For the common people, the lord is the lord who has been on the top of his head for many years, but he is only a predator of grain. Whether the old lord will continue to hold on to this territory, or whether a new lord will come, at most it will be like taking off the head and replacing it with another head, and the vitality of the people will remain the same as before, and it will continue. This is the Date Masahiro led his Date clan to seize the territory of the Mimura clan and the Zhuang clan in one fell swoop, and became the de facto lord of China, none of the people followed the remnants of the party to make trouble, and the remnants of the party soon drowned among the people and became wanderers, and the suspicious people waited for the next opportunity for the change of lords, the ambitious people visited other countries to seek new lords to recruit officials, the disheartened people lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, the green lights and ancient Buddhas were often accompanied, and the timid ones hid in the people's homes to farm and ignore the world.

The mountain gate and temple of Liantai Temple were all destroyed, and the monks and believers suffered more than five or six hundred casualties, if they were ignored, the prestige of the Shingon Sect Imperial Sect would be lost, and Guanlong Temple and Pan Zhaoyuan were likely to go to Liantai Temple and turn into a scorched earth, and there was a lot of crisis for a while. However, Kanryuji Temple and Panshoin Temple do not have the qualifications to make trouble, and they have not colluded deeply with the local forces in general, and the Ichōzong can be launched in full swing in Hokuriku and cannot be separated from the collusion between local forces. The Shingon sect was not rooted in the poor people like the Ichitsu sect and Nichiren sect, but developed followers among the local samurai class, and their development was inseparable from the imperial family, and it was a product of the Nara period.

The Shingon sect was not qualified to riot, but the ill-intentioned ronin had mixed in with the chaos and occupied high positions, hoping to win the battle of faith with Mogami Inari, and preferably to involve Takamatsu Castle in the turmoil, even with the new owner of Tsurushou Castle, and even if they could not give the new owner of Tsurushou Castle a heavy blow, they would burn down the rice fields in the Kurashiki area and the harvest would be drastically reduced. It's just that they thought in the wrong direction in the first place. What they don't know is that this riot was the result of Date Masaki's connivance from the beginning, and Mogami Inari was also the sad urge he pushed out to stop Fuyan from carrying the hot pot on his back. They believed that the Shingon sect's sphere of influence had expanded to the entire Kurashiki region, and they thought that the 40,000 or 50,000 people in the Kurashiki area would follow them and rise up in rebellion. In fact, they are all wrong, and the sphere of influence does not mean that there are many believers. Since the Shingon sect Imperial Sect was forcibly absorbed from the countrymen by taking advantage of the defeat of Ishikawa Hisatochi, the time was in a hurry, and for the people, at most there was a change of lord, although the new lord was wearing a robe, and that's all.

The lord recruited the people to fight and had to pay a lot of rice rations, and he also had to ensure the safety of the rice in the fields, and destroy the food they had worked hard for half a year to maintain the lord's power. After coming back, you have to starve to death before you can wait for the cold winter wax moon, and the people in the troubled times will not be so stupid in order to survive. Although Zhengheng has always practiced moral governance, don't forget that he has just ruled Bei China for a short time, and he has not let the people have savings, and he is still starving. In the last battle with Ishikawa Kuchi, Ishikawa Kuchi ruthlessly looted a layer of land in the territory in order to fight against the Date clan's army. It was in this atmosphere that the Shingon sect of the Imperial Family sect seized the land, and the people were looking forward to a good harvest in the rice fields, and there were still many wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger in the fields in spring and summer. The people did not starve to death because of this, they only thought about how to survive, and they did not even have the strength to be angry, where did they still have the courage to start a riot.

The farmland carries their hopes, whether they can survive this winter, and if anyone dares to burn down the rice fields, without the intervention of the Date clan, the reputation of the Shingon Imperial Sect will be completely decayed, and the people will rise up against them. Before Toyotomi Hideyoshi implemented the sword hunting order, almost two or three people in the Wa Kingdom had a sword, and these two or three people included the elderly and children. Although Shoheng also wanted to implement the sword hunting order, the Date clan regime had just been established and had not yet been completely stabilized, and the regime was bound to be turbulent if the sword hunting order was implemented rashly. It has never been implemented, and it is really not easy for small-scale rebels to take advantage of the chaos to loot the people of the village, and large-scale looting does not mean that the looting can be ransacked, and once the looting incident breaks out, the reputation of the Shingon Imperial Sect will be completely ruined.

The followers of the Shingon sect of the Imperial Sect, who were afraid of tigers and wolves, gathered at Liantai Temple for four or five days before deciding whether to break out into a larger-scale commotion, and it took four or five days for the ill-intentioned people to realize that it was all their whims, and the number of chaotic people under their command still did not exceed 2,000, and the situation in which the tens of thousands of mobs that were originally expected to be prepared for chaos did not show up, and the scenes of villages and villages closing their doors and looking at the world with cold eyes could be seen everywhere.

