"Did Ieyasu get rid of their control later?" Chen Taiyuan didn't have time to read them one by one, and asked directly. "If he's been under the control of the militaristic alliance, it's a bit of a problem, after all, the period he created lasted more than two hundred years. ”

Nobunaga shook his head, as if he hated Ieyasu at the same time, he also had to praise Ieyasu's later actions: "Ieyasu is also a generation of heroes who do not accept control, and it can only be said that the militarist alliance looks down on the generals too much." When it was controlled in the early stage, Ieyasu had to do things according to the orders of the Militarists, and even continued to help Yanli Temple secretly build the Exorcism Courtyard, just like the main hall next to it, the Corpse Emperor Hall, and even wrote an inscription himself. ”

It was an autographed inscription, but Ieyasu was obviously reluctant to leave his name, which would be infamous for 10,000 years. Therefore, there are only three big characters on the plaque of the main hall, but there is no payment.

But in the later stage, because Ieyasu's position was already secure, he even accidentally killed the demon monks and zombies who monitored him, so that the militaristic alliance had no problem with him for a while.

"He even hired a group of masters from your China to deal with the demon monks of the Demon Retreat Academy. Nobunaga's words were quite surprising. "These masters are cultivators like you, at least enough to ensure the safety of the Tokugawa family's main sect, making the militaristic alliance helpless. ”

It is no longer known what masters were hired, but at least the Tokugawa family's base camp has been stabilized, and with thousands of troops and horses, it is difficult for the military alliance to intervene.

It's just that Tokugawa Ieyasu also knew that the power of the militaristic alliance was very strong and extremely difficult to eradicate, so he did not choose to break the net like Nobunaga, but while actively defending against infiltration, he maintained a fragile peace with the militarist alliance on the surface - I am a friend, I will not conquer you, and you will not interfere in my governance of the country, and our well water will not interfere with the river water.

It was under this fragile peace that generations of people were really spent peacefully.

In short, whether Nobunaga opposed it from the beginning, or Hideyoshi and Ieyasu broke free after their wings were full-fledged, these heroes were not willing to be controlled.

However, the militaristic alliance is not the master of easy defeat, and their vitality is extremely tenacious, and their willpower is even more numb. It wasn't until the Tokugawa family reached the seventh shogun that the whole family had a problem - there was no successor. The general, who had just succeeded to the throne before he was ten years old, died, and even the heirs of the family branch died several times in a row. In the end, Tokugawa Yoshimune, another distant tribe, succeeded to the shogun with a near-impossible probability!

Even if it was the turn of this tribe to inherit the position of shogun, it should have been Tokugawa Yoshimune's father. If his father died, his eldest brother should inherit him. But it was extremely coincidental that in the month of the succession, his father and brother were poisoned and died one after another. Well, this Tokugawa Yoshimune has ascended to the throne of the shogun in such an incredible way.

Obviously, this is problematic, but history is written by victors, so no one continued to delve into this history after Yoshijong came to power. And the real reason is that Ji Zong's mother is a very ruthless female master, and she is a member of the Militaristic Alliance!

The militaristic alliance found that the Tokugawa family was not easy to infiltrate, so they worked this side branch, sent a beautiful woman to marry into the family, and gave birth to the concubine of Tokugawa Yoshimune.

Then, the militaristic alliance tried its best to kill all the heirs in front of Tokugawa Yoshimune, and finally made Yoshimune, who had no hope of succession, ascend to the position of shogun. As a result, he finally completely controlled the shogun family, and also avenged Tokugawa Ieyasu's one-shot revenge for breaking free from control.

After Tokugawa Yoshimune came to power, of course, he began to continue to support the temple, so many subsequent buildings began to be built again. Including the scripture hall where Chen Taiyuan is now, the Guru Hall over there, and the corpse pond and other buildings were all built in this era.

If these histories were written separately, I am afraid that a whole book would have to be written, after all, there are so many relevant materials.

Chen Taiyuan nodded and said: "In this way, the first half of the Tokugawa shogunate was basically not subject to the militaristic alliance, but the second half fell into the hands of the militaristic alliance. ”

In fact, this is not necessarily the case, and in the late shogunate, several generations of shoguns also tried to break free from control - no one wanted to be held hostage by others. However, the control of the militarist alliance is getting stronger and stronger, not only appointing spouses to the generals of previous dynasties, but also placing cronies around them, and at the same time there are demon monks and zombies holding them hostage on the side, in short, it is very difficult to get rid of the control.

It wasn't until the time of the 14th shogun Tokugawa Iehige that he came from a new tribe, which caught the militaristic alliance by surprise and had no time to control. The militarists could only harm him in a hurry, causing him to die young at the age of twenty.

However, before the Junguo Alliance could support a new general, a new tribe, Tokugawa Yoshiki, suddenly took over the shogun's position and became the fifteenth and last shogun. The general was not willing to be controlled, which caused even more chaos.

Chen Taiyuan, who knew a little about some historical materials of that era, had already realized that what might happen later.

