The teachings of Zhaolian Temple were relieved to see that someone had finally followed their words, and he also felt very glad that he had come to incite before the harvest season, and if it dragged on for a few more months, after the peasants had paid the tax according to the ten taxes, then I am afraid that no one would respond even if they had worn out their mouths.

Seeing that the time had come, the teachings of Lianzhao Temple first habitually looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Since the Gaoshan Clan Sect will not let you live, but it is better to unite to overthrow him, what is the use of such an unkind and unrighteous leader for him, of course, you alone will not work, it is better to go back and inform the township, everyone unites, as long as the Gaoshan Clan Sect is overthrown, this land is not yours."

This seat is just passing by here, God has a good life, and this seat does not want to see you suffer, so I will say this translation. ”

"The High Mountain Hall will never do this, don't believe his words!" The farmer who defended the Takayama clan shouted.

It didn't matter what he shouted, the people in the tavern all gathered around as the words fell.

And the little merchant who quarreled with him just now has been wandering around for many years, although he is not well-informed, but he also has some knowledge, from the words of this monk, he can guess that the other party must be trying to be unfavorable to Lord Takayama, if it was before, he would not care about such a nosy, he will only leave silently.

But now it was different, Takayama not only reduced the taxes of the peasants, but also built a town as large as the Kaikai outside Takayama Castle, and abolished such guilds, reduced taxes, encouraged free trade, and most importantly, provided free merchants to shops, whoever went to the shop first was whoever owned, and he didn't believe such a good thing at first, but two days ago, a samurai of the Takayama family came here to recruit craftsmen, and he said these words from the mouths of those craftsmen. There can also be fakes.

And now there are notices in each village to recruit people, and Takayama Ashigaru is in charge of explaining, and if a merchant asks them in the past, they will explain in detail, so that it will be explained. The merchant had no intention of leaving, his greatest wish was to have a shop of his own, and as long as he kept an eye on himself, this wish would soon come true.

And now this monk actually wants to incite the people to overthrow the high mountain hall, once he succeeds, won't his own wish be in vain, even if it is for himself. and expose him too.

However, the merchant was a very shrewd person, and although there was only a long-handled knife on the table where the monk was seated, he believed that even if they had no weapons, as long as they were captured, then the other party had countless ways to kill him, so he quietly retreated out of the crowd of onlookers.

At this time, the peasant who admired the Gaoshan clan very much was arguing with the monk, the peasant was a peasant after all, and the words that came out were always a few words. It was very boring, but the monk was so rambling that there was no repetition of what he said. If it had been placed elsewhere, the onlookers would have listened to the monk's words, and perhaps they would have made trouble in Matsukura Castle right now, and although the people here did not object, it could be seen from their eyes that they did not agree very much, and some even showed disgust.

At this moment, all the people in the tavern have gathered around, and even those who were gambling just now have stopped and come to watch, if you count carefully. There were fifty or sixty of them. And just as everyone was listening intently to the two arguing, they only heard the merchant shouting: "These three people are spies, they want to murder the high mountain hall, everyone go up together, we can't let them escape!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and the two monks present kept vigilant. So when the merchant shouted, they stood up suddenly, and one of them raised his long-handled knife, trying to squeeze through the crowd and kill the man who had identified him.

The merchant was shrewd, and he had expected the other party to behave like this, so as soon as he had finished his shout, he turned and ran in the direction of the tavern gate, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.

At this moment, the teachings of Zhaolian Temple were in a hurry, if the two people who came with him were not so reckless, he could still justify, but their move, even if they wanted to explain, it was impossible, the most important thing for him now was to run quickly, only to see him raise his fist to knock down the person in front of him, and wanted to escape.

In this era, the courage of civilians is very small, but under the anesthesia of alcohol, coupled with the kindness of the Gaoshan clan, these people did not flinch, especially the villager who worshiped the Gaoshan clan, I don't know where he got the courage from, I saw him run two steps sharply, and rushed towards the Zhaolian Temple teachings that were about to rush out of the crowd.

Even if the teachings of Terurinji Temple were to pay attention to his back, but the peasant came too fast to deal with it, and he was knocked to the ground after hearing a "bang", the monk was not a samurai after all, if it was a samurai, even if they lent them a gut, they would not dare to attack the samurai.

And if the monks are replaced, especially these powerless wandering monks, their scruples will be much smaller.

