In the fifth year of Eiroku, Sakai Masakin, the lord of Nishio Castle, a retainer of the Matsudaira family, ignored the privilege of "guarding the envoy and not entering" for a hundred years, and rushed into the Honshoji Temple of the Pure Land Shinshu with his soldiers, captured a group of monks who "acted lawlessly", and openly corrected them at the gate of the temple in front of the monks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis move kicked off the confrontation between lords and religions.

The so-called "guardian inaccessibility" privilege, in a nutshell, refers to the power of the temple to maintain an independent position in the judicial, administrative, and economic spheres, and to be directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, without being subject to the control of the local daimyos. Since the Onin War, the shogunate has declined, and the so-called jurisdiction has naturally become an empty word, and the monks of the temple shrine who have this privilege have become an undoubted force with the samurai regime. This, of course, is intolerable to the samurai.

Honshoji Temple is one of the three largest Ichijo temple shrines in Mikawa today, and has been preaching locally for hundreds of years, and its roots are deeper than those of the Matsudaira family. In order to warn the lord, the Master of the Empty Oath immediately called a meeting of disciples. Within a few days, tens of thousands of people responded.

This extraordinary power only made the Matsudaira family of Okazaki Castle more and more hostile. So he took advantage of the gathering of the disciples at the temple, and ordered his retainers to raid the two unprepared Shanggu Temple and Katsukuji Temple, and built a strong wooden fence to monitor it.

As a result, Kaminomiya Temple was attacked by the retainer Suganuma Seaki, a retainer of the Matsudaira family, and a large amount of supplies were taken, the building was burned, and many monks and believers were killed on the spot. However, Katsukuji Temple received the news from a retainer of the Matsudaira family who believed in the Honkozong sect, and preemptively launched a defense, causing the other party to return in vain.

Under the cane of open fire, the contradictions between the two sides can no longer be concealed. The general acting officer of the Mikawa Sect, the tenth generation of the Honshoji Temple, the grandson of the Honganji Renru, was elected as the nominal leader, and the prestige of his grandfather was used to launch the inscription, and the monks of the Shanggu Temple and the Katsukuji Temple echoed, and the three places launched a campaign at the same time, and the disciples flocked to the front, and the number of people exceeded 10,000 on the first day. Suganuma was demolished in half a day next to the temple next to Kaminomiya Temple.

At the same time, Sakurai, Okusa, Kira, Arakawa and other wealthy clans who had previously expressed obedience to Matsudaira led their troops to join the Ichichi army as if they had already been prepared.

The number of disciples expanded to 20,000 or 30,000 within half a month, but only about one-tenth of them were really combative. As for the defeated men who have gathered, they are nothing more than a rabble. Therefore, Matsudaira Motoyasu did not succumb to the idea of peace or even asking for help, but decisively mobilized his retainers and prepared to face the battle, confident that with the three thousand loyal dogs under his command, it was enough to win the battle.

The next development was the key to the real danger that led to the Matsudaira clan.

After Matsudaira Motoyasu passed on his determination to fight resolutely with the same attitude, the retainers did not show a positive response as in the past, but instead stood on the opposite side - Sakai Tadashi, a retainer with a considerable number of troops, and Kiyoshi Naito; More than three generations of samurai Kato Kyoaki and Ina Tadashi rebelled; Motoyasu's relied on the brave generals Beehouse Sadaji and Watanabe Moritsuna rebelled; Natsume Yoshinobu, who has been loyal for many years and is regarded as a close minister, has rebelled......

Ten years ago, there were as many as 115 official samurai with their names signed on the writ of the disciples of Honshoji Temple, and Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was still a hostage at Sunpu Castle at the time, and his close retainers may not have been aware of this.

The military service system of the Matsudaira family collapsed in an instant, and except for the few hundred garrisons of Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Motoyasu was no longer able to command anyone. The disciples surrounded Okazaki Castle, and the water was impassable, and the ninjas could not enter or leave, and they could not even send a signal for help to Oda.

At such a critical juncture, it is really an inconspicuous thing that a few lower-class believers called Honda are missing from the army, or that there is no eagle smith in Okazaki Castle.

……

Hanging City.

The summer is scorching, the fire is scorching, and even the mood is beginning to be irritable. Soldiers outside the city who used bamboo poles as guns to simulate battles were increasingly injured by accidental injuries due to excessive force. Hirate had to instruct Hattori and Hirano to reduce the amount of training appropriately.

