Chapter 1093 Willing but powerless

Asakura Keiji, she is the adopted daughter of Asakura Sodi.

Sodi Asakura left a will before her death, asking her to return to Tsuruga County, concentrate on managing the territory, and take extra precautions against the governor, Yoshikage Asakura.

In the past two years, no matter how Asakura Yoshikage fooled him, Asakura Keiki refused to leave Tsuruga County.Asakura Yoshikage wanted to trap her in Ichijo Valley City, and his plan to take her back to Tsuruga County could not be realized.

Using the political legacy left by Asakura Sodi, she boarded the fast ship of Yoshihiro's Hokuriku Road trade route and made a lot of money.

Shiba Yoshigin thought of the friendship that Asakura Sodi launched the Battle of Daishojigawa, and supported him to pass through the Hokuriku Road smoothly, and even died of exhaustion, and he was very generous to Asakura Keiki.

As an important sea and land node of the Hokuriku Road trade route, Tsuruga Port has obtained a large amount of business profits.Asakura Keiji used these benefits to buy off the Tsuruga public, and firmly grasped the ruling power of Tsuruga County.

Yoshikage Asakura can't touch her now. Tsuruga has been sitting on the golden mountain of Tsuruga Port under her command for the past two years, and they are full of food. How can they let this Goddess of Wealth step down?
If Asakura Yoshikage dared to act recklessly, it was not the first time that Dunhezhong rebelled.At the beginning, the Tsuruga people were suppressed by Asakura Sodi, and took advantage of the situation to guard Tsuruga County.

Where is Asakura Yoshikage going to find another Asakura military god to help her settle Tsuruga County?He had no choice but to let Asakura Jingji go.

On the side of Ohno, Yoshikage Asakura was even more troubled.

In the battle two years ago, Asakura Sodi defeated Kaga Ichikomune, beheaded countless people, and captured the alluvial plains around the Daishoji River.

This land was agreed to be guarded by Ohno, and it became Asakura Yoshikage's heart disease in the past two years.

The leader of the Ono Clan, Asakura Jingjing, is her younger sister. She was originally asked to manage Ono County in order to control the Ono Clan and take power back to the main family.

But ever since the Ono people took down the Dasheng Temple River, these warrior Ji who lived in the mountains and forests of Ono County have been sticking to this fertile land, with no distractions.

And Kaga Izumozong has been attacking the Daishoji River all the time, looking like he will fight bloody to the end and never give up.

Daishoji Temple is the temple where the eighth master of Honganji Temple preached in Kaga country.

The dispute between the big and small sects within the Kaga Ichigo Sect was finally won by the Dazong Sect.However, the large forces headed by Qili Laizhou are still hostile to the Asakura family and Ono people who are entrenched in the Daishoji River.

Although Xiaozong was defeated, there was still a lot of power within Kaga Yixiangzong, and those who should unite had to unite.Fighting back to Dasheng Sichuan is the most powerful slogan for Dazong to unite Xiaozong.

For the past two years, Asakura Yoshikage has been transporting military supplies to the front line for the sake of Dashojigawa. This loss-making business of continuous bloodletting has made her tired.

But the Ono people were unwilling to give up the fertile soil and returned to the valleys of Ono County.As the leader, Asakura Jingjing, for his own consideration, can only support the demands of the Ono people.

Going around in a big circle, Asakura Yoshikage found that he had been taken for a long time.

Since he didn't win the Dunhe people, he still had to let the host family lose money to support the Da Ye people in the war. I wasted so much thought, what was I planning?

Recalling Asakura Sodi's decision to attack Daishojigawa, Asakura Yoshikage couldn't help but want to scold his father.

This old thing will never die sooner or later, he died in the few days when he took down Dasheng Sichuan.Keep this mess to yourself, and let her adopted daughter retreat to Tsuruga County and guard the port to make a fortune.

This dead old woman, did she do it on purpose?

Seeing that the followers did not dare to speak up, Yoshikage Asakura became angrier as he thought about it, and said angrily.

"Reject all the documents requesting military supplies, everything must be done according to the rules, and the master's family has no surplus food! I know what I want, and there is no end to it!"

The three concubines looked at each other, and in the end, Yuzhu Jinggu was more honest, came out and bowed.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Asakura Yoshikage glared at her and cursed.

"I provided them with military supplies for two full years, the spring plowing and autumn harvest never stopped, and even the summer harvest could be fought for support.

Don't these people farm in Daishojigawa?Know how to fight all day long! "

Yu Zhujing sighed.

"Your Highness, you have to take into account the feelings of the separated relatives."

As for the family affairs of the Asakura family, it was inconvenient for Uozumi Kagegu to talk too much, so he could only point out some questions carefully.

The corner of Asakura Yoshikage's eyes twitched, and the anger in his heart grew even bigger.

The reason why the Ono people dared to ask for military supplies so unscrupulously was because they believed that they were protecting the entire Asakura family from being eroded by Yi Xiangzong.

At the beginning, the Kaga Isato clan invaded Echizen, used the temple as its base, and encroached on the territory. The branches in the northern part of the Fukui Plain were miserable.

