When Ishida Aido said that he wanted to push Takeuchi out, Tanaka couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
In his opinion, as long as the culprit is pushed out, their guilt will be reduced a lot. After all, it was not them that provoked those foreigners to bombard Osaka Commercial Town, but that old bastard Takeuchi.
Although they lost the battle, they could always find some excuses.
Tanaka knew very well that the fighting methods of those foreigners were actually very powerful. Especially their use of iron cannons is simply the best.
The five-stage shooting combined with the circle tactics of the cavalry gave Tanaka an extraordinary shock.
It¡¯s just that their troops are too small. If they had more troops, they might be defeated once they come into contact with their own side, and they wouldn¡¯t have lasted so long.
Actually, Tanaka has come to his senses at this time.
Various scenes from earlier battles were constantly replayed in his mind.
Through his recollection, Tanaka can basically conclude that in fact, the suppression and upper hand at that time were all illusions.
Those foreigners didn¡¯t take them seriously at all.
In other words, when people face attacks from people like themselves, they have a way to deal with them.
With less than 1,000 men, they were able to fight against 5,000 of their own, and they also achieved final victory, which shows that the opponent's military strength is very unusual.
Therefore, when the troops from the shogunate come over, they may not be able to get anything to go out.
It is even said that the fate of the shogunate's army will be the same as theirs.
By that time, it is estimated that these people will no longer be guilty.
Thinking of this, Tanaka couldn't help but feel relieved.
At this moment, he wished that the shogunate's army would arrive quickly, fight with those foreigners, and then be beaten up by the foreigners and flee.
However, Tanaka also knows that this is unrealistic.
Ishida Aimichi and Tanaka returned to Osaka Castle in panic all the way.
As soon as he entered Osaka Castle, Ishida Aimichi ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and then quickly wrote a memorial and sent it to the shogunate as far away as Edo.
After finishing all this, Ishida Aido took a deep breath and came to the attic of Osaka Castle. He looked at the direction where Zhao Hongyu and the others were stationed and slumped down.
In Ishida Kaido, a sense of powerlessness kept coming out. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
However, today¡¯s experience made him unable to shake off this feeling.
Am I having a bad year this year?
Didn¡¯t you read the almanac when you went out?
What a bad luck.
"However, if we really talk about this matter, we still have to blame Takeuchi.
¡°If he hadn¡¯t been so greedy, it would have been impossible for him to do such a thing.
It¡¯s all him! It's all him!
It¡¯s all his fault that we¡¯ve ended up in this situation.
It was precisely because of him that he offended those vicious foreigners.
Because of him, the once prosperous commercial town of Osaka has now been turned into ruins. The economy of Osaka Castle will be finished at least within a year.
Without Osaka Commercial Town, as a city lord, I would be penniless.
His grandmother¡¯s, this damn Takeuchi.
Sitting there, Ishida Aido cursed angrily.
After Ishida Aimichi and his party returned to Osaka Castle, Takeuchi, who originally stayed in Osaka Castle, noticed that everyone looked bad, so he was very sensible and did not get close to them.
Fortunately, he has such a little bit of foresight. If he gets involved, he might actually get beaten.
After all, because of his greed, everyone now has to face failure and punishment, so no one will look good on him.
??Everyone who passes by him treats him as a transparent person.
¡° Even Ishida Kaido glared at him hatefully when he passed by.
To be honest, no matter how idiotic Takeuchi is, he still understands what situation he is in now.
However, didn¡¯t Ishida Kaido and others go out to fight those foreigners?
Immediately, he was startled by his own thoughts.
No way!
He looked at the backs of the people retreating, and couldn't help but feel a sudden surge in his heart.
Originally, when Ishida Kaido and the others set off, Takeuchi didn¡¯t think so much at all.
In his opinion, it must be a matter of hands for five thousand people to deal with those foreigners.
But who could have imagined that they would be defeated.
Is it possible that those foreigners are really so powerful?
Takeuchi Jin¡¯s body couldn¡¯t help but tremble.
Well, because of his own reasons, Osaka Commercial Town was bombarded and razed to the ground. The lord of Osaka Castle went to take revenge, but was also defeated.
¡°Oh my God, who did I offend? How could they be so powerful?
It¡¯s just a little bit of money, so what!
Takeuchi really wanted to cry now, but he couldn't.
My good daughter, I hope you can speak well to the shogun for your father, otherwise your father will really have to answer here this time.
Takeuchi couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart.