Can't go on like this?!

More and more ill-intentioned people began to connect in tandem, and the first thing they said when they met was "can't go on like this?!" "These people began to gather in Tokoyama Castle on the south side of Tokoyama at the northern foot of Yukayama, and jointly promoted Ueno Lude, the lord of Tokoyama Castle, as the leader, Ueno Lude is ten years younger than the Mimura family, and is the eldest son-in-law of the Mimura family, and the Mimura family fled into Tokoyama Castle after escaping from Yukayama, and has been making suggestions behind the scenes as the driving force behind Ueno Tokurya, of course, these people do not know that the Mimura family has been paying attention to the evolution of this incident behind the scenes, and they also felt deeply disappointed when things did not develop in the expected direction of the Mimura family.

Ueno Tokutaka was the son-in-law of the Mimura family, and the second was also a famous samurai near Yukayama, and he was historically the last stronghold of Mimura Motojin after the blade in Matsuyama Castle, and in the third year of Tensho (1575), he gathered 200 remnants of soldiers against thousands of Maori troops and finally fought to the death, which can be said to be the last martyr of the Mimura clan.

On June 26, five days have passed since the incident at Liantai Temple.

In the main castle of Tokiyama Castle, people with ill intentions gathered together and sat in the main hall of the council at a loss. Originally, after the launch of Ueno Toktoryu, he should have temporarily returned to the chaos and then launched a strong attack, but at this moment, no one returned to the chaos people, and everyone sat there with gloomy expressions, drinking alcohol.

Masahiro has been staying in Takamatsu Castle for four days, and it took only four days to control the command of Takamatsu Eight Castles, pacify the people of Ashigaru who were originally in turmoil, and Mogami Inari has only been sticking to the mountain gate, and has no intention of provoking. Although this kind of result is what they want to see, it means that the Date family has been involved in the riot, and has even become the target of the Shingon sect's imperial family resistance, but it is really because they saw the strength of the Date family, the Shingon sect imperial family at both ends of the first rat did not dare to move, which disappointed the people who were originally expecting an outbreak.

Of course, if they knew that Masahiro was a little unexpected, maybe they wouldn't be so gloomy and uneasy, Masahiro did take the power of the Shingon sect imperial faction a little bit strong, and they didn't expect that the people in the Kurashiki area would be so sensible and didn't come out to make trouble.

Ueno Lund was a military general, but he was also oppressed by an inexplicable pressure that made it difficult to do anything, he glared at the people below who were drinking and said, "The enemy is already close at hand, don't we have anything else to do but drink here?" ”

There is obviously no shortage of wise men in the main hall, and the relatives of the Mimura family, who are wrapped in veils to cover their scars, said angrily: "Since everyone knows that the direct murderers of the slaughter of Liantai Temple are Ci Zhaoyuan and the Mimura water thieves, then first destroy the same as Ci Zhaoyuan, and then burn down the Mogami Inari Temple all the way to anger Mogami Inari, and it is best to attract Bizen Province to join the riot." ”

Ueno Tokulong may be the only person in the venue who knows the real name of the Mimura family, he has always thought that the Mimura family is obedient, and when he heard the words of the Mimura family, he immediately waved his fist in agreement, and other people who had nothing to do also agreed, but in the cheers of everyone, the Mimura family who gave the opinion did not know when he left the hall and disappeared into the corner.

Ueno Delong led 200 soldiers to join the rebel group, and thanks to the conspiracy of other ill-intentioned people, he suddenly became the most powerful of the rebel group, in which he shouted to each other, shouting: "Defeat the enemies of Buddhism, enter the Elysium of the Afterlife, and those who retreat will fall into the Infernal Hell!" "Hang the scriptures of the Buddha scrolls on the spear and march towards Jishoin to punish the demons who have fallen into the Infernal Hell.

The wolf bèi unbearable Mimura Navy fled into Naoshima under the leadership of Mimura Shibei, and the presiding officer of Jishoin spent every day in panic, but after a few days of no movement before he calmed down slightly, thinking that it was thunder and rain, but what he never expected was that the mob would suddenly send troops to besiege Jishoin and set fire in the nearby village.

The firelight reflected the summer sky, and the temple was also burned down, and the presiding master was brutally cut off and hung on the flagpole to show off his might.

Under the soaring flames, Ueno Tokutaka and the ill-intentioned people boosted the morale of the flames, and more than 2,000 mobs began to advance towards Mogami Inari.

There was no surplus food in the village, and they claimed to be the new masters of the Kurashiki area, and they did not act aggressively towards the rice fields and villages, but the Buddhist temples of other sects they met along the way were damaged, but they still did not dare to attack the big castles, and did not dare to pass through the middle of the three castles of Fukawa Castle, Hihata Castle, and Matsushima Castle, for fear of being dumplings by the Date army, so they crossed the intersection of the Ashimori River and the Honose River and advanced along the upper reaches of the Honose River.