At this time, being able to live in the city and enjoy the tea and cool breeze is naturally the treatment only of high-level samurai.

The newly joined Nakamura father and son showed a pretty good level of espionage, and every three or four days they were able to bring back news of Mikawa.

"It's not so much a constant blow, but a general outbreak of Mikawa's anti-Matsudaira forces." Fan Xiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Honda Masanobu, who knelt down and sat down, showed a gesture of joy and sincerity, and bowed back: "Sure enough, as you said, Ichijozong was just used as a tool to kill people with a knife. ”

"To your knowledge, which of these true believers are there?" Fan Xiu continued to ask. The man in front of him is currently like a freshly mined ore, with good qualifications but lack polish, and needs to be repeatedly inspired before it can be used as a weapon - but it may also become a double-edged sword in the future.

"Kira, Arakawa, Sakurai, and Okusa have succumbed to Matsudaira as a last resort in recent years, and naturally hold a grudge, and now they are just taking advantage of the fire to rob, and they are definitely not believers."

This is something that anyone with a little discerning can see.

Honhide then asked, "What about the rebels within the Matsudaira family?" ”

Honda Masanobu began to frown and think.

"Natsume, Kato, and Naito, these people, who have often been seen in the dojo for more than ten years, are probably true believers."

"Everyone else has different intentions?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Then you can explain them to me one by one."

Fan Xiu asked with an attitude of teaching examination.

"Yes." Honda Masashi bowed, "Sakai Tadashi's faction has been dissatisfied with the Matsudaira family for a long time, and they have only joined the sect in recent years, so they are naturally suspicious. ”

"Why are they dissatisfied?"

"When the Imagawa family occupied Mikawa, Sakai and Matsudaira were both Imagawa vassals, and there was no strict distinction between upper and lower, but now they are regarded as retainers, so they are not convinced."

This answer is quite close to Fanxiu's own guess.

"There are still many samurai families who have been loyal to the Matsudaira clan for generations?"

"Those courtiers...... Probably because it can't be reused. Honda's tone was uncertain.

"Not reusable?"

"Yes. When His Royal Highness Matsudaira Motoyasu (Matsudaira Motoyasu) was a hostage in Sunfu, those who accompanied him were taken seriously. Sakai and Ishikawa were directly assigned as family elders, while those who remained in Mikawa were excluded from the decision-making circle. ”

Hearing this, Pingshou Fan Xiu shook his head lightly and said, "I'm afraid this is not a unilateral responsibility. ”

"This ...... Your Highness's words are profound, please forgive me for being stupid. ”

"Those who accompanied His Highness the Tibetan Zuo to the Three Rivers were naturally more loyal to the sovereign, but what was the attitude of the retainers who stayed behind?"

Honda Masanosin suddenly realized.

"What you say is true! The samurai of the lineage, relying on their seniority, are most likely to have a skeptical attitude towards the new lord, so it is naturally difficult to be reused. ”

"Is there anything else?"

"The other thing may be that the rewards and punishments are unfair."

"Unfair rewards and punishments?" Fan Xiu is starting to get a little interested, and there are still these things in the Matsudaira family?

"yes. The Bee House is a famous and brave man in Mikawa recently. At the beginning of the year, the battle of Yoshida Castle won the head of the enemy's general, causing the Imagawa army to collapse without a fight. However, after the war, His Royal Highness the Tibetan Zuo praised him as a 'half-soldier with a red spear' and gave him a letter of appreciation, but the land he received was the same as those flags that had no merit. ”

When he heard this, he suddenly remembered the words "to conquer His Majesty with a tricky way". On the one hand, they expect their retainers to be loyal to them, and on the other hand, they are worried that the local power will be strong, so they try to use all kinds of other means to appease them, and leave the actual benefits to their cronies, which is a trick.

"In addition, there are probably people who miss the Imagawa family. Although the people of Suruga were an alien force, they were ...... by the means of Daisuke Jibe (Yoshimoto Imagawa)"

Fan Xiu listened quietly, and suddenly asked again:

"I heard that His Royal Highness Matsudaira Tibetan has always been a sophistical emperor, what do you mean by this?"

This is not only a test of teaching, but also a confirmation of one's own conjecture.

"Sophistication......" Honda Masanobu pondered this word repeatedly, and then his expression changed again, "Your Highness, these two words are really precise." Apparently he thinks this is a conclusion that Fan Xiu has come to himself, and not something "heard".

"What's the explanation?" Naturally, Fan Xiu will not have the mind to explain.

