A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The extremely annoyed Xiao Pingtai spent another whole day to level the road and stabilize the place.

Someone asked, where are your cavalry? An army of five thousand without any cavalry? When asked about the point, there are some cavalry, although not many, and there are also hundreds of cavalry.

They are all powerful (money) loyal men, but no one who can lead a horse on the battlefield is truly poor.

But Xiaoping was too reluctant to give up. It was not that he was afraid that the cavalry would be ambushed and die in battle when they drove out. He had to have the consciousness of dying in battle when he went to the battlefield. Mainly horses, horses are too precious.

Ordinary war horses carry a person walking slowly, for several hours a day, and it is basically impossible to have an accident. As long as there are enough materials, it is not a big problem. But on the battlefield, in the wilderness, there is no such nonsense as swords and guns.

In these dry fields, a hole three to five centimeters in size might suddenly appear, but usually no one would care. But if the war horse starts running, if you are not careful, the horse's hoof will be broken for you.

There are very few horses suitable for war horses in Japan, and the price is more than ten times higher than that of a pack horse. If ten or eight horses were included in this, the battle would be a loss.

But these flies were so annoying, buzzing around Xiao Pingtai endlessly.

"Uncle, what can be done?" Xiaopingta felt that Uncle Tsunliang, as an old Yinbi, might have some clever plan? If there is no clever plan, a poisonous plan will do.

"Theoretically speaking, it is too easy to defeat such a large number of people. It's just that there are many people and they are spread all over the place."

In fact, Uncle Tsunliang really wanted to say that he would wash it all the way. In the words of a certain barber, he would "fight the enemy head-on!" "Kill them all!" and give full play to the characteristics of the locust army.

The trouble lies in the fact that these Yixiang Sect believers are everywhere, and they can start up innumerable whenever they are stirred up. There is quite a bit of suicidal intention in them. Everyone has a superstitious belief that they will go to heaven after death and are willing to fight even if they abandon their families and careers.

During the Kaga Ichiku, people from all over the Hokuriku countries directly supported the establishment of the Kaga Buddhist Kingdom with whole villages and whole villages. They asked for nothing and the whole family joined the battle.

For such people, the easiest way is to destroy them physically. After the destruction of humanity, no matter how crazy you believe, it will be useless. Just go to the Pure Land of Western Paradise to see the Tathagata Buddha.

But Xiao Pingtai is not such a violent person. It is really impossible for Xiao Pingtai to destroy tens of thousands of people all the way.

Secondly, they are all over the mountains and plains, and it is impossible to catch them. It is impossible to destroy them humanely. You can't disperse the five thousand troops, right? After breaking up, we can understand the wish that has always been shared by everyone.

The reason why ants kill an elephant is so simple. Every farmer in the Warring States Period was a shrewd laggard hunter. They don't dare to attack a large group army, but if they attack a fragmented team of dozens or dozens, they will be very brave.

If there were only a few dozen people in the team, even if they were all elite warriors, Akechi Mitsuhide's lessons would be bloody. "The True Colors of the Wu Family" is something that everyone has a share in and everyone participates in.

The two discussed, and the front team came first to report that Mikawa Hozoji Temple had arrived. It is another Yixiang sect temple, and its scale is quite impressive.

With the soldiers gearing up, the army entered Fazang Temple. There was no one in the temple. I guess they had all evacuated after hearing the news. Naturally, all the extravagant food was transferred ahead of time, leaving nothing behind.

However, large items such as heavy magical artifacts, statues, and copper furnace engraved dials were obviously not able to be transported and evacuated in time.

Anyway, the soldiers had to move even straw sandals and wooden barrels. As long as it was something that could be moved, they didn't want anything.

Naturally, the generals headed by Uncle Tsunliang began to think about the fundamental nave of Fazang Temple. Unfortunately, there were no Buddha statues in the nave. Instead, a roll of fine silk was used to write the large characters "Namo Bu Si Guang Tathagata". Quan Dang worship.

On both sides of the main hall are statues of Arhats, as well as a large number of wooden niches gilded with gold, and even the doorposts of the nave are gilded. The big-headed soldier really didn't have the skills to scrape the gold face, but it didn't stop him from contracting the job to the Hamamatsu merchants who were following him.

If someone has a way to scrape off the gold powder, he will naturally do this business. It's a pity that Sukezaemon, who finally caught up, didn't have such a capable person under his command, and he missed it again.

Xiaopingtai was still thinking about dealing with the things she had always been worried about, so she found a step and sat down. In front of them were the cheerful and enthusiastic soldiers. They were carefree, as long as they could rob.

"Tanzasa is very depressed!" Imai Minggoro came over. There was no one around him, and it was obvious that all his subordinates had disappeared.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about how to deal with the crowd." Koheita symbolically gave way to the steps next to his butt, and motioned for Kanai Meigoro to come over and do it.

"Meigoro, do you have any good ideas?"

"There is no way to cure the symptoms, but there is a way to cure the root cause."

I have only heard of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, but Kanai Meigoro came to treat the root cause instead of the symptoms. This makes Xiaoping so happy. Is there any other way?

"Would you like to come and have a listen?" Xiao Pingtai was very interested.

"The way to use military force is to attack the heart first, and to attack the city second."

"The battle of the heart is the best, and the battle of the soldiers is the lowest."

The two asked and answered questions, one intentionally and the other unintentionally. But Xiao Pingtai immediately understood that this was a psychological warfare.

"Then how to attack the mind? What's the magic trick?"

"Don't you know that Danzheng also knows that the Nanman Taoism under Hamamatsu Castle is very popular among the people, and the number of followers increases day by day?"

Oh~~~~

It suddenly dawned on Xiao Ping that Christianity had spread faster and more successfully than Yixiang Buddhism in history, and this was despite being severely suppressed and attacked by all parties.

From Arima to Gifu, in the vast land, it has gained hundreds of thousands of believers in just 20 to 30 years. Even famous names like Takayama Shigetomo and Arima Harunobu refused to change their religion and abandon their religion even when Toyotomi Hideyoshi was enraged by the ban on Christianity.

To a certain extent, these are cells that reproduce faster than "cancers".

But what about fighting fire with fire? Xiaoping couldn't imagine it. Hamamatsu's church gained the faith of thousands of people from scratch in less than a year. If Koheta had given him a little support at the beginning of its establishment, it would have reduced the difficulty of his missionary work.

Christianity and Yixiang Buddhism are entangled, that scene must be beautiful!

"Don't look at me like that, Tansei, it makes me hairy." Kanai Meigoro looked embarrassed when he saw Koheita's expression that he was an old yandere too.

"Hahahahaha, Minggoro, this plan is very clever, it can indeed cure the root cause."

To treat the symptoms, Xiao Pingtai can use strong medicine to burn it all away, but to treat the root cause, maybe this can really work.

"Hey, hey, don't tear down this hall for me, I can use it!"

The soldiers who had climbed up to the roof and were about to start demolishing the house looked at Xiao Pingtai and wondered why they would not demolish the house.
