At the end of February in the 23rd year of astronomy (i.e., 1554), everything was reviving on the banks of the Yokono River in Misasakaku, and the cherry blossoms in the plains were already in full bloom, but the cherry blossoms in the mountains were still budding. Nakayama Shrine enjoys a high status as the highest shrine in the country.

The sky is slightly bright, the morning rooster has not yet crowed, and everything is silent. Only a few old people such as ancestral officials can clearly hear the chanting, presumably these old people are practicing in advance for the incense pilgrimage to the mountain. In ancient times, the doctrine of the unity of Shinto and Buddhism had a huge market, and the idea of the unity of gods and Buddhas was deeply rooted.

The only way to do Shinto, which was the only way to adapt to the environment was Shinon and Tendai, as was the case with the samurai, and the peasants and lower classes of the peasants and the lower classes were united to fight for favorable forms, such as the Pure Land Shinshu and Nichiren sects.

On the one hand, the older generation stubbornly guarded the old main sacrifice mirror as a god, and on the other hand, a group of young people converted to the Pure Land Shinshu, which is commonly known as the Ichikozong, and rebuilt a branch temple not far from the Zhongshan Shrine, named Benkoji Temple.

The Sect is very demagogic, so that the pilgrims of Benguang Temple are much more than the main shrine, and they all recite the Buddha's name. The current owner of the temple is a registered disciple of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, who once went to the Ishiyama Imperial Hall in Osaka to pay homage to the 10th sect leader Zhengru, and became a registered disciple of Zhengru, and the registered disciples of Zhengru have not 300 but 200.

In the shade of the cloister, a man who looked like a samurai stood. He wears a hat to hide his face. A pair of eyes constantly looked at the crowd of worshippers from under the hats. His clothes were covered with dust. It's long gone. The paint on the scabbard has also peeled off. Probably after a long journey, his straw sandals were already in tatters.

He has broad shoulders and a very thin waist. Holding the edge of the hat with one hand, he walked from one corner of the hall to the other, and after inspecting it, he stood there, his eyes unblinking, looking at the crowd of people who had come to worship.

At this time, Zhengcheng obviously noticed him as well. He whispered to the little novice beside him, "Go, invite him to the back hall." ”

The little novice whispered, and walked towards the samurai with the hat, stood three paces away, looked up, and saw the face under the hat, and he almost screamed in fright, what kind of face was that, it was terrible, with two scars on the face. It was obviously a new injury, and the polyps that raised made the whole face hideous and terrifying. Frightened, the little novice hurriedly lowered his head and said, "My lord, please come to the back hall to meet." ”

Saying that, without waiting for the hat warrior to respond, he hurriedly called Amitabha. The samurai coughed dryly, knowing that it was his own face that frightened the others, and he whispered a curse that no one could understand, and followed the little novice towards the backyard.

Zheng Cheng saw the hat warrior come in, and hurriedly said: "Xinjian Zhenjing, you can take off the hat, your injury is still healed by me, no need to cover it up with a hat, as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, don't be afraid of Date's spies." ”

Shinmi Sadatsune, the first unlucky guy to become a stepping stone for Date Masaki, and the culprit who made Date Masaki a one-eyed dragon, fled to Izumo Province alone after losing the castle, and followed him when Niko Haruha went on a crusade against Bizen Province.

During the Battle of Tenjin Mountain Castle, Shinmi Sadatsune drove his horse across the battlefield to get the attention of Niko Haruhisa, and when he noticed that the samurai of the Date family were rushing towards him from all directions, he realized what he was in, and the hatred so fierce that his whole body seemed to swell and crack. Shinmi Sadatsune leaned his body on his horse, clutching the short bayonet spear, trying to fight his way out, because hatred of Date Masahiro made him lose his belief that he finally let him out.

Escape is to escape, Shinmi Zhen suffered serious injuries, two obvious knife wounds on his face and the flesh on his back made him blurry with flesh and blood, and he couldn't see it at all, and after escaping into the country of Misaku, he fled for his life, and finally fell in a pool of blood, and met Zhengcheng who was passing by.

After learning of the fiasco of Niko Haruhusa, Shinmi Sadatsune had no way out, so he stayed at Honkoji Temple and became a samurai of the sect of Honkoji Temple. The sect has always had a tradition of directing the rebellion of the lower classes, and these samurai were the commanders of the disciples in case of emergency.

Shinmi Zhenjing took off his hat, revealing his hideous face, obviously did not regard Zhengcheng as the master, he sat directly opposite Zhengcheng, and said: "Master Zhengcheng, have you really made up your mind?" If you make up your mind, you can't be merciful. ”

Zhengcheng, full name Benguang Temple Zhengcheng, the son of the ancestral palm of Zhongshan Shrine, when his father died, he was still a child, and the position of the ancestral palm was inherited by his uncle, and he himself wandered to the stone mountain palace and became a registered disciple of Zhengru. When he was twenty years old, he returned to Misasakaku with more than a dozen monks, and at that time, the Nakayama Shrine had just been attacked by Niko Haruma and burned down many buildings, but instead of ousting his uncle from power like many family battles, he rebuilt a temple near the Nakayama Shrine and named it Honkoji Temple. vigorously exhibited his followers, and naturally became the main church of the country of the Sect in the United States, and he became the master of China.

