Samurai of the Takeda Family

Bendo Zhengxin continued to speak to Li Xiaojian: "The negotiations between my family and Yixiangzong are imperative. The lord can truthfully report the matter here to the lord for judgment. At the same time, we must also do a good job at that time. , And the response to Shengxing Temple. The current dispute between the two families is really caused by the improper communication between the family and Hongan Temple. I think if the two sides keep in touch at all times, unnecessary conflicts can be avoided."

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Zhengxin, what you said is correct, you are the most suitable person to negotiate with Hongan Temple, and you will go to Shengxing Temple for me to convey my goodwill to the abbot Xuanzong. Master, you must protect the harmony between the two families."

The abbot of Shengxing Temple, Hongan Temple Xuanzong, is the eighth generation of the Hongan Temple, the fourth son of Lianru Master, the son of Shixuan, the second son of Hongan Temple.

Similarly, Lianqin, the abbot of Jingbo Ruiquan Temple, is the ninth master of Hongan Temple, the second male of Lianru Master, and the husband of the same mother and sister Liru of Hongan Temple.

In addition to its bases in Viet Central, Hongan Temple is based on Shengxing Temple and Ruiquan Temple. It also includes Kaga, the neighboring country of Vietnam, and Hongan Temple "Kaga Sanriji Temple" --- Honsen Temple, Songshan Temple, and Kokyo Temple.

Before the Kaga and Ichiku incident, the abbots of these five temples and the eleventh generation of the master of Shishan Honganji, the head of the main mountain, Honganji, are descendants of Lianru, and they are related to each other by blood.

Bendo sighed with confidence and said to Li Xiao: "The minister must complete the mission of the lord."

After Honda Zhengxin left, Li Xiao thought for a while, and immediately ordered Yokotani Yukiqing to summon his brother Yokotani again.

After sunset, Yokotani Yukishige appeared in the castle tower of the castle town.

Upon seeing Yokotani Yukiju, Li Xiao asked directly: "How is the intelligence collection done in Yuezhong?"

Yokotani yelled loudly and said: "The lord, his ministers are already in several large cities in Viet-Chong, such as Toyama Castle, the main guardian of the two major guardians of Viet Nam, Toyama Castle, Shiina Castle, Matsakura Castle, and Hongan Temple's Katsuko. The temple and Ruiquan Temple have established intelligence contact points."

Li Xiao nodded, and then asked, "How did you infiltrate the city's personnel before?"

"When the adults were preparing to attack the city, our ninjas had already planted a lot of manpower here to watch. After the adults occupied the city a month ago, the foundation of our ninjas also moved secretly from the town of Kamioka. In the town where the castle is born, there are now more than fifty ninjas in the ninja family, and they are currently hiding in the city under various identities as disguise."

"Oh?" Li Xiao asked back, "Since the foundation of the ninjas has already been established in the city, I didn't know why the Hongan Temple set up a ‘teaching’ Fa meeting near the city this time."

Yokotani Yukushige bowed his head and said, "My lord, I'm very sorry. Previously, I was only spying on local names such as Saito's house, and information about the land. Therefore, the ninja crowd was not profitable for collecting intelligence from nearby villages. This time it was out. For such incidents, the subordinates did not report to the lord in advance, which is a negligence of the subordinates. Please be punished by the lord."

Li Xiao waved his hand. He also knew that the intelligence network of his ninjas was too large. Here, Yokotani Yukushige must train the ninja assassination team, and he must also be responsible for the intelligence collection of the Yuezhong and Hida countries. Work, so omissions are inevitable.

Li Xiaoyan said: "Fortunately, this matter has happened now, I don't want to pursue it, but the most important thing is how to make up for it. This time because of the secret intervention of Hongan Temple, my family is in a very disadvantaged situation in Yuezhong, do you understand?"

Yukiya Yokotani reiterated: "Thank you for your tolerance. The ministers will definitely make up for it this time. In fact, this time the ministers have heard the news that the villages are preparing to refuse tax, but due to the specific reasons of the investigation, the time to report to the master was delayed."

After a pause, Yokotani said: "The lord is actually in more than 20 villages near the city. This time there is a tax rejection. Apart from the fact that some villagers are bewitched by the official of the Hongan Temple, there are other reasons."

"What's the reason?" Li Xiao asked.

"According to the investigation by the ministers, the Saito family who has lost their original basis, there are still many remaining retainers lurking in the villages, and a few of the village leaders still have a foolish and loyal servant to the Saito family. In addition, some villages The name owner had a poor harvest this year, and considered that if he paid the annual tribute this year, the people in the village would be very difficult, so he decided to resist the tax."

Listening to Yokotani's analysis in this way, Li Xiao got a general idea of ​​the reason for the anti-tax incident.

Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "According to you, although the reasons for the tax resistance of each village are different, the force taken by my Takeda family will not rush forward even if there are various reasons, but this time the actions are so consistent. Obviously, it is the Hongan Temple taking the lead and connecting the villages, right?"

Yukiya Yokotani nodded in focus, with a look of worship in his eyes, and said: "Yes, Lord, according to the return of the ninjas under his servants, Shengxing Temple sent their Fangguan Xuanli, and it was he who lobbied back and forth in the villages of Chengsheng City. Only then did they set up a "speaking" Fa conference in each village, and contacted the village leaders to refuse to pay the annual tribute to the city."

Li Xiao snorted, this mysterious act very upset him.

Li Xiao analyzed the information carefully in his head. After pondering for a while, he had already figured out a conspiracy to deal with Hongan Temple. He immediately asked Yokotani Yuki: "When this mystery came to the villages to preach, you can have it with you. Other guards?"

