A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

People in Luoyang are very busy recently!

Ashikaga Yoshiaki's Returning Regiment is working hard to take over his brother Ashikaga Yoshiteru's imperial palace in Yamashiro Province, and then incorporate it into the Rakuyo Town fire. After the public dispersed and the town fire was gone, the remaining thousands of strong men were not used in vain. Each man was five taels, and they were all recruited to serve as miscellaneous soldiers of the shogunate.

Koheita and Yamauchi Taro were preparing to be summoned by the officials, probably to thank them. Along the way, he took out money and started to help Uncle Tsunari rebuild Zi Xiaolu's house, as well as the Yamauchi family's house in Luoyang, which had been completely burned down.

Oda Nobunaga couldn't be busy. He just sat there every day, unable to do anything. Because there were so many people who came to surrender, they could not receive them all day and night.

Yesterday, the Lord of Settsu Ikeda sent five hostages, including his son Ikeda Naga, to Beijing to express his surrender to Oda Nobunaga.

As for Takayama Ukon, Nakagawa Kiyohide, Araki Murashige, and Naito Tadatoshi, they all rushed to pledge their allegiance.

The most exaggerated thing is naturally that Matsunaga Hidetoshi and his son came to Beijing. As soon as he heard that these two people were coming to Beijing, Xiaoping rushed to the theater.

Matsunaga Express is amazing!

Liangque Gongfang!

I have seen many people who kill generals and leaders, and I have also seen people who kill generals and leaders at the same time, but killing generals twice is truly the only one in the world!

Infamy lasts forever!

In order to apologize to his son, Matsunagahide first offered the world's most precious ninety-nine eggplants, and then offered the famous sword Yakken Fujishiro Yoshimitsu.

His posture was extremely low, and he said that as long as he did not kill Song Yongtong, he could live in seclusion, become a monk, or be released. To show his sincerity, his daughter-in-law Guangqiao Zhuyan was even sent to Kyoto as a hostage.

Oda Nobunaga caressed the ninety-nine eggplants and couldn't put them down. Such a treasure can only be compared to the Matsumoto eggplants that Kodaira kept secretly.

"Kingo Matsunaga is so majestic and majestic that it makes people look at him!"

Matsunaga took two steps forward on his knees, buried his entire head into his body, and lay on the ground with his entire body.

No matter how strong the Matsunaga family is, they can't be stronger than the 60,000 strong soldiers and Oda Nobunaga who is supported by Kinai local tyrants.

"Please move to the main hall to help me, and ask the tree for forgiveness!"

"I heard that during the Battle of Namatsu last year, Matsunaga bombed the Great Buddha Hall and Todaiji Temple was reduced to ashes?" Oda Nobunaga ignored Matsunaga and turned to look at Matsunagahide.

"The Tsutsui family rebelled against the party and rebelled. On the battlefield, water and fire were merciless, and they accidentally caused the Great Buddha Hall to catch fire." Matsunagahide was suddenly asked, but he remained calm and composed without changing his expression.

"Your father and son are really the best in the world! To usurp the throne of the Lord is one of the worst evils; to kill the prince twice is the second worst evil; to burn down the Great Buddha Hall is the third worst evil."

"Nothing in the world can be more evil than a noble father and son!" Oda Nobunaga's smile was a bit scary.

The Oda warriors on both sides slammed their scabbards on the ground hard, and the floor in the entire hall shook. Xiaoping was not mentally prepared and was trembling with fright.

Among them, Matsunaga and his son, Matsunaga was even more panicked than Heita. His body curled up at a visible speed and almost rolled into a ball. But Matsunaga smiled instead, and that smile didn't look fake at all.

"The matter has come to an end. It's up to His Highness to decide what to do! No more words!"

"Use all your strength to pacify the Yamato Kingdom, and work together to send troops to seize Tsu and pacify the remaining evildoers of the Miyoshi and Three!" Oda Nobunaga suddenly stood up.

The verdict has been passed!

After Matsunaga and his son were spared and donated three thousand taels of gold to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Ashikaga Yoshiaki announced his pardon for Matsunaga's grave sin of participating in the Eiroku Rebellion. As for the poisoning of Ashikaga Yoshihide, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still secretly happy in his heart. He could only applaud and say that the killing was well done. After just a few words of admonishment, he let it go.

