Xiaojin City was in chaos at the moment. Yiyin sent the Tongxin people to report. The Xiaojin people were overjoyed and welcomed Master Wang.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the Kogane crowd, Yoshigan did not relax his vigilance. While asking the rebels in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River to speed up the crossing of the river, he bypassed Kogane Castle and headed south, heading directly for Sagamidai.
At this moment, in the Furukawa Territory in the north, Furukawa City has been surrounded by the Northern Front Oriental Army led by Satake Yishige, but Sekijuku City is still staying out of the incident.
Sekijuku Castle is located at the node where the Tone River flows into the Edogawa River. With the help of the Kada family, rebels and military supplies from the middle reaches of the Tone River were continuously transported by water here to the Yoshibank downstream.
The villages on the west bank of the Edogawa River downstream were not idle either. Looking at the Edogawa Basin from a bird's eye view, countless military supplies were crossing eastward from the Edogawa River like ants moving, and were gathering towards Sagamidai.
Only eight days have passed since Guhe City left the city. Yiyin has already gathered a thousand men and horses under his command, and nearly ten thousand more are on the way.
After completely controlling the military situation in the rear, Yiyin finally put down its wariness against the small gold crowd and focused all its energy on integrating the resources of the rebel army in preparation for attacking the enemy forces besieging Taicheng, the national capital in the south.
The Bosou girls headed by Satomi Yoshihiro and the Southern Front troops of the Oriental Army have not yet discovered the rebels gathering at Sagamidai, and are still trying to force the Chiba family to surrender in Dai Castle, the national capital.
Sagami Terrace, Yoshiin Honjin Formation.
Yiyin looked at the old Miaoyin monk and was filled with emotion.
"Why are you here, old man? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and show me your seat."
Yiyin scolded the people around him, brought a Miaoyin Monk and sat down under him.
Monk Miaoyin thanked him profusely and said solemnly after sitting down.
"When the saint calls, how dare our brotherhood neglect it? We should gather together and send out troops."
This is the truth, but Yiyin wrote to the men of the Wu family in the brotherhood to let them blow the pillow and urge mothers, wives and daughters to send troops. He did not expect these men to kill people themselves.
Seeing the bitter look on Monk Miaoyin's face, Yiyin said in a deep voice.
"Master Miaoyin and I have known each other for many years, and this time he personally led troops to help me. This friendship is unforgettable to me.
By the way, I heard that Uesugi Kenshin has written to Kanayama Castle to finalize the marriage between Uesugi Kagetora and Kai-kun. I would like to congratulate you first. "
Miaoyin monk said excitedly.
"I can't repay the saint's kindness with my broken body. Kai-kun and his father are among the rebels who came to fight, and they also want to repay the saint's deep kindness."
Yiyin frowned.
"Why did you bring the child with you?"
Monk Miaoyin looked ashamed.
"As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public, but in front of the saint, I pulled off this old face and did not dare to hide it.
My husband can be regarded as a generation of talents, but who knows that his family is unfortunate, he is a tiger bitch, his two daughters are not up to par, he is quite considerate in daily small things, but he is completely confused when it comes to big things!
My husband went to the Imperial Palace to participate in the big review. After your letter arrived at Jinshan Castle, the two bastard daughters and the Narita family's daughter-in-law and their retainers discussed it for a day, but they couldn't come up with an accurate letter.
As a husband, I can't control the military and state affairs of their warrior Ji, but I know that without the saint, there would be no Yuliang family, so what else is there to discuss! Just send troops!
My husband was not here, and I was too lazy to care about the stupidity of the two unsatisfactory daughters, so I summoned the men in my circle to come and help.
We, the men of the Kanto martial arts family, are not weaklings with no physical strength. We can also ride horses, shoot bows and carry spears into battle! He can also kill people for the saint!
Fortunately, those little brats still had consciences, so they immediately mobilized with their men. Finally, five thousand men and horses came together and were at the disposal of the saint. Only then did I have the honor to sit down in front of you. "
Miaoyin monk took the initiative to confess in front of Yiyin because he knew that the matter could not be hidden.
After this war ends, the Kanto Palace will inevitably start a new round of internal strife.
The performance of each family in this gathering of righteousness and loyalty to the emperor will definitely become a bargaining chip for taking credit and pride in the future, or a reason for being inferior to others.
Rather than letting people find out and catch the Yura family's miserable behavior, it would be better to confess directly in front of the saint.
The children of Yuliang's family were mediocre and incompetent, and hesitated when things happened, but Yuliang Chengshige and his wife were loyal to the saint and had no second thoughts.
When Monk Miaoyin came this time, he saw the different practices of each village along the way, and knew that something big was going to happen sooner or later.
Externally, the Guandong Secretariat wants to unify the eastern parts of the eight states of Guan and devour the people in the east. Internally, we also need to unify our thinking, completely eliminate the influence of the old Guandong system, and truly rule the eight states of Guanzhou.
