    Kira Yoshi's angry voice spread far away: "Are we punished by the gods and Buddhas? I have to say absolutely not! This is just a test from the gods and Buddhas! I think Echigo is a good place, Shining Water  The people are simple and honest, and the hard-working farmers work hard with their hands. In the three years since Echigo, I have never seen ordinary people who eat well. So what is lacking in Echigo? It is knowledge and a broad vision!  He is also my sworn brother. Nagao Tanshoden was concerned about the survival of the 300,000 people of Echigo, and traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto to seek a cure. This prompted my decision to go to Echigo. Since then, my sworn brother and  I have been working hard every day to plan, but unexpectedly, a disaster has made my sworn brother sick, and it has been three years! Three years have passed! Following my sworn brother's ambition, I have led thousands of Echigo warriors to the countryside many times to investigate and study agricultural reform.  Later, it changed little by little in our hands. From famine and poverty to the present, it only took three years to complete the unfinished business of three hundred years. I can proudly say that Echigo is a samurai.  The warriors and the people who have fought day and night for the past three years are the best in the world!" The solemn declaration heralded a complete summary of Echigo's great achievements, and as the majestic voice spread across the square,  The hundreds of thousands of people in the audience burst into cheers. People cheered and celebrated the huge harvest in three years. Apart from Mutsu, they were the first country to achieve a million-stone victory, and easily surpassed Mutsu Country to become the first country to achieve this.  A territory of two million stones.  Nagao Kagetora choked on his inflammatory rhetoric and turned red in the face. An uninformed samurai would have thought it was because of excitement, but in fact he himself knew that this was not the case.  But who doesn¡¯t love fame in this world?  The Naga-tailed Kagetora is certainly no exception.  "The achievements of more than 400,000 people in Echigo who worked hard for three years. Let us live a happy and peaceful life. The whole of Echigo is looking forward to living a life without famine and poverty, without war and killing, but all this has been  They destroyed! They are called Yixiang Yikui! They burn down the houses that you have worked hard to build, kill your relatives and compatriots, and trample on the fruits of your labor. They are thieves who have gained something for nothing, and they are full of evil robbers.  I want to kill all the warriors who defend my homeland and trample on the beliefs that you fight for. I will seize your wives, daughters and food. Fortunately, they are in the hands of my sworn brother. My Echigo army has always collapsed wherever it goes.  It¡¯s time to judge their crimes! Tell me loudly what to do with them! ¡°Kill them! Kill them! Kill them¡­¡± The anger of hundreds of thousands of people burst out in unison.  When he speaks a word, even the hard-hearted Echigo general will change his expression.  The criminals who had always been on the side of Yi Kui all looked as pale as if they were mourning for their heirs. They never expected that a well-prepared Yi Kui would end up like this. They got nothing except killing hundreds of fish that slipped through the net. For this, they had to take advantage of themselves and others.  More than five hundred lives.  In their opinion, everything was lost.  The civilians of Echigo did not feel that they were at a disadvantage. More than 7,000 soldiers were killed by the army led by Nagao Kagetora, and more than 1,800 were killed on the spot.  Seven or eight hundred people died one after another while fleeing throughout the night. After hiding in Tibet, they were finally found one by one and another five or six hundred people died.  In addition, there were about 5,000 more people who had not had time to gather together to make a fuss. They were dispersed to other areas of Joetsu and were quickly eliminated. Now more than 500 die-hards are to be executed.  There are more than 13,000 Yixiang believers, and only about 7,000 are truly worth "saving". The rest are either dead or waiting to be executed.  Ishida An Yunshou yelled crazily: "You can't kill me! Shengxing Temple will not let you go! I, Xiangzong, will not let you go" The sound he made was drowned out without even making a splash.  In the rolling tide, fortunately the voices of hundreds of thousands of people were loud enough to drown out his threat, otherwise this man would have been torn to pieces by the angry Echigo civilians on the spot.  Faced with a tsunami-like sound coming straight from the mountain, the deafening loud noise made many samurai watching the ceremony on the high platform weak in fear. Uesugi Kenmasa was one of them. If it weren't for Xiao Lihara who stood aside, he had quick eyesight and quick hands.  