Every samurai of the Asakura family firmly believes that Asakura is invincible, no matter which military situation kills them, they will not be half cowardly and afraid, the pride accumulated by decades of consecutive victories has made the Asakura army develop an unrivaled spirit and self-confidence, they think they are the strongest samurai, but the current situation is too smooth, so that the proud Asakura samurai are a little caught off guard.

Not long after defeating the hastily gathered vanguard troops of Echizen Yamamoto, the Asakura army successfully captured the last barrier on the periphery of Yoshizaki Imperial Workshop, Hosorogikan, and it can be seen that Echizen's officials who have always been in the same place still reacted quickly, Hosoroki Satsuma Mori, the lord of Hosorokikan, with two hundred troops, resolutely defended the residence hall and did not give way to half a step, but the absolute difference of one to one made them see any hope of perseverance.

This residence can only be regarded as a dilapidated earthen building, and the simple earthen house is no more than one high, barely blocking the wild ambush bandits who rob the house, but there is no way to face the well-organized and well-trained Asakura army, and the Asakura army does not seem to intend to kill or injure samurai, but like a lion playing with a captured rabbit, patiently tormenting the small city of two hundred defenders over and over again with a rain of arrows.

It wasn't until an hour later that the Hoshiro Suma Mamoru who didn't look at the humiliation decided to commit suicide at the cost of seppuku, in exchange for the chance to survive for the whole family, and then officially announced the surrender of Kaejo, and when the Asakura army came to the outside of Yoshizaki Gobo, they saw that Yoshizaki Gobo was gradually reduced to ashes in a sea of fire, and the Asakura army easily took all the territories of Sakai County that had been lost, but to some extent they gained nothing.

The captured captives revealed an important piece of information, and at noon they also saw that the Kyoyoyoshi of Chaokatsuji had issued a decree in the Yoshizaki Imperial Workshop until two hours ago. Suddenly, in a panic, he left Yoshizaki Imperial Workshop in a carriage with hundreds of horsemen and many small packers. Soon after, Yoshizaki Gobo was caught in flames.

The leader of the dignified Echizen Chaosheng Temple, Echizen's general, who had always been a general, fled without a fight. This brought great morale boost to the samurai of the Asakura army, this old enemy disgusted the Asakura family for more than ten years, causing countless troubles to the Asakura family, and this person was also very restless and always wanted to toss something out in Echizen Province, completely different from other officials, who could also use heavy money to win over or give certain autonomy privileges in exchange for nominal subordination.

This escape from the Chaokatsuji Kyoyoshi was regarded as a great victory in the military campaign of the Asakura family, and the destruction of Yoshizaki Gobo again was of great significance, and then the Asakura army with an army of 20,000 swept through the Sakai Prefecture along the way, uprooting dozens of large and small people. The recalcitrant members of the Ichizo sect were forcibly evicted from their homes and allowed to be exiled to Kaga with only a single coat and a few days' rations.

Subsequently, Asakura Keitaka ordered Asakura to repair Ryokaka, Asakura Osumi Shoukeedada, Asakura Oki Shoukei clan, and a branch family in Sakai County, Toba Keibo, and Aoren Huakeiji were responsible for serving as the lords of several castles in the county that had always been the official residence of the Zongbo, and gradually stabilized the situation in Sakai County.

The next step was to march into Ono Prefecture to completely eliminate Echizen's usual great opportunity, but on the way to the army, because of the competition between Asakura Keigami and Asakura Keigami for the general general, Asakura Keigami suddenly announced that he would be the chief general of the crusade army, and this arrogant statement angered the anger of Asakura Keigami, the division of Tsuruga Prefecture.

Asakura Keiji's father, Asakura Keiki, was forced to live in seclusion in order not to get the position of his own commander-in-chief, and he, a son, wanted to regain the lost position of commander-in-chief whether out of reason or a breath in his chest, so he reprimanded Asakura Keigami on the spot for not knowing the etiquette and false edicts, saying that he was the only samurai suitable to be the commander-in-chief.

Asakura Jingjing touched his scars because of Asakura Jingyuan's direct reprimand. And the anger in his heart suddenly rose, and he took out a letter written with Asakura Yoshikei's order on the spot. It says that Asakura Keigami will be appointed as the general of this crusade in the near future, and it has Fukuoka Yoshikiyo's own autograph, and this one sold his allies so easily.

