Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Even though Saburo had given an ultimatum, the monks and soldiers of Yanli Temple still didn't take it seriously.

For a long time, temples have been in a position of reverence.Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei is the main gate of the Tendai Sect. It was named "Enryaku-ji Temple" by Emperor Saga and has a history of nearly 700 years.

No matter how daring Ren Oda Nobunaga is, it is impossible to attack the Buddhist Pure Land with a long history.Even if Nobunaga really had a brain twitch and used swords against the monks recklessly, the monks at Enryaku Temple in Hiei Mountain are not vegetarians—what's more, what Oda Nobunaga should be worrying about right now is not their quiet monks, but the Asai family. people.

Whether it's the Empress Kanazaki, the Battle of Anegawa, or the Battle of Shiga.No matter which crisis in Oda, the Asai family is in it.It can be said that once Nobunaga dies and Oda is defeated, Asai can step on Oda and jump up and become a wealthy family in Omi instead of a weak family that was forced to a corner of Jiangbei by Liujiao.

Such a character, no matter how you look at it, is more hated than Enli Temple in Mount Hiei, and I am afraid that Nobunaga will be devastated if he wants to suppress Yikui in the territory!

Moreover, after his younger brother Oda Nobunaga was forced to commit seppuku when the city was broken by the Ichikui Army of Nagashima, he was able to negotiate peace with Liujiao and Asai. Such Oda Nobunaga is also afraid of the power of Buddhism!

If Gods and Buddhas were really there, how could Oda Nobunaga, who claims to be a follower of the Hokkaido sect, take action against Bi Ruishan!

With this in mind, when Oda Nobunaga asked to negotiate, the monk at Enryakuji Temple in Mount Hiei really taunted Nobunaga in his heart.

Especially in February of this year, the Oda family's general Hashiba Hideyoshi forced the Asai family's strong general Isino Yuanmasho to surrender. The Asai family had no power to fight anymore and could only be slaughtered!

The temple does not ask about common affairs, and it can be seen that Nobunaga's purpose is still the Asai family.The reason why they sent troops to Hiei Mountain Enryakuji Temple when Mori Kecheng was defending the city, and provided them with a position when the Allied Forces of the Asako Dynasty failed in Shangluo, was because of Asakura Yoshikage's face.

Enryakuji had no reason to help Asai.Therefore, even though Oda Nobunaga once again gathered his troops in the direction of Sawayama Castle in August of the 2nd year of Motoki (1571), the monks at Enryakuji Temple did not have any sense of crisis.

Sure enough, the Oda Army has been steadily using Sawayama Castle as its base, nibbling Minami Omi a little bit, and targeting Otani Castle—this illusion only lasted until September.

Because on September 9, the Oda army suddenly crossed Lake Biwa and surrounded Enli Temple...and burned all the temples on the mountain to the ground, killing all monks, women and children! !

...However, before this day (burning of Mt. Hiei), Saburo still seriously solicited the opinions of his retainers.

The correction is to let Akechi Mitsuhide persuade those retainers who do not approve of this action.

One more thing to add, except for Morinagaka and Akechi Mitsuhide, almost all the retainers felt that the risk of burning Mount Hiei was too great, and they did not approve of such a risky behavior.

Finally, I would like to declare that regardless of whether the retainers agree or not, Saburo will send troops according to the original plan.

The risk of attacking Enryaku-ji Temple certainly does not mean how much casualties would be caused by burning Mount Hiei.In fact, everyone now thinks that Oda’s target is Asai. Before that, except for Matsunaga Hideo’s iron cannon attack in the 8th year of Yonglu (1565), which caused the Todaiji Temple to catch fire, no other daimyo had ever laid hands on the Buddhist temple.

This also means that once Saburo targets Enryaku-ji Temple in Mount Hiei, no one will expect it in advance.After all, monk soldiers are different from soldiers who have undergone serious training. Sen Kecheng was only killed in the hands of monk soldiers because his number was really small and he suffered from the battle of wheels.Speaking of this, it doesn't even take much time for the prepared Oda to fight the unprepared Enryaku Temple.

But the pressure to attack the temple does not come from the monks and soldiers themselves, but from the people!

It is not for nothing that Enryakuji Temple is called "the mother mountain of Japanese Buddhism"!They are different from the large number of believers attracted by Ishiyama Honganji Temple because of the promotion that everyone can become a Buddha. They have produced many famous monks. People have also studied here.

Originally, because the Oda family was targeted by the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the farmers in the territory had a faint sign of a cockroach, and Oda Nobuoki died because of a cockroach.If it really burns Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei, it will be a hornet's nest, and it will really become an "enemy of Buddha"!

The one that will explode at that time will not be as gentle as it is now when attacking Nanjinjiang!

Therefore, when Saburo said that he would attack Mount Hiei, almost all the retainers put on a manic face of "My God, what do you want to do again?"

So Saburo also said logically: "Then Xiao Guang will tell you the news first."

Mitsuhide Akechi, who was being watched by many people for a while, had a vague illusion that he was being roasted on the fire.He shook his head involuntarily, ignoring this psychological discomfort, and said calmly: "There is news from someone in Kyoto that the Takeda family has sent someone to contact Ishiyama Honganji."

For a while, the retainers who were still fiercely opposed fell silent.

The retainers who can be reused by Saburo are naturally not stupid, even if some of them are partial, they must be very sensitive to such things in the battle situation.Niwa Chohide took a meaningful look at Akechi Mitsuhide, but in the end he did not doubt the source of the news, and calmly narrated: "Then, it is imperative to attack Mount Hiei."

Ikeda Hengxing also asked: "Have you thought about how to attack?"

