Chapter 181 Four thousand chapters of fierce revenge
On the Nimaru training ground, the "whooshing" sound of the gun club was heard from time to time along with the dull impact. After more than half a year of training and rich nutritional supplements, Kira Yoshitoki's spear skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
Gengoro Watanabe, who was undergoing training, could win or lose, even though he was more than half a head taller than Gengoro Watanabe and one year older...
On the training ground, Kira Yoshishi was confronting Gengoro Watanabe. Their clothes were soaked with sweat. Counting the round of fighting that just ended, this battle had lasted for thirty rounds. At the age of fifteen or sixteen,
It is also an achievement worthy of boasting, but these two people are different from those ordinary samurai. They have no shortage of talents, abilities and opportunities. Being able to achieve this position is also the result of hell-like training.
"Okay! Stop!" Yunlinin Mitsuhide and Watanabe Takatsuna shouted at the same time, allowing the two sweaty children to relax.
"Gengoro's strength is not small! My hands are still numb!"
"Mr. Master...please look at my hands." Watanabe Gengoro tried his best to raise his weak hands and said with a wry smile: "I just gritted my teeth and persisted. If my father hadn't stopped in time, I wouldn't have been able to hold on anymore!"
"Haha! I'm just a little older than you. A year ago, I was definitely not at your level!" You have to be humble when you should be humble. A year ago, he didn't know how to shoot, and of course he didn't have this level.
It's not that he told lies.
The two spearmanship instructors discussed it and announced: "That's it for today's practice! We will continue tomorrow!" Kira Yoshishi threw the spear into the weapon rack and returned to the castle tower to bathe in the fragrant soup that had been prepared.
"This is the first chess piece of my subordinates, and it's time to make the official announcement! All that's left is to let time ferment!" Kira Yoshitsune gradually narrowed his eyes and fell into thought.
In the early morning of the next day, the residents of Sakamoto Town, who had just woken up and prepared for a day of work, saw notices from the Kira family posted on the screen walls everywhere. The construction of the castle town would be gradually stopped within 20 days, and it would be gradually demolished within three months. The reason was:
A vague explanation was given that the plan would have too great an impact on Enryakuji Temple.
This time, the townspeople gave up. No one believed the rumors in the past few days. Everyone thought that Sakamoto was the territory of the Kira family, so why not let them build a new town? But the fact is really so paradoxical, and the townspeople were full of anger and confusion.
The Omi samurai who lived and guarded the notice asked. Faced with the questioning of the elders in their hometown, these people could only vaguely say that Enryakuji Temple believed that the infringement of Sakamoto Shinmachi was infringing on their privileges, so the Tendai lord issued a decree ordering the castle town to stop immediately.
This incident aroused confusion and indignation among the townspeople. Even the privilege of guardianship of the zashou was revoked by the lord. Why did the temple still hold on to the privilege and refused to let it go? Isn't it good to build a prosperous town? The townspeople did not understand.
Because the followers of the Tendai Sect were gradually eroded by Myounji, the influence of Myounji in Shiga County increased significantly. Enryakuji, which did not have the support of basic believers, was naturally isolated by the people of Sakamoto Town.
Of course, there are still die-hard Tendai sects. Although they are not satisfied with the practices of Enryakuji Temple, the decree of the Tendai sect leader must be firmly supported. The town soon became polarized, and more than a dozen Tendai sects could often be seen.
The scene of believers engaging in verbal battles with hundreds of Myoshinji followers.
The result of being outnumbered is that the Tiantai Sect believers always lose battle after battle, and sarcasm and sarcasm are always indispensable. When some radical Tiantai Sect believers cannot argue with the opponent, they use force to intimidate the Miaoxin Temple believers, and even threaten to The master came down from the mountain to kill the believers of Miaoxin Temple.
This kind of irresponsible remarks did not help solve the problem. Instead, there was a huge commotion in the town. The Tendai Sect believers who spoke out loud were attacked by clods and gravel. The Tendai Sect believers in the town could only flee in panic. The town's reputation also completely collapsed with this escape.
Following Yoshitoki Kira's high-profile announcement of the complete cancellation of the expansion plan, quarrels and civil lawsuits surged. He then further announced the abolition of the new town merge, and all residents must move out gradually within two months. At the same time, he also announced with ulterior motives that the new town merger would be canceled at the beginning of this year. The castle town to be built is also planned, which means that most of Sakamoto will be demolished.
Many people stopped working now. The refugees who had lived in tents outside the city and suffered from hunger and cold for several months were very angry. The new residents of the town who had just moved in for half a year were even more angry. As the proverb goes: From frugality to luxury, it is easy to change from extravagance to extravagance. It is difficult to live a frugal life. After half a year of comfortable life, the residents of Shinmachi are even more yearning for the future. Now, with a single decree, Shinmachi is completely demolished. Where can they live? They have no place to live, so they sleep on the streets. What is the difference between this and those Heyuan people who work as menial labor?
