Chapter 59 The lack of food in the city is chaotic
In this battle during the day, you come and go, so it can be regarded as a draw.
Shaotian Shigetaka, who had just killed the hermits in the city, was even more restless than the Imagawa army outside the city, looking at the letters of persuasion to surrender, he only felt that the Beixin Hao clan in the city, and even most of the miscellaneous soldiers and people in the city who could not understand the persuasion letters, had the possibility of rebellion and rebellion.
The cleansing of the Pure Land Shin sect disciples and the ninjas of the Toyin people in the city was not to decipher the code words in the letter of persuasion, but to have a plan for a long time. As soon as he got the news of the rebellion of Renshoji Temple, he began to take precautions, fearing that someone would really open the gate of the city to lead the Imagawa army in.
Gao Shisheng's letter of persuasion was just an excuse for him, although he firmly believed that the Huyin people would inevitably sell the city and surrender, but in the eyes of the other wealthy clans of Anyun County who retreated into the city and held on, this was not the case.
But after really taking the lead and killing all the hidden people without any search or interrogation, Shaotian Shigegao found that the eyes of the Beixin Hao clan looking at him were full of vigilance, vigilance and serious distrust.
Even though he regretted acting so hastily in his heart, he had no choice but to send it, and still kept it unchanged according to the original plan, forcing the rest of the wealthy clans to lead troops to search for the remnants of the hidden people as a guard.
In the inner town of the city, a team of people started in unison, breaking into each house like a wolf, holding knives and guns, and searching the whole day.
Shinjin Shigenari commanded the search and arrest loudly, and kept teaching many ashigaru "These ninjas are good at hiding and lurking, you don't just look at whether there is anyone outside, go inside, see if there is a hiding place like a cellar!" Look carefully to find the thief! Take all the food you find with you, and if you can't find it, you'll starve tonight!! ”
The people in the town did not dare to stop them, so they swallowed their anger, the old people knelt down and kowtowed and begged, and the women and children cried endlessly.
Xiao Yantong Shenggui, who followed the arrest of the rebellious party, couldn't bear to witness the tragic situation of the people, and sighed secretly. He asked from his younger brother Xiaoyan Tongshengtong, "Big brother, what are you sighing for?" ”
Xiaoyan Tongsheng Gui saw that there was no one left and right, but said, "The sage of Qinluan compiled the "Strange Sigh Copy" to teach the world, abandon evil and follow good, and turn to the right path. We waited for the army to respond to the lord's expulsion of Takeda, it was to revive the name of the Nishina family, but first there was a land to ask for help from the thieves of Echigo, and the existing Shaotian family used the excuse of arresting the rebellious party and robbing the old people of my Nishina family, which is the crime of my two brothers! The sin of you and my brothers! ”
Xiaoyan Tong Shengtong was full of indifference, lowered his voice, and replied carefully, "There is little food in the city, only less than ten days of food left, and the eldest brother is not ignorant, if he does not rob the food stored in the homes of the people in the city, what will the soldiers who defend the city eat?" In the final analysis, this is all the bad karma created by the Imagawa army outside the city, and we have no choice but to do it. ”
The situation is stronger than people, the defenders and nearly 3,000 people gathered in the city, there is no food, how can they eat if they don't rob it? The army plundered the people in the city, and it was also a last resort.
Even if they didn't rob, wouldn't the displaced people who had escaped from the Imagawa army and entered the city loot? The garrison will manage and distribute it in a unified manner, and at least it can hold out for a few more days, otherwise the displaced people and the people will fight because of the grabbing of food, and then I am afraid that there will really be no way to defend the city.
A team of Ashigaru under the banner of the Shinjin family's 'three eagle feathers' stacked the grain they had just grabbed on top of the cart and shouted as they passed by.
Xiao Yan Tong Sheng Gui wanted to speak and stopped, simply waved his hand and took his younger brother and subordinates to the next place to search for the remnants of the hidden people, he is also a disciple of the Pure Land Shin Sect, betrayed the status of the Takeda family's retainers, and responded to the Nishina Ichichi army launched by the descendants of the main family in the past, as the inner Ying Kaijo, it was persuaded by the lecturer of the Lotus Temple to switch to the 'righteous path'.
Now, Lianshoji Temple, who took the initiative to crusade against Takeda, is trapped outside the city, and his brother is besieged inside the city for following the 'righteous path', and he may be beheaded at any time.
I can't help but be frightened and helpless in my heart, Shaotian Shigetaka can send troops to kill the hidden people and the group of speakers without actual evidence, and it may not be impossible to eradicate his two brothers together, and the ashigaru of the Koiwa Tong team is mostly the Takeda army that was forced to surrender at the beginning.
Who dares to guarantee that no one will be forced by the Imagawa army to slaughter the city and really gather a crowd to cause chaos?
Originally, he also wanted to suggest that Shaoda Shigetaka break up these subdued Takeda troops and split them into other reserves, but now he didn't even dare to mention them, but he still tried his best to maintain these ashigaru.
Xiaoyan Tong Shenggui may not care much about these people being robbed, but Qingzhuang defended the city in the Tiger Out Pill Association, and his relatives living in the inner city were robbed, what should he do if he mutinied?
In addition, the hermits were slaughtered just because they were suspected of having internal communication. Let him rush to the rabbit and die fox sorrow, after all, as the Takeda family used to be a samurai in the past, the possibility of his two brothers selling the city to survive is far greater than that of just ordinary people.
The reason why the Togakushi people were killed was that they received a letter of persuasion from Yorishi Kei, the official of the Lotus Temple, so it seems that the samurai of the whole city are suspected of rebellion, and for a time the people of the non-Shaotian faction are in danger, and it is not Koiwa Tongsheng himself who is worried about this.
After all, the two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years of blood feud, contradicting each other, and even far more than the Takeda family, who had killed the Imagawa army outside the city and even killed the Takeda family many times in Kita-Shinano.
The premeditated rebellion of the Huyin people cannot be said to be a complete matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, but in the serious eyes of the Beixin Hao clan such as Xiaoyan Tong Shenggui, it will become a 'punishment of innocence', and while eliminating the risk of the fall of the city, it will inevitably bring about the consequences of the Beixin Hao clan and the Shaotian army being separated from Germany
After the group of ashigaru who were called searching for the rebels and actually looting all dispersed, the paving planks in a dilapidated longhouse were quietly lifted, and several panicked ninjas carefully pushed open the door and took advantage of the darkness to touch the direction of the low wall of Uchinomaru.
No matter where they were, the ninjas were scattered and secretly stationed, except for the leader and leader who were deceived by Shaoda Shigetaka and killed at the beginning, most of the rest of the shinobi relied on their own vigilance, evacuated in advance, and hid in hidden corners of the city.
Subsequently, all over the city, dozens of ninjas sneaked out of various hidden corners one after another, fleeing towards the dark roads that had long been discovered, and many of them were discovered, and the shouts of killing were endless for a while.
Most of the people who launched the pursuit were the ashigaru of the Shaotian army, while the Beixin Hao clan raised their noble hands, pretended not to find out, spared these ninjas a way out, and even simply gathered them to protect them, and used the opportunity of patrolling and chasing them to cover their escape from the city.
If the Toyin people are really the internal response of the Imagawa army, they can still rely on this kindness after breaking the city to beg for surrender to the Imagawa army outside the city through them and escape the catastrophe; If the hermits are simply wronged, it is only natural to rescue them.
At this time, most of the hermits escaped safely and fled to the Imagawa military camp outside the city.
