"Snapped!"
There was no doubt that the sound was a slap.
In the Kurinokan Asakura family's main formation, Asakura Kageki knew that the defeat was all due to his greed for merit, so as soon as he returned to the main formation, he immediately found Asakura Sotechi and took the initiative to explain everything. He even cried bitterly while talking to show his regret.
Facing Asakura Kageki's confession, Asakura Sotechi pretended not to see it, and still sat aside and played chess with Yamazaki Yoshie, as if the loss of more than two hundred people mentioned by Asakura Kageki had not happened. Live the same.
But the more Asakura Sotechi behaved like this, the more Asakura Kageki felt panicked.
In desperation, Asakura Kageki gave himself a slap in the face. This slap was very hard, and it seemed unusually loud in the quiet formation.
"well........"
At this time, Asakura Sodi finally let out a helpless sigh, then raised his head and looked at Asakura Kageki and said: "What I sigh about is not your defeat this time, but that you behaved like a waste after the defeat and cried like this. How is your behavior different from that of a woman?"
"I serve as an army member of the Asakura family. I have gone through more than a hundred battles in my life, and I have rarely been defeated! As a son of my family, even if you are not as good as my family, you shouldn't be in such a mess!"
Asakura Sodi looked at his adopted son with some hatred, his eyes full of disappointment.
To be honest, it was not Asakura Sotetsu's wish to adopt Asakura Kageki as his adopted son, because Asakura Sotetsu himself had a son.
The reason why Asakura Kageki was adopted as his adopted son is also related to the Asakura family's internal policy of cheating on his father.
As we all know, the Asakura family implements "separation of military and political power", which means that political power and military power are actually separated. Although the governor of the Asakura family is the absolute head of the Asakura family, it is the military governor who actually directs the Asakura family's military strength during battles.
It is precisely because of this that military practice is particularly important in the Asakura family.
Asakura Soutei is the great-uncle of Asakura Takakage, the current head of the Asakura family, and is a brother of Asakura Takakage's grandfather.
To be honest, Asakura Sotechi's process when he came to power was extremely disgraceful.
In the third year of Wengui (AD 1503), a civil strife broke out within the Asakura family. The rebels were Asakura Keiteyoshi, the governor of Tsuruga County (the son of Asakura Keefuji, who has assisted the master for generations and has a high position of power) and Asakura Keizong.
Asakura Kei was always Asakura Sotechi's half-brother, but he was a bastard, so he was often ignored and discriminated against at home. He was also ranked last in the evaluation of various meetings he attended, which made Asakura Keizou always hold a grudge.
Later, Mr. Asakura Kage directly killed his legitimate son Asakura Kage (later Asakura inherited his brother's name after taking Yuanfu, and was also called Asakura Kage.), and then fled. Finally, he came to Kyoto to become an official, Hosokawa Masamoto.
In the third year of Bungui, Asakura Keizong began to plot a conspiracy to overthrow the power of the Asakura family. To this end, he found his son-in-law, Asakura Keiteyo, and received Asakura Keiteyo's support.
At that time, many samurai from Asakura Kagetaka's side refused to join, but Asakura Sotetsu joined without hesitation because Asakura Sotetsu's main wife was Asakura Kagetoshi's daughter.
And just when Asakura Jingfeng and Asakura Kesou were ready, on the night before the rebellion, Asakura Sotechi suddenly rebelled and personally found the head of the Asakura family, Asakura Sadake, and brought Asakura Kesong together. Asakura Jingfeng revealed all their plans.
Asakura Sadake realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately dispatched thousands of troops to surround Kanazaki Castle.
Asakura Kagetoyo never thought that Asakura Sotechi, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would "betray the revolution". Not long after he was trapped in Gucheng, he committed seppuku in Jucheng. At this time, Asakura Kageto arrived at Omi with a strong force.
Based on Asakura Sodai's role and contribution in this turmoil, Asakura Sadake appointed Asakura Sodai, a member of the "unremarkable" family, as the Tsuruga County Secretary and the Lord of Kanazaki Castle.
From then on, Asakura Zongticai officially took the first step to become famous all over the world.
After that, Asakura Sotechi made great contributions in the war against Kaga Ichimuzu and the Kinai war, and the name of Echizen Military God became more and more famous.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Asakura Sodi felt.
Because Asakura Sotechi clearly felt that his power and reputation were higher than those of the leader Asakura Sadake (and later Asakura Takakage), even if Asakura Sodechi himself had no idea, his retainers and successors There is no guarantee.
As Sotechi Asakura grew older, Sotechi Asakura became more and more worried.
In desperation, Asakura Sodai simply adopted Asakura Takakage's younger brother, Asakura Kageki, as his adopted son.
Firstly, to express one's feelings, and secondly, to let the retainers see their determination.
Asakura Sotechi's move did eliminate the bad factors hidden in the home to a certain extent and stabilized the home. The father and son Asakura Sadake and Asakura Takakage also trusted Asakura Soutei more and more, so much so that they confidently and boldly handed over the military power of the Asakura family to Asakura Soutetsu.
Asakura Sodi lived up to expectations, and his several foreign wars went very smoothly.
However, the only thing that Asakura Sotechi couldn't let go of was his designated "successor in military affairs" and "the future pillar of the Asakura family" - Asakura Keiki.
To be honest, Asakura Keiki is still capable, and his relationship with Asakura Takakage is also very good. After all, the two are brothers. But his military talent is probably less than one-tenth of Asakura Sotetsu's.
In order to train Asakura Kageki, Asakura Sotechi took him with him every time he sent out troops. He even let Asakura Kageki lead the troops alone to fight Kaga several times to train Asakura Kageki.
Unfortunately, everything Asakura Sotechi did had little effect.
This time Asakura Kageki did not follow his own plan, but took the initiative to attack Kuniyoshi Castle without authorization, and was defeated and lost more than two hundred people, most of whom were samurai at home.
It's a lie that Asakura Sotetsu isn't angry. After all, these samurai are the younger generation of the family. The future foundation of the Asakura family has lost so many people at once. Even if Asakura Sotetsu doesn't say anything, these samurai's I'm afraid my parents will also have strong opinions.
Of course, what made Asakura Sotechi the most angry was that Asakura Kageki was so "unbearable" after his failure, and could not see the slightest bit of "famous general appearance", which made Asakura Sotechi feel deeply disappointed. .
Seeing the disappointment in Asakura Sodi's eyes, Asakura Kageki was also shocked. He quickly stopped crying and said, "Father, this failure is all due to the fault of the next person. Please punish me, Father!"
"Captain Zaemon, I'm not angry at your disastrous defeat! What I'm really angry about is that you can't see the magnanimity and majesty that a Tsuruga Governor should have in you!" As early as the seventh year of Dayei (1527 AD) ), Asakura Sotetsu gave up the post of Tsuruga County Secretary to Asakura Keiki, and he still held the post of military officer.
"There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty: Mount Tai collapses in front of you, but your face does not change. This is the way to be a general!"
"How can I not be disappointed when I see you in such an ugly state today?" Asakura Zongdi said earnestly.
