Chapter 170 Shrinkage

 In the Wu family society, reincarnation is above all else.

The geniuses that appear every five hundred years are actually five hundred years of ruthless time. How many people can point to God and say that my fate is up to me and not God.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary community member of a charity bank. Even though he was middle-aged, he had not made much of a name for himself in the company.

After another pregnancy, the Spo family still had a chance to prosper despite the fact that the whole family was dead.

Suzuki Shigehide is a self-taught man who is one of the few warriors and iron cannon masters in recent times.

With the power of the Suzuki family, they united the people of the country and drove away the famous Hatakeyama family that had dominated Kii country for generations. It was very majestic.

But even if you are so capable, it only ends here. You have to work as a mercenary for ten years, being sold back and forth by various families, sitting on the cannon fodder, and surviving from death.

The Miyoshi family is worried that their descendants will not be able to support the family business. How can she, Shigehide Suzuki, guarantee that her family will produce heroes and talents from generation to generation?

If she had that confidence, why would she help Sanhao fight? What kind of fight would she fight against the shogunate?

It's not that I'm afraid that the Hatakeyama family will make a comeback and all of them will die sooner or later.

Even if the Hatakeyama family is in ruins, as long as the shogunate's protective system remains, the Suzuki family is rebellious.

Any samurai family who wants to occupy Kii Country can attack her. Standing under the banner of justice of the shogunate, there is no need to make excuses.

Again, the rebelliousness of the Wu family society means that only you know the pain in your heart. If a low-level Wu family doesn't follow the rules and kneels down, and starts to fight, it will probably not end well.

Miyoshi Yoshiki's heartfelt words finally convinced Suzuki Shigehide, who had always been cautious, to make her decide to take a big gamble.

The next day, in the central part of Yamato, the Yoshigan Main Formation, which was continuing to spread its forces, received bad news.

"Did Zahezhong shrink? So quickly?"

The Third Taifu of Baidi nodded to Yiyin with a sullen face.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yoshigan knew it would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He glanced at Shima Katsuki and Yagyu Munenomi, who were accompanying the team, and asked Momoji Santao.

"Is it because we rescued the Wu family and escaped alive that Zahezhong received the news?"

Bai Di San Taifu shook his head and said.

"No, it's because I underestimated Suzuki Shigehide. This leader of the Zahe Zhong is not an ordinary person. She sends out ten cavalry envoys every day to contact the scattered Zahe Zong soldiers in various places.

Our army has been killing people for two days, and she was unable to contact many people, so she was exposed. If a small team hadn't happened to rob and kill an envoy, we would still have been kept in the dark."

Yiyin nodded. Who would be stupider than the other in this troubled world? How can any good thing come true? He consoled him.

"I don't blame you for this. It's normal for mercenaries to be careful when doing things. It's not an accident."

Mercenaries have been sold as cannon fodder by the Wu family all year round. Those who succeed are cautious and cautious. It is normal that they cannot take advantage of themselves.

"Now what?"

Yiyin looked at Nizi Shengjiu.

Nizi Shengjiu was also surprised, thought for a moment and said.

"The incident happened suddenly. Zahezhong was killed for three days, and about 250 people were wiped out.

The only plan now is to order all the ministries to intercept them forcefully, hoping to try to leave some behind before they shrink back."

Yiyin nodded and gave the order.

But this can stop losses, but it is not a solution to the problem.

Now that Zahe Zhong has become vigilant, there is no possibility of large losses. Then these thousand scattered soldiers can return at least six to seven hundred.

Including the Zaga party's own strength, the number will reach more than 1,100. These are wild samurai, and their number and strength are not inferior to the wild samurai of the Iga clan.

Moreover, the Iga people lacked armaments, but the Zahe people were well-equipped and had many iron cannons, which was another problem.

This sudden situation made the atmosphere in the formation temporarily heavy. Nizi Shengjiu thought about it again and again, and sighed.

"Yu Qian, now we can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time.

After the Zahe crowd gathers, there should be two possibilities. One is to return to the army and go south. The other is to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. No matter which one they choose, our army cannot just watch.

