Pillars of the Wu family

Nearly [-]% of Echizen Kingdom’s fiscal and tax revenue comes from Tsuruga County, and the remaining [-]% comes from Mikuni Minato, which cannot always guarantee absolute safety, and tax revenue from commercial facilities including Ichijodani Castle Town. On the contrary, the Asakura family comes from the village The Duan money and donated money collected from the village are actually not much. A large number of temples, government officials, and shogunate manors in the country still maintain a semi-independent attitude, and some people enjoy the privilege of guarding and not entering the Asakura family. The degree of centralization has always remained at the mid-to-low level.

In a sense, Yoshikage Asakura, the family governor, relies on several tax revenues to maintain a luxurious life, and nearly [-]% of the territory of the Echizen Kingdom is controlled by the people of the same name, genealogists, nationals, temples, ministers, and manors of the shogunate. In his hands, these financial and tax revenues have to be sieved by big heads such as Tsuruga County Secretary, which shows that the actual control of his family governor is still very weak.

Ichijoya has only about [-] troops, which can only be compared with the relatively weaker Ashbata Gunji among the people with the same name. , Asakura Yoshikage will choose to set up a group of performers to decentralize power from the power-holders, and take away the position of Asakura Army General from the richest Tsuruga County Secretary, etc., that is, there are actual actions to show that he is The governor of the family is dissatisfied with the powerful Pu Dai Yimen.

The total force retained by the Echizen Kingdom exceeds 5000, but Asakura Yoshikage can only mobilize about [-]% of them at most. And in the crusade against Yixiang Yikui, the Dunhe people invested [-] troops, so it can be seen that Tsuruga has [-] troops in one county.

Although the [-] troops do not mean that they are forces that Tsuruga County Secretary can control, they come from the rebel army spontaneously organized by the local lords to surround their homes.But this also reflects from the side how poor the control power of Yoshikage Asakura is.As the supervisor of his family, he is very uncomfortable being constrained everywhere.Only some unconventional methods can be used to seize power.

When he faced the huge threat from the Kira family, he realized that he had no power to resist at all. Once the Kira family seized Tsuruga Port, it would not only directly endanger the entire interests of Tsuruga County Secretary, but also threaten Asakura Yoshike, who is not strong at all. The loss of core interests, the loss of the benefits of Tsuruga Port will bring huge disasters to the Asakura family, and it may decline from there.

Yoshikage Asakura was really scared, and he just wanted to understand a simple truth at this time, the Asakura family can threaten the Kira family with the commercial road pass, and the Kira family can threaten the Asakura family with maritime hegemony.This is called repaying the person in the same way as the person. In contrast, the Asakura family has no more ways to deal with the Kira family.

Dajue Temple Yijun folded his hands together and saluted: "From the point of view of the poor monk, the Jinwu Palace and the Lord of the Town are both good ministers of the shogunate, so it is even more important to turn the sword into a jade silk, so as not to cause the disaster of swords and soldiers to wreak havoc on the world and lead to disasters... The poor monk has already put If you bring the words of Sado Shoudian, you will not bother the Jinwu Hall anymore, so farewell!"

After Daikakuji Yoshitoshi left for a long time, Asakura Yoshikage still couldn't get out of his stupor, and hurried to the evaluation room to hold a small evaluation meeting. The topic of discussion was the threat of war issued by the Kira family.Qianbo Jingding sighed and said: "Master Min Jing said in modern times that the world is in danger and the family business is difficult! At first we were quite disapproving of the legacy of the sages, and felt that the prosperity of Chaocang's family was the time to work hard and say something discouraged. Despondent words are a bit too self-deprecating...[

It was only at this moment that I realized that the world changes like the shadow of the moon in the water. People can't figure out which is real and which is an illusion. It is difficult to surround the world with powerful enemies. My Chaocang family is between two major forces, and it is hard to offend either side It will have a profound impact on myself, but it is really trembling like walking on thin ice! "

The legacy of Maeba Jingding is "Yinglin Wall Book", which contains a lot of experience in dealing with people and things that Asakura Toshikage has summed up over decades, including many admonitions such as bravery, unity, self-discipline and frugality, because the time to write it is still Ming Before the coup, the Asakura family had a difficult life, but with the changes in the world, the governor of the Asakura family felt that these family instructions were not up to date with the actual situation, so Zhu Junan abandoned them.

