Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kyoto's geographical location is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a river on one side. From the perspective of military defense, the terrain is very bad. If you cannot stand the mountains on three sides, Kyoto will not be absolutely safe. Ashikaga Yoshiki sighed and knew that he was thinking too much.  , after all, we cannot expect Mitsuhide Akechi to kill the 15,000 army with 3,000 men, not to mention that there are still 10,000 troops of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu south of Katsuragi River, as well as several defenders of Fushimiyama Castle, Shogunyama Castle, and Nakao Castle.  On the other hand, all it takes is an encirclement and everything is over. The miracles of the Fukakusa and Katsuragi battles can be repeated again and again. The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is difficult to replicate, regardless of the situation, the timing, and the response strategies of the generals of the two armies.  Even if there is the slightest deviation, it will not achieve the wonderful effect of the original version. After all, Akechi Mitsuhide is not Ashikaga Yoshitoki, and the current situation may not be the same miracle even if it is changed to Ashikaga Yoshitoki. The gap between 3,000 and 60,000 is too big, it is impossible  Win the fight.  After sorting out the bad mood of bitterness, annoyance and despair, Ashikaga Yoshiki seemed to have become more mature, and said with a smile: "What Iwami Morden wants is nothing more than the little inheritance I have retained! I can give you three  When he handed the sword over to Yoshiki, he told him not to forget his identity as an Ashikaga clan and not to live up to Yu's expectations for him. " After that, he waved his hand and the maid came over with three swords. These three swords were those of Doji Kiri Yasutsuna.  , Onimaru Kunizuna, Mikazuki Munechika, Doji Kiri Yasutsuna, also known as Spider Kiri, is the sword of Minamoto Yorimitsu, the ancestor of the Settsu Genji in the middle of the Heian period. He once used this sword to kill Shuten Doji, and then killed and transformed into a monk.  It is named after the spider's knee, so it also has an alias, which is the famous Knee Kiri, which happens to be paired with Onikiri as the two famous swords of Qing and Genji to defend the world.  Compared with the great reputation of this famous sword, Onimaru Kunitsuna is much less famous. This sword was owned by Hojo Tokimasa, the first generation of the Kamakura shogunate. It is said that he encountered a ghost haunting him in his dream and used it to kill him.  It was used to kill monsters and later became a famous sword passed down from generation to generation in the Hojo Tokuso family. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it fell into the hands of Nitta Yosada and Ashikaga Takauji, and it has been collected by the Ashikaga Shogun family for more than two hundred years.  The least famous sword is Mikazuki Munechika.  According to legend, this tachi was made by a swordsmith named Munechika in the middle of the Heian period. It lived in exile for hundreds of years without any well-known legends, and it was never held by a powerful samurai. It was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties that it was collected by the Ashikaga Shogun family.  The status is almost the same as that of Fudo National Bank, which is a family treasure on the same level.  "Speaking of which, I should be grateful to Yoshitoki for his tireless assistance over the years. Without Yoshitoki's hard work in Kyoto, there would be no shogunate today. Without the glory of Kanto, I would not have lived a peaceful life in Nijo Imperial Palace for more than ten years" Ashikaga Yoshiteru  He sighed: "I have always been unwilling to admit that my skills are inferior to others, but now I still have to say that Yoshitoki is indeed a very, very good warrior, even better than Yu imagined, and he may be called the best in the world.  Samurai is more appropriate!" Mibuchi Fujihide reminded awkwardly: "Your Majesty, aren't you the best samurai in the world? You are the great general of the Gen clan!" Ashikaga Yoshiki knows the secret thoughts of the ministers.  Hehe smiled and said: "That's right, that's why Yu has always been unwilling to admit that he is inferior to him! Today, the shogunate is like the sunset, and Yu will take this opportunity to transfer the title of the best warrior in the world to  Righteous" Hattori's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "I have an unkind request, and I would like to boldly ask His Highness to leave some calligraphy treasures so that His Highness can clear up the injustice in the future." "I know you.  You meanyou still want to seek that status for your master, right? Sure enough! Are you trying to get Yu's position? Sure enough" Ashikaga Yoshiki laughed loudly, smiling so relaxedly and without any pressure.  Tears quietly streaked down their cheeks without even realizing it. The ministers knelt on the ground with their eyes as red and swollen as goldfish bubbles. The young warrior quietly wiped away his tears, feeling aggrieved by what happened to the general.  Ashikaga Yoshiteru ordered his retainers to fetch the four treasures of the study, but found that Yubi had died in front of the battle. In his eagerness, he could not find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so he had to cut half of the sleeves from Ashikaga Yoshiteru's white hunting clothes and dip them in the blood stains flowing from his body.  To refer to the pen.  He wrote a blood letter with more than a hundred words. At the end, he did not forget to take out the copper seal and meticulously put his own monogram on it.  "This is an irregular royal letter, but it is the last letter left in the world. No matter what, it should be left as a souvenir for future generations. I hope you will take care of yourself"  Hattori Chief is still leaving.  , and hurriedly left the Nijo Imperial Palace with a dozen remaining swordsmen. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't even have a chance to leave.  The latest intelligence has developed in the worst direction. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu saw the right opportunity and mobilized ten thousand troops to enter Kyoto. In the name of protecting Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he seized control of the Miyoshi Army and at the same time successfully forced Akechi Mitsuhide back.  Cizhao Temple.  At this time, even if Ashikaga Yoshiki wanted to escape, he would have no chance.  The retainers of the shogunate still guarded the Nijo Imperial Palace and were unwilling to leave. Even if they left these twoThe Imperial Palace really didn¡¯t know where else to go. They always hated the hypocritical and ambitious Ashikaga Yoshiki, and even more hated the unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust Ashikaga Yoshiaki. They fled outside the city to survive and were pointed at the spine and cursed.  It would be better to die together in these two palaces than to die together.  "The military drums are beating again, Iwami Shoden really doesn't deceive me!" Ashikaga Yoshiki laughed and said: "Bring the wine! I want to have the last drink with you, and then we will meet again under the underworld.  "Regardless of the filth on the ground, Settsu Haruto knelt down with his family members and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, His Highness, for the gift!" Ashikaga Yoshiki raised his head and drank another glass.  He drank it all in one gulp and then said, "I have done a lot of evil and wrong things in my life! I really have no chance to go to the Western Heaven to enjoy the pure land of bliss, but my mother has been compassionate throughout her life, always abided by the rules, fasted and vegetarian.  I will be reborn in the Paradise of Paradise! That¡¯s why I won¡¯t give this wine to my mother!¡± Qingshouyuan shook his head and said, ¡°The poor nun has been living in a haze for the past twenty years, only busy eating and chanting Buddha to gain peace of mind, but he also talks about it.  No matter how much good deeds have been accumulated, I will eventually accompany your father to the lower world. " At this time, the gate of the imperial palace was opened again, and thousands of Miyoshi troops came swarming. Matsunaga was very careful to send out the iron artillery team and the ashigaru.  A mixed combination of teams broke into the Imperial Palace and fired a few random shots to cheer themselves up. As soon as the Sanhao Army arrived, the remaining Feng Gongzhong rushed into the formation to fight without saying a word. They didn't last long.  Disappear into the array.  Ashikaga Yoshiteru retreated to the Imperial Palace with more than a dozen minor surnames and a group of important ministers and family members, and then ordered the maids: "The bloody fight with swords and shadows is really indecent. Take your mother and the Jinshi's wife to the side hall to take refuge! The last thing I want is not to die.  It's suitable for you to see." Qingjuin refused: "What's not to see! I saw a lot of dead samurai just now." Ashikaga Yoshiki actually didn't want his mother to die because he knew the other side.  There is Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the formation.  I believe that no matter how stupid this stupid kid is, he will not be so crazy as to attack his mother. Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, the three Miyoshis, Matsunagahide and others have no reason to provoke an old nun who has been celibate for many years. This is his son.  The only thing that can be done is filial piety.  Keijuin was unwilling to submit, so Ashikaga Yoshiki used the reason that women should not interfere in men's affairs, and forced the maids to escort Keijuin from the back door of the Imperial Palace to the side hall.  And sent it over, although I don¡¯t know if the little attendant can successfully give birth to the child.  There is always a glimmer of hope for him to keep this flame alive. Men must die when they die and women cannot die with them.  The samurai who retreated into the castle closed the four doors tightly and put up a desperate resistance in the fight between trapped beasts. At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiaki also came to the outside of the castle on a shoulder cart and shouted loudly to Ashikaga Yoshiki in the castle.  Said: "Brother, I am here, please listen to my brother! Today, the country is in danger and the mountains and rivers are hanging upside down. The Kanto Kingdoms, the source of the world's troubles, have been conquered by the villain Ashikaga Yoshiki. I heard about Ashikaga Yoshiki and often have the intention of changing heirs and seizing the throne.  ! This man is a tiger and wolf. He claims to be a shogun in Kanto and has established many institutions to exercise arbitrary power. So far, the Eastern Kingdom only knows Ashikaga Yoshi and does not know that there is a shogun. I don't know why my brother tolerates and allows this villain to take over.  However, I always had a desire to revitalize the shogunate, so I decided to boldly ask for the position of general when my brother had no heir. I am willing to inherit the position of general of Zhengyi as my adopted son, and I will not forget my brother's legacy when I work hard in the future.  "What a kindness!" Across the door, Ashikaga Yoshiki sneered: "Listening to what you said, you can tell that your hypocrisy doesn't give in to Ashikaga Yoshitoki! It's not as good as Ashikaga Yoshitoki's contribution to our shogunate. You haven't done anything yet."  