Pillars of the Wu family

And Matsudaira Ieyasu is also very smart, and immediately put forward the proposal of letting go of the past and welcoming the samurai back, and it really coaxed many young Mikawa samurai back. Some of them are not tasteful, and I worry about gains and losses, thinking about whether it is the feasibility of the participation.

With this thought together, it is really impossible to continue. Kiku Ikkui's main force basically didn't move much throughout the summer, allowing more than [-] Ikkui people to besiege the good situation of Okazaki Castle, and slowly delayed the time a little Xiang Qiushou, at this time Matsudaira Ieyasu wrote another sincere public persuasion letter.

This letter was posted outside Okazaki Castle and was copied and passed on to all parts of Mikawa. The believers talked about the pain of the defeat of Ozazama and the hardships of the Matsudaira family's efforts to regroup. Trapped in the pain of a huge civil strife, I earnestly look forward to the return of the warriors of the Matsudaira family!No matter what you have done, don't care about it anymore, as long as you come back!

Now the emotional Matsudaira samurai couldn't hold back his strength, and rushed back to Okazaki Castle with his army. In the blink of an eye, the former Matsudaira rebels were gone, and Matsudaira Changhisa and Matsudaira's family almost became poor commanders. , the Matsudaira family seized the time when a large number of retainers returned to launch a counterattack, and forced Sanhe Yiyikui, who had been arrogant for a long time, back to his lair.

Masahisa Matsudaira of the Okusa Matsudaira family, and the Matsudaira family of the Sakurai Matsudaira family, these two poor commanders were very frightened, and there were not many big soldiers under him. How could he fight against Ieyasu Matsudaira? The letter of persuasion was sent over, and it was another voice of consolation. After thinking about it, the two felt that Kira Yoshishi's hands and eyes could not save them, so they reluctantly pinched their noses and surrendered.

Another Tadaka Sakai, who tried to stand on his own feet, also became a polished commander, but this old man was too old-hearted or thought that the governor would not let him go. In short, when the old man saw that the situation was not going well, he ran away from Mihe Kingdom without a trace. It's just that Oda Nobunaga's strategy cooperated with the three thousand troops to enter Mikawa, and Kikuichikui, who needed to be fierce for a while, was on the verge of collapse in the blink of an eye.The so-called [-] army is like a paper tiger that can be broken with a single poke.

With the cooperation of [-] elites from Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kasunari, more than [-] troops led by Matsudaira Ieyasu aggressively attacked the Acuzaki Katsumanji Temple and Toro Honzong Temple. However, it is famous far and wide because it is the Ichigoji Temple established by the eighth master Honganji Renru Sanhe Yuxunhua.

In the era of the Ninth Master Honganji Miru, his son Miyen was appointed as the first abbot of Honjoji Temple, and passed down to the current abbot Honzongji Mizuki's certificate, which seems to have become a Motoyama-level temple that has always been treated by the sect of Mikawa.What's even more amazing is that this monastery became the home of the Imperial Court in the second year of Yonglu (1559).It has leapt from a small local temple to a famous Sanhe temple that has spread far and wide.

Katsuie Shibata and Kasunari Mori acted on orders, with Matsudaira Ieyasu as the "master" and putting themselves at the level of reinforcements. They came here simply to help their allies tide over the difficulties and not covet any land benefits.Even the food and salaries are not paid by the Mikawa Matsudaira family. From this point of view, Oda Nobunaga really achieves "the warmth of a big brother". [

Matsudaira Ieyasu, the "little brother", was very moved. He was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot. While crying, he recalled the deep friendship with Brother Jifa in the past. His crying made Shibata Katsuie and Mori become two He was a rough man, he had never met a samurai who could use this trick, so he could only watch and comfort him from time to time, which made the situation quite embarrassing.

Just such a multinational armed force went to Shengman Temple to disperse the believers who tried to stop it, and set fire to the temple to force the stubborn monks and disciples to leave the temple.This method is very effective in combating the arrogance of monks and disciples. When choosing between life and faith, they choose to give up their faith to save their lives.

