(Although it's a little late, I still want to wish everyone a happy National Day, everyone should eat, and play should play...... By the way, add more clicks and favorites to this book.,Haha)

Oda Nobunaga has always done things with little regard for the feelings of others, and in his opinion, whoever stands in his way should be kicked out of his way.

Just when everyone thought that Oda Nobunaga was going to let go of Asakura Keiken, Oda Nobunaga's attitude suddenly made a 180° turn, and he did not accept Asakura Keiken's surrender if he did not enter, and he was going to be broken into thousands of pieces.

This is Oda Nobunaga's style, when his opponent is full of hope, he goes up and stomps it out like a cigarette butt on the ground. In this case, the opponent will definitely be hit harder than a direct blow.

"Your Royal Highness...... Nishimura Jingyan's voice was full of sadness and bitterness, he already knew that he had been tricked by this "Sixth Heaven Demon King", but it didn't matter, the key was that the Anju (Asakura) family was about to end.

The Nishimura family was already a retainer of the genealogy when he was in Asakura Takakei, and unlike many Echizen wealthy families who saw the wind and steered the rudder, Nishimura Keiyan was really full of feelings for the An family.

At this moment, Nishimura made a decision, there was no need to go back to Fuzhong City, and when he left the Oda Army camp later, he would directly commit suicide by seppuku, which could be regarded as repaying the great kindness of An Jia by failing to complete the task.

"But ......" Just as Nishimura was sentencing himself to death, Oda Nobunaga's mouth popped up again.

"Your Highness!" Nishimura's voice was mixed with a little surprise, maybe there was something that he could still fight for.

"Shichiri Yorishu and Shimoma Yorijun," Oda Nobunaga said slowly, "These two demon monks who have always been sectarians, I heard that they are still hiding in the mountains in front of the East Etsu. ”

"This family has been cut off with these two people, please check with His Royal Highness!"

"Discerning? How do I find out? President Oda made a look of embarrassment, "Unless ......"

Nishimura hurriedly kowtowed: "But with the orders of His Royal Highness the Senator, go to the soup at home and die without giving up!" ”

"I don't need you to go to the soup, and I don't need you to go to the fire," Oda Nobunaga's face was straight: "Within three days, I will bring the heads of these two guys!" In this way, the court and I can believe that An Jia is truly repentant! ”

"Your Highness the Senator Xie shows the way for a safe home!" Nishimura's head slammed even harder, and his voice was full of choked throats, "The family must do their best to arrest Qili Lai Zhou and Shimoma Lai Jun to vent the hatred of His Royal Highness the Senate and the imperial court...... "He was probably too excited, he forgot the etiquette, and actually let Oda Nobunaga be put in front of the imperial court.

"If you can do this within three days, I will not pursue any of the previous matters, and I will keep the name of the Asakura family, but if you want to leave Echizen, I will set aside a piece of land in Kyoto for you to live in, and as long as you keep to yourself, I will not embarrass you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" Nishimura literally cried.

"Have you seen it, this is the descendant of the Asakura clan who dominated the eastern and megatron the world." When Nishimura went out, Oda Nobunaga looked at us and said with a smile, "I don't know if I would have thought that one day, his descendants would also wag their tails and beg for mercy like others." ”

"Yes," Niwa Nagahide smiled wryly, "Back then, Asakura Toshikyo, Asakura Takashi were both famous heroes in the world, and Asakura Sodi was a 'god of war' who had never been defeated in his life, and he couldn't think of ......"

"It can't all be said to be the destiny of heaven," said the father; "When I came out of the Asakura family, I was aiming for the prominent name of the Asakura family, but after I 'entered', I found that the seemingly powerful Echizen No. 1 family had long been decayed, and he did not want to make progress externally, he was indifferent to the changes in the external situation, and he was deceitful and fighting with Nell."

No matter what the occasion, your new boss will always want you to talk about the old boss, unless you want to use the old boss to highlight his "great wisdom". So Oda Nobunaga did not stop his father's "nostalgia".

"The most important thing is that from the family governor Asakura Yoshikage to every retainer below, they have lost their true qualities as samurai, and they only care about pursuing a corrupt and depraved life, and they spend far more time on banquets and poetry than on national affairs in a year," the father said as he shook his head, "You say, such a daimyo is nothing to live in a peaceful and prosperous era, but this is a troubled time, how can they keep their family business if they are so inactive?" ”

"Yes, yes......" everyone nodded in agreement.

"What Jubei said makes sense," Oda Nobunaga took a sip of tea, "Samurai should not lose their style no matter what time they are, Jubei, Yagoro Zo (Niwa Nagahide), after you two return to Kyoto, compile a book on the ethics of samurai and show it to future generations." ”

"Yes."

"But then again," Hashiba Hideyoshi asked suddenly; "Lord, do you really plan to let Asakura Jingjian go?"

"So, what do you think, monkey?"

"Please forgive your subordinates!" Yushiba Hideyoshi came out of the ranks, knelt in front of Oda Nobunaga with a solemn face, "Asakura Keiken is two or three of his virtues, there is no faith at all, he even dares to kill Asakura Yoshikei who gave him complete trust, how can such a ruthless and unrighteous villain be trusted?" Even if he is reincarnated in the animal path, it is not enough to wash away the sins of his life, and it is already the greatest benevolence and favor for you to give him seppuku, but you give him a way to live, and you plan to let him live in Kyoto, isn't it too ......"

