Chapter 181: Fierce Revenge (Second Update!) Four thousand chapters begging for subscription! )
After more than half a year of training and rich nutritional supplements, Kira's marksmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and now he can fight with Watanabe Gengoro, who has been trained since childhood, although he is more than half a head taller than Watanabe Gengoro and a year older......
On the teaching field, Yoshitoki Kira was confronting Gengoro Watanabe, their clothes were soaked with sweat, counting the round of fighting that had just ended, this battle had lasted for thirty years, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, this was also a result worth boasting about, but these two were different from those ordinary samurai, and they were not lacking in natural abilities and opportunities, and being able to fight this was also the result of receiving hellish training.
"That's it! Stop! Mitsuhide and Watanabe Takatsuna shouted at the same time, so that the two sweaty children relaxed.
"Gengoro's strength is not small! My hands are still numb! ”
"Your Excellency...... Please look at the hand below. Gengoro Watanabe tried to raise his weak hands and said with a wry smile: "I gritted my teeth and insisted just now, if my father hadn't stopped in time, I wouldn't have been able to hold on!" ”
"Huh! My family is a little older than you, and I definitely didn't have your level a year ago! "You have to be modest, a year ago he didn't know how to shoot, and of course he didn't have this level and he didn't lie.
The two marksmanship instructors discussed it and announced, "That's all for today's practice!" Tomorrow to continue! Kira threw the spear into the weapon rack and returned to the castle tower to bathe in the fragrant soup that had been prepared in the castle tower.
"This is the first chess piece of my family's subordinates, and it's time to officially announce it now! All that's left is time to ferment! Kira Yoshitoki gradually narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Early in the morning of the second day. Just woke up. A resident of Sakamoto who is preparing for a day's work. I saw notices of the Kira family posted on the shadow walls everywhere, and the construction of the castle town will be gradually stopped within 20 days, and it will be gradually demolished within three months, and the reason is only a vague explanation that the planning is too big and affects Enryakuji Temple.
This time the townspeople don't do it.,The rumors of the past few days have not been believed, everyone thinks that Sakamoto is the territory of the Kira family.,Why don't you let the new town be built.,But the truth is really so paradoxical.,The townspeople full of anger and puzzlement surrounded the Omi samurai who guarded the notice and asked.。 Faced with the questioning of the elders of their hometown, these people could only vaguely say that Enryakuji thought that encroaching on Sakamoto Shinmachi violated their privileges, so the lord of the Tendai Throne issued a decree ordering the castle town to stop immediately.
This incident caused confusion and indignation among the townspeople, and even the privilege of the guardian envoy of the seat merchant was abolished by the lord, why did the temple still hold on to the privilege and did not let go, and was it not good to establish a prosperous town? The townspeople did not understand that because the followers of the Tendai sect were gradually eroded by Myounji, the influence of Myounji Temple in Shiga County increased significantly, and Enryakuji Temple, which did not have the support of basic believers, was naturally isolated by the people of Sakamoto.
Of course, there are still die-hards in the Tiantai sect. Although they were not satisfied with Enryakuji Temple's approach, they still had to resolutely support the decree of the Tendai Lord. The town soon became polarized and confrontational, and it was not uncommon to see a dozen Tendai sect followers verbally fighting hundreds of Myoshinji sect followers.
The result of being outnumbered is that the followers of the Tiantai Sect always lose and lose, and cynicism and bitterness are always indispensable, and some radical believers of the Tiantai Sect use force to intimidate the believers of the Miaoxin Temple faction with force, and even threaten the mountain master to come down the mountain to kill the believers of the Miaoxin Temple.
This irresponsible remark did not help to solve the problem, but instead caused a huge commotion in the town, and the unscrupulous followers of the Tendai sect were attacked by clods of earth and rubble, and the followers of the Tendai sect in the town could only run away, and the reputation of Enryakuji in Sakamoto town also completely collapsed with this run.
After Kira Yoshitoki's high-profile announcement of the complete cancellation of the expansion plan, there was a surge in quarrels and civil lawsuits, followed by the further announcement of the abolition of the new town and the gradual relocation of all residents within two months, and the ulterior motive of announcing that the castle town built at the beginning of this year would also be planned, which meant that most of Sakamoto would be demolished.
Many people are angry at this time, and the homeless people who have lived in tents outside the city and have been starving and freezing for several months are angry, and the new townspeople who have just moved in for half a year in the town are even more angry. Half a year of comfortable life has made the residents of Shinmachi more yearning for the future, and now that all the new towns have been demolished with a decree, where will they live? If you don't have a place to live, you just sleep on the streets, what is the difference between this and those who are engaged in lowly labor?
The construction of Sakamoto Town, the construction of Katata Town, and the construction of Otsu Town were stopped, and all the general servants were reorganized on the spot and nominally became demolition teams, seeing that this posture was completely about to be demolished, and this time all the people in Shiga County from top to bottom turned upside down, and the agitated townspeople began to besiege the monks of the Tiantai sect in Sakamoto Town, and all the properties belonging to Enryakuji Temple were destroyed.