Sure enough, some so-called reformists rebelled continuously, and finally overthrew the shogunate rule that lasted for more than 200 years in the name of the emperor, and also put the island country on the path of development in a new era. Unlike the rest of the great powers, the island nation has had a strong militaristic overtone from then on, and has been full of arrogant expansionist sentiments from top to bottom. Perhaps, all this has something to do with the militaristic alliance behind it.

Even when the island nation participated in the First World War, and later simply provoked the Second World War, it was full of ghosts of the militaristic alliance. For example, isn't the base set up by the island country in the Northern High Country a ghost created by the Military Alliance?

Even now, even if it seems to be a civilized society, the militaristic alliance is still sneaking behind the scenes, secretly controlling the overall situation of the island country, and quietly continuing to support its minions Yanli Temple Retreat Courtyard.

"It's a great piece of history. Chen Taiyuan sighed, "And this militaristic alliance is too ferocious, it has controlled the island country for hundreds of years, and it has not dissipated to this day." ”

Nobunaga nodded sullenly.

Chen Taiyuan knew Nobunaga's thoughts and asked, "So what about your wife's whereabouts, is there any?"

Nobunaga's face was even more gloomy, but since he had already had time to adjust his emotions just now, he never broke out. "It's long gone. At first, Akechi Mitsuhide saw that the tide was gone and he could not resist Toyotomi Hideyoshi's attack, so he completely destroyed Nohime's body before he retreated, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy. This ending, although a bit disappointing, ...... But after all, it's kind of a peace in the ground. ”

Chen Taiyuan nodded, it's not bad, if he really lives until now as a zombie, he may not be good or bad. People are born to die, and sooner or later they have to say goodbye to this world, and Nonghime, like most people, completed a cremation, which is actually an acceptable ending, at least not falling into the hands of the enemy and being humiliated.

At this point, Nobunaga's mind was also broken, and he had no worries or expectations, as if he had lost the meaning of existence all of a sudden.

It was Toyotomi Hideyoshi who hacked him at the beginning, but after more than 400 years, even if he sought revenge from Hideyoshi's descendants, it no longer made sense. Even after so many generations, maybe Hideyoshi's descendants are long gone.

As for the Tokugawa family, they did not rebel against Nobunaga in the first place, and successive Tokugawa shoguns were still struggling to get out of control. Therefore, they have nothing to do with Nobunaga's hatred at all.

In an instant, Nobunaga felt that hundreds of years of history were so light and fluttering, that he had lost all his weight.

"Kill, kill all these demon monks and thieves, and General Ben can completely let go. Nobunaga clenched his fists. Now he still has enemies, that is, these demon monks in front of him, but the other party won't be jumping for too long, because he is here!" "When I deal with this group of bastards, it seems that I should go with the history of the year, after all, I don't belong to this era." ”

A simple thought, but it instantly made Chen Taiyuan awe-inspired. Unlike the rest of the zombies, Nobunaga is genuinely open-minded. He only lives to find the truth and kill the enemy, and once he completes his goal, he doesn't care about life and death, which can be regarded as a kind of enlightenment and transparency.

But the more he was like this, the more Chen Taiyuan somehow didn't want this guy to commit suicide. "No one stipulates which person must belong to which era, like Xiuyan and Yan Ran, they are still living happily and fully, and they also have their own pursuits and yearnings. Su-yeon wants to travel around the world and travel all over the world. Yan Ran's idea is more direct, she still wants to be her heroine, to be chivalrous in the rivers and lakes she thinks, and to be a modern chivalrous man who wanders in the city. How nice, I think it's quite colorful. ”

Nobunaga stroked his beard and smiled, "General Ben understands what you mean, but ...... How can General Ben compare to these little women. I was born for the world, but the world no longer belongs to me, and I have no meaning to live. ”

Don't, always position yourself so high, tired or not. However, it would seem arrogant for others to say this, but Nobunaga said it naturally. After all, he was originally a tyrant who controlled hundreds of princes and held the authority of a country, and it was reasonable to feel such a sentiment after hundreds of years.

Chen Taiyuan: "Even if that's the case, the culprit who caused you is not the Exorcist Courtyard, but this militaristic alliance." Without the instigation of the Military Alliance, the Demon Retreat would not have had the courage to attack you, a powerful general. ”

Nobunaga sneered: "You want me to help you overturn this evil black hand?"

"I really don't know the hearts of good people...... Chen Taiyuan grinned, "What does the militaristic alliance have to do with me, I'll just deal with the Demon Retreat." As long as it doesn't bother me in the future, I don't bother to deal with it, and the dark war caused by a new human organization has already made me anxious. I'm just going to find you a goal to keep you motivated to survive. ”

Nobunaga was silent.

At this moment, Chen Taiyuan and Nobunaga turned backwards at the same time. At the same time, two supernatural energy fluctuations flashed in Chen Taiyuan's head. When he and Nobunaga reacted, the other party had already appeared in the temple, which showed that the strength of the other party should not be underestimated.
