Matsunaga is in this life, and it is indeed a pity.

Thinking that he was a low-level townsman (or a local tyrant, the lower the more lacking a clear identity division), neither a high-ranking surname, nor a Miyoshi family's Apo Spectrum Dai, but he could try to grasp the opportunity of the change of the king's banner at the head of the city, and climb the momentum of the take-off of the Miyoshi regime, starting from a scholar and a scribe, and after the positions of Youbi, Executive, and Ashigaru General, he was promoted at the age of forty-five, and became the sole leader of the city as the generation of the Yueshui City, and at the age of fifty-two, he further became the lord of a country, and finally started from scratch, Created a family with a territory of more than 200,000 stones. Among them, the difficulties and ups and downs are self-evident.

However, his courage, talent and luck are still slightly inferior to the top heroes of his time.

Matsunaga Xiu this person, has always been an auxiliary government talent is better than a king, long in general affairs, clumsy in the military formation, and the merchant and the secretary of the good family, but see the evil in the samurai colleagues, so all kinds of factors are limited, after the death of Miyoshi Changqing, the group of dragons has no leader, the critical moment of the storm, it is difficult to transform the advantage of political status, into real land and military strength, but was once suppressed by the three good Changyi, almost died of the annihilation.

Since then, the life of this "evil bullet" has gradually gone downhill.

On the one hand, it may be that with his advanced age, Matsunaga Xiu's own intelligence and judgment have declined, and on the other hand, his son Matsunaga is really an unconscious person, far less talented than his father, but his ambition is still excessive.

Relying on the connections accumulated in the past and the clever diplomacy, the Yamato Matsunaga clan, based in the castle of Shinkiyama, was still regarded as an influential Kinai giant during the dual reign of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga, but the former style is no longer there.

Especially from Nobunaga's assassination to Takeda Kamiraku, the situation in Kinai changed drastically several times, and Matsunaga chose the wrong side twice, and the political capital that his father had worked so hard to build was finally squandered.

At this time, he killed a tie show who paid attention to "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and punishing the evil", did not eat oil and salt, and did not eat soft and hard, and under huge financial pressure, gathered more than 30,000 troops, and surrounded the Xinguishan City tightly, and it was impossible to stop until the goal was achieved.

In a saying of the ancients, this kind of mentality is called "never dead under the feet, no peace alone".

So it got to where it is today.

After all, he was a person who was once qualified to peep at the artifact and approached the supreme position, although he was dying of old age and was unable to turn things around, after all, he had the courage to bend rather than bend.

His only son and eldest grandson had died at the hands of Sasa Seimasa on Mt. Hiei, and the only remaining youngest son was shattered in the castle tower. In this way, with this earth-shattering loud noise, everything that the Yamato Matsunaga clan had been doing for decades, whether it was glorious deeds or intrigues, was wiped out.

"That's at least three hundred pounds...... No, it's an explosion effect that only 500 catties of gunpowder can have! Lao Tzu has never seen such a big scene for so long, and I don't know where the Matsunaga family got so many goods......" After the initial shock, Masashi Noguchi, who has been in charge of the firearms unit for a long time recently, was amazed at the burning "ruins", "It's a pity that Mr. Shuichi Harutaya is not here, if he had seen it with his own eyes, he would probably be able to deduce more information......"

The head relatives of the Nagazong and my department on the side stepped back slightly, trying to look calm and composed, but after listening to Noguchi Masatoshi's words, he couldn't help but feel bitter - the cost of gunpowder is actually not very high, and the production process is not top secret, but the saltpeter and sulfur needed are difficult to buy in Fuso. Changzong and my family have exhausted the power of Tosa, and so far they have only gotten fifty or sixty catties, and according to the calculation that one pound of gunpowder can fire a medium-sized iron cannon a hundred times, a total of 5,000 shots, and the development of firearms by scholars is far away...... But I didn't expect that people Matsunaga was spending hundreds of pounds of gunpowder just to blow himself up, and the people of Jinai were really rich......

Asano Nagayoshi, who had a rare opportunity to lead an army alone (in fact, it was Dr. Yasudai Terada, who was really in charge of military affairs), also came over to watch, and he looked very unsatisfied, and after listening to the discussion, he complained: "Since there are still so many stocks, why don't you use them to shoot outwards and continue to resist, but instead die with the city?" I really can't figure out what Matsunaga is thinking. ”

Noguchi Masatoshi, who was experienced in firearms, knew the answer to this question for a long time, but when he saw that this Asano Nagayoshi was unobstructed, his tone was not very respectful, and he didn't bother to answer, so he only smiled and ignored it.

The other sentient being next to him, Jinzhen, who had never had a temperament or heart, did not feel offended, took two steps closer, and still responded with a smile: "Asanoden, you probably didn't notice that during the battle just now, although many soldiers of the Matsunaga family were armed with iron cannons, they did not cause any hindrance to us, but many of them injured their own ...... It must be known that the good product of my Hirate family's 'Harutaya' was sent to the army after more than two years of trial and error, and it seems that the Matsunaga family only got together gunpowder, and it was too late to carefully ponder the ingenuity of it! ”

"Aha! It seems that our general general, the ability of the master of the Tieshou Criminal Department, cannot be easily learned by outsiders after all. Oda Nagayoshi had very good ears, and when he heard the voice from afar, he was overjoyed and excited. It's just that the content of his words, if you think about it carefully, has a deep meaning - is it appropriate for you, a member of the Oda family, to call the Lord of the Heite Punishment Department "our chief general"?

