Chapter 468 27. The Four Merciless Rules
The fire continued to burn 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 things in Honganji Temple and gave them half of 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 I didn't dare to do anything." Koheita's expression was calm and calm.
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 Teruhora 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.
"Look, someone seems to have come out of the temple!" Aji had a white cloth wrapped around his arm. He 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, 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. Judging from his appearance, he was a somewhat lucky person. 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 intermarrying 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.
OK!
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 people, they had 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, those who teach in each group, and all the nomads should 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 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 Honzan Honshoji Temple have evil intentions, coerce the good people, resist the heavenly soldiers, and commit treason. The temples are confiscated and expelled from Mikawa Province, and they are not allowed to enter again! "
Four words to describe: leave the house with nothing!
Not to mention that Osuga Yasunari did not dare to believe it, even Udono Nagatsuru did not dare to believe it. How could he be a lobbyist under these conditions? There is no room for maneuver. These are all death orders.
"Go back and tell everyone in the hall that you have half an hour to reply to these four points. If you don't follow them, you will bear the consequences!"
"Just let Yoshida-dono convey it! No need to feel burdened. ”
What else could Udono Nagakatsugu do? Osuga Yasunari, who had lost half his life, opened the curtain and left the camp.
[Note 1]: The most famous person in the Osuga clan today is naturally Osuga Yasutaka. This person, who was a retainer of Sakai Tadanori, must have beaten Tokugawa Ieyasu. But he later surrendered and became the lord of Yokosuka Castle. Even more famous is his adopted son Osuga Tadamasa (Masamasa), whose biological father is Sakakibara Yasumasa.
During the Edo Shogunate, the Osuga clan was first granted 30,000 in Kamisama-ruri and 60,000 in Yokosuka, and they were doing well among the hereditary descendants. Osuga Tadamasa was finally given the surname Matsudaira and was respected as Matsudaira Dewa-no-kami.
