Nearly 60 percent of Echizen Province's fiscal and tax revenues came from Tsuruga Prefecture, and the remaining 40 percent came from Mikuni Minato, which could never guarantee absolute security, and taxes from commercial facilities including Ichijo Valley Castle Town.

In a sense, Asakura Yoshikei, the family governor, relied on a few taxes to maintain a luxurious life, and nearly ninety percent of the territory of the Echizen country was in the hands of the namesake, the genealogy, the country, and the estates of the temples, ministers, and shogunates.

With only more than 4,000 troops, he could only compare with the relatively weak Ashiwa Gunji of the same name, and he was not at all an opponent of Ohno and Tsuruga, not to mention the vast number of Peshiro countrymen, and Asakura Yoshikeikai chose to set up a group of musicians to divide power from the hands of the Shidai people who were in power, and take away the position of the chief general of the Asakura Army from the hands of the richest Tsuruga Gunji, etc., which was a practical action to show that he, the family governor, was dissatisfied with the powerful Pestria Sect.

The total number of troops retained by Echizen Province exceeded 35,000, but Asakura Yoshikage could only mobilize about 60% of them at most, for example, this time the Kira army broke into Tsuruga County and attracted 5,000 Tsuruga defenders, and in the crusade against the Tsuruga Army, 6,000 troops were invested, so it can be seen that Tsuruga Prefecture had 11,000 troops.

Although the 5,000 troops did not mean that they were a force that the Tsuruga Gunji could control, but rather a rebel army that came from the local national lords who spontaneously organized themselves to surround their homeland. But this also reflects from the side how poor the control of Asakura Yoshikage, the family governor, is. He, the governor of the family, is very uncomfortable and is constrained everywhere. There are only some unconventional ways to seize power.

When he faced the huge threat of the Kira family, he realized that he had no strength to resist at all, once the Tsuruga Port was seized by the Kira family, it would not only directly endanger all the interests of the Tsuruga Prefecture, but also threaten the core interests of Asakura Yoshikage, which was not strong, and the loss of the benefits of the Tsuruga Port would bring great disasters to the Asakura family, and perhaps it would collapse and decline.

Asakura Yoshikage was really scared, and he only figured out a simple truth at this time, the Asakura family could use the trade route customs office to threaten the Kira family, and the Kira family could use maritime supremacy to threaten the Asakura family. This is called treating others the way they do, and in comparison, the Asakura family has no more ways to deal with the Kira family.

Dajue Temple Yoshijun clasped his hands together and saluted: "From the point of view of the poor monks, the Jinwu Hall and the town government are both good ministers of the shogunate, so they should turn the war into jade silk, so as to prevent the scourge of swords and soldiers from ravaging the world and causing a disaster of misery...... The poor monk has already brought the words of Sado Shoudian, so he will stop bothering Jinwu Temple, and take his leave! ”

Until Yoshitoshi of Daikakuji Temple left for a long time, Asakura Yoshikage did not get out of his anxiety, and hurriedly went to the assessment room to hold a small assessment meeting, and the topic of discussion was the threat of war issued by the Kira family. Qianbo Jingding sighed: "Modern Min Jinggong once said that the world is in danger. How hard the family business is! At first, we were quite unimpressed with the teachings of the sages, and felt that the prosperity of the Asakura family was the time to rise up and fight, and it was too presumptuous to say some discouraged words......

It was only at this moment that we realized that the world was changing like a moon shadow in the water, making people wonder which one was real and which was a mirage, and it was difficult for a strong enemy to serve the world. ”

The last precept of the former wave Jingdingti is the "Yinglin Wall Book", which contains many experiences of Asakura Toshikyo summed up in decades, including many admonitions such as bravery, unity, self-discipline and frugality, because the time written was still the difficult days of the Asakura family before the Ming Coup d'état, but with the changes in the world, the governor of the Asakura family felt that these family mottos could not keep up with the actual situation and wished Junan to abandon them.

