Chapter 189: Fairness
In Tsutsui Castle, Matsukura Shigenobu and the messenger of Tokawa Izuku arrived almost at the same time.
Tsutsui Shunqing was dressed as a plain head cloth and a nun.
She first read the letter from Shikawa Ichicun, and quietly handed it to Matsukura Shigenobu.
"Do you think the battle report of the Ten Rivers is credible?"
Matsukura Shigenobu took the letter, looked at ten lines, and said after reading it.
"It should be true, the people of Hanoi have long been dissatisfied with Hatakeyama's high government, but it is only the Yusa Changjiao who has suppressed it until today.
As long as Yusa Chokyo dies, no matter who does it, Hatakeyama Takamasa will no longer be able to suppress Hanoi.
The matter of Izumi should also be true, and everyone knows that the people of Genlai were hired by the Miyoshi family. I don't know if I think about it now, but it turned out that I went along the Izumi Mountains to attack Hosokawa's house. ”
Tsutsui Shunqing nodded, and the analysis of the number one general under her command gave her an estimate of the battlefield situation.
"Then do you think that if Ten Rivers survives, is it a bluff, or is it really going to be a big battle with Si Bo Yiyin?"
Matsukura Shigenobu said.
"I think it's true. Miyoshi Yixing is dead, and Miyoshi Changqing only has this only daughter.
Shihe Yicun couldn't explain to her no matter what, and the only thing he could do was to kill Spo Yiyin.
After the betrayal of the Saga people, Tokawa Ichiku was no longer able to maintain the logistics line from Kii Province to Yamato.
If she doesn't want to be wiped out, she must choose to retreat. ”
Shunkei Tsutsui stood up, looked at Matsukura Shigenobu and said.
"So her word can be believed?"
Matsukura Shigenobu hesitated for a moment and replied.
"It can be believed.
But Your Highness, the Dharma Master has already made the decree of the Dharma, pointing out that Sanhao Changqing is the enemy of the Buddha, and we can't do anything more. ”
Tsutsui Shunqing looked at her and said word by word.
"Who said I was going to join forces with Ten Rivers Ichicun.
Ten rivers invaded Yamato, and Spo Yoshiyin was not.
They beat theirs, and I beat mine. ”
Matsukura Shigenobu said with a frown.
"But the Dharma Master has already issued a decree to let the nun warrior family fully support Sipo Yiyin."
Tsutsui Shunqing sneered.
"Yamato is the Yamato of our nun martial arts.
The Dharma Lord was confused, and gave Koriyama Castle to Sipo Yoshigin, which was to give him a traditional samurai territory of 100,000 stone in the northern land.
That's 100,000 stones, the northern martial arts are under the status of Yamato, and no one in the nun martial arts family has ever cut benefits from them.
Now that the Dharma Master is going to let me wait for the nuns to lose 100,000 stones, do you say, will they pretend to be confused? ”
Matsukura Shigenobu nodded and said again.
"The Buddha enemy?"
Shunkei Tsutsui laughed.
"If it weren't for the Dharma Master pointing out Sanhao Changqing as the enemy of the Buddha, I wouldn't dare to oppose her openly.
She's a transgression!
Does the Master of Koyasan know? Did the Venerable Master of Ishiyama Honganji Temple agree? Did the Venerable Master of Wakayama agree? Did the Master of Mt. Hiei agree?
Without the permission of these Venerable Masters, she dared to privately point fingers at the Buddha's enemies, and this was a place to die without a place to be buried!
Don't pay attention to this kind of pretension, someone will clean her up. ”
Matsukura Shigenobu is still worried.
"But the low-level believers don't understand this, and they will definitely take the things of the Buddha's enemies seriously."
Tsutsui Shunqing glanced at him and said coldly.
"I don't join forces with the enemies of the Buddha, they beat them. When they were scorched, I entered behind my back and went to war against Spoyin.
The believers are foolish, and we are doing this for their good.
Spo Yoshigin's intention to turn the shogunate into Yamato, which was to destroy the earthly Buddha kingdom in one fell swoop. As a devout believer, I, Tsutsui Shunkei, of course have to stop it.
Do you think that's the truth? ”
Matsukura Shigenobu was speechless. It's shameless, but it's unassailable.
