Chapter 628 The enemy is at Honnoji Temple!

Chapter 628 The enemy is at Honnoji Temple!

The first treaty signed by Oda Nobunaga was the anti-piracy treaty. In the eyes of some Japanese people, this treaty was not humiliating, but equal, because the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain of the Japanese country, sent troops Stationing is a matter of course, and banning pirates is also Oda Nobunaga's consistent political opinion, because most of the Japanese pirates are composed of the Maori family and the Shimadzu family of Kyushu Island.

Oda Nobunaga never issued anything similar to a privateering license to encourage the proliferation of pirates.

The second treaty signed by Oda Nobunaga, the Silver and Sulfur Treaty, was the Ming Dynasty’s forcible intervention in the Japanese state affairs, and it was highly humiliating, with a war indemnity of up to 15 million silver, and cession. Tsushima is a very humiliating treaty.

These two treaties allowed Oda Nobunaga to immediately request the Osaka Bay Guard Sento Station for support.

The first treaty reached a consensus, that is, Oda Nobunaga is the shogun of Japan and the king of Japan. The second treaty means that Oda Nobunaga is useful and can become the great Ming Dynasty and strip Japan of silver. tools.

The greatest interest of Ming Dynasty in Japan is silver, and Oda Nobunaga firmly believes that he is the most suitable person.

People are not afraid of being used by others, but they are afraid of being so useless that no one will take advantage of them. People who are worthless are destined to be abandoned by everyone.

The Japanese country is in war, and in an extremely unstable society like war, force is the guarantee of everything, and what Oda Nobunaga is most indispensable for is force. In the entire Japanese country, the most capable person is Oda. Nobunaga, he broke through Nobunaga's siege three times and was opposed by everyone, but Oda Nobunaga finally won.

Oda Nobunaga is convinced that the Ming Dynasty needs to live to ensure the smooth flow of silver into the Ming Dynasty, because once he dies, the leaderless Japanese country will fall into chaos with each other, and the heroes will rise up to fight for a leader. Come, it will take a long time to get the result. Once he dies, there will be no main body to represent the Japanese country and return the war reparations.

Oda Nobunaga was not surprised at all by Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion. In fact, after his third son died on his behalf, no matter who of his retainers rebelled or rebelled together, Oda Nobunaga was not surprised. The Japanese country This kind of thing is really normal.

Oda Nobunaga asked Liu Changshan to hide himself, and he began to command his own troops to defend. He could directly mobilize only 154 samurai, while his opponent Akechi Mitsuhide had 13,000. And Akechi Mitsuhide has such strength, it is all given by Oda Nobunaga.

"General, we are surrounded. Nijo Castle is being attacked by Shigata Tajima, with Murakami Izumi as support. There are about 4,000 people in total, and Akechi Mitsuhide leads about 3,000 people to guard Horikawain. General..." Mori Ranmaru He said dully, he didn't finish his words, but no matter how you looked at it, it was all over.

Honnoji Temple is located in the "Luoyang Castle" and is divided into three, two, and nine towns. Sanjo Castle was built by Emperor Sanjo and has a three-story city wall. Once Nijo Castle is captured, it means that the enemy can completely destroy the entire Honnoji Temple. After being surrounded, Nijo Castle was rebuilt in the hands of Nobunaga. When Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still a shogun, he lived here. It was magnificent and also very strong.

"We have already reached the door, and there is no point in saying anything." Oda Nobunaga asked blankly: "Where is Nobutada?"

"Lieutenant General Quan is holding fast at Nijo Castle, and he is still there. Resist." Mori Ranmaru whispered.

Oda Nobutada, the concubine of Oda Nobunaga, but because of his outstanding military exploits, he was adopted by Oda Nobunaga's first wife, and became the eldest son, the heir of Oda Nobunaga, the head of Owari Kingdom, and the Oda family The governor of the family, Oda Nobutada, led 2,000 men to be stationed in Nijo Castle, and is now resisting Yoshigata Tajima's offensive.

"After fifty years of life, I am nothing compared to the sky. Is today really the day of my death?" Oda Nobunaga said to himself somewhat dejectedly when he heard that the son he had high hopes for was still alive. Talk to yourself.

"News came from Akechi Mitsuhide, he said..." Mori Ranmaru couldn't continue.

