Until there was another burst of sonorous roar, the gunpowder smoke slowly rose up, and the thick white smoke covered everything in sight. Waving away the iron artillery team just gave the hot iron cannon a chance to cool down for a while. Without cooling, the iron cannon could not continue to be loaded with gunpowder.
, otherwise it will easily cause the danger of spontaneous combustion of gunpowder.
The faint screams coming from the imperial palace became smaller and smaller, and suddenly he realized that he had made a very stupid mistake without knowing it. He used the noble general in the imperial palace as a target and opened fire violently, probably because he was dissatisfied with his lack of courage.
Fat, risking the lives of the shogunate to show how brave he is.
Miyoshi and the other three looked gloating, and loudly mocked him for daring to attack the general in the imperial palace. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so frightened that he trembled all over, jumped down from the shoulder carriage, pointed at Matsunagamichi and shouted angrily:
: "You, you, you... don't you know who is in this Chang's Palace? You are trying to trap me in Yiqiu and injustice!"
Matsunaga's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and he knelt on the ground and bowed his head without saying a word. After hearing the news, Matsunaga showed that the situation was not good, and quickly knelt down and begged: "His Royal Highness is blessed by gods and Buddhas. I believe he will not
It's going to be dangerous, I'll ask His Highness to come out as soon as possible, it's going to rain in a while."
"Yes! We must quickly invite our elder brother out of the palace..." Ashikaga Yoshiaki raised his head and looked at Tsunegosho hurriedly. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he stood motionless in place. He panted violently for a long time and pointed at the fire that rose from the roof of Tsunegosho.
Hei Yan said with difficulty: "The Imperial Palace is on fire... How could the Imperial Palace be on fire! Hurry up... go put out the fire!"
"Oops! Your Highness is trying to harm himself! Save people quickly!" Matsunagahide panicked and shouted to wake up the shocked Miyoshi family samurai, shouting: "Why are you still standing there? Are you all going to die here? Quickly!
Go put out the fire!"
"Ha...ha!" The ashigaru of the Miyoshi Army dropped their weapons and frantically searched for tools to put out the fire. However, the palace was in a mess after being swept away by the flames of war. In such a hurry, they couldn't even find a single tool they were used to.
The three good troops were moving up and down.
When Matsunaga Hide saw the flames rising from the roof, the helpless Miyoshi family samurai looked frustrated and annoyed and acted helpless. He got angry and stepped forward to push the samurai out of the way. He cursed: "Pull the siege ram over here."
, Bump the door! Knock the door open and save people!"
At this moment, thick smoke was billowing in the Imperial Palace and fires were everywhere. The remaining Feng Gong people in the Imperial Palace fell to the ground. Most of them died in the iron cannon bombardment just now. The sudden volley of iron cannons hit the imperial palace by surprise. Sanbuchi Teng
Ying was shot dead on the spot, and Niki Yoshinaga's calf was broken. In extreme pain, he committed seppuku and committed suicide. Settsu Harumon's legitimate son Settsu Itochiyomaru also died. He lined up in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru to build a wall of flesh and blood, using his tender body to build a wall of flesh and blood.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru strives for a short respite.
Isshiki Fujiucha lay on the ground and gasped fiercely. Blood spurted out from his nose. A pool of blood on his chest had stained his clothes red. Mitsumasa Ishitani stabbed his abdomen with his ribs in his hand, making a diagonal cross, and his intestines were minced.
Blood spurted out, and he shed tears from the severe pain. Ishitani Mitsumasa suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, I, Mitsumasa, will go first!"
Seeing his companions passing away one by one, tears of reluctance fell from the corners of Isshiki Toucho's eyes, and he gasped for air in the smoke-filled Nagasato. Until he breathed his last breath, at this time, there were only two people still alive in the Nagasho, one
One was Settsu Haruto who was slightly injured, and the other was Ashikaga Yoshiteru who was seriously injured.
Ashikaga Yoshiki sat back upright in pain while holding the gunshot wound in his abdomen. He leaned on his ribs with one hand and pushed Settsu Haruto open. He said intermittently: "I can't survive... I hate beheading... I don't want to die."
The whole corpse... Please throw my body into the fire and dissolve it, my sworn brother! I came here innocent... and I will leave innocent..."
"I understand!" Settsu Harukato couldn't help but burst into tears. He knelt down and bowed his head and said, "I will never let His Highness's body be humiliated. Never!"
