Chapter 85 The Incident of Benneng Temple
In the history of the Warring States Period in Japan, the most famous coup event was undoubtedly the Honnoji Incident that occurred in the tenth year of Tensuke (1582)! The hero Oda Nobunaga died!
Oda Nobunaga was born in Ou Nakano. Since defeating Imakawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Tuosama, he became famous all over the world. After supporting the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki Konoro, he defeated various daimyos. As mentioned earlier, in the tenth year of Tenshin, he destroyed his old enemy Takeda family, and the concept of "the world's turbulent" was realized. ⊙. ⊙, in that year, the Honnoji Incident changed. This incident occurred, which shocked the history of the Warring States Period in Japan. This incident was called the mystery of the ages. At that time, Akitomi Mitsuhide, who was originally Oda Nobunaga's beloved general, why did he launch a mutiny? According to historical records, at that time, Mitsuhidemi commanded the army and shouted "The enemy is in Honnoji", and then Nobunaga burned himself in Honnoji! However, afterwards, Akitomi Mitsuhide, who killed his lord, was defeated and died in Tianwangshan.
There are two historical mysteries of the Honnoji Incident. The first is naturally the mystery of Mitsuhide's regicide. The second is how Hideyoshi Hashishi (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi) who was located in China at that time (a Japanese place name, has nothing to do with my country, and refers to the central region of Japan), how Hideyoshi Hashihashi (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi) achieved a large return of China in just five days and arrived in Kyoto from China! You must know that this journey was 200 kilometers long! In that era, there was no Shinkansen and planes. After obtaining the information on Nobunaga's death, Hideyoshi Hashi reached peace with Maori in a very short time, and then quickly arrived in Kyoto, defeated Akichi Mitsuhide in the Battle of Tenno Mountain to avenge Nobunaga. It has to be denied that this incident greatly improved Hideyoshi's prestige, but it also led to the generation of "Hideyoshi conspiracy theory" in later generations. Some historians believe that Nobunaga's death was related to Hideyoshi.
Tokugawa Ieyasu originally planned to attack Akechi Mitsuhide under the name of revenge for Nobunaga, but unexpectedly, Hideyoshi actually completed this matter in such a short time. Soon after, the army was sent to Katsuki and turned all the Mikawa to the southern part of Shinono into his own territory a year later. Later, after Hideyoshi became Kanbashi, he surrendered to him. Ye Xiang now basically knows the history after that.
"The Honnoji Change changed the history of the Warring States Period and thus prolonged the chaotic times of the Warring States Period in Japan. Obviously, if Nobunaga had not died in Honnoji back then, Ieyasu would probably not have the ability to become the lord of the world in the future."
Speaking of this, Ye Xiang glanced at another glance, and the new script lines appeared in his mind. About a minute ago, the new script was generated!
If it weren't for the ready-made scripts, he would have really been blinded by this large amount of Japanese history. Fortunately, the scripts were there, which made Ye Xiang finally understand the history of the Atsu Momoyama era.
"The occurrence of the Honnoji Incident changed Japanese history. But if all this is related to death..."
Black also explained Ye Xiang’s doubts based on the lines in the script.
"We don't know enough. But why did you suddenly say this?"
"Actually... when I was in Kyoto, I had been to Honnoji." Ye Xiang looked at the detailed historical materials in the script in front of him and remembered every word in his heart: "At that time, I felt something was wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
"I sensed with Onmyoji's instinct that something is hidden in Honno Temple. Something extremely terrifying is..."
At this moment, he suddenly looked at Black and said something extremely amazing.
"Akichihide Mitsuhide said a sentence when he was rebelling, "The enemy is in Honnoji Temple". People in later generations take it for granted that this so-called "enemy" refers to Oda Nobunaga. But is this true?"
"It's not Oda Nobunaga, who can it be?" Wu Shen Beidou showed a puzzled look: "Brother, are you fighting a puzzle with us?"
"The reason why Mitsuhide betrayed Nobunaga is actually never a reasonable statement in history. Many people think that the dark side behind this matter is the shadow of Ieyasu and Hideyoshi. Now the God of Death has resurrected these generals from the Momoyama era one after another, which makes me realize that the history of that year is closely related to the God of Death."
"Mirochin... should be a death puppet, right?" Beidou thought it very simply: "It is impossible for people like Ieyasu and Hideyoshi to be dead puppets, right? At least I can't imagine it. And I think it's unreasonable to say that they are the main messengers of the Honnoji Incident. However, according to historical books, after Mitsuhide rebelled, I became distraught, and then was hit by Hideyoshi in Tianwang Mountain..."
"Kamishui, he is probably not a Death Pistol. Maybe... it's just the opposite..."
Ye Xiang looked into the distance, sensed the terrifying aura approaching step by step, and read the script line as quickly as possible: "What if the so-called "enemy" of the 'enemy in Honnoji Temple' refers not Nobunaga, but "death"?"
