The capture of three Ataka ships is such a big thing that must not be hidden from others, especially on the Kamogawa River near Kyoto, Kira Yoshitomi even dared to take the baked jade to throw bombs on the source of the six rivers to play, such a big movement immediately alarmed the whole of Kyoto, and the news of Kira Yoshitoki's victory naturally flew all over Kyoto like wings.

In order to prevent the true story of the battle from being leaked out prematurely, Kira Yoshitoki immediately called the chief of the Hattori security guard and instructed him: "Go to Kyoto immediately to walk the rumors, all kinds of rumors, outrageous and reliable, spread as soon as possible, in short, do not let others guess the true situation of the battle, and if someone says the truth, it must be distorted as soon as possible." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty understands! Hattori quickly retreated, Yamamoto Tokiyuki sat there leisurely drinking tea with a teacup that he had drawn from nowhere, and Kira Yoshitoki asked with a smile, "Don't you want to say something?" ”

"Hmm! Is it to remind the old minister that he should praise the hall master? Well! The owner of the hall is really smart and decisive, there is a generation of famous generals, the old minister last night to observe the sky, found that a bright star was born, pinching his fingers to calculate this is a sign of the shogunate's prosperity! Hehehe......" The old man looked up at the sky, with a look of "the weather is good today, the sky is clear", and he choked and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Hey! I'm not asking you to say that! Said something else, such as the good fight just now! And the rumor scheme is very good! "Kira Yoshitoki felt that if he died one day, he would be angry with this guy.

"Instead of caring about such minutiae! The old minister thinks that it is better for the owner of the museum to care about the problems of Kyoto! Yamamoto Tokikiki said with a smile, turning this battle into a "trivial" directly from his mouth, which made Kira Yoshitoki choked up again.

"The problem in Kyoto? What can be wrong with Kyoto? The master must be old and confused! Hum! Ji Liang Yoshishi turned around and walked into the distance and ignored him, this old man is disrespectful to the old man, and his words are all kinds of unreliable, what can a group of royal ministers in Kyoto do.

Soon various versions of rumors appeared in Kyoto, such as the mighty Hachiman Bodhisattva, the protection of the great god Inari, the thunder of the heavenly god who killed the brutal Miyoshi water army, and so on, and there are even rumors that Ashikaga Yoshito did it in Jishoji Temple, beheaded Noguchi Fudanaga with a wave of his sword, and Ashikaga Yoshiharu appeared to kill the Awaji water army at the Great Imperial Palace.

Anyway, Kyoto was under martial law in advance during the war, and no outsiders could watch the situation at that time, and in the end, these rumors were spread more and more by people with intentions, and it was even said that the emperor prayed for Amaterasu to send down a divine fire and burn to death these rebel ministers who dared to invade Kyoto, and this incident finally alarmed the emperor Ouchiri, and he sent the first prince, Prince Fanghito, to go out of Ouchi to investigate the situation outside Kyoto.

"I'll go! What a good spirit, not a bad spirit! Speaking of Kyoto's problems, Kyoto really has problems! "The first time Kira Yoshitoshi saw the imperial family, or when the first prince of today's emperor, Prince Fanghito, the first prince is not sick, no disaster and no mistakes, he is sure to be the next emperor, this Prince Fanghito is the Emperor Shokincho who succeeded to the throne a few years later.

Kira Yoshishi hurriedly saluted to see this Prince Fangren, although the samurai have always been respectful of the emperor's family, but when it comes to the rules and luggage, it is more formal than seeing the great imperial palace Ashikaga Yoshiharu, and he almost didn't change into his court clothes of the five lower left soldiers, not only he was dumbfounded, the samurai of the Kira family were dumbfounded, the prince where have they ever seen, the emperor is said to be the son of the gods, the gods who walk in the world, in the feudal superstition of the Middle Ages, this deterrent is not small.

At this time, Prince Fangren was young, in his thirties, although he could not see the specific appearance with powder on his face, but the prince's demeanor was very elegant, and he was also very kind to the samurai of Kira Yoshitoki, and he did not underestimate his age at all.

Anyway, if you say something complimenting in the weird royal crane sound, the crane sound is a bunch of classical Chinese pronounced in Old Japanese, which sounds very laborious but can barely understand the general meaning.

