Chapter 1289 Tsuruga Good Day

Yoshigin didn't understand why Uesugi Terotora made such a big mistake that hurt his fundamental interests.

He must hurry to Kanto to minimize this negative impact.The Kanto Raiders may not be successful, but Terotora Uesugi cannot be excluded by the Kanto Yashu samurai.

Yiyin didn't know where the bottom line of the system mission was, because the goal of the mission was too vague.He didn't dare to risk the threshold range of mission failure, so he could only try his best to save the situation.

Yiyin looked back at the room where Yukino was, he couldn't wait for Yukino to wake up, so he could only apologize.

"Yang Nai, help me prepare the Clippers, I want to take the Hokuriku Road trade route, and I must arrive in Kanto before autumn comes!"

Takada Yoshino saw that Yoshihiro's complexion changed drastically after reading the letter, and he nodded obediently.

"I'll get ready right away."

The latest news from Kanto made Yiyin feel bad.At this time, he could no longer care about the follow-up of the golden hair, red hair and white hair.

He must return to Kanto as soon as possible, suppress Uesugi Terutoro's misconduct, and preserve his handsome face.

---

Surprised by the Kanto dispatch sent by Masaru Shima, Yoshihiro had to change his plan, embarked from Sakai Port, and crossed the Hokuriku trade route day and night.

From the Yodo River in Sakai Port, across the Kyoto Basin, into Lake Biwa.After disembarking in Kita Omi, go north to Tsuruga Port to board the ship, and arrive at Echigo Naoetsu.

This business route is already very mature, and Yoshino Takada's business system is supporting him along the way, and Yoshihiro can go to Echigo Kingdom as quickly as possible.

Yiyin was in a hurry to leave, and there was no time to arrange many things slowly.

Yuigahama Yui was left under Ishida Mitsunari by him, and was temporarily included in the Shibachu Fund.

On Yamanaka Yukimori's side, he wrote a letter, asking the Kanto Hime Warriors to complete the follow-up work in Nanhanoi and return to Kanto by Hokuriku Road before the autumn harvest.

Nizi Shengjiu, as the highest person in charge of the Sibo collar in recent days, is temporarily in charge of the overall situation.

After arranging these things, Yiyin embarked on a journey with his concentric group.He couldn't even care about Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga's Settsu Raiders.

Ships flying his flag traveled unimpeded all the way to the northern shore of Lake Pipa.

He also didn't go to Xiaogu Castle to talk nonsense with Nagamasa Asai, the last time the mayor's nonsense in Xiaogu Castle gave him a bad impression.

In addition, Fujido Toraka's accidental death also left an unspeakable rift between him and Asai Nagamasa.

---

Asai Nagamasa looked at Yoshigin's northbound direction from Otani Castle, and watched Yoshigin leave for the second time to go to Kanto for the second time.

Following the sudden death of Fujido Toraka, the Asai family's army, under the support of the Oda family, marched into the three counties of Kita Omi to collect this year's summer harvest.

The samurai family of the three counties was sandwiched between the north and the south by Asai and Oda's two armies, and under the threat of Todo Togako's dead bones, they bowed their heads and confessed, and began to pay military food and service.

After three years of fighting in Norada, Asai Nagamasa finally took full control of Kita Omi, eliminated his old enemy, the Rokkaku family, and his reputation grew day by day.

But she wasn't happy at all.

Todo Takataka's daughter, Todo Takataka also donated a share of money and food with the Inugami County samurai family.

Asai Nagamasa wrote to ask Masahiro Isano, who lives in Saga Yamashiro, but got the answer that Chief Todo voluntarily entered into the military food service.

Fujido Takatora did not follow his mother's example, and secretly opposed the Asai family under the banner of the Shiba family, but expressed obedience.In the eyes of outsiders, she was terrified because of her mother's death.

Leader Fujido made a voluntary donation, and the Asai family, as the lord of Kita Omi, did not allow Asai Nagamasa to refuse local contributions.

But in this way, the Todo leader became an inseparable knot between the Shiba Asai and his family, and the death of Fujido Toraka could never be explained.

As the outer domain of the Shiba family, the Fujido family has a sensitive dual identity as the domestic congregation of the Asai family.

