Chapter Fifty-Six: The Clan Exterminates a Surname (I)

Although Misawa Zubei fought fiercely, after all, he had been running around in Tokaido for many years, and he still knew a thing or two about the situation in the world.

Nowadays, the current political situation, it can be said that people with a little insight can see it, but it is a pity that Fang today under the daimyo division, melee endlessly, arrogant and rampant, whether it is the daimyo of the Kanto or the western country, most of the energy, are put on the competition for the territory and money and food, the shogunate is difficult to return, it is expected to reform the Ding Restoration, sweep the world, at present, only the 'Kyoto Vice King' Miyoshi Chokei, who has just unified.

Seeing that he finished sighing, a friend asked: "The world is still early away from Taiping, but after that townsman comes back, what should we do?" ”

"If he is interested and does not come to us for trouble, he will send him some money and food, and send some men to serve in the village."

It's no wonder that Misawa Zuobei was careless, no one could have imagined that Gao Shisheng wanted to exterminate his family. After all, the contradiction between the two is just a quarrel at the Zhuang assembly, and it is not like the wealthy family, obstructing the disaster relief in the township, or even expelling the acting official by force, no matter who it is, I am afraid that there is nothing wrong with what he did.

If Gao Shisheng is really like what he said - just a famous child who doesn't know the world, then in the end, even if the lawsuit hits Junfu, it is nothing more than to compensate some money, and this matter can be revealed.

It's a pity that Gao Shisheng is a person with "great ambitions", and he is not only eyeing the property of the Misawa clan, but also the more than 200 tribesmen in the settlement. Born in this troubled era of the Warring States, even if it is not for the sake of 'great ambitions', as an acting official, he should gather the crowd to form a party, impeachment and suppress the lawless tyrants under the rule, in addition to the need for money and food, the most important thing is that the population is strong.

Money and grain can be snatched skillfully, but the young and strong labor will not appear out of thin air, the people of the Haoyou country may be able to tolerate the loss of some money, but they will definitely not give up the population under their control, Gao Shisheng has no ability or courage to compete with the real samurai to compete for the good people, then he has to retreat and seize the control of the tribal untouchables in the hands of Misawa Left Guard.

·······

While Misawa Zuobei was drinking with his friends, hundreds of armor-clad bannermen rushed to the unsuspecting villages.

There are three people who take the lead, one is Hamana Nobuyin, the other is Yamauchi Tongju, and finally Gao Shisheng who plans to exterminate the clan.

A small half of the ashigaru is the flag team brought by Nobu Hamana from the gunji, and most of the rest are the wealthy Lang party in Hongo. On the grounds that 'the Misawa clan is entrenched in the township, there are many Lang parties, and they have always been light and brave, and there are many outlaw thieves who are hiding in the villages, and it is difficult to complete the pacification due to insufficient troops', Hamana Nobuyi personally stepped forward and dispatched troops led by the three families of Hamana, Ishimatsu, and Oi in the township to send troops to assist, while Takashi Sheng was accompanied by the Hasegawa and Nagata families to summon the Lang party to accompany him to protect his own safety.

Several tribesmen guarding the door, seeing hundreds of ashigaru slaughtering violently, were stunned, and had never seen so many thieves, daring to loot the village in the open, and the organic spirit recognized the ashigaru on the flag, the left three barbas of the famous family, woke up, I am afraid that disaster is coming, and hurriedly commanded to close the gate.

Nobuya Hamana drew his sword and pointed at it, shouting: "The thieves dare to resist stubbornly, who will take it down with me!" ”

There are two people who are good at shooting with long arms in the flag, one is Kamihara Shiqing, who is good at using bows and arrows, and the other is Date Muzuna, who is good at throwing iron spears, and the two are ordered, dial the horses and go first, at this time, the ashigaru team is still dozens of steps away from the village gate, and it is too late to catch up on foot, so I saw Kawara Shiqing drawing arrows in his hand, shooting with a bow, and trying to cover the door on the left side of the tribesmen, the arrows covered their wounds and screamed again and again. Date Sotsuna picked up a short-handled iron spear hanging from the side of the saddle and threw it with a roar, and the iron spear sank with great force, piercing through his chest, and killed him on the spot.

Seeing this, the remaining tribesmen were terrified, where did they dare to stay longer, turned around and ran to the door, shouting along the way, reminding the villagers to close the door to defend themselves, and when they heard the alarm, someone in the village immediately pulled the bell to signal that a thief had broken in.

