Chapter 28 Six to Eleven

six Cat Room【1】 When Taiding returned to Kyoto, he paid homage to the Emperor, and reported the situation in Kanto in detail before the court. The Emperor was very happy.The ministers and the people in the hall were also overjoyed, thinking that Bingwei Zuo had an extraordinary bearing after all, unlike Kiso, Kiso became the left horse head and served as the garrison of the capital, but his behavior and speech were still so rough.Of course, it's no wonder that he lived in a mountain village called Kiso in Shinano country from the age of two until he was thirty, which is not bad for him.

Once, Mao Jianzhong Nayanguang Gaoqing went to discuss something with Kiso Yoshinaka, and the guard reported to Kiso, "Mao Jiangong is here and said he has something important to discuss with you." Kiso laughed loudly. Said: "Why, the cat wants to come to meet people?" "It's the official named Mao Jian Zhong Nayan. Mao Jian is probably the name of his home address." With such an explanation, Kiso said, "Please, please", and then Met with guests.But even so, the words "maojiangong" were still unclear, but he said: "it's rare for cats to come, so please eat." Zhong Nayan heard this and said, "you don't need to eat at this time." "It's meal time, why can't you eat it." He thought that all fresh food was called "salt-free" [2], so he said to his servant: "There are oyster mushrooms without salt, please bring them quickly." The meal was served by Nei Koyata. He chose a large rural tureen with a deep bottom, and he filled it with rice. He served three dishes, plus a bowl of oyster mushroom soup.A copy was also placed in front of Kiso.Kiso picked up his chopsticks and ate.Maojian suspected that the bowl was not clean, so he didn't even take the chopsticks.Kiso said: "This is the bowl that Yoshinaka used to worship Buddha." Zhong Nayan felt embarrassed not to eat, so he picked up chopsticks and pretended to eat.Kiso looked at it and said angrily, "The cat has a small appetite, so don't eat it like cat food." Zhong Nayan was very disappointed, and hurried back without saying a word about the matter to be discussed.

Ever since he was promoted to a high official in the imperial court, Kiso thought it was inappropriate to wear a straight skirt to enter the court, so he began to change into cloth hunting clothes, a black hat, and long trousers with knots, which looked unattractive from top to bottom.However, he liked riding a car very much, but he still wore armor, carried arrows on his back, and held a bow. He didn't have the prestige of riding a horse at all.This ox cart originally belonged to the minister who now lives in Yashima, Hirazumori, and the cowherd is still the same one.After Kuzeng captured the cowherd, he still kept him for use according to the custom at that time, but the cowherd was very angry.The cow that is usually tied to the pen for feeding is not used to the whip once it goes out to pull the cart. When he whips hard, the cow will run forward, and Kiso Gong in the cart will be thrown backward like a butterfly. Like spreading his wings, he opened his sleeves and couldn't get up.Mr. Kiso didn't call him "cowherd", but said: "The handlebar type, why, the handlebar type!" The cowherd thought he was telling him to hurry up, so he rushed to Wuliu Town in one breath.Imai Shiro Kenhei rushed over with a whip and jumped on his horse, and scolded: "Why are you driving the cart so fast?" Just grab the handle." Kiso grabbed the handle tightly and asked, "This handle is wonderful, is it made like a handlebar, or did the minister think of it?" When he came to the emperor's palace, he took the cow from the Unloaded from the car, but he got off from the back.The servant who grew up in Beijing told him: "This car has to get on from the back and get off from the front." "It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, it can get on and off at either end!" He still insisted on getting off from the back.There are many ridiculous things like this. People are afraid of him and dare not speak up.

-------------------------- 【1】Maojian is the name of Guanggao’s home address.Guang Gaoyuan's name is Guanglong, and he is the son of Zhunzhong Nayan Fujiwara Kiyotaka. [2] No salt originally refers to fresh fish that has not been salted. Here it means that Kiso is too rustic. -------------------------- seven Battle of Mizushima After the Heike established a firm foothold in Yashima in Sanuki, they regained the eight countries of Sanyodo [1] and the six countries of Nankaido [2], a total of fourteen countries.When Kiso Yoshimaka heard the news, he felt that it should not be underestimated, and immediately led his troops to conquer.Among them, Yada Judge Dai Yoshiki was the general, and Yahei Shiro Xinghiro, who lived in the sea of ​​the Shinano country, was the general of the samurai. A total of more than 7,000 riders galloped towards Sanyo Road.

