As Miyoshi Nagakei, Hosokawa Sumimoto and other senior officials reacted, the samurai standing beside them pulled out their swords one by one and stood in front of these senior officials. At the same time, several fire blunderbuss were aimed at the body of the Master.
shape.
In the smoke filled the air, Master Zhengru's figure avoided the blazing guns like a ghost. At the same time, the string of Buddhist beads in his hand suddenly shot out like a goddess scattering flowers.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so warriors who rushed towards Master Zheng Ru had blood flying between their brows, and their heads were pierced by beads one after another.
Plop, plop, as the samurai lay dead on the spot one by one, Miyoshi Nagakei, Hosokawa Sumimoto and others turned extremely pale.
Fortunately, Miyoshi Chokei and Hosokawa Sumimoto are not that kind of complete waste. Seeing the above-mentioned man approaching and killing, they know very well that at this time, they may still have a chance to survive if they try hard to win. If they really give up, then
There is really only one way to die.
"Everyone fought with him!"
It's a pity that almost most of the senior officials of the Miyoshi family and the Hosokawa family have been turned into useless people in their prosperous life, and there are only a few people who are really capable of holding a sword and a gun.
Although Master Zheng Ru said that he had no chance of winning against Chu Yi, he was invincible when facing Hosokawa Sumitomo and others.
In just a blink of an eye, Hosokawa Sumimoto and Miyoshi Nagakei had their acupuncture points sealed and thrown aside by the Master. As for the others, they were all beheaded by the Master.
On the city wall, with Hosokawa Sumitomo, Miyoshi Nagakei and others dying and being captured, even if the two families had united before, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in this city.
If it weren't for the fact that the top management was almost completely defeated, it would be really difficult to break through this city defended by tens of thousands of people.
The Master looked at the chaotic scene around him and let out a loud roar. He held Hosokawa Sumimoto and Miyoshi Chokei in his hands and shouted: "Everyone put down their weapons and surrender without killing!"
There are naturally a group of people who are loyal to the Miyoshi family and the Hosokawa family among the soldiers of the two families. Although there are not many people, there are still hundreds of them among tens of thousands of people.
These hundreds of die-hard loyalists were not able to gather together, so even though these people shouted at their companions, they were unable to change the overall situation.
Especially when under the city wall, at a glance, the Ming soldiers and horses were so dark that it was almost invisible and they set up siege ladders one after another on the city wall. They were already in chaos because the high-level officials were all captured.
The situation became even more chaotic.
When a famous Ming soldier climbed up the city wall along the siege ladder with weak resistance, it was like the last straw that broke the balance. Large areas of Japanese soldiers began to drop their weapons and choose
surrender.
Any soldiers who refused to lay down their weapons were shot dead on the spot by Ming soldiers. It only took half an hour for the entire Xishan City to fall completely.
Chang Kui, Sun Li, and Zhao Tong watched with extremely calm expressions on their faces as they watched groups of surrendered soldiers being bundled into a bunch and escorted out of the city.
They had all seen situations like this more than once, and everyone knew very well about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers.
As long as most of the elite warriors among the Japanese soldiers are killed, the entire team will collapse at once. No matter how many people there are, it will only look more powerful.
One day later, when Chu Yi led a mighty army and entered Xishan City, the news that the Shejin Kingdom was destroyed also spread.
In fact, when the Ming Dynasty entered Settsu Kingdom, several other countries among the ten Kinki Kingdoms were also paying attention to every move of the Ming Dynasty.
For this reason, some countries among the Ten Kinki Kingdoms even secretly discussed and invited the above-mentioned person, Fuma Kotaro, to assassinate Chu Yi, trying to change the overall situation in this way.
It's a pity that neither Feng Mo Kotaro nor Master Zheng Ru is Chu Yi's opponent, and even Master Zheng Ru chose to surrender.
Nowadays, Settsu Kingdom has been destroyed. Although it is a bit shocking, it is also a logical thing.
The daimyo of Yamashiro Country, Kawachi Country, Iga Country and other countries are gathering together at this moment.
This is a canyon. In this canyon, there is a series of dark military camps. You can calculate at a glance that there are probably no more than tens of thousands of troops in this military camp.
