Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 1015 Enemies 1
On the morning of June 13, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), Honnoji Temple, Kyoto.
As soon as the news of Oda Nobunaga's murder of Amakihei came out, it caused a violent shock in the world. Amakihei's reputation as a benevolent person has long been known to the world, but Oda Nobunaga assassinated his own ministers in such a brutal way, which is really a shame.
Disgraceful, his reputation and prestige in the world fell to the bottom for a while. If it were normal times, I am afraid that a swarm of bees would have risen at this moment, and the world would be in chaos. However, Oda Nobunaga had gathered all the daimyo and their troops in the world.
Kinki was placed under the surveillance of the 200,000 troops directly under the control of the Oda family. No matter how sad their hearts were, these daimyo did not dare to say no even if they were in a foreign country.
Oda Nobunaga's actions also caused unprecedented confusion and fear in the Oda family. Many retainers linked the murder of Amakihei to Oda Nobunaga's pursuit of Lin Xiuzhen and Sakuma Nobumori, and they all shuddered.
She was worried that Oda Nobunaga was engaged in a purge of "Birds of the Birds". However, Lin Xiuzhen, who noticed this trend, immediately ordered the ninja to block all internal discussions, which temporarily stabilized the situation. However, the false harmony in the Oda family still seemed to be walking in the shadows.
The acrobats on the tightrope were just as shaky as the acrobats. The Amaki family's blatant rebellion against the Oda family gave the Oda family an opportunity to set up a target. Oda Nobunaga asked the whole family to crusade against the ninjas who killed the master. Hatamoto's Yuqiu family ended the conflict.
It shifted to the war. Although everyone in the Oda family knew all this well-how could you, Oda Nobunaga, have done these things if you didn't murder Ame Qiupei-but they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out.
People who dare to stand out have no choice but to hide all resentment and fear in their hearts and honestly embark on the journey to conquer Maple Leaf Mountain City.
Under the orders of Oda Nobunaga, the Sanyodo Army, the Sanindo Army, and the Nankaido Army that were originally confronting the Maori family on the Kansai front had all given up on the Maori strategy, and instead turned to Kinki to attack the Uaki family.
However, unlike Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was dawdling, Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki abandoned their troops and rushed to Kyoto with their guards on horseback. They just wanted to ask Oda Nobunaga before the official war broke out. They traveled day and night.
Their journey was not in vain, they finally arrived at Honnoji Temple where Oda Nobunaga was staying, and rushed in with thick black circles under their eyes.
"Lord?" Ikeda Hengxing almost ignored the etiquette and ran to Oda Nobunaga who was blowing the wind in the corridor. He yelled and asked, "What happened to Momiji? You really killed him.
Red leaves?”
"Didn't you read the evidence that Kuroda Takataka presented?" Oda Nobunaga sneered, turned around and looked at Ikeda Tsuneaki with a grin, "Why don't I explain it to you again? Isn't that written clearly?
is that clear?"
Oda Nobunaga's words ruthlessly shattered the unrealistic illusions in the minds of Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki - maybe everything was a misunderstanding? Maybe Oda Nobunaga was framed? But they themselves also knew,
Such a rational ending only exists in fantasy.
"Why?" Ikeda Hengxing, who had been stunned for a long time, finally spat out a few words mechanically.
"Are you questioning me?" Oda Nobunaga lowered his eyebrows and shouted unceremoniously at Ikeda Hengxing, "Is this the way you talk to my lord?"
"That's right! My lord! What are you doing!" Oda Nobunaga's words completely ignited the anger in Ikeda Hengxing's heart, causing her to yell regardless. I don't know if she was yelling at Oda Nobunaga or yelling at cowardice.
I am in a dilemma.
Oda Nobunaga stepped forward and slapped Ikeda Hengxing hard, then added a kick to Ikeda Hengxing's stomach and kicked him back several steps, but Ikeda Hengxing
Still yelling: "Why on earth, my lord? Hongye is loyal to you! Why do you want to harm Hongye?"
"Loyal? Then why did he insist on opposing Yu's rule in the Zheng Dynasty? He was also doing some little tricks behind his back, trying to cause trouble for Yu, and he confronted Yu again and again... he was... the guy who was holding Yu back.