There was a thunderous explosion and dark clouds filled the air. A small gap opened in the specially reinforced gate of the Imperial Palace, revealing some scenery outside the Imperial Palace. Ashikaga Yoshiteru raised his ribs and stabbed it down. The next moment, blood suddenly appeared. Ashikaga Yoshiteru endured it.
I clenched my ribs in severe pain and scratched my ribs violently, and blood spurted out of my mouth uncontrollably.
"Genji's thousand-year dream has been shattered, and the pure fire has burned away the evil in the world. In May, the drizzle is like tears, and I would like to send my name to the sky." Ashikaga Yoshiki panted fiercely, staring at the door with wide eyes as it was finally knocked open, slowly
He slowly lowered his head and took his last breath.
The Miyoshi family samurai who broke in saw the house full of corpses, with broken swords scattered all over the floor. The blood stained a large tatami mat. Several well-dressed samurai either committed seppuku or lay down in the corner and died quietly, with bright red
The flames spread quickly and quickly engulfed several dead bodies in the corner. Such a tragic sight made them collectively stunned.
Settsu Haruto knelt beside the shogun from beginning to end without raising his head. When he took his last breath, he cried loudly: "Don't be anxious, Your Highness, I will take you with you. Let's go together!"
Under the watchful eyes of the Miyoshi family samurai, Settsu Haruto picked up the body of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and walked slowly to the blazing fire cave. He disappeared after a while. Matsuzaki Nagahide squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and glanced at the full room in the Imperial Palace.
The corpses on the ground and the blazing fire hurriedly asked: "Where is His Highness Gongfang? Ah? Where is His Highness Gongfang?"
"His Royal Highness committed suicide by committing seppuku... and then a warrior carried the body... and walked in there."
"Ah! What did you say? Why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you die together!" Matsunagahide pulled out his sword and gave the samurai a serious blow, kicked him into the fire, raised the bloody sword and cursed
Said: "Find the body of His Highness immediately, no matter dead or alive, you must see it! If you can't see it, you can't live!"
The Miyoshi family samurai panicked and stared at the terrifying scene like a fire cave in the palace. They didn't even dare to enter the door, let alone find the body. Miyoshi Masayasu squeezed in and shouted to find someone, and learned that Ashikaga Yoshiteru was dead.
In the fire cave, my son-in-law was scolded by Matsuhisa Nagahide and asked to die, and he suddenly felt unhappy.
"The person who drove His Highness to death was your stupid son Matsunaga Hide. Why should you let the son of my Miyoshi family die for your stupid son's stupidity? If you have the ability to go into the fire cave, go in by yourself. Don't drag the son of my Miyoshi family with you.
You good man, this matter is not our business, everyone is coming with me!" Miyoshi Masayasu actually pulled everyone away without saying a word, making Matsunaga's delicate body tremble and curse continuously.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki no longer wanted to sit on the shoulder and enjoy the blessings. When he learned that his elder brother Ashikaga Yoshiki had committed suicide and was unwilling to give the Zen throne to his younger brother, he was both resentful and angry.
He was pacing back and forth in front of the burning palace and yelling curses. He was just cursing Ashikaga Yoshiki for his stubbornness and his unwillingness to bow his head until death. It was simply ridiculous.
Everyone was dead, and there was little point in continuing the rescue. Miyoshi and the other three people were a step ahead and ran to the corner with oil on their soles. Miyoshi Yoshitsugi also found an excuse to go outside to treat the wounded. Ashikaga Yoshiaki walked back to the shoulder angrily.
, on the way, I saw a group of warriors escorting a dozen women from the corner.
The sharp-eyed Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw his mother Keijuin and shouted anxiously: "You despicable samurai don't get out of here, how dare you disrespect my mother!"
"I'm waiting for you, absolutely not..."
Several Miyoshi samurai hurriedly put away their tachi, and in the blink of an eye they all hid in the crowd to hide from their sins. Ashikaga Yoshiaki searched a large circle and found that Matsunagahide ran to put out the fire without knowing where he was. His teeth itched with hatred and he hurriedly came forward to apologize: "Mother
Sir, the baby is late! You will suffer!"
Kejuin looked at the young man who looked exactly like Ashikaga Yoshiteru and said, "You are Kakukei!"
"Yes! The child has not seen his mother for many years and misses her very much..."
