Chapter 1257 Survival of the raid

Oda Nobunaga knew that Takenaka Shigeharu was trying to excuse Hashiba Hideyoshi, she sneered.

"I don't care how arrogant Zahezhong is these days, I just know that this monkey has made me lose face."

Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was not going to reason, Hashiba Hideyoshi's face turned pale, but Takenaka Shigeharu answered calmly.

"Main Hall, the death of the southern barbarians may not be a bad thing for you.

Since the retreat of the Imperial Palace, the shogunate's promotion of Luozhong's legal system has stagnated.

Although the massacre of the Nanman missionaries this time was carried out by Yi Xiangzong's subordinates, Yi Xiangzong seldom worked in the capital, and they were by no means the masterminds.

Those who are afraid of the Nanban sect's forces entering the capital are actually various sects in Kyoto, especially Mt. Hiei.

Yixiangzong is just a knife in the hands of various factions in Kyoto, why don't you take this opportunity to put pressure on the shogunate?
A bloody tragedy occurred in the castle town of Kyoto, which seriously offended the majesty of the shogunate.The legal system in Luozhong cannot be delayed any longer, and progress must be made to strengthen public security in Kyoto.

Mount Hiei will not let the shogunate punish the murderers, because they need this knife to deter the Nanban sect who have been eager to enter Kyoto.

They will definitely hold back the shogunate and prevent Yi Xiangzong from being punished.

The shogunate cannot give you an explanation. You can use this as an exchange to let the shogunate pass the Luozhong legal system and grant the Oda family the legitimacy to reside in Kyoto.

The main hall and the Great Imperial Palace have left, and the shogunate's need for you is constantly declining.If Luozhong's legal system cannot be passed as soon as possible, the Oda family's army will have to leave.

The army has been away from the territory for too long, and the summer and autumn harvests are about to come. Most of the troops in Nanjinjiang need to be brought back to participate in the busy farming.

When most of the Oda family's troops leave, it is even more impossible for the shogunate to meet your request and pass the Luozhong legal system that suits your wishes.

The killing of the southern barbarians this time is actually an excellent opportunity for you. "

Oda Nobunaga listened to what Shigeharu Takenaka said, and his face looked a little better.

She asked Hashiba Hideyoshi.

"Will Shanshina Katsunagi be able to save him?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi said quickly.

"The doctor said, sure."

Oda Nobunaga nodded.

"If she dies, get out of here."

Hashiba Hideyoshi kowtowed to the ground.

"Hi!"

Oda Nobunaga looked at Shigeharu Takenaka and said.

"I'm going to kill Ise Zhenjiao."

Takenaka Shigeharu was taken aback, Ise Sadakyo was trying his best to plan for the Oda family to pass the Luozhong legal system, why did Oda Nobunaga want to kill her?
The current situation of Ise Zhenjiao is actually very bad. Ashikaga Yoshiaki has lost trust in her, and the shogunate group also betrayed the leader because of the Shiba family's revenge.

She had no choice but to hug the Oda family's thigh tightly. In fact, it was Oda Nobunaga's hand for the shogunate.

Takenaka Shigeharu hesitated.

"Hall, what are your thoughts?"

Oda Nobunaga said with strange eyes.

"Anyway, I want her dead."

Takenaka Shigeharu remained silent.

She doesn't care whether Ise Zhenjiao is dead or not, as long as Hashiba Hideyoshi will not be unlucky because of the death of the Nanman, that's fine.

---

Times are changing, people's hearts are changing, and everything is changing, including the relationship between people.

The shogunate is weak, and now a cat or a dog dares to step on the face.

There was another bleeding case in the castle town. Before Ashikaga Yoshiaki of the Nijo Imperial Palace had time to get angry, almost all the presiding officers of the temples in Kyoto sent their blessings to the new Ashikaga general.

The congratulatory invitation from Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei was particularly disgusting.What Buddha's light shines everywhere, full of Dharma joy, blessed by the Three Jewels, and blessed with both blessings and wisdom.

Master Jueshu didn't want any face, and complimented Ashikaga Yoshiaki as a god descended from heaven.All factions in Kyoto carried their sedan chairs together, seemingly wholeheartedly supporting the rule of the new general.

But who is Ashikaga Yoshiaki?She doesn't know much about the politics of the shogunate, but she has been a Taoist nun in Xingfu Temple for so many years, and she knows exactly what is going on in the minds of these colleagues.

The various sects seem to support her, but they are actually exerting pressure to make the murder in the castle town smaller, and the trivial matter disappear, and the death is for nothing.

Southern barbarian missionaries dead?Good to die!Southern barbarian believers suffered heavy casualties?Why didn't he die!

If Ashikaga Yoshiaki dared to pursue it, the sects would not be happy.Although samurai and sects seem to be in charge of their own affairs, belief is pervasive.

