Chapter 657 2. Luoyang City Is Full of Strange Clouds

Now is the era of victory in the Warring States Period, and it is true!

The Asakura clan and the Miyoshi Three have indeed colluded with each other according to the trend of history. Together they deal with the aggressive Oda Nobunaga who has the momentum to save Kinai.

The reality is so naked. When it comes to a certain extent, face and righteousness can be abandoned. The Miyoshi Three, who are already the traitors who have been specifically targeted for punishment, have a bad reputation, but due to the changes in the situation and the military forces in their hands, they have become the targets of the Asakura clan.

After getting the letter from Uncle Tsunayoshi, Kobayata read it from beginning to end, and it was really a storm coming!

The water in Kinai is really getting muddier!

The Nijo Palace has been rebuilt, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki has moved in. This palace cost a lot of money, and the maximum number of workers was as high as 10,000. It took less than five months to complete the general construction. As for the interior decoration, you can take your time, and there is no rush.

Oda Nobunaga temporarily stopped fighting with the Miyoshi Three, and the two sides were evenly matched. More than half of Settsu Province fell into the hands of the Three Young Men. The army that was caught in a long-term confrontation consumed too much money, and the war broke out on the friendly territory of Oda Nobunaga, so there was no "extra income" at all, and Oda Nobunaga could not bear to spend money like this.

Finally, under the persuasion of the two brokers of Honganji and Sakai Association, he temporarily stopped fighting and returned to Luoyang to deal with the government affairs that had been delayed for half a year.

Because he spent too much money, Oda Nobunaga was so distressed that he was bleeding, and his hair was pulled out. Now no one can be seen to be extravagant and wasteful. Even the gift of congratulations on the victory and the return gift to the nobles who came to visit after returning to Luoyang was only one stone of rice or two stones of rice.

Even unprecedented, Oda Nobunaga issued a ban on temples in Kyoto in the name of the shogunate.

The content is to prohibit the wearing of silk and brocade monk robes! (Historical facts!)

What do you think this is?

In order to save money, Oda Nobunaga also ordered his brother Asai Nagamasa to come to Kyoto for labor service, and ordered Tango guardian Isshiki clan and Tamba guardian Hatano clan to transport wood and dyes to Kyoto to participate in the construction of Nijo Palace.

These people dared not speak out because they knew that Oda Nobunaga did not defeat the Miyoshi Three, and they were angry. Anyone who jumped out to offend would bear Nobunaga's anger. So they could only swallow their anger and come to respond to Oda Nobunaga's labor service.

And Yamato's Matsunaga Hisahide and Kii's Konokawa Temple and Negoro Temple and other forces were required to pay Dobetsu money, the amount of which was as high as 4,000 kan!

By the way, Oda Nobunaga was so cruel because Nijo Palace cost more than 20,000 kan!

Before he went to the battle, he told Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka that it was his fault that Ashikaga Yoshiaki was attacked. This fault was indeed because he was too arrogant and did not pay attention to the defense of Luoyang. Therefore, as long as Ashikaga Yoshiaki needed to build a city, he could agree to it. A solid palace must be built for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to ensure his safety.

Oda Nobunaga said it with his mouth, so Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka did it!

After the battle was over for four or five months, the two reported to Oda Nobunaga, and the result was that Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka were criticized for their poor performance and wasted military funds.

It is said that Oda Nobunaga kicked Akechi Mitsuhide over with one foot when he explained!

Anyway, Uncle Tsunayoshi didn't see it, and Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't say it when asked, so who knows?

………………

"What is the situation in the capital? What are the three Miyoshi people doing?" Kobayata didn't let Uncle Tsunayoshi rest for a few days. As soon as he got off the horse and got home, he was grabbed by Kobayata.

"Give me a break!" Uncle Tsunayoshi is definitely not in a hurry.

"Come on, come on, let me massage your shoulders!"

"This, this, this... eh... yes, yes, yes..."

"You are old enough to say it!" Kobayata said with gnashing teeth.

"The situation in Kyoto has changed! It has become unpredictable!" Uncle Tsunayoshi changed his face.

"Gifu Dansho..."

"Gifu Dansho has deployed three magistrates, Sakuma (Nobumori), Murai (Sadakatsu) and Kinoshita (Hideyoshi) in Kyoto, and the former Kyoto governor Akechi Jubei has been dismissed."

"The shogunate has no reaction?"

"Your Highness has issued the Imperial Teachings! The etiquette of the world is in the hands of Nobunaga!" Uncle Tsunayoshi couldn't believe it.

"What!" Kobayata didn't know what to say.

The etiquette of the world is in the hands of Nobunaga!

This sentence can certainly be interpreted as Ashikaga Yoshiaki authorizing Oda Nobunaga to maintain the order of the world and clear out the traitors who do not submit to me, the Muromachi shogunate.

But it can also be understood that Oda Nobunaga has the final say in this world!

Xiao Ping Tai knew that there would inevitably be a conflict between Oda Nobunaga, who intended to spread the military throughout the world, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was determined to revive the shogunate, but he did not expect that the first conflict would be so fierce!

Ashikaga Yoshiaki now has the support of two big trees, the Yamanouchi clan and the Kanrei Uesugi clan. One dares to mention it, and the other dares to respond. This magic is simply incredible.

Nobunaga can be understood as being angry, but what about Ashikaga Yoshiaki?

Uncle Tsunayoshi was in the center of the storm in Luoyang, so he naturally saw more. He found a difference. Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who originally publicly issued the imperial teachings to the daimyo of the world, acted more secretly.

And when Ashikaga Yoshiaki said goodbye to Uncle Tsunayoshi, in addition to wishing him a safe journey and bringing my greetings to my beloved son Yamanouchi Taro. He also asked in a roundabout way whether it was possible for the Yamanouchi family to join forces with the Uesugi family in a short period of time to pacify Kanto?

How much money and food can the Yamauchi family spend? Can they supply an army of more than 30,000 people from Yamauchi Fuchu Castle, advance by water and land, and conquer cities all the way to Luoyang.

Compared with Oda Nobunaga's two direct forces such as the Mother's Clothes, how does the Yamauchi family's Oniwa Hatamoto 13th Division look? Assuming a war, can they win in one battle?

What is the attitude of the family's important retainers and important people in the country towards their ally Oda Nobunaga? Are there more retainers who are friendly to the Oda family or retainers who are friendly to the shogunate?

Are Yamauchi Taro's tutors, Kobayata and Hosokawa Nainome positive about Yamauchi Taro inheriting the title of Shogun of the Muromachi shogunate?

"It seems that His Highness the Kufang and His Highness the Gifu Dansho are really at odds with each other..."

Look at this question! Except for not publicly asking when the Yamauchi family can go to Luoyang, it is basically as explicit as it can be!

"I don't know what Daiki is thinking, but before he returned, he ordered the public to respond to Gifu Danmasa's military campaign against the Asakura clan at any time. He also issued another imperial edict, publicly praising Gifu Danmasa for his feat of defeating the Miyoshi Three."

"In my opinion, the real purpose is not to drink."

"What do you think?"

"What do I think? What do I think? Gifu Danmasa's ambition is to rule the world!"