"Changyi Palace's words are very true!" When he heard this, he felt very honored, and completely forgot that he was forcibly coerced by the "Ghost Boy Keiji" to join the Tieshou Army - although he was a low-level samurai from a small family, there was actually no other way.

"On the island of Shikoku, in the battle of Imakirikawa, he killed Shichijo Kananaka, the first brave general of Awa Province, with the 'Hundred Cracks Cannon', and it was probably since then that he attracted the prying eyes of careerists...... This is not a good omen! Then there is Kato Kato, who is always cautious, even pessimistic.

Kato Kyoaki is Kato Kotai next to him. The two of them had recently recounted their genealogy, and when they found that six generations had gone up, it was likely to be a family, so they recognized each other as relatives. Kato Mitsutai heard Kato's words, his face was a little disapproving, but his expression was fleeting, and he didn't dare to show it as a newcomer.

However, he was silent, but there was no shortage of old people who were older and closer to Kato Kyoaki. Noguchi Masatoshi, Asano Nagayoshi and others were about to refute when they opened their mouths, but they were interrupted by hearty laughter from a distance.

"Haha! Sannojo (Kato Kyoaki commonly known as Kato) This worrying habit still has to be changed! "The flat hand is Yu Xuanang, the dragon walks and walks slowly, smiling, followed by Hattori Hidean and Tiger Zai Soyi and others, "When the blade is not out, it is certainly hidden in the dark room. But when it should be used, it must also be decisively displayed, otherwise it will be embarrassing to cover the rust and never get out of the scabbard. ”

Everyone said yes in unison, and praised the leader for his foresight, in one sentence.

Hisho Hoshu waved his hand with a smile, walked a few steps forward, looked up and saw the scene in the enemy city Honmaru, his expression suddenly changed, and his smile all converged.

On the half-slope of Xingui Mountain, within a radius of hundreds of steps, all of them were built by Matsunagas. Although limited to the topography, there is no large flat area, but high or low, large or small, there are hundreds of courtyards in total, and countless steps are connected in the middle, the structure is complicated, but it is scattered. Buildings for different purposes, such as roofs, dojos, warehouses, arrowheads, and Buddhist halls, are discharged in an orderly manner according to certain rules.

At first glance, the layout of the city is reasonable, without changing the terrain too much, but it can meet the needs of administrative offices and storage materials, but it is not good enough in terms of defensive functions. There are too many courtyards in this layer, so there are too many things to pay attention to, and it is difficult to divide the troops to guard.

According to pre-collected information, the castle's Honmaru is located at the highest point of the mountain, 60 steps long and 40 steps wide, and the inside is a towering four-story castle tower, which was designed by more than a dozen artists from Kyoto, Nara, and other places, and fully embodies the beauty of Japanese-style architecture.

But what appeared in front of Hirate's eyes now was a sparsely burned ruin.

The trees, furniture, decorations, weapons, and so on that should have existed in the courtyard walls are now black and charred embers, and the castle tower in the center has long since been scattered and collapsed, except for the thickest beams and pillars, and still maintains a part of the rudimentary shape of the frame.

Seeing that Hinokute Hasuhide sighed slightly—but he didn't sigh for long, so he immediately asked, "Are you the first group of troops to arrive near Honmaru?" Have you ever found out the whereabouts of Yoshiharu Horio? ”

When the words landed, everyone present immediately applied to become serious, but they looked at each other and couldn't answer.

After a while, Kato Kyoaki said cautiously: "The subordinates only caught a boy who escaped from Honmaru, and that person confessed that Horio Hall ...... He was imprisoned in Honmaru. ”

Hearing the words, the tie couldn't help but be silent.

It's been half an hour since Matsunaga Xiu's "self-explosion", and the fire of Honmaru has not been extinguished yet.

To be exact, it should be ten dead and zero alive.

"We must find his body, at least give future generations a place to worship!" Heite Honhide gave an order with a sad face, "Mosuke (Horio Yoshiharu's common name) doesn't seem to have an heir yet......"

"There is a concubine born with a wanderer, who is still young and raised in a foreign house, and has a younger brother who has reached adulthood." Asano Nagayoshi, who is the most proficient in gossip news, immediately whispered to his ear and added.

"Let his concubine inherit the throne, and his brother inherit the position." The tie made his decision immediately.

And they all said yes, and each praised the lord for his righteousness.

Then Kato asked the question of what to do with the city after the war, seemingly inadvertently.

This made the Lord of the Pingshou Punishment Department, who had always talked and laughed at the feather fan and retreat from the enemy, frowned, and replied with a blank face: "This matter has been decided, but it is not suitable to talk about it here, and you will know it in the future." ”

In this rhetoric, everyone seems to be able to perceive a hint of embarrassment.
