Nagashima Yuanzheng Temple.
Since Zhenghui of Yuanzheng Temple took away almost all the monks and soldiers in the temple, basically only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in the temple.
Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of troops, even though Lianchun of Yuanzheng Temple was personally in charge, Yuanzheng Temple was finally defeated after holding on for a day.
Stepping into the main hall of Yuanzheng Temple, seven or eight monks in bright robes are being guarded here, including Lianchun of Yuanzheng Temple.
Renjun of the Wanjoji Temple was indeed a character. Faced with such a situation, he was able to remain calm even in the face of danger. He knelt down and recited Buddhist sutras, as if the ashigaru beside him did not exist.
"This must be Master Lianchun, right?"
"I have admired you for a long time, please come to Kyogoku Sakyo!" Kyogoku Takamasa walked slowly to Renjun of Wonjoji Temple and sat down, then straightened his back and said seriously.
Yuan Zhengji Lianchun held the rosary in his hand for a moment, and then slowly raised his head, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Haha, it is indeed the famous Yasha Saburo Kyogoku Sakyo Susumu! He gave up his support officer Benji-gun and used it as a bait to lure my Wonjoji Temple troops, and then went straight to Nagashima!"
"My son did not lose unjustly!"
"Master Lianchun is very thoughtful!" Kyogoku Takamasa clasped his hands on his chest and continued: "Now that Master Lianchun has become a prisoner of the family, I wonder if there is anything else you want to say?"
Yuan Jingji Renjun glanced at Kyogoku Takamasa quietly, and then stopped talking, obviously not wanting to answer Kyogoku Takamasa's question.
Kyogoku Takamasa patiently continued to ask: "Master Lianchun, I respect you as a generation of eminent monks, that's why I talk to you so kindly!"
"If you are willing to persuade Ise's Xiang Yikui to lay down his weapons, I can make the decision to let you live. What do you think of Master Lianchun's wishes?"
"Sakyo is a smart man when he enters the palace, why do you need to do all this useless work here?"
"So, Master Lianchun is unwilling?"
"If so, don't blame me!"
"What do you want?"
"It's already getting late, so the Wonjoji Temple in the fire must be particularly beautiful, right?" Kyogoku Takamasa raised his eyebrows and looked at Wonjoji Temple Renjun with a smile.
Upon hearing what Kyogoku Gaomasa said, Yuanzhengji Renchun couldn't calm down anymore. Do you really want to burn Yuanzhengji?
"You dare!"
"Haha, even the Sanshina Honganji Temple, the main branch of the Xiangzong sect, was burned down. Why wouldn't I dare to do it with a mere Nagashima Enjoji Temple?"
"If you do this, you will become an enemy of the entire Yixiang Sect. You must think clearly about the consequences!" Yuanzheng Temple Lian Chun said through gritted teeth.
Kyogoku Takamasa shrugged and said disapprovingly: "Isn't it possible that I am not an enemy of the Ichigo clan now?"
"You have always unscrupulously stirred up trouble in Omi and Ise with the intention of overthrowing our clan. Today, it seems that it is not an exaggeration for me to set a fire in this Yuanzheng Temple, right?"
"However, if Master Lianchun is willing to change his mind, maybe..."
"You're dreaming!"
"So, there's nothing to talk about?"
Kyogoku Takamasa immediately stood up, and then said loudly: "Taimamori, Hakimori, you two quickly lead our Ashigaru team to pile fuel everywhere in the temple, and set the temple on fire in half an hour!"
"Ha!" Nomura Mototaka and Ohnoki Kunishige quickly took the order.
Kyogoku Takamasa turned around and glanced at Renshun of Yuanzhengji Temple, "Since Master Renshun is stubborn, let's see with your own eyes that Yuanzhengji Temple that you built with your own hands turns to ashes!"
After saying that, Kyogoku Takamasa walked out of the palace directly.
The monk soldiers in the temple have been emptied. Except for the captured monks, they are all ashigaru members of the Kyogoku family and the Mino people.
After Kyogoku Takamasa's order was issued, Inaba Yoshimitsu and others quickly took the Ashigaru out of the temple and ran to the river south of Wanjoji Temple to camp.