Honnoji Temple has been surrounded by people. Akechi Mitsuhide sent a shooter to write a letter into Honnoji Temple. The handwritten note is Akechi Mitsuhide's ultimatum.

"What did he say?" Oda Nobunaga cheered up and asked curiously.

"Ask the general to die without harming the general's family." Mori Ranmaru handed the letter to Oda Nobunaga.

After reading the handwriting, Oda Nobunaga said to Mori Ranmaru: "I taught him his kanji."

In Japan, only the upper class could learn Chinese. A family formed by knowledge, and Akechi Mitsuhide's calligraphy is very good, which was taught by Oda Nobunaga.

"When his father died in the war, he wandered around the countries like a bereaved dog, wagging his tail in front of my door and begging for mercy. I thought he was pitiful, so I gave him a chance and appointed him as the governor of the capital. , entrusted with an important task, he is now taking the legion I gave him to surround me here, it is really a great irony," Oda Nobunaga said with a bit of laughter.

Akechi Mitsuhide is a well-known bereavement dog. His father died early and his uncle adopted him. Later, his uncle also died in the war. Akechi Mitsuhide had to wander around and had nowhere to turn to. He was still Oda Nobunaga. He took him in and entrusted him with important tasks.

"The general initially thought he was a lost dog. Takenaka Shigeharu and I both advised the general that this person's origins were unknown, but the general believed that he was helpless and had a clean life experience and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility." Kuroda Takataka finally couldn't bear it anymore. Well, as Oda Nobunaga's two most important advisers, he and Takenaka Shigeharu advised Oda Nobunaga more than once that Akechi Mitsuhide was useless.

Akechi Mitsuhide is indeed helpless, but it is this helplessness that is the most worrying thing. How could he hand over such an important position as the head of Kyoto to such an unknown person? person?

Well now, Mitsuhide Akechi blocked the door and asked Oda Nobunaga to commit suicide.

"So, now I can only wait for the soldiers guarding Sento Station in Osaka Bay to arrive? This is my last hope." Oda Nobunaga spread his hands and considered what he had in his hands. The six major corps found that none of them could count on them.

The Mori family is Oda Nobunaga's biggest enemy. He is now putting all his troops on the front line. Even the newly formed Ming desperadoes have been sent out. The time when Mitsuhide Akechi launched the rebellion was really well chosen. , war is such that all efforts are devoted, all chips need to be pressed, the winner takes all, and the loser eats the dust.

Now he actually only has 2,000 people from his son Nobutada, and these 2,000 people are still besieged in Nijo Castle.

“The Emperor of Ming Dynasty has given a clear order and will not provide any protection.” Kuroda Takataka reminded Oda Nobunaga that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had given a clear order and Osaka Bay Guard Sento would not do anything. Oda Nobunaga fought hard.

"It seems that the only choice is to wait for death." Oda Nobunaga spread his hands and said to his two confidants. If the Ming army comes, he can live. If the Ming army doesn't come, he will die. That's it. Simple.

The Ming army is coming or not? This is not a problem, the Ming army has already arrived.

Li Chengli, the commander of Nagasaki Xingdu Division, led an infantry battalion composed of 3,000 guest soldiers and tooth soldiers, and has arrived in Kyoto. It is even 200 steps away from Honnoji Temple. The reason why it has arrived is because of the Ming Dynasty The news that Akechi Mitsuhide was going to rebel had been received in advance.

Six days ago, Akechi Mitsuhide swore an oath to his retainers at Atago Shrine on the grounds that "Today, the world must fall."

Da Ming received the news, and after repeated weighing, Li Chengli rushed over.

The greatest benefit of Ming Dynasty in Japan is the inflow of silver, and now that Oda Nobunaga is alive, it is conducive to the inflow of silver.

"No rush, let Oda Nobunaga wait for a while. We will only appear again when he is about to die, when he is most desperate." Li Chengli observed the situation, and Oda Nobunaga waited for a while. If he can't die soon, then let him continue to wait in such panic. Only after experiencing the horror of life and death can he think about the goodness of Ming Dynasty.

"Then what if Oda Nobunaga commits suicide?" Yiba always asked with some uncertainty.

"He committed suicide, then we will withdraw our troops. No matter who becomes the shogun, he must pay 15 million silver in compensation." Li Chengli said indifferently: "This is the debt owed by the Japanese country. If Nobunaga is dead, the debt will not be paid off. If we can't, we can take it ourselves."

