different warring states of japan

Chapter 450 Negotiation
Seeing that Oda Nobunaga is so happy, Higen has doubts.

The samurai family is cunning, there are few good people, and daimyo is one of the best.

What is this Oda Nobunaga plotting?
Ri Xuan came here to ask for help, so it is natural not to casually show a skeptical attitude, so as not to cause misunderstandings, so he can only say it tactfully.

"The east and west ends of the Owari country, the Mikawa and Ise countries, are all places where the sect has always been arrogant.

Especially after Master Xianru of Hongan Temple succeeded to the throne, he issued a decree to order Sanhe to mobilize all the time, which was extremely cruel.

Your Highness, I am grateful to Nichiren sect believers.

But if you want to enter my way, I am afraid that there will be no room for the Yixiangzong, and the Yixiangzong believers in the two countries will do bad things to Owari. "

Oda Nobunaga was a little impatient with Higen, this nun is just timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

She was just about to get angry when she heard something and became interested.

"What did you just say? Sanhe is about to explode?"

Ri Xuan was taken aback for a moment, the point of what she said just now was not this.

But she saw Oda Nobunaga's eyes locked on her, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and nodded.

"Return to Your Highness, there is indeed such a thing."

Oda Nobunaga smiled meaningfully.

Songping Yuankang is preparing for the war in Xisanhe. After the spring plowing, he will send troops to Dongsanhe to fight for the unification of Sanhe country.

Although when Kiyosu formed an alliance, Oda Nobunaga swore to her dear sister Takechiyo.

From then on, sister, I go west, sister, you go east, and you and my sister share the world equally.

But in her heart, she was still afraid of Matsudaira Motoyasu.

The warrior Sanhe Ji's bravery spread far and wide, and if Matsudaira Motoyasu really unified the Sanhe country, he would also become the lord of the country.

Then, Oda Nobunaga, who originally had an advantage in politics, will no longer be a head taller, which is something she cannot tolerate.

Although the covenant between the two parties is an equal relationship, it is only an expedient measure.

If she wants to suppress Matsudaira Yuanyasu's position in the alliance step by step, she must have an absolute advantage in strength.

Before the Oda family has mastered the two countries of Owari Mino, it is best not to increase the power of Matsudaira Motoyasu.

For Oda Nobunaga, Mikawa Ichikui was a surprise.

She doesn't need to think about making small moves behind her, she just needs to silently watch Matsudaira Motoyasu being caught off guard by Yi Xiangzong when he is fighting.

It is even possible to make some preparations in advance. When Matsudaira Motoyasu asks for help, in the name of rescue, further conditions are put forward to suppress her position in the covenant and make the Matsudaira family more dependent on the Oda family.

Higen saw that Oda Nobunaga was smiling, he was deep in thought, and said tentatively.

"Your Highness Oda, but what did I say wrong?"

Oda Nobunaga was in a good mood, seeing this nun who brought her a lot of benefits and good news was even more pleasing to the eye.

It was rare for her to have a good voice and explain.

"Master Rixuan, don't worry, you didn't say anything wrong.

Please also believe in my sincerity. My belief in the Nichiren sect is indeed sincere.

Owari is rich and prosperous, but it also needs business contacts and craftsmen to make the country rich and strong.

In today's troubled times, since the Miyoshi family invaded the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom, the situation where the two sects of the Wu family didn't want to do anything was broken, and all factions were looking for backers.

The Tiantai sect seeks the shogunate, the old Shingon sect relies on Kenshin of the Shiba family, and the new sect has roots to support it.

Master Nichiren, why are you Nichiren Sect just sitting around waiting to die?

Back then, the Tiantai Sect disregarded that the two sects were both of the same origin as the Lotus Sutra, so they cut off the foundation of your capital and drove your Nichiren Sect into the abyss.

Now, the Ichiko sect is oppressing others again, frantically persecuting the believers of the Nichiren sect, in an attempt to eradicate the roots.

You Nichiren sect, can't you just run around like wild dogs, don't you hate it? "

Master Rixuan recited the Lotus Sutra of Nanwumiaofa, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes to listen.

Oda Nobunaga looked at her with a smile, and when she opened her eyes again, it was full of vajra anger.

"His Highness really wants to join the Nichiren sect?"

"See if you can meet my conditions."

"I, Honnoji Nichigen, swear to the Nichiren Mandala deity that His Highness' wishes will come true.

If you do not believe what you say, you are willing to go to the eighteenth level of hell, and you will not be able to be reborn forever. "

Oda Nobunaga raised his mouth and said.

"From today onwards, I, Oda Nobunaga, believe in the Nichiren sect and wish to be a devout believer."

Ri Xuan let out a breath and said.

"Your Highness enters the Tao, I will give His Highness a dharma name."

"No need."

Ri Xuan looked at her in surprise, not understanding what she meant.

Oda Nobunaga lazily raised his head and answered.

"I will provide shelter for you and other Nichiren sect believers, and I will also avenge you.

I, Oda Nobunaga, do not need a dharma name, I will use actions to let the gods and Buddhas know.

I walk the talk and do what I say. "

Ri Xuan listened to her outrageous words with a complicated expression, not knowing whether his choice was right or wrong.

