Chapter 776: Summoning Zhang Xianzhong
Now the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom are divided into two groups and are preparing to start the second decisive battle between the Eastern and Western armies, but Li You feels that if it is just the daimyo and the samurai, it will be a bit monotonous, so he plans to introduce a new force to the chaotic Wa State. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Wa Kingdom was a hierarchical society, with the emperor as the nominal chief, the shogunate in charge of the world, the daimyo obeyed the shogunate's orders to control their own territories, and the samurai depended on the daimyo and used their military power to be loyal to the daimyo to obtain a fortune, and exercised the power of life and death over the commoners, as the lowest commoners could only endure the oppression and exploitation of these high-level classes.
But this does not mean that they will not resist, just like the peasant uprisings in the Central Plains one after another, there is also a tradition of rebellion against the rulers in the Wa State, this tradition is called "Yiyu" in another proper noun in the Wa State, which generally refers to the common people, indigenous people, local forces and other non-governmental organizations for some goals and groups assembled, usually in the harvest season, or the people suffering from the exploitation of usury will launch a rebellion to demand the cancellation of the annual tribute, or the German government decree demanding the invalidity of the loan contract.
There are also many kinds of "one hand", and the struggle of the peasants is called "soil one hand"; In a certain territory, the rebellion initiated by the powerful countrymen (samurai) is called "kokuichi", of course, there are also riots initiated in the name of religion, just like the White Lotus sect often causes turmoil in the Central Plains, and the Wa country also has the same habit of causing chaos, that is, the Ichijo sect developed from the Pure Land Shinshu Honganji sect, the so-called "Ichijo Tsuki" is an armed uprising launched by the believers of the Pure Land Shinshu Honganji sect with the participation and participation of the peasants, including the participation and leadership of temple monks and countrymen. Its goal is to seize local power.
After Honganji Temple was opened by the 1st Hoji himself, under the personal preaching of the 8th Hoji Renjo, the Iljangsu sect began to enter the lives of the people on a large scale, inciting the followers of various places to launch the "Ichijo Tsuba" to oppose the local rule of the local guardians in various places, in an attempt to establish a Buddhist religious state.
Because these believers have a strong religious centripetal force, when they are about to fight, they sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy regardless of life and death, usually causing great damage to the armies of the daimyo in various places, and before the Wa Kingdom was in the Warring States period, the daimyo in various places fought endlessly, and some of the weak daimyo were not even as powerful as Honganji, so "always one smash" came and went, and when they were at their most beautiful, they also surrounded Kaga Takao Castle with 100,000 to 200,000 troops to protect the Tomigashi Masako, and broke it, and Masato himself was killed, so far, Kaga One country has completely become" The "Ownerless Country" is governed by a powerful representative of the countrymen and the abbots of the monasteries who are small and medium-sized landlords.
This continuous "one has always been one" finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the daimyo in various places, until the end of the Warring States period, Oda Nobunaga launched a full-scale attack on Honganji, the eleventh generation of Honganji Hosa immediately called on all the religious people in the world to resist Oda Nobunaga, this war lasted for ten years, and finally ended in the defeat of Honganji, Oda Nobunaga set fire to Ishiyama Honganji Temple to prevent future troubles.
However, the Ichijo sect did not die out because of this, and after the death of Oda Nobunaga and the Honnoji Rebellion, the head of the sect had a good relationship with the ruling Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and with the support of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he rebuilt the Honganji Temple in Kyoto.
If you want to make the Wa Kingdom more chaotic, then you have to use those clean peasants who have been exploited, and Yixiangzong, who still fantasizes about establishing an earthly Buddhist state, these things are not suitable for anyone in the Zheng Jiajun to do, but Li You's tiger talisman has a general who is extremely good at commanding peasants to fight - Zhang Xianzhong.
In such a troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong is definitely not a simple character, even if he is left in the current Wa Kingdom, as long as the communication problem is solved, he will definitely be able to live, maybe he can make a career, and add a fire to the already chaotic Wa State situation.
After thinking about it, Li You summoned Zhang Xianzhong in his military tent, only to see a white light flash, and a man with a thin body and a slightly yellow face, one foot and six inches appeared in front of Li You, he looked around and then arched his hand with a big grin, "It's Zhang Xianzhong, you call it to do it!" ”
"Eight kings, please take a seat!" Li You was not unhappy because of this, the wine and meat had already been prepared in the tent, and he said while letting Zhang Xianzhong enjoy it, "This time I bothered the eight kings, but I wanted the eight kings to return to their old business!" Lead the exiles who can't survive to kill those who are officials, I wonder if the Eight Kings are interested? ”
"We like to kill those who are officials." Zhang Xianzhong wiped his mouth and said, "But I said in advance, these things can be done, but I don't like to be assigned, and I don't want anyone to say that I kill too many people, if you don't care about it, you can do it, if you want to let you act according to your ideas, then it's better to stay here and drink wine and eat meat." ”
"Haha, the eight kings are too worried, even if you kill hard, I don't care." This is not the Ming Dynasty, the more Zhang Xianzhong kills, the happier Li You is, "But this place is not the Central Plains, I'm afraid the eight kings are not familiar with the situation, I will first find someone to tell the eight kings about the local situation, teach the eight kings to speak local words, and then the eight kings can act." ”
"It's easy to say, since you don't care about me." Zhang Xianzhong responded, "No matter where it is, as long as there are dog officials who force the people to live, we will be able to make a name for ourselves." ”
"At present, the various daimyo of the Wa Kingdom are fighting endlessly, in order to raise military rations and gather enough troops, the people have long been tossed and miserable, and there are some sects similar to the White Lotus Sect acting secretly, and the situation of the entire Wa Kingdom is like a straw pile under the scorching sun, just a small spark can cause a skyrocketing fire." Now the life of the people of the Japanese Kingdom is probably not much worse than that of the Central Plains at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Xianzhong should be useful here.
Immediately, Li You found some people from Zheng Jiajun who were proficient in the Japanese dialect and familiar with the form of the Japanese State to train Zhang Xianzhong, and these people would also become Zhang Xianzhong's starting team, and follow him to make the Japanese Kingdom dark.
Just when everything was ready for the Eastern Army and Tokugawa Hidetada led the army to Osaka, Zhang Xianzhong was also ready to disappear from Li You's military camp with these Zheng Jiajun's men, and perhaps the Wa Kingdom would be completely chaotic soon after.
