Chapter 440: The Mountain Rain is Coming
The vast Songpu River is endless and endless, with thick waves rumbling. A mountain standing by the river for hundreds of years. A strong city is embedded on this mountain like a pearl.
This city is Anyue City, which dominates Feiqian and Zhuhou, extends its tentacles to Zhuhou, where the overlords of Feiqian and Luo family are located.
At this time, in the magnificent and spacious Anyue City Council Hall, Masayora was secretly discussing with a mysterious guest who came from Satsuma.
This mysterious guest is Asu Weiqian.
Speaking of Asu Weiqian, we have to say that his father Asu Weichang also has the strange Kikuchi family.
The Kikuchi family of Feihou was once the most powerful family of Feihou, and the guardian position of Feihou has always been controlled by the Kikuchi family. But this family is really weird.
During the battle for hegemony, when the Hei clan was struggling in Tannoura, the Kikuchi family always supported the Hei clan and paid the price of the death of the eldest son of the family at that time. During the "Seiji Rebellion", most of the supporters of the emperor were ministers and monks. However, the then governor of the Kikuchi clan, Kikuchi Nyotsuki, was a member of the Imperial family and was also the court guard in Kyoto according to the orders of the shogunate, but he was surprised to stand on the side of the emperor. In the early days of Emperor Go Daigo's rebellion, it was true that the people in the Kikuchi clan were in the early stages of the fall of Emperor Go Daigo, and it was indeed the people in the Kikuchi clan. People have accumulated many years of resentment towards the shogunate, but they should not "unaware of the current affairs" and attack Hakata. During the decades of opposition between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Kikuchi family has been loyal to the Southern Dynasties. Some people may say that this is because the Southern Dynasties gave them benefits, but it is not only the Kikuchi family who made their fortune because of the fall of Emperor Go Daigo. It seems that the Kikuchi family has a stubborn and tough personality in their bones. They value friendship more than interests, which is indeed different from other families.
Unfortunately, in the Warring States Period, when the magnificent and famous generals emerged, the so-called difference was bound to lead to the gradual decline of the family.
As expected, during the last two generations of the Kikuchi family, there was a rebellion of retainers. Although the rebellion was finally pacified after two generations, the last generation of the orthodox head of the Kikuchi family died of serious injuries when quelling the rebellion. At this point, the orthodox lineage of the Kikuchi family officially withdrew from the historical stage. The strength of the Kikuchi family gradually weakened.
So many forces of the Hokage began to look up. At this time, Asu Weichang, the governor of the Hokage Omoto Yoshikazu, appeared. He first colluded with Yoshikazu Omoto Yoshikazu, to strengthen his strength, and further instigated many of the Kikuchi family's retainers. In the second year of Yongzheng (1505), twenty-two retainers including Huo, Akasai, Kumabe, and other twenty-two retainers jointly submitted a petition to the Kikuchi family's governor, asking him to hand over the position of guardian of the Hokage. If Asu Weichang was appointed as the position of guardian of the Kikuchi family, of course, the governor of the Kikuchi family would not agree. So in the third year of Yongzheng (1506), Asu Weichang contacted the Omoto family and the Aoray family, and took advantage of the battle between the Kikuchi family's governor and the Omoto army to attack Kuma Prefecture City, and drove the Kikuchi family's governor to Mizushima. Weichang finally obtained the position of guardian of the Hokage. Then he gave the position of guardian of the Asu Weifeng to his younger brother Weifeng, and he succeeded as the governor of the Kikuchi family and changed his name to the Kikuchi Wujing.
However, ambition is like a bottomless pit, which cannot be filled. In order to allow his son to compete for the status of the Asu Shrine Omiyaji. Asu Weichang and his son Asu Weichang launched an army to challenge the head of the family Asu Weifeng, and finally defeated it in one battle. He drove Weifeng out of the Hashinoku Hall in Yabe, and in a hurry, Weifeng had to flee to his retainer Kafixun. After four years of preparing for the troops, Asu Weifeng regained the Hashinoku Hall with the help of Kafixun, and exiled Weichang, the former father and son to Satsuma.
A few years later, with the support of the Shimazu family, Weichang and Weixian father and son made a comeback again, trying to kill Feihou. At this time, Jiafei's son had already died, but the two fathers and sons of Gugu met Jiafei's son Jiafei's son (Masamu Zongyun). So they were defeated again, and finally had to escape back to Satsuma in shame.
A month ago, when the people of Zhengliang found the father and son, they realized that Asu Weichang had been buried in peace several years ago with endless resentment and ambitions, leaving only his son Asu Weiqian, who was still trying to return to Feihou.
At this time, Asu Weiqian was also having a hard time. As the Shimazu family, which unified the Satsuma Peninsula, fell into a battle with many Chinese forces in China, and the Izumi Shimazu family, who had always supported his father and son to return to Fei, was almost in name only. Under such circumstances, Asu Wei, who had almost lost his role, naturally, would not have a good time, and the treatment he received was getting worse and worse.
