Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at the waving flags and beating drums outside the Imperial Palace, and knew that this was the sound of the Miyoshi Army entering Ninomaru and knocking on the gate. The public could not hold on to even one of the Otemon gates, and continued to hold up the remaining gates.
It doesn't make much sense. It's better to take the opportunity to block a few city gates with huge trees and rocks, hoping to hinder the Three Good Army for a moment.
The remaining shogunate, regardless of the pain of his physical injuries, knelt on the ground and cried bitterly and begged, hoping that the shogunate could take back his life, but Ashikaga Yoshiki shook his head firmly and said: "I have made up my mind.
You don’t need to say anything else!”
At the moment when mourning was everywhere in the Imperial Palace, a dark shadow flashed in a hidden corner of the Imperial Palace and disappeared. After a while, the black shadow quickly returned to the Imperial Palace in the northeast corner. When passing through the open space outside the courtyard,
Seeing the dead bodies of the Three Good Soldiers lying on the ground, I was not surprised at all, and walked into the courtyard without stopping.
The black-clothed ninja bowed and said: "We will use secret techniques to temporarily clear out the nearby Sanhao family's insurrectionary troops. The Sanhao army will notice something abnormal in a quarter of an hour at most. Please leave quickly!"
Hattori Warden frowned and said, "What do you think of the situation ahead?"
"His Majesty Kōkata and Keijuin are holding firm in the Imperial Palace, and Kamizumi Isemamoru is among them. His Highness Kōkata has announced his decision to fight to the death. I believe the result will be obtained soon."
Hattori Chief turned around and said to Konoe Kenko: "It's the end of the Shinto period now, and the sun is about to set. Ashikaga Yoshiaki announced to the court that the day will come to an end today. He can't break his promise and lose face in front of the two hundred thousand people in the court and Kyoto."
, the Three Good Army must not be able to wait any longer, His Royal Highness the General is determined to die for honor. But the Imperial Palace cannot die. Nor can he stay here waiting for the days of confinement!"
Kenko Konoe caressed the little faces of his daughters lovingly and said softly: "I want to stay here with His Highness, and the same goes for entrusting the two children to Iwami Shrine..."
Hattori Baochang said firmly: "It's different! It's completely different! Staying here for Odaisho-don will not bring any benefit to the situation, and it is more likely that His Highness the General will suffer unjust injustice!"
The two little girls were so nervous that they didn't even dare to eat lunch for a long time. After relaxing, they were exhausted and fell asleep peacefully in their mother's arms. Konoe Kenko hugged the children and whispered softly: "How do you say this?"
Hattori Chief tried his best to persuade: "Odaisho-dono must not only take care of the two lovely princesses and preserve the bloodline of the Ashikaga family, but also inherit the ambition of the shogun. Take everything that happened today out of Nijo Gosho and let the people of the world know it."
Knowing everything that happened today, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will definitely discredit His Highness the Shogun at all costs in order to achieve the legitimacy of his usurpation of the throne.
It is very dangerous for Godaisho-don to stay here. It is very likely that he will be claustrophobic or even suffer unpredictable humiliation. The life of the two princesses will also be very miserable. The most important thing is that the truth of what happened today will be revealed by Ashikaga Yoshi.
Qiu gently covers it up, even if His Highness the General dies, he will suffer unjust injustice!"
"Are Iwami Moriden joking? This is not funny!" Konoe Kenko turned pale with fright. What a woman fears most is being captured and humiliated after the war or even worse. She clutched her chest and was nervous.
He said: "With my status as the Imperial Palace, do those warriors from the Four Kingdoms dare to humiliate me?"
"The Miyoshi family of Shikoku is very famous for their brutality, debauchery and shamelessness. Miyoshi Mikyu and Major General Okamoto are the ones who have learned from the past and we must be careful!" Hattori Bauchou secretly apologized, and had no choice but to use alarmism and smear the Miyoshi family to make Konoe Xianzi deceived the peasant into giving him the Nijo Imperial Palace.
The reputation of the young Major General Okamoto spread far and wide, and spread to the prefecture as Miyoshi Yoshiken frequently brought his wife in and out of Kyoto. This woman was originally from the Awa Okamoto clan, and her father was Okamoto Mimasaku, the lord of Saijo Tojo Castle in Itano County. , married Awa and protected Mototaka Hosokawa as a concubine, and gave birth to Hosokawa Shinyuki, the legitimate son of Mochitaka Hosokawa.
