と相図を定め、纏を立て昼夜その村々を備え固めていたところ、五日の昼、何国の者やら臼田へ通りかかり、「上州南牧より騒動起こり、余地峠を越え押し付け、これへ参るべし」と言ったので、「すわや、ここぞ」と早く、雄の若者ども稲荷山にて狼煙を上げ、鐘太鼓を打ち鳴らせば、近郷の大沢・本所町・取手・湯原・小田切残らず橋場へ集まり、「今やおそし」と待ちかけていたが、元より妄説なれば何の沙汰もなく、遠見として二三人遣わし、「誠に来るならば又々相図致すべし」とて七つ時皆々村々へ帰っていった。松本でも平賀より右の次第言上あり、固めとして者頭駒井彦左衛門・板橋東藤・御鉄砲方沢柳友三郎その外同心五十二人、都合百二人、米三十六俵、武具の類残らず小荷駄四十疋にて平賀御役所を固められ、その外御支配を見回り致された。諏訪では和田峠を固められ、松本では保福寺・塩尻両峠を固め、諸方の騒ぎを鎮めなされば、平賀固めの一頭は先ず松本へ立ち帰られた。小県郡依田の庄は五日暮れ方に千曲川布の下の橋を中の間引き落とし、繰舟の縄切り落とし、石井河原・猫ヶ瀬という所を固め、廻状届き次第追々

They established these signals, set up banners, and fortified those villages day and night. On the afternoon of the 5th day, some person from an unknown province passed through Usuda and said, "A riot has broken out in Nanmoku in Jōshū [Kōzuke Province], and they will cross Yochi Pass and press forward to come here." Upon hearing "Now is the time! Here they come!" the brave young men quickly lit signal fires on Mount Inari and beat bells and drums. People from the neighboring villages of Ōsawa, Honjō-machi, Toride, Yuhara, and Otagiri all gathered at the bridge without exception, waiting expectantly saying "They should come soon now." But since this was originally a false rumor, nothing came of it. They sent two or three men as lookouts, saying "If they truly come, we shall signal again," and at the hour of the Monkey (around 4 PM) everyone returned to their respective villages. In Matsumoto as well, the above circumstances were reported from Hiraga, and as fortification, group leader Komai Hikozaemon, Itabashi Tōtō, gunnery officer Sawayanagi Tomosaburō, and 52 other retainers - 102 men in total - along with 36 bales of rice and all kinds of weapons loaded on 40 pack horses were sent to fortify the Hiraga government office, and they also patrolled other areas under their jurisdiction. In Suwa they fortified Wada Pass, and in Matsumoto they fortified both Hofuku-ji and Shiojiri passes. As the disturbances in various places were calmed, the head of the Hiraga fortification first returned to Matsumoto. In Yoda-no-shō in Chiisagata District, on the evening of the 5th day, they removed the middle section of the bridge at Nunoshita on the Chikuma River, cut the ropes of the ferry boats, and fortified the places called Ishii Kawara and Nekogase, with more [fortifications] following as circular notices arrived...
