The Settsu strategy is a joint effort between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga, and the Miyoshi family will definitely be in trouble. Ichichumune himself insisted on going to Beijing to kill people, which angered Ashikaga Oda.
Nowadays, Master Xianru is in a dilemma when facing the Settsu strategy. He wants to ask Yiyin to mediate, but Yiyin is too lazy to wade into this muddy water.
The Shiba family withdrew from Kyoto to leave the stage to both Ashikaga and Oda.
Before Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga got mad, Yoshigami was determined to keep a low profile and never stand out.
Xiang Zong and the Shiba family were just economic partners in the Houriku Road trade route. Yiyin will not change the Shiba family's grand strategy and return to the stage early just to show off the master's plea.
Seeing Yiyin's perfunctory attitude, the master was obviously a little unhappy, so she looked at the person accompanying her at the table.
As the master of the Ichigo sect, Honganji Hiro has many things that are inconvenient to say. She is a high-ranking Dharma master, and it is difficult for her to reveal worldly disputes or stinking profits.
The man nodded slightly, took over Master Xianru's words, and bowed to Yiyin with his hands clasped together.
"Lai Lian, a poor nun, has seen Jinduo Hall."
Yiyin smiled slightly at her and nodded.
It turns out that this person is Shishan General Lai Lian, the right-hand man of Master Xian Ru, who is in charge of the specific affairs of Shishan.
Starting from the first generation of the Dharma Master, the Hajima family has been a follower of the martial arts disciples of the Yixiang Sect.
After the Ichibuki clan prospered, the Shimoma family controlled the Bōkan system and controlled the secular affairs of Honganji Temple.
Lai Lian said respectfully.
"The Dharma Master understands the difficulties in Jinduo Hall. You have become a monk and have no regard for the affairs of the shogunate.
But for this Settsu strategy, His Highness Oda came for Sakai Port, so he took the initiative to cooperate with the shogunate. It concerns everyone’s common business interests in Hokuriku Province, so please understand our concerns. "
Yiyin frowned slightly and said nothing. In the next room, Lai Lian took a careful look at Yiyin and saw that he remained calm, so he continued.
"The Oda family's territory is far away in the Nobi Plains. Even if they want to expand, they should take over the swing samurai family in North Ise and the Kitahata family in south Ise.
But His Highness Oda came all the way to Settsu Country to help the shogunate avenge their ancestors.
Don't you think this is strange? "
Yoshihiro actually couldn't figure out why Oda Nobunaga, a guy who didn't get up early for any profit, actively cooperated with Ashikaga Yoshiaki to launch the Settsu strategy.
Attacking the Miyoshi family and taking over Settsu Province would be a great thing for Ashikaga Yoshiaki to establish his reputation and expand his prestige.
But for Oda Nobunaga, the price/performance ratio is a bit low. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to the development of the Oda family to take over the wallflowers in North Ise and the Kitahata family in southern Ise, and swallow up the entire Ise Bay?
I think Lai Lian's words are reasonable, but Yiyin is hard to say.
Mihao went to Luo and killed his fiancée. Although the Miyoshi trio, who are considered by everyone to be the culprits, are dead, the stain on the Miyoshi family is not easy to wash away.
As a good husband who observed the festival for his deceased wife and became a monk to pray for blessings, how could Yoshigan question the justice of the Settsu Strategy?
Lai Lian from the lower room said while carefully observing the changes in Yiyin's expression.
“According to the information we have collected, not all the Nanman people who went to Luo died.
There is a Knight of the Nanman Order from Rhode Island who has joined the Oda family and is training lances, iron cannons and ashigaru for the Oda family. "
Yiyin's pupils shrank slightly. Xiang Zong's intelligence channels were very powerful, and he had already found out about this matter.
Oda Nobunaga showed off to Yoshiyin that she had blacks and knights donated by the southern barbarians under her command.
It turned out that the knight was not only Spanish, but also a military personnel from the Knights Hospitaller of Rhode Island, which was a bit troublesome.
The Knights Hospitaller was the first armed force in Europe to use firearms in large-scale combat. The Spanish on the Liberian Peninsula were fanatical believers in the Southern Barbarian religion.
In the military exchanges in support of the Eastern Expedition, the two sides gradually improved the new Spanish square formation.
Thinking that the Oda family has such a talent and is training the spear ashigaru and the iron gun ashigaru to fight together, Yoshigage feels his teeth are sore.
The traditional samurai's feudal system and backward mobilization methods could only recruit a small number of off-duty ashigaru, and most of the soldiers had extremely low combat effectiveness.
Oda Nobunaga held the large granary in the Nobi Plain, and while he was separating farmers and soldiers, he was training full-time ashigaru who could skillfully use iron cannons and spears to fight together. This was a real dimensionality reduction blow in the island country.
Ordinary civilians can develop good combat effectiveness by receiving training with long guns and iron cannons in as little as three months and as long as half a year.
The traditional martial arts family began to receive education at the age of three and became an official in Yuanfu at the age of fifteen. It takes at least ten years to recruit a qualified Ji warrior.
