different warring states of japan

Chapter 779 Create chips
Takada Yono didn't care about Imai Sohisa's worries, what she was thinking about now was the two letters on the copy.

A letter was sent by the lord Shibo Yoshin, explaining that Echigo will send troops to Echaka-Noto after the spring plowing.

This troop dispatch will restore and stabilize the Hokuriku Road trade route, but it is likely to have a fierce conflict with Kaga Etsuchu's Ichigomune forces.

Yiyin hinted in the letter that the Yixiangzong Temple in Xinchuan County may be affected by the war, and there will be no tiles left.This is almost expressing that it is the army of the Wu family who is doing it.

He hoped that Mitsuhide Akechi would find a way to appease Ishiyama Honganji from a diplomatic point of view and Yono Takada from a commercial point of view.

Avoid launching a new round of Ichikui revenge in Hokuriku, as the Master did, and adopt aggressive strategies to confront the samurai forces.

After reading the letter, Gao Tianyou knew that this was an impossible task.

Although the Ichigo sect has been fairly peaceful in recent days, in the peripheral countries, especially Hokuriku, it has been aggressively promoting the strategy of the Buddhist kingdom on the ground.

Even if the previous generation Zhengru was in power, Yixiang Zong could digest the territory that Yiyikui had acquired before with peace of mind, which was quite peaceful.But there is also zero tolerance for the behavior of the Wu family to destroy temples and nuns.

The core strategy of Yixiangzong reformed by Master Lianru of the eighth generation is to strengthen the organizational power of Yixiangzong and gather loose believers into strength. The method used is to establish the system of fangguan.

The Fangguan system divided Yixiangzong into Fazhu, Fangzhu, Jiao, County, and Group, and formed the entire sect into a pyramid structure, which strengthened the organizational strength, and the most important grassroots organization was Jiao.

Every Yixiangzong temple has at least one lecture, and a large temple may have four or five lectures. The number of believers in each lecture can range from dozens to hundreds.

It can be said that speaking is the core of the basic level of the sect, and the temple is the base for spreading the belief of this grassroots organization.

If the monastery is destroyed, the teaching at the grassroots level will be destroyed, and the local Yizong believers will become a mass of loose sand.

Master Xianru of Ishiyama Honganji would never tolerate this kind of behavior, which would shake the foundation of the Fangguan system and disintegrate the grassroots organization of Yixiangzong.

The fear of this kind of organization being disintegrated will make Master Xianru refuse any form of benefit exchange, and no amount of benefits can be exchanged for her understanding.

Takada Yono turned his attention to another letter, this one from Akechi Mitsuhide.

The master gave orders to both of them at the same time. Akechi Mitsuhide first read the letter to himself in Kyoto, and then sent it together with his own countermeasures and the letter from the master to Takada Yono.

Akechi Mitsuhide mentioned a person in his letter, hoping that Takada Yono could help her go to Beijing to meet General Ashikaga.This person is the priest of the Nanban religion, Louis Floys.

Takada Yono asked Imai Zonghisa.

"Hime Imai, do you know a Southern barbarian priest named Floys?"

Imai Zongjiu was stunned for a moment.

She talked about the current predicament of the Hokuriku Road trade route for a long time, but this Lord Takada Yono was not listening at all!But she didn't dare to lose her temper, so she could only sigh in her heart and had to answer questions.

Imai Zongjiu thought about it carefully and said.

"Louis, Floys? The most active missionary of the Southern Barbarians.

It is said that she went to Kanto last year to inspect the situation of the local missionary work. I don't know if she has returned. "

Takada Yono nodded.

The mission of Nanbanism in the Japanese archipelago is mainly divided into three dioceses, Kyushu, Kyoto, and Kanto.

For missionary work, Kyushu local daimyos are the most tolerant.They not only obtained a large amount of commercial benefits from the Nanban by letting go of the right to preach, but also used this to show their political independence.

In the Diocese of Kyoto, Nanbanism mainly relied on the two commercial centers of Kyoto and Sakai Port for activities.Along the Yodo River between the two places, believers who converted to the Nanman religion gradually appeared.

The Yodo River Basin is mainly in the Settsu Kingdom, and in the Settsu Kingdom there even appeared powerful warriors who believed in the Nanban religion.

The Kanto Diocese has always been the weakest diocese of the Nanban Sect.Kanto Kamakura is the main transmission place of Buddhism in the Song Dynasty and the site of the Pure Land Sect.

