The Awa country has one more thing to talk about, and the public side of the Hirashima Pavilion was slapped in the face by Hagiwara Minoru at the door of his house, and what is even more strange is that Hagiwara Minoru died on the way back when he went back, and the minions who went with him swore that the other party's goal was very clear.

The objects involved in the discussion, one is the famous public Ashikaga Yoshiwei, and the other is not simple, but the younger brother of the powerful minister Hagiwara Nagafang, Ogiwara Minoru. A little bit of gore and bizarre things always make people a little more interested.

What's even more interesting is that Ogiwara Minoru is dead, according to common sense, it is not difficult to guess who killed him, but the whole Hirashimakan denied that they did it, which is bizarre, according to common sense, Hirashimakan's revenge on the killer is too obvious.

The more obvious things are, the more people think that there must be something hidden in them. Exploring the secret is everyone's interest, and all kinds of news spread among the gossip of the samurai circle, and then inadvertently spread to the people, and all of a sudden, the undercurrent of Awa was surging.

Ashikaga Yoshinori heard the news of the killing of Ogiwara Mininaga on the second day of the destruction of the Hirashima Pavilion, originally thinking that his two sons were young and vigorous to do stupid things, Ashikaga Yoshikatsu and Ashikaga Yoshisuke swore an oath, coupled with the testimony of Kan Dingnao, to prove that neither of them left the Hirashima Pavilion. The news that came later made him feel even more worried, as if an invisible hand behind his back was pushing him into the abyss, and this unknown feeling made his heart panic.

Outside the dilapidated gate of the Hirashima Pavilion, there stood a man who looked like a samurai, wearing a hat and not showing his true face, and a pair of eyes constantly examining the dilapidated nature of the Hirashima Pavilion from under the hat. There was no hint of surprise in his eyes. His clothes were covered with dust. The paint on the scabbard has also peeled off. Probably a long journey here. His straw sandals were in tatters.

He pinched the edge of the hat with one hand, came to the front of the Pingdao Pavilion, and saluted a servant with a bruised face: "These little brothers, please report to Qianhanoi, and say that the old man asks to see him." "Qian Dingzhi is from Hanoi, and people close to him call him Qianhanoi.

The slave could hear a dialect of, and asked to see Qiandingzhi, but he hesitated. He bowed and said, "My lord, please take off the hat, this is the residence of the Awa Princess." At the end, his face was so blue that I couldn't see his expression.

The samurai nodded slightly, unpacking the hat's bag. The hat was revealed, revealing the face of a samurai full of vicissitudes. The servant exclaimed at once, "This ...... You...... Could it be that the lord of Kuramoto Castle, Mino Ogura Mamoru Shigenobu, are you not? ”

The samurai straightened his gray hair, shook his head weakly, and said, "There are often people who mistake him for Minomoru, but he is from Awa, and I am from Hanoi. Please also inform me. In Qianhanoi, it is said that the old man asks to see. He knew who was asking for the meeting. ”

The slave did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed the samurai seal in.

Qiandingzhi talked secretly with the samurai all night, and hurriedly informed Ashikaga Yoshiwei of the samurai's intention, and Ashikaga Yoshiwei listened to Qiandingzhi's report, his face was not very good-looking, but a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes from time to time still couldn't hide Qiandingzhi's eyes.

Ashikaga Yoshino was tempted.

The Muromachi shogun, who had been very, very close to that position, had ended up losing at the last step, knowing that it was a tempting position, and that his life had been ruined. But he still pursued it tirelessly.

But this is another dangerous place, like walking on thin ice, the slightest mistake, the head falls to the ground, the body is ruined, and there is no place to bury the dead, and it will be written into the book as a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and let thousands of generations scold it. He suddenly looked at his two sons, who were sitting at the bottom of the table.

Ogiwara Minoru is dead, and everyone knows the mystery of his death, and reasonable people think that Hirashimakan is wronged, but if the murderer cannot be traced, reasonable people will become irrational. The day of Miyoshi's victory is the day he is finished.

Ashikaga Yoshinori believes that once Miyoshi Nagakei achieves the final victory, Miyoshi Minoru will return to Awa Province, and Hagiwara Nagabo, who followed him to fight, will obviously return, and then Ogiwara Minenaga's death will be brought up again, and no one will remember that it was Ogiwara Minoru who provoked him first, and no one will remember the strangeness of Hagiwara's death, and only someone will jump out and fall into the well.