In the last years of Tianbun's reign, Miyoshi Yoshiken killed the nominal lord Hosokawa Mototaka in the Mianxingji Temple, and supported his son Hosokawa Shinyuki as a puppet, which caused the Awa Hosokawa family headed by his father-in-law Kume Yoshihiro and Sano Tanba Mamoru to be imprisoned. There was a collective resistance, so he killed his father-in-law Yoshihiro Kume in a gun battle and separated from Mrs. Kume.
Then he married this young Major General Okamoto, and in the two years after the marriage, he was left with two boys, Miyoshi Nagaharu and Toga Deho. Since Miyoshi Yoshihide died in the Battle of Kumeda, he was replaced by Miyoshi Yoshihide's family elder. Shinohara escaped and took over as his wife, and subsequently gave birth to a son and a daughter. The fate of this miserable woman just confirmed the truth that beauties have a bad fate.
When she heard what happened to the young Major General Okamoto, she was so ashamed and angry that she really couldn't imagine how humiliating she would be if she fell into the hands of the Shikoku samurai. The royal palace of the majestic General Zhengyi was occupied by the barbaric and lowly Shikoku samurai. It was unimaginable to see that scene, she would definitely commit suicide first.
Hattori Bouchou knew that it was unfair to smear the Shikoku samurai in this way. He muttered a few words of apology silently in his heart and continued to threaten: "According to the intelligence below, these three three good people have despicable characters and none of them is a good person. Miyoshi Choitsu is an old pervert. Kang is a scoundrel who loves women, Iwanari Tomomichi is a hypocrite who likes widows, Matsunaga is also a womanizer, Naito Sokatsu likes men, and it is said that he had a secret affair with his nephew Matsunaga..."
"Stop talking..." Konoe Kenko covered her ears and said in confusion: "Stop talking! I will leave Nijo Imperial Palace now! Stop talking..."
…
In front of Sannomaru, which is only more than 100 meters away from the core area of Nijo Imperial Palace, a temporary formation screen was set up as a command post for the coalition attack. Ashikaga Yoshiaki sat in the formation screen in high spirits and scolded Fang Qiu. This was the first time in his life. Once I went out into battle, I was inevitably a little excited. I sat in the battle screen and showed off my knowledge of military strategy to several generals. I was dazzled by the descriptions of little tricks such as meeting the forest and Mo Ru. I also kept showing off what I had studied over the years. Experience in the art of war of the Ming Dynasty.
Only then did Miyoshi and the trio realize that the future general also had a habit of celebrating his achievements. A samurai who only completed his first battle in the battle at the age of thirty would brag about how knowledgeable he was in front of a battle-hardened general. And one knows what kind of complex emotions the samurai of the Miyoshi family viewed him.
You can't help but listen to what Ashikaga Yoshiaki says, if their names are called and they each tell their experiences. Pretending not to hear clearly would be a slap in Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face. You can only do this when you have never killed an enemy with your own hands. Even The "new" samurai, who had never seen what the enemy looked like, pretended to be dumbfounded in front of him.
Matsunaga listened happily to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's narration. Whenever he thought he had reached the most exciting part and started to talk about it, he would try his best to pretend to be curious and inquiring. When Ashikaga Yoshiaki took the initiative to reveal the answer, he would still be able to tell the story.
He showed just the right amount of surprise and applauded excitedly. He is truly an excellent actor.
Miyoshi Masayasu was so fed up that he couldn't resist it. He kept scanning Miyoshi Changitsu with his eyes, and took the initiative to lean over and softly said: "Isn't Matsunaga Danmasa too enthusiastic? Look at him, if it weren't for his old age.
And I don’t have a daughter. I’m afraid I would have volunteered myself to serve him long ago!”
Miyoshi Choitsu said thoughtfully: "Matsunaga Danmasa wants to take this opportunity to jump off the ship!"
"How to say?"
Miyoshi Changyi shook his head and ordered: "When we capture the Imperial Palace later, we must keep an eye on His Highness and never let Matsunaga succeed in his attack!"
Now Miyoshi Zhengyasu understood what was going on. He was about to get angry when he was stopped by Miyoshi Changyi. After whispering a few words, he immediately put away his angry expression and was overjoyed. He stood up and said loudly: "Your Highness, you must not
You know that Matsunaga Danzhoden is also a battle-hardened general! It was Matsunaga who conquered the Yamato Kingdom. This is the first Yamato guardian of our samurai family in the past 500 years. He is not only good at commanding troops to fight, but also very good at managing internal politics.
A brilliant way to turn stone into gold!"
Ashikaga Yoshiaki asked curiously: "Oh? Is there anything else?"
Matsunagahide said quickly: "I was just lucky enough to meet His Highness Shukoin's favor. With the active cooperation of many warriors of the Miyoshi family, especially the generals here, I was able to take part of the control of Yamato Kingdom with great difficulty, and the three southern counties.
