Tang Jing sold his ancestral family business and bought a big house with three entrances and three exits, and the Luo sisters were placed in the northwest corner of the inner house, which was guarded by Zhu Hui and Tang Jing's two nieces, and was protected by officials from the Yingtianfu Yamen.

Under Xu Ling'er's arrangement, Wen Tao came to visit the Luo sisters, his niece A Ying is half a year old, and under the care of Mrs. He, they have no worries about food and clothing in life, but Luo Amin is still thinking about Lin Feng.

When Luo Amin heard from Wen Tao's mouth that Lin Feng had indeed died in Jinjiang Bay, he immediately fainted, Ah Ping grabbed her people, and woke up her sister with tears, and under the comfort of Wen Tao and Ah Ping, Luo Amin finally accepted this reality.

Wen Tao only lived in Nanjing for one day, and then went to Ryukyu alone, and he wanted to arrange for the Ma Wu merchant group to take over Lin Feng's stronghold, so that these pirate-turned-shopkeepers could change their ways.

After Xu Ling'er completed this mission, he returned to Satsuma on a merchant ship, and after more than half a month of sailing, he met Guo Guoqiang in Jinfang Town.

At present, the whereabouts of Zhu Junwang and Xu Kun have not been found, Guo Guoqiang once went to Xiaogu City to take Xu Yihou back, but it was unsuccessful, and now, Mrs. Ashi has three daughters, but Asai Nagamasa wants a son, and he can't do without this family doctor, so he and others look at him very closely.

Xu Ling'er was very worried about her father's safety, and wanted to go to Kotani Castle again to beg Mrs. Ashi, Guo Guoqiang was not at ease, and gave her an idea, asking her to go to Kyoto to find the shogunate ministers Ueno Kiyono, Odate Haritada, and Hosokawa Fujitaka and others, maybe they can persuade Asai Nagamasa, and at the same time, ask these shogunate ministers to help transport Lu Yunlong's coffin out of Kyoto as soon as possible, so that the heroic soul can return to his hometown to rest in peace.

Xu Ling'er is no stranger to these shogunate veterans, and when she helped the general's wife escape, she had dealt with them all, so I believe they will definitely be able to help.

So, Xu Ling'er came to Kyoto with confidence, and only after inquiring did she know that because these old ministers were dissatisfied with the puppet general Ashikaga Yoshiei, they all went to Echizen to defect to Ashikaga Yoshiaki, so she rushed from Kyoto to Echizen regardless of the danger of her life, and the war was raging and scorched all over the way, at this time, how much she hoped that Wen Tao could appear......

When I inquired about Echizen, I was disappointed, it turned out that after the arrival of these important shogunate ministers, they collectively supported Yoshiaki Ri as the shogun and urged Asakura Yoshikei and Matsunaga Hide to go to war, but Asakura Yoshikei refused the request of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and others on the grounds of lack of strength.

At this time, under the planning of Akechi Mitsuhide and Monkey Hideyoshi, Ashikaga Yoshiaki got rid of Asakura Yoshikei's control and led these shogunate ministers to Futou.

When Xu Ling'er arrived outside Gifu Castle non-stop, it was September of the 11th year of Eiroku, and at this time, Oda Nobunaga had already begun to reorganize his troops and horses, preparing to personally lead an army of 60,000 to Shangluo.

Unable to get close to Gifu Castle, Xu Ling'er judged that it would not be long before Oda Nobunaga would take the shogun and those old ministers to Luo, so she returned to Kyoto.

At the end of the month, Oda's army went to Kyoto, and Matsunaga Hide, who controlled the power in the Gyeonggi area, knew that Oda Nobunaga was powerful, and he and Miyoshi Yoshitsugu decided to give up resistance, and secretly killed the puppet general Ashikaga Yoshiei, and all of them went out of the city to surrender, and since then, the Miyoshi family, who held the power of Gyeonggi, has completely collapsed.

In this way, with the support of Oda Nobunaga, Ashikaga Yoshiaki ascended to the throne of the fifteenth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.

After occupying Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga did not give the new general any freedom, but put Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the shogunate ministers under house arrest, so Xu Ling'er still had no chance.