This is why they fully supported Asakura Sodi and attacked Kaga Ichikomune.And through that war, all the Kaga Ichizo clan forces in Echizen were kicked out.

The Ono people fought in the Dashoji River, thinking they were the shields of these sects.They are asking for benefits, of course they are justified.

Asakura Yoshikage also knew that Ohno wanted a huge amount of military supplies, most of which were to fill his own pockets.But the question is, can you refuse?

If she doesn't give it, those separated families can't make trouble?Which samurai would like to see Kaga Issoumi make a comeback?

In addition to Tsuruga County Asakura Kageki and Ono County Asakura Kagegami, the two largest relatives.

The main grain-producing area of ​​Echizen is the Fukui Plain, and in the north there are branches of Asakura such as Anju, Toba, and Hokusho.

It really doesn't matter if one of these branches is pulled out alone.But when they spoke together, Asakura Yoshikage had to consider their opinions, which is why everyone in the wild felt confident.

Asakura Yoshike gritted his teeth with hatred, and stared at Uozumi Keigu who spoke impartially.She knew that Yuzumi Jinggu was right, but the truth made people uncomfortable.

After a long silence, Asakura Yoshikage said helplessly.

"I will write to Jing Jing and ask her to recalculate the number of military supplies. The people in the wild are a bit too much, and you must know how to stop."

Knowing that he couldn't hold back these divisions, but for the sake of face, Asakura Yoshikage had no choice but to pull his sister out to speak out and cover up his embarrassment.

As a matter of fact, Asakura Jingjing also has no choice. She is the leader of the Ono clan, so she must represent the Ohno Samurai Group and fight for their interests.

Asakura Yoshike asked while holding his forehead in distress.

"What does Asakura Kageki say? Tsuruga Port is the port of Asakura's family. Even if you can't share profits with the main business, you can't capitalize on the enemy, right?"

In the area around the Daishoji River, small-scale conflicts between the Ono people and the Kaga Issouzo continued, and Asakura Keiki from Tsuruga County was also involved.

The commercial route of Hokuriku Road is mainly by sea. The west end is Tsuruga Port, which connects nearly several countries. The middle end is Nanao Port to share profits and stabilize the Hokuriku countries.

When Shiba Yoshiyin came out in Vietnam, he settled Kaga, Noto, and the forces of the three countries of Vietnam and China, and redistributed the share of goods so that all parties could taste the sweetness.The rest of the troops sit in rows, and everyone eats fruit.

Kaga Ichimuzo and Etchu Ichimuzo also shared a portion of the goods landed at Nanao Port in Noto Country, and they were still very satisfied.It is rare for the countries of Hokuriku to stop and share the benefits of trade routes.

However, Yoshikage Asakura found out embarrassingly that Fukui Plain, the main body of the Asakura family, was excluded from the distribution of the spoils of the Hokuriku Road trade route, and there was no harvest.

Tsuruga County was originally the western end of Echizen Kingdom, which was isolated outside the Fukui Plain, and its connection was weak.

Of course, there is no need to share with the Asakura family the goods that bypass the Fukui Plain from Tsuruga Port and arrive directly at Nanao Port.

Kaga has always taken advantage of the fact that the truce between Noto, Etsu and China does not mean that they will be soft on the Asakura family of Echizen.

The religious significance of Dasheng Temple is too great, and Qili Laizhou will definitely continue to fight.After her, she was able to reach peace between Vietnam and China, and she had a steady stream of material support from Nanao Port, so of course the fight was even more enjoyable.

Asakura Yoshikage kept transfusing blood to the Ono people on the front line, and watched Asakura Keiki from Tsuruga County behind him eat and drink, feeling unbalanced.

She ordered several times that the business profits of Tsuruga Port must be handed over to the owner's family, but Asakura Keiji pushed them back.

In fact, even if Asakura Jingji is willing to give it, Tsuruga will not, why spit out the meat in his mouth?

Asakura Yoshike can only threaten Asakura Keiki by claiming that some of the goods in Tsuruga Port belong to Kaga Izumomune and belong to the enemy's act.

The right to distribute the share of the Hokuriku Road trade route is the Naoetsu Customs Office in the Echigo Kingdom.Uesugi Terutora and Shiba Yoshigin are in charge of the planning, and their subordinates are in charge of execution.

In other words, although Asakura Kageki received a lot, she has no say in Kaga Ichikomune's share of benefits.

Asakura Yoshikage used Tsuruga Port as an excuse, just wanting to get a piece of the Hokuriku business route, so as to alleviate the continuous blood loss of his supporters.

Former Hage Tsugumi, who was in charge of negotiating with Tsuruga County, stepped out and bowed.

"Kingji-sama has a letter saying that Tsuruga Port has been closed for winter, and it is not yet known whether it will be able to continue to open for commercial circulation next year due to the chaos in Kyoto.

She had to wait for news from Sakai Port and Naoetsu before she could give the Governor an answer. "

Asakura Yoshikage smiled coldly, what a good excuse.