The core of the traditional martial arts military force is the Ji warriors in these reserves. The high-frequency and low-intensity fighting method between the samurai families was also because they could not afford to sacrifice too many Ji warriors.
Without the warrior Ji, no one will manage the territory, the army will have no backbone, and the traditional samurai regime will collapse.
And Oda Nobunaga wanted to bring advanced warfare methods to the island country and reuse the soldiers selected from the civilian population. Even if she only learned a little bit of it, it would be enough to sweep through the rubbish from the sixty-six countries.
Seeing Yiyin's eyes becoming serious, Lai Lian was secretly happy and said.
"His Majesty Oda decided to help the shogunate capture Settsu, and he listened to the advice of this Nanman Princess warrior in an attempt to capture Sakai Port.
Because the Oda family wanted to equip iron cannons on a large scale, it required a large amount of gunpowder and projectiles. The island nation lacks saltpeter and lead ore, and must obtain large quantities of them through Nanman trade.
Tsutaden, Sakai Port and Ishiyama are two sides of one body, creating a prosperous business in the coastal area.
Oda-dono is coming fiercely. We cannot put the safety of the Hokurikudo trade route on other people's sanity. We must take precautions. "
Lai Lian's attitude was sincere, but Yiyin knew that her words were half true and half false.
The Ichigo clan values the commercial profits of the Hokuriku Road trade route, but in fact, even if they lose this money, it will not shake the foundation of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
What really makes Master Xianru feel anxious is that once Oda Nobunaga sets his sights on Sakai Port, he will most likely not let Ishiyama go.
As Shimo Lairen said, the Sakai Port Stone Mountain is integrated.
The Miyoshi family did not want to invade Ishiyama because they did not have the strength to quarrel with the Ichigo clan. They would be satisfied if they could guard Sakai Port and set up a card to collect taxes, but Oda Nobunaga was hard to say.
The Nanman Sect is close to the Oda family, so Ishiyama Honganji will not be able to get through easily. Today, they can encourage Oda Nobunaga to take Sakai Port, and tomorrow they can induce the Oda family to attack Ishiyama.
The location of Shishan is really important.
In ancient times, the emperor's court had Namba Kyo located here. The reason why Shishan is called Shishan is because when the Honganji Temple was built, many ancient stone foundations were dug out and used as building materials.
Yiyin thought for a while and said.
“Even if the Oda family gets the management rights of Sakai Port, the shogunate will not allow the Oda family to do whatever they want.
Ishiyama Honganji Temple is the front line for Buddhist sects to resist Nanbanism. The Kyoto sects will not just watch the Oda family dig up this wall.
Isn't it that Guizong is a little too worried? "
Lai Lian shook his head and said.
"The situation at Tsutaden and Sakai Port is more complicated. Since ancient times, this place has been a hub for internal and external trade.
The foreign trade of the island country is from Hakata Port in Kyushu, disembarks at Sakai Port through the Seto Inland Sea, and is imported to Konka.
Originally, this route only had goods from China, Korea, and Ryukyu. Over the years, the southern barbarians came to trade and brought their heresies with them.
The great names of Kyushu have been blinded by commercial interests and corrupted by heresy and heresy. And Sakai Port is the next target of the Nanman Sect.
There are few people in the Wu family who are proficient in business. Over the years, Sakai Port has been maintained by ten members of the Sakai Association.
The ten most powerful merchant houses jointly manage Sakai Port, and the samurai lords who occupy this place can enjoy tariffs without any effort.
Sen no Rikyu is the leader of the ten people. It is said that the Sen family has noble blood and has a close relationship with the famous shogunate family in Kyoto.
Imai Munehisa followed Mr. Takada Haruno of the Shiba family. Tsuda Muneki followed the three Miyoshi who died. Konishi Lonzo, who disappeared last year, was a devout believer in the Nanman Cult.
These big businessmen monopolized the food, armaments, and medicinal materials on the Sakai Port market and had very great influence.
Relying on the huge profits from Nanman trade, the Nanman Sect has bribed a small number of merchants in Sakai Port and lured them to convert.
Once the Oda family enters Sakai Port, even if the shogunate intends to maintain order, there is no guarantee that someone will have evil intentions and deliberately cause trouble.
I am afraid that by that time, an emergency will occur in Sakai Port that damages the Hokuriku Road trade route, affecting the interests of all of us, so I implore Tsutado-don to pay attention to this matter. "
Yiyin looked at his subordinate Lai Lian talking endlessly, but he sneered in his heart, and the official left half of his words unanswered.
The market in Sakai Port is divided into financial and cargo.
During times of war, the most in-demand materials are food, ordnance, and medicinal materials. These are military supplies, and they are indeed in the hands of the ten members of the Sakai Huizhong Nawu.
But in terms of finance, it is the monastic forces that take the lion's share.
In ancient times, finance was not complicated. The main thing at Sakai Port was to transfer money and earth warehouses. The former is to make money by taking advantage of the exchange price difference of gold, silver and copper, while the latter is simply to collect money with compound interest.