There is no control over Asuka Kyo, Kofukuji Temple in the north controls Nara Kyo impeccably, the people of Yamato have a very negative attitude towards their subordinates, and they are still far away from controlling Yamato."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki suddenly realized: "That's it! No wonder the poor monk... When I was in Ichijo-in as the shrine of the young monk, I heard that the Miyoshi army had invaded the vicinity of Nara Kyo and launched a raid on the Tsutsui family's territory. If it weren't for Miyoshi Nagasaki,
In the event of Qing's death from illness, Matsunaga Danmasa should probably seize the actual control of Nara Kyo!"
Matsunagahide was too humble and did not dare to dare. He seemed to have accidentally caught a glimpse of Miyoshi Masayasu's treacherous smile. A hint of vigilance immediately flashed in his eyes. He was about to find a reason to retreat outside the formation, but was stopped by Miyoshi Masayasu, who had quick eyes and quick hands: "
His Highness Kakata must still not know that Naito Bizen, who is sitting here, is the guardian of Tanba and the senior general of the Miyoshi family, or the younger brother of Matsunaga Danzenden. He once narrowly escaped death from Shima Tokikatsu's arrow.
His military exploits are still higher than those of others."
"The younger brother of Matsunaga Danmasa is also an excellent samurai!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki nodded happily: "Since he is so powerful, why not let Matsunaga-den and Naito-den take the lead in the general attack!"
Matsunaga's expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "I am old and frail and cannot bear the torture of battle. I have not worn this armor for many years. I only wear it on the eleventh day of the first lunar month every year to show it off, and in the summer it is taken out to dry and remove.
Moldy smell, please His Highness Gongfang, in view of your old and decrepit body, allow me to serve His Highness Gongfang!"
Hearing his father twisting and turning very quickly to avoid the fatal blow, Matsuzuki Nagashima knelt down with a grimace and begged: "I also want to serve His Highness Gongfang. I admire His Highness Gongfang's heroic appearance very much..."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki ignored Matsunaga at all and said to himself: "It's really pitiful to say that. Then I will grant Matsunaga Tanmasa's request and serve by my side from now on! The first hand is given to Tanmasa.
Let’s be responsible for everyone in the main hall!”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" Matsunaga Hide bowed respectfully and thanked him. Then he glanced at Miyoshi Masayasu and others, and his eyes became more ferocious and sinister. He wished he could pull out his sword and chop off the heads of these three bastards on the spot.
, his left hand was always pressed firmly on the sword, struggling, and finally he could endure the bad breath.
After hearing the order, Matsunagamichi sat down and almost burst into tears as if he were mourning his concubine. Naito Sokatsu's eyes were so full of despair that he almost drew out his sword and wiped his neck. His emotions were so intense that it was terrifying, while Matsunaga's face was gloomy at this time.
His eyes were like red-hot coals, locked firmly on Mihaoshi and the three of them for an instant. This deep hatred fell into Mihaoshi Changyi's eyes, and he was not afraid at all. Instead, he returned the favor with a smile.
"I never thought that I, Jiuhide, would fall into the hands of this old guy! It seems that I am usually too careless!" Matsushita Nagahide was so angry that he was set a trap with his face covered and then kicked himself into the trap.
This taste is simply painful.
At this point in the war, victory is already certain. Ashikaga Yoshiaki brought the main formation here to wait for the Nijo Imperial Palace to accept the key point. And these 15,000 troops are all the elite of the Miyoshi Army who have experienced battles for a long time, and they are not dead.
Only the skinny and weak Owari soldiers were left, and when they were about to capture the castle, they suddenly slowed down and grumbled around the broken gates of Ninomaru for a long time. There was only one reason for this, and that was to find someone to take the blame.
Someone needs to be responsible for the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Someone must bear the blame. Ashikaga Yoshiaki is the great general of the future conquering the barbarians. Of course, he cannot be stained by such a big black pot. Then the person who takes the blame can only come from here.
Several people came to look for him. Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been bragging here for a long time in the hope that someone will take the initiative to urge the attack.
As long as such a fool shows up, the blame can be pushed out. It's a pity that both the three good people and the Matsunaga Hide party are all cunning and cunning, and no one takes the initiative to urge them. So Shen Shichu captured the four gates.
, at the end of Shen Shimo, he was still in the embarrassing situation of standing still outside a few unguarded gates outside Ninomaru.
