"Everyone, now that the dawn is ahead, if you don't make a decision as soon as possible, don't regret it!" Shan Minglong looked at the people around him, and there was a certain condescending aura in his eyes.

When everyone first heard about the results of the Qiyueling battle, they were half-believed. It was hard for anyone to believe that the more than [-] shogunate allied forces would defeat the Ming army.But when the general really returned to Kyoto with only sixteen cavalry in a hurry, everything was confirmed.

After the previous doubts dissipated, these people immediately sent a post to Shanming Longyi asking for permission.Previously, the status of the two parties was completely reversed. On the contrary, everyone begged others to take the initiative to come to work.

With Shanming Longyi's affirmative encouragement, finally the first person stood up to express his opinion: "The Songshan family obeys Master Shanming's orders, and the whole family is at their disposal!"

"The Heshan family has 340 six males under my humble self, and all of them are arranged by Mr. Yamana. There is no difference!" Dimension Travel Guide 1494

"The people of Jiucilan are willing to follow Master Ji, but they dare not go against it if they try their best!"

Just when the mountain name Long Yi expressed his appreciation for this, there was a sudden disharmony in a low voice: "I am waiting here to plan, if the general and the Ming army reach an agreement, so what? The Ming army, as long as it is "exposed" outside the city Face is enough to make Lord General admit defeat."

"That's right! What's more, the fox of Omi is still by the general's side, so we really have to guard against the opponent's tricks!"

"Hahaha... don't worry everyone, even if Ashikaga Yoshichi invited the gods this time, he won't be able to save his doom."

"Oh? What did Yamana-sama say? Higashikawa Yuji, he is not such a simple character!"

"There is no chance, my lord! Even if you are willing to surrender yourself now, and then take the blame, you can't do it! With the pride of the Ming army, you will never allow your lord general to admit defeat after the soldiers approach the city."

"No, no, there must be other ways! Tomoji-kun, if you want to save me, save the world of the shogunate!"

"...It's too late, General. There's no chance of safety other than a fight to the death."

"Could it be that the world of the Ashikaga family has come to an end like this? I don't accept it! I don't accept it! As long as I go to Tang Shangxian to beg for mercy, he will definitely let me go and let the Ashikaga family go! No matter what conditions he puts forward, we can agree to them all. Whether it is to exterminate Japanese pirates or to compensate for losses, even if it is for Kyushu and Shikoku, it is not impossible to discuss. Come, first fetch me the head of Hosokawa Manjo! Tomoji-kun, use this as a gift of apology , it should be recognized by the National Teacher, right?"

"... General, I beg you! Don't do this again, don't go on like this! Now that we have come to the end, let us fight to the death bravely like warriors! If we can survive, we may not be able to turn defeat into victory! "

"Turning defeat into victory? Friends... Yuji-kun, are you serious? We still have a chance to turn defeat into victory?"

"Yes, although there are not many, there is still a little chance. As long as we stick to the capital, we will definitely have a chance. Don't forget, the Eastern Japanese Allied Forces are about to arrive on the battlefield. The princes of Kyushu will not sit idly by. occur."

After Tokawa Yuji's detailed analysis, Ashikaga Yoshichi managed to regain a little confidence.He now fully pins his hopes on the East Japan Allied Forces, hoping that the daimyos of Kyushu, Sanyodo, and Sanin/Dao will fight to the death.

No one is more aware of the horror of losing land and wealth than him, and no one is willing to taste the taste of despair to death.Just for survival, the fighting power that the East Japan Allied Forces can unleash will be terrifying.

"General, we still need a little time. Now we have to try our best to gather all the armed forces in Kyoto, including servants of each family, monk soldiers of temples, security brigade of the shogunate, etc. We are not without strength to integrate these people .”

"Master Chimingyuan, I entrust all the situation to you this time!"

"Your Majesty Konoe, just rest assured. Although there are only monks in this temple, they also know the righteousness. The so-called propriety, righteousness and shame, the four dimensions of the country, if the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish! In order to preserve the inheritance of Japan from generation to generation, the poor monk Duty to shrug it off!" Plane Travel Guide 1494

"Thanks to Master Yusei Mise for his deep understanding of the righteousness. This behavior is exactly the righteousness of maintaining the prosperity of the country. Only by punishing the national thieves can Japan be truly able to return to the right path without being fettered."

"Amitabha! Even if the Buddha is reborn, the wrath of the Arhats will inevitably fall on the four fields. Monks should refrain from anger and killing, but in order to ensure the peace and well-being of the world, it is inevitable to resort to weapons."

"It is precisely for the righteousness of the world that I have the audacity to contact the masters of Kaiguang Temple. I have heard that Master Fang Ming's Buddhist teachings are incomparably superb. It is really a great honor for the royal family to have Master Fang Ming's support this time!"

