If it can be said that when Akemitsu Hide came to Luo to kill Oda Nobunaga at Honnoji Temple, she was still able to mobilize and command 13,000 troops to surround Kyoto.
So now Akechi Mitsuhide, apart from the two or three thousand troops directly under her own command, she can no longer make other coalition forces bow their heads and obey orders.
The Shiba family's territory in Kinki is not large. The core Kinki Shiba territory only has 200,000 koku.
Ushiba Yoshigan used the traditional values of the samurai family to win over the shogunate, the powerful local factions in the shogunate, the remaining forces of the Ashikaga family, and the powerful samurai families in Kinki to form a coalition to fight.
Through the cooperation experience of several sieges on the Miyoshi family, the Rokkaku family, and the Oda family, the mobilization system of the Swami Allied Forces headed by Kinki General Maeda has matured.
Akechi Mitsuhide went to Luo this time in the name of conquering the Hatano family's rebellion in Tamba Kingdom, mobilizing 13,000 troops and commanding the coalition to fight.
Her power comes from the royal decree of the sage, and her military power comes from the authorization and cooperation of the interests of Kinki General Maeda.
Akechi Mitsuhide besieged Honnōji without authorization, killed Oda Nobunaga, and the coalition forces surrounded Kyoto. This was actually the result of the tacit consent of the Kinki coalition forces.
But now that Oda Nobunaga is dead, Akechi Mitsuhide has no use value.
Akechi Mitsuhide has not been involved in human affairs in recent years, wandering between the Shiba and Oda families, and has offended many Kinki samurai families.
Let’s just say that in the current situation, there are far more people who want her dead than those who want her alive.
When Miyoshi went to Luo and killed the general Ashikaga Yoshiteru, didn't everyone know that Miyoshi and the others were unjustly accused?
I know, but so what? The master of the world is dead, and someone has to stand up and take the blame. It's bad luck for three good people and three others.
This time, it's the same thing.
Oda Nobunaga is dead, but the Oda family's four million koku territory is still there. No one wants to be splashed with blood by the Oda army's backlash. If Akechi Mitsuhide is not dead, how can we get the blame?
When the sage comes back to Kinki, his eyes are like a torch and he can distinguish right from wrong. Who will not be afraid of more variables?
Instead of panicking, it would be better to sell Akechi Mitsuhide and let Oda's ministers vent their grievances, and then everyone can continue to live their lives.
Besides, can Akechi Mitsuhide be considered innocent? Miyoshi and the other three died much more unjustly than she did.
Matsunaga Hide has endured Akechi Mitsuhide for so many years, pretending to be a close friend with her hot face against her cold butt. Does she really like Akechi Mitsuhide, the bastard who always cheats on her?
The fire that broke out in the Imperial Palace when Miyoshi came to Luo was an eternal pain in Matsunagahide's heart.
If she hadn't been ruthless and decisive, framed Miyoshi and the other three, and sent Ashikaga's family to the West, the grass on the graves of the Matsunaga family would have been five feet high by now.
Akechi Mitsuhide knew all about Matsunagahide and threatened Matsunagahide many times to do things for him. Matsunagahide had long since become intolerable.
If Mitsuhide Akechi could be silenced forever, Nagahide Matsushita would certainly be willing to help the Oda family take revenge and let go of Yodo City's water transportation interception.
Therefore, when Akechi Mitsuhide woke up from a coma and wasted five days, she had lost control of all situations and could only be forced to face an infinitely malicious new environment.
———
The bells of Daitoku Temple echoed, and a ceremony to commemorate Oda Nobunaga was being held.
As the sect closest to Oda Nobunaga, the Daitoku-ji Temple faction of the Rinzai sect came forward to collect the remains of Oda Nobunaga’s burnt body, held a funeral for her, and prepared to bury her in Daitoku-ji Temple.
In this regard, the Tiantai Sect, Rinzai Sect and other Kyoto temples all acquiesced and even sent people to help.
The various samurai groups in Kyoto that had previously ignored Oda Nobunaga's plight also sent people to pay their respects to this rebellious and innovative samurai warrior.
At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide had already sensed the change in the political direction from the scale of the funeral and the number of people participating, but she had no energy to change anything because she had more important things to do.
Akechi Mitsuhide was meeting with the Tendai sect Tenkai disciples at Nanzen-ji Temple, in the Kyoto Zen room where Oda Nobunaga loved to stay during his lifetime, the same room where the saint once lived in abjection.
On the night of the Incident at Honnoji Temple, Tianhai was heartbroken when she saw the other courtyard on fire, and then the black man who crawled out of the dog hole in the other courtyard brought her even more trouble.
Oda Nobunaga died, but his daughter Kiyomaru was given to the Tendai Soni Corps stationed in the main hall of Honnoji Temple.
The black man saw a group of Tendai sect nuns coming to investigate, stuffed Miraculous Maru into the arms of Tenkai, who was the most luxuriously dressed among them, left a last word from Oda Nobunaga, and disappeared into the night.
When Tianhai saw clearly the face of the child in his arms and the infant Oda Nobunaga's seal seal, he was suddenly confused in the wind.
She led the Ni Corps to withdraw from Honnoji Temple overnight and retreated to Nanzen Temple near Kamogawa River, ready to run back to Mount Hiei at any time.
It wasn't until news came from Kyoto that Mitsuhide Akechi had suffered a miscarriage and was in coma, that Tenkai people, who were so frightened that they almost wet their pants, stopped to watch.
Akechi Mitsuhide was in coma for five days. Countless forces inside and outside Kyoto came to visit Tenkai, in fact, to confirm the true existence of Miracle Maru.
As more and more people came, Tianhai became more and more confident.
Because no matter whether it is the martial arts family or the sect, everyone's attitude is very clear, nothing will happen to Qi Qiwan!
If Kijimaru and Oda Nobunaga died together in the fire at Honnoji Temple, everyone could blame Mitsuhide Akechi and clap their hands and pretend to be innocent.
But if Mitsuhide Akechi kills Kiwimaru now, no one will be able to escape responsibility.
Back then, a saint could mobilize a hundred thousand troops to fight Oda Nobunaga over an illegitimate daughter of Takeda who was forced to give birth.
Today, who can guarantee that the saint will not get angry with everyone present in Kyoto because of the daughter he gave birth to with Oda Nobunaga.
At this moment, there were only two people in the room, Tianhai and Akechi Mitsuhide.
Amami held the sleeping Miraculous Pill in his arms, Akechi Mitsuhide looked down at the baby girl, and the room was silent for a moment.
In the distance, the bells of Daitoku Temple were heard, and the funeral of Oda Nobunaga was coming to an end. No matter how powerful a person was, no matter how powerful she was during her lifetime, she would eventually be buried in a pile of loess.
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes were full of complicated emotions. The baby girl who was just over one month old no longer looked like a newborn wrinkled monkey. Her fair and tender face was covered with baby fat, and she was snoring very cutely.
Not long ago, Mitsuhide Akechi buried his unborn child, who was also a baby girl.
Looking at the magical pill in front of her, her eyebrows were actually slightly longer, and her facial features were vaguely similar to Shiba Yiyin's.
Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, if my child is still alive, will he look like a saint? After all, a daughter is like her father.
A knife-like feeling came to his heart, but Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes became increasingly numb.
