Chapter 106: The Consciousness of Death in Battle (Part 2)

The test of baked jade came out quickly, just slightly adjusted the ratio of saltpeter and sulfur and handed it over to Kato Kyoaki to deal with, how to seal it with a clay pot and how to ignite it is his business, but this guy is really clever, and he went to the iron artillery team to borrow a fire rope to solve this problem, the manufacturing process of baked jade is relatively slow, not suitable for large-scale mass production, fortunately, he doesn't need mass production, this thing is too hot and it is best not to let people know.

Kira Yoshitoki ordered the Iron Artillery Corps to conduct shipboard shooting training, he has always believed that the Iron Artillery Corps should be paired with the naval army, which is the best way in the era when there is no artillery, according to the training situation reported by Takigawa Mashige, the Iron Artillery Corps has basically mastered the accuracy and rhythm of shooting, and the behavior of disobeying orders to fire guns is basically extinct, which is a good start.

In order to strengthen the protective force of this armed force, Kira Yoshitoki ordered the Yodogawa people to prepare 20 small morning ships, a total of 200 Yodogawa people who were good at water warfare carried bows and arrows to protect the surroundings, and the 50-man grenadier team was also thrown into the naval army to prepare for battle.

In the middle of July, as the weather became hotter and hotter, after more than a month of confrontation, everyone's patience was exhausted, not only the samurai were very irritable, but even the peasant soldiers who were matched also had some commotion, the autumn harvest was coming, these peasant soldiers were like arrows one by one, but the war continued, they could only whisper and complain, the military heart was turbulent, and some bad signs appeared so that Yamamoto Kansuke was very worried.

It's enough to worry about things.,But also in the face of Ashikaga Yoshito's desperate urging.,From the first three or two days a letter,To one a day,This unfamiliar with military strategy of the shogunate's urgent order,Ask him to immediately defeat Shikawa Ichicun and then come to the rescue of Nakao Castle.,How can the war be as simple as he thinks.,Kira Yoshitoki didn't report any hope for Ashikaga Yoshito's military ability.,Directly put his order on deaf ears.。

Just when Kira Yoshitoki was busy training, Yamamoto Tokiyuki hurriedly walked over and asked with a serious look: "The hall master is really calm!" Did you know that the autumn harvest has already begun in Nankaido? It doesn't take a month for the Miyoshi family to send an additional 10,000 or even more troops, and the family almost fell for the trick of Miyoshi Changqing! ”

"What!" Kira Yoshishi stumbled and almost fell, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that everyone is waiting for the autumn harvest?" Why is Miyoshi so fast! Is it because of the warm and humid climate in Nankaido? How so! ”

"It's the old minister's negligence! When Lao Chen was young, he only wandered in Nanhai Road for half a year, and he couldn't remember the scenery there for a long time, if he hadn't accidentally sorted out the records today, he wouldn't have remembered this incident! The three good families can increase their troops, but the family has no soldiers to increase, and the three good families will lose no matter what! Yamamoto shook his fist, looking very angry.

"Does that mean you have to do it quickly?" A sad Kira Yoshishi sat in the military tent and asked himself: "How to fight quickly?" Is it possible to let the family forcibly cross the river and attack the ten rivers and one cun? This is death! This kind of stupid thing would never be done! ”

"Lure the enemy! You have to lure the enemy in! Yamamoto Kansuke walked to the sand table and looked at it carefully, and said: "Ten rivers and one deposit must be led across the river, and only ten rivers and one storage can cross the river and attack, in order to break the current crisis." ”

"Lure the enemy across the river?" Kira Yoshishi stared at the small red and blue flag on the sand table, and his confused expression gradually became firm: "Lure the enemy to cross the river!" You must lure the enemy, and for this reason the family is willing to do whatever it takes, are you ready? ”

Facing Kira Yoshishi's burning gaze, the wise general squinted his one eye and asked in a low voice, "The old minister has already put life and death aside, but will the pavilion master be too dangerous?" ”

"Huh...... Fighting on the battlefield is nothing more than fighting for life, the family is fighting for the shogunate and the Kira family, if you unfortunately die in this Fushimihara, it is also my Kira family's anger is exhausted, and I can't complain! Ji Liang Yishi closed his eyes and recited loudly: "The Buddha said: Sitting and Zen, walking is also Zen, a flower is a world, a leaf is coming, the spring flowers are green, the autumn is the leaves drifting, the infinite heart is at ease, the language is silent and the body is natural." ”

"The Buddha told the Bodhisattva that in the future life, if there is a good man or a good woman, who hears the name of the Jizo Bodhisattva Mahasattva, or who joins hands, admires, prostrates, or admires, then a person transcends the sins of the thirty eons." Yamamoto prayed with his palms together.

