"Master of Still Water...... It's really 'fate'! "When I saw this person, I said with some emotion and helplessness. As far as the way I do things, I personally do it on a whim, and although I don't care about it like Oda Nobunaga, I don't have any stated goals. But as my status and influence grew, many people seemed to be keen to figure out the logic of thinking from some of my actions, which is honestly a very annoying thing! Because I have to be on my guard at all times, lest something fall into the hands of others.

In terms of this matter, I let these monks escape just for a while, and seeing those precious Buddhist scriptures destroyed in the war, I thought about how much I should leave something for future generations, but I don't think this made them have all kinds of associations! I dare say that they may have discussed it many times before meeting me this time, and there may even be many "characters" who have not shown up today, and it is very likely that he represents a group of people or a group of forces, as far as I guess, it is a neutral and moderate class in traditional Buddhism. Judging from the conversation just now, they want to reach an understanding through me and Oda Nobunaga, and it would be better if they could find a gap in this powerful force! Fortunately, in the discussion I just made, I tried to find out that they also have deep contradictions with the "radicals", and they may not be able to tell who will be their "friends" in the future.

"His Highness Zhuxing doesn't care about such a trivial matter, but he doesn't dare to forget it at all! I wanted to repay him, but I had no longevity, and what I could do was to make a name for His Highness! "The still water ghost fox is an extremely sharp person, and as soon as I heard the voice, I knew that I had a certain displeasure. But he didn't rush to explain, but cleverly changed the concept in the answer. Got rid of the embarrassment and "patted" me in disguise, what a smart guy!

"I don't dare to say that I want to repay it, and fame is not a big thing, the better!" In general, they don't have any ill will towards me, and I won't pursue them too much. "It's been a while since Hieiyama was farewell, has the master been circling at Tofukuji Temple?"

"Fortunately, Master Chaoshan is sincere, otherwise I, the lost dog, would have to continue to wander the world!" When he said this, his eyes were filled with tears, as if he had some deep feeling.

"Nine times out of ten, if life is unsatisfactory, the master should look at it!" I don't know what kind of past he has, and his words of persuasion are naturally incomprehensible.

"What His Highness Zhuxing said is true, you don't have to be too depressed...... "Chaoshan Richeng's chubby face is now sunny, but the next words make me think that they have been premeditated." His Highness Zhuxing has a broad mind and has the grace to accommodate hundreds of rivers! I guess I won't turn a blind eye to your talents......"

"It's ......," I hesitated. I still don't know anything about this person, but I instinctively feel that this person must not be so simple. I've listened carefully to his accent, and I didn't realize where it belonged! At this very sensitive moment, I had to be careful.

"Your Highness Zhuxing may still have some doubts about the origin of the following...... "Seeing my concerns, the quiet water fox smiled slightly, and suddenly his voice changed abruptly, becoming a slightly sharp classical court-style voice, and it didn't sound like the kind of temporary "chaos". "The poor monk was actually born in Kyoto...... he told him about his origins, but I was really surprised by the results.

The 35-year-old monk was born in Kyoto and was the youngest son of Sanjo Koyori, the minister of the left. When Miyoshi Chokei defeated Hosokawa Harumoto to control Kyoto, Sanjo Gongyori went to the west to avoid trouble and Zhou Defense because of his relationship with Hosokawa Harumoto's son-in-law, and was warmly received by Yoshitaka Ouchi. The Sanjo family and the Ouchi family were actually friends for several generations, and Koyori's grandfather, Sanjo Kototsu, was also invited to the Ouchi family in April of the 11th year of civilization (1479). The still water ghost fox was passed to Ouchi Yoshitaka at that time, and was named Ouchi Yoshimasa after the Yuan service. On September 1, 1551, Tao Qingxian plotted against Yoshitaka Ouchi, and coincidentally was killed at the same time as Sanjo Gonglai in Yamaguchi Castle. Yoshimasa Ouchi, who had lost his asylum, had to flee Kai in a panic and go to his second sister, Mrs. Takeda Shingen, to do so.

Soon after coming to Jiafei, he worshiped as a monk under the presiding officer of Huilin Temple, Kuaichuan Shaoxi, and his law name was still water Youhu. Because of his special status, he became a diplomatic monk of the Takeda family, and began to gradually emerge in his interactions with the outside world! However, the good times did not last long, and in the ensuing battle for the inheritance of the Takeda family, his nephew Taro Yoshinobu was defeated, and Mrs. Sanjo was also imprisoned, and even the famous minister of the Takeda family, Iitomi and the military department Huchang, was ordered to be disemboweled, so naturally he couldn't spare him! Even if he was clever, he ran away before the Shiro Katsuyori faction made a move, and he ran back to Kyoto as soon as he took a hit.

is different from the past, and many of the famous families of the past have fallen! The still water ghost fox was also missing for a while, and most of the new rulers were not familiar with him, but fortunately, there was still a connection between Buddhism and the minister, so he temporarily settled in Mount Hiei, and this is why we had that encounter.

