In the history of the Warring States Period in Japan, the most famous coup d'état was, without a doubt, the Honnoji change that took place in the tenth year of Tensho (1582)! A generation of hero Oda Nobunaga has just fallen!
Oda Nobunaga is a daimyo who was born in Owari country. Since he defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Battle of Ozazama, he has become famous all over the world. After supporting the general Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he defeated all daimyos. As mentioned before, In the tenth year of Tianzheng, he destroyed his old enemy, the Takeda family, and he was only one step away from the realization of the unification of Japan and the realization of the concept of "the world distributes martial arts". However, it was also in this year that the Honnoji Temple Incident occurred, which shook the history of the Warring States Period in Japan. This incident is known as the mystery of the ages. Back then, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was Oda Nobunaga's favorite general, launched a mutiny? According to historical records, Mitsuhide commanded the army at that time, shouting "the enemy is in Honnoji Temple", and then Nobunaga committed suicide at Honnoji Temple! However, after that, Akechi Mitsuhide killed his lord, and then he was defeated in Tianwang Mountain and died.
There are two historical mysteries of the Honnoji Incident. The first is naturally the mystery of Mitsuhide's regicide, and the second is Hashiba Hideyoshi (later Toyotomi Hideyoshi), who was located in China (a place name in Japan, which has nothing to do with our country, and refers to the central region of Japan). How to realize the big return to China in just five days, and arrived in Kyoto from the Chinese region! You know, this distance is as long as 200 kilometers! In that era, there were no Shinkansen or airplanes. After receiving the news of Nobunaga’s death, Hashiba Hideyoshi reached an agreement with Mori in a very short period of time, and then quickly rushed to Kyoto to defeat Akechi Mitsuhide in the Battle of Tennosan. long revenge. It has to be denied that this incident greatly enhanced Hideyoshi's prestige, but it also gave rise to the "Hideyoshi conspiracy theory" in later generations. Some historians believe that Nobunaga's death has something to do with Hideyoshi.
Tokugawa Ieyasu had originally planned to attack Mitsuhide Akechi in the name of revenge for Nobunaga, but he did not expect that Hideyoshi would complete the matter in such a short period of time, and soon dispatched Kai, and sent Mikawa to Shinano a year later. The entire southern area became his own territory, and then he surrendered to Hideyoshi after he became Guanbai. Ye Xiang now basically knows the history after that.
"The change at Honnoji Temple changed the history of the Warring States Period, thus prolonging Japan's troubled times of the Warring States Period. Obviously, if Nobunaga had not died in Honnoji Temple, Ieyasu might not have the ability to become the lord of the world in the future."
Speaking of this, Ye Xiang glanced at the new script lines that appeared in his mind. About a minute ago, a new script was generated!
If it weren't for the ready-made script and the huge amount of Japanese history, he would really be blind. Thanks to the script, Ye Xiang finally understood the history of the Azuchi Momoyama era.
"The occurrence of Honnoji Temple changed the history of Japan. However, if all this has something to do with Shinigami..."
At this time, Black also explained Ye Xiang's doubts according to the lines in the script.
"We don't know enough about it. But why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"Actually... when I was in Kyoto, I once went to the Honnoji Temple." Ye Xiang looked at the detailed historical information in the script in front of him, and firmly engraved every word in his heart: "At that time, I felt something was wrong..."
"Something's wrong?"
"I sensed with the instinct of an onmyoji that there is something hidden in the Innoji Temple. Something extremely terrifying..."
At this moment, he suddenly looked at Black and uttered an extremely astonishing sentence.
"Akechi Mitsuhide said a word during the rebellion. 'The enemy is in the Honnoji Temple'. People in later generations will take it for granted that this so-called 'enemy' refers to Oda Nobunaga. But it is true. ?"
"It's not Oda Nobunaga, who could it be?" Wushen Beidou showed a puzzled look: "Brother, are you playing charades with us?"
"The reason for Mitsuhide's betrayal of Nobunaga, in fact, has never been a reasonable explanation in history. Many people think that the shady behind this incident is the shadow of Ieyasu and Hideyoshi. Now the god of death has these military generals of the Azuchi-Momoyama era one by one A resurrection made me realize that the history of that year is closely related to death."
"Mitsuhide...should be a Dead Apostle, right?" Hokuto thought very simply: "People like Ieyasu and Hideyoshi, it's impossible for them to be Dead Apostles, right? At least I can't imagine it. And they are said to be the change of Honnoji Temple." I also think it's unreasonable to be the main messenger. But according to the history books, after Mitsuhide's rebellion, I also became distraught, and then I was killed by Hideyoshi in Tianwang Mountain... "
"Guangxiu, I'm afraid he's not a Dead Apostle. Maybe... just the opposite..."
Ye Xiang looked into the distance, sensing the terrifying aura approaching step by step, and recited the lines of the script at the fastest speed: "If the so-called 'enemy' in 'The Enemy is in Honnoji' refers not to Nobunaga, but to 'Reaper' Woolen cloth?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar!
