The decay of the shogunate has soaked into the bone marrow.
Everyone is playing with their own calculations, thinking that the old customs that have been running for two hundred years can continue to be played.
This group of sheep actually wanted to unite and drive away their protector. This made the hungry wolf in sheep's clothing roll around laughing in the dark.
The establishment of a new political power must lay the foundation and backbone of its own ideas, which should be regarded as the foundation of the country. Such as ruling the world with benevolence, such as serving the public with rewards, giving freedom or death, and serving the government.
When will it perish?
When the vested interests dig out the foundation of the regime and cut off its backbone, even if no one says it explicitly, everyone will know that this thing is almost over.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki is still having fun, imagining that she is the only one in the world. The two hundred years of the Ashikaga Shogunate's world have already begun to collapse.
The historical law of the rise and fall of the tide and the rise and fall of chaos and chaos will always come. There is no immortal dynasty in the world, only the greed of human nature that repeats and remains unchanged.
———
When Ashikaga Yoshiaki listened to the advice of Ise Sakyo with great joy and humbly accepted the advice, Oda Nobunaga had already left the Nijo Imperial Palace.
Niwa Nagahide, who was waiting outside, stepped forward, bowed, and asked.
"Your Highness, your accommodation..."
Oda Nobunaga interrupted her and said directly.
"I won't go to Honnoji Temple anymore, let's find another place."
Oda Nobunaga's original choice of base in Kyoto was Honnōji Temple of the Nichiren Sect.
However, she was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Nichiren Sect raised a Buddhist flag to provoke the Tendai Sect, and she was unwilling to go to Honnōji Temple again.
Regardless of whether this incident was done spontaneously by Nichiren sect believers or was instigated by Honnoji Nichigen behind the scenes, it was something Oda Nobunaga could not tolerate.
This shows that the power of the Nichiren Sect has escaped the control of Oda Nobunaga. These religious fanatics have their own ideas, trying to turn against the foreigners and force Oda Nobunaga to follow the route they want.
Oda Nobunaga changed his fate against nature, turned against his mother, turned against his father, killed his sister, and seized power. How often had he been coerced by other people's methods?
Only Oda Nobunaga has always plotted against others, and anyone who dares to plot against her has already become extremely cold.
If it weren't for the followers of the Nichiren Sect and merchants who kept entering Oda's territory to provide her with taxes. If it weren't for the Nichiren Sect's iron cannon workshop, they were still helping her build weapons and equipment.
Oda Nobunaga had already burned down Honnōji Temple, letting the nuns of the Nichiren Sect know how powerful it was.
She asked with a cold face.
"I heard that when Duke Kenshin first came to Kyoto, he had no place to stay and could only stay in a Buddhist temple temporarily?"
Niwa Changxiu was stunned and said.
"I heard Hideyoshi mention this. She met Odai by chance in Kyoto, and they settled in Tofukuji Temple together."
Oda Nobunaga nodded.
"Then let's go to Tofukuji Temple."
"Hi!"
Oda Nobunaga gave an order, and the Oda family's military forces in Beijing took action.
The merchants and tourists who stayed temporarily in Tofukuji Temple were all violently kicked out by the Oda family. The temple was occupied and cleaned up inside and outside, and the nuns were forced to tidy up the rooms in preparation for Oda Nobunaga's stay.
The Tofukuji nun group is also inexplicable. They belong to the Tofukuji sect of the Rinzai sect, a branch of Zen Buddhism, and have never participated in the disputes between the samurai family.
Although Tofukuji Temple is one of the five major temples in Kyoto, its political influence is far inferior to that of Shokokuji Temple founded by the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
The Rinzai sect, Shokokuji sect, is the Rinzai sect that is close to the shogunate and likes to get involved in the disputes between samurai families. The Tofukuji sect has always been a group of nuns who rely on their excellent location to earn money and provide for their retirement.
Oda Nobunaga suddenly wanted to stay at Tofukuji Temple, which not only did not make the Tofukuji sect happy, but made them tremble.
The Linji Sect has long been defeated, and even the strongest Xiangguo Temple Sect cannot defeat the Second Ping An Sect, and can only dare to make small moves secretly.
How could the Tofukuji sect, who had always been responsible, know why Oda Nobunaga fell in love with this place? Her move there would surely attract the prying eyes of the Tendai sect and Nichiren sect. The Tofukuji sect could not survive its small life?
But regardless of whether the Tofukuji sect is willing or not, Oda Nobunaga's army is entrenched in Kyoto. If she wants to come and live there, no one can stop her.
———
Oda Nobunaga sat cross-legged, patted the tatami in front of him, and asked.
"This is the quiet room where Lord Kenshin lived?"
Niwa Nagahide nodded.
"I specially summoned Hideyoshi to ask, and she remembered it very clearly. It was this one."
Because of Takenaka Shigeharu's advice, Oda Nobunaga intended to reuse Hideyoshi Hashiba. This time he went to Luo, so he naturally took her with him.
