And Matsudaira Ieyasu is also very smart, and immediately put forward a proposal to welcome the samurai back without blame, and really coaxed many young Mikawa samurai back, and when everyone saw that the lord Matsudaira Ieyasu really didn't care, there was a little bit of a bad feeling in their hearts, and they thought about whether it was feasible to return to the ginseng.

This thought really can't go on together, and the main force of Kikuichi basically didn't move much throughout the summer, letting the good situation of more than 30,000 people besieging Okazaki Castle not move, and slowly dragging the time to the autumn harvest little by little, at this time Matsudaira Ieyasu wrote a sincere public persuasion letter.

The letter was posted outside Okazaki Castle and copied and distributed throughout Mikawa Province, in which the believers spoke of the hardships of the Matsudaira family's efforts to regroup after the defeat of the barrel and narrows, and the pain of the Matsudaira family's great civil strife as soon as their momentum improved, and their earnest hope for the return of the Matsudaira family's samurai. It doesn't matter what you've done, as long as you come back!

This time, the emotionally rich Matsudaira samurai really couldn't bear the strength, and he was busy running back to Okazaki City with the military momentum, and in the blink of an eye, the former Matsudaira rebels walked away, Matsudaira Masahisa and Matsudaira Ieji almost became bare-bones commanders, and the Matsudaira family seized the gap of the return of a large number of retainers to launch a counterattack, and simply beat the arrogant Mikawa back to his lair for a long time.

Matsudaira Masahisa of the Okusa Matsudaira family and Matsudaira Ieji of the Sakurai Matsudaira family were not lightly frightened, and few of the big soldiers under his command asked him how to fight against Matsudaira Ieyasu, and it happened that at this time, Ishikawa Shumasa's letter of persuasion was sent, and it was another emotional consolation. After thinking about it, the two felt that Kira Yoshishi's hands and eyes could not save them. reluctantly pinched his nose and submitted.

Another attempt to stand on his own feet was also turned into a bare-bones commander. It's just that this old man is not old or thinks that the governor will not let him go, in short, the old man saw that the situation was not good, so he trotted all the way out of the country of Mikawa and disappeared, but Oda Nobunaga's strategy cooperated with the 3,000 army to enter the country, and it made the Kikuichi who needed to be fierce in the country of Mikawa fall into the brink of collapse in a blink of an eye, and the so-called 30,000 army is like a paper tiger poked and broken.

With the cooperation of the 3,000 elites of Shibata Katsuya and Mori Kasei, Matsudaira Ieyasu led more than 4,000 troops to kill the Azaki Katsukaji Temple and the Honmune Temple of Toro.

In the time of the Ninth Lord Honganji Temple, he appointed his son Miyon as the first abbot of the temple. In the hands of the current abbot of the temple, it has become a mountain-level temple that has always been treated by the Sanhe sect, and what is even more amazing is that this temple became the hand-picked Xu Yuan family of the imperial court in the second year of Yongroku (1559), and it has become a famous temple in Sanhe from a small local temple to a famous temple in Sanhe.

Shibata Katsuya and Mori Konari acted on orders, and everything was based on Matsudaira Ieyasu as the "master" to put themselves at the level of reinforcements, and they simply helped their allies tide over the difficulties and did not covet that little land interest, and even the food and salary did not need to be paid by the Mikawa Matsudaira family, from this point of view, Oda Nobunaga really achieved "big brother-like warmth".

Matsudaira Ieyasu, the "little brother", was very moved, and cried on the spot, crying while crying and tearfully recalling the deep friendship with Brother Yoshifa in the past, and he cried so that Shibata Katsuya and Mori Kosei were helpless. I've never met a samurai who can still play this trick, so I can only watch it and have to say a few words of comfort from time to time. makes the scene so embarrassing.

In this way, a multinational armed force went to the outside of the Shenghu Temple to disperse the believers who tried to stop it, and forced the stubborn monks and disciples to withdraw from the temple by setting fire to the temple, which was a very effective way to deal with the arrogance of the monks and disciples of the temple, and when they chose between life and faith, they chose to give up their faith to save their lives.

