Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 526 Tamura Riot

Hideka who received the news was stunned by Tamura Soken's determination and persistence, but since the other side resisted and refused to surrender, Hideka had no possibility of being afraid of him.

But in the absence of foreign aid, it is unrealistic to rely on Sanchun City Cage City to defeat Tamura Soken.

And with the reputation of the Xiu family in the past, if one day they are forced to the point where they need the cage city for help, it will be a great loss not only to the Xiu family, but also to the authority of the entire Toyotomi family.

Various reasons make it impossible for the Xiu family to accept the possibility of waiting for the sources of daimyos such as Ogasawara in Sanchun City Cage City.

If this is really done, what is the significance of the Xiu family's surprise attack on Sanchun City?It's better to agree to Honda's original arrangement, and wait for Ogasawara Hideyoshi to come back, and then surround and suppress Tamura Soken together with the surrounding daimyo.

It was impossible for the Xiu family to accept such a shameful decision, and the political factors behind it forced the Xiu family to get rid of him before the Tamura family besieged the city.

That night, Hideka held a military meeting, and asked Date Masahiro, the captain of the Banners, to lead 800 Banners out of the city to the northwest. They were stationed at the Xitian Shanwang Pavilion, which had been captured by Hideka before, and Hideka himself took 150 troops. The attendants set up banners and bluffed in Sanchun City.

The 180 people in front were not enough to defend Sanchun City, and the 150 people currently in the hands of the Xiu family obviously couldn't defend Sanchun City either.

Fortunately, before that, the Xiu family will dismiss all the defenders in the city, and only the families of the Tamura warriors will be imprisoned in the Honmaru by the Xiu family.

The focus of this battle is the assault of the Hatakemoto group on the Tamura army. As long as Date Masakura finds the right time to break the Tamura family's army, then there is naturally no risk for the Hide family.

Fortunately, it takes about 3 hours to walk from the museum to Miharu Castle. It will take an afternoon for Tamura Zongxian to receive the news at noon, complete the team, and march to the foot of Miharu Castle. This makes it impossible for him to attack on the same day. Sanchun City gave the Xiu family a day to breathe.

Soken Tamura directly set up the main camp in the previous Ihonmatsukan, which is the closest branch to Miharu Castle, and it only takes 30 minutes to walk to the lower part of Miharu Castle.

Tamura Zongxian lined up in Iben Songguan, and sent people to try to persuade Hideka to surrender that day.

"My lord asked me to bring a message to General You. Everything was a misunderstanding. As long as His Highness Guan Bai approves of our family's security for Tamura County, my lord is willing to die for His Highness Guan Bai.

Even if His Royal Highness Guan Bai wants to put the family under the command of Ogasawara's attendant, the main family will not have the slightest complaint, and will definitely do its best to assist His Royal Highness, without feeling half-hearted.

Please also ask the right general to check clearly, open the city gate and report to the customs for the permission of His Royal Highness Bai. "

Just kidding, you have already raised troops to resist, so there is no misunderstanding at all.Still wanting to hold the entire command of Tamura County is just a dream.

Not to mention the matter of letting the Xiu family open the door, if the Xiu family really opened the door, I am afraid that the Xiu family will be imprisoned and a bargaining chip for the Tamura family, and the Xiu family's famous name will definitely be buried here.

Therefore, the Xiu family asked the horse farm staff to lean forward and replied, "My lord said that since it was a misunderstanding, please ask Lord Tian Cun to dismiss the soldiers and go to Luo to defend with my lord."

The exchanges between the two sides came to no avail, and they withdrew one after another to prepare for the next day's offensive.

However, the Xiu family was not prepared to give him a chance to attack the city the next day. He had already made an agreement with Date Masakura that both sides would attack Yiben Songcheng after midnight.

Iben Songcheng is a branch city of Sanchun City, but it is only a branch city. The city is very small and can only accommodate a few hundred people. Most of the soldiers of the Tiancun family can only camp under the city to rest.

The tents in Japan are different from the tents that Chinese people generally recognize. The kind of tents that can accommodate several people, in the Chinese sense, are only daimyos that can be configured in Japan.

Ordinary ashigaru usually use branches to prop up a triangular bracket, and cover it with a mat to keep out the wind and rain.

In fact, because of the fact that Japanese fortified cities are everywhere, when the army goes out to fight, it is rarely necessary to camp in the wild. Even if there are no fortified cities, monasteries and villages are often requisitioned as places for garrison. It makes the camping facilities in the wild very simple.

Due to the lack of supplies during the Warring States Period, soldiers generally suffered from night blindness, so night raids were not a routine option.

Even if the bannermen of the Xiu family, who were rich in nutrition, wanted to launch a surprise attack at night, they needed to light a few torches in the queue, and the soldiers followed the direction of the torches and meandered towards Ibansong City.

Stopping at the head of Sanchun City, watching from a distance the sparks from the northwest approach the north side of Iben Song City, and then go out silently. Xiujia knows that Date Zhengheng is ready and waiting for Xiujia at any time The command.