In the past, the Wujia Giri Promotion Association treated charity activities in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River equally, but after this incident, they must be divided into three, six, and nine grades.
The righteous village will naturally have to eat more and get more, while the hesitant and backward village will definitely have to cut aid.
As an unjust village, don't use the excuse of sending troops after spring plowing. You are not willing to eat a few mouthfuls of food or starve to death for the sake of the saint. How dare you claim to be loyal ministers and righteous men?
Monk Miaoyin calculated that about a quarter of the villages along the way had not yet been mobilized. They were all busy with spring plowing and were preparing to mobilize after spring plowing.
Their seemingly fair approach actually destined them to become unjust.
These villages are looking for death. Monk Miaoyin has already seen the bloody disaster on their bodies.
The entire middle and lower reaches of the Tone River are connected together. This year, there will inevitably be conflicts between which family delays spring plowing and reduces production, and which family continues spring plowing and produces grain as usual.
Economic issues affect the direction of policies. There is no such thing as a righteous man going hungry and an unjust man having enough to eat and drink. This provides an indispensable element of righteousness for the subsequent political settlement.
Moreover, even if it is not for food, the conflict between Yi Village and Unjust Village will gradually become fierce and unavoidable.
The reason is simple: water control.
Dayu controlled the floods and achieved the unification of the Xia Dynasty. From then on, the Celestial Dynasty formed the idea of unification that concentrated its efforts on accomplishing great things.
Since ancient times, water conservancy projects have been integrated projects, and there has been no practice of stopping at one point or another. The diversion project of the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River is a major project that will benefit the future.
Ina Chuji of the Samurai Giri Promotion Association has already prepared a plan and timetable for the entire diversion project. Originally, everyone just followed it, but the variables of Yi Village and Unjust Village happened to arise.
Waterways will not be repaired just because your village is unjust. Overall water conservancy cannot bypass certain unjust villages.
The grassroots samurai families in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River had only two choices: either to stop the diversion project and continue to suffer poverty for generations to come, or to allow the unjust village to enjoy charity assistance and participate in governance.
Why! Righteousness and unjustness are treated the same, who will be willing to be loyal to the saint in the future!
The integrity of the water conservancy project will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Yi Village. It is like pouring gasoline on dry firewood. Only one spark is enough to start a prairie fire.
Incomplete loyalty equals complete disloyalty.
The Guandong Sheriff's Office needs to clean up the grassroots villages that are not loyal enough. Yi Village needs food from Yi Village to make up for this year's shortfall. It also needs to seize the land from Yi Village to complete the overall water control project.
The top and bottom are of the same mind, and they hit it off immediately.
Monk Miaoyin is experienced and well-informed. She is sure that there will be a tragic liquidation in the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River. This is an inevitable result that is in the interest of all the righteous samurai families at the upper and lower levels.
And in this great reckoning, if you want to remain standing, you can only stay close to the saint and be close to the righteousness recognized by the saint.
That’s why Monk Miaoyin desperately exposes his family scandal. He must obtain the saint’s forgiveness in advance and not leave any further trouble.
Yiyin didn't know the fear in Monk Miaoyin's heart, let alone the far-reaching impact his action of calling in the rebels would have.
He just laughed dumbly, patted Miaoyin Monk's hand and said comfortingly.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't compete with your children and grandchildren. The truth of this saying is simple, but how many parents can be so cruel?
I am also a person with children, and I understand the worries and pain in your heart.
No matter how hopeless or ignorant your daughters are, they are still your own flesh and blood. It must be painful for you to see them making stupid mistakes, right? "
Monk Miaoyin sighed.
"Saints and saints."
Yiyin smiled.
“Actually, it’s good to be mediocre and timid.
The world has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and ambitious people have emerged one after another. What benefits have they brought?
You and I will work hard to turn this troubled world around and make the world peaceful, so that future generations can live a peaceful life.
Talented people lament that they were born at the wrong time and wish they could not show off their talents. But for most ordinary people, living in a peaceful era is the greatest happiness. "
Monk Miaoyin's eyes were slightly red, and he choked and nodded.
"The saint has a compassionate heart, but I am not as good as that."
Yiyin shook his head.
"Okay, don't worry about your children anymore.
I know about your family. Although the two children are a little confused, they are not bad-hearted and are more than conservative. With the foundation laid by your elders, it is good for them, Xiao Gui and Cao to follow.
The Yuryoshi family of Kanayama Castle and the Nagao family of Ashikaga Castle are both famous families in Kanto and have great righteousness. His Highness Uesugi and I both value them very much.
When the world is peaceful in the future, I will never forget the friendship between the Yuliang family. I will take care of your children. You don't have to worry too much. They will be fine. "
Monk Miaoyin quickly knelt down, kowtowed to the ground, and said sincerely.
"If the saints from the Liang family can treat me differently, I will die right now, and I will die with my eyes closed. I will have no regrets in this life."