Yoshikage Asakura's face turned green and pale 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 Jinjiangyue Three Kingdoms Alliance misunderstood me! If I had known, my family should not have participated In this Three Kingdoms Alliance, the lessons learned from Jia Xiangjun’s Three Kingdoms Alliance are still in front of us, why does my family still trust the sweet words of Miyoshi’s family?”

He will not admit how proactive he was when he founded the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and he will not admit that half a year ago he was still advocating sanctions against Omi Sakamoto's Kira family territory, which was established within the three counties of Echizen Omi a few months ago. The customs office, as well as the actions of mobilizing the people of Takashima Prefecture, bewitching the Tango Isshiki family, and the Wakasa Takeda family targeting the Kira family are all tricks concocted by him.

But now that the Kira army came to show off his power, he felt that it was Miyoshi Changqing's mistake that prompted all this. Without the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai, he would not have been hit. Maybe Sanlihama riots 』And the death of Asakura Keiyu will also disappear. If Asai Nagamasa is not so watery but continues to use his magical skills to defeat the Kira family again in the Battle of Kidake and keep Ika County safe, there will be no Tsuruga County. He won't be intimidated by people who have been attacked and burnt down.

It is only other people's fault that he will always be the victim's mentality, which highlights that the governor's psychology is completely abnormal. Asakura Yoshikage seems to be aware that his mind is a little "disordered", and he often feels that the little prime minister is by his side , was even talking to him in the room just now, and occasionally in his sleep, he would see that face that was beyond recognition with a big blood hole left. There is a real mental problem.

The headache came as soon as it was said, and Asakura Yoshikage held his head and got up and said: "My family has a headache and needs to rest, and I will leave these matters to the gentlemen to deal with!"

Watching Asakura Yoshikage leave, the descendants of the Asakura family discussed how to deal with it one by one. Some retainers think that they should not be subdued at this time and should remain firm. Offending the Kira family before offending the Miyoshi and Asai families would only be a disaster for the Asakura family.

But this argument is clearly untenable.If it was a few months ago, they still had the confidence to fight against the Kira family.Right now, everyone in the Chaokura family knows that they can no longer fight.The confrontation between the Tsuruga people and the Ono people is a big trouble. Asakura Keiji has not directly accused Asakura Keiji until now, but it will not be too long before the days of completely tearing up his face, and turning his head to look at the Kira family will be a big problem. It is really a big force that cannot be offended.

The absence of the three elders with the same name made the meeting less authoritative. Yoshiya Yamazaki glanced at the many officials in the room and said softly: "I will not discuss this matter for my own public opinion. I will talk about it next time." It’s because the lord’s mental state is very subtle. In recent days, the lord’s behavior has become more and more strange. Almost every day, there will be news from Honmaru that the surname and the maids are being punished. The surname and the maids spend the whole day in fear. It’s not a solution, sooner or later it will affect the stability of the family business.”

"That's right. The two wives beside the lord have passed away. I feel that I should find another gentle and beautiful lady for the lord, and use the tenderness of a woman to heal the wounds in the heart of the lord." The first half of Kawai Yoshitaka's speech was relatively It's normal, the following part has the meaning of writing deviant, which caused a burst of understanding laughter in the evaluation room.

Fukuoka Yoshiki expressed his dissatisfaction with a muffled snort, but he was quite moved by this proposal in his heart.After pondering in my heart for a while, I suggested: "It is said that there is a handsome and pleasant person in the Saito Bingbu Shaosuke Hall, and his personality is also gentle and kind. He is praised by others. How about choosing this woman from Saito Bingbu Shaosuke's family? ?”

