different warring states of japan

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know that he wasn't the only one who was eager to join hands with the Oda family.In Sakai Port, someone is more impatient than her.

Sakai Port Port Area, Church.

As the sun rose, Louis and Floys presided over today's morning prayer, but after everyone dispersed, she stopped one person.

The sunlight penetrated into the nave from the glass on the top of the church and sprinkled on the faces of the two.Floys crossed himself on his chest and prayed to her father that her plot would succeed.

"Dear Augustus, you have been stranded in Sakai Port these days and will not return. Will doing so arouse the resentment of the lord you are loyal to?"

The person in front of Floys is President Xiaoxi, who believes in the Nanman religion. She shook her head with a smile and explained.

"I wrote back to the Uki family, and the lord is very interested in my connection with the powerful Daimyo Oda family.

She hoped that I could keep this hard-won friendship and allowed me to temporarily stay in Sakai Port. "

Floyd laughed.

"This is all the government's will, which is really good news."

President Xiaoxi said solemnly.

"I also have one thing I hope to get help from the church. The Murakami navy in the Nishiseto Inland Sea has attached itself to the Mori family, posing a great threat to Ukita.

My lord hopes that I can attract water pirates in Sakai Port, buy and build ships, and use them to protect Ukita's territory.

To accomplish this task, I need the help of the church. "

Floyd nodded and said.

"I will contact the believer merchants in Sakai Port for you, and provide you with personnel and material support.

The church very much hopes that pious believers like you can gain more power in this country, which is beneficial to our common cause, the noble cause of spreading the glory of * to this land.

Of course, the lords of the Yuxi family need to pay for this. "

Chief Xiaoxi laughed.

"It's natural, Yuxijia will not be stingy with friends who provide help."

Floys smiled slightly, and talked about the real reason why she left President Xiaonishi.

"Dear Augustus, what do you think of this Miyoshi Oda battle?
Will the Oda family be able to defeat the Miyoshi family and continue to maintain their dominance in Sakai Port? "

President Xiaonishi said seriously.

"I have tried Hashiba Hidecho, she is Hashiba Hideyoshi's agent who stayed with me in Sakai Port to deal with the source of goods.

According to her, [-] soldiers came to the Oda family this time.Miyoshi's family came across the sea, and there was not enough time, so there were only more than [-] soldiers transported here.

Judging from the number of people, the Oda family has a great chance of winning. "

Floyd nodded and said.

"According to the information brought back by believers in the periphery, the Oda army has already occupied Temmamori, Kawaguchi, Watanabe, Kanzaki, Kami-Namba, Shimo-Namba, Hamate, and is making pre-war arrangements.

The Oda army surrounded Noda Castle and Fukushima Castle, and the guards under the command of Oda Lord personally deployed defenses at Shitennoji. "

Konishi frowned, and the terrain around Sakai Port flashed in her mind.

The Miyoshi family landed from Osaka Bay, and the Noda Township they occupy is actually an outlying island of silt washed out of the sea by the river. It is surrounded by water and is divided into a square shape by the Nakatsu River and the Kizu River.

Noda Castle is closer to the open sea, while Fukushima Castle is further inland on the banks of the river.

The Oda family surrounded the two cities, which did not surprise Governor Xiaonishi.To her surprise, Oda Nobunaga's headquarters is located.

Ishiyama Honganji Temple is not an isolated city, but a group of temple port towns with Honganji Temple at its core, only a few kilometers away from Noda Township.

Noda Township is in the north, Ishiyama is in the south, and Shitennoji Temple, occupied by Oda Nobunaga, is further south.

In other words, the Oda army not only surrounded Noda Township, but Ishiyama Honganji Temple was also caught in the middle by the Oda army from south to north.

President Xiaoxi pondered for a while and said.

"The bridges leading to Noda Township are all in the north of Norada, and the battle between the Oda family and the Miyoshi family should be mainly in the north.

