"My lord! Our army won a great victory, all the rebels were defeated, and all the bandit leaders were taken down..."In the vast room of Dinghai City, a test of combat merits is being held.

The Hosokawa family's military merit test was not a traditional first-level test, but a first-level check by the clerk, and then the statistics were compiled and submitted to the book.

Honda Masashin read it out loud below according to the merits of the book, and the ministers listened triumphantly below.

When his name was called, he couldn't help but sit up straight with a smug expression.

"My lord, the above is the result of this battle. Not only did the Honke eliminate the rebels besieging Jokai Castle, but they also captured Awaji Province, defeated the rebels of Settsu Province, and stabilized the Kinai Prefecture. Congratulations! Congratulations to my lord! Honda Masanobu took the lead in congratulating Hosokawa Nobumoto, and all the retainers also congratulated in unison.

"Excellent! Recently, the army has been exhausted from the recent battles. After resting for two days at Dinghai Castle, he went to Saga Castle by land and sea. After relieving the siege of Saga Castle, let's go to pacify the last rebel stronghold in Kii Province: Koyasan! Hosokawa Nobumoto now felt finally relieved, even though Saga Castle was still besieged by the rebels. However, as a port city, this city not only has more than 1,000 defenders inside, but also has Hosokawa naval forces on the sea to support it, and it is more difficult for the rebels to capture it than to ascend to the sky.

"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Two days later, Hosokawa Nobumoto led a total of 2,000 people from Sekihara Bei, Jokai Bei, and a samurai on horseback, as well as 3,000 Hanoi people under Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and returned to Saga Castle in Kii Province.

"My lord! When the enemy learned of the return of our Hosokawa army, they rushed into the Koyasan area. "Oura Nobu, the garrison of Saga Castle, is reporting to the lord Hosokawa Nobumoto.

When the rebels under the castle heard that Hosokawa Nobumoto had triumphed with a victorious army of 5,000, they were so frightened that they did not dare to face it head-on, and quickly hid in the deep mountains of this Koya Mountain.

"Got it, you've worked hard this month." Hosokawa Nobumoto sat on the main seat with a headache, according to his original idea, it was best to block the rebels under Saga Castle so that they could be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Now, the rebels are all hiding in Koyasan, and the difficulty of exterminating them has increased exponentially. You must know that in history, in order to completely eliminate the rebel forces of Kii Province, it took more than ten years to basically pacify the territory of Koyasan alone.

Kii Province is a vast and sparsely populated area, and there is little farming because of its mountainous area, and the most famous is Koyasan. However, there is no such thing as "Koyasan", and it is actually surrounded by eight peaks of about 1,000 meters and a summit basin about 900 meters above sea level, so it is not the name of a single mountain.

And the most bizarre thing is that you can't see the mountains in Koyasan, so there is a saying that "Koyasan has no mountains".

Because its entire topography is very unique, like a lotus blooming, it is also called the "Peak of Eight Leaves". It is divided into eight peaks such as Inner Eight Leaves "Chuanyuan Mountain, Zhimingyuan Mountain, Zhongmen Front Mountain, Yakushiin Mountain, Goshe Mountain, Shenying Mountain, Lion Hill, and Katsuren Huayuan Mountain"; There are also eight outer peaks around the area, such as "Imalai Peak, Baozhu Peak, Bofu Mountain, Bentendake, Gusha Mountain, Rotating Shaft Mountain, Yangliu Mountain, and Mani Mountain".

Such a natural and superior terrain, if used as a Buddhist holy place, is like the Buddha sitting on a lotus flower, extremely sacred.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of the Heian period, Kukai, the founder of Shingon Buddhism, used this place as the head of Shingon Buddhism, and built the Golden Hall of "Tanjo Garan" in the middle as the main hall of the entire Koyasan, and used it for various important religious ceremonies.

In the vicinity of the Golden Hall, Japan's first Taho Pagoda was built, the Nemoto Great Pagoda. The tower is centered on the golden body of the Great Day Nyorai, and the surrounding hall pillars depict sixteen great Bodhisattva faces, guarding the Great Day Nyorai. The top is matched with colorful colors to present a brilliant three-dimensional mandala pattern, and the surrounding walls are also painted with sublime mantra eight ancestors.

All of Koyasan's temples are built around the Nemoto Great Tower, and there are as many as 117 temples in the Inner Hachimine alone, forming a religious city unique in Japan and known as the "Holy Land of the Sky".

"Big brother! Now what? Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was the first to ask, originally according to the plan, it was to gather the troops of the five countries of Settsu, Hanoi, Yamato, Izumi, and Kii to encircle and suppress Koyasan.

Nowadays, the situation is frequent, and the number of troops is less than 6,000, and going into the mountains to encircle and suppress is tantamount to taking chestnuts from the fire.

"Let's transfer the iron artillery team back first, now in Kyoto, our troops have exceeded 10,000. As long as we fight steadily, victory will definitely be ours. "Hosokawa Nobugen is not worried about the war situation in Kyoto at all, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide are all military experts, and it is too easy to eliminate a straw bale Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

The only thing that worries Hosokawa is Matsunaga's capricious personality. Although judging from his current performance, in order to be able to withdraw from Yamato Province to Hanoi and Kyoto to quell the rebellion, he chose to reconcile with his old enemy, the Tsutsui family, he should still be on the side of the Oda family. Otherwise, he should have taken the opportunity to eliminate the Tsutsui family and expand his own territory.

"It's good! The scale of the iron cannon of the eldest brother's family is unparalleled in the world, and when the time comes, we can attack and retreat, and the initiative will be in our hands. "Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also agrees very much, when he pacified Hanoi Province, he learned the iron cannon of the Yukawa people in Kii Province, which was the army that killed Miyoshi Yoshiken.

In the entire Kii Province, there were three major iron artillery armed forces, called the "Kii Sanko", namely the Nerai, Saga, and Yukawa. Yukawa had always been under the orders of Tayama Takamasa, the guardian of Kii and Kawachi Province, but later, he was exiled by his family's important retainers, Yusa Nobu, Yasumi Sobo, and his younger brother Tayama Akitaka, who succeeded him as the family governor.

However, Tayama Takamasa was not reconciled, and he once went to Beijing alone to visit Shogun Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga, hoping to seek justice. Unfortunately, General Yoshiaki didn't care, and his cunning brother took a step ahead of him and married Oda Nobunaga's sister.

The final result was that Oda Nobunaga did not help his relatives and acquiesced to the position of head of the Tayama Akitaka family. Tayama was not angry, so he ran to his base of Kii Province and found the Yukawa people who still supported him.

As a result, he has been in the stage of waiting for an opportunity, ready to regain his position as the head of the family, and even when Hosokawa Nobumoto invaded the coast of Kii Province later, he did not say a word.

He knew that it was now the world of the Oda family, and offending Hosokawa Nobugen was offending Oda Nobunaga, not to mention that Hosokawa Nobugen had taken away some coastal areas, which were originally owned by the local independent wealthy families, and he didn't want to care about it, and he couldn't control it.

Later, the opportunity finally made him wait, and Tawenin Yingjun and Yuzo Shinkyo raised the anti-flag again and killed Tayama Akitaka. He also took the opportunity to send troops to retake his territory, but ran into Yoshitsugu Miyoshi, who was going to eat alone.

Originally, he relied on the iron cannon advantage of the Yukawa people, and the Miyoshi Yoshiki he fought was defeated and retreated, and gradually regained the old territory. But later, as soon as Hidehide Matsunaga of Yamato Province entered the war, he was beaten back to Kii Province.

Now he is probably very depressed..., you are lonely, and the young lady warms you with movies