……

Yoshiki Kira sorted out the information sent by the Kira ninja, and he had a general understanding of the situation in Kinai. The Echizen Asakura family broke out fiercely as expected, and the most powerful ninai members of the Asakura family also did as expected. Heading towards a path of no return to complete confrontation, as long as there are Kira ninjas fanning the flames and creating troubles, there is no need to worry about the possibility of the two families getting along in harmony.

Asai Nagamasa, known as the star of hope for the new generation in Kinai, has also tested his true level in several brief encounters with Yamamoto Tokiyuki. He is talented, brave and tenacious. The most important feature is that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth. Even the combination of Kira Jun and Yamamoto Tokiyuki dared to collide once, and another advantage is that the boy has a handsome face. [

There are advantages and disadvantages, and Asai Nagamasa's shortcomings are also very obvious. The most important one is blind self-confidence and a relatively simple understanding of military strategy. The time is to send Masahiro Isano as the first line to attract firepower, and then Asai Nagamasa leads the line to attack the flanks in a roundabout way. These three-axe moves are cheerful but also expose his limited talents.

Judging from the current situation, Asai Nagamasa is an excellent samurai who has the talent to lead the army, but does not have the aura to be the general general. In addition, in terms of intelligence and strategy, from the current situation, he is completely unqualified. Takanose Hidetaka is acting on behalf of others with fake hands, which shows that he is not an excellent strategist. He is somewhat similar to Takikawa Tokimashi and Honjo Shigecho, but he lacks their rich knowledge and sophisticated methods, and he lacks the ability to fight against a hundred. Bravery and boldness.

Compared with Asai Nagamasa's deep and cunning father, he is still far behind. Combined with some rumors that Asai Hisamasa was claustrophobic, it was actually a play performed by himself and his son Asai Nagamasa. Reverse the main contradiction of Asai Hisamasa's ruling period, when he was subordinated to the Hexagonal family and gained humiliation, and the internal law satisfied the self-reliance demands of the restless people.

Perhaps it was because he believed that his son would be able to "excellently" display the talents of the family governor, so Asai Hisamasa directed and acted out a bitter trick to retire easily. Facts have proved that Asai Nagamasa does have extraordinary strength. Contributed to the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai and became the son-in-law of the Miyoshi family, the brother-in-law of Asakura Yoshikage, and then defeated the old enemy Rokkaku Yoshin to gain complete independence in form. The goal established at the time of retirement.

However, Asai Hisamasa's retirement still exposed the shortcomings of Asai Nagamasa's lack of experience. His strong character can win the support of the people of the country, and at the same time it is easy to cause him many unnecessary troubles. For example, Asai Nagamasa questioned The death of his elder sister Akuhime caused displeasure to the Asakura family, and his reckless military action against the Kira family aroused dissatisfaction among many people in Ika County.

The powerful people in Ika County and Asai Nagamasa's grandfather Keimoto Iguchi secretly betrayed and were kept in the dark, and the important bargaining chip Kyo Gokichi and his family were easily rescued by Kira Ninja. This is the thriving family business of the Asai family. The bomb was buried deep, but no one noticed it before it detonated.

As for the last and most important part of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai, the Miyoshi family.The current form is not to mention how wonderful.In the case of simultaneous problems with the other two members of the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai.Miyoshi Changqing has no spare power to provide military support, which also reduces the prestige of the Triple Alliance to a certain extent.

The Miyoshi family was dragged down by Hatakeyama Takashi in Hanoi. This guy was a very difficult thorn in the beginning. The Hanoi Hatakeyama family is a powerful family of the shogunate and one of the three leaders. The family can be traced back to Genpei Kamakura The era has countless glory and glorious history, and its influence in the country of Hanoi can only be described as flourishing. If you look at Yuzuo Xinjiao's apostasy, you will know that the choice between the two will not be easy for this group of people. Change.

If we say that Hatakeyama Takamasa a few years ago was just a reckless young man.Now he not only receives a lot of money from the Kira family, but also often accepts advice from the wise general Yamamoto Tokiyuki. Although this guy's brain structure is always different from normal people, he often throws Yamamoto Tokiyuki's proposals aside and fights head-on. A small loss, but the overall performance tends to be more difficult.