His Highness Oda arranged the army in the south of Noda Township, it was difficult to cross the river to support, and it was used to isolate the connection between Miyoshi's family and Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

She set up formations at Shitennoji Temple herself, but she was actually worried that Yixiangzong would intervene in the war, so she set up formations in the north and south to suppress Ishiyama Honganji Temple, in case Yixiangzong would help Miyoshi's family. "

Floys said with a serious expression.

"Augustus, you know I don't understand military affairs, please judge one thing for me based on your experience of this island nation's war.

Is there a complete loss of trust between the current Ishiyama Honganji Temple and the Oda Army?
If, I mean, if the city wall on the Shishan side was shot by muskets at this time, would the tense nerves of both sides react violently, directly triggering a battle? "

President Xiaonishi understood in his heart that Floys couldn't wait for the Ichiko sect to break with the Oda family, and decided to let Nanman teach himself to fire the first shot.

She thought about it carefully, nodded slowly under Floys' expectant eyes, and said firmly.

"It will definitely be fought!

As far as I know, His Highness Oda is not ignorant of Ichiko Sone's anti-Oda behavior. He once asked Ishiyama Honganji to pay [-] kan as condolences, but Master Xianru sternly refused.

The dissatisfaction with the Oda family among the middle and lower classes has long been filled with hay, and only one spark is missing.In the event of an iron cannon shooting, the middle and lower class believers will inevitably choose to go alone and attack the Oda family.

If there was bloodshed between the Yixiangzong and the Oda family, it seemed that the Master could only choose to break up and go to war, and there was no possibility of turning back. "

Religious belief is a double-edged sword. As the supreme leader of Yixiangzong, Master Xianru is actually riding on the back of a tiger.

The tiger under her body went berserk, the only thing she could do was to follow the tiger's animal nature, and first ensure that she would not be overthrown.As for other long-term considerations, they have to stand aside before saving their lives.

Floys showed a satisfied smile and said.

"I understand, thank you very much for your analysis. I believe that the bullets of the Oda family will fall on the villages of Louzhian and Kawaguchi soon."

President Xiaoxi nodded silently, and said again.

"Then the Oda family must act quickly.

Because based on my understanding of Japanese samurai, when surrounded by powerful enemies, the Hime samurai regiment with internal conflicts like the Miyoshi family is likely to choose to ask for peace negotiations.

If the iron cannon of the Oda family fired too late, it might be too late. "

Floyd nodded cautiously.

"I believe it will not be too late."

The two talked about the Oda family, but they both knew in their hearts that this shot must have been fired by a Nanman believer.

The prospect of a war between the Ichiko sect and the Oda family is really wonderful for the Nanban sect.

---

The Nanman Religion, which came along with the Nanman trade, used the benefits of trade and technology to open the way, and soon allowed the samurai daimyo of Kyushu Island to loosen religious restrictions and gain a firm foothold.

After successfully establishing the Diocese of Kyushu, the Nanban Sect continued eastward and set foot on Sakai Port on the other side of the Seto Inland Sea. It wanted to repeat the old tricks and use the Nanban trade to open the door of missionary work.

Yixiangzong claims to be a guardian of Buddhism, and has always used the brutal method of physical destruction to prevent the spread of Nanmanism in Setjin and even recent days, and is regarded by Nanmanism as the greatest threat.

However, Yixiangzong's grassroots organizational structure is complete, its mobilization power is over the top, fanaticism is not afraid of death, and behind it is the support of several Buddhist sects who are afraid of the powerful spread of Nanmanism.

The Southern Barbarian Sect, which failed to make lures, was unable to make use of its strengths to expand rapidly, and was blocked by Yi Xiangzong's success in preaching.

Floys wanted to use the Oda family to eliminate the biggest stumbling block of the Nanban Religion in Settsu, and went to Somoto-san Ishiyama Honganji to prepare for the first shot for both sides.

