Pillars of the Wu family

A fang official curled his lips in disdain and said, "I think Master Dingyun is a little insincere? If Captain Shenbao Youwei wants to find Nagao's family to avenge his father, don't drag us."

Another fang official smiled contemptuously: "I will pay my own revenge, and I have no obligation to help the gods protect the family to bear the crime!"

"That's right! Don't involve us in the grievances between your Jinbao family and the Nagao family!"

The gossiping officials began to criticize Dingyun of the Honjue Temple. They couldn't hold back the good-looking monk's face, and hurriedly folded their hands and recited the Buddha's name to escape their siege. Zongfang officials also have no position, because their fathers were also participants, and even the instigators of it.

As early as the third year of Yongsho (1506), Kaga has always been besieged to invade the territory. First, he fought with the Echizen Asakura family in Kuzuryukawa. The Echigoku invasion was launched against Echchu and Noto. As a result, the Etsu Chinese could not resist, and Jinbo Keimune, the father of Jimbo Chief, ran to Echigo to seek refuge.

At that time, the guardian of Etchu was Naojun Hatakeyama of the Hatakeyama family in Kawachi. He was busy fighting with Masato Hosokawa and had no time to take care of the affairs of the countryside of Etsuchu. The guardian was busy with his decree to abolish the inaccessibility of the guardians, and had no time to help the Yuezhong people resist Yiyi Kui, so the task fell to the guardian deputy Nagao Nokage.

This Nagao Nokage is none other than Nagao Nakage's father, and the grandfather of Nagao Kagetora, Ayahime, and Torahime. He is a brave general and a loyal elder, and he does his best to assist Echigo Protect Uesugi Funo, even if he wants to make a nonsense decree to abolish the privileges of the Echigo lords, he will support it.

Nagao Nokage was only 43 years old at the time.It was the age of a man in his prime.After accepting the appointment of the king, he led the army to assist Vietnam and China without saying a word.This Jimbo Qingzong served as the vanguard guide of the Nagao Army to guide the direction of the Echigo Army's attack.

Everything was going well at first. In September, I came to Etchu Tonami County, the core area dominated by disciples of the Echizen Sect. The primary goal was this Zuisenji Temple, and Nagao Nokage had already contacted Echizen through the mouthpiece of the Noto Hatakeyama family. Asakura Jiaojing (Asakura Zongdi), is going to attack from left and right to cut off the two wings of Ichikozong, and then attack Kaga in one fell swoop to make a complete liquidation.

On September [-]th, at Prajna Field, Tonami County, Etchu.The Nagao Army collided violently with the main force of the Nagao Ichikui. At this most critical moment, Jinbao Qingzong, who was responsible for protecting the Nagao Army's flank, did not know when he would pass through the Nagao Ichikui side, and suddenly left the Nagao Army's main formation, exposing the entire flank. Under Yixiangzong's firepower range.

The isolated and helpless Nagao army is facing a fierce attack from three directions. Nagao Nokage is powerless even with eight hands. There is a strong enemy in front of him biting the back, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will be counted by Jinbo Qingzong. General Echigo could only look up to the sky with a long sigh and lead the army to launch the final assault, fighting for a chance for his son-in-law, Nagao Weijing, to escape.

Seeing his father being beheaded by Yue Zhongyi Xiangyi Kui's army, his head was chopped off and carried on a bamboo spear.Changwei Weijing could only turn around and flee full of hatred. The 8000-strong Longtail army was destroyed as a whole.Asking for the death of more than [-] lives, and taking the general into it, it can be said that they have forged a death feud.

Because Jinbao Keizong's critical moment of Liqie killed Nokage Nagao and ruined the hard-planned strategy. It was from that time that Nagao Keijo began to hate the Jinbo family. Weather Jinbo Keisune was indeed under the strong support of Yikei , all the way to become the number one person in Yuezhong, all this is not over yet.

In the 16th year of Yongzheng (1519), Nagao Weijing received a request to send troops from Noto to guard Hatakeyama Yoshio, asking him to assist in the crusade against the arrogant betrayer. The thief Jinbo Keimune, the Hatakeyama family also offered a very generous price. As long as Nagao Keijo can eliminate Jinbo Keimune, the entire Etchu-Shinkawa County will be ceded to Nagao Keiko.

