At a time when the five Nakano sisters were given the opportunity to sue for the court, the situation in the Nagashima area was rapidly intensifying.

In several villages near the temple, tax collectors were attacked. Ten monks and hundreds of villagers were suspected of being arrested and imprisoned.

The government of Kobe Castle, Mori Chong, judged that this was "an inevitable small conflict in the process of land seizure", and did not take it to heart, but only ordered: "The monks should treat each other with courtesy, detain them for the time being, and if they are really innocent, they will be sent out of the country at a later date; The common people can be tortured appropriately, and those who have done it will be put to death, and those who have done it will be punished. ”

The abbot of Nagashima Prayer Temple immediately sent a fang official, Shimoma Yorisei, with a small number of soldiers, to contact the representatives of public opinion in each village, put on a posture of saluting first and then soldiers, and proposed to "communicate".

Guofu Sheng Chong did not dare to ignore it, and immediately agreed, but also secretly transferred troops to be on guard.

The two sides made an appointment to meet near Mie-gun.

In the course of the negotiations, the two sides insisted on their own words, and the differences were extremely great, and it was completely impossible to reach an agreement.

On the samurai side, it was considered unquestionable that as a guardian of the prefecture, they enjoyed the right to govern the villages and places in the prefecture, and that there was no doubt that the shogunate and the peace family would have the backing of the shogunate.

This is seen as unforgiving, without compassion.

The monks and peasants, who were not in charge, somehow came up with a few yellowed and old documents, claiming that the Venerable Lotus had already obtained privileges from the Isshiki clan, who was the head of the chamberlain at the time.

This makes the other side feel that it is looking for chapters and sentences, and it is unreasonable.

In short, when it comes to the issue of interests, no one wants to let go easily.

In the Fuso region of this era, the tax situation was completely different due to the great differences in the degree of centralization of power in various places. There is a big difference between the theoretical and actual tax rates. Some of the powerful daimyo who have a strong grip on the grassroots will take sixty or seventy percent of the output, leaving only food rations for the people. Other daimyos, who had a weak ruling foundation, could only receive one or two percent of the land tax, and were helpless to conceal the reports from the lower classes.

But life for the villagers is not necessarily better.

For example, in the Kita-Ise region, the actual proportion of the lords is only a little more than 1/2 percent, which seems to be a very light burden, but correspondingly, the lords are not too concerned about matters such as public security and water conservancy, and the villagers often need to pay regular tribute to nearby temples to ensure their safety, and sometimes they have to scrape together their own money to hire people to fight against thieves.

When the government rashly proposed "land inspection", it did not carefully consider the actual situation at all.

His strength was not strong enough to make the people feel awe and trust, and he could not be widely recognized. At the same time, it is inevitable to compete with the temple community for food.

In Mie County, fifteen delegates from each side were elected and heated discussions were held for a long time. At first, I also paid attention to the basic truths, and set up funnels, one by one, and took turns to speak within the specified time.

But after a long time to reach a consensus, under the impetuousness, it gradually turned into a chicken and a duck talking, and even personal attacks, insulting each other, no longer caring about any face.

In the end, I don't know whether someone deliberately demonstrated or accidentally went out of the fire, but the iron cannon held by a certain monk and soldier suddenly shot into the sky, and the loud sound and the smell of gunpowder smoke diffused.

suddenly became the fuse,

The samurai drew their swords one after another, and the monks and the common people did not give in, and the swords were tense for a while.

The former are all in armor and fully armed; The latter are numerous and aggressive.

Confrontation for a long time, not giving in to each other, but with jealousy, shouting and shouting to kill, insulting the other party's eight generations of ancestors, fighting for a long time in the air, not really doing anything, holding on until sunset, each retreated.

So there weren't too many casualties, only a few unlucky ones who were too nervous and broke down.

But it is clear that the prospect of peace negotiations is no longer valid.

The state capital of Kobe Castle felt that it was not good, and while hurriedly reorganizing the army for war, he invited Oda Nobutaka to come out to "preside over the situation". The abbot of Nagashima Prayer Temple entrusted the local military and political affairs to Shimoma Yorisei, and personally dispatched to Ishiyama to seek support.

This is where the chaos becomes known.

It even quickly reached the ears of Hirate Honshu and Honganji Xianru.

