    The revived Minso Ankoku Zen Temple is more gorgeous and magnificent than before. In addition to serving as the Bodhi Temple where the Kira family has enshrined the ancestors for generations, it is also the famous Kannon Dojo in Tokaido. The temple enshrines the Nishikiwa Kannon.  It is very famous in the country, and at the same time, the Myoshinji sect is the most powerful among the Rinzai sects. Not only the Kira family has been a Buddhist of the Myoshinji sect for generations, but also the Imagawa family, the Takeda family and other famous martial arts families are also members of the Myoshinji sect.  of believers.  If Sonobu Nishiyama, the resident minister of Anguo Zen Temple, is actually operating in the Kira family under the orders of Taiyuan Xuezai, the consequences will be really disastrous. The Myoshinji sect has a lot of influence in Nishi Mikawa, especially in the Kira territory.  The largest sect, most of the Kira family's retainers and people follow the faith of the main family and follow the Myoshinji sect.  The wealthy families and local priests near Honjoji Temple were won over by the Honjoji Temple of the Ichigo sect and became believers. Once the residents of Bodhiji Temple rebelled and lobbied for the Imagawa family, the Kira family's will to resist would soon collapse, let alone anything.  Gathering a large army and holding the city firmly, it would be good if the wealthy people did not secretly open the city gates and offer the city to surrender.  "In this way, Taiyuan Xuezhai has quite a relationship with our family. However, he is a retainer of the Imagawa family, which means that the conflict with our family cannot be adjusted. Taiyuan Xuezhai wants to use the influence of Anguo Zen Temple, the prime minister of the family, on our family.  Let's persuade my family to surrender! It's true that I should be polite first and then attack. If I don't obey, I will have a reason to send troops to Hatado County. No one will blame the Imagawa family when the time comes. Who can tell me that I don't understand the current situation? This is really a successful fight.  Abacus! " Kira Manshomaru seems to have realized something, but this realization is really bitter. Knowing that these famous generals are not easy to fool, the Imagawa family often has the ambition to annex Mikawa, and they still wishful thinking that others will not attack them. It is really counterintuitive.  The naive childishness of forgiveness.  "There is no solution to this! The Imagawa family takes the initiative to attack, and I passively defend. Before the opponent's offensive has begun, I am in chaos. This is waiting for me to make a mistake! It is useless to do anything now. The more you do, the more you do.  "Think about Taiyuan Xue Zhai's military strategy. In last year's Battle of Xiaoduzaka, with 10,000 troops against 4,000 Oda troops, he even arranged an ambush and a surprise attack. How capable is such a stable old fox?  Better than?  He really couldn¡¯t think of a way to deal with Taiyuan Xuezhai. He couldn¡¯t block Xishan Zongyan and prevent him from leaving the temple. But once he made a move, the important officials in the family would be shaken. Will he fight or surrender?  The battle is absolutely impossible to defeat the Imagawa family's tens of thousands of troops, and it is impossible to avenge the mortal hatred of his brother Kira Yoshigo and the Tojo family Kira Mochihiro. Besides, those important officials who have passed down the generations will not easily succumb to the Imagawa clan, which is a branch of the Kira family.  , this is simply a dead end.  Kira Manshomaru felt that he was wronged. His father, Kira Yoshiyao, had rebelled against Imagawa all his life but had no results in the end. His brother Kira Yoshigo lost his life because of his rebellion against Imagawa. He himself also understood that the Imakawa family was not so powerful because of him.  He can withstand it, but the will of his retainers is not controlled by him. Every retainer in the Kira family tree screams at the mention of Imagawa like chicken blood. What can he do?  The Kira family has inherited many prefectures in Mikawa Province for generations since the early Kamakura period. After the division of the family, the Kira family later controlled Higashi Mikawa. Regardless of whether the Muromachi shogunate appointed the Hosokawa clan and the Isshiki clan as guardians of Mikawa, the Kira family's power could not be circumvented.  Influenced by the strong influence, the current Sichuan clan has only completed the annexation of Yuanjiang Kingdom, and is still powerless against the part of Mikawa Kingdom.  But all this changed with the decision of the previous head of the Shimo-Kira family, Kira Mochihiro. Ever since Shimo-Kira was assigned to Tojo Castle, he had always had the ambition to annex the clan. In his generation, he quickly seized the opportunity. He found that his subordinates  Matsudaira Kiyoyasu was a rare general since he was a feudal lord with his father Kira, and he was the leader of the clan. So with the support of Kira Mochihiro, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu triumphed all the way and defeated many retainers and people who were close to the clan.  , causing the Liangjiliang Rebellion to become more intense.  His short-sighted behavior soon paid the price. Matsudaira Kiyoyasu gradually no longer obeyed Kira Mochihiro's orders, and his intention to become independent could no longer be stopped. Although the accident of Mori's landslide bankrupted his plot, once the idea of ??independence took root, he could no longer  Unstoppable, just like Owari Oda quietly completed his move to conquer the country by relying on a clan all over the branch country, the Matsudaira clan also has a large number of branches spread across half of Mikawa. They have the idea and ability to imitate Oda and usurp Mikawa Kingdom, and they have prepared for the Mikawa Kingdom.  