It's so annoying that the brown sugar sticks to your hands and can't be shaken off, but this Hanoi country was once swallowed by Miyoshi's family. When I felt that I had made a lot of money, I found that the fish bone was stuck in my throat. I was so uncomfortable that I wanted to die. Spit it out and fear that the fish bones will become a regular explosion and blow a big hole in Miyoshi's weak foundation, so it's so painful to dawdle in such a dilemma.

Miyoshi Changqing hated Hatakeyama Takamasa extremely.But this unbeatable Xiaoqiang always reappeared after being frustrated, and got up from wherever he fell and continued to entangle.The harmed Miyoshi family must send general Miyoshi Yoshiken to lead an army of [-] to suppress it. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there has not been a month of complete stability.

In addition to this trouble, there is another annoying guy who makes Miyoshi Changqing a headache. His name is Hatano Hideji. His blood has not stopped since the recapture of Yagi Castle. The reason is sad to unite the people of Tanba who are unwilling to be ruled by the rude and arrogant Miyoshi family. In the military, they have always maintained a strong suppression of Naito Zongkatsu of Yagi Castle, making Miyoshi The family's operations in Danbo are 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 him. As a declining family, the Akamatsu family still maintains a weak influence on Harima, Misaku, Bizen and other neighboring countries, especially the Harima country. The influence is very far-reaching. The Nishi Harima guardian Dai Uno Akamatsu clan and the Higashi Harima guardian Daibesho clan are all branches of the Akamatsu family. Once the family finds a suitable reason to unite, it is still a headache for opponents to really exert their strength. , The defeat of Miyoshi Yoshiken in Harima last time is a clear proof.

With the pregnancy of Hatano Hideji's wife, the connection between Harima and Tanba has been further deepened. It is said that the two guards of Harima have already discussed the countermeasures. However, if she gave birth to a son-in-law and married Masahide Akamatsu's daughter-in-law as wife, the news would be enough to shock and scare Miyoshi Changqing.

The Akamatsu family's domestic demand in military diplomacy made Miyoshi Changqing realize that he was a bit overbearing. With the strong enemy of the Kira family, he was difficult to deal with. He couldn't sleep well, and he couldn't make more enemies to provoke the Miyoshi family. Troublesome, so under the leadership of avoiding making more enemies, Miyoshi Changqing was a little more tolerant of Tanba's actual controller Hatano Hideji.

Miyoshi Changqing is willing to give Hideji Hatano more autonomy, tacitly allow him to dominate the existing territory and maintain the real name of Tanba King, and not allow him to make a series of dangerous military provocations against Yagi Castle, as long as the Hatano family is willing to accept nominal subordination Miyoshi's conditions are easy to talk about.

From the perspective of Miyoshi Changqing, the conditions he is willing to offer can be described as low-key. Such a calm appeasement one year in advance is definitely a fantasy, but the situation is stronger than others, and flexible adjustments are required to adapt to this situation. In an era full of crises and opportunities, he asked himself that this choice can be regarded as a major change that he has actively adjusted in recent years.

However, he still misjudged Hatano Hideji's hatred for the Miyoshi family, and even more wrongly judged the influence that the Kira family exerted on Hatano Hideji. Every year, he paid a lot of money to support the Hatano family's resistance to the Miyoshi family's tyranny. With the huge influence of the country, these conditions are conditions that Miyoshi's family will never give him, because if he gives them to a family, he will face more hands in the territory.This point is absolutely unbearable to the Miyoshi family.

The so-called granting autonomy is what he owns, and it is not called granting.It's just that what's the use of securing the Hatano family.What he wants is to completely dominate the Tanba Kingdom and complete the Warring States Daimyo. In this process, he cannot do without the financial assistance of the Kira family, let alone the anti-Miyoshi name brought about by the invasion of Naito Sokatsu. Without this name, what can he do? Order the people of Danba, what to use to complete the process of becoming a famous name in the Warring States Period.

Not to mention that under the influence of this name, the imperial court and the shogunate obviously paid more attention and favor to Hatano Hideji, and married a little beauty from the Akamatsu family who was against the three good families as the wife. good deal.May I ask, who in the world can resist the choice of gaining all benefits and only one harm?