Oda Nobunaga's wolf ambition is well known, so Ashikaga Yoshiaki proposed to let him serve as the deputy general, but he refused, after his proposal, sent Akechi Mitsuhide and Hashiba Hideyoshi to serve as Kyoto governor, his official position from the six products of the general suke, promoted to the fourth of the shogun Taibi, and played the emperor, to the shogun formulated the "palace in the palace" nine laws, and later added seven, forcing the new generation of shoguns to proclaim to the world.

At the same time, Oda Nobunaga ordered the world's daimyo Kamiro to show his submission, and after waiting for a long time, he found that no one was buying his account, so he decided to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, and first attacked Asakura Yoshikage.

The war was about to burn to Xiaogu City, and after learning the news, Xu Ling'er was so anxious that she couldn't wait any longer, so she had no choice but to ask Xianru for help in the end.

At Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Xianru warmly received Xu Ling'er, and immediately sent monks and soldiers to Kotani Castle to pick up Xu Yihou.

At this time, Asai Nagamasa was assisting Asakura Yoshikei in Echizen, and the two allied forces resisted the attack of the Oda clan's army.

Xu Ling'er had no choice but to live in Shishan Honganji Temple, during this period, Tang Jing opened a silk weaving workshop in Nanjing, and cooperated with Chen Yuanhua and others to run a family money village to help the anti-Japanese hero Elder Yuekong raise funds, hoping to cross the ocean to open up a new continent in the future, everyone is looking forward to letting Ying's soul return to his hometown and rescue his lost relatives as soon as possible.

(The origin and story of the Elder Moon Sky will be told in detail in the second volume of "Jinling Golden Dream".) ）

After waiting anxiously for a while, the situation has changed somewhat, because of the sixteen laws of the "Imperial Palace", which completely angered Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and called on the daimyo of the world to unite and defeat Oda Nobunaga, which made Xu Ling'er see hope.

As a result, forces such as Asakura Yoshikei, Asai Nagamasa, Takeda Shingen, Mori Terumoto, Miyoshi Sanshi, Hieizan Enryakuji Temple, and Saga Clan, as well as Ishiyama Honganji Temple, all responded positively and formed a "Nobunaga Siege Network".

In order to counter this seine net, Oda Nobunaga regarded Asakura Yoshikei and Asai Nagamasa as his main enemies, and the war lasted for nearly a year.

During this period, Xianru also sent people to Asai Nagamasa many times, hoping that he could send Xu Yihou to Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

Since Xu Yihou was serving as the private school teacher of the three Chacha sisters, Asai Nagamasa politely rejected Xianru's request, and said that he would do his best to protect Xu Yi in Kotani Castle, but if he had to be sent out, no one could guarantee his safety on the way.

couldn't inquire about the whereabouts of Zhu Junwang and Xu Kun, and couldn't pick up his father, Oda Nobunaga occupied Kyoto, and without the help of those shogunate ministers, he couldn't transport Lu Yunlong's coffin, so Xu Ling'er had to continue to stay in Ishiyama Honganji Temple and wait for the opportunity.

In the first year of Motogame (1570 AD, the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty), Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the combined forces of Asai Nagamasa and Asakura Yoshikei, known as the Battle of Sister River.

The three of Miyoshi sent people to the Sakai Town merchants for help with military expenses, and the current "Zhonghe" was controlled by Konishi Lonzo, and no one provided them with a penny, so they had to come to Xianru for help, and Xianru reached out to them in order to fight against the Sakai Town Zhonghe and protect the commercial interests of the Jinachi Town.

Asai Nagamasa, Asakura Yoshikei, and Hieizan Enryakuji formed an alliance of 30,000 and launched a fierce attack on Oda Nobunaga's territory from the western shore of Lake Biwa, killing the famous generals of the Oda family, Mori Kanari and Nobunaga's brother Nobuji.

Oda Nobunaga, who was fighting in Settsu Province, immediately led his men and horses to retreat from Settsu when he heard the news, and at this time, the combined forces of Asai and Asakura had already set up a formation on Mt. Hiei, preparing to meet Oda's army.

Knowing that Xianru secretly supported the Miyoshi trio, Oda Nobunaga withdrew his troops from Settsu Province, but at the same time pressed the army of Ishiyama Honganji, and asked for a huge amount of military expenses from Xianru very arrogantly.

Apparently rejected Oda Nobunaga's unreasonable demands, and began to mobilize the followers of the Ichiji sect to set off a rebellion on Ise Nagashima, and in this way, Oda Nobunaga fell into the predicament of a multi-faceted war.

