Chapter 481: Five Million Taels' Fortune
As Miyoshi Changqing, Hosokawa Chengyuan and other high-level people reacted, the samurai standing beside them drew their long knives one by one to block in front of these high-level people, and at the same time, several fire guns were aimed at the figure of the Venerable Master.
In the midst of the smoke of gunpowder, the Venerable Master's figure avoided the firebolts, and at the same time, the string of Buddhist beads in his hand suddenly shot out like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the dozen or so warriors who pounced on the Venerable Master on the spot burst into blood between their eyebrows, and they were stunned by the Buddha beads piercing their heads.
Puff, puff, with the samurai lying on the spot one by one, Miyoshi Nagakei, Hosokawa Sumimoto and others turned extremely pale.
Fortunately, Miyoshi Changqing and Hosokawa Chengyuan are not the kind of complete waste, seeing that the witness is as close as the master, he knows very well in his heart that at this time, he may still have a chance to live, if he really gives up, then there is really only a dead end.
"Everyone fought with him!"
It's a pity that almost most of the high-level leaders of the Miyoshi family and the Hosokawa family have been raised as wastes in their rich lives, and there are very few people who really have a bit of blood and can afford to hold swords and guns.
Although the Venerable Master said that he had no chance of winning in front of Chu Yi, he was an invincible existence when facing Hosokawa Chengyuan and others.
It was just a blink of an eye, and Hosokawa Chengyuan and Miyoshi Changqing were sealed by the Venerable Master and thrown aside, while the others were all killed by the Venerable Master.
On the city wall, with the death of Hosokawa Chengyuan, Miyoshi Changqing and others, the captured were captured, even if the two families were united before, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in this city.
If it weren't for the fact that the high-level was almost wiped out, it would be really difficult to break through this city with tens of thousands of defenders.
The Venerable Master looked at the chaotic scene around him and let out a long roar, holding the figures of Hosokawa Sumimoto and Miyoshi Changqing in his hands, and shouted: "Everyone lay down their weapons and surrender without killing!" ”
Among the two soldiers, there are naturally a group of people who are loyal to the Miyoshi family and the Hosokawa family, although there are not many people, but among the tens of thousands of people, there are hundreds of people.
These hundreds of diehards have not been able to gather together, so although these people shouted at their companions, they could not change the overall situation.
Especially when under the city wall, at a glance, the black pressure is almost invisible, and the Ming soldiers and horses erect siege ladders on the city wall, and the situation that has fallen into chaos because the high-rise has been wiped out is even more chaotic.
When a famous Ming soldier climbed the city wall along the siege ladder in the midst of weak resistance, it was like the last straw that overwhelmed the scales, and a large number of Dongying soldiers began to drop their weapons and chose to surrender.
But all the soldiers who refused to put down their weapons were shot and killed on the spot by the Ming soldiers, and it was only half an hour, and the entire Xishan City completely fell.
Chang Kui, Sun Li, and Zhao Tong watched as the groups of soldiers were tied up in a string and escorted out of the city, with extremely calm expressions on their faces.
They had all seen this situation more than once, and everyone knew very well the combat effectiveness of Dongying's soldiers.
As long as most of the elite warriors in the Dongying soldiers are killed, then the entire team will collapse all at once, and no matter how many people there are, it will just look like a huge momentum.
A day later, when Chu Yi led a large army into Xishan City, the news of the destruction of the Setjin Kingdom also spread.
In fact, when the Ming Dynasty marched into the Settsu Kingdom, several other countries in the ten countries had also been paying attention to the Ming Dynasty's every move.
For this reason, some of the ten countries of even secretly discussed and invited the Venerable Master and the Wind Demon Kotaro to assassinate Chu Yi, trying to change the overall situation in this way.
It's a pity that neither the Wind Demon Kotaro nor the Venerable Witness are Chu Yi's opponents, and even the Venerable Venerable chose to surrender.
The destruction of Settsu Province is a bit shocking, but it's just a natural thing.
The daimyo of Yamashiro Province, Kawachi Province, Iga Province and other countries are gathering here.