Just as he was about to return to Ouchiri, Kira Yoshitoki suddenly said, "Please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to keep the truth of this battle, it is related to the restoration of my shogunate!" Please keep it a secret! ”

"Huh? Lone understood! The prince looked surprised, but he smiled and nodded, and then drove back to the Great Interior, and the ox cart covered by the curtain slowly left, and Kira Yoshishi exhaled lightly and said secretly: "We gambled again this time!" The Emperor of Shokin-cho kept a secret for me! ”

The three Ataka boats were towed back to Lake Biwa the next day, and I have to say that Noguchi Fudanaga was really stupid, and the only rivers in the Yodo River system that are shallower and narrower than the Kamogawa River are small tributaries such as the Yamana River, and the other main streams, whether they are the Katsura River or the Uji River, are very wide, and the waterways are very deep, and even the sea boats that walk the Nanban are no problem, but he just broke into this tributary with a naval army, turning the originally undefeated game into a complete victory.

A few days later, Miyoshi Chokei, who was sitting in Akutagawa Mountain Castle, received a bunch of specious news, no one could tell how Noguchi Fuyunaga was defeated, it is said that some people saw Ashikaga Nichi and two flags hanging on the ship, and some people said that it was actually the Yodogawa Water Army Flag, and more said that it was the Oni King Flag, or even no flag at all.

No one knows how he was defeated in the end, whether it was the divine fire from the sky or the divine thunder, it was unreliable, Matsunaga Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be an iron cannon?" According to Ise Sadataka, there were many iron cannons in that navy that made loud noises and white mist, and his subordinates suspected that there must be something involved. ”

Yasunaga Miyoshi, who has always been not on good terms with Matsunaga Xiu, immediately disagreed: "Hmph! His Royal Highness Matsunaga is not right, right? How can an iron cannon fire? But many people say that when they see the flames rising into the sky and drifting black smoke into the sky, does the iron cannon have that ability? Even the possibility of baking is far greater than that of iron cannons! ”

"Roasting! Right! It must be baking! His Royal Highness Kang Chang really woke up the dreamer with a word! This sentence woke up everyone in the field, the direct ministers of the Miyoshi family did not have a straw bag, they were all elite samurai who survived the battle, but they were also misled by rumors and couldn't figure it out for a while, and some people immediately figured it out after a little bit.

Miyoshi Yasucho originally just wanted to say goodbye to Matsunaga Xiu, but now when he heard everyone's praise, he hurriedly greeted his colleagues, Matsunaga Xiu's face was very unsightly, he only slightly involved in the way of military strategy, and he only knew a rough idea of things in the navy.

"Hmmm! The possibility of baking is very high! Jiuxiu! Check the movements of the Mishima Navy in recent months, and whether there is any movement into Kinai? Miyoshi Chokei immediately became suspicious, and even thought that the Mishima Navy, who was good at using baked jade, had colluded with the Shogunate in Kyoto, and only the Mishima Navy's army had the strength to completely annihilate a light and unprepared Awaji Navy.

"Yes!" Matsunaga replied respectfully.

Miyoshi Changqing thought for a while, then took a pen and paper and wrote down a letterhead, called the little surname and instructed: "Give this letter to Dongyasu, let him pay close attention to the actions of the Mishima naval army, and no disturbance in the Seto Inland Sea shall not relax his vigilance!" Especially the movement of the Ouchi family in Zhoufang! ”

"The lord means the Ouchi family......" The ministers of the Miyoshi family had a frightened expression.

"It's not...... It's just a suspicion! "Miyoshi Changqing is also a solemn face, the horror of the Ouchi family is simply a lingering shadow on the Kinai, presumably the fierce Miyoshi family, the people of Kinai are more afraid of the Ouchi family in the west, Ouchi Yoshixing left a deep impression on Kinai, and the famous general Hosokawa Masaki spilled the Luohan Bridge in the battle of Funayama.

Although Ouchi Yoshiko's reign in Kyoto was not long, it left a deep impression on many people, and the fierceness and ferocity of the Saikoku samurai were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Miyoshi Nagakei's great-grandfather Miyoshi did not dare to compete with Ouchi Yoshiko, and from that day on, the shadow of the Nishikoku Ouchi family was like an invisible ghost, and it always existed in the hearts of people who experienced that era.