Taking a deep breath, Xiujia said to the horse farm manager behind him, "Sign out the signal to attack the Tamura family in Kaesong."

Following the Hide family's order, Sanchun City, which originally had only a few sparks, gathered a lot of flames at the gate of Sannomaru.

After receiving the signal, Date Masamune raised the torch again on the north side of Ippongsong, and at the same time began to pass on the torches that had not been lit before, and in an instant, the flames on both sides of Ihonsong were illuminated.

The bannermen led by Date Masakura were closer to the Tamura military fortress under Ippenmatsu Castle. After lighting the torches, they mounted their horses and rushed into the camp shouting. Assassinate any Tamura soldier who tries to get up and run.

Since Date Masakura is also the Date family, the bamboo sparrow pattern on his back caused unnecessary commotion in Tamura County, and the rebels shouted "The Date family is here" and fled in all directions.

The news spread quickly to Iben Matsukan, and Tamura Soken said in disbelief, "It's absolutely impossible, Dr. Sakyo promised me that he would not interfere with our family!"

His gaffe and swearing could not end the chaos of the army below the city. Due to the low visibility in the middle of the night, the sound of hacking and wailing everywhere in the camp under the home city made it impossible to determine the exact number of night raiders.

In this era, the generals were simply unable to restrain the soldiers in such a chaotic situation, which eventually led to the evolution of the camp roar. In order to protect themselves, the soldiers hacked and killed all the enemies they could see in the camp area in order to protect themselves. The soldiers on both sides, many of the Tamura family soldiers actually fell under the knife of their colleagues.

However, in fact, the Bannermen of the Xiu family only rushed out of the camp after completing an assault, and began to hack and kill the soldiers who were trying to escape outside.

The roar of the camp lasted until dawn before it returned to silence, and the soldiers of the Tamura family who were tired from killing gathered together in twos and threes to rest.

Xiujia, who had been waiting outside for a long time, led his team to enter again after seeing that the city had returned to calm. Due to the amputation of his right little finger, Xiujia, who was holding a knife by force, could only watch from the outside.

When it was time to slash to the east, the armor and horses of many bannermen in the city were already stained with blood, like a group of evil spirits from hell.

At this moment, the peasants and soldiers in the fields and villages under the city had already fled in all directions, and a small number of them fled into Iben Song City, causing more than 500 people to gather in the city, but the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides have changed positions.

The Xiu family asked people to pile up all the heads cut off last night in front of Iben Song gate, and connected the captured soldiers with straw ropes, and made people pull them around Iben Song City, all of which were to send a message to the Tamura sect in the city. Show power.

In order to repay Mr. Tamura's courtesy of coming to persuade the Hide family to surrender yesterday, the Hide family went to the racecourse and shouted to the city, "Repay Mr. Tamura, my lord said that last night was a complete misunderstanding.

My lord is afraid that the rebellion of the Tiancun family will affect my Highness's defense of Sanchun City, so he specially brought people to help the adults put down the rebellion.Here are the heads of the soldiers who made the rebellion last night and the rebels who were captured, please accept it, Mr. Tamura.

Since it was a misunderstanding that your lord raised troops, and my lord’s sending troops was also a misunderstanding, and both sides are misunderstandings, can the two sides resolve such conflicts and sit down and talk together?
My lord's conditions are not difficult, as long as your lord is willing to commit seppuku, my lord is willing to guarantee the lives of the soldiers in the city. "

You must know that Tamura Soken is only 17 years old this year. He has the consciousness to become a famous name in the Warring States Period, and he wants to lead the Tamura family to glory again, but he does not have the consciousness to be a samurai after the defeat.

Hearing the condition that Xiujia asked him to commit suicide, he yelled that he would lead others to die with Xiujia.But his stubbornness was not supported by other warriors in the city.

As the samurai of the Tamura family, they have fulfilled their duties as samurai, and they still helped him to fight against the tyranny of the Toyotomi family when the Tamura family was in turmoil.

However, under the premise that the troops were twice as strong as the enemy, they were beaten and defeated overnight, but they had to completely sacrifice themselves to be buried with the Tamura family. They were unwilling.

It is true that Tamura Zongxian is the last member of the Tamura family, and it is true that they have received the favor of the Tamura family, but it does not mean that they will fight a losing battle for this.

Bushido at this time was not as extreme as later generations
Tamura Zongxian, who was crazy at the top of the city, obviously didn't notice that the retainers behind him cast a different look at him.

They still want to live, but the house governor in front of them is unwilling to end this farce decently, and even wants to die for him.
I don't know who made the move first, and there was a commotion on Yiben Songcheng, and even the mounts of Xiu's family in the city retreated a few steps uneasy.

After a while, Ippon Matsudate opened the castle, and Ogoshi Okoshi, a branch of the Tamura family, took Tamura Soken's head out of the city and surrendered to the Hide family.

Looking at the blood-stained head in front of him, which was about the same age as him, his expression was filled with disbelief.

Xiujia looked at this young head and sighed, and seemed to see his past and future self from him.

