Pillars of the Wu family

"Very good! War is a bloody field of Shura! You must always remember that the brave live and the cowardly die! If any of you appear cowardly and want to abandon you and your companions and turn around and run away, kill him immediately! Because only in this way can you all be saved! Don't hesitate! Because the moment you hesitate, the cowards have already taken away your chance to live!"

"Kill the cowards! Kill the cowards!" The huge sound rose into the sky, and even the Miyoshi army on the other side of the river could hear it.

Kira Yoshishi's voice became hoarse, which was the sequelae of the anger just now, and now he didn't care too much, and continued to ask: "Do you believe in gods and Buddhas? Have you ever made offerings to temples or shrines? No Sorry, I am a follower of the Miaoxin Temple Sect of the Linji Sect, how about you?"

"I am the Nichiren sect."

"I am Tiantai Sect."

"I am Huayan Sect."

"I am Pure Land Shinzong."

The peasants and soldiers in the audience reported their beliefs one by one. Occasionally, some believers of the Hiyoshi Shrine are harmless. The gods and Buddhas of Omi Kingdom are one. It is not uncommon. The power of gods and Buddhas runs through the entire ancient history of Japan. In the late Heian period, the emperor became a monk and became the emperor to control the religious power with one hand and the secular government with the other hand. The legend is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"You all believe in gods and Buddhas, don't you? Then make an oath to the gods and Buddhas in the sky here!" Ji Liangyi turned around and walked to the high platform, took a deep breath and shouted: "Follow me! I was born in the past, and in this life, In the next life, I swear to the gods and Buddhas for the achievements of the third life! This time, Duluo Zhonghe will fight to the death and never retreat! If I break my vows, I will fall into hell and cannot be reborn! May the gods and Buddhas bless me to defeat the three buildings, and protect the land and the countryside!"

"In the previous life, in this life, and in the next life, I swear to the Gods and Buddhas for the achievements of the three lives! This time, Duluo Zhonghe will fight to the death without retreating! If I break the oath, I will fall into hell and cannot be reborn! May the Gods and Buddhas bless me to defeat the three buildings, and protect me Protect the countryside!" The neat and solemn voice came from the mouths of these illiterate farmers, and even the samurai behind Kira Yoshitoki were moved, and they couldn't help standing up and following the solemn oath of Kira Yoshitoki. poisonous oath.

"My lord, where is your ambition? Even a veteran can't touch your editor." Tokiyuki Yamamoto thought to himself, "No matter what, I, Kansuke, will follow you to the death!"

The solemn oath sounded again and again in the arena, both the Omi Samurai and the Mikawa Samurai were shocked by it, and they couldn't help joining in. Some hesitant warriors watched their companions go out to take the oath without hesitation, and they stood in embarrassment in embarrassment. Finally, I can only stand there and swear a poisonous oath.

"Very good! Make this oath! You will be brothers in the same robe with me! Brothers who can trust each other for life and death! You can trust your backs to your comrades-in-arms, and entrust your lives to your fellow robes! Remember! Some of you will die, but the living will take care of the widows of your dead companions! This is faith! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" 5000 people generously agreed.

"The next step is to select the most severe and ruthless person from among you! I need you to select a hundred of these people to form a team, and they will stand behind everyone to supervise the battle! Make an oath It must be obeyed, and if any of you break your oath and run away, the cowards will be punished by the 100-member team! Remember! The brave live and the coward die!"

"The brave live! The cowardly die! The brave live! The cowardly die..." The excited [-] army shouted oaths, and their morale suddenly rose to the brim. Just choose it.

Looking at a hundred farmers and soldiers with resolute faces, Yoshihiro Kira stepped down from the high platform to inspect the selected Ometsu one by one, and then said to them: "You will execute deserters instead of me! Remember, on the battlefield There is no sympathy at all, as long as he escapes, whether it is your relatives or old friends, you must be executed immediately without hesitation! This is loyalty! It is not only loyal to the family, but also loyal to your wife and children! Families must have the courage to bear it! This is faith!

On the battlefield, where you stand is the last line of the formation, and those who retreat will die!Those who turn their backs on the enemy die!The first real inspection after the war, as long as it is found that the dead are turned away from the enemy, they will be judged as deserters!It is also your duty to urge your comrades not to make irreparable mistakes, and to humiliate your family members, remember? "

A hundred big eyes with resolute faces replied in unison: "Remember!"

"My comrades! Today's oath will be recorded in the annals of history, and you will go down in history with my name! Regardless of the final victory or defeat of the war, we will not be in vain in this world! Death in battle must go without regret! Survive The survivors must inherit the will of the deceased comrades and guard the homeland behind them!"

"Defeat the three buildings, protect the soil and protect the countryside! Defeat the three buildings, protect the soil and the countryside..."

When they returned to the big tent, the retainers of the Kira family still hadn’t recovered from their senses. Both Samurai Samurai and Omi Samurai were amazed by Kira Yoshitoki’s speech. Speeches, no one even cared about the life and death of those peasants and soldiers, but Kira Yoshishi did it, and he also used a series of exciting speeches in exchange for everyone's oath, and they thought Kira Yoshishi was just trying to establish It's just a pay group.

What Kira Yoshitoki did proved his ability with actions. This time, not only the new Mikawa samurai were convinced, but even Takashima Shichito from Omi and the people of Sakamoto country also supported him wholeheartedly. After a month of long confrontation , morale not only did not lose but became more vigorous, and many people began to have the confidence to face the army of Miyoshi.

The next step is targeted and rigorous training. In order to reduce the fear of the Miyoshi army among the Omi people, Yoshitoki Kira specially dispatched Saijo Bei and Chi Bei to participate in the joint training. Every time an attack is launched, Shiga and Takashima will be defeated. Some people will retreat or simply leave the front when the opposite side rushes in front of them. Just go away.

Ometsu took on the responsibility of training and supervising. They also followed the team and charged forward with sticks. With the supervision of Ometsu and Ashgaru, they finally improved after a few days. Many farmers and soldiers who had made mistakes realized their shame and braved it The subsequent performance got better and better. In the subsequent training, the Chibei cavalry team and the horse Hui people were transferred to participate in the joint training. On the first day of the joint training of the cavalry team, the Muzu team caught 170 and eight people who retreated without authorization on the spot. People were not treated so well, they were flogged in public.

When Kira Yoshitoshi was inspecting, I happened to see this scene. A half-year-old child of fifteen or sixteen was being held down by a few big men, and then a member of the Muzu group with a white hair band on his head was personally executing the sentence. The rattan smeared with tung oil and repeatedly baked and exposed to the sun sticks to the salt water and leaves a blood mark on the back, which made the young man howl for half an hour.

"His name is Yaheisuke. He is 16 years old. He has an older brother and older sister. His father was an excellent ashigaru, but unfortunately died in Takashima County with his elder brother. He succeeded him as the second son of the family. Father continues to serve in the military." Kuchiki Fujitsuna said, as local lords, they almost remember everyone's name, which is also the basic quality of local lords.

"Remember, kid! If it's on the battlefield, I can chop off your head just based on your actions just now! Don't let me see you retreat next time, or the punishment will be doubled!" Han called his husband to carry him down.

"Yes! I will never retreat again!" Yaheisuke said loudly while lying on the simple stretcher.

"It looks pretty good, I hope they can keep their promise." Yoshitomo Kira nodded in satisfaction.
