Asakura Yoshikage felt deeply humiliated and annoyed, and under the answers of the old countrymen of the Spectrum Family, he deeply felt that as a powerful daimyo of, there was so much helplessness, and no one dared to mention in front of him how the Asakura family could not do it, and what he heard in his ears was always how powerful the Asakura family was.

He often praised the greatness of the Asakura family in front of him, most often mentioning how strong the political influence of the Asakura family was in Kinai, how far-reaching the economic influence of the Hokuriku was, and how far the Tsuruga Port of Echizen Province could easily choke the lifeblood of the Kira family's maritime trade, so the Asakura family was the least afraid of the existence of the Kira family among all the samurai families in Kinai, and only a slight threat would force the Kira family to succumb.

But everything he heard and saw now told him profoundly, what he heard and saw before seemed to be illusions, and the Asakura family was facing many crises from the inside out, and the Echizen Ichichi Ichijo in Echizen Sakai-gun, Ono County and other places needed to be eradicated, and the Kaga Ichi-ichi, Echigo Kira family and Wakasa Takeda clan needed to deal with externally.

In terms of the family's development strategy, it is contrary to his will for revenge, and the topic of debate between the retainers and the people of the country is how to take revenge on Kaga, whether to fight one war after another, or to launch an all-out war to strike hard at Kaga's arrogance.

Just when Asakura Yoshikyo was hesitating, his father-in-law, Kuraya Tsuchichi, suddenly cried and said, "What do you mean, gentlemen? My poor daughter died at the hands of the rebels who had always been in trouble, and she was the daughter of my Ashikaga family! Isn't Jinwudian the most beloved by her? Do you want my poor daughter to die in vain? ”

Asakura Yoshikage was immediately reminded of the woman he had loved for many years, and he was already ready to straighten the little prime minister as the wife of the main room. I had no choice but to suddenly kill an Ajiu Ji who was much worse in appearance and temper. can only carelessly comfort his beloved woman and wait patiently. But I don't want to wait for this kind of opportunity, which is the eternal separation of heaven and man, and never see each other.

Thinking of the tragic situation when the little prime minister died, the anger that had just been suppressed in Asakura Yoshikage's chest rose again, and he shouted angrily: "The traitor of Kaga Ichishozong killed the beloved little prime minister of the family!" Our family will not tolerate the murderer going unpunished! I have to take revenge on Kaga, and I must give him a good look! ”

There are not too many expressions in the foreign country, but the retainers of the spectrum are a little unhappy, obviously two ladies died and one of them is Mrs. Asai who is pregnant, but Asakura Yoshikage's eyes are only a woman with the little prime minister, if Asai Nagamasa knows that his sister is so worthless. It will certainly cause unnecessary diplomatic disputes.

The lord of Kitanosho Castle, Asakura Tosa, guarded Jingxing, and said tactfully: "I am deeply touched by the mood of the lord, and it is really a huge disaster for Mrs. Asai to die in Sanrihama while pregnant with His Royal Highness's child, so it is better to take this opportunity to officially inform Kotani Hall so that the Asai family knows my resolute attitude towards the Kura family." ”

Asakura Yoshikage knew that this was a tactful persuasion by Brother Yu not to be emotional, but his heart seemed to be drained away with the death of the little prime minister, and he didn't have the heart to think about more flexibility at all, waved his hand and said, "...... So do it! The family is also tired, you can discuss it for a while, take out a piece of Chen Youshi and hand it over to the family, and the rest of the assessment will be left to you! ”

"Your Majesty sends off your lord." The samurai hurriedly bowed, and Kuraya Tsuguchi, who had a very special status and was independent of the Asakura family system, also retired on the grounds of sadness. The eyes of many people in the queue fell on the triumphant Fukuoka Yoshikiyo, but there was a little contempt and looming malice in these eyes.