With a little help, the Kanto leader was probably going to be embarrassed. When he looked at Kiragi again, his eyes were a little more awe-inspiring.  Nagao Kagetora never expected that he would use this move. He turned to look at the group of Kira retainers. Apart from being a little surprised at the huge noise, there was only an expression of excitement on his face, and everyone looked similar, which made him very happy.  Confused: "Why are they not surprised at all by such an incredible method?" Honjo Minoru was also confused. He did not have the identity restriction of Nagao Kagetora, so he shamelessly approached Yamamoto Tokiyuki and asked a few words. As a member of the Kira family,  In a sense, Yamamoto Tokiyuki's statement as the elder of the writing family, is the embodiment of Kira Yoshitoki's will.  "Don't be surprised if you keep the temple beautiful."??Our Lord's words and deeds are always unexpected, and we have long been used to it.  "    "It's that simple?  "I still don't believe it. "Yes!  It's that simple!  " Yamamoto Tokiyuki's smile was impeccable, and his tone and movements were very natural. Before Honjo Mino could continue to ask, he signaled: "Look ahead quickly!  " "Everyone has said that he can be killed, so I will make this decision again!  The chief culprit, Ishida An Yunshou, and 13 others were burned at the stake, 35 other main accomplices were beheaded, and all the remaining accomplices were hanged!  Execute now!  ¡± The Echigo samurai in charge of the execution escorted Ishida Yasumomo slowly up the steps and walked to the most conspicuous wooden stake. Only then did people suddenly realize that this big wooden stake was a torture rack used for execution. Watching the samurai use  A hemp rope as thick as a baby's fist was wrapped around Ishida An Yunshou's body, and the audience of 100,000 burst into cheers "You can't kill me!"  I will never let go of Xiang Zong, wuwu" The executing warrior thought he was verbose, so he pulled out a piece of rag and stuffed it into his mouth. Several warriors tied him up tightly, and then walked down.  The firewood, saltpeter, grease, sulfur and other tinders that had been prepared in advance were ignited on the steps. A raging fire quickly broke out, and in just a moment, half of the rack was ignited. The high flames jumped up to the criminals on the rack.  , watching them gradually being swallowed up by the fire, wailing and begging for mercy, and finally turned into ashes. At this moment, no one feels fear, no one feels disgusted, when people have the right to survive and pursue happiness.  When being violated, they can do any cruel thing, even if it means killing hundreds of people on the gallows. Toraya Souji stood under the shade of the trees in Myokakuji Temple in Naoetsu Town, looking at the scenery in the distance.  Amidst the blazing fire and the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people, he sighed and recited the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra": "At that time, the Buddha told Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: All sentient beings who have not yet been liberated have uncertain nature and consciousness.  The results of bad habits and good habits are the result of good and bad deeds. They are born in pursuit of situations. They rotate through the five realms without rest. They move through kalpas in the world and are confused by obstacles. They are like fish swimming in a net, which will continue for a long time. They escape in and out of the net and are caught in the net again"  Kira Yoshitomo sent people to inform the temples near Naoetsu in advance that they could choose whether to attend the public trial according to their own wishes. Gochi Kokubunji Temple happily went because they also received a lot of impact during the trial. There were three to four hundred people in one group.  The Ichiki army rushed around the temple and almost broke through it. In the end, the Echigo Legion came to the rescue. Kurita Kanyasu of Echigo Zenkoji also expressed his willingness to go.  After being confiscated by Kira Yoshitoki, the power of the entire Zenkoji Temple was also taken back into his hands. Now the Zenkoji who is staying in Shinano is his younger brother. Kurita Hiroaki is responsible for guarding the Honjo of Shinano Zenkoji. This time Echigo Ikki failed.  He entered Naoetsu Town, but he still decided to take this opportunity to increase his impression in front of several important people in Echigo. Looking at the burning pillar of fire swallowing more than a dozen lives, Kiragi stood at the front and witnessed all this for a long time.  Words: ¡°Everything will end in fire!  ¡± In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually dissipated, and the noisy streets in Naoetsu Town gradually returned to quiet. The mass execution in the morning stimulated people to be particularly excited. Then they were busy all day long and the number of pedestrians became very rare in the evening. Maybe they were too excited.  I went home to catch up on my sleep. In a certain pub on the corner of the street, the two funny guys who appeared earlier were sitting in the pub eating and chatting. They were noisy for a while and couldn't stop, trying to be quiet drinkers.  I asked the shopkeeper to persuade me twice but still had no effect, so I got up and left angrily. After the shopkeeper sent away the last customer with a grimace, he quietly closed the shop door and turned around with another expression: "What are you asking about?"  Sample?  Is it the Murasame?  "The two joking guys suddenly changed their poker faces and said quickly: "There is no doubt that it is the famous sword Murasame lost by Furukawa K¨­kata's family!  I also personally saw Honjo Shigenaga showing off, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!  "    "Um!  I will tell you as soon as possible, thank you for your hard work!  "The shopkeeper nodded and turned around and walked into the inner room. The two of them didn't say much. They quickly finished their meal and then got up and left in a hurry. In the inner room, he quickly wrote down the information, sealed it with mud and handed it to the deaf-mute servant on the side.  The famous shopkeeper paced quickly and whispered: "As expected, the Kira family stole Murasame!  There was nothing wrong with the leader sending me to lurk for three years. From this point of view, we need to collect every bit of Echigo's information with all our strength. The more contributions we make to our lord's great cause, the more stable our status as a Fuuma clan will be!  ¡± A few days later, in Mochizuki Castle in Saku County, Sanada Yukitaka, Yazawa Yoritsumasa and Mochizuki Shengshi had a hearty drink. They talked about nothing more than their parents¡¯ quarrels and old stories in Shinano. The relationship between the Sanada family and the Mochizuki family seems to be close. The reason is that Umino, Mochizuki, and  The three Nezu (Nezu) families are all members of the Shino clan, and the Sanada clan was originally a branch of the Mochizuki clan.It was with this relationship that Yukitaka Sanada was able to instigate a large number of Shinano people all the way, because they all came from the same clan. Yukitaka Sanada's father, Norimasa Sanada, was once the son-in-law and adopted son of his maternal grandfather Totsuna Umino. Yukitaka Sanada's father died early, and Yukitaka Sanada was  His maternal grandfather, Umino Totsuna, single-handedly raised him and trained him as an heir.  In the end, despite Umino Totsuna's objections, he left the Umino family and joined the Takeda family. From then on, he rose to fame and became the actual master of half of Shinano.  He refused, and now he was living in such a miserable state, and the Takeda family he was loyal to attacked Nishi Ueno Country where Umino Totsuna was staying, and it was even more impossible for his grandfather to come over.  Mochizuki is more than ten years older than Yukitaka Sanada, and about the same age as Tokiyuki Yamamoto. His old face is matched with a head of gray hair and a messy beard. He looks skinny and looks like a man in his sixties or seventies.  The old man, while drinking, cursed: "It's all that Kira Yoshitoki who ruined my good deeds! You bastard!" Yukitaka Sanada asked with interest: "Huh? How do you say this?" Mochizuki looked around and saw no one else.  He waved to the two brothers, got closer and whispered: "You should know that I have a branch in Omi, right?" Yazawa Yorizuna immediately came over and gossiped: "I know! It seems to be quite famous. It's called Mochizuki Izumo.  Mamoru, right? What does this have to do with Kira Yoshitsune?" "You all know that I was nearly sixty years old and my wife died in childbirth when I was giving birth to a child.  After years of wars and famines, it was difficult to maintain my livelihood, so I missed the good times. A few years ago, I sent people to Omi to contact the branch family. I wanted to have a second marriage and give birth to a son and a half daughters for me, but I never wanted to talk about it.  A good marriage was ruined by him! How disgusting!" Wang Yue Shengshi cursed angrily.  "In that case, adopting Takeda Norimu's second son as his adopted son a few years ago was a last resort!" Yazawa Yorosuna smacked his lips, thinking about how badly he would be scolded by his brother if he laughed out loud now.  Mochizuki hammered the table angrily: "I don't even have a son-in-law. It's too late to adopt a daughter. I can only watch my Mochizuki family's heirloom being taken away by the Takeda family. I, the Shino clan, have worked hard for hundreds of years for  When others make wedding clothes, do you think I should hate Kira Yoshi? " "That's really miserable!" Sanada Yukitaka thought about it briefly and said softly: "I heard that Mochizuki Izumomomo's daughter was killed by Kira Yoshi.  