This sudden scene made the scene extremely strange and silent, and Asakura Jinglong, who had clearly wanted to be dismissed, was also in a dilemma and didn't know how to judge, Asakura Jingyu sneered and scolded him for holding a valid document to forge the order of the governor, and his crime should be captured on the spot and handed over to the encumbered people for judgment.

However, Asakura Jingjing was ashamed to say that he had received the exact news, and Asakura Jingyuan did not want to compete with him for the general so as not to hurt the harmony between the people, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and Asakura Jingyuan also unceremoniously proposed that the Tsuruga Gun Division inherit the general general, and asked all the people with the same name to support him as the general general.

Asakura Jingjing also timely proposed that in addition to the appointment of the family governor, there is an important reason that is more suitable for being the chief general than Asakura Jingyuan, because the people of Ono County are the main force in this crusade against Echizen, and as the secretary of Ono County, he should also be the chief general, and between his words, he also pretended to persuade Asakura Jingyuan to let go of some, this general will let him be sooner or later, he is still young and has the opportunity to wait for Yunyun slowly.

The ridicule in his words was overflowing, and he was triumphant as if he was the commander-in-chief, which made Asakura Keigan feel humiliated and angry, threatening to recapture his own commander-in-chief, and the two sides had a fierce dispute on the edge of Ohno-gun, and even made a big fight at one point.

The march of the Asakura army also gradually slowed down with the commotion of several generals, and the generals had no intention of continuing the march, and in desperation, Asakura Keitaka had no choice but to order to ask for advice from Ichissunari Valley Castle, and before the letter was sent, he encountered an edict from Ichissunaya Castle, and Kobayashi Yoshicho, who served as the envoy, announced on the spot: "Asakura Jingjing is hereby appointed as the general of this expedition, and the generals should cooperate with the general to quickly exterminate the Ichizen border of the Ichizen bandits, Asakura Yoshikei, August 12, the third year of Eiroku." ”

"Nonsense! You must have joined together to falsely proclaim the edict of the Lord! Especially when you took out a letter from Fukuoka Yoshikiyo to prove that you are the general of the conquest army, I, Jingyuan, have reason to suspect that you are doing something in the way! Asakura Jingyuan pointed at Asakura Jingjing and scolded loudly, and even Kobayashi Yoshicho, who conveyed the edict, also covered it.

Of course, Kobayashi Yoshicho, who was shot for no reason, was very unhappy, and immediately sarcastically said: "Jingyuan Hall is doubting the samurai ethics of my Jichang, and even more questioning the decision of the lord!" I don't care about my personal reputation. The merits of which are judged by the master. But do you dare to refuse the lord's edict? ”

At this time, Asakura Jingyu realized that he had fallen into a catastrophe. Throwing an apologetic look at Kobayashi Yoshicho, he planned to hold back his anger and not continue to make trouble, but where would Asakura Jingjing let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately mocked: "Does Jingyuan still think that I, Jingjing, am telling lies?" The edict of the lord is clearly written in black and white, appointing me Jingjing as the general instead of your Jingyuan Palace, so I Jingjing can only say I'm really sorry! Only the wronged Jingyuan Hall is my worthy general. ”

Asakura Jingyuan finally stood up unbearably, and angrily pointed at Asakura Jingjing and reprimanded: "You deceive people too much!" Don't think that a momentary gain can lead to rampant unreasonableness! The lord is deceived by your rhetoric! I believe that sooner or later, the Lord Guild will understand! ”

However, the cunning Asakura Keigami did not answer, but made a look of being defeated by him at the samurai of the same name, which caused the neutral attitude of Asakura Keitaka to feel unhappy. To forcibly pull away the angry reprimand of Asakura Jingyuan and reprimand him for being ignorant, the edict of the governor was clearly written, that is, to appoint Asakura Jingjing as the general of the crusade army, but Asakura Jingyuan was still obsessed with the dispute was really unreasonable.

