Master Xianru smiled bitterly and shook his head and said.
"Shiba Yiyin is not easy to deal with, but his retainers are also very powerful.
Takada Yono of Sakai Port took advantage of the greed of the Tokura manager and invested most of the copper coins in the temple into the Hokuriku Road trade route.
The Hokuriku Road's Nanari Yoriju and Shimoma Yoriteru fought and blocked the trade routes, but Shiba Yiyin was opening trade routes for me to make money. What do you want me to say?
In addition, the Nanman Sect somehow managed to break into Kyoto and caught the eye of the shogunate.
Akechi Mitsuhide wrote a letter saying that he would guard the gate of the shogunate for my Buddha and prevent the Southern Barbarians from succeeding in their conspiracy and obtain the right to preach. I was speechless with such awe-inspiring justice.
On my side, Yoritaru is still attacking her master's garrison and encircling her master's cavalry. How do you want me to reply to your letter?
You have seen it in the past few days. You know best how rampant the Nanman Cult is.
This is still underground preaching! If they get the right to preach, they might be able to cause a lot of trouble! "
Lai Lian sighed and said.
"Believers from the three villages of Ono, Nakano, and Takahira in Arima County clashed with the Nanban missionaries in Mita Town. The Nanban missionaries came to support, and many people died on both sides.
Master Miyoshi Changyi of the Miyoshi family sent someone to inform me. Tanzania is in trouble, and the Miyoshi family is busy suppressing the rebellion and has no time to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.
She doesn't care about our affairs with the Nanman Sect, but Mita Town is a transit point along the Yodogawa River, and the logistics station here cannot be implicated.
If the logistics are messed up and the supply of the Sanhao family's frontline troops is affected, the Sanhao family will not tolerate it. "
Master Xianru snorted and said.
"Wu family, oh, Wu family."
Ishiyama Honganji Temple is located at the junction of Settsu, Izumi, and Hanoi. It is extremely powerful and is not afraid of the Miyoshi family. The Sanhao family also didn't want to get involved in religious matters and cause a mess.
But this premise is that both parties are in peace.
It really delayed the military operations of the Sanhao family. The Wu family was jealous and ignored it.
Just because Xiang Zong is not afraid of the Sanhao family does not mean that he will provoke the Sanhao family and cause trouble for himself.
Master Xianru recited Namo Amitabha and then said.
"The Ashikaga Shogun of Kyoto asked me through private channels why the Hokurikudo Ichika clan raided her husband's residence."
Lai Lian thought for a while and said.
"Asking privately, the Ashikaga family probably doesn't want to conflict with my clan."
Master Xianru glanced at her and said dissatisfied.
"Ashikaga Yoshiteru doesn't want to think about it now, but if I don't explain it, she will think about it!
If the turmoil really got to the point where the shogunate formally issued an order, neither she nor I would be able to step down. This private communication also leaves room for each other. "
When it comes to what Master Xianru said, it became clear to Lai Lian that Master Xianru wanted to compromise.
Lai Lian, the subordinate, was also in a difficult position. It seemed that the superior wanted to tell her these things to give face to the expansionists.
What Yoriteru Shimoma did was not a mistake, but the result was terrible. The local temples in Hokurikudo complained fiercely, and the pressure on Ishiyama was also great.
The expansionists suffered a big loss this time, and the conservatives within the Honganji Temple will inevitably raise more questions, making it more difficult to launch the expansion that has always been unstoppable.
Lai Lian said.
"Shiba Yiyin is still very friendly to our sect, but what Yoriteru did next is indeed problematic.
But for the sake of her loyalty and consideration for Benshan, can she be given another chance?
Although Nanali Yorishu is not likeable, he has a pioneering spirit, and he has done a good job in exchange for the peace within Kaga in exchange for Noto land.
This time the two failed because they chose the wrong opponent. Shiba Yiyin was a rare man from the Wu family, he was invincible in every battle, and it was not the fault of either of them. "
Master Xianru nodded slowly.