Asakura Yoshikage's face turned blue and white for a while, and after thinking about it, he felt that the Asakura family was indeed not the opponent of the Kira family, and sighed secretly in his heart: "The Jinjiang-Vietnam Triple Alliance mistook me!" I knew that my family should not have participated in this Triple Alliance, and the lessons of the Triple Alliance are still in front of me, why would my family still believe the sweet words of the Miyoshi family? ”

He will not admit how active he was when he founded the Triple Alliance, let alone admit that half a year ago he was still strongly advocating sanctions against the Kira clan in Omi Sakamoto, a few months ago in the three counties of Echizen Omi, and other actions concocted by him.

But now that he was beaten by the Kira army to show off his might, he felt that it was Miyoshi Chokei's mistake that prompted all this, and without the Kinai Triple Alliance, he would not have been hit, and maybe the Sanrihama riot and the death of Asakura Keigao would have disappeared, if Asai Nagamasa did not have so much water but continued to exert his magical skills, defeated the Kira family again in the Battle of Shidake and kept the safety of Ika-gun, there would be no trouble with the Tsuruga Prefecture being attacked and burned down, and he would not have been threatened and intimidated by others.

Only the fault of others is the mentality that he is always a victim, highlighting that the psychology of this governor is completely abnormal, Asakura Yoshikage also seems to realize that his mind is a little deranged, and often feels that the little prime minister is by his side, and even just now he was talking to him in the house, and occasionally in his sleep, he will see the face that leaves a big blood hole beyond recognition, and he is frightened to wake up and frantically scold and punish the little surname and maid on duty at night, he feels that he really has a mental problem.

The headache is coming, Asakura Yoshijing covered his head and got up and said: "My family has a headache and needs to rest, so these things will be left to the princes to deal with!" ”

Seeing Asakura Yoshikyo leave, the genealogy of the Asakura family discussed the way to deal with it, and some retainers thought that they should not be soft at this time but should maintain a certain degree of toughness, and they could not change their orders and not be treacherous, otherwise offending the Kira family in front of the Miyoshi family and the Asai family would only be a disaster for the Asakura family.

But this argument is clearly untenable. If it had been a few months ago, they would still have the confidence to fight against the Kira family. Right now, the Asakura family knows that they can't fight anymore. The confrontation between the Tsuruga people and the Ohno people is a big trouble, and Asakura Keiki has not directly accused Asakura Keigami so far, but it will not be too long before the day when he completely tears his face, and then he turns his head and looks at the Kira family, it is really a big force that cannot afford to offend.

The absence of the three elders of the same name from this meeting made the meeting itself a little less authoritative, and Yamazaki Yoshiya glanced at the many ministers in the room, and said softly: "This matter will not be discussed in the future, and what I want to say in the next is that the mental state of the lord is very delicate, and the behavior of the lord has become more and more strange in recent days." Almost every day, there will be news from the Honmaru that the little surname and the maid are being punished, and the little surname and the maids spend the whole day in fear, and it is not a way to go on like this, and sooner or later it will affect the stability of the family business. ”

"That's right, the two ladies beside the lord have passed away, and I feel that I should find another gentle and beautiful lady for the lord, and use the tenderness of a woman to soothe the wounds in the lord's heart." The first half of Kawai Yoshito's speech was relatively normal, and the latter part of it had the meaning of deviating from the scriptures, which attracted a burst of heart-to-heart laughter in the evaluation room.

Fukuoka Yoshikiyoshi snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction, but he was quite moved by this proposal in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he proposed: "It is said that there is a beautiful and lovely person in the Saito Soldier's Department, and his personality is also gentle and kind. Why don't you choose this woman from the Saito Shosuke family? ”

……

Kira Yoshitoki sorted out the information sent by the Kira ninja, and had a general understanding of the situation in Kinai to some extent, the Echizen Asakura family broke out fiercely as scheduled, and the most powerful Ninachi of the Asakura family also went to the point of no return for complete confrontation as expected, as long as the Kira ninja fanned the flames and caused trouble outside, there was no need to worry about the possibility of the two families getting along.

Asai Nagamasa, who is known as the hope star of the new generation in Kinai, has also tried out his true level in a few short encounters with Yamamoto Tokiyuki, with excellent talent, brave and tenacious, and the most important feature is that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the sky is not afraid of the earth, and the combination of Kira Jun and Yamamoto Tokiyuki also dares to collide once, and there is also an advantage that the little white face is very handsome.

