Pillars of the Wu family

If all the Awaji sailors who stayed behind were really sent out, no one would stay behind on Awaji Oshima. At that time, not to mention going to the Seto Inland Sea to intercept the Saikoku merchant ships every day, it would be a problem whether they could watch Osaka Bay. The navy noticed something strange, and it is likely to raid Awaji Island. When Awaji is lost, the connection between the Shikoku Miyoshi family's old nest and Kinai will be cut off, and the Miyoshi family will become rootless duckweed, and the so-called Kinai hegemony will also become a castle in the air.

"Hmm! My family is so busy! Then there is no need to send the Awaji Navy anymore, and you don't need to go there. Go back and continue to be the leader of the Awaji Navy. Keep an eye on the Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay, and Kumano Sea for our family. Go!" Miyoshi Changqing's cold tone did not show the warmth just now, except for the coldness in the tone, it was still ice-cold.

This made An Zhai Dongyasu very embarrassed. As a member of the family, he finally saw Miyoshi Changqing, but he wanted to leave on the same day. He looked helplessly at Miyoshi Yoshin, who immediately said knowingly: "Why don't you go first?" Let Dongkang go down and rest for a night? It’s getting late now.”

"Well, then rest for one night, and return to Awaji by boat tomorrow!" Miyoshi Changqing nodded, got up and left the big tent immediately, and never looked at Toyasu Antaka again from the beginning to the end.

All the ministers of the Miyoshi family got up and came to comfort An Zhai Dongyasu. The reputation of the benevolent general of the Miyoshi family is quite good, and the popularity in the family is very good, so it is not surprising that many people came to comfort him. Even Matsunaga Hideo brought a He said with an apologetic face: "His Royal Highness Dongkang has worked hard! We will persuade the Lord in the future, and everything will be fine when the Lord calms down! After all, the Lord's hegemony cannot be separated from His Highness Dongkang, nor can it be separated from the support of the Awaji Navy. .”

All of this was seen by Miyoshi Yoshin, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard Matsunaga Hideo's words with ulterior motives.After hesitating again and again, he still didn't choose to go over to comfort Anzhai Dongyasu.Instead, he turned around and left the big tent in a hurry.Of course, all of this could not escape Matsunaga Hideo's seemingly inadvertent glance, seeing this scene also made his smile become more kind.

"His Highness Dongkang must be tired after working for many days. I, Jiuxiu, will arrange a camp for His Highness Dongkang!"

An Zhai Dongyasu glanced around in disappointment, but he didn't find his brother Miyoshi Yoshiken, so he could only reluctantly reply politely: "Then there will be His Highness Nao Jiuxiu!"

With the end of the Amaseura water battle, the complete siege network of the Miyoshi family on Kyoto was completely broken. Both the land battle and the water battle were won by the Kira family, and both times they won more with less.This caused many people to spread the saying of "three good nemesis", which of course made it difficult for Sanhao Changqing to accept.

According to the rumors in Kyoto, Miyoshi Changqing became a big monster with blue face and long fangs, but this big monster would be defeated every time by the guardian of the shogunate, Yoshitomo Kira, just like Momotaro always defeated monsters, of course this is the most primitive version, Soon, different versions of the story evolved quickly. When the news of the end of the Amaseura Water Battle spread, a new legend spread immediately.

Legend has it that Momotaro was reincarnated during the time of Kiragi, and the five brothers of the Miyoshi family became the reincarnation of monsters, and the leader of the monsters was Miyoshi Changqing.After discovering that the monster was reincarnated and would come to Kyoto to harm the common people, Momotaro followed his reincarnation and came to Kyoto to protect everyone.So every time the monster will be defeated, because justice always wins over evil.

It is conceivable how angry Miyoshi Changqing would be when he saw this absurd legend, and it is no wonder that he would show his face to Toyao Yasaka in a moment of anger, but he completely ignored Toyasu Anzhai's thoughts in doing so, and gave Miyoshi's family peace A united, aggressive vibe is overshadowed.

As the news of the retreat of the Awaji navy gradually fermented, the public opinion in Kyoto began to reverse in a few days. From the original panic as if the end was approaching, it became possible to maintain a relatively calm attitude towards the [-] troops across the river. Of course, there is a limit to this calmness. They are still very concerned about the movements of the Miyoshi family outside the city of Shoryuji, and of course the Kira family at the foot of Funaoka Mountain.