The construction of Sakamoto Town was stopped, the construction of Katada Town was stopped, and the construction of Otsu Town was stopped. All the general laborers were reorganized on the spot and nominally became demolition teams. It seems that this posture is completely a large-scale demolition. This time, Shiga Prefecture's top officials Then everything was in turmoil, and the excited townspeople began to besiege the Tendai monks in Sakamoto Town, destroying all the properties belonging to Enryaku Temple.
There were even more radical people who held high the banner of Yikui and wanted to fight to the death with Enryaku-ji Temple. The slogan of defending their homeland was raised. The situation was far worse than Mount Hiei expected, and the momentum of the situation took a turn for the worse.
The autumn harvest began in August, and farmers were busy harvesting grain. More than 10,000 people were asked for labor, which caused a temporary labor shortage in Omi's autumn harvest. Fortunately, there were tens of thousands of new town residents living in tents, and they all brought their own dry food. It has not been easy for Shinmachi to join the Kira family in the past few months. Now seeing that Shinmachi is far away, these people have to face the food crisis, so they go to the fields to help with the autumn harvest, at the cost of having enough to eat.
After many days of fermentation, the truth about the riots of the Ichijo Sect suddenly came out in Sakamoto and Kenda. It was a conspiracy and instigation by several followers of the Tiantai Sect to instigate the Ichijo Sect followers to kill Miaoyun Temple believers, and these people also named them. pointed out that several well-known Tendai sect believers in Kanda Town were the main culprits.
These people are indeed believers of the Tendai Sect, and they all have a deep relationship with the monks on Mount Hiei. In fact, they are the main force sent by Enryaku Temple to develop believers, but they do not want to be implicated in this incident. Go, the samurai of the Kira family immediately went to Katada to arrest these people, and they turned around and ran away very spinelessly, fleeing to Mount Hiei for refuge without any defense or explanation.
This time, public opinion in Omi was once again in an uproar. Ever since the Ichibuki clan believers returned to Kanda one after another, the truth about the small-scale riots of the Ichibō clan has emerged. But just like the previous news that the construction of a new town was stopped, many people did not believe it. This time the news also It is regarded as a rumor by most people. Of course, the previous one is indeed true, and this time it is indeed a rumor...
These spineless guys simply ran away, which was tantamount to confirming the fact that they were conspiring to incite and frame the followers of the Ichijo sect. Their foolish actions immediately aroused violent reactions. Many Miaoun Temple believers came to Kiragi to sue Enryaku Temple for illegal acts. The disciples persecuted the believers, and some even went to the shogunate in Kyoto to file a complaint.
Even Hattori Masakiyoshi didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Those idiots didn't scare them at all. They were frightened by both bluffs and deceptions. After a few words of persuasion, they ran back to Enryakuji Temple to take refuge overnight. They planned to I didn't expect that something would happen just by running away, and what was originally an unreasonable thing would become a guilty conscience. If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why would you run? Isn't running away just because you are afraid that the problem is too big and you can't handle it?
The eyes of the public are always sharp. The mountain masters of Mount Hiei have been doing evil in the Kinai for hundreds of years, and the bad things they have done are too numerous to mention. In the past, the mountain masters only bullied people, but this time they blatantly harmed the Omi locals, which is too much. Don't pay attention to these mud-legged people anymore.
The angry farmers formed a swarm and attacked the nearby Tiantai sect leader, killing dozens of mountain masters who were protecting the village. They also captured several manors in one fell swoop. Enryaku Temple's response was hesitant and seemed to be unclear. The direction of the evolution of this incident, by the time they reacted, Tu Yikui had already become a problem, and Master Shan did not dare to go down the mountain to conflict with it.
Given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Kira Yoshitsune was not polite to these monks who were suctioning fat and marrow. He first appeased the angry Toichi Kuijun, saying that the Kira family resolutely safeguarded the rights of the people and that the monks of Enryaku Temple committed crimes. The people will definitely be given justice for their numerous sins and Tu Yikui will be persuaded to go back first.
At the same time, an official was dispatched to conduct a hasty investigation. After the Kyoto court and the shogunate received news that they would treat it with caution, they announced the decision not to process the evidence due to insufficient evidence. This aroused the dissatisfaction of many town residents. This dissatisfied voice also followed the Kyoto court and the shogunate. The shogunate ordered them to walk out together.
The people all felt that the Kira family, who had always been very serious about their work, simply retreated this time because of Mount Hiei. Also, the court and shogunate in Kyoto did not dare to intervene due to the pressure from Enryakuji Temple. The hardworking people His brainstorming ability is very strong, and he suddenly thought of the tradition of Master Shan carrying the Sanno Shrine to complain. Now there was no need for Kira Yoshiki to come forward, and he could watch the fire from the other side with peace of mind.
Enryakuji, who had been unresponsive, seemed to be watching the fire from the other side. They didn't think there was anything wrong with the retreat of the court, shogunate, and Kira family. They looked at the brewing storm calmly and nonchalantly as if they were watching a play. They would never I don't understand that all this is just foreshadowing.
In early September, a group of townspeople came to accuse the Tiantai Sect believers of illegal activities during the riots of the Xiangzong Sect. Some people even said that the Tiantai Sect monks had appeared in Jiantian. What was the reason for the Tiantai Sect monks to appear in Jiantian? The Tiantai Sect monks took care of the temple property and preached in Jiantian. Preaching is a tradition, is it strange to appear in Kenda? The monks at Enryakuji Temple didn't take these townspeople seriously at all.