This is the coalition composed of several other countries among the Ten Kingdoms of Kinki. Because the coalition is composed of various countries, even if they are facing the threat of annihilation by the Great Tomb Soldiers, these big names are still at odds with each other and fighting for power.
However, these famous people also know one thing in their hearts, that is, if they cannot unite as one, no matter how many people they gather, they may not be able to match the Ming Dynasty.
However, there were many conflicts among everyone, and there were always objections to any one person serving as the leader of the coalition. In the end, the daimyo chose Ashikaga Yoshiue, the contemporary shogunate, as the leader of the coalition.
Of course, the morale of the Ashikaga family's shogunate has long since declined, otherwise it would not be possible for the strange scene of dozens of large and small countries to appear in a mere Japanese land.
I am afraid that the orders of the shogunate of Ashikaga Yoshiue could not leave Kyoto. Maybe he himself did not know that he had inexplicably become the leader of the Kinki coalition forces.
The daimyo of Iga country, the daimyo of Yamashiro country and several other daimyo were looking at the battle report that had just been sent with solemn expressions.
The battle report records in detail how Nishiyama Castle was breached. The most eye-catching thing is that the above-mentioned person surrendered to the enemy and even personally captured Hosokawa Sumimoto, Miyoshi Nagakei and others.
As a well-known eminent monk of the generation in Japan, the Master is like a god, but now he has chosen to surrender to the enemy. You can imagine what kind of impact it will have.
You must know that among the several big names present, several are believers of Master Zheng Ru. The surrender of Master Zheng Ru to the enemy made these big names change their expressions. They even couldn't help but feel discouraged and were ready to withdraw from the coalition.
.
Fortunately, the guardian of Iga Kingdom, Duke Fujiwara, denounced them in anger, awakened several fearful daimyo, and finally kept the coalition from collapsing.
Duke Fujiwara has great prestige among several daimyo. Although it is said that he was unable to become the leader of the coalition due to conflicts with each other, with Haruka respecting Ashikaga Yoshie as the leader, the right to speak of the coalition is actually vaguely controlled by Duke Fujiwara.
In the hands of the rule.
Several daimyo were a little confused, their eyes fell on Fujiwara Kiminori, and one daimyo looked at Fujiwara Kimonori and said: "Fujiwara-kun, you have also seen that even a god-like figure like Mr.
We have all surrendered to the Ming army, can we really withstand the Ming army?"
The armies and horses of the Ming Dynasty destroyed more than a dozen countries, large and small, wherever they passed. It can be said that there was a thunderous force. No country could withstand the charge of the armies and horses of the Ming Dynasty. Add to this the impact of the surrender of the above people to the enemy, and the confidence of these famous names was completely wiped out.
Nothing more than normal.
Fujiwara Kimiko narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Don't forget, everyone, even if we choose to surrender, I'm afraid our end will not be much better. Besides, the Ming Dynasty is not invincible. I
Blessed by the Japanese spirit of freedom, as long as everyone unites, we may not be able to drive these hateful Ming people out of our land of Japan..."
After Mr. Fujiwara said this, everyone's morale finally improved slightly. Even though they knew that Mr. Fujiwara's words were very controversial, everyone still chose to grit their teeth and fight. Otherwise, they would be captured without mercy.
They really don't want to.
Mr. Fujiwara coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, since the Master has proved that Lord Feng Demon's assassination failed, then our original plan of taking advantage of the chaos to attack has to be changed."
A daimyo looked at Fujiwara Kimonori and said, "Fujiwara-kun, do you have any good strategies that can turn the situation around?"
Fujiwara Gongze narrowed his eyes and said: "We have the right time, the right place, the right people, and we all have it. As long as we lead a large army to ambush the Ming soldiers and horses, we may be able to severely damage the Ming army."
While talking, Fujiwara Kimonori and others discussed secretly and finally agreed on what to do next.
It only took two days for the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses to enter Nishiyama Castle and completely occupy Nishiyama Castle. All the dignitaries in the city were captured. The Miyoshi family and the Hosokawa family, as the most noble families in Settsu country, were rich in wealth.
Nature is incredibly amazing.
