Chapter 627: 100,000 (3)
The city was besieged, and food and water became increasingly scarce, but in this case, the believers did not riot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info They just sit or kneel on the ground every day, and keep chanting "Amitabha". In the teachings of the Successive Sects, this is enough for them to enter the Western Heaven Elysium after death, and it is also the spiritual pillar that supports them. Because stepping into Elysium after death is their only yearning now.
At the same time, every day during the meal for the past two days, several monks would shout around them about Oda Yoshinobu's sins, blaming Oda Yoshinobu and the Oda family for everything they have suffered now.
These believers unreservedly believed in their reversal of right and wrong, and they cried out to fight the Oda Army, because in the mouths of these monks, those who fought for the Buddha, after death, they would enter the Western Heaven Elysium and become the protectors of our Buddha.
"Tsk, the morale of this group is very high......" Oda Yoshinobu said helplessly when he heard the shouts coming from the city. At this time, two days had passed since the siege of the city, but Oda Yoshinobu still did not see any signs of the followers of the Ikyi sect in the castle wanting to surrender. It's just that Oda Yoshinobu really doesn't want to spend half or a month with them, after all, in his opinion, Nagashima Castle is a castle that can be taken down at any time, so why waste so much time?
In particular, Oda Nobunaga is still waiting for his results. After all, if you want to conquer the Asai family, the power of Nagashima Ichisho will definitely not appear, otherwise, neither Oda Yoshinobu nor Oda Nobunaga will be at ease.
On the third day, the news that Oda Yoshinobu was waiting for finally appeared.
"May the temple be clear, right? Tell your father that you want to submit? OK! First, you and the other monks of the Oda clan must all leave the Oda family's territory! Second, these 100,000 people must all be converted and made up for their mistakes as slaves! At the same time, after surrendering, you must leave the city immediately, and you are not allowed to carry any weapons! Oda Yoshinobu said lightly.
"It can't be!" When Cheng Cheng heard this, he immediately stood up angrily and glared at Oda Yoshinobu, "Oda-sama! You're too harsh! We had no problem leaving! But these people are all the children of my Buddha, how can they betray my Buddha in order to survive and steal their lives?! And you want to make them your slaves?! Don't you know that you forced them to become what they are now?! Not to mention laying down your arms and going out of the city to surrender! If we do this, how can we protect ourselves if you turn your face?! ā
Facing the words of the Wishing Temple, Oda Yoshinobu just said lightly, "I think you should have heard that I have a rule......" Although his tone was flat, he was already very unhappy in his heart. Although Oda Yoshinobu did not know Senshoji Sumitsuji, he had always disliked Honganji and Ichijomune. And now, one of the members of this nasty group dares to BB when he is so kind and ready to accept submission?
Although he has always been very entangled, it is obvious that Oda Yoshinobu, who has had a smooth journey, has a hard time accepting this situation.
"Lord!" Before Oda Yoshinobu finished speaking, Li Huamei on the side anxiously interrupted Oda Yoshinobu's words. Well, it can be said that it is very rude for her to do this, because at such a time, the status of the retainer cannot intervene without the permission of the lord.
It's just that she really has no choice, because once Oda Yoshinobu says this, there is really no possibility of taking it back. Although it cannot be said that Jun has no jokes, Oda Yoshinobu has always been a model of doing what he says. You must know that in this era, integrity can be said to be not so important, but it is very important.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu turned his head to look at Li Huamei, and then looked at the others, and found that although none of them spoke, the meaning expressed in their expressions was the same. looked at the temple again, but found that he was looking at Oda Yoshinobu with a look that was a little smug but did not dare to show it.
Suddenly, Oda Yoshinobu smiled, turned his head to look at the Prayer Temple, and said lightly, "Go, tell your father, if you don't accept my conditions, then you can wait for death......"
"You?!" Hearing this, Zenji Chengyi was about to say something, but was directly interrupted by Oda Yoshinobu, "Send him back." ā
When the Wishing Temple left Chengyi, Li Huamei suddenly said anxiously, "Lord! Why would you want to do that?! Don't you know how much infamy you and your family will suffer if you kill all 100,000 people?! They are not just civilians, they are Buddhists! ā
"Not bad! My lord, this country is a Buddhist country, and almost most of the samurai believe in Buddhism. Although His Highness and the other Buddhist sects have reached an agreement not to participate in the war between the main family and Honganji, if the lord really kills you, I am afraid that it will attract the hostility of the Buddhist sects all over the world. Shigeharu Takenaka didn't dare to be silent at this time, and got up to persuade him.
"My lord, my subordinates also know that you are very dissatisfied with the other party's attitude, but those civilians are innocent...... Fernand said in a deep voice.
Others, such as Keiji Maeda, did not speak, but their expressions revealed the same meaning. After all, that's 100,000 people! Although Matsudaira Ieyasu set fire to the temple, he didn't actually burn too many people.
It's just that in the face of everyone's words, Oda Yoshinobu just smiled and said, "I didn't say that I wanted to kill those civilians~ If the other party really doesn't accept it, then we can completely release this news." I believe that those who want to survive will help us solve these problems. ā
Hearing this, Li Huamei and the others were stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Oda Yoshinobu meant. Strictly speaking, this is indeed a method that is not a solution, but Li Huamei asked again, "Lord, what if they still don't choose to submit?" ā
"......" Hearing Li Huamei's words, Oda Yoshinobu was silent, and after a long time, he whispered, "Do not live if you do your own evil!" As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Since they hope to go to the Western Heaven Elysium at the cost of their lives, then I will give them a ride......
"But!" Li Huamei wanted to say something when she heard this, but was interrupted by Oda Yoshinobu waving his hand.
"I know there will be serious consequences for doing this, but there is no doubt that it is the best deterrent to the enemy. And...... For a group of enemies who are unwilling to submit us, do we really have to compromise for them?! Oda Yoshinobu asked in a deep voice as he looked at everyone.