The shogunate army has shown its decline on the main battlefield, and the end of the lord is not good.
As long as the Tsutsui family can survive this turmoil of disobedience to the law, then the Tsutsui family's century-old ambition will be realized.
The Yamato Kingdom will be at the mercy of the Tsutsui family.
Even if Koyasan sends the lord again, the Tsutsui family is already entrenched and cannot be shaken.
Since the rise of Kofukuji Temple, the four families of nuns, the Tsutsui family, the Koshichi family, the Koo family, and the Ten City families, finally decided to be the lord of Yamato after a hundred years.
Camp of the Spoy coalition forces.
Now that they have thought about sticking to and killing the enemy, the army began to mobilize.
The vicinity of Tsutsui Castle is a low-lying plain with almost no hills, canyons, and other terrain that is conducive to defense.
Then we can only rely on the army's self-made earthen ramparts, horse rejection, wooden fences, digging trenches, and artificially creating obstacles.
Tsutsui Castle is to the east of Toyogawa, and because of Toyokawa's anti-L-shaped flow, the army of the Ten Rivers is in the southwest of the Spo coalition army, and it can be killed without crossing the river.
Spo Yoshiin sat in charge of the shogunate, and one of his samurai stood beside him.
He said.
"Ten rivers and one cun should have received the head of Miyoshi Yixing, and as expected, she will attack tomorrow."
When the news of the betrayal of the Saga people was known, the Yamato strategy of the Ten Rivers had failed.
The question now is how she chooses, retreat directly or kill Yiyin and then retreat.
Miyoshi Yixing died too desolately, if Shihe Yicun didn't kill Sipo Yiyin, he wouldn't have the face to see Miyoshi Changqing when he went back.
They have a deep sisterhood, and they will inevitably be killed, and for her, who is short of military rations, the sooner the better.
Niko Katsuhisa said.
"In this battle, our army only needs to defend to the death, and we hope that the emperor will be more conservative."
Niko Katsuhisa is really scared, and his own general is full of moths every time he fights.
This time, it is clear that the ten rivers can't afford to drag it out, so you just need to guard your own camp and don't make any more trouble.
Yiyin nodded.
He didn't want to take risks, he had no choice before, and he could only take risks if he was poor and weak.
Now that the army's heart is stable and the soldiers are using their lives, why should he do any tricks.
The most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of the people of the country is indeed not comparable to the elite of the hundred battles of the Ten Rivers, and it is better to defend it well if it goes out and is beaten by someone.
He glanced at the scene and said.
"My lords, I love war. Loved it, loved it very much.
I like to speak with a sword.
I like to charge on horseback.
I like to crush my enemies and watch their expressions of fear and inability to resist.
I like to be rewarded by the public, and everything is spoken with military exploits.
War destroys everything, war gives us everything!
As long as there is a war, we samurai have a way out.
Come with me and embrace the war!
The money, food, knowledge, status, and glory you want are all there, waiting for you to get them! ”
Yiyin's words made the blood boil in the blood of all the concubines present, and it touched their hearts.
In the final analysis, the samurai society still relies on military exploits to open the upward channel.
Without war, there is no service, without service, there is no reward, and without grace there is nothing.
The third wife of Baidi came out of the ranks, knelt down and kowtowed, and asked.
"Dare to ask Your Highness, can war wash away the sin of disobedience of my third wife of the Hundred Lands?"
What she is most afraid of is that after this battle, Yiyin will settle accounts after the autumn, after all, she is rebelling in public, and there is no way to deny it.
Yiyin looked at her and said seriously.
"As long as you fight bravely, I will forgive you from your sins. If there are other military exploits, I will not forget the reward of your hundred lands. ”
The third wife of Baidi kowtowed in gratitude, and Suzuki Shigehide came out and knelt again.
Yiyin looked at her and said.
"It's the same with you. As long as you have meritorious service in battle, it should be yours and yours. ”
Yiyin looked around at the warriors and said.
"I've only done three things since I joined the army. Fair, fair, and especially fair.
I know what you're worried about, but the Spoo family isn't one of those rotten old nobles, and there aren't so many retainers to resettle.
I swear in the name of the ancestors of Sibo that those who serve under my command will be rewarded! ”
All the princesses bowed in unison.
"Hey!"