Miyoshi Nagaitsu's reaction was unusually quick. Taking advantage of Miyoshi Masayasu's seemingly stupid performance, he seized the opportunity of Matsunagahide to relax his vigilance and encouraged Miyoshi Masayasu to make a rash speech, using his strength to take the blame for the fall of the Imperial Palace.
It was a pity that Matsunagahide was evaded at the last moment by Matsunagahide's quick wit. However, their goal was successfully achieved in the end. There was not much difference between his brother and son going into battle and himself going into battle.
Matsunagamichi begged for a long time but could not refuse. Instead, Miyoshi Masayasu sneered at him, his face full of embarrassment. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and withdrew from the formation. He shouted angrily: "Attack! Attack immediately! Capture the Nijo Imperial Palace and you will be rewarded heavily!"
…
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's military order suppressed the battle, Matsunagamichi used all his strength to fight, 13,000 troops gathered from all directions to launch a massive attack, and captured the unguarded Ninomaru almost instantly. The stone sealing of the gate was only a temporary measure.
, it could be blocked for a while but not for a lifetime. The battering ram slammed into the last line of defense, and the gate was completely blocked by huge trees and rocks. The important officials of the shogunate never thought about leaving alive. The remaining members of the public gathered in front of the imperial palace to do something.
The final desperate struggle.
At this time, Mrs. Jinshi's little attendant also walked out of the room with a big belly. She was very worried when she saw the trembling imperial palace gate. Ashikaga Yoshiki looked back and shook his head. The little attendant turned around and retreated into the imperial palace. She didn't dare to
Going to see her father who looked desperate, she was very afraid that she would die. She was carrying the general's child in her belly, so she couldn't die.
Qingshouyuan looked at the little attendant's leaving figure coldly and said: "Yihui! You have disregarded your own safety, but Xianzi, have you ever thought about your safety? What about the safety of the children? You are willing to sacrifice your own safety.
In case of martyrdom, the palace and the princess of the general's family cannot be taken as prisoners."
"This is my negligence..." Ashikaga Yoshiki was silent for a moment and said: "I believe that Yoshiaki will not be stupid enough to attack his sister-in-law!"
Keishuin shook his head and said nothing. His son and daughter-in-law were both close relatives. When they were at odds, the mother could only protect her son. Even though her daughter-in-law, Kenko Konoe, was her biological niece, even though she was gentle, virtuous, and kind, impeccable from head to toe.
The mother will still favor her reckless and impulsive son.
Xu saw that the city gate was sealed again, and the impatient Sanyoshi Army warriors tried to climb over the city wall one by one. They found that the defense in the imperial palace was very weak, and they immediately yelled to convey the message to their companions. The samurai outside the imperial palace immediately heard the news.
Overjoyed, in an instant more than a hundred samurai ashigaru climbed over the city wall and rushed into the imperial palace.
"Charge! Kill!" Sanhao Army warriors shouted and rushed to the front of the Imperial Palace to launch an attack. Feng Gongzhong tried his best to line up in a row to block with left and right. For a time, dozens of people outside Chang Imperial Palace were fighting in a ball, swords flashed into pieces, and they were brave.
Hidetsuna Kamizumi held the Fudo Kuniyo gifted by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and like a tiger, he drove down the mountain with swords and swords, and with his own strength, he tore a hole in the enemy's camp.
More than a dozen disciples, led by Yagyu Sogan and Shioka Kazuha, followed closely and formed a wave of counterattacks. Linzaki Jinsuke held down the scabbard with his left hand and moved his right hand with a flash of light to open the throat chakra and cut through the fragile flesh of the neck.
A huge, hideous and terrifying head soared into the sky under the influence of huge force, and blood poured down from the head. Linzaki Jinsuke was so excited that his whole body trembled, and his eyes exuded cruelty and bloodthirsty light.
The morale of the Miyoshi Army was dampened by a wave of counter-attacks. The situation in the Imperial Palace was shaken by a few skilled and bold swordsmen. Hidetsuna Kamiizumi stood bravely and fearlessly in front of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace was full of ashigaru soldiers, and there were no long-range units that threatened the safety of the swordsmen. Several Miyoshi generals who rushed into the Imperial Palace were shocked and angry, and immediately made contingency plans. The three gun ashigaru in the front row lightly withdrew.
Change to the tachi warrior and stand in the front row.
This change of tactics gradually increased the pressure on the swordsmen. Killing a samurai is many times more dangerous than killing a mixed soldier. After all, Hidetsuna Kamizumi is an old man over sixty years old. No matter how brave he is, no matter how skilled he is, he will still be old and frail.
His blood was exhausted, and he was panting from exhaustion after hacking more than a dozen people in a row. He had no choice but to heal himself and slowly backed away with the sword. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
