Kakugo Shichiro's Captain Saemon's arrow became the swan song of this funny beginning and ending funny, and Noguchi Shinjiro became a stroke in his battle book, obviously no one paid too much attention to how much this unfamous and somewhat idiotic person would bring him, but it also brought him good luck, at least the last time he got a big feat. The field battle of Matsushima Castle seemed extremely funny in the eyes of the Date army, but Matsushima Castle was lost in such a short period of time, and the horn of the Date army's large-scale invasion instantly resounded through the three counties of Toyu, Ushiya, and Kojima, and soon shocked the interior of Kanshoin Temple and Kanryuji Temple. According to the current situation, Matsushima Castle has been lost, and more than 2,000 believers who went to Mogami Inari to ask for an explanation were left on the east bank of the Ashimori River due to a heavy rain and could not return. As a result, there are completely different opinions within the temple about the next move of the temple and the temple.
The first is to once again encourage good men and women to gather around the temple to start a decisive battle with the Date army and completely defeat the Date army, but there are not many people who agree with this opinion, as far as the current strength of the two sides is concerned, the Shingon sect Imperial Faction and the Date army have only one way to die in a decisive battle, and the temples and Kanryuji are all temples, which are completely different from the Ichsa sect and have a fixed base area, built complete defense facilities, have a strict military system, have a feared monk army organization and a large number of poor people believers. Most of the Shingon sect's royal family faction relies on the patronage of the royal family and the samurai, and most of its internal figures are mostly some imperial ministers before becoming monks, although the influence is great, but there are not many who can really fight, although the whole faction claims to have tens of thousands of believers, but the base camp is in Kyoto, which is Bei China, because of the perennial superiority, the status among the poor people is not as much as Nichiren sect. Of course, there are some monks and soldiers in the two temples, but in a hurry, plus most of them are still guarding the east bank of the river, there are less than 100 people left, more than 100 monks and soldiers, plus believers, at most three or four hundred people.
The strength of the Date Army in the Battle of Matsushima Castle had reached the size of thousands. The direction of Koyama Castle has not yet been counted, if you add Takamatsu Castle and Fuchuan Castle, the number of troops in the Kurashiki area will be two or three thousand, and if you add soldiers and horses from other places, as long as you give an order. In two or three days, an army of tens of thousands can be gathered. Once it angered the Date family. The consequences are unimaginable. If you continue to fight with the Date family, there is only a dead end, although the place where the temple and the temple are known as extralegal privileges, and they are very taboo for any samurai, but what kind of character is Date Masahiro. No one can figure out that if there is a terrible massacre in the prime of youth, it is difficult to guarantee that something will not be done, although they think that Date Masahiro will not dare to do such a thing, but no one dares to guarantee it. Don't dare to overdo it. Just as Zhengheng was afraid that the Imperial Sect of Shingon Sect would attract the wrath of the Tiantai Sect, and the Kanshoin Temple and Guanlongji Temple were also afraid that Date Zhengheng would do irrational things, this is for China, not Jinai, they don't have to be so nervous in Jinai, there is their territory, but who knows if the Emperor of China Tiangao is far away.
Fear is mutual, judging from the actions of the Date army's large-scale invasion, and thinking about the problem in terms of Panshoin Temple and Kanryuji Temple. Date Mashiro is obviously not afraid to do something out of the ordinary, which is something they don't want to see. After the war, the Sohonzan side may say a nonsense about Yan zhòng's concerns, solemn representations, strong dissatisfaction, and Yan zhòng's protests, and express their verbal dissatisfaction, but in the end, it will not be resolved, and this is the view of the Panshoin and Kanryu Temple on the Sohonzan. Obviously, Date Masahiro, as an outsider, does not understand the relationship between the total mountain and the mountain of Beg. I thought that the general Benshan would definitely be angry because he offended Bege Benshan, and beat the small one and the old one.
Zheng Heng was wrong from the beginning, and the elders at the top of the temple knew that once something happened to them, the general mountain side would at most express irrelevant nonsense. Then they will endure this breath and may be able to get a sum of compensation from the perpetrators.
Not afraid of ten thousand. I'm afraid that in case, a compromise was quickly reached within the temple and the temple, knowing that now is not the time to continue fighting, as the nameless man of the dragon set man said in the temple: "Although we lost this round, there is still the next round, and it is not certain who will win and who will lose?!" ”
Since the temple and the temple decided to swallow the bitter fruit and no longer fight the Date family, it should be a hungry time to negotiate with the Date family, this is the consensus reached within the two temples, at least not in a short period of time, so that the 2,000 believers who stayed on the east bank of the Asho River can return safely. The idea is beautiful, but the truth is cruel.
It is very naïve and ridiculous that the war will not end because the temple and Kanryuji don't want to go to war. Acquiring the land of the three counties of Toyu, Ushiya, and Kojima was only Date Masaki's first purpose, and he also had a plan to let more than 2,000 blood-seekers wreak havoc on Bizen Province and make Bizen Province lose its vitality within two or three years, as well as a conspiracy to make a complete break between the Matsuda clan and the foreign feudal lords to maximize the benefits from it. Isn't it possible to transfer the will of Zhengheng if they don't want to continue, this battle was a ploy planned by Zhengheng from the beginning, starting from the Liantai Temple incident, although it was somewhat unsatisfactory, but people are not as good as heaven, not only did not damage the Date family and Bei China, but also moved in the direction of greater interests.
