When Ishida said that he was going to push Takeuchi out, Tanaka's heart couldn't help but snicker.

In his opinion, as long as the culprit is pushed out, their guilt will be reduced a lot. After all, it wasn't them who provoked those foreigners to shell Osaka's commercial town, but the old bastard in Takeuchi.

Although they lost the battle, they always found some excuses.

Tanaka knew very well in his heart that the tactics of those foreigners were actually very powerful. In particular, their use of iron cannons is simply the pinnacle.

The five-dan shooting combined with the circle tactics of the cavalry simply brought Tanaka an extraordinary shock.

It's just that their forces are too small, and if they have more troops, they will not be able to be defeated if they have already contacted their own side, and they will not hold out for so long at all.

In fact, Tanaka has already come back to the taste at this time.

The scenes from the earlier battles kept replaying in his mind.

Tanaka's recollections can basically determine that in fact, the suppression and dominance at the beginning were all illusions.

Those foreigners didn't take it seriously at all.

In other words, in the face of the attack of their own people, they simply have a way to deal with it.

With less than 1,000 men, he was able to fight with 5,000 of his own troops, and he also achieved the most decisive victory, which shows that the opponent's army is very unusual.

Therefore, when the army from the shogunate's side comes, it is not necessarily possible to get something good out of it.

It is even said that the fate of the shogunate army will be the same as theirs.

At that time, it is estimated that these people will no longer have any guilt.

Tanaka couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought of this.

At this moment, he wished that the shogunate's army would arrive quickly, and then fight with those foreigners, and then be beaten by the foreigners and flee.

It's just that Tanaka also knows that this is not a realistic thing.

Ishida Aido and Tanaka returned to Osaka Castle in a panic along the way.

As soon as you enter Osaka Castle. Ishida Aido ordered the gate to be closed, and then quickly wrote a song and sent someone to send it to the shogunate in Edo.

After doing all this, Ishida Aido often took a breath and came to the attic of Osaka Castle, looked at Zhao Hongyu and sat down in the direction where they were stationed.

In Ishida Aido's body, a sense of powerlessness kept pouring out, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

However, today's experience made him unable to get rid of this feeling.

Am I having a bad year this year?

Didn't you look at the yellow calendar when you went out?

What bad luck.

However, if you really talk about it, you still have to blame that Takeuchi.

If it weren't for his insatiable greed. There's no way this would have happened.

It's all him! It's all him!

It's all his reason that he will get to this step.

It is precisely because of him that he offends those fierce foreigners.

Because of him, the once prosperous commercial town of Osaka is now in ruins, and the economy of Osaka Castle will be ruined in at least a year.

Without the Osaka Commercial Town, wouldn't he be penniless as the lord of the city.

His grandmother's, this damn Takeuchi.

Ishida Aimichi, who was sitting there, cursed resentfully.

After Ishida Aido and his party returned to Osaka Castle, Takeuchi, who had stayed in Osaka Castle, found that everyone's face was not good, so he didn't get together.

Fortunately, he has such a little bit of vision. If he had made it up, he would have been beaten.

After all, because of his greed, everyone now has to face defeat and punishment. Therefore, no one will give him any good looks.

Everyone who passes by him treats him as if he were a transparent person.

Even, when Ishida Aido passed by him, he glared at him hatefully.

Seriously. No matter how idiotic Takeuchi is, he understands what situation he is in now.

However, didn't Ishida Aido and the others go out to fight those foreigners?

Why did they come back so quickly?

And Ishida Hemichi and they were all dejected. The armor is crooked, which is a bit like losing a battle.

Ren Takeuchi suddenly had such an idea.

Immediately, he was taken aback by this thought of his own.

No way!

He looked at the backs of everyone in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sudden burst.

Originally, when Ishida Aido and the others set off, Takeuchi didn't think about it so much at all.

In his opinion, 5,000 people to deal with those foreigners must be a matter of hand.

But who would have thought that they would be defeated.

Could it be that those foreigners are really so powerful?

Takeuchi's body couldn't help but tremble.

Well, because of his own reasons, Osaka Commercial Town was razed to the ground by shelling, and the lord of Osaka Castle went to take revenge, but he was also defeated.

Oh my God, who did I offend, how could they be so powerful.

Isn't it just a little bit of money, as for it!

Takeuchi really wanted to cry now, but he couldn't.

My good daughter, I hope you can say good things about your Lao Tzu on the shogun's side, otherwise your Lao Tzu will really have to explain here this time.