On July 24, Kira Yoshitoki led a regiment of retainers into the barracks and gathered 5,000 Omi people, and Kuchigi Fujitsuna stood under the high platform and sang loudly: "Kira Yagata Lord has arrived!" When the name of Kira Yoshishi was announced, more than 5,000 peasant soldiers knelt down in awe.

The peasants of this era were very difficult, he never intended to pose in front of these peasants, he stood directly in front of the high platform, and asked in a gentle voice: "Among you, who is an only son without a family, and whose children are young and underage, please stand up and come to the front." ”

The peasants and soldiers were a little at a loss, not knowing what this noble man meant by asking this question, he looked up at the samurai lords on the stage without saying anything, and finally he was the first to stand up stupidly and boldly, and gradually many people stood up sparsely, looking at the humble expressions of the peasants and soldiers, Kira Yoshishi smiled

Yamaoka reminded in a low voice, "There are about six or seven hundred people in total. ”

"Got it!" Kira Yoshishi pinched the ebony rosary in his hand, which he took out from his parents' relics after his enlightenment last night, and her mother often held this rosary in her hand to pray for the peace of the family: "The World-Honored One said: People have eight sufferings, namely, the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, and the five yin and blazing suffering. ”

The four sufferings of love and separation, resentment and hatred, unbelievable, and five yin and blazing prosperity correspond to the seven emotions and six desires, respectively, resentment, greed, and the five aggregates accumulate like fire, and he wants to use these eight sufferings to bind the five thousand male soldiers in front of him, meditate for a moment, and then said: "You are all people who have no family business, there are parents in the family, there is no brother to take care of, once you die in battle, you will be extinct, so the family decided to let you serve as the main formation of the family, but also for you to fight for a chance to survive." ”

"Absolutely...... Heir? How could it be ......" The five thousand peasant soldiers seemed to be stupid by this formation, and what did it mean to say life and death without fighting? These farmers were a little frightened, they didn't know whether to kneel down and kowtow and pray for mercy now, or turn around and flee, seeing that the surrounding Sanhe warriors guarding each gate had a grim expression, and some timid people had begun to kneel down and pray for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas.

"War is life in death! This is the most terrible Shura field in the world, where the cowardly will perish and the brave will be reborn in blood! The more cowardly and fearful you are, the faster you will die, and not only you will die! Your family is going to die, too! Death for your cowardice! Did you know? My family sees cowardice and meanness in you, you are worried about your wealth, you are afraid of death, you just want to live like flies, is that right? Answer me! ”

"Woo woo......" More than 5,000 people were in mourning, and even the seven heads of Takashima on the stage were a little confused, isn't it a waste of words to say this with a group of peasant soldiers?

"Half of you will die on the battlefield, and the remaining half will face the miscapture of the Miyoshi family if they are lucky enough not to encounter more pursuit and flee back to their hometowns...... I think you understand what indiscriminate hunting is? Kira Yoshitoki stepped down from the high platform and slowly approached the crowd.

Indiscriminate arrest is war robbery, that is, ** captivity and plundering, the general of both sides of the general intensity of the war will restrain excessive indiscriminate hunting, such as only allowing the enemy and the defeated army to be captured in battle, or only allowed to indiscriminately capture the village is not allowed to enter the castle town to do nonsense, of course, there are also samurai who do not follow the routine, such as the Kai Takeda family since Takeda Harunobu was in power, it is not uncommon for a city to be robbed.

"Hah! Hi! The indiscriminate pandering of the peasant soldiers was mixed with indignant shouts, which were made by the uncalm young people, who were held down by the middle-aged peasant soldiers around them before they could speak, and then the veterans gave them stern looks, and immediately became honest.

"Is this the end of running back home? No! It's far from that easy! The army of the Miyoshi family will storm your village, harvest all the grain in your fields, take your last ration, and if you are unlucky, your wives and daughters will be occupied, and if you want to resist, you will only be killed...... By the way, if the Miyoshi family finds a carcass and bamboo gun printed with the Ashikaga family crest, then you will not be the only one who will die, your family will be beheaded, and your house will be burned down. ”

"Ahh Bastard of the Miyoshi family! I'm going to fight them! The peasants and soldiers, who had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly became noisy, and the angry young man stood up desperately and shouted angrily: "Bang! Tyranny! ”

"One! Punch! Punch! "One, two, three...... Gradually, all 5,000 people stood up, they raised the long handle in their hands, and let out an angry roar, the blood of the earth for a hundred years penetrated their blood, and the guardian of the daimyo did not care about the people's power and forced taxation to cause terror in the Tokamasa Ichiza Shogunate, Kyoto's famous temple was burned down, forcing the shogunate and the imperial court to bow their noble heads, and it was only a hundred years since the death of the Kaji Toichi.