Watching Asakura Yoshikei just leave. Fukuoka Yoshikiyo couldn't wait to sit upright, coughed and reminded: "The meaning of the lord must be clear!" The hatred between Mrs. Asai and Mrs. Satani must be avenged, and the younger brother under him can't die in vain, so he must beat Kaga Ichimatsu, and he must be beaten hard, and how to fight it, please tell you! ”

Fukuoka Yoshikiyo's transgression caused displeasure among the two inner congregations and many of the elders of the lineage, and as a result, no one answered for nearly a quarter of an hour after he finished speaking, either pretending to be thinking about the problem or wandering into the world, clearly despising him as the leader of the performers of inferior status.

And the other members of the musicians have been nesting in Ichijo Valley City for more than ten years, and they are playing with Asakura Yoshikage every day, changing their ways to go abroad to make the governor happy, where do they understand things about military affairs, can exhaustively search their memories and come up with a few decent words or some words from Asakura Yoshikage's gossip, let them come up with an effective way to deal with Kaga, it is really unrealistic, if they really have this ability, maybe they will let Asakura Yoshikage be sent out as a military representative.

I don't have the ability to say that I don't know how to say it, and those who have the ability to deliberately pretend to be stupid and don't speak, anyway, I just look down on you, a fortunate minister, which can annoy Fukuoka Yoshikiyo and said angrily: "If you don't have anything to say, then don't blame me for being honest and reporting to the truth, just say that the princes are not good enough to come up with a strong statement to deal with Kaga has always been ......"

"Redemption is clumsy, I don't know who Iwami Mamoru is talking to for a long time?" Yuzhu Jinggu narrowed his eyes and sneered coldly: "The lord just mentioned that he asked Iwami Mamoru to hand over the discussion, how could he have said that Iwami Mamoru presided over the evaluation meeting, Ishimi Mamoru acted so frivolously, is he despising the many generations of the family of my Asakura?" ”

Fukuoka Yoshikiyo was furious: "You...... Fling dirt at somebody! You're slandering! I'm going to sue you before my lord!" ”

"Humph! If you want to go all over again, no one can stop you from having long legs on Iwami Mamoru . Yuzhu Jinggu is not afraid of-for-tat, he can have this confidence because there are many people in the retainers of the spectrum generation who are supporting him, and the chief of the spectrum family, the old Yamazaki Yoshika, as well as the people who are surprised by the beauty of Xingzhong, Kawai Yoshitomo and others are supporting him.

Yuzhu Jinggu is to make it clear that he will not go down the steps, that is, he will slap his face nakedly, which makes the scene more and more embarrassing, and Qianbo Jingding hurriedly stood up to be a peacemaker: "The two highnesses are temporarily angry, since they are both ministers of my Asakura family, why should the same hall serve the lord because of some misunderstandings, let's discuss how to deal with Kaga's always one-sided problem!" ”

Qianbo Jing was determined to talk about it and persuade the two to make peace. To be precise, Fukuoka Yoshikiyo took the lead in accepting softness and pretending to be generous, saying that he didn't care. It's not because he's very unruly or impressed by the rhetoric of the foreground. Rather, it was because he had discovered that none of the most powerful namesakes of the Asakura family, as well as the retainers of the Genealogy and the foreigners with extraordinary strength, came to speak for him, which made him realize that the Sokka did not have much capital to rely on except for the family governor.

Fukuoka Yoshikiyo also agreed to ease the atmosphere, and privately Fukuoka Yoshikiyo found Ono County Division Asakura Jingjing, promising to keep his background in this crusade against Kaga's always the general of the army, in exchange for the strong support of this powerful retainer.

Asakura Jingjing agreed with a grin. In his heart, he despised this Fukuoka Yoshikiyo more and more, and only after watching him leave did he smile secretly: "The Asakura family actually breeds such a courtier who is bent on cultivating power, but I don't know how the ancestor Xiaojing Gong would feel if he knew that he had such a useless son-in-law and promoted so many retainers who were like waste wood?" ”

For the olive branch handed by Fukuoka Yoshikiyo, he would not hesitate to accept it, but Asakura Jingjing's heart did not have much worry about the family and the world, and he hated everything in the Asakura family from the bottom of his heart, including his family members and Asakura Yoshikage, the family governor, his childhood was spent in the planning of his ambitious father Asakura Jinggao.

