A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

With Lai Lian's introduction, Master Xianru, who had been lying down to rest, got up from the bed without saying a word.

Which is more important, a wife or a cannon?

It seems that the master is only around thirty. Although he is a fair-weather monk, at least his bald head is neatly shaved. His clean and smooth head looks like a skinless winter melon under the light of the candle.

In the next room, Lai Lian had already ordered people to bring the Falang machine gun to the imperial palace in disguise, and opened our Gatling Bodhisattva in front of their Amitabha Tathagata, which was quite suitable for the occasion.

"Your Majesty's kindness will be remembered by humble monks."

Wearing a purple cassock and holding a high-level monk position like Quan Sengzheng, the Master appears to be quite different from Kuaichuan Shaoxi's temperament of playing riddles. He spoke very straightforwardly, saying directly that I remember Taro Yamauchi's friendship. You can ask for any compensation you Yamauchi family wants. As long as I can agree to it, I will definitely satisfy you.

"It's just that my Lord worships gods and Buddhas and gives a little charity." Koheita just hopes that Honganji Temple can disgust Oda Nobunaga more, and he really doesn't have any requirements.

This made Master Xianru a little confused, and he looked at an old monk next to him. The old monk squinted his eyes, thinking that he had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, but he still rarely saw gifts without asking for anything in return, so the old monk spoke.

"Since Fujiwara Danmasa came here sincerely, although you and I are different sects, we should be consistent in our principles."

Righteousness? The old monk spoke very nicely.

"I wonder who the master is?" Xiao Pingtai bowed his head and saluted. At this age, the old monk looked like he was in his sixties or seventies. No matter what his position, he must have at least some respect.

"This is the Dharma Bridge built in the lower room of our courtyard." Lai Lian in the lower room also respected the old monk.

Ouch! Shimo Yoriteru! One of the generals of the Honganji side, Echizen Ichiki directed the generals to launch a counterattack against the Oda army. However, due to the inability to reconcile the generals from other places and the countryside, the success failed.

"The Dharma Bridge is so famous that I have heard about it even when I am in the countryside of the Eastern Kingdom."

"It's just that I have grown a little older, and then I will be famous all over the world."

"My Lord sent me here just to help the Master promote Buddhism and punish evil!" Xiaoping Tai said this briefly.

"Does the Xia Ma Temple also have the intention of eradicating the evildoers?" The eyes of the three monks in front of them lit up at the same time.

Their Honganji Temple has made up their minds to fight to the death with Oda Nobunaga in order to protect their power and wealth. Even the monks' food, weapons and military supplies have been prepared in advance. Just wait for Oda Nobunaga to come to Settsu to attack the Miyoshi trio, and give Oda Nobunaga a hard blow.

However, they must have known the combat effectiveness of Yi Kui Zhong. The monk soldiers naturally have good combat effectiveness. However, Yi Kui Zhong is the common people. In addition to their numbers and beliefs, they don't even have weapons.

If the "Kaidoichi Taishou" subordinates Mataro to join the war against Oda Nobunaga, the 45,000 troops marching straight from Tokaido to Huanglong will definitely be a thunder blow to Oda Nobunaga.

"I can't boast about this matter." Koheita knew that Yamauchi and the Oda clan would probably have a battle, but now the two sides have not broken up, and they are still ministers of the shogunate.

Now Taro Yamauchi is still going to Luoyang to pay homage to Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga. How can he fall out with him just because he says he has fallen out with them?

"Xia Ma Dian is actually involved in the situation. The implication is huge and we can't make a decision..." Noriyori Shima showed that the Hakuyama family also had difficulties.

"That's it!"

"Then this..." Lai Lian is worthy of this Fo Lang's blunderbuss.

"I think the Master has already made up his mind, so I just want to lend a helping hand."

"good!"

Although he always hopes that Yamauchi will give Honganji a promise or guarantee, Koheita will definitely not let go. Now that Yamauchi Oda is still an ally, secretly helping Honganji is the maximum possible operation, and it is impossible to break up immediately.

The idea of ​​Honganji Temple is naturally very realistic. The forces in Kinkinai are currently in a state of trying to save Grandpa. Since Ashikaga Yoshiaki was still in Luoyang Nijo Imperial Palace, Oda Nobunaga was still in power in the shogunate. These anti-Nobunaga forces are still rebels and traitors. Even if they get Ashikaga Yoshiaki's belt edict, it is not reliable.

There is no central leader to take command, and everyone fights independently. Not only did it give Oda Nobunaga opportunities to defeat him, but it also made every force that resisted Oda Nobunaga far weaker than Nobunaga.

Honganji Temple is almost fighting alone now. The Maori family may be willing to provide some military food and supplies, but the Maori family's own old man Motoji is just kicking his legs. The political system of the National People's Congress means that he must have some undercurrents. To put it bluntly, I haven't cleaned up my house yet, so I can't really roll up my sleeves and fight with Oda Nobunaga.

The three of them were right in front of them, but the 20,000 people didn't look like they could defeat Nobunaga's 50,000 or 60,000 people. Honganji's alliance with him was a 50-50 situation in the eyes of this group of monks.

But if Yamauchi is tied to a chariot, Oda Nobunaga's lair will be under the watchful eye of Yamauchi. At least 20,000 to 30,000 troops must be left to guard the lair in order to be able to fight. This greatly reduced Oda Nobunaga's mobile troops and increased Honganji's chance of victory.

Since there was no way to form an open alliance for the time being, the three great monks, including Master Xian Ru, immediately retreated and settled for the next best thing.

How to fire this cannon?

Especially Xia Jian Lai Lian, who is good at military affairs, is full of energy and his eyes are shining.

Xiaopingta laughed loudly and pointed to the moon outside. It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Talking about firing guns now was no joke!

Only then did a few people realize that it was so late at night. Master Xianru immediately invited Xiao Pingtai to rest in the courtyard, and he ensured that he would entertain you with satisfaction and happiness.

He asked Honda Masanobu to go back and give a message. Seeing the warm invitation, Xiaoping Tai couldn't resist and gave up.

When they got up the next day, three great monks, together with several other great monks dressed in brocade, treated Little Pingtai to a sumptuous breakfast, and then took Little Pingtai to the playground below the city.

Give us a shot!

The gunners were ready, but Xiaoping was too afraid that they would reveal the news, so he asked them to mobilize dozens of iron cannons and fire a few rounds of volleys first, making the noise loud enough to make the people in the city think that they were practicing iron cannons.

After the people in the city got used to the loud noise, they asked the Yamauchi artilleryman to come over. Lai Lian put on his civilian clothes again and followed closely, staring hard at the Yamauchi artilleryman, wishing to keep every step in his mind.

Boom!

Buddha opened his eyes!

A group of great monks staggered around and made a fool of themselves. But for cannons, there is really nothing to say. Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times, that's the truth.

Including a short and lean man standing among the iron cannons a little further away, they all liked it very much!

(Continue to collect the names of Taro Yamauchi, but there is no need to mention the previous Muromachi shoguns. There are also Yoshiaki, Yoshiji, and Yoshikatsu. They should not have the same name as their ancestors. It is unreasonable.)