The characteristic of Buddhism in the Song Dynasty is that its teachings are simple and easy to understand, and it is easy to preach.The customs of Kanto are far more conservative than that of Kansai, where commerce and trade are developed, and the spread of Nanban religion has always been difficult.

Sohisa Imai said.

"Why did your lord suddenly mention her?"

Takada Yono asked instead of answering.

"Does the Nanban Sect have any plans to go to Beijing to meet General Ashikaga?"

Imai Zong thought for a long time, her family has been in Sakai Port for many years, and the news of the big businessman has always been well-informed, and said.

"I remember that a few years ago when the Nanban Sect came to Sakai Port, there was a big man among the missionaries who wanted to go to Beijing to meet the general and seek to open up the right to preach.

That person seemed to be called Xavier, but the request to go to Beijing was rejected by the shogunate.

The shogunate seemed not too interested in these foreign pagan nuns. It is said that the Tiantai sect came forward to persuade them to stop the matter. "

Takada Yono was thoughtful.

Akechi Mitsuhide was in Kyoto, so he must know more details than Imai Sohisa, who was originally a businessman.She would ask Takada Yono to help the priests of the Nanman religion enter Beijing, which must have something to do with the order of the lord.

The Nanban religion already has three dioceses in the Japanese archipelago, but only under the protection of some daimyos in the Kyushu diocese can it spread smoothly.

The Nanman religion definitely hoped to be recognized by the Kyoto shogunate and get the right to preach, so that they could further spread their beliefs.

But for Buddhist sects, this is absolutely not allowed.

The influence of Buddhism in Kyushu is not enough to make the local daimyo change their ways and expel the Nanman religion.Therefore, the front line of Sakai Port and Kyoto has become the forefront of the confrontation between the two religions.

Yixiangzong was rejected by various sects, destroyed the mountain several times, and finally moved to Settsu, Izumi, and the Shishan area near the junction of the three kingdoms in Hanoi.

Next to Ishiyama Honganji Temple is Sakai Port.Using the fanatical Yixiang sect to block the extremely aggressive Nanman religion, the Buddhist sects must have worked hard behind them.

In recent years, the conflict between the two sides in Setjin has become more and more intense, and Ishiyama Honganji Temple is very vigilant against the expansion of the Nanban religion.

Takada Yono chuckled, she finally figured out what Akechi Mitsuhide was going to do.

The Yixiang Temple of Yuezhong was destroyed, and Master Xianru of Shishan Honganji Temple would not accept any exchange terms, and would definitely choose revenge.

Shiba Yoshigin asked Akechi Mitsuhide and Takada Yono to think of a way, using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and the lord probably felt unsure.

The two of them didn't have any bargaining chips in their hands to impress the Venerable Master Xianru, and they couldn't exchange for her understanding.Mitsuhide Akechi, a black-bellied woman, wants to create something out of nothing and create a bargaining chip by herself.

Takada Yono kept sneering, this bastard is really vicious, and he is going to make himself a scapegoat.

If Yono Takada didn't realize the problem, he would go to Beijing for that Nanban priest named Floys.

Regardless of whether she can obtain the missionary right that is extremely important to the Nanman religion from General Ashikaga, Master Xianru of Ishiyama Honganji will hate Takada Yono who helped her go to Beijing.

Even though Takada Yoshino is protected by Yoshihiko Shiba, and the Hokuriku Road trade route binds the interests of both parties.But if there is a chance in the future, the Master will definitely kill Takada Yono.

As for Mitsuhide Akechi in Kyoto, she will absolutely express her support to Venerable Xianru through her channel, and do her best to prevent the Nanman Cult from gaining the right to preach.

She will use this as a condition in exchange for Master Xianru's understanding of the destruction of the Yuezhong Yixiangzong Temple.

Obviously, the Venerable Master will not forgive the act of exterminating monasteries and nuns, because this kind of behavior has shaken the foundation of Yixiangzong.

However, if it is a religious struggle related to Nanbanism, for the missionary right that is a matter of life and death, Ishiyama Honganji Temple is likely to let go and pretend to be confused about the destruction of temples in Vietnam.

Akechi Mitsuhide placed a heavy enough stake on this end of the scale, so that the seesaw in the Venerable Master's mind could rise from the other end.
