Chapter 40: What is the fear of the Dharma protection

Kitashiro Moritada rode his horse, followed by Shimazaki Keinobu, Nagaoka Uemon, the Hirayama Party, and the samurai of the Triparta, looking out at the encircled residence, and waiting for the military order to arrive.

Yadakan was next to Nakasenji Temple, and Shimazaki Keishinobu and many other envoys, all riding Shinano horses, soon followed the Huimi group to guard the various intersections of the town, and only waited for the rear team to follow up on foot, and then they could start besieging the residence.

The samurai guarding the back of the Yada Pavilion and behind the side courtyard wall came to report that "the thieves in the pavilion climbed the wall and held a bow and a gun, as if they were stubbornly resisting." ”

Yada Sakujuro wants to resist stubbornly, but what can he do? Now that the army has surrounded his house, and the city gate has been sealed, he will fly with wings and arrows from the sky.

Beizhuang Shengzhong looked forward to the distance, and saw that in the courtyard near the town, many people climbed up to overlook, or went out to watch, and said in his heart, "After all, the Yada family is the official of the Pure Land Shinzong, and there are many friends in the city, and there must be its disciples among the onlookers, if it is delayed for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that the people will not be incited to rescue, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be a negative credit of Musashi Mamoru!" ”

The army besieging the house was no more than 100 people, and with the addition of these already present Huimi groups, there were only 150 people, and it was indeed more than enough to attack the hall and capture Yada Ichi, but if the people in the town were instigated by it to cause a rebellion, it would not be so easy to suppress them together.

He immediately made a decision, and before receiving the order from Gao Shisheng, he gave up his attempt to persuade the other party to take the initiative to come out and ask for surrender, and ordered sharply, "Go and call the door again!" If the door is not opened, they will lead someone to storm it. ”

Nagaoka Uemon received the order, and the horse came to the door with more than 20 ashigaru, raised his voice into the door, and shouted vigorously, "I am hereby ordered by the Musashi judge to invite the officials and prison in the Nakkaizumi Temple to come for a while to talk about Buddhism, why don't you open the door quickly to greet us?" ”

shouted on both sides in a row, and no one in the Yada Pavilion accosted anyone, let alone dared to open the door to let in such a group of murderous troops.

Just as Nagaoka Uemon raised the sword in his hand, he wanted to make people attack head-on.

A voice came from inside the door: "The official of this workshop and the judge of your family are both disciples of the Pure Land, and they first sent troops to attack the Buddhist temple of my family, thinking that the gods and Buddhas are angry, why do you want to send people to force each other now?" "The person who spoke was none other than Sakujuro Yada.

Beizhuang Sheng Zhongle immediately stepped forward and replied in a loud voice, "Why did Yada Fang Guan say this, it is precisely because my Musashi Judge is practicing under the seat of the Venerable Master of the Empty Oath with you, the Fang Guan, that he sent us to invite him to come and understand the subtleties of Buddhism together. ”

Yada Sakujuro already knew that the people outside the door led troops to surround his residence on all sides, and I was afraid that it would not be so easy to kill it, so he was angry in his heart under the strong pressure inside the door, and asked loudly, "Could it be that if you lead troops to invade the temple and kill the monks, is your Musashi judge's way of worshipping Buddha not successful?" ”

Kitasan Moritada knew Yada Sakujuro when he was an errand boy at the Hirayama Cottage, and even though he couldn't see the figure through the door, he recognized the identity of the other party just by the voice of the other party's voice.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, he gave Gao Shisheng the sword that commanded the army, raised it high, and scolded loudly, not only to urge the troops under his command to fight hard, but also to deter the nearby onlookers.

"Yada Sakujuro, the official of the Zenshu Temple, has committed the great crime of 'making a noise in the sect', and now Judge Musashi has specially ordered me to come and condemn this bold fanatic who disturbed the law of Sunfu, and if anyone dares to help him resist the law of Sunfu, he will be punished as the same crime, and you should not quickly enter the museum and arrest him."

Yada Sakujuro never imagined that Gao Shisheng really dared to send someone to arrest his guts, and scolded angrily, "I am a person who is a monk and enjoys the right of 'non-entry' of the shogunate!" Not to mention that Gao Shisheng is such a small 'evil official', even the governor of the Imagawa clan of Junfu is not qualified to convict me! ”

Then he threatened the military outside the door and said, "You should know that I am a disciple of the Master of the Empty Oath of the Abbot of this Temple, if you dare to help the evil officials and abuse me, sooner or later you will not escape the suffering of sinking to the six realms and falling into hell eighteen times!" ”

The words of the gods and Buddhas are deeply rooted in the hearts of the world's people, and when they heard Yada Sakujuro scolding and threatening like this, many Ashigaru who believed in the Pure Land Shinshu showed hesitation and surprise on their faces.

Beizhuang Shengzhong was not afraid, sneered, and said loudly, "My Musashi judge is the reincarnation of an arhat under the seat of the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, and he has the blessing of Buddhism. I only know the military orders of the Musashi judge, so why not be afraid of the false words and intimidation of you, an evil monk! ”

Sitting on the horse, he drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed straight at the door of the pavilion, and shouted, "If you don't attack it yet, take down the thieves in the middle, when will you wait?" ”

Yada Sakujuro did not have many monks and soldiers left in the residence, only about 20 people, and although the Lang party under the Hao clan who was trapped together was numerous, they did not dare to fight against the army outside the gate.

In addition, Beizhuang Shengzhong brought people to come very quickly, and he followed closely behind the monk who reported the news, but in a hurry, he had no time to guard at all, and he was not an opponent of the military outside the door at all.

The wealthy people in the museum did not want to sit still, and they wanted to climb over the wall with their respective entourage, and a burst of arrows shot several people down the wall, but there were still many people who were lucky enough to jump off safely, and fled to the outside of the museum in a mess.

Before the other party could react, more than a dozen well-ridden envoys stepped into battle, holding Zhusui guns, and killed from both sides of the gun array, directly taking down these deserters who wanted to turn around and return to Guanshiki on the spot.

The two orders from Gao Shisheng's side had not yet been delivered to Beizhuang Shengzhong's hands, and the door of the Yada Pavilion had already been breached.

When the people in the hall saw that this matter could not be resolved, they were even more terrified. Especially when the fang official Yada Sakujuro heard that Beizhuang Shengzhong had arrested him on the charge of 'sectarianism', he immediately understood that if this fell into the hands of Gao Shisheng, I was afraid that it would really be a catastrophe.

The horror in my heart can be imagined, where is there still the appearance of showing off his personal power in front of the wealthy families before, watching the door of the house being broken by the army outside the door, and retreating to the backyard under the cover of the monks.

After the army fighting on foot smashed open the gate, it was also under the order of the head of the soldiers, holding a sword and a short axe, holding a bamboo bundle of pieces, and the fish poured into a panicked hall.

No pop-ups
