On the morning of February 27, 1554, the remaining guard of Kagura O Castle, Ōzo Shochei abandoned the castle and fled into Tsuruyama Castle. Tsuruyama Castle is located on Mt. Tsuru near the Yoshii River, and is strategically located in the center of the Tsuyama Basin with Miyagawa, a tributary of the Yoshii River, and the Randa River, a tributary of the Yoshii River, to the south. Previously, the capital of Misasaka Province was built here, and it was the center of politics when Yamana Kyokiyoshi ruled Misasaka Province, and after the Date family entered Misasaka Province, it was rejuvenated. The current joyo is Matsushima Tsukatsu, one of the three dogs born in Date Masahiro's small surname. Matsushima Hengsheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately met with Daizo Shangqing in the main hall.

Dazang Shangqing was originally a retainer of the Nizi Haruhisa family, and after the Date family entered the Misaku country, he immediately changed his door and kept his skills, and now the wind and dust are full of fear, obviously fleeing in a hurry, and Changle Tail City is afraid that something terrible has happened.

Matsushima Hengsheng looked at Dazang Shangqing's face, and suddenly felt that something big had happened, and he didn't care about asking the other party for abandoning the city, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Dazang Shangqing said bluntly: "I don't dare to expire my lord, this time I am in a hurry, not because of his business, but last night near the city of Changle Benguang Temple crazy, under the curiosity of the team rushed to check, do not see I don't know, I was startled when I saw it." ”

What are you afraid of, Matsushima Hengsheng couldn't believe his ears, where is the sacredness of Benguang Temple, he knows, it is the headquarters of the famous violent armed group Yizong in the United States, he fixed his mind and asked, "What happened later?" ”

Dazang Shangqing's face turned pale again when he remembered what happened at that time, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Those rioters hung the Buddhist scrolls and scriptures on the spear and shouted, defeating the enemies of the Buddhist sect. Entering the 'Pure Land of Bliss.' Those who retreat fall into the Infernal Hell! 'voice. At that time, there were more than 100 people under him, and when they were now, they were also presented, and hundreds of rioters with farm tools suddenly rushed up, and more than 30 people under his command immediately turned against him, and the team was in disarray, so he had to fight and retreat. After the fiasco, nearly three or four thousand thugs gathered at the temple. Then rushed to Changle Tail City! The remaining part of Changle Tail City is less than two or three full light, and it can withstand it, so I have to abandon Changle Tail City and ask the adults to rescue one or two. ”

Matsushima Hengsheng knew that Dazang Shangqing obviously didn't tell the truth, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him to go to the rescue of Changlewei City, if according to Dazang Shangqing's statement, there was no one in Changlewei City for a long time, how to come to the rescue, at most it would be rebuilt after defeating the enemy, but even so. From the words of Dazang Shangqing, Matsushima Hengsheng was still shocked into a cold sweat. It's always been a joke. What's more, now is the most important spring ploughing season of the year, even if it is finally pacified, the spring ploughing is delayed, and you have to starve.

Seeing that Matsushima Hengsheng had no intention of going out of the city to rescue Changlewei City, Dazang Shangqing shook his ear scraper fiercely, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Matsushima Hengsheng, and said tremblingly: "Please also ask the adult soldiers to rescue Changlewei City, when I left, there were still many old and young women and children in the city." ”

Matsushima Hengsheng glanced at Dazang Shangqing with doubts in his eyes, and secretly wondered: "This guy, is this guy a traitor who has always been a traitor, sent to let me out of the city to rescue, and then wiped him out in the wild." However, he knew that with Heshan City and the three hundred recruits brought from Bei China in the city, it was more than enough to defend until the reinforcements arrived, but if he rushed to the field to fight, he was afraid that he would immediately fall into the quagmire in front of the crazy thugs of the Yizong Sect, and he would not even bubble up. Of course, he was not idiotic enough to directly question the other party's Cheng Dù, and Haosheng calmed things down for a while.

Dazang Shangqing thought of his wife and concubine who still had left Changle Tail City, and his only son who was only seven or eight years old, and thought of what they were about to face, his body trembled, and he kept kowtowing in front of Matsushima Hengsheng for help.

Matsushima Hengkatsu saw the behavior of Ōzō Shoki, if Ōzō Ōkiō had studied Date Sango, I am afraid that he would not immediately express his meaning urgently, and even forgot the basic dignity of a samurai.

Qinghe Hengxiu is cautious, Iwase Heng is loyal and reckless, and Matsushima Heng is cunning. The direction of thought of a person with a cunning personality has always been biased towards the dark side. Everything will be considered in the worst direction first, and he is always not afraid to speculate on people's hearts from the most despicable angle.

And the facts often prove the correctness of his approach. The first reaction of ordinary people after hearing the incident was to hide in a safe place, and then close the door and wait for the army to come to help, but Dazang Shangqing blindly did the opposite.

Matsushima Hengsheng immediately raised his vigilance, but he did not announce it, and reassured him again and again, because he knew from his lord Date Heng that the stubborn tactics were probably broken by the enemy because of internal suspicions and intrigue.

Dazang Shangqing saw that Matsushima Hengsheng was just perfunctory, and sat on the ground, and it was actually old tears. He knew that Heshan City could not be afraid of being beaten all the time, the defenders in the city were all born in China, and when Date entered the United States last year, he left a large amount of grain for the winter, which was obviously not eaten in a short time, and the two rivers in the southeast could take water. If someone has food and water, he will be able to hold the city firmly. Of course, this is also the choice that has always been attacked, where are the other castles still stockpiled after the winter, and there is only some grain left in his Changlewei City.

