Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

The atmosphere of the war changed the situation in Osaka Castle. When fighting for peace, Oda Yurakusai and Ono Zhichang still had some weight in talking, but since Yurakusai left, Zhichang suddenly became alone.Zhibang, the younger brother of Zhichang, who has been tough and leading the battle from the beginning, also jumped from behind the scenes to the front of the stage forcefully.The cloud of war is getting thicker and thicker, those who wish for peace gradually disappear, the spirit of "rather than jade" prevails, and the inexplicable "tragic" makes people intoxicated.

"There's no point in repairing it." "That's right. It's such a time, why send an envoy? Even Kazuchi Aoki was drawn away by that old fox, and he can't come back." "It's suspicious to send women out. Isn't the Dazang Bureau repairing brother's mother? It's unreasonable to send her out on purpose as a hostage!" When such rumors spread all over the sky, Zhifang and Daogou actually contradicted his elder brother Zhichang: "Does elder brother still want to count on that old and cunning imperial palace? When is it time, and you want to send your mother to the enemy? Elder brother, in order to seek his own The stability of the house, do you even want to betray your mother and the Youfu?"

At this time, they have simply believed that only supporting Hideyori's mother and son, and perishing with Osaka, is the highest righteousness and the best good, and they also concluded that all negotiations and negotiations are nothing more than the struggle of those who are afraid of things... The Chief Zhi lowered his face and reprimanded him: "Don't go crazy, cure the house! Fight, fight, fight, one bite at a time, this is neither loyalty nor filial piety. Doing this for a brother has his own considerations for a brother. The Great Imperial Palace is by no means the kind of person who would take mother hostage or act as a murderer, don't be fooled by those boring rumors."

The matter seemed to be settled in this way, but afterwards, the governor was assassinated in the corridor between the city and Erdao City, which immediately made things complicated. It was late at night, when Zhichang was leaving Mrs. Dian's bedroom, a black figure suddenly appeared from the dim shadow of the ever-burning lamp, and slashed at Zhichang's left shoulder.Hearing Zhichang's mournful cry, the man turned around like a bird and disappeared without a trace.It was the time when the Dazang Bureau was in Nagoya helping Yoshinao with the wedding.Fortunately, no vital parts were injured, and there was no serious problem, but rumors spread throughout the city immediately.

"No matter how you look at it, it looks like the housekeeper did it." "Zhi Fang often said through gritted teeth that if you don't get rid of your elder brother, you won't be able to fight a decisive battle." "No, it's not right. It's just a light knife, presumably it's just a way to make the repair painful." Amidst these gossip, there was another incident that aroused the fighting spirit to govern the house: Xiaoban Jingxian, a ronin from Kofu, disappeared! When Xiaoban Jingxian came to Osaka to answer the call, Ono Zhifang was very suspicious of him: "This person is absolutely untrustworthy, he must be an undercover agent of the enemy." His most trusted person.Maybe he wanted to have a military adviser besides Sanada Yukimura, or maybe he wanted to contain Yukimura at all.However, not long after Zhifang made up his mind to go to war, Jing Xian found an excuse to go to Sakai Port, and disappeared from there soon after.

In some people's eyes, Jing Xianding sneaked into Osaka at the behest of the Kwantung, while manipulating the governance of the house, while waiting for the Kwantung army to arrive.This matter spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and spread more and more widely. Some people even claimed to have seen Jing Xian in Fushimi Castle. Zhi Fang was furious and immediately demolished the house that was being built for Jing Xian.In the following seats, Zhifang has also become the core figure who is more eager to start the war than his elder brother Zhichang. Take it to heart, think that if you lose the battle, at most you will die with Xiu Lai!When he lobbied the people around him, he said bluntly: "Everyone is mortal, but if he dies vigorously, he will be a man!" As a result, a raging fire ignited in the hearts of the young people, while the elders kept silent.

After Ono Jichang was assassinated, the passion in the castle grew.Not long after, all the former ministers were controlled by Zhifang, Daoquan brothers, and Xiuyue's confidant Kimura Shigenari. Kimura Shigenari looked more intense than Zhifang.Zhifang seemed to still have a chance of victory in his heart, but Zhong Cheng's heart was cut like a knife and an axe, and he definitely had no intention of looking back.He is married, and his wife is the daughter of Mano Bungo Moribo, who is also an important minister of Toyotomi. However, there are rumors that his marriage is a preparation for death.