"His Royal Highness Tibetan, he treats anyone with a pleasant face, even if he is offended, he will not be severely punished."

"This is the behavior of Daisuke Imagawa Jibe!"

"The villain has never admired the demeanor of Daisuke Jibe. It's just that I'm a lot of rough warriors in Sanhe, and few elegant and elegant inkmen, and this demeanor is only regarded as hypocrisy and kept away. ”

Honda Masanobu replied calmly, without casually responding.

It is true that scholars tend to disdain vulgar and unliterate people, but soldiers from military backgrounds may also dislike literate people. Just like Guan Yunchang's "good soldier and light doctor".

Fan Xiu bowed her head softly and was silent.

"Your Highness,......" Honda Masanobu asked cautiously, "At present, the Matsudaira clan can be said to be in danger, and if the disciples do the law and let the samurai on both sides lose, it may be ......."

Hearing this, Fan Xiu didn't notice it, and turned to look straight down.

"Do you want to go back to the festival now?"

"Don't dare, just ......"

"The Matsudaira family will suffer a lot of losses, but they can survive, although those opposition forces will suffer a fatal blow, but they can still go underground and continue, only the Tsuyo Sect, after this battle, will no longer appear in Mikawa."

The words were so convincing that Honda Masanosin shuddered all over his body.

"Your Highness......"

"In the multi-sided scuffle, the most seriously injured person is naturally the one who rushes to the front. Once the disciples are mobilized, they cannot be contained. Even the Venerable Master of Mikawa, the Acting Governor of Mikawa, and even the Venerable Master of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, could not stop them. If you want to preserve the power of the Sect as much as possible, it is best to persuade those who are still relatively calm to leave the battlefield as soon as possible. ”

Honda Masanobu fell to his knees and nodded stiffly. It didn't take long for him to leave, hoping to persuade some people to come.

Now it seems that he is a very devout believer, and he does his best to repay the nurturing kindness of the Pure Land Shinshu. (PS: In the early years of the Edo shogunate, Honda Masanshin, who was originally a disciple of the Ichikozong sect, designed and created the division of Honganji.) ）

Fanxiu sighed for a while and decided to go out to breathe.

Then I saw that in front of Yashiki, Honda Masanobu's younger brother was being drilled by Hattori Koheita. Honda Sanya Saemon is heavy.,It's a big difference from his brother.,It's a simple-minded guy.,But he's born like a tiger.,It's like a fierce general.。 Since the long remark of Fan Xiu the day before yesterday, he had seven or eight points of belief, coupled with the attitude of his father and brother, so he became more and more convinced that Mikawa had always been used by others and should stay out of the matter.

"What about this person?" Tanahide approached Hattori and asked.

"Your Highness! As long as Sanmizuo has a few years of training, he will definitely be a rare fierce general in the world! Hattori Koheita seemed very excited.

"That's ...... How are you compared to back then? ”

"Far better."

Fan Xiu nodded lightly and called to the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy:

"Sanmizuo!"

"Your Highness!"

"Would you like to learn gunsmithing with Koheita as a teacher? After leaving the school, he can be listed as my retainer. ”

"It's an honor for a villain to follow the Taruto Warden who defeated the Imagawa family!"

"Imagawa? Could it be that you are hostile to them? ”

"yes, those Suruga people have been bullying us Mikawa people for years!"

(PS: Honda Masashige, the fourth brother of Masanobu, was once praised by Nobunaga as "Kaido Ichi's Warrior")

……

So he told them to train with peace of mind, took Asano Nagayoshi as an entourage, and rushed to Kiyoshu Castle. and let Ii Naotora serve as the chief of the guard - anyone can serve as a guard, but under the scorching sun, the heroic Ji samurai is obviously much more pleasing to the eye than men.

"Your Highness, do you want to ask for help from Mikawa?"

Jing Yi Naohu asked, although his expression was still calm, but Fan Xiu heard a little eager to try - it seemed that he wanted to fight?

"Almost."

Fan Xiu replied casually.

There are only two options for this, so how can we say "almost"? Warrior Ji looked confused, but he didn't dare to ask.

However, the tie who was in a good mood took the initiative to explain:

"After all, as the lord of the eastern border, I have learned the information, and it is reasonable that I must go here, but the above may not really send reinforcements."

"Aren't the Matsudaira family allies of Oda?"

This Ji samurai, who has good combat effectiveness, obviously lacks political acumen.

"Yes, allies who have signed the Covenant for less than a year."