On October 1st of the same year, a small boat appeared at the ferry of Mizushima. It was neither a fishing boat nor a fishing boat, but a messenger boat of the Heike family.After discovering it, Genji's army shouted, and hurriedly put more than 500 ships drying on the shore into the sea.At this time, more than 1,000 warships of the Ping family had already attacked. General Xinzhong Nayanzhi Shengqing met the enemy from the front, and General Neng ascended to guard the teaching scriptures and launched an offensive from behind.Lord Nodeng said: "Soldiers, we can't slack off. It would be shameful to let the guys from the northern country take captive. Let's connect all the boats together." So more than a thousand boats were connected with ropes, and the boats and boats The wooden boards are tied firmly between them, and the boat advances and retreats like a flat ground.The sergeants on both sides of Yuanping shouted loudly and shot at each other, and the ships approached to fight.Those who are far away will draw bows and arrows, and those who are close will fight with knives. Some fight decisively with iron rakes; some twist together and fall into the sea;Genji's samurai general Yahei Shiro of Uno was killed. After the general Yada Judge Dai Yoshiki saw it, the master and his subordinates immediately attacked in a small boat, but for some reason, they stepped on the boat and capsized, and they all fell into the sea and drowned. .The Ping family prepared the saddled horses on the boat, and when the boat approached the shore, they pulled off the horses and mounted the horses to chase down the enemy.Therefore, after the death of the general, Genji's army dispersed as if desperately.The Ping family won a complete victory in the battle of Mizushima, which wiped out the shame of Kuaiji [3].

-------------------------- 【1】The Eight Kingdoms of Sanyo Road are Harima, Misaku, Bizen, Bichu, Bingo, Aki, Shuo, and Nagato. [2] The six countries of Nankaido are Kii, Awaji, Awa, Sanuki, Yiyu, and Tosa. 【3】The story quoted here is the story of King Goujian of Yue defeating King Fuchai of Wu and finally taking revenge. -------------------------- Eight Seo's death Knowing the news of Mizushima's defeat, Kiso Yoshimaka believed that the matter should not be ignored, so he led 10,000 cavalry to Sanyo Road.Tairo Kaneyasu, a samurai of the Heike family, was captured by the resident of Kaga country, Kurakojiro Narumi, during the war in the northern country.Lord Kiso knew that he was a famous strongman in the world today, and thought it would be a pity to kill him, so he did not kill him.And Cang Guang also thinks that he is very affectionate, so he is very generous and kind to him.This is just like Su Ziqing being imprisoned by the Huns and Li Shaoqing not being able to return to the Han Dynasty. It is the so-called sorrow of the ancients in a foreign country. There is no peace in logging and mowing [2].Jiankang only thought about waiting for an opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, so as to return to the old master. This is a rare painstaking effort.

Once, Seo Taro Kaneyasu saw Kurako Saburo and said: "Mayu saved my humble life. Who else can I take as my lord besides Kiso Lord? If there is a war in the future, I Kanyasu will swear to be Kiso You are willing to sacrifice your life. It turns out that Seo, which is under my management, is a good place to grow horse grass, and I hope it will be given to me as a territory." Kurangguang reported this to Kiso.Kiso said: "These words are very touching. Then you let him go south first as the pioneer, and go there to buy some horse grass." Hearing this, Saburo Cangguang was very happy, and took thirty or so riders and horses, Seo led the way and drove to Bichu.Seo's son-in-law, Kotaro Muneyasu, was from the Heira family. When he heard that his father had been released from Kiso, he summoned more than fifty young servants to meet him.Traveling to the national capital of the Harima country [3], I met my father and his party, so they went south together.Not a day later, I came to a place called Sanshi in Bizen country and stayed at the local inn.Seo's old friend prepared wine to welcome him, and hosted a congratulatory banquet for him that night.The accompanying samurai got Cangguang Saburo and more than 30 of his followers so drunk that they were all paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move, so they killed them all one by one.Bizen country is the territory of the Juro Tibetans, and the deputy country secretary was also killed.

Afterwards it was announced: "Jianyasu came back from leave. Anyone who is loyal to the Heike family must support Jianyasu as the leader, and treat Kiso's subordinates with bows and arrows." The soldiers who prepared the horses and harnesses had all been recruited by the Hera family, and now there are only a few veterans recuperating. They either wear coarse cloth cassocks with their trouser knots nailed to the caskets, or wear coarse cloth underwear with the hem folded up. Pull it on the belt; put on simple armor, bring hunting bows and arrows, and rush to Seo's command, a total of more than 2,000 people.With Seo Taro as their leader, they built a castle near Fukuryuji Temple in Bizen, dug moats two feet wide and two feet deep, woven wooden fences with branches, and erected arrow stacks. Ready to shoot arrows, waiting to engage the enemy.

