Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Guards Fleet that hit the front station arrived at Sakai City one day in advance and took over the defense of Sakai City like last time.  In view of the current tense situation in Japan, Zhu Jue, commander of the Eastern Theater Command, also personally led the fleet directly under the theater to deploy troops in Osaka Bay to prevent little Japan from getting too hot-headed.

    When Zhao Hao set foot on the Sakai Pier again, the gray-haired Tokugawa Ieyasu rushed towards him in tears, knelt in front of him and cried loudly.

    ¡°Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Finally, I finally saw my father again. My son thought he would never be able to see his father again in this life."

    That sincere admiration really changes the color of those who hear it!

    Zhao Hao also patted his back with some emotion and said softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, dad misses you very much. See why your hair is so gray?"

    ¡°When I recognized my father eight years ago, Ieyasu was only thirty-seven, with not a single gray hair and a considerable amount of hair.  He is only forty-five years old now, but most of his hair is already gray, and it is so sparse that it can hardly cover his scalp.

    Sure enough, a man¡¯s aging always starts from the beginning.

    "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My, my children have been through such a hard life these years" Ieyasu burst into tears again, as if he wanted to vent all the worries, fears, and grievances he had felt over the years.

    "Oh, indeed." Zhao Hao nodded with understanding. The situation in Japan's Warring States Period has changed so quickly in recent years that it was completely beyond his expectations.

    In April of the seventh year of Wanli, after the group signed the "Permanent Peace Treaty" with Oda Nobunaga, it focused its energy on Nanyang.  Oda Nobunaga focused all his attention on unifying the island.

    At that time, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin died one after another, and Honganji Kenjo also withdrew from the fight for hegemony. No one in Japan could challenge the Oda army's military front.

    That summer, as Hatano Hideharu was beheaded after surrendering to Nobunaga, the so-called Nobunaga siege network completely ceased to exist.

    Soon, Nobunaga's army defeated the Uesugi army, captured Noto and Kaga, and even attacked Echichu.  At the same time, the Maori army surrendered to Nobunaga at the Ukita Nao family in Bizen. At this point, the war situation between the Oda army and the Maori army was completely reversed.

    In the following three years, Nobunaga entered his heyday. He was invincible and conquered every battle. He occupied the entire hinterland of Japan. Nobunaga's army was already invincible on the island.  At this time, everyone believed that Nobunaga's pace of unifying Japan was unstoppable.

    Nobunaga himself thinks so too, and becomes rampant when he is proud.  Not only did he behave in a flamboyant and rash manner, he also wantonly humiliated his subordinates.  In the end, the devil in Akechi Mitsuhide's heart was aroused. As a result, in the summer of the tenth year of Wanli, the changes to Honnoji Temple came as planned.

    Why did Mitsuhide, Nobunaga's most capable subordinate, suddenly rebel?  Later Japanese historians have always had different opinions. Some people say that it was because Nobunaga refused to become a general and was preparing to force the emperor to abdicate and become the legitimate master of the world.  So the royal family tempted Mitsuhide to kill his lord with the title of general to conquer barbarians.

    ¡°Some people say it¡¯s because Nobunaga is already formulating a long-term plan after taking over the world He is planning to entrust the Japanese mainland to his own clan, and let retainers like Mitsuhide expedition to the Ming Dynasty and Korea to obtain fiefdoms.  Of course, this was unacceptable to Mitsuhide, so he decided to strike first.

    Others say it was because Nobunaga was too promiscuous and only brought more than 100 people to Mitsuhide's territory.  With his neck stretched out in front of him, Mitsuhide couldn't resist the temptation to cut him and replace him.  It is an unplanned crime of passion.

    And the saying that Nobunaga spanked him at the banquet, Mitsuhide's head got hot, and he grilled the lord

    However, no one has enough evidence to convince the public, so it is still an unsolved case.

    But this did not affect Mitsuhide¡¯s famous words on the night of June 1st:

    "Move forward, the enemy is at Honnoji Temple!"

    Then he led an army to kill the lord and Nobunaga's eldest son, Nobutada, the governor of the Oda family.

    With two generations of the heads of the Oda family dying in the fire at Honnoji Temple, Japanese history was completely rewritten

    ??~~

    After the Incident at Honnoji Temple, Akechi Mitsuhide blocked the news of Nobunaga's death and occupied Azuchi Castle without any blood.  Later, the imperial court sent envoys to worship him as the general who conquered the barbarians and expressed full support for him.

    However, because of the rebellion of the master, Guangxiu's names of the famous names of the names of the world have been solicited by him, but they have died for Nobunaga  Oda Jiachen vowed to take his first level and revenge for the Lord!

    Among them, Hideyoshi Hashiba reacted most quickly.  At that time, the monkey was ordered to conquer the Western Frontier, but luckily, he learned of Nobunaga's death earlier than anyone else.  It makes people believe that there really is luck in this world

    It turns out that the two of them were Nobunaga's right-hand men. Although Monkey was slightly inferior to Mitsuhide in everything, he was always his strongest competitor.

    So after the incident at Honnoji Temple, the first person Akechi Mitsuhide had to deal with was Hideyoshi.  On the night when the lord was barbecued, Mitsuhide wrote a confidential document?They stayed out of the fight for control of the Oda family.  But he didn't just watch, he took the opportunity to annex the Takeda family's territory and became a daimyo with the strength of one million koku.

    At the same time, he took advantage of his good relationship with Sakai City to vigorously develop industry and commerce within the territory and enhance his own economic strength.

    This made Ieyasu feel that he was good again.  In the twelfth year of Wanli, Nobunaga's second son Nobuo broke with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Tokugawa Ieyasu maintained an alliance with Nobuo and fought against Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the name of protecting Nobunaga's son.

    Hideyoshi did not dare to be careless and immediately mobilized 120,000 soldiers and horses to defeat them one by one.  As a result, Nobuo quickly surrendered in the face of Hideyoshi's overwhelming strength, leaving Ieyasu in the dilemma of fighting a powerful enemy alone.

    In order to protect himself, Ieyasu could only send his second son Tokugawa Hideyasu, who was only twelve years old, to Hideyoshi as a hostage. However, he still maintained an invincible relationship with Hideyoshi - as Nobunaga's younger brother, Ieyasu could surrender to Nobunaga.  But it is really difficult to surrender to the ashigaru who used to carry Nobunaga's straw sandals.

    But as Hideyoshi¡¯s position becomes increasingly consolidated, even a blind person can see the trend of unifying Japan, and he really can¡¯t hold on any longer (remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