The Karan of Katsukuji Temple was burned down on the spot, and the Matsudaira family excavated several gold and earth warehouses from the burned ruins, and the gold, silver and copper coins stored in them were worth tens of thousands of Yongle coins, and Matsudaira Ieyasu ordered the samurai of the family to carry these copper coins with wooden sticks around the streets of Okazaki Castle Town, and posted notices to let the townspeople know that these sanctimonious monks were actually flower monks who ate human flesh and drank human blood.

The atmosphere of public opinion in Okazaki Castle changed from reprimanding Matsudaira Ieyasu for supporting Mikawa in a blink of an eye, to one-sided support for Matsudaira Ieyasu and denouncing the rude followers of the Tsukoji sect, retreating to the Katsukuji Temple in the main temple and almost fainting when he heard the news, pointing in the direction of Okazaki Castle in the north and muttering for a long time without saying a word, he was very angry and felt that he was very innocent, and the accumulation of nearly a hundred years of temple property did not make people save a little at all, and this Matsudaira Ieyasu was just a strong word.

The monks and disciples used their privileges to do a lot of bad things that bullied men and women, and now they were pulled out by Matsudaira Ieyasu with a pile of hidden gold and hinted that there were many others to be taken away, which made them very unhappy, probably thinking that they were hungry and making trouble in order to defend the dignity of the Dharma Lord and the Sect, not to defend these flower monks with fat brains.

The next day, the Matsudaira army went out again, this time the target was that the main temple of Toro Township planned to take the last of the Honshoji bridgehead in Nuta-gun in one go, and the Honshoji temple on the other side had already been fully prepared, gathering 7,000 Ichijo Ichijo believers to hold the Mozen Town, Kamiyyaji Katsuyu with 5,000 Ichijo Ichijo army tried to reinforce, but was easily blocked by Shibata Katsuie and Mori Kosei on the west bank of the Yasakugawa River.

This time, Matsudaira Ieyasu was determined to teach a profound lesson to the past, and took out the only hundred or so iron cannons to fire a salvo in front of the door, and those believers had no idea what the swarthy thing like a burning stick and a little shorter was for, and suddenly erupted a continuous roar, and then a thick smoke and fire rose up to cover the sky and the sun, and the legs of these native peasants in the countryside of Mikawa knelt down and kowtowed, and the bold believers shouted "demon magic" and rushed out head-on, and they were beaten into the bottom of the sieve after a few steps.

The monks of the temple were frightened, although they heard the sect friends in the temple talk about the iron cannon, but the first time they saw it, they were still frightened by the huge power, and the burning stick that suddenly emitted a puff of white smoke and flames was not an "iron cannon", and the monks of the temple panicked around the abbot to ask for a charter. But the temple itself didn't know what to do and how to help them get the charter.

A soldier is a general, and courage will be the soul of a soldier. As the master, you must have the courage to collapse in front of Mount Tai and change the color. No matter how big the crisis is, you can't panic, the main general will advance and retreat, the army's heart will fluctuate, and chaos will occur, the temple is a learned monk who has no power to restrain the chicken, where do you know how to fight on these battle formations, and I can't sit still when I hear a burst of mournful wails from time to time in the door front town outside the temple.

The two of them didn't come up with a decent solution for a long time, and they heard the shouts of killing in front of the door getting louder and louder, and they could vaguely hear the sound of heavy objects hitting the door. The temple priest could no longer care about the strategy of coping, and hurriedly got up and ordered the monks and disciples in the temple to flee with money and food.

This time the temple certificate is much smarter than the Shengfu Temple, he plans not to even leave a penny, and ordered the official to carry grain and grass to form a small pack of lotus team to move to the temple for refuge, but the temple property of the temple is too much so that the pack horses in the temple are not enough trend, the temple is busy beckoning the monks to pack up their things, are this reluctant to give which is not willing to lose, grinding and delaying for a long time, until the main force of the Matsudaira army broke into the temple, the temple certificate of the temple was reluctant to leave a bunch of belongings and fled in embarrassment.

