This great gift from Sibo Yiyin really shook Changjue’s Buddhist heart.
Last time Yi Gin entered the temple, he pointed out that after the Miyoshi family invaded Yamato, the tacit understanding between religion and the samurai family had been broken.
This matter has always worried Nagakaku. How can we maintain the status of the Shingon sect in troubled times?
The Tiantai Sect is dependent on the shogunate. If the shogunate is not destroyed, the Tiantai Sect will not be destroyed.
Moreover, the mountain master of Mount Hiei is not a vegetarian. At critical moments, the determination of protecting the temple and protecting the sect can make any intruder have a good drink.
Xiangzong has always taken root among the lower-level believers and has a large number of fanatical followers. Who would provoke this group of lunatics?
The new sect of the Shingon sect chose Wakayama as its headquarters, far away from the nearby centers and in a more peaceful place. It also had roots to protect and protect it, so ordinary children would not dare to peep.
And my own Shingon sect.
Mount Koya is at the intersection of Izumi, Kawachi, Kii, and Yamato, and recent wars have affected this area.
And Master Nara of Kofukuji Temple, whom he relied on to protect the temple and protect the sect, was led astray by Tsutsui Junkei and refused to listen to the instructions.
If this continues, the sect will be suppressed by external forces and will most likely decline. How can we not make Master Changjue worried?
Yoshigan Shiba expressed his willingness to convert to Shingon Buddhism, which was a temptation she could not refuse.
Of course Yoshigan will not become a monk, and the Shingon Sect does not need him to reach this point.
All he needs to do is believe in the Shingon sect, become a lay Buddhist, and take a Dharma name.
The Wu family has never been very religious. Warrior Ji, who advocates ancestor worship and cares about the continuation of the family, only regards religion as a spiritual sustenance and has few fanatical believers.
But the Wu family is the ruler of this world, and their beliefs greatly affect the development of religion.
For example, Yoshigami currently controls the Iga Kingdom, and may also exercise control over the Yamato Northern Samurai Family.
Once he is determined to believe in the Shingon Sect, most of the martial arts under his command will choose the Shingon Sect when they believe in a Buddhist sect.
Trying to figure out the leader's preferences is not only a specialty of the past life, but also a commonality among human beings.
Regardless of whether the beliefs of these warriors are loyal or not, their choices will greatly affect the tendencies of their subordinate warriors and civilians in the territory.
It is not easy for anyone to live in this world, so how can anyone oppose the rulers?
In this way, the power of the Shingon sect can expand to the north of Yamato and Iga country.
Taking the opportunity to enter the sphere of influence of the Tendai Sect such as Yamashiro Country and Minami Omi.
And there, it has always been impossible to insert a needle or splash water.
In addition to the expansion of faith, more importantly, Tsutsui Junkei's problem may be solved.
Once the Shingon Sect had a powerful samurai family as secular foreign aid, Tsutsui Junkei's status as the leader of the Nara Masters actually declined.
Because she is no longer the only support for the Shingon Sect's protection, the Shingon Sect has other options.
Just like when the Tsutsui family and the Ochi family jointly took charge of the Nara sage, Kofukuji Temple can balance it and maintain its authority.
Now it is nothing more than the introduction of Spo Yiyin, changing the method and continuing to play the old method of balance.
This is so beneficial to the Shingon Sect that Master Changjue cannot help but be unmoved.
"Is this true, Imperial Majesty?"
Yiyin nodded seriously.
"Of course it's true.
If the Dharma Master is willing, I can now convert to Shingon Sect in front of Medicine Master Tathagata and become a lay practitioner.
I also ask the Dharma Master to give me a Dharma name for my convenience."
Changjue laughed at Yiyin's last little playfulness.
"Sanhao Changqing invaded Yamato and destroyed the peaceful Buddhist kingdom on earth. Such perverse actions are undoubtedly the enemies of Buddha!
I will personally issue a decree today and tell the world clearly that the Three Good Changqings are the enemies of the Buddha!"
Seeing Changjue's resolute face, Yiyin knew that she was determined to die.
As the Dharma Master of the Holy Land, Master Changjue has a high status. But after all, she is not the Supreme Leader of the Shingon Sect, the Master.
If a dispatched leader overstepped her authority and identified the Buddha's enemies without authorization, she would probably end up badly, and other sects would not pay attention to her edict.