Asai Nagamasa thought melancholy, when Shiba Yoshigin came back and asked Todo-ling, how should he answer?Is Fujido the enclave of the Shiba family, or a subsidiary of the Asai family?

Because of the interests of the Hokuriku trade route, the Shiba Asai and the two will continue to cooperate.

However, the life-and-death friendship formed between the two sides in the battle of Norada disappeared with the death of Todo Toraka.

Yoshiyin didn't know Asai Nagamasa's guilt and entanglement. He followed the road he had traveled and came to Tsuruga County again.

Tsuruga County Secretary Asakura Kageki, who already knew about his itinerary, respectfully introduced him to Tsuruga Castle and received him grandly.

---

Tsuruga Castle, residence hall.

Yiyin looked at the harbor in the distance, but the scorching summer could not stop the enthusiasm of the caravans on their way. Tsuruga County was much more prosperous than when he first passed by.

Tsuruga Port is the starting point of the Hokuriku Road trade route, connecting the Hokuriku Road with the key areas of Japan. Tsuruga Castle is the Tsuruga County Siju Castle built on the back of the Tsuruga Port.

In the Tang Dynasty, Tsuruga Port was an important shipping port.

The Sea of ​​Japan area on the west coast of the island country is far calmer than the Pacific Ocean on the east coast of Japan.

The ocean current in the outer northeast turns back, connecting Bohai, the Korean Peninsula, and the west coast of Japan, forming an effective trade network.

With the demise of the Bohai State and the depression of the Outer Northeast route, Japan's foreign trade gradually relied on the Seto Inland Sea, and the seaports along the Hokuriku Road were marginalized.

Yoshihiro develops the Hokuriku Road commercial route, with Tsuruga Port, Nanao Port, Naoetsu, and three ports of shipping as the core transportation nodes of the Hokuriku Road Commercial Route.

The cost of sea transportation is lower than that of land transportation, and it successfully bypasses the road area where the conflict between Kaga Yixiangzong and local samurai has become a safe route favored by Kanto and Kansai caravans.

Coupled with the great turmoil in the Tokaido, the Imagawa family lost the territory of the Three Kingdoms of the Tokaido, and the confrontation between the Takeda Tokugawa and Hojo families completely silted up the Tokaido trade route that the caravans used to travel.

In the past two years, logistics in Kanto and Kansai has become more and more dependent on the shipping of the Hokuriku Road trade route, which has revived Tsuruga Port with new vitality.

Yi Yin looked at the direction of the harbor and thought about something, when a reminder from Gamo's Township came from behind him.He turned his head and saw Asakura Jingji approaching, and smiled.

"I took the liberty of coming this time, and I caused you trouble."

Asakura Keiji bowed and said.

"Zindaden is too polite, it really makes me feel ashamed. Thank you for your care in the past two years, allowing Tsuruga to benefit a lot from the Hokuriku trade route.

Master Takada Yono has sent someone to negotiate for the ship you need, and it will be in place tomorrow and set sail. "

Yi Yin smiled slightly.

"That's really great, I'll spend the night here today, and I'll start tomorrow morning.

You don't have to be too obsessed with the lucrative business, as the old saying goes, friendship is priceless.I made a promise to Zong Digong, she gave her life to help me, so I will naturally take care of you.

Besides, in the past two years, the Shiba family and Tsuruga Port have been very happy to cooperate on the Hokuriku Road trade route.You do a good job without being too humble. "

Hearing Yiyin mentioning his adoptive mother who passed away, Asakura Keiki nodded silently.

When Asakura Sodi sent troops to attack Kaga Izumozong because of Shiba Yoshigin, Asakura Keiji didn't murmur.But now it seems that the adoptive mother is still wise.

Shiba Yoshigin is a man of his word. He has been prosperous all these years, and he has never forgotten his promise to Asakura Sodi.Asakura Sodi entrusted his adopted daughter to him, he really found the right person.

Asakura Keiji was able to quickly stabilize Tsuruga County after Asakura Sodi's death and won the support of the Tsuruga public, which is inseparable from the support of Yoshihiro.

