Chapter 1381 Can't Forget That Boy

In this samurai society that emphasizes etiquette and righteousness on the surface, but is actually hypocritical and selfish, the righteous system of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, trustworthiness and wisdom cannot consolidate the loyalty of warrior Ji.

But Gamo's Township had to follow Yoshiyin's samurai philosophy and promote the moral foundation of unity.In order to achieve the goal of absolute loyalty, she mixed in the methods she came up with.

That is, discipline, unity, action.Discipline is strength, unity is strength, and unified action is even more strength.

The Wu family is originally a variant of the feudal warlords, and the Wu family regime is an alternative military government.

It's useless for you to talk about moral sentiment with a group of prostitutes. The samurai's giri is just a layer of skin, and has never really conquered the samurai's heart.

But you use the exchange of benefits to lure people in, and then use military training to emphasize discipline, unity, and action, and use the collective to regulate individuals. Warrior Ji is most suitable for these methods.

The samurai's characteristic of focusing on the interests of small groups makes it easy to form a collective consciousness that abandons individual will.

Gamo clan township established an environment with Shibo Yoshiyin as the leader, unified military etiquette and clothing, idol worship, environmental control, strict discipline, establishing a collective, and depersonalizing the field.

Transform a group of [-]-year-olds who eat Sibo's benefits in order to enter the Sibo establishment into a military group with a sense of collective belonging and collective honor, and continue to use unified actions to strengthen this concept.

Gamo Clan used his own understanding of the Samurai to strengthen the collective consciousness of the Samurai and weaken the selfish side of the Samurai, and came up with a plan that made Yiyin feel a bit superior.

Although the plan seemed great, Yiyin always felt that something was wrong, as if he had seen this thing before.

He was silent for a while, and finally followed his personal needs and nodded.

"Very good, the three Sibo collars will be issued immediately, and the first selection of the Sibo Concentric Congregation will officially start.

The Ji warriors who have been selected and passed the education of newcomers will automatically receive the Sibo system.

Let the three Siba leaders recommend Ji warriors. The condition is tentatively set that the three Ji warriors with Siba's establishment can jointly recommend one person to participate in the selection.

The key point is to make it clear to me that each Sibo organization can only recommend one person for each selection, and let them think carefully before writing a recommendation letter. "

"Hi!"

---

The selection of Shiba officially kicked off, and the standardization of the Shiba family's rules went one step further.

While Yoshihiro Shiba was concentrating on housekeeping, the situation has become more and more tense in recent days.

Under Akechi Mitsuhide's persuasion, Kuchiki Motozuna made up her mind, she personally welcomed Oda Nobunaga into the country, willing to be a hostage to dispel Oda Nobunaga's doubts.

A group of people quickly returned to Kyoto from the trail in Kuchiki Valley, breaking the dream of Asakura Asai's allied forces attacking back and forth and capturing and killing Oda Nobunaga alive.

Because of the city lord's reminder from the beanbag, the Oda army, who had discovered that something was wrong in advance, retreated quickly and turned into the Wakasa country early.

Asakura Yoshikage, who was a step behind, sent more than a thousand vanguard troops to pursue, but was ambushed by [-] people led by Hashiba Hideyoshi of Kanezaki Castle, beheaded more than [-] people, and returned in a big defeat.

Asakura Yoshikage was furious and led his army to pursue him.

Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had completed the three-day blocking mission, faced Asakura's army and suffered heavy losses when he turned in. He had no choice but to retreat into Tsuruga Port, and was taken in by Asakura Keiki with a pleading letter written by Akechi Mitsuhide.

Asakura Keiji was unwilling to hand over Hashiba Hideyoshi's remnants. Although Asakura Yoshikage was annoyed, he didn't care about settling accounts with Asakura Keiji for the time being, and led the army to pursue and enter the Wakasa Kingdom.

Asai Nagamasa, who discovered the transfer of the Oda army, also quickly mobilized the army to enter Takashima County to block it, in an attempt to prevent the Oda army from withdrawing to Kyoto.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga, who had returned to Kyoto, ordered the South Omi garrison to go north to Sakamoto Castle, and he also showed his real body at the top of the city for all parties to see.

Asai Nagamasa, who discovered that Oda Nobunaga had successfully escaped, was forced to give way to prevent being pinched by the North and South Oda Army.

Oda Nobunaga led his troops to the north to meet the retreat, and the Northern Expeditionary Army returned safely. Although everything went well, thousands of people were lost in the process of retreating troops being pursued.

Because of Asai Nagamasa's betrayal, Oda Nobunaga, who retreated in embarrassment and suffered heavy losses, could not give up easily.

