Chapter 93: The Rebellion of Liantai 13

Raindrops were ticking, lightning pierced the sky, and thunder was deafening. 78In the ruins of the burned temple at the foot of Mt. Yasaka, more than 2,000 men, women, and children in rags sat in rows, sheltering from the rain. Around them, hundreds of young men dressed in various broken foot equipment were gathering, all of them looking at the dozen people in the hall where the beams had collapsed with anxious faces. The rain flowed into a small stream that flowed to the nearby Sagase River, gradually forming a raging river that overflowed the rudimentary embankments and soon flooded the paddy fields along the river, and the lush rice paddies fell sideways in the mud puddles. Most of them's expressions were almost numb, and they only knew how to obey the orders they received, and they didn't dare to show any dissatisfied expressions, and occasionally someone couldn't help but sigh when they saw the rice in the paddy field, and they were covered by their companions to prevent it from happening.

In addition to the constant coughing and muffled crying of the 2,000-strong procession, all that remained was the sound of rain crashing on the earth, the sound of the river lapping on the bank, and the occasional baby's cry. In the crowd, a young descendant saw the rice in the paddy field lying in the puddle, his eyes were full of pity, rice was their life, and he whispered: "Uncle, I don't know what happened to the rice at home?" It's not going to be like this, I'm afraid it's going to be a bad winter this year. But before his uncle could reply, he was covered by a wrinkled old man beside him.

The old man scolded in a low voice: "Sukeshiro, you don't want to die, don't complain, someone secretly wanted to return home yesterday to see the situation, and now the head is hanging on the riverside, and the corpse has already become food for wild dogs." ”

The young man called Sukeshiro seemed to be very afraid of this old man, and immediately lowered his head when he heard this, but there was some unwilling muttering: "Master Fujiyoshi, you are too careful, we are so far away, how can those people hear it." His uncle immediately interrupted his words, turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Master Fujiyoshi, you said that it was okay to tell me, and it was said that the Great Sage Master of the Dharma Propagation wanted to ask Mogami Inari for an explanation, praying for the victims of the Dharma martyrdom in Rentai Temple to go to Elysium, why didn't you even let me say anything now." ”

The old man called Master Fujiyoshi cautiously turned his head and looked towards the main hall, and saw that more than a dozen people in the main hall were arguing intently, and hundreds of young people were gathering and did not pay attention to this side, so he put his mind down and turned back to Sukeshiro's uncle and nephew and said: "Sukeshi, Sukeshiro, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Ueno saw that my old wife was his nurse, and assigned the two of you to me as servants, you would also have to charge into battle with the soldiers, don't be in the midst of blessings and not knowing blessings." Don't envy them, you two have been majestic in the past three or four days, and there have been forty or fifty casualties, well, don't talk, someone has come out. ”

Uncle and nephew Sukeshiro glanced at the two small leaders who walked towards them, the two glanced at each other, and one by one they pulled up Uncle Sukeshiro and shouted: "Didn't you hear the order of the big boss, the young man is all gathered for me, and I want to hide in the back, bastard things, give me up." ”

Master Fujiyoshi stood up, limping and laughing: "Two brothers, two brothers, these two are the servants of Lord Ueno to the little one, and the younger one is Lord Ueno's mother's family, and the body is not very bright, let the two of them follow the trivial things, and ask the two brothers to forgive me, help the four, help Shiro, quickly, don't make amends quickly, and take out the bronze incense burner that was found from Hualien Temple yesterday to honor the two masters." ”

The two small leaders glanced at each other and did not listen to Master Fujiyoshi's words, and one of them snorted coldly and shouted: "Lord Ueno has just given an order, all those who can carry weapons should be assembled, and no one shall disobey them. As he spoke, he pushed away Master Fujiyoshi and pulled his two uncles and nephews towards the rain.

Elsewhere in the crowd, the thugs had already rushed into the crowd, punching and kicking the healthy men who were hiding in the crowd and did not come out, some of them directly smashed them with bamboo sticks, and then pulled them all out, and soon, only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the crowd, and even the slightly stronger women were pulled out and filmed in a line.

Lying on the ground, the old man Fujiyoshi, who had just gotten up with the support of two old women, had red eyes and cried in a low voice: "The bastard thing of Tiansha is actually not recognized by the six relatives!" After crying for a while, he raised his head and said to the main hall: "It seems that they are going to fight hard, do they want to attack Toyama Castle?!" "He can be regarded as an old man who has seen the world, if he hadn't been lame in one leg, I'm afraid he would have become a samurai master a long time ago, but he is also a well-known figure in the village, relying on the old wife is Ueno Delong's nurse, and he can be regarded as a talking figure in the village.

