Chapter eight hundred and twenty-four a compromise
Master Xianru smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said.
"Shiba Yiyin is not easy to deal with, but his retainers are also very powerful.
Takada Yono of Sakai Port took advantage of the greed of the Tokura manager and invested most of the copper coins in the temple into the Hokuriku Road trade route.
The Hokuriku Road's Nanari Yoriju and Shimoma Yoriteru fought and blocked the trade routes. On the contrary, Shiba Yiyin was opening up the trade routes for me to make money. What do you want me to say?
In addition, the Nanman Sect somehow managed to break into Kyoto and caught the eye of the shogunate.
Akechi Mitsuhide wrote a letter, saying that he would guard the gate of the shogunate for my Buddha and prevent the Southern Barbarians from succeeding in their conspiracy and obtain the right to preach. I was speechless with such awe-inspiring justice.
On my side, Yoriteru Shima is still attacking her master's garrison and encircling and suppressing her master's cavalry. How do you want me to reply to your letter?
You have seen it in these places over the past few days. You know best how rampant the Nanman Cult is.
This is still an underground missionary! If they get the right to preach, they might be able to cause a lot of trouble!"
Lai Lian sighed and said.
"Believers from the three villages of Ono, Nakano, and Takahira in Arima County had a conflict with the Nanban missionaries in Mita Town. The Nanban missionaries came to support, and many people died on both sides.
Mr. Miyoshi Choitsu of the Miyoshi family sent someone to inform me. Tamba Country is in trouble, and the Miyoshi family is busy suppressing the rebellion and has no time to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.
She doesn't care about our affairs with the Nanman Sect, but Mita Town is a transit point along the Yodogawa River, and the logistics station here cannot be implicated.
If the logistics are disrupted and the supply of the Sanhao family's frontline troops is affected, the Sanhao family will not tolerate it."
Master Xianru snorted and said.
"Wu family, oh, Wu family."
Ishiyama Honganji Temple is located at the junction of Settsu, Izumi, and Hanoi. It is extremely powerful and is not afraid of the Miyoshi family. The Miyoshi family is also unwilling to get involved in religious matters and cause a mess.
But this premise is that both parties are in peace.
It really delayed the military operations of the Sanhao family. The Wu family was jealous and ignored it.
Just because Xiang Zong is not afraid of the Sanhao family does not mean that he will provoke the Sanhao family and cause trouble for himself.
Master Xianru recited a line of Namo Amitabha and then said.
"The Ashikaga Shogun of Kyoto asked me through private channels why the Hokurikudo Ichika clan raided her husband's residence."
Lai Lian thought for a while and said.
"If I ask privately, the Ashikaga family probably doesn't want to conflict with my clan."
Master Xianru glanced at her and said dissatisfied.
"Ashikaga Yoshiteru doesn't want to think about it now, but if I don't explain it, she will think about it!
If the turmoil really comes to the point where the shogunate formally issues an order, neither she nor I will be able to step down. This private communication also leaves room for each other."
When Master Xianru said this, Lai Lian knew clearly that Master Xianru wanted to compromise.
The subordinate Lai Lian was also in a difficult situation. It seemed that the superior wanted to talk to her about these things to give face to the expansionists.
What Yoriteru Shimoma did was not wrong, but the result was too bad. The local temples in Hokuriku Province complained fiercely, and the pressure on Ishiyama was also great.
The expansionists suffered a big loss this time, and the conservatives within Honganji Temple will inevitably raise more questions, making it more difficult to launch the expansion that has always been unstoppable.
Lai Lian said.
"Shiba Yiyin is still very friendly to our sect, but there is indeed something wrong with Yoriteru Shimama.
But for the sake of her loyalty and consideration for Benshan, can she be given another chance?
Although Nanari Yorishu is not likable, he has a pioneering spirit, and he has done well by exchanging Noto land for peace within Kaga.
The two of them failed this time because they chose the wrong opponent. Shiba Yiyin is an extraordinary man from the Wu family and is invincible. It is not the fault of the two of them."