There were even more radicals, who held high the banner of a battle to the death against Enryakuji Temple, and the slogan of defending their homeland was proposed, and the situation was far worse than Hieiyama expected, and there was a momentum of rapid transformation all the way.
At the beginning of the autumn harvest in August, the farmers were busy harvesting grain, and more than 10,000 people were asked to levy labor to make Omi's autumn harvest appear a short-term labor shortage, but fortunately, there were still tens of thousands of new townspeople living in tents, and they all brought their own dry food to the Kira family's new town, and it was not easy to survive these months, and now seeing that the new town was far away, these people had to face the food crisis, so they went to the fields to help the autumn harvest, and the price was to have enough to eat.
After many days of fermentation, the truth of the Ichitsu Sect riot suddenly came out in Sakamoto and Katata, and it was several followers of the Tiantai Sect who devised a conspiracy to incite and instigate the followers of the Ichitsu Sect to kill the believers of Myoyun Temple, and these people also pointed out by name that several well-known believers of the Tendai Sect in Katata Town were the masterminds.
These people are indeed followers of the Tiantai sect, and they all have a deep relationship with the monks on Mt. Hiei, in fact, they were the main force sent by Enryakuji Temple to develop believers, but they didn't want to be implicated in this incident, the samurai of the Kira family immediately went to Tsurota to arrest these people, and they also turned their faces and ran away without pleading, and fled to Mt. Hiei for refuge without defense or explanation.
This time, Omi public opinion was in an uproar again, since the followers of the Tsuyo sect returned to Katata one after another. Small-scale dissemination of the truth about the events of the Zong riots has emerged. It's just like the news that the construction of a new town was stopped before many people didn't believe it. This news is also regarded as a rumor by most people, of course, the previous one is indeed true, and this time it is indeed a rumor......
These spineless guys ran away directly, which was tantamount to the fact that they were plotting to incite and frame the believers of the sect, and their stupid actions immediately caused a violent reaction, many Myaounji believers ran to Kira Yoshishi to sue the illegal disciples of Enryakuji Temple for persecuting the believers, and some simply ran to the shogunate in Kyoto to sue the emperor.
Even Hattori Masaaki didn't expect it to go so well, and those idiots weren't scared at all. Even bluffing and deceiving were frightened by the six gods without a master, and then a little persuasion and inducement a few words and ran back to the Enryaku Temple overnight for refuge, they didn't plan to run out of things like this, the original thing that didn't have a score became a thief's heart, if there is no ghost in your heart, what do you run? Isn't running away because you're afraid that the problem is too big for you to bear?
The eyes of the masses are always bright, the mountain mages of Mount Hiei have been doing evil in the province for hundreds of years, and the bad things they have done are simply too many to mention, and in the past, the mountain mages bullied people, but this time they blatantly harmed the local natives of Omi, and they didn't take them seriously.
Angry peasants swarmed into the soil. Attack the nearby Tiantai Sect temple leader and kill dozens of mountain mages who protect the village. And captured several manors in one fell swoop, Enryakuji Temple's reaction was a little hesitant, it seemed that they had not yet figured out the direction of the evolution of this event, and when they reacted, the earth was already in the climate, and the mountain mage did not dare to go down the mountain to clash with it.
With this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Kira Yoshitoki did not be polite to this group of liposuction monks, and first appeased the angry Tuichi army, saying that the Kira family resolutely defended the rights of the people from being violated, and the accumulated sins committed by the monks of Enryakuji Temple would definitely give the people a justice and persuade Tuichi to go back first.
At the same time, the commissioner was dispatched to conduct a hasty investigation, and after the news of the careful treatment came from the Kyoto Imperial Court and the shogunate, he announced the decision not to deal with the lack of evidence, which caused dissatisfaction among many townspeople, and this dissatisfied voice also walked out along with the orders of the Kyoto Imperial Court and the shogunate.
The people feel that the Kira family, who has always been very serious, will simply retreat this time It is also related to Mt. Hiei, and the imperial court and shogunate in Kyoto are forced by the pressure of Enryakuji Temple to dare not insert it, and the toiling public's brain replenishment ability is very strong, and I immediately thought of the tradition of the mountain master carrying the mountain king god to complain, and this time there is no need for Kira Yoshitoki to come forward, he can watch the fire from the other side with peace of mind.
Enryakuji Temple, which has not reacted, seems to be still watching the fire from the other side, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with the retreat of the imperial court, the shogunate, and the Kira family, and they are completely calm and careless looking at this brewing storm like watching a play, and they will never understand that all this is just foreshadowing.
At the beginning of September, a group of townspeople came to sue the followers of the Tiantai sect for illegal things during the turmoil of the sect, and some people even said that the monks of the Tiantai sect had appeared in Jiantian, and what was the reason for the monks of the Tiantai sect to appear in Jiantian? The monks of the Tiantai sect take care of the temple property in Jiantian, and it is a tradition to preach and preach, so is it strange to appear in Jiantian? The monks of Enryakuji Temple didn't take these townspeople seriously at all.
