Oda Nobunaga knew that Takenaka Shigeharu was excusing Hideyoshi Hashiba, she sneered.
"I don't care how arrogant the Zahe people are these days, I just know that this monkey has embarrassed me."
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was not prepared to reason, Hashiba Hideyoshi's face turned pale, but Takenaka Shigeharu answered calmly.
"Main Hall, the death of the Nanman may not be a bad thing for you.
Ever since the Odaisuo retreated from his residence and returned to the throne, the shogunate's advancement of Luozhong's legal system has stalled.
Although the massacre of the Southern Barbarian missionaries was carried out by subordinates of the Yixiang clan, the Yixiang clan was rarely active in Kyoto, so they were by no means the main instigators.
Those who are afraid of the Southern Barbarian Sect's forces entering Kyoto are actually the various sects in Kyoto, especially Mount Hiei.
The Ichigo clan is just a sword in the hands of various factions in Kyoto. Why don't you take this opportunity to put pressure on the shogunate?
A bloody massacre occurred in the castle town of Kyoto, which seriously offended the majesty of the shogunate. The legal system in Luozhong cannot be delayed any longer, and progress must be made to strengthen public security in Kyoto.
Mount Hiei will not let the shogunate punish the murderers because they need this sword to scare the Nanman Cult who have been eager to enter Kyoto.
They will definitely hold back the shogunate and prevent Ichigo Zong from being punished.
The shogunate cannot give you an explanation. You can use this as an exchange and let the shogunate pass the Rakuchu legal system and grant the Oda family the legitimacy to permanently reside in Kyoto.
The main hall and the grand palace have left, and the shogunate's need for you is constantly declining. If the Luozhong legal system cannot be passed as soon as possible, the Oda family's military force will have to leave.
The army has been away from the territory for too long, and the summer and autumn harvests are about to begin. Most of the troops in Minami Omi need to go back and participate in the busy farming.
Once most of the Oda family's troops leave, it will be even less possible for the shogunate to meet your demands and pass the legal provisions of Rakuchu that suit your wishes.
The killing of the Nanman this time is actually an excellent opportunity for you."
Oda Nobunaga looked a little better after listening to what Takenaka Shigeharu said.
She asked Hideyoshi Hashiba.
"Can Shanko Shengcheng be saved?"
Hideyoshi Hashiba said quickly.
"The doctor said it's certain."
Oda Nobunaga nodded.
"If she dies, get out of here."
Hideyoshi Hideyoshi fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Hi!"
Oda Nobunaga looked at Takenaka Shigeharu and said.
"I want to kill Ise Sakyo."
Takenaka Shigeharu was stunned. Ise Sakyo was trying his best to plan for the Oda family to pass the Rakuchu legal system. How could Oda Nobunaga have murderous intentions for her?
The current situation of Ise Sakyo is actually very bad. Ashikaga Yoshiaki has lost trust in her, and the shogunate group has also abandoned this leader because of the Shiba family's revenge.
She had no choice but to hug the Oda family's thigh tightly, which was actually the shogunate's grip that Oda Nobunaga could use.
Takenaka Shigeharu hesitated.
"Main Hall, what do you think?"
Oda Nobunaga looked a little strange and said.
"Anyway, I want her to die."
Takenaka Shigeharu remained silent.
She didn't care whether Ise Sadaoka died or not, as long as Hashiba Hideyoshi would not be unlucky because of the death of the Nanman, that would be fine.
———
Times are changing, people's hearts are changing, and everything is changing, including relationships between people.
The shogunate is weakened, and now even cats and dogs dare to step on its face.
There was another bloodshed in the castle town. Before Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Nijo Imperial Palace could get angry, almost all the temple abbots in Kyoto sent their blessings to the new Ashikaga shogun.
The congratulatory card sent by Enryaku Temple on Mount Hiei is particularly disgusting. The light of the Buddha shines everywhere, the joy of Dharma is filled, the blessings of the Three Jewels, and the blessings and wisdom.
