Sibo Yiyin said solemnly.
“In the matter of Noto in Vietnam, the focus is not on killing and suppressing, but on stabilizing the balance.
With your military strategy and the fierceness of the Echigo samurai family, you are enough to crush the chaos and put an end to the chaos. But if the interests of all parties cannot be balanced, there will be chaos in the future.
I'm going to talk to Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna to see if this person is greedy and worth helping her out.
In addition, I want to go to Shinsekiyama Honganji Temple, hoping to communicate with Master Xianju and prevent you and me from falling into the quagmire of being single. "
Teru Uesugi nodded.
The Shiina family and the Onjing family are both small problems. They collude with the Xiang clan to cause chaos, and the samurai family must be disgusted.
The monastery's exclusive privileges were criticized by the Wu family, not to mention the Yixiang clan who liked to make trouble, which was even more irritating.
Someone in the Wu family colludes with Xiang Zong to cause chaos, which is definitely a way to break the bottom line. If it is unpopular, it is naturally nothing to worry about.
But the Yixiang clan of Kaga and Ezhong should not be underestimated. The most troublesome thing about these nuns is that the wildfires cannot be burned out and the spring breeze blows them again.
The land in Japan is barren. In order to prepare for war, the samurai family squeezed the products to the maximum extent. The ignorant people in the countryside were starved of food and lived in despair.
Yi Xiangzong went deep into the villages and was a source of spiritual nectar for the desperate people. As long as the Wu family cannot let the people live a good life, the Yixiang Yikui incited by Yixiang Zong will never be cured.
Either kill them all, or sooner or later they will cause trouble again. But if everyone is killed, who will farm the land? Therefore, the samurai family hated the Ichigo clan, but they were still polite to Ishiyama Honganji Temple because they wanted to seek help from the Buddhist master.
For example, if Echigo wanted to send troops to combat the expansion of the Hokurikudo clan, he would also write letters to communicate with Ishiyama to prevent the problem from expanding.
War is a means, not an end. The truly powerful people start planning how to end the war before it even starts.
As for Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, the two masters also had the same attitude. Whether or not troops are sent to help depends on whether this person is reliable or not.
If this was Adou who couldn't be helped, the two of them would never foolishly fall into the quagmire. At worst, they would think of other ways to deal with the issues in Hokuriku Road.
Teruhora Uesugi nodded in approval and said.
"No problem, just go to Xinshishan. If you need to share profits with the Yixiang Sect, I am willing to share it with you.
One year after the opening of the Hokuriku Road trade route, the Hokuriku Road Ichimoku clan watched helplessly as we made money through shipping and skipped the territory they controlled.
The overland caravans were almost extinct, and the Yixiang Zong of Kaga Ezhong could not benefit from it. Of course he was radical in his actions, and he did not feel bad if the trade routes were destroyed.
As long as they stay on their own terms, at most they can be given some benefits, as long as they don't make trouble again. "
Sibo Yiyin laughed and thought it was impossible.
"Are you too confused to talk about benefits with these religious lunatics? Even if you are given benefits, who of them can keep their word?
In the dispute between large and small sects, who among the semi-independent sects can control the overall situation? Only when the beating hurts them will they know how to lie down and stop making trouble.
I contacted the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, but I was afraid that our war with the Hokurikudo Ichikō sect would anger Kōryōji.
If she encourages the believers to launch a new uprising, just wait until the Hokurikudo is on fire. There is no way we will send troops to the Kanto Plain after autumn. "
Teru Uesugi nodded, that's why.
The origins of the Hokuriku sect in Hokuriku are complex. On the Central and Eastern side, Zuisen Temple was founded by the Five Dynasty Buddhist Masters.
Renyoshangren, the eighth-generation dharma master, was the leader of the resurgence of the Ichibo sect and expanded the power of the Hokurikudo Ichibo sect in the Daishoji area.
Renru left behind three daughters in Kaga Country. Rentsuna of Matsuokaji Temple, Renshou of Kokyoji Temple, and Rengo of Honsenji Temple commanded the three temples. These three temples were the small sects ruled by the Ichibuki clan in the local area.
