Chapter 18: Quelling Civil Strife (I)
It's still a little cold in the Kibi area in March, but spring has arrived, and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in the castle. In one day and one night outside the city of Heshan, the same thing disappeared, leaving only thousands of unclaimed corpses and a pile of burned Buddhist scriptures.
Benguang Temple Zhengcheng held the wooden staff wrapped in the Buddha scroll and hid in the Benguang Temple, and the Benguang Temple together with the origin of the periphery, before death I don't know if there is the same as the fast Sichuan Shaoxi mouth chanting "Anzen does not have to be a landscape, extinguish the fire in the heart and cool itself." Anyway, before Date reinforcements arrived, the temple had already been reduced to ashes.
The charge of martyrdom with the temple was borne on Date Masaki, which became the evidence that he did not like the Tsusaki sect, and obviously gave Date Masaki's hostile forces a reason to sow discord.
Rubbing his swollen forehead, Zhengheng took a deep breath, he put down the reward in his hand about the military exploits of Misakuni after a beating, although it had been more than a week since the incident, but the shock to him was still quite huge.
Date Masahiro was born as a monk, although he is not a believer in the Pure Land Shinshu, but there is no restriction on it, and he just did it in a hurry when the Kurashiki temple was in turmoil a few years ago, and in the end, he didn't expect such an evil thing to happen today. He considered himself not a harsh person, and the six princes and four peasants were obviously a heavy tax in modern times, and it was not surprising that they rebelled, but it was a kind of good government in the Wa State at that time.
Moreover, in order to give virtue to the people, strictly prohibit excessive taxes and implement a single type of land endowment, Zhengheng dispatched a large number of officials to the local government. In China, with the end of the war, the implementation of moral politics. Gradually, some popular sentiment was restored. It's just that the political balance has been used for a long time. As a result, most young adults were conscripted into the army. Only then did China not make great strides.
With the end of the war, the rearmament, the removal of military uniforms, and the beginning of spring ploughing, the exhibition of preparing for China has made great progress.
Zhengheng implemented a set of measures in preparation for China's newly added territory, and originally thought that it would soon be effective, and it would play a positive role in the political stability of the Date family. Now Sheng has always been a slap in the face of Zhengheng, suing him for not being so.
Zheng Heng was born in a small village in his previous life. The villagers live in peace and are friendly to each other, and after coming to this world, the pursuit of a better life is also quite strong.
After the reunification of China, in order to prevent those thieves who were contaminated with devilish habits from entering the territory and committing violence, they went abroad twice, consolidated the territory, and then let the seeds of peace spread in all directions. Zhengheng's attitude towards the powerful in the territory can be said to be extremely tolerant in the world. As long as Kaesong surrendered, it would survive, and even the murderers of the Hirakawa clan, who burned down Korang Castle and indirectly killed Masahiro's brother Nobuyhiro, were forgiven.
Apparently. Now this kind of tolerance has allowed the ambitions of some lawless people to grow, chanting Nam Mu Amitabha Buddha in their mouths and doing things in their actions to invade and occupy the territory. The young Masahiro immediately swelled up with anger, he first thought of Oda Nobunaga in the future Bubu world to kill to stop killing, only Ise Nagashima, North 6 Kaga and other places have always been one of the hits, he killed only two or three kittens, so that the place that has always been a blast has been uninhabited. Of course, he would not have resorted to such violent behavior as Oda Nobunaga, and it was unkind to kill civilians, let alone his own people, which contradicted the beliefs he had clinged to throughout his life.
Even if you want to kill someone, you must be charged within a certain range.
Contrary to Oda Nobunaga, the Kai tiger Takeda Shingen, who had just had a fight with his good friend Uesugi Kenshin, this benevolent brother married the daughter of Sanjo Gongyori, who was three years older than him, as the stepfamily, yes, it was the stepfamily, that is to say, he also married a woman before, of course, these are political marriages, and he can't help himself.
In the book describing Takeda Shingen, the Sanjo lady, who gave birth to three sons and two daughters, is a jealous and mediocre woman, and it is this woman who makes Takeda Shingen and the unsuccessful King Honganji Xianru become brothers-in-law. The two families concluded three covenants, formed a strong alliance, and cooperated tacitly, suffocating Uesugi Kenshin to death in Kita6 and unable to move, so they had to repeatedly ask the Hojo family to be excited.
The conclusion of an alliance with Honganji,Zhengheng thinks,But Honganji obviously doesn't think like this.,Besides, just now the beauty of the country has always been a slash to kill more than a thousand people.,The black pot of Benguang Temple** is on his back.。 If you can still agree to form an alliance like this, I'm afraid that anyone will suspect that the plan is not small.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhengheng picked up the tea on the desk and took a sip, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously some sugar was put in the tea, and he looked up at Sukegoro Tsuda who was waiting at the door and asked, "Who sent this?" ”
Tsuda Sukegoro replied outside the door, "It's Mrs. Miyoshi, and she said that she brought sugar grains from Kyoto." ”
The little Miyoshi lady is the Miyoshi Xu Ji, since he got the favor of Zhengheng, he lived in Hecheng, in order to distinguish himself from her sister, the courtiers called him the little Miyoshi lady. Zheng Heng heard that it was Mrs. Xiao Miyoshi, so he didn't ask anymore, he tapped on his desk, and turned his head to look at the large geographical map of Kibi Shikoku hanging on the wall.
