To be precise, the royal teachings issued by the Emperor Masachika were circulated in all directions, but unfortunately most of them were blocked by the Oda family samurai in Kinai. Only Ashikaga Gitoki took a special route, and from Maizuru Port to Saigoku and Kyushu.
The several announcements of the hospital were not blocked. Even so, the moment Ashikaga Yoshitoki announced the announcement, the world also knew what kind of crazy people in Kyoto were.
This great chaos was called the Eiroku Imperial Rebellion. Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga's party raided Ouchi on the day of the Shodan Great Court Meeting, imprisoned hundreds of officials in the palace without being able to escape, and forced Emperor Masachinchō to
After writing the edict of abdication, the young Prince Seihito ascended the throne. Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Nijo Haruyoshi stood by him the whole time, and Oda Nobunaga entered the palace with his sword arrogantly and proudly.
No less than the Taira Kiyomori clan in its heyday.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was crazy, at least that's what Ashikaga Yoshitoki thought. However, he himself did not know that he was crazy. Instead, after proposing the new emperor, he immediately promoted the meritorious minister Oda Nobunaga to the position of three counselors.
In just two months, Oda Nobunaga was promoted from the fifth position of the First Sergeant to the rank of Shouchochada, to the fourth position to the rank of Shoudaibi, and then to the third rank of counselor.
All this is just like a dream. Ashikaga Yoshiaki will not miss the chance to reward himself. Anyway, the emperor is the one who established the emperor himself. He simply wrote a promotion order for the emperor to sign. From the original three lords, he
He was promoted to the rank of two internal ministers, General Sakonoe, from a low-level minister to a high-ranking minister. It was like ascending to the sky in one step.
This promotion speed is not exaggerated. At first, he wanted to become a right minister in one go, like his unlucky brother Ashikaga Yoshiki who died. But he was rejected by Nijo Haruyang without hesitation. This Guan Bai still has some conscience.
.I know that the rules cannot be broken so unscrupulously, otherwise the minister will be comparable to an old farmer selling vegetables on the street, with no authority at all.
Rewarding Oda Nobunaga with three councilors was not enough. Ashikaga Yoshiaki added another title to Oda Nobunaga. He made Oda Nobunaga deputy general, and his son Oda Nobutada became five subordinate attendants, and enjoyed
As the third leader of the family, all the samurai of the Oda family were awarded the title. Shibata Katsuie was promoted to the fifth rank, under the title of Shoshu Ryo. Niwa Nagahide was promoted to the fifth rank, to the rank of Echizenmori. Even Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who contributed to the meritorious service, was rewarded.
He was promoted to the fifth rank of Shizukizenshu and changed his name to Hideyoshi Hashiba.
Akechi Mitsuhide also received a reward, and received a reward from the fifth-ranking Daisuke of the Ministry of Punishment. This was because Ashikaga Yoshiaki felt that this guy had betrayed him. Otherwise, according to this general's overjoyed nature, it would not be too much to give him to the fourth rank. Really
It can be said that one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and everyone is rewarded with official titles. Anyway, the imperial court is equivalent to that run by their family.
In this case, the new emperor becomes a complete puppet. At any rate, he still had some power before to write an edict and send a minister to beg for alms, or send the Qinghua family or the minister's family to negotiate with the daimyo lords in distant countries. You occupy
The manor used to be the royal palace of the Imperial family. The imperial court was kind and did not intend to take those manors back, but it had to give the imperial court some money for the imperial materials.
Now it's time to get better. The emperor is getting better and better, and he's going back more and more. He doesn't even have a chance to beg for alms. The shogunate directly cuts off the contacts between the emperor and his ministers. He asks Nijo Haruyo about matters in the inner court, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki in matters about the outer court.
The question came to Oda Nobunaga. The power inside and outside Kyoto was controlled by these three people.
…
On the 18th day of the first lunar month of the twelfth year of Eiroku, half a month after the Forbidden Incident ended, Oda Nobunaga gathered a force of 80,000 troops from all directions in the Kinai region to attack Sakamoto Castle. Asai, who was eager to take credit, Nagamasa and Asakura Yoshikage's 20,000 troops acted as the vanguard and launched an attack on Ika County. They were like hungry wolf dogs pouncing on their prey, greedy and cruel. When Nakajo Tokihide saw that the situation was not good, he immediately tightened his troops and burned down the castle. , the army returned to the relatively safe Takashima County and continued to capture the city.
Then the Oda army launched a large-scale attack. The naval forces led by Kuki Yoshitaka blocked the waterway and attacked Otsu Castle with a main force of 60,000. Tokihide Nakajo resisted desperately but could not stop the surging troops from all directions. Usayama Castle was in danger and Otsu Castle was in danger. , Sakamoto Castle was also in danger. While Nakajo Tokihide ordered Omi Kingdom to recruit military personnel, he sent out a series of letters asking for help and rushed to Kanto. In a blink of an eye, everyone in the entire Tokaido and even the world knew about it.