Kimura is by no means a frivolous person.Rumor has it that both he and Sanada Yukimura believed that the war was inevitable, so they decided to wrap their corpses in front of Hideyoshi's horse to clear the name of Hitarusuke, his father who was forced to cut seppuku by Hideyoshi's order.This kind of rumor has become a fact in the eyes of everyone in Osaka.Hideyori's maids and the woman who served Mrs. Dian all respected him as "Master Changzhou".How could this lord of Changzhou marry a wife because of her sex? "It's so pitiful. It must be to keep the blood. If you can get the blood of Lord Changzhou, it is a blessing from the woman's previous life. Every woman is willing to accept his blood."

Amidst the maid's whispering, Kimura Shigenari tried his best to persuade Xiu Lai to fight against the city. Kimura Shigeno had this heart because of his father's death. Chang Lujie once served Guanbai Xiuji, and because he was believed to have seduced Xiuci into rebellion, he was ordered to cut seppuku by Hideyoshi.Father is definitely not a traitor!Since he was a boy, Shigesei had this idea. In the process of serving Hideyori, the lord of Toyotomi who was gradually declining, it gradually grew into a kind of iron-stone attachment: Look at Shigesei, such a Shiseido, whose father How could you rebel?He decided to die for Xiu Lai.This may seem contradictory, but it is actually reasonable.Man is an incredible creature, although wandering between knowledge and emotion, he is still in constant contact with predestined relationship...

Chongcheng has long understood Katagiri Kamoto's thoughts, and also agrees with Ishikawa Sadamasa's opinion.In fact, he should be included in the Katagiri, Oda, and Ishikawa faction.The reason why he unknowingly stood on the same side as Ono Jibo, besides his sympathy for Hideyori, was another reason, and that was his obsession with invisible fate. Sanada Yukimura has his own belief: No matter how hard Ieyasu tries, war will never disappear from this world.Kimura Shigenari and Yukimura have been in contact for a long time, and gradually accepted this view. The Toyotomi Clan is gone, and Hideyori is not a strong lord, but it is also upright to be able to die generously for it.However, good birds choose trees to live in, and Yuan, Changzhen, and Youle all abandoned Fengchen and went to Tokugawa, which is beyond reproach.