As a side room? I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not!¡± ¡°What?¡± Wang Yuesheng was shocked and angry, and then became depressed and depressed.  It doesn't have to be so painful for a woman to marry an ordinary samurai!" Seeing the look in his brother's eyes, Yazawa Yorizuna immediately said with a smile: "The matter has been over for a long time, so let's talk about something else!  I don¡¯t know how he came up with the idea of ??the subsequent public trial. To reveal the crime in front of hundreds of thousands of people and then execute him quickly in a public trial is really incredible!¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t know how the lord will deal with it!  What a pity for such a great opportunity" Sanada Yukitaka glanced at Mochizuki Mori who was struck by what he just said and had no intention of talking, so he immediately cut off the conversation, slowly stood up and said to him: "Thank you for the warm hospitality of Toe Mamoru.  , I¡¯m really too drunk to continue drinking with Yue Mamoru! I have something to do tomorrow, so I¡¯ll say goodbye here! Let¡¯s talk about old times at Uzakizaki Hall another day!  Get some rest early! I'll see you off!" Wang Yue took three steps in succession to see them off.   Since the sacrifice of Nagao Kagetora, Echigo's military and political style suddenly changed from gentle and gentle to vigorous and vigorous. At the April review, Echigo's dragon solemnly promised Uesugi Kensei that he would go into battle to drive away the invasion within a few months.  The Hojo clan also promised to provide 50,000 koku of Kinki rations to Ueno to help the Ueno people get through the difficult season of drought.  Uesugi Kenmasa was so excited that he almost cried. Compared to the indifferent Kira Yoshi, this man was truly warm-hearted. He then said that he would transfer the handle of the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the governor of Kanto to him, and all he had to do was become his adopted son.  It's from the Nagao family. I'm getting older and I really can't stand being frightened. I need to take care of myself for the rest of my life.  Nagao Kagetora is in a bit of a dilemma. Both he and the Nagao retainers are very interested in the Kanto leader. The most fundamental problem why the Nagao family has never been able to suppress the Echigo people is that they don¡¯t have enough status. Nagao  The family was from the Kamakura Party of the Bando Hachihei clan, and most of the large number of retainers in Echigo were also samurai families from the Bando Hachihei clan or the Fujiwara clan Hidego clan.  There are even famous Genji clans such as the Uta Genji Sasaki Clan and the Kawachi Genji Nitta Ryu. Their own family characteristics areTheir status is no worse than that of the Nagao family, and some samurai families are even worse. They look down on or are jealous of the sudden rise of the Nagao family, hate the Nagao family's inferiority, and deny the Nagao family's legal power to govern.  If there is no external intervention, this stubborn disease that has troubled Echigo for many years will continue for more than ten years. It took several rebellions to establish a relatively stable Sengoku daimyo power system. The current situation is very different. The emergence of Kira Yoshitoki has made Echigo's  The situation took a turn for the worse. The traditional samurai groups in Central Vietnam and Lower Vietnam were broken up and dispersed one by one. The development of new fields and strong force suppression greatly improved the order of Echigo.  In a few years, a threshold that could not be crossed in hundreds of years was crossed. Echigo's disobedient people of the Nagao family were defeated one by one, and other samurai families also surrendered to the big stick.  Under the carrot strategy.  Even if there are Chinese people who are greedy for Xintian's interests, they must consider how much strength and appetite they have to take advantage of them.  Unexpectedly facing a devastating attack from the Kira Legion, they are the next generation of Big Bear Asahide.  Judging from the current situation, Nagao Kagetora does not particularly need to command the Echigo retainers in the name of Kanto Governor. With the support of Kira Yoshitoki's name, it is much easier to command Echigo now. The only thing to worry about is Honjo Minoru.  , Nagao Kagenobu and other members of the public are worried. In recent years, they have expressed their concerns overtly and covertly about the Kira family's growing strength.  Deep down in Echigo, the grassroots servants and civilians all know that Echigo today comes from the Kira family, the powerful Kira Chibei, and well-armed.  