The source is that Miyoshi Changqing can't win, as long as Miyoshi Changqing fails, Miyoshi Shixiu is likely to lose his life, and Ogiwara Nagafang will have no backer, and a lot of people will offend, so naturally someone will teach him a hard lesson. Wanting to cut off the source, Ashikaga Yoshiki originally had no way.

Now, someone has offered an opportunity, a chance that will be enough to turn the tables. Ashikaga Yoshiki hesitated for a while, and immediately strengthened his faith, between life and death, he chose to survive, and when he escaped from Kinai and came to Awa to commit suicide, Hosokawa Yumochi persuaded him, leaving Aoyama without worrying about running out of firewood.

If you want to save your life, the only way is to directly bulldoze the three good Changqing party and eliminate them all. Ashikaga Yoshiki sorted out the clues, finally calmed down, and considered one thing, whether to go into battle himself or let his two sons go out.

After much thought, the last shred of Ashikaga Yoshinori told him that he couldn't put everything in one basket, and he made the decision to have his eldest son, Ashikaga Yoshikatsu, follow the samurai from Hanoi to the war-torn Kinai.

Some time before the story took place in the country of Awa.

Hashimoto Masamatsu and Shimoma Yoriren talked about the covenant between Honganji and the Date family three times, but they were delayed for one reason or another, and finally Hashimoto Masamatsu privately told Shimoma Yoriren that many people in the Date family were worried that if they reached an alliance with Honganji, they would cut themselves off from the Muromachi shogunate, and eventually if Honganji failed, they would be dragged into the water.

Shimoma Yoriren naturally swore that the final victory would definitely belong to Honganji, and said that he was tricked by Date Masahiro, and Hashimoto Masamatsu finally told him that if Honganji could be approved by the shogun, then he would persuade his lord to sign an alliance.

Shimoma Yoriren was stupid and was recognized by the shogun. Now the two opposing shoguns, Ashikaga Yoshiteru of Tsuruga live in Echizen Province, and Asakura Yoshikei, the guardian of Echizen Province, is a brother-in-law with his own boss. But let that persistent Ashikaga Yoshiki come forward to endorse. It's not that simple. And Ashikaga Yoshiaki of Yamashiro. Ben is the puppet of Miyoshi Chokei, and is actively contacting various temples in Mt. Hiei and Nara to form an alliance to defeat Honganji.

It's not that there are no smart people in Honganji, naturally Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Ashikaga Yoshiaki are not coming, so what are Honganji birds doing, it's better to directly push a general out, isn't it better. The monks of Honganji suddenly spread their minds and made a list of people.

In fact, there are not many candidates. That is, three or two, Ashikaga Yoshiki and Ashikaga Yoshiaki's younger brother Zhou Wei were excluded first, and then the depressed Ashikaga Yoshiki was left. Once you have chosen a candidate, then you must quietly enter the village, and do not shoot anyone.

No one knows how the riots caused by Honganji will end, but the monks of Honganji do not want to see the end of the Nichiren sect more than 20 years ago.

The first year of Eiroku can be said to be a catastrophe in Kinai, and for the Muromachi shogunate, it was more like a war between brothers. When Ashikaga Yoshiki and Ashikaga Yoshiaki were in a quarrel, Ashikaga Yoshikatsu, the sister-in-law of Ashikaga Yoshino, changed his name to Ashikaga Yoshiei and was appointed as the general of Seiyi in Sakai Town. He was apparently the shogun who was pushed out by Honganji Temple to fight Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the ring.

One door and three generals, the general of Zhengyi has become the cheapest signboard. However, when people refer to Ashikaga Yoshiei, they always refer to him as Sakai Gongkata, just as Ashikaga Yoshiaki is called Tsuruga Gongkata, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who lives on the banks of the Yodo River, is Yodokata.

When Ashikaga Yoshiei was proclaimed shogun in Sakai Port, Tennojiya, who had the background of the Date family, provided the construction of a catapult, and Shimoma Yoriteru, who had been guiding Izumi Kunichi in his career, immediately erected it outside Kishiwada Castle as a treasure.

On November 13, the siege of Kishiwada Castle had been going on for two months, and the city defense was still in the hands of Shihe Yicun, who firmly believed that there would be no problem even if he held it for another half a year. Ten rivers and Ichicun suddenly saw the mob outside the city gather again.

The veteran Yu Zuo Xiusheng suddenly shouted: "Hou Zhouzhou, what is that?" "Ten rivers and one official name are disrespectful, and the people of the Sanhao family respectfully call him the Marquis of Sanzhou. At this time, seeing the chaos of the mob outside the city, it seemed that many structures had been carried to the front line, and then huge catapults were assembled under their noses.

