Chapter 114: Tennoji
The so-called Hakutsuru Sake Brewery is actually a brewery with a brand name called Hakutsuru, and this brewery is actually located not in Osaka City, but in Kobe City, next to Osaka.
It is no more than fifteen kilometers from the station of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. Fang Lang set his sights on the winery, naturally it would not be the White Crane Liquor Factory.
Fang Lang, who came from later generations, once visited a place called the White Crane Art Museum, which was founded in 1934 and is a very niche art museum.
Fang Lang is obviously not interested in the number of paintings in the museum, but the Chinese bronzes and porcelain, which have nothing to do with the so-called name of the museum.
Compared to the sheer number of other museums, the Hakutsuru Museum can only be considered pediatric, but it is this small and inconspicuous museum that houses these two Chinese antiques, which the Japanese call a national treasure.
When Fang Lang visited this museum, he was deeply disgusted by the brazen behavior of the Japanese, but he was helpless.
However, now that God has given me this opportunity, of course I can't let it go.
So why didn't Fang Lang go directly to the White Crane Art Museum but to the White Crane Sake Brewery?
The reason is also very simple, this Hakutsuru Museum was founded by the 7th generation of Kano Jibei of the Hakutsuru Sake Brewery, and with the defeat of Japan, the Americans were about to land and become an occupation force.
People with a bit of brains will definitely transfer these important cultural relics, Fang Lang doesn't know where Jiana Zhibei will transfer these treasures, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, someone can know.
As for why Fang Lang generously wanted to bring Colonel Malik, it was because there were not many collections in this art museum, and Fang Lang's goal was only the Chinese antiques in the middle, and as for the others to be divided with Marik, Fang Lang would not feel distressed.
Therefore, Fang Lang directly surrounded this white crane distillery factory, which is known as the No. 1 brand of sake in Japan.
When Fang Lang came to the White Crane Liquor Factory, the adjutant Qi Qingshan was already waiting at the door, and before Fang Lang got out of the car, Qi Qingshan directly greeted him and said:
"Boss, I've already interrogated, Kano Jibei is not in the distillery or at his house, he has been going to Tennoji Temple to eat fasting and chanting Buddha for more than a year."
"Eating fasting and chanting Buddha? There are still people in the Jiana family who will eat fasting and chant Buddha, what kind of jokes? ”
Not to mention whether others will eat fasting and chanting Buddha Fang Lang doesn't know, but the people of the Jiana family will eat fasting and chanting Buddha, Fang Lang really doesn't believe it.
Kano Jibei is not a very famous person, and Fang Lang doesn't know him, but Fang Lang has heard of his brother Kano Jigoro, this name is said, and anyone who knows about Japanese judo should have heard of it.
Jigoro Kano is the founder of modern judo and is known as the "father of judo".
Jigoro Kano was also very famous in Brazil, as his apprentice Mitsuyo Maeda brought judo to Brazil and took in several of the sons of his good friend Castor Gracie.
That's where Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, as it became famous, originated.
At the same time, the Jiana family is actually a member of Japan's important Kansai zaibatsu - the Jiana chaebol.
It's just that this chaebol is not very famous in later generations, so most people have not heard of it.
Qi Qingshan also said with a strange face:
"It is said that it was Kano Jibei who felt that the Japanese army had caused great harm to the Asian people, so he took the initiative to go to Japan's first Buddhist temple, Tennoji, to pray for the blessings of the Asian people."
When Fang Lang heard this, he unconsciously felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by. At this time, Japanese temples were all supportive of Japanese aggression.
There are even many monks who join the army, and many Japanese soldiers will have Japanese monks to bless them before joining the army. You said that you went to pray for the blessings of the Japanese soldiers, and you said that you were fooling the people of Asia.
Suddenly, as if a lightning bolt struck Fang Lang, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Fang Lang hurriedly spoke:
"What temple did you just say?"
Qi Qingshan heard Fang Lang's question and replied directly:
"Tennoji."
When Fang Lang heard this name, he suddenly slapped his forehead, scolded in his heart, and almost picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
Why did you forget about this famous Tennoji Temple!
"Gather everyone, surround this Tiannoji Temple for Lao Tzu, and imprison all the people, and kill them if they resist."
With a command, all personnel immediately began to assemble, and when everyone was back in the car.
Fang Lang glanced at Qi Qingshan and set off with the convoy. And Qi Qingshan took the soldiers of the guard platoon with a comprehension and returned to the White Crane Wine Factory.
When Qi Qingshan and the others caught up with the convoy, Fang Lang casually glanced at the fire rising into the sky in the distance and said nothing.
Osaka's Tennoji Temple is located at the south gate of Osaka, and later became Tennoji Park, as well as the Osaka Museum of Art and Shitennoji Temple.
There are many treasures in the temple, and there is a Sui Dynasty's Bingzi Jiaolin sword that is enshrined by the Japanese as a national treasure, saying that the sword is actually a Sui straight knife (or ring head knife) cast in a place called Jiaolin in the year of Bingzi.
