Chapter 108: The Oath of God and Buddha (Part 1)

"Excellent! War is a bloody Shura field! Always remember that the brave live! Death to the cowardly! If any of you appears a coward and wants to abandon you and your companions and flee, kill him immediately! Because that's the only way to save you all! Don't hesitate! Because the moment you hesitate, the cowards have already taken away the chance to live that belongs to you! ”

"Kill the coward! Kill the cowards! "A huge wave of sound rushed into the sky, and even the Miyoshi army on the other side of the river could hear it.

Kira Yoshishi's voice became hoarse, which was the sequelae of the angry shouting just now, and he couldn't care much about it at this time, and continued to ask: "Do you believe in gods and Buddhas?" Have you ever been to temples or shrines to make offerings? Don't be embarrassed, I'm a follower of the Rinzai sect of Myoshinji Temple, what about you? ”

"I'm Nichiren Sect."

"I'm the Tiantai Sect."

"I'm Huayan Sect."

"I am the Pure Land Shinshu."

The peasants and soldiers in the audience reported their beliefs one by one, occasionally some believers of the Hiyoshi Shrine were harmless, the gods and Buddhas of Omi Province were united, the Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine was the family shrine mastered by Enryakuji Temple, and the monks of Enryakuji Temple in the shrine were not too unusual, the power of the gods and Buddhas ran through the entire ancient history of Japan, and the emperor became a monk in the late Heian period and became the emperor to control the religious power with one hand, and the secular power with the other hand became a common practice, and the belief in gods and Buddhas in Li Shu is a basic rule, and the legend that the unbeliever fell into hell and could not be reborn forever is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"You all believe in gods and Buddhas, don't you? Then make a vow to the gods and Buddhas here! Kira Yoshitoki turned around and walked to the high platform, took a deep breath and shouted, "Follow me!" In my previous life, in this life, and in the next life, I swear to the gods and Buddhas of these three lifetimes! Today, Luo Zhonghe will fight to the death and will not retreat! If you break your oath, you will go to hell and will not be reborn! May the gods and Buddhas bless me to defeat the three buildings and protect the land and protect the hometown! ”

"I wait for the past life, this life, and the next life, and I swear to the gods and Buddhas for the results of these three lifetimes! Today, Luo Zhonghe will fight to the death and will not retreat! If you break your oath, you will go to hell and will not be reborn! May the gods and Buddhas bless me to defeat the three buildings and protect the land and protect the hometown! The neat and solemn voice came out of the mouths of these illiterate peasants, and even the samurai behind Kira Yoshitoki were moved, and they couldn't help but stand up and follow Kira Yoshitoki's solemn oath and swear a poisonous oath.

"Your Excellency! Where are your ambitions? Even the old minister really can't touch your editor," Yamamoto Tokiyuki thought secretly, "No matter what, I'm going to follow you to the death!" ”

The solemn oath sounded again and again, both the Omi samurai and the Mikawa samurai were shocked, and couldn't help but join in, some hesitant samurai watched their companions go out and swear without hesitation, and they stood in embarrassment and embarrassment, and finally could only follow the stand and swear a poisonous oath.

"Excellent! Make this vow! You and I are brothers! Brothers who can trust each other with life and death! You can rest assured that you can hand over your back to your comrades, and you can entrust your life to your comrades! Remember! Some of you will die, but the living will take care of the widows of your dead companions! This is faithfulness! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Five thousand people agreed.

"The next step is to choose the strictest and most unsympathetic of you from among you! I need you to elect a hundred of these people to form a group of people, and they will stand behind everyone to supervise the battle! You must keep your oath, and if any of you break your oath and flee, the 100 will punish the cowardly! Remember! The brave are born! Death to the cowardly! ”

"The brave live! Death to the cowardly! The brave are born! The cowardly ...... die," the 5,000-strong army roared the oath, and the morale suddenly rose to bursting, and the originally very complicated Mufu group was elected in only one stick of incense.