She left Mori Kecheng to defend the bridgehead of Sakamoto Castle, and ordered the army to return and repair.I quickly returned to Gifu City, Mino Country, and prepared to mobilize a larger army to fight again.

This time, she wants to kill Asai Nagamasa and Asakura Yoshikage together.

Xiaogucheng, living in the inner courtyard of the pavilion.

The setting sun wiped out the last ray of light, darkness descended, and the world suddenly fell into silence, only the frightened deer in the courtyard was still beating people's hearts one after another.

Repelling all the servants, sitting alone in the room with the sliding door wide open, the city lord looked at the dim courtyard outside, his eyes were dim, as if he could no longer see his future.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of steady footsteps coming through the darkness. This voice is very familiar to the city gentleman. It is the footsteps of his wife that he is looking forward to appearing in the night day and night.

But today, he didn't have the joy of getting what he wanted, only the relief and confusion of the curtain call.

Asai Nagamasa walked in, she didn't choose to sit opposite the mayor, but sat beside her, and listened to the startling deer's bamboo chirping together.

After a while, she spoke slowly.

"I have two things to tell you.

The first thing is that Oda Nobunaga has successfully escaped back to Kyoto, and her tens of thousands of troops have also escaped.

At this moment, she is on her way to Gifu City. I believe that he will mobilize again in the near future and send out Owari Mino Ise's soldiers in an attempt to wipe out my Asai family in one fell swoop. "

The mayor smiled in relief and said.

"Then what about the second thing?

How does Asai's retainers plan to deal with me?My hopping mother-in-law, is she going to cut off my head to vent her anger?

In other words, the Asai family will follow the tradition of fighting among the samurai families, asking you to separate, deport me, and send me back to the Oda family? "

Asai Nagamasa smiled wryly, and said slowly in a low voice.

"The second thing is that no matter what happens in the future, you will be my husband, and I will protect you until the moment I die."

The city lord suddenly turned his head to look at Asai Nagamasa beside him, his eyes were reddish, and there was a faint glimmer of water in his eyes.He resisted losing control of his emotions, maintained his dignity, and choked up.

"You don't have to feel guilty, just deal with me as usual.

I was the one who secretly sent out the beanbags, and I was the one who tipped off Oda Nobunaga, and it was I who made your plan fail and fell into a dilemma.

You don't have to worry about the relationship between husband and wife anymore. In fact, you and I don't have the reality of husband and wife, why should you embarrass yourself?If you offend Asai's retainers, it won't do you any good. "

Asai Nagamasa looked at the increasingly dim court scene in front of him, and let out a long breath.

"I'm sorry for not giving you the happiness you want.

I am very glad that you and I do not have the reality of husband and wife.After I die in battle, you can remarry another person without any burden, and set off again to find your future.

But please believe me, if you leave now, you will only be in trouble and danger.There will be countless people in the Oda Asai family who are hostile to you, use you, and persecute you.

So, please bear with me a little longer, and when all this is settled, you can go to the next stop and find your own happiness. "

The mayor finally couldn't help but burst out. He stood up and pushed Nagamasa Asai beside him hard, trying to push her down, but because of the difference in physique between men and women, Nagamasa Asai couldn't be shaken.

Finally, panting, he knelt on the ground, leaned on Asai Nagamasa's shoulder, and wet her coat with tears.

"Bastard! Nagamasa Asai, you bastard! Why did you do this to me! Why!
What is wrong with me?Where am I not as good as him?why. .No matter what I do, you don't want to forget him, you don't want to love me!
I have dreamed countless times that you and I are in love. You and I have three lovely sons. What a happy man I am!
But every time I wake up from the dream, I return to reality from the dream, and I will realize one thing unforgettable!one thing!My wife, she doesn't have me in her heart, only him!
Since you are so cruel!Why not kill me!Why don't you part with me!Do you know that your tenderness only makes me more painful!Made me think I still had a chance! "

The mayor tore and slapped Asai Nagamasa like crazy, and finally slapped her on the face with a crisp sound.

The Lord Shi, who had accepted the concept of the Wu family's wife and daughter since childhood, was taken aback by the slap she slapped. She froze on the spot, not knowing what to do for a while.

Asai Nagamasa looked at him tenderly, stroked his cheek, wiped away his tears, and said lightly.

"It's okay, don't be afraid. You're right, I'm not a good wife, I'm just an incompetent loser.

I used to think I could overcome all odds and nothing in the world could hold me back.

When Liujiao Yixian humiliated me, I forced my mother who chose the policy of appeasement to abdicate, and resolutely broke with the Liujiao family.

