Such a big thing as the capture of three Anzha ships must not be hidden from others, especially if it happened on the Kamogawa River near Kyoto. Kira Yoshitoki even had the audacity to use baked jade to drop bombs on the source of six rivers. Such a big movement immediately alerted the public. The news that Kira Yoshitoki had won another battle naturally spread throughout Kyoto as if it had wings. In order to prevent the true battle process from being leaked prematurely, Kira Yoshitoki immediately called the Chief Hattori and told him: "Immediately go to Kyoto to spread rumors, all kinds of rumors, outrageous and reliable ones." Spread it as soon as possible. In short, you must not let others guess the true situation of this battle. If someone tells the truth, you must distort it as soon as possible. " "Yes! I understand!" Hattori Baochang quickly retreated, and Yamamoto Tokiyuki brought one from nowhere. Sitting there leisurely drinking tea again, Kira Yoshi asked with a smile: "Master, don't you want to say something?" "Well! Do you want to remind me that I should praise the master of the hall? Well! The master of the hall is really good. The wise and decisive man has the appearance of a famous general. I watched the sky last night and noticed a bright star rising. I counted it and it was a sign of great prosperity for the shogunate! Hahaha" The old man looked up at the sky with a look on his face, "What's the weather like today?" The sky is clear and the sky is clear", which made him choked and speechless for a long time. "Hey! I didn't ask you to say this! You said something else, such as the good fight just now! And the rumor strategy is very good!" Kira Yoshitoki felt that if he died one day, he would definitely die. I was so pissed off by this guy. "Instead of worrying about such trivial issues! I think it is better for the host to care about Kyoto's issues!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki said with a smile, directly turning this battle into "minutical issues" from his mouth, This made Kira Yoshi choked and speechless again. "What's wrong with Kyoto? What's wrong with Kyoto! Master, you must be old and confused! Humph!" Kira Yoshi turned around in displeasure and walked away to ignore him. This old man was disrespectful and spoke in all kinds of disrespectful ways. Believe it or not, what can a group of royal ministers in Kyoto do? Soon various versions of rumors began to appear in Kyoto, including the power of Hachiman Bodhisattva, the protection of Inari God, and the killing of the brutal Miyoshi Navy by lightning from heaven. Rumors were flying everywhere. There was even a legend that General Ashikaga Yoshito was in Jishoji Temple. There are rumors that Noguchi Fuyunaga was killed with a swing of his sword, Ashikaga Yoshiharu appeared at the Imperial Palace and killed the Awaji navy, and so on. Anyway, Kyoto was under martial law in advance during the war, and no outsiders could observe the situation at that time. In the end, these rumors were spread more and more by interested people, and it was even said that the emperor prayed to Amaterasu to send down divine fire to burn those who dared to invade Kyoto. Contrary to the rule, this matter finally alarmed the Emperor of Ouchi, and he sent the first prince, Prince Katsuhito, out of Ouchi to investigate the situation outside Kyoto. "I'll go! It's really good but not bad! Talking about the problems in Kyoto, there are really problems in Kyoto!" It was the first time Kira Yoshishi met the royal family, and it was the current emperor's first prince, Prince Maangren. The first prince was not sick or in trouble. If he doesn't make mistakes, he will definitely be the next emperor. This Prince Katahito will be Emperor Masachimachi who will succeed to the throne a few years later. Kira Yoshitoshi hurriedly paid a courtesy visit to Prince Katahito. Although the samurai family had always kept a distance from the Emperor's family, they had to bow politely when they met. The rules of the court were very troublesome, and it was many times more complicated than visiting Ashikaga Yoshiharu at the Grand Imperial Palace. If it weren't for nothing, To prepare in advance, he had to change into the court uniform of the five Saabing guards in a proper manner. The rules of the imperial court are very troublesome. Normally, the royal family never leaves the palace easily. This time, it was suddenly thrown out. Not only was he dumbfounded, but also the warriors of the Kira family were dumbfounded. They had never seen the prince before. The emperor was known as the son of the gods. In the feudal and superstitious Middle Ages, this was quite a deterrent. Fortunately, everyone was calm and leaned on the ground without speaking, leaving everything to the family governor to handle. At this time, Prince Katahito was young, only in his thirties. Although his face was powdered so that his appearance could not be seen, the prince behaved very elegantly and was very kind to the samurai Yoshitoki Kira. He did not look down upon him at all. The meaning of