Chapter 25: After the War

In the original history where there was no traverser, the last fight of the three people still caused quite a stir. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, Oda and Ashikaga were not prepared for this attack, and were almost defeated by the Miyoshi family, but in the end, it was only with the hard work of Hosokawa, Akechi and others, as well as the support of some neighboring people, that they could survive.

Although the real power of the shogunate has been lost for many years, it is still the undoubted leader tablet in the hearts of the samurai in the world. If the dignified general was killed by hostile forces less than half a year after he ascended the throne, it would be a great scandal. Even Oda, Tokugawa, Asai, and even the Asakura family, who supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki Kamiraku, all had to lose face.

Now, the emergence of the traverser tie show has avoided this crisis in advance.

Now, what the people of the Fuso Islands know is: Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the new general of the Shogunate, came to Wakae Castle to officiate at the wedding of his sister and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu. Seeing that the situation was not good, the three of them immediately fled with the remnants of the army; After Miyoshi Masayasu led the army to the palace, he fought for half a day, and finally absconded back with difficulty under the protection of the left and right guards; And Iwanari Tomotomi, who had the worst luck, broke away from the main army because he accidentally fell off his horse and was captured by the troops of the Oda family!

- Another subtlety that is not humane to outsiders is that Iwasari Yutong did not resist to the death, let alone make any seppuku moves, but honestly became a prisoner. The implication can be understood by people of insight.

At this time, there is nothing like the "official media", and when the various forces publicize to the outside world, they naturally try their best to highlight their own contributions, and incidentally and implicitly belittle the role of other allies.

The shogunate emphasized the role of the shogun in commanding the front line, and as the highest-ranking person present, he could share a lot of credit by standing there as a mascot, but the efforts of Hosokawa, Ise and others were somewhat overlooked.

Miyoshi's side has the advantage of home field, and his troops are far ahead in terms of the quantity and quality of the first rank. This has slightly changed the opinion of public opinion on him from near and far, from "weak" to "brave and unscrupulous".

Matsunaga didn't come out to fight for anything, and it was in his greatest interest to be able to repel the trio. However, it is indispensable to find some people to promote his son Matsunaga, and in terms of "using public opinion", he is much more skilled than Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu.

Including the large and small forces of Ikeda Katsumasa, Itami Jinxing, and Wada Yumasa, who rushed to support after hearing the news, although they have not been to the main battlefield, they have also obtained the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and each has dozens of first-level gains.

However, the enemy's famous general, Iwanari Yutong, was actually captured by the people of the Oda family, and no matter how much other people blew it, they couldn't erase this credit. Tieshou didn't need to say anything at all, naturally someone would spread his reputation for him.

Even the little beggar in Kyoto knew the news that "Miyoshi lost to the coalition forces and caught Iwanari with a draw".

This is also the most talked about topic in the breweries around in the spring of the 10th year of Eiroku.

The townspeople living in Kyoto have seen a little bit of the world, and when they heard the news, they couldn't help but sigh that the sky in Japan is about to change after all.

Not long ago, that is, around four or five years, before Miyoshi Nagakei's death, the Miyoshi family had been recognized as the most powerful daimyo in the world, and the advantage seemed to be difficult to shake, and the large group of prominent surnames such as Ashikaga, Hosokawa, Hatakeyama, and Rokkaku together still couldn't help them.

And Iwanari Yutong, in the world's most powerful daimyo, is a powerful samurai who can be ranked around tenth, and among the retainers with foreign surnames, it is firmly in the top five.

Being able to capture this person alive and take him prisoner is naturally a glorious family's achievement. How can hundreds of thousands of poor warriors in the world who are running around all day not be envious and even jealous?

However, when the rumor that "behind this battle is the shadow of a rare and wise general", the drunkards who were quite unconvinced showed their expressions of "it should be so".

Even Daisuke Imagawa, the "first bow in the East China Sea", inevitably had to suffer the loss of the tie, so that the army was defeated and died, although the "three good three" is also somewhat famous, but how is it compared to Imagawa Jibu?

Another question arises behind this: Hirate Honhide is already so powerful, so what kind of character is Oda Nobunaga standing behind?

The issue has aroused widespread interest, and there have even been some disturbing rumors. There are actually many people who think that although Oda Nobunaga is powerful, he is beyond the reach of the whip after all. A figure like Hirate Tsunohide will not live under the people for long, and now that he has such a great reputation and a very good relationship with all aspects of the shogunate, he must sooner or later become a major force in. That's how Matsunaga Shu rose......