The deeds of Hattori Bouchou's desperate efforts to rescue the Emperor gradually became known. His three brothers, Hattori Yasumoto, Hattori Yasumasa, and Hattori Yasutoshi, as well as more than 120 ninjas under his command, spilled blood in Ouchi. In order to save the Emperor Masachikachi, a steady stream of people were killed. The Oda army slaughtered him with swords, and Hattori Baochang himself was seriously injured. He escorted the Emperor Masachika to escape into Sakamoto and fell into a coma.
Thanks to Michizan Konaose who happened to take refuge here, he personally diagnosed and treated Hattori Chief Warden and spent countless medicines and stones to save him. Although this injury did not take away his life, it destroyed half of his unique ninjutsu skills. This life It will never return to its original peak. I don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse.
On the 15th day of February, it was called the Flower Festival in the Song Dynasty, the Outing Festival in the Yuan Dynasty, the Dragon Head-Tied Up Festival in the Ming Dynasty, and the Hanami Festival in Japan. In ancient times, the Flower Festival corresponded to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and was also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is called the flower morning and the moon night. In Japan, the flower view and the moon view are also opposite, and the contrast between them is indescribable.
At this time of year, spring flowers are blooming and rivers are thawing. It is a good time for young men and women to go on an outing. The cherry blossoms blooming all over the mountains are such a beautiful sight. However, at this moment, Sakamoto Castle is heavily guarded as if it is facing a formidable enemy, and the shores of Lake Biwa have become the shogunate's army. In the enemy-occupied area, Sakamoto became the base camp of "rioters".
At the top of Sakamoto Castle, Nakajo Tokihide looked worriedly at the fierce naval battle on Lake Biwa. This was the third counterattack by the Oda navy in the past few days. The cunning Kuki Yoshitaka knew that Sakamoto's navy was very powerful, so he captured him outside Sakamoto Port. Dozens of civilian ships served as the vanguard, and hundreds of boats under his command hid behind to launch an attack on Sakamoto Port.
With excellent iron artillery fire support and the flexible command of Yodogawa Mitsunaga, he led dozens of small boats to easily bypass the civilian ships in front and raid the Oda Navy's main formation. The Oda Navy, which was not good at fighting inland rivers, was unable to parry. Just when the navy was about to pursue the victory, Kuki Yoshitaka cunningly abandoned dozens of Kohayas to block the road. He led the main fleet from the front to the rear, and fled back to the Uji River in a flash, forcing today's counterattack to be futile again. Return with success.
Matsui Masayuki said worriedly: "Far water cannot dissolve near fire. No matter how strong Kanto is, it cannot fly over thousands of rivers and mountains. It cannot produce magic weapons descending from the sky!"
"Kuki Yoshitaka is relying on his strong foundation. He is constantly testing the bottom line of Sakamoto's Navy. He is trying to squeeze out all the extra space in Sakamoto little by little, like squeezing soybean oil." Ninagawa shook his head and said, "Leave it to me. I don’t have much time to wait! I hope His Highness Kōkō can take action as soon as possible, Sakamoto won’t be able to hold on for too long.”
"It's a day that lasts for as long as we can, and it's the duty of our retainers to be loyal and loyal to the end of the day. In the words of the Ming Dynasty, this is called eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor." Nakajo Tokihide rubbed his slightly stiff cheeks and said,
He said: "What is the status of military service and husband's service?"
Odate Harutada took out a document and handed it over, saying: "After the townspeople learned about the great changes in Kyoto and the crisis in Sakamoto, their enthusiasm for signing up for the battle increased greatly. After multiple layers of screening, 10,000 strong men with military training were identified.
At the next level, there are 8,000 civilians who can be used as potential additional military personnel. There are sufficient provisions and ordnance preparations. The defense facilities in each city are complete. Usayama Castle, which is most at risk, will not have any problems for the time being."
Yanagisawa Yuanzheng pretended to be relaxed and said: "Excluding Ixiang County, which fell into the hands of the enemy, the total population of these three counties is 280,000, and the current military service is 30,000 people, and the military service is 8,000 people, which has almost reached the limit of the military service burden.
Every household has men who are responsible for military service, and as expected, the people's will can be determined by what they want. Your highness, Mr. Gongfang, has been working hard for twenty years and it has not been in vain. The people of Omi are always on our side."
Nakajo Tokihide leaned on the railing and looked at the beautiful scenery on Lake Biwa, and said: "It's still difficult! This article talks about the pioneer general Masa Isono who set up a trap in Takashima County to defeat Asai Nagamasa. In a few days, Asai Nagamasa reunited
Asakura Yoshikage once again launched an attack, but was defeated by Hondou's second assault on the Magara Naotaka team. They still persevered and made a comeback. It was really annoying that they couldn't defeat our army and stalked us. If the Oda family hadn't surrounded Usayama Castle, Bend
I will definitely deal with them well."
"The navy can't get out, and the infantry can't get out either! It's not an option to keep going like this. We have to break all the way to temporarily resolve the crisis!"
