Seeing that Oda Nobunaga was so happy, Higen was suspicious.

The samurai are cunning and rarely have good people, and the daimyo is the best among them.

What is this Oda Nobunaga plotting?

Rixuan came to ask for someone this time, so naturally it was not good to show a suspicious attitude casually, so as not to cause misunderstanding, so he could only say euphemistically.

"The eastern and western ends of Owari Province, Mikawa Ise and the two countries, are all places that have always been arrogant.

In particular, after the Venerable Master succeeded to the throne, Honganji had issued a decree to make Mikawa launch a fierce and unusually ferocious attack.

Your Highness's kindness, I and other Nichiren sect believers are grateful to Dade.

But if you want to enter our way, I am afraid that there will be no room for the Ichijo sect, and the followers of the Ichijo sect of the two countries will do unkind things to Owari. ”

Oda Nobunaga was a little impatient, and this nun was just timid and afraid.

She was about to get angry when she suddenly heard something and became interested.

"What did you just say? Three rivers are going to erupt all the time? ”

Rixuan was stunned for a moment, the focus of what she just said was not this.

But when she saw Oda Nobunaga's eyes lock on her, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded.

"Back to Your Highness, this is indeed the case."

Oda Nobunaga smiled meaningfully.

Matsudaira Motoyasu was preparing for war in Nishimikawa, and after spring ploughing, he was to send troops to Higashimikawa to fight for the unification of Mikawa country.

Although at the time of the Kiyosu alliance, Oda Nobunaga swore to her dear sister Takechiyo.

From now on, my sister and I will go west, sister you will go east, and you and my sisters will divide the world equally.

But in her heart, she is still afraid of Matsudaira Motoyasu.

The warriors of Mikawahime are famous, and if Matsudaira Motoyasu really unifies Mikawa Province, he will also become the lord of a country.

Then, Oda Nobunaga, who originally had a political advantage, will no longer be a head taller, which she cannot tolerate.

Although the covenant between the two parties was on an equal footing, it was only a stopgap measure.

If she wants to suppress Matsudaira Motoyasu's position in the alliance step by step, she must be in an absolute advantage in strength.

Until the Oda family has mastered the two countries of Owari Mino, it is better for Matsudaira Motoyasu's power not to grow.

And Mikawa has always been a surprise for Oda Nobunaga.

She didn't need to think about any small actions behind her, she just silently watched Matsudaira Motoyasu be caught off guard by Ichizong when she was fighting.

You can even make some preparations in advance, and when Matsudaira Motoyasu asks for help, in the name of help, further put forward conditions to suppress her position in the covenant and make the Matsudaira family more dependent on the Oda family.

Seeing Oda Nobunaga smiling, Higen was silent in thought, and said tentatively.

"Your Highness Oda, but where did I say it wrong?"

Oda Nobunaga was in a good mood, and it was even more pleasing to the nun who saw that this brought her a lot of benefits and good news.

She was rarely so good that she opened her mouth to explain.

"Master Rixuan, don't worry, you didn't say anything wrong.

Please also believe in my sincerity, my belief in the heart of the Nichiren sect is indeed sincere.

Owari is rich, but it also requires merchants to come and go, and craftsmen need to work hard to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

In today's troubled times, since the Miyoshi family invaded the Yamato Buddha Kingdom, the situation that the samurai sect did not want to do anything was broken, and all factions were looking for backers.

The Tiantai sect looked for the shogunate, the old faction of the Shingon sect relied on the humble faith of the Spo family, and the new faction had roots to support the public, and the sect had the roots to win over the low-level Ji samurai, in a vain attempt to rely on the hegemony of the sect.

Master Rigen, you Nichiren Sect just sit and wait for death?

At the beginning, the Tiantai sect ignored the fact that both factions were the same as the Lotus Sutra, cut off your Kyoto foundation, and knocked your Nichiren sect into the abyss.

Now the Sect is oppressing people with power, frantically persecuting the followers of the Nichiren Sect, in a vain attempt to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

You, the Nichiren Sect, can you only run around like wild dogs, and don't you hate it in your heart? ”

Venerable Rigen recited the Nam Mu Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra with his hands folded and closed his eyes to listen.

Oda Nobunaga looked at her with a smile, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already containing Vajra's anger.

"Your Highness really wants to enter the Nichiren Sect?"

"See if you can do my thing."

"I, Honnoji Nitgen, swear to the Nichiren Mandala deity that I will fulfill my wish for His Highness.

If you don't believe in your words, you are willing to go to the eighteen layers of hell and never be reborn. ”

The corners of Oda Nobunaga's mouth curled up and said.

"From this day forward, I, Oda Nobunaga, believe in the Nichiren sect and would like to be a devout believer."

Rixuan exhaled and said.

"Your Highness has entered the Tao, and I will give Your Highness a legal name."

"Not necessarily."

Rixuan looked at her in surprise and didn't understand what she meant.

Oda Nobunaga lazily raised his head and replied.

"I will provide shelter for you and other Nichiren sect believers, and I will also take revenge for you.

I, Oda Nobunaga, don't need a Dharma name, I will let the gods and Buddhas know with my actions.

