Chapter 140: Major Events in the World (Part II)
After having Oda Nobunaga's comparison, Ashikaga Yoshiki felt that although the Kuroda family was also very ambitious, at least on the surface, they would still show due respect for themselves and the Muromachi shogunate, which was very important, after all, it was about the dignity of the shogunate.

And this Oda Nobunaga said before that it was very good, to help himself restore his authority in Kamiraku, after Kamiraku, although the Oda family rebuilt the Nijo Imperial Palace for themselves, but also paid for the repair of the dilapidated Imperial Palace.
Renovating the Imperial Palace and asserting the imperial power, coupled with the Gojo document now submitted to him, Ashikaga Yoshiteru now knows very well that this is a very clear signal from Oda Nobunaga that he wants to strengthen the influence of the imperial power in the Wa Kingdom, and at the same time weaken the authority of the shogunate he represents.
At least at this time, although the shogunate has completely lost control of the Wa Kingdom, after all, it still has some prestige and can influence some figures. Now Oda Nobunaga is going to use these actions to clearly tell Ashikaga Yoshiteru that he wants to eliminate the rule of the Muromachi shogunate as much as possible.
After the world is decided, all the etiquette is carried out by the general, and it is very good, but these are just Oda Nobunaga's words, this arrogant and domineering young man, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sense is not good, and even makes him miss Kuroda Vocational High School a little.
The devil knows what will happen to himself and the shogunate if Oda Nobunaga gets the world in the end, and it is estimated that he will be killed! Ashikaga Yoshiteru thought.
However, Ashikaga Yoshiki has no way now, Kyoto is completely under the hands of Oda Nobunaga, just in Kyoto and the surroundings, there are 10,000 soldiers of the Oda family stationed, and Hosokawa Fujitaka, who has seen the elite of the Kuroda family, told Ashikaga Yoshiki that these soldiers and the elite of the Kuroda family can fight, and it is definitely not that only a thousand shogunate troops can resist now.
Ashikaga Yoshiki believed Hosokawa Fujitaka's words, so he knew that Oda Nobunaga's soldiers should indeed be able to fight with the Kuroda family.
However, although Ashikaga Yoshiteru likes martial arts, he is not stupid, he knows the situation he is facing now, and there is no possibility for him to bring down this careerist until Oda Nobunaga makes a big mistake. Ashikaga Yoshiteru chose to be patient until his opportunity presented himself at some point in the future, and all he had to do now was accumulate his strength.
On April 20, the Oda family's 30,000 troops were assembled in Kyoto, and then they went to Wakasa, because Naito Ruan had already obtained Nosaka Castle in Wakasa Province, so the Oda family was different from the historical attack on the Asakura family, and the Oda family took the path of Wakasa Province. And in a few days, most of the wealthy clans of Wakasa Kingdom were subjugated. And in this process, Naito Ruan, who has made great contributions, also obtained the rank of serving the general.
On April 27, the Oda army in the Echizen expedition received news of Asai Nagamasa's betrayal, and the whole army retreated. History has not changed, the Battle of Kanegasaki still happened, and the army of Kinoshita Toyoshiro of the Oda army in charge of the palace retreated from Kanegasaki.
On June 4, Shibata Katsuie defeated the Rokkaku Army at Chokoji Castle. (This battle is the origin of Shibata Katsuya's reputation as "Cutting Bottle Shibata.") )
On June 28, in the Battle of Sister River, the Oda army defeated the Asai Asakura coalition army.
On September 12, Ishiyama Honganji raised troops against Oda Nobunaga.
Throughout the twelfth year of Eiroku, Oda Nobunaga became the brightest star of the Warring States.
In August of the second year of Motokame (1571 AD), Mori Mototo died of illness at Kuroda Castle at the age of 75. This time is two months later than the 14th of June in history, and it is the result of the all-out efforts of the entire Enryakuji sect to save the people.
Later, the Kuroda family held a funeral for Mori Motoji at the Rinzai temple outside the castle, and his body was buried in the temple. The presiding officer of this temple is the enlightenment teacher of Kuroda Vocational High School, Monk Enkiyo.
On September 12, in order to consolidate his power in Kinai, Oda Nobunaga broke the Nobunaga siege network established by the Echizen Asakura family and the Omi Asai family (the siege network was mainly composed of the Asakura family, the Asai family, Honganji, Nagashima Kanshoji Temple, the remnants of the Rokkaku family, and some wealthy clans and countrymen who opposed the Oda family), and at the same time, it was also to kill chickens and monkeys and avenge the death of his younger brother in Nagashima. Oda Nobunaga ordered an attack on Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, which was considered a sacred place for Buddhism at the time (it was clear that the Tsuyoji was an enemy, how innocent Enryakuji was), and set fire to the temple, killing thousands of monks and women.
This behavior is very bad, and Buddhism has always been dominant in the Wa Kingdom, even in the modern Wa Kingdom, and the Buddha also occupies an extremely important position in the lives of the people.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga, who had previously won the title of "Enemy of the Buddha", won the title of "Sixth Heavenly Demon King", and this title in history was the result of Oda Nobunaga's own self-proclaimed correspondence between Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga, which deviated from the historical situation.
However, Oda Nobunaga, who has obtained a new title, has obtained a new class growth attribute bonus because he has obtained a new advanced class, as well as new attribute points and powerful skills, okay! None of these.
However, Oda Nobunaga's act of burning Mt. Hiei really made all the people in the world have a new understanding of him, know his boldness, know that he does not conform to rules, and know his courage to dare to destroy everything.
And Oda Nobunaga's behavior angered Takeda Shingen, who believed in the Tendai sect, and Sister Uesugi, who took righteousness as her own responsibility, and strengthened their determination to go to Raku.
On October 12, just as the autumn harvest was drawing to a close and it was almost considered the time to go into battle, the Takeda family took action. Because the Tokugawa family's army, which was an ally of the Oda family, was still in the area, in the face of the Takeda family's unannounced attack and hasty response, the Tokugawa family was almost defeated. In just two days, the only bit of land in Suruga Province that the Tokugawa family had was owned by the Takeda family.
On October 15, the Takeda family broke into Ene Province with Baba Nobuharu as the spearhead, and 5,000 people formed a stalemate under Kakegawa Castle, and then under the strategy of Sanada Yutaka, lured the defender Uemura Iecun out of the city to fight, and then ambushed the troops everywhere, and the Uemura family survived the battle to the death, but Kakegawa Castle was also in danger.
Under these circumstances, Matsudaira Kiyomune, the banner leader of the Tokugawa clan who remained in Enoe Province, led Fukushima of the High Tenjin, Amano of Inui, Iio of Suima, Matsui of Futsumata, and Ii of Iiya to launch tactics similar to guerrilla warfare against the Takeda family, and finally resisted the attack of the Takeda family.