The moment he received the invitation, the hatred that had been suppressed for more than ten years burst out, and Nagao Weijing almost agreed on the spot. Fortunately, he still endured listening to the price offered by the Hatakeyama family, and finally made a decision to send troops. Yugong can get the land of Xinchuan County, and Yu privately can avenge the murder of his father. Why not do two things with one stone.

This war started in the 16th year of Yongzheng and lasted until the 17th year of Yongzheng. In July of that year, Nagao launched the Etsuchu invasion for the scenery. Ushered in a big defeat, had to retreat to Ershangcheng and couldn't hold on.

During this battle, Etsuchu has always remained neutral in a weird way, perhaps because he became more and more disobedient to Jinbo Keimune, and decided to teach this guy with obvious self-reliance a profound lesson, and then the Hatakeyama Army and the Nagao Army converged. Get up and launch an attack on Ershang City, Shenbao Qingzong asked Yuezhong Ichikui for help, but Yiyikui remained unmoved.

Seeing that the victory was in sight, King Hatakeyama got hot and ordered to attack everywhere, so Hatakeyama's inherited disease called "pitting teammates" relapsed, and he accidentally burned and destroyed the Takagi workshop that Etsuchu had always been on the side of. A miraculous feat hit Yiyikui's hornet's nest at a critical moment, and was beaten away by the enraged Yuezhong Yixiangyikui army. Nagao Weijing took the lead to run away when he saw that the limelight was not right.

In view of Hatakeyama Katsuo's magic skills at the critical moment of cheating his teammates, and giving up the victory in his hands, the strategic layout of Etsuchu in the second year became how to prevent the phenomenon of cheating his teammates. Hanoi and Echigo passed many letters throughout the winter In the end, Naojun Hatakeyama and Weijing Nagao reached a consensus that it would be more reliable to play by themselves.

Such an arrangement still didn't reassure Hatakeyama Naojun, so he sent another agent, Jinbao Qingming, to Etchu. Nasty Jinbo Keimune is also one of Hatakeyama Naojun's strategies.

On the other hand, Hatakeyama Shangjun was also the governor of the Hanoi Hatakeyama family at any rate, and he was not far from Yamashina Honganji Temple, so he sent an envoy to negotiate with Honganji Renjun, asking him to immediately restrain Etsuchu Ichikui, at least not to intervene during the war , otherwise we will take various measures and so on.

At that time, the Ichiko sect hadn't had trouble with each other, but Honganji already hated the lawless monks in Kaga to the extreme. Etsuchu Ichikui's background was several abbots of the Kaga Ichiko sect.They are Lian Gang, the abbot of Songgang Temple, Lian Shi, the abbot of Guangjiao Temple, and Lian Wu, the abbot of Hongquan Temple.All three of them are the children of the Eighth Dharma Lord Lianru.

Kaga Izumozong, whom they represent, has long refused to listen to Honganji's orders.Honganji hates you to death, so the lord of Honganji said on the spot that these guys have caused trouble for you, and promised not to let them continue to make trouble.

With the guarantee of the back road, in May of the 17th year of Yongzheng (1520), the Nagao army went out again. This time, Nagao was familiar with the scenery and captured Jingchuan Castle, and suppressed the entire Xinchuan County. Jinbo Qingzong immediately led the army Resist the attack of the long tail army.The two sides fought fiercely near the Sakai River. In December, the Hatakeyama Army captured Nigami Castle, and Jinbo Keimune fled in a hurry when he realized that his back was cut off.

Jinbao chief is the family governor who inherited after his father's death. He has a similar idea to Nagao Weijing back then. He is also full of hatred for Nagao's family. It doesn't matter if Nagao Weijing dies. If he can escape, the monk can't escape the temple. , there is a Nagao family who can take revenge and resolve years of resentment.

Therefore, when Dingyun of Hongjue Temple put forward his plan, he was immediately ridiculed by the officials of the square. They didn't care how Shenbao Qingzong helped Yuezhong to survive the difficulties.Chen Zhima's rotten millet's merits and Shenbao's family were also unable to show their hands, and this ridicule chilled the scene.

Ruiquan Temple's tallow Xiuxiu's long snow-white eyebrows were raised.The tone was gentle and said: "Master Dingyun's words are reasonable. We, the officials of the Zongfang Zongfang, always keep in mind the ambition of the Dharma Lord. Our goal is to establish a country of the people. To eliminate the oppression of the tyranny of Echigo to the followers of the Zongzong, at least I also request that Echigo restore Ichigo Zongbu's right to religion."