The hand-drawn maps are very rudimentary, and the distribution of rivers, passes, castles, and towns in the territory is roughly distributed with different symbols and characters, so it is impossible to give an intuitive impression of the geographical environment of Kibi Shikoku. What's more, there are many villages and villas, as well as countless castles that are not marked on them, according to the temperament of the local tyrants at that time, it became their instinct to build more cities and occupy more land, and the farmers and mountain people fled into the mountains and forests in order to escape the war, which are difficult to show on the map.
Zhengheng rubbed his temples again, he still had a lot to do. When he went out on the expedition, he only thought about how to defeat the enemy, and originally thought that once he defeated the enemy, the people would naturally be grateful to Dade and would stabilize his regime.
From the overall point of view, the shape of the four countries of Kibi is not bad now, and they are all getting better and more stable, and the United States has always been quick and calm. But the thought that he had finally saved them from the dire situation, and that they had reciprocated him like this still made him extremely angry, which was what made him angry.
After thinking about it, although Misakuni has always suppressed it, Zhengheng is obviously still worried about this matter, so he ordered people to find Noyama Masato, Taoshan Masayo, Kiyokawa Hengxiu, Akagi Takao, Miyahara Masashige, Ishikawa Hisataka and others.
Noyama Yoshito, Taoyama Masayori, and Kiyokawa Tsuyohide were originally stationed in the castles of Bigo Province, and the incident of Kyokan outside Yoshida-gunyama Castle made the atmosphere even more tense, but with the explosion of Misakoku, the real situation was that the Date family was not ready for a large-scale invasion of Aki Province, and the atmosphere eased slightly, and the three returned to Tsurujo to perform their duties.
Zheng Heng glanced at everyone and asked lightly, "Akagi, how much rice does the Date family have now?" ”
Akagi Takao, as a civil official, is in charge of logistics affairs, although there are a large number of adherents of the Date family now, and these adherents belong directly to Date Masahiro, but his position is still difficult to shake, and he knows a lot about the money and food of the Date family, and replied slowly: "Back to the lord, the Date family still has 230,000 loads of grain. ”
For this figure, Zhengheng has long been aware, and the reason why Akagi Takao asked him to repeat it today is just to let the retainers present know, he has always used Tennoji Temple, which Guò Tsuda Soda, to buy grain from Kinai for gold and silver refined from copper ore, plus last year's defeat of Niko Haruhisa and the seizure of his military rations, this is 230,000 taels of grain.
Zheng Heng didn't ask any more, but said lightly to everyone: "The temple should have been built by the people's donations, but I don't know when the temple became a place to hide filth and dirt. You all know that I was originally a novice in the temple, and I had to return to the army for the sake of the continuation of the family. Always have an obsession, the samurai should save the world with a soldier, and the monks should put down the soldier to purify people's hearts. Nowadays, monks are supposed to persuade people to be good, but they are extravagant and indulgent at home, giving orders to the outside world, and enslaving the people, and they have long lost the nature of Buddhism. ”
Seeing this, Yeshan Yichao hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "The explosion of the beautiful country is really a misconduct of the young people, and now is the most critical spring ploughing time of the year, and these thieves are to blame for ignoring the roots of the people and abandoning the farmland." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Heng glanced around at everyone and said, "You are all important ministers that I have followed from scratch, and I summoned you here today to discuss with you how to deal with the relationship between my family and the Yixiang Sect?" ”
Ishikawa Hisataka is a believer in the Nichiren sect, and he has built many temples of the Nichiren sect in his territory, and has donated a lot of money and food to the temples, and the relationship between the Nichiren sect and the Ichiren sect has always been bad, and he can hear the smell of gunpowder contained in Masahiro's words, and his brows are furrowed. It's about Yixiangzong, which should have been a happy thing, but I don't know why there is always a bad feeling. He said in a low voice: "My lord, the explosion of the beautiful country is really caused by the instigation of the wicked for personal interests, and the minister knows that the sect has played a bad role in it, but I also ask His Royal Highness to make less murder, please forgive them." ”
Taking the risk of interceding, it was really Ishikawa Hisataka who saw that once he sanctioned the Ichiren Sect, he was afraid that it would affect the Nichiren Sect. The teachings of the Ichijo and Nichiren sects differed, but their characteristics were very similar, and they were imbued with worldly power, political ambition, and a sense of struggle that other sects did not have. The Astronomical Hokke Rebellion was the result of the explosion of the Lotus Sect at that time, and the blow of the people in power led to it. Once the Ichiren sect is attacked indiscriminately, the life of the Nichiren sect will not be easy.
Zhengheng obviously didn't expect Ishikawa Hisataka to oppose it first, he originally thought that Ishikawa Hisataka, who believed in Nichiren Buddhism, would strongly support it. (To be continued......)
