different warring states of japan

The incident involving the daughter of the samurai family in Kamikaze once again ignited the war between the Shiba and Oda families. Ashikaga was able to survive and watch the Shiba and Oda merger.

But the result surprised Ashikaga. The Shiba and Oda families stopped fighting. Instead of losing both sides, they reached the Fushimi Castle Agreement and joined forces to conquer the world.

To this day, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was deceived into going to the West to join Maori, and Oda Nobunaga also quit Kyoto and lived in Azuchi Castle.

The three parties in Kyoto named Ashikaga Hui, the shogunate, and the powerful local shogunate are jointly controlled by the samurai family of the shogunate, which is actually the forbidden area of ​​​​the Shiba family.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki has long since cut off the salary of the Ashikaga Hui clan. Now the Ashikaga clan eats food prepared by the Shiba family and is treated the same as the Shiba righteous soldiers. They are dogs raised by the Shiba family.

On the side of the shogunate, the deacon of the self-governing office, Ise Sadakyō, changed his master after being beheaded by Oda Nobunaga. Ninagawa, the acting official of the leader of the political office, had his own daughters sent to the Doxinzhong, and they had long been the eagle dogs of Yoshigan Ishiba.

The boss of the powerful local faction in the shogunate is Shiba Yoshigan himself. The second eldest son, Hosokawa Fujitaka of the Izumi Hosokawa family, has already slept with Yoshigan and had a baby. They are completely one of their own.

Although Hatakeyama Takamasa was named the leader of the shogunate, the shogunate was so bad that the leader ignored him, so naturally he could only lick his face and hang out with the Shiba family.

Therefore, the current controllers of Kyoto are the Shiba family, especially Akechi Mitsuhide, who controls the Fushimi Castle system. She has a great influence on Kyoto.

Akechi Mitsuhide used a trick to trick Oda Nobunaga into Kyoto, and then led his troops to Luo. Thirteen thousand troops blocked the entrance to Kyoto and outside.

Oda Nobunaga only had a hundred followers at Honnoji Temple, and there was no way he could be the opponent of Akechi Mitsuhide's tens of thousands. If he wanted to leave, Oda Nobunaga could only rely on the power of the Buddhist sect.

The Wa tribe originated from the Nara Basin of Yamato. At that time, there were other ethnic civilizations in the island country, and the Wa tribe was not strong.

The He clan learned from the Celestial Dynasty, and their leaders introduced the laws of the Tang Dynasty and reformed their own imperial court system. One of the characteristics was their worship of Buddhism.

The Buddhism of thousands of years ago was not the kind-hearted appearance of later generations, but the sword in hand and the angry eyes of Vajra.

The first step of the Kazu clan's external expansion was the Kyoto Basin north of the Nara Basin. The Buddhist holy land established on Mount Hiei in the northwest of Kyoto was called the Ghost Gate in ancient times.

Ghosts refer to other ethnic groups in the island country such as the Mao people who compete with the He tribe for living space. The Buddhist nuns are the main force of the He tribe against foreigners and are religious armed forces guarding the gate of ghosts.

Therefore, during the period of the Emperor's court, especially in the early days, Buddhism was very powerful and could influence many policies of the Emperor's court.

Until the rise of the samurai family and the establishment of the shogunate regime, the two shogunates of Kamakura and Ashikaga were still full of fear of the Buddhist sect's Buddhist regiments.

The shogunate wooed the Rinzai sect to establish the Kamakura Gozan, Kyoto Gozan and other nun hierarchy systems, which was also a political means to divide and balance Buddhist sects.

In Kyoto, it is impossible for the Wu family to control all links, and the Buddhist sects also have their own channels.

Not to mention anything else, just the barrier of Mount Hiei was enough for Oda Nobunaga to escape from death and jump out of Akechi Mitsuhide's strict defensive blockade.

Therefore, before taking action against Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide must first reach an agreement with the Buddhist sect to cut off this possibility.