Miyoshi Changqing bore the name of being an enemy of Buddha, and he didn't recover from it until his death.Ashikaga Yoshiaki would not end up in that fate, but the bald men can do anything for their own benefit.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki was unwilling to offend these former colleagues, and when he was in trouble, the sky had already darkened.Under the night, the new Heavenly Punishment started again.

---

Inside a hut in the castle town of Kyoto, a ray of candlelight was flickering dimly, and more than a dozen Ji samurai were crowded in the room.

They seemed to have not been out for a long time, and the room was filled with the smell of food corruption and human excretion.

In order to reduce consumption, they either lie flat or lean against a corner.Their faces, which had not seen the sun for many days, were unhealthily pale, and their heads drooped, as if they were not asleep.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the door, and everyone quickly picked up the weapons around them and stared at Warrior Ji by the door.

Odate and Ueno glanced at each other, and the tap signal was correct.Ueno nodded to Ji Wushi who was by the door, and the man asked softly.

"who is it?"

"I, Sanniang, follow the rules and bring you some food."

This familiar voice relieved everyone's tense nerves.Warrior Ji at the door smiled, and pulled away the debris blocking the door, ready to open the door.

Daguan's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and he said in a low voice.

"and many more."

Everyone looked back at Daguan with puzzled eyes, including the warrior Ji who was about to open the door.

At this moment, the door was kicked open, and a figure came in, it was Sanniang who spoke just now.

Before everyone could recover, a few iron cannons came in, and there was a chaotic sound of bang bang bang.Warrior Ji by the door was the first to bear the brunt and was beaten into a sieve.

Immediately afterwards, several Ji warriors dressed in hoods broke in.

Odate and Ueno shouted at the same time.

"Block them!"

---

Outside the door, Isamu Kondo frowned as he watched the commando team being knocked out.

The people inside carried a large amount of ordnance, which was the weapon and equipment used to ambush Takata Yukino that night, and it was difficult to deal with.

I don't know which link went wrong, and the coordinator who was threatened to call the door made them see that something was wrong, and the raid failed.

Isamu Kondo turned his head and said to Toshizo Hijikata.

"Strong attack is not enough, let's light the fire."

Toshizo Hijikata nodded and turned to leave, Isamu Kondo said politely to Morishou Dohashi.

"Hime Dohashi, I'm begging you. You can't let anyone go, life or death."

Dohashi Mori nodded emphatically, and made a few gestures behind him, and the Dohashi people who had already surrounded the house visibly tightened their circle.

Hijikata Toshizo walked to the front softly and gestured to the Mibu wolves holding torches. They nodded and stretched out the torches in their hands.

The flames were blazing, and it turned out that straw had been piled up around the house, and lamp oil had been poured on it.

Most of the buildings in Kyoto are made of wood. These Mibu wolves dared to set fire to the houses, which is really audacious.If the fire is out of control, God knows where it will end.

Isamu Kondo didn't want to use this trick at first, but the room was full of elite Ji warriors, and they held a large number of ordnance, so they couldn't get in by force, so they could only attack with fire.

She wasn't crazy, she just cleaned up the surrounding environment, lit a few isolated piles of straw, and made the illusion of a fire attack, but didn't really set fire to the house.

There is nothing around the straw, and it will not expand the range when it is burned out.She also specially sent someone to watch with a bucket, ready to extinguish the embers at any time to prevent the ashes from resurging.

But Odate Ueno and others who were trapped in the house did not know it. Seeing the flames and smoke outside, they really thought that Mibu Wolf was setting fire to the house, and their eyes turned red immediately.

Ueno yelled.

"We rushed out to fight them!"

At this time, Daguan was also upset, she nodded and said.

"Everyone rush separately, count as many as you can walk."

Several Ji warriors asked everyone to help, quickly put on the tunic, carried the door panel and rushed to the front, and the others followed behind.

The Tuqiao Shouzhong outside is not a kind person, and he is not prepared to fight to the death with these trapped beasts.

A round of iron cannons from Tuqiao blasted directly at the crowd rushing out, and then pointed their spears at them to prevent people from approaching, and changed to another iron cannon to continue bombing.

These pirates are mercenaries who have experienced many battles, and they have taken the initiative.The shogunate warriors who rushed out were all living targets. After carrying only two rounds of iron cannons, their morale lost and they scattered for their lives.

Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Souji, who were waiting for an opportunity, chased after them with their swordsmen, and slashed wildly at the back of the shogunate warriors who had no fighting spirit, cutting down most of them in an instant.

Ueno became wild, and seeing Isamu Kondo standing on the side directing, he knew she was a character, thinking of pulling her back, he rushed over.

Isamu Kondo raised his eyebrows with excitement.

Facing Ueno who was rushing towards him with a knife in both hands, she drew out the knife and took a mid-section pose.Then, he took a step with his right foot, raised his sword high and slammed it fiercely at Shangye.

Ueno subconsciously blocked it with a horizontal knife, the spine of the knife was hit hard by a huge force, and a hole broke out, and the tiger's mouth became sore that he could hardly hold the handle of the knife.