Lord Kakushu was so shameless that he praised Ashikaga Yoshiaki as a god descended from heaven. All factions in Kyoto carried the sedan together, seemingly wholeheartedly supporting the new shogun's rule.
But who is Ashikaga Yoshiaki? She doesn't know much about shogunate politics, but she has been a nun at Kofukuji Temple for so many years. She knows exactly what is going on in the minds of these colleagues.
The various sects seemed to be supporting her, but in fact they were exerting pressure to make the murder in the castle town smaller and smaller, making her death in vain.
The Nanman missionaries died? What a good death! The Nanman believers suffered heavy casualties? Why didn’t they die!
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki dares to pursue the case, the various sects will not be happy. Although the samurai family and the sect seem to be in charge of their own affairs, faith is pervasive.
Miyoshi Nagakei bore the name of Buddha's enemy and could not catch his breath until his death. Ashikaga Yoshiaki would not end up like that, but the bald heads would do anything for their own benefit.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not want to offend these former colleagues. When he was in trouble, the sky had already darkened. Under the night, a new Tenchu ​​was launched again.
———
In a house in the castle town of Kyoto, a wisp of candlelight flickered dimly, and a dozen Hime warriors were crowded in the room.
It seemed like they hadn't been out for a long time, and the house was filled with the smell of rotten food and human excretion.
In order to reduce consumption, they either lie down or lean against the corner. Their faces, which have not seen the sun for many days, are unhealthy and pale, and their heads are drooped, as if they are sleeping but not sleeping.
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the door. Everyone quickly picked up the weapons around them and stared at Warrior Ji beside the door.
Odate and Ueno looked at each other, and the code they tapped was correct. Ueno nodded to the warrior Hime by the door, and the man asked softly.
"who is it?"
"I, Sanniang, follow the rules and bring you some food."
This familiar voice relaxed everyone's tense nerves. Warrior Ji at the door smiled, pulled away the debris blocking the door, and prepared to open the door.
Taiguan's heart suddenly jumped and he whispered.
"etc."
Everyone looked back at the Grand Hall with confusion in their eyes, including the Ji warrior who was about to open the door.
At this moment, the door was kicked open violently, and a figure rushed in. It was Sanniang who had just spoken.
Before everyone could recover, several iron cannons came in, making loud bangs and bangs. Warrior Ji by the door bore the brunt of the attack and was beaten into a sieve.
Immediately afterwards, several Ji warriors wearing robes broke in.
Tai Kwun and Ueno shouted at the same time.
"Hold them off!"
———
Outside the door, Kondo Isamu frowned as he watched the commandos being beaten out.
The people inside carried a large amount of weapons and equipment, which were the weapons and equipment used to ambush Takada Yukino that night, and were difficult to deal with.
I don't know where the problem was. The contact person who was coerced into calling the door made them realize that something was wrong, and the raid failed.
Kondo Isamu turned to Hijikata Toshizo and said.
"We can't attack by force. Let's light a fire."
Hijikata Toisho nodded and turned to leave. Kondo Isamu said politely to Dohashi Morishige.
"Hime Dohashi, I'm begging you. You can't let anyone go, life or death."
The Dohashi guard nodded and made a few gestures behind him. The Dohashi people who had surrounded Yashiki obviously tightened their circle.
Hijikata Toshizo walked forward quietly and gestured to several Mibu wolves holding torches. They nodded and stretched out the torches in their hands.
The flames burned brightly, and it turned out that straw had been piled around the house and lamp oil had been poured over it.
Grain Drum
Most of the buildings in Kyoto are made of wood. These Mibu wolves dared to set fire to the house. It was really audacious. If the fire could not be controlled, God knows where it would end.
Kondo Isamu didn't want to use this move at first, but the house was full of elite Ji warriors and they had a large number of weapons. They couldn't attack by force, so they could only attack with fire.
She wasn't crazy either. She just cleaned up the surrounding area and lit a few isolated piles of straw to give the appearance of a fire attack. She didn't actually set fire to the house.
To be continued...