Because Miyoshi went to Luo, he rebelled and killed the king.The whole of recent days has become a mess. Political chaos has caused caravans to wait and see, and the trade route has temporarily stagnated.

Coincidentally, Hokuriku Road was closed for the winter. Although various companies are worried about next year's business profits, there is no actual loss for the time being, and they are all on the sidelines.

In fact, it was just waiting for the news from Naoetsu, and waiting for the wise and mighty Imperial Taisuo to preside over the overall situation.

In Asakura Yoshikage's heart, he didn't have a good impression of that Godaisho who had passed by Echizen.She didn't care about this young man at the beginning, and treated him contemptuously and coldly, which caused the two parties to fail to get along with each other.

Asakura Sodi, however, has a keen eye for talents, and helped his adoptive daughter find this foreign vassal support, which made Asakura Yoshikage timid in his work for the past two years.

In the event of the Kyoto incident, the Imperial Palace will inevitably turn around.The trade alliance formed by the countries of the Hokuriku region is led by Ishiba Yoshigin.

Except for Yoshikage Asakura, the forces of all parties have already been fed by the interests of the trade route, and they will not want the chaos in the capital to affect their business interests.

In the spring of next year, if Shiba Yoshigin returns from the Hokuriku Road, God knows what it will be like.

Asakura Yoshikage was vigilant, but there was nothing he could do.Inside Chaocang's house, the gourd is being pressed to float the gourd, she can't manage it anymore, let alone other things.

After pondering for a while, she said.

"Asakura Keiji made a good excuse, so let's put this matter aside for now.

How is that poor official doing now? "

Speaking of Shiba Yoshigin, Asakura Yoshikage suddenly thought of the Ashikaga twin girls who came to Echizen for help, and joked casually.

Compared with the swordsman general Ashikaga Yoshiki, the mighty alias of the strong and affectionate public party.The Ashikaga twins were dubbed the poor public by the samurai.

Because she has nothing but the blood of General Ashikaga's family flowing through her body.

Before Ashikaga Yoshiki died, she was not designated as the heir.And her embarrassing twin daughter background, although recognized by the Wu family, is not on the stage.

In other words, it is not easy for this poor official to go to Luo and secure the position of shogun. He is destined to be a weak general with insufficient reputation.

Even if the vassals of the shogunate are willing to accept her, the big names from all over the world may not care about her.

The pillar of the Wu family is the leader of the Wu family, and he has the righteousness to arbitrate the disputes of the Wu family.If General Ashikaga's reputation is to be criticized by others, what qualifications does she have to judge right from wrong and arbitrate the world?

Choshige Tomita glanced at Hakitsugu and Keigu Uozumi in front of him, and said.

"Master Wada Yoomasa and Hosokawa Fujitaka-sama have approached us one after another. They hope that we will come forward to persuade the House Governor to help His Highness Shangluo succeed to the throne."

Asakura Yoshikage snorted, doesn't she want to support an Ashikaga general to come to power?Of course I want to.

The Asakura family and the Oda family are respectively the guardians appointed by the Shiba family in Echizen-Owari.After the Shiba family weakened, they all seized the neighboring country under the siege.

Compared with the lack of status of the Oda family in Owari, the Asakura family has participated in many recent affairs, supported the shogunate to get close to the general, and obtained the guard post of the Echizen Kingdom.

Moreover, because of the turmoil that has become more and more frequent in recent years since the Eighth Shogun Rebellion, a large amount of wealth and personnel were attracted by the stable Asakura family and moved to Echizen Kingdom.

The Asakura family's residence city, Yicheng Valley City, also known as Little Kyoto, is a safe haven for the few nobles who escaped the war.

In short, the Chaokura family has taken advantage of all the advantages during the recent chaos.Now Ashikaga Yoshiaki asks to come to the door, and the condition is to open Asakura's house casually, of course Asakura Yoshikage is tempted.

However, she doesn't have this ability now!

Tsuruga, Ono, the two strongest samurai groups within the Asakura family, have not listened to the call, and there are faint signs of splitting.

Anju, Toba, and Beizhuang's idiots only know to take care of their own interests and ignore the difficulties of the master's family.

During the two-year skirmish with Kaga Ichikozong, the Asakura clan of Ichijo Valley Castle continued to send supplies to Daishojigawa, and continued to lose blood.

Don't look at Asakura Yoshikage acting like a dog in front of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, in fact, it's hard to say who is worse than the other.Ashikaga Yoshiaki has nothing, but Asakura Yoshikage is even more troublesome.

Yoshikage Asakura gritted his teeth and said, yearning but unable to do what he wanted.

"Leave her alone, and I'll try to communicate with Jingjing to see if I can persuade everyone in the wild to go south for a few days and win some benefits for the Asakura family."

The third concubine under the seat bowed to the ground to accept the order, but she didn't think so in her heart.

Onozhong used to be the owner's dog, and was kept in captivity in the mountains of Ono County to eat bran swallowed vegetables.If necessary, you can throw a bone and pull it out to bite.

but now?I'm afraid the leftovers are not enough.
