Chapter 422: Hurry
Uesugi Terutora saw that Spo Yoshiyin looked tired and still beat his spirits, and persuaded himself bitterly, and his heart softened.
"Well, I'll listen to you. I'll put it on her account first, and I'll count it later. ”
It's not that she doesn't know the drawbacks, but she can't swallow this breath, but the situation is stronger than people, and she naturally knows which is more important.
said she was stupid, but she was very shrewd, and she knew what the result of the attack on Yuezhong was.
Now that he has a ladder to go down the steps, he naturally accepts Sipo Yiyin's kindness and sells him face.
sneered in my heart, it is not too late for a woman to take revenge for ten years, you will wait for me.
Seeing her soft words, Si Bo Yiyin was also relieved and continued.
"What about the territory of Shinkawa County?"
Uesugi Terutora was a little embarrassed.
"Last year, when I played in Vietnam, I had already divided all the territory, and I didn't keep a penny, and I gave it all to my subordinates.
If I turn back at this time, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns, so I'll go back and think of something else to compensate for Shiina Yasuyin.
The commercial dealings of gold, silver, and green hemp can give her an extra cent of profit. ”
Yiyin was disappointed.
The most important territory of the martial family, one is better than countless gold and silver.
Money will be spent, and the territory represents the land and population, that is, food and soldiers, which is especially important for the war-torn samurai society.
If Uesugi Terutora does not return the territory, Shiina Yasuyin is willing, and the Shiina retainers will not give up, and this alliance will end sooner or later.
But at this time, Uesugi Teruhu had just given himself face, and Yoshiin was not good at chattering about persecution, so let's wait until I return to Echigo.
The group rested for the night, replenished some grain and grass, and headed for Matsukura Castle.
Shincheon-gun is densely populated with rivers that flow from the hills on the north side of the Hida Mountains in the south to Toyama Bay in the north, forming a river-shaped water network.
Yoshiin and his entourage followed the Shiina family envoy forward, crossed the Ichikawa River, the Sagetsu River, and arrived at the Kadogawa River.
All the way, with the orders of Shiina Governor in hand, it is naturally smooth.
Matsukura Castle is located north of Tateyama, backed by a mountain range, and in front of it is the origin of the Kadogawa River.
This city is the residence of the Shiina family, and it makes sense that the foundation of the Shiina family has stood for many years.
The best way to get to Matsukura Castle is to cross the river from the lower reaches of the river from the north.
The Uozu Castle, Jinshan Castle, and Tenjin Mountain Castle here are all barriers of Matsukura Castle, and they form horns by the sea and the river.
Matsukura Castle is backed by a mountain range, and in front is blocked by turbulence, and the three castles on the flanks threaten the enemy's logistics line.
If you don't conquer these three cities, the supplies behind you are right under the nose of the other party, and you can't besiege Matsukura Castle for a long time.
The invasion of the Jimbo Chief's position is like fire, and Shiina Yasuyin can block the arrival of Echigo reinforcements, but he is also made out of temper by the terrain of this area.
Yoshiyin and his entourage survived the crisis, and their mood relaxed, and they only waited until Matsukura Castle met Shiina Yasuin, replenished armaments, grain and grass, and went to Echigo Province.
———
Echizen Kuni, Asakura Keiki gritted his teeth and followed the gallop, only to feel that his body was about to fall apart.
Looking at the expressionless Shima Shengmeng beside him, he only felt that this tall, beautiful, and heroic Ji samurai was simply not human.
Just two days after her mother left Tsuruga Castle, she arrived with reinforcements from the Spo family, much to the surprise of Asakura Keiki.
It took seven days to send out the ban, and after a day's delay on the road, the Ji samurai regiment of the Spo family actually came to Echizen in six days, what kind of hellish reaction speed is this?
One hundred and seventy elites are all equipped with twin horses, armed to the teeth, what is the Sibo family going to do with only 200,000 stones? Are you ready to go to Kanto?
Asakura Keiki couldn't understand.
The leading Ji warrior was far taller than ordinary people, dressed in a military uniform and decorated with heroic beauty, and said to her.
"I beg your Excellency to replenish the five days' military supplies, and we will be on our way immediately."
Asakura Keiki frowned.
"Echizen is ploughing in the spring, and I'm afraid that your line of Ji samurai will scare the families along the way, so come with me.
Bring three days' rations, and the rest will be replenished at the Kaga border, my mother should be there, and a supply point is being set up, so I can share some of your money. ”
Shimakatsu bowed politely and said.
"Everything is bothering adults, I don't know how the adults are equestrian?
We are in a hurry, and the transfer of two horses is a bit hard. ”
Asakura Keiki felt that he was being slighted and replied proudly.
"Skilled in bows, don't worry about me."
Looking back now, Asakura Keiki felt that he was really stupid.
Unexpectedly, this heroic woman was so scheming, so that she wanted to vomit blood along the way, and it was not good to propose rest, she seemed to be incompetent, and she was really depressed in her heart.
