Chapter 386: Asakura

Yiyin didn't know Fujido Tiger Gao's careful thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The world is hustle and bustle, isn't it just for profit? If you don't think about the good, is it because you are greedy for benevolence, righteousness and morality?

The samurai value profit over righteousness, and the way of the emperor lies in rewards and punishments.

Reward whomever to reward, how much to reward, to punish whomever to punish, how much to punish. It is the most important thing to grasp the weight of the scale.

You can't expect to lick too many dogs, it's a great luck to have a few loyal dogs, and you have to guard against the possibility of loyal dogs backlashing.

The vast majority of Ji samurai are willing to ignore the distinction between genders, and when he is the lackey of the male daimyo, he seeks fame and fortune.

The samurai family is rewarded by the public, and it is justified that both sides just take what they need.

Yiyin glanced at the low eyebrows, and secretly observed him from time to time, Ishida Mitsunari who was full of anticipation.

He smiled and said.

"Since Fujido Ji recommended it, then accept it.

Ishida Sansei, as a public servant, thirty stones at the age of Lu, with me to envoy Echigo, are you willing? ”

Ishida Mitsunari was overjoyed and bowed to the ground.

"Yes, Ishida Mitsunari thanked His Highness."

She knew that she couldn't enter the elite Ji Warrior Regiment, and Spo was united with everyone. With Yiyin's current identity, it is not a position for casual people to be close to the flag.

To be able to get the status of a public servant and follow Yiyin, Ishida Mitsunari was already overjoyed.

Yiyin nodded and said.

"Are there any horses?"

Ishida Mitsunari replied.

"Your lord, there is a war horse. The luggage was also ready, and it was tied to the horse behind the temple. ”

Yiyin couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you confident that I will allow you to be released?

Forget it, let's serve tea well, and we have to hurry after drinking. ”

Ishida Mitsunari continued his movements, this time becoming cautious, not daring to make any more mistakes, and offering the tea to the three adults one by one.

Yoshiin talked to the two, and Uesugi Terutora and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna on the side never interjected.

With their status, they don't care about such trivial things at all.

For Ishida Mitsunari a fateful moment, in the eyes of these big people, there is a lack of interest in spectators.

After a short pause, Yiyin encouraged Fujitang Tiger to say a few words, and the group set off on horseback. After that, there were no twists and turns, and he ran all the way to Echizen Province.

———

The Emperor's court imitated the Tang Dynasty and divided the administrative regions into 66 provinces.

Japan is mountainous, and the country is divided into small plain basins by mountains and hills, and except for the five countries, it is mainly divided into seven provinces along the direction of the mountain range.

After that, the shogunate was divided again, and there were also re-planning administrative districts, such as the Kwantung Shogun Shikukoku and so on.

However, the sixty-six kingdoms remained unchanged, and the geographical division of the seven provinces was still widely used by the samurai.

The western end of Hokuriku Province is located in the bay north of Omi Province, with Wakasa Province to the west and Echizen Province to the east, and is considered to be the starting point of Hokuriku Province.

In the Hokuriku Province, the 80,000 stone kingdom at the end of the country Wakasa was guarded by the Takeda family.

The Takeda family and the Ashikaga family have a deep old grudge, and they have always been disliked by the general. When the shogunate was strong, it often sent the daughters of the family to Beijing to serve the government as a sign of respect.

During the time of the sixth generation of shoguns, Takeda was ordered to conquer the country of Wakasa and protect it with grace.

Since then, the Kai Takeda clan has been separated, and the Wakasa Takeda clan has been separated.

Wakasa Province is small and weak, and the main body of Hokuriku Province is the ancient Yue Province of Japan.

The ancient Yue country stretched for 800 miles, and expanded along the coast to the northern Dewa country, until the Asahi Mountains.

The Hida Mountains and the Echigo Mountains block the inland and form a long strip of territory.

Among them, there are many large and small plains and bays.

The Imperial Court divided the ancient Kotsu Kingdom into the three kingdoms of Echizen, Echichu, and Echigo.

Later, Kaga and Noto were separated from Echizen, and Sado Island was separated from Echigo as Sado Province.

Together with Wakasa Province, it is known as the Seven Kingdoms of Hokuriku.

Among the seven kingdoms, Echizen Province is the richest, connecting several countries and prospering in commerce.

The leader country is 500,000 high, close to Jiangguo, peeking into the center, and it is an important place in the north a few days away.

Therefore, after the conquest and occupation of Spokao, it was given to the Spo clan to guard.

But at the same time as the rebellion of the eight generals, the Spo family was demoted by the Asakura family and lost the country.

In the face of the brave and warlike first Asakura family governor, between the confrontation between the eastern and western armies of the shogunate, they all chose to buy.

From then on, the Asakura family guarded Echizen Province and was the most successful Shimokajo samurai.

So far, the Asakura family has occupied Echizen for five generations, and the tree has deep roots.

The fourth generation of the Chaocang family governor Xiaojing was wise and martial, and joined forces with the youngest daughter of the first family governor Chaocang Jiaojing to suppress civil strife and steadfastly work on the family business.