The enviable treatment, the beautiful and tidy new town, and the new village that is not inferior to the town, gradually make the people of Echigo gather under the banner of the Kira family. How many people in the Nagao family wavered, and how many people joined the Kira family?  No one can tell.  "If Takeideon really does that, can our Nagao family be immune? Can my lord stay out of it?" Honjo Minoru said those heart-wrenching words that made Nagao Kagetora wake up from a dream, and things changed afterward.  I almost couldn't even recognize him. Walking around Kasugayama Castle, I didn't even feel familiar at all. If he was a wanderer who had returned from home after three years.  You will definitely get lost in a strange new town.  Unknowingly, Echigo already had a powerful national power that could overwhelm several countries, and had as many as 20,000 tigers and tigers in reserve.  He can arm another 20,000 reserve troops at any time. What on earth is he going to do?  Nagao Kagetora thought he was just trying to help the shogunate, but was he trying to help the shogunate?  Maybe, maybe not.  "Is he going to do that? No! Hasn't he always hated being submissive and rebellious? This is absolutely not the case! There must be some other reason that I don't know" If you don't stay in your position, you won't seek political power. After a few years of self-cultivation,  There are more and more things for Nagao Kagetora to think about.  When he thought of that terrible hypothesis, he couldn't help but shudder, and secretly murmured in his heart: "What will happen if we really do that? Success will be in the future. Our Nagao family will reach the sky in one step, and failure will  My Nagao family has been in infamy for a thousand years, what should I do?" Kira Yoshitoki didn't know how intense the conflict in Nagao Kagetora's heart was, but he noticed that his face turned blue and white, as if he guessed that he was there.  What was he thinking, so he said with relief: "Brother! It's hard to deny the warm hospitality of the Guanling Palace. In the past few months, I can see the sincerity of the Guanling Palace. Brother, you can consider the next step. After all, the situation in Ueno is inseparable from the Guanling Palace.  "Commander." "At first glance, it seems that Wuweidian is testing our sincerity. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed a test, but why do we always feel that something is wrong?" Uesugi Kenmasa apologized awkwardly, if not?  When Kira Yoshi was here, he could have acted like a noble nobleman in Echigo, but it was a pity that the Ashikaga family had no temper and didn't even dare to interrupt. It was really hard for him to die.  "The matter of the appointment of the Kanto Governor is of great importance. Without the approval of the shogunate and the support of the Kanto samurai family, it is still inconvenient for us to make a decision. Let's wait and see!" Nagao Kagetora is still worried, and he is so worried.  There was a reason why it was useless to quietly recognize an adoptive father in Echigo and then call himself the leader of Kanto.  The Kanto people are famous for being stubborn and conservative. If they don't go to Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine to hold a grand inauguration ceremony, those stubborn Kanto people will not pay attention. Such an inauguration ceremony is better than not taking office at all. The Nagao family cannot afford to lose that person.  As the Nagao family was in the background of the shogunate and the imperial court, Kira Yoshitoki could not afford to lose this person.  "The inauguration ceremony of the Kanto Governor really needs to be held at Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura, but it can't be done yet!" Uesugi Kenmasa also thought of this, feeling embarrassed and anxious. He didn't find it too troublesome when he was the Governor before.  , at that time, the Yamauchi Uesugi family was still the overlord of Kanto, but now it has only been ten years since they fell from the altar and became dependent on others.  "What should we do? In the main hall, we must help the Yamauchi Uesugi family!" "No matter what, I, Kagetora, will do my best to fulfill the important task entrusted to the head of the house. Helping the head of the house to expel Hojo is the top priority for now.  ." Nagao Kagetora calmed down the impatient Kensei Uesugi.: "I heard that there are two Ueno samurai beside the leader. I wonder where they are now? According to my family's investigation, they were the first to discover that Kai Torupo was in contact with Ichikei, and they also immediately called for help.  I want to thank them deeply." "The Danzhengdian is talking about them! I will send someone to invite you soon!" Uesugi Kenmasa hurriedly stood up and left.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