Yamauchi Tong judged to take down the gate, and said to Hamana Nobukin: "Although the Misawa clan Lang party is numerous, most of the people in the village are good, this time the thief is captured, there are many miscellaneous soldiers in the township, and the military discipline is loose. ”

Nobumi Hamana nodded and said, "That's how it should be!" ”

These words, not only to Hamana Shin personally listened, but also to warn the wealthy families who followed on both sides, sure enough, Ishimatsu Toyohisa and others were all in a cold sweat, terrified, how could they not have thought that only half a month had passed, and the Misawa clan, which had been rampant in the township for more than a hundred years, was suddenly about to be exterminated by the county guard.

What they expected was that it was Gao Shisheng who finally said that he would move the county guard, and Asahina Motocho, as the genealogy of the Imagawa clan, would not punish the illegal things of the countrymen, but he could not catch them all. In the end, without much consideration, he agreed to the strategy of 'destroying one family name and deterring the cunning'. In addition, because of the lack of money in the county, he originally planned to send troops to blackmail the Nagata family, but the Nagata family took the initiative to offer money and food, but there was no excuse to plunder again.

At the same time, Asahina Motocho was not a person who tolerated and connived at the traitors, as Gao Shisheng said, it is not a crime to serve as a lowly servant, so he allocated 30 people to Ashigaru, so that the general of the army, Hamana Nobu, was under the command of the army, Gao Shisheng was the deputy, and Yamauchi was sentenced to the goal, and he rushed to the village, according to the list on the complaint, to arrest and interrogate the crime.

Yamauchi shook off his robe, stood upright with his sword, and instructed his attendants to unfold the county order, and instructed: "Hida Mamoru, please lead someone to arrest Misawa Ichi." Right guard, please bring someone inside to monitor the lawlessness, if there are miscellaneous soldiers who dare to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, I allow you to cut it first and then play! I am here with all my countrymen, waiting for the two of you to return. ”

Hamana Xinqin and Gao Shisheng agreed in unison, and each led people to act separately. Up to now, 100 people have been shouting and shouting, and the movement is very loud, which has alarmed many villagers, and when they heard the guards shouting, many families have pushed fences, blocked roads, and armed with bows and guns, and hid behind wooden barriers to gather people to protect themselves.

Buraku villages are not allowed to set up walls, but for hundreds of years, there has been a unique way to prepare for thieves, and the houses are all bungalows, nearly a foot high, and the alleys are fifteen steps wide.

The tribesmen suddenly saw so many armored, fierce and vicious Ashigaru broke into the village, needless to say, some people even thought wildly, thinking that Junfu was going to send troops to slaughter the village, for a while women and children wept, crying and shook the sky, and the young Zhuang climbed high to shoot arrows and throw stones to resist Ashigaru entering.

As soon as Gao Shisheng entered the laneway, he didn't wait to show his intentions, and he was forced by a burst of arrows and stones, but fortunately he was wearing a big armor this time, and he was not injured, so he retreated in embarrassment, hiding behind the wooden card, and shouted loudly: "Folks, don't panic, I am the high-level Shisheng of the local township, Misawa Left Soldier resisted Junfu, trying to incite a rebellion, and the soldiers of the county are so strong that they will destroy the violence, and they only need to guard the door, don't ······resist from the thieves."

Before he finished speaking, the high houses on the left and right sides threw down a burst of throwing stones, forcing Gao Shisheng and the others to retreat with their heads in their hands, not daring to go forward, obviously the people in this alley did not need him to worry about safety.

Compared with Gao Shisheng and others, the military service of the people who have been robbing the people for many years is much more sophisticated. The samurai of each family were armed with spears in their hands, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and pounced viciously on the arrows. The timid tribesmen scattered and fled home; A brave and brave man, he will not retreat from the fight. For a while, the calls were repeated and the fighting continued.

Gao Shisheng led Aoki Daizen, Kitano Manjiro and others, and took the two selected warrior Lang parties of the Nagata Mori clan and Hasegawa Hayato, and ran all the way, most of the alleys were well guarded, and a few did not have time to close the fence, or were attacked and defended by Ashigaru.

As soon as he passed by an alley full of corpses, he heard a few terrible cries in the distance, he frowned and said, waved his hand and ordered the two Lang Dang who followed behind him, and said: "Go in and have a look, you are only allowed to grab things, and you are not allowed to kill people and set fires!" ”

This is Gao Shisheng's bottom line, these tribesmen will be the capital he relies on in the future, although now it seems that even if the Misawa sect is exterminated, these tribesmen will only hate themselves. In the troubled times of the Warring States, if you want to do something without killing people and setting fires, it is simply a strange story, the ashigaru people take the people, and the people fall into the hunt and defeat of the soldiers, just as Misawa Zuobei said, there is no good or evil, right or wrong, the world is all evildoers in the previous life, and this life is only going to be killed by this Shura, karma, there is no evidence.