A wave of defeat is like a falling domino. The powerful inertia is like a close node that is interlocking, and it simply defeats the soldiers that Mikawa has always beaten like a mountain. On the second day of the attack on the Kamiyaji Temple, Mikawa continued to retreat, and the more defeated he became, the more he beat many of the followers of the Ichijo sect from the fanatical faith, and more and more believers of the Ichijo sect who fled, and more and more samurai and ashigaru who joined the Matsudaira family at the expense of each other, and the snowball effect was difficult to contain.

At this time, Kikuichi only the remaining remnants of Mikawa Yoshira came out of the internal strife, Nishio Yoshiji found that more than 6,000 troops of the Matsudaira army surrounded the temple, and wanted to lead the team's 2,000 troops to rescue and was strongly opposed by Arakawa Yoshihiro, the two are uncles and nephews and have the same relationship with the Matsudaira family, Arakawa Yoshihiro, who was an uncle, married Matsudaira Ieyasu's half-sister as a stepfamily, Nishio Yoshiji's uncle is Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, this generation makes people who know the relationship instantly messy.

Arakawa Yoshihiro was unwilling, this army could only mobilize half of the troops, and it was definitely useless for a thousand troops to rescue the temple, and as soon as he arrived near the temple, he caught up with the defeated army of Nagashima and rushed over, and he didn't know what was going on, so he was coerced to retreat, and it ended early before he started.

After inquiry, I learned that the Nagashima Ichikuchi led by Shimoma Yoritan had rich combat experience, and its combat power was second only to the main force of the Matsudaira Army, so this army was jointly dealt with by the Matsudaira Army and the Oda Army, and the Oda Matsudaira Coalition Army had nearly 10,000 troops, each well-equipped and well-supplied, and it was a fierce pursuit and fierce attack around the 5,000 Nagashima Island.

Even if Shimoma Yoridan has three heads and six arms and is extremely brave, but it can't withstand the repeated assaults of Maeda Toshiie, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Honda Tadakatsu, Honda Hirotaka and others, and the 5,000 one-sided army is a little worse than the Oda Matsudaira coalition army, and it can be said that it is aggrieved to death when it is held down and chased and beaten, and even the Shimoma Yoridan, who has been defeated and retreated, has no time to retreat even to the Honshoji Temple, so he can only abandon the panicked Honshoji Temple empty oath and flee to the mouth of the Yasaku River.

Nishio Yoshiji is not the kind of samurai who has the best command ability, and has always played a role in the Oda family system, and there is no way to deal with this situation, so he immediately gave up the plan to march to the rescue and returned to Saijo Castle to garrison, while Arakawa Yoshihiro returned to Tojo Castle with a thousand troops to station, and the two sides did not care about each other and divided Mikawa Kira's remnants into two pieces with the Yasaki River as the boundary.

On September 27, after nearly a month of stubborn resistance, Mikawa had been the last bridgehead of the temple, the temple was finally captured, and Matsudaira Ieyasu led 6,000 troops to break into the burning temple, and at this time, the remnants of the temple withdrew under the leadership of the temple under the leadership of the temple empty oath, the temple empty oath, the Katsuji temple, the Kaminomiya temple Katsuyu, and the honjoji temple Mitsuji with full of resentment and finally stared at the three leaves of the temple and fled westward.

Matsudaira Ieyasu stood motionless outside the burning Honshoji Temple, looking at the direction of the retreat of the four abbots for a long time before retracting his gaze, he himself is a believer in the Pure Land Sect, and he does not have much rejection of the Honganji Temple whose real name is the Pure Land Shinshu, but this time Mikawa has always been involved in his core territory and caused a huge disaster, forcing him to make a choice between personal comfort and faith eradication.

He had to completely eliminate the faith of the Yixiang Sect, and pay the price of nearly a thousand casualties to pull out the last wisp of embers of the Three Rivers, and he must not let the Yixiang Sect have the possibility of resurrection. But he was unwilling to completely tear his face with Yixiangzong. Therefore, he decided to abandon the pursuit of the monks of the lost Sanhe Sanji and the main temple. If you are willing to go, let him go, and simply walk cleanly.