There are advantages and disadvantages, and the shortcomings and weaknesses of Asai Nagamasa are also very obvious, the most important one is blind self-confidence and a relatively simple understanding of military strategy, as the general general rushed to the front line with the military momentum, and when he commanded, he sent Isono Yuanchang as the vanguard to attract firepower, and then Asai Nagamasa took the formation to raid the flanks in a roundabout way, and the three-board axe-style tricks were used cheerfully but also exposed to his talents.

From the current point of view, Asai Nagamasa is an excellent commander of the army, but he does not have an excellent samurai who is responsible for the general general's situation, and in terms of wisdom and strategy, it is completely unqualified from the current situation, and even the lord of Hita Castle, Takano Se Hidetaka, is acting on behalf of others, which shows that he is not an excellent strategic general, some similar to Takigawa Tokiyoshi and Honjo Fanchang, but they lack their rich knowledge and sophisticated means, and they lack the courage and courage to fight against a hundred.

Compared with Asai Nagamasa's deep and cunning father, it is still a lot worse, combined with some rumors that Asai Hisamasa was claustrophobic, it is actually a play performed by himself and his son Asai Nagamasa, aiming to take this opportunity to completely reverse the main contradiction of the humiliation of the foreign subordinate Rokkaku family during the reign of Asai Hisamasa, and the inability to meet the self-reliance demands of the restless people.

Perhaps it is more believed that his son can have an outstanding talent to play the family governor, Asai Hisamasa will direct and act a bitter meat plan and easily retire, from the facts have proved that Asai Nagamasa does have extraordinary strength, as soon as he came to power, he promoted the Kinai Triple Alliance and became the son-in-law of the Miyoshi family, the brother-in-law of Asakura Yoshikei, and then defeated the old enemy Rokkaku Yoshiken to gain complete independence in form, and the Asai family completed a top-down innovation in his hands, and indeed achieved the goal established when he first retreated.

However, Asai Hisamasa's retirement still exposes the shortcomings of Asai Nagamasa's lack of experience, and his strong character can win the support of the countrymen, and at the same time, it is easy to cause him a lot of unnecessary trouble, such as Asai Nagamasa's questioning of the death of his sister Akuhime, which caused the displeasure of the Asakura family, and his rash military action against the Kira family caused the dissatisfaction of many people in Ika County.

The powerful countrymen in Ika Prefecture and Asai Nagamasa's maternal grandfather, Iguchi Nobuyoto, were secretly betrayed and kept in the dark, and the important bargaining chips Kyogoku Takayoshi's family was easily rescued by Kira ninjas, all of which were bombs buried deep under the thriving family business of the Asai family, but no one noticed before the bomb was detonated.

As for the last and most important part of the Triple Alliance, the Miyoshi family. The current form is not even more wonderful. In the case of the other two of the Triple Alliance in Kinai having problems at the same time. Miyoshi Changqing did not have the spare strength to provide military support, which also reduced the prestige of the Triple Alliance to a certain extent.

The Miyoshi family was dragged down by Hatakeyama Takamasa in Kawachi country, this guy was originally a very difficult thorn to deal with, the Kawachi Hatakeyama family is a powerful family of the shogunate and one of the three leading families, the family can be traced back to the Genpei Kamakura period, with countless glory and glorious history, the influence in the country of Hanoi can only be described as the sky, look at the apostasy of Yuzo's religion to know that the choice between the two will not be easily changed.

If it is said that Hatakeyama Takamasa in the past few years is just a reckless stunned youth. Now he not only gets a lot of financial support from the Kira family, but also often accepts the wisdom of the general Yamamoto Tokiyuki from the side, although this guy's brain structure is always different from normal people, and often throws Yamamoto Tokiyuki's proposal aside to pick up his arms and suffer a small loss, but the overall performance still tends to be more difficult.

Kraft candy sticks to the hand and can't shake off how much of a nest of fire, but this Hanoi country was swallowed by the Miyoshi family in one bite, and when I felt that I had made a lot of money, I found that it was like a fish in my throat, and I swallowed it with this fish bone blocking it and was uncomfortable to death, and I wanted to spit it out and was afraid that the fish bone would become a time bomb and blow up a big hole in the already unsolid foundation of the Miyoshi family, so I was in such a dilemma, not to mention how painful it was.