"It is against the law of nature for the Wu family to control the power of the world. Although the small temple is weak, it does not dare to spare itself. To follow the invitation of Lord Jinwei, all 212 monks and soldiers will be dispatched to the command of the Lord."

"Today's situation is precisely because of the "chaos" of the country's thieves, which has caused such a dangerous situation. If the master can raise righteous soldiers and put down the "chaotic" thieves, he will definitely win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor. The so-called birth is to join the world, and to join the world Only then can Xiu be born!"

"Master Konoe's words are very true. Our temple has long been willing to serve you, but it is a pity that it has not been able to realize its ambition for a long time. This time, there is a good opportunity in this world. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, will you lose your merit in vain? Just a command Excuse me, do you dare to disobey my temple?"

Before the flag of the Ming army showed up near the capital, the guards had already frequently attacked everywhere, contacting and dispatching in the middle, and unknowingly pulled up a powerful monk-soldier armed force.

The power of temples in Japan has always been strong. Most temples at the gate have their own armed monks and soldiers to protect the land and industry of the temple itself, and to intervene in secular power struggles at the right time.

A small number of temple industries have an astonishing amount of land, and even with the support of believers and money and food, they can independently rule the roost, stand proudly in the world as a religion and a prince, and almost harvest both spiritually and materially.

The various temples in Kyoto have always been considered powerful. Once some temples show their minions, they are much sharper than many princes and daimyos.Even the shogunate never dared to underestimate this power.

Usually, the shogunate's attitude towards various temples has always been a divide-and-conquer strategy, wooing some temples and attacking others, cleverly maintaining the balance between the two sides for their own wandering.

However, after the disastrous defeat in the battle at Qiyueling, everyone in the shogunate, including Ashikaga Yoshichi, was in a mess, and the control over Kyoto plummeted, which gave Konoe an opportunity to take advantage of his words.

Everyone knows that after the establishment of the shogunate, the royal family and the public ministers have obviously lost their political space. Even when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were established side by side, there were not many temple monks who supported the royal family.

And as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Ashikaga Yoshimura came to power one after another, the coercion of the shogunate became stronger and stronger, and all forces, including the royal family, local guardian daimyo, and ministers, were firmly suppressed and could not hold their heads up.

Those monks in Japan who were themselves peddlers judged the situation immediately, and turned to support the samurai regime of the shogunate, and even put the royal family aside.This can be regarded as one of the important reasons that led to the final compromise of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the royal family bowed to the shogunate-there were fewer and fewer forces supporting the royal family.

Many Japanese monks can not only marry wives and have children as usual, but can even hold political positions in the secular court.This is unimaginable in China, but it is very common in Japan.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Japanese monks are more like political figures than people in the original religion.

After successfully contacting all the temples in the capital, Konoe Xingyan quickly sneaked back to the palace and reported the details to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if this is accomplished, major events in the world can be decided with one stroke!"

But the emperor was not as confident as Konoe's words. He was under the pressure of the Muromachi shogunate, and he felt more fearful of Ashikaga Yoshichi: "Master Konoe, is it really possible?"

"Hey! Your Majesty, please trust me, the result of the battle at Nanatsushiling has been confirmed. After suffering such a tragic defeat, Ashikaga Yoshichi will never be able to make any waves again. Just one blow, we can Turn the whole situation around."

"But...but even if we succeed in taking down Ashikaga Yoshichi and completely smashing the rule of the Muromachi shogunate, how can we face the Ming army? Is it true that I really want to surrender to the Ming people? This is not in line with My family inherits the spirit!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to worry about this matter. What Ming people want is nothing more than face. As long as Japan escapes this disaster, Your Majesty can still be alone in the south. The so-called surrender is just a formality. How to say it , it is much better to surrender to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty than to submit to the coercion of military officials and lose power, right?" Plane Travel Guide 1494

"Your Majesty, what Konoe-sama said is absolutely true! It is said that you would rather give to foreign enemies than keep domestic slaves. The Ashikaga family is just a subordinate of the military minister. Now he has stolen a high position and is dominating the world. How can the common people still remember the honor of His Majesty? Don't take advantage of this good opportunity to produce After leaving the Muromachi Shogunate, the general trend of the rise and fall of the royal family will never be reversed."

"Then... I heard that the Ming Kingdom asked Japan to cede Kyushu and the Four Kingdoms. Such a major event has never happened to Japan in the past thousand years. If I am a vassal, can I really agree?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can assure you that if you use your three-inch tongue to explain to Tang Shaozhe, the national teacher of the army, he will definitely let him give up such false hopes, and only leave the status of the suzerain in name."

"If that's the case, then it's all up to Konoe-kun."

"Hey Yi, leave it all to me!"