Matsudaira Ieyasu's brow was not relieved by the end of the war, and he spent the next few days drinking with Shibata Katsuie, Mori Kasei, and other Oda samurai to celebrate their hard-won victory, and then sent the captured Yongle money 1,000 kanbun as a reward for this crusade, and then sent these great gods back to Owari Province.

This was not the end, he sent Ishikawa Shumasa to Cheongju Castle with some gold, silver and jewelry, and a sincere letter of thanks, and before leaving, he also specially instructed Ishikawa Shumasa to give a small knick-knack to the inner family of Master Yoshifa, especially a string of Ode to the Hall of the Spring Primrose, that is, a string of high-quality Indra cowardly Buddha beads of Lady Tsuchida, and a bronze mirror inlaid with precious stones on the side of Lady Guidie.

Matsudaira Ieyasu owes Oda Nobunaga a huge favor this time. Without Oda Nobunaga's help, he would not have been able to survive this level in any case, and it would not be too much of a problem to survive a winter or even a few years with his own ability, but the premise was that the Kanto Kira Yoshitomi did not take further action, which was based on a beautiful vision under the cruel reality, and he knew that it was impossible to still fantasize about the simple extravagance.

Kira Yoshitoki put all his energy into the quelling action in Kanto, and he couldn't care about the news of killing the Mikawa Kira clan for the time being, but this didn't mean that Kira Yoshitoki would really let go of this brother-killing enemy, as long as the war in Kanto went a little smooth, their Matsudaira family would still be finished.

"What a great strength! Words and deeds can affect major events in the world, and every move is enough to shock the world. When will my Ieyasu have that day! Matsudaira Ieyasu had a little envy, a little longing, and a little ambition, an expression he would never dare to show to anyone. Including his wife Sena Hime and the most trusted elder of the family of Pedei, he only dared to sit alone in the room in the dead of night to show a similar expression.

His childhood experience taught him to be forbearant and kind and a set of delicate ways of doing things, and he always gave the world the image of a loyal and straightforward samurai, and it was precisely because of this mark that he was strongly supported by the generations of the Matsudaira family tree, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu's arrogance and Matsudaira Hirotada's mediocrity proved to be a huge mistake, and the Matsudaira retainers felt that they needed a more generous and kind family governor, so there is Matsudaira Ieyasu who has responded to today's call.

It's just that with the smooth progress of the past few years, he gradually forgot that there was such an unforgettable memory, and the action instinct that was almost firmly engraved on him still affected his actions.

Oda Nobunaga's support for the Matsudaira family was so timely and powerful that the subsequent progress went so smoothly that it was completely beyond his expectations, Matsudaira Ieyasu originally thought that even if there were reinforcements, it would be difficult to expel the Oda family within the year, and it would be difficult to suppress the huge power of Kikuichi within three years, maybe he would have to make a long-term battle to deal with it, but he didn't want all this to quickly collapse in a series of cooperation of the Oda army, so that he saw the powerful strength of the Oda family for the first time It was not as simple as he imagined.

"There is no void under the fame, and Senior Brother Yoshifa is the dragon and phoenix among the people, can't my Ieyasu become such a top samurai? No! I should be able to! Matsudaira Ieyasu secretly cheered himself on, and he raised his personal goal from achieving the unification of Mikawa to following in the footsteps of Oda Nobunaga, and he firmly believed that he could one day achieve it.

A few days later, the Matsudaira army, who returned to Okazaki Castle, took a short rest and again set out to quell the sporadic rebellions in various places, Matsudaira Ieyasu carefully listened to the various opinions of the retainers of the spectrum and gave relevant answers, and finally said slowly: "The general of the family will order that from now on the territory of Mikawa will be completely banned from the sect of the sect, and the monks of the temple shrine will be demolished to return to the laity on the spot or converted to him, and the samurai in the country can be freely converted within one year, but if there are people who do not change within the time limit, they can be severely punished as appropriate!" ”

"Lord, what should I do with Ju Yihua?" Ishikawa Ienari said worriedly: "The people of Higashimikawa still don't seem to be moving, and there is a ...... involved behind this Ju Yihua."