Twenty huge catapults appeared outside Kishiwada Castle for the first time, Tsuda Soda only provided one catapult, and the imitation ability of the Japanese people was still quite strong, Shimoma Yoriteru not only made twenty shoddy catapults before the war, but also increased and thickened a lot in some aspects, making them more bulky, but they didn't have much else, just a lot of people, shoulder-to-shoulder, and finally pulled the twenty catapults to the front of Kishiwada Castle, and put a load of heavy stones on the basket.

Shihe Ichicun stared at the twenty catapults and replied in a deep voice: "This should be a catapult, I heard that Date Masahiro took it out of the old paper basket, it seems that it is rumored that Honganji and the Date family colluded to be true, and it is troublesome." ”

Yu Saxiu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Hou Zhouzhou, such a huge catapult should be able to throw a boulder hundreds of steps away, and the outer buildings of Kishiwada Castle are afraid that they will not be able to withstand many attacks, or they will bring people to burn the catapult." ”

Zuo Xiusheng naturally saw the weakness of the catapults, they were bulky and flammable, as long as they broke up the thugs around the catapults, they could be easily destroyed, Shihe Yicun also knew this truth, but he shook his head and said: "There are only a thousand defenders in the city today, even if these twenty catapults are burned today, what should we do tomorrow?" Don't you see that they're all shoddy? ”

Shihe Ichicun said calmly: "The troops stationed in Mimaru will withdraw to Nimaru immediately, and they will be about to throw stones." "Tokawa Ichiku's guess was right, when the last Miyoshi Army soldier to defend the city withdrew to Nimaru, Shimoma Yoriteru personally cut the rope of the first catapult.

A large stone roared over the crowd and flew towards the outskirts of the deserted Kishiwada Castle, and in the midst of the cheers and inhalations of the people, it smashed a section of the castle tower, and the huge force of the impact smashed a section of the wooden castle tower.

Lai Zhao was overjoyed and shouted: "Smash, smash me!" Turning back to Suzuki Shigehide, who was also excited, he said: "Suzuki, wait a while, take advantage of the enemy's retreat and immediately occupy the outer fortifications for me, hum, with such a sharp weapon, why worry that the shore and Tian Castle will not be broken?" ”

Shigehide Suzuki obviously didn't expect the catapult to be so violent, his eyes stared straight at Kishiwada Castle, and nineteen stones flew out again, Kishiwada Castle is a big city, the target is big, and the natural accuracy is also quite accurate, almost every one of them hit the target.

When Suzuki Shigehide saw this scene, the blood in his heart seemed to be gushing out, he raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Zaga people, rush with me, and kill the enemy of the Buddha!" With his shout, 2,000 newly formed Saga tribes under his leadership began to charge towards Kishiwada Castle.

Originally, the Saga people were divided into several teams, among which the Suzuki family was the largest, and the number was only five or six hundred, and there were about five thousand people at the peak of history, which shows how lucrative the manufacture of iron cannons is.

Now, Shigehide Suzuki has taken advantage of the outbreak to recruit a group of daredevils from the disciples of Kii Province and form a group of Saga people who have left a great reputation. The Battle of Kishiwada Castle was the first and significant of the newly formed Saga clan.

Tokawa Ichiku also never thought that the power of the catapult would be so great, and he couldn't figure out why the Date family would give such a militaristic weapon to Honganji, and he shouted angrily: "Damn Date Masato, what should I do next?" He has always been steady, and he is also starting to panic.

Yusa Hidemori suddenly shouted: "The enemy is out of battle, it's Kii's group of miscellaneous people." If we continue like this, we will be defeated, and as long as Honganji pulls the catapult in step by step, it will also smash us to death, and the Marquis of Sanzhou, please think of a way, how to break the enemy formation. ”

There was a faint hint of panic in Shihe Yicun's eyes, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to defend the shore and Tian City if he went down again, so he clenched his fists and said: "Wait a while, I will personally go and burn the catapult, you do a good job, I am afraid that the shore and Tian City will not be able to hold it, if you can't come back, abandon the city." ”

Zuo Xiusheng looked up in amazement, he never thought that the always strong Shihe Yicun would say such words, he stopped: "Marquis of Shanzhou, since this is the case, then first repel them, and then leave at night, the sea is still controlled by us." ”

On November 15, Kishiwada Castle fell, and the army led by Sahidemori boarded and evacuated. Honganji suddenly came to the spirit, and not only was the victory of the Wa Izumi flag, but the country of Hanoi finally fell in mid-December. (To be continued......)