"However, it is rumored that His Royal Highness Matsudaira Tibetan Sa, and Oda Daiden are childhood friends......"

Fan Xiu smiled lightly, but there was no joy on his face, and replied with his back to her:

"When Matsudaira belonged to Imagawa, it was said that His Royal Highness the Tibetan Saku and Imagawa Daifuen were the same father and son. Now that the wind has changed, it is immediately said that the Tibetan Sakuro has been bullied in Suruga, and there are rumors that he and Owari Mamoru are childhood friends...... Do you get the idea? ”

"His Royal Highness's meaning is that the Matsudaira family is deliberately building momentum......" The woman seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"Do you have a good impression of the Matsudaira family?" Fan Xiuqi said.

"Back then......" Samurai Ji saw that there was no different color in the ho-sui, so he replied, "Three rivers and two rivers, and the only one who is willing to accept the Ii clan is Matsudaira...... However, Master Torazai Soyi said that Matsudaira was too busy to take care of himself and could not be trusted, and it seemed that what the master said was true. ”

Hearing this, Pingshou Fanxiu shook his head again and again.

"Your Highness......"

"Why did you Jing Yi suffer?"

"It was because someone slandered me that I was attacked by Imagawa."

"What is slander?"

"It's said that Ii and Matsudaira are secretly in communication...... Is it ......?"

"The wind comes from the ground, and the words come to the nest." Fan Xiu first quoted an allusion, "It may not be the other way around!" If there is still a heart of the Enoe after Matsudaira captures Mikawa, the Ii clan is a great enemy. ”

Jing Yi Zhihu lowered his head, clenched the scabbard tightly with both hands, bit his lip, and did not say a word, the previous posture of the strong woman disappeared, leaving only a dazed state.

But this delicate look......

Fan Xiu suddenly thought of a question: If she is a man, am I still in the mood to explain in such detail?

"Your Highness."

Asano Nagayoshi, who was beside him, suddenly came up and whispered in his ear.

"What's the matter?"

"It's my sister......"

"Ning Ning?"

"My sister is sixteen years old this year...... Your Highness...... That ......"

Asano Nagayoshi seemed to say this on purpose in front of Naotora Ii, but the latter was distracted and didn't notice him.

Fan Xiu only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at him, didn't say anything, just went straight forward.

Asano hurriedly followed behind to plead guilty, but he couldn't get a response.

However, if a sixteen-year-old woman is not yet married, she is indeed considered an older young woman in this era.

……

Before the construction of Komakiyama Castle is completed, there will be no major moves on the northern front for the time being, and most of the troops in Owari are idle and ready to be recruited at any time. It stands to reason that there is enough power to rescue the Matsudaira family.

However, in troubled times, unreasonable things also happen repeatedly.

After listening to the report, Oda Nobunaga didn't say a word for a long time, but Murai Sadakatsu, who was behind him, said that a lot of labor had been used to build the city this year, and it was not appropriate to requisition the people.

Nobunaga listened, noncommittal.

Heite Honhide was hinted at by Murai's gaze and knew it well, so he analyzed that although the people were powerful, they were not good at attacking the city, and the Okazaki Castle of the Matsudaira family would not be harmed. For the sake of today's plan, we should wait for the enemy to get tired, and then attack from inside and outside, and attack it; if reinforcements are sent at this time, it will be a field battle with a large number of people, which is not conducive to the overall situation. If the Matsudaira family went out of the city in order to echo the reinforcements, it would hurt them even more.

This remark is high-sounding, and the actual meaning is: Now that the morale of the people is high, we might as well watch the fire from the other side first, wait for the high walls of the Matsudaira family to wear out the disciples' desire to fight, and then send troops to pick up the bargain.

Changing the priority of the discourse and blurring the key points will become a reasonable, well-founded and well-organized discourse.

Oda Nobunaga was only happy at this time, and ordered Hirate Honhide to mobilize the troops of Aichi and Chita counties and "always be ready" to support.

When the wealthy families of these two counties attacked in Imagawa, many people made wall grass, and these wall grasses have not been completely uprooted at present. However, this may not be the case based on his previous actions......

Fan Xiu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't understand it, so it seemed that he had to just visit Niwa Nagahide to see what he understood.

PS: It seems that everyone doesn't like women who have too much ink to throw themselves into the arms of supporting roles - so the scene of Oda City, which is expected to be good, should it be deleted? This woman is also very legendary, and it would be a pity if she didn't write it at all......