"The family knows...... Of course, the family knows what is important. Matsudaira Ieyasu held his forehead and lamented in distress: "Let's go to Kiyoshu Castle by Boqi Shouden again, as a no-war agreement between the Matsudaira family and the Kamisui Ashikaga family!" ”

……

Kira Yoshitoki, who was far away in the Kanto region, didn't know what was happening in Mikawa, because the situation in front of him seemed to give him time to deal with those things. Since July, the Ashikaga Fujimasa of the Furukawa Imperial Palace has changed frequently. Kira ninja didn't find any clues after several inquiries. It's just a preliminary suspicion that Matsunaga is playing tricks with Ashikaga Fujimasa again.

Just a few days after the end of this investigation, many people in the Kwantung Kingdom suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and from supporting the Kira army to enter the Kanto region, they turned into a hostile attitude, and the attitude was very fierce to declare that they wanted Kira Yoshitoki to return to Echigo, and the Kanto is the Kanto of the Kwantung samurai.

The Hitachi Satake clan, the Edo clan, the Oda clan, the Osho clan, the Chiba clan and the Yuki clan of Shimoku Province, the Utsunomiya clan of Shimono Kuni, the Nasu clan, the Sano clan, and the Koyama clan successively raised the banner against Kira Yoshishi, and resolutely stood behind Ashikaga Fujimasa of the Furukawa Imperial Palace. For this reason, he did not hesitate to fight to the death with the invader Kira Yoshitomi.

Kira Yoshitoki took the letter and looked back and forth a few times before figuring out the meaning, this Furukawa Imperial Ashikaga Fujimasa doesn't know how many moths he made, anyway, he fooled the people of the three kingdoms of Shimo, Changlu, and Shimono, and half of the remaining Kamiko was Satomi Yoshihiro who inherited his father's professional wall grass talent, and the other was the Hojo clan who was being held down and beaten, and a small number of non-partisan Kamitsu soy sauce people came to represent or be represented at all insignificant.

Kira Yoshitoki doesn't care if the people of the Kanto Kingdom oppose him, all he has to do is to dispose of the disgusting guy Ashikaga Fujimasa, whether it is imprisoned or exiled to Sado Island, in short, he doesn't want this guy who "does not belong to the world" to appear in front of him, and by the way, he can inherit the position of the Kanto Duke to achieve his ultimate goal of striding forward.

Regardless of what the people of the Kwantung Kingdom thought about him, his retainers were all over Echigo Province, Omi Province, Shinano Province, Ueno Province, Etchu Province, Dewa Province, Kaga Province, and the newly arrived Musashi Province. The elite samurai of this entire retainer group are gathered together, and it doesn't seem that there is much need for the people of the Kwantung Kingdom to intervene.

From his heart. I am even more reluctant to easily design the quagmire of the Shimono Country that has no inherent interests involved, these several realms together are only at the level of two million stones, and the current territory scale is not so high in Kira Yoshito, and the income of Musashi Country has already forced into the threshold of five million stones, and I dare not say that five million stones can allow him to accumulate quantitative changes, but at least he does not mention the invasion and occupation of this head, but there is no problem in simply crushing the lords of any country along the way.

But at this moment, the people of the Kanto Kingdom were determined to jump out to challenge him, challenge the dignity of the Ashikaga family and himself, and the banner was to honor the Kanto prince Ashikaga Fujimasa, and the samurai who spread the news posted the flying newspaper along the Tokaido, Higashiyamado, Hokuriku, Dewa and Mutsu provinces, and it took less than half a month to spread the news to every corner of the world, so that the world knew that there was still a big war in the Kanto region that was about to begin.

Suddenly, the Kanto region shook the world, and many pairs of eyes were looking forward to the Kanto people's anti-Kira drama finally about to start, but as one of the parties concerned, Kira Yoshishi was very angry, and was forced to show off his best propaganda strategy in front of him, how annoyed he was, and the world's samurai gathered their eyes to make him bear huge pressure, no matter whether he won or lost, he had to be judged by a group of strange samurai and even civilians, which made his dignity hurt and stung his anger even more.