Hideji Hatano refused Miyoshi Changqing's olive branch without hesitation, and ridiculed Miyoshi's family for only now thinking of treating the people of Tamba preferentially, so why did he inflict such cruelty on his father in the early years, and why he repeatedly bullied and insulted the people of Tamba, and Denounce Miyoshi Changqing as a hypocrite through and through, who used his hands stained with the blood of the innocent to complete the downfall and become the leader of the superior.

Miyoshi Changqing was embarrassed and ashamed by the righteous refusal. After so many years, no one dared to accuse him so openly. This Hideji Hatano not only refused his olive branch, but also took the opportunity to publicize it to elevate himself. A statement defying power.And let Miyoshi's family act as a buffoon in this incident, how can this not make him angry and angry.

Miyoshi Changqing hates Hatano Hideji.The mentality of fear and resentment, I hate Hideji Hatano's hostile and disobedient attitude towards me, I am afraid of the influence of the Hatano family on the people of Tamba and the Harima Akamatsu family, I resent this guy who has repeatedly failed to understand what is good or bad, and dares to use his name to buy himself good reputation.

He didn't dare to expose the weakness of the Miyoshi family from the side. In the propaganda of Kira Ninja, Miyoshi Changqing became a villainous samurai who bullied the weak and feared the tough. Under the superficial obedience of the court shogunate, a greedy and vicious heart was hidden. , The claustrophobic Harumoto Hosokawa embodies his rebellion and injustice, and his repeated threats to the government of the shogunate expose his vicious heart.

Repeatedly failed under the counterattack of Kira's family, it was difficult to deal with the brave Hatakeyama Takamasa, the very naive Rokkaku Joshin, and the weaker Hatano Hideji, again and again exposing Miyoshi Changqing's weak "nature". He will bully fellow clans, bully the weakened masters, bully generals who have been weakened after repeated chaos, and bully the court and princes who are powerless.

Faced with such vicious rumors, even Miyoshi Changqing couldn't help but change his face. It seems that this rumor is not as terrible as the previous demons and ghosts, such as Yasha, but in fact this rumor is to put gods, gods, ghosts, etc. The elusive things are materialized, and a more specific description of Miyoshi Changqing's character, bullying the weak, fearing the hard, greedy and vicious is enough to shape his image into a samurai clown.

In the future, his reputation in Ji Nei will change from the most popular monster among children to the yellow flag star that the people of the Li people will change their colors when they hear it. To give birth to disagreements, one of the times when he was passing by the courtyard, he overheard Xiao Xing talking about the reputation of the governor, and his words seemed to be very disdainful of Miyoshi Changqing's internal and external comparisons.

In the past, he had never noticed how important his reputation was to him. It was only when he encountered this incident that he realized that his reputation had become even worse. The servants of Pu Dai could not bear that their lord was a despicable villain who bullied the weak and feared the hard. Well, Miyoshi's family doesn't need a notorious family governor, and too much stigma will damage Miyoshi Changqing's prestige.

The heavy worry made Miyoshi Changqing no longer have the mind to deal with the Kira family. He brought five hundred elite banners to the Jiaowang Huguo Temple in Kyoto, and continued to appear in various public places to participate in cultural activities in Kyoto, and worked hard. Doing good deeds to help poor townspeople repair the damaged Buddhist temples and pagodas in Kyoto, and try to use this action to improve their accumulated notoriety.

……

Under the "control" of the Kira ninjas, all kinds of tricks and methods are used to exert adverse effects on the Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai. This is because Koga and Iga, the main components of the Kira ninjas, are in the circle of influence in Kinki , There are 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 in the civilian class in Kinai.

On the other hand, the accumulation of the Kira family in Kinai is too strong. For 200 years, the governor of the Kira family has served the shogun in Kyoto. Relationships are meaningless to ordinary samurai.But under the influence of Kira's family and money to clear the way, it became an excellent stepping stone.