Looking at the hundred peasant soldiers with resolute faces, Kira Yoshitoki stepped down from the high platform to review the selected Daimofu one by one, and then said to them: "You will exercise the power to execute deserters in my place!" Remember, there is no mercy on the battlefield, and as long as he escapes, whether it is your relatives or old friends, he must not hesitate to be executed immediately! That's loyalty! Not only for your family, but also for your wife and children! Their families must have the courage to bear it after they die! This is faithfulness!

On the battlefield, where you stand is the last line of your formation, and those who retreat die! Death to those who turn their backs on the enemy! After the war, as long as it is found that the person who dies with his back to the enemy will be sentenced to desertion! It is also your duty to urge your comrades not to make irreparable mistakes and to let their families suffer with them, remember? ”

A hundred resolute-faced big-eyed Fu Qi replied, "Remember! ”

"Fellow comrades! Today's oath will go down in history, and you will go down in history with me! No matter what the final victory or defeat of the war is, we will not wait in vain to go through this world! If you die in battle, you have to go without regrets! The survivors must carry on the legacy of their dead comrades and defend their homeland behind them! ”

"Defeat the three buildings, protect the land and protect the township! Defeat the three constructions, protect the land and protect the township......"

When he returned to the Great Tent, some of the retainers of the Kira family had not come to their senses, whether it was the Mikawa samurai or the Omi samurai, they were all amazed by Kira Yoshitoki's speech, no one had ever seen such a provocative speech since ancient times, and no one even cared about the life or death of those peasant soldiers, but Kira Yoshitoki did it, and he also exchanged a series of blood-boiling speeches for everyone's oaths, and originally they thought that Kira Yoshitoki was just going to establish a metsuku.

Kira Yoshitoki's actions proved his ability with his actions, and this time not only did the new Mikawa samurai feel convinced, but even Omi Takashima Shichito, and the people of Saka also supported him with sincerity, and after a long confrontation for a month, not only did not lose but grew stronger, and many began to have confidence in facing the army of the Miyoshi family.

The next is targeted harsh training, in order to reduce the fear of the Omi people against the Miyoshi army, Kira Yoshitoki specially sent Saijo Bei and Akabei to participate in joint training, the two sides use three sticks without guns as weapons, the two sides take turns to attack each other, each time Shiga and Takashima are defeated and lost, there are always some people who will retreat or simply break away from the line at the moment when the opposite side rushes in front of them, and the whole formation is always unanimous and is scattered as soon as it is rushed.

Omefu took on the responsibility of training supervision, they also held sticks and followed the team to charge forward, there was Omefu and Ashigaru general's supervision, a few days finally improved, many peasants and soldiers who had made mistakes were ashamed and then brave in the back of the performance is getting better and better, in the subsequent training and transferred the red horse riding team to participate in the joint training with the horses, on the first day of the horse team training group caught 178 people who retreated without authorization, these people are not so well treated, they were flogged in public.

When he inspected Kira Yoshitoki, he happened to see this scene, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-old child was being held down by several big men of five or three thick, and then a member of the Mefu group with a white headband on his head was personally executed, and the rattan smeared with tung oil and repeatedly baked and exposed to the sun was stuck with salt water and pumped on his back to make the young man howl for half a quarter of an hour.

"His name is Yaheisuke, he is sixteen years old, he has an older brother and older sister, his father used to be a good ashigaru, but unfortunately died with his brother in Takashima County, and he continued his military service as the second son in the family to succeed his father." Kuchigi Fujitsuna said that as local lords, they could remember almost everyone's name, which was also the basic quality of local lords.

"Remember, boy! If you're on the battlefield, I can cut off your head with just what you did! Don't let me see you retreat next time, or the flogging will be doubled! The soldier from the Mufu group called the man to carry him down.

"Yes! I'll never back down again! Yahesuke said loudly as he lay on the improvised stretcher.

"It looks pretty good, and hopefully they'll keep their word." Kira nodded with satisfaction.