Shiga's army is still in the south, and the Tsutsui family doesn't know how long they can hold on, we can't afford to wait."

Yiyin nodded and said.

“Then we have to take the next step in advance.

The threat to the Northland from Shimahime, Yagyuhime, and the Zahezhong has been eliminated. Please mobilize the samurai to assist our army and defeat the Zahezhong.

We must prepare food, grass, troops, and troops, and do our best to raise them to gather at Junshan City within three days."

The two concubines bowed and said hello, then went down to prepare.

The two of them would definitely not be able to make it in time themselves. They would still need to rely on letters and envoys from the Iga clan to contact each family. Time was tight.

After they left, Yiyin said again.

"Now that the threat from the Zahe people is gone, I should go to Xingfu Temple to see the Dharma Master and feel relieved.

Baijiji, mobilize a reserve team and surround Xingfuku Temple."

Kofukuji Temple was built in the eighth century to pray for the founder of the Fujiwara family. It later became known as one of the seven major temples in the ancient capital of Nara.

Emperor Tsunemu moved north to Kyoto, and the glory of the ancient capital of Nara was no longer there.

The seven major temples fell into decline one after another. Only Kofukuji Temple, by chance, bucked the trend and achieved the reputation of North Enryakuji Temple and Nankōfukuji Temple.

The temple originally belonged to the Hosho sect, but later various schools of Buddhism merged and belonged to one of the mainstream Shingon sects.

Shingon Buddhism is a sect founded by the famous Japanese master Kukai who traveled east to the Tang Dynasty to obtain the true scriptures. It is also called Eastern Buddhism.

Although the mainstream Buddhist schools have profound Buddhist teachings, they are limited to the upper class. Later, a heresy emerged in Buddhism called Yixiang Sect.

The Yixiang sect believes that one can become a Buddha with just one sentence of Amitabha, attracting a large number of low-level believers.

This is also understandable. Compared with the great principles of those high nuns, the nuns of the Yixiang sect who went to the countryside to work together and chanted Amitabha together were more loved by the working people.

Religion is an anesthetic that allows the believers at the bottom who are constantly fighting against the Wu family and who are in poverty and cannot see the light to have thoughts of the afterlife.

How can a religion that can save people in trouble and seek the afterlife with just one sentence, and a group of nuns who are willing to go to the fields and work and suffer together with their believers, not be so popular in the world?

The rise of Yixiang Sect has also become a thorn in the side of mainstream Buddhism.

Religious figures hate heretics more than paganism. After all, colleagues are enemies, and heretical beliefs cannot be enlightened by tolerance.

The invasion of Beidahe by the Zahe Zhong this time has added a lot of hatred to both sides.

If Suzuki Shigehide hadn't been smart enough to prevent his men from recklessly attacking Kofukuji Temple, it would have triggered a violent backlash.

If this religious war joins recent battlefields, it will definitely turn the world upside down, and we don’t know how to deal with it.

There is still the possibility of stop-loss negotiations in the war between the Wu family and religious wars. The only good heresy is not the one who dies all the heretics.

Whether they are warriors or nuns, most of the poor people at the bottom of the family die. Those who are high up are the most difficult to die, such as generals and Dharma masters.

In today's Kofukuji Temple, the Hosho Sect has declined, and the Shingon Sect has sent a master to maintain it. This Dharma Master of Kofukuji Temple is also the master of the Shingon Sect.

The headquarters of the Shingon Sect is in Mount Koya, and Wakayama Neraiji Temple is its branch, but it is a branch with somewhat different doctrines. The head of Kofukuji Temple was sent from Koyasan.

The reasons are complicated and Yiyin cannot figure it out. We can only lament that religion is difficult to deal with.

This time Yiyin mobilized troops to threaten him, just to meet with the leader of the Koyasan Shingon sect.

Regardless of whether they are Genlaizhu or Zahezhu, they are heretical cults for Kofukuji Temple.

I, Sibo Yiyin, will eradicate dissidents for you. If you know what you are doing, please quickly hand over your money, food and military equipment, so that I can enrich my military strength!