So when the peasant made a move, they stopped watching and all of them fought, and although they had outnumbered the other unarmed monk, there was nothing they could do about the monk with the sword.

It would have been possible for him to escape at this time, but not only did he not escape, but he also wanted to kill the civilians present and rescue the two of them.

In his eyes, these civilians who don't know martial arts are no different from Lou Ant, and they have weapons in their hands, not to mention that the other party only has dozens of people, even if there are hundreds of people, with his own martial arts, he is confident that he can rescue the three of them.

So when he was about to run to the door, he raised his knife again, intending to turn over and kill back.

A Takayama ninja on the beam of the tavern has been observing here for a long time, if he just moves his fists below, he won't care, after all, the lord has his life first, if he can not interfere, he will not interfere, he is also happy to watch the excitement on the sidelines, elite monks can be defeated by farmers, such a good show is rare, so he has no intention of showing up just now.

But now it's different, the other party wants to kill the people, he can't ignore it, otherwise, if there are casualties because of his inaction, then the lord will not spare himself, the civilians are nothing in the eyes of other lords, but they have a very important position in the hearts of the lord.

Thinking of this, I saw that he put his hands into his arms, took out a shuriken, and after aiming slightly, he raised his hand and shot at the monk who was holding a childish knife, only to hear a "poof", the shuriken entered from the back of his head, obviously the monk has no possibility of survival.

He fell to the ground in response, and the scene immediately began to be chaotic, fighting was nothing to civilians, but it was not something they could afford to kill people, and in the chaos, the ninja also took the opportunity to leave the tavern.

"Don't panic, everyone, they are spies, and the mountain hall will definitely not blame us. Now let's take these three people to Matsukura Castle and hand them over to the samurai master. ”

The tavern owner didn't want his small shop to be so messy anymore, the current business had been affected, and if it continued, this business would not be done, so he just listened to him say quickly.

In Matsukura Castle, the merchant who had seen through the purpose of the monks just now was now in front of Katsusuke Tanaka, and after he escaped, he went straight here to ventilate the news, and Tanaka Katsusuke had already known about it, and now that there was a mess, he could no longer sit idly by, but when he was about to lead the army to capture the sharp details, he listened to the report of his subordinates, saying that the sharp minutes had been taken by the countrymen, and he couldn't help but be happy, not only personally came forward to appease, but also left the businessman who reported the news and the farmer who was the first to do it, waiting for the lord's commendation.

And the monks who went to the villages to incite rebellion did not achieve much success, although the peasants felt that what they said had some truth, but when the rebellion was mentioned, no one echoed it, and the high mountain hall did not oppress itself, why did they want to overthrow him? As for whether the Takayama family will be like the monks say, they will only know in a few months, and even if they want to rebel, they will have to wait until then.

So the monks had no choice but to leave and return to Kaga to report to the abbot, but they were much luckier than according to the teachings of Renji, at least they saved their lives for the time being.

The Takayama clan and its troops are resting in the middle tower castle, and this castle is not unimportant to the Takayama clan as a castle connected to Hida.

However, such an important city, but because he is in the mountains, so it has long been forgotten by the Takeda family, as soon as the Takayama army arrived, the fifty defenders in the city did not dare to resist at all, and they couldn't run, so they immediately chose to surrender.

As for the Joyo samurai, they had long since fled without a trace when the Takayama Army appeared.

Shinano and Hida are bordered by high mountains, which are also part of the Hida Mountains, and ten miles to the east is the Matsumoto Plain, and the land begins to fertle.

If you only conquer 20,000 or 30,000 koku of land, then you will have no chance with this Matsumoto Plain. The clan sect has nothing to give up on this, as long as he can hold the Hida Mountain Range in his hands, then as soon as his strength is enough, he can kill from the mountains at any time, and the Takeda family wants to attack, but it is not so easy.

At the same time as the army was resting, the strength of the border between Shinano and Hida had been explored, because the border was in the high mountains, and the stone height was too small, so in addition to the Zhongta City that had been captured by himself, there were only three cities, and there were more than two hundred defenders in the city, and only a few dozen, the clan did not want to waste more time in front of these small cities, so after receiving the information, he immediately divided the ninja army into three and launched an attack on the three cities at the same time.

Within five days, the remaining three castles on the border had been captured by the Takayama clan, and control of the border between Hida and Shinano was firmly held by the clan......)