The turmoil in Misakukoku provided the basis for the exhibition of Honkoji Temple. With the end of the turmoil in Misasaka, Date Masaki unified Misasaka, and the distribution of some policies that were conducive to people's livelihood, the enforcement of the six gongs and four farmers, coupled with the need to seize the land and liquidate the illegally occupied Terada, made the foundation of Motokoji Temple shaken. In addition, with the improvement of status, Zhengcheng's personal ** and ambition have also expanded, and the idea of Kaga Country China has been raised.

Zheng Cheng shouted "Amitabha" and then said: "Benguang Temple was originally a place to save the world, and now the Date family is coming to occupy the land on which the people live. ”

"A typical style of being a bitch and setting up a torii." Shinmi Sadatsura slandered, but he didn't object anymore, stumbling on Date Masaki is the only motivation for him to live now, and the rebellion of Misaku Kunisheng has always been Zong, which will obviously make Date Mashiro very passive. He thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I've been wandering around for many years, and I've been involved in the tactics of bandit ronins and the monks of Honganji Temple. In the troubled times, the regular tactics of the city lords could not protect the people. If you don't rely on the city, but choose to spread your subordinates in the villages and mountains, these people can quickly become a fighting force once the time comes; And when they are dispersed in normal times, they become ordinary people again, hidden among the people. The power of this is unimaginable. ”

Obviously, he has studied the process of the various traditions, especially Kaga, and knows that what the Shinmi Sadatsura says is not false, and that the basic organization of the Tsuyoshi sect is called preaching, generally one lecture per village, and there are also several lectures in several villages or several lectures in one village, and the number of people who preach at one lecture varies from dozens to several hundred. Honkoji Temple has been exhibited in the United States for nearly 20 years, and there are a large number of believers in the mountainous area, and if it is organized, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of troops, which is the confidence of sincerity.

Zheng Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "Now the signs at various intersections are promoting the six princes and four farmers, and the officials of the Date family are also strictly enforcing the decrees on the notices, plus a war has just ended, and it is difficult for the people of the country in Misaku to be instigated." ”

Shinmi Sadatsune smiled in a low voice and said noncommittally: "Don't worry, now is a good time for riots, once the words of the Date family are proved to be true after the autumn harvest this year, it will be difficult for the people to be instigated again, and now with a little use of tricks, the people can be obedient." ”

Zheng Cheng asked: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Shinmi Sadatsune said slowly in his low and hoarse voice: "The first is arson, and the people are most likely to be afraid when they see the fire. Then there was looting, which made the people feel insecure. Once again, they incited the people and spread rumors that the lords no longer protected them and were no longer capable of protecting them. In this way, the temple called on its disciples to come and defend the temple. In this way, they will come to follow the Honkoji Temple, ostensibly a rebellion of the lords, but in fact, the Honkoji Temple will replace the secular family as the new lord. ”

Zhengcheng didn't expect that Shinmi Zhenjing's strategy would be so vicious, a chill passed through his spine, and his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Xinjian Zhenjing. When Zheng Cheng calmed down, the more he felt the horror of the Shinmi Sutra, and the person who could come up with such a vicious scheme was really a terrible person.

Seeing the change in Zhengcheng's complexion, he knew that his words made Zhengcheng full of jealousy, but he didn't mean to bow his head in the slightest, and looked up at Zhengcheng who was sitting in the seat, he believed that with Zhengcheng's cleverness, he should know how to choose.

The two fell silent, and a monk who specialized in inquiring about the movements of the Date family hurriedly went to the back hall under the leadership of Xiao Shami, and when he saw Zhengcheng and Shinmi Sadajing, he immediately reported: "Master, just now came the news from An Yi Province that the Mori family attacked Numata Village and was counterattacked by the Date family, and suffered heavy casualties, and Mori Yuan passed out in a fit of anger and did not wake up for several days. As he spoke, he told the story of Numata Sho back and forth, especially the trembling story of Kyokan outside the mountain castle of Nayoshida County.

Hearing this, Zhengcheng's back was cold again, he obviously didn't expect the Date family's taboo to be so intense, and he began to hesitate again about the Misaku National Movement, but fortunately, there was the instigation of Shinmi Sadatsune and others around him. Just when Date Mashiro urgently convened a military meeting in response to the crisis of Aki Province, Ichizone suddenly rebelled in Misasaka Province, which quickly spread to most of Misasaka Province, and even expanded to Hachi, Inaba and other countries.