The area around the Daishoji River, which was conquered by the dying Asakura Sodiko, is the place where Master Rennyudo preached, and the holy land of Xiaozong Sanji Temple.
The second daughter of Renshu of Guangjiao Temple established Shengxing Temple in Yuezhong, and together with Ruiquan Temple, governed the Yixiang Sect in Yuezhong, and occupied Tobo County in western China.
After that, Sosamji Temple and Ishiyama Honganji Temple gradually drifted apart, trying to be independent, while Shengxing Temple and Zuisen Temple in Ezhong sided with Ishiyama.
Ishiyama sent monastic officials to the Kanazawa Plain in northern Kaga to establish the Oyama Gobo in order to suppress the small sects around the Daishoji Temple in southern Kaga.
The dispute between the small and large sects had a great impact. It was not until Asakura Sodiko took over the Daishoji River area that the foundation of the three small sects was destroyed and their influence was eliminated.
Kaga General General Nourishu Nanari did not want to fight back to Daishoji River, but also to prevent Xiaosong from resurrecting. Only then did she look north, and was introduced to Noto Country by the Onei family.
The internal troubles within the Hokurikudo Ichigo Sect go beyond the disputes between large and small sects, and there are also conflicts between the bureaucracy system and the local ichikai clan.
The fanatical believers who participated in the war lacked military literacy. Those who really occupied the core of the military were the village servants and wild samurai.
With the help of Yixiang Yikui, these people can avoid military and food services and occupy a place to dominate and prosper. Although he claims to be a believer, he has his own interests and may not really care about the earthly Buddhist kingdom of Yixiang Sect.
Therefore, even if Yoshigan Shiba persuaded Master Xianru of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, she would not be able to help. There is a conflict with the Hokurikudo Ichigo clan, and the battle that needs to be fought must be fought.
However, since there is no religious call from the master, the local Ichikai clan has lost its legal support, its will to resist will not be firm, and it is more likely that it will reach a compromise with Echigo.
The big sect, the small sect, the Kaga Ixiang sect, the Yuezhong Ixiang sect, and the local Yikuizhong all have inconsistent interests and their combat effectiveness is even worse.
If the political and religious concerns can be removed and they are solved purely from a military perspective, it will be completely vulnerable. This is also the goal that Yiyin hopes to achieve.
Uesugi Teruhu understood Shiba Yoshiyin's thoughts, but put forward his own requirements.
"Mr. Kenshin, other conditions can be negotiated, and we can also compromise on one or two things for the Hokurikudo Ichimura clan.
But one thing is very troublesome. All the Ichiko sect temples on the land east of the Kurobe River will be destroyed in this war, leaving no trace behind. "
Yoshigan saw Uesugi Teruhora speaking seriously and knew that this was the request of the Uesugi retainers group, so he frowned.
Shiina Yasuin was originally persuaded by his retainer Koma Tsunemitsu to betray the alliance and attack Uesugi Teruhora, in order to rely on the Echu Ichiko clan to resist Jinbo Nagashi's strategy.
Shengxing Temple and Ruiquan Temple are far to the west of China. What Shiina Kangyin can really rely on are the Yixiangzong temples in Xinchuan County, Yuanshen Temple, Ji Xing Temple, Jinchengfang, Dade Temple, etc.
The Shiina family, who were assisting in the defense of these temples, were unable to move forward at the Kadokawa line. They had no choice but to attack Matsukura Castle located in Tateyama upstream.
To the east of Kadokawa is the Katagai River, and further east is the Kurobe River.
Once the defense lines of Uozu Castle, Kanayama Castle, and Tenjinzan Castle between Kadokawa and Katagai River were attacked and fell by the Echigo army behind them. Shiina Yasuyin of Matsukura Castle is finished, and the Shiina family will also perish.
In order to eradicate the root cause, the two retainer groups, Jimbo and Uesugi, must hope to clean up the Ichiko sect temples in Sinchuan County without leaving any future troubles.
No matter how angry Ezhong Yixiang Zong was in Tonami County to the west, he could not stop the actions of the two families.
How can the land that the Wu family gained through a deadly battle tolerate these thieves and nuns to continue to act recklessly? Why not go see the Buddha as soon as possible?