It's not his habit to be afraid of things, and it's not his habit to endure this bad breath, Ji Liang Yoshishi fell down the so-called saffron on the spot, and shouted: "What a Ashikaga Fujimasa, Yu Zhi is underestimating your ability and means, this hand has successfully played the axe, it seems that he is prepared to give Yu a profound lesson!" Yu really has to see what means you have to deal with my Ashikaga family! ”

Uesugi Teruto's sect Nagao Koshiro Jingzhi said respectfully: "Uesugi Dan Main Hall asks His Highness if it is necessary to stop the Sagami suppression plan and return to the east to join the main formation, and first sweep away the turmoil caused by the people of the Kwantung Kingdom. ”

Kira Yoshitoki understood that what Uesugi Terutora said about sweeping was the meaning of complete elimination, and the expansion strategy of the Kira family in recent years was to fight one faction, pull one faction, annex one faction, and punish one faction, from Echigo to Shinano, Ueno, Echichu, Kaga, Dehana Hida, many direct leaders were punished, and the same should be true of Musashi Province, and the same should be true of the Eight Provinces of Kanto.

Longxing Temple Suifeng once said to Kira Yoshishi when he was lecturing: "In the Yuanping era, there was a general named Shangqi Yuchang in the Bandong Baping clan, and his people often had the ambition of self-reliance after being leveled by the right general's palace, and His Royal Highness both set up the ambition of Lingyun to imitate the right general, and the thunder means in one hand and the other hand of heavenly grace and rain and dew, so as to achieve the ambition of the common lord of the world!" ”

The hint of the monk with the wind can be called explicit, but also reveals a very important truth, punishment and reward must be carried out simultaneously, absolutely not unilaterally used, you need to know that the punishment is more than the retainers resentful, and the reward is more to make the retainers gradually arrogant, Kamakura was harsh and fierce and the royal family was resentful before there was a change in the construction of the military, and the Muromachi shogunate came to a big turn, giving too many old favors to the west country, Kinai even played several roles in several countries or even more than a dozen countries of the genealogy of the retainers, causing one after another to affect the world.

In the face of the provocation issued by the people of the Kanto Kingdom, of course, Kira Yoshitoki must resolutely punish him, warning those samurai who have ulterior motives and have a fluke mentality, and the consequences of annoying the Kamiki Ashikaga family are very serious, and when he thought of this, Kira Yoshishi said: "Tell my brother Yu's attitude, I hope that my brother insists on Sagami's suppression and it is more important to press the Hojo family to Odawara, and the stability of Musashi Country needs Sagami Country as a screen domain, and my brother's department is where my Ashikaga family's future Kanto hegemony is, Please support my brother to calm the Sagami Hojo clan as soon as possible. ”

Langoka Yufang held the folding fan and carefully studied the map, and said strangely: "Your Majesty carefully observed that this Kwantung People's Army is still stubbornly ill, the good and the bad, and the orders are not the important reasons for the repeated defeats of the Kwantung People's Army, such a coalition army has almost no merit in the eyes of us, and the people of the Kwantung Kingdom should also know this truth, so why do you blindly insist on fighting against my Kira Army?" Buying fame? Or is it to achieve some unspeakable secret? It's really incomprehensible to your subordinates! ”

Ben Duoshi was frowning and thinking for a long time, but still had no clue, and muttered to himself: "Something is abnormal! There must be an ulterior secret in this, but what temptation can the Furukawa Gongfang give them? ”

"Could it be...... Title? A flash of inspiration flashed in Shima Shisheng's mind, and he blurted out: "I failed to give the house number last time, so I must find it back this time!" ”

"Reputation...... It should only be a name! Ashikaga Fujimasa can't give anything else, but what other name can he give? Kira Yoshishi was also thinking about this trouble that was bothering him, and he didn't want to understand that he always had to worry about having a trick behind his back to deal with him, and the situation of Kira's family was so good that he couldn't withstand the blow of the gutter capsizing.

A group of genealogical retainers followed the thoughts, guessed a bunch of inconsistency statements, and Nagano Yegu, who was huddled in the corner, suddenly said: "Could it be the name of an adopted son?" (To be continued......)
