松倉長門守勝家の留守居の侍十四騎、鉄砲八十挺、雑兵三百人ほどで深江村へ押し寄せ、郷人たちを捕らえようとしたところ、一揆勢千人ほどが現れて鉄砲で攻撃してきたため、騎馬武者五六騎、雑兵百人ほどが討たれて高来城へ退却した。一揆勢は続いて追いかけ、この勢いで城を取ろうとして城下の町を焼き、城戸を破って攻め入った。しかし城の武士たちが強く防いで鉄砲を撃ちかけたので、一揆勢二百人ほどが討たれて退却した。

また、今晩島原城内において諸士が集まり、岡本新兵衛が申すには「今度思いがけず一揆が蜂起した。しかし主君松倉は江戸にいる

ので、我等の指示に従うように。その忠不忠、功績の浅深は神や八幡も見ておられる。私心があってはならない」として、杖で人数を分け、左方は城を守り、右方は打って出るとした。一人も臆病者はいない。新兵衛と主水を大将として五六十騎、雑兵三百余人が出撃した。深江村の前方に山があり、新兵衛は伏兵がいることを察し、足軽を一面に立て、武士は下に立てて押し進んだ。案の定、伏兵一千余人がいて鉄砲を撃ち合い、その後は切り合いとなり、双方に死人や手負いが多く出た。この時、近藤与兵衛、松田右衛門が討死した。竹村新右衛門、中西甚五兵衛は「勝利を得た上は引き取って、重ねて出撃すべきだ。もし敵が跡を

Matsukura Nagato-no-kami Katsuie's retainer samurai, fourteen horsemen with eighty firearms and about three hundred foot soldiers, pressed toward Fukae village to capture the villagers. However, about a thousand insurgents appeared and attacked with firearms, so five or six mounted warriors and about a hundred foot soldiers were killed, forcing a retreat to Takaki castle. The insurgents continued to pursue them, and with this momentum tried to take the castle by burning the castle town, breaking through the castle gates and attacking. However, the castle's samurai defended strongly and fired back with firearms, so about two hundred insurgents were killed and retreated.

Also, tonight in Shimabara castle, various samurai gathered and Okamoto Shinbei said: "This time an unexpected uprising has occurred. However, since our lord Matsukura is in Edo,

you must follow our commands. The gods and Hachiman are watching your loyalty or disloyalty, and the depth of your achievements. There must be no self-interest." Using his staff to divide the forces, he ordered the left wing to defend the castle and the right wing to sally forth. There was not a single coward. With Shinbei and Mondo as generals, fifty to sixty horsemen and over three hundred foot soldiers sortied out. There was a mountain in front of Fukae village, and Shinbei, sensing there were ambush troops, arranged the ashigaru in front and positioned the samurai below as they advanced. As expected, there were over a thousand ambush troops who exchanged gunfire, and afterward engaged in sword fighting, with many dead and wounded on both sides. At this time, Kondo Yohei and Matsuda Uemon were killed in battle. Takemura Shinemon and Nakanishi Jingobei said, "Having gained victory, we should withdraw and sally forth again. If the enemy follows us..."