Since childhood, he has seen too many intrigues and ruthless betrayals, which made his early education lack a sense of morality and the necessary sense of right and wrong. Just when he was about to become an adult, Asakura Keigaka's rebellion failed and fled to Kyoto, and then he was exiled for a second time and completely expelled from the Asakura family. Since then, his life has been overwhelmed by ridicule and contempt, which has filled his heart with endless hatred, hatred of his father, hatred of his brothers, hatred of the genealogy of the family, hatred of everything in the Asakura family, and even hatred of himself.

According to the normal trajectory of life, perhaps he will follow his father's old path in this hatred, and then die under the sword of a certain samurai to become a strong stroke in the war, but all this has become a different appearance in the hands of Asakura Yoshikage, a self-proclaimed clever governor, Asakura Yoshikage intends to balance the overly powerful Tsuruga Gunji, and he remembered that Ohno Kenji still has such a remnant of him, so he easily promoted him to regain the lost military power of the Ono people and then became a confidant.

In his opinion, maybe this Asakura Yoshikage is still dreaming of the grace of knowing the situation, fantasizing that Asakura Jingjing will use this arm stretched out from Takamagahara as a great benefactor who saved him from hell, so Long En is like recreating his life, and he must have been moved to die for him, but Asakura Jingjing has never thought about it this way, he will only be more excited to watch Asakura Yoshijing make one stupid mistake after another, and he doesn't mind making this stupid person even more stupid.

In the afternoon, the evaluation meeting was held again, Fukuoka Yoshikiyoshi and the performers were much more honest, and Yamazaki Yoshiie, as the temporary host of the evaluation meeting, convened the retainers and countrymen to discuss countermeasures, and several people from all walks of life also spoke enthusiastically to make the atmosphere very warm, which made Fukuoka Yoshikiyoshi look very embarrassed, thinking about the scene of not saying a word in the morning, and the resentment of these genealogies in his heart increased a little more.

Perhaps a little too excited, Yin Mu Jingzhong suddenly said: "We shouldn't have tore up the alliance with the Kira family so hastily, if we didn't pierce that layer of paper, we wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation, at least we could suppress Wakasa Country safely and steadily, and hand over Kaga to the Kira family to deal with, and the little prime minister wouldn't die in vain in Sanrihama......"

"Yin Mu is cautious! Don't forget that we are allies with the two anti-Kira families! ”

Yin Mu Jingzhong also found that he was a little careless, touched his head and apologized embarrassedly: "It's under Meng Lang!" Actually, it means ......"

"Does it mean that it is more cost-effective to be pro-Kira than to be pro-Sanhao? Yin Mu Hall has been serving my Chaocang family for many years, and I have realized the truth of being close to the stronger party! Takahashi Jingye, a member of the performers, seized this opportunity to sneer and sneer, and Yin Mu Jingzhong was annoyed and ashamed, and a good assessment would turn into a noisy vegetable market again.

The last few important ministers and family elders have always decided to end the assessment meeting, and discuss the crusade that was transferred to the family governor another day, until the performers and the people of the country left in turn, Asakura Jingji warned in front of a genealogy: "My father has been dealing with Kaga all my life, and as the inheritor of my father, I, Jingji, support Kaga Ichi!"

But please don't forget that the covenant with the Kira family to share Kaga Province has been broken, and it's hard to say whether the Kira family will fight to the end with us. In the end, it would be a loss to be picked by the Kira family again, and it would be a loss. It is even more necessary to beware of what kind of bad means the Kira family used in this Sanrihama riot to secretly encourage them. Don't let me be the pawn that was fooled by the Asakura family. ”

Asakura Keiki's words evoked many bad thoughts, and it must be admitted that the Kira family used their ability and definitely had this intention to promote this assassination, and on the surface, it can be seen that this Sanrihama riot is completely different from what Kaga has always done, especially combined with Kaga Ichika's bad deeds of cooperating with the Takeda family to launch the Kasugayama riot, it can prove that the Kira family is in this commotion.