After Seo killed the agent of the Bizen Kingdom appointed by the Juro Tibetans, his subordinates fled to the capital.Fleeing to a place called Funasaka at the junction of Bizen and Harima, he met Mr. Kiso and told Mr. Kiso what had happened.Kiso said regretfully: "Hateful thing, he should have been killed long ago." Imai Shiro said: "Looking at that guy's expression is unusual, I said a thousand times that I should kill him, but finally let him go Kiso said: "I don't think he can do anything big, catch up and end him!" Imai Shiro said: "Then let me go!" After finishing speaking, he inspected more than three thousand horses and galloped away. .The area of ​​Nawate and Xiaoma in Fulong Temple is only a small area, and the total length is only one mile of the West National Highway [4]. There are swamp fields on the left and right, and horses cannot step on it to the bottom.The more than three thousand riders patted their horses and swung their whips, and let the horses run away. When they ran to the front of the castle and saw that Seo Taro was standing on the arrow stack, he said loudly: "From May until now, Domon rescued me this time." My meager lives, thank you for your kindness, for this reason, I have prepared some gifts here." After finishing speaking, the selected hundreds of strong crossbowmen fired arrows one after another, making it impossible to move forward.Headed by Imai Shiro, Niai and his sons, Miyazaki Saburo, Suwa, Fujisawa and other bloody warriors, wearing their helmets on one side, dragged the dead men and horses, filled them in the moat, and attacked with shouts; Some people jumped into the deep muddy field next to them, regardless of whether they stepped on the horse's chest or belly, and attacked in groups;At night, most of the samurai temporarily summoned by Seo died in battle, and there were not many survivors left.After Seo Taro's castle fell, he took the remnants of his troops and retreated to the Itakura River in Beichukuo, where he built fortifications to defend, but Imai Shiro immediately caught up.Seo's troops defended for a while with hunting arrows, and then fled in all directions after the arrows were exhausted.Seo Taro and the three fled along the bank of Itakura River.When fleeing to Mount Santohe, Kuramitsujiro Chengcheng, who had captured Seo in the northern country, ran into him.Cheng Cheng thought to himself, this guy killed my brother, I must capture him alive.So he rushed out of the team and chased after him alone.It took only one town to catch up.He shouted from behind: "Mr. Seo, don't you feel embarrassed to run away in such a mess? Come back quickly, come back quickly!" At this time, Seo was wading in the Itakura River to the west bank, and when he heard the shout, he stopped The horse made a fighting posture.Cang Guangcheng suddenly moved his horse forward, the two horses twisted their stirrups, they twisted each other, and they both fell off the horse.Both of them had extraordinary physical strength, they rolled up and down up and down, and finally rolled into the abyss on the shore.Cangguang didn't know water, and Seo was good at swimming, so he lifted the soft waist armor under Cangguang's armor underwater, stabbed him three times in a row, and then cut off his head.His horse was exhausted, so he put on Cangguang's horse and continued to flee.Let’s talk about Seo’s son-in-law Kotaro Soyasu, he did not ride a horse, and escaped on foot with his soldiers. Although he was a young man in his twenties and twenties, he was too fat to run even a town, so he threw away the clothes he carried with him. Equipment, still can't run.Jiankang, the father, left his son and ran for more than ten towns in one breath, then turned around and said to his soldiers: "I usually fight against thousands of enemies, and I feel that there is light everywhere, but now I have left Xiaotaro, I feel that my eyes are pitch black, and I can't see the road ahead. If I can return to the companions of the Heping family alive, my peers will laugh at me: Jiankang is over sixty years old, and he is still so timid and afraid of death, leaving his only son to escape alone. That's too shameful." Cong Zu said, "That's why I say it's better for everyone to be together, anyway, life and death are life and death! Let's turn back." Jiankang said: "That's it." Then turned back.Kotaro's leg was swollen and he was lying on the ground.Jiankang said: "Just because you can't keep up, I think it's better to fight to the death together! So I came back." Xiaotaro heard his father's words, tears streaming down, and said: "I really can't walk anymore. , should have committed suicide, but dragged you to die for me, isn't this a crime of five high crimes? You should run away quickly!" Jiankang said: "I have made up my mind not to run away." So he stayed where he was rest.At this time, Imai Shiro took the lead and led more than fifty cavalry, shouting and chasing after him.Seo Taro shot the remaining seven or eight arrows in a series, killing five or six people immediately.Then he pulled out his waist knife, cut off Kotaro's head first, then rushed into the enemy's formation, killing and hacking indiscriminately, eliminated many enemies, and finally died in battle.The soldier also took the lead bravely and fought for a long time, but he was seriously injured in many places and was unable to fight any more. He was captured before he could commit suicide, but died of his injuries within a day.The heads of the three masters and servants were hung in the egret forest in Beizhong for public display.When Mr. Kiso saw it, he said, "Ah, what a hero, you can be regarded as a warrior who can be regarded as a thousand warriors! What a pity, they should be spared."