In the end, she who decided to block everything, bowed down and saluted.

"May Your Royal Highness have prosperous martial arts."

Only when the martial arts are prosperous can he be sheltered and revenged.

Oda Nobunaga looked at the obedient Honnoji Higen, and couldn't help laughing.

The Nichiren sect endured it for decades, but in the end, the hatred was hard to get rid of, and they fell into my trap.

Warriors who aim at the world need to seek supporters in religion.

The Wu family is too violent, and the war needs to squeeze more resources. As the troubled times deepen, the suffering of the people at the bottom has just begun.

Religion seeks help from samurai to protect the sect, and samurai needs religion to appease the grassroots, and each is looking for a suitable partner.

And Oda Nobunaga, who is bent on wooing business and industry, meets Nichirenzong who is cornered, and the two hit it off.

Since then, Oda Nobunaga has had a foothold in religion.

It has also received the support of a large number of Nichiren Sect merchants and artisan believers, and has taken another step towards the ambition of the people of the world.

Etsuchu, the castle tower of Toyama Castle.

Under the leadership of Yoshihiro Shiba, the royal family, the family governors of the Kamibo and Kamibo finally decided to work together.

The cavalry of the mission rested overnight and replenished their military supplies with the help of the Jinbo family. Shiba Yoshigin and Uesugi Terotora were invited into the castle tower to discuss follow-up matters.

Shiba Yoshihiro was left with the main seat, Jinbao Chief and Uesugi Terotora sat on the left and right, and Kojima Kojima accompanied him.

Xiao Dao Zhizhen's smile never calmed down, his cheeks were sour, but he just couldn't help it.

She contributed a lot to the success of the Shangshan Jinbao Alliance, and her political opponent, Terajima Chosaka, was hacked by the subordinates of the Royal Daisho, and Jinbao Changzhi pretended not to see it.

The old leader faction headed by Xiaodao Zhizhen can take this opportunity to overwhelm the new leader faction that has lost its leader, at least until the new leader of the new leader faction appears.

And her active approach made Yiyin willing to give her a hand in order to boost the power of the pro-Shangshan faction in the Shenbao family and ensure the stability of the alliance between the two parties.

Therefore, she is eligible to participate in this tripartite high-level review.After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we got to the point.

Asked the Chief of the Shinbo.

"How will the Imperial Palace and His Highness Uesugi plan to go to Echigo?"

Uesugi Teruhu glanced at Yoshihiro, saw him kowtow slightly, and said without hiding it.

"Because of Shiina Yasushi's delay, the spring plowing season has almost passed, and there must be twists and turns in Echigo.

She made a lot of noise, but there was no reaction at all. It seems that the situation is not good.

The road around the sea is protracted and cannot be delayed. It is best to kill Xinchuan County and return home as soon as possible. "

Shen Baochang frowned slightly and said.

"The spring plowing of the Jinbao family is about to end, so I can mobilize the army to cross the Shiraiwa River and press towards Matsukura Castle in Kadokawa.

But with the three cities of Yujin watching, I can no longer move forward, and I need the two Highnesses to break through on my own. "

Yiyin nodded.

"As long as His Royal Highness Jinbao can attract Shiina's attention, we have more than two hundred elite Ji Samurai, and we can bring enough for three days, enough to break through the empty Xinchuan County defense line."

Uesugi Terutora agreed.

"The next dangerous pass is only known to the relatives of the Echigo border, the coast at the end of the cliff where the Hida Mountains enter the sea, and it stretches for thirty miles.

Shiina Yasushi is not strong enough to control it. After crossing this coast, it is my Echigo territory.

Your Highness Shenbao, how many more days will it take to mobilize the family?The situation in Echigo is unknown, so it is better for us to leave as soon as possible. "

The Chief of the Jinbo replied.

"It will take three to five days to complete the mobilization of the reserve forces in various places. I can take the lead in the standing army and cross the Baiyan River, and I can attack tomorrow.

However, it is necessary to trouble the imperial court to issue an edict clarifying that Shiina Yasunon attacked Hanoi Minamoto's descendant and deprived the guardian generation.

Along the way, Shiina's retainers must have panicked, and even assisted me in marching to besiege the Kadokawa castles. "

Terutora Uesugi and Yoshihiro Shiba looked at each other, the job of Jinbao Chief is really powerful.

Even with the prestige of the edict, Shiina's retainers would not have turned against him so quickly. It must be that the head of the Shinbo had already started poaching the corners of the Shiina family.

Now that she has a righteous name, those Shiina retainers who were instigated to rebel can finally vote for her without any scruples, which is really easy to calculate.

Uesugi Terutora said.

"That's very good, as long as His Highness Jinbao traps most of the Shiina family's army, my cavalry can rush back to Echigo as soon as possible.

Only a few days after the spring plowing, the domestic situation should not be too bad. "

The head of the Shenbao shook his head.

"Not necessarily. Your Highnesses know Harunobu, Governor of the Takeda family."

Yi Yin narrowed his eyes, why did Shenbao Chief mention her at this time?I feel bad in my heart.

Uesugi Terutora also frowned, muttering.

"Guardian of Kai Kingdom, Takeda Harunobu, what did she do?"
