Chapter Twenty-Three: The Shingong Party That Can't Be Supported (Part I)
In March of the 23rd year of Astronomy (i.e., 1554), once the sword hunting order was issued, the hundreds of officials that the Date family had previously sent to the counties and villages played a huge role, and these small officials immediately scared the local nobles into a cold sweat...... Speaking of which, the status of these people in the Date family is not very high, and some of them are even veterans who have just come out of the Shokan Academy, but they can't stand the face of the Date family, and under the tough attitude of the Date family, who would dare to seriously offend them? These people are all selected scribes from the Executive Hall Society, who are familiar with the case and official affairs, meticulous in their work, and vigorous in their work, which suddenly brings a bit of fresh air to the stagnant habits of the place. With their urging and efforts, the sword hunting order soon began, not to mention that there was a direct force of the Date family behind them to escort them, whoever dared to resist would be the poor chick in the chicken killing monkey, no one wanted to be a chicken.
The entire Italing was basically spent in this hectic and orderly atmosphere. However, the busy schedule of thirty or forty days is also a remarkable achievement. After spending a lot of farm tools and money, the sword hunting order was implemented very smoothly. Ten days later, the sword hunting order that had been suspended after half of the implementation of the foreign war in Bei China was also completed, Bizen and Misaku were completed at the end of March, and when they arrived in Bigo Province, there was a skirmish, but fortunately it did not cause much conflict, and the Kyokan of Yamashiro Castle in Yoshida County was still vivid, and no one dared to confront the Date family.
The Date family's sword hunting order was not very strict, and the people were still allowed to keep the sacrificial knives and guns, and even the hidden feet and armor did not insist on confiscating them. This is also one of the reasons why he was able to complete the sword hunting order in Shun LĂŹ.
In order to better complete the sword hunting order. On the one hand, the entire Date Army was dispatched to escort it. On the other hand, they sell all kinds of agricultural tools in the name of exchanging weapons for agricultural tools. At that time, the very little iron ore produced in the Wa Kingdom was used to make weapons, and most of the agricultural tools used by farmers were made of wood, which was very unpracticed.
The influx of copper farming tools has greatly increased the cultivation of farmland, and at the same time, the collection work has also been accelerated a lot. Otherwise, in less than a month, Kibi Shikoku would not have completed the preliminary sword hunting order so smoothly.
A total of 13,754 katanas, 27,31 ribs, 15,155 spears, 1,631 bows, 674 pieces of armor, and 141 helmets were seized as a result of the sword hunting order.
Zheng Heng looked at the account book in his hand, and was stunned, cold sweat repeatedly, the account book was full of the number of weapons confiscated, although most of these weapons were inferior, but after eliminating some of them, many of them could still be used. This is enough to equip a standing army of 30,000 men.
Therefore, for Zhengheng, the money is always on standby. You can save more than half of it. After the implementation of the sword hunting order, it can be said that the force of the peasants was castrated, and now even if it is instigated by the sect, it is difficult for the peasants without large-scale weapons to form much destructiveness.
With the large-scale use of copper farm tools, the shadow caused by the United States has also dissipated a lot, even in the United States, spring ploughing has been orderly to grab seeds.
Seeing the submissions from all over the place, the political balance in Hecheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, for most of the past half a month, he had been busy with the matter of the sword hunting order every day, and now this hanging stone can finally be put down. Although he knew that there were still some swords left in the village, in fact, he didn't have to worry about the usual matters in the short term.
Putting down the account book in his hand, he picked up a copy of the document submitted by Hashimoto Masamitsu and the Ichijo sect, Hashimoto Masamitsu not only did an excellent job of completing the task that Masahiro thought was impossible, but also reached a peace agreement with the Ichijo sect in addition.
At the beginning of March, Masamitsu Hashimoto went to Ishiyama Honganji Temple with a letter from Masahiro to contact the people of Ichizo Honzan, the head of the Ichizo sect, about the rebellion of the Ichizo Kuni Ichijo sect.
Since one of the most important actions of Honganji after becoming the Dharma Master was to move the Honganji temple headquarters from Yamashina to Ishiyama, it can be said that he was the founder of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and his status in Ishiyama Honganji Temple was extremely high. In the old time and space, Honganji was on December 27 of that year when it passed away, but this time and space was advanced by nearly half a year, and Ishiyama Honganji did not have the chaos that Hashimoto Masamitsu imagined. Since Honganji was ill during the winter, he made a will early, and the eleven-year-old Honganji Nyorai inherited the throne as the head of the law, assisted by his grandmother, Keisuin.
If it's a mediocre person, I'm afraid I'll be at a loss immediately, and during the Honganji Temple's death, it would be a bit inappropriate to discuss the rebellion of Misakuni Ichizun again. Hashimoto Masamitsu is also a wise and brave figure, and immediately went to Sakai Port, used the money he brought to ease relations to buy some funeral goods from Tennoji House half on credit, and hired a group of idlers who ate near Sakai Port, and went to Ishiyama Honganji Temple for funeral in the name of Date Family.
