A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Nobunaga suddenly changed his mind. Although many Kinai people still don't know the reason, most of them are still happy to accept the result.

Hieizan Enryakuji Temple is the most exciting! You see, even Oda Nobunaga, the leader of the shogunate, is already afraid of the power of gods and Buddhas and has asked us for peace. No one in this world can point fingers at Eizan!

The shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the official emperor of the imperial court naturally breathed a sigh of relief. One sent Hosokawa Fujitaka and Mibuchi Fujihide, and the other sent Kikutei Haruyuki and Uncle Tsunari, and rushed to Eizan at starry night. Xiao Pingtai represented the Shimoyama Yamauchi clan, and all parties drew a paper together to make an agreement and reached a consensus.

Thousands of Asakura Asai's defeated soldiers who had previously asked Eizan to hand over were ignored. Eizan only symbolically handed over two so-called defeated soldiers to Nobunaga to relieve his anger and then made no move. Nobunaga no longer asked Hieizan to extend his life. The monks from Li Temple came down the mountain and evacuated.

Nobunaga then returned to Gifu non-stop, relying on his powerful military force halfway to capture Jiangbei Hengshan Castle. As a base for the Oda clan to monitor and attack Jiangbei, General Hideyoshi Hashiba was sent to settle there.

Hashiba Hideyoshi accumulated his previous achievements and was awarded the title of Lord of Hengshan City in Jiangbei, with the title of Ten Thousand Guan. As the commander-in-chief of Jiangbei, he presided over the attack and deployment of Asai Nagamasa's forces in Jiangbei.

In Jiangnan, General Mori Katsunari still stayed at Usayama Castle. On the one hand, he monitored Luoyang, and on the other hand, he also shouldered the responsibility of contacting and monitoring Ashikaga Yoshiaki with Sakamoto's Akechi Mitsuhide.

In order to encircle the Asakura clan who had launched a brazen attack, Niwa Nagahide entered Wakasa as the guardian of Wakasa. He led the Wakasa people who were still resisting the Asakura clan and began to directly threaten the Asakura clan's rule in Wakasa.

As for Nobunaga himself, after returning to Gifu, he ordered the generals Shibata Katsuie, Takigawa Ichimasu, and Hayashi Xiuzhen to lead more than 20,000 Owari North Force troops to attack Nagashima and suppress the troops.

Prior to the fall of Nagashima Castle, Nobunaga's seventh brother Nobuxing, the Lord of Ogie Castle who was monitoring Nagashima, fought hard, but he still could not withstand the attack of a sea of ​​people, and was defeated and died. Nobunaga was extremely angry about this, which was one of the reasons why he was willing to withdraw his troops from Eizan and immediately return to suppress Nagashima.

After all the arrangements, Nobunaga ordered Yamato's Matsunagahide and Tsutsui Junkei to reconcile, but Matsunagahide turned a deaf ear. Then Tsutsui Junkei became the new guardian of Yamato and was recognized by Oda Nobunaga.

The Miyoshi trio, who were ready to move ashore, joined forces with Shinohara Chofusa, Yusa Shinkyo and others who raised troops again. They first killed Hatakeyama Akidaka, who relatively supported Nobunaga, and prepared to seize the Hatakeyama clan's power in the Kinai and expand their base. Continued confrontation with Oda Nobunaga.

This move was met with a fierce reaction by Hatakeyama Takamasa, who summoned the Nerai clan (the Shingon sect force?), the Yukawa clan and some forces in Kawachi to start a deadly fight with the Miyoshi clan.

With a total strength of 50,000 and a mobile combat strength of more than 30,000, the forces of the Sanhao and Sanzhong began to gradually march out of Gaowu Castle in Hanoi. Trying to seize this city, which is of great significance to the Hatakeyama clan, and suppress Hanoi.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who was caught in the cracks, became the weakest party. After joining forces with his uncle Miyoshi Yasunaga, he focused on protecting Wakae Castle. But at least for the time being, the anti-flag against Oda Nobunaga has not been raised, and it belongs to the forces of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiakita.

As for Tanba's protection of the Hatano clan and Tango's protection of the Isshiki clan, they completely broke up with Oda Nobunaga and stated that they would no longer accept the leadership of Nobunaga, the shogunate. The Yamana clan, who had expressed surrender after being attacked by the Oda army, also raised a rebellion again, and Nobunaga's territory in Kinai shrank considerably.