After hearing that Oda Nobunaga said that he wanted to stay at Tofukuji Temple, Niwa Nagahide vaguely understood what Nobunaga was thinking. She simply went to Hideyoshi Hashiba and asked where Ui Gin's original residence was.
Of course Hashiba Hideyoshi remembered where Yoshigan lived at that time, but she spent the whole night listening to it in the corner, Akechi Mitsuhide's humming.
It was at that moment that she made up her mind to climb up at all costs until she was able to reach the position and power of Yiyin. Such an unforgettable past event could never be forgotten even if she wanted to.
Niwa Nagahide didn't know Hashiba Hideyoshi's complicated thoughts, so he just asked about his residence, and then supervised the nuns in the temple to sweep the couch to welcome Oda Nobunaga and introduce him to the room.
Oda Nobunaga received Niwa Nagahide's confirmed answer and carefully scanned the room. Finally, he snorted.
"It's really crude."
Niwa Nagahide smiled.
"This is a shabby room that welcomes ordinary tenants. The house price is cheap and it is naturally simple.
Or, change another room?"
Oda Nobunaga glanced at her and said.
"Just here.
I didn’t come to Kyoto just for enjoyment. It’s better to be more simple and sharpen my mind.”
Niwa Changxiu looked at his master with long eyes, feeling a little worried in his heart.
I don’t know if Oda Nobunaga herself has noticed that since Owari reunited, she has become more and more concerned about Shiba Yoshigan.
It's like a long-lasting wine, sealed with mud and exposed to the sun again. It's always extraordinarily mellow and unstoppable.
The longing that Oda Nobunaga had been secretly suppressing for the past two years, after meeting Yoshigan Shiba again, could no longer be suppressed and gradually became clear and let go.
Oda Nobunaga seemed to feel something, and glanced at Niwa Nagahide, who suddenly became silent, but was too lazy to defend himself.
The fate between Shiba Yiyin was interrupted because he let him go to Luo. After three years, when he appeared in front of her again, he became so strong.
The son-in-law who was once helpless under him became a majestic Odaisho. The thoughts that Oda Nobunaga had been piling up like firewood were instantly ignited.
She wanted to conquer this man again and make him return to his original appearance. Just like in Owari's teahouse, as long as she opened her legs, he could only lie down and open his mouth.
There is no choice but to kneel and lick.
When I think about the future of successfully conquering Sibo Yiyin again, I feel a trembling sense of accomplishment no less than conquering the world and achieving great achievements among the people in the world.
Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but squint his eyes and savor the sweetness.
Tofukuji Temple is the starting point of Shiba Yiyin's extraordinary achievements, and Oda Nobunaga lived here.
From here, conquer him again.
———
After a while, Oda gathered his thoughts, looked at Niwa Nagahide, and said.
"Mi Wu Niang, this matter was handled well. While I was in Kyoto, I stayed temporarily at Tofukuji Temple."
Niwa Nagahide bowed modestly, and then hesitated a little. Oda Nobunaga saw that she was hesitant to speak and asked.
"What do you want to say? You and I have known each other for many years and have worked together to get to this day. Is there anything else that cannot be said clearly?"
Niwa Nagahide smiled dumbly.
Over the years, the Oda family has conquered the four counties of Kamiowari, Mino Country, and Kitai Ise, and now it has occupied the land of Minami Omi.
Under the leadership of Oda Nobunaga, a powerful lord, the Oda retainers group achieved a territory of two million koku, making them the most powerful feudal clan in the world.
Today, no retainer dares to support Oda Nobunaga and express his opinions at will.
But the relationship between Niwa Nagahide and Oda Nobunaga was extraordinary, and she dared to give some advice.
"Main Hall, our success in ascending to Luo has achieved an unparalleled achievement.
But the attitude of the shogunate samurai towards us is still contempt and contempt. This time the military moved in, the samurai in the family received a lot of dislike and cold treatment."
Oda Nobunaga raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"It's better to despise me. It's better to treat me like a stone on the roadside and ignore me. Let the shogunate fight with their own hearts."
The harder they fight, the greater our value. I really hope Ashikaga Yoshiaki works harder and can drive Kenshin out of Kyoto, that would be perfect."
Niwa Nagahide said solemnly.
"The main hall, there are sixty-six countries in the world, and the stone is 20 million stones high. My family is powerful, but we only have 2 million stones.
The samurai family of the shogunate looked down upon us and were unwilling to treat us as equals. My family had just come to Konki and had just occupied Minami Omi, so our foundation was unstable.
We need allies, we need help."
Oda Nobunaga glanced at Niwa Nagahide and asked.
"Mi Wuniang, you've been wandering around for a long time, what do you want to say?"
Niwa Changxiu kowtowed to the ground and said.
"Main hall, the Asai family are your in-laws, and His Highness Asai Nagamasa is the wife of His Highness the City Lord.
Are you a little too harsh on the Asai family?"
Oda Nobunaga looked at Niwa Nagahide who spoke impartially, remained silent for a moment, and said.
"I see Asai Nagamasa as a person who is unruly and unwilling to be subordinated."