In particular, the Hosokawa family occupied Settsu Province and had a close relationship with merchants of the Ming Dynasty, almost occupying most of the say in the commercial trade between Kinki and the Ming Dynasty.
It is conceivable how much profit the Hosokawa family could reap if they took the initiative in Ming Dynasty's trade. It is precisely because of the continuous support from business interests that the Hosokawa family gradually lost their fighting spirit, and generations of clan members became corrupted.
After that, the Miyoshi family gradually replaced the Hosokawa family.
However, even though the Hosokawa family has declined now, the heritage still exists, or in other words, the huge wealth accumulated by the Hosokawa family over the years has been well preserved.
Although the Hosokawa family is said to be in a state of sunset, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Compared with the increasingly prosperous Miyoshi clan, the Hosokawa family is more powerful on the wealth accumulated over the years. As for the strength of the family,
There is a huge gap in talent.
Of course, when Nishiyama Castle is captured, neither the wealth of the Hosokawa family nor the talent of the Miyoshi family means anything at all.
When the Hosokawa family's underground treasure trove was dug out, it caused a huge sensation. Even Chu Yi was present in person.
The gold, silver and various jewelry and jades unearthed from the Hosokawa family's treasury are worth more than three million taels.
You must know that among the many countries, large and small, that Chu Yi and the others destroyed, the wealth of most daimyo families was only a few hundred thousand taels, while the Hosokawa family was several times more than those of these large and small countries.
The Hosokawa family is worthy of being the family that monopolizes most of the interests of the Kinki Ten Kingdoms and the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, they have accumulated a lot of wealth. It is a pity that this wealth has now fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Among the dozens of countries in Japan, I am afraid that only a few countries such as Iwami Country and Settsu Country can truly be called wealthy.
When nearly five million gold, silver and jewels were piled together, even the soldiers responsible for guarding could not help but look at them with side eyes.
Among the five million gold and silver jewelry, the Hosokawa family almost accounted for more than three million taels, and the Miyoshi family also found hundreds of thousands of taels. Together with some dignitaries of Settsu Kingdom, they were all
The search yielded huge wealth that made all the generals and even Chu Yi pay attention.
A large ship slowly carried millions of taels of wealth and gradually disappeared from the port under the escort of several ships and headed straight for the Ming Dynasty.
Kyoto is the political and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty. Although the power of the shogunate has fallen by the wayside, for hundreds of thousands of years, Kyoto has been recognized as the residence of the emperor in Japan.
.
And Chu Yi also headed straight for Kyoto. Once Kyoto is occupied, it will definitely bring a huge blow to the Japanese countries.
Because the soldiers and horses in the country were taken away, the Kingdom of Hanoi fell completely with little resistance. After passing the Kingdom of Hanoi and moving forward, you will find Kyoto.
For the Japanese daimyo, traveling from the local area to Kyoto, also known as Shangluo, was a way to promote their own military power.
But for Chu Yi, going to Kyoto is also a means to promote the Ming Dynasty's military power. The two purposes are the same, but the results are different.
Once the local lords of Japan succeed in ascending the throne, there will be great hope to unify Japan, establish a new shogunate, and enter a relatively peaceful period.
If Chu Yi successfully led his army to Luo and entered Kyoto, although Japan would not dare to say that it would be destroyed, it would probably suffer a serious loss of vitality and sink from then on, with no hope of unification.
This is an unnamed canyon. The canyon is extremely steep. The narrowest point can only accommodate a carriage. It can be said to be extremely dangerous.
However, this is the shortest road to Kyoto, which can save almost two or three days.
Chang Kui, who was named a pioneer, rode a tall horse and frowned at the extremely dangerous canyon in front of him. Although Chang Kui looked like he had no scheming, he also studied the art of war, so when he saw the canyon
During the time of A De, Chang Kui decisively ordered the army to stop no matter how proud he was.
After giving the order for the vanguard army to be stationed on the spot, Chang Kui personally ordered the personal guards, and then led a dozen sentinels and rode straight towards the canyon on fast horses.
Originally, surveying the terrain and determining whether there was an ambush around the canyon could be left to experienced sentries.
However, Chang Kui took action personally and did not dare to be careless. After all, if an enemy army was ambushed near the canyon, it would be a fatal threat to the vanguard army.