At the same time, Honnoji Nichigen, who had endured for many years in Kyoto, finally got the opportunity he dreamed of, and the fire of revenge in his heart was already blazing.

Honnoji Temple, quiet room.

Honnoji Rixuan looked at the pious believers in front of him and asked softly.

"Are you sure that Yanli Temple Jueshu didn't know about this matter?"

The man nodded.

"Hi, Venerable Jueshu went to Beijing to participate in the Buddhist meeting after autumn, and has not been on Mount Hiei.

It was the religious group in charge of the Enryaku Temple that accepted the bribes from the Asai family and decided to lend troops to the Asai Asakura coalition forces to attack Sakamoto Castle.

Sakamoto castle guard Mori Kasei led his troops to move to Usayama Castle, and fought a small-scale battle with Asai Asakura's allied forces at the bottom of Sakamoto Town, and the outcome was tied.

With her guarding the entrance of Sakamoto, Asai Asakura's coalition forces should not enter for a while.She probably didn't know that Mount Hiei had decided to join the war, and her army was about to be flanked. "

Honnōji Rixuan couldn't help laughing, Youdao Gaoni's compassionate face was torn to pieces by the ferocious smile.

"Okay! Immediately notify the believers of our sect in Sen Kecheng's army and ask them to find a way to create chaos. This battle may be defeated but not won. It is best for Sen Kecheng to die at Sakamoto's mouth.

Remember, you must confirm the cause and effect of the Hiei Sanni soldiers participating in the battle, which led to the defeat of the Oda Army. "

The man nodded firmly, and left.Honnōji Rixuan sat motionless, staring blankly ahead for a long time, and then let out a long breath.

The bloody feud of the Nichiren School finally had the possibility of repaying it.

During the middle period of the Kamakura Shogunate, Nichiren Master put forward a new interpretation of the Lotus Sutra, which was highly respected by the Tendai School, and created Nichiren Hokke School himself.

In the next two hundred years, the two sects debated Buddhist doctrines at Buddhist meetings many times. The Tendai Sect gradually lost to the Nichiren Sect, and the Lotus Sutra sect was about to change hands.

At that time, the power of the Nichiren sect was at the height of its power. It just defeated the Ichiko sect and burned down the Yamashina Honganji Temple, which caused the temple to move to Ishiyama. Since then, it has been separated from the Buddhist disputes in Kyoto.

Taking advantage of the civil strife in the shogunate, the Tendai Sect asked the twenty-one main temples of the Nichiren Sect to become the last temple of the Tentai Sect and to pay the shangna, which was rejected by the Nichiren Sect.

Then the Hieisan nun corps went down the mountain and entered Beijing, destroying [-] main mountains of the Nichiren sect, massacring countless nuns and believers, and severely wounding their vitality.

The Tendai Sect could not be persuaded by Buddhism, so it used the method of physical destruction, taking advantage of the time when the shogunate had no time to look after him, directly cut off the foundation of the Nichiren Sect, and the Tendai Sect no longer had the face to call itself the Fahua Sect.

In order to avoid sectarian vendetta, the Nichiren sect could only hide in the commercial town of Minato-cho to preach.Later, when Master Xianru succeeded to the throne, the Zongzong fiercely launched revenge on the followers of the Nichiren sect.

Seeing the suffering of the believers of the Nichiren sect, Honnoji Nichigen went to Owari and reached an agreement with Oda Nobunaga.

Nichirenzong used his influence among craftsmen and merchants to assist the Oda family to develop the economic policy of Rakushi Leza, and to help the Oda family to establish their own iron cannon workshop.

And Oda Nobunaga promised that he would help the Nichiren Sect to recover the blood debt of the Tendai Sect and the Ichiko Sect.

When the Oda family succeeded in going to Luo and Beijing, Honnoji Nichigen impatiently raised the Buddhist flag of the Nichiren sect to provoke the Tendai religious group.