"Oda Nobunaga's security will be scolded when Tishuai comes."

Li Chengli felt helpless when he saw Oda Nobunaga's behavior. The Japanese called Oda Nobunaga the Great Demon King, but the behavior of this Great Demon King was simply naive and stupid.

Akechi Mitsuhide has been waiting, from the sunset to the willow branches above the moon, until Oda Nobunaga committed suicide, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

“The enemy is at Honnoji Temple!”

Akechi Mitsuhide finally ordered that the entire army raid Honnoji Temple. Since he refuses to show dignity, let him show respect!

Akechi Mitsuhide began the attack. Up to 3,200 samurai began to attack Honnoji Temple, which was defended by only 154 people. However, the attack was not very smooth. These 154 people stood on the wall of the courtyard and fired with iron cannons. The first charge was repelled.

The walls of Honnoji Temple are extremely high and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Due to the favorable location and the fact that Mitsuhide Akechi was a rebel, morale was not particularly high. The samurai and ashigaru were somewhat hesitant to move forward. Tian Nobunaga's reputation was far-reaching, and the samurai and ashigaru were afraid of attacks.

That is the big devil.

Akechi Mitsuhide ordered the iron cannon (a kind of firecracker) team to climb to the higher palace, which is the palace where the emperor lived. By using high and low, he cleared the defenders on the wall and finally broke through the temple gate of Honnoji Temple. , entered the Honnoji Temple.

Honnoji Temple has three entrances, that is, in addition to the main gate, there are still two courtyard walls and several courtyard gates.

The battle at Honnoji Temple started in the stables. After the attack on the stables, Oda Nobunaga was unable to escape, and then began to fight for doors one by one.

After less than half an hour of fighting, Akechi Mitsuhide's men finally reached the last courtyard wall, and Oda Nobunaga's cronies suffered heavy casualties. The last courtyard wall was guarded by Oda Nobunaga himself.

"Hinata Mamoru, everything you have is given to you by me, how dare you betray me! Why did you betray me!" The moment Oda Nobunaga saw Akechi Mitsuhide, he was furious and asked sternly .

Akechi Mitsuhide's surname is 'Yi Ren'. This is an ancient surname. Oda Nobunaga asked the Emperor for it and gave it to Akechi Mitsuhide. With this surname, you can use the platycodon flag seal. Akechi Mitsuhide achieved the success he had achieved since childhood. The class jump from surname to daimyo was due to the surname given; Hyuga Mamoru was an official position and was given by Oda Nobunaga.

The commander of the vicinity of the capital is a position similar to that of the commander-in-chief of the capital camp. It was also given to Akechi Mitsuhide by Oda Nobunaga after he became the shogun. There are only three commanders in total, Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba (Toyotoshi). Omi) Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Everything Mitsuhide Akechi had was given by Oda Nobunaga, but now they are at war with each other.

Oda Nobunaga couldn’t understand why Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of the Beijing camp, did not rebel. Most of Qi Jiguang’s status was not given by the little emperor. The resistance against the Japanese in the southeast and the extermination of the captives in the southwest were all given by the emperor. Qi Jiguang made great achievements when he was still young, but instead of rebelling, Qi Jiguang would fight wherever the emperor pointed.

Oda Nobunaga was very kind to Mitsuhide Akechi and gave him everything he could, but Mitsuhide Akechi rebelled and forced him to this point.

It's simply unreasonable.

The supreme Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun once clearly scolded Legas for farting. High morality is never a disadvantage, but an advantage! High ethics play a vital role in maintaining internal stability.

Based on the overall moral level of the Japanese country, it was impossible to produce such capable ministers as Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng.

"Do you think there are any clean ones among your retainers? That Liu Changshan around you, that shopkeeper Liu, all your retainers do business with him. Haha." Akechi Mitsuhide smiled wildly, he He said loudly: "It's not me, it's Hideyoshi Hashiba, it's not Hideyoshi Hashiba, it's Tokugawa Ieyasu. Ask shopkeeper Liu how many years we have been doing business with him."

"Six years." Oda Nobunaga looked at Liu Changshan, who was hiding in the corner, with an inquiring look in his eyes, even pleading, pleading that this was not true, otherwise he would have worked hard all his life and it would be a joke.