"The honor of a samurai is to die calmly. To the end of a vigorous battle with the Kwantung army, Toyotomi's name will be immortalized forever." Recently, the young and energetic Hideyori has also become very masculine. He does not doubt Ieyasu's sincerity, nor does he feel resentment. He has his own vision.After understanding Chongcheng and Zhichang's decision, he gradually realized that everything was decided.Being abandoned by Chang Zhen and You Le father and son made him sad, but Ronin's fighting spirit made him passionate, and Ronin would definitely push him to the forefront of the battle with Ieyasu.In this way, his fate has been sealed: Daban City is not his residence, but his prison!To get out of this prison, there is no other way but to die... Just when Xiu Lai was full of emotion and emotion, the old women and the Kanto envoy came back from Erjo Castle together.Kimura Shigenari took the old women to Xiu Lai very calmly, but he couldn't see the messenger from Kanto.Chongcheng reported: "The envoy who came from Ertiao City together with the wives asked to see your lord, and we drove them away." "Wouldn't it be better to kill them to sacrifice the flag?" Ono Zhibo who was on the side heard this, and slapped his leg armor loudly. "When the two countries are fighting, don't kill the envoy. It doesn't matter what you think in your heart. If you kill the envoy, it will tarnish the virtue of Lord Youfu." Reincarnation. In just a few words, the last contact with the shogunate was cut off. The Chang Gao Court has not come back, but even if they come back, there is nothing to talk about.Since the fervent ronin refused to let Chang Gaoyuan enter the city, she had no choice but to ask the Dazang Bureau and Zheng Rongni to convey Ieyasu's words sincerely to Hideyoshi's mother and son, and then returned to the high place of Kyogokuchu. "Hey, finally came back safely. Isn't the Great Imperial Palace planning to fight out from the city?" Zhi Fang was the only one who was neatly dressed, and Xiu Lai was still in casual clothes.It was sweltering heat in the city in the afternoon, the Dazang Bureau and Masahiro Ni were drenched in sweat, and they didn't even understand what Hideyori meant. The two bureaus leaned forward and said: "According to the rumors of the pawns, the enemy will leave the city on the 28th..." "Twenty-eight days?" It was Zhifang who asked the question, but the old women didn't know whether the question was early or late.He asked again, "Are you sure?" "Yes. It was originally set on the 26th, but later I heard that it was delayed to the 28th. Right, Dazang?" the two bureaus asked the Dazang Bureau. The Dazang Bureau hurriedly took a knee and said: "As the two bureaus said, the delay has been extended to the 28th." As she said that, she looked around, "Please, please order the idlers to leave." "Why retreat!" Zhifang roared angrily, "It seems that my mother was also deceived by that old fox. When is it time, do you want someone to retreat? Youfu has made up his mind and vowed to fight to the death with Kanto. The morale of the whole city is positive Wang, do you want to drive us apart?" Kimura Shigenari sat upright like a rock, without saying a word.Hideorai was confused and said, "Dazang, there are only Nagato and your son here. Why is it postponed to the 28th day, tell me?" "My lord," Zheng Rongni said loudly, "It is changed to the 28th, and I hope that my lord will take the opportunity to retreat to Yamato Koriyama. These are the original words of the Great Imperial Palace." The house was full of horror. "Oh, that's what you said?" After a long time, Hideyori endured Shigeunari and Jifang's sharp eyes, and continued, "Dazo, is that true?" "Yes." The Dazang Bureau resolutely replied, "The Dayusuo said that because the soldiers in the city violated their oaths and recruited troops, their father and son had no choice but to send troops out of the duty of the general who conquered the barbarians. As long as the lord retreats to the county mountain, he will drive away the vagrants, and then Within seven years, the city will be rebuilt to welcome you back to Osaka. For now, please retreat to Koriyama..." Zhifang suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, do you think that old fox can live another seven years? It's so funny!" "Wait!" The Dazang Bureau scowled and reprimanded, "Da Yusuo said that even if he dies, he will leave a last word for the general, and he must obey it." "Don't talk about it!" Chongcheng interrupted her, "As expected of the Imperial Palace, I worked hard until my twilight years. This kind of persistence is really admirable. However, this is a trick to deceive children after all, and Master Youfu has a rock-solid heart. Madam is very happy. I am worried about you. You should go to Madam to report that you are safe." "Yes, yes." Xiu Lai also responded, "Something must have happened, they postponed the battle until the twenty-eighth, and used you as a last resort. Xiu Lai is no longer a child, this time I must Battle according to the city! You should first report to your mother that you are safe." "grown ups……" The Dazang Bureau wanted to say something else, but Zhifang stood up coldly, "We are discussing a plan to send troops. Step back!" "This……" "Hey, why are you so ignorant? If you talk about the county mountain, it is estimated that the