Chapter 169: Otsu's Crisis
Now the followers of the Ichijo sect of Katata have lost the protection of Honfukuji Temple, and have suffered cruel persecution from Honganji Temple one after another, and at this time it has become a plate of scattered sand and is unable to recover, and Enryakuji has always been very taboo about the followers of the Ichijo sect, especially the believers of the Ichijo sect near the mountain gate near Mt. Hiei are even more hateful, since the old monks of the Ming sect starved to death, the monks of Mt. Hiei often went down the mountain to attack the private missionary actions of the believers of the Ishei sect, and even killed many people.
Regarding the appeal of the followers of the Katata Ichizan sect, if the current head of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple chose to ignore it, anyway, a group of people who stood in the wrong line are now completely abandoning the temple, so why do it right for this group of people and a behemoth like the Tiantai sect, so the Honganji temple has a tacit understanding to give up on them.
But the followers of the Jiantian sect are very tenacious to survive, and the disciples of the Jiantian sect do not allow them to change their faces and integrate into the local farmers, fishermen, and merchants of the Jiantian sect, this change makes this group of people more hidden and difficult to deal with, of course, the antagonism between the Tiantai sect and the Yixiang sect within the Jiantian sect is also very sharp, relatively speaking, the power of the believers of the has always been stronger, but the followers of the Tiantai sect are close to the Hiei Mountain, so they are not afraid of them.
Knowing this situation and feeling that it was still important to write about the faith, Kira immediately wrote a letter to the abbot of Mino Sofukuji Temple, Kuaikawa Shoki, to invite him over, and ordered Ninagawa to take the Cave Taizhong to rebuild a new temple on the original site of Fukuji Temple and name it Myounji, because although the original site of Honfukuji Temple was demolished a lot and Garan was destroyed, it was also a famous temple of the Omi Biwa Lake generation, and the foundation of the temple that had been in operation for hundreds of years made the temple very grand.
Even though many buildings were demolished, the foundation was not damaged, so it was easy to rebuild, so Kira Yoshitoki also issued a request to the Katada people to ask for service, this time it was the reconstruction of the Buddhist temple, so there were many people who participated in the general invitation, and more than 6,000 people in the Katata area alone took the initiative to participate in the general labor, because Omi did not lack stones and wood, so the reconstruction of the new temple is expected to cost only 2,000 kanbun, and the rest of the Garan construction only needs to be built slowly.
After receiving the letter, Kuaikawa Shaoxi immediately took a group of monks from Chongfu Temple to Omi, it turned out that the old Zen monk had long been tired of the endless struggle for power and profit in Chongfu Temple, if there was no letter from Kira Yoshitoki, Kuaikawa Shaoxi would also leave Chongfu Temple to practice outside, this time the letter written by Yoshishi Kira happened to be in line with his new idea, a new temple without the interference of the previous abbot at all, it was really good.
After hearing about the chaotic religious structure of the Katada congregation, he immediately plunged into vigorous proselytizing activities, and during the three months of rebuilding the new temple, he insisted on relying on the fate of the monks to preach in Kahita, because the fame and erudition of the monks immediately won the respect of everyone.
When Kira Yoshitoki was busy softening the will of the Kanada people to resist, Shiga Prefecture, which had always been stable, also caused trouble, and was obstructed by an external force when he inspected the land in Shiga County, and the source of this external force was Yamaoka Keiyuki, a retainer of the Rokkaku family, who had been the county representative of Shiga and Kurita until then, but since Kira Yoshitoki rose up and took away Shiga County under his control, this Jun was very dissatisfied.
Yamaoka Keino has been stable for more than a year and has not moved for more than a year, and he also wants to see the jokes of the Kira family, but as the Kira family performs miracles on the battlefield and on the field, not only does he feel panicked, but even his main family Rokkaku Yoshiken is helpless about it.
Unwilling to lose his influence on Shiga Prefecture like this, this gentleman took the opportunity of the Kira family's land inspection to use his territory in Shiga to start making trouble, saying that Kira Yoshishi was ready to apportion more onerous military service, and also raised taxes to oppress the people, in short, he shaped Kira Yoshitoki into a Zhou Peel, although his trick was clumsy, but there were really some farmers who did not know the truth were instigated by him, and Shiga seemed to have signs of trouble.
A little wind in the county was immediately perceived by Kira Yoshitoki, with the eyeliner monitoring that has been arranged for more than a year, Yamaoka Keiyuki's small movements immediately have nothing to hide, but Kira Yoshishi can't do anything about this guy, first, he can't catch it by remote control in Kurita County, and besides, this person is an important minister of the Roxagonal family, and the Kira family should not turn their faces and arrest people.
Yamaoka Keiyuki seems to be sure that the Kira family can't do anything with him, fanning the flames in the county, walking rumors, all kinds of subordinate means are really taboo, his rampant actions immediately aroused the anger of the Kira family, of course, it is hard to say how many people in Takashima County are watching the excitement, the Kira family is still trying to tame the stubborn Katata people, Miaounji Temple has just started construction not long ago, at this time, if something happens and messes up his plan, it will be troublesome.
Yamaoka Keiyuki has 20,000 stone of land in nine townships in Shiga County, all of which are concentrated in the Otsu area, that is, the anointing area where Lake Biwa and the Uji River are connected.
On the fifth day of his continuous instigation of trouble, the Kira family sent an executive officer to the place where the big trouble was made to issue a decree, telling the villagers that there were rumors that someone was plotting to walk the Kira family, and that it was to bring the Kira family into civil strife and let everyone's good life come to an end, and the Kira family never said that they would raise taxes, and the additional military service was not directed at the peasants, but some lords who escaped military service, and they were worried that the Kira family was in danger and their status was completely selfish.
As soon as the matter was revealed, a few rumor-mongers were arrested and interrogated on the spot, asking them where the news came from, when the Kira family issued an order to raise taxes on farmers and townspeople, and when they would increase their military service.
Then someone stood up and said that His Royal Highness Kira is a good person, and everyone has been taking care of His Highness Kira for a better and better year, how can His Highness Kira harm everyone? Don't listen to the rumors, let's see what His Highness Kira says before making a fuss, and be careful that some of us are ruining everyone's good days.
So the peasants who were going to make a fuss just now began to hesitate, they didn't know which side to believe, on one side was their lord and the other was the lord of the country, but many people felt that Kira Yoshishi was really good, at least the reward money was very refreshing, and the people who died in the war gave a compensation, even if the person died meritorious is still nothing, and the brother is allowed to die and the brother is allowed to inherit the merits of the father and brother who died in the war, and the son inherits the merits of the father and brother who died in the war, and the person who made meritorious service on the battlefield can be reduced or exempted from part of the annual allowance of the year, which is a real benefit.
When the army hesitated, Kira Yoshitoki sent several groups of commissioners into the townships to carry out propaganda and education, and Hosokawa Fujitaka personally came to Otsu to introduce to the farmers and townspeople here: "First of all, we must know what the land inspection does, not the apportionment of military expenses, although His Royal Highness Kira is not as rich as His Royal Highness in Kyoto, but there is no shortage of their taxes!" ”