Niwa Nagahide smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Just because Asai Nagamasa refuses to obey, you exclude her like this? Not everyone is as good-tempered as Tokugawa Ieyasu, you can do whatever you want!
Niwa Nagahide reluctantly advised.
"The Asai family owns six prefectures in Kita Omi, with hundreds of thousands of stones high. His Highness Asai Nagamasa is young and promising, and is known as the Eagle of Omi, so he is naturally a little arrogant.
If you are willing to treat the Asai family well, His Highness Asai Nagamasa will definitely become our able helper.
His Highness the City Lord and His Highness Asai Nagamasa are deeply in love with each other, so for His Highness the City Lord’s sake, you should give some preferential treatment to the Asai family, right?”
It was a good thing that Niwa Nagahide didn't mention Ichi-kun. As soon as he mentioned Ichi-kun, Oda Nobunaga remembered the previous unpleasantness in Otani Castle and snorted.
The Lord of Gifu City is dishonest, and the Lord of Odani City is also dishonest. These men always don't want to see Yoshigashi Shiba, and they will cause trouble!
Seeing Niwa Nagahide's loyal face, Oda Nobunaga was a little upset.
After annexing the land of Minami Omi, Oda Nobunaga naturally had no ill intentions towards Asai Nagamasa. He had already devoured the benefits, so why should he be evil?
But the problem is, now it's Asai Nagamasa's turn to be unhappy.
The Asai family forcibly mobilized peasants and soldiers for the Battle of Kamiro, causing a lot of damage to the spring plowing. Minamiomi was captured by Oda Nobunaga, and Asai Nagamasa had no harvest. How could she explain to her retainers?
When Asai Nagamasa returned to appease the retainers, Oda Nobunaga launched Kamikaze on his own, causing the Asai family to miss the big red envelope of Kamikaze's military achievements.
All these old and new grudges are flooding into my heart. Can Asai Nagamasa not hate him?
Even if Oda Nobunaga wants to win over the Asai family, he has to consider the possibility of having a hot face but a cold butt.
If she was turned away indifferently, wouldn't she, Oda Nobunaga, lose face?
While being upset, Oda Nobunaga suddenly remembered someone and asked Niwa Nagahide.
"Did you just find Hideyoshi?"
Niwa Nagahide didn't know why Oda Nobunaga mentioned Hideyoshi at this time, but he nodded anyway.
"good."
Oda Nobunaga asked.
"Where is she now? Is she gone?"
Niwa Nagahide replied.
"She should still be outside. Hideyoshi is always cautious and polite. I didn't say that the work was done. She must be waiting for my instructions."
Oda Nobunaga asked again.
"Did the person I gave her named Yu Li, Takenaka Shigeharu, come with her?"
Niwa Nagahide thought for a while and said.
"I seem to have seen Takenaka Hime, she must have followed her."
Oda Nobunaga nodded and said.
"Call them two in."
Niwa Nagahide bowed and went out to find the person.
Soon, Hideyoshi Hashiba and Shigeharu Takenaka came to the quiet room and bowed to the ground.
Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands and said.
"Hideyoshi, you have done well these days!"
Hideyoshi Hashiba bowed respectfully and said.
"It's all due to the great hall's strategizing. We are just doing our job and don't dare to take any credit."
Because of Takenaka Shigeharu's advice, Oda Nobunaga had a special regard for Hashiba Hideyoshi, and this time he deliberately gave her a chance to perform, and she won a lot of military honors.
Hashiba Hideyoshi knew in his heart that Oda Nobunaga would support him because he had new value.
Takenaka Shigeharu's resourcefulness and Hashiba Hideyoshi's simple background made him the best candidate in Oda Nobunaga's mind to station on the front line in recent times.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga gave her the opportunity to gain enough military honors so that she could be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
Oda Nobunaga nodded with satisfaction at Hashiba Hideyoshi's respectful attitude towards current affairs. This servant-born confidant knew how to advance and retreat, and he was really easy to use.
she said.
"This time when the army goes to Luo, it is inevitable that the warrior Ji in the family will conflict with the martial arts family in Beijing. A smart person needs to handle it properly.
Hideyoshi, I will leave this matter to you. You will temporarily serve as the garrison of Kyoto and maintain peace in the capital. Don't let me down."
Hashiba Hideyoshi raised his head in surprise, looked at Oda Nobunaga, then kowtowed fiercely and said.
"Don't worry, Omiya, Hideyoshi will not let you down."
Hashiba Hideyoshi was just a member of Owari Village. He could temporarily serve as the garrison of Kyoto, and his status could be said to have skyrocketed.
If you perform well, you will not only shine in the Oda family, but also have the opportunity to make friends with other families in Kyoto and expand your network.
For Hideyoshi, a man of humble origin, this would be a life-changing opportunity.
Of course Oda Nobunaga did not give her this opportunity in vain.
Previously, she was impressed by Takenaka Shigeharu's advice. Now, Oda Nobunaga also wanted to rely on Takenaka Shigeharu's wisdom for something, so he first gave the benefit to Hashiba Hideyoshi.