When the time comes to hold him accountable, he will probably be kicked out of the Shingon Sect to let everyone vent their anger, and he will die as a traitor.
Being so loyal to the sect is also an idiot.
However, Yiyin needs a fool like her to achieve its goal.
Regardless of whether it is an edict or not, at least until other sects react, Sanhao Changqing is the enemy of Buddha!
In this way, Tsutsui Shunkei would not dare to collude with Shiga Icun, so he would be more sure of going south to join forces.
And all Yiyin paid was a religious belief that he had never believed in. It was just an extra Dharma name for others to call him. What did it matter?
When Yiyin saw her on the road, he was not pretentious. He knelt in front of Medicine Master Tathagata in the lobby and looked at Master Changjue.
Changjue nodded, walked forward, touched his head and said.
"Gozen has deep roots of wisdom and is destined to be my Buddha. I have the courage to bear witness for Gozen to join the Shingon Sect."
Yiyin replied.
"The Dharma Master is merciful, and Yi Yin is grateful."
Changjue nodded with a smile and said.
"In this case, a layman should also have a Dharma name. What do you think of the word humility?"
Yiyin smiled.
"The Dharma Master is so talented. From now on, I will be Sibo Yiyin's Taoist Kenshin."
Both parties looked at each other and smiled, and the deal was done.
The main battlefield in Hanoi.
Eastern Mountain Castle Kingdom, Western Settsu Kingdom, Southern Kawachi Kingdom, and Northern Tanba Kingdom.
There is a border between Settsu and Yamashiro. Tamba in the north is very mountainous, and it is rare to come to the south to have fun.
Yamashiro Kingdom has been the foundation of the Ashikaga family for thirteen generations, and its internal defenses are tight. If you are determined to defend it, it will be impossible to advance to Kyoto Castle for a while.
Once the army that has entered the mountain city from Setsujin engages in a cage battle with the shogunate, Hanoi behind them will be particularly eye-catching.
The Hosokawa family in Izumi threatens the logistics center of Sakai Port. The Hatakeyama family in Kawachi threatens the logistics supply line.
Last time, out of political considerations, Miyoshi Chokei marched in a hurry to attack the lower city of Kyoto. As a result, he was blocked in front of the castle complex of Yamashiro Province. The back road was harassed by the Hosokawa and Hatakeyama families, which made them miserable.
This time the Sanhao family has poured out all their money, so the strategy will naturally be stable and there will no longer be any flaws exposed for criticism.
Even Danbo in the north has sent a partial force to contain it, let alone Hanoi, which is a thorn in the side.
Miyoshi Nagakei's strategy was to contain the Izumi and Tanba factions, and lead the main force into Hanoi, without fear that the shogunate army would not come to rescue them.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is weak, and multiple forces have joined forces to form an army.
Politically, the Hatakeyama family could not bear the impact of being defeated, which caused various families to make small calculations, so they had to come to the rescue.
When Miyoshi Nagakei entered Hanoi, he did not attack Takaya Castle, the Hatakeyama family's home town in the south of Hanoi, and just blocked the arrival of the shogunate's troops and faced off from east to west.
This time, the Sanhao family had been preparing for several years, with sufficient food and grass, and a large number of troops and troops.
However, Ashikaga Yoshiteru hastily formed a coalition army, which resulted in disunity and unstable logistics.
Just as Miyoshi Yoshihiro thought in Yamato, Miyoshi Chokei wanted to drag the shogunate army to death.
Japan was barren and could not withstand the consumption of war. Domestic operations often ended in ten days, and overseas operations rarely lasted more than thirty days.
This time, the Miyoshi family's logistics were enough to sustain the army for sixty or seventy days, while the shogunate's army could only sustain supplies for about forty days.
In war, logistics is all about fighting.
This battle is related to the survival of the Sanhao family, and Sanhao Changqing is not prepared to take the risk at all.
The best result is that she holds back the shogunate's army and waits for Shikawa Icun from the southern front to invade Kyoto.
The worst outcome was that there was a stalemate on the southern front, the shogunate army's logistics collapsed and they retreated, and she led her troops to cover up the attack and rush into Kyoto.
Therefore, as long as Ashikaga Yoshiteru sends troops into Hanoi, the layout of the Miyoshi family will be completed.
