There are ships in Sakai Port, and there are quite a few ships. The Izumi Province was nominally under the control of Ishiyama Honganji, but Sakai Port did not succumb to the force of Ishiyama Honganji, and from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Ashikaga period, it had been engaged in free trade with the ships of the Ming Dynasty and the Western region, and at the same time accumulated a large amount of wealth, and to defend it, it was natural to need a strong force. In order to defend their interests, the merchants of Sakai Port organized the 36 great merchants into a collegiate system of the 36 people of Sakai, and the area became a kind of autonomous city.

Ashikaga Yoshiei lives in Myokokuji Temple near Sakai Port, and the only reason why he wants to live in Sakai Port is that he does not want to be bound by Ishiyama Honganji Temple and maintain a kind of spiritual independence. The reason for living in Myokokuji is that his father lived in Myokokuji when he stayed in Sakai Port, and his stay in Myokokuji represents the return of their branch.

The reason why Ashikaga Yoshiei agreed to go to Kinai to become a puppet at the mercy of Ishiyama Honganji was to rely on the ability of Ishiyama Honganji to sit in the position of the general of Seiji, so that their decades-long wish could be realized. He has a lot of faith in himself. He often indulges in fantasies and self-anesthetizes, using self-anesthetization to escape the harshness of reality.

The bronze bell that has not been ringing for many years in Sakai Port suddenly strikes violently, instantly tearing through the darkness and waking up Ashikaga Yoshiei from his sleep. Something happened, and the wealthy Ashikaga Yoshiei knew that the bronze bell in the center of Sakai Port was usually guarded, and no one would ring it to play. Ashikaga Yoshiei was sleepy-eyed and ignorant, and staggered to his clothes.

The clash of weapons and shouts came from far and near, as if they were still in his ears, and slammed into Ashikaga Yoshiei's heart. Let him suddenly sober up from his ignorance. Someone braved the world's condemnation to attack Sakai Port. He opened his mouth and let out a shout. Then he flew out of the house.

Outside, it was as bright as day, and the sky was half red by the glow of the fire, and the smoke was billowing into the sky, and the air was filled with a scorching, biting smell of burning. Ashikaga Yoshiei looked at the place where the fire broke out in horror, and opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Yagi Suruga Mamoru who had been sent by Ishiyama Honganji Temple to guard Ashikaga Yoshiei ran in with a charred face, panting, and ran into the courtyard and went straight to the pond. Regardless of the cold, he picked up ice water and poured it on his face, making him look embarrassed. After a long while, he spoke, saying, "The Miyoshi Army is the troops of the Miyoshi Army, and they have already broken through the Kongo Temple. It is dangerous here, and the public is requested to take shelter in a safe place as soon as possible. ”

Sakai Port was originally a city that never sleeps, and there were many night guards around it, but the incident happened suddenly. In the middle of the night, the fire was too big. The number of soldiers who patrolled the night was small, and they were no match for the Miyoshi Army, who came prepared, and they were suddenly breached by Kongoji Temple, the West Gate of Sakai Port.

Miyoshi Minoru stepped into Kongoji Temple, looking at the corpses in the temple, his eyes were cold, since he had already moved, then let this fire burn more vigorously, he looked at Myokokuji Temple not far away, and ordered: "Don't let Ashikaga Yoshiei escape." ”

The soldiers raised their broadswords and spears and shouted "Kill, charge!" "They rushed to Myokokuji Temple, Yagi Suruga Mamoru knew that the Miyoshi Army was originally coming for Ashikaga Yoshiei, and when he wanted to dodge, he found that the surroundings of Myokokuji Temple had fallen into the encirclement of the Miyoshi Army.

Shoichi Yagi Suruga grabbed Ashikaga Yoshiei, turned around and came to the backyard, pointed to a dry well and said, "Gongfang, I have wronged you first, let you take refuge in the well for a while!" With that, despite Ashikaga Yoshiei's objections, he pushed him into a dry well.

Yagi Suruga Mamoru shouted at the dry well: "Gongfang, bear with me for a while, don't make a sound!" As he spoke, he pulled out his naginata, pointed to the back door and shouted, "Gongfang, go!" Then he pulled a random boy over, gathered some guards and went to the back door.

Ten rivers Ichicun had already rushed to Myokokuji Temple, and seeing the shouts of Yagi Suruga Mamoru, he led the team to rush to the back door with great momentum. Yagi Suruga Mamoru knew that it was the enemy coming, he also brandished a sword and rushed towards the enemy, chanting "Nan no Amitabha" to pray for the blessing of the Buddha, just recited it twice, and saw that the spear in Tokawa Ichicun's hand had pierced his neck, and with a snort, his hand turned, his head left his body, and blood spurted.

