The military strength of the Ashikaga family was different from that of samurai families elsewhere.
The Ashikaga family had only one mountain town under their direct control, and the people there were sparse. But her family is the co-owner of the world. In the past, it was supplied by imperial materials from various places, but now it relies on donations from military families from various places.
This left the Ashikaga family's armament to be dominated by Hime samurai, supplemented by Ashikaru. Such an army is elite enough, but it requires a lot of money and food support. Once there is a lack of money and food, the army cannot sustain itself.
The third shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, formed the Ashikaga Kaishu. At its peak, there were three thousand knights, all composed of Ji warriors with high martial arts skills from all over the world, and they were feared by the world.
The current thirteenth-generation shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru has only 500 knights left, and they are still composed of shogunate warriors with varying strengths. Both the scale and personal strength are far inferior to those before.
Even so, for a single samurai family, the Ashikaga family is still a powerful samurai family. It's just that her family has too many things to worry about and the situation that needs to be controlled is too big. Only then did he appear to be stretched thin and embarrassed.
No matter how powerful the Rokkaku family is, it is only half a country, and it is not a Sanhao family that owns the territory of seven or eight countries. It really aroused Ashikaga Yoshiki to the point of being desperate and cautious. Hosokawa Fujitaka's purpose of assisting Yoshihiro Shiba was basically achieved.
She wasn't trying to trick the shogunate. The Rokkaku family set a bad precedent. If it is not suppressed and spread in the future, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of the shogunate.
She has researched that the Miyoshi family is still mobilizing its forces and will not go to Luo Jingdu for the time being.
The Rokkaku family was no longer reliable, so they simply took advantage of Yoshihiro Shiba's move north, used the Asai family to attack the Rokkaku family, and defeated Rokkaku Yoshihide. Let's have a good fight with the Sanhao family later.
The general was already angry, but midnight was not the time to mobilize. Mibuchi Haru took the exhausted Hosokawa Fujitaka back to rest, and we would discuss everything tomorrow.
Mibuchi Haru was still nagging about why this happened, Hosokawa Fujitaka said to his mother.
"Mother, I agree to your marriage to Shiba Yiyin."
"Huh? What wedding?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka was stunned for a moment.
"Didn't you write to me before, asking me to marry Si Bo Yiyin?"
"No, I'm just asking if you are interested. How could I be so arrogant? If I really want to get married, I will naturally discuss it with Sister Yuanchang and ask Yiyin what I want."
"..."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was speechless. Did I misunderstand? Shiba Yiyin doesn’t know at all!
Thinking of Yoshigan Shiba's arrogant look, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt a fire burning in his heart, wishing he could marry him back and toss him to pieces.
"Anyway, I agree! You go and discuss it!"
I was so tired that I was too lazy to talk to the muddle-headed Mibuchi's mother. Let her talk to Motonso's mother, the governor of the Hosokawa family.
As for, will Spo Yiyin give in?
Think about his temperament. . well. . My head hurts!
North Omi Akao Castle.
Asai Nagamasa, who was meeting with Yoshihiro and his delegation, was so happy that he burst into laughter from ear to ear.
The shogunate and the Rokkaku family had a falling out?
"What did the Rokkaku family do? To make Mr. Shiba want to borrow troops to attack them?"
"Asai-sama, please read the letter. In the letter, Hosokawa-sama has everything stated."
Yiyin answered steadily.
The trust between the two has not yet been reached. Let’s talk about other things after reading Hosokawa Fujitaka’s letter.
Asai Nagamasa calmed down and read the letter carefully. It was indeed Sister Fujitaka's handwriting. I glanced at ten lines and read on.
"Rokukaku Yoshixian, how dare you do this! This is so heartbreaking!"
After reading the letter, Asai Nagamasa couldn't sit still. She stood up and looked extremely angry, but the unstoppable ecstasy between her mouth and eyebrows betrayed her thoughts.