Kaga has always been a group of warrior monks full of madness and violence in their heads, who regard the rules and precepts as unmistakable, they can kill people with knives and set fires, dare to drink wine and eat meat in Buddhist temples, and dare to hide filth in temples to marry wives and have children. This group of flower monks dare to think and do anything, the only thing they can't think of is conspiracy, and the only thing they don't dare to do is blasphemy against the gods and Buddhas.

Kira Yoshitoki's image in Kinai is very good, abide by the rules of business, respect for cultural people, respect for religious freedom in Kinai, respect for the imperial court, shogunate, abide by the law and law, treat everyone from the ministers to the common people, and there is no discrimination, and he is the only samurai who is willing to pay a high pension for the war dead, and his image is perfect in Kinai, and his popularity and prestige are very good.

But it is not enough to hide his characteristics of being good at intrigue and trickery, and his methods are ruthless and vicious, recall how many samurai families have died in his hands or even exterminated for so many years, and the imperial court shogunate can be deceived by his rhetoric. The people of Li were deceived by his propaganda, but the powerful samurai daimyo would not be deceived by his illusion. They knew very well in their hearts what a formidable opponent this Kira family was.

It is naïve to think that the Kira family did not intervene, and it is clear that Kira Yoshitoki was able to defeat the powerful Takeda Shingen and Hojo Shiyasu by various means, but it was not entirely because of his strong military strength and samurai bravery, and without superb wisdom and ruthless methods, it was absolutely impossible for him to rise to the Daimyo of the Five Kingdoms in just a few years.

The Asakura family has struggled for several generations for decades to have Echizen a country, and Asakura Keiki's father is the original team that has experienced the creation period of the Asakura family, and when it comes to the difficulty of starting a business, he is definitely clearer than anyone else, so Asakura Keiki is more afraid than anyone else, and the Kira family is more afraid of the mastermind behind the scenes, compared to the Asakura family's trump card that holds Kira, the Kira family has more trump cards in their hands and can easily deal with the Asakura family.

"Is this Sanrihama riot a stern warning from the Kira family? No! There is no doubt that the lord was almost assassinated...... So to speak! Maybe the Kira family killed the lord with good luck and plunged the Asakura family into civil strife, and if they were unlucky, they deterred me from acting rashly and warned us that we had the means to deal with my Asakura family? It's a little too ......."

Yamazaki Yoshiya's words only came to an abrupt end in the middle of the sentence, but the samurai present understood that he was not finished, what kind of tone particle should be used to express his surprise, it seems that this inference is the most likely to be close to the truth, the Kira family is very likely to intervene in this commotion, but they can't catch the handle of the Kira family, even if there are thousands of suspicions, they can only stare at this mastermind behind the scenes.

If you want to blame, you can only blame it on the time when the commotion occurred, the samurai of the Asakura family were too anxious to chop melons and vegetables three or two times to cut down the assassins, and there was no living mouth and lack of evidence, and the forcible accusation was framed, and with the methods of the Kira family, maybe there would be some tricks to play against the Asakura family, thinking about this possibility made many samurai feel chills in their hearts.

Asakura Jingjing looked at Asakura Jingji, who had always been obscure as a transparent person, and had gray hair in his fifties, how could he never have imagined that this guy who had always looked down on him could think so deeply about the inside story, and many of them were things that he himself could not think of, and he realized that he seemed to underestimate the strength of this fierce rival.

The meeting ended with an admonition from Asakura Keiki, and within a few days, the people of the Spectrum came up with a well-planned plan to defeat the forces of Echizen Ichijo in Echizen Sakai and Ono Prefecture, and in the name of revenge, they gathered 20,000 troops to attack Echizen Yoshizaki Gobo, and tried to completely remove this nail that had been buried in Echizen for decades.

