different warring states of japan

Chapter 387 Asakura
Yiyin didn't know Todo Toraka's little thoughts, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

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

The martial arts value profit over righteousness, and the way to rule lies in rewards and punishments.

Who is rewarded, how much is rewarded, who is punished, and how much is punished.Grasping the weight of the scale is the most important thing.

You can't expect to lick too many dogs. It's a great fortune to have a few loyal ones, and you have to guard against the possibility of loyal dogs turning back.

The vast majority of Ji warriors are willing to ignore gender distinctions, and when he is the lackey of this male daimyo, what he seeks is fame and fortune.

It is a matter of course for the Wu family to reward the public with grace, and the two sides just take what they need.

Yi Yin glanced at him with lowered eyebrows, secretly watching him from time to time, looking forward to Ishida Mitsunari.

He smiled and said.

"Since Fujitang Hime recommended it, let's accept it.

Ishida Mitsunari, who became an official as Fenggong, with a salary of thirty shi, would you like to accompany me as an envoy to Echigo? "

Ishida Mitsunari was overjoyed, and kowtowed to the ground.

"Yes, Ishida Mitsunari, thank you Your Highness."

She knew that she couldn't join the elite Ji warriors, and Shiba agreed with her.With Yiyin's current status, being close to the banner is not a position that can be randomly assigned.

Ishida Mitsunari was overjoyed to be able to obtain the status of Fenggong and follow Yiyin.

Yi Yin nodded and said.

"Are there any horses?"

Ishida Mitsunari replied.

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

Yiyin couldn't help laughing.

"You are confident, do you think that I will definitely allow you to become an official?
Forget it, let's serve tea well, and we have to hurry after drinking. "

Ishida Mitsunari continued his movements, this time he became cautious, not daring to make any mistakes, and offered the tea to the three adults one by one.

Yoshigin was talking to the two of them, while Uesugi Terutora and Uesizumi Nobutsuna on the side never interrupted.

In their status, they simply don't care about such trivial matters.

For Ishida Mitsunari, the moment of changing fate, in the eyes of these big shots, there is no interest in watching.

After a short rest, Yiyin encouraged Fujido Toraka to say a few words, and the group set off on horseback.After that, there was no twists and turns, all the way to Echizen country.

---

The Emperor's court imitated the Tang Dynasty to divide administrative regions, setting up five bases and seven provinces, and dividing them into sixty-six countries.

Japan is mountainous, and the land is divided into small plains and basins by mountains and hills. Except for nearly five countries, it is mainly divided into seven roads by the direction of mountains.

Afterwards, the shogunate gained power and divided the country again, and also re-planned the administrative jurisdiction, such as the Kwantung General Ten Kingdoms and so on.

However, the sixty-six countries have not changed, and the geographical division of the seven realms is still widely used by martial arts.

The western end of the Hokuriku Road starts from the northern bay of the Omi country, the west is the Wakasa country, and the east is the Echizen country, which is regarded as the starting point of the Hokuriku road.

In the Hokuriku Road, Wakasa, the leading country of [-] stones at the end, is guarded by the Takeda family.

The Takeda family and the Ashikaga family have deep old grievances, and the general has always disliked them.When the shogunate was strong, it often sent the prostitute's daughter to Beijing to serve the public to show respect.

During the time of the Sixth Shogun, Takeda Nv was ordered to conquer the Wakasa country and protect the country with a reward.

From then on, the Kai Takeda family was separated, and the Wakasa Takeda family was established.

The Wakasa country is small and weak, and the main body of the Hokuriku Road is the ancient country of Yue in Japan.

The Ancient Yue Kingdom stretches for eight hundred miles, extending along the coast to the Dewa Kingdom in the north, and ending in the Asahi Mountains.

The Hida Mountains and the Echigo Mountains block the inland, forming a long strip of national territory.

Among them, there are all kinds of plains, large and small, and bays.

The emperor's court divided the ancient Yue Kingdom into three kingdoms: Echizen, Echichu, and Echigo.

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

Together with the Wakasa country, they are collectively known as the Hokuriku Seven Kingdoms.

Among the seven kingdoms, the Echizen kingdom is the most prosperous, connected to several countries, and has prosperous business.

The stone of the leading country is [-] high, it is close to the Jiang country, and the peeping center is an important place in the north a few meters away.

Therefore, after Sibo Gao was conquered and occupied, it was sealed to the Shibozong family to guard it.

But at the same time as the Eighth Shogun Rebellion, the Shiba family was suppressed by the Asakura family and lost the country.

In the face of the first generation Asakura Family Governor who was brave and skilled in battle, in the confrontation between the Eastern and Western armies of the shogunate, they all chose to buy.

Since then, the Asakura family has guarded the Echizen Kingdom and is the most successful Xiakeshang samurai family.