People with a little insight naturally know that the time and the situation are very different from that time, but where do ordinary people pay attention to it?

Fortunately, the impact of this rumor was not great. In this troubled world, Kyoto people have seen too many worlds, and there are too many big people who have been killed or deposed, and the generals of the Ashikaga family have repeatedly risen and fallen and finally been killed, and the comings and goings of Hosokawa and Hatakeyama are probably in double digits, and the first level has already made it difficult to count the illiterate people who have not learned arithmetic. For example, Shinano, who was driven out by Takeda Shingen, guarded Ogasawara for more than ten years, trying to seek help to return to China, but most of the people had never heard of this name at all!

Kyoto's interest was drawn to a woman — not a stunningly beautiful woman — but perhaps some of the people who claimed to have seen her said so, but couldn't confirm it. That is the warrior who captured Iwanari Yudo "with his own hands", a Ji samurai from Enoe Province called "Ii Naotoko". If it is natural for a tie to show her wisdom again, then she can be described as a blockbuster! Female warriors are such a novelty, but they are not seen every day.

Captured by a woman on the battlefield, he is naturally a person to be ashamed of, and Iwanari Yutsu's family is not high, and when he was young, he relied on martial arts to be born, and he was recognized as a samurai with great bravery. Now his reputation has been ruined by trying to accumulate half a lifetime. And the other protagonist of the story is set off even more brilliantly.

In fact, in the Muromachi years, there was almost no such thing as a horse on the battlefield, and Ii Naotora just took a tour of more than twenty horses, and luckily met Iwanari Yutsu in the midst of the rout, and the latter only had five or six exhausted guards left around him, so he also laid down his weapons very cleanly, and there was not even a round of confrontation. However, the commentators will not take this into account if they are interested in the characters.

At this moment, Hirate Hinohide was temporarily stopping at a roadside pub in Kyoto with his guards, and happened to hear a loud discussion of a drunkard next door.

"The Jing family is now famous! Iwanari is unlucky! In the past, Lord Iwasari was the acting official of Kyoto, but now it is really ...... Alas! ”

It sounds like the guy who is talking may not have any friendship with the Miyoshi family, nor may he really have any sympathetic attitude, but he is just habitually sad. Kyoto is still a cultural center despite its decline, and there will never be a shortage of such people.

"Hehe, that guy was really arrogant back then, did he really regard himself as the guardian of the mountain city? It's just an unknown family in Bigo Province! ”

The next sentence is much more difficult to hear, and of course, the spokesman will not really have much enmity with the Miyoshi family, but he just doesn't look down on Iwanari Yutong's background, which is really common among Kyoto people.

What about Oda? Not a country daimyo in Owari yet? Anyway, the guys in Kanto and Kansai are fighting each other, and it has nothing to do with us......"

"yes, what's so noisy about this? No matter who is in charge of the world, they won't give us a penny anyway, but I want to know what that Ii Naotora looks like, I've only seen a Ji samurai like Ba Gozen in Noh dramas before, and I can't imagine that it really exists......"

"That's because you're too lonely! In our Kyushu, many women practice kendo from an early age! ”

"It's really a redneck...... Do you think that holding a sword casually is considered a samurai? At the very least, you have to defeat an enemy like Iwanari Lord Tax Susuke (alias for DFI) to count! ”

"Hey, look down on us Kyushu? I'll teach you a lesson from Kyoto's waste! ”

"Thought I was going to be afraid of you? I hope you, a countryman, don't be scared by Kyoto's swordsmanship, just wahaha......"

"Put away your knives! Now it's different! The guards of the Oda family are still patrolling outside! Want to be caught and killed? ”

Hearing this, Hirate couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling a little relieved that the security in Kyoto had improved. He has memories of peacetime in his soul, and he is a high-level vested interest in this life, so he is naturally disgusted by chaos and riots.