Just as Asu Weiqian was wasting his time, Zhengliang's envoy suddenly appeared in front of him. This made Asu Weiqian feel like he was holding a life-saving straw.
With one victory after another, especially the recent victory of the Oto family coalition, the reputation of the Luo family has spread throughout Kyushu. Even Asu Wei, who is far away in Satsuma, has heard of it. If he can get the support of such a powerful daimyo, his ambition after returning to Fat would never be disappointed.
So, after some hint from the envoy of the Luo family, Asu Weiqian immediately jumped to Feiqian, and finally had a meeting today.
"Do you still want to go back to Fatty?" Zhengliang, who lured Asu Weiqian to recall his escape career, finally stared at Asu Weiqian and asked.
After feeling Zhengliang's aggressive eyes, Asu Weiqian couldn't help but feel shocked. According to rumors, the Luo family's governor is named "Fatty Eagle". He is brave and cunning and resourceful, which makes people unable to defend against.
Since the other party worked hard to find him in Satsuma, he would definitely not be kind, and there must be something in it. However, with Asu Wei's current intelligence, he really couldn't think of what the other party was trying to get from him, and he immediately evaded a little when facing Zhengliang's gaze.
"It seems that you are not as good as your father! Come and see me off." Zhengliang was very clear about Asu Weiqian's little thoughts. However, in addition to sneering, Zhengliang really didn't know how to evaluate Asu Weiqian's current performance.
To put it bluntly, Asu Weiqian is actually a useless man now. At least for now, he has no strength and no one to be a man. The only thing left is the identity that is barely a little valuable. It can be said that it is time to end up, and this guy is still hesitating?
Asu Weiqian's performance disappointed Zhengliang. He had already spent most of his intentions to cooperate with Asu Weiqian. Even if he really cooperated, Zhengliang would not dare to have any high expectations for him. Some would only use it and even turn him into a puppet.
When Asu Weiqian saw Zhengliang's intention to see him off, he quickly said, "I'd like to ask Master Fei Qianshou to help me. I'm willing to follow the leader of the Luo family."
"Very good!" Zhengliang surrendered when he saw Asu Weiqian being forced so simply. Although he was still dissatisfied with Asu Weiqian's performance just now, he still pretended to be very happy. This guy is not useless, at least he has the potential to be a puppet.
"I will provide you with food, weapons, and even send someone to help you if necessary." After completely surrendering to the fore, Zhengliang spoke again.
"Ah?" Asu Weiqian did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. At this moment, he even doubted whether the person in front of him was the legendary cunning "Fat Forbidden Eagle".
"Haha, don't doubt, these are true, but your actions must be done as I ask. Of course, the main purpose of the actions is to let you return to Fatty and retake your father's honor back then." Zhengliang said again.
"Just just follow the order when you get your order?" Asu Weiqian confirmed again. In Asu Weiqian's opinion, Zhengliang's words had another meaning, that is, when he did not get Zhengliang's order, he could act according to his own ideas.
"Yes, but you also need to provide me with a population regularly."
"Population?" Asu Weiqian suddenly became confused.
"Yes, your original location is close to the border of Fahome, Satsuma, and also close to the Amacao Island. I hope you can plunder the people there. At that time, my family will naturally have ships to receive these populations." Masayoshi said.
"Okay." Although he was still confused about the purpose of Zhengliang's doing this, he almost missed an opportunity. Now he could no longer give the bad impression of the young and overly young head of the family in front of him, so he decisively agreed to Zhengliang's request.
Of course, Zhengliang's actions in secretly supporting Asu Weiqian did have a purpose. He hoped to use Asu Weiqian to lay a nail in Satsuma secretly. This nail will play a certain role in the Satsuma strategy of the Luo family in the future.
At the same time, in Feihou’s strategy, this nail can also be used as a pawn to restrain the Xiangliang family in Feihou’s south, so that the Xiangliang family has no time to take care of the disputes in Feihou’s middle and north.
In addition, there are many forces in the Amako Islands spanning the Yamahara Bay, Shimahara Bay and Orange Bay. These are basically half-heroes and half-pirates, and they are also forces that Masayora must face in his next strategy plan.
The location of Asu Weiqian is now is just close to Azusa Island, and it has a close relationship with many forces on the island. Perhaps in the near future, Asu Weiqian will play a lot of role in the Luo family's strategy for this place.
Before and after seeing off the aspiring Asuwei, it was almost noon. But it suddenly started to rain in the sky. This was the first spring rain in early spring. At this time of previous years, the spring rain had already fallen slowly, but this year it was particularly late.
"What a spring rain, what a mountain rain!" Standing in the inner room of the tall Tianshou Pavilion, Zhengliang looked at the rainy scenery under Anyuecheng Mountain and couldn't help but sigh.
"Come!" At this moment, Zhengliang suddenly shouted.
"Master of the family!" asked immediately, Naoshima, the little surnamed Kokushima who walked in quickly.
"Immediately order the horse preparation, we will go to Tokkoji Temple in Tangjin now!"