In order to obtain the maximum dividend of the incident, it is impossible for Masahiro to negotiate peace with Panshoin and Kanryujida, so that more than 2,000 so-called believers can return to the Kurashiki area to continue the rule of the Ida family, as for other things, Masahiro is willing to continue the attack while negotiating, he ordered Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and the representatives of the two temples to start friendly negotiations, and the Date army did not stop their pace and continued to advance.
Matsushima Castle fell, and Hayashima Castle, which had gathered six miles together, immediately fell into a panic, and there was a hill between the two cities. The lord of Hayashima Castle was Takei Shogun, who was originally a retainer of Ishikawa Hisachi, but after returning to Hayashima Castle after losing the attack and defense of Koyama Castle, he did not surrender to Date Masahiro like the others. Takei Shogun gathered all the samurai, and mobilized a group of people to lead the people, a total of 350 people entrenched in the city, the initial attempt was not much different from Noguchi Shinjiro in Matsushima Castle, of course, not as arrogant as Noguchi Shinjiro went out of the city to find death, he chose Cage City.
The fall of Matsushima Castle frightened Shoshoin Temple and Kanryuji Temple into compromise, and the morale of Hayashima Castle, which was close at hand, plummeted. When Hayashima Castle hadn't yet discussed what to do, Kiyokawa Atsutaro's team came to the outside of Hayashima Castle, but in fact, Kiyokawa Atsutaro's team was really only two or three hundred people. However, the soldiers of Hayashima Castle were already frightened, and when the defenders of Matsushima Castle who fled reported the news, it was because they found that the Date army was only a small force of one or two hundred people at the beginning, and Noguchi Shinjiro went out of the city to fight, but he didn't expect to encounter thousands of enemies.
Kiyokawa Atsutaro stood outside Hayashima Castle, looking at the trembling soldiers defending the city, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he ordered: "Send a messenger and ask whether it is war or peace." "At that time, it was common practice to send envoys to ask the enemy if he was willing to surrender before going to war, and if he resolutely did not surrender, he would go to war.
When a messenger was sent to Hayashima Castle outside Hayashima Castle to ask whether it was a peace or a war, the Takei Shogun of Hayashima Castle immediately agreed to Kaejo's surrender, he knew that there was only one way to die if he defended it, he was originally Ishikawa Hisachi's retainer, and he did his best for Ishikawa Hisachi, but Ishikawa Hisachi was incompetent and killed the director who stayed behind Koyama Castle. Now he is a half-poisonous countryman, not a retainer of the Shingon Sect's imperial faction.
Kiyokawa Atsutaro took some sweetness to Takei Shogun, and a blockade immediately made him wag his tail and beg for mercy, and secretly threatened him to clamp his tail again, and became the leader of the Kiyokawa Department of the Date Army, following this Kiyokawa Atsutaro through the narrow junction between Kojima and Honshu towards Kojima County, his goal is Kojima County.
Along the beach of Kojima, the group advanced towards a target, Tsuneyama Castle, and some stragglers along the way were persuaded by the Takechu Shogun, the leading party, and obediently followed by the Date Army, and when Kiyokawa Atsutaro reached the outside of Tsuneyama Castle, it had reached the size of seven or eight hundred people.
The keeper of Tokiyama Castle is Ueno Toktoryu, the one who is staying in Toyama Castle now, and the Mimura family who was originally staying behind knew that there was nothing to do, and then disappeared into the crowd with his daughter again and became a passerby, and he didn't know when he was needed to come out again to play a negative role, so Ueno Tokulong's younger brother Ueno Takatsu acted as the castle lord. Since Ueno Tokulong had taken almost all the samurai and the people with him, it was difficult for the Qiao woman to cook without rice, and Ueno Takatsu opened the gates of the city without asking whether it was war or peace, and stumbled out of the city and shouted: "Don't fight!" Don't hit! Changshan Castle can be opened to welcome each other! He walked up and down among the soldiers who surrounded him, kneeling, and kept shouting the same words.
General Takechu was originally more or less humiliated because he did not fight Kaejo, but when he saw Ueno Midwinter's appearance, he felt that he still seemed much more noble, after all, he surrendered after listening to the question of whether it was war or peace, and he was much more relieved than Ueno Midwinter.
The surrender of Tokiyama Castle began, and the entire main island of Kojima Prefecture fell into the hands of the Date family in mid-July. Atsutaro Kiyokawa is very smooth, and several others are also overwhelming.
When the Date army pacified the three counties of Toyu, Kashiya, and Kojima, a fierce conflict broke out between the close retainers of the Matsuda clan and the foreign feudal clan, and the concubine of Mototsune, the lord of Ryunoguchi Castle in Kamido Prefecture, was severely injured and killed by Toyama Takahide's retainers.