The main hall was still arguing, looking at the slaughter and desolation in his eyes, listening to the deafening thunder roaring in his ears, Ueno Toktoryu's heart was also cold, he felt confused about his future, and when he came out of Tokiyama Castle, he was full of fighting spirit, thinking that he would definitely be able to make a mess and prepare for it, just like Kaga Province has always achieved great things through a rebellion, at least he can become a hegemon. But only three or four days have passed, and nothing he expected has happened, and now a heavy rain has fallen on his hopes, and the water of Ashimori River and Asahikawa is still rising because of a heavy rain, and the narrow river that could have been crossed is difficult to cross in a short time, even if the heavy rain stops immediately, it cannot be crossed within two or three days, but looking at the weather, I am afraid that it cannot be stopped in a short time, and once the time drags on more and more, they will be trapped and starved to death and frozen to death at the foot of Yasaka Mountain.

One of the leaders suddenly stood up and rushed over, grabbed the collar of the person opposite with both hands and shook violently and shouted, "What did you say? Take shelter for the time being, take shelter now, avoid somewhere, the Ashimori River spreads across the riverbank and becomes a swamp, and the Asahikawa River is even worse, we are now trapped in the middle, and we can only cross the Sagasase River and continue to move forward, break Kibitsu Shrine, and stay in the shrine to wait for the weather to turn good and the river recedes, and then consider the next move. ”

The man broke free of his hands on the collar, staggered back a few steps, and shouted the same: "You are right, the Ashimori River is flooding, your eyes are blind, the water of the Sagase River is about to overflow to Da'an Temple, you let us wade over, there is no boat, how do you let us wade through?" Ah, you think I don't know if there is no way out for a while, but what other way, most of the granaries of Da'an Temple have been burned down, and you don't see that there is no surplus food in the village on the way, only a little food in the temple, otherwise we wouldn't risk the big disapproval to burn down other temples. ”

Ueno Delong slammed the ground hard, made a loud sound, and shouted: "Don't make any noise, I know what you mean, but once we attack Toyama Castle on Mt. Yasaka, we will directly face the wrath of the Matsuda clan, and the purpose of dragging the Date clan into the water is going to be ruined, I am not reconciled." ”

The two roaring looked at each other fiercely and sat down, muffled and silent, the two had already made a sound, it was time for the others to speak, a slightly older middle-aged man raised his head and said: "Now is not the time to be rash, it is not impossible to drag the Date clan into the water, once we capture Toyama Castle, we will get a temporary refuge, the heavy rain has blocked our way, could it be that the reinforcements of the Matsuda clan can also fly over, they will also have to wait until the rain has passed before they can come to the rescue, When the time comes, we will abandon Toyama Castle and follow us into the territory of the Date clan, and I will see if the Date clan will sit idly by, once it is a matter of two tigers fighting, we will be able to compete with the mussels and fishermen for profit. ”

The others echoed one after another, all agreeing with his idea, and the two leaders who were originally roaring also agreed, as if the two had never made trouble, obviously a character who sang red face and white face, Ueno Delong's eyes also flashed, and he said loudly: "Okay, after the assembly, let the old, weak, sick and disabled pretend to retreat to the direction of the Ashimori River, and the others will hide with me in the grove on the east side of Yasaka Mountain, and attack Toyama Castle as soon as the assembly is completed, and we must conquer Toyama Castle as soon as possible, Otherwise, it will be difficult to win with our forces when we react. ”

Ueno Tokutaka gathered in the woods on the east side of the Yasaka River and waited for a small half a day before the assembly was completed, and the heavy rain had both disadvantages and advantages, otherwise such a chaotic assembly would really be difficult to hide from the defenders of Toyama Castle, but what he didn't know was that the defenders of Toyama Castle had already sent messengers to Kanegawa Castle for help when the mob rushed into Da'an Temple, and when he saw the fire of Da'an Temple, he began to cage the city, it can be said that what he did was completely useless, standing on the side of the grove, he turned his eyes to Toyama Castle on Yasaka Mountain.

Toyama Castle should actually be called Da'anji Castle and Yasaka Castle, because it was named Toyama Castle because it was built in Toyama during the Renwa period, Matsuda Motomori's fourth ancestor Mototaka seized Toyama Castle, and his three male relatives Xiu into the Toyama clan, and the clan has been close to each other for generations, and the current head of the family, Toyama Takashi, is the younger brother of the late Matsuda head Motomori, which can be said to be a high power. Toyama Castle is located in the center of Ifukugo, Ono-gun, Bizen, and a large area west of the Asahikawa is his domain, and the abundance of the territory makes it quite dangerous to build, which is why Ueno Tokutaka has never been able to make up his mind to attack.

The woods were wet everywhere, and as twilight wore up, the team, which only ordinary people had weapons, began to climb towards the side of the Yasaka River, and the mountain road was slippery and everyone on the left and right supported them forward, and as soon as they reached the castle wall, they were half victorious.