Generally speaking, it is to copy the old routine that has been used in the past few decades to fight against Echizen, but in a different name, it is still a step-by-step and uninnovative offensive plan, Fukuoka Yoshikiyo took this offensive plan and poured bitter water in front of Asakura Yoshikage, and did not forget to ridicule the plan that the spectrum came up with, in a vain attempt to use this means to influence Asakura Yoshikei's judgment.

It's a pity that the governor was grieving because of his wife's death in vain, and he didn't speak for most of the day when he held the bronze mirror, and he didn't hear his bitter words at all.

The rhetoric that he had been preparing for so long failed to impress Asakura Yoshikei, forcing him to come up with a killer idea: "Please let the Lord publicize, who is the chief general of this crusade against Echizen Ichishozong?" Should Asakura Shikibu Daisuke Kegageden be appointed as the chief general of the crusading army? ”

Fukuoka Yoshikiyo patiently asked twice before he called Asakura Yoshikage back from his distraction: "...... Asakura Jingjing as the commander-in-chief? How to make him the commander-in-chief? Shouldn't Asakura Keitaka be made the chief general...... The family remembered that it was too much to let Asakura Keitaka be the general general, and now it's time to appoint Asakura Keigami as the general general, so use him! ”

"But how should Jing Jidian explain there? Jing Jidian is a strong candidate to nominate his sister-in-law Jing Yuan to be the general general......"

Asakura Yoshijing waved his hand impatiently and scolded this close minister who had followed him for more than ten years: "Long-winded! You can do whatever your family arranges! If there is a problem, let the uncle come to the house! ”

"Hah!" Fukuoka Yoshikiyo quietly took a few steps back and turned to leave, showing a smug smile from an angle that Asakura Yoshikami couldn't see, and the first thing he did when he left the castle tower was not to draft an edict with a blessing pen, but to quickly return to Shikiya and write down what he had just seen and send to his favorite ally Asakura Keigami.

The humiliation left on him at that appraisal meeting made him deeply aware of a truth, as a close minister beside the governor, if he did not have the strong support of external allies, he could only be a fox and a fake tiger, and when he was humiliated at the appraisal meeting, there was no powerful samurai to speak for him, which was too stimulating for him.

"That's why I need your support even more! Asakura Mirror! Fukuoka Yoshikiyo wrote and muttered happily: "We are allies, with my support, you can sit firmly in the general, and I will help you in the future, so you must remember the benefits of my Yoshikiyo!" ”

In the shroud of this strange atmosphere, the Asakura family decided to go out in August to crusade against Echizen Ichichi, and in just one month, Echizen 20,000 elite people gathered outside the castle castle, when Asakura Yoshikei stood on the castle tower and saw these 20,000 brave tigers, chanting in unison the slogan of crusading against Echizen, and suddenly felt extremely down-to-earth.

"Sure enough, only a strong samurai regiment can defend the majesty of my Asakura family, and it is the foundation that maintains my Asakura family's domination of Hokuriku, and only they can crusade against evil for their own family!" Asakura Yoshikei deeply realized that the strength of the Asakura family was based on a strong kinship, loyal genealogy elders, and 20,000 samurai who were loyal to him.

In the past, his close ministers who were very pleasing to the eye were just ornaments of his power, and they could not change the extreme dependence of the Asakura family on a retainer, and Asakura Yoshikage secretly thought: "Power! What a scary thing! It allows the family to use 20,000 troops to avenge their hatred with just one word...... It is also the power that allows the family to meet the little prime minister and lose the little prime minister, power is really something left over from the evil ghosts of hell! ”

The 20,000 tiger ben held a simple pledge meeting and set off, their goal was the Echizen Ichichi Ichichi town on the border of Echizen Province, and the primary goal this time was the base camp of Echizen Ichichi Ichibo in Echizen Province, as long as they could successfully uproot the main force of Echizen Ichiji in Sakai County, they didn't have to worry about what storms Echizen Ichijo in other places could cause.