Imai Munehisa's business involved ferrying money back and forth between the Celestial Islands, earning some hard money for exchanging copper coins.
The Buddhist nuns in the temple like to make quick money the most. Going out nine times and returning thirteen times is considered a low interest rate for a Bodhisattva. Who dares not to pay back the money owed to the temple?
The Ichigo sect is the strongest sect in the area. When the Hokuriku Trading Road was established, Takada Yono defrauded people from the earthen warehouses of these temples. . No, I borrowed the first pot of gold.
At this moment, the subordinate Lai Lian was pretending to be a pitiful little white rabbit in front of Yiyin, as if the Nanman people in Sakai Port were taking advantage of the additional conditions of trade to instigate the merchants to cause trouble and deliberately suppress Ichigo Zong.
No matter how bad the Nanman people are, it is still trade in kind, and the goods can be seen and touched. Unlike the great Bodhisattva who lends money in the temple, he is really a white wolf with empty hands, and he has forced many families to die.
If only the Buddha girls were a little more relaxed, the Nanman Sect would not expand so fast.
The characteristic of the Nanman religion is that church members help and love each other, which is in line with the character of the islanders who stick together to survive.
When the power of the temple makes it difficult for people to survive, entire villages of stupid people will turn around and throw themselves into the arms of the Nanman Cult, seeking refuge.
The trivial matter between the Yixiang Sect and the Nanman Sect seems to be a dispute of faith, but it turns out to be a conflict of interest. Blocking people's way of wealth is like killing your parents.
At this moment, Lai Lian was bursting into tears in front of Yiyin, accusing the Nanman Cult of having bad intentions. How could she have the nerve to say it out loud?
The Buddhist ladies are greedy and excessive. Instead of reflecting on how much they have deceived others, they blame the people for being ignorant and being deceived by paganism. They are really thick-skinned.
But speaking of this, Oda Nobunaga's ambitions for Sakai Port did cause Yoshigan's concerns.
Because of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Yoshigami has always been disgusted with the Miyoshi family, and the Miyoshi family is also wary of the Shiba family.
But this does not prevent the two parties from forming a joint venture and using the Hokuriku Road trade route to make money. What hatred can be more important than real money?
Even if Yoshigan Shiba and Yoshitsugu Miyoshi want to fight each other, the samurai group below, who are busy reaping benefits, will try their best to persuade them to make peace the most important thing.
Originally, Yoshigami's idea was very simple. Even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga reached out through the Settsu Strategy, it would just be a matter of putting two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
If the Miyoshi family doesn't use it themselves, then just eat a few less bites and leave the extra portion to the Ashikaga and Oda families.
With the mature Hokuriku Road trade route profit sharing system and the huge amount of free benefits, would the Ashikaga and Oda families be willing to part with it?
But now seeing Xiang Zong looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Yiyin was a little unsure.
Religious matters are never intellectual matters. Faith is an inexhaustible gold mine, and it is a vital benefit for life and death. Yixiang Zong will not compromise on the issue of faith just because of huge business profits.
If the religious powder keg built up by the Nanman Sect and the Yixiang Sect for many years was really exploded by Oda Nobunaga, the Hokuriku Road trade route would be in trouble.
Sakai Port is the source of the Houriku Road trade route, and there must be no problems here.
Yiyin just spent a lot of money at Shiba's house. He needs the Shiba Chu Fund to continue to infuse blood, and this is inseparable from the prosperity of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
If there was a problem with the Hokuriku Road trade route, Yoshion would be worried about death. The Sibo Zhong Fund can't make any money, so how can he use it to distribute annuity dividends and maintain the stability of Sibo's family?
The Ishiyama Honganji Temple next to Sakai Port has always been an important force in maintaining the stability of the Hokuriku Road trade route. On the one hand, they are looking at the Sakai Port Miyoshi Checkpoint, and on the other hand, they are suppressing the Hokurikudo Ichimukai clan.
Xianru asked his subordinate Lai Lian to come forward and talk about this, and he already begged Yiyin for help with a stern look on his face. It's a matter of self-interest, so Yiyin really can't say no.
He thought for a while and said.
"The Sanhao family has gone against the grain and must pay the price for the evil deeds that were rampant in Shangluo before.
But the people of Sakai Port are innocent, and we cannot just watch the innocent townspeople suffer from the military disaster. "
Seeing that Yiyin finally let go, he looked like a master saying "Namo Amitabha", showing a look of mourning for the people.
"Jundoden is so compassionate and compassionate, and I admire you so much. Jodo Shinshu is willing to help you and protect our peace."
Yiyin smiled.
"The trouble will not reach the point where the Dharma Master needs to take action. The shogunate still has loyal ministers who are sensible.
There is some misunderstanding between Jodo Shinshu and the shogunate. I will write to inform the new shogunate leader, His Highness Hatakeyama Takamasa. Ask her to speak out for Jodo Shinshu in the shogunate review and safeguard the reputation of the noble sect. "
