Pillars of the Wu family

Doichikui has risen many times in the past hundred years. The most recent one is the Yamashina Honganji Burning Incident. The Doichikui army from Yamashiro and Omi joined the Hokka Ichikui army from Kyoto, Rokkaku Joyori, and Hosokawa Harumoto's combined army to destroy Honganji Temple. The Yamashina Hongan-ji Temple, which Renju built by himself, was burnt to ruins.

Looking at the angry peasants and soldiers, Kira Yoshishi turned to his retainers with great satisfaction and said, "Did you see that? This is the human heart! The human heart is the real power! Only those who control the people's hearts can control the leadership of the war." right!"

"I'll understand!" Regardless of whether Mikawa or the samurai from Omi felt the fear from the heart at this moment, as well as a deep sense of powerlessness, Tokiyuki Yamamoto repeated a sentence: "People's hearts are against each other? Control people's hearts The power of...?"

Stop the endless shouting of the peasants and soldiers, and after they gradually calmed down, they continued: "If you lose this battle, all the warriors standing on the stage will fall to the ground. This is the fate of our warriors, and we can't guard it The land behind you can only use death as an apology! But what about you? What can you get? Even if some of you are willing to live in humiliation, survive the random arrest of Miyoshi’s family, bear the humiliation of your wife and daughter, and then face For what? Miyoshi’s family’s annual payment, land money, donkey money, arrow money, etc. Excessive taxes, and! Don’t try to avoid this tax this year.”

"What! How can you do this? He is trying to force us to death!" When the Omi peasants and soldiers looked at Kirayoshi in horror, they wanted to get an answer from the samurai master, but it was a pity that Kirayoshi would not To comfort them, Imamura Keimura who just died is an example. The followers of the shogunate expropriated land money once in April, and Imamura Keimura went to expropriate again in June. The underground people strongly resisted and caused a catastrophe. .

"Because you stand on the opposite side of Miyoshi's family, Miyoshi Changqing will eradicate all those who are hostile to him! Whether you are begging for mercy on your knees or fighting bravely is meaningless, as long as you are hostile to him, you must die! Kizawa Changqing from Hanoi Zheng, Miyoshi Sozo of the same family, today’s Hosokawa Harumoto and the shogunate, and tomorrow’s you! A few days ago, Imamura Keimura of the Miyoshi family killed the retainers of the Hirohashi Gonda Nagon family in order to collect land money in Kyoto. Die, as long as you resist Miyoshi's family, you will also be killed!"

"They can't do this! We want to resist Miyoshi's family! We want to resist! We must fight!" Shouting again, the samurai have become increasingly immune to the word "Ichiku". Compared with the turmoil just now, they are obviously much calmer and bolder. The samurai huddled at the back of the line and whispered, seeming to regard the roar of the 5000 people as a drama.

Some parts of Omi’s Somura system have been preserved. For example, Takashima Nantou has obtained the privilege of being inaccessible from the Rokaku family. Enryakuji Temple in Mount Hiei not only has this privilege, but also the privilege of not paying taxes. If the lord does not have eyes to infringe on their rights, these people will take up arms and form an army to defeat the lord's army to persecute or kill the lord to prove that their privileges are not violated.

Kira Yoshitoki wanted to use the peasants from Somura to continuously stimulate their anger hidden in their blood. Only angry peasants can burst out with great power. He suddenly shouted: "You have nothing! You can't retreat! When When we lose this war, it is also the countdown to your death! When you die, your wives, parents, and brothers will suffer humiliation, and then be killed in the resistance, and we will die! And you will definitely be exterminated! Tell me is this your choice?"

"Never!" The crowd of 5000 broke out in anger, and some timid people began to collapse. Not long after they knelt on the ground, their bodies smelled of urine, and they muttered vaguely: "I don't want to die! Father, My mother has passed away, and there are younger brothers and sisters at home, so I really can't die!"