When the battle against Norada was victorious, I felt that God was helping me, and I would definitely achieve a great career!

can now. . "

Asai Nagamasa didn't continue talking, the Norada battle was very thrilling, she almost thought that she was going to lose that battle which was related to the life and death of the Asai family.

But under the horse seal of Rokkaku Yoshiken, when Asai Nagamasa saw Shiba Yoshiyin's heroic and extraordinary majesty, she fell.

That boy not only pulled the Asai family out of the abyss, but also captured her heart.

I thought this was the beginning of the relationship between the two, but I didn't expect it to be the end of the story.

Shiba Yoshigin is the sun that shines on the world.And he was just a bright star, and he couldn't even manage a group of Asai's retainers.

Being held hostage by the three counties of Kita, held by Oda Nobunaga, held hostage by his mother and Asai's retainers, Asai Nagamasa felt that he was always vacillating and at a loss.

She was so envious of Shiba Yoshiyin, that magnificent man from the samurai family, he was brave enough to call out the injustice of the samurai family and implement his giri and beliefs.

She even admired Oda Nobunaga, because he dared to break the tradition, faced the hatred of the samurai all over the world without changing his face, and always pursued his own goals without wavering.

Compared with the two of them, Asai Nagamasa felt that he was just a clown who went with the crowd.

Faced with the temptation of Oda Nobunaga, she betrayed Shiba Yoshiyin, who had been kind to her for rebuilding, acquiesced in Oda Nobunaga's assassination of Fujido Toraka, and regained control of the three northern counties by conspiracy.

Facing the pressure from her mother and retainers, she chose to betray the Oda family and stabbed Oda Nobunaga who trusted her in the back.

Asai Nagamasa felt that she was just a traditional puppet of the samurai family. She couldn't get rid of the rope, and could only walk towards the wrong future step by step.

How could she not feel ashamed in front of Shiba Yoshigin and Oda Nobunaga like this?
After the city lord vented, he looked at Asai Nagamasa's ashamed face, hating her and loving her at the same time, and finally turned into feelings of pity.

"You...don't think too badly about things, isn't the Asai family very powerful? Aren't you known as Omi Eagle very powerful?
You don't necessarily lose in a war, right?
As long as my sister can't beat you, she will still shake hands with you in the end.That's right, isn't that what the samurai do? They fight together. "

Asai Nagamasa smiled and did not refute the mayor's words.

From the very beginning, she didn't want to betray Oda Nobunaga.She had fought against Oda Nobunaga's coalition forces, and she knew Oda Nobunaga better than those stupid retainers at home, this terrible person.

There is a fire in Oda Nobunaga's heart, a fire of ambition that will burn the world.

From the moment she betrayed Oda Nobunaga, Asai Nagamasa had only one chance to defeat her.That is to join forces with Asakura Yoshikage, capture or kill her alive, and let her stay in Echizen Kingdom forever.

As long as Oda Nobunaga escapes back to Kyoto alive, the fate of the Asai family is already doomed.

Even if there is a momentary stalemate, or even an agreement, Oda Nobunaga will make a comeback again and again until the Asai family is crushed to pieces.

Because Asai Nagamasa was no longer her help, but a traitor she had to kill.

Oda Nobunaga, who has great ambitions in the world, will never stop here, she will definitely kick away all the stones blocking the way in front of her.

But all of this, Shi Jun, a traditional weak man from the samurai family, did not understand, nor did the idiots of his mother and retainers.They didn't know what the Asai family did and who they offended.

Asai Nagamasa just smiled slightly, unwilling to explain further, she said softly to the city gentleman.

"You are right. It is indeed wrong to give up now. I will cheer up and not worry you."

The city gentleman blushed, lowered his head, and the candlelight flickered, his mind became active again.

"Long Zheng."

"Ah."

"You said you were my wife, didn't you?"

"good."

"So, stay tonight, okay?"

"..."

Asai Nagamasa stood up and bowed slightly to the mayor.

"Sorry, there are still some military affairs that need to be dealt with in time. I came here to see you because I was afraid that you would be worried. I have to go back to work right now. Please forgive me."

The Lord Shi forced out a smile, and bid farewell to his wife.

"You have worked hard, please be careful on the road."

Asai Nagamasa bowed back.

"You have worked hard too, please rest early."

The two respected each other as guests and bid farewell.

The mayor looked at the figure of Asai Nagamasa who disappeared into the night, the smile on his mouth became more and more rigid, and his fingernails unconsciously pierced his palm, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

He stared blankly into the distance.

"Shiba Yoshigin...I hate you..."