Ten rivers and one cun shouted wildly: "Kill!" "A group of soldiers swarmed up, swords and guns at the same time, bloody killing, and in the blink of an eye, there was no more life.

The boy was also killed, who knew that he had seen Ashikaga Yoshiei on the side, and when he saw that the frightened young man's miserable face was not someone he knew, he knew that he had been deceived, and shouted loudly: "Ashikaga Yoshiei is still in the temple, search for me, and find out a reward." ”

In the dry well, Ashikaga Yoshiei hurt a leg when he fell, the pain was unbearable, and he heard the sound of shouting and killing from the well, and he desperately covered his mouth and nose to prevent himself from making a sound, knowing that once the officers and soldiers of the Miyoshi Army knew where they were hiding, they would inevitably die.

Ashikaga Yoshiei pinned his hopes on Mamoru Yagi Suruga to attract the attention of the Miyoshi army, and waited for the help of the nearby Ishiyama Honganji Temple, as long as the Ishiyama Honganji Temple sent troops to help, he would be able to expel the Miyoshi thieves from Sakai Port, and then he would have a place to live.

Shihe Yicun did not give up the search, and soon searched the dry well, there are not many places to hide in the Miaokoku Temple, the dry well is one, he lay at the mouth of the well and looked inside, the black and swarthy could not see clearly, turned back to his subordinates and shouted: "Throw a torch in." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiei was desperate, how did he not know that he had been discovered, he watched in a daze as the torch fell into the well, and then looked at each other, he had lost the will to live, and the god of fate ruthlessly sent him to hell, and death was just around the corner.

Shihe Yicun laughed: "Ashikaga Yoshiko, don't come unharmed, let's come up obediently!" As he spoke, he put in a rope, and Ashikaga Yoshiei tied the rope around his waist and pulled it to the ground, and Ashikaga Yoshiei looked haggard and discouraged.

Shihe Ichicun slapped Ashikaga Yoshiei's cheek with his hand and said, "Why are you so stupid, you actually came to Jinai to wade through this pool of troubled waters, take it down, and after returning to Awa Country, he is still somewhat useful." "Ashikaga Yoshiei knew that he had escaped in front of him, but he didn't know when he would be killed.

In the return of the Ten Rivers One Existence, Miyoshi Minoru who was in Kongoji Temple breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the first goal had been achieved, and Ashikaga Yoshiei's death or immortality was actually insignificant to them. But a living Ashikaga Yoshiei may still be of some use.

Shinohara's Nagabo hurried over. See three good rest. Yu reported: "My lord, there are more than 100 merchant ships in the port, as long as we snatch the three achievements, we can take all of us out of Kinai, but then we will completely offend everyone in Sakai Port." ”

Miyoshi Shikyu pointed to the fire outside and said, "Can we get their understanding by withdrawing now, since there is no room for turnback, then let this fire sing a lament for us to leave Kinai!" Kill, rob, burn. ”

Shinohara Nagafang is also a ruthless character, and as soon as he asked, he knew that it was ridiculously wrong. There is no difference between setting one fire and setting two fires, and they are about to leave Kinai, so let the people of Sakai Port go and collect debts from the people of Akutagawa Yama Castle.

Moreover, if the tens of thousands of Awa people who came with Miyoshi Shikyu and Ten Rivers Ichizu, if they leave Kinai empty-handed, even if they return to Awa and disagree, they will have a grudge against them, and Sakai Port is rich, and Shinohara Nagabo knows very well.

After this plunder, tens of thousands of Awa generals will support Miyoshi Shixiu and Ten Rivers Ichicun, which will greatly benefit their rule after returning to the Awa Kingdom. What's more, the merchant ships anchored at Sakai Port were mostly loaded with goods, and the large cargo on board naturally fell into the hands of the Miyoshi family. And so it goes. After returning to Awa and Sangi, he can use the looted property to have a good year, and at the same time, he can also step up the recovery of the vitality of the two countries, which will be greatly beneficial to the next conquest of the four countries.

Sakai Port is the richest place in the entire Ukai Province, and every merchant expects to own a merchant house in Sakai Port, just as every samurai wants to be the lord of a city and a country.

Every year, a large number of merchants come to Sakai Port from all over the country to do business, and a large number of frustrated merchants leave, and most of the Awa people arrive in Kinai from Kishiwada Castle, and they are naturally drooling from Sakai Port, which is also in Izumi Province, and often shows greedy eyes.