Yokotani nodded and said: "This mysterious theory is very careful. When I came to various villages to preach and explain the "Imperial Text" of the Lord, at least nearly a hundred monks and soldiers followed."

"Nearly a hundred monks and soldiers," Li Xiao said hesitantly, "this is a bit difficult."

Yukiya Yokotani reiterated: "Lord, if you want to remove the mystery, your subordinates can send an assassination team to do it. They have been organized for more than half a year and haven't shown their skills. But the subordinates don't understand. It works, Hongan Temple will send other Fangguans."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Fortunately, I don't just want you to kill Xuan Li, but I must not show any traces. The most important thing is that I must try to plant on the villagers in the village, so that no one will doubt that I am here. ."

Yokotani said with a loud voice and said, "Is it a planting? The officials understand. But the officials thought that even if Xuan Li was killed, the Hongan Temple would not fall into this family's planting strategy, but believed that the villagers killed their own Fang officials. "

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if the Hongan Temple believes it or not, as long as the villagers believe it. After killing the mystery, you send ninjas to infiltrate the villages, spread rumors among the villagers, and claim that the Hongan Temple I'm very angry about Xuan Li's killing, so I will take revenge."

After a pause, Li Xiao said again: "In these villages, the news is blocked, and the local servants and the celebrities who live in the countryside on weekdays may not see through my strategy. It doesn't matter if a small number of people see through it, there are many ninjas in this family. The purpose of this is to let the rumors take root in the hearts of the villagers, and then it is enough to raise doubts about the Hongan Temple, and I will take care of other things by myself."

Gu Xingzhong agreed to withdraw.

Two days later, at night, in the well village outside the city.

Hongan Temple Fang Guan Xuan Li was killed by the female believer's husband at night while staying in the female believer's home. The reason for the incident was that the male host was unwilling to be humiliated by his wife, and angrily made the killing. After hacking Xuan Li, the male host also committed suicide by his wife's side.

Suddenly, there was no evidence. The villagers, as well as the monks and soldiers who followed the mystery, believed the fact that the male master killed the official of the Hongan Temple.

As soon as Xuan Li died, the news spread among the villages instantly.

Following the news of Xuan Li's death, another shocking news spread from the merchants, ronin and other outsiders in the villages.

The content of the news is that Shengxing Temple was very angry about the killing of Fangguan among the believers.

The presiding officer of Shengxing Temple prepared to deal with the followers of Yixiangzong in the villages of Chengshengcheng.

Breaking the door is to drive the believers out of the pure land Zhenzong gate wall.

This is one of the most feared disposal methods of the believers, and it is more terrifying than death.

The doctrine of Hongan Temple is not to reproduce the retribution, but to cultivate the afterlife.

This religious thought particularly caters to the hearts of the peasants who are living in poverty. They have already given the name master, the land, and the name to be a cow and a horse in this life, which is hard enough.

And the main spiritual sustenance of living is to recite ‘Namo Amitabha’ every day, in order to seek the blessing of the next life, and to be able to live in bliss after death.

At the beginning, the Kaga country, Vietnam, and Hongan Temple had always been moved. Why were those believers so brave? With simple weapons, thousands of people rushed toward the enemy army without fear of death.

The reason is because the Lord of Hongwan Temple promised them that if they died to defend the Dharma, they would rise to Western bliss after death.

And once the believers are dealt with, it means that the Lord of Hongwan Temple is rrying with them, and you have no allocation of the ticket to Xitian Bliss, and you will live forever and struggle in the sea of ​​suffering in this world.

For the followers of Yixiangzong, this is really more terrifying than death.

So when the rumors of this break were spread, people with ulterior motives were incited behind the scenes.

In the village near Chengsheng Castle, all believers of Yixiangzong immediately dragged their families and drove to Shengxing Temple in Tonami County, hoping to rush to the temple, bow down and beg the abbot, the official's forgiveness, don’t treat them Carry out a break deal.

Within a few days, all the pious and honest people of Yixiangzong rushed to Shengxing Temple in a swarm, and this crowd reached as many as two to three thousand.

Li Xiao's retainers, Dao Shengmeng and Shioka Kazuyu, were shocked to see such a large population movement in the collar.

So they hurriedly reported to Li Xiao.

Although Li Xiao's dominance over the consulate is zero now, such a large population movement is not a good thing in the end.

But when they didn't know, the current situation was precisely under Li Xiao's deliberate manipulation.

As far as this group is concerned, the most stubborn and most difficult members of the Yixiang sect left Li Xiao’s territory ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The village owners and villagers remain, after this turmoil, for a while It is also panic.

And Li Xiao wants to calm down the resistance in the villages, and the resistance is much smaller at once. At this time, the time for Li Xiao to wait for Ranwen Novel Network is ripe and he can start to do it.

Li Xiao’s first step did not rashly send troops directly to the villages to conquer, or send people to levy taxes. Instead, he issued a ‘knife hunting order’ to the villages.

The Japanese daimyo has always been hiding soldiers in the farming operations. Therefore, in every rural village, the land servants and the common people have a large number of weapons and arms, which means that as long as they are mobilized, the peasants in the village put down their hoes and take them from their own homes. With swords and guns armor, you can join the army.

However, the villages have weapons hidden in them, and at the same time they have used all sorts of land plots, which has always created favorable conditions for them.

What Li Xiao has to do now is to issue a "knife hunting order" to collect all the weapons from all the villages. Let's see how these gangsters, without weapons, can give me armed resistance against taxes.

Two hundred chapters, let’s celebrate. what. . ..
