After the experience of Izumi and Awaji, coupled with the experiences of Owari and Mino, and the summary and analysis of Hirate Honhide, I found that the people of the wealthy countries in various places can be roughly divided into three categories. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first type is people who have no ambition and lack pursuit, which is commonly known as the wall grass that goes with the flow. This group of people did not have unwavering long-term goals, and they were limited in their resistance to the centralized means of the daimyo, and as long as the overall situation was decided, they would calmly express their obedience.

Led by the Swamp Ren Shi, the first group of Izumi people to express their obedience was like this. They are ideal obedient citizens and will not pose much of a threat to the security of the territory, but correspondingly, their combat ability is not satisfactory. The six wealthy families of Awaji who surrendered with Ataka Nobuyasu belong to this category.

The second type is people who can't stand loneliness, have strong material desires and power desires, and are determined to climb up. If these people can't become careerists themselves, they are willing to become the lackeys of careerists, and they often take the initiative to surrender to the daimyo and become vassals for the sake of high-ranking officials, and devote themselves to the centralized system.

Dr. Yasuda Terada is like this, and Suga Dacho of Awaji is similar. Their enthusiasm and ability to participate in joint battles are obviously stronger than ordinary people, and they are not inferior to the genealogical army. However, its loyalty is obviously questionable, and when other daimyo offer better terms, it is not unlikely that they will defect.

The third category is more special, the kind of people who are obsessed with being the emperor of the soil and resisting the process of centralization. You want to say that he has ambitions, but people have no intention of expanding after decades of squatting on the ground, but to say that he has no ambitions, he refuses to be included in the rule of the bureaucracy. This can be described as a special historical phenomenon under special historical conditions.

Sungoro Matsuura of Izumi and Funakoshi Keinao of Awaji are typical representatives of the third category of characters. They are characterized by always adhering to the position of "self-centered", wandering between various daimyo and refusing to integrate into any faction. It is the most difficult retainer among the wealthy families of the country.

Relying on this "traditional" value can envelop a small number of people, but it will eventually be run over by the wheel of history. There is no doubt that a flat social structure will be more powerful than a pyramid of layers of exploitation.

Therefore, Matsuura Sungoro has died, and even the family name has become history.

And what about the ship's more and more Jingzhi?

The assault on Shoda Castle lasted for an hour, and Suga and his followers paid a total of 400 lives to draw the attention of the defenders to the city walls, when Nozaki Uchizosuke, who was familiar with the terrain, walked through the valley path with a few elite disguises, infiltrated the city with the slings he had left behind, burned down the granaries and ammunition depots, and then took advantage of the chaos to retreat.

After that, maybe there will be three or five days' rations, and if you count the bark and grass roots, it may theoretically be enough to last ten and a half days.

But in fact, it definitely didn't last until then.

The number of elite troops in the city was less than 500 men, and they had already suffered heavy losses in the fierce battle. All that remains is an inferior feudal army, with no gains such as nationalism, revolutionary ideals, or religious fanaticism. The flames of the warehouse cannot be hidden, and the panic and despair of running out of ammunition and food will spread like an acute infectious disease, devouring all morale and fighting spirit.

According to Suga's words, "If that guy doesn't take the initiative to go out of the city tonight, the others will tie him up tomorrow morning and surrender against the water!" ”

His performance on the battlefield earned him a certain amount of power, and the tie took it to his credit, and he prepared for the night battle.

After the moon rose, the ship in the city Yue Jingzhi personally led the assault as expected. His movements were fairly clean, but he still hit an iron plate. Waiting for him was a strong fence and a troop of nearly 3,000 Saga mercenaries, including 500 iron cannons.

The counterattack army, which was desperately making a last-ditch fight, only held out in front of the front line for less than half an hour before fleeing one after another, and the commander could not hold back the bullet at all. Like a hungry wolf driving away a flock, the generals of the Pingshou army happily swung their swords and slaughtered as easily as harvesting rice in a paddy field.

Eventually, hundreds of Awaji corpses were left on the ground, but unfortunately due to poor visibility, they were not all encircled and destroyed, and the enemy leaders were able to flee back into the castle.

But that doesn't matter anymore. When they chased to the bottom of the city, there were already two wealthy families hanging white flags, shouting "willing to surrender", and offering the side gate and two arrow oars to the flat family, and then the attackers poured in like a tide, and the embankment collapsed, and it could no longer be hidden.

It took more than 40 days for Hirate Honshu to clear all the opposition forces on Awaji Island, with a total of less than 1,000 casualties, but he incorporated more than 4,000 people from Ataka Nobuyasu and Suga Dacho, and the strategic goal of "attacking Awaji and securing sea transportation" can be regarded as complete.

……

"All the property in Zhuangtian City, except for documents, classics, military flags, horse seals, iron cannons, and sufficiency, are all allowed to be taken by themselves, and they will not be investigated afterwards."