This expectation lasted for several days. Except when the envoys of the imperial court and the shogunate went to Funaokashan to personally comfort Kirayoshi, the whole Funaokashan was quiet, neither building fortifications nor planning to cross the river to attack Miyoshi’s house, as if It seems that he deliberately gave the Miyoshi family a chance to breathe. In short, there are all kinds of speculations, and no one can tell what Kirayoshi was thinking.

"What do I think?" Yoshihiro Kira changed into a comfortable sleeping position, put his head on Chiyō Mochizuki's legs, and enjoyed the ear-digging service of the idiot Lolita. The ear-digging work is simple and easy to use. There are ear-digging spoons, but also ivory ear-digging spoons, jade ear-digging spoons and other precious things.

Another kind of nail clippers has never appeared before. This is what he found Su Gahei to make in time. It is made of high-quality copper materials according to the principle of leverage. The most similar item to nail clippers is tweezers, which also have the same bite method It is not too troublesome to operate, just adding a sharpened sharp edge on the front. These two things soon became one of the small gifts for relatives and friends in Kyoto. It is said that the royal family in Ouchi also used this novel gadget.

"I'm not stupid. Miyoshi Changqing is clearly waiting for me to cross the river. Now whoever crosses the river first will die. I won't die. Whoever wants to go will go!"

Ever since Mochizuki Chiyo saw him asking the maid to dig his ears, this idiot loli took the initiative to undertake this difficult task. I have to say that this idiot loli has merits besides ninjutsu. It is said that she can do her own laundry, cook, and is also proficient in massage techniques. It is no problem to leave her with sprains and contusions.

"Then the meaning of the Lord Hall Master is to wait for the work to be done at a leisurely pace?" Ben Duo then said to himself: "I understand! Thank you Lord Hall Master for your teaching! This servant will leave now!"

Looking at the figure that hurried away, Kira Yoshishi said a little speechlessly: "...I didn't say anything?"

"Ah? Is Your Highness talking to me?" Mochizuki Chiyo's smooth rhythm of digging her ears was interrupted, she tilted her head to think for a while, then shook her head and said, "Chiyo didn't notice!"

"Aren't you a ninja? Attention must be important?"

"In addition to being very good at ninjutsu and infiltration, Chiyo is not qualified for intelligence, disguise, incitement, assassination, and poison. In the words of my father, Chiyo is hopeless!" The idiot Lolita slowly found out The rhythm just now.Shaking his little head seemed to be very happy.

"Damn! Still learning so many things? Forget it. Don't worry about these problems!" Close your eyes and enjoy the feeling of being served.After a while, he said again: "How did you learn to cook, wash clothes, and massage at such a young age? I don't know any of these things."

"Because my father is very busy, every time I hand over the training course to Chiyo, he leaves in a hurry. My uncle is also very busy, and every time he guides Chiyo's training, he leaves. In the end, Chiyo can only cook and wash clothes by himself, or else he will live. I can’t go on anymore!” Mochizuki Chiyo said as it should: “All female ninjas have to pass this level, but Chiyo can learn faster than them!”

"...What kind of beast training method is this, I don't know the principle!" With his normal way of thinking.Obviously can't keep up with the IQ of the ninjas in the nest of Koka Mountain. Unlike their relatives, the Mochizuki clan in the nest of Shinano Mountain, there is a large group of very yellow and violent samurai groups in Koka County. And how to prevent being shaded.

During the Civilization Period, Rokkaku Takarai refused to obey the order of the shogunate and privately seized and confiscated the territory of the shogunate, causing some of the shogunate to starve to death without food and clothing. As a result, the shogunate army of Ashikaga Yoshinaka was attracted, and Rokkaku Takarai hid in Jia Playing hide-and-seek in the mountain nest of Ga County, and dispatched Koga ninjas headed by Mochizuki to attack Ashikaga Yoshinaka's main camp at night, causing chaos in the Ashikaga army.

Henceforth.The names of Koga ninja and Mochizuki clan spread across the country, and Mochizuki ninja who is good at stealth, smoke, and concealment won the special title of "shadow ninja".And this generation of shadow ninjas has a very special identity, they are very rare twin brothers Mochizuki Yoshito and Mochizuki Yoshinaga.

In the late Muromachi period, the cultural customs of the Sengoku period were quite different from those in the Genpei and Kamakura periods. For example, there were actually two descendants of Kai Genji. Born, Takeda Jiro Nobuyoshi was born at noon. This is a typical pair of identical twins, which was also a sensation in the Genpei era.