But what happened next didn't seem right, and then more townspeople came forward to testify in the same way, and new theories were created that the monks of the Tendai sect played a huge role behind it, which didn't really say much, but only made the emotions of the townspeople more intense.
A few days later, a new wave of evidence appeared, this time the evidence showed that Enryakuji Temple persecuted the disciples of the Sect of important evidence, first of all, in the first year of astronomy, after Honfukuji Temple was issued the third breaking order by Honganji, Honfukuji became a de facto empty shell of the light pole, in addition to Mingzong and his son Ming Oath, only Mi Xian's eldest son Mi Oath and a few die-hard old monks still stick to the dilapidated Honfukuji Temple.
With the issuance of the order to break the door, Honganji sent people to demolish the Garan of Hongfukuji Temple, and locked up Meizong and others for persecution, but it didn't take long for Honganji to be severely damaged by Hoke Ichichi and the strong suppression of Nichiren disciples, so that Honganji began to withdraw from Hongfukuji Temple.
In the years that followed, the Honfukuji Meimune, the Ming Oath father and son, and the old monks relied on some leftovers from the followers of the Ichijoji sect, but their days did not last long, and the disciples of the Tendai sect of Enryakuji began to descend the mountain to attack the disciples of the Isseō sect in Tsunitta, and found the group of Ichijo monks under house arrest in the temple.
Then a new round of persecution began, the disciples of Enryakuji Temple often came down the mountain to kill those who dared to bring them food, and occasionally humiliated and persecuted the monks of the Honfukuji Temple, and finally swore that they were forced to escape from the Honfukuji Temple to take refuge in the Kaga Ichinjong Sect, and Mingzong and several old monks chose to continue to hold on, until the ninth year of the Heavens, the disciples of the Honfukuji Sect did not go to deliver food for many days, and when they secretly went to the Honfukuji Temple one night to check, the Honfukuji Mingzong and several old monks had passed away.
This is also the reason why it has been rumored that Mingzong was starved to death in Jiantian for more than ten years, and the person who overturned the case was a believer who went to the scene to bury Mingzong of Honfukuji Temple, and learned from them that several old monks such as Mingzong of Honfukuji Temple had been skinny, and the wild vegetables, grass roots and bark around the temple were eaten by them, and it was said that there were some residues of grass roots left in a broken clay pot.
This incident not only caused the anger of the disciples of the Tsuyoshi sect who participated, but even the neutral Nichiren sect and the disciples of the Rinzai sect began to sympathize with these old monks, although the doctrines were different and hostile to each other, but people always sympathized with the weak, especially when they heard that the old monks had such a miserable experience, they were even more indignant, whether it was for the riots of the Tsujizong sect or the denunciation of the atrocities of Enryakuji Temple, which made the tide of opposition to Enryakuji Temple also began to rise.
The monks of Enryakuji Temple seemed to wake up from a dream at this time, and sent people to post notices stating that the followers of the Tiantai sect had nothing to do with the riots of the sect, and severely reprimanded the spreading of rumors as a sin, and the groundless accusation of Enryakuji Temple was a great sin, and called on the followers of the Tiantai sect to resist this wave.
Speaking of which, the Enryakuji temple notices still played a certain role, and most of the townspeople were all ordinary people after all, and most of the townspeople shrank back immediately after being frightened by this, but more townspeople expressed great anger, and the arrogance of Enryakuji Temple was revealed in this notice, and all the notices in the town were torn down before the next day.
The monk had to post a new notice, this second time did not even pass a day, it was ripped off in the afternoon, the mountain master of Mt. Hiei grabbed the townspeople who pulled the notice to be severely punished, which caused a fierce conflict in Sakamoto Town, hundreds of unarmed townspeople besieged the mountain mage, the outnumbered monk Naginata was furious, forgetting the restraint of the head of the monk before coming, grabbed the naginata and slashed and killed dozens of people.
A few minutes after the bloody incident, the Kira army moved to kill the stubborn Nagito monk on the spot, and all the monks of Mt. Hiei who participated in the bloody case did not have the opportunity to protest, and all the monks outside the town were executed in the evening of the same day, and at the same time, Kira Yoshitoki's edict was issued that the towns of Shiga and Takashima counties prohibited the monks of Enryakuji Temple from entering the town.
This move completely angered Mt. Hiei, but the Kira family was not afraid of his anger, and Mt. Hiei was in the front even if it made trouble to the imperial court, and he didn't say that he wouldn't clean it up, and if he wanted to carry the mountain king and the gods to make trouble, it would depend on whether the Kira family would give him a chance, and this time he would complete the thorough purge of the followers of the Tiantai sect in the county, and in the future, Mt. Hiei would no longer be able to infiltrate the Kira domain. (To be continued......)