However, Takeuchi was also very confused. Ishida Aimichi and the others led an attack with 5,000 troops. How could they fail so quickly?
This is very unreasonable.
??Besides, no matter how strong and powerful those foreigners are, the place where they fight is in Japan. If you don't say anything else, if you want to talk about their familiarity with the terrain here, they must be the local snakes who are powerful.
¡°Furthermore, fighting locally and fighting externally are completely different psychologically.
It can be seen that the situation is very unfavorable for those foreigners.
But even with such an advantage, how could Ishida Aido still fail?
I really can¡¯t figure it out.
Because Takeuchi couldn¡¯t figure it out, he found an acquaintance among the Hatamoto samurai who followed Ishida Aido back to Osaka Castle, hoping to learn from the acquaintance what the situation was.
Since returning to Osaka Castle, Ishida Aimichi and the others have no intention of paying attention to Takeuchi.
Because everyone was worried that those foreigners would take the opportunity to attack Osaka Castle. After all, they lost a large number of soldiers in the midnight battle, which suddenly led to Osaka Castle's military strength being empty.
If those foreigners take the opportunity to attack Osaka Castle at this time, Osaka Castle will not be spared.
If possible, Ishida Aido and the others really want to leave Osaka Castle, but their identities are destined to prevent them from taking this path.
The lords and samurai of Osaka Castle left Osaka Castle, which was originally supposed to be garrisoned by them. No matter what the final result was, they had to commit suicide.
Precisely because of such a rule, Ishida Aido and the others could only bite the bullet and return to Osaka Castle, and then try their best to gather manpower to garrison Osaka Castle to defend against the attack of those foreigners.
It can be seen that after passing that station, Ishida Aido and the others were frightened.
As for Takeuchi, he still doesn¡¯t know that he is about to be pushed out as a scapegoat.
Of course, it is not very appropriate to call him a scapegoat. After all, the cause of this incident was because of him.
If it weren¡¯t for him, things wouldn¡¯t be so bad.
At this time, Takeuchi has found his acquaintance and is asking about the battle situation at midnight to understand the reason for Ishida Aido and their defeat.
Takeuchi¡¯s acquaintance is a samurai who is over forty years old.
This samurai likes gambling and always loses every time he gambles, so he owes Takeuchi a lot of money.
Who makes Takeuchi the largest loan shark in Osaka?
"Ito, tell me honestly how your battle is going today."
After finding the acquaintance who was busy, Takeuchi pulled him to a secluded corner and immediately asked.
"Mr. Takeuchi, what time is it now, and you still have the time to ask me about this matter. I need to recruit some people to defend Osaka Castle right now, but I don't have time to talk to you about these things."
The samurai named Ito obviously didn¡¯t want to talk to Takeuchi.
However, Takeuchi had no intention of letting him go.
"Ito, you owe me a lot of money. Are you going to treat me like this?"
Takeuchi narrowed his eyes and looked at Ito with a stern expression.
Under the gaze of Takeuchi¡¯s expression, Ito finally?I gave in.
"We were defeated. Those foreigners were very powerful. We escaped. The cavalry, the Ashigaru and the militia were all defeated. Except for us Hatamoto, there are no decent soldiers around Lord Ishida anymore."
Ito quickly told Takeuchi about this.
"What, you are defeated."
Takeuchi lost his voice.
Although Takeuchi had already speculated about this, he was still shocked when he actually heard the fact.
This is incredible.
Why did you lose the battle?
"Didn't Ishida Aido lead five thousand people to attack those foreigners? Why did he fail? Is it possible that those foreigners are very powerful?"
Takeuchi grabbed Ito¡¯s arm to prevent him from running away, and continued to ask.
In Takeuchi¡¯s heart, there were too many things that made him confused.
Ito really doesn¡¯t want to be so wordy with Takeuchi. After all, he hates Takeuchi, and at the same time, he still has a mission.
If he continues to be entangled with Takeuchi here, there will be no way to complete his mission.
If you can't complete the task, all the adults who will be in a bad mood in the end will have to take it out on themselves and ship the goods.
That¡¯s really unlucky, isn¡¯t it?
"Master Takeuchi, please let me go. I have to gather some young men in the city and lead them to defend the city against foreigners. If you hold me back like this, I won't be able to complete the task, and I will be unlucky in the end. ."
But after all, Takeuchi is the father-in-law of the shogun, and he, a little Hatamoto, would not dare to offend him.
Therefore, Ito could only plead hard, hoping that Takeuchi could let him go.
But how could Takeuchi let him go so easily. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