The more the monkey spoke, the more excited we became, and we nodded in our hearts.

"Do you think I'm confused, monkey?" Oda Nobunaga had a straight face, but I noticed that his tone was not harsh.

"The subordinates don't dare."

"Let's take a look at two things first." Oda Nobunaga gave orders to the attendant beside him, and the attendant withdrew.

After a cup of tea, the attendant came back with two more boxes in his hand.

Each of us got angry in our hearts with a big question mark, what was in the box? The emperor ordered the investigation and punishment of the Asakura family and Kaga Ichimune's edict? Or is it the surrender of Kaga Ichijomune? Or ...... In short, what was taken out on this occasion was definitely not an ordinary thing.

The attendant slowly opened the two boxes, and the mystery was revealed.

It's two heads.

The two heads were no longer bloody, but they didn't smell bad, and it seemed that they hadn't been dead for long.

"Do you know who these two people are?"

In fact, we don't need to say it, we all know it.

Seven miles of Lai Zhou and Shimoma Lai Jun!

No one spoke, but their brains began to spin fast.

Poor Nishimura Jingyan, he was still tricked in the end, the heads of Qili Lai Zhou and Shimoma Lai Jun, in fact, have long been in the hands of Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga never thought of letting go of Asakura Keiken, he just delayed Asakura Keiken's death for three days, and in our minds, the bleak scene of the destruction of the Asakura family in Fuzhong City came to mind.

Murder and heartbreaking! This is what Oda Nobunaga loved to do, to give a person hope and then destroy that hope with his own hands.

"The lord is wise!" In the end, it is a monkey, Yushiba Hideyoshi's brain knows the fastest, "In this way, Asakura Jingjian will die without a place to be buried, such a villain, everyone will be punished!" Fujiyoshiro is willing to act as a pawn, and three days later, rush into Fuchu Castle, kill all these rebels, and deliver Asakura Keiken's head to you! ”

"Good! You can say that again! Oda Nobunaga was very appreciative of the monkey's positivity, "Monkey, you will be the vanguard, and after three days, you will attack Fuchu Castle head-on, Migoro Zuo, and Shibei, and you will attack from the flank and share the pressure of the monkey." ”

"Yes!"

I noticed that in the first place on Oda Nobunaga's left hand side, the lips of the chief fierce general Shibata Katsuya moved, and there was no doubt that as the first general of the Oda family, he was undoubtedly his favorite for this kind of task, but his mouth was slow, and he was preempted by his nemesis, Ha Shiba Hideyoshi, and he could only stare at the hateful monkey with resentful eyes.

Three days later, under the onslaught of the Oda army, Fuchu Castle, the last stronghold of the Ichizen forces, was broken, and the lord of the castle and the governor of the Asakura family, Asakura Keiken, set fire to the castle tower and committed suicide, and all of his civil and military officials were killed after surrendering to Oda Nobunaga.

It is worth mentioning that the aforementioned Nishimura Keigan walked out of Fuchu Castle on the eve of the siege of the Oda army, but he did not leave, but committed suicide by seppuku under the castle. He also gave his last bit of loyalty to the Asakura family.

After the generals reported his deeds to Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but be a little moved, and ordered his body to be dug up in the cemetery where he was hurriedly buried for a new burial, and his family was also preserved, becoming the only surviving bloodline among Asakura Keiken's retainers, which can be regarded as a reward for the life of this loyal minister.

As for that Asakura Keiken, after his death, the Asakura family was completely destroyed, and in this one-time-to-be-one, the vast majority of the Asakura old clan was killed by the crowd, and now even Asakura Keiken is dead, basically from now on, there is no samurai surnamed Asakura in Japan. So far, the Echizen Asakura clan, who has been in the limelight for a hundred years, is considered an absolute heir.

Before and after the reconquest of Vietnam, Oda Nobunaga continued the "Eastern Crusade", on September 22, the Oda army broke a large number of more than 20,000 people in the west of Kaga, and took advantage of the situation to attack Kaga's Nomi, Enuma two counties, for a time, Hokuriku has always been in danger, Oda army is less than 150 miles away from the "holy land" of Ozan Gobo in Kaga!

Honganji Xianru, the owner of Honganji Temple who was far away in Osaka, finally couldn't sit still, but because of Sakuma Nobumori's containment, he couldn't send troops to disturb to divert Nobunaga's attention, and Nobunaga withdrew his troops from the northern route.

As a last resort, in late September, he went to Kyoto to meet the emperor in person, hoping that this "national leader" who had no power but was very prestigious would come forward to mediate the war between Honganji and the Oda family.

The emperor was afraid of Nobunaga, but he didn't want to get into too much trouble with Honganji, so he sent the great Gondai Nayanyama Kototsugu, who had always been friendly with the Oda family, to Hokuriku to test Oda Nobunaga's meaning.

Oda Nobunaga finally decided to save face for the imperial court, so under the "mediation" of Yamashina Yantsugu: Nobunaga withdrew his troops from Hokuriku, Sakuma Nobumori of also temporarily stopped attacking Ishiyama, and the war between Honganji and the Oda family ended for many years (of course, everyone knows that this is temporary). Honganji Temple, on the other hand, ceded 200,000 koku of land to Nishikaga and 1.5 million kani of silver to Nobunaga.

In the case of Honganji cutting land and paying compensation, this vigorous Echizen Ichijo clan crusade ended with Oda Nobunaga's complete victory