The Garan of Shengman Temple was burned on the spot by the fire. The Matsudaira family unearthed several gold storage warehouses from the burned ruins. The gold, silver and copper coins stored in them were worth tens of thousands of Yongle coins. Matsudaira Ieyasu ordered the family The samurai used wooden sticks to carry these copper coins around the streets of Okazaki Castle Town.And post a notice to let the townspeople know that these sanctimonious monks are actually flower monks who can eat human flesh and drink human blood.

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere of public opinion in Okazaki Castle changed from reprimanding Matsudaira Ieyasu for supporting Mikawa Ichikoi to one-sided support for Matsudaira Ieyasu's denunciation of the Ichimon sect believers. They retreated to the Shomanji Temple in the main temple and almost fainted when they heard the news. In the past, pointing in the direction of Okazaki Castle in the north and muttering for a long time without saying a word, he was very angry and felt guilty.It is completely unreasonable to not allow people to save points after accumulating temple property for nearly a hundred years. This is just arguing by Ieyasu Matsudaira.

Shengman Temple thought so, but the believers at the bottom didn't think so. In the past, monks and disciples used their privileges to do a lot of bad things to bully men and women. Now, Matsudaira Ieyasu pulled out a pile of hidden funds and hinted that Many others were taken away, which made them very unhappy. They probably thought that they were hungry and making a fuss to defend the dignity of the Dharma Lord and Yixiangzong, not these fat-brained flower monks.

The next day, the Matsudaira Army dispatched again. This time, the target was that Honjongji Temple in Tulu Township planned to take down the last Ichigomune bridgehead in Eda County in one go. Honjongji Temple on the other side had already made full preparations and gathered seven Senichi Ichikui believers stick to Monzencho, Kamiguji Katsusuke led five thousand Ichikui troops to try to reinforce, but Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kasei easily stopped them on the west bank of the Yahagi River.

This time Matsudaira Ieyasu was determined to teach Ieyasu a serious lesson, and took out the only more than 100 iron cannons to fire at Monzen Town. Suddenly there was a continuous roar, and then a thick burst of fireworks covered the sky and covered the sun. The legs of these peasants in the Sanhe countryside softened and they knelt down to kowtow. After a few steps, he was beaten into the bottom of the sieve.

The monks and disciples of the main temple were quite frightened. Although they heard about the iron cannon from the friends of the sect in Kinai, they were still bluffed by the huge power when they saw it for the first time, and suddenly spewed out a white The fire sticks that are still smoking are not "iron cannons". The monks of the main temple frantically gathered around the abbot to ask for the regulations, but the monks of the main temple didn't know what to do and how to help them get the regulations.

A soldier is a brave general, the soul of a soldier. As a general, he must have the courage to face a mountain collapse without changing his face. No matter how big a crisis he faces, he must not panic. Zheng is a knowledgeable monk with the power to bind a chicken, how can he know these fighting skills on the battlefield.I couldn't sit still when I heard the mournful wailing sound from time to time in the Monzen Town outside the main temple.

They found Shengmansi, who was like a bereaved dog, to discuss countermeasures. The two of them struggled for a long time before they could come up with a decent solution. Then they heard the shouts of killing in Monzen Town getting louder and louder, and they could vaguely hear a burst of heavy objects hitting the room. The sound of the door, Honzongji Shizheng no longer cared about the strategy to deal with it.He hurriedly got up and ordered the monks and disciples in the temple to flee with money and food.

This time, Honzong Temple's certification is much smarter than that of Shengman Temple.He planned not to keep even a penny, and ordered the officials to bring food and grass to form a small pack load team to move to Honjoji Temple for refuge. However, Honjongji Temple has so many temple products that there are not enough pack horses in the temple.Honjongji Temple was busy calling the monks and disciples to pack up their things again. It was because they were reluctant to give it to anyone who was unwilling to throw it away. They dawdled and delayed for a long time until the main force of the Songping Army broke into the temple. Honjongji Jizheng was reluctant to part Leaving behind a pile of belongings and fleeing in embarrassment.

