Chapter 143: The Line Between Life and Death
"Hold it down! Press the wound with a cotton cloth! Don't let it bleed again! With six shortness of breath, he commanded with seven to press to stop the bleeding, and began to disinfect himself.
Mimaru put down his hands on the side, responsible for handing the cotton cloth, and wiping the sweat for Liu, although he said no, but the movements in his hands were not slow at all, stop the bleeding and then disinfect it, and then stop the bleeding and disinfect it again.
The assassins outside had been almost killed by Hattori Hanzo, but unfortunately the thief had run away and was now nervously waiting outside the house.
At the same time, there was also an emergency situation in Devon City, Mochizuki Xue was seven months pregnant and suddenly had abdominal pain and premature amniotic water breakage.
The midwives and doctors arrived at the scene one after another, and the maids went in and out, and outside the house was the old Yoshida Munegui, who was accompanied by the Oda dog, and was anxiously waiting.
And Jing Yi Naohu was inconvenient to be there because he was pregnant, but he was also restless at home and looking forward to it.
"Alright, disinfection is complete! Start stitching! Yoroku wiped the sweat off his forehead, and the hand holding the needle began to tremble unconsciously.
Suddenly, Nobumoto Hosokawa began to vomit and his limbs twitched, and it was shock!
"Quick! Raise your neck and hold your chin up! Keep your breath open! Let the vomit out! Don't block your nostrils! "While commanding with Liu, he quickly sutured the wound.
"Whew! Suck! Call! Suck! Hard! "In the Mochizuki Snow Residence in Devon City, the midwife is guiding Mochizuki Snow to give birth.
"Quick! The head is out! Shoulder! Shoulder! The shoulder also came out! Come on! ”
"Oops! Hot head! It's septic shock! After the stitching, Yoroichi touched Hosokawa Nobumoto's hot forehead, and his legs had begun to tremble, which was the most dangerous signal.
"Quick! Go get a high level of rice wine! Wipe down and cool down! ”
"Kid... The child didn't even cry... It's a death... Dead Baby.... The midwife trembled and looked at the baby boy who had just given birth in her hand.
"Give... Give it to me..."The weak Mochizuki had tears in her eyes, and laboriously took the baby who was not breathing.
************
The first rays of sunlight shone on the pane in the morning, and Hosokawa Nobumoto lay on the couch, his breathing had been steady, and he had survived the difficult night safely.
But inside the house, Yo Six is still guarding the side with peace of mind to avoid all emergencies. What happened here has been reported to the family by Konishi Ryonzo sent someone to Akutagawa Castle.
"What! Rokuro is assassinated! Now life and death are on the line! Oda Nobunaga got up in a rage and smashed the famous tea utensils that Kaimachi had just offered, and this assassination was the one he hated the most.
"Damn! Who is so bold! Dare to assassinate my important minister of the Oda family! How is Rokuro doing now? Find out who did it! "It doesn't matter if Kaimachi surrenders or not, he only cares about Hosokawa Nobumoto's safety.
"Back to the main hall! My father-in-law has just passed the dangerous period and is still recuperating and observing. As for the assassin, according to the report of the guards at home, it was the ninja of Koga, and the person who sniped the lord at the head was Seiya Zenjubo! "Hosokawa Haruyuki should arrive below, according to Konishi Ryuza's letter, if it weren't for the new first aid method, I'm afraid my brother would have returned to the West long ago.
"You immediately lead the men of the headquarters, and I will give you another 3,000 troops, and immediately go to the Kai Town to ensure the safety of Rokuro!" Oda Nobunaga first sent additional troops to protect Hosokawa Nobumoto, and then issued a nationwide wanted Zenjubo Seiya.
At this time, Seiya Zenjubo was hiding in a deep mountain in Takashima County, Omi Province, and the Rokkaku Yoshiji father and son, who gave him the assassination order, were probably also hiding somewhere in Omi Province.
Historically, the Rokkaku father and son led the remnants to carry out a series of resistances in Koga, but due to the intervention of Hosokawa Nobumoto, most of Koga's forces were annexed, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
Therefore, under the hatred of the Rokkaku father and son, they implemented a lore plan against Hosokawa Nobumoto, believing that as long as the bond of the Hosokawa family was broken, Koga would still be his Rokkaku family.
Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful, and in the face of a huge reward, the hexagonal father and son had to temporarily avoid the limelight and disappeared.
Two months later, in the Kaimachi Nanban Merchant Hall, Hosokawa Nobumoto was chatting with Floys.
"My dear friend, you seem to be recovering well." Floys picked up a bottle of wine and filled Hosokawa Nobumoto.
"It's okay, but sometimes I get dizzy." Nobumoto Hosokawa took a sip, and the taste was not bad, and he was particularly fond of sugar and wine now. Mainly because of excessive blood loss at that time, I got hypoglycemia.
"This is a gift I brought from the West to His Excellency Oda." Floyse pointed to an item on the shelf, and Hosokawa Nobumoto turned his head to see that it was a globe.
"This is a gift from you." Floyse took a beautiful box from another shelf, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a Western monocular nautical telescope.
"Hehe, you're so careful." Hosokawa Nobumoto took the gift, and this Floyse was very good at throwing people in.
"If you like it, I'll teach you how to use this." After saying that, Floys wanted to demonstrate that these southern barbarians were not really valuable, but they were doubly precious here.
"No, I'll use it. Do you have any requests? "The so-called world does not give away for no reason, and there must be benefits under the good name.
"Hehe, it's just a simple gift, you don't have to care, really." Floyse shrugged and said sincerely, "I just feel sorry that there is no glory of God here, and if I can, I would like to preach in Kyoto and build the Lord's church." ”
"Ahh
After a while, he said: "I can say a few kind words for you in front of the lord, as for the effect, it depends on how the lord decides." ”
"Just with your words, I know that Your Excellency Oda values you the most. Cheers to our friendship! "Floyse raised his glass, a very gentlemanly toast.
"Cheers! My friend. Hosokawa Nobumoto also clinked his glass with a smile on his face, it was just a partner of interest.
Coming out of the Nanban Merchant House, Hosokawa Nobumoto went straight to Konishiya, and behind him was a cart pulled up by 500 iron cannons purchased from Floys at a low price.
In the past two months of staying in Kai Town, Hosokawa Nobumoto has not been idle, and while recuperating from his injuries, he also began to buy some military supplies, and the rest is easy to say, but this iron cannon really took a lot of thought.
originally wanted to buy Daming's bird guns through Hu Zongxian or Wang Zhi, but first, because this is a controlled ordnance, it cannot be purchased through merchants, but can only be purchased by officials;
The second is that if you use Hosokawa Nobumoto's official name, it will take a lot of time, just the cumbersome system of layers of announcements and layers of approvals, which makes Hosokawa Nobumoto have a headache when he listens.
In the end, it was decided to purchase the arquebuses sold from the West directly, after all, Floys had them in stock.
"Your lord, you're back, and your subordinates are preparing to look for you." I saw that in the direction of Konishiya, Hattori Masaaki hurriedly ran over.
"What's wrong? What happened! Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly became nervous, and Hattori Masaaki, who was the head of the family, came to him, and it could only be that there was military activity in the vicinity.
"Enlightened Lord! Miyoshi's Awa, Sanki, Awaji and other countries suddenly began to mobilize peasant soldiers, the number of which is about 10,000 people, the intention is unknown, please make a choice! ”