Miyoshi Chokei hates Hatakeyama Takamasa extremely. But this unbeatable Xiaoqiang always comes out again after being frustrated, and gets up from wherever he falls and continues to entangle. The harmful Miyoshi family must send the general Miyoshi Yoshiken to lead 30,000 troops to suppress it, and from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there is not a month of complete stability.

In addition to this trouble, there is also a nasty guy who gives Miyoshi Nagakei a headache, his name is Hatano Hideji, this is a son of revenge who is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred for the country's enemies, and the hatred of the Miyoshi family is eager to eat its flesh and drink its blood, and it has not stopped much since the recapture of Yagami Castle, and the reason is sad to unite the people of Tanba who are not willing to be ruled by the rude and arrogant Miyoshi family, and always maintain a strong suppression of Naito Munekatsu of Yagi Castle militarily, As a result, Miyoshi's business in Tamba is in danger of getting completely out of control.

What's worse is that this young man will marry the daughter of the Akamatsu family who has nothing to do with the eight poles, this Akamatsu family as a declining family still maintains a weak influence on Harima, Misaku, Bizen and other territories, especially the influence of Harima is very far-reaching, West Harima guardian Uno Akamatsu clan, East Harima guardian Daibessho clan are all branches of the Akamatsu family, once this family finds a proper reason to unite, it is still a headache to really exert force, and the last time in Harima Country defeated Miyoshi Yoshiken is a clear proof.

With the pregnancy of Hideji Hatano's wife, the connection between Harima Province and Tanba Province was further deepened, and it is said that the two guardians of Harima Province had already discussed countermeasures, if the Hatano family gave birth to a daughter, they would marry Kozaburo, the sister-in-law of Yasuji Bessho, and if they gave birth to a son-in-law, they would marry the daughter of Akamatsu Masahide as the main wife, and this news was enough to make Miyoshi Nagakei feel shocked and jealous.

The Akamatsu family's domestic demand in military diplomacy made Miyoshi Nagakei realize that he was a little overbearing, and having a strong enemy such as the Kira family was enough for him to sleep unsteadily, and he couldn't set up more enemies to cause trouble for the Miyoshi family, so under the guidance of the idea of avoiding many enemies, Miyoshi Nagakei was a little more tolerant of Hideji Hatano, the actual controller of Tanba.

Miyoshi Nagakei was willing to grant more autonomy to Hideji Hatano, acquiescing in his domination of the existing territory and maintaining the nominal lord of Tanba, not allowing him to carry out a series of dangerous military provocations against Yagi Castle, as long as the Hatano family was willing to accept the conditions of nominal subordination to the Miyoshi family.

From the perspective of Sanhao Changqing, the conditions he is willing to offer can be described as low, such a calm appeasement a year in advance is absolutely fantastical, but the situation is stronger than people always have to make flexible adjustments to adapt to this era full of crises and opportunities, he asked himself This choice can be called a major change in recent years.

However, he still miscalculated Hatano Hideji's hatred for the Miyoshi family, and even more misjudged the influence exerted by the Kira family on Hatano Hideji, and the annual heavy remuneration to support the Hatano family to resist the tyranny of the Miyoshi family can be used to strengthen the huge influence of Hatano Hideji on the Tanba country, and these conditions The Miyoshi family will never give him conditions, because he will face the reach of more families in the territory if he gives it to the family. This is something that the Miyoshi family definitely can't stand it.

The so-called giving of autonomy is what he has, so it is not called giving. What's the use of just giving the Hatano family a blocking skill. What he wants is to completely dominate the country of Tanba and complete the Daimyo of the Warring States, in this process it is inseparable from the financial assistance of the Kira family, and it is inseparable from the anti-Sanyoshi righteousness brought by the invasion of Naito Sokatsu.

Not to mention that under the effect of this name, the imperial court and the shogunate obviously paid more attention and favor to Hideji Hatano, and married a little beauty from the famous Akamatsu family who was against the three good things to be the wife of the main room, which was a good deal with one stone. Who in the world can resist the choice of benefiting and harming?

