A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 29

After bidding farewell to Kaiboku Tsuna, the leader of the three generals of Kai Akame, and the veteran leader of the family's warriors, Shinkuro was even more happy with a smile.

With the corpse of the pig demon as evidence, and Miyabe Tsurujun secretly cooperating, in just a few days, his martial name had spread throughout the small half of Kitaomi River, reaching many retainers and the ears of some interested people.

He didn't even have to take the initiative to do anything. He just showed some of his strength, and a lot of people took the initiative to work for him.

Except for Asai Hisamasa who deliberately blocked the door of his room and refused to understand all this.

Now even a figure like Tsunayika Uboku, who is at the level of the three generals of "Umi Akame", can't sit still. He eagerly ran over from his own nest, and at the same time brought the last of the three generals of "Umi Akame", Yumori. Yabei's letters.

In just a few days, more than [-]% of the Asai family's retainers, including the three generals "Hai Akame", had reached an agreement on the Rokkaku family's marriage to him, and they unanimously chose to stand behind Shinkuro.

In addition to the fact that most of them have blood debts with the Rokkaku family, the most important thing is that the conflicts that have been accumulated for a long time due to Asai Hisamasa's incompetence finally found an opportunity to break out on this matter.

About [-]% of the vassals maintained a neutral attitude. Most of them were weak in their own strength, so they did not dare to form a team easily.

As for the retainers who actually agreed to accept the marriage offer from the Liujiao family, there were only a handful of them.

How many warriors who have been trained in blood and fire can endure such a huge insult?
However, according to Shinkuro's speculation, even if Hisama Asai rejects their joint protest again, things will not develop in the bloodiest direction.

First of all, although Asai Hisamasa is incompetent in all aspects, he also has an advantage, that is, he treats these retainers quite well, and does not try every means to invade their territory like many petty daimyo.

For example, there are some harsh daimyo who will deliberately collect "virtuous money" and other things from the wealthy samurai class. It is clear that they are asking for money. However, unless those samurai want to rebel, they really have no choice but to refuse. , these will not happen in the Asai family.

Secondly, although Shinkuro is the young master of the Asai family, he has not yet officially served as a Yuan.

Although he has spells and good martial arts, except for the newly joined Miyabe Tsurun and his Miyabe Castle who are good backups, he does not really have any power in his hands, and he does not have a martial name.

Samurai, warriors, in the final analysis, still rely on fighting. If you don't experience blood and death, and don't gain military exploits and kill the enemy's heads on the battlefield, no matter how powerful you are, it will be difficult to get a high evaluation.

Although the corpse of the pig demon was there, the monsters were too far away from ordinary samurai after all. They didn't know how strong they were, and naturally they couldn't be particularly convinced by Shinkuro who killed them.

The last reason is that compared to other countries where subordinates frequently defeat superiors, many samurai warriors in the Kitaomi area appear to be much more honest, perhaps due to the influence of the leader of the defense system, Hisama Asai. No ambition is fine.

The external performance is that many of them just want to hold on to their current territory and then feel satisfied.

Even many samurai have never thought about completely defeating the Rokkaku family, or even occupying the Rokkaku family's territory. As long as they are not invaded by the Rokkaku family, there is no such thing as continuing to expand their power or overthrowing the Rokkaku family.

The inner performance is that the samurai of Kitaomi rarely defeat their superiors, let alone overthrow the daimyo.

Now, I am afraid that except for the three generals "Umi Akame" and the most outstanding member of the sect, Asai Ryochika, as well as Endo Naosuke and Miyabe Tsugujun who are close to him, no one else has even thought about this direction.

Miyabe Jijun also carefully revealed the same view to him, and implicitly stated that he would always follow the master, but I am afraid the time is not ripe now.

Although Shinkuro felt a little regretful about this, he was not too anxious, because he knew that if something unexpected happened, that position would be his sooner or later.

The only thing he has to do now is to continue to strengthen his own strength, and by the way, look around.

Although the ghost girl Hongye escaped from the seal, although the guardian spirit of the winged bird only said that it seemed to be a simple coincidence, he always felt that something was not quite right and he needed to go and take a look nearby.

Moreover, he had heard many times in his previous life that cultivation required the land of a wealthy Dharma couple. Although he had just started on the right track, he had already gradually felt it.

For example, he had the spirit-sealing box and the pig demon's soul core in his hand. He knew what they could be used for and how to maximize their abilities, but he had almost nothing on hand to use. other resources, which bottlenecked things from the start.

Now he just reluctantly used the pig demon's soul core to create a rudimentary magic weapon. The spirit-sealing box was still in the same damaged state and would not be of use in a short period of time.

He also needs time to travel personally and search for materials that can be used in spells.

Cultivation, actual combat, intelligence, and resources, these are the goals Shinkuro has set for himself in the next period of time. Judging from the current consensus reached between him and many retainers, he still has very, very ample time, and may be able to achieve two goals. Maybe three years.However, in order to avoid long nights and long dreams, he will not waste time so much. When the time is right and he has gained some strength and influence, he will return to Xiaogu City and start to implement his plan.