Zhifang has been set on fire by now. If the old fox looks down on us, mother shouldn't ask you to go to the ruins, right? It's not just the county mountain, I'm afraid Nara is already on fire... You must step back!" "Koriyama..." "He wants to drive the You Mansion to the ruins, and defraud this Daban City without any effort. Delusion! It's tolerable, what can't be tolerated!" After speaking, Zhifang grabbed his mother's hand and pulled her down forcibly. As soon as the women went out, Watanabe Naisuke, Akashi Morishou, and Kimura Soki came in one after another, all of them fully armed. "It's too hot. But I have to light a fire in this scorching heat..." Mumura Muneki saluted Hideyori, smiling wryly while wiping his sweat. Muneki Kimura is the elder of Oribe Furuta's main family.Zhifang called him here on purpose, needless to say, to tell Chi Xiulai that the order to set fire came from Xiulai. "Zongxi, although it's hard work, I still want to ask you to come to Kyoto immediately." Zhifang puffed up his chest, and turned to Kimura Zongxi, "This is not my personal intention, and You Fu has also agreed. The situation has become more and more urgent." "Understood." Mumura Zongxi bowed to Xiu Lai again, Fang returned to Zhifang and said, "Everything is ready, please rest assured, my lord." "Then please. Due to the defection of Kobata Jingxian, Yule and his son, we have lost the opportunity to march from Uji to Seta. As a result, the Kanto army was assembled in Kyoto at will. In this way, the only means left One: First, set fire to the area from Yamato-Koriyama to Nara to attract the attention of Ieyasu and his son, and then look at the opportunity to burn down Kyoto." "This matter..." "The Kanto army was cut off in the middle, and Ieyasu must hastily withdrew to Kyoto. Taking advantage of the chaos, we dispatched a strong force and defeated the Asano tribe from Kishu in one fell swoop. It can be said that the fire in Kyoto was to attack Koriyama, cut off the Kanto army, and our side The key to winning. Make sure nothing goes wrong." "Yes, I guarantee everything will be safe." Kimura Zongxi assured with confidence. Zhifang turned to Hideyori again, "Since he promised, my lord will give me some advice." Xiu Lai blushed, he had been listening carefully just now.It was probably the first time he had clearly heard the arrangements for the war. "Yes." Hideyori said passionately, "During this war, Hideyori has decided to use the castle built by his father as his own grave. If necessary, burn Fushimi Castle and Nijo Castle, Nara and Sakai Port... ...these are all burned. These are my father's cities and markets. If you win, you can rebuild them; if you fail, let them disappear together. You can act with confidence." "Follow the order." Zong Xi prostrated himself on the ground to accept the order. Zhifang immediately answered: "Okay. The old fox deliberately delayed the dispatch of troops for two days. We must make good use of these two days. Go quickly and enter the capital secretly." "Understood. I'll take my leave." Zong Xi bowed to everyone, kept talking about the hot weather, and retreated out wiping his sweat. Watching him leave, Zhifang stood up with a big laugh, and replied loudly: "I want to send troops too. Listen, light a fire at Sakai Port, and use this as a signal." Mrs. Dian's main hall was also extremely hot.The sudden heat made people confused and bored. Sweat kept dripping down, and Mrs. Dian anxiously stared at the white cloth wrapped around the wound on the shoulder exposed by the collar of Mr. Ohno, and said, "It's really strange. It is said that the person who wants to assassinate you is the doctor? Ghost?" On that day, Mrs. Dian still kept Qianji by her side, not letting her leave for even half a step. "The city is so dangerous, so I kept Aqian by my side. If any reckless person who murdered Aqian came out, something serious would happen." Madam Dian glanced at Qianji, then turned to Zhizhi. Chang, "The brother of the same mother wants to murder the elder brother, and the enemy, the Great Imperial Palace, which both Youfu and I hate, knows about your assassination, and even sent someone to visit you. What is the intention of this?" The Chief Zhi looked towards the open and bright courtyard, his face was pale and he said nothing. "My envoy was detained in Ertiao City, this is a last resort, but even the Aoki Kazuchi you sent out can't come back, so what's the matter?" "..." "Since people who visit your wounded and sick can come to Osaka, they may not be unable to come back. Tell me, why did Zhi Fang murder you?" "..." "Why didn't you reply? You're not even my retainer anymore? Rumors say that the main reason is that Zhifang and you compete for Ayu, and people outside say so." "..." "At a critical time when the Lord's family is at stake, the person in charge of this city... was murdered by his brother. How respectable!" But the chief remained silent.Today's Mrs. Yodo has become a woman who loves to chatter, and whenever she has free time, she grabs Zhichang and Qianji to complain.The Chief Zhi knew the reason very well: she had a strong nature, but she was forced to have nowhere to go by a Sanhe person.Acting according to her heart, she has such a mind, so she is even more surly.When she learned that Ieyasu sent troops to Kyoto under the pretext of attending a wedding in