"The nun is not the son of a brother-killer and a regicide. Go away! The nun doesn't want to see you again!" Keishuin walked a few steps away from him as if he saw a ghost, and avoided Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki did not expect that he would encounter such an embarrassing invitation, but he was so annoyed that he looked ashamed and embarrassed. However, the dignified future general was avoided by his mother in this evasive way, and still in front of the public.
Next. This is really a loss of face.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was both angry and depressed, so he simply refused to warm up to his cold buttocks, and allowed his mother to walk step by step to the blazing flames of Tsuneo Imperial Palace, but unexpectedly Keijuin cried out sadly: "Yoshiki
!You finally left... Now that you are gone, I will have no regrets in this life. It is time to go down and accompany your father..."
After saying that, Keijuin jumped into the sea of fire, and was engulfed by the boiling flames in the blink of an eye. Ashikaga Yoshiaki saw his mother disappearing into the sea of fire. He was stunned with shock, and then served Keijuin.
The maids nearby jumped into the fire one after another, causing the scene to completely lose control.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! Are you lining up to die together?" Watching his mother jump into the sea of fire without any regrets, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was stimulated and went crazy. He stumbled back to his shoulder and shouted: "Go ahead.
! Go all! If you want to die, die quickly! I don’t want any of my brother’s retainers or maids! Let them all die!”
The samurai of the Miyoshi family were in disarray. After hearing what Ashikaga Yoshiaki said, they gave up their plan to restrain the remaining maids, so the maids captured from all directions really lined up to jump into the sea of fire. No one even uttered a word to beg for mercy, or
Those who are cowardly and unwilling to die will cherish their lives. These people have many origins and are very diverse. Some are samurai who have served as shoguns for generations, and some are just ordinary maids. They are grateful for the kindness of the Ashikaga family and are willing to die in return, so there are
I saw the scene of everyone lining up to jump into the sea of fire.
Among those who died, the eldest was an old samurai in his seventies, and the youngest was a cute little girl of eight or nine years old. She was a maid serving beside the servant. The family had been retainers of the Muromachi shogunate for generations.
Before she died, the girl asked her mother in fear: "The flames are so hot. Will it hurt if I jump in?"
Her mother smiled slightly, hugged her and said, "Although it is very hot, as long as my mother is here, I can bear it and it will be fine."
The little girl nodded obediently, and just like that, a family of seven, old and young, walked hand in hand into the sea of fire to be buried. Before they died, their eyes were clear and their expressions were calm, without any fear at all, as if they were happily yearning for something beautiful.
, jumping into the sea of fire with the piety of a pilgrim, without any hesitation from beginning to end.
Even Ashikaga Yoshiaki's sister-in-law, the little attendant with a big belly, stumbled to the front of the palace that turned into a sea of flames at this time, and cried loudly: "Your Highness! I am incompetent, I can't keep an heir for you, I am
Now we will take our children to Huangquan to find you..."
The more than a thousand samurai of the Miyoshi family were completely dumbfounded. The timid samurai's whole body was shaking like chaff. Some of them rolled their eyes and fainted. Some were so frightened that they even leaked urine and feces. Matsunaga Hide was also frightened and trembled all over, suffering.
Face said: "Hundreds of people in Nijo Imperial Palace were killed. This is really a big incident."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was frightened. He huddled in his shoulder bag with his head in his hands and kept chanting: "If I tell you to die, you will die...Why don't you surrender when I ask you to surrender? My brother looks down on me, and my mother looks down on me."
Me, every one of you looks down on me...why do you treat me like this? I am a direct descendant of the Ashikaga Shogun family!"
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's childhood memories are always of the towering ancient trees of Ichijo-in. When he was just born, the shogunate had a very difficult time. Ashikaga Yoshiharu and Hosokawa Harumoto opposed each other several times, and they reached an agreement several times with the mediation of Rokkaku Sadeyori.
Harmony, just running back and forth between Kyoto and Sakamoto all day long, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, as the legitimate second son, was raised in the Konoe family. According to the rules of the shogunate, he decided very early on to become a monk in life.
When he was five years old, he took advantage of Ashikaga Yoshiharu's return from Sakamoto for another vacation. He presided over a ceremony in Kyoto to confirm Ashikaga Yoshiaki's identity as the son of his grandfather Konoe Shoichi, and then he was sent to Kofukuji Ichijoin.
As a representative of the Konoe family, he became a monk and became a monk. Over the years, he only came back the year Ashikaga Yoshiharu died of illness. He left before he had a chance to say a word to his mother, Keijuin.