-------------------------- [1] See Section VI of Volume VII. [2] This passage is quoted from Li Ling's answer to Su Wu, with slight changes. 【3】The Harima Country House is now Himeji City. [4] One mile of the West Country Road is about 650 meters. 【5】See Note 6, Section 6, Volume 1. -------------------------- Nine Muroyama But it is said that Lord Kiso is gathering troops at Wanshou Village in China and is about to launch an offensive on Yashima.Higuchi Jiro Kanemitsu, who was staying in the capital suddenly, sent an envoy to send a letter saying: "The Juro Tibetans flattered the Emperor of France and repeatedly slandered you while you were away. Please suspend the expedition to the Western Kingdom and enter Beijing quickly." Kiso said, "That's not bad." , They rushed to Kyoto non-stop day and night.The Juro Tibetans felt that it was not good for them, so they avoided Kiso's road to Beijing, and went to Harima by Tanba Road, while Kiso gong traveled to Kyoto via Settsu.

The Heike family wanted to challenge Kiso again, and the generals they sent were: Shinchu Nayanzhi Shengqing, and the three lieutenant generals Shigei; the warrior generals were: Koshichu Jirobei Shengsi, Shangzong Gorobei Zhongguang, and Evil Qibei Jing Qing, with a total force of more than 20,000 cavalry and more than a thousand warships, sailed to Harima Kingdom, and set up a formation in Muro Mountain.The Juro Tibetan wanted to fight with the Heike family to repair the relationship with Kiso, so he led more than 500 horsemen to attack Muroshan.The Heira family set up five positions, one led by Kotsuchu Jiro Bingwei Moritsu with more than 2,000 cavalry, the second led by the parents of Iga Heinai Zaemon, and the third led by Kamso Goro Bingwei Tadamitsu and Evil. The Seventh Army Guard Jing Qing led more than 3,000 cavalry, the fourth formation was led by three lieutenant generals Chong Hengqing with more than 3,000 cavalry, and the fifth formation was led by Xinzhong Nayanzhi Shengqing with more than 10,000 cavalry. Each formation was strictly guarded.Shilang Tibetan expert led more than 500 horsemen to attack with shouts.After a while, Koshichu Jiro Bingwei Sheng Si refused to fight, and he gave way to the middle to let the enemy rush over.Iga Heinaizaemon of the second team still dodges to let him pass.The upper chief Goro Bingwei and the Evil Seventh Bingwei of the third formation also made way for them to rush over.The three lieutenant generals Chong Hengqing of the fourth formation also asked them to rush into the formation.From one to five formations, according to the previously planned deployment, lure the enemy into deep, surround them, and then suddenly shout together to launch an offensive.The Shilang Tibetans knew that they had been tricked, how could they escape, so they rushed forward bravely, desperately rushing to kill.The warriors of the Heike family shouted: "Fight with the generals of the Tongyuan clan!"Juro Tibetan is indeed a great general, no samurai can match him.The warriors such as Ki Qizaemon, Ki Hachiemon, and Ki Kuro, who were always valued by Shinchunayan and regarded as their arms, were all killed by the Juro Tibetans.After fighting like this for a long time, only about 30 of the 500 Tibetans of Shilang remained.The enemy army was surrounded on all sides, and there was not much left on our side. It seemed that there was no way to break out of the encirclement, so we resolutely charged at the gathered enemies, and finally rushed out of the enemy formation.Although the Shilang Tibetan himself was not injured, most of the 20 or so riders of his tribe were injured.They set off from Takasago in Harima by boat, fled to Izumi, crossed Hanoi, and retreated to Nagano Castle to hide.The Heike family won two victories in Muroyama and Mizushima, and their momentum grew stronger. -------------------------- [1] Settsu country is part of the eastern part of Hyogo Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture. -------------------------- ten drum judge Genji's army filled the capital, they broke into houses everywhere, and plundered property, even Kamo, Hachiman and other Jingu's territories could not escape.Or cut young crops to feed horses, or forcibly open private warehouses to rob, or strip pedestrians of their clothes.People commented one after another: "When the Heike family was in Beijing, they only felt that Liupoluo was a little scared, but they never did robbing houses; Genji did everything when he came to the city." Let's say that when Kiso left horse head returned to Kyoto, the Emperor immediately sent envoys to ask him to calm down the chaos.This envoy was Iki Judge Tomoyasu, the son of Iki Shouzhiqin, who was a well-known drummer all over the world, so he was