Now he only has the monks and soldiers of Miyabe Castle as his real power, which is still lacking. Even if he successfully implements the plan with the help of other retainers, he will still be in a situation where the ministers are weak and the master is not strong. Not what he wanted to see.

The Asai family he envisioned should be his own Yiyantang!
At this moment, the attendant Kosaburo came in again with Endo Naotsune. Based on the special relationship between Shinkuro and the other party, among the many retainers, he was the most familiar person here, followed by Shinkuro's Uncle Asai Ryoki, as for his nominal father, he has to be ranked far behind.

"Young Master, this is a letter sent by Mr. Isono Danmasa. He is also firmly opposed to the marriage contract with the Rokkaku family. But he still needs to stay in Sawa Mountain Castle and cannot come in person to protest to the head of the family."

Shinkuro is not surprised at all by this, because Isono Umasa has been guarding the front lines all year round. When it comes to his hatred for the Rokkaku family, he definitely has a deeper hatred than other retainers, and he also knows that if there is a chance, the Rokkaku family will also hate him. Will let him go.

However, although this is a good thing in theory, it means that the last general in the family is also standing on Shinkuro's side, but Naotsuke Endo's face did not look very good when he spoke.

Shinkuro glanced at the letter, and after confirming that the content was as he expected, he turned to Endo Naotsune, who seemed to still have something to say.

"Lord Naojing, what's wrong? You still seem to have something to say."

Endo Naozune looked around, first gently closed the wooden window, and then signaled Kosaburo to go to the door to be on guard, and then said with a cautious expression: "Young Master, there is something strange happening among the ninjas in the city, and the target is probably you. "

Shinkuro nodded lightly, and there was no surprise at all. Although Asai Hisamasa himself was very mediocre, he inherited the foundation of the Asai family. After all, he was a daimyo who controlled hundreds of thousands of territories in Kitaomi, and he must still have some control over it. There are some special powers.

This is the home of the Asai family, and many retainers have been visiting him frequently for several days. If he, the head of the family, hasn't noticed it yet, then he'd better commit suicide as soon as possible to avoid wasting time.

"Of course I know. Jirun also reported to me that he is also under surveillance, but I don't think things will get as bad as the last step."

Although in the chaotic Warring States Period, subordinates overpowering superiors, brothers killing each other, and fathers and sons attacking each other were nothing new, such things would never happen to Asai Hisamasa.

Not only because Shinkuro is Asai Hisamasa's only son who can inherit the bloodline, but also because Asai Hisamasa has no courage at all, is mediocre and incompetent, this evaluation is not just about him externally, but also internally.

If such a person was born in an ordinary family, he might be a good husband and a good father, but he should never become a daimyo, because his external cowardice has ruined thousands of lives. Hundreds of excellent warriors destroyed more families.

"But young master, it's different this time." Endo Naosuke still looked serious, "I found some strange faces, except for some I didn't know. I can be sure that there are ninjas from Koka among them. He stirred up troubles and spread rumors in the city, seemingly intending to arouse dissatisfaction among the retainers against the lord."

Hearing this, even Shinkuro was slightly shocked: "A ninja from Koga? This guy Rokkaku Seizhen has no good intentions from the beginning."

Ninja is a special profession born in the Warring States Period.

Unlike samurai who are good at frontal combat, in addition to protecting their own important figures, most of them are engaged in some shameless tasks such as assassination, espionage and sabotage.

Although their social status is much lower than that of samurai, and even worse than civilians. They are like rats in the gutter, but the lethality that ninjas can exert is not low. The sharp swords from the dark are often the most deadly. .

Even Shinkuro now cannot guarantee that he will be on guard against possible enemies twelve hours a day, and he also needs to rest.

In the current Nippon, most of the powerful ninjas come from Kai, Musashi, Shinano, Iga, and Koka, and unlike most hired ninjas who only serve those with high prices, the ninjas of Koka have masters. They have been loyal to the Liujiao family for decades.

In the past battles with the Liujia family, the sabotage and assassination actions of these Koga ninjas also brought a lot of trouble to the Asai family.

Although the Asai family initially tried to establish their own ninjas, the plan was discovered not long after the beginning. Instead, it attracted targeted attacks from the Koka ninjas, destroying the Ninja Sato (Ninja Gathering) originally established by the Asai family in one fell swoop. The place is similar to the mountain village of Bandit Gate).

This has resulted in the fact that even after occupying Kitaomi for decades, Asai Hisamasa still only has dozens of low-strength ninjas around him, barely protecting him.

However, at present, the fanning of these Koga ninjas has more advantages than disadvantages for Shinkuro's plan. Without their fanning, the retainers may not have unified their opinions so quickly.

Having said this, Endo Naoksuke gritted his teeth and said: "Young Master, we still need to be prepared. If things change, please be sure to go to Sukawa Castle for refuge!"

　Because the names of Japan's Warring States military commanders are very complicated. They have nicknames, nicknames, formal names when they become adults, official names when they become officials, and religious titles when they become monks. They also change their names frequently, so a person has three to five names. None of them are new. For ease of reading, this book will use their common names, which are the most commonly known names.

　　In addition, this book is a magically revised version, so the timeline and other things will be adjusted. I hope all readers know this. Thanks to the novice author~
