Chapter 698 10. More than Ten Years of Friendship and Annihilation
The two of them stared at Takenaka Shigeharu at the same time, because since he said this, he must be trying to get the upper hand and have his own opinions waiting for the two of them to hear.
"What's Hanbei's solution?" Hideyoshi Hashiba stood up.
"Do you two think that the main hall must be burned down to Mount Toui?" Takenaka Shigeharu's matchstick-like figure really shows no signs of immortality. Apart from his shrewd eyes, Xiaoping couldn't describe his demeanor at the moment.
"Gifu Danzheng's temperament is erratic and unpredictable. How can you and I, mortals, know?"
Hearing Xiaoheita's words of excuse, Takenaka Shigeharu was not upset and walked in from the door. After bowing his head and saluting the two of them, he sat down below them.
"Actually, both of you should know! What the main hall wants is not that Asai Asakura defeats thousands of soldiers, nor is it that he burns Mount Rui to shock the master of the mountain!"
"..." Koheita and Hashiba Hideyoshi were silent.
"It's surrender! It's Ruishan, the representative of gods and Buddhas in the world, who surrenders to him!"
"Surrender?"
"As long as Ruishan surrenders to the main hall, even if he doesn't hand over some defeated soldiers, it doesn't matter. You can pretend that they have ordained. It's just a detail and it doesn't matter."
"Hanbei can indeed see clearly!" Koheita actually knew something about it.
Takenaka Shigeharu's words are very straightforward. In history, Nobunaga only asked for the sacrifice of ninety-nine eggplants for Matsunaga Hide, who rebelled against him twice, and then allowed him to be protected. Asai Nagamasa still offered the conditions for Yamato to transfer to Japan to accept his surrender.
For many other forces, Nobunaga adopted the approach of being tolerant and generous as long as he surrendered. Even people like Asakura Kejing, who served as the intermediary between Asai and Oda, were lenient. But for some people who are stubborn to the end, it is really a matter of killing them all and burning them together.
This was due to the rapid expansion and the reality that its own core group of retainers was completely insufficient to support the huge territory. I also hope that using a policy of one hand with carrots and one with sticks, all those who resist will see clearly that resistance will lead to a dead end, and surrender and surrender will preserve what they lead.
In a sense, it is quite similar to the policies adopted by the barbarians next door in the future. They both adopted quite brutal methods of rule due to the sudden expansion and development like the nouveau riche.
"Hey, Hanbei understands what he said. Heita-chan, you should also know the current situation. I really don't dare to come forward."
"Actually, it's extremely simple. Eizan surrenders and everything will be solved. The main hall is in charge of Kinai and the military affairs are busy, so it is impossible to have too much patience with Eizan!" Hanbei Takenaka also helped persuade.
"And Mount Ruisan, because the Gate of Enryaku is located, is a monastery that protects the country. Even officials, emperors and princes have to stay away. There are no less than two million believers, and Kinai responds to them. Even Beishan Luyuan Yuan does not dare to treat it lightly, let alone treat it lightly. This is the main hall where the shogunate holds power!”
"Hanbei thinks Eizan won't surrender?" Koheta knew that asking was in vain.
"Judging from the current situation, I will never surrender!" Takenaka Shigeharu is extremely sure!
"So there is no solution?"
"Yes! No solution!"
The three of them are now in a standstill. Do you want Nobunaga to give in? That's definitely impossible! Don’t even think about it! If he was someone who could give in, he might have chosen to surrender to Imagawa Yoshimoto before the Battle of Okehazama, and he might still be just a wealthy man from the four lower Owari counties now.
Will Ruishan bow his head? If he bows his head, he is no longer Eizan! This is the stronghold of feudal conservative forces, and there may be no other. There are really only a few "bastards" who do not bow to the secular world.
I may not oppose you, but I will not surrender to you! You and I do not interfere with the river, and we are all well!
If you want to mess with me, then do it!
"Three people! Three people! There is a summons in the main hall, please go quickly!" Yamauchi Yitong outside the door suddenly came in and sent a message to the three of them.
"Could it be!" the three of them said in unison!
At this time, when the drums are beating and the generals are beating, what will happen? Don't even think about it. Nobunaga must have made up his mind to attack the mountain after seeing the repeated lack of response from Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei!
The national treasure, Mount Hiei Enryaku-ji Temple, will be destroyed in a fire!
Xiaoping was so anxious that he didn't even have a chance to speak to Oda Nobunaga, but everything was about to become a reality. What should he do? What should I do?
Not caring about replying, Xiao Pingtai immediately ran out, followed by several people. Returning to the temple where Nobunaga made his camp, the people and horses lined up in the courtyard, and the soldiers were all armed and mobilized, as if they were ready to set off.
"Where is His Highness Gifu? Where is His Highness Gifu? I want to see him! I want to see him!" Koheita grabbed a person who looked like an attendant.
"No need to look for it! It's here!"
"Your Highness must not do this! Hundreds of years have passed since the founding of the Gennado Hall by the master of Buddhism, Monk Saicho. Mount Ruisan has been the place where the country is governed and where the people of the world are famous. Once it is burned down, Your Highness will not be able to escape an 'enemy of the Buddha' in this life!" "
"So what if I'm the enemy of the Buddha? So what if I actually became the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven? That wooden clay sculpture can hurt half of my hair?" Nobunaga did not waver because of Koheita's direct remonstrance.
"If you act like this, the people in the region will inevitably rise up! There will be chaos in Zhongzhou!"
"Haha, Heita-chan, you were not in the group when you went to Luo! But now you appear in my camp. Are you going to Sakai for fun?" Nobunaga asked Heita-chan in return.
"If I go back to the circle, there won't be any swarms in the neighborhood. The temple will no longer be hostile? That big tree has caught wind of the news and fled to Luoyang. Don't you know what he is thinking?"
Oda Nobunaga looked at Heita with eagle eyes, as if he could see through Heita!
"Why don't you answer? Don't you dare to answer?"
"If Your Highness really wants to rectify the shogunate, why would he do this!" Kobayata stiffened his neck.
"Pedantic!"
"Stupid!"
"Ridiculous!"
"I thought there was still a confidant in the world, but today I see that he is just a child who is not worth mentioning!"
Turning around and leaving Kobayata, Oda Nobunaga did not look back, and the Oda generals passed by Kobayata one after another. Seeing Kobayata standing on the side of the road, with a depressed look, they did not dare to approach.
Everyone saw and heard the dispute between the two just now. The friendship between the two people for more than ten years, knowing each other and getting along, and they got together in the war. They called each other brothers, entered the house, and their wives did not avoid each other, but today it turned into nothingness.
Is this the fault of the two people, or the fault of this era?
"Kobayata! As you wish, tell Eizan to negotiate peace!" Nobunaga mounted his horse and gave orders to Kobayata from a high place.
"Peace?" Kobayata couldn't believe it.
Did the last warmth of this friendship prevent Nobunaga from burning down Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei?
"Shoe Shonin of Ganshoji Temple in Nagashima has gathered the monks and followers to launch the Ikko Ikki. Nagashima Castle has already been lost!" Upon hearing the news, Hashiba Hideyoshi walked over to Kobayata.