called Drum Judge at that time.When Mu Zeng saw him, he didn't answer the imperial edict, but asked first: "People call you the drum judge. I wonder if this drum is played for everyone or for you?" Zhikang didn't answer, and went back to the emperor to tell : "Yizhong is very presumptuous, and now he is hostile to the court, and he should send troops to attack quickly." But the emperor was unable to recruit talented warriors at that time, and only ordered the elders of Enli Temple and the abbot of Mijing Temple to call them to the temple. Monks who can fight; and the ministers and the court officials can only gather some street rogues, scoundrels, hooligans, beggars and so on. As soon as the news of Kiso Yoshinaka's offense against the Emperor came out, all the armies of the five Kinai kingdoms [1] who had been attached to Kiso defected to the Emperor; Murakami Saburo of the Shinano Minamoto clan also defected from Kiso and surrendered to the Emperor.Imai Shiro said: "This matter is no small matter. If we don't honor Emperor Dai Shengming, how can we go to war? We should wear armor and bow, and ask the emperor for sin." After one battle, I attacked Mount Dilang, Heisaka, Shiozaka, and Shinohara in the northern country, and Nawate, Xiaora, and Itakura Castle in Fulong Temple in the western country. It can be said that I am invincible. Even Emperor Shengming Wouldn't Yujia relax his bow and ask him for guilt. To put it bluntly, with the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, wouldn't he not even feed a horse? There is no food in the army. It is not unreasonable for those young people to break into the houses outside the city to plunder some property. As for the disturbance of the Gongqing's mansion, it is a complete misunderstanding. It is a trick of the drum judge to frame people. Let him smash it! This is Yoshinaka's last battle, let Yoritomo see our methods. All warriors, let's fight!" After saying that, he led his army and set off.All the soldiers from the northern kingdom fled, leaving only six or seven thousand horsemen.He still divided the soldiers into seven groups as usual.The first group led by Imai Shiro Kenhei with 2,000 riders attacked the rear of the Shin-Kumano Shrine. The remaining six troops took the situation of surrounding the Hoju Temple where the Emperor lived, and gathered from each block path through the river beach to Qijo Kawara. The password was issued. They split up and acted. The battle began on the morning of November 19th.Fazhu Temple also gathered more than 20,000 soldiers. In order to prevent confusion with the enemy, pine leaves were tied on the helmets.Kiso galloped to the west gate of Fazhu Temple, but saw Zhikang, the drum judge, commanding the horses there. He was wearing a red battle robe, no armor, but only a helmet with the portraits of the Four Heavenly Kings painted on it. On the dirt wall, one hand is holding a vajra bell, shaking it constantly, and making dancing postures from time to time.The young ministers and the people in the hall laughed at him and said, "It's really out of place! Zhikang must be fascinated by the tengu!" Training and obedience. Although it is the last days of the decline of Buddhism, how can you fight against the emperor and draw your bow and arrow! The arrows you shoot will definitely return to shoot at yourself. The knives you draw will definitely cut yourself! As soon as he reprimanded these few words, Kiso shouted sharply: "Don't let him talk nonsense!" The soldiers immediately let out a burst of shouts. In addition, Higuchi Jiro Kanemitsu, who was sent to attack from the rear, also shouted from the Shin-Kumano Shrine, and shot arrows with sparks into the palace of Hojuji Temple.Just when there was a strong wind, the fire burned more and more vigorously due to the wind. In an instant, the sky was covered by flames and the sun was covered by black smoke. Zhikang, who commanded the battle, saw that the situation was not good, and ran away first.As soon as the main general fled, the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers went there desperately.Because of the panic, some took the bow and forgot the arrow, some took the arrow and forgot the bow, some stabbed their own feet with a long knife upside down, and some couldn't take off the bow because it was hanging on other objects. He abandoned his bow and fled.The Minamoto Army of the Settsu Kingdom, who had been defending at the end of the Seven Avenues, fled westward from the Seven Avenues.Just because the Pope issued an order before the battle began: "If anyone who escapes is found, he will be killed", so the local residents set up protective panels on the roof, collected a lot of stones that were ready to smash people, and