These are difficult to imitate by the Miyoshi family who lack the background.Miyoshi Chang Qingming knows that he has been led by the nose, but there is nothing he can do.Several attempts at countermeasures have ended in failure, which shows that they are far inferior to the Kira family in terms of resource utilization. As for the other two families of the Triple Alliance, they were completely manipulated by Kira Yoshitoki. Yin Shi still doesn't know how he died.

"The Three Kingdoms Alliance in Kinai is nothing more than mediocre, I just need to use ingenious tricks to turn them into a bunch of waste surrounded by internal and external troubles." Yoshihiro Kira paced back and forth and thought secretly: "In contrast, the samurai family in Kanto seems to be It is even more difficult to deal with. After finally planting a bomb and a poison bait in Takeda's house, it is really troublesome that the cunning Takeda Shingen can resist to bite the bait!

Hojo Shiyasu, the old fox, is even more slippery. The three generations of the Hojo family managed to start with the iron wall built by the two countries of Sagami and Izu, so that Yu couldn't grasp Hojo's weakness and make adjustments... The three old foxes are as cunning as ghosts.It's a big grade better than the bunch of idiots in Kinai! "

After thinking for a while, I decided to put aside my troubles for the time being, and I remembered that when I was listening to Huzai Zongyi's lecture a few days ago, I met a strange and familiar Tiantai monk, Longxing Temple Suifeng, strange faces, strange people and familiar people. The name and familiar deeds, he doesn't know where Longxing Temple is, but it doesn't prevent him from remembering that there was a Tiantai sect monk from Ozhou in the Warring States Period, Monk Suifeng.

This bold young monk dared to use the past to describe the present, pointing at him and scolding Huai, saying "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone", and also said that Sima Zhao usurped the throne halfway, and Sima Yan abdicated to proclaim himself emperor, implying that he wanted to learn from Sima Zhaoxing's abdication To win the position of general, this astonishing move almost scared Huzai Zongyi into a faint.

Kira Yoshishi rarely showed any expressions of surprise and anger.Although he has always appeared in front of the world as a guardian of the shogunate or a loyal minister, he has maintained a good reputation from beginning to end without any notoriety.But this does not prevent the smart people in the world from discovering that he has "Sima Zhao's heart", and Kira's family has always had a deep understanding of this and a high degree of tacit understanding.

For example, Uesugi Terutoro hides his thoughts and is willing to be a taciturn family leader who also sees that he has this thought. He is always entangled in not knowing how to face it, so he devotes himself to religion to escape, and the Kira family Several of the main opponents in the game can more or less guess his true ambitions. In the words of Kira Yoshitoki, this is called "can do things that cannot be said".

Yoshishi Kira left a deep impression on this daring monk, and decided on the spot to leave him as the vice-officer. After the samurai deduced it into a classic that ascended to the sky, more and more hairy boys ran to Kira's house and uttered amazing words. Although most of them were not awake and talking nonsense, it really made people laugh. The adherents found gold in a few grains of sand, so there must be gains and losses.

"Smart, bold and careful observation, and especially daring to think and dare to do it! This wind is so interesting!" Kira Yoshihito looked at the sunset in the distance and smiled knowingly, and slowly left the castle tower and walked towards the imperial palace surrounded by deep forests. There was his wife and children waiting for this husband and father.

During this year, Kirayoshi added another son and three daughters, which completely dissipated the concerns of the retainers about the thinness of the family governor. The second son Katsuomaru is a vigorous little guy, and he cries the loudest every time he is hungry. Babbling and babbling without going to sleep after eating milk, he stretched out his hand to touch the little pendant hanging on the cradle, compared to his older sister, Little Apple, who was much more stable, ate and slept very little Crying, I don't like to cry even when I'm awake, but open my eyes and look at the strange world curiously.

Hu Ji and Xiang Ji are much smaller than Little Apple and Katsuo Maru, and the number of troubles is relatively more frequent, and it is day and night regardless of the time of trouble, so the wet nurse and several maids are busy taking care of them. Fortunately, the baby's room is a little far from the room where their mothers rest, so it won't make a few puerperas who have just given birth suffer any more. (To be continued..)