A wave of defeat is like falling dominoes, and the strong inertia is like a tightly interlocking joint. It is hard to defeat Sanhe's army. The continued defeat, and the more defeats, the more many Yizong believers were beaten out of their fanatical beliefs.There are more and more followers of the Issaka sect fleeing for refuge, and more and more samurai and ashigaru join the Matsudaira family, and the snowball effect is hard to contain.

At this time, Kikuichi's only surviving remnants of Mikawa Kira's party came out of the inner circle. Nishio Yoshiji found that more than [-] troops of the Matsudaira Army surrounded Honjoji Temple. Yoshihiro strongly objected that the two were uncles and nephews and were related to the Matsudaira family.Arakawa Yoshihiro, an uncle, married Matsudaira Ieyasu's half-sister as his stepmother, and Nishio Yoshiji's uncle was Matsudaira Kiyoyasu. Those who knew the relationship were confused instantly.

Arakawa Yoshihiro is unwilling, this army can only mobilize half of the troops, and it is definitely useless to rescue Honjoji with a thousand troops.As soon as I arrived near the Honjoji Temple, I caught up with the retreating army of the Nagashima group and rushed over. I didn't know what happened, so I was coerced and retreated. In this way, the battle ended before it started.

After inquiring, I learned that the Nagashima Ichikui led by Shimoma Raidan had rich combat experience, and their combat power was second only to the main force of the Matsudaira Army. Therefore, this army was jointly dealt with by the Matsudaira Army and the Oda Army. Oda Matsudaira The coalition army has nearly [-] troops, all of which are well-equipped and well-equipped, and the crowd surrounding the [-]-strong Long Island is chasing and beating hard. [

Even though Shimoma Laidan has three heads and six arms, he can't stand the assaults of Maeda Toshiie, Sawaki Ryoyuki, Honda Tadakatsu, Honda Hiroshitaka and others. The coalition forces were just a little behind, and being chased and beaten was suffocating to death. Shimoma Raidan, who had been retreating in a row, didn't even have time to retreat into Honjoji, so he could only abandon the panicked Honjoji and vowed to Yahagi Chuanhekou fled.

Nishio Yoshiji is not the kind of samurai with outstanding leadership ability, he has always played the role of follower in the Oda family system, and he has no way to deal with this posture. He immediately gave up the plan to march to the rescue and returned to Saijo Castle to defend, while Arakawa Yoshihiro Returning to Tojo Castle with a thousand troops to station, the two sides ignored each other and divided Mikawa Kira's remnant party into two with the Yahagi River as the boundary.

On September 27, after nearly a month of tenacious resistance, the last bridgehead of Sanhe Ikei, Honjoji Temple, was finally captured. Matsudaira Ieyasu led [-] troops into the burning Honjoji Temple. The remnants of Shoji's Ichikui army withdrew under the leadership of Honjoji Kongo, Honjōji Konyo, Katsumanji Ryoyi, Kamiguji Katsusuke, Honjōji Misho finally stared at Sanye with resentment Aoi took one look and fled west.

Matsudaira Ieyasu stood still outside the burning Honjoji Temple, looking at the direction of the retreat of the four abbots for a long time before retracting his gaze. He himself is a follower of the Pure Land sect, and he doesn't have much rejection of Honganji, whose real name is the Jodo Shinshu. , but this time Sanhe has always been involved in his core territory and caused huge disasters, forcing him to make a choice between personal comfort and the eradication of beliefs.

He had to completely eradicate Yixiangzong's faith, and at the cost of nearly a thousand casualties, he pulled out the last embers of Sanhe Yixiangyikui. He must never let Yixiangzong have the possibility of resurgence, but he was unwilling to tear himself apart from Yixiangzong completely. His face was ruined, so he decided to give up chasing the lost Sanhe Sansi and the monks and disciples of the Benzong Temple, and let him go if he is willing to go.

