A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Just do it. Since the boss wants to invite Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi by name, what else can we do?

Even if the elder brother talks, the younger brother will break his legs. A group of seven or eight Hatamoto samurai who were temporarily off duty were sent out to clear out the people.

This is not to be solemn, but simply because I don’t know where Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi is wandering. Then we can only go around Yamajo Country, Yamato Country, Settsu Country, and Omi Country to find it.

In the end, the relationship between Ichidō Kanefuji and Konoe Maekyu was used, and even Eizan was searched, not to mention Eishoji, Enakuji, Daanji and others. Only then did we find Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi and his disciples at Minami Omi Kokubunji Temple. 【Note 1】

According to the fine tradition of samurai, in their eyes, the word "please" roughly means something similar to "bundle". Just invite Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi to come. Why do you care about the method of invitation? I have a knife in my hand, why should I reason with you?

That is to say, Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi's reputation is too great this time, and he really can't force it. Dr. Nagata Tokumoto was "invited" by these people last time, in the middle of the night.

To put it bluntly, Yamauchi Yoshiji did have a relationship with the old monk when he was young, and he did know him. Yamauchi Yoshiharu himself is also a man of magnanimity and courage. I was chatting and laughing with Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi back then, and the two of them got along quite well.

Now Yamauchi Yoshiharu personally sent someone to invite him. He was not asking Monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi to be sold to the Yamauchi family. He came to enlighten and educate Yamauchi Taro. It was not a big problem.

Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi naturally couldn't refuse, so he just went to the mountains to practice for a few years! The Yamauchi family will definitely not treat him badly, and it is not impossible to even help him build a temple.

When Kuai Chuan Shaoxi arrived in the mountain, the scene was not inferior to the grand occasion when the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru came to the mountain with his flag. Many people at that time were truly devout believers in gods and Buddhas, and they regarded the arrival of such a national master as if they were gods.

From the city walls to the city walls, clean water washes the streets and fragrant flowers pave the streets. It is just so that Monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi will not step on the worldly world and be free from dirt. And all this was done spontaneously by faithful men and women, with no one organizing it at all.

Since Monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi came to Xisongli Temple, countless faithful men and women have sent countless offerings day and night to support this eminent monk.

The rich simply offer boxes of gold and silk in their cars, and the poor also offer rice cakes and rice. In just three days of rest, the value of the offerings amounted to thousands of guanwen. Even so, there is an endless stream of worshippers day and night.

Koheita was shocked when he saw it. No wonder Zenkoji Temple built a large temple to store the offerings of believers. The money was so much that it could reach the roof. No wonder Ishiyama Honganji Temple has huge wealth and can resist the mighty military force of the people of the world for ten years.

In this world, being a monk is really profitable. As long as you can make a name for yourself, you will be worshiped by people everywhere, and you will have no worries about food and clothing.

Thinking about his deceptive and deceptive mouth, Xiao Pingtai suddenly felt that becoming a monk was an absolutely bright way out.

…

Leaving aside the matter of monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi, the Hatamoto samurai who went to Omi to pick up someone also reported something important.

They crossed Mino, Owari, Mikawa, Toe from Omi, and finally arrived at Yamauchi. When they passed Mino, they experienced some bad things.

Didn't Takenaka Shigeharu and his father-in-law Mamoru Ando launch a rebellion before, expel Saito Ryuuki, occupy Inabayama Castle, and issue orders as the new lord of Mino.

But it is a pity that Saito Ryuuki, who harvested rice and saved military rations, finally ruled Mino for three generations, which was deeply rooted and popular. Soon he got the cooperation of the Fuwa clan, the Endo clan, the Higashi clan and other Hokino generals, and continued to threaten Inabayama Castle.

On the other hand, Ando Mamoru and Takenaka Shigeharu found it increasingly difficult to rule the Inabayama area. Not only were the decrees difficult to pass, but most of the local wealthy families also wanted Saito Ryuuki.

Under the constant pressure of Saito Fang, Ando Mamoru and Takenaka Shigeharu really did not have enough skills to occupy the throne of Inabayama. In the end, he abandoned the city and left in despair, handing over Inaba Mountain to Saito Ryuuki.

It was obvious that Saito Ryuuki was not merciful towards the twenty-five young men who launched a brazen rebellion. As soon as he entered Inaba Mountain, he was ready to launch a large army to attack the Shinon people.

The people of Xinong are now the target of public criticism in Mino, and they cannot live in peace for a moment. They simply became heartbroken and voted for Oda Nobunaga.

It means that Oda Nobunaga picked up Simeon for nothing, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was responsible for the strategy of Simino, was extremely surprised.

Good guy! Nothing has been done, Meinong is fighting among itself, so forget about the fighting, if it can bring out a powerful daimyo, then forget about it. The result turned out to be novices pecking each other. In the end, both sides were hurt, and each lost half his life.

Oda Nobunaga, who was still licking his wounds in Komakiyama Castle after getting a bargain in vain, was originally looking gloomy at home, but in the end, a big pie fell from the sky.

Nowadays, Inabayama Castle is surrounded on three sides by the forces of the Oda side. The once strong castle troops have been reduced to less than one-fifth of what they used to be. The solid defense has also had many flaws due to wars and repeated battles.

The defection of the Shinon clan also caused the Saito clan to lose the way to seek help from the Rokkaku clan and the Asai clan in Omi. As far as reality is concerned, the death knell of the Saito family is completely ringing, and the sound is getting louder and louder, and it may end at any time.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Xiaoping lamented that of the many famous figures in the Warring States Period, too few were forcibly destroyed by force. The vast majority of daimyo were actually defeated by internal strife, with fathers and sons fighting, brothers fighting, and monarchs and ministers antagonizing each other.

No matter which one, it means destruction in the warring States era.

The Mino Saito clan, which was once so powerful, now only has an isolated city, Inabayama, which may be destroyed at any time by Oda Nobunaga's stormy attack.

To think that Mino Country, which he had worked so hard to win, would be handed over to others like this. Perhaps Saito Dōsan would not have expected that things would evolve to this point.

And the young leader of the Yamauchi family is in charge of the country, alas...

[Note 1]: It is rumored on the Internet that the Japanese have such a commonality, that is, after the boss gives you an accurate goal, even if you have to climb a mountain of swords, a sea of ​​​​fire, or climb Everest with your bare hands, the Japanese may get into trouble for you. You made it.

But if it's just a simple rough direction, leave it to the Japanese. Then they may not be able to achieve any results in their lives and keep spinning in circles.

I feel like this is not a common feature of Japanese people, it feels like a common feature of human beings. Isn’t that what Socrates’ wheat field experiment was like? Asking students to pick the biggest ears of wheat will lead to nothing. If they were asked to pick more than one hundred grams of wheat, they might get a lot.

Casual talk.

After the site for storing manuscripts was updated, a program error occurred, and all 8,000-word manuscripts were lost, so I am very sorry.
