A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"I'm afraid Mikawa will be troubled from now on!" Xiao Pingtai said in a pretentious tone.

"The Anxiang Matsudaira clan also restrained the heroes of Nishi Mikawa thirty years ago. How come they are in chaos now?"

Matsudaira Kiyoyasu once raised an army to attack the Mikawa Kira clan, but the following rebelled and gathered several young men, such as the Okubo clan who joined Matsudaira Ieyasu this time as soon as he entered the country. He had the most basic element for establishing a basic political power - the Samurai Order.

With enough warriors, they can form a team, suppress village communities, collect annual tribute rice, organize labor, and intimidate Xiaoxiao.

Unless the samurai order suffers heavy losses, generally there will be no drastic changes in the rule of the daimyo. Of course, if something changes within the Samurai Order, no one can save it, so just wait for death.

"Back then, the Suruga Imagawa clan was behind Matsudaira's tranquility. Countless golden rice was not declining at all. But now, the Oda bomb behind Matsudaira Mikawa is being defeated in Kitai and is unable to send troops. "

"While you are sick, I will kill you!"

Koheita combined the previous memories, as well as Matsudaira Ieyasu's actions, and Oda Nobunaga's defeat, and could conclude that Mikawa Ichikui was bound to explode.

The anti-peace Matsudaira forces in Mikawa will unite together, with the Sakurai Matsudaira family as the banner, and set off a large-scale uprising that sweeps most of Mikawa.

On the surface, the Ichikoshu temple in Mikawa was dissatisfied with the new lord, Matsudaira Ieyasu's land inspection, but in fact, the Mikawa area was dissatisfied with Matsudaira Ieyasu's pro-Oda clan attitude.

Mikawa Kingdom fought for many years during the eras of Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, Imagawa Yoshimoto and Owari's Oda Nobhide. I don’t know how many people in the Mikawa Samurai Order died under Oda Nobuhide’s sword. There is an indelible blood feud between the two sides.

Now that Matsudaira Ieyasu is content to be Oda Nobunaga's backyard watchdog, except for some shameless people in the Mikawa Samurai Order, everyone else must be dissatisfied. Coupled with the trigger for large-scale land inspections, the entire Sanhe is now on the verge of breaking out.

"If nothing happens at home, this would be a good opportunity to intervene in Mikawa." Chief Yamauchi sighed.

"The world is unpredictable!" Kodaira didn't think so. Matsudaira Ieyasu survived this hurdle in the end. Not only did he directly control a large amount of territory, he also gained a group of extremely loyal retainers.

What's more, the Yamauchi family and the Matsudaira family are separated by the Higashi Mikawa people. Although Uden Nagateru and others are close to the Yamauchi family, they are just convinced by Yamauchi Yoshiharu. They have not become retainers, or even foreigners.

The Dongsanhe people are still independent people of the country and have all independent powers.

Maybe one day Yamauchi Yoshiharu dies, the Higashi Mikawa people will find a new owner, continue their free and independent life, and sell themselves for a good price.

Chief Accountant Yamauchi wrote down the two letters as well as his own and Koheita's opinions, and asked the Changzu people to send them to Komaba overnight so that Yamauchi Yoshiharu could review them at any time.

…

At this time, in the country of Mikawa, Matsudaira Ieyasu was raising troops in successive years and the country was in chaos. Matsudaira Ieyasu, who had seen the power of new weapons such as iron cannons and barrels, continued to find ways to raise funds, and even went so far as to frantically plunder the people under his command.

This land inspection was mainly to increase Matsudaira Ieyasu's economic income and to increase the available troops.

Xisanhe is different from Dongsanhe. The temples in Xisanhe mainly belong to the Yixiang sect, while the temples in Dongsanhe mainly belong to the Caodong sect. Each possesses a large amount of temple property and monk soldiers, and at the same time receives worship from local people and lords.

After years of fighting, Matsudaira Ieyasu forced Nishi Mikawa, who had huge wealth, to pay a temporary increase to the sect temple.

After weighing the matter, Mikawa Ichimumu agreed to pay a portion of the rice to Matsudaira Ieyasu. After all, there are not many daimyo who allow Yixiang Zong to preach at this moment. As the emerging lord of Xisanhe, Yixiang Zong is still in the stage of testing and making good friends.

But the bad thing is that the Ichigo clan let go. When the Matsudaira family samurai went to the Ichibo clan temple to collect rice grains, they found that the money and rice in the temple's rice warehouse were piled up like mountains, and the money they paid was only a drop in the bucket.

This made these little warriors who lived a poor life so angry that they couldn't control them at that time and wanted to take them all away. Originally, if they took a little more, the temple would turn a blind eye and pass by. Kickbacks are not unique anywhere.

But he wants all the samurai from the Matsudaira family!

Now the temple is no longer in business. This is the money they got from their hard work to deceive the believers. It did not fall from the sky. The monk soldiers and believers gathered together and drove away the Matsudaira samurai who came to collect food, which naturally angered Matsudaira Ieyasu.

He heard that there were mountains of money and rice in the temple, and the feudal lords gave full play to their subjective initiative, armed with swords, guns and iron cannons to force the temple to submit and hand over the money and rice.

There were farmers from various groups gathered in the temple. Matsudaira Ieyasu strictly inspected the land and confiscated most of the crops they relied on for survival, which was tantamount to forcing them to die.

Under the influence of many factors, the first temple set up the banner of "Those who enter will be reborn in bliss, those who retreat will be bound to hell." and "Namo Amitabha". Under the pressure of life or death, Zong Yikui was launched brazenly.

Under the connection and instigation of the monks of the Yixiang sect and the small land dissatisfied with the peaceful rule of the Matsudaira clan, the believers of the Yixiang sect and the farmers who were forced by exorbitant taxes and land inspections all mobilized overnight, took up arms, and fought for survival. struggle.

In the blink of an eye, the Ikaku swept through almost the entire Nishi Mikawa. The agency offices, official offices, offices, and inns set up by Matsudaira Ieyasu in local counties and villages were all violently attacked by the Ikoku people.

The entire Nishi Mikawa was on fire, and Matsudaira Ieyasu's grassroots rule was completely paralyzed. Warning signals from all directions reached Okazaki Castle, leaving young Matsudaira Ieyasu at a loss.

What is even more exaggerated is that many samurai and ashigaru who were originally stationed in Okazaki Castle went out of the city one after another, obeyed the call of gods and Buddhas, and took up weapons to fight Matsudaira Ieyasu.

All the anti-Ankyo Matsudaira forces in Mikawa merged together, and all the ambitious elements temporarily took refuge under the banner of the Ichigo clan, claiming to fight for the establishment of a "Buddhist Kingdom on Earth" and a "Country of Common People."

Caught off guard, Matsudaira Ieyasu didn't even have time to mobilize the troops around Okazaki Castle. He was horrified to find that the monk soldiers wrapped in monk's scarves were mixed with more rebellious peasant soldiers, holding Buddhist flags and chanting Buddha's names, surrounding the entire city. Okazaki Castle.

Looking at the troops surrounding the castle, they surrounded the city, one after another, one after another, densely packed and with astonishing momentum. At a rough glance, the number of people was no less than 20,000.

What's even more uncomfortable is that due to the participation of a large number of warriors, the military organization of Yikuozhong is completely different from the usual messy Yikuozhong, with numerous flags and dense arrays.

Matsudaira Ieyasu is in trouble!
