Chapter 39 The name of the volunteer who died in battle

In the past few days, there have been three major events worth noting.

One was that at the urging of the shogunate envoys, Nagao Keitora and Takeda Shingen sank into the river and signed a peace treaty again with the existing territory as the boundary. The other was an uproar among Murakami's army, although it was quickly quelled. The last thing was that the long-tailed Jinghu sent an envoy to the camp to ask questions.

Of these three things, one is related to Gao Shisheng, and it is the last one.

In the joint battle to rescue Taiping Temple, Gao Shi Sheng made great contributions, so that Nagao Jinghu as the enemy general was also moved, when he learned that Gao Shi Sheng's knife was broken in the battle, he specially ordered someone to send a famous knife as a gift, and at the same time brought a 'bloodstained feeling'.

The 'blood-stained feeling' means that the main family will commend the loyalty, courage and righteousness of Zhu Juanwen, and at the same time, the merits of the recipient will be recorded in the family's 'valve reading book', which will be passed down from generation to generation. Takeda Shingen wrote three copies of the 'Bloodstained Feeling' in a row, which was not as heavy as the one brought by the long-tail Jinghu.

In normal times, it would have been impossible for such a samurai who escaped by luck to be famous in such a martial arts, but now, as in the past, it was a good time for Takashi to catch up, and the shogunate envoys were now urging peace on Kawanakajima.

Although his own military exploits were due to the soldiers, after all, he was born in a serious samurai family of Genji, and he was also a retainer of the Imagawa clan, and in order to dilute the reputation that they were forced to retire because of the disadvantage of the joint battle, the two families vigorously advocated the loyalty and courage of the soldiers on both sides in the battle of Taiheiji.

Gao Shisheng is the most impressive samurai, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the generals on both sides use beautiful words.

No matter what inhumane reasons it was, at the same time, he was recognized by the generals of both the enemy and us, so that Gao Shisheng suddenly changed from a nobody to a fierce general who was famous in the eight states of Kanto.

Coupled with the mad ghost fighting on the battlefield, not only the soldiers of the Nagao Army were terrified, but even the soldiers in the Imagawa Army were afraid of Gao Shisheng like a tiger and did not dare to live with him in the same battalion, so that Asahina Shinji set up a separate battalion to house the surviving remnants of Taihei Temple.

It makes him quite a demeanor that Gao Shitai defeated the former Hojo clan army in the first battle of Musashino, and the heroes of Kanto did not dare to look up, and his prestige in the army has risen greatly.

When the soldiers talked about him, no one dared to call him by his name, and they all referred to him as Oni Musashi, and almost every day, there were wild samurai and evil party warriors of Shinano who knelt down to see him, hoping to be able to take refuge in the door and run for his life.

With these four 'blood-stained feelings', after returning to Sunfu Castle, the Imagawa family will also take out the gesture of rewarding famous samurai in order to win the hearts of the soldiers, and I think that they will soon be promoted, and if they can be appointed to inspect the non-violation, it will be a good thing for Gao Shisheng's future development.

First of all, the procurator is higher than the township official position, and from the bottom six, he is already a middle-level official. Secondly, the village is only a county office, and cannot go out of the county, and the prosecutor is the inspector, at least he can inspect a county, as long as the Junfu has an order, the entire Tokaido can be obtained, that is to say, Gao Shisheng can completely use the cruel methods of eradicating the Misawa clan, in the name of the Junfu picket, firmly control the counties and townships under his rule, constantly control the town, the merchant seat, expand the financial resources and soldiers, from passively dealing with the dead end of the battle of the barrel narrow, to actively seek a way to solve it.

Gao Shisheng is very grateful for Nagao Jinghu's 'blood-stained feeling' that elevates his martial name, of course, it would be great if he could send a large amount of money in one go like Takeda Shingen.

The current people in the camp are very mixed, including the military service members and samurai of Hirayama Township, the Lang clan members of the Hasegawa and Nagata families, the remnants of Takeda, the villagers of Iiya, and more of them are the people of Mikawa who fled to Yuanjiang because of war and famine and were finally forced to die by him.

When facing the enemy, no matter what their purpose is, but they always follow Gao Shisheng's banner to fight, then after the war, then he will not be stingy, let alone stingy.

The feudal order in which the Lang samurai offered their loyalty to the lord in exchange for blood-stained bounty began with the rise of the manor system, even before the Battle of Genpei.

The main reason for the uproar in Murakami's army was that Kikudo failed to deliver the promised rewards in time to the war. The three of Murakami Yoshikiyo did not dare to provoke the soldiers who gathered to make trouble, so they could only vent their anger on the people who did not stop the noise in the first place, and in front of the noisy soldiers, they beheaded more than a dozen people in a row, so that they could all be deterred.

Later, he borrowed a large amount of money from Asahiyama Castle and nearby temples and wealthy merchants, and gave it again as a gift, so he could barely suppress Ashigaru.

Gao Shisheng immediately thought that he was fulfilling it right away, and when he was in front of Yuming River, he swore an oath with everyone that all the rewards received after the war would be fully divided into the promises, otherwise there would be an embarrassing situation faced by Murakami Yoshikiyo, and the generals who lost their credibility and reputation would be reprimanded and questioned by the soldiers under his command.

The reason why it is easy to make promises but how difficult it is to keep them is often not because money is difficult to raise, but because of the greed of the human heart.

Because the Takeda family has many gold mountains in the country, the bounty offered in the joint battle is very rich.

"The gold produced in the country of Jiafei is mostly the gold judgment of Jiazhou, and the copper coins and grain are less, and the two cents of gold are awarded 200 pieces, and the silver sentence is 400, and the total amount of money and grain is 600 yuan. In addition, the Suwa clan, a wealthy clan of Shinano, also offered ten Shinano horses, a famous sword treasure, and a Suwa Damyojin banner to thank the soldiers for saving their lives. ”

Oi Shengchao held the account book in his hand, knelt beside the couch, and read in great detail: "According to the statistics of the villain and Youbi, there are as many as one hundred and thirty-two heads of the enemy samurai, and there are more than 600 levels of ashigaru. More than 1,300 pieces of coils, knives and guns were captured, nearly hundreds of items were armed in the Murakami barracks, and there were many siege equipment and 30 iron cannons. Speaking of this, he regretted that "it's a pity that the iron cannon is worn out, and there is a risk of exploding the chamber if used rashly." He added: "After all the seizures and inspections are completed, except for the necessary losses of our army, the rest will be sent to the Tambo guard office for unified care by the order of the soldiers." ”

Among the money and grain sent by the Takeda family, Gao Shisheng alone was rewarded with more than 1,000 silver and copper coins, not including war horses, famous swords, and captured weapons that were not converted into money.

Gao Shisheng was also slightly surprised, he never expected that one day he would have such a wealthy family, if it was calculated according to the money he received in Junfu, it would take about a hundred years to accumulate such a family wealth.

Thankfully, he never had the idea of breaking his word and getting fat.