This effort was put into practice.  Unwilling to fail, Kira Mochihiro took the initiative to establish contact with the Imagawa family. He appointed his younger brother Arakawa Yoshihiro to be responsible for contacting the Imagawa family, and released this hungry wolf that was lingering outside the door but could not enter into the Mikawa Kingdom, so that the originally solid defense  There was a breach in the barrier, and from then on it was doomed that the Kira family's rule over Mikawa would come to an end.  Unfortunately, things happened quickly. The wily Taiyuan Xuezhai kept mobilizing the people of Sanhe, so that the influence of the Imagawa family gradually penetrated into Dongsanhe. The people who originally belonged to the upper and lower Jiliang began to waver. In the eight counties and establishments of Dongsanhe,  In Le County, there have been cases where Chinese people were instigated to rebel, and some people even directly?He was the servant army of the Imagawa family that invaded Mikawa.  The head of the Matsudaira family faced destruction due to the Mori landslide. Matsudaira Hirotada, who accepted Kira Mochihiro's favor, quickly switched to the new master Imagawa family. Imagawa Yoshimoto even took advantage of the opportunity of Matsudaira Hirotada to join the family and forced his superiors to  Ryo Kira recognizes that the Matsudaira family is completely independent from the Kira family.  It was only then that the Tojo Kira family came to their senses. In order to save the defeat and atone for his sins, Kira Mochihiro sent his son to Owari Province, and welcomed Kira Yoshian from the Sou family as the heir to the family governor, but he did all this  By the time it was already too late, the influence of the Imagawa family had penetrated Mikawa uncontrollably.  Ten years ago, in the Battle of Hachimiyama, the 10,000-strong army formed by the Imagawa family and pro-Imagawa Yoshihiro Arakawa defeated the 6,000-strong army that Ry¨­ Kira had hastily organized at Hachimiyama.  The governor of the Kira family, Kira Mochihiro, and most of the clan were all killed in the battle. Eight hundred people of the Kira family were killed, and the family business was almost collapsed.  Fortunately, God gave the Kira family another chance. The Oda family's invasion of Nishi Mikawa temporarily relieved the Kira family's crisis of genocide. Even so, Ryo Kira could only survive. The original system of Mikawa was riddled with holes. Most people in Higashi Mikawa  Turning to the Imagawa family, the two Ji Liang are like terminally ill old people who may die at any time.  This question has been lingering in his mind since a few years ago, and he finally understood it today: "This is the bloody law of the jungle that applies to superiors! The Wu family's abnormal and demanding demands on the land have evolved into tragedies one after another, because this is the reason why  Fathers and sons are at odds with each other, and brothers are fighting each other. This is the source of the rebellion of the people. Forget about being a small lord and farming. " "Master! I have served my family for several years and have trained eight hundred feet for my family.  It should be helpful to my Kira family's great cause!" Yamamoto Kansuke seemed to be comforting him, and brought up the old story of military training a few years ago. A few years ago, Yamamoto Kansuke was promoted to the rank of general because of his contribution to the reconstruction of Saijo Castle!  , and then he asked himself to train a standing ashigaru for the Kira family.  At that time, his father, Kira Yoshiyao, was the governor of the family. In order to save the crumbling family business, he agreed to this proposal and treated his father as a living doctor. Before his father's body collapsed, he visited him several times, and every time he  He said that he had to continue training before he was ready. As for when he would finish training these soldiers, Yamamoto Kansuke kept it secret.  Since Kira Manshomaru came to power for more than a year, I haven't heard Yamamoto Kansuke mention this matter very often. Over time, I forgot about it. This time, when he mentioned it, he remembered that a large part of the Kira family's annual expenditures was  It was allocated to Kansuke Yamamoto to train new soldiers. The soldiers were trained for more than five years, which is a long enough time. What kind of soldiers need to be trained for more than five years? Is it intended to train eight hundred samurai?  "Are you ready for training? How are the levels of these ashigaru?" When he heard about the military training, he became energetic. In this era, having soldiers and food is fundamental. Without these, even if you are a nobleman, it will be of little use. Don't you see the people in Kyoto?  The emperor wanted to make a living by selling paintings, and the ministers had to go to the streets and sell vegetables to make a living. The ministers of all the dynasties had to go to distant countries to make a living and eat as food.  "Most of these eight hundred standing ashigaru come from the national clan. The best have been selected through layers of selection. I dare to say that most of the best in Nishi Mikawa are concentrated among these eight hundred people!" This can satisfy the demanding Kansuke Yamamoto. It does look very good.  Not a bad look.