In the Warring States period, twins were still taboo. Some superstitious people listened to the scriptures recited by the crooked monk, and regarded one of the twins as the product of demon possession. Therefore, it is not surprising that all kinds of drowning. This did not happen.

Perhaps their father made Mochizuki Yoshinaga, who is a younger brother, the shadow of his elder brother out of the role of waste utilization or spare tire. A unique shadow ninja, the shadow of the shadow always covers his face, and outsiders don't even know that he looks exactly like Mochizuki Yoshito.

Only a ninja like Masaaki Hattori, who also lives under the shadow of his elder brother, Hosaga Hattori, will have dealt with this shadow ninja. From the performance and the description of Mochizuki Chiyo, we know that this is a very perverted family from the inside to the outside, and the ancestor of the Mochizuki family who made the family rules must be a psychopathic old monster.

……

The influence of the Amaseura water battle was still on the Miyoshi army. Miyoshi Changqing issued a strict order to capture this mountain city within three days, so a cruel battle broke out. Tens of thousands of troops launched a fierce attack from the Otemon and Tiemon gates at the same time. The Hosokawa defenders in the city couldn't raise their heads under the strong suppression of iron cannons. The Miyoshi army used simple wooden stakes as battering rams to hit the Otemon Gate, and the Hosokawa army counterattacked with arrows and sculls.

The battle lasted from early morning to dark, and the Hosokawa Army, which repelled more than 2000 waves of attacks in a row, was able to breathe. The Miyoshi Army continued their onslaught at dawn the next day. , there were only [-] people in the city. As the battle progressed, both sides suffered a large number of casualties. The ratio of offensive and defensive losses was three to one.

The retainers of the Hosokawa family ran to the castle tower and smashed the door, but at this time the castle tower had been closed for many days, and no one could see Harusuke Hosokawa. In desperation, the warriors of the Hosokawa family could only discuss He wondered whether it was time to surrender, but there was no response to the surrender form delivered outside the city.

The Miyoshi family made up their minds to break through Shenglong Temple City. Earlier, when the losses were not heavy, it was unsuccessful to persuade the defenders in the city to surrender. Now that they are expending a lot of effort to break through the city, the Hosokawa army has no sense or sincerity in mentioning surrender. The mountain city that had been for many days was finally breached, and the raging fire on the top of the city seemed to indicate that the sky in Kinai was about to change.

On July [-]th, Katsuryuji Castle was breached, and the two thousand Hosokawa troops fought most of the battle. Before the Miyoshi army invaded the Honmaru castle tower, Hosokawa Harutsune had already burned down the castle tower one step earlier. Looking at the blazing main castle tower, I don’t know Miyoshi How did Changqing feel? This also brought new changes to the quiet Kyoto for many days.

The Kira army seized the adjustment time of a few days to adjust the treatment and supplies of the wounded. The victory of the Amaseura water battle gave the Kira family a rare respite. The Miyoshi family's vigorous attack was to prepare for the next battle. We all know that this joint battle cannot be dragged on, and there will inevitably be a head-on collision in the end.

At this moment, Yoshihide Rokkaku had been dawdling for a long time before arriving late with [-] Omi troops. This time he still showed his true nature and hid on Fushimi Momoyama in a shrunken form. Across the confluence of the Kamo River and the Katsura River, they confronted the Miyoshi Army at Katsuryuji Castle on the west bank of the river.

This is also the place where Kira's army stayed a few days ago, and the traces of withdrawal are still in the same place. It is also very comfortable to set up camp. No matter whether the speculators of the Liujiao family shrink, the addition of this new force will still make the situation on the battlefield appear. Some new changes.

The scheming Miyoshi Changqing immediately ordered Miyoshi Changyi, who was staying at Settsu Akutagawa Mountain Castle, to lead an army of [-] troops to reinforce Shenglongsi City. The governor of the Liujiao family lacked the responsibility he deserved, so Miyoshi Changyi's [-] troops left behind in Shenglong Temple City were enough to restrain Liujiao Yixian from acting rashly, while he could personally lead an army of [-] to cross the river.

Two days later, on the morning of July [-]th, hundreds of boats and boats along the river arrived, and the grandiose crossing of the river gradually began. It was obvious that they would cross the river in front of the Kira family. Being able to hear the noise in the distance, this is a display of power, and it is also his extreme confidence in himself.