It is evident that the Venerable Master was still boasting that "there is a disdainful faction in the Kinai who will help him, and he will definitely be able to ensure the safety of one party", and when he learned of this, he was very embarrassed and annoyed, and he was determined to further strengthen the centralization of power internally.

The Lord of the Criminal Department was also a little surprised, and immediately received a secret letter from his son, saying: "I learned that the change on Long Island was imminent, and I took immediate action, although I did not stop it, but I should be able to control the situation and prevent it from deteriorating." Time is tight, acting without permission, and I ask my father to forgive me. ”

What's going on?

……

It is said that on the side of Omi Renguang Temple, Miss Saori met with the five sisters on a whim and patiently listened to the affairs of the Nagashima area.

Nakano Marutaro was stopped outside and was not allowed to approach. Because he is a stinky man, he is annoying to see, and he looks far less cute than the five lively little girls.

That's right, "looking cute" is the key factor for the five sisters to be treated exceptionally.

As a deep boudoir girl, Miss Saori naturally doesn't understand the exquisiteness of the countryside. But she has been taught by her mother since she was a child, and she is quite talented in the temple and mansion.

Especially for the wrists of the monks of the Sect who have always walked the rivers and lakes, they have heard it countless times since they were young, and they can be called "knowledgeable".

Nagashima Temple, after all, is only a sub-base, in terms of the accumulation of experience in doing things, where can it be compared with the monks of Ishiyama Honganji Temple?

Therefore, after listening to the five sisters' confessions, Miss Saori immediately realized. There is a conspiracy in it.

If it was during the period of Ishiyama Honganji's involvement, she would probably have to have a psychological struggle process of "helping her mother-in-law's family or helping her mother's family".

But Nagashima Temple......

It is said that it is a family, and it has been doing its own thing outside for many years, and the tail is not big, and there is no harm in knocking and knocking.

So Saori immediately found her husband, reported the incident, and specifically pointed out that this might be the usual method of incitement of public opinion by the monks of the sect.

After hearing this, Yoshimitsu Hirate did not express his opinion at first, but pretended to be puzzled and asked tentatively: "If you explain it so clearly, aren't you afraid that it will be bad for your mother's family?" ”

Saori calmly knelt down and replied, "Stone Mountain and Long Island are separated by hundreds of miles, how can they be regarded as one?" Since it is involved in the Long Island incident, the concubine is naturally dedicated to helping you calm the chaos and rectify it. ”

Yoshimitsu Hirate asked again, "What if it's Ishiyama?" ”

Saori couldn't stand on the ground, and said calmly: "If Shishan is involved, the concubine will be appropriately protected on the premise of not affecting the overall situation of the Pingshou family." ”

Heite Yoshimitsu was satisfied when he heard this, smiled like his father, stretched out his hand to help him up, and praised: "My wife is really virtuous and helping." ”

Saori smiled lightly and replied, "It's a great honor." ”

For the first time, the two of them had the experience of harmony and deer cart together.

It's only been a few months since she came to Kyoto for a reunion, and Miss Saori has almost no grudges. Because this time is enough to see that the spoiled little princess of the Oda family is a fool, but relying on the advantage of her childhood sweetheart, she can barely get the position of a favorite concubine, and she has no threat to the name of the main room.

The reason why it is "almost" no longer resentful, rather than "completely", is because, after all, Miss Saori is still a teenage girl.

Yoshimitsu Hirate thought for a moment.

In view of the fact that his cronies were too young and lacked qualifications and prestige, he first asked Konishi Yukicho to be an envoy to Kobe Castle to find out the situation on the samurai's side and warn him not to act rashly.

Then he found Shimoma Yoritan who was returning to Nagashima from Hokuriku and happened to pass by Renkoji Temple, and ordered Iyi Toramatsu to accompany the official to suppress the monk's emotions.

This person is a very delicate person, his identity is very delicate, he belongs to the official of Nagashima Temple, but he is not an indigenous background, but an "airborne cadre" who was transferred from Ishiyama Honganji Temple ten years ago, and this position can be used.

After these two groups of people set off, Hirata Yoshimitsu remained silent, and ordered the father and daughter of the Nakano family who "appealed" to be placed well, without revealing the news, and secretly asked Hirano Gonhei and Kato Sunroku to prepare the carriages and horses, and Iwasari Kojiro and Toda Sontaro to clean up the team so that they could set off at any time.
