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 each Asakura branch actively respond to her call? Why did the Ono people ignore Asakura Jingjing, the Chief of Ono County, 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 Wu 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 who submitted to the protection of Echizen.
They were loyal to the Shiba family in the past, and now they are loyal to 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 people with the strongest centrifugal force rebelled during the third generation and were put down by Asakura Sotetsu. Asakura Sotetsu, who was loyal to his master, was made Tsuruga County Secretary.
The guarding samurai family of the Shinkara area was pinched by the north and south Asakura family, so they had to settle down and live in peace. From then on, the country was peaceful.
Among the Asakura families on the Fukui Plain, the most difficult one was 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 mountains and radiates to the western plains, and occupies 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. It has long been hated by the Asakura branch families.
The samurai family brutally oppressed 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 Da Ye Zhong, they have always been used as watchdogs by the Asakura clan of Ichijogani City.
When something happened in the Kaga Kingdom in the north, they unleashed their dogs to bite Ichikumune. When nothing happens, he feeds himself half-starved and half-full with scraps of food.
Even dogs in the wild crowd can't bear it anymore. They are all divided into Asakura families. Why do you eat meat and I eat meat?
Every time the people go to the north to fight, don't they covet the land of Kaga Country? After passing the Dairi Mountain, the area around the Daesheng River is a fertile plain extending to the north!
The Asakura clan has lived a good life for three generations in Ichijogani City, 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?
It’s the grandson who doesn’t support it! Dry! What the hell are you doing?
Asakura Zongdi has already seen through everything, and everything he does is for the benefit of the Asakura clan.
And Asakura Yoshikage is still struggling with her own majesty, how can she fight with Soutei Gong?
Even if a crowd of people from Chenggu City were brought in, there would only be a few more people watching her embarrassment.
Fortunately, we didn't call the local Wu family in the Zhengan area, otherwise the Asakura clan would be completely embarrassed 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.
The first move has been lost. The best thing to do at this time is to be patient. She is still young, but Zongdi Gong is too old.
Today's head-on confrontation will only bring humiliation to oneself, further weakening the authority of the master's 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 Asakura family army's position 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 a fanatical religious believer, Kaga Country is known as a country of common people, with an army of 300,000.
Duke Zongdi started a war easily, fearing that the consequences would 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 were reviewing 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 green.
Asakura Sotetsu 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. Driving the old, weak, men and children into battle is just killing an innocent soul. "
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 are led by Yi Kui.
Asakura Yoshikage looked unhappy and retorted.
"Even so, there is really no point in provoking a war and wasting food and salary."
Asakura Soutei caught her mistake and counterattacked.
"Why doesn't it make sense?
In recent years, Xiangzong 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 whole area north of the Kuzuryu River will be ravaged by the Yikui people.
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 family members 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 affairs.
Asakura Sodi changed the subject 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 was entrusted to Onozu with territorial security, and the threat of the Ichigo clan was 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 of the Ono County Sheriff.
Asakura Jing's camera was sweating like she was sitting on pins and needles, with awns on her back and 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 the situation, 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 her giving orders.
The Asakura family has decided to attack the Kaga Ichimu clan after the spring plowing.
———
Echigo, Kasugayama Castle Castle Tower.
Kakizaki Keike walked into the meeting hall excitedly, shouting.
"You two adults came to me. Are the logistics in place? 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 happened to Yang Beizhong.
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 the flag to rebel, and all the families in Yangbei responded. Nakajo Tengzi couldn't suppress it, and has already sent a letter asking for help.
Ohuma Tohide followed suit by raising the flag, and many of the former guardians of China and Vietnam 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.
Honzhuang Shinai defended Jiwei City and sent an urgent message. If there were no reinforcements after the spring plowing, she would have no choice but to be loyal to her lord. "
Kakizaki Keijia took a breath of cold air, and almost all of them reacted against each other.