Dazang Shangqing cried with a sad face, and stomped his feet with hatred, his family was about to be destroyed! Before Matsushima Hengsheng went out, he asked his subordinates to take care of Dazang Shangqing, saying that he was taking care of him, but in fact, he was under house arrest in disguise, and he was also afraid that Dazang Shangqing was really a traitor.

Matsushima Hengsheng don't look at the breeze, in fact, his heart is also burning, from the mouth of the great treasure Shangqing, he knows that the scale of the has always been more than three thousand, it is an exaggeration, I am afraid that there must be at least two or three thousand people, this is still just the beginning, once the time is longer, the scale will be bigger and bigger.

Fortunately, now that spring plowing is imminent, even the samurai have no surplus grain, not to mention the people, I am afraid that there is only grain left. The more people and horses gather, the more people eat and the horses chew, the more food they need, and the closest thing to Motokoji in the Tsuyama Basin is Heshan Castle that still has surplus grain.

As long as you hold Heshan City, you can starve to death even if you are hungry. It's just that in this way, Matsushima Hengsheng is not confident enough about whether he can hold Heshan Castle. The defenders of the city were all prepared by China. But all of them are recruits who have never really been on the battlefield.

The Date family's army was largely untrained. It's all in the way of combat training, the cruelty is a little cruel, the effect is good, and there is nothing more profound than the experience learned in the moment of life and death. It's just that this is also a gradual process, but the three hundred recruits in Heshan City have to go through the most brutal religious war at once, and I am afraid that it will be psychologically unbearable, which is what Matsushima Hengsheng is most worried about.

If you don't fight, you have to fight, and Matsushima Hengsheng boosted morale. While stepping up to report the enemy situation around.

Matsushima Hengsheng knew that among the castles around the Tsuyama Basin, only Heshan Castle still had surplus grain left, and of course the sincerity of Benkoji Temple was also clear, especially after the attack on Changlewei Castle, when he saw that there was only half a bag of grain and some dried radishes left in the city, he knew that if he couldn't break through Heshan Castle in a short time, even if he had a firm faith, it would be difficult to resist the torment of hunger.

Shinjian Zhenjing advised Cheng Cheng more than once beforehand, it is best to wait until after the autumn harvest, when everyone can eat and drink enough, and can deal with all kinds of complicated chaos more calmly. It's just that Zhengcheng is obviously iron-hearted. He is even very optimistic that he has always been the same. Heshan City will take the initiative to open the city and surrender.

After Benkoji Zhengcheng captured Nagaroo Castle, he thought about using the female dependents in the city to let Daizo Shoqing go to lure Matsushima Hengkatsu out of the castle field battle, he didn't know Matsushima Hengkatsu's character, but he knew Date Masaki's character from the mouth of Shinmi Sadatsura - angered the young and vigorous Matsushima Hengkatsu.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Benguang Temple Zhengcheng gave Dazang Shangqing time, and also gave Heshan City time to prepare. In the absence of any news from Dazang Shangqing, Benguang Temple Zhengcheng knew that he had been dumped, so he immediately issued an order to attack Heshan City.

In Heshan Castle, Matsushima Hengsheng also received accurate information: "A group of people rushed from the bank of the Yokono River, and another group of people came from the woods of Benguang Temple, they held high banners, shouted slogans, and pressed towards Heshan Castle, numbering more than two or three thousand. ”

More and more thugs of the Yizong Sect who resisted the anti-10,000-character banner appeared under the city of Heshan, and under each banner there were dozens or hundreds of old and weak women and children armed with wooden sticks and farm tools.

Dozens of blood-stained anti-swash flags swayed in the spring breeze, and suddenly the crowd split into a column, and a group of people came out of it, and the middle-aged monk with the imprint on his head in the crowd looked unusually abrupt.

Benguang Temple Zhengcheng coughed twice, and Lang shouted: "Nan no Amitabha, the city of the Date clan, Matsushima Hengsheng, come out quickly!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the city, Matsushima Hengsheng slammed the naginata knife in his hand into the ground and shouted loudly: "I am Matsushima Hengkatsu, and you are the leader of the riot?" ”

Benguang Temple Zhengcheng once again chanted a Buddha horn, raised his voice and shouted: "The poor monk Benguang Temple presided over Zhengcheng, according to the order of the Dharma King Zhengru, to save the people from suffering, help the world and save people, now the Date clan is reckless, trampling on the people's homes, and is really the enemy of Buddhism." Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, open the city and surrender, you can go to the Pure Land of Bliss, stubbornly resist to the end, and fall into the infernal hell! Matsushima Hengkatsu, have you thought about it? ”

His voice was smug, and Matsushima Hengsheng's answer was even more crisp, and as soon as he raised his hands, he shot an arrow with a whoosh. From the head of the city to the bottom of the city is a full three or four hundred meters, obviously impossible to shoot, the arrow is a long distance on the way, but the number of people is too dense, an unlucky man was shot in the neck, and fell to the ground with white eyes.

After shooting the bow and arrow, Matsushima Hengsheng suddenly pulled out his naginata, held it high above the top, and roared: "My lord is benevolent and merciful, and has prepared grain and copper farm tools, and will give them to the people for free as soon as spring plowing begins, and reduce the agricultural tax to six gongs and four farmers!" You don't think about helping the world to save people, blindly asking for grain from the mouths of the people, inciting the people to make rebellion, trampling on the farmland where the people live, called a disciple of Buddhism, and you are really a wicked person in the world! Kill! ”

The soldiers around him followed him, raising their arms and shouting, "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" (To be continued......)