The Master of Ishiyama Honganji Temple finally publicly issued a "mobilization order" to the followers of the Yixiang Sect all over the world! Called on all disciples to rise up to fight against the brutal rule of Oda Nobunaga.

In addition to the father and son Zhenghui and Zhengyi of Yuanzhengji Temple who had already raised troops, Master Xianru did not hesitate to send the monks and monks to lead the monks and disciples to Nagashima to help in the battle. Many iron cannons and iron cannons from Iga and Koga Surprise attack experts were also hired to enter Nagashima Wanzheng Temple to strengthen the temple's defense.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiaki in Makishima Castle was questioned by Akechi Mitsuhide sent by Oda Nobunaga, since he had escaped, it was definitely impossible to return to the canary birdcage at Nijo Imperial Palace. Mingfa's imperial teachings completely ignored Oda Nobunaga and asked Mori Terumoto to transport military rations and rice to the mountain castle.

He also asked Asakura Yoshikage to send a large army to the west bank of Lake Biwa as a flank defense for the shogunate army. Asakura Yoshikage was also very loyal and sent Asakura Keiken to command 6,000 people to advance towards Omi. As for whether they could reach Makishima Castle. It's completely unknown.

The Yamauchi army, which has been temporarily stuck in the Kinai quagmire, is really like that now. It can't advance! Retreat, there is nowhere to retreat! situation. Although he managed to ensure the stability of Sakai, Shinohara Nagafusa was afraid of the Yamauchi family's military strength and went straight to Kishiwada Castle.

However, with enemies on all sides, the Yamauchi family was very embarrassed.

Oda Nobunaga himself was in a mess and couldn't clean it up. Faced with the issue of the way for the Yamauchi army to return to the country raised by Koheita, he was very bachelor and spread his hands.

I can help you pass the order to Tsutsui Junkei in Yamato and Kitahata Shigetsu in Nansei. When you get to Toba, you don't need the Oda family's navy or Hamamatsu's merchant ships and warships to bring you back to Hamamatsu.

But how to get past the Yamato Kingdom, which is now controlled by the anti-Nobunaga Matsunagahide forces, is not something Oda Nobunaga can do.

At this time, the people in Sakai Town came forward, said hello to Matsunagahide, and stuffed Matsunagahide with two thousand kan, allowing Matsunagahide to let go.

As a discerning person, Matsunaga Hide had a clearer view of the mess in the shogunate. He knew that the Yamauchi clan, who was dedicated to protecting the shogunate, would inevitably conflict with the Oda clan. So I was willing to go along with the flow and let the Yamauchi army pass.

Both Kinai's anti-Nobunaga forces and Nobunaga's forces actually wanted the Yamauchi army to leave quickly to varying degrees. No matter where the fifteen thousand people were placed, they would not dare to act rashly. Everyone threw their arms away and fucked hard. You, a neutral force with an unclear attitude, were stuck in the middle. Everyone felt uncomfortable.

Only Ashikaga Yoshiaki was the most reluctant to leave. It would be great if fifteen thousand people of his precious son came to Makishima Castle. It's a pity that the way to Beijing is blocked by the three Miyoshis. Both Yamauchi and Matsunaga can talk, but they can't talk with the Miyoshis. Naturally, it became an excuse for the Yamauchi army to be unable to enter Beijing, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki was perfunctorily passed over.

The army was still a little frightened along the way. Although the Nanshi area was still ruled by Kitahata Nobugi controlled by the Oda clan, there were many small groups of Ichikuzu and Doichikezu, and Kitahata Nobuhitsu was also trying every means to suppress them. Unfortunately, there are also many remnants of the old Kitahata clan among these people, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

The reason why the Southern Dynasty has not completely fallen into chaos is that Kitahata Nobuyuki is doing a good job. Kitahata Nobuyuki was confirmed by the shogunate to inherit the Kitahata family as his son-in-law and adopted son. There are still quite a few of the Kitahata family's retainers who support this. bit.

Not to mention, it was already May of the fourth year of Motoki's reign when Koheita stood on the ground of Hamamatsu Port again!