, I don’t care whether he is loyal or not, just kill him! I can even kill my own brother, but I will still worry about a Du who is a traitor.
Is anyone coming?"
Oda Nobunaga's words completely stunned Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki. Although they had vaguely understood Oda Nobunaga's character for a long time, when all this was nakedly revealed in front of them, the two of them were still a little embarrassed.
Accept it - in other words, if they are the ones holding back the company in the future, they will be eliminated by Oda Nobunaga without hesitation.
"What's wrong? You two? If you are not satisfied, you can rebel together! If you want to avenge Yuqiu Hongye, go ahead!" Oda Nobunaga glanced at the expressions of Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki, and then said disdainfully
He smiled and said, "Go? Follow that beast of the Sen family and go to the Yuqiu family instead. I don't mind killing you all! The Sen family members have been thrown into the dungeon. Are your family members interested in going there to accompany them?
Wait? Don’t you have anything to say? If not, get out of here! Everyone is here to bother me about this matter. Migoro was just kicked out by Yu and you guys are here again!"
·
While Oda Nobunaga was reprimanding Ikeda Tsuneki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki, tensions were already rising outside Maple Leaf Mountain Castle. The troops directly under the Oda family, the troops of the major legions of the Oda family, and the troops of the vast Eastern Kingdom daimyos were slowly surrounding Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.
The four gates completely cut off Maple Leaf Mountain City from the outside world.
At this time, in Maple Leaf Mountain City, soldiers from the 7th Squadron of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Wing of the North City Guards were making final preparations for going into battle under the city wall. The veterans were checking whether the volunteers were wearing the equipment correctly and helping them tighten it.
The rope that ties the armor together, Yosaburo is one of them.
Generations of Yosaburo's family have been honest farmers. Not to mention killing people in battle, they would only run away when they saw a robber. His father, Wenzhu, although he was a literate teacher, was frighteningly cowardly and was well-known in the neighborhood.
He was a coward. But this time, his father, who had always been timid and fearful in the past, took the three brothers to join the army without hesitation. His mother and sister-in-law did not have any objections. They just packed their gear for the battle. For no other reason.
Just to avenge His Highness Hongye.
Yosaburo can still remember what happened when he was four years old - that year, Iimoriyama Castle was attacked by Matsushita Nagahide. He set fire to Iimoriyama Castle and the castle town, and arrested people wantonly. Yosaburo and his family finally escaped and almost abandoned them.
They took away most of their family's savings and hid in a distant village. However, after the long-awaited return of the Sanhao Army for reinforcements, they encountered another random arrest - because the Sanhao family was preparing to abandon the city and leave. This time,
Yosaburo and his family failed to escape. His grandparents wanted to protect the family's winter rations, but they were directly hacked to death by the rebels, and his mother also had one of her legs broken. At that time, his father Wenzhu and his three children
Hiding behind the stove, he watched helplessly as his grandparents were killed, but he did not dare to say a word and just cried silently. At that time, Yosaburo felt that his father was the most useless man in the world. From then on,
He has always looked down upon his father and was unwilling to even give him basic respect.
The Miyoshi Army left, and the harsh winter came again. Living in a shabby house that was completely destroyed by the fire, they were hungry and cold and the Saburo family was about to be unable to survive. Two more waves of robbers even came to the house, and the remaining
All the food rations were taken away - even so, Wenzhu didn't dare to resist even a little. On the third day of the family's food shortage, Yosaburo was already dizzy with hunger, and he vaguely seemed to hear the neighbor's request for food. However,
I don't know why, Yosaburo was not cooked later, maybe it was because his cowardly father finally insisted for once.
On the fourth day, Momiji Highness came. Yosaburo still remembered how happy he felt when he ate a bowl of hot porridge for the first time after being hungry for so many days. It was simply the most wonderful thing in the world. He also remembered that countless
The soldiers with paper red leaves on their heads helped them repair their houses for the winter and distributed food, medicine and daily necessities to them. Thanks to His Highness Red Leaves, the Saburo family survived, and countless families in Iimoriyama City also survived.