As soon as this statement came out, it was suddenly in an uproar!
"This is reasonable. Mitsuhide rebelled suddenly and unreasonably. After Nobunaga's death, he became distraught. And you should know that Nobunaga's son Nobunaga was in the Miaojue Temple next to Honno Temple. However, after Mitsuhide rebelled, he did not surround Miaojue Temple, which was only 600 meters away. Is this reasonable? According to history, many of the soldiers who participated in the rebellion did not know what they were going to do. Afterwards, Mitsuhide did not seem to usurp the world. Back then, did Mitsuhide really decide to kill the Lord Nobunaga?"
"At that time, if Mitsuhide's original purpose was to be an enemy of Death, what was wrong with this? In fact, Mitsuhide was very stubborn to look for Nobunaga's body, but at that time he was already an unquestionable regicide. Then, Hideyoshi Hashiba, who was 500 kilometers away, arrived here at an amazing speed of irrationality, as if he was traveling through time..."
Speaking of this, Ye Xiang's eyes were projected towards... the corpse that Shi Ming had transferred from using space before!
"What if... the God of Death helped Hideyoshi to the Tenno Mountain with some kind of force? What if the God of Death decided to get rid of Mitsuhide and thus let the truth of the Honnoji Incident be buried forever?"
"How is it possible..."
Akechi Mitsuhide launched the Honnoji Incident, not to kill Oda Nobunaga, but to deal with the God of Death?
"This is just your random speculation, right?" Black shook his head: "Your statement is too far-fetched."
"It's okay, just take it as my speculation. The following are my thoughts, back then..."
"In the tenth year of Tenmatsu, Oda Nobunaga, who destroyed his old enemy Takeda family, and the concept of 'Tianxia Bu' continued to deepen. At that time, Mitsuhide could be said to be Nobunaga's first confidant and the person he relied most. In order to defeat Mori Hiromoto, after receiving a letter from Hideyoshi Hashi, Nobunaga sent his most trusted subordinate Akichi Mitsuhide to lead the army to the expedition. Ieyasu went to Jekishi on May 29, while Nobunaga decided to take part in Luo and meet the Empress, and went to China to participate in the battle. On that day, he and his eldest son Nobunaga came to Kyoto from Anto Castle to stay at Honnoji Temple in Shijo Fangmen, and Nobunaga was staying at the nearby Myokiji Temple."
"At that time, Kohihide received the order of Nobunaga, prepared for the expedition at Kameyama Castle in Tamba, Kyoto Prefecture, and went to Atago Shrine to pray for blessings before the expedition. I believe he had never had the intention of rebellion at that time. After all, if he had already rebelled at that time, it would be impossible for him to only surround Honnoji Temple and ignore Mikuji Temple when he was rebelling. But when it comes to Atago Shrine, have you not thought of anything?"
When Wushen Beidou was still very confused, Wushen Xiushu thought of something.
"Wait...Brother, Atago Shrine is located in Atago Mountain, Ukyo District, Kyoto...and the Shrine is also near Atago Mountain!"
"Yes... let's make a reason. What if there were people from our Godless family in the shrine at that time? What if the ancestors met Akichi Mitsuhide and told him everything related to the God of Death?"
"Does it mean..."
"Yes. It was May 29, and the Honnoji Incident happened on June 2. Suppose that the ancestor of the Mitsuhide family met Mitsuhide and told him that the god of death would appear in Honnoji. What would he do for Mitsuhide, who was Nobunaga's first confidant at the time?"
"But the time between that time and June 2nd, the Honnoji Change was still..."
"Oda Nobunaga is a Christian, so he has carried out bloody and cruel suppression on other religions. He burned Biyayama and forced Ishiyama Honanji to leave Osaka. In this case, how could Mitsuhide easily believe the advice of an Onmyoji to Akichi Mitsuhide? Let's assume that during this period, the ancestors of our family used some method to make Mitsuhide believe that the god of death is in Honnoji?"
"You, what you mean is... After confirming everything, Mitsuhide decided to go to Honnoji to stop the god of death from taking Nobunaga's life! But he failed to succeed, but instead led to Nobunaga's death! In this way, he became a traitor! But... According to some historical records, on the eve of the Honnoji Incident, Mitsuhide once publicly told Akichie that he would replace Nobunaga and become a person in the world..."
"In the Warring States Period, the system of historians was not strict. Today, the history of the Warring States Period has many components. As the saying goes, history is written by the victors."
"No... If he really wanted to rescue Nobunaga, how could he start a war with the soldiers around Nobunaga at that time and finally force Nobunaga to burn himself? Then, he killed Nobunaga's son Nobunaga... Your statement cannot stand the scrutiny at all." Black shook his head, he completely disagreed with this statement.
However, the next sentence Ye Xiang said was shocking.
"He does want to rescue Nobunaga. But... the way to rescue is not simple."
"What's the meaning?"
"The 'enemy' is in Honenji... This 'enemy' is the god of death..."