I walk the talk and do what I say. ”

Ri Xuan listened to her deviant remarks, and he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong.

In the end, she decided to block everything and bowed.

"May Your Highness prosper in martial arts."

Only when martial arts are prosperous can we shelter and take revenge.

Oda Nobunaga looked at the obedient Honnoji Higen and couldn't help laughing.

Nichiren Sect endured it for decades, but after all, it was the hatred that could not be eliminated and fell into my favor.

Samurai who aspire to the world need to seek supporters in religion.

The samurai family is too violent, and the war needs to squeeze more resources, and as the troubled times deepen, the suffering of the people at the bottom has just begun.

Religion turns to the samurai to protect the sect, and the samurai need religion to appease the grassroots, and each is looking for a suitable collaborator.

And Oda Nobunaga, who was bent on wooing industry and commerce, met the Nichiren sect, who was cornered, and the two sides hit it off.

Since then, Oda Nobunaga has had a religious footing.

It also received the support of a large number of Nichiren sect merchants and craftsmen, and took another step closer to the ambition of the people of the world.

———

Echichu, Toyama Castle Castle Tower.

Under the leadership of Spo Yoshigin, the imperial platform, the two governors of the Kami-shimi Jibo finally decided to work together.

The Mission's cavalry repaired overnight and replenished their military supplies with the help of the Jimboo family, while Yoshigin Spo and Uesugi Terutora were invited into the castle tower to discuss the next steps.

The main seat was left to Yoshiin Spo, and the chief of the jinpo and the Uesugi Terutora sat on the left and right, accompanied by Kojima Zhizhen.

Kojima's smile never subsided, and his cheeks were sour, but he couldn't help it.

The success of the Upper Shirt Jimbo Alliance, she made a big effort, and the political opponent, Terashima Jobada, was slashed by the subordinates of the Imperial Observatory again, and the Shrine Protector didn't see it.

The old leader led by Kojima can take this opportunity to overwhelm the new leader who has lost its leader, at least before the new leader of the new leader of the new leader appears, and take advantage of it.

And her initiative to get closer made Yiyin willing to elevate her in order to elevate the power of the pro-shirt faction in the Shenbao family and ensure the stability of the alliance between the two sides.

Therefore, she is qualified to participate in this tripartite high-level review. After a brief greeting, we got to the point.

The chief priest asked.

"How are Imperial Terraces and Uesugi going to go to Echigo?"

Uesugi Huihu glanced at Yiyin, saw that he kowtowed slightly, and did not hide it, and said.

"Delayed by Yasuyin Shiina, the spring plowing season has almost passed, and there should be twists and turns in Echigo's country.

She made a big move, but there was no reaction from there, thinking that the situation was not good.

The detour by sea is protracted and cannot be delayed, so it is best to kill Xinchuan County and return to China as soon as possible. ”

The Divine Protection Chief frowned slightly and said.

"The spring ploughing of the Jimbo family is coming to an end, and I can mobilize my military forces to cross the Shiraiwa River and persecute Matsukura Castle in Kadokawa.

But with the three cities of Uozu watching, I can't move forward, and then I need the two highnesses to break through on their own. ”

Yiyin nodded.

"As long as His Royal Highness Jimbo can attract the attention of the Shiina family, more than two hundred of our elite Ji warriors will bring enough for three days, enough to break through the empty defense line of Shinkawa County."

Uesugi agreed.

"The next dangerous pass is only unknown to the relatives and children of the border between Vietnam and China, and the coast at the end of the cliff where the Hida Mountains enter the sea is thirty miles long.

Shiina Yasuyin is not strong enough to control there, and after crossing this coast, it is my Echigo realm.

His Royal Highness Shenbao, how many days will it take for the family to mobilize? The situation in Echigo is uncertain, so it is better for us to start as soon as possible. ”

The priest replied.

"It will take three to five days for the reserve troops in various places to complete the mobilization, and I can lead the standing army across the Baiyan River first, and then attack tomorrow.

However, it was necessary to issue an edict from the Imperial Observatory stating that Yasuyin Shiina attacked Genji in Kawachi and deprived the guardian generation.

Along the way, the Shiina retainers must have panicked, and even assisted me in marching into the besieged Kadokawa Castles. ”

Uesugi Terutora and Spo Yoshiyin glanced at each other, and the Shenbao chief position was indeed powerful.

Even if there is the power of the imperial decree, the Shiina retainers will not defect so quickly, it must be that the chief of the gods has already begun to dig into the corners of the Shiina family.

Now that she has a righteous reputation, those Shiina retainers who have been rebelled against can finally vote for her without any scruples, which is really easy to calculate.

Uesugi Terutora said.

"This is very good, as long as His Royal Highness Jimbo traps most of the Shiina family's troops, my cavalry is in a hurry, and I can return to Echigo as soon as possible.

Just a few days after the spring planting, the domestic situation should not be too bad. ”

The Divine Protection Chief shook his head.

"Not necessarily, the two highnesses can know the Takeda family governor Qingxin."

Yiyin narrowed his eyes, why did the Divine Protection Elder mention her at this time? I felt bad in my heart.

Uesugi Terutora also frowned and muttered.

"Kai Country Guardian, Takeda Harunobu, what did she do?"
