A Tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 375 34. Chaos in the Yamanouchi Family

The father-in-law and son-in-law sighed for a while, and there was still work to do. From Hosokawa Fujitaka's letter, Xiao Pingtai also roughly knew the process.

The fire in Luoyang Town greatly weakened the strength of Miyoshi Matsunaga's bandits, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru miraculously rushed out of the imperial palace. The combat effectiveness of miscellaneous soldiers and samurai servants was very different, and the bandits were somewhat restrained in order to capture Ashikaga Yoshiteru alive.

In addition, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was a swordsman among swordsmen, and the secret of the first sword was inherited. He held the sword and shouted wildly in the battle. As the saying goes, the battlefield of the battle of soldiers is the place where corpses stand. If you must die, you will live, and if you are lucky enough to live, you will die. He killed more than 30 bandits by himself, and the heads of the people were rolling.

He was about to rush to Miyoshi Nagayasu and Matsunaga Nagamichi, and the two were shocked. At this time, the relationship between the monarch and the ministers and the legal system had long been thrown out of his mind.

Matsunaga Nagamichi never thought that a simple raid to force the general to go into exile would turn out like this. Anyway, they were all set on fire in Luojing. He decided to go all out and ordered the iron cannons to fire, and the brave shogunate officials fell one after another.

In the end, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's Ichi-no-dachi secret technique could not withstand the iron cannon bullets, and he was hit by several bullets.

A generation of shoguns died under the bullets of an unknown person!

After reading the letter, Kobayata sighed, and his personal power was not enough to change the tide of history. On the one hand, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's death meant that the last bit of power of the Muromachi shogunate was completely wiped out, and it also meant that the situation in Kinki was completely chaotic.

"Your Highness is unconscious!" The father-in-law and son-in-law were still talking about the drastic changes in Kyoto, and Kobayata's sister suddenly ran over.

The two were very anxious and hurried back to the house to check. Yamanouchi Yoshiharu was originally still conscious. Although he could not speak and his limbs could not move, he could still hear the questions clearly. Now he is completely confused and looks like he is unconscious.

"Kobayata, hurry up and tie up all the doctors under the city immediately. We can't delay any longer." Hosokawa Harumiya was very anxious.

The best time to rescue a stroke is within four hours of onset. You must seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If you miss this time, even if a god comes, it will be difficult to save him.

He rushed out of the door, and Oishi Saburo just came back, followed by two doctors.

"Come in quickly, His Highness is in a coma!" Xiao Pingtai hurriedly called a few people into the hall.

When the two doctors heard the word coma, their faces changed. Oishi Saburo suddenly asked them to go into the city, saying that a lady in the city was not feeling well, and they didn't take it too seriously. As a result, when they heard that it was a coma, their steps unconsciously accelerated.

"Your Highness, this is a stroke!" A doctor who was older confirmed it at a glance. He suddenly realized that if Yamanouchi Yoshiharu couldn't cure it, he might not be well either.

No wonder Oishi Saburo asked so urgently, and also asked them to bring all the tools. It was clear that they were asked to go into the city for emergency treatment. If they couldn't save the life, it would be normal to kill people to keep the secret.

The two doctors were surprised to see Koyata's first aid measures of pressing the tongue, lying on his side with his head tilted back, and applying ice to the brain. They immediately felt that these first aid methods were very useful. At least Yamanouchi Yoshiharu is breathing very smoothly now and has not suffocated to death.

The older doctor shook his head, "Your Highness's stroke came suddenly, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover. I can only do my best to save him, maybe you can make your Highness speak a few words."

The meaning is very clear, he has a stroke and can't be saved. I will treat him and let him finish his last words.

Koyata was about to say no, but Yamanouchi Yoshiharu died, and Yamanouchi collapsed all of a sudden. How could this be? Hosokawa Harumiya stopped Koyata and shook his head to tell him not to be so impatient.

"Just do your best. If your Highness can really speak, it will be a great achievement."

The doctor who should be a monk immediately took out the silver needle and started acupuncture. Hosokawa Harumiya pulled Koyata out again. The local doctor in Yamanouchi was not good enough, so he had to ask for someone more capable.

"Kobayata, go and make arrangements immediately. Make sure to invite the 16-wen doctor, no matter how you invite him."

The 16-wen doctor is Nagata Tokumoto, the most famous doctor in Koshin Kanto. According to records, he is a famous doctor who lived for more than 100 years. He lived from the Warring States Period to the Edo Period, and was as famous as Kyoto's Quzhi Lai Daosan.

He was particularly good at herbal medicine, and had a thorough understanding of various herbal medicines. In addition, he was very generous and only charged 16 wen for the consultation fee, so he was respected as the medical saint.

At this time, Nagata Tokumoto should be in Suwa, and Kobayata immediately went out of the hall to find Hosokawa Saijo. He asked him to quickly select ten hereditary hatamoto samurai who were not night blind, and one of them rode two horses to rush to Suwa.

Hosokawa Saijo was very efficient. She closed her eyes, calculated for a while, and reported one name after another. The foot soldiers under her command immediately went to call people. Some were in the city, and some were still in the castle town.

When they came, Kobayata didn't waste any words and gave them the most important political task. Even if the horses died, they had to invite Nagata Tokumoto. They had to go out of the city in the rain before it got dark. Tomorrow, they had to meet Nagata Tokumoto's people in Fuchu Castle.

These hereditary hatamoto were the best. They didn't waste any words. They heard the order clearly and led their horses to Suwa. They dispersed to search for people in villages and towns. They probably guessed that a noble in the city was sick.

"How is His Highness?" "He woke up, but the situation is not very good." Hosokawa Harumiya sighed.

As the amount of bleeding increases, the condition of stroke patients will only get worse. This is inevitable. It is normal that they cannot be saved. Kobayata is indeed worried.

Lady Nagao and Lady Kiso in the palace next door had also heard the news of Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu's death in battle. Two girls under 20 became widows. The most exaggerated thing is that Lady Nagao found out that she was pregnant again after Yamanouchi Yoshikatsu went to Kyoto. Now the child has lost his father before it is born, which is even more miserable.

In fact, think about Kobayata's sister, it's the same. She was in her twenties and had a son and a daughter. It was the time of a happy life. Suddenly her husband had a stroke. It was only a few days away. It was also the best age to encounter such a thing.

The Warring States period was not only a time of ill-fated men, but also a time when women were in danger!

Several women still had the demeanor of samurai women. They looked sad, holding their own children, and quietly waiting for the next development in the house.

"Kobayata, His Highness has an order." "What is it?" "I just don't know."

Yamanouchi Yoshiharu kept mumbling, and the women didn't understand at all, and Hosokawa Harumiya didn't understand either.

Xiao Pingtai carefully stared at the one eye of Yamanouchi Yoshiharu that was still under control, and it was staring at Imagawa Yoshichika.

Hmm?

What does it mean to stare at Imagawa Yoshichika at this time?

Could it be?