Ieyasu Matsudaira's brow did not relax because of the end of the war. In the next few days, he accompanied Katsuie Shibata, Kasunari Mori and other Oda family samurai to celebrate their hard-won victory by sitting and drinking for several days. The captured Yongle money of one thousand guanwen was used as the reward for this crusade, and these great gods were sent back to Owari country.

That's not all.He sent Ishikawa Shuzheng to Qingzhou City with some gold, silver and jewels and a sincere letter of thanks. A string of high-quality Indra timid Buddha beads from the Ode to Baochunyuan Hall, which is Mrs. Tutian, and an ancient bronze mirror inlaid with gemstones from Mrs. Guidie.

Ieyasu Matsudaira owes Oda Nobunaga a huge favor this time, and without Oda Nobunaga's help, it would be impossible for him to overcome this level anyway.It is not a big problem to survive a winter or even a few years with his own ability.But the premise is that Kira Yoshitoshi in Kanto did not take any further actions. This is based on a beautiful vision under the cruel reality, and it is a pure luxury to fantasize even though it is impossible.

Yoshitoki Kira devoted all his energy to the suppression of chaos in the Kanto.For the time being, he, a local tyrant in the Mikawa countryside, made a fuss about the killing of the Mikawa Kira clan, but this does not mean that Kira Yoshishi would really let this brother-killing enemy go. Fortunately, their Matsudaira family is still going to die.

"What a powerful strength! Every word and deed can affect the world's major events, and every action is enough to shock the world. When will my Ieyasu have that day!" Matsudaira Ieyasu was envious, eager, and ambitious. He absolutely did not dare to show his expression to anyone, including his wife Sena Hime and the most trusted elder of the Fushidai family. He only dared to show a similar expression when he sat alone in the room in the dead of night.

His childhood experience taught him to be forbearing and kind and a set of delicate ways of doing things.His image to the world will always be a loyal and straightforward samurai. It is precisely because of this mark that he has received the full support of the generations of the Matsudaira family tree. The arrogance of Matsudaira Kiyosuke and the mediocrity of Matsudaira Hirota proved to be a huge mistake. The Matsudaira vassal group felt that they A more generous and kind family governor is needed, so Matsudaira Ieyasu has responded to everyone's response today.

It's just that with the smooth progress in the past few years, he gradually forgot that there was such an unforgettable memory.The action instinct that is almost firmly engraved on him still affects his actions. This time, Sanhe has always sounded a wake-up call for him. This is not the time for him to cock his tail. He needs to be cautious There should be no further incidents like this.

Oda Nobunaga's support for the Matsudaira family was so timely and powerful that the subsequent progress was so smooth that it was completely beyond his expectations.Matsudaira Ieyasu originally thought that even if there were reinforcements, it would be difficult to expel Ichikui within a year, and it would be difficult to suppress Ichikui's huge power within three years. Maybe he would have to fight for a long time, but he didn't want all of this to be at the hands of the Oda Army. A series of cooperations quickly disintegrated, allowing him to see for the first time that the Oda family's powerful strength is by no means as simple as imagined.

"Under the prestige, brother Jifa is a dragon and phoenix among men. Can't my Ieyasu be such a top warrior? No! I should be able to!" Matsudaira Ieyasu secretly cheered for himself, he set his personal goal from the realization Mikawa uniformly adjusted to catch up with Oda Nobunaga's footsteps, and he firmly believed that he would be able to do it one day.

A few days later, the Matsudaira Army, who returned to Okazaki Castle, took a short rest and set out again to quell the sporadic rebellions in various places. Ieyasu Matsudaira listened carefully to the various opinions of the family members of the genealogy generation and gave relevant answers, and finally said slowly: "The main family General order, from now on, all religious beliefs will be completely banned in Sanhe, and monks will be dismantled at the temples and temples, and monks will return to the vulgar or convert to other sects on the spot. In addition, the middle school warriors can freely change religions within one year, but those who do not change within the time limit can use discretion Punish him severely!"

"My lord, what should I do with Ju Yikui?" Ishikawa Iecheng said worriedly: "The people of Dongsanhe still don't seem to be moving, and who is behind Ju Yikui..."