Her subordinate Lai Lian supported her idea of compromise, and there would be no more troubles with the expansionists.
The expansionists suffered a big loss this time, and the interests of the Hokurikudo Ichikai clan in Noto Echu were definitely going to be damaged.
Xia Jian Lai Lian desperately wanted to protect Xia Jian Lai Zhao and Qili Lai Zhou, mainly due to two considerations.
On the one hand, the expansionist strategy of using external expansion has remained unchanged. If they can't even protect their own people, it would be a disguised admission that their expansion strategy was wrong.
On the other hand, Nanari Yorishu and Shimoma Yoriteru are generals within the Ichigo sect who have the ability and desire to expand externally. Regardless of whether they like them or not, the expansionists cannot cool the hearts of talented people.
Therefore, the lower class Lai Lian can cooperate with Master Xianru to quell the war in Hokuriku, and Ichigo-song can give in. However, these two people cannot move, this is her condition.
Master Xianru said.
"Although Nanato Norisu is disgusting, the current situation of Kaga is really inseparable from her, so let her continue to be Kaga's general.
But I have to warn her that Noto should let it go. Let her put more effort into getting back the territory of Xiao Zong San Temple in the area of Dasheng Temple River.
Don't be afraid that if you take back the Great Holy Temple, the small sect will be revived. Whoever gets the land back will be obeyed by the local people.
Let her behave and act with dignity.
As for Yori Teru, I can pretend that I can't hear the complaints from the leaders of the two temples in Yuezhong. I believe in you and I believe in her. Let her calm down and negotiate peace with Shiba Yiyin as soon as possible.
I will write to Yoshigan Shiba and explain that I have no intention of conflict with him on Hokurikudo. Our sect had a share in the Hokuriku Road trade route, and our sect was also a beneficiary of being able to ascend to Echu Taipei.
With my letter in front of me, Laizhao will go back to the thorn bush to plead guilty. With Sibo Yiyin's wisdom, he must know how to restrain himself and stop. "
Next, Lai Lian bowed and thanked the Dharma Master for his kindness.
The conditions of the expansionists were fully accepted by Master Xianru, Qili Laizhou and Xiajian Lai Zhao were not moved by her, and peace negotiations were put on the agenda.
On the Hokuriku Road side, neither the local Ichiko clan nor Shiba Yoshiin probably knew that the Ichiko clan had taken a stake in the Hokuriku trade route.
When Master Xianru passed this news on, he was giving both parties a ladder to step down.
Noto country can no longer be fought. Nanao Port is an important part of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
In order to stabilize the internal affairs of Nanari Noto, it is not necessary to obtain land from Noto Province. We can fight back to the Daishoji River and use the enemy of the Echizen Asakura family to rally people's hearts.
The Northern Iga sect's forces gradually conquered the smaller sect's territory. This was Master Xianru's request for Qili Laizhou.
As for Yoriteru Shimoma, he wanted to bridge the differences between the two temple leaders in Vietnam and China. This battle could not be fought.
Master Xianru told her to find Shiba Yiyin because only Shiba Yiyin was truly willing to make peace with the Yi Xiangzong.
The local Wu family in Yuezhong covets the land of the Yixiang clan in Yuezhong. Now that they have the upper hand, they will definitely tear off a piece of flesh and blood, or even eat them alive.
But Sibo Yiyin is different.
The relationship between the Shiba family and the Ichigo clan is not just about the military conflict in Hokurikudo, but also the political and economic cooperation between the upper levels of both parties.
Local friction is not what senior officials want to see. It is clear that the master is not willing to fall out with the Shiba family, and she believes that Shiba Yiyin is not willing to completely fall out with Yixiang Zong.
In this case, let's see how the imperial office can unite vertically and horizontally to reconcile the conflicts between Yixiang Zong and the local martial arts family.
It seems that the master has confidence in this young man's intelligence.