“These are all regular customers.” Liu Changshan said with a little evasive eyes. This business has been in business for several years, and these retainers have long been tired of the so-called world cloth. Wu, the so-called ambition of a peaceful and happy land.

Ideal? The ideal is worth a few taels of silver!

This is a typical rebellion in which the subordinates subjugate the superiors, but the one who launched it happened to be Akechi Mitsuhide. In fact, Oda Nobunaga’s retainers had already separated from Oda Nobunaga. The meat-eaters wanted to If Oda Nobunaga made his retainers vegetarian because they eat meat, then you can’t blame the retainers.

“Let’s get on the road after thinking about it clearly.” Akechi Mitsuhide roared sternly: “Kill!”

"Even if I die, I will not surrender to you!" Oda Nobunaga picked up the weapon, put on his beloved red cloak, and prepared to fight for his life.

“Kill!”

“Boom!”

A violent cannon sound suddenly sounded, and Li Chengli, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Governor-General’s Palace in Nagasaki, arrived with the infantry battalion. The gunpowder-loaded cannon roared, and the explosive bomb hit the path of Mitsuhide Akechi's charge. It exploded with a bang. The iron caltrops in the explosive bomb shot out in all directions under the explosion of gunpowder, setting off pieces of blood mist and wailing. The sounds come and go.

"Excuse me." Li Chengli's tooth soldiers were lined up in a row, and the muskets were loaded. A whole row of squatting tiger cannons loomed under the flickering light of the torches. The Ming Emperor was afraid of Nagasaki. The soldiers of Qianhu, Xingdu Si, were wronged in the Japanese country. Every three people were assigned a tiger squatting cannon, every three people were assigned a fire blunderbuss, a flintlock blunderbuss, every ten people were assigned a flat blunderbuss, and every two One gun for ten men, one double gun, and one nine-pound gunpowder field cannon for every one hundred men.

This equipment is better than that of the Beijing camp, for fear that the Ming army will be wronged outside.

When a row of countless Tiger Crouching Cannons were placed on the ground, Akechi Mitsuhide had to calm down.

"General Lee! Even after I became the shogun, I still recognized the 15 million silver expenses for military aid, and asked General Lee to stand by and watch!" Akechi Mitsuhide was stunned.

Li Chengli looked at Akechi Mitsuhide and said very solemnly: "After a comprehensive assessment, you have no ability to repay."

The Ming army came to rescue Oda Nobunaga after an assessment, and the creditors have returned Money-making ability is the most important assessment, and Akechi Mitsuhide was not good enough. Akechi Mitsuhide had no way to get enough silver from other daimyo to repay war reparations. This was the direct reason why the Ming army finally chose to take action.

"Hahaha!" Oda Nobunaga was hiding on the wall of the courtyard, holding on to the ladder and laughing loudly. He did not hesitate to mock Mitsuhide Akechi at all.

Incompetence is the greatest mockery of a person.

Oda Nobunaga can control a huge territory, and can press the heads of other daimyo, knock the bones and suck out the marrow, but Akechi Mitsuhide cannot do it. If the person who launched the rebellion today is Hashiba Hideyoshi or Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Ming Dynasty The army will probably not act because Hideyoshi Hashiba is a lone wolf and Tokugawa Ieyasu is an old fox.

Both of these two people have enough ability to repay the war compensation, but Akechi Mitsuhide alone does not. This is also the reason why Akechi Mitsuhide took the initiative to launch a rebellion. The three leaders all betrayed Oda Nobunaga to varying degrees. But Akechi Mitsuhide could only launch a brazen mutiny to seize the opportunity. Akechi Mitsuhide, who was homeless and wandering in various countries, had neither Hashiba Hideyoshi's military talent nor Tokugawa Ieyasu's cunning and huge power behind him.

"Surrender." Li Chengli stood outside the courtyard wall, looking at Akechi Mitsuhide and other troops inside the wall, waiting for Akechi Mitsuhide's decision.

Akechi Mitsuhide swore an oath at Atago Shrine six days ago, so when the oath was established, Akechi Mitsuhide had no way of turning back. Mitsuhide Akechi was fully aware of the mobilization of the Ming army. , Ming soldiers entered the city from the city gate guarded by Murai Sadakatsu in the evening, and Akechi Mitsuhide also knew it.