He also sent troops to aid the shogunate several times, stabilized the position of the Asakura family in the guardian system, and cleared the notoriety of the Asakura family.

Today's Asakura Governor is her daughter-in-law, the fifth-generation Governor Asakura Yoshijing.

And the three generations of Asakura Kyojing served as the military commissioner of the family, and his prestige was extremely high. The old man entered the Taoist monk, and the Dharma name was Zongdi.

She has never been defeated in battle, and is known as the Asakura military god, the prince of Zongdi, and the Ashikaga military god of Yoshigin, and the prince of Kenshin.

Shifting his gaze from Yoshiyin and his entourage to the north, bordering the border with Omi Province is Tsuruga County, one of the eight prefectures of Echizen.

Tsuruga Bay in the county is the most important port in Echizen, and since ancient times, it has communicated with the Balhai Kingdom for maritime trade, and the trade route goes directly to Kyoto.

Tsuruga Castle, built on a small plain that stretches south from the bay, is an important town for Echizen to spy on.

Tsuruga's journey towards the southern mountain road is one of the three passes that broadly divide the Kanto and Kansai regions, and the Aifa Pass is also the border between Omi and Echizen.

And Tsuruga County to the northeast across the two white mountains, to the foundation of the Asakura family, the Fukui Plain, the Ichijo Valley Castle here is the residence of the Asakura family.

After the rebellion of the Shogun of the Eight Generations, a large number of nobles took refuge here, and the place prospered, and it is known as Echizen Little Kyoto.

Geographically, Tsuruga is the frontier of Echizen's peek into the near future. Far away from the Fukui Plain, it is unique and has a closer relationship with Omi.

From an economic point of view, Tsuruga was the most important trading place between Echizen and Kyoto, and the center of Echizen's commercial interests.

This place is extremely important to the Asakura family, and today's town guard is the Asakura sect Jingjin Dao Zongdi, the military god of the Asakura family.

At this time, Tsuruga Castle castle tower.

Asakura Zongdi was dressed in a plain wrap with his head, did not cover his face, was dressed in a nun suit, and sat cross-legged on the main seat.

She has good facial features, a small face and a long neck, and she was also a beauty when she was young.

Now that he is old, he is decorated with traces drawn by the years, his face is full of stories, and his head is meticulously combed with silver threads.

Lacking energy, she could no longer straighten her back as she had done in previous years, only her eyes still contained strength and shimmered brilliance.

At this moment, holding the paperwork, he asked.

"Asai Nagamasa wrote to me, and Spo Yoshiyin is going to cross the border.

Does the current shogunate still have the strength to intervene in the chaos in the Kanto region? Is it still the Ashikaga family god of war, Spo Yoshigin? ”

With memories on her face, as if remembering her eventful years, she teased Si Po Yiyin, who is also known as the god of war.

The first to sit is the adopted daughter Asakura Jingji, because she has nothing to do, so she has succeeded the daughter of three generations of governors and raised her as an heir.

Asakura Jingqiao's face was full of disdain and said.

"Huangkou is just a child, and he dares to call him the god of war.

The Ashikaga shogun's family was really defeated, and he was reduced to any man who showed off his martial arts. ”

Asakura Sect looked at his adopted daughter dotingly, shook his head, and said.

"For the sake of the general, let him observe all things with a plain mind, and not be arrogant or humble.

You have also read the military newspaper of Qian Xingong, how can such heroes use age and gender to talk about things.

If you need to connect horizontally and vertically one day, how do you stay calm, judge his strength and weakness, weigh your own gains and losses, and make the most appropriate choice? ”

Asakura Sodrip is the daughter of the first generation of the family governor, a second-generation descendant, and has served the leader of the Asakura family for five generations.

Asakura Keiki is the daughter of three generations of governors, but the fourth generation of descendants, two generations behind her. said it was a mother and daughter, but in fact it was a granddaughter.

As the saying goes, there is a way to be a family from one generation to another.

She has always been fond of this child, and at this moment her words are kind and instructive, teaching her to do things.

Asakura Jingji's face turned red, she has also been serving for several years, and she has some experience, and this time she is also fighting for her adoptive mother.

Now that he is spoiled and educated by his adoptive mother as a child, his cheeks are flying, and he feels that he can't hold his face.

Chaocang Zongdi patted the paperwork on his hand and said.

"Go and greet this humble prince for me, please come to Tsuruga Castle for a while. After all, it was the shogunate's envoys who crossed the border, and etiquette should not be taken lightly.

I am also curious about what kind of handsome young man this so-called reincarnation of Tamamo can cause a lot of turmoil in Kyoto. ”

Asakura Jingji pouted and said in disgust.

"It's nothing more than a family bloodline superior to others, can you still be a charming goblin? Kyoto people are the best at boasting, and there are few exaggerated things? ”

Asakura Zongdi glared at her helplessly, she grinned, bowed and retired, and was ordered to greet her.
