Chapter 40: How dare you forget the oath of the past

These rewards, worth a total of more than 3,000 yuan, are said to be given to Gao Shisheng, a famous samurai, but in fact, only one-third of them are at Gao Shisheng's disposal, and they also include the rewards of the Hirayama Party under his command.

The remaining 2,000 kan were a reward for the unrelenting Takeda army and Iyi people in Taiheiji Temple.

These rewards were carefully calculated and distributed to no one, and compared to the bloody battles of the soldiers, thousands of dollars and food, and hundreds of pieces of ordnance, which were really unsatisfactory. What's more, the Takeda family's pension doesn't know when it will be issued, but compared to the other two friendly forces fighting side by side, it is already an excellent treatment. There's no way to delve into it like this, just know it in your heart, and you don't have to dwell on it too much.

After looking at the bounty, all that remains is the list of the dead, which is something that cannot be escaped no matter what.

More than 400 people from the Pingshan Party went into battle, and more than half of them were killed in the battle. Very few people can recover the whole body, and the 200 people who followed Gao Shisheng were either burned to ashes by the fire of the Yumingchuan camp, or in the bloody battle in front of Taiping Temple, only the remains remained. The remaining miscellaneous soldiers who remained in the Asahina military camp did not escape, and in the process of resisting the filling of the trenches, dozens of people were pushed into the ditch and buried alive by the sand without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The corpses that were collected were all cremated and sealed in an urn because they were to be transported back to Yuanjiang for burial, and when they returned to their hometowns, they were enshrined in the Zenko Temple, and the monks were invited to spend their days over.

Looking at the names on the military service account that were ticked off by the Zhu pen, how many of them were known to Gao Shisheng, even if they got along for a short time, but people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? When he saw only half of it, he couldn't bear to mourn, so he threw down the scroll, hid his face and wept bitterly, and tears rained down.

The people in the tent also looked indifferent and sobbed. Especially the Hasegawa Hayabusa and the Nagata Mori clan, there are very few people from the Lang Dang clan who can survive death.

The relationship between the two of them and these deceased is even deeper, all of them are relatives and friends, Xiao Heiji, who once delivered food to Hasegawa's family, was trampled to death in the chaos in order to rescue his childhood friends who were deeply besieged.

Hasegawa Hayabusa is domineering, often bullying people when he fights in the township, but he is very responsible in a group of accomplices, his father Hasegawa Mototada learned that his son in Kawanaka Island successively begged for more than ten samurai, probably overjoyed, and Hasegawa Hayato thought of the original unintentional words, it was really a prophecy, for his personal wealth, so that many years of friends and friends were all killed, but he himself lived alone, guilt welled up in his heart, for a while, howling and crying, I don't know what face to return to Yuanjiang.

In the end, it was the high master Shengqiang who endured the pain and persuaded everyone, "People cannot be resurrected after death, and everyone dedicates their lives to supporting the Dharma and dies as they deserve. ”

He took the book and said, "I swore to you before the camp that I would divide all that I had equally, but now it is time for me to come and fulfill my promise." ”

-------------------------------------

There has never been loyalty in the world for no reason, so Gao Shisheng, who knew this truth well, was still a little sluggish, but he still endured the discomfort, supported the injured body that had not healed, sat on the soft couch, and continued to hold a military meeting, and sent the reward down before returning to Yuanjiang to appease the army.

In the afternoon of the same day, all the remnants of the three families were assembled, together with the 200 miscellaneous soldiers of Pingshan Township who had stayed in the camp before and the newly recruited brave warriors, a total of more than 400 people, lined up in groups, the flags fluttered in front of each team, the lookout platform was erected in front of the school field, and several big drums were behind them, and the drummers raised their hammers with their arms and arms, and the drums were slow and powerful.

