Chapter 788: The End of the Great Fox
Seeing Hosokawa Fujitaka's appearance, Ashikaga Yoshiki finally panicked.
"Someone! Hurry up and save Fujitaka! Ashikaga Yoshiaki's mouth shouted loudly.
The samurai who followed him were all samurai who had been loyal to the shogun from childhood to adulthood.
In response to Ashikaga Yoshiaki's order, he hurriedly assigned a part of his men to rescue Hosokawa Fujitaka, and the other part escorted Ashikaga Yoshiaki back to the izakaya.
In the face of Hashiba Hideyoshi's army, standing on the street is undoubtedly a death, but there is still a chance of life when retreating into an izakaya.
It's a pity that Hideyoshi Yushiba, who was moved by murderous intentions, since he had made up his mind to kill Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he naturally didn't expect that the other party would retreat to Izakaya.
The 10,000-strong cavalry team quickly slaughtered Hosokawa Fujitaka to the ground, killed all the samurai sent by Ashikaga Yoshiaki to the rescue, and then surrounded the small izakaya.
"Kankanwei, what do you think the world will say if we burn down this izakaya with a fire?" Hideyoshi Hashiba sat on horseback and looked at the izakaya with the entrance closed, and said viciously.
"The Great Hall, this is not appropriate. That's a general, after all, and we're not bandits! Kuroda Kanbei thought for a moment and stopped.
"Hmph, in that case, then the only thing left is to attack. It's a pity, if only we had an iron cannon team...... That damn devil! Hashiba Hideyoshi sighed, jumped off his horse and stomped his feet and scolded.
The Oda family has extremely strict control over the configuration of iron cannons, and basically unless Oda Nobuko or Wang Tianxie designates the allocation, all iron cannons in the family will be supplied to the Oda Oni Army first.
Therefore, now that all the Kansai region has fallen into the hands of the Oda family, there is not a single iron cannon in the army of Hideyoshi Hashiba.
It is worth mentioning that Azuchi Castle, which is the base of the Oda Oni Army, now has at least 6,000 iron cannons.
Two hours later, Hideyoshi Hashiba, accompanied by Kuroda Kanbei, walked into the izakaya again. Came to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who had been tightly bound by ropes.
The monkey first ordered everyone present to leave, and then looked at Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki hung his head, his face was pale, his whole body was constantly trembling, and the yellow-brown thing continued to flow from his kneeling position to the surroundings, filling the izakaya with a foul smell.
"Oops. Why did the samurai under his command treat the general's hall so rudely! Officers and soldiers, don't hurry up and untie those scary ropes! After admiring the miserable appearance of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Hideyoshi Hashiba danced and shouted loudly.
With a step of his right foot, Kuroda Kanbei came to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, drew the large sword at his waist with his right hand, and cut the rope that bound Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
"Chikuzen Mamoru Lord! Why are you? Have you forgotten what we just ......" Ashikaga Yoshiaki shouted angrily at Hideyoshi Hashiba.
"Shut up! Yaga! How could I, Hashiba Hideyoshi, do something that was sentenced to the Oda family! Hashiba Hideyoshi pointed at Ashikaga Yoshiaki and scolded.
However, as soon as he finished scolding, the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a very strange smile.
"But. Since the General's Hall hopes that Hideyoshi will bear the name of the unkind and unrighteous Shogun, why don't the General's Hall hand over your position to your subordinates? Hashiba Hideyoshi asked with a hippie smile and patted Ashikaga Yoshiaki's shoulder.
Kuroda Kanbei's face also showed a touch of cruelty, and he smiled gloomily at Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
"Nani? You, a lowly townman, want to be the shogun? Yaga! ”
After Ashikaga Yoshiaki listened to Hideyoshi's words, he let his trouser legs be stained with yellow-brown things, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Hideyoshi with a red face and scolded, and his words were extremely insulting.
"Wow!"
"Ah......h
Hashiba Hideyoshi's right hand grabbed the handle of the Taitai knife on his waist and jerked hard. The Tai Knife drew a semicircle and cut off Ashikaga Yoshiaki's fingers with a single sword.
"The General's Hall. I, Hideyoshi Hashiba, have been criticized for many years, and this taste is really uncomfortable! Hashiba Hideyoshi shook the big sword in his hand and shook the blood foam on the blade on the wooden floor.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki lay on the wooden floor, clutching his wrist in horror as he watched the wound that kept flowing with bright red liquid, and screamed like a pig.
"Alas. Officers and soldiers, serve a bowl of porridge to the General's Palace, we can't let the General's Hall go hungry! Hashiba Hideyoshi sat down not far from Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki screamed and wailed, and ordered Kuroda Kanbei beside him.
"Imperial Will!"
Soon. Kuroda Kanbei brought a tray with a pot of sake, a large bowl of porridge, and a salt-grilled mackerel and two slices of pickled radish.
"Oh, wine is a hurtful thing, bring it to me! It would not be good if the general's hall was to go on the road in a daze! Hashiba Hideyoshi glanced at the tray in Kuroda's hand and said with a grin.
