Maeda Genyi was assassinated by his sidekick, Miho, in Gifu Castle. The assassin used a Portuguese-made iron cannon. When the generals of the Maeda family swarmed to capture him, Haibo shot himself in the head again.
When the Maeda family wanted to arrest all the parents and brothers of the Mibo family, they found that the house was already empty. It can be seen that the death of the three mages and the assassination of Maeda were a secret plot laid by the enemies of the Oda family long ago. This group of enemies knew about the incident at Honnoji Temple in advance and assassinated the three masters and Maeda Geni in order to further disintegrate the Oda family.
The incident at Honnoji Temple on the second day of June in the tenth year of Tensho shocked the daimyo who received the news. The first person to get the news was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was fighting the Maori army in Takamatsu Castle. He had just finished taking a bath and was cleaning the water out of his ears.
After the death of Takenaka Shigeharu, Kuroda Takataka, who became Hideyoshi's number one adviser, stepped into the tent and dismissed everyone. He said to Hideyoshi: "Akechi Mitsuhide attacked and killed Lord Nobunaga at Honnoji Temple the day before yesterday - and surrounded and killed him at Myokakuji Temple yesterday. Your Highness Nobutada."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was so surprised that he couldn't make a sound with his mouth wide open. The cotton swab he used to take out his ears almost hit his brain. Kuroda Takataka quickly revealed the source of the intelligence: it was the envoy sent by Mitsuhide Akechi to contact the Maori Army. He mistakenly broke into Hideyoshi's camp because Takamatsu Castle was besieged on all sides. He read Akechi Mitsuhide's letter to Shimizu Muneharu and could confirm that it was Mitsuhide's handwriting.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't need to pretend in front of Kuroda Kanbei, he bared his teeth and took a breath. Then he asked: "Is it definitely true?"
Kuroda had already thought everything through and immediately suggested: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, Takamatsu Castle is in urgent need. Why not make peace with the Mori family? We will only take the head of Shimizu Souji and withdraw our troops. If the news is false, Shimizu Souji's head will also be taken away." Enough to pass on to Nobunaga; if it’s true—”
Kuroda Ruishui quietly said the famous words in the history of Japan's Warring States Period in the original time and space: "In this world, only the lord has the ability to gain power in the world."
Hideyoshi had no reason not to adopt such suggestions. So they immediately agreed to the Maori Army's request for negotiation - Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakage, the two top commanders of the Maori Army, were afraid that Nobunaga would lead troops to Takamatsu to fight with them, so they agreed to sacrifice Shimizu Souharu and his brother to have their caesareans performed. , in exchange for Hideyoshi withdrawing his troops.
Relying on Kuroda Takataka's suggestion of not announcing the funeral secretly, Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a big advantage from Yoshikawa Motoharu before leaving. The day after Hideyoshi withdrew his troops, Yoshikawa Motoharu also received the news that Oda Nobunaga had been killed. He was so angry that he almost ran away. He wanted to chase Hideyoshi, but was held back by Kobayakawa Takakage - because the person behind him was none other than Kuroda Takataka. None of them had the courage to pursue him.
The withdrawal of troops planned by Takataka Kuroda was famous in the history of Japan's Warring States Period in the original time and space, called the "Great Return to China." It still happens in this time and space, but just like Maeda Genki died twenty years early, there is a bug in the time and space of the traveler.
On the ninth day of June in the tenth year of Tensho, when Kuroda Kanbei Takataka was about to catch up with Hideyoshi and return to Himeji Castle, he was shot in the chest by an assassin lurking on the road outside the city and was seriously injured. The assassin struck far away, but Hideyoshi's army failed to catch the assassin.
On the same day, the news of the death of the three masters and the assassination of Maeda Geni also reached Himeji Castle. Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a breath of cold air - all these links are very Akechi Mitsuhide's style!
Because Kuroda Takataka failed to participate in the Battle of Yamazaki against Akechi Mitsuhide on June 13, Toyotomi Hideyoshi made a major mistake in occupying Daihoji Temple - he was defeated by Akechi Mitsuhide with 15,000 troops.
Although troops were gathered again to capture Dabao Temple the next day, Akechi Mitsuhide, who got a chance to breathe, was able to lead nearly 10,000 remnants and fled to Ryusheng Temple.