Rokkaku Yixian, you idiot, you’re totally ruined now! I wanted to use the prestige of the shogunate to further suppress my Asai family, but I accidentally made a mistake and overturned. Now the boat of friendship is about to capsize!
The content of this letter is a timely help to the main war faction of the Asai family.
First of all, it proved that the Rokkaku family wanted to kill the Asai family this time, and even the shogunate was involved. Is there any point in the Asai family continuing to kneel and lick?
Secondly, the Rokkaku family self-defeated, and Yoshigami Shiba asked for help from the Asai family. The Asai family's break with the Rokkaku family was an act of justice that served the shogunate! Righteousness lies in Qianjing!
Through this, Asai Nagamasa can contact the retainers group to eliminate the influence of his mother Kumasa and oust her from power.
Most of the Wu family's territory is directly controlled by less than 30%, and the rest is controlled by retainers. If a household governor loses the support of his retainers, the young master will take the lead.
It is entirely possible for the family governor to retire and replace the young master with the throne. They are all direct members of the Asai family, and the retainers are not rebellious, so they feel no pressure.
Asai Nagamasa was confident of overthrowing his mother in one fell swoop because she was so unpopular.
Since Asai Hisamasa became the family governor, the Asai family has been suppressed and beaten by Rokkaku Sadayori. The power has retreated to the three counties of Kitaomi.
Just like that, forget about the retainers group. After all, Rokkaku Shorai is awesome, and everyone was beaten until they lost their temper, so it is understandable that they surrendered for a while.
It's not like ceding land and paying compensation. It's just a coward in name. The martial artists are capable of bending and stretching.
But Rokkaku Sadayori is dead! Her daughter has just succeeded to the throne, and you haven't even tried it yet, so why are you so busy that you kneel down?
North and South Omi are different from Upper and Lower Owari.
The Oda family is the head of both the upper and lower Owari families, and the division has only lasted for a few decades. The samurai family is still a relative with broken bones and connected tendons.
Since the Ashikaga Shogunate, the North and South Omi have been divided into two halves by the Kyogoku family and the Rokkaku family, and they have been fighting for more than a hundred years. It is a real feud.
Your mother was killed by my grandma, and my aunt killed your aunt and raped your seventh uncle when she went to the city.
If you can't beat it for a while, you'll have to endure it if you give in. A guy like Asai Hisamasa is so boneless that he will be completely defeated by the bastard from the south. The retainers group said, get out of here.
The Asai family was originally a retainer of the Kyogoku family. The Kyogoku family was violently conquering Kitanomi. Ryomasa Asai stepped forward and led everyone to drive away the Kyogoku family. Everyone recognized you as the master.
If your daughter Hisamasa Asai is not honest in what she does, don't blame her sisters for being ruthless.
Asai Nagamasa understands this truth, and knows that if his mother Nagamasa continues like this, the Asai family will be in danger. Only then did he firmly raise the banner of the main war faction, so that the retainers group would have something to think about, so that they would not fall out now.
On the other hand, Rokkaku Yoshiken is too pushy.
As soon as Asai Nagamasa took power, he sent someone to give him the name Tong, forcing Asai Nagamasa to change his name to Asai Kenmasa.
He also acted as a matchmaker for the Hirai family, the Rokkaku retainer, and asked Asai Nagamasa to marry the son of the Hirai family.
These two things are to knock Asai Nagamasa's head to the ground. You are my retainer and you are my grandson. Do you recognize it? Do you recognize it?
Nagamasa Asai is a young girl named Samurai Hime who has just grown up, at the age when she is full of energy.
Recognize your father!
The Rokkaku family used this as an excuse to attack the territory with troops. Asai Hisamasa was cowardly again and forced Nagamasa to accept. Nagamasa couldn't bear it anymore and fled to Akao's house for help.
Several leaders of the main war faction were discussing countermeasures, and Sibo Yiyin sent a big gift package. Now that justice is at hand, Asai Nagamasa is gearing up to retire his mother and provide her with care until the end of her life.