Akechi Mitsuhide knew everything about the movements of the Ming army. He was betting that the Ming army would give up Oda Nobunaga and choose him; he was betting that Oda Nobunaga could be eliminated before the Ming army interfered. .

Li Chengli actually gave Akechi Mitsuhide a chance. Akechi Mitsuhide besieged Honnoji Temple for three hours, and Akechi Mitsuhide failed to deal with Oda Nobunaga. So he himself is incompetent, so he cannot blame Ming for not choosing He did.

On the one hand, Akechi Mitsuhide is besieging Honnoji Temple, and on the other hand, he wants to annihilate Oda Nobutada. This heir, this lieutenant general, is immortal. Killing Oda Nobunaga will destroy the two thousand fish in Nijo Castle. This is not the situation Akechi Mitsuhide wants to see.

Akechi Mitsuhide has a total of 15,000 people. He has been trying every means to force the father and son to commit suicide. Once one of them commits suicide, the other can be solved at a smaller cost. In this way, in the face of Hashiba Hideyoshi and De When Kawa Ieyasu is strong, he will be more confident.

"Kill! Kill Oda Nobunaga!" Akechi Mitsuhide roared loudly and led the people towards the last courtyard wall.

As soon as Li Chengli saw this posture, he knew that Akechi Mitsuhide was determined not to surrender, and immediately ordered to open fire. For a while, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the roar of fire blunderbuss, tiger squat cannons, and double-deck cannons continued. Soon Akechi Mitsuhide and the more than 200 people he led were all dead beyond recognition. The iron caltrops in the explosive bullets caused great damage, and mourning was everywhere.

Akechi Mitsuhide died, his death was scattered all over the ground. He was hit in the face by a bomb, and the force of the explosion blew him apart.

Li Chengli watched Oda Nobunaga walk out through the smashed courtyard door, and then frowned and said: "I can help you get here at most, and I need you to do the rest. Solve it yourself. If I do too much, I will interfere too deeply.”

The Nagasaki Governor-General does not want to become a detached force above the many forces of the Japanese country and regulate social conflicts. The Nagasaki Governor-General’s Office wants the Japanese country. The more people who die, the better, but the inflow of silver is really important to Ming Dynasty, so Li Chengli helped, but only so far.

"It's easy to talk. Commander Li will take a rest for now. I'll come back as soon as I can." Oda Nobunaga hurriedly thanked him. He knew that now was not the time for small talk. He needed to go to suppress the rebellion and wait until the matter was over. It’s never too late to thank you.

Oda Nobunaga pulled out the short sword from his waist, cut off Akechi Mitsuhide's head, and walked towards Nijo Castle with it. The number of confidants around him dropped from 154 to 23 who were able to move. And everyone was injured, but Oda Nobunaga went to Nijo Castle with Akechi Mitsuhide's head.

Twenty-three people went to Nijo Castle to support, to no avail, but Akechi Mitsuhide's head can explain everything.

Oda Nobunaga went to Nijo Castle in such a grand manner. He was pretending to be a tiger, and the Ming Army, the real tiger, was stationed at Honnoji Temple. As long as the Ming Army was still there, Oda Nobunaga, the fox, would be fine.

The rebels who attacked Nijo Castle all worked hard and looked very lively, but in fact they were all fake and there was no real attack at all. Because there were results at Honnoji Temple, these rebels The army will do its best.

Oda Nobunaga went to Luo from Owari Kingdom and defeated Nobunaga's encirclement network three times in a row. His prestige was too high. The reputation of the Great Demon King was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Before Oda Nobunaga's death was confirmed, these samurai and Ashigaru When they take action, they are naturally timid and cautious.

"The traitors have been laid to rest, everyone put down their weapons!" Oda Nobunaga, covered in blood, held up Akechi Mitsuhide's head and shouted angrily.

When someone among the rebels was the first to lay down their weapons, the situation was reversed and the overall situation was decided.

The Great Demon King is still alive, this is something that all the samurai and ashigaru have seen with their own eyes.

Akechi Mitsuhide failed.

Akechi Mitsuhide is a wandering samurai. He has no soldiers at all. These rebels under him were all given to him by Oda Nobunaga. When Oda Nobunaga personally gave the order, everything It’s all a foregone conclusion.