The same thing happens occasionally in crowds of 5000 people. There are brave people and there are timid ones. Let these people do things that they couldn't do otherwise, otherwise why should he fight for Sanhaojia?How many of the samurai in Omi believed that these five thousand farmers and soldiers were really as elite as the people of the Four Kingdoms who survived in ten rivers?

Everyone knew that it was impossible, but no one wanted to say it out. If the fighting will of the warriors was not firm, how bad would the fighting will of these farmers and soldiers be?They really let them be defeated in a wave of assault, and he can pack up and go back to Mikawa in Kirayoshi.

"Of course you don't want to die! My family doesn't want to die either! The caged animals know how to fight to the death, but we are the spirits of all things? When faced with the threat of death, why don't we take up arms and resist bravely?" Yoshitoki Kira's tone He suddenly raised his head and shouted sharply: "Do you know when wild beasts are most likely to be killed? It's the moment when they run away! Fighting to the death doesn't mean you're sure to die!"

"Yes... yes!" The five thousand peasant soldiers were shocked.

Yoshishi Kira suppressed his excitement a little, and asked loudly, "The people standing here are all fellow villagers from Shiga and Takashima. Do you all know each other?"

The peasants and soldiers were a little overwhelmed by the sudden rhythm of ups and downs, so they nodded mechanically. Some warriors began to pat their chests quietly, as if they were overwhelmed by this series of roller coaster-like processes.

But Kira Yoshitoki did not give them a chance to breathe, and said: "But when a coward appears among you, when he is afraid of the gun array in front of him, the rain of arrows splashing in the sky, or the opponent's horse-riding warrior rushing over, abandon it. The moment you fled with your backs, when these selfish cowards ruthlessly abandoned their comrades because of their own selfishness, and completely collapsed the solid formation, what should you do?"

"How...how?" The peasants and soldiers were a little speechless. It is natural to be timid. One moment they can be impassioned, and the next moment they can abandon their comrades and flee. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they do not Knowing what to do, they looked at the young body on the stage with burning eyes, begging him for an answer.

"You must not understand what a military strategy is! It sounds complicated, but it's actually very simple! You are all farmers, and you must know that a bundle of branches, no matter how strong a woodcutter is, cannot be broken by hand? This is the reason for the army formation! The dispersed army is like scattered branches, and the enemy will break when they are folded. Only the branches that are grouped together can rely on the strength of the team to resist foreign enemies!

But one of you is a shameful coward. He broke through the originally tight formation in order to escape by himself, causing the formation to collapse. What is the final result?Everyone, including the forced escaper, must die!Because two legs cannot run with four legs, can you still outrun cavalry in armor?Those timid cowards never thought about this truth, so when he ran away, everyone was killed!

One dastardly coward can turn a close battle into a one-sided massacre!Originally 3000 people could have survived, but only 300 escaped by chance. The reason for the cowardly is that I am alive and I cannot die for others, but who are you who took up arms and died for?Not to die for others!

It is for the land and farmland behind you, for your parents, wife and children!Tell me do you hate this coward who broke everyone's homes and killed relatives and friends because of a coward's despicable heart?If such a coward appears among you, what shall you do with him? "

Kira Yoshishi emphasized his tone and asked sharply, "Tell me! What should you do?"

At this moment, the not majestic child's voice roared out, but it made all the samurai present feel a sense of trembling from the soul. The whole body of the people trembled like chaff, because they saw a terrible scene under the stage, like five thousand devils in hell.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The red-eyed peasants and soldiers raised their weapons high and screamed with all their strength. The roar of 5000 people shook the stage into chaos. Looking at the farmers and soldiers in the audience in disbelief, is this the same group of honest farmers they know?Some samurai couldn't stand anymore, and they even took a few steps back and sat down on their buttocks. They looked at the young governor with horror and incomprehensible fear in their eyes.

"Crazy! All crazy! All crazy!" All the Omi samurai thought of this sentence in their hearts at the same time, but they could no longer stay out of it, and could only tremble with the terrifying tsunami.
