Chapter 227: The Monk Who Did Evil
"Nope! Matsunaga-sama... What do you mean? Hosokawa Nobumoto subconsciously resisted, but then asked to redeem the topic.
"It is so, that the sites of the rebellion are too scattered, spanning four sub-kingdoms. If we combine our forces to defeat them one by one, it will take too long, and the losses in the territory will increase. Matsunaga Shu began to state the pros and cons, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu on the side also nodded in agreement, he and Matsunaga Shu were only subordinate to the Oda family, and they belonged to semi-independent daimyo, so they naturally thought more about their own territory.
"Therefore, I think that the troops should be divided into three ways, Miyoshi-sama is responsible for the counterinsurgency of Honkohan Province, Youjing-sama is responsible for the counterinsurgency of Izumi Province, and I am responsible for the counterinsurgency of Yamato Province. Then our three-way army converged at Koyasan in Kii Province to destroy the last rebel force. "Matsunaga Shu also writes and draws on the sand table, and thinks this thing is really useful, so he will make one himself when he goes back.
"Do anyone else have any opinions?" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked up left and right, and they all agreed, which did make sense.
"Okay, then divide the troops into three routes, and finally surround Koyasan and destroy the rebels!" Hosokawa Nobumoto slapped his hand heavily on the sand table, with the domineering spirit of destroying it in one fell swoop.
Early the next morning, the Hosokawa coalition army divided into three routes and marched towards their respective targets, and Hosokawa Nobumoto's army still had more than 4,000 people.
A human tragedy is unfolding in the Kasoso of Izumi Province, a group of tens of thousands of thugs from Tennoji Temple, shouting slogans and stabbing their weapons into the bellies of the townspeople.
"What do you want! We will give you food and money, and I beg you not to kill, and I beg you. An old man from the village pleaded with the mob.
"you! Old stuff! We have been instructed by the Lord to send you heretics underground for introspection! The presiding officer of Tennoji kicked the old man away, looking at the woman behind him with a lewd look in his eyes.
"But... Hey... If you dedicate the girl behind you to the Buddha... Hey... I can spare your life. ”
"Don't... Don't hurt my granddaughter, she's young... Please don't do this..."The old man hurriedly protected the girl behind him, who was his only relative, her parents had been killed during the last invasion of the Awa Miyoshi army.
"Oh? Granddaughter? Hey... Hey... I like it**... What a godsend! Hahahaha! Buddha bless! Hahaha! Tennoji laughed hideously, beckoned left and right to come forward and grab the girl.
"Don't! No! Grandfather! Grandfather! Help me! Help me! The girl struggled desperately, but was inevitably dragged into the house by the monks.
"My lord! O Lord! I am willing to believe in the Sect! Willing to believe in the Sect! Willing to give away all the valuable things in my house! I just ask you to spare my granddaughter! Woooooo The old man burst into tears, hugging the thigh of Tennoji Xianzhao and begging bitterly.
"Do you want to believe in my Buddha?"
"I believe it! I believe it! ”
"Haha! If you believe it, you need to give it to the Buddha first, and pay for the offerings that you believe in. ”
"Offerings? What offerings? You can do whatever you want! Either way! When the old man heard that there was still hope, he agreed regardless of it.
"Haha! To worship is to let your granddaughter serve this seat, hahaha! Let's go! Oops, old man! "Tennoji Xianzhao kicked again, and directly kicked the old man on his back.
"Hey, hey, hey... The Little Beauty... The main seat is coming..."Tennoji Xianzhao couldn't wait to enter the room, waved his hand and drank away the monks in the room.
"Don't... No... The girl stepped back desperately, trembling in the corner of the house.
"Don't worry, this seat will take care of you, come on! Hahaha! "Tennoji shows a hungry tiger grabbing the girl, tearing her clothes wantonly, and letting out lewd laughter...
"Damn! Damn, you guys! I'm fighting with you! The old man who woke up, heard the screams of his granddaughter in the house, and roared and pounced on the monks who were watching the excitement.
"you!" The monk raised his sword and slashed at the old man's chest.
"Ahh With a scream, the old man couldn't dodge and was killed on the spot.
This scene is not an isolated one, the same scene is played out throughout the Xiangzhuang. Most of the rebels were honest peasants who had just laid down their hoes, and they were all demons now, and they were all demons under the leadership of the monks.
Two days later, Hosokawa Nobumoto led his army to Xiangzhuang and looked at the village full of messes and sorrows, which was a crime committed by a smashing army.
"My lord! It has been clearly inquired that the rebels have about 10,000 people, including about 2,000 monks, and the rest are peasants who are making trouble. They are now heading south along Osaka Bay, plundering Kasho, Iehara, Ishida, and Kumida, and are now heading to their home's Jokai Castle area. "Hattori Masaaki bowed his head to report the information on the battle situation.
"What a coaxing peasant! It's all thugs! It's a traitor! Pass the order! Chase the rebels for me! Be sure to eliminate them as soon as possible to avoid further losses! "Hosokawa Nobumoto now hates Ichizo Sect and these hypocritical false monks.
"Yes!" The military order is like a mountain, and as soon as the peak of the Hosokawa coalition army turns, he chases after the footprints left by the army.
"Hahaha! Burn! Kill! Rob! "The tragedy of Kasoso is being recreated in Morimura in Minamiwazumi.
"Newspaper... We found that the Hosokawa army was heading towards us. ”
"Haha! Good! It's finally here, hurry up and organize a military gathering and prepare to attack! Tennoji showed a hideous wild smile, as if he was very confident that he could defeat the Hosokawa army.
"All assembled! Gather! Don't t rob it! You! Where to! Come and assemble! "A group of soldiers gathered in a disorderly manner, and some people were still burning and looting in the village.
"My lord! Morimura in front has found the enemy, and now they are still in a state of chaos, do you want to launch a surprise attack now? Honda Masanobu followed behind Hosokawa Nobumoto and rode forward.
"Hmmm! Command..."
"My lord! Lord! Hosokawa Nobumoto was just about to give an order when he was interrupted, and when he looked back, it was Hattori Masaaki running over in a hurry.
"What's going on?" Hosokawa Nobumoto stopped and waited for Hattori Masaaki.
"My lord! Honganji sent 10,000 troops and was secretly following behind us. ”
"What! Is the message accurate? Honda Masashi heard this and hurriedly asked.
"It's true, I went to investigate it myself, although it is far away from us, but so many people want to hide it all, it is impossible."
"So... It's the praying mantis catching cicadas and the yellow finch behind. Honda Masanobu quickly understood.
"Herald! The whole army turned! He went to Dinghai Castle to hold on, and ordered Matsunaga Hideki and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to come for reinforcements as soon as the rebellion was put down. Hosokawa Nobumoto gave the order decisively, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that this battle was probably far from being as simple as it seemed. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