waited to deal with deserters.When they saw the Yuanjia army of the Setjin Kingdom being defeated, they said, "Hey, these are deserters!" They picked up stones and threw them down continuously.The soldiers of the Yuan family said: "We are soldiers of the Emperor, don't make a mistake." But the people in the room still shouted: "Don't listen to him, the Emperor has orders, let him be shot, just smash him to death!" come over.So some people escaped by chance by abandoning their horses; some were crushed to death on the spot.The end of the Eight Avenues was guarded by monks from Mount Hiei. Those who were loyal and refused to retreat were all killed, and those who were despicable all fled. Zhu Shuizheng [2] Qincheng was wearing a light blue hunting suit and a light green waist armor, riding a white war horse, and fled upstream along the river bank.Kanepei Imai Shiro caught up and shot him through the skull with an arrow.Kisei is the son of Lai Ye, Qing Da Geji [3]. Some people commented on him: "This is a doctor of Mingjing, and he should not have changed into a samurai costume." killed in battle.In addition to him, the soldiers who were damaged by the emperor include: Omi Lieutenant Admiral Qing and Echizen Shouxinxing, both of whom were shot to death and took their heads; Hoki Shouguangchang and his son Danguan Guangjing, both father and son were also killed According to Chadanayan Zixianqing's grandson, Major General Harima Yaxian, wearing armor and a black hat, went into battle and was captured alive by Jiro Higuchi.The master of the roof seat of Mount Hiei, Mingyun Dasengzheng, and the abbot of Mitsui Temple, Prince Enqingfa, hid in the Fahuang Palace. Forced by black smoke, they rode on royal horses and fled to Heyuan in a hurry. Random arrows.Monk Ming Yunzheng and Prince Yuan Qingfa were both shot, fell off their horses, and their heads were cut off. Fujiwara Yasuke, the state secretary and minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Bungo Kingdom, was also hiding in the Fahuang Palace, but because of the flames, he fled to Kawara in a hurry.There, he was attacked by a lower-level samurai, stripped off his clothes, and stood there naked.It was the morning of November 19th, and the wind in Heyuan was extremely cold.His uncle, Echizen Fayan Xingyi [4], had a monk who was doing errands under him go to Heyuan to watch the war, and happened to see Lai Ziqing standing there naked, said "It's amazing", and hurried forward .Under his tunic he wore two white linen underwear, one of which should have been taken off for him, but instead of the undershirt he took off the tunic and gave it to him.Lai Ziqing put on a short jacket from the top of his head to his body, and didn't wear a belt. His appearance was really embarrassing.In this way, accompanied by monks wearing white cloth underwear, they walked forward, but they still did not rush. They stood here and there, and asked as they walked, "Whose house is this? Whose residence is that? Is this Where?" The passers-by who saw him clapped their hands and laughed non-stop. The emperor called Yu Yu and drove to another place.The warriors shot over with arrows one after another.Major General Bungo Zongzhang, wearing an apricot red straight gown and a black hat, accompanied the Pope, and hurriedly said: "The Pope is out on a tour, don't make a mistake." The warriors immediately got off their horses and respected him.The major general asked: "Who are you?" He replied: "Yajima Shiro Yuzuna, a resident of Shinano country." After announcing his name, he ordered Yuyu to transfer to Wujo's palace, where it was closely guarded. Emperor Toba departed from the water on a royal ship.The warriors shot arrows here again and again.Qitiao's attendants Xin Qing and Ji Yishou Fan Guang accompanied him on the boat, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is here, don't make any mistake." The warriors got off their horses and saluted after hearing this.It didn't take long to arrive at Xiandianyuan.This time, the misery of the ceremony is really indescribable in words. -------------------------- [1] The five kingdoms in Kinai include: Yamashiro State, Yamato State, Hanoi State, Izumi State, and Settsu State. 【2】The main water is the chief of the main water department in the palace, in charge of bottles, ice, porridge, ice room and other affairs. 【3】Great Waiji of the Qing Dynasty: Waiji is an official in charge of documents under the minister of the Taizheng.Qing is the abbreviation of the person's surname "Qingyuan". 