Hideji Hatano did not hesitate to refuse the olive branch of Miyoshi Changqing, and ridiculed the Miyoshi family for only now remembering to treat the Tanba people preferentially, so why did he inflict such a poisonous hand on his father in the early years, and why did he repeatedly bully and insult the Tanba people, and directly accused Miyoshi Changqing of being a complete hypocrite, and used his hands stained with the blood of innocents to complete the next gram and become the leader of the leader, and the name of the overlord of Jinai is actually the silverfish of Jinai.

A righteous refusal made Miyoshi Nagakei both embarrassed and ashamed, no one dared to accuse him so openly for so many years, this Hatano Hideji not only refused his olive branch, but also took the opportunity to use this incident to elevate his statement that he was not afraid of power. and let the Miyoshi family act as a harlequin in this incident, how can this not make him resentful and angry.

Miyoshi Chokei is full of hatred for Hideji Hatano. The psychology of jealousy and resentment, hating the hostile and disobedient attitude of Hideharu Hatano towards him, the influence of the Hatano family on the people of Tanba and the Harima Akamatsu family, and resenting this guy for repeatedly not knowing what to do and daring to buy his own good reputation with his name.

Don't dare to do anything to expose the weakness of the Miyoshi family from the side, in the propaganda of the Kira ninja's fanning the flames, Miyoshi Changqing has become a villain samurai who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and the surface of the shogunate hides a greedy and vicious heart, and the claustrophobic Hosokawa Harumoto reflects his great rebellion and lawlessness, and the repeated coercion of the shogunate exposes his viciousness.

Repeatedly reaped failures under the counterattacks of the Kira family, it was difficult to deal with the brave Hatakeyama Takamasa, the very watery Rokkaku Seizhen, and the even weaker Hatano Hideji, and again exposed the weak nature of Miyoshi Chokei, who would only bully his fellow clans and bully the weakened lord, bully the generals who had experienced repeated chaos and weakened, and bully the powerless imperial court Gongon princes.

In the face of such a vicious rumor, even Miyoshi Changqing can't help but change color, it seems that this rumor is not as bad as the previous demons and demons and ghosts, but in fact, this rumor is the embodiment of elusive things such as gods, ghosts and ghosts, and more specifically describes the character of Miyoshi Changqing, bullying the soft, fearing the hard, being greedy, and vicious is enough to shape his image into a samurai clown.

In the future, his reputation in Jinai will change from a child's innermost monster to a yellow banner star that the people of Li have heard of, it is by no means as simple as a simple windward stinky ten miles, and in the long run, maybe the subordinate people will also have different hearts, one of which was when he passed through the atrium, he overheard the reputation of the little surname talking about the name of the governor, and it seemed that he was very disdainful of the appearance and interior of Miyoshi Changqing.

In the past, he had never paid attention to how important his reputation was, until he encountered this incident, he found that his reputation had become so bad that it could not be worse, and the retainers of the spectrum could not bear that their lord was a despicable villain who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard, and the Miyoshi family did not need a notorious family governor, and too much stigma would also damage the prestige of Miyoshi Changqing.

Heavy worries made Miyoshi Chokei no longer have the heart to deal with the Kira family, and brought 500 elite flags to Kyoto's Kyoo Gokokuji Temple, constantly appearing in various public places to participate in Kyoto's cultural activities, and trying to do good deeds to help poor townspeople repair the damaged Buddhist temples and pagodas in Kyoto, and try to use this action to improve the notoriety he has accumulated.

……

Under the control of the Kira ninjas, various tricks and methods have been used to adversely affect the Kinai Triple Alliance, on the one hand, because the main members of the Kira ninjas, Koga and Iga, are in the circle of influence in, and they have too many channels to exert influence on the common people in the city, and it is easy to establish an influence that cannot be underestimated among the civilian class in.

On the other hand, the Kira family's accumulation in Kinai is too strong, and for 200 years, the governor of the Kira family has served the shogun in Kyoto for generations, and all kinds of relationships of different shades are almost all over the entire Kinai, and these relationships that do not work at all are meaningless from the perspective of ordinary samurai. However, under the influence of the Kira family and the money path, it became an excellent stepping stone.