He will not hypocritically deny it, he never expected this situation, and he will not say anything to change this, the chaotic times of the Warring States period, which are bizarre, people, ghosts and demons, mixed together, he has long forgotten the past of his previous life, and only knows that he is the Gao clan of the Yuanjiang country in this life.

Self-aware people know that he is not a smart person, but he knows that he thinks that he does not have the ability to change the world, so he will go with the flow, change himself, let himself adapt to this world, he believes that he will be able to live to the end, see the day when the world is peaceful, and then die in bed with a smile, surrounded by children and grandchildren, swallow the last breath.

Ono Tadaaki ran back and said, "Gosa! Something happened! This Ueno monk, with a hideous face, seems to remember the tragedy he suffered in the temple for many years.

"What's wrong?"

"The Lang Party of the Ishimatsu clan, a samurai killed someone."

Afraid of something, Gao Shisheng's heart sank suddenly. He pretended to be quiet: "Take me to see!" ”

In the alleys, in the houses, there was a mess, and the miscellaneous soldiers on the narrow roads came and went, looting, and rushed into the yards and longhouses when they saw them. Rummaging through boxes and cabinets, things are thrown all over the floor. There were still people living in a courtyard passing by, an old couple, huddled in the corner, the old man hugged his son who was killed by a knife, closed his eyes and chanted, and the old woman screamed and cried at Ashigaru, who was rummaging for money: "Kill me!" You killed me! But in the face of the bright knives and guns, he didn't dare to rush forward.

Gao Shisheng stopped and asked, "Is this the case?" ”

"No, I just asked, his family is also a member of the Misawa family, and he encouraged the villagers to resist."

Gao Shisheng is noncommittal about this set of rhetoric, he can frame indiscriminately, and naturally the ashiki can too, so as not to go to the fire and a group of friendly troops for the sake of a dead man, although he is very disdainful of the behavior of this group of miscellaneous soldiers, but Ci is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth, which is why Yamauchi is unwilling to bring people in himself and come in to supervise the military law.

At the same time, it is also necessary to let Gao Shisheng take a good look, because of his false accusations, how many people will die, and use the tragic situation of reality to warn him to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to abuse the punishment.

This is the area where the Shi Song family is responsible for attacking, so the money after the people take it only belongs to the Shi Song family, and along the way, only the ashigaru with the stone pine pattern is seen, and when Gao Shisheng arrived, the soldier in charge of the command, Cao Date Sozuna, had already arrived first.

The two ashigaru pressed the murderous samurai to the ground, and in the corner of one side, a family of three lay down on the corpse and wept bitterly, which made Gao Shisheng think of Yun Shouni's mother and daughter who begged him to punish the murderer severely in the 'Zonglun' case, feeling guilty and pretending to turn a blind eye.

Seeing Gao Shisheng coming, Date Zonggang hurriedly saluted respectfully, not only the identity of Gao Shisheng's military eyes, but also the reason why Date Clan's official career in Junfu was far inferior to Gao's.

The Suruga Date clan is one of the branches of the Date clan, and when the new policy was established, the ancestor Date Keizune joined the Ashikaga Army, and was given the title of Suruga Mountain Villa, and the Imperial Family Date Tibetan Goro, who also followed Imagawa Fan Kuni and the Ryori, was active in the lawsuit surrounding the local samurai's Zhixing, but what is more bizarre is that the Date clan has not been able to receive the credit of the Sunfu, and the status is far inferior, and only later moved to Enoe, and even fought against the Imagawa family's Gao clan.

"Saemon-sama, what's wrong?" Gao Shisheng and he both served in Junfu and had some communication with each other, so they didn't shout and kill when they came up, but pretended not to know, shouted each other's common names, and asked politely.

"The subordinates are not well supervised, so that the subordinates kill innocent people indiscriminately." Not only was this person killed indiscriminately, Date Sotsuna said lightly: "This thief, adultery is not allowed, killing people's lives, I am about to wait for the war, and I will send him to military justice for punishment." "In fact, if it weren't for the monk Ueno and leading people to break in and block it, I'm afraid this family of four would have been slaughtered long ago to cover up the crime.

Gao Shisheng turned his head to look, and sure enough, the deceased was a young woman, not to mention that she was not in good clothes, she was about to be stripped naked, and she couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows and said angrily: "Such a beast, why use the judgment and interrogation, come to me, cut off her head and hang the flagpole to warn you!" ”