"In this way, it makes sense. Mitsuhide's extremely unreasonable and abrupt rebellion, after Nobunaga's death, he became distraught. And you must know that Nobunaga's eldest son, Nobutada, was in Myogakuji Temple next to Honno-ji Temple at that time. However, after Mitsuhide's rebellion, there was no Is it reasonable to encircle Miaojue Temple, which is only 600 meters away in a straight line? According to history at that time, many soldiers who participated in the rebellion did not know what they were going to do. Mitsuhide's actions afterwards did not seem to be The appearance of usurping the world. Did Mitsuhide really decide to kill the lord Nobunaga back then?"
"At that time, if Mitsuhide's original goal was to fight against the god of death, but what went wrong? In fact, Mitsuhide was very stubborn to find Nobunaga's body at that time, but there was no doubt about him at that time. Afterwards, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was 500 kilometers away, arrived here at an unreasonably astonishing speed, as if traveling through time... "
Having said that, Ye Xiang's gaze was cast on... the corpse that Shi Ming borrowed the space to transfer over before!
"What if at that time... the god of death helped Hideyoshi rush to Tianwang Mountain through some kind of power? What if the god of death decided to get rid of Mitsuhide, so that the truth of the Honnoji change would be buried forever?"
"how is this possible… "
Akechi Mitsuhide launched the Honnoji Incident not to kill Oda Nobunaga, but to deal with Shinigami
"Is this just your random speculation?" Black shook his head: "Your statement is too far-fetched."
"It's okay, you can just take it as my speculation. The following are my thoughts, back then..."
"In the tenth year of Tianzheng, Oda Nobunaga, the old enemy of the Takeda family, was eliminated, and the concept of 'Tianxia Buwu' continued to deepen. At that time, Mitsuhide could be said to be Nobunaga's number one confidant and the person he relied on most. Back then, in order to defeat Mori Terumoto, after receiving Hashiba Hideyoshi's request for help, Nobunaga sent his most trusted subordinate Mitsuhide Akechi to lead the army. Ieyasu went to Kaishi on May 29, and Nobunaga decided to go to Luo in person to meet the Queen of Heaven. He went to China to participate in the battle. On that day, he and his eldest son Nobutada came to Kyoto from Azuchi Castle and stayed at Honnoji Temple in Shijofang Gate, while Nobutada stayed at the nearby Miaojue Temple.”
"At that time, Mitsuhide received Nobunaga's order to prepare for the expedition in Tamba Kameyama Castle, Kyoto Prefecture, and went to Atago Shrine to pray for blessings before the expedition. I believe that he had no intention of treason at that time. After all, if he had already Rebellion, it is impossible to just surround Honnoji Temple and ignore Myogakuji Temple during the rebellion. But when it comes to Atago Shrine, didn’t you think of anything?”
When Wushen Beidou was still very puzzled, Wushen Hideki thought of something.
"Wait... Brother, Atago Shrine is located in Atago Mountain, Ukyo District, Kyoto... and Wushen Shrine is also near Atago Mountain!"
"Yes... Let's make an inference. What if there were people from our Wushen family in the shrine at that time? What if the ancestor met Mitsuhide Akechi and told him everything related to the god of death?"
"Could it be that… "
"Yes. It was May 29th, and the Honno-ji Temple change took place on June 2nd. Suppose the ancestors of the Wushen family met with Mitsuhide and told him... that the god of death would appear at Honno-ji Temple. For Mitsuhide, Nobunaga's number one confidant, what would he do?"
"However, the time between that time and the Honnoji change on June 2 is still..."
"Oda Nobunaga is a Christian, so he carried out a bloody and brutal suppression of other religions. He burned Mount Hiei that year, and forced Ishiyama Honganji to leave Osaka. In this case, an onmyoji said to Akechi Mitsuhide, How could Mitsuhide believe it easily? Let’s assume that during this period of time, the ancestors of our family used some method to convince Mitsuhide that the god of death is in the Innoji Temple?"
"You, what do you mean... Mitsuhide decided to go to the Honnoji Temple after confirming everything, to prevent the god of death from taking Nobunaga's life! But he failed to say nothing, but instead contributed to Nobunaga's death! In this way, he became a traitor. Thief! But... According to some historical records, on the eve of the Honnoji change, Mitsuhide once publicly stated to the Akechi Army that he would replace Nobunaga as a man of the world... "
"In Japan during the Warring States Period, the system of historians was not strict. Today's history of the Warring States Period has a lot of elements of unofficial history. As the saying goes, history is written by the victors."
"No... If he really came to rescue Nobunaga, how could he start a war with the sergeants around Nobunaga at that time, and finally persecute Nobunaga? After that, he killed Nobunaga's son Nobunaga... What you said is fundamental Doesn't stand up to scrutiny." Blake shook his head, completely disagreeing with this statement.
However, Ye Xiang's next sentence was earth-shattering.
"He really wanted to rescue Nobunaga. But... the way to rescue is not simple."
"What's the meaning?"
"The 'enemy' is in the Innoji Temple... this 'enemy' is the god of death..."
"'Possessed' on the body of Oda Nobunaga's 'Grim Reaper'!"