【4】Xingyi is the dharma name, Fayan is the official position, and Echizen is the place name of his original place. eleven Battle at Fajuji Temple Omi Shounaka, who served as a guard for the Emperor, had more than 50 riders. When he was guarding the west gate of Hojuji Temple, Yoshitaka, the crown prince of Omi Genji Yamamoto, came to report: "We are fighting here to defend Who is it! The Emperor of France and the Emperor of Heaven have already moved to other places." Zhong Jian said, "Okay then." He shouted and rushed into the surrounding enemy army, fought fiercely, and finally broke through the encirclement and ran out.Their master and slave had only eight cavalry in total.Among them was a monk named Kaga Fang, who belonged to Hanoi's Herb Fragrance Party, and rode a grizzled white war horse with an extremely irritable temperament.He complained: "This horse is irritable and doesn't obey." Zhong Jian said: "In that case, please change to my horse!" So he exchanged his chestnut white-tailed horse for Kaga Fang.Their master and subordinate eight cavalry led more than two hundred enemy cavalry to Nejing Onota, who was defending at Kawarasaka, and rushed over with shouts. Five cavalry were shot dead by the defenders in a moment, leaving only the master and subordinate three cavalry.Although Kagabo changed to ride the lord's horse, he was finally killed in battle. There was a man named Shinano Jiro from the clan of Zhongjian, a native Tibetan, who was surrounded by enemy troops and didn’t know where Zhongjian was. When he saw a chestnut-colored white-tailed horse, he called his servants and said, “This horse is from Zhongjian, a Tibetan. Jian's horse, it seems that he has been killed in battle. We have made a covenant of life and death. It is a pity that we cannot die together. Which position did he rush into?" He replied: "He rushed into Kawarasaka's position , I saw his horse rushing out from there just now." "Then you go back quickly and tell the people in your hometown about our dying situation." After speaking, he rode forward alone and shouted loudly: "I am Prince Thonshi [1] Nine generations of Miao descendants, Shinano Mori Nakashige's second son, Shinano Jiro Tibetan Nakayori, born at the age of 27, come here if you have the guts, and fight to the death with me." After speaking, he galloped in all directions, Killing east and west, killing many enemies, in the end they were outnumbered and died in battle.Tibetan Zhongjian would never have thought of this matter in his dreams.He, his elder brother Hanoi Shou, and a follower fled southward.Traveling to Mount Kibata, I happened to meet the regent Fujiwara Kichitsu, who had left Kyoto for fear of the war and was heading for Uji.The regent thought they were the remnants of Kiso's party, so he stopped the imperial chariot and asked, "Who is here?" He replied, "Zhong Jian, Zhong Xin." Come at the right time, just be on my side to defend." They accepted the order respectfully, escorted him to Uji's hometown, and then rushed to Hanoi. On the second day, the 20th, Kiso left horse head standing on six river plains and asked people to count the heads that had been chopped off yesterday, a total of 630 heads.The heads of the master Mingyun Dasengzheng, the head of the roof seat of Mt. Hiei, and the abbot of Mitsui Temple, Prince Enkeibo, were also hung there, and everyone who saw them shed tears.Kiso led an army of more than 7,000 horses and rode eastward. When he set off, he shouted three times in a row, as if shaking the sky.There was a sudden commotion in the capital, but it sounded like cheers of joy. So Shao Nayan, the son of Taoist Xinxi and the prime minister Changjiao, came to the emperor's residence in Wutiao and said to the guard: "I have something important to report, please report it." The warrior ignored him.He had no choice but to enter a house, shaved off his hair immediately, put on a black monk's robe, dressed up as a monk, stepped forward again and said, "That's all right, please let me in." This time he was let in. .Changjiao came to the Emperor and reported to the Emperor one by one the important people killed in the war.The emperor couldn't help crying and said: "Mingyun died unexpectedly. I should have died in this riot, but I survived!" After speaking, the tears continued. Mu Zeng convened a family tribal discussion and said: "Yizhong has defeated the Lord of the Day. Is it better to be the Emperor or the Emperor? If he becomes the Emperor, he has to comb his hair like a boy; if he becomes the Emperor, he has to shave his head like a monk. It’s ugly. I think I’ll be Guanbai!” At this time, Fang Jueming, the secretary of the army, said: “Guanbai has always been a descendant of Ozhikan [2] and a descendant of the Fujiwara family. You are Genji One branch, something is wrong!" "That can't be done." So he proclaimed himself the emperor's stable house [3], and took Danba country as his territory.He didn't know that