Takeuchi couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart.

However, Takeuchi was also very puzzled in his heart, how could Ishida Hedao lead 5,000 troops to attack, how could they fail so quickly.

It's a very unconscionable thing.

Besides, no matter how strong and powerful those foreigners are, the places where they fight are in Japan, if nothing else, if you want to say that you are familiar with the terrain here, it must be that they are powerful snakes.

Moreover, fighting at home and fighting on the outside are completely different psychologically.

It can be seen that the situation is very unfavorable for those foreigners.

But with such an advantage, how could Ishida Aido still fail?

I really can't figure it out.

Because Takeuchi couldn't figure it out, he found an acquaintance of one of the Hachimoto samurai who had returned to Osaka Castle with Ishida Aido, hoping to find out what was going on from the acquaintance.

Since returning to Osaka Castle, Ishida Aido and the others have no mind to pay attention to Takeuchi.

Everyone was worried that the foreigners would take the opportunity to attack Osaka Castle, after all, they had lost a large number of soldiers in the midnight battle. All of a sudden, Osaka Castle's military strength was emptied.

If those foreigners take the opportunity to attack Osaka Castle at this time, then Osaka Castle will not be spared.

If they could, Ishida Aido and they really wanted to leave Osaka Castle, but their status meant that they couldn't go this way.

The lords and samurai of Osaka Castle left Osaka Castle, which was supposed to be garrisoned by them, so no matter what the outcome of the battle was, then they would have to commit suicide.

It was precisely because of such a rule that Ishida Aido and the others could only return to Osaka Castle and then try their best to gather men to garrison Osaka Castle to guard against the attack of those foreigners.

It can be seen that after that station. Ishida said that they were already frightened.

As for Takeuchi, he still doesn't know that he is about to be pushed out of Lu as a scapegoat.

Of course, it is not very appropriate to say that he is a scapegoat, after all, it is because of him that the cause of this incident.

If it weren't for him, things wouldn't have gotten so bad as this.

At this time, Takeuchi had already found that acquaintance of his, and was asking about the battle at midnight to understand the reason for their defeat.

Takeuchi's acquaintance was a samurai over forty years old.

This samurai loved to gamble. And every gamble is bound to lose, so I owe Takeuchi a lot of money.

Who made Takeuchi the biggest loan shark merchant in the Osaka area?

"Ito, tell me honestly, how is your battle today?"

After finding the acquaintance who was busy with his work. Takeuchi pulled him into a secluded corner and immediately asked.

"Lord Takeuchi, when is it now, you still have the heart to ask me about this. I'm going to gather some men right now to defend Osaka Castle. But I don't have time to talk to you about these things. ”

This samurai named Ito was obviously reluctant to talk to Takeuchi.

However, Takeuchi didn't mean to let him go.

"Ito. You owe me a lot of money. Are you going to treat me with this attitude? ”

Takeuchi narrowed his eyes and looked at Ito with a grim expression.

Under the gaze of Takeuchi's expression, Ito finally gave in.

"We were defeated, and those foreigners were very powerful. We had fled, and the cavalry, ashigaru, and militia had all been routed, and there were no decent soldiers left with Ishida-sama except for us. ”

Ito quickly told Takeuchi about this.

"What, you're defeated."

Takeuchi lost his voice.

Although Takeuchi had already guessed about this, he was still shocked when he really heard this fact.

That's incredible, isn't it?

How did he lose the war?

"Didn't Ishida Aido lead 5,000 men to crusade against those foreigners, why did he fail? Could it be that those foreigners are very powerful? ”

Takeuchi grabbed Ito's arm to prevent him from slipping away, and continued to ask.

In Takeuchi's heart, there were too many things that made him wonder.

Ito really didn't want to be so wordy with Takeuchi, after all, he hated Takeuchi, and he still had a task on his body now.

If he continues to entangle with Takeuchi here, there will be no way to complete his mission.

If you can't complete the task, the adults who are in a bad mood at the end of the day will have to ship the goods with their own anger.

That's really unlucky, isn't it.

"Lord Takeuchi, please let me go. I will gather some young men in the city, and take them to guard the city against the foreigners. If you hold me like this, I won't be able to complete the task, and I'll be unlucky at the worst. ”

But after all, Takeuchi was the father-in-law of the shogun, and he didn't dare to offend this little banner.

Therefore, Ito could only plead bitterly, hoping that Takeuchi could let go of himself and let him go.

But how could Takeuchi let him go so easily. (To be continued......)