In the early morning of the next day, the blood-filled Kyoto ushered in dawn again, and Li Chengli, who had had a good sleep, yawned and walked out of the camp, checked the records of yesterday's night patrol, and checked the food, wages, and wages again. After collecting gunpowder, firearms and other luggage, Li Chengli met Oda Nobunaga, who had been up all night and had red eyes.

"Thank you, Commander Li, for your life-saving grace!" Oda Nobunaga bowed and bowed. This was indeed a life-saving grace.

"I took that Liu Changshan away. He was one of the rebels of the Ming Dynasty." Li Chengli talked about the businessman yesterday. This businessman was a wanted criminal who crossed the sea to capture documents in the Ming Dynasty. He was to be delivered Liu Changshan's crime in the Gaoyuan was selling Han people. Liu Changshan not only bought and sold Japanese slaves, but also sold Han people to the Yuanxu Islands to work as slaves.

This is strictly prohibited, and any person caught will be sent to the prison for a serious crime.

In the Ming Dynasty, people did not have the freedom to become slaves and enslave others.

"It should be so." Oda Nobunaga said quickly.

"How was yesterday's rebellion handled?" Li Chengli asked about yesterday's battle situation. Anyway, no one dared to tease Ming's tiger beard even if they were fighting. Li Chengli had already helped Oda Nobunaga. Well, if he still loses, then he is not living up to expectations.

"The generals have all been arrested. As for the samurai and ashigaru, they have all been led by Nobutada." Oda Nobunaga hurriedly said: "The people who swore the oath are all generals. The samurai and ashigaru at the bottom have no idea. Who was the target of this attack? Therefore, the samurai and ashigaru who surrendered were given a lighter sentence."

Oda Nobunaga was explaining why he did not punish the people. In fact, the Japanese did not. The samurai class was solidified. Oda Nobunaga could only do this, kill the rebellious generals, and assign the samurai and ashigaru to others. The complete solidification of the class was also the reason why Japanese conquests could generally occur.

Whoever becomes the shogun must use these samurai.

"If you make such a fuss here, Mouri Terumoto will probably smile crookedly." Li Chengli said sincerely. The incident at Honnoji Temple occurred when Oda Nobunaga and Mouri Terumoto went into full-scale war. This When internal strife breaks out, it will be extremely detrimental to the front line. The first person to bear the brunt is Hashiba Hideyoshi. No matter whether Hashiba Hideyoshi has any objections or not, he will be feared.

"But fortunately, Terumoto Mori is not my opponent." Oda Nobunaga is still very confident in this. They are old opponents. After several encounters, Terumoto Mori has never won.

"Since I saw it, I have to say something to you." Li Chengli frowned and said: "Why did you bring Oda Nobutada to Kyoto with you? You, the general and the prince, have both left. Azuchi Castle, this old nest, doesn't this expose the fate? As long as your prince is in Azuchi Castle, Akechi Mitsuhide will not dare to rebel, because if he rebels, the prince will succeed and then lead the defenders of Azuchi Castle to suppress the rebellion." br>
"Commander Li taught me a lesson." Oda Nobunaga wiped his cold sweat and said, "This is Kyoto. I have been running the business for twelve years. I was indeed negligent."

It was Li Chengli's reminder that Oda Nobunaga realized this problem. After a rebellion, Li Chengli pointed out the loopholes that Oda Nobunaga had not thought of.

"Also, how did Mitsuhide Akechi do it? He mobilized 13,000 people from Kameyama Castle to enter Kyoto, and you actually know nothing about it? You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, more than 100 people were mobilized, They all need to be approved by the Ministry of War, and at the local level, it is approved by the Dusi Yamen, the Governor, and the Governor. Thirteen thousand people entered Kyoto after six days of walking, and you know nothing about it?" Li Chengli felt after watching the entire mutiny process. It's like a joke.

From Kameyama Castle to Kyoto, Akechi Mitsuhide walked for six full days. It should have taken three days to arrive, but it was delayed for three days due to heavy rain.

Isn’t this a joke? Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion was a joke, and Oda Nobunaga's defense was also a joke. In Li Chengli's view, the entire Japanese country was just a grassroots team.

"Commander Li taught you a lesson." Oda Nobunaga said blankly. What seemed to be a matter of course to the generals of the Ming Dynasty, but to the Japanese, it was a clever strategy that had never been heard of before.