As an important node of the Hokuriku Road trade route, Tsuruga Port originally earned a lot from the tariffs of the commercial port.

In addition, Yoshihiro deliberately asked Takada Yono to take care of Asakura Keiki, giving him a higher share of business routes, and the annual dividends were another large amount of income.

The money and food were used by Asakura Jingji to feed the Dunhe people. Everyone ate well and drank spicy food, so naturally they sincerely supported her.

In fact, everyone knows very well that Tsuruga Port can get a bigger share of the Hokuriku Road business route. It is Yoshiyin who looks at Asakura Sodi's face and adds food to Asakura Keiki.

If Asakura Yoshikage is really allowed to get Asakura Keiki down, the extra benefits of Tsuruga will be gone, and everyone will naturally know what to do.

Yoshikage Asakura of Yicheng Gucheng tried several times, but was pushed back by the Tsuruga crowd.The conspiracy of the Zong family to get involved in Tsuruga Port ended without a problem.

Looking at Yoshiyin's hearty smile, Asakura Keiki was a little lost.Not seen for more than two years, he seems to be more handsome.

It's just that short, lean hair reveals his status as a monk, and Asakura Keiji can't help but feel sorry for him.

Yoshihiko Shiba is peerless, but he became a widow at a young age, and was forced to become a monk by the new general of the shogunate.

Seeing her dazed expression, Yiyin asked curiously.

"what happened?"

Asakura Jingji came back to his senses, shook his head, and said.

"It's nothing."

The Echizen Kingdom is not far from Kyoto, and the news exchange between the two sides is fast. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's ungrateful behavior has made the world's samurai feel ashamed, and Asakura Keiki also feels worthless for Shiba Yoshigin.

But she didn't want to say much, so she simply changed the subject.

"Jin Duodian, I heard a disturbing rumor.

On the other side of Ichijo Valley City, it is said that His Highness Asakura Yoshikage is very dissatisfied with His Highness Oda Nobunaga's success in going to Luo, and his fame and fortune.

I am a little worried, if there is a conflict between Oda and Asakura, will it affect the stability of the Hokuriku Road trade route? "

Yi Yin was taken aback, and looked at Asakura Keiji.Seeing her serious face, which doesn't seem to be fake, she is really worried.

Asakura Keiki's talent is far inferior to that of her adoptive mother, Asakura Sodi. The Tsuruga people are obedient to her, one is because of Asakura Sodi's face, and the other is that she was bought by the huge interests of Tsuruga Port.

If there is a problem with the Hokuriku Road trade route because of the conflict between the Asakura and Oda families, Asakura Keiki will be in trouble, no wonder she is worried.

Yoshiyin laughed out loud, and asked Asakura Kageki.

"Why is Jin Dadian laughing?"

Yi Yin said.

"I laugh at His Royal Highness Asakura Yoshikage for being too stingy, she was the one who rejected the general's request and refused to go to Luo.

how?She doesn't want to go, and she doesn't allow others to fight for wealth?
His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga went to Luo Yu to serve the public, and he contributed to the shogunate.Naturally, the shogunate wanted to reward them, so that all warriors in the world would know that those who are loyal and righteous will be rewarded with kindness. "

Asakura Keiki smiled wryly.

"It's not that His Highness Asakura Yoshikage doesn't want to go to Luo, but because he is unable to do so.

On the other side of the crowd, they are fighting fiercely with Kaga Ichimune.On my side, Tsuruga was worried that participating in Shangluo would annoy the Miyoshi family and cut off the Hokuriku business route.

Without the support of the Ono people and the Tsuruga people, His Highness Asakura Yoshikage finally extinguished Shangluo's heart.But this resentment is probably not only towards His Highness Oda Nobunaga, but I am also likely to be hated. "

Yi Yin shook his head.

The Asakura family, the strong feudal family that dominated the five generations of the Echizen Kingdom, seems to be still powerful, but in fact, the interior is in a mess.

In order to help Yoshinori out of the trap, Asakura Sodi forcibly launched an offensive, took down the Daishoji River of the Kaga Ichiko sect, and gave it to the Ono people.

In the past two years, the Ono people have been attacking continuously for the fertile soil on both sides of the Daishoji River, and the Kaga Issei Sect who vowed to regain the holy land of the Daishoji Temple.