Under the auspices of Asakura Jinglong, this appointment was successfully fulfilled, and Asakura Jingjing proudly showed off his position as the general general, and there was nothing to do in the formation to point out the name of Asakura Jingyuan in the name of consulting, although the namesake of the Asakura family all knew that Asakura Jingjing's actions were excessive, but it was none of their business, who would stand up for Asakura Jingyuan?

The Tsuruga Prefecture Division, Asakura Keiki, has already let the monk governor retire, and the prestige of the old family governor will lose important interpersonal relationships if he is not by his side, and these people with the same name are not familiar with this hairy boy at all. Naturally, he will not do his best for his face to say goodbye to the current general Asakura Jingjing.

In the eyes of a samurai of the same name, this time it was Asakura Jingyu who was too big. They should have bowed their heads earlier, and all this would have passed, but how could they understand the painful taste of being the head of the pen of the same name for decades, but suddenly being deprived of his position by the governor without making a mistake, the anger and incomprehension of Asakura Keiki, and the humiliation suffered by Asakura Keiji.

Afterwards, several samurai of the Asakura family with the same name persuaded Asakura Jingyuan to be hasty and patient, endure the calm and calm for a while, and take a step back to open the sea and the sky, but how could the young Asakura Jingyuan endure the shame of this red fruit, he felt that his belief as a samurai had completely dissipated in this heavy blow, and after thinking about it, he did not fall asleep all night, got up before dawn and wrote a long letter to his retainers and send them back to Tsuruga Port.

And he himself chose to put on his clothes and armor neatly, and walked straight to the military tent to participate in the routine military meeting held that morning, and at the military meeting of the day, Asakura Jingjing still beat and made it difficult for Asakura Jingyuan, and he didn't seem to hear this taunt at all, as if he had not heard this taunt of neither yin nor yang, and had been sitting upright without hurrying or being impatient.

Asakura Jinglong also felt that this little nephew finally figured out the reason why he couldn't go against the general, so he saw Asakura Jingyuan suddenly untie his armor to reveal his belly wrapped in white cloth, strode to the center of the military tent and knelt down, and looked surprised Asakura Jingjing said lightly: "Thanks to you, the shame that I Jingyuan has suffered in this life can only be washed away by seppuku suicide, this grudge will never be forgotten by my Jingyuan, and I will always remember it!" Hate to be trapped and humiliated, and you can't die for the service of the Lord! ”

After reading some words, while the warriors present were still shocked by his words, he took out the sword and stabbed it into his stomach to dissolve a bright red crack, blood splashed and stained the felt carpet in the red tent, and Chaocang Jingyuan was sweating profusely and suddenly sang the farewell sentence: "Life has been in a hurry for decades, the flowers bloom and fall as in the past, my life has passed away quietly, and I wish to sleep in the green mountains of my homeland!" ”

Singing until the last sentence was intermittently a little out of breath, but Asakura Jingyuan insisted on enduring severe pain to finish singing this carefully prepared farewell sentence, and then gently smiled at Asakura Jingjing, and died with a sigh in the frightened gaze of many samurai, ending his short life of twenty-six years.

"What are you still doing! Go and save people! Asakura Jinglong yelled and finally woke up the startled samurai, and several Chinese samurai ran over in three or two steps to pick up Asakura Jingyuan, who was spilled with blood all over the ground, and carried him to the back for emergency treatment by the medical officer, and the military tent was a mess and didn't know how to call it. The samurai of the same name scurried back and forth like a frowning fly. I don't know if I should look at the Asakura Jingyuan who is being treated. Or should I go to Asakura Keitaka to ask for countermeasures.

Asakura Jingjing's whole person was frightened stupid, he was shocked by Asakura Jingyuan's calm smile before he died, he really couldn't imagine that a samurai could still show such a calm and peaceful smile before he died, as if he had been liberated by the gods and Buddhas, that sense of calm and relief made him feel great fear, he silently raised his hand and stared at the white palm, as if he wanted to see Asakura Jingyuan's blood from these hands.

The general general will be frightened, and the namesake and the retainers of the spectrum will be frightened. Naturally, all the people of the country were also frightened, and Asakura Jinglong said worriedly: "This is a big trouble!" How could it be such a big trouble! What did I Jinglong do wrong to let the gods and Buddhas punish me like this! ”

The matter was indeed made a big fuss, no one expected that this young Tsuruga Gunji would be so strong, and the retainers of the Genealogy who came back to their senses rushed to criticize Asakura Jingjing's excessive words, as the general and the elder brother did not know the younger brother, he actually sarcastically sarcastically did not have the demeanor of the general several times.