Odate Harutada's brows knitted together and said: "Let's use the navy first! The harassment and siege by the Oda navy has seriously affected Sakamoto's business operations. In order to avoid the spread of the war, a large number of businessmen have left Sakamoto. In recent days,
, the Oda family's actions became more and more excessive, arbitrarily capturing merchant ships and civilian ships approaching Sakamoto, which reduced the port's cargo transshipment by nearly 80%. If this situation continues, Sakamoto will become a dead city with no access to the inside and outside in less than half a month.
"
"The siege of Sakamoto really can't go on any longer." Nakajo Tokihide thought over and over again and decided: "Then let's give the Oda Navy a head-on blow and temporarily relieve the Oda Army's siege!"
In order to prepare for this water battle, Yodogawa Mitsunaga organized a fleet of naval forces early, and in the next few days, gradually reduced the number of ships to attack the Oda navy. Every time the Oda navy was defeated, the Oda navy did not pursue it, but turned around and returned.
Sakamoto Port was resting. Over the past few days, the number of Sakamoto Navy's attacks became less and less. Slowly, the Oda Navy was able to gain an absolute advantage in ships. The Sakamoto Navy began to choose an attitude of retreating to avoid the battle.
Kuuki Yoshitaka himself felt that he had mastered the actual situation of Sakamoto's navy, and gradually stopped using the tactic of capturing civilian ships as a vanguard. This kind of behavior that undermined commercial fairness had been strictly prohibited by Oda Nobunaga, who valued commerce. If it hadn't been for this siege of Sakamoto
The military operation was very important, and Oda Nobunaga would not make an exception and let Kuki Yoshitaka use such a tactic that was not worth the gain. While allowing him to use it, he also warned him that he should use it for as little as one day if possible.
This navy general who was crossing Ise Bay really didn't dare to use it too much. He immediately stopped using it when he noticed any changes in the movement of Sakamoto's navy. The usually cautious Kuuki Yoshitaka originally planned to observe for a while before taking action, but Ori was unable to make progress on the land route.
Tian Nobunaga urged him very urgently, forcing him to make a bold prediction that Sakamoto's navy had run out of fuel.
There is a certain reason for this judgment. These days, the size of the Sakamoto Navy's fleet is decreasing, and it is a large-scale reduction of small morning fleets similar to civilian ships. This can be judged as a possibility, that is, the scale of the Sakamoto Navy is not imagined.
It is so large, this time it is likely that in response to the attack of the Oda navy, a large number of civilian ships were temporarily recruited as Kohayashi.
As Sakamoto Port was blockaded for many days, businessmen with stagnant businesses fled to Obama on the other side, and more and more civilian ships escaped, resulting in a serious shortage of controllable commanders. Therefore, Sakamoto Navy dispatched fewer and fewer ships.
This is the best opportunity at the moment. Even if there is huge danger in this opportunity, he will still take a gamble. If he wins the bet and becomes famous, he will not suffer much loss if he loses the bet.
In short, in order to gain the first success and show his face in the shogunate, Kuuki Yoshitaka decided to give it a go. In his view, 80,000 troops surrounded Sakamoto from all directions. At this time, this famous Kinai city was already a turtle in the urn, even if the Oda navy he led was captured.
It doesn't matter if you lose one game. In these days, it's not just one or two setbacks. As a rule, as long as you are cautious and flexible, even if you lose again, it won't be too disastrous.
So early in the morning on February 28th, the Oda navy gathered more than 600 boats, including the flagship Anzha ship, which was in charge of command, nearly 500 early morning ships, and more than 80 Kansai ships to transport troops.
More than 20 return ships and tens of thousands of soldiers and sailors rushed towards Sakamoto Port in a mighty manner. The scale was comparable to that of the Western Kingdom Mori and the three best sailors of the Four Kingdoms.
The composition of the members of these more than 600 ships is relatively complex. Some of them are from Ise, Owari, Kii, and even the Minokawa Marine Corps. The larger part is a small group of Biwa Lake Marine Corps that broke away from the Sakamoto Navy.
A small group of Yodogawa sailors who did not get along well under Mitsunaga Yodogawa, a hodgepodge of Kizugawa sailors who had never paid much attention to the Yodogawa sailors, etc. gathered together.
Men, women, old and young all went into battle, with great momentum but insufficient quality. Hundreds of messy flags with different flags were fluttering in the wind. Almost every ship had its own name. This unevenness was absolutely dazzling. Jiuki Jialong didn't care about these people.
Anyway, as long as the prestige is big enough, it is enough. When the Sakamoto navy was dispatched at the most, it only had more than 300 ships. What's more, there are more than 100 ships guarding the port now, which is not a trivial matter that can be solved in minutes.
The mighty fleet attacked Sakamoto Port in a big way, with the colorful flags fluttering in the wind in a rather grand manner. Kuki Yoshitaka sat proudly on the top of the ship, pointing at the dozens of large and small ships hurriedly arrayed in front of the port, and laughed.
: "Is this the cry of the Sakamoto Navy, which shocked the Gyeonggi Province and once left the Awaji Navy helpless? It seems to be nothing, but it actually beat the Miyoshi family to the point where they were unable to fight back. As expected, there is no one in the Gyeonggi Navy.
Are you the one with the seed?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