This is a canyon, in this canyon, a continuous military camp under black pressure, you can calculate at a glance, this military camp is only afraid of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
This is the coalition of several other countries in the ten countries of, because the coalition is composed of various countries, and even in the face of the threat of the destruction of the country, these daimyo are still at odds with each other and fighting for power.
However, these daimyo also know one thing in their hearts, that is, if they can't have one mind, even if they gather more people, they are afraid that they will not be the opponents of the Ming Dynasty.
However, there were many contradictions between everyone, and there were people who opposed anyone to become the leader of the coalition forces, but in the end, the daimyo chose the contemporary shogun Ashikaga Yoshinoki as the leader of the coalition forces.
Of course, the shogunate power of the Ashikaga clan had already declined, otherwise it would not have been possible to make dozens of large and small countries appear in a mere place of Toei.
Ashikaga Yoshinoki General Shogunate's orders may not be able to leave Kyoto, and he may not know that he has somehow become the leader of the coalition forces of several countries.
Several daimyos, such as the Daimyo of Iga Province and the Daimyo of Yamashiro Province, looked at the battle report just now with solemn expressions.
The battle report records in detail how Nishiyama Castle was breached, and the most striking thing is that the Venerable Master defected to the enemy, and even personally took down Hosokawa Sumimoto, Miyoshi Chokei and others.
As a famous generation of virtuous monks in Dongying, the Venerable Master is like a god, but at this time he chose to defect to the enemy, so you can imagine what kind of impact it will have.
You must know that several of the daimyo present were followers of the Venerable Master, and the surrender of the Venerable Master made the color of these daimyo change, and they even couldn't help but feel discouraged, and they had the posture of withdrawing from the coalition forces.
Fortunately, Fujiwara Gongnori, the guardian of Iga Country, reprimanded him angrily and woke up several fearful daimyos, and finally managed to maintain the coalition without collapsing.
Fujiwara Konori, among several daimyos, can be said to be very prestigious, although it is said that because of the contradictions between each other, he was not able to become the leader of the coalition army, but in the case of Haruka Ashikaga Yoshinoki as the leader, in fact, the right to speak in the coalition army is faintly in the hands of Fujiwara Konori.
Several daimyo were a little confused, and their eyes fell on Fujiwara Gongzhi, only to hear one daimyo look at Fujiwara Gongren and say: "Fujiwara-kun, you have also seen it, even if a god-like figure like the Venerable Master has surrendered to the Ming army, can we really resist the Ming army?" ”
The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty have destroyed more than a dozen large and small countries, it can be said that there is a thunderstorm, and there is no country that can resist the charge of the Ming soldiers and horses.
Fujiwara Gongze's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Don't forget, even if we choose to surrender, I'm afraid that the end will not be much better, and the Ming Dynasty is not an invincible existence, and I am blessed by the gods of freedom, as long as everyone unites, it is not impossible to drive these hateful Ming people out of my Dongying land." ”
By Fujiwara Gongno said this, everyone's morale finally improved slightly, even if they knew that Fujiwara Gongnori was very watery, but everyone also chose to grit their teeth and fight, otherwise, let them tie their hands and capture, they are really unwilling.
Fujiwara Gong coughed lightly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since the Venerable Master and the Wind Demon Monarch failed to assassinate, then the plan we originally agreed to take advantage of the chaos to raid has to be changed. ”
A daimyo looked at Fujiwara and said, "Fujiwara-kun, do you have any good strategies to turn the situation around?" ”
Fujiwara Gong narrowed his eyes and said: "The time and place are favorable, we all occupy it, as long as we lead the army to ambush the Ming soldiers and horses, it is not impossible to inflict heavy damage on the Ming army." ”
While speaking, Fujiwara and the others had another secret discussion, and finally agreed on what to do next.
The Ming soldiers and horses entered Xishan City in just two days to completely complete the occupation of Xishan City, and all the magnates in the city were taken, and the Miyoshi family and the Hosokawa family were the two most noble families in the Settsu country, and their wealth was naturally extremely amazing.
In particular, the Hosokawa family occupied the Settsu Province and had a deep relationship with the Ming merchants, and almost occupied most of the trade between the region and the Ming Dynasty.