Unexpectedly, Mitsuhide Akechi could convince everyone with just one sentence. Saburo was surprised and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Mitsuhide Akechi very happily, and praised: "Oh, you really deserve to be Xiaoguang! The ability to persuade people is amazing— —Then, the attack on Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei will be left to you. There is only one request..."

"Remove the obstacles for me to go to the world."

That night, in Saburo's tent.

This is the first time that Mitsuhide Akechi has received such a major task-since Oda and Yoshiaki Ashikaga were brought together by him, Mitsuhide Akechi basically stayed in Kyoto after Saburo successfully went to Los Angeles.The army behind Kanazaki was also commanded by Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was also one of the generals of the four major armies, and the chances of Akechi Mitsuhide leading the army alone were pitifully rare.

Whether it is Niwa Chohide's fear of him or Ikeda Hengxing's sadness towards him, it is not without reason.Not even as good as Hashiba Hideyoshi, who quickly made achievements. At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide is already a bit embarrassed in the position of army general.

But he himself is very confident—in other words, he clearly knows that only by getting this opportunity can he continue to stand beside Saburo and work for the Oda family.

For this reason, after Saburo made it clear that he "wanted to attack Enryaku Temple", Akechi Mitsuhide became busy again, making preparations for the upcoming attack on Enryaku Temple, which naturally included persuading Saburo speeches of his retainers.

Among them, in order to obtain Takeda's actions and speculate on the connection between Takeda and Honganji, the effort wasted so much that Mitsuhide Akechi had the illusion that he was a spy who had changed his job.

However, he chose to ask to meet Saburo at this time not because he wanted to complain, nor did he want to inform Saburo of his final plan and ask for his approval—he just made such a humble gesture for the sake of It has nothing to do with the attack on Mount Hiei.

...No, it can't be regarded as not having the slightest relationship.

"Then, before I return, 'Shuzhuwan Hengji' asks you to keep it temporarily."

That's right, the reason why Akechi Mitsuhide visited late at night was purely to hand over Suzumaru Koji (sword) to Saburo.

"Hey, doesn't Xiaoguang have a knife?"

"No. If it's an ordinary sword, I wouldn't care about it. But now Saburo has Fusangshen by his side." Akechi Mitsuhide untied his veil, and a slight smile appeared on his face similar to Saburo, "Although they have obeyed Your order. But 'Shuzumaru Koji' used to be Nichiren's sword, and what I'm going to do is not suitable for taking it up. Saburo, you are also a follower of the Fahua sect, and the mourner of 'Shuzumaru Koji' God is by your side too. Perhaps I am presumptuous in making this request..."

"No, I'm still capable of watching swords." Sanlang frowned suspiciously, "But when did I believe in Huazong?"

"...Aren't you a follower of the Fahua sect?"

"Buddhism is all the same. I don't think the Buddha statue has changed." Saburo responded confidently, "And Suzumaru is the sword of Nichiren Master, so you can't take it with you. Why?"

"——Because the Hoka School is also called the Nichiren School, it was founded by Nichiren Master. Nichiren Master also studied at Enryaku Temple." Once again realizing Saburo's lack of common sense, Akechi Mitsuhide rubbed his head with a headache Forehead, "Then since you don't believe this, why do you spread the news that Oda Nobunaga believes in the Hokkaido sect... ah."

As if thinking of something, he murmured in a dull voice, "...Could it be because I used to be a follower of the Fahua Sect?"

Saburo: "Yes, Xiaoguang used to be 'Oda Nobunaga'."

"Completely ignored this point... I didn't expect that I caused you trouble." Akechi Mitsuhide said with some guilt.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, these temples don't have any special meaning to me." Saburo waved his hand very generously, "Then 'Shuzhuwan Hengji' should be put here first. Let Shuzhuwan take care of it then. "

"Yes, thank you for your generosity."

"I don't need to talk about this kind of politeness—but in this way, Xiaoguang won't have a knife." Saburo held his chin and thought for a while, "'Tsuramaru Kuninaga' forgot to bring... ah, it seems that there is still a knife. I brought a knife. Xiao Guang will take that."

"What is... a knife"

"It's a knife." Saburo replied, "The one you gave me."

Akechi Mitsuhide was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing out: "——That is really, very memorable. The entanglement between you and Oda may be caused by it being able to bring you to me. produced."

One thing I forgot to add earlier:

During Asai Asakura Shangluo, Oda Nobunaga was dragged in Settsu, and Honganji diverted water to the battlefield, causing swamps everywhere, and it was difficult for the Oda family to retreat... And then!When Oda Nobunaga received the news of Mori Kasei's death in battle (and Asai's mocking letter), he understood that the situation was critical, and decided to withdraw to Kyoto cruelly.At that time, relying on the experience of swimming, I judged the place where the water potential was relatively low in the water, and led the soldiers to cross the river forcibly.After he crossed the river, the river quickly rose, making it difficult for the pursuers to cross.

↑ Really lucky.

Unexpectedly, there is such a relationship between Suzumaru and Enryakuji Temple! (funny.jpg)

Also, to add, the surname means servant boy.

Thanks Mr. S for mine!Thanks for the lingering mines!Thanks to fh0041 for mine!One by one!

at last.Maybe the small surname will let you use your imagination.Note, however, that Nobunaga is a straight man, and historically his true love was Yoshino Ikoma.If you have to make up your mind about Nobunaga, Mori Ranmaru and other small surnames, it doesn't matter.Anyway, at least I am an absolute straight man in this article.

Things like small surnames can be played as memes once, but it is not interesting to play repeatedly.