the emperor was called the emperor because he was a monk, and he didn't know that the emperor was underage so he combed his boyish hair. It was too ignorant.He also wanted to marry the daughter of the former Guanbai Fujiwara Jifang, and after a while, he really became the son-in-law of Mr. Fujiwara. On November 23 of the same year, forty-nine people, including Nayan Fujiwara Tomogata and others, were dismissed from their official posts and imprisoned.Compared with the dismissal of forty-three officials when the Ping family was in power, this is even more domineering. However, it was said that Kiso was so ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, that Kamakura's former soldier Yoritomo Sagamoto was quite annoyed, and wanted to raise troops to further attack, so he notified his younger brothers Pu Guanzhe Fan Lai[4] and Kuro Kanzhe Yoshitsune to attack Kyoto.But Fan Lai and Yoshitsune heard that Kiso burned the Hoju Temple and detained the Emperor, causing black smoke everywhere, so they discussed and said: "It is not appropriate to attack the capital so rashly, and take action after reporting in Kamakura in detail. "The two of them went to Atsuta Omiyaji [5] in Owari State, and it happened that the palace judge Kotomo and Fujiuchi Zaemon came here from the capital to report the situation in Beijing, so they reported Kiso's various evil deeds in detail. tell.After listening to Yoshitsune, he said: "The judges in the palace should report to Kamakura in person. If an envoy who doesn't know the details goes there, the Duke of Kamakura will ask carefully, and it may be difficult to explain." Went to Kamakura.All the servants fled because they were afraid of fighting, and only the fifteen-year-old concubine Gongmao accompanied him.After coming to Kamakura and explaining the whole story to Bingwei Zuo Laichao in detail, Bingwei Zuo was shocked and said: "The drum judge Zhikang acted improperly, which led to the burning of the Imperial Palace and the murder of eminent and famous monks. It is really hateful. Zhikang has violated the imperial edict. If you continue to appoint me, I am afraid there will be big troubles." After saying this, he immediately sent envoys to the capital.The drum judge flew to Kamakura day and night to explain the reason for the mistake.Bingweizuo just said coldly: "I don't see this idiot, I have nothing to say." Zhikang went to Bingweizuo's mansion for several days to ask to see him, but he didn't meet him in the end, lost all his dignity, and returned to Kyoto.It was later heard that he lived in seclusion near the Inari Shrine and was dying. Kiso Zuomatou sent an envoy to the Taira side, saying: "Come quickly to the capital and conspire against the Eastern Kingdom." It is also inappropriate for Zhongxiang to return to the capital. Emperor Shengming is here with three kinds of artifacts, and he should immediately order him to disarm and ride his bow to surrender." Such an answer, of course, Kiso refused to accept.Songdian Imitogong [6] asked Kiso to come to his mansion and said: "Although Qingshenggong has committed countless evils, he has also done many rare and rare benevolent deeds, and has maintained the peace of the world for more than 20 years. It is impossible to only do evil and do good. In the long run, those officials you dismissed should all be reinstated." Although Kiso was a reckless warrior, this time he listened to the advice and restored all those dismissed officials to their posts.Shijia, the son of Imito Matsuden, was Lieutenant General of Chunayan at that time, and was promoted to Minister Regent under Kiso.At this time, it happened that there was no vacant seat for the minister, so he lent the position of Minister of the Interior of Shidinggong [7], the left general of Tokudaiji Temple, to Shijia, and let him be the Minister of Internal Affairs.Therefore, the world called the new regent the "Borrowing Minister". On December 10 of the same year, the Emperor left the palace in Wujo and moved to the mansion of Dashan doctor Chengzhong, the Xidongyuan in Liujo.On the 13th of the same month, the end-of-year Buddhist ceremony was held in the palace as usual, and then the officials were discussed and the appointment and dismissal were determined.Everything was arranged according to Kiso's intention, and the official positions of each person were arranged.这时，平家在西国，兵卫佐在东国，木曾本人则在京师扩张他的势力范围。这正好象西汉东汉期间，王莽篡取天下掌政一十八年的情形一样。四方的关卡一律禁止通行，交给朝廷的租税无法输纳，给私人的年贡也无法进京，京中上下人等都如同没水的鱼，苟延残喘，勉强度日。就在这危难之中迎来了寿永三年。 -------------------------- 【1】敦实亲王是宇多天皇的皇子，宇多源氏的远祖。 【2】参见第一卷第十一节注七。 【3】厩舍别当即厩舍的长官，主管御用马匹。 【4】蒲冠者范赖是源义朝之子，源赖朝的异母弟，因生于远江国滨名郡伊势大神宫的蒲御厨，所以名前加一蒲字。 【5】热田大宫司即热田神社的神职长官，历代均由藤原季兼的子孙担任。 【6】松殿入道公：藤原基房于治承三年(1159)被平清盛贬为太宰权帅时出家，法号善观。 【7】实定公：实定是藤原公能之子，行内大臣。