The place of Tennoji is very large, and in order to blockade it, the expeditionary force almost poured out.
Fang Lang stayed at the gate of Tianwang Temple and did not enter it for the first time, but quietly waited until the temple was completely surrounded, and then waved his hand unhurriedly.
Because it was already the middle of the night, and it was pitch black all around.
The movement of the expeditionary convoy surrounding Tennoji still woke up the monks inside.
Before the soldiers of the expeditionary force stepped forward and smashed the door, two monks opened the door of the temple, and looked at the dense soldiers outside the temple, obviously frightened.
Now that the gate has been opened, what else is there to be polite, without Fang Lang's command, the soldiers began to rush inside.
The two monks who opened the door also folded their hands, ready to ask the soldiers what they were doing.
It's a pity that the soldiers didn't give them a chance to open their mouths at all, and just smashed the butt of their guns over, ignoring the shouts of the monks.
They didn't understand what they were calling anyway, and they were ordered to detain all the people inside.
Fang Lang was very satisfied with the behavior of the soldiers, because Fang Lang had watched too many movies, and the two sides had to talk cruelly for a long time or fight for a long time before doing anything in it.
He doesn't have time to talk nonsense here with these people, as if he's a villain.
Of course, in the eyes of the Japanese at this moment, he is indeed a villain, but Fang Lang himself would never feel this way.
As the embodiment of justice, how can he be regarded as a villain to charge a small interest on behalf of justice to evil?
The chaos in the monastery did not last long, as there were not many monks in the monastery at this time.
After all, during the war, Japan was short of soldiers, so how could the government allow so many adult men to continue to eat and pray in monasteries?
Fang Lang walked with square steps, cigar in his mouth, surrounded by a platoon of guards, and slowly walked into this very famous temple in Japan.
I don't know why, Fang Lang feels that at this time, it should be matched with the BGM of the God of Gamblers to appear more imposing.
Soon, Fang Lang came to the room where the monks were being held by the soldiers.
At a glance, it was found that there were only about forty monks, while there were more than twenty other personnel, including five or six Japanese girls wearing kimonos.
Seeing this situation, Fang Lang couldn't help but be happy.
Look at the Japanese translator next to me:
"What's the case, can you still stay with women in Japanese temples? Is this practicing Joy Meditation? ”
When the translator next to him heard this, Fang Lang took the initiative to ask him a question today, which was really happy from the sky!
Hurriedly said with a flattering face:
"Dear Mr. Colonel, the villain has just understood, these ladies have come to take refuge with their families, and the gentlemen and ladies hiding here are all some nobles with heads and faces in Osaka City.
If, Mr. Colonel, you would like to experience our Japanese Zen of Joy, please leave it to me, and I will persuade these noble ladies to join you in Zen meditation and enlightenment tonight.
It will be their pleasure. ”
Fang Lang didn't expect this devil translator to be so good, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder with great satisfaction:
"Shw! You're good. When I'm done dealing with the things here, I'll call them over, and I'm going to pick two beautiful ones and come over and practice the Japanese Joy Zen with me.
Now, bring me the host first. ”
The devil translator actually heard Fang Lang's praise, and was immediately overjoyed, and he bowed ninety degrees in a hurry, and said "Hi! As soon as he spoke, he turned around and grunted into the crowd.
Soon, an old monk wearing a gorgeous black monk's robe with a somewhat rickety figure walked out, Fang Lang could tell from the old age spots on his face that this presiding monk was at least seventy years old.
I saw the presiding old monk clasping his hands together and muttering to Fang Lang, but unfortunately Fang Lang couldn't speak Japanese.
However, looking at the expression of this old monk, it was obvious that he was asking Fang Lang about the purpose of their break into the temple in the middle of the night.
The devil translator was about to translate, but he was interrupted by Fang Lang waving his hand, he was not interested in listening to what this old Japanese monk said!
Now this is his territory, and he must be in charge! Only others listen to him, and when it is their turn to ask him what he is going to do.
Now that you know that it is the leader of these monks, it is enough.
Fang Lang translated directly to the devil:
"Tell this old monk that Lao Tzu doesn't have time to talk nonsense with him here. Let him take me to the treasure room in the temple, and if I say a word of nonsense, I will drag someone out and die. ”
The devil translator listened to Fang Lang's words, and his eyes jumped, he didn't expect this chief to be so simple and rude.
Hurriedly turned his head to the old monk and muttered.
The old monk's face turned pale after hearing this, and he was grunting at the translation.
After hearing this, the translator looked at Fang Langdao with some trepidation:
"Mr. Colonel, the presiding master said that this kind of behavior of your army cannot be accepted."
Fang Lang glanced at the translator and knew that this old monk definitely didn't say it so politely.
Because although Fang Lang couldn't understand what the old monk said, he also knew from the tone and body language of the old monk's speech that the old monk didn't say anything good.