"My family knows...of course my family knows the seriousness." Matsudaira Ieyasu lamented distressedly while holding his forehead: "Let Hoki guard the temple and go to Qingzhou City as a non-war agreement between the Matsudaira family and the Kamiso Ashikaga family. !"

……

Kira Yoshitoshi, who was far away in Kanto, did not know everything that happened in Mikawa, because the situation in front of him seemed to allow him time to deal with those things. Inquiry did not find any clues, but it was initially suspected that Matsu Nagamichi was playing tricks with Ashikaga Fujimasa again.

Just a few days after the end of this investigation, many people in the Kanto Kingdom suddenly made a 180-degree turn. They changed their attitude from originally supporting Kira Army's entry into Kanto to hostile attitudes, and declared very fiercely that they wanted Kira Yoshitoki to "roll back from Kanto." Echigo. The Kanto is the Kanto that belongs to the Kanto samurai".

The Satake clan, Edo clan, Oda clan, and Oda clan of Hitachi country, the Chiba clan and Yuki clan of Shimoso country, and the Utsunomiya clan, Nasu clan, Sano clan, and Koyama clan of Shimono country successively raised the Dai against Kirayoshi. Banner, standing firmly behind Ashikaga Fujimasa of the Furukawa Imperial Palace, for this reason he did not hesitate to fight to the death with the invader Kira Yoshitoki.

Yoshishi Kira took the call to action and read it over and over for a few times before he figured out the meaning.This Furukawa Imperial Palace Ashikaga Fujimasa has made so many moths.Anyway, the people of the Shimo, Hitachi, and Shimono countries were fooled into living there. Half of the remaining Kamiso country was Yoshihiro Satomi, who inherited his father's professional talent, and the other was the Hojo Ujimasa who was being held down and beaten.It is completely important for the members of the minority parties to come to represent or be represented.

Yoshitoshi Kira didn't care whether the people of the Kanto country opposed him or not. All he had to do was to get rid of this disgusting guy, Ashikaga Fujimasa. Whether it was imprisoned or exiled to Sado Island, he didn't want this "non-human" guy to appear again. It's good to be in front of him, and by the way, he can inherit the position of Guandong Gongfang to achieve his ultimate goal of stepping forward.

What the people of the Kanto Kingdom think, no matter how much he is connected, the retainers under him are all over Echigo, Omi, Shinano, Ueno, Etsuchu, Dewa, Kaga, and the newly acquired Musashi Kingdom. The elite samurai in the regiment are gathered together, and it seems that they don't need the intervention of the people of the Kanto Kingdom.

Out of his heart, he is even more unwilling to easily design the quagmire of Xiaye Kingdom, which has no inherent interests involved. The sum of these leading countries is only around 200 million shi.The size of the current territory of Kira Yoshitoshi is not that bad, and the income of Musashi Kingdom has already reached the 500 million koku mark. I dare not say that 500 million koku will allow him to accumulate quantitative changes, but at least he does not mention invasion and occupation. It's just that there is nothing wrong with simply crushing any Chinese lord along the way.

But at this moment, the people of the Kanto Kingdom decided to jump out and challenge him, challenge the dignity of the Ashikaga family and himself.The banner under the banner turned out to be to honor Kanto Gong Fang Ashikaga Fujimasa, and the samurai who spread the message posted the flying newspapers along the Tokaido, Higashiyama, Hokuriku, Dewa, and Mutsu countries along the way, and it took less than half a month. Spread this news to every corner of the world, let the world know that there is still a big war in Kanto that is about to begin.

All of a sudden, the Kanto region shocked the world and the heroes shook their heads. How many pairs of eyes were eagerly looking forward to the scene where the people of the Kanto Kingdom against Kira would finally start.As one of the parties involved, Ji Liangyishi was very angry. How annoyed it was to be forced to show off his best publicity strategy in front of his face. All the samurai all over the world gathered their eyes and put him under tremendous pressure. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will be judged by a group of strange warriors and even civilians, which hurts his dignity and irritates him even more.