"All the daughters and children in the city, except for the two newcomers, will be rewarded to the meritorious soldiers."

"The Funakoshi and Tamura clans and their retainers were all beheaded, and their bodies were hung for seven days. The rest were punished with the first evil, confiscated their territories, and stripped off their names. ”

Pingshou sat on the horse with a grim face, bowing his head and playing with the military equipment in his hand. Governor Konishi read out the harsh and cruel plan as a side.

Most of the soldiers cheered enthusiastically, for the order was in effect an open encouragement of plunder. Zhuangtian City is not only the city where the Funakoshi family has lived for many years, but also gathers the property of several other wealthy families to press the bottom of the box, which is very valuable for looting. Women and young children are also good things, whether they are caught and eaten for themselves, or brought to Kaimachi to be sold, they can play a good role in relieving the fatigue of the battlefield.

Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied with this, Sasa Narumasa and Kawada Nagajin are all frowning and unhappy, and did not participate in this ugly carnival, but they are also very wise not to express their objections to the above.

The only one who came to advise was Nobuyasu Ataka. He had said politically incorrect things several times in just a few days, but he didn't know it. Tie Tsuyosu didn't care at all, and also made Keiji marry him, which made Antaku Nobuyasu feel even more valued.

Therefore, he made a gesture of worrying about the country and the people, and compassion for the heavens and people, and said angrily: "Lord Prisoner! Those who rebel against you have learned their lesson, so why bother to kill again? Once the seeds of hatred are planted, they will never be removed and will take root in the future. The people of Awaji Province have been working hard enough, and they can't bear to see further turmoil! ”

In just one sentence, he thought he was right. But in fact, there are several minor taboos.

Fortunately, Hisho Honxiu had no intention of worrying about this rectal "second generation of the sea", but Wen Yan changed the topic: "Seeing that the light road has been settled, what are your plans for the future?" ”

The meaning of this sentence is to make specific arrangements for the house.

Hearing such a big event, he naturally couldn't care about others, Anzhai Nobuyasu hesitated for a moment, but still felt that the treatment of his family was more important, and gave up the plan to "do justice".

So he bowed and said righteously: "The contemptible people used to fight with Miyoshi for many years, and they can be regarded as criminal ministers, and they don't dare to have any delusions, and they all depend on the Gongfang and Oda Danzheng to deal with." ”

When the words landed, even the head of Konishi Yuki, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but pout.

The problem with this statement is that there are too many.

What does it mean to be "a sinner"? The attitude of confessing sin is too disrespectful, right?

The question of who is in front and who is behind is also a question worth considering in private.

And he only talked about these two people in the words, and did not mention Tieshou Tsuei at all, as if he regarded the dignified supervisor as a herald.

Is...... The heir of the Anzhai family seems to be on the same level as the random 500 stone people of Hequan Country.

However, if it was really a 500-stone countryman, as long as there was the slightest disrespect anywhere, Fan Xiu would have already brushed his sleeves away.

But the heirs of the Anzhai family will not be treated like this.

Hijo didn't show any displeasure, nodded, and responded: "It's really good to have such a heart." I've already reported to Oda Danmasa, saying that the situation in Awaji still depends on you to maintain it, and those water armies in Izumi also need more guidance. ”

"Ahh Antaku Nobuyasu was overjoyed and kowtowed.

This actually made him the general of the navy of the flat family, commanding all the ships on both sides of the strait, and his power is really not small. Considering that his surrender did not go well, and that two-thirds of the people on the island could not be controlled, such treatment can be considered a special honor.

An Zhai Xinkang firmly believes that Tieshou is really a rare "Bole" in the world, who can see his talent, and this kindness should be repaid.

"But-" Fan Xiu suddenly frowned again, "Izumi's Tamawa Shinbei and the others have also made war exploits, so they may not be very convincing if they belong to you......"

After hearing this, Nobuyasu Ataka also felt that this problem did exist. But he firmly said: "I will redouble my efforts to gain the trust of everyone." ”

"Uh-huh, that's fine." Fan Xiu seemed to be moved by this gesture, and the worry in his eyebrows disappeared, but he just had a flash of inspiration, and added: "Why don't you give you 2,000 stones in Hequan and seal it, and move the city over?" It's also convenient to build relationships with new colleagues! ”

This sounds very reasonable, and there are two thousand stones to seal, let alone refuse. Nobuyasu replied without hesitation: "Thank you, Lord Supervisor, for your generous kindness!" Follow the instructions below. ”

After getting up, he seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly asked tentatively: "By the way, I don't know ...... Suga Dachang."

"Don't worry!" Fan Xiu smiled and waved his hand, "I have other arrangements for him, and I won't let the two of you meet often and cause embarrassment." ”
