Chapter 103: Oda Nobunaga, give you the glory of a samurai!
All in all, the Imagawa family's strategy against Owari was a great success. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because Imagawa Yoshimoto is still alive, the matter of revenge cannot be constructed. Gao Xianda was extraordinarily gracious and did not kill Oda Nobunaga to take revenge.
If Oda Nobunaga had chosen to surrender when the city was besieged, Takasenda might have accepted his submission. With his talents, it is more than enough to be the lord of a city and a country.
But Oda Nobunaga did not seize the opportunity, and at the instigation of Harusaburo, he sent troops to attack Gao Xianda, causing great damage to Gao Xianda's troops, and also captured Gao Xianda into Narumi Castle, almost turning the tables.
This shows that Oda Nobunaga's sense of battle and resistance is very strong, and he will never be subservient to others. Even if he can surrender temporarily, it will never last long, he is like a time bomb, which may explode at any time.
And Oda Nobunaga is different from other military generals. During the Warring States period in Japan, Oda Nobunaga belonged to the fighters who were the main characters. Not only is he strong, but he is also so lucky that every time he is about to lose, a turning point will happen.
His luck is the misfortune of his enemies.
"You go out of your house and become a monk, and I will spare your life." Gao Xianda hesitated again and again, and gave the final condition, hoping that Oda Nobunaga would stay away from the political center.
"Forget it, life has been in a hurry for fifty years, like morning dew." Oda Nobunaga replied, "As a samurai, I already have the consciousness of death. ”
Oda Nobunaga himself did not believe in Buddhism, and was especially disgusted by the monks who could eat meat, marry wives, enclose land, and raise soldiers in Japan's native Buddhism. So he would rather die than become a monk.
What is the joy of life, and why is it so painful to die?
Oda Nobunaga put on a great show on his stage, but due to political considerations, Kosenda could not keep him. Other samurai aside, as long as Oda Nobunaga doesn't die, the samurai trio will still have the idea of supporting him to ascend to the throne.
So Oda Nobunaga had no choice but to die. Gao Xianda regretted this.
"My lord, I hope you can be my intermediary." Oda Nobunaga suddenly came up with such a sentence.
The Japanese samurai seppuku, who had to endure severe pain, used a short knife to cut twice horizontally and vertically in the stomach, forming a cross-shaped gap to show his glory. And this way of dying is very painful, and it takes someone to quickly cut off the head of the seppuku man after he has completed the cutting to alleviate his pain.
This person who cut off his head is called the wrong person.
Contrary to the traditional Chinese executioner, the beheaded person will not only not resent the person who intersected him, but will even be grateful. Because a good intermediary can cut off the head of the seppuku with a clean knife to alleviate his pain. But a person who is not strong in skills is likely to be cut off with a few knives.
Oda Nobunaga can let Gao Xianda be his intermediary, which shows that he has a lot of trust in Gao Xianda.
Gao Xianda said: "I have never met you in my life, this is the first time we have met, why do you trust me so much?" I've never played the role of the wrong person. ”
"The disciple of the Heavenly True Incense Qu Divine Dao Stream, the swordsmanship will not be too bad." Oda Nobunaga smiled, "I used to think that I was a hero, a dragon that could soar into the sky. Even in the face of the Imagawa family's 20,000 troops, I am not afraid. But you defeated me, completely. Therefore, you are the dragon that can take off, and you will definitely soar to the sky. It is my glory that you have made mistakes for me. ”
Oda Nobunaga actually took a fancy to Gao Xianda very much.
Gao Xianda had no choice but to promise him.
The seppuku procedure was done very solemnly. Bathing, changing, and fasting, Oda Nobunaga did not have a trace of fear.
It wasn't until Oda Nobunaga sat on the mat in a kneeling position, wiped the rib gap short knife with a clean white cloth, and then pressed the short knife against his abdomen, that Gao Xianda saw Oda Nobunaga's hands tremble slightly.
He may not be afraid, but he is sorry that his ambition has not been rewarded.
Oda Nobunaga bit the white cloth in his mouth, not wanting to bite his tongue because of the severe pain and not be able to complete the rest of the procedure. So there was no way to ask him what he thought.
Oda Nobunaga took a deep breath and stabbed the knife into his abdomen.
It's not the first time that Gao Xianda has done such a thing. and countless others died at his hands. Even if he rushed into the Shura field with a mace in his hand and smashed all the enemy soldiers into pulp, Gao Xianda did not hesitate at all. But I don't know why, when I saw Oda Nobunaga seppuku, I felt a little regretful?
This is the sorrow of the people of the world.
But entrusted by people, loyal to people. Gao Xianda saw that Oda Nobunaga was struggling with all his strength, and after cutting his stomach for the second time, his whole body seemed to be prostrating, and he was convulsing, and if he continued like this, feces and urine would flow out.
Gao Xianda raised his knife and fell, and Sozo Zuo accurately slashed into the gap in Oda Nobunaga's neck bone, and cleanly cut off Oda Nobunaga's head.
The head fell, and blood gushed out.
A generation of heroes in troubled times died.
The scene was silent, and I don't know how the onlookers felt in their hearts.
But in fact, Gao Xianda's approach is still very popular, after all, it was Oda Nobunaga who took the initiative to invite Gao Xianda as his intermediary, and Gao Xianda's knife technique was clean and neat, helping Oda Nobunaga solve the pain. So he is not considered the murderer of Oda Nobunaga. As for the capture of the Oda family, it was the general trend.
The retainers of the Oda family had no reason to resist now, and most of them chose to submit. Some people have no intention of going out for various reasons, and Gao Xianda also allows them to retreat to the countryside. As for some diehards, who still have great hostility towards the Imagawa family, Gao Xianda has no choice but to give them the dignity of a samurai and allow them to seppuku.
But for such diehards, there is no glory for Gao Xianda to mediate the mistakes. The samurai have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and the Oda family naturally has people who are excellent in swordsmanship, so it is up to them to do this work themselves.
For this kind of suicide behavior, Gao Xianda thinks that it is better not to get too involved too much.
Solve Oda Nobunaga, and the rest will be much easier. Harusaburo didn't wake up for a long time, and both Kaede and Nishiya wanted to give up on him. Although the two of them didn't mention it again, it seemed that they had already accepted Gao Xianda's proposal. After all, after Oda Nobunaga died, Kinoshita Tengjiro was still just the lowest Ashigaru group leader.
He was originally a peasant, and if it weren't for Oda Nobunaga's repeated promotions, he would not have become a samurai. Even now, the genealogy of the Oda family looked down on him.
It is impossible for him to rise only by his current fame. So if you want to support Kinoshita Tengjiro, you can only rely on the power of Gao Xianda. Only when Gao Xianda rises can he use his hand to promote Kinoshita Tengjiro.