It's good to enter the Fukui Plain, but walking on the mountain road between Tsuruga and Fukui before is really terrible.
How could Dao Shengmeng think so much, everything she did was to rush to Yuezhong as soon as possible and act as the lord.
After the Kuteryu River, the western end of the Dainysan Valley runs through the valley and the valley floor road connects Echizen Kaga and Gogoku.
Asakura Sote's gathering point was in the area of the Kushiryu River, and Shima Katsutoshi entered the northern part of the Fukui Plain, and there was already a scene of hell on earth in front of him.
Along the way, there were hanged nuns, villagers were busy digging pits and burying people, and Ji warriors happily pulled pack horses to drive the people to transport supplies.
Although Shima Katsutoshi was anxious, he couldn't help but slow down his horse when he saw the spring plowing scene in front of him, which was different from the past, and asked Asakura Keiki beside him for advice.
"Asakura-sama, what are you doing here?"
Asakura Keiki had some speculation in his heart, and Lerma asked the Ji samurai who passed by.
She is the concubine of Zongdi, and her status is not low, so the landlord of the nearby village replied respectfully, and the two of them finally understood.
Asakura Zongdi dropped on the military review, slammed Asakura Yoshikage's face back and forth, and trampled it under his feet.
Asakura Yoshijing, who knew that he had no power to return to the sky, simply pretended to be dead and sat and watched Asakura Zongdi's performance.
Subsequently, the entire Asakura family mobilized, and each branch was profitable, so it naturally responded positively.
More than half of the spring ploughing, it is no longer possible to use all its strength, and each family has transferred manpower to level the surrounding monasteries.
Regardless of whether you are a nun of the same sect or not, all the nuns who resisted were hanged.
Staunch believers were slaughtered, those who lost their way were confiscated, and the gold, silver, grain, and cloth in the monastery were transported to their homes one by one.
Compared with the hard work of spring ploughing, this windfall is like the New Year.
Tsutsui Shunkei's worries in Kyoto have finally shown signs, and the samurai don't care if you are Shingon Sect or Tenjo Sect, it is stupid not to rob if you have money.
When man's intellect is overwhelmed by greed, the ugliest dark side comes to the fore.
The samurai oppressed the bottom, the people were poor, and they used religion to appease their hearts.
Now, all the Buddha believers have been purged, and the samurai who have been burned and plundered under the pretext of burning and killing have led Ashigaru to turn into hungry ghosts and give birth to countless ugliness.
The more Shima Shengmeng listened, the more angry she became, she was high-minded and strictly abided by righteousness.
When he was ostracized and bullied like that in the Tsutsui family, he adhered to the way of the monarch and served the lord loyally.
If it weren't for the third wife of Baidi to tell the truth, the Tsutsui family and the Yanagi family would still be obsessed with the bad things of the island family.
But since following the soft-hearted Yiyin, she finally got what she wanted, and the lord put righteousness and reason first, and she was also extraordinarily energetic.
I didn't want to, but I saw the greedy and evil side of the samurai in Echizen, and I was immediately furious.
can think of Akechi Mitsuhide's earnest admonition when they parted, for the sake of the lord's safety, she had to choose patience, but the eyes that looked at Asakura Keiki were no longer good.
Asakura Keiki was numb by her scalp, and he was also flustered.
She has been spoiled by Asakura Zongdi since she was a child, and in Tsuruga County, she wants the wind to be windy, and she wants to be rainy, how can she ever see such a cruel thing to destroy Buddha.
Seeing that the people were pitiful, they were compassionate, but they knew that they couldn't come nonsense. She just lacks experience, but she still has intelligence.
For her sake, her mother offended Yoshikyo Asakura, the fifth-generation family governor, and then she didn't know where the relationship between the two sides would go.
The evildoers here are all subordinates of the Asakura, and if she stops drinking rashly, she will cause trouble for her mother.
Mother and Asakura Yoshikei are already opposites, so it is too important for the Tsuruga Asakura family to win the support of the Asakura family.
She can't spoil her mother's big things for her own likes and dislikes.
She is dragging her old body desperately for me, how can I pull her back here.
Thinking of this, Asakura Keiki's eyes were sharp, and he didn't fall behind when he looked at Shima Katsuto.
She said.
"Let's hurry up, and listen to the land here, and the mother is not far ahead.
All the supplies were approaching her garrison, and we followed the horses and chariots all the way to get there. ”
Shimakatsu nodded.
The Asakura family is the guardian of Echizen, and the conflict between religion and samurai in the territory is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.
She was just a little indignant that the local martial arts family took the opportunity to knock on the bones and suck the marrow, which violated the righteousness of the martial arts.
But in the final analysis, these things are only morally condemned, and it is indeed the state government of the Asakura family as the guardian of the Echizen domain.
Guarding the exercise of her rights, she is a foreign minister in transit, what qualifications does she have to make irresponsible remarks.
People in troubled times are like mustard, so let's take care of ourselves first.