Turning around, it was announced that Matsunaga Hide had been appointed as the guardian of Yamato. As for other Kyoto officials, imperial ministers, companions, etc., all of them were naturally taken away.

It is undeniable that Matsunagamichi was an accomplice in the murder of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. The Yamauchi family naturally wanted to kill him, but firstly, the actual murderers were the Miyoshi trio, and secondly, Nobunaga needed the Matsunaga family to stabilize Yamato.

Oda Nobunaga always had to give face. First kill the three culprits, Miyoshi and others, and then go back and deal with Matsunaga. It is more in the interests of many parties than killing him now.

It is natural to have grudges and grudges, but politics has always been an art of compromise.

Except for the old ministers of the former Miyoshi clan, all other forces in the Kinai, large and small, basically expressed their surrender to Oda Nobunaga, including Hosokawa Akimoto and Hatakeyama Akidaka, who all came to Beijing to accept Ashikaga Yoshiaki's favor, and Hanoi was divided into one country. For the second, Hanguoan was given to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and Hankokuan was given to Hatakeyama Takamasa and Hatakeyama Akidaka and his son.

Hosokawa Fujitaka serves as the guardian of half the country of Izumi, and the other half of the country is regarded as the scope of Sakai Town, and Oda Nobunaga personally accepted it. Except for Settsu, which still had some areas that had not yet been pacified, it was almost rare to see war in Kinai.

Even temples such as the Honganji Temple in Settsu and the Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei paid "arrow money" to Oda Nobunaga, expressing a certain degree of surrender.

It is hard to imagine that the Honganji Temple, which would mobilize its believers to fight a ten-year war of resistance in the future, did not even let go of a fart and sent the Xiamen Xingbu (not Xiama Lai Lian) to send 2,000 Kan Yongle money.

After roughly handling these matters, Oda Nobunaga finally told the court that he was free and wanted to go to the palace to thank him.

Everyone immediately started to get involved, and Nobunaga even spent 200 coins to repaint the Imperial Palace. As for all the ministers, they all distributed rice and silk cloth to show their friendship.

When I finally went to the palace, I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Even though Yamauchi Taro was like a young adult, he was still stroking the corners of his sleeves. Although it was newly sewn and ironed, Yamauchi Taro still felt it was irregular.

As a member of the police force, Koheita was summoned to Sekiro Nijo Haruyo's residence in advance, and he and Hosokawa Kaina were each equipped with a ritual sword.

Well, that's right, it was the secret treasure of the Forbidden Palace, and later it was known as the only Tang Dao in the world!

With its straight blade and mother-of-pearl-decorated scabbard, the purpose of this thing is evident from its name.

Wearing a long dress, a hanging crown, and holding a tooth wat, this ceremonial sword is really just a pure decoration.

The function is to hold the sword in front of the head to clear the way for Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and then take it off before going to the palace. This is just to reflect the special status of General Zhengyi as the pillar of the military family.

When entering the temple, you still have to declare your name and take off your shoes. The two ceremonial knives can only be brought to the front of the hall, then taken off, placed in the sword letter in front of the hall, and handed over to the sword-bearing gentleman in front of the hall (he is an official). manage.

Climb the palace!

"Minamoto court minister Ashikaga Councilor Yoshiaki!"

"Oda Danmasada Nobunaga, the Taira court minister!"

"Minamoto Courtier Yamauchi Ukonoe Major General!"

"Minister of the Minamoto Court, Hosokawa, the Young Assistant of the Military Department, Fujitaka!"

"Fujiwara courtier's sister Koji Dansho Obutsuna's house!"

"Hosokawa Saime, Minamoto's court minister, is in charge of the government!"

…………

Entering the large palace, there is still a slight smell of paint. But they are all natural lacquers, so they have a light fragrance and are not pungent.

On both sides were rows of ministers, including Sewan Haku Nijō Haruyoshi, former Seki Haku Ichiichi clan, Hirohashi Dainagon, Lieutenant General Karatsu, as well as the samurai family members such as Asukai, Uncle Tsunari, and Kikutei Haruki, etc.

Walking quickly into the hall from the corridor, Xiaopingtai quickly raised his head and glanced up. Not far away was a bamboo curtain wrapped with flower silk. Behind the gap sat a man in black robes, who was probably an official.