"The poor monk doesn't care about that, it's just that the seven thousand believers can't die in vain, and can't avenge those dead believers, so we must fight back!" Yun Cheng of Shengxing Temple stared at the unwilling official, very Suppress their objections quickly.

The two abbots of Honkakuji Dingyun Chong made eleven ceremonies together, and talked eloquently: "According to the Takeda family, the burning of Mt. Hiei was probably murdered by the Kira family. There is a sworn oath by Honfukuji Temple and Hidemasa Kawakunibe as circumstantial evidence for this." , the two of them have detailed the weird situation that night, and they suspect that someone is hiding behind the scenes and secretly instigating..."

Immediately, a square official questioned: "Master Dingyun believes in the series of nonsense of the Takeda family?"

"I don't believe it, but it's okay!" Honkakuji Dingyun said with a smile, "Both the Kira family and the Nagao family are full of malice towards my Ichiko clan. This reason is enough. Who cares about the truth? ?”

"Good strategy! No matter what the Takeda family's calculations are, as long as we have a reason to send troops!" Shengxing Temple Yuncheng laughed and said: "So, to create related rumors, please entrust Master Dingyun."

"The poor monk must do his best!" Benjue Temple Dingyun agreed with a smile, and then glanced at the officials and officials with a bit of complacency and sarcasm in his eyes.

Then the conversation in the secret room became more and more lively, and the young monks who were serving tremblingly filled their soup bowls with chicken soup, and suddenly sang outside: "All the great monks of Chaosheng Temple are here!"

"What?" The monks and officials in the secret room couldn't sit still. This is the general of the Kaga Ichikui Army. Somehow, he received the news and suddenly arrived. Jumping up, his skinny body exploded with great strength, and he came out of the secret room with a whoosh to greet him respectfully.

More than [-] people came out in a file, and when they saw a tall and thin monk wearing a golden cassock appearing in front of them, they did not dare to raise their heads to look carefully, so they hurriedly put their palms together and saluted: "I pay my respects to the Great Monk Capital!"

This person is the leader of the Kaga Ichiko Sect, Chaoshoji Misho, and he is the highest ranking monk of the Fayan monk. After the big and small ones, he is the number one in the entire Hokuriku Ichiko Sect, even the head of the Honganji Temple Shimoma Zhuo is nothing more than the capital of a great monk, which shows how powerful this person's influence is.

At first glance, it is impossible to tell how old he is, with fair skin and slender fingers like a nobleman. In fact, he has a strange appearance, thin lips, slender fox eyes and hooked nose, squinting. There was a cold air in his closed eyes, and when he opened his eyes, there was a strong murderous aura in the corners of his eyes, which was frightening, and he was not easy to mess with.

The two tall and strong men behind him have exactly the same appearance, and they are actually rare twins. The two are no less than 1.7 meters five, and their bodies are as strong as a bear. There is even a slight advantage.

Chaosheng Temple repaid the salute vainly.Under the protection of a group of monks, he strode into the secret room.As soon as you enter the room, you can smell the rich aroma of chicken soup.Chaoshengji Mizhao's expression drooped immediately, his eyes moved to the right and glanced at the faces of Ruiquansi Tanxiu and Shengxingji Yuncheng, and said with a half-smile, "I'm having a good day!"

"..." The cold sweat of the two of them was stimulated all over their bodies.

Although Japanese Buddhism can't help marrying wives and having children, the precepts of being a vegetarian are still well observed. It doesn't matter if you violate the precepts and eat meat in private. Shengxingji Yuncheng and the pair of twins are so tall and strong. Impossible, but it's different to be caught blatantly, and at least be reprimanded.Seriously, reporting to Honganji Temple is enough to make them both break and leave.

Chaosheng Temple Mishao snorted coldly and made the monks and officials tremble with fright, then walked slowly to the inner room and sat down. After scanning the many monks who dared not sit down, he said after a long time: "You guys I have fully understood the plan, and I support the crusade against Echigo, and I have also heard the rumors of Kai Takeda. No matter what, I must seek justice for the dead believers, otherwise, what face do we have? Go to see the Dharma Master! Do you still remember Master Lian Chun's ambition?"

"You mean, the ambition to bring the entire Hokuriku into the territory of the Buddhist kingdom on the ground?" The officials of the square lifted their spirits and recalled the glorious years 30 years ago.A longing look appeared on his face.