He has no human heart, but he dares to claim that he represents the people of the world and the government and the country to replace him. As a puppet of the Sanhao family, he is content to ignore the great hatred of his late father, Wan Songyuan Palace, and he only plans to usurp the throne and does not hesitate to use the army.  Come on, this is an unfaithful, unjust, unfilial, and disloyal person!" "Hmph!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki's teeth were itching with hatred, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he simply waved his sleeves and retreated to his carriage, closing his eyes and concentrating.  Miyoshi Changyi immediately urged the attack with understanding, and then the golden drums sounded and the killing sound resumed, and the arrows and iron cannons crackled like the wind and rain beating the imperial palace.  After a while of attacking, the shogunate simply huddled in the imperial palace and could not get out.  Every exit was blocked by debris, and it was difficult for the Miyoshi army to attack and entered into a stalemate, so the three armies ceased their activities and Ashikaga Yoshiaki stepped down again.  He said: "Brother, is there something big going to happen tomorrow? Ashikaga Yoshitoki will definitely become a big trouble for the shogunate. This thief will not get rid of the shogunate. My brother indulges him for his own selfishness, but forgets all the laws and regulations of the country's foundation. This is  Is this a call for the shogun to fulfill his duty? " At this time, it was dark in the evening, and a black cloud covered the sky and came from the southwest. The three good soldiers lit torches to illuminate the dark night sky.The four gates inside were closed for final resistance, but the Miyoshi army was very embarrassed. The dog bit the hedgehog and could not bite it. The Miyoshi and the three people discussed for a long time and did not dare to act rashly. Ashikaga Yoshiaki continued to persuade them to surrender.  Ashikaga Yoshiaki paced anxiously and continued: "Although I have no fame or merit, I have an innocent heart that cares about the safety of the shogunate. With this sincerity, why should my brother insist on not abdicating his position?  How about we just leave the imperial palace and follow the normal laws. Although I am not talented, I can restrain the three armies from rash actions. I am willing to guarantee that the lives of the princes are not violated, and the original territory should be secured. "  I didn't want to hide in the Imperial Palace, but there was a burst of laughter, and then I heard Ashikaga Yoshiki sneer: "In ancient times, there were five rebellions, killing fathers and mothers, slandering Buddha and destroying temples, but now there are those who kill brothers and destroy kings, and rebel and usurp the throne! Ashikaga!  Yiqiu! I asked you if you have a code of etiquette in your heart. Do you know how difficult the shogunate inherited from your grandfather is? If you want to destroy the 200-year-old foundation of my shogunate with your own selfishness, you are a villain of my Ashikaga family!  Come in and sit on the general's throne!" "It's stupid, keep attacking!" Ashikaga Yoshiaki waved his hands and left.  Matsunagahide raised his head and saw dark clouds coming from the distant mountains like a black tide. From time to time, thunder could be seen flashing and rolling, as if containing astonishing destructive power. He couldn't help but anxiously urged: "A heavy rain will hit soon. We must do it as soon as possible."  Hurry up!¡± Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also came to the front of the battle at this time, urging the attack on the grounds that it was already too late and the attack could not be carried out for a long time. Several pressures fell on the front line general Matsunaga Michi, forcing him to send out iron cannons.  The team quickly gathered into a row and knelt down to take aim, no more than ten steps away from the imperial palace gate. The anxious Matsunaga was holding a tachi and personally supervising the battle.  The effect of the general's personal suppression of the formation was extraordinary. The iron cannon team lit the match ropes and loaded ammunition a few minutes faster. Matsuzuki Nagamichi raised his sword and pointed forward and shouted loudly: "Shoot!" The iron cannons roared like firecrackers, and white smoke fell everywhere.  Amidst the diffuse, golden-red light and smoke, one could faintly hear screams and screams, as well as angry curses, but Matsunaga couldn't care less. He waved his sword like a frustrated gambler and shouted: "Don't stop!  "Fire!" "Hurry up! Shoot!" The five hundred iron cannon ashigaru lined up in five rows, and the experienced iron cannon ashigaru quickly entered the array.  Half-crouching, aiming and firing, the withdrawn iron cannon ashigaru retreated to the back row to clean the barrel and load ammunition. Everything was orderly, showing that the Miyoshi Army had put a lot of effort into iron artillery training in the past ten years.  In the evening when the storm was about to come, every samurai was in an anxious mood tortured by the hot and humid climate. The clothes in his body were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. In the hot summer, wearing leather anklets was more uncomfortable than being stabbed. Many samurai  He felt that what he was wearing was not armor at all, but a set of torture instruments. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Matsu Nagasaki's military orders became more and more uncomfortable. Regardless of the sweat on his head, it flowed down his face and throat to the skirt of his clothes, and shouted the order in a voice as hoarse as a broken gong: "Shoot!"