When Toyotomi Hideyoshi besieged Ryukatsuji Temple - Tokugawa Ieyasu and Shibata Katsuie, the two important forces of the Oda family, also surrounded him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who used to monopolize time and space to avenge Lord Nobunaga, was at this moment Major military and political setbacks were suffered.
The mastermind behind all this planning finally got what he wanted. After Oda Nobunaga's manipulations, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unification of Japan suddenly became far away.
...
On the Ghost Festival of the tenth year of Wanli, the information recording the death of Oda Nobunaga reached Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief after reading the short sentence in the intelligence summary: "Akechi Mitsuhide rebelled, and Oda Nobunaga died at Honnoji Temple."
Regarding the Japanese strategy, after taking Burma in the first campaign, Zhu Yijun judged that the "monkeys" in the original time and space might not have the courage to attack North Korea as scheduled. The wings of the butterfly have been fluttered, and his eyes are naturally fixed on Japan - before East-West trade turns China into the "world's silver vault", Japanese silver will be an important part of Zhu Yijun's establishment of a financial system.
The Japanese island is isolated overseas, and now it is like a poisonous beast inside, with all parties fighting for their lives. After Oda Nobunaga captured the Takeda clan, unification of the world was just around the corner - Zhu Yijun would never allow Japan to have a unified regime before he conquered it. The mission he gave to the Military Intelligence Bureau was: "Only to collect intelligence, and absolutely not allowed to interfere with the rise and fall of any party's power." He was afraid that he would interfere indiscriminately and prevent the "Innocent Temple Incident" from happening as scheduled.
Therefore, after learning that Weng Dali, Wu Shanyan and others were exporting ordnance to Japan, Zhu Yijun was furious. Japan's arms business is certainly easy to do, but Oda Nobunaga has the greatest financial resources. Exporting arms to Japan will only accelerate Oda Nobunaga's unification of all Japan - which runs counter to Zhu Yijun's Japan strategy plan.
At this time, he received information that Oda Nobunaga died in Honnoji Temple as scheduled, and Zhu Yijun felt relieved. After Oda Nobunaga died as expected, it was time for Ming Dynasty to intervene. Therefore, as the news of the Honnoji Incident came in, a fire broke out in Gifu City that day. Hidenobu, the eldest son of Oda Nobutada, who was still in his infancy, and Maeda Gen'i, the leader of the Oda family, were killed in the chaos.
Before Zhu Yijun picked up the ink pen and signed, he looked at Prince Luo who was playing with blocks in front of him. Oda Hidenobu, who was nicknamed the "Three Masters" in his childhood, was even younger than the King of Luo County, but he was despicably assassinated by his own people in the capital of China - and the Military Intelligence agent who received the task did not even know why the headquarters was so big. Fei Zhouzhang used precious kerosene to set fire to Gifu City.
After the incident at Honnoji Temple, the three mages were the most supportive among Oda's subordinates. Zhu Yijun's move directly knocked the biggest weight out of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hand. The sniper's assassination of Kuroda Takataka caused Toyotomi Hideyoshi to lose his due level in the Yamazaki battle. Not only did he have an inextricable fight with Akechi Mitsuhide, but he was also picked up by Shibata Katsuie and the Tokugawa family. .
After the death of Oda Nobunaga, what kind of development will it bring to Japan? As for the Battle of Yamazaki, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi's reputation rose the fastest, this time and space was finally destroyed beyond recognition by Zhu Yijun. Who will Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Ikeda Tsuneaki and others support? The newly weaned Oda Hidenori? Or do you support Oda Nobutaka like Shibata Katsuie? There are plenty of choices, gentlemen Monkey and Turtle!
Zhu Yijun made some deductions, drank the dossier in his hand, smiled and said to Zhuang Jingjia: "Put it in the Japanese archives." Zhuang Jingjia was familiar with this work. Hearing this, he picked up the dossier and placed it in Kunning Palace. On the first row of bookshelves in Dongnuan Pavilion.
The bookshelf is painted black, and the light is discernible. Every time Zhuang Jingjia walked to the bookshelf and looked at the wooden signs such as "Western", "Southern Ocean", "Europe", and "Japan" hanging on it, she would stick out her tongue and become even more heartbroken for the emperor.
