When Suzuki Shigehide was hiding in Nakomura to recuperate, and Dr. Suzuki Zuo was shot to death, the defenders at Honganji Temple also began to collapse!
Many soldiers fled every day. Some even secretly killed and ate the cavalry horses because they were so hungry. Some even found a strong rope and escaped along the rope while they were on guard duty at the top of the city at night.
The Oda coalition surrendered outside the city.
Honganji Kenjo and the garrison in the castle had not eaten for several days. Yorikane Shimoma ran away without knowing where he was, and the other elders locked themselves in their rooms and never looked back.
By the time they came out, all the elders knew that surrendering to Oda Nobunaga would not end well, so they simply committed suicide.
Suddenly one day, Yorikan Shimoma suddenly appeared from the city with dozens of people who looked like porters. They brought the food that was urgently needed in the city and solved the urgent need of Honganji Temple.
However, Honganji Xianru's face was still gloomy. He knocked over the food brought by Shimama and angrily shouted: "You have entered a forbidden area, right?"
I saw Yoriken lowering his head deeply and saying nothing.
Seeing Yorikane Shimoma's resolute look, Honganji Temple seemed to have some tricks up its sleeve: "You have violated one of the strictest temple rules since the opening of Honganji Temple. You can leave."
"Host! Me!" Yorikane Shimoma's face was full of tears: "I was wrong! But I had no choice but to do it! In order to prevent Honganji Temple from being destroyed into ashes, so what if I died? You, the host, are taking care of yourself, but if you let it go like this
How many devout disciples have been killed, can you really bear it?"
But Honganji Kenru turned around and stopped looking at Yorikane Shimoma. No matter how Shimoma begged, he remained as silent as a mountain.
In the end, Yorikane Shimoma left in despair. He didn't know that Honganji, who had turned his back, was crying silently: "Yarikane! You must live well! Let's go first!"
As soon as Yorikane Shimoma came out of the secret passage, he saw that the Ishiyama Honganji Temple in the distance was already billowing with smoke! There was a raging fire!
Ishiyama Honganji Temple was destroyed like this
Lai Lian suddenly felt despair. I am no longer a Buddhist disciple. Maybe I will be happier if I go back to my hometown and become a country farmer.
After taking over the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the Oda family has already conquered the Neki area, which is the broadest, most populous and economically developed area in Japan!
At this time, the Oda Allied Forces began to divide the captured territory. Due to strategic considerations, Du Fei selected Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Iimori Castle and other areas near the sea of Izumi. Tokugawa Ieyasu occupied Iga just in case.
Half of the country was used as a rear base to resist the invasion of the Takeda family.
Oda Nobunaga is undoubtedly the one who sent the most troops and the most power among the three alliance countries. He obtained most of the captured land, including half of the Izumi Kingdom and most of the Tanba Kingdom, as well as a small part of the Takeda family's territory.
.
At this time, all the powerful daimyo in Kinki have been wiped out! The only ones left are the remnants of the Hatano family in Yakami Castle and the power of the Suzuki family in the coastal Zaga town. Looking at the entire Kinki, the only ones with independent political power are
The Kantsutsu family who occupies the land of Maru is left.
Oda Nobunaga didn't talk nonsense to him, and directly sent a letter of surrender to the city. Frightened, Kantsutsu Junkei immediately rode to his main city overnight and surrendered.
Oda Nobunaga didn't give him a good look at this, and patted his bald head in public: "You are so unconscious, you have to let me come to your door."
"Ah, I was wrong! General, forgive me! Forgive me!" These words of Junkei Kantsutsu almost saved his life. When Oda Nobunaga was happy, he originally planned to kill him with a wave of his finger, but he suddenly
He changed his mind and the Jian Tong family was spared.
As soon as he left, Matsunaga Hide, the governor of the Matsunaga family who had surrendered to the Oda family, came with a sneer on his face. As soon as Kinoshita Tokichiro saw him, he was so angry that he drew his sword and shouted: "You shameless person! You still have the nerve to come!"
Come on!"
"Stop!" At this time, Oda Nobunaga shouted! He stopped Tokichiro. He looked at Matsunaga Hidenichi with contempt: "Why haven't you committed suicide yet? Didn't I already promise you that as long as you commit seppuku and apologize, your
The family and territory will be preserved. Are you trying to force me to change my mind?"
"No, no." Matsunaga is indeed an old man. He shamelessly knelt at the feet of Oda Nobunaga and said: "I want to present a famous artifact in my collection before I die. I think only His Highness Nobunaga is worthy of using this."
Such a famous instrument!"
After hearing his words, Oda Nobunaga raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Come in and talk."
I saw Matsuhisa Nagahide fawning like a dog and followed Oda Nobunaga into the castle tower.
Seeing this scene, Kinoshita Tokichiro followed him quietly, but unexpectedly, he was slapped hard on the shoulder by a strong big hand: "What the hell? Monkey!"
It turned out that it was Du Fei who came by invitation. He saw the monkey eavesdropping furtively and was very curious: "What's there to see?"
"Shh!" Tokichiro quickly told him to shut up, and took Du Fei to the back door of the castle tower.