"If I didn't have Hideyoshi's protection back then, maybe I would be like him now." Xiujia sighed in his heart, "Or one day in the future, if I lose the battle, will I be captured by the retainers like him and dedicated to the winner? "

"This boy just wants to fight for his family. What's wrong with him?"

"I just have more historical memories of this era than him, and more information than him. If I were in his position and didn't rely on those poor news, would I have the courage to fight like him?"

The Xiu family didn't dare to think about such an ending. Now he is no longer alone, he already has a wife and children, and he no longer lives for himself
"Take Tamura Soken's body away." Hideka said to Baba Shiko behind him, "Send someone to report to Kyoto, and say that the riots in Iwashiro Tamura have subsided, and the rebellious leader Tamura Soken has been put to death."

"Yes" Baba Senshi received the order to take over the head from Ogoshi Kenmitsu, and led by the Tamura family samurai to the city to inspect Tamura Soken's body.

Xiujia looked down at Okoshi Xianguang who was kneeling in front of him and asked, "You just said that you are the Tamura Family Lianzhizhong?"

Hearing the greeting from the Xiu family, Dai Yue Xianguang, who was kneeling on the ground, responded tremblingly: "Yes, Your Royal Highness."

The so-called Lianzhizhong means the same Qi Lianzhi, and it is generally the existence of the same sect, but this does not mean that the Lianzhizhong must be the same sect, and it is indeed Wadamura who traces back to Dai Yue. The relationship is with the descendants of Desaka Ueda.

But the bloodline passed down to the ancestors is already very thin, and they have already changed their surname to Dayue Miao.

The relationship between them and Tamura is like the relationship between the Uki family and the Kojima family. They are both descended from the Ukita family, but they have developed into two different Miao characters.

Later, the Uki family rose to prominence and became the head of the entire Ukita family, with Ukita and Kojima subordinate to it.

The relationship between Tamura and Ogoshi is also the same. They are both descendants of the Sakaue Tian family, and they were sealed in Mutsu Tamura County.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, the Sakaue Tian family has long since disappeared in the long river of history, the Tamura family replaced the Sakaue Tian family as the county secretary of Tamura County, and directly used Tian Cun as the Miao character, and established itself among the ranks of the Warring States Warlords.

In any case, there is an ambiguous relationship between the Daigoshi family and the Tamura family, and in history, Daikoshi Xianguang has always been Tamura Soken's second in command.

Now Ogoshi Kenmitsu personally presented Tamura Soken's head, which is a very shameless act in the eyes of the Hide family.

"How many Shi Zhixing does your family have?"

"Ha~" Hearing the Xiu family's question about his place of knowledge and practice, Ogoshi Xianguang replied, "The castle doesn't quite understand what the stone in the palace entrance means, and I have 680 guanwen knowledge and practice inside the Tamura family."

The high-level system is a general contracting system, and the 680 guanwen is the 850 guan of the talents handed in below. Calculated according to 5 public and 5 min, the total collar is about 1460 guan.

Roughly converted from the grain prices in the Mutsu area, Daigoshi is about 8000~8800 koku for Zhixing. This kind of Zhixing is already a big force in the Tamura family with 4 koku. Xian's leader meets Xiujia.

According to the Xiu family's temper, the Xiu family would definitely cut him off as Lian Zhizhong who betrayed the main family.

But looking up at Iben Songchengtou's protruding head, it was obvious that he was waiting for the referee from the Xiu family. If the Xiu family did not forgive Da Yue Xianguang, then they would probably continue to fight in the cage.

There are still 500 people in the city, relying on the nearly thousand people in the hands of the Xiu family, it's not that the Xiu family can't take it down, it's just that the Xiu family doesn't want their elites to bleed here.

In the night raid last night, more than a dozen banner attendants were killed and dozens of others were injured due to the commotion. The Xiu family did not want the blood of Ji Bei's son to be wasted here.

Therefore, Xiujia pursed her lips and smiled and said to him, "As Lianzhizhong, you can correct the mistakes of the master in time and prevent many people from sacrificing you. You did a good job.

The lives of you and all the samurai in the city will be preserved. As for the arrangement of Zhixing, I have no right to decide for Toyotomi's attendant. I can only promise to help you defend in front of him and guarantee your skills as much as possible. "

When the "General Right" heard that his skills could not be preserved, Da Yue Xianguang looked up at Xiujia in surprise and wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Xiujia.

"My lord, I don't need to serve you. I really don't have the qualifications to decide your abilities. Tamura County is the territory of Toyotomi's servants.

If I agreed to your request today to be able to secure the block, it would be injustice for you, me and Feng Chen to serve the three parties.But please rest assured, with the 680 guan of knowledge and practice just now, it should be confirmed to be correct. "

Seeing that the Xiu family still replied like this, Dai Yue Xianguang lowered his head in disappointment and replied, "In this case, please, General You, please say more good words about me in front of the attendants. As retainers, we have to obey the orders of the master. !"

The Hide family felt familiar no matter what they heard. It seems that Tamura Yoshiaki reported Date Masamune in this way when the reward was in Utsunomiya Castle. It is really a family, and the reasons given are the same.
