The four hundred and nineteenth chapters are all against
Chaocang Zongdi saw the governor's face ashen and sneered in his heart.
Asakura Yoshikage is a mediocre person. She has known this for a long time, but she has confirmed it again today.
Why did all the Asakura branches actively respond to her call? Why did the Ono people ignore Asakura Kagami, the Ono County magistrate, and obey her words?
Because of profit, stupid governor.
Asakura Yoshikage, who was obsessed with the power and prestige of the family governor, was confused and ignored the nature of the samurai family.
The martial artists gathered under one family name and offered their loyalty to the family governor. For what reason?
It is to protect your own interests and get more benefits.
There are three main forces in Echizen.
One is the Tsuruga clan, which is entrenched in the north of Omi country. It has close relations with Omi country and is alienated from the country.
The second is the Mabara area after crossing the mountains to the north from Tsuruga County. This is the territory of the domestic samurai family who submitted to the protection of Echizen.
In the past, she was loyal to protecting the Shiba family, and now she is loyal to protecting the Asakura family. The Asakura family is both useful and defensive to them.
The third is the Fukui plain, which accounts for most of Echizen's 500,000 koku. It is the essence of the country, and most of the Asakura branch families are entrusted here.
The Tsuruga clan with the strongest centrifugal force rebelled in the third generation and were put down by Asakura Sotetsu. Asakura Sotetsu, who was loyal to his master's family, was granted the title of Tsuruga County Secretary.
The guardian samurai family of the Shinara area was pinched by the northern and southern Asakura families, so they had no choice but to live in peace and quiet. From then on, there was peace in the country.
Among the Asakura families on the Fukui Plain, the most difficult situation was for the Asakura family of Ono County.
Ono County is located in the mountains to the east of the Fukui Plain. The land is barren and life is difficult. The samurai family is also the best at fighting.
To the west of Ono County is the seat of the Asakura Clan of Ichijodani Castle. It is backed by the eastern mountainous area and radiates to the western plain, occupying a large area of safe and prosperous fields in the central part of the Fukui Plain.
The northern part of the Fukui Plain was divided among the Asakura clans, and the Daihi Mountain located to the north of them was the dividing line with Kaga Country.
In recent years, the Kaga Ichigo clan has used religion to pave the way, spreading faith in northern Echizen, establishing temples, and strictly guarding its privileges, which has long been hated by the Asakura branch families.
The samurai family brutally exploited the lower class, and a large number of people attached themselves to the Ichigo clan, which became an unstoppable force in northern Echizen.
Now that Honganji Temple has become a leader and has made it clear that it wants to expand the Buddhist kingdom on earth, how can every family not panic after receiving reports from the Asakura sect.
As for the Great Wilderness, they have always been used as watchdogs by the Asakura Clan of Ichijogani Castle.
When the Kaga Kingdom in the north was disturbed, dogs were unleashed to attack Ichimon. When nothing happened, he was fed with scraps of food, half hungry and half full.
Even if you are a dog, you can't stand it any longer. They are all divided into Asakura families. Why should you eat meat and I eat meat?
Whenever the Ono people go to the north to fight, don't they covet the land of Kaga Country? After the Daihi Mountain, the area around the Daisho River is a fertile plain extending to the north!
The Asakura clan has lived a good life in Ichijogani City for three generations, and has accumulated a lot of conflicts.
If it weren't for the giant Buddha of Asakura Sodi, there would have been a quarrel in the family.
Now Asakura Zongdi wants to break up with the Zong family and have a fight with Bei Xiang Zongda, who doesn't support it?
The one who doesn’t support it is Sun Tzu! What the hell! What the hell, Yi Xiangzong!
Asakura Sodi has already seen through everything, and everything he does is for the benefit of the Asakura branch family.
And Asakura Yoshikage is still struggling with her own majesty, how can she fight with Sotechi?
Even if we bring in the public from Chenggucheng, there will only be a few more people watching her embarrassment.
Fortunately, we didn't call the local martial arts family in the Shinke area, otherwise the Asakura clan would have been completely disgraced in the country.
Asakura Yoshikage had a stinky face, not wanting to be silently humiliated anymore, so he spoke.
"Is Mr. Zongdi planning to cross me and start a war with Yixiang Zong?
Do you still have me as the governor in your eyes?"
Next, I shook my head secretly towards Cang Jingjing. My sister was too upset.
All the first moves have been lost. The best thing to do at this time is to be patient. She is still young, but Mr. Zongdi is too old.
Today's head-on confrontation will only bring humiliation to oneself, further weakening the authority of the host family, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Asakura Sodi glanced at the angry Asakura Yoshikage and said calmly.
"The governor misunderstood, I was just exercising my authority.
It must be valued by the ancestors. I have been in the position of leader of the Asakura family army for three generations. I weigh the pros and cons and it is my duty to go to war abroad.
Please don’t be offended by the governor."
Asakura Yoshikage said angrily.
"Always religious fanatics, Kaga Country is known as a country of common people, with an army of 300,000.
If Duke Zongdi starts a war easily, he is afraid that the consequences will be difficult to deal with."