Asakura Yoshikage has been troubled by this for a long time, thinking that it was Asakura Sodi who deliberately made things difficult for him before his death.So, she blamed Asakura Sodi's adopted daughter, Asakura Keiji, and was always very dissatisfied with her.

During the Kyoto Incident, the Ohno people were unwilling to leave the Dashoji River, and the Tsuruga people were unwilling to fight against the Miyoshi family, so they boycotted Shangluo together.

Asakura Yoshikage was forced to give up Shangluo, and lost the face of his master. Under the old and new grudges, he hated Asakura Jingji to death.

Asakura Keiji was also worried that one day there would be a conflict between the Asakura family and the Oda family.As the prominent part of the Echizen Kingdom that connects the nearest few, Tsuruga County is the first to bear the brunt, and it must be unlucky.

Yiyin felt that she was worrying too much and said.

"It is impossible for His Highness Asakura Yoshikage and His Highness Oda Nobunaga to have a conflict.

Don't look at His Highness Asakura Yoshikage's angry words, but she will not easily use weapons for three reasons.

First, the Ono people and the Kaga clan have been hostile for a long time, and it is impossible for the Asakura family not to guard against the Kaga country behind them.His Highness Asakura Yoshikage was unable to concentrate on targeting Jinji, and was in a dilemma with the Oda family. "

Asakura Jingji thought for a while, then nodded.

"What Jin Dadian said is very true. Unless the Asakura family and the Ichikozong alliance, the Chaokura family will immediately fall into the disadvantageous situation of fighting on both sides. A wise man will not take it."

Asakura Keiji's words made Yoshigin laugh dumbfounded, he said.

"The alliance between the Asakura family and the Ichiko clan? For what? To deal with the Oda family?
How is this possible, you think too much. "

Asakura Jingji laughed and nodded.

"It was me who spoke nonsense for a while, which made Jin Duodian laugh."

Da Yezhong and Kaga Yixiangzong are almost out of their minds for the sake of Daishoji Temple.How could it be possible for them to shake hands and deal with the Oda family?The idea is really ridiculous.

Yi Yin continued.

"Two, the Asakura family and the Asai family have been allies for many years and have a deep relationship. The Oda family and the Asai family are also related by marriage, and they are fighting fiercely.

With the mediation of the Asai family, the Asakura and Oda families will not fight to the point of fighting each other. "

Asakura Keiji nodded repeatedly.

"Honestly, Jindo-dono."

Yiyin said again.

"Three, the Kyoto shogunate has joined forces with the Oda family to avenge the ancestors and attack the Miyoshi family's Settsu country.

After all, the Miyoshi family was the overlord of the past, and the family fortune is still there, so the Oda family has no time to take care of the Echizen country.His Highness Asakura Yoshikage complained a few words, but His Highness Oda Nobunaga had no time to listen to it, let alone pay attention to it. "

Asakura Jingji felt that what Yoshihiro said was very reasonable, and he was indeed thinking wildly.

The conflict between the Asakura family and the Ichiko clan in Hokuriku is fierce, and it is impossible to reconcile.The Asai family is sandwiched between the Asakura and Oda families, and for their own benefit, they will try their best to ease the tension for both parties.

In addition, the Shiba family's huge interests in the Hokuriku Road trade route, the Oda family was busy attacking the Settsu country, and the Issato family focused on fighting against the Nanban sect.

Everyone is busy and has no time to do things.A few casual complaints from Asakura Yoshikage won't cause trouble.

The three reasons Yi Yin said were all well-founded, and immediately reassured Asakura Jingji, and in retrospect, it was indeed a bit unfounded to worry about.

Seeing her relieved face, Yiyin couldn't help being a little amused.

Don't look at Chao Cangjing who is over twenty years old, he is already a slim adult warrior Ji.But under the care of Asakura Sodi and Shiba Yoshigin, she has not actually experienced any storms.

The slightly immature Asakura Keiji also smiled in embarrassment, and finally put his heart back in his stomach, and continued to make a fortune by guarding Tsuruga Port with peace of mind.

Her good days are yet to come.