Before she could recover, Isamu Kondo slammed the knife down again. With a muffled grunt, the knife dropped from her hand.

Isamu Kondo kicked her in the jaw, knocking her unconscious.Then he looked at his blade and shook his head.In order to catch a living, a good knife was broken.

On the other side, seeing that he couldn't get away, Daguan turned his head to look at Souji Okita who was chasing him, and drew out his sword, ready to fight in the corner.

Seeing her turn around, Mr. Okita quickly approached her with small steps, stabbing Odate's throat, chest, and below the sternum three times with the knife in his hands.

Tai Kwun only felt a blur in front of his eyes, but he had no time to react in shock, so he fell to the ground and died.

Hijikata Suisan came up, turned Odate's body over, recognized it by the light of the fire, and turned around and said helplessly to Mr. Okita.

"This is the leading mansion, and we still hope to capture her alive and find out the mastermind who ambushed Mrs. Takada Yukino.

You are refreshing, Ping Qingyan's three thrusts directly ended her. "

Okita Souji was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and coughed, but didn't speak.

At this time, Kondo Yong came over and said.

"It's okay, Ueno was caught."

She looked around and saw that the fleeing shogun Ji warriors were all robbed and killed, she nodded in satisfaction and shouted.

"Extinguish all fires! Drain the embers with water, and don't start a fire!"

"Hi!"

Dohashi Mamoru came forward and bowed to Isamu Kondo.

"Hime Kondo, it's done."

Isamu Kondo bowed back and said.

"Dohashi Hime has worked hard. Please check the balance of the employment at Sakai Port. The dry food for the road has been prepared in the yard where you live."

Dohashi Mori nodded emphatically and said.

"To trouble you, we will leave Kyoto before dawn, thank you very much."

The two sides bowed and said goodbye hypocritically, and Dohashi Mamoru led the people and disappeared into the night.

The corners of Hijikata Suisan's eyes twitched, watching Dohashi Shoushige leave, feeling resentful that the other party put him in the same place.

Isamu Kondo patted her on the shoulder and said.

"Take Ueno back first, and pry her mouth open as soon as possible.

I want to know, who supplied them with armaments?Who is the one who instigated them behind the scenes to ambush Mrs. Takada Yukino? "

Hijikata Toshisan's face returned to calm, but his eyes were full of fierceness.

"Don't worry, I'll take her back right away and give you an answer tomorrow morning."

Isamu Kondo nodded.

"Thanks a lot."

The Mibu wolf was finishing up, and Ise Zhenxing looked at all this tremblingly in the distance, but it was still a step late.

Her complexion was livid, she turned around and left quickly, rushing back to report to Ise Zhenjiao.

Tofukuji Temple.

Oda Nobunaga hadn't rested at this time, but had a discussion with Niwa Nagahide who had just arrived from Minami Omi.

Niwa Chohide frowned.

"Most of the Nanjinjiang samurai surrendered, but Liujiao's mother and daughter are entrenched in Ishibe Castle, which is a bit troublesome.

The local Wu family in that area thought of the Liujiao family's grace and strength for many years, and did not have the will to help our army defeat Liujiao's mother and daughter.

Our army is not familiar with the local geography, and it is temporarily inconvenient to organize a storm. "

Oda Nobunaga nodded.

She sat and watched the shogunate infighting at Tofuku Temple, and on the other hand, she was also waiting for news from Minami Omi.

The Liujiao family comes from the famous Sasaki family, and has been operating in Omi for thousands of years. It is not easy to completely wipe out her family.

Ishibe Castle is located in Koka County, surrounded by mountains and hills, with a complex geography.With the help of local mountain people, Liujiao and her daughter can survive for a while.

Oda Nobunaga asked.

"How is Maeda Toshiie doing?"

Niwa Chohide sighed slightly and said.

"It's my duty. It's just that the heir of the Todo family, Todo Takatora, was summoned by the Odai to go to Duomensan Castle."

Regarding the death of Fujido Toraka, Niwa Nagahide is very clear that this is the cooperation between Oda Nobunaga and Asai Nagamasa to remove the nail of Fujido collar.

Fujido Torataka was the lieutenant general of the Shiba family in the coalition army, and his death was unknown.It is admirable that Maeda Toshiie can still keep his mind steady, neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Niwa Chohide couldn't bear it because of his personal friendship with Maeda Toshiie.But she didn't dare to interfere with Oda Nobunaga's important event, so she could only sigh.

she continued.

"Most of the land in the south near the river belongs to my family, and the season is approaching the busy farming season, so there are many discussions in the army.

In particular, the samurai families in North Ise and West Mino are complaining and homesick. "

Oda Nobunaga nodded, just about to say something, outside the door Banner came to report, Ise Sadao asked to see.

Oda Nobunaga couldn't help frowning, what did this old guy come to Tofuku Temple overnight?
She glanced at Niwa Nagahide at the side, and said.

"Let's meet together."