Asakura Jingjing sneered and became more and more contemptuous and disdainful of these genealogy retainers, when they criticized, they seemed to forget that their silent attitude was even more hateful, if Asakura Jingjing was the mastermind who killed Asakura Jingjing, then the samurai present were all accomplice members.

This temporary emergency proved to be meaningless after all. How could Asakura Jingyuan be rescued after he had already choked his breath, after the medical officer repeatedly confirmed the fact that Asakura Jingyuan was already dead. The stupidest samurai in the Asakura family also realized that this matter was out of control, and the great crisis of the Asakura family had arrived.

At noon that day, the Tsuruga people in the military situation learned that their young family governor finally committed suicide on the spot at the military council because of the failure of the competition for the general general, and finally committed suicide on the spot at the military assembly, so the Tsuruga people composed of 6,000 troops made a fuss on the spot, and the family governor committed suicide in humiliation. Although it is not necessarily true that the lord humiliates and the minister dies, there is no mistake in the relationship of common interests in which both glory and loss are lost.

Annoyed and angry, the Tsuruga people huddled together to fight with the Ohno people, which can scare the many genealogy elders of the Asakura family, if they really provoke infighting, then the Asakura family is really going to make a big incident, several genealogy family elders and generals of the same name even went out to persuade them to calm down, Asakura Jingyuan's death made everyone feel very sad, but as the injured party, you must not do anything wrong that harms the interests of the Asakura family.

Asakura Jinglong, the Ashiwa County Division, almost talked about his tongue after running before and after, and he insisted on persuading and educating to the first level to persuade these over-blooded samurai to go back, and the samurai didn't make trouble, and the infighting that was comforting the Asakura family was hastily suppressed.

As the initiator and main responsible person of the incident, Asakura Jingjing, the general general, must not be able to be the general, and he was really embarrassed to face dozens of pairs of various eyes staring at him, so he asked to resign from the post of general as a move to avoid suspicion.

The only way to do this is to wait for Asakura Yoshikage of Ichijo Valley City to make a decision, and all they can do before that is to send letters to Ichijo Valley City one by one, urging the family governor to come over and extinguish the fire in the town as soon as possible, and their group of people with the same name have no ability to mediate the mortal enmity between the Tsuruga and Ohno people.

A few days later, in the castle of Ichichenggu, Asakura Yoshikage was also distressed by this matter, he could not have imagined that appointing a general would actually kill him, and muttered to himself: "Isn't he just a general general?" Why commit suicide by seppuku in front of so many people! If there is anything you can't say well, you really can't go to Yicheng Valley City to plead with your family, can your family not help you, a brother? Huh! Look at this and make a fuss......"

Asakura Yoshikage is a professional afterthought, standing and talking without back pain, and now I remember that Asakura Jingyu should not commit suicide by seppuku frizzy, but should go to Ichicheng Valley City to ask him for help, but in the early days, he repeatedly refused his uncle Asakura Jingji and his younger brother Asakura Jingyu's request for the appointment of the general general, and the reason was also very vague and trivial, which meant that he was clearly unwilling to be the general of others.

To be able to reduce his uncle to the sake of writing letters and pleading, Asakura Yoshikage is also the only existence in the less than 100 years that the Asakura family has dominated Echizen, he doesn't feel that he has done too much, but he feels that the suppression of the Tsuruga people is not enough and not strong enough, it is better to replace the Tsuruga gun division with the namesake he can trust as the best choice, as for the fate of his poor uncle and brother, he has not thought about it at all.

But the current situation is that he has to think about what to do, because Asakura Jingji has already run directly to Ichicheng Valley City to seek justice, and angrily found Asakura Yoshikage and opened his mouth to ask for the order to kill the thief Asakura Jingjing, and he also killed his sister-in-law Asakura Jingjing in vain A justice, in the memory of Asakura Yoshikage's past, his uncle Asakura Jingji was a literati who read poetry and books and had a good demeanor, but he never thought that he would also show an expression of righteous indignation like an angry lion.