But what happened next didn't seem right. Then more townspeople came forward to testify in the same way, and new theories emerged, saying that the monks of the Tiantai Sect played a huge role behind the scenes. This actually doesn't explain much. It just made the emotions of the townspeople even more intense.
A few days later, a new wave of evidence appeared. This time, the evidence showed important evidence that Enryakuji Temple persecuted the disciples of the Ichijo sect. First, in the first year of Tenmon, after Honfukuji Temple was ordered to break down for the third time by Honganji Temple, Honfukuji Temple was ordered to break down for the third time. Fukuji Temple has become an empty shell in fact. Apart from Mingzong and his son Mingshu, only Minxian's eldest son Minshu and a few die-hard old monks still stick to the dilapidated Benfuji Temple.
Following the issuance of the demolition order, Honganji Temple sent people to dismantle the Garan of Honganfukuji Temple, and imprisoned Meizong and others for persecution. However, it was not long before Honganji Temple was severely damaged by the Lotus Ichiku, and Nichiren disciples raised their heads. The strong suppression caused Honganji Temple to begin to withdraw from Hongfukuji Temple.
In the following years, Honfuku-ji Temple's Meizong, Meisho's father and son, and the old monks relied on some leftovers sent by some followers of the Yixiang sect to survive, but their lives did not last long. The Tendai sect of Enryaku-ji Temple The disciples began to go down the mountain to attack the disciples of the Ixiang Sect in Katada, and discovered the group of Ixiang Sect monks who were under house arrest in Honfuku Temple.
Then a new round of persecution began. The disciples of Enryaku Temple often came down to beat to death those who dared to deliver food to them. They occasionally humiliated and persecuted the monks of the Ichigo sect. In the end, Mingshu was forced to escape from Honfuku Temple and go to Japan. He Yi Xiang Zong took refuge, but Ming Zong and several old monks chose to continue to stick to it until the ninth year of Tianwen. Yi Xiang Zong's disciples did not go to deliver food for many days. When they secretly went to Honfuku Temple to check on it one night, Benfuku Temple Mingzong and several old monks have already passed away.
This is also the reason why rumors have circulated in Kentian for more than ten years that Mingzong was starved to death. The people who reversed the verdict this time were the followers of the Yixiang sect who went to the scene to bury Mingzong of Honfukuji Temple. From their mouths, they learned that Mingzong of Honfukuji Temple and others Several old monks were already emaciated. They had eaten all the wild vegetables, grass roots and bark around the temple. It is said that there were still some grass root residues left in a broken clay pot.
This incident not only aroused the renunciation and anger of the participating Ichikō sect disciples, but also the neutral Nichiren sect and Rinzai sect disciples began to sympathize with these old monks. Although the doctrines were contradictory and hostile to each other, people always sympathized with the weak, especially when they heard that the old monks Such a miserable experience for the monks made him even more indignant. Whether it was for the riots at Ichikōshu or the denunciation of the atrocities at Enryakuji Temple, the tide against Enryakuji Temple began to rise.
The monks of Enryaku Temple seemed to be awakening from a dream at this time. They sent people to post notices stating that the few Tendai Sect believers had nothing to do with the riots in the Yixiang Sect, and severely denounced spreading rumors as a sin, and making unwarranted accusations against Enryaku Temple was even more sinful. It is a huge sin and calls on Tiantai Sect believers to boycott this wave.
Speaking of which, Enryakuji's notice still played a certain role. After all, these townspeople are ordinary people. Most of the townspeople immediately shrank back after being frightened by this, but more townspeople expressed great anger. Enryaku Temple's arrogant face was clearly revealed in this notice, and all the notices posted in the town were torn down before the next day.
As a last resort, the monk posted a new notice. This time, it didn't even last a day. It was torn down that afternoon. The priest of Mount Hiei grabbed the townspeople who pulled the notice and punished them severely. This caused fierce conflicts in Sakamoto Town, and several Hundreds of unarmed townspeople besieged Master Yama. The outnumbered naginata warrior monk became furious, forgetting the restraint warned by the monk leader before coming, and grabbed his naginata, slashing and slashing dozens of people.
A few minutes after the murder, Kira's army heard the news and took action, killing the naginata monks who resisted on the spot. All Hieizan monks who participated in the murder were not given the opportunity to protest, and were all executed at the intersection outside the town in the evening of the same day. At the same time, Following the decree issued by Kira Yoshitsune, all towns in Shiga and Takashima prefectures prohibited monks from Enryakuji Temple from entering the towns.
This move completely angered Mount Hiei, but the Kira family was not afraid of his anger. Even if Mount Hiei caused trouble to the court, he did not say that he would not clean it up. If he wanted to cause trouble with the Sanno Shrine, it would depend on whether the Kira family would pay him back. He took the opportunity to complete the thorough cleansing of the Tendai Sect believers in the county this time. From now on, Mount Hiei will no longer be able to penetrate into Kira territory.