The sectarian forces did not disappoint Akechi Mitsuhide. Their hatred for Oda Nobunaga was no less than their fear of Oda reforming the samurai group. If Akechi Mitsuhide dared to take action, of course they supported him with both hands.

In fact, the burning of Mount Hiei and the mysterious death of Master Kakushu were not enough reasons for the sectarian forces to want Oda Nobunaga dead.

Oda Nobunaga was not the first to burn Mount Hiei. General Ashikaga also burned it that year.

Furthermore, Oda Nobunaga was not the first samurai daimyo to suppress the Tendai Sect. The powerful shogunate leader at that time also helped the Nichiren Sect Ichikou Sect to suppress the Tendai Sect. In politics, the main thing is that if there are enough interests, anything can be discussed and anything can be turned into friendship.

However, the innovative policies of the Oda family seriously violated the privileges of the temple leaders. Oda Nobunaga introduced the Nanman religion to check and balance the Buddhist sect, which even undermined the foundation of the Buddhist sect.

Faith is no small matter, which leaves no room for compromise or negotiation between the Oda family and the Buddhist sect.

Therefore, the cooperation between Tianhai and Akechi Mitsuhide became logical.

Tianhai was supported by various Buddhist sects, but the high-sounding reasons that prompted her to stand up were still the incidents involving Mount Hiei and Master Kakushu.

Mount Hiei was burned, and the death of the previous master was unknown. The backlash of the Tendai Sect was understandable.

Just as Akechi Mitsuhide hated Oda Nobunaga in her heart, but her reason for sending troops to besiege Oda Nobunaga was still the revenge for killing her father.

These reasons are not prepared for Oda Nobunaga, a man who is about to die, but to give an explanation to the saint in the future.

The saint and Oda Nobunaga reached an agreement in Fushimi Castle, slept in the same bed, and gave birth to a child.

Now everyone in Kinki is planning to work together to kill the mother of a divine descendant. Even if it is the mother of another divine descendant who does it, no one dares to bet that the saint will not get angry and it will not be settled.

This created a ridiculous situation. It was clear that both the samurai family and the sect wanted Oda Nobunaga to die, but Mitsuhide Akechi was the only one who stepped forward to take action.

Tianhai only dared to play the drums, and the others were only willing to cooperate privately, but they would never speak out. This was like a one-man show by Akechi Mitsuhide, and she had to bear everything by herself.

Even though Tianhai had a physical relationship with a saint, and she was an illegitimate daughter of Ashikaga, with noble blood, and had good reasons for participating, she was still frightened at the moment, and this meeting was a bit unnatural.

Akechi Mitsuhide, who was holding her belly, didn't want to sit down. She lowered her head and looked at Tianhai, only to see Tianhai staring at her belly in a daze, looking uneasy.

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled gracefully.

"What? Master Tianhai is scared? Are you panicking now? Is it too late?"

Faced with Akechi Mitsuhide's teasing, Tenkai recited a Buddhist chant and sighed.

"Master Akechi Mitsuhide is joking, monks like me are outside the Three Realms and Five Elements and don't care about worldly matters.

I came down the mountain today because the Nichiren sect did not abide by the precepts and returned to Kyoto to spread heresy. The Buddha said that he is compassionate, but he also has the angry eyes of Vajra. We cannot allow fallacies to rage and deceive people's hearts.

In addition, Master Soden of Nanzenji Temple asked me to tell you that the Rinzai Sect is holding a Buddhist meeting at Daitokuji Temple, and no one can leave during the meeting. "

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed dumbly, saying that he was talking about these shameless nuns.

They clearly longed for the death of Oda Nobunaga the most, but they did not dare to have a trace of causality. They were extremely shameless and extremely cowardly.

Oda Nobunaga has worked hard in Buddhist sects. The Honnoji sect of Nichiren sect and the Daitokuji sect of Rinzai sect are the sects closest to her.

Tenkai of the Tendai Sect and Soden of the Rinzai Sect were invited by Akechi Mitsuhide to cut off Oda Nobunaga's sect's foreign aid and retreat.