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

Xiao Jing, the governor of the fourth generation of Asakura family, is wise and martial, and joins forces with the youngest daughter of the first governor, Asakura Jiaojing, to suppress civil strife and stabilize the family business.

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

The present Governor of the Asakura Family is her daughter-in-law, Yoshikage Asakura, the Governor of the Five Dynasties.

As for the three generations of Chaocang Jiaojing, they served as the envoy of the family army, and their prestige was extremely high.He became a monk at an old age, and his Dharma name is Zongdi.

She has never been defeated in battle, and is known as the Asakura Army God, Sodi Gong, and the Ashikaga Army God of Yoshihiro, Kenshin.

Moving north from Yoshihiko and his party, Tsuruga County, one of the eight Echizen counties, borders the border of Omi.

Tsuruga Bay in the county is the most important port in Echizen. Since ancient times, it has communicated with Balhae for sea trade, and the trade route goes directly to Kyoto.

Tsuruga Castle, built on a small plain extending southward from the bay, is an important town for Echizen to spy on the near future.

Tsuruga is heading towards the southern mountain road, which is one of the three passes that divide the Kanto and Kansai in a broad sense. Aifa Pass is also the border between Omi and Echizen.

And Tsuruga County crossed the Liangbai Mountains to the northeast, and arrived at the foundation of the Asakura family, the Fukui Plain, where the Ichijo Valley Castle was the residence of the Asakura family.

After the Rebellion of Eight Generation Shoguns, a large number of nobles took refuge here and prospered here, known as Echizen Little Kyoto.

From a geographical point of view, Tsuruga County is the frontier of Echizen's peek into Japan.Far away from the Fukui Plain, it is an independent body and has a closer relationship with Omi.

From an economic point of view, Tsuruga County is also the most important business place between Echizen and Kyoto, and the center of Echizen's commercial interests.

This place is extremely important to the Chaocang family, and the current guardian of the county is Chao Cangjiaojing and Daozongdi, the military god of the Chaocang family.

At this time, the castle tower of Tsuruga Castle.

Sodi Asakura, dressed in a plain head wrap, not covering his face, and a nun outfit, sat cross-legged in the main seat.

She has good features, a small face and a long neck. 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 hair is meticulously combed with silver threads.

Lacking energy, she was no longer able to straighten her back all the time like in previous years, only her eyes still contained strength and shone with brilliance.

At this moment, he held the document and asked.

"Asai Nagamasa wrote to me that Shiba Yoshigin is going to cross the border.

Today's shogunate still has the power to intervene in the chaos in Kanto?Is it the Ashikaga army god Shibo Yoshihim who went? "

With memories on her face, as if recalling her own glorious years, she made a small joke about Shiba Yiyin, who is also known as the military god.

The first person to sit next was the adopted daughter Asakura Jingji. Because she had nothing to do, she adopted the daughter of the family governor of three generations and raised her as the heir.

Asakura Jingqiao said with disdain on her face.

"Huangkou is just a child, and he dares to be called a military god.

General Ashikaga's family has really fallen, and it has been reduced to the point where any man can show off his martial arts. "

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

"A general should observe all things with a normal mind, neither arrogant nor humble.

You have also read the military newspaper of Lord Kenshin, how can such heroes be judged by their age and gender.

If one day you need to combine horizontal and vertical, how can you keep calm, judge his strength, weigh your own gains and losses, and make the most suitable choice? "

Asakura Sodi is the daughter of the governor of the first family, a descendant of the second generation, who has served the leaders of the five generations of the Asakura family.

Asakura Jingji is the daughter of the three generations of family governors, and she is the fourth generation descendant, two generations behind her.They say they are mother and daughter, but in fact they are granddaughters.

As the saying goes, there is a saying, one generation after another.

She has always doted on this child, and now she is teaching her how to do things in a persuasive and persuasive manner.

Chao Cang Jingji's face flushed, she had served her for several years, she had some experience, and this time she spoke for her adoptive mother's injustice.

Now being pampered and educated by her adoptive mother as a child, her cheeks are glowing, and she feels unable to hold her face.

Asakura Sodi clapped the paperwork in his hand and said.

"Go and greet this Kenshin for me, and please come to Tsuruga Castle for a talk. After all, the shogunate envoys are passing through, and etiquette should not be taken lightly.

I'm also curious about how handsome this young man, who is known as the reincarnation of Tamazao, is able to provoke such a disturbance in Kyoto. "

Asakura Jingji curled his lips and said in disgust.

"It's nothing more than a superior family background, but can you still be a charming goblin? People in Kyoto are the best at bragging. Are there few things that are exaggerated?"

Asakura Zongdi gave her a helpless look, she grinned, bowed and left, and was ordered to greet her.