It was quiet for a moment, and another drunk man made a fuss:

"Although he is a rare Ji samurai, I think he must be an ugly monster! How can there be a woman who is both capable and beautiful? ”

"Ha, you couldn't be more wrong! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, if it's not a beautiful woman, how can a flat prisoner treat her like this? (Heishou inherited the official name of "Prisoner" at this time)

"Uh-huh? Is there any other story in this? ”

"Well, I also heard from a friend, and said that my friend is now the head of the Oda family's Ashigaru group, damn it, and he was obviously worse than me in martial arts back then...... What, to listen to the story? Okay, okay, for the sake of inviting me to drink, I'll tell you about it! ”

After a moment of silence, the voice was heard again. Fan Xiu secretly said in his heart, in the words of the earth, this kind of person is the "keyboard Politburo" of this era.

"It was years ago. This Ji samurai is a member of the Yuanjiangi Yi family, who failed to marry for some reason, and has been practicing in the temple since he was a child. This Jing Yi family was originally a small force, but it suffered a chaos, so this woman escaped with the last head of the family who was just born, and there were only a few old servants left, if it weren't for the protection of Lord Pingshou, she would probably have been hunted down and killed by the enemy. You see, Lord Pingshou didn't attack Yuanjiang, so he didn't need to use the name of the Jing Yi family at all, but this Lord not only protected the remnants of the Jing Yi family, but also gave her such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions......"

"There's only one reason to say that."

"Ahh

"This woman seems to be not young, and she has also been a monk, and the taste of that flat master is too strange! Is there still a lack of women in his current status? ”

"Go away, go away, you look like a child who doesn't understand women! Thirty-year-old women are interesting, you don't understand it at all! ”

"That's right, I've been a monk and practiced, so this is a different flavor......"

"Ordinary women see too much! If I had been the tie, I might have ......."

"Thirty years old, but never married, doesn't it happen to have the advantages of both sides?"

"It seems that this adult is our fellow believer, hehe!"

"Then you go to the custom shop in Kyoto these days to look for it, maybe you meet that person, if you take it with you, it will be developed, haha!"

Seeing that the content of these drinkers' chats became more and more vulgar, several guards next to them couldn't help but look angrily, wanting to teach these people who were arguing about the monarch a lesson. But Tie Sho is still calm, after all, he himself used to be a marginal member of the Politburo who likes to listen to gossip.

But a moment later, someone came to remind:

"Now the people who manage the security of Kyoto are the equals, and you people are talking nonsense here, aren't you a little afraid?"

Then those people seemed to be really a little scared, and after a few noises, they dispersed.

After such a dispersion, Fan Xiu felt a little bored, and glanced left and right casually, but he really remembered that Ji Samurai.

This time, with the dignified Ashikaga shogun as bait, he successfully ambushed Miyoshi, which greatly boosted the prestige of the shogunate. At the same time, the three of them were already unjustifiable, but now that they have suffered this defeat, I am afraid that their appeal will be seriously damaged, and they want to make the retainers of the Miyoshi family bow down to their orders, which is probably not so easy.

It is even more unexpected to be able to capture Iwanari Youtong, whether it is to kill or stay, it can become a very useful chess piece. For the Yuanjiangjing Yi family, who avoided disaster and only had more than a dozen family members left to support each other, it can be called a pole Tailai, and the results of the battle are not unrich. What is particularly intriguing is that this general of the Miyoshi family, after discovering that he couldn't escape, was honestly caught, and it seems that he has no idea of committing suicide and being loyal to his family.

However, the tie also achieved special results that were not humane.

"Tiger Chiyo (Ii Naomasa's young name) is already seven years old, and I can make such a contribution this time, and I want to come to the Ii family to revive hopefully, and I can rest assured that I will hand over the family name to him."

When Naohu said this, there were tears in his eyes. The burden of maintaining her family name must have made her quite tired.

As for the question of where to go after putting down the burden......

This is self-evident.

Anyway, I won't go back to the life of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.

The usually generous and noble Ji warrior knelt down in front of him reverently, with a little shyness in his heroic spirit, and his eyes showed endless gratitude and worship.

This is really satisfying.

Hijo Honxiu's thoughts were flying, thinking of the past and present life of the Jing Yi family, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then the strong figure rose in his heart, but he smiled.

"Your Highness, it's time for us to start again, and it's a bit rude to let the lords of the shogunate wait."

At this time, Asano Nagayoshi, who served as an attendant, reminded softly.

Fanxiu nodded, motioned for the guards to get up, and continued on their way.

What those drunkards didn't know was that although the battle of Ruojiang City brought him great praise, it also brought a hot potato.

This potato, even if you don't ask, knows that it is related to His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga.