These are all difficult to imitate by the three good families who lack the background. Miyoshi Changqing knew that he had been led by the nose, but he was helpless. Several attempts to counteract have failed, which shows that they are far inferior to the Kira family in terms of resource utilization, and the other two sides of the Triple Alliance are completely played by Kira Yoshitoki, and they may not know when they will be killed and they don't know how they died.

"The Triple Alliance in Ki is nothing but Er, and Yu only needs to use clever tricks to turn them into a pile of waste surrounded by internal and external troubles." Kira Yoshishi paced back and forth and thought secretly: "On the contrary, the samurai family in the Kanto region is more difficult to deal with, and it is not easy to plant a bomb and a poisonous bait in the Takeda family, but it is really a trouble that the cunning Takeda Shingen can endure it without biting the hook!"

The old fox of the Hojo clan is even more slippery, and the three generations of the Hojo family have made the two countries of Sagami and Izu like an impregnable wall, so that Yu has no way to catch Hojo's weaknesses and adjust them...... The three old foxes of the A Xiangjun Alliance are all treacherous and ghostly. It's a big grade stronger than the straw bales in Jinai! ”

After thinking for a while, he decided to put aside his troubles for a while, and remembered that when he listened to the lecture of Tozaya Zongyi a few days ago, he met a strange and familiar Tiantai sect monk Longxing Temple Suifeng, a strange face and strange person, as well as familiar names and familiar deeds, he didn't know where Longxing Temple was, but it did not prevent him from remembering that there was a monk from the Tiantai sect from Oshu in the Warring States Period.

This bold young monk dared to use the past as a metaphor for the present, pointing at him and scolding Huaidao, "Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by", and also said that Sima Zhao usurped the throne and gave up halfway, so that Sima Yanchan made him the emperor in one fell swoop, implying that he wanted to learn from Sima Zhao's practice of Zen and let him win the position of general.

Yoshitoki Kira rarely showed no expression of surprise or anger. Although he has always appeared in front of the world as the guardian of the shogunate or a loyal general, he has always maintained a good reputation without any notoriety. But this does not prevent the world's smart people from discovering that he has the "heart of Sima Zhao", and there has always been a deep understanding and a high degree of tacit understanding in the Kira family.

For example, Uesugi Teruhu hid his mind and was willing to be a silent genealogy, and the elder of the family also saw that he had this mind, and he was always entangled in not knowing how to face it, so he devoted himself to religion to escape, and several main opponents of the Kira family could also guess his true ambition to some extent, in the words of Kira Yoshitoki, this is called "what can be done and cannot be said".

Kira Yoshitoki was very impressed by this bold monk, and he made a decision on the spot to leave him as the deputy official of the Confession, which was actually a strategist and scholar monk when Kira Yoshi, and the small story of Longxing Temple's self-recommendation was also interpreted by the Echigo samurai into a classic that ascended to the sky, and there were more and more hairy boys who ran to Kira's house for a while to make amazing words, although most of them did not wake up and talked nonsense, but it really made the followers find a few gold in the sand, and there were gains and losses.

"Clever, bold, observant, and daring to think and do! It's so much fun! Kira Yoshitoki smiled at the distant sunset and slowly left the castle tower and walked towards the palace surrounded by deep woods, where his wife and children were waiting for her husband and father.

In this year, Ji Liang Yoshishi added a son and three daughters, so that the retainers' concern about the thin family governor Ding completely dissipated, the second son Katsuomaru is an energetic little guy, every time he is hungry, he cries the loudest, and he doesn't sleep after eating and doesn't listen to the babbling and reaches out to touch the small pendant hanging on the cradle, compared to his sister Little Apple is much more stable, eats and sleeps and rarely cries, even if he is awake, he doesn't like to cry, but looks at the strange world curiously with big eyes.

Tiger Ji and Xiang Ji are much smaller than Little Apple and Katsuo Maru, and the number of troubles is relatively frequent, and it is a distress at any time of day and night, so that the nurse and a few maids are busy taking care of it, but fortunately, there is some distance between the baby room and the room where their mother rests, so as not to let a few mothers who have just given birth to a child be tossed again. (To be continued......)
