Chapter 170: Shrinkage

In a samurai society, reincarnation is above all else.

In the end, the 500-year-old genius is 500 years of ruthless years, and a few people can point to God and say that my life is up to me.

In his previous life, Yiyin, an ordinary social animal, was middle-aged, and he didn't make a name for himself in the company.

reincarnated, with the empty sign of the Spo family, which is the death of the whole family, there is still a chance to mix well.

And Suzuki Shigehide is self-taught, with nearly a few generals and iron cannon masters.

With the power of the Suzuki family, they united the people of the country and drove out the Hatakeyama family, a famous family that had dominated Kii Province for generations, which can be described as majestic.

But even so, that's the end of it. It's not like you have to be a mercenary for ten years, being sold back and forth by various families, sitting firmly in cannon fodder, and surviving from the dead.

The Miyoshi family is worried that the follow-up children and grandchildren will not be able to support the family business, and she Suzuki Shigehide dares to ensure that her family has generations of heroes and talents?

If she had that confidence, what battle would she help Miyoshi fight? What shogunate against?

It's not that I'm afraid that the Hatakeyama family will make a comeback, and my family will die sooner or later.

Even if the Hatakeyama family collapses, as long as the shogunate guardianship system is still in place, the Suzuki family is rebellious.

Any samurai who wants to occupy Kii Province can crusade against her, standing under the banner of justice of the shogunate, and there is no need to find an excuse.

is still the same sentence, the rebellion of the samurai society, the bitterness in the heart is only known to oneself. Low-level martial artists kneel without following the rules, and most of them don't end well.

Miyoshi Yoshiko's heartfelt words finally moved the always cautious Suzuki Shigehide, and made her decide to take a big gamble.

The next day, in the middle of Yamato, the Yoshiba Honjin, which continued to gallop between the spread of the army, received bad news.

"The Sakaga crowd has shrunk? So fast? ”

The third wife of Baidi stiffened his face and nodded at Yiyin.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yiyin knew it was sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. glanced at Shima Shengmeng and Yagyu Zongju, who were acting with the team, and asked the third wife of Baiji.

"Is it because we rescued the martial artist to escape, causing the Saga people to receive the news?"

The third lady shook his head and said.

"No, it's me who underestimated Shigehide Suzuki. This leader of the Zaga people is not simple, she sends ten cavalry envoys every day to contact the scattered Zaga stragglers scattered all over the place.

Our army killed for two days, and there were many people she couldn't contact before they were exposed. If it weren't for the fact that a team happened to kill an envoy, we would still be in the dark. ”

Yiyin nodded. Who will be more stupid than anyone in this troubled world, how can there be a good thing that wishes to come true, comforted.

"I don't blame you for this, it is also the norm for mercenaries to be careful in doing things, and it is not an accident."

Mercenaries are sold as cannon fodder by the samurai all year round, and those who can get out of the way are cautious loaches, and it is normal for them not to take advantage of themselves.

"So what now?"

Yoshiin looked at Niko Katsuhisa.

Niko Katsuhisa was also surprised, and said after thinking for a moment.

"Suddenly, the people of Saga were killed for three days, and about 250 people were exterminated.

The only way to do this now was to order the troops to forcibly intercept them, hoping to try to leave some before they retreated. ”

Yiyin nodded and gave the order.

But this can stop the loss, but it is not the solution to the problem.

The Zaga people are vigilant, and there is no possibility of large losses in the future. Then these 1,000 stragglers can go back at least six or seven hundred.

Combined with the strength of the Saga Party itself, the number of people will reach more than 1,100. These are wild samurai, and their number and strength are not below the wild samurai of the Iga people.

Moreover, the Iga people are short of armaments, but the Saka people are well-equipped and have many iron cannons, which is another problem.

This sudden situation made the atmosphere in this formation heavy for a while. Nizi Katsutsu thought about it for a long time, sighed and said.

"Imperial front, now I can only take one step at a time.

There should be two possibilities after the Saga congregation gathers. First, the Hui army went south. Second, stick to the waiting. No matter which one they choose, our army cannot stand idly by.