Now, with Miyoshi Minoru giving an order, tens of thousands of Awa people were ordered to rob Sakai Port of Wealth, and all of them rushed into the chaotic Sakai Port with torches, swords and guns, wantonly destroying the buildings in Sakai Port that had been built for more than 100 years.

Ten rivers Ichicun will not join the ranks of ordinary Awa people, he rushed out of the port with thousands of people, he wanted to grab enough merchant ships at the first time, not to let the merchant ships anchored in the port leave, waved his arms, shouted: "Kill me!" ”

With a loud cry, Tokawa leaned forward with the strength of his feet, and the spear in his hand burst out like lightning, and stabbed impartially into the neck of the guard who rushed to the front of Sakai Port, blood gushed out, and the guard staggered before falling heavily on the stone wall that had already melted with blood.

Convulsively, Shihe Yicun stirred twice and drew his spear, laughed and rushed towards the port.

Sakai Port has been peaceful for a long time, and Sakai has been pampered, gradually forgetting that he is in the turmoil of the Warring States, in addition to hiring a large number of guards, these guards may be able to fight alone, but compared with the army, they mostly rely on sending money and food to survive the crisis.

When attacking the mansion and the merchant house, they can only be attacked by the people hiding in the house, but in the face of the greedy wolves, these resistances are useless, and they are soon killed, and all the resistance is killed, and the powerless to resist escapes the catastrophe, and the heart is bleeding as they watch the wealth they have worked hard for most of their lives fall into the hands of the enemy. The killing of the Miyoshi Army shocked most people, it is better to die than to live, and there is always a chance to make a comeback if you live.

Merchants pay attention to the three holes of cunning rabbits, and now only part of them have been robbed, and there is still some accumulation in secret, as long as people live, there will be a day to emerge. The big businessmen had this ridiculous way of making a living, and many of the small merchants rose up to resist and were slaughtered.

The Awa tribe's looting at Sakai Port went very well. Those who can be moved are moved, and those who can't be moved are ready to be burned. Hundreds of merchant ships, snatched down more than 70 ships, because it was late at night, most of the people on board were gambling and drinking in the city that never sleeps, leaving only a small number of people to watch the goods, giving the ten rivers a chance to break through, but still twenty-seven ships escaped the catastrophe and sailed away from the port.

After Miyoshi Shishu and Tokawa Ichikun and others converged, they immediately began to carry the goods, and at the same time began to board and leave. They all understood that it was a trick to be able to break through Sakai Port, and if they stayed in Sakai Port and waited until Ishiyama Honganji Temple reacted, they were afraid that they would not be able to leave.

Miyoshi Minoru made a rough plan, and finally said: "We will board the ship and leave at once, as fast as possible, and the boatmen and sailors in the harbor, whether old or young, will be taken captive, and it will be up to them to start the ship, but we can fight it." ”

At dawn, smoke billowed over Sakai Port, and the entire city was quickly engulfed in flames. At this moment, Miyoshi Minoru and Tokawa Ichiku, wrapped up in the goods and boatmen they had looted from Sakai Port, were crossing Namba Bay and marching to Awa Province under the banner of the Miyoshi family.

In Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Miyoshi Changqing sat in the silent conference room and roared like thunder, he had just received the shocking news that tens of thousands of Miyoshi troops had captured Sakai Port and burned the city of Sakai, this news had a huge impact on Miyoshi Changqing and everyone in Akutagawa Mountain Castle, so that everyone almost collapsed.

In the conference room, it is now the world of the people of Jinnai, but no one is happy about it, but a deep malice is in the air. The Awa people's counterattack began, and the fire at Sakai Port was sure to anger Ishiyama Honganji, and Ishiyama Honganji would only regard the Awa people who burned down Sakai Port as an action of the Miyoshi family. Originally, the idea of the people of Kinai was wonderful, as long as they put Antaku Fuyasu under house arrest and seize the ships of the Awaji Naval Army, they would be able to grasp the weakness of the Awa people, and the military power of the Miyoshi family would fall into their hands.

Awazhong's counterattack was so sharp and so ruthless. All of their plans were frustrated at once, and now they want to have an affair with the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, where do they have the capital to talk about adultery without the army, I'm afraid they will really have to steal their lives.

The furious Miyoshi Changqing, although anger and pain made him almost lose his mind, he still clearly guided the consequences of losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Now, he can't recruit any soldiers and horses from Jinai, and even if he can, he can still trust these followers of the Tsuyo Sect. Tens of thousands of Awa were the only force he could rely on, and now that they had betrayed their relatives and left them, everything was over, and no one could save his life.