The endless war continued, and suddenly one day, Asakura Yoshikage received a letter in which Oda Nobunaga wrote: He was about to ask Emperor Shokin-cho, and the whole world belonged to the Asakura family......

The naïve Asakura Yoshikei did not realize that he was serious, and immediately expressed his willingness to reconcile, giving Oda Nobunaga a rare respite.

Due to Oda Nobunaga's successive wars, military spending was extremely tight, especially in the face of the followers of the Eda sect everywhere, there was hardly any good way.

In order to get Iljong to withdraw from Gyeonggi, Oda Nobunaga shouted every day that he wanted to burn Ishiyama Honganji Temple, which made Xianru very worried, so he persuaded Xu Ling'er to take refuge in Sakai Town.

After Xu Ling'er left Ishiyama Honganji, she did not return to Sakai Town, but came to Kyoto again, hoping to contact those shogunate ministers, at least to transport Lu Yunlong's coffin out first.

A few days later, Hideyoshi the monkey suddenly came to Ishiyama Honganji, and although Xianru had a good impression of him, at this time, it was obvious that he had come as a messenger from Oda Nobunaga, so he received him without being salty or light.

The monkey was like a roundworm in Oda Nobunaga's stomach, and he knew very well the true intention of threatening Honganji, and while he met Xianru, he sang a hymn to the Buddha before he began to speak: "I have come here to discuss a major matter with the Monk Masashi of the Holo-king, although Oda Danmasa Daibi claims to believe in the Lotus sect, but his personality is violent, please do not provoke him, he can do anything." ”

"Can you still be an enemy of the Buddha?" Xianru asked in surprise.

The monkey replied very seriously, "This is exactly what I am worried about, and it is not impossible to burn Honganji!" ”

"Amitabha, if you say that others dare to be enemies of the Buddha, I don't believe it, and if you say that Nobunaga can do such a thing, I believe it, may I ask what is the good policy of the Lordship?"

At this time, the monkey showed a mysterious smile and replied reservedly: "I once had a 'divine mirror', presumably the Dharma King must know its origin, when I first got this mirror, one morning, I picked it up and took a photo, Ning Ning exclaimed on the side: look, look, there is a rising sun in the mirror; Another time, when Nobunaga invited all the retainers to eat together, I quietly took out this 'divine mirror' and took a photo, hehe, please guess what I saw in the mirror. ”

Xianru was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Nobunaga Gong replaced His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Hideyoshi pretended to be mysterious and replied in a low voice, "I vaguely saw that someone had ascended to heaven in the raging fire......

Xianru suddenly laughed out loud and asked, "So, after Nobunaga, Your Excellency is the rising sun?" ”

"Please don't talk nonsense, Nobunaga has countless generals under him, and I am just an insignificant retainer, as for the future? Who can tell. With that, the monkey took out a Buddhist shrine from his pocket and respectfully offered it to Xianru.

It was as if he was looking at the Buddha shrine of Bodhidharma, and he was very strange in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Amitabha, why did it fall into your hands again?" ”

"Please don't ask, dare to ask the Dharma King Quan Monk Zheng, how much silver is worth?"

The two got up at the same time, bowed and bowed to the Dharma Buddha shrine, and sat back on the pu mat at the same time.

"Nan no Amitabha, sin, sin, may I ask the Lord of the Priesthood, how much silver do you need?"

"Fifty thousand taels."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise it for a while."

"Hehe, 30,000 taels is fine."

"How do you solve the 20,000 taels?"

At this time, the monkey smiled slightly, shook his head but did not answer.

The next day, with the help of Lin Wenjing and others, Jinachi raised 30,000 taels of silver and handed it over to the monkeys.

Since Hideyoshi had asked for military expenses from Ishiyama Honganji, Oda Nobunaga decided to spare Xianru, and although he still shouted every day that Honganji would be burned, he secretly sent a large army to assemble on Mt. Hiei.

Mt. Hiei is a sacred mountain where the Japanese emperor took refuge, and the monks of Enryakuji Temple did not take Oda Nobunaga seriously at all.