It is conceivable that the Hosokawa family can seek how much profit it can seek in occupying the initiative of Daming commerce, and it is precisely with the continuous supply of business interests that the Hosokawa family will gradually lose its fighting spirit, and generations of clansmen will be corrupted, which will make the Miyoshi family gradually replace the Hosokawa family.
However, even if the Hosokawa family has declined now, the heritage still exists, or the huge wealth accumulated by the Hosokawa family over the years has been well preserved.
Although the Hosokawa family said that there was already a scene of the twilight of the western mountains, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, compared to the increasingly prosperous Miyoshi clan, the Hosokawa family was more strong in the wealth accumulated over the years, as for the talent of the family, it was too bad.
Of course, in the case of Nishiyama Castle being breached, whether it is the wealth of the Hosokawa family or the talent of the Miyoshi family, it is meaningless at all.
When the Hosokawa family's underground treasure house buried deep underground was dug up, it caused a great sensation, even Chu Yi was there in person.
The gold, silver, and various jewels and jade excavated in the Hosokawa family's treasury were worth more than three million taels.
You must know that among the so many large and small countries that Chu Yi and they have destroyed, most of the daimyo families have a wealth of only a few hundred thousand taels, and the Hosokawa family is actually several times more than these large and small countries.
The Hosokawa family is worthy of being a family that monopolizes most of the interests of the ten kingdoms of and the Ming Dynasty, and over the years, it has accumulated a lot of wealth, but it is a pity that these wealth are now in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
Among the dozens of countries in Toei, there are only a few countries that can really be called rich, such as Iwami Province and Settsu Province.
When there were almost five million gold, silver and jewels piled up together, even the soldiers in charge of guarding them couldn't help but look sideways.
Among the five million gold, silver and jewelry, the Hosokawa family almost accounted for more than three million taels, and the Miyoshi family also searched hundreds of thousands of taels, plus some powerful people in the Settsu country, but they scavenged a huge wealth that made all the generals and even Chu Yi look at it.
A large ship slowly carrying millions of taels of wealth, escorted by several ships, gradually disappeared above the harbor, and went straight to Daming.
Kyoto as the political and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty, although it is said that the shogun's power is sidelined, but for hundreds of thousands of years, Kyoto is recognized as the residence of the emperor in Toei, the shogun's place of power, occupy the place of Kyoto, occupy the general trend of the world.
And Chu Yi also came straight to Kyoto, once Kyoto is occupied, it will inevitably bring a great blow to the countries of Dongying.
The Hangoi Kingdom was completely destroyed with little resistance due to the fact that the soldiers and horses of the country were taken away, and after the Kawachi Province and then forward, Kyoto was located.
For the Toei daimyō, traveling from the local area to Kyoto was also called a joku, and it was a means of asserting his military might.
But for Chu Yi, going to Kyoto was also a means of promoting the Ming Dynasty's military force, and the two had the same purpose, but the results were different.
Once the Toei local daimyo succeeded in ascending to the throne, there was a great hope that the Toei would be unified and a new shogunate would be established, and a period of relative peace would begin.
If Chu Yi said that he led the army to successfully enter Kyoto, although Dongying did not dare to say that he would destroy the country, he was afraid that he would also be greatly injured, and since then he has sunk, and there is no hope of unification.
It's a nameless canyon, and the canyon is so steep that at its narrowest point that there is almost enough room for a horse-drawn carriage to go forward, which can be described as extremely dangerous.
However, this is the closest road to Kyoto, which can save about two or three days of time.
Chang Kui, who was named a pioneer, rode a tall horse, frowning and looking at the dangerous canyon in front of him, although Chang Kui said that he looked like he had no scheming, but he also read the art of war, so when he saw the canyon Ade, Chang Kui decisively ordered the army to stop even if he was proud.
After ordering the vanguard army to be stationed on the spot, Chang Kui personally ordered his personal guards, and then led a dozen sentinels to gallop straight towards the canyon on fast horses.
Originally, it was necessary to survey the terrain and determine if there were any ambushes around the canyon, and so on, and so on, and leave it to the experienced sentinels.
However, Chang Kui personally went out and did not dare to be careless at all, after all, once the enemy army was ambushed near this canyon, it would be fatal to the threat of the vanguard army.