But she didn't expect that Oda Nobunaga would cross the river and demolish the bridge. He used the excuse that Honnoji Higen was causing trouble, and refused to avenge the Nichiren sect, and since then he has neglected Honnoji Higen.

The Oda family took advantage of the Nichiren sect believers and got so many benefits, but in the end they used Honnoji Nichigen as a chamber pot and threw it away. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world!
Mori Kasei is a veteran of the Oda family, and is deeply trusted by Oda Nobunaga.

If Mori Kasari's troops were flanked and destroyed because Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei lent troops to Asai Asakura's allied forces, and Sakamoto Castle was in danger, would Oda Nobunaga be able to maintain peace with the Tendai Sect?
The Nichiren sect helped the Oda family to establish an iron cannon workshop, and the craftsmen who followed the army, among the iron cannon ashigaru, have many Nichiren sect followers.

If these people create chaos, shake the morale of the army, and run away before Sen Kecheng is flanked, it will be difficult for Sen Kecheng to be undefeated.

As the master of the generation of Tiantai sect, Jue Shu of Enliji Temple is sensible. Of course, she would not do the stupid thing of lending troops to Asai Asakura's allied forces to form a blood feud with the Oda family.

It's a pity that the Tiantai clan has great achievements, and many things are beyond Master Jueshu's control.

The Hiei Shanni Corps is suppressed in the Hira Mountains northeast of Kyoto, eyeing Kyoto.The famous nobles in Beijing all hope to protect their own interests in the capital by infiltrating the Tiantai sect.

They often send other offspring other than their own heirs to Buddhism, and Mt. Hiei is often their first choice.

Japanese Buddhism is deeply influenced by the culture of the island country. They shout that the Buddha will save all living beings, but in fact they are divided into different classes in their hearts.Only the descendants of the famous family can inherit the traces of the Buddhist family and take on the important task of the sect.

The samurai family has a family style, Buddhism has a family history, and the island society has strict distinctions between superiors and inferiors. Even the Daoist Gaoni is not exempt from the vulgarity, it depends on the blood.

If things go on like this, the sects on Mount Hiei are mixed with dragons and snakes, and the nuns who manage the monastery have their own demands.

Asai's family is an old samurai family from Kita Omi, so they naturally have their own connections on Mount Hiei. As long as they have enough benefits, they will naturally have high-ranking nuns to help.

When the Oda family went to Luo, the Buddhist flag of the Nichiren sect was erected in the army, and the Tendai sect officials were so angry when they saw it, they walked away on the spot.

This time the Asai family came to borrow soldiers to attack the Oda family, and the Tiantai sect followed suit to give the Oda family some color, which quickly won the approval of most of the senior nuns in the nun regiment.

These pampered Buddhist nobles didn't know the horror of Oda Nobunaga at all, so they dared to hide the truth from Master Jueshu who was participating in the Buddhist meeting in Beijing, and made the stupid decision to borrow soldiers.

Honnoji Nichigen, who has been staring at Mount Hiei, finally finds a good opportunity from it, and goes along with the flow to secretly murder, to make Hiei-san and the Oda family form a blood feud on the battlefield.

Honnoji Nihongen, who was eaten dry by Oda Nobunaga and crossed the river and demolished the bridge, was looking forward to it.

After the backstab of the Tiantai sect, will Oda Nobunaga change his attitude of snubbing the Nichiren sect and become a pious believer again.

Yes, Oda Nobunaga originally chose to believe in Nichiren Sect in order to win over Nichiren Sect and win the trust of Honnoji Nichigen.

At this time, the Nichiren Sect needs this powerful believer to wake up and recover the sins committed by the Tendai Sect and the Ichiko Sect for the Nichiren Sect.

As the saying goes, the way of heaven is reincarnation, and the sky will spare no one.

The Nanman Sect and the Nichiren Sect didn't know each other, and the two sides unexpectedly joined hands to push the fragile harmonious relationship between the Oda family and the Tendai Sect of the Ichiko Sect to the abyss.