He has never enjoyed even one day of fatherly and motherly love since he was a child, and has developed Ashikaga Yoshiaki's extreme character. Perhaps this has something to do with the inheritance of the Ashikaga family. His temperament is very similar to Ashikaga Yoshiki's more than ten years ago. Likewise,
He is stubborn and paranoid, but his character is more narrow-minded and lacks the strong opinions of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, which makes him always full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards his elder brother Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who is loved by thousands of people.
This caused Ashikaga Yoshiaki to rather listen to the slanders of the Miyoshi trio and Matsunagahide than to believe what his brother Ashikaga Yoshiki said. He always believed that he was the one who had the truth, while his brother represented ignorance, and felt that the shogunate
People with lofty ideals should wake up and bow to him when they see him, and Ashikaga Yoshiki should retreat bravely and hand over the throne of the shogun in time.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's hair bun was torn open, and he shouted with disheveled hair: "In the end, every one of you betrayed me! My brother is like this, my mother is like this, and you guys are just like this. How dare you be so brave?
Die! I know you all look down on me and would rather die than obey my orders. You all deserve to die! Damn!"
"Boom...Boom!" A bright lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating this dark world. In the brief light, almost every samurai saw the ferocious and terrifying expression of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and this section was unforgettable.
The memory will always be engraved in the deepest part of my heart.
Suddenly, a drop of rain fell on Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face. The ice was cold across his cheek. Matsuhisa Nagahide couldn't see clearly. When he knocked it carefully, another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky. Ashikaga Yoshiaki's
His face was already covered with tears. He cried like a child.
The little raindrops quickly turned into dense raindrops, and in a moment they connected into a line of rain as if falling from the sky, overwhelmingly hitting the Miyoshi soldiers in the imperial palace. The torches were extinguished, and the blazing fire was also slowly extinguished. Time has passed
Unknowingly, at the second watch of the day, the three good troops, who had nothing to ask for and gained nothing, slowly retreated.
Matsuhisa Nagahide was soaked inside and out by the heavy rain and was in a state of embarrassment. He trudged hard on the potholes and muddy ground, slowly walked to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, knelt down in the puddle without hesitation, and said: "Please ask His Highness Kōkata to return to the Christian faith."
Go to Huguo Temple and rest! It won’t be too late to deal with everything tomorrow!”
Ashikaga Yoshiaki stood in the heavy rain and stared blankly at the gradually extinguishing Jōgosho. His whole body had already been soaked in a miserable state. He wiped the rain off his face and said feebly: "I'm fine, I just want to wake up for a while and don't worry about me..."
…”
Matsunaga Shushin said that you have a delicate body and you can ignore the torture of this disease, but I have to stand with you in the rain and get tired at an old age. If you really get sick from diuresis, you will be asking for trouble.
, his son Matsunaga has caused such trouble and he still doesn’t know how to clean up the trouble. At this juncture, if he falls on the bed and cannot get up for a few months, he can give the white-haired person to the black-haired person.
So he had to resort to scaremongering and said: "His Royal Highness is about to enthrone. If he gets sick from the heavy rain at this moment, it will delay the enthronement ceremony. It will be a trivial matter, but it will be worse if he gets a serious illness such as typhoid fever."
It’s a big deal!”
Ashikaga Yoshiaki thought that this was the case. He cried and repented. It was not a problem to continue standing in the rain. If he contracted an ancient difficult disease such as tuberculosis and typhoid, he would be cured in a short time.
If it's not good, maybe the root cause of the disease will fall, and the body will collapse completely. In vain, Ashikaga Gitoki, so he coaxed him back to the shoulder room again, and the army returned to Toji Temple.
A heavy rain washed away the filth that Nijo Imperial Palace suffered that day, but it could not cover up the embarrassment of a once-prosperity destroyed by war. The bodies of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Keijuin and others still remained in the smoky ruins.
How could the responsible Sanhao Army brave heavy rain in the dark night to clean up the mess?
Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the 13th shogunate of the Muromachi shogunate, the 12th shogun Odaisho, the daughter of the late former Sekishiro Konoe Naomichi, the sister of the former Sekishiro Konoe Aimei family, and the current aunt of the current Sekishiro Konoe Maekyu
The corpses are placed in this inconspicuous pile of ruins. This inconspicuous place has ruined the lives of countless loyal ministers and good generals, buried the blood expectations of more than ten generations, and the essence of the Muromachi Shogunate's bloodline has come to an end at this moment.
