Oda Nobunaga was burning with anger and burned Hiei Mountain. It was very pleasant at the moment, but it really stabbed a hornet's nest. You should know that the people are basically Buddhists, and with the instigation of Yixiangsun, the Ikki, who had already gradually calmed down in Mino's territory, began to rekindle again. Ohara, Tokaido, Kinki and other places were in a state of turmoil and attached to them. Honanji gathered nearly 200,000 mobs on Oda Nobunaga's territory, and Oda Nobunaga's direct troops also became firefighting teams. They settled one place today and destroyed a group tomorrow. But the enemy was fighting more and more, and the days when my Tatsumeyama Castle was relieved were nowhere to be done.

Yixiangsect at the foot of the mountain was quite honest. After the attack on the first day, he feinted the attack several times later, leaving hundreds of corpses under the city wall each time. Seeing that Dawen Mountain Castle was a tough bone, Honan Temple began to build a village at the foot of the mountain, intending to siege Dawen Mountain Castle for a long time.

Yanagi Soyan, "Lord, someone is here again in Honan Temple." Seeing that there was no intention of breaking through the mountain, Honan Temple thought it was a plan and began to send envoys to persuade them to surrender.

‘Take a few rice balls for him. I don’t see them.’ Generally, this kind of messenger has the purpose of investigating the virtual and real world in the city. The trick of Japanese people has been used until World War II and has been tried and tested. If they can’t fight, they will have a peace talk. If they can’t reach an agreement, they will continue to fight until the negotiating messenger investigates the virtual and real world. Then there is nothing that cannot be beaten.

After receiving the order, Sonyan Yayoi went to the kitchen to find a few leftover rice balls, wrapped them together, and threw them down on the city wall. He shouted, "Sir, our lord said, I won't see you. It's not easy for you to come here once. Take these dry foods back on the way."

Lai Lian returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain and opened the package, picked up a rice ball and took a bite, and said to everyone in the tent, "The rice ball was left yesterday, and it seems that there is still surplus of food in the city."

Several generals in the tent threw their faces and snatched a rice ball. One of them snatched a rice ball. A young general who had finished gnawing his mouth wiped his mouth, 'Sir, what should I do? It's been half a month since the food I snatched from Kyoto had been eaten. We continued to besiege the city and starved to death. There were tens of thousands of people here. We came here after hearing about yours. No matter who fights the food, we are going to fight."

The generals in the tent agreed, "Yes, yes. I'm going to think of a solution."

As the saying goes, the emperor does not need hungry soldiers. Lai Lian comforts everyone, 'Don't worry, the master of the Dharma Lord Honanji, is already raising food and grass, and can be delivered soon.' However, Lai Lian also knows that the turn of spring and summer is the most expensive time for rice. You have to go to Jecho or Ishiyama to buy rice. A stone of rice costs at least one tael of gold. The most popular businessmen are hoarding. Every time a certain material on the market is in short supply, the rich businessmen are The warehouse will be filled with these supplies. Even if the Honganji family can't afford to buy too much. Even if the hundreds of stones of rice in the Ishiyama Castle were sent in two days, the locust-like mobs would finish it in a few days. If they couldn't open Tatsumeshi Castle, where would they get food? In the past, the Honganji family organizations always went wherever they went and grabbed it. The focus was on the more people, the better. Unexpectedly, once they were fixed near Kyotocho, they caused so many troubles for themselves.

Time flies, and it has been surrounded for one month. Now the soldiers in the city are relieved. The reason is that the Yixiangsong mob at the foot of the mountain has been confirmed to have been cut off by Ishikawa Goemon. Ishiyama Honanji Castle sent food twice intermittently, but it was eaten a few days after each delivery. Later, it simply made porridge with wild vegetables and rice. That's it. The ninja who put on makeup three days ago to investigate could not see a grain of rice in the pot. This state is a word of death whether it is siege or continuing to siege. The grain in the mountain city, the cured meat and large reserves, are enough for more than 3,000 people to eat for two years. Compared with the hard work of His Highness Oda Nobunaga outside these days to suppress bandits and suppress rebellions, we are simply enjoying our lives.

However, the most anxious thing about quelling this battle is neither me nor Oda Nobunaga, but the public and emperor of Kyoto. At the beginning, the mob did not rob the public under the organization of the Honanji family. The merchants in Kyoto were initially suffering. However, after the stolen food, the Honanji family's control over the mob began to decline. First, some public families were robbed, and then slowly developed to all the ministers who took their families to hide in the palace. Emperor Masato found that the situation was not good. The emperor has always been worshipped by Daimyo. Originally, there was no problem with eating the food in the palace for the New Year, but the families of thousands of ministers who suddenly arrived made the imperial family's food jar see the bottom.

The current situation is that the Honmanji family wants to help the Emperor but has no food, while daimyos from all over the country want to offer the Emperor but cannot deliver it. No matter how much they are, they will be robbed immediately when they arrive near Kyoto.

Emperor Matsumachi was so angry that he couldn't speak at breakfast. He added dozens of grains of rice in a bowl of clear water and two pickled shredded radish. No matter what, it was better than not. Emperor Matsumachi, who drank two sips of warm water, regained some strength and cursed at the ministers below, "You guys want to treat Emperor Matsumachi as the first emperor to starve to death."

Komye knelt on the tatami for a long time ago and kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty the Emperor, there is really no rice to buy in Kyoto. Yesterday, the rice in Kyoto reached a sky-high price of five konns and one dou."

Emperor Masato Town yelled, "What should we do? Are we waiting to starve to death? Yixiangsect can no longer make such a fuss. Go and pass on the imperial edict to let the Honnji family retreat."

‘His Majesty the Emperor, the Honjuji family finally made such a loud momentum, so that they could easily withdraw their troops... Now, only by inviting Daming to Luo can we stabilize the situation in Kinki and save the royal family from the fire and water.’

‘You idiots, what are you waiting for? Please ask me now.’

Konoe had been around for a long time, 'His Majesty the Emperor, now I am afraid that the distance cannot quench the near thirst. We can only invite the Oda family back. However, I heard that Oda Nobunaga went to Ozawa to rebel. In Kinki, there were only the Oda family in Tameyama Castle, and the former Kudo family was adopted by Kyoto.'

‘It’s the Kudo family who donated money to the throne that I ascended the throne.’

‘Yes. I heard that I was besieged in Taumumanyama Castle, and the Kikuto Haruki family was also there. I would like to ask for two imperial edicts, one for the Honanji family to let them evacuate from Kyoto. After all, there is no food here. The other one is given to the Kudo family, and he will be appointed as an official and let him come to Kyoto as soon as possible.’

Emperor Masato, 'If you think it is appropriate, go and do it. Also, you can't drink water like this at night.'

‘Yes, I’ll find a way to borrow a few dou of rice from Erjo City.’

Ashikaga Nijo Castle, ‘What, borrow rice, my general's family has no surplus grain. The whole city started drinking porridge and digging wild vegetables half a month ago. What, the emperor is about to starve to death. Forget it, during the Chinese New Year, my master, Hiroizumi Nobutsu, sent some marinated meat, but he never wanted to finish it. I'll send some to His Majesty the Emperor.’

Nijo Castle's footwear lighter, "Didn't the cured meat sent by Lord Shangquan finish it in the first month?"