age is that after Kira Yoshitoki truthfully reported the battle situation, he also praised Kira Yoshitoki for being loyal to the emperor and a role model for the imperial court. Anyway, I said some complimentary words in the weird royal crane sound. The crane sound is just a bunch of classical Chinese spoken in ancient Japanese. It sounds very difficult but I can barely understand the general meaning. Just as he was preparing to return to Ouchi, Yoshiki Kira suddenly said: "Your Highness, please keep the truth of this battle a secret, it is related to the revival of our shogunate! Please keep it a secret!" "Huh? I understand!" The prince He looked surprised, but he smiled and nodded kindly, and then drove back to the big house. A row of ox carts covered by curtains left slowly. Only then did Kira Yoshi breathe out lightly and said to himself: "This time we Another big bet! Did Emperor Masachika keep secrets for me? "The three Anzhai boats were towed back to Lake Biwa the next day. I have to say that Noguchi Fuyu is really stupid. The Kamogawa River is even shallower and narrower.There are only small tributaries such as the Yamashina River. The other main streams, whether it is the Katsura River or the Uji River, are very wide and deep. Even Nanban ships can travel without any problem. However, he led his navy into this river. Here, the originally undefeated game turned into a complete victory. A few days later, Miyoshi Nagakei, who was stationed at Akutagawa Mountain Castle, received a lot of specious news. No one could tell how Noguchi Fuyunaga was defeated. It was said that some people saw the Ashikaga Nibiki flag flying on the ship, and some said that it was actually The Yodogawa Navy Flag is more often said to be flying the Ghost King Flag, or even no flag at all. No one knows how they were defeated in the end. Neither the divine fire nor the divine thunder were reliable. Matsunagahide pondered for a moment and said: "Could it be an iron cannon? According to what Ise Sadataka said, the naval force was There are many iron cannons that make loud noises and white mist, and I suspect that there must be a connection. " Miyoshi Yasunaga, who has always been at odds with Matsunagahide, immediately expressed a different opinion: "Huh! What's wrong with the iron cannons? Will it get angry? But many people say that when they see fire shooting into the sky and black smoke floating into the sky, does the iron cannon have that ability? Even the iron cannon is more likely to do so! " "Yes! It's Bailao! His Highness Kang Chang woke up the dreamer!" This sentence woke up everyone in the room. None of the ministers of the Mihaoshi family were elite warriors who had survived the battle. But they also It¡¯s just that people who were misled by rumors couldn¡¯t figure it out for a while, but some people figured it out immediately after a little while. Miyoshi Yasunaga originally just wanted to get along with Matsunagahide, but now after hearing everyone's praise, he also quickly greeted his colleagues. Matsunagahide's face was very ugly. He only had a little knowledge of military strategy. Navy Commander He only has a rough understanding of things. He has been working as a secretary for Sanhao Changqing for a long time, so it is natural that he is full of flaws when talking about military formations. "Hmm! The possibility of roasting is very high! Jiuhide! Check the movements of the Mishima navy in recent months. Is there any movement into the Kinei?" Miyoshi Changqing immediately became suspicious, and even thought that he was good at using roasting. Yu's Mishima Navy colluded with the Kyoto shogunate, and only the Mishima Navy had the strength to annihilate an unprepared Awaji Navy. "Yes!" Matsunaga replied respectfully. Miyoshi Nagakei thought for a moment, then took out a pen and paper and scribbled down a letter. He summoned his surname and said, "Give this letter to Fuyoshi and ask him to pay close attention to the actions of the Mishima navy and the Seto Inland Sea." Don't let down your guard against any disturbance, especially the movements of the Ouchi family!" "My lord, I mean the Ouchi family" The ministers of the Mihaoshi family looked frightened. "Noit's just suspicion!" Miyoshi Changqing also had a solemn look on his face. The terror of the Ouchi family was a lingering shadow on Kinai. Presumably the ferocious Miyoshi family and the people of Kinai were even more afraid of Ouchi from the West. At home, Ouchi Yoshihiro left such a deep impression on Kinai that the famous general Hosokawa Masake in the Funaokayama battle spilled his blood on Arhat Bridge. Although Ouchi Yoshihiro's reign in Kyoto was not long, he left a deep impression on many people. The sturdiness and ferocity of Western warriors were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even Miyoshi Nagakei's great-grandfather Miyoshi Naga did not dare to compete with Ouchi Yoshihiro. , from that day on, the shadow of the Ouchi family in the West is like an invisible ghost, always existing in the hearts of people who experienced that era.