As Hideyoshi Hashiba himself said, he was born in a town town, and if it weren't for Nobuko Oda's appreciation, he would have been nothing more than a small shrimp seller in Owari Province.
Even though he had traveled around the world, he knew all the families around Owari Province very well, and at the same time he was even more friendly to the wild samurai led by Koroku Wasuka. However, he simply did not have the money (body) to occupy a place in this troubled era of the Warring States.
Even in the eyes of Oda Nobuko, he is just a very useful clown, otherwise he would not have been called a "monkey" by Oda Nobuko in public.
Even though it has now become a topic of exploration in the Western Kingdom, Oda Nobuko will still jokingly call him "monkey" when facing him, and in the final analysis, it is still a matter of his blood and bloodline.
But it is precisely because of the constant oppression that he has always regarded himself as "the first person in the world" that he will continue to look for opportunities for speculation, and he is bound to become a superior person and no longer be looked down upon by others.
Seeing that he is about to succeed now, in the face of such a "personal attack" words from Ashikaga Yoshiaki, how could Hashiba Hideyoshi not go wild and go crazy!
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was very miserable.
After giving Ashikaga Yoshiaki a very rich bento, the monkey sent him mercilessly to the Santugawa River to go through the immigration procedures.
What makes Ashikaga Yoshiaki even more sad is that although Hashiba Hideyoshi said how and how to send Ashikaga Yoshiaki decently, he did not give himself the opportunity to cut the stomach, the highest etiquette of the samurai, but asked Kuroda Kanbei to make a cameo as an executioner.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki died, and was beheaded by Kuroda Kanbei. After that, Hashiba Hideyoshi's 50,000 army array set off again, galloping in the direction of Azuchi Castle.
It was very inconvenient to convey information about this troubled era of the Warring States, and except for the culprits Hideyoshi Hashiba and Kuroda Kanbei, only the townspeople near the Awaji Waterway Port in Harima Province were vaguely aware of this matter for the time being.
With the fall of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the Ashikaga shogunate, who had been very glorious since 1338, finally completely perished under the madness of the monkeys after more than 200 years and a total of 16 generations.
As for the other side, the two of them, Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxi, who are violent and overage, are sitting in the Azuchi Castle Castle Tower with a frown at this time.
"The main hall, could it be that you made a mistake in judgment, Lord Yushiba actually didn't ......" The elders and important ministers present looked at Oda Nobuko with suspicious eyes, and even had no good face towards Mitsuhide Lori.
After all, Yushiba Hideyoshi is the second oldest member of the family, and no matter how sloppy he is, he will occasionally give some small gifts to the rest of his colleagues in the family.
On the contrary, as one of Wang Tianxie's wives, Guangxiu Da Lori naturally would not do these small actions such as buying people's hearts.
Therefore, everyone will always have a trace of suspicion when Mitsuhide Lori said that Yushiba Hideyoshi instigated "him" to rebel, even if they have believed it in the personal statements of Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxi.
Today is the evening of February 18th, and according to Oda Nobuko, Hideyoshi Hashiba should have arrived at Azuchi Castle yesterday and prepared to fight Mitsuhide Lori to the death.
However, until a full day passed, there was not even a trace of Yushiba Hideyoshi, which made the elders and important ministers here feel a little cheated.
Hawkers, no way, who called Oda Nobuko to pretend to be crazy and stupid and live a low-key life at the instigation of Wang Tianxie, which made the old and important ministers in the family miserable at that time, and even thought that the Oda family of the "Owari Country Big Cat" Oda Nobuhide family was at the end of the road!
Everyone had to wonder if Nobuko Oda was pretending to be crazy and stupid and had another attack.
Oda Nobuko glanced at Wang Tianxie beside him, and his heart was also full of worry.
She wasn't skeptical about the monkey's betrayal, she was worried about whether it would affect morale if the monkey didn't show up.
After all, a whole day had passed, and the expected enemy had still not arrived.
"The main hall, the ninja is coming! Yuchai has entered the Gyeonggi area, with an army of about 50,000, and the goal is directly aimed at Azuchi, and it is estimated that there is still a day to go. ”
Before Nobuko Oda could answer, Rimaru Moririmaru, one of Nobuko's guards, ran into the main hall and knelt on the ground to pray.
"Nani? Is it really coming? This ......"
All the elders and important ministers present suddenly screamed, their faces showed a touch of shame, and they didn't dare to look at Guangxiu Da Lori.
"The main hall, according to the ninja report, there is another gossip that Hashiba Hideyoshi will be the general of the main hall...... Death! Moririmaru knelt on the wooden floor, hesitated and continued.
"Nani? Is Ashikaga Yoshiaki dead? Killed by that monkey? ”
Oda Nobuko was taken aback when she heard Mori Rimaru's words. Even all the family elders and important ministers, including Wang Tianxie, had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Rikimaru, what the hell did the ninja say?" Wang Tianxie's face was also full of surprise, and he asked loudly at Mori Limaru.
Of course, no one knows how big the excitement in his heart is.
At this moment, Wang Tianxie almost wanted to hold the monkey in his arms and kiss him fiercely, and then shouted to him: "Good man! (To be continued......)