Gao Shisheng threw off Oi Mori Chao, who wanted to support him, and slowly stepped onto the stage, accompanied by Aoki Daizen, Hayato Hasegawa, Nagata Mori, Ono Tadaaki, Naito Mitsuhide, Fujido Toraka, and Ii Naokin. Everyone pressed their swords in their hands, leaned against the flag behind them, held their heads high, and were well armored and armored.

Sixty members of their team lined up in the audience, many of them were wounded, and even had broken arms and blind cripples, they were all real warriors who followed Gao Shisheng from Yumingchuan all the way to the front of the Changwei Zhengjing Formation, since they promised to include them in the Lang Party, they naturally would not abandon them because they were disabled.

Gao Shisheng stood in the middle of the lookout, and the surviving remnants of the soldiers were routed, lined up in two columns according to the formation. The warm sun was shining on the head, and the mountain wind turned smaller, sweeping away the winter chill, and compared with the bloody battle of the previous days, it was suddenly separated from the world.

Gao Shisheng stood silent for a moment, and the whole army was silent with spears like a forest.

"A few days ago, the Vietnamese thieves took advantage of our unpreparedness to attack. Unexpectedly, the providence of heaven is on me, first all the kings fought to the death with me, and then heard that the Bodhisattva of Wisdom sent down the decree, all because of our piety and goodness, and we worked together to punish the enemies of the Buddha. At that time, the thieves shook the sky, and the soldiers took the lead in the sword, and occasionally the dead scrambled to support the Dharma, and the Venerable Master said, 'Kindness is the cause of goodness, and thinking about evil things is also caused by bad karma'. As far as I can see, although all the kings are armed with swords to live and kill, they still have the heart of the Buddha, and those who are in distress can enter the Pure Land of Bliss and become Buddhas. It is only in this way that he can urge three times in a row, and the thief runs with his head in his hands, panicking and frightened like a tiger dog. ”

After summing up the battle of Taiping Temple, he paused, and raised his voice, "Set the wisdom of the Bodhisattva to descend the power of the Buddha, bless our army, bless us!" However, breaking the enemy in battle and fighting to the death without retreating is all due to you! Without your loyalty and bravery, there would be no good reward for our army's support of Buddhism. Ladies and gentlemen, reward loyalty and bravery, since ancient times, those who have merit are rewarded, and those who have no merit are rewarded. The previous bloody battle of loyalty and righteousness will be vividly remembered, and I dare not forget to cut my arms and blood with you in front of Yuming River, point to the sky and swear an oath, and promise to live and die together and share wealth and prosperity! ”

Speaking of this, Master Gao shouted loudly, "Where is the pen!" ”

Nagata Mori stood up and stood out, "The subordinates are here!" ”

"Facing the enemy in battle, slashing the enemy, and helping our army win a big victory with strange strategies, this is a gun skill, how should I reward it?"

"Those who do a lot of gun skills cannot be routinely rewarded, and the lord will have the right to temporarily record a reward, and a reward of 100 gold, give the name of the family Miao characters, and include the samurai retainers."

As the first person to receive the reward, Gao Shisheng specially ordered him to expose his upper body when he received the merit. It was midday when the weather was getting warmer and not too cold. Hokusho Manjiro was the first to fight, and his body was scarred. He had been practicing kendo with Aoki Daizen for a long time, and he was burly, majestic and strong, standing on the platform, his spirit was even more invigorated, and the two flags wanted to help him, but he was pushed away and stood proudly on the lookout.

Gao Shisheng and Beizhuang Manjiro have not known each other for a long time, but they are like-minded, and the so-called dumping is the same. He ordered someone to bring sake from the audience, poured it himself, sighed a lot, and said to the army, "There are no less than 20 wounds on the body of Hokusho Manjiro, except for arrow wounds, all of which are in front of the chest and arms, and none of them are behind. How can such a loyal person be committed to the head of a district? Manjiro is really a man of righteousness and loyalty in our army, and I hope you can take him as a model, if everyone can do this, our army will be able to run rampant in the world. Don't talk about surviving in troubled times, everyone, it is easy to take glory and wealth. ”
