ichi Taishou counts as one, the former overlord Ouchi family counts as one, the overlord Miyoshi family in Kinai counts as one, and others such as the Maori family and the Otomo family are still far behind, and the originally promising Hojo family also lost to the Kira family, so there are only a few samurai families in the whole world who can wrestle with the Kira family.
If the Asakura family can annex Wakasa Province and Tango Province and then clean up the Kaga Ichijomune, they may consider breaking their wrists with the Kira family, but at the moment, only Echizen Country is still occupied by Echizen Ichishomune, and it really doesn't have the courage to make a comprehensive turn with the Kira family.
Asakura Yoshikage's uncle, the lord of Echizen Oda Castle, Asakura Keinobu, said: "The Kira family's threat to me is too great, and Kaga has always been even more difficult to deal with after receiving the support of the Kira family.
As several highnesses have said, if we decide to go to war with Kaga Ichichi, what if the Kira family fully supports Kaga Ichichi? To fight or not to fight, how to fight, to what extent to be satisfied, if the Kira family really intervenes in the progress of the war, how much support can be given to us within the Triple Alliance system, and how much will we gain and how much will we lose?