Come down. Yosaburo even remembered that he had seen His Highness Hongye who came to visit the hungry people - but his family members said that he must have remembered it wrong - but Yosaburo just felt that he had seen it, so he returned
The family vividly described the appearance of Momiji-sama. Yosaburo had been looking forward to the day when he could see Momiji-sama again and confirm that his appearance was different from what he remembered, so that he could prove to his family that what he said when he was a child was not true.
Fake.
But he couldn't wait for that day. His Highness Hongye died. Even though almost everyone in the more than 100,000 households in Maple Leaf Mountain City offered his longevity tablet, he still died. He was killed by that bastard named Oda Nobunaga.
.
On the day when the truth spread throughout the city, Yosaburo and his two brothers were so angry that they wanted to bite their teeth into pieces. They did not hesitate to respond to the call of the eldest son of His Highness Hongye and join the citizen volunteer army to avenge His Highness Hongye.
But they were instinctively worried - worried about their father - with Bunsuke's character, he would definitely stop them from going to war. His father was so cowardly that he didn't dare to fight back even if his grandparents died in front of him.
But to the surprise of the three brothers, what Wenzhu brought back from the street was not the fish and meat he bought at the market, but four conscription confirmation forms. The literate father had already filled it out for him at the conscription office.
And the information about his three sons, he wants to take his sons to join the army.
Yosaburo couldn't understand why a timid father like him was so brave this time. Just when he was thinking wildly, an alarm horn suddenly sounded at the top of the city. Yosaburo was startled and turned back immediately
Suddenly, when he thought about facing a battlefield, his calves began to tremble.
"Put this red leaf on your head." The commander of their squadron, Mitsui Junji, an ordinary soldier of Nirvana Bei, a rough and bearded man, gestured to his team members to insert the paper red leaf distributed before.
"This is the tradition of our Hongye Army. It is a paper red leaf given by His Highness Hongye. Wearing this red leaf is an oath to His Highness Hongye that you are willing to fight for him and die for him."
"Again, you volunteers will be mainly responsible for throwing rolling stones, tearing eyes, pouring hot oil, and rescuing the wounded. Let us soldiers fight with knives first. After we are all dead, you can come in!
"Mitsui Junji once again emphasized to his team members, and at the same time he did not forget to make a joke to lighten the atmosphere, "Don't be scared to vomit when you go to the battlefield. If you want to vomit, vomit on the enemy's face, don't vomit on the enemy's face.
On the wall!”
After a burst of laughter, the Seventh Squadron followed Mitsui Junji's footsteps and walked up to the city. They were in the same squadron with Saburo and his father and two brothers. His second brother was still fighting with Saburo's brother when he passed him in formation.
He patted his shoulder and whispered, "Sanlang, don't embarrass our family then!"
"Don't worry! Second brother!" Although his calves were still trembling, Yosaburo still raised his chest and tightened his abdomen, and saluted Yojiro in the posture he had just learned. At the same time, he deliberately turned his head away from his father,
This made Wenzhu, who wanted to give him a few words of advice, embarrassed, so he could only sigh.
However, all this ease and confidence were severely impacted the moment he walked to the city with Saburo. This was the first time he walked onto the 10-meter-high city wall of Maple Leaf Mountain City, with the broad field of vision and endless views.
The Order of Heaven and Earth and Saburo were shocked. Before he could be intoxicated by this magnificent sight, he was almost stunned in place - almost everything that could be seen with the eyes was densely covered with teeth and claws.
The enemy's colorful flags spread to the end of the field of vision, and not even a speck of land could be seen. The entire land was like a huge white paper, filled with various colors by children, and every ink dot was a waiting person.
Soldier. He looked hard, looked hard, but no matter what, he couldn't see the edge or the whole thing.
Four hundred thousand troops... Yosaburo had no idea about this, just like he had no idea about the size of Maple Leaf Mountain City. The impact he saw with his own eyes almost made him unable to control his body, and he just stood there motionless. He wanted to describe what he saw before him
The scene, but found that his poor vocabulary did not support it at all. Only now did he finally understand that a huge crowd was not an exaggeration, but the most appropriate description made by someone who had seen it all.