Master Xianru nodded slowly.
Xia Jian Lai Lian supported her idea of compromise, and there would be no more problems with the expansionists.
The expansionists suffered a big loss this time, and the interests of the Hokurikudo Ichikai clan in Noto Echu were definitely going to be damaged.
Xia Jian Lai Lian desperately wanted to protect Xia Jian Lai Zhao and Qili Lai Zhou, mainly due to two considerations.
On the one hand, the expansionists' strategy of external expansion has not changed. If they cannot even protect their own people, they have admitted in disguise that their expansion strategy is wrong.
On the other hand, Nanari Yorishu and Shimoma Yoriteru are generals within the Ichigo sect who have the ability and desire to expand externally. Regardless of whether they like them or not, the expansionists cannot cool the hearts of talented people.
Therefore, Laima Lai Lian can cooperate with Master Xian Ru to quell the war in Hokuriku Road, and Xiang Zong can give in. However, these two people cannot move. This is her condition.
The Master Xianru said.
"Although Nanato Norisu is disgusting, the overall situation of Kaga is really inseparable from her, so let her continue to be Kaga's general.
But I want to warn her that Noto should let it go. Let her put more effort into taking back the territory of Xiaosongsanji Temple in the Daishoji River area.
Don't be afraid that if you take back the Great Holy Temple, the small sect will be revived. Whoever takes back the territory will obey the local people.
Let her behave and act with dignity.
As for Yori Teru, I can pretend that I can't hear the complaints from the leaders of the two temples in Vietnam and China. I believe in you, and I believe in her. Let her calm down and negotiate peace with Shiba Yiyin as soon as possible.
I will write to Yoshihiro Shiba and explain that I have no intention of conflict with him on the Hokuriku Road. Our clan has a share in the Hokuriku Road trade route, and our clan will also be the beneficiary of being able to ascend to the central peace of Vietnam.
With my letter in front of me, I will go back to the thorn bush to plead guilty. Ispo Yiyin's wisdom must know how to restrain himself and stop."
Next, Lai Lian bowed and thanked the Dharma Master for his mercy.
The conditions of the expansionists were fully accepted by Master Xianru, Qili Laizhou and Xiajian Laizhao were not moved by her, and peace negotiations were put on the agenda.
On the Hokuriku Road side, neither the local Ichiko clan nor Shiba Yoshigan probably knew that the Ichiko clan had taken a stake in the Hokuriku trade route.
It seems that when the master passed on this news, he was giving both parties a ladder to step down.
Noto country can no longer be fought. Nanao Port is an important part of the Hokuriku Road trade route.
In order to stabilize the internal affairs of Nanari Yorishu, it is not necessary to take land from Noto Province. To fight back to the Daishoji River, it is enough to use the enemy of the Echizen Asakura family to unite people's hearts.
The Northern Iga sect's forces slowly conquered the smaller sect's territory. This was Master Xianru's request for Qili Laizhou.
As for Yoriteru Shimoma, he wanted to bridge the differences between the two temple leaders in Vietnam and China. This battle could not be fought.
Master Xianru told her to find Shiba Yiyin because only Shiba Yiyin was truly willing to make peace with the Yixiang clan.
The local Wu family in Yuezhong covets the land of the Yixiang clan in Yuezhong. Now that they have the upper hand, they will definitely tear off a piece of flesh and blood, or even eat them alive.
But Sibo Yin is different.
The relationship between the Shiba family and the Ichigo clan is not just about the military conflict in Hokurikudo, but also the political and economic cooperation between the upper levels of both parties.
Local friction is not what the top management wants to see. It is obvious that the Master is not willing to fall out with the Shiba family, and she believes that Shiba Yiyin is not willing to completely fall out with Yixiang Zong.
In this case, let's see how the imperial office unites Zonglianheng and reconciles the contradiction between the Yixiang clan and the local martial arts family.
It seems that the Master has confidence in this young man's intelligence.