"Talent! Definitely talent! "I immediately came to this conclusion after listening to his self-introduction. This man's demeanor, tone, and speaking skills are all very good, and he is an excellent diplomat when he hears it, even if he doesn't have these, it doesn't matter, please think carefully about his social connections, the ministers of Kyoto, the religious forces, the daimyo and military generals of the eastern and western countries, what is this concept? With his help, I can connect with almost any faction of my choosing! The only thing that makes me hesitate is that his eight characters seem to be unlucky, and looking at his experience, it seems that he is messing around and relying on whom! "Since the master does not give up...... In the future, the external contact of the Zhuxing family will be entrusted! In the end, I still chose to accept him, maybe my "blessing" can suppress his "bad luck"!

"Thank you Lord for knowing the great grace of the encounter, my still water ghost fox will be repaid by life and death!" He shook his face to the ground with excitement, and when he saw that expression, he almost said, "You can be regarded as finding an organization!" ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, I have to rely on your help!" I felt that my expression and tone met the standard of a "master".

"My lord, I have one more thing I want to ask you!" A look of embarrassment suddenly rose on the face of the still water ghost fox. "I have some friends, and some poor people who have no home to go to! Now that all the families in are implementing strict land inspection, and their lives are gone, I would like to beg the lord to give them a piece of land in the territory, which is enough to cover their stomachs! ”

"Yes, who are they?" I didn't think about it, so I agreed. It's not a big deal, and no matter how small it is, it's not a problem to find a few pieces of wasteland.

The still water fox waved to the door, and the stout man came to me. "Meet His Highness Zhuxing at Shimo-Otsubo Hachiroemon!" He knelt down after he finished speaking.

"Don't be so restrained!" I stretched out my hand and asked, "How many of you are there, and what are you doing?" ”

"There are more than 70 of us, and there are more than 200 of our families!" He speaks very straightforwardly. “…… They are all honest people who work hard, and they used to open mines in Kai! ”

"Kai? Mining? "I couldn't help but be stunned and remembered something.

"They are a branch of the Kaifei Black Mountain Crowd......" may feel that Daping's speech is indistinct, and the still water ghost fox took over the conversation. In fact, it is very clear that these people were also affected by the Takeda family Lichu incident, and they had to flee from Kai, and they had to drift around because they had no base. They can be regarded as "technicians", but they don't seem to be good at farming, not to mention that they don't have land in their hands, and they are afraid that they won't be able to grow much food if they have land.

"What do you want to do?" After listening to the introduction, I asked him.

"This ......" Hachiroemon Otsubo looked at me and opened his mouth, swallowing back the words that followed.

"Just say, don't worry about anything!" I encouraged.

"Back to Your Highness! We are all honest people, we don't know how to fight and don't have the guts to kill......" Daping's black face turned purple, and saying such things in this day and age is no different from admitting that he is a coward. "We are not good at farming, and our brains are not smart enough, and we only have the strength of this body! If there is any advantage, it is only the ancestral craft of digging mountains and mining! So...... If only ......"

"But at the moment, there are no mines in my territory!" I understood the meaning of his words, looked at his disappointed expression and asked, "If you are in a mountain, can you find the water vein?" ”

"Water veins? Of course there is no problem! Despite some confusion, he nodded quickly. Water veins are often accompanied by ore veins, and if the mining site is accidentally approached here, it will cause a lot of water seepage! It is even possible to ruin the entire vein! ”

"That's good!" I am very satisfied with this answer. "I appoint you as the Ashigaru general of the Zhuxing family, 100 Kan, and lead your people to form the third reserve of the ninja army!"

"But we ......," he said, looking excited and hesitant.

"Don't worry! I'm not going to let you kill people, just make a few holes once in a while you're in the army! "I said it casually.

"Thank you for your understanding!" Seeing that I was not as difficult as a strong man, he dispelled all doubts this time.

In fact, I also have my own considerations for doing this. At this time in Japan, there are still many mountain castles, and most of these castles are "thorns" that are difficult to shave! But all the famous large mountain towns have one characteristic, that is, there must be one or even several springs in the city, otherwise the tens of millions of people who are besieged will not die of thirst? With the help of these Black Mountainegrins, I no longer have this kind of worry, as long as the water veins are cut off, the spring will dry up, and the city will not be destroyed when it falls!

Even if they deal with Pingcheng, they also have their own role, and it is not difficult to dig a few tunnels leading to the city, Yuan Shaopo Gongsun Zan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is this method! Besides, I don't have a mine today, and I may not have tomorrow, but they will bring me a steady stream of gold and silver!