Onoki Kunishige and Nomura Mototaka also led the ashigaru to pile up wood and fodder everywhere in an orderly manner.
A few quarters of an hour later, Onoki Kunishige panted and ran to Kyogoku Takamasa's side: "My lord, everything is ready!"
"ignition!"
"ha!"
Soon, an ashigaru raised the torch in his hand, and then fires began to burn everywhere in Wanzheng Temple.
Kyogoku Takamasa was determined to burn Wonjoji Temple, so he had people pile up a large amount of fuel everywhere in the temple. In an instant, the entire Wonjoji Temple was enveloped in fire.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Kyogoku Takamasa also quickly called for the troops in the temple to withdraw.
For a time, only a few monks including Lianchun of Yuanzheng Temple were left in the entire Yuanzheng Temple.
Yuan Zheng Temple Lian Chun staggered open the door of the main hall, and when he saw the surrounding Yuan Zheng Temple that had been reduced to a sea of fire, he burst into tears.
This is Yuanzheng Temple Lianshun's lifelong effort, and it will be reduced to ruins in an instant.
How could Yuanzhengji Lianchun accept it?
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Yuanzhengji Lianchun's mouth. Yuanzhengji Lianchun covered his heart and slowly fell to the ground.
Behind him, two monks hurriedly stepped forward to support Yuan Zheng Temple Lianchun, but Yuan Zheng Temple Lianchun was motionless.
One of the monks reached out to check Yuan Zhengji Lianchun's breath, and found that Yuan Zhengji Lianchun was no longer breathing, and he immediately burst into tears.
"Woo woo woo, Master Lianchun has...already..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Instantly, the monks present burst into tears.
Yuan Zheng Temple Lianchun was so angry that he was so angry that he died...
.........
It was late at night, but the fire at Yuanzheng Temple was still not extinguished.
Standing outside the main formation, looking at the blazing fire in the direction of Yuanzheng Temple, Kyogoku Takamasa was in a particularly good mood.
After solving the hidden danger of Nagashima Wanjoji Temple, the Kyogoku family's territory in Ise can be completely stabilized.
Moreover, Renshun of Enjoji Temple has been running Nagashima Enjoji Temple for many years. Nagashima Enjoji Temple has accumulated a lot of territory over the years. The Kuwana County where Nagashima Enjoji Temple is located also has a stone height of 40,000 koku. Added together with Genbenji County, Kyogoku The family's territory in Ise will exceed one hundred thousand koku.
The strength of the Kyogoku family will reach another level!
Inaba Yoshimitsu and others were also very excited. The Nagashima Wanjoji Temple that had troubled Owari, Ise, Mino and other places for many years was reduced to ashes in the hands of himself and others. In the words of later generations, this was enough for them to brag about for a lifetime. Got it!
"Sakyo enters the palace and takes over Wanzhengji Temple. The rest of the Ichikui people won't have anything to worry about!"
"I believe that the followers of the Ujie Sect will definitely collapse when they see Wonjoji Temple reduced to ashes, right?" Ujiie Naomoto said with a smile on his face.
After Ujie Naomoto finished speaking, Fuwa Koji also said: "If we can annihilate Nagashima Enjoji Temple in one fell swoop this time, then the Ise and Mino countries will no longer be troubled by the Ichiko clan. This is a great good thing!"
"It's really a worthwhile trip to be able to join Sakyo in the palace and join the battle this time!"
Gaozheng Jingji quickly waved his hand and said modestly: "Without your help, how could we be where we are today?"
"You guys have a good rest tonight, there is still a fierce battle waiting for us tomorrow!"
"If Yuanzheng Temple is destroyed, although the disciples will collapse, I am afraid that the monk soldiers under Zhenghui of Yuanzheng Temple will fight to the death. This battle is not so easy to win!"
"Don't worry when Sakyo enters the palace. It's just a few monk soldiers. Am I, Inaba Ryomichi, still afraid?"
"Yes! As long as I'm waiting for you, what's the use of mere monk soldiers?"
After the burning of Nagashima Yuanzheng Temple, the confidence of the Meinong people increased greatly. As they talked and laughed, it seemed that the monks and soldiers of Nagashima Yuanzheng Temple were already a group of dead people!