Nagoya, she fell into madness. "Why was I born into this world?" Mrs. Yodo didn't want to be the daughter of Nagamasa Asai.After birth, his father was killed by his uncle and Taige, and even his stepfather and biological mother were killed by Taige. "In spite of this, I was favored by the sworn enemy Taige, and I gave birth to a son for him, which caused today's bad karma." It must be the ghosts of parents and ancestors—this kind of delusion has been cruelly tormenting she. Fearing that there are really ghosts at work, the Zhichang sometimes even thinks so. During this period, Mrs. Dian often went to the Shingon Hall in the city to pray. "Mother, forgive my daughter! Forgive my daughter!" Sometimes, as if someone grabbed her by the hair, she lost all dignity and rolled all over the floor.Not only that, but she even called the Chief Zhi in the middle of the night, saying that the resentful spirit of her grandfather had come out, she dared not sleep, and wanted the Chief Zhi to be by her side. "The ghost of my grandfather is cursing me. He said that A Jiangyou married into the Tokugawa family, who has no grievances with Asai, so he will protect her children. But I gave birth to the son of the enemy, who wants to curse me, curse me... ..." In the cold dawn, hearing her crazy words in the empty bedroom, even the Chief Zhi felt that the room was full of ghosts and ghosts, and couldn't help but feel horrified.Afterwards, she would inevitably come up with the sentence: "Why was I born into this world..." and then burst into tears. Zhichang naturally couldn't answer, and he was equally confused.If you understand the purpose of life, you can decide how to live in this world, but even though you know that this is a dark world, you don’t have the wisdom to break through the darkness. My wife and I are pathetic creatures who will always be in darkness... It is this kind of The consensus made Zhichang endure Mrs. Dian's malicious abuse and sarcasm. Qianji was too scared to move.Only Ah Xiao, who was sitting behind her with shining eyes, seemed to come from another world.She is like a solid rock, not doubting the sky, not doubting the ground, let alone her trust in Edo. "It seems that there is nothing to say about the repair." Seeing that Zhizhang remained silent, Mrs. Dian shifted her gaze to Qianji who seemed to be frozen. At this moment, the Youjing Bureau rushed over out of breath, "Tell Madam, the Dazang Bureau and his party are back." "Dazang Bureau? Are you back?" "Yes. I just greeted Lord Youfu, and I'll be here soon." "Xiuxiu, what's going on?" Mrs. Dian asked, then immediately turned to the Youjing Bureau and said, "Is Chang Gaoyuan also together?" "No, Chang Gao Court has not returned." "I haven't returned..." Before the words fell, Madam Dian stood up, "Go, I want to go to the Lord Youfu in person! Youjing, come with me." Madam Dian was about to go out with a pale face, but she was no longer needed. Moved, the Dazang Bureau and his party have arrived at the corridor. "Dazang, Zhengrong, you have all worked hard, come here quickly." Mrs. Dian was very excited, she turned back, pressed her hands on her chest, suppressed her shortness of breath, and sat down. Under Mrs. Dian's urging, the old women walked in quickly.However, Chief Zhi's heart suddenly sank: Mother's face is too pale!Even though Masahiro Ni looked exhausted, he was still alive, and the expression on the Dazang Bureau's face only made one think of a dead person. The Dazang Bureau knelt down in front of Mrs. Dian, crying bitterly with a hoarse voice.When she cried, Zheng Rongni and the two bureaus couldn't lift their heads. "Why are you crying? If you come back safely, you will cry with joy, and you will have a good cry later! What happened to the Chang Gao Court? The Imperial Palace wants to kill you?" Faced with Mrs. Dian's continuous questioning, the Dazang Bureau cried even more. "Stop crying, Dazang!" Mrs. Dian thumped the table and shouted, "You are my envoys, and you haven't told me the result of your mission yet." "Madam, please forgive me!" The Dazang Bureau suddenly shouted, "There is nothing more to say. Please forgive me..." "What did you say, nothing more to say?" "Yes...no more. The servant's unworthy son...the unworthy son has been...set on fire...there is no room for change. Madam please forgive me." "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about! What did you set on fire? Don't panic, Dazang!" After a sharp reprimand, Mrs. Dian pointed to Zheng Rongni and asked: "I ask you, what happened to Dazang? Crazy for bullying?" "Yes...ah no, just because..." "Madam Qi." The two bureaus couldn't bear it and interjected, "My servant thinks, the Dazang Bureau probably refers to Junshan City." "Even if Tsutsui's castle burned down, why did Dazang..." Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Yodo suddenly fell silent.She understood that Ieyasu had persuaded Xiu Lai, and Youle had mentioned the matter of moving the county and mountains many times, so she couldn't help but feel lonely, "Oh, what a fire!" "Yes. It was the fire. The Chang Gao Yuan decided to let the adults move to Koriyama first to wait for the opportunity. Therefore, the Great Imperial Palace endured the delay, but such an important city was burned down by the Zhifang. Therefore, Mrs. Dazang had no choice but to commit suicide. Apologize..." Ono Zhichang turned his head to the side, sighing.He has figured it out.But just explaining like this, Mrs. Dian may not understand. At this time, Mrs. Dian unexpectedly stopped the two bureaus calmly, "Don't say any more. I understand...Forget it, Dazang, raise your head." "yes." "You are not allowed to commit suicide." Mrs. Dian said carefully, "I am the one who made people burn the city of Junshan." The Zhichang couldn't help being surprised, even if Madam was trying to comfort others, there was no need to tell such a big lie.It was Zhifang who refused to listen to the dissuasion of the governor and burned the county and mountain city with wild voices.I'm afraid Hideyori will only find out after the fact.What is Mrs. Dian thinking? "It's me. I'm the one who issued the order!" Mrs. Dian repeated, and then changed, "So, Chang Gao Yuan returned to the Jingji family directly from Nijo Castle?" "Exactly." "That's good. It's all right." "Everything is alright?" Da Zangju, who had finally stopped crying, was amazed. Zhichang suddenly felt a feeling of being abandoned, and he looked at the women again. "I still clearly remember when Xiaogu City fell, when I escaped from Beizhuang..." Mrs. Dian suddenly seemed to be a different person, her voice was calm, her eyes were serious, and the previous madness was swept away. What will happen?The governor became uneasy.Mrs. Yindian has always been moody, and this time she is even more frightening. "Ah Qian, listen carefully. Whether Xiaogucheng fell or escaped from Beizhuang, among the three sisters, I was the one who insisted on surviving. However, I don't know when, I was far away from my sisters. In the back, let A Jiang and He Chang Gaoyuan take care of you..." Mrs. Dian seemed to be talking to herself, and gently wiped her eyes with her cuff. The Zhichang remained silent, this woman can be so humane, just now, she was furious, like a lion in the river east. "Why do you have to become a burden to my sisters? When I think of this, I feel extremely guilty. Not only Chang Gaoyuan and A Jiangyu, but also the Dazang Bureau, Zhengrongni, Xiangting Bureau, Erwei Bureau and Youjing Bureau Same, please forgive me." "Where did the madam go? Don't say that, it's because the dog is not up to date..." "That's not the case." Mrs. Dian gently stopped the Dazang Bureau, and said like a dream, "Why I was left behind by my sisters, now I suddenly understand: I am stubborn and stubborn, and I always want to get those illusory things. things that others don’t care about.” Qianji was taken aback and stared at Mrs. Dian. Zhichang also stared at Mrs. Dian without blinking, quite nervous.It was really shocking, he had never seen Mrs. Yodo comforting everyone so gently.Because of this, he was even more surprised and disturbed, and he couldn't help thinking: Isn't she crazy? Mrs. Dian said again: "Please forgive me. I always only know how to force you to do things that are forced. I always fantasize about making gods, Buddhas, principles, and love obey me. If things don't go well, I will get angry and blame others... ...When I was capricious, Chang Gaoyuan and A Jiangyu walked steadily, step by step..." "Ma'am," the governor couldn't help but said, "it's time for dinner." "Yes, it's time for dinner. It's been a long time since I had dinner with Dazang Bureau, Masahiro Ni, the two bureaus, and the governor." Mrs. Dian smiled meekly, "When I realized this, my sisters had already walked to the table. Before, it was completely reversed from when I was in Xiaogu and Beizhuang... But now, the Chang Gao Court has finally abandoned me and left. Please forgive me, all of this is my crime." The Chief Zhi turned his face to the side, and winked at the Youjing Bureau beside him, telling her to order someone to prepare the meal. For the first time, Mrs. Dian's loneliness and melancholy made Zhichang feel emotional.She also realized that war was inevitable.Not only that, the woman's sensitivity made her foresee that the consequences were beyond human control. Thinking of this, Zhichang stood up in a hurry, "There is one more thing Zhichang forgot to tell the guard Shinjuro Okuhara." As he spoke, he hurried to the corridor, stopped again, and turned his head uneasily—it is said that people are about to die, His words are also good... Zhichang was shaking his head vigorously, and when he was stepping from the bell mouth to the gate, a horn sounded from the main gate of Osaka Castle, and the sound shook the sultry heat at dusk.Zhifang was finally going to personally lead his troops to attack Kishiwada from Sakai Port. He was only waiting for the night march, and he was going to set fire to Sakai Port, which had not yet been completely burned. "People are sick, does God know?" Zhi Chang sighed.This remark is not only full of regrets of being unable to control the governance of the house, but also of despair expressed because of the inability to adjudicate war and peace. Zhichang walked into the yard and found that opposite the rockery, beside the lantern that Furuta Oribe was offering, Shinjuro Okuhara was also listening carefully to the sound of the horn. Chief Zhi went over, but he was speechless. The surrounding gradually dimmed, and the stars in the sky lit up one after another, bringing a slight coolness to the world.The horn sounded again with a dull tone...