In September of the second year of Motokame, when the 30,000-strong army of the Oda clan attacked Mt. Hiei and was about to set out, Akechi Mitsuhide stopped Oda Nobunaga and prostrated in front of his horse and begged, "My lord, don't do it!" ”

As the saying goes, a loyal minister is not a second master, and although Oda Nobunaga admires his talents, he is suspicious of his betrayal of Asakura Yoshikei.

Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide was blocking his expedition, Oda Nobunaga waved his saber and asked in a loud voice, "Bald, do you know why I want to attack Mt. Hiei?" ”

Wise Guangxiu lay on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and replied: "I don't know." ”

"Then why are you against it?"

"That is the 800-year-old holy land of Buddhism created by Master Zhicheng, if it is burned in the flames of war, we are all sinners through the ages!"

Oda Nobunaga laughed out loud and asked: "Those stinky monks in Mt. Hiei, in the name of Buddhism, are all doing the work of chickens and dogs, and Enryakuji Temple has become a place to hide filth and dirt. Is this the proper behavior of a monk? Don't you know that Wise Mitsuhide doesn't know? ”

Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to plead a few more words, but he saw Oda Nobunaga riding his horse and whipping, and he didn't even look at him again, and said loudly: "If I am counted as a sinner for the ages, I would like to be a sinner for the ages!" ”

As soon as dawn came, the army marched into Mt. Hiei, and suddenly it began to drizzle.

Under the command of Oda Nobunaga, the army began to set fire to Itamoto, Kata, and other places, while attacking landmark buildings such as the Nemoto Nakado and the Sanno Twenty-One Society.

Wen Tao just came back from Ryukyu a few days ago, and was sleeping in the meditation room at the moment, when he suddenly heard a cry outside, he quickly got up, only to see that the fire had illuminated the sky red, Buddha statues, Buddha halls were destroyed, scriptures, ancient books were burned, whether it was monks, pilgrims, civilians, **, Oda Army was killed when he saw people......

Unable to stop the evil deeds of the Oda army, Wen Tao hurriedly rushed into a Buddhist hall, stuffed the portrait of Master Cihui, the twenty-five Bodhisattvas and other famous paintings and ancient scrolls into his pocket, and then looked at the scriptures and classics that were too late to rescue, and shook his head very painfully.

Carrying a bag of picture scrolls, Wen Tao quickly ran towards the stone house, opened the prison door, and released his brother, at this time Lin Feng was already skinny and couldn't walk.

Wen Tao carried his elder brother on his back, evaded the pursuit of the Oda army, and came to the Aromatic Valley, Lin Feng lay on his brother's back, and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth......

It is the monkey Hideyoshi who guards the passage of the Aromatic Valley!

Because Hideyoshi's mother believed in Buddhism and had many restraints on her soldiers, no one participated in the arson and massacre, and suddenly, seeing a monk approaching with a person on his back, he hurriedly sent soldiers to stop them, so Wen Tao put his brother on the ground and prepared to come to explain to the soldiers.

Lin Feng looked up and saw Hideyoshi, and immediately got up from the ground, only to see his long messy hair fluttering, his long thin face with atrophied muscles, sunken eyes, a messy beard like Zhong Kui, and bursts of howls from his mouth, and he pounced towards Hideyoshi......

Hideyoshi was startled, looked at it fixedly, immediately recognized Lin Feng, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Lin Yiguan, why are you here?" ”

Lin Feng threw himself into Hideyoshi's arms, took a few breaths, and asked, "Is it that Nobunaga has already won the world?" ”

Hideyoshi sighed in response: "My mother is a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and these people destroy Buddha in front of my eyes, which is really unbearable, and it is really a sin!" ”

"If it weren't for Nobunaga's burning of Mt. Hiei, I don't know how long I would have been imprisoned, and this is providential."

"Where are you going?"

"Ningbo!"

"Mr. Konishi Lonzo will send you back to Ningbo as soon as possible. Again, sir, where should we meet next? ”

"I remember it should be in the Forbidden City of the Great Ming Jingshi!" Lin Feng said and let out a burst of laughter.

"Sure enough, extraordinary bearing!"

Lin Feng glanced around and asked angrily, "Where did that damn monk go?" ”

"I've already gone down the mountain." One soldier replied.

At this time, it was found that many people had fled to the Aromatic Valley, and Hideyoshi was worried that his actions would be exposed, so he hurriedly sent troops to stop them.