The Ten Rivers army is still in the south, and the Tsutsui family doesn't know how long they can hold out, and we can't afford to wait. ”

Yiyin nodded and said.

"Then I have to start the next step in advance.

The threat to the Northland has been eliminated by Shimahime, Yagyu Hime, and Saga, so please mobilize the samurai to assist our army and defeat the Saga people.

Grain, grass, armament, men and horses, as much as possible to raise, within three days, assembled to the county mountain castle. ”

The two Ji bowed and got high, and then went down to prepare.

The two of them must not be in time for themselves, and they still need to rely on letters, relying on the envoys of the Iga people to contact each family, and the time is short.

After they left, Yiyin said again.

"Now that the threat of the Saga people is gone, then I should also go to Kofukuji Temple to meet the Dharma Master and be relieved.

Baidi Ji, mobilized a reserve team to come over and surrounded Xingfukuji Temple. ”

Kofukuji Temple was built in the 8th century to pray for the blessings of the ancestors of the Fujiwara family. Later, it became one of the seven great temples in the ancient capital of Nara, and it was handed down to the world.

Emperor Hengmu moved north to Kyoto, and the glory of the ancient capital of Nara was not there.

The seven major temples have fallen one after another, and only Xingfukuji Temple has a chance to go against the trend. It has achieved the reputation of North Enryakuji Temple and South Kofukuji Temple.

Its temple originally belonged to the Dharma Xiang Sect, and later the confluence of various schools of Buddhism belonged to one of the mainstream Shingon Sects.

Shingon Buddhism is a school founded by the famous Japanese Kukai mage Dongdu Datang to obtain the true scriptures, also known as Dongmi.

The mainstream schools of Buddhism, although the Dharma is profound, are confined to the upper classes. Later, a heresy emerged in Buddhism called the Ichijo sect.

The Amitabha Buddha can become a Buddha with a single sentence, attracting a large number of low-level believers.

This can also be understood, compared to those great teachings of Gaoni, or go down to the countryside to work together, and recite Amitabha Buddha together, the nuns of the sect are more loved by the working public.

Religion is an anesthetic, which can make the low-level believers who have been fought endlessly by the samurai and who are in distress and cannot see the light have a thought of the afterlife.

A religion that can save the suffering and seek the next life with a word, how can a group of nuns who are willing to go down to the field and work and suffer with the believers not be able to flourish in the world.

The rise of the Zong sect has also become a thorn in the side of various mainstream Buddhisms.

Religious figures hate heresy more than paganism. After all, peers are enemies, and heretical beliefs are not tolerated.

This time the Zaga people invaded Beidahe, and added another stroke to the book of hatred between the two sides.

If it weren't for the fact that Shigehide Suzuki was still smart and did not allow his subordinates to wantonly attack Kofukuji Temple, it would inevitably trigger a violent backlash.

This war of religion will be turned upside down if it is added to several battlefields, and I don't know how to clean it up.

There is still the possibility of stop-loss negotiation in the war of the samurai, and when the war of religion is fought, it is not a heresy that dies to the light is a good heresy.

Whether it is a samurai or a nun, most of the people who die are poor low-level people. The most difficult thing to die is high, such as a general, such as a Dharma master.

Today's Kofukuji Temple, the Hosho sect has declined, and the Shingon sect sent the master to maintain it, and this Kofukuji temple master is also the head of the Shingon sect.

The main mountain of Shingon Buddhism is in Koyasan, and Wakayama Neraiji Temple is its branch, but it is a branch with some differences in doctrine, and the head of this Kofukuji Temple was sent by Koyasan.

The reason for this is complicated, and Yiyin can't figure it out. I can only sigh that religion is difficult.

This time, Yiyin transferred troops and coerced him, just to meet the lord sent by the Koyasan Shingon Sect for a while.

Whether it is the root people or the Saga people, it is a heretical cult for Kofukuji Temple.

I, Spo Yiyin, will eradicate dissidents for you, and I must hurry up and hand over the money, food, and armaments, so that I can have enough troops!"