It's not his habit to be afraid of things, and it's not his habit to endure this bad breath. Yoshihiro Kira threw down the so-called proclamation on the spot, and shouted: "What a good Ashikaga Fujimasa, I really underestimated your ability and means, this move Yu, who has successfully played tricks in the class, seems to be well prepared to teach Yu a profound lesson! Yu really needs to see what means you have to deal with me on the Ashikaga family!"

Koshiro Nagao, a member of Uesugi Terutora's sect, said respectfully: "The Uesugi main hall asked His Highness Gongfang whether it is necessary to stop the Sagami suppression plan and return to the east to join the main formation, and first to settle the turmoil caused by the people of the Kanto Kingdom."

Yoshishi Kira understood that what Terotora Uesugi meant by sweeping up meant a complete eradication. The expansion strategy of the Kira family in recent years was to fight one faction, pull one faction, annex the other faction, and punish the other faction. Many direct leaders are punished, and in the same way that the Musashi Kingdom is so, so should the Kanto Eight Kingdoms.

Suifeng of Longxing Temple once said to Kira Yoshitaka during his lectures: "In the Genpei era, there was a general in the Bahei clan of Bando called Shang Xing Hiroshi, who often had the ambition to be self-reliant. Your Highness should follow the example of General You in setting up the ambition of Lingyun, and only then can he achieve the ambition of being the master of the world!"

Monk Suifeng's suggestion is blatant, but it also reveals a very important truth. Punishments and rewards must be executed simultaneously and must not be used unilaterally. You need to know that more punishments will make the retainers feel resentful, and more rewards will make the retainers resentful. Gradually grow arrogance, Kamakura once the harsh government was violent, and the royal family resented, and then the Jianwu changed, and the Muromachi shogunate made a big turning point, giving too much favor to an old school, so that the West Kingdom and Kinai played a few roles in a row The genealogical retainers of several countries or even more than a dozen countries caused one after another chaos that spread to the whole world.

Faced with the provocations issued by the people of the Kanto Kingdom, Kira Yoshishi must resolutely punish them, and warn those samurai who have ulterior motives and take chances that the consequences of annoying the Ashikaga family will be very serious. When thinking of this, Kira Yoshih said: " I would like to tell my elder brother Yu about his attitude. I hope that it is more important for him to insist on suppressing Sagami. It is more important to suppress the Hojo family in Odawara. The stability of the Musashi Kingdom requires the Sagami Kingdom as a screen vassal. My elder brother’s position is where my Kami Ashikaga family’s future Kanto hegemony lies. Please Brother strongly supports the pacification of the Sagami Hojo clan as soon as possible."

Langgang Tanbo studied the map carefully with a folding fan in his hand, and said strangely: "I have carefully observed that the Kwantung National Army is still stubbornly ill, good and bad, and different orders are important reasons for the Kwantung National Army's repeated defeats. In the eyes of others, there is almost no redeeming point, and the people of the Kanto Kingdom should also know this truth, so why are they still blindly insisting on fighting against our Kira army? Buying fame? Or to achieve some ulterior secrets? It makes my subordinates feel very puzzled!"

Ben was frowning and thinking for a long time and still had no idea, muttering to himself: "The thing is abnormal! There must be some secrets in it, but what kind of temptation can the Furukawa government give them?"

"Could it be... a name?" Shimao Tokikatsu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and blurted out: "The last time I failed to give Yagataka, I must plan to get it back this time!"

"Fame... should be the only name! Other than that, Ashikaga Fujimasa can't give anything, but what else can he give?" Yoshitomo Yoshitoshi was also thinking about this trouble that troubled him, not wanting to understand the total You have to worry that there are tricks behind you to deal with you. The situation of Kira's family is so good that they cannot withstand the blow of the sewer capsized.

A group of genealogy retainers followed wildly and guessed a bunch of far-fetched theories. Nagano Yegu, who was huddled in a corner, suddenly said: "Could it be the title of adopted son?"
