A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 468 27. The Four Rules of No Mercy

The fire burned until the sun was high in the sky, and it burned for a full six hours before it was about to collapse.

It was still too hot to stand a few hundred meters inside and outside the town, and there were still traces of fire on some ruins. A good gate town was burnt to the ground with no tiles left.

"Sure, do you want to send people first into the town to occupy every street corner?"

Imagawa Yoshiuchi looked at the ruins of Monzen Town, but he didn't sigh. Anyway, he didn't feel bad that it wasn't his own.

"Don't worry, it's too hot in the ruins. Anyway, we have no way to go. It won't take a while."

"If even Honjoji Temple is burned to the ground, I'm afraid Master Xianru in Namba Tsuishiyama Castle will hate you to the core!"

Is Koheita afraid of Honganji Hiro? If you were in Kinai or Hokuriku, you might be a little scared, but this is a Kaido place. Ise Nagashima seemed a bit far away, and I couldn't hit Koheita.

Let's talk about a certain turtle who destroyed Honganji Temple. You see, he didn't live a happy life. In the end, he played a set of Honganji Temple and gave them Honganji Kyoroku and Honganji Zururu. (This also includes Hideyoshi’s contribution)

"I don't know how many samurai have burned down temples. I am one of them. Even Yamakomoto Honganji Temple was burned down with a fire, and he didn't dare to do anything." Koheita acted calmly.

Of course, everyone knows that even the shogun Ashikaga Yoshitaka burned Mount Hiei, Takeda Harunobu invaded Suruga Province and even dared to attack Sengen Fuji Grand Shrine, and Uesugi Terutora swept away the great invasion of Amida Tathagata Zenkoji Temple.

It’s not the sect I believe in anyway, so it’s none of my business.

"Everyone, there may be a tough battle when we attack Honjoji Temple. Are the ladders and wooden hammers ready?"

All the generals responded in unison and nodded.

"At this moment, someone seems to have come out of the temple!" Aji had a white cloth wrapped around his arm and could no longer lift a knife to fight. For the time being, he stood beside Xiao Pingtai as a guard.

Xiaoping was so despised that he sent someone to beg for mercy at this time, but it was too late. If they had come earlier, in order to disgust Matsudaira Ieyasu, Koheita might have given them a relatively generous offer. Everyone sat down and talked peacefully, trying not to use weapons.

But now the Yamauchi army has lost one hundred and fifty men, which is already a huge loss. After so many people died, Koheita still peacefully negotiated peace with Honjoji Temple, and then there would be no way to lead the team. Maybe some family members of the soldiers would throw mud balls at Koheita when they returned to Hamamatsu Castle.

Konoe went up to stop the visitor, and Xiaopingta looked him up and down. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, a beard, a moon-shaped head, and lips that were not thin. He was a somewhat lucky person in terms of his face. He is not the kind of poor and miserable person who has a poor fortune and a short life, and there is no aura of poverty or poverty in his body.

The man called himself Osuga Yasunari, but he had no great reputation. However, the Osuga clan later followed Matsudaira Ieyasu and became a member of the clan, and the Edo shogunate did not leave him behind. I don’t know which branch of the Osuga clan this person belongs to, and whether he will do anything in the future. 【Note 1】

Uncle Tsunira asked Osuga Yasunari why others with higher status and more power than him didn't come, so he, a small local samurai, was asked to come.

Osuga Yasunari was a bachelor, and he was involved all the way up to his great-grandfather's generation. It is said that he is directly related to Uden Changteru's wife, so he is considered to be Uden Changteru's younger cousin.

Sure enough, one watch makes three thousand miles! No one in the tent understood what he was thinking.

But this is definitely true. The thirty-six families in Sanhe are worshiped by the public and have been intermarried for generations. The relationship has been very strong for the past three hundred years. There are also quite a lot of contacts between the various wealthy families in the country, and they are all from the same family.

How did Yudian Changzhao know this little cousin? He was also confused, so he turned to ask one of his old family members who his wife's great-grandfather was.

The family member said he was from his hometown, but he was actually only fifty years old. He closed his eyes and muttered for a while, then nodded, indicating that there seemed to be such a person.

Fine!

Now that it is confirmed that he is a little cousin, Osuga Yasunari's acting talent is perfect. His nose twitched and his eyes closed, and the emotions were brewing within ten seconds. He went up and hugged Uden Changteru's thigh.

"Brother, save me, brother, save me!" He screamed heart-piercingly and burst into tears.

"How's Yoshida-don?" Xiaopingta was about to cross his legs and peel melon seeds to watch this wonderful show of brothers recognizing each other.

How could Uden Changteru have this little cousin in his heart? He was doing a good job at the Yamauchi family. Why does Mao want to have a relationship with someone he has always been jealous of? It is still the same relationship as an old man.

But in full view of the public, it was difficult for him to have an attack. He also knew that since Benzheng Temple sent someone here, they would have to talk and deal with it perfunctorily.

"I'm just going to go to Benzheng Temple to act as an intermediary. What do you mean?"

Pushing aside his stinky brother who was kneeling on the ground, Uden Changteru stood up and asked for help.

"Okay, so what conditions did everyone in Benzheng Temple give you?"

"As soon as I tell everyone to disperse on the spot, accept the inspection and resettle the temple leaders, the money and rice will be two thousand each!"

"The conditions are not too bad. But now that my army is here, I can no longer agree to your request!"

Koheta suddenly stood up and pointed his green bamboo stick at Osuga Yasunari with a smile on his face.

"First, all the monks in the temple, all groups and groups, Yefu and other members should all leave the temple. Hand over all weapons and armor, and carry out the sword hunting order!

Second, everyone in the temple is only allowed to bring five days' worth of food with them out of the temple. All other public and private property is not allowed to be taken out, even extra clothes and straw sandals are not allowed to be taken out!

Third, all the bonds and real estate mortgage documents lent by Benzheng Temple over the years should be handed over to our army, and no secrets should be left out!

Fourth, the officials of Benzheng Temple in Benshan have evil intentions, coerce good intentions, resist the heavenly soldiers, and are treasonous. The temple will be confiscated immediately, expelled from the Three Rivers and One Country, and will not be allowed to enter again! "

Four words to describe it: cleanse yourself and leave home!

Not to mention Osuga Yasunari couldn't believe it, even Uden Nagateru couldn't believe it. How could he become a lobbyist under such conditions? There is absolutely no room for change in this thing, it is a dead order.

"Go back and tell everyone in the hall that these four items will be answered within half an hour. If you don't comply, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"Just convey it to Yoshida-don! There is no need to bear any burden."

How could Uden Nagasaki be prepared? Osuga Yasunari, who was half-dead with his life in hand, opened the tent and left the camp.

[Note 1]: The most famous of the Osuga family today is naturally Osuga Yasutaka. This real person, Sakai Tadanobu and his retainer, must have beaten Tokugawa Ieyasu. But he later surrendered again and became the lord of Yokosuka Castle. What is more famous is his adopted son Osuga Tadamasa (Masa), whose biological father is Sakakibara Yasumasa.

During the Edo shogunate period, the Osuga clan was first granted the title of Souri 30,000, and then Yokosuka 60,000. They were able to mix well among the clan generations. Osuga Tadamasa finally gave Miao the name Matsudaira, and he was respected as Matsudaira Dewa Mamoru.