I saw Matsunaga, who had broken contracts several times, smiling respectfully, and carefully took out a delicate small box from his arms. He opened the box little by little, and inside was a tea set with a strange shape and sparkling purple light!
"Oh, could this be it?" Oda Nobunaga, who loved collecting these famous utensils, was shocked: "Could this be the Koheimei spider?"
"As expected of His Highness Oda! I recognized him at a glance!" Matsunagahide was unwilling to miss any opportunity to please Oda Nobunaga. He explained diligently: This famous utensil came from the famous tea master Ishikawa Kage during the Kamakura period.
The Hand of Show has a strange but elegant shape. At first glance, it looks like a purple spider lying on the table, hence its name. I spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it from a merchant in Kanto. Now
Please allow me to give it to the overlord of Kinki who is more qualified to possess it!"
After saying that, Matsunaga buried his head deeply, and held the Guheira spider in his hand forward with both hands.
But Oda Nobunaga put away his happy expression, pretended to be nonchalant, and picked up the Guhei Ming spider frivolously with one hand.
After looking at it for a moment, he suddenly made a move to throw the tea utensil away!
Matsuhisa was so frightened that he shouted: "Absolutely not!" In desperation, he even hugged Oda Nobunaga's feet.
Du Fei and Tokichiro, who were peeking outside, both laughed. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was Oda Nobunaga who was testing him.
"Well, this thing is good!" Seeing Matsunagahide's reaction, Oda Nobunaga immediately understood that this was a treasure, so he happily handed it to the waiter carefully.
"You guy!" Oda Nobunaga's smiling face suddenly dropped, making people couldn't help but think of the phrase "turning the page faster than turning the page in the book".
"Do you think you can get your life back by offering such a thing?" Oda Nobunaga's eyes seemed to be glowing with red fire as he glared at him, frightened Matsunaga out of his mind and said: "Sir, please don't leave."
"But it is indeed a good thing! I am in a good mood today and want to congratulate you. You can still live on."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Matsuzuki Nagahide knocked his head on the ground, and even Tokichiro and Du Fei who were outside clearly heard a crisp sound.
At this moment, Oda Nobunaga changed the subject: "But! If I feel unhappy about your life one day, I will go and take it away at any time. Don't be surprised."
What a cruel trick! In this way, even if Matsunaga Hide is alive, he will live in a nightmare forever! Living like this, maybe it is better to be stabbed quickly. Du Fei thought to himself.
At this time, he felt that there was no need to eavesdrop anymore, so he opened the door generously and walked in.
Oda Nobunaga seemed a little angry when he saw the door being opened at first, but when he saw that the person he saw was Du Fei, he immediately changed his face to a kind one: "Dusan! You are here!"
Du Fei glanced at Matsuhisa Nagahide, who was like a rat crossing the street, from the corner of his eyes. Seeing his evasive and timid appearance, it was hard to imagine that he was one of the murderers who killed General Ashikaga.
Facing Du Fei's sharp gaze, Matsunaga immediately lowered his head and said, "Then I'll take my leave now!" After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.
"Why do you keep such a scumbag?" Although Du Fei only met him once, he also hated this kind of person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and went back on his word.
I saw Oda Nobunaga saying disapprovingly: "There is nothing to fear from a guy like this! Even if we lend him some courage, he probably won't dare to cause trouble anymore! Our biggest problem now is not him but sitting in Mu's mansion.
That bastard!"
Du Fei's brows suddenly raised: "You mean General Ashikaga Yoshiaki? Do you want to touch him?"
"This ungrateful thing! I, Oda Nobunaga, fought hard all the way to send him to the position of general! In the end, he openly resisted me! It was all his fault that we suffered so much and fought so many battles!
"At this point, Oda Nobunaga's eyes suddenly burst out with resentment: "I have decided! I will destroy him now! I will be the shogun myself! I don't need these puppets anymore!"
"What?! You want to abolish the general? I'm afraid the daimyo in the world will take the opportunity to attack us. You know, we have just roughly unified Kinki! I have almost control of the Shikoku side, so don't worry.
Shimazu and Otomo from Kyushu, Motonari Motonari and Ukita from Chugoku, Uesugi Yunobu from Echigo, Katsuyori Takeda from Kai, and the Hojo family from Kanto. Countless forces have concentrated their firepower, and I am afraid it is our Three Kingdoms Alliance.
It’s also difficult to defeat!” Du Fei analyzed calmly.
"You are wrong," Oda Nobunaga said disapprovingly: "The only ones who can support Ashikaga Yoshiaki are these daimyo from Kinki. However, they have been destroyed by us. In other words, everything we have done before is to strengthen our power.
The second reason for my own strength is to pave the way for the expulsion of General Ashikaga!"
After meeting with Du Fei and Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga really did this shocking thing: deposing the general he supported with his own hands!
Although this was not difficult for Oda Nobunaga, who occupied almost the entire Kinki region, considering the consequences of this incident, almost everyone in the world was stunned by his almost crazy behavior.
But Oda Nobunaga still went his own way. He believed that he had the strength to dominate the world, and all the daimyo would be afraid of his strength and dare not interfere.
But Du Fei and Tokugawa Ieyasu understand that someone will definitely stand up to oppose him, and this person will be very powerful!