At that time, Venerable Renju was referred to as an "enemy of Buddha" by Enryaku-ji Temple in Mount Hiei, and he could not stay in Kinai and had to go to Hokuriku to seek refuge.And thus developed a branch of the Kaga Ichigo Sect, which handed over the military and political power of Kaga to the three Kaga temples before the death of the businessman Lianyu, that is, the abbot of Matsuoka Temple, Ren Gang, the abbot of Kogyo Temple, and the abbot of Hongquan Temple. The three sons of Lian Wu, these three were defeated and scored in the big and small ones, and the winner of the big one was Chaosheng Temple, who was also the father of Chaosheng Temple.

"The three Kaga temples disobeyed the Lord's decree and were destroyed by my father. The concept of a country controlled by the people is extremely correct. We are determined to unify Hokuriku and build this place into a Buddhist country on the ground, so Echigo must go out, not only Echigo wants to mop up the people of Etsuchu who are against our Ichiko sect in one fell swoop, and I personally lead the Kaga Ichikui army to support you!" Chaoshoji's sonorous and forceful statement made the expressions of the monks in the room change.

Shengxing Temple Yuncheng couldn't help but said: "Why bother the Great Monk Du in the Ichikui War against Echigo, I can do it for the Etsuchu Yikui Army. The Great Monk Du is the general of the Hokuriku Ichikui, and there are many opportunities in the Hokuriku Road. Now there is Echizen in the Hokuriku Road The strong enemies of the Asakura family and the Noto family really shouldn't be moved lightly!"

"Huh? Is Yanxiu questioning my decision?" Chaosheng Temple Yanzhao snorted coldly, and said with a sullen face: "I have heard that there is a problem in the Yuezhong Yikui Army, and I have never believed it. It seems that There is really a problem!"

"No, no! That's not what I meant." Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu hurriedly gave a wink to the panic-stricken Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, and explained kindly: "I welcome the decision of the great monk, but I don't know Kaga Kazuki How much does the army need to support? If there is a large army to support, there will definitely be changes in the Echizen Asakura family. If there are fewer troops, the effect will be very small, so..."

"What you are talking about is a problem. I have considered it and made two-handed preparations. I ordered Guangde Temple Chengxian to lead an army of 7 Kui from Hanoi County to help out, and merged with a part of the Vietnam Central One Kui Army. There are about [-] It looks like ten thousand people! So many people have been handed over to the two young monks to command." Chaosheng Temple seemed to have expected it, and didn't mind being speechless when they asked.

The officials of Yuezhong lowered their heads with a look of reluctance: "Then, we can rest assured after waiting!"

"That's it! I still have to take a step ahead." Chaosheng Si Mizhao nodded and left with dozens of accompanying monks.

"Damn it! This is a naked seizure of power! With one sentence, the [-] Kui troops from Guangde Temple were sent to Yuezhong, and they couldn't be pushed away. Does this mean that Kaga eats meat and we drink soup? "A square official said worriedly: "What should we do now?"

"What should I do? What else can I do?" Zhunxuan of Ruiquan Temple slammed his fist on the pillar, cursing angrily, "Isn't it because I don't like waiting? The general from Osaka doesn't like us The little one's remnants of evil, I'll bah!"

"Our Yuezhong Yikui army really doesn't like Zong Benshan very much. We are located in a remote place and belong to Xiao Yikui's side, but we have already been punished back then! Why do we still have to do this?"

"Who knows, I probably think it would be better for the general sent by Osaka to lead Etsuchu Ichikui! The previous abbot of Kotokuji Temple, didn't Kotokuji Chengshun join the master's sect more than ten years ago? Now His son Guangde Temple Chengxian led the army, what a great way!"

"Didn't the Echizen Ichikui Army be defeated by Asakura Sodi just before his death? He recovered so quickly?"

"I don't know, who knows what's going on."

The officials whispered, and the monks were also very ugly. In the 24th year of Tianwen, Echizen Izumozong was defeated by Asakura Zongdi in the battle of Yingwei Mountain, and the [-] Kui army was defeated There were countless casualties in throwing away their helmets and armor, and it was only two years since Kaga Ichikomune had to make another move, probably because he felt that the Echizen Kingdom had lost the pillar of the country, and he did not dare to take action against the Echizen Ichikui Army for the time being.

"No matter what, this time will definitely change the situation in Yuezhong..." Honjueji Dingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at the burning firepit, and said meaningfully: "Wait!" (To be continued...)