Asakura Sodi chuckled and answered.
"The Yixiang Sect may seem huge, but it is actually vulnerable. The family governor is not familiar with military affairs, so he will inevitably be confused by its appearance."
The martial artists who made the review had strange faces, lowering their heads and trying not to laugh.
To say that the Wu family is incompetent in military affairs is to point your nose at people and call them useless. The governor's face turned blue.
Asakura Sotechi continued.
"The height of the Kaga Kingdom's stone is only 350,000, so where will the food come from to feed an army of 300,000?
Even if the entire population of the country becomes a soldier, the number will not exceed 200,000. To drive the old, weak, men and children into battle is just to kill innocent souls with the sword."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Wu family present laughed out loud.
He has always had a great reputation, but when it comes to fighting, the Wu family is not afraid of those untouchables who lead the army.
Asakura Yoshikage looked unhappy and retorted.
"Even so, there is really no point in provoking a war and wasting food and salary."
Asakura Sotechi caught her mistake and counterattacked.
"Why doesn't it make sense?
In recent years, the Xiangzong sect has used Kaga Country as its foundation to radiate to the northern part of Echizen.
Attracting believers, building temples, and refusing to pay taxes, it already looks like a country within a country.
If the hidden dangers are not eradicated and the Yixiang Sect takes the initiative to launch the Yixiang Yikui, I am afraid that the entire area north of the Kuzuryu River will be ravaged by the Yixiang sect.
It will be too late to react after that, and all the territories in the north will be trampled on."
Her words brought tears to the eyes of the families in the northern part of the Fukui Plain, and they looked at the governor with unkind eyes.
Duke Zongdi is right, the family governor is not knowledgeable in military matters.
Asakura Zongdi changed the topic again and said.
“My purpose in this Northern Expedition is to expel the nuns from the country, bulldoze their temples, disperse the believers, and restore peace to each family.
My family and the Yixiang Sect have different interests, and sooner or later we will have to fight.
In this case, it is better to fight in Kaga territory than on my home plain of Fukui.
The goal of this battle is to break through Dainichi Mountain and send troops to Minami Kaga from the Dainichi Mountain Valley.
Advance to the Daisho River and confront the Ichigo clan across the river to prevent them from infiltrating Echizen again.
The area from Mount Dainichi to the Daisho River is entrusted to the Ono people with territorial security, and the threat of the Ichigo clan is kicked out of the Echizen border."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience suddenly became excited.
The Daisheng River has abundant water resources and fertile fields on both sides, which is what the wild people living in remote areas long for.
After Asakura Sodi finished speaking, she glanced at Asakura Jingjing. The people behind her were also looking at her, waiting for the answer from the Ono County Sheriff.
Asakura Scene was sweating on the camera, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn on her back, or a lump in her throat. What could she say?
Of course I support it! If I don’t support it, I’m afraid I might get violently ill and die accidentally if I go back.
Following her statement, Asakura Yoshikage closed his eyes.
Total defeat.
The two most powerful people in the Asakura family, the Tsuruga clan and the Ono clan, both support Asakura Sotechi in starting the war. If she, the governor of the family, does not understand each other, her position will really be shaken.
If the governor does not make profits for his subordinates and prevents everyone from getting rich, he must either have strong hands or a hard neck.
The sword of the Wu family often chopped off the head of his own family governor.
Asakura Yoshikage finally gave up on his desire to play chess with Asakura Sotechi. He couldn't stop him anymore. If he did, he would be dead.
Asakura Zongdi glanced at the silent family governor, did not push further, and continued to give orders.
The Asakura family has decided to attack the Kaga Ichimu clan after the spring plowing.
———
Echigo, Kasugayama Castle Castle Tower.
Kakizaki Keiye walked into the meeting hall excitedly, shouting.
"You two adults came to me because the logistics have been secured? Can we launch an offensive?"
Naoe Keizuna looked ugly and did not answer. He silently glanced at Usami Sadamitsu who was standing aside.
Kakizaki Kage's heart sank and he asked.
"What happened? The Yangbei people rebelled?"
Her first reaction was that something had happened to Yangbeizhong.
The Central Etsutsu and Lower Etsutsu in Echigo Kingdom were divided by the Agano River. The domestic samurai families to the north were called the Yanghoku clan, and most of them were stubborn anti-Nagao factions.
Seeing that the two concubines were silent, the Kakizaki Kei family's first reaction was that the Yangbei people had rebelled.
Usami Sadamitsu sighed and said slowly.
"My village, Fanchang, raised a flag to rebel, and all the families in Yangbei responded. Zhongtiao Tengzi couldn't suppress it, and has already sent a letter asking for help.
Ohuma Tohide followed suit by raising the flag, and many old ministers of the Chinese and Vietnamese guardians were attached to him. The lord of Sakado Castle, Nagao Masakae, and the lord of Hojo Castle, Hojo Takahiro, all raised the flag in response.
This village is really guarding the city of Jiwei and sent an urgent message. If there are no reinforcements after the spring plowing, she will have no choice but to be loyal to the lord."
Kakizaki Keike took a breath of cold air, and almost all of them turned against each other.