Hashimoto Masamitsu came to the funeral in the name of the Date family, and it was obviously impossible for Ishiyama Honganji to refuse it, and Hashimoto Masamitsu was also the first daimyo envoy to come to the funeral, and distant families such as Takeda Harunobu and Uesugi Masatora, and nearby families such as Hosokawa and Hatakeyama had not yet arrived.
Soon Hashimoto Masamitsu met the true hostess of Ishiyama Honganji, Honganji Xianru's grandmother, Keisuin, and reached a harmonious agreement under the grief of the funeral, and Honganji Xianru pressed his seal on the official document for the first time.
Looking at the document in his hand, Zhengheng smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Hashimoto Masahide's son is really a tiger father without a dog, and Tanba's age is getting older, so let him serve as the deputy minister of foreign affairs, specializing in liaison with Yizong." â
The passing away of Honganji Temple, the ascendancy of Honganji Temple, can be said to be the arrival of a new era. The stormy days of the times, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, all grew up in the battle with Honganji Xianru, and these people either compromised, or formed alliances, or confronted, and Honganji Xianru had a lot of weight in the stage of these people.
Zhengheng couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement when he thought of the ups and downs of these times on the stage of history. Yes, in the old time and space, the people of the western country could only be the background characters, the Takamatsu Castle water battle, the background of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rapid advance was the weakness of Mori Motomi's two sons, the Sekigahara battle, and Mori Motoyoshi's grandson fought a soy sauce and became a stepping stone for the Tokugawa shogunate.
Now Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Masatora have just finished the first Kawanakajima battle, both sides are not satisfied with the first confrontation, and a bigger confrontation is brewing under the fierce soldiers, they still don't know that this confrontation lasted for ten years, and a total of five Kawanakajima battles can be said to have exhausted all their mental strength.
Twenty-one-year-old Oda Nobunaga had just lost his Shinobi Hirate Masahide, and began a flesh-and-blood rivalry with his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki.
Eighteen-year-old Toyotomi Hideyoshi was dismissed by Matsushita Kabei for slander, and returned to Owari, where he had just become a servant of Oda Nobunaga, looking forward to the day when he would come out.
Twelve-year-old Tokugawa Ieyasu was still a hostage of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and lived in Rinzai Temple, where he became the care and education of an old monk of Rinzaiji Temple, who was the military advisor of Imagawa Yoshimoto, who single-handedly directed the Matsudaira family and fell into the arms of the Imagawa family.
Date Masahiro's family, the mother of a man who often lamented that he was born twenty years late, otherwise he could compete with Uesugi, Takeda, and Nobunaga is still a six-year-old girl who plays flower arrangement.
Now, Zhengheng is moving faster than the ups and downs of these times, and it can be said that it is at the forefront of the times. He believed that when Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Masatora, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu faced the Western Kingdom again, they would see a mountain that overwhelmed them.
Putting the letter away neatly, Zheng Heng picked up a famous post on the table and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's really a dou who can't be helped!" He called the soldiers outside the door to come in and said, "Go to the gatehouse and lead the messenger of the Xingong Party to the side hall for a long time." "Nizi Shujiu is the youngest son of Nizi Guojiu of the Xingong Party Party, the old time and space Xingong Party was destroyed, Nizi Shujiu escaped a catastrophe and became a monk, and his legal name was Tianjiao Shouxin, and later went to Koyasan to practice, and disappeared.
In mid-October of the 22nd year of Astronomy (1553), Niko Haruhisa mobilized an army of more than 50,000 people, grain, grass, baggage, and countless mules and horses, and launched a counterinsurgency war against Bizen Province on the pretext of rescuing Urakami Masamune to quell the family civil strife. The war was not as smooth as beforehand, and it was hit by Date Masahiro, not to mention the loss of troops, and even almost all the members of the expedition from Niko Harumhisa and Nizi Yoshihisa were captured alive, and all the grain, grass, baggage, mules and horses fell into the hands of Date and the family.
With the aim of disrupting Izumo Province, shortly after the war, Niko Haruha was sent back to Japan with four retainers and 500 personal soldiers to fight the Shingu Party, who had just entered Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. Originally, the idea of political balance, the Shingu Party first owned Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, and secondly, with the name of good fighting, coupled with the ventilation of the Yamanaka Yudaka, it should be Niko Haruha who is losing and retreating.
Obviously, Zhengheng overestimated the elm head of the Shingu Party, and under such favorable conditions, he was also instigated by Niko Haruhisa to vomit blood and his brothers turned against him, Nizi Chengjiu and Niko Jingjiu each took a force to hold a corner, giving Nikko Haruhisa a good chance to break through.
