Thanks to Mr. Yin's "support" for Qi Xuansu, Master Qingwei gave Qi Xuansu great autonomy. As long as he did not violate the basic principles, he could make the decision and promise anything, which made Suzuka Gozen greatly misunderstand Qi Xuansu's role.
Due to his status in the Taoist sect, it can even be said that Suzuka Gozen almost mistook Qi Xuansu for Li Changge, thinking that he was Qingwei's confidant.
In fact, Qi Xuansu is still quite far away from Zhang Yuelu, Li Changge, and Yao Pei, not only in terms of realm cultivation, but also in terms of the power that can be mobilized in his hands. No matter how much Qiniang loves him, Qiniang is not the deputy head master after all.
There is no comparison on this point.
Qi Xuansu was happy to make mistakes without pointing out the matter, and directly discussed cooperation matters with Suzuka Gozen.
Suzuka Gozen is a very realistic woman. She doesn't care who is right or wrong. Back then, she could use Otakemaru's head to clear her name, so today she can stand on the side of the Taoist clan and exchange for a higher status.
Today's Suzuka Gozen is said to be a mountain god, but he has not been officially canonized and has no title. If it were placed in the Central Plains, it would be classified as a temple for obscenity. As the saying goes, prescribing the right medicine to the case, Qi Xuansu's first promise was to address this point, and he would use Taoism to
, the Daigen Imperial Court and the Fenglinzhou Imperial Court officially consecrated Suzuka Gozen in the triple name, allocated 200,000 Taiping money to build the shrine, and the entire Suzuka Mountain and the surrounding 800 miles were placed under the name of Suzuka Gozen. .??.
The reason why Qi Xuansu dared to make such a promise was mainly because this was Fenglinzhou.
If in the Central Plains, Qi Xuansu could go out eight hundred miles with just one mouthful, he would be scolded to death, and charges such as "transgression," "treason," "wanton behavior," and "perverse behavior" could be pinned on his head.
.Xuansheng and Emperor Gaozu finally measured the land in the world before breaking the Confucian sect's annexation of land. What are your intentions?
But Fenglinzhou is actually a feudal system. Qi Xuansu just gave a piece of Ise Shrine's territory to Suzuka Gozen. It is not his own thing anyway, so he doesn't feel bad. In addition to giving away an empty title, the Daomen mainly
It is the cost of 200,000 peace money, which is within the one million limit given by Qingwei Zhenren, and Qi Xuansu can use it at will.
In addition, Qi Xuansu also promised to provide another 150,000 peace dollars to compensate the dead and injured people of Suzuka Mountain.
If it were just these external things, it would naturally not be able to impress Suzuka Gozen. At most, Suzuka Gozen would appear to surrender to the Taoist sect, so it would be impossible to drive her to fight for the Taoist sect.
So Qi Xuansu had a second promise.
Qi Xuansu only asked Suzuka Gozen, "Don't you want to leave Suzuka Mountain and go to heaven?"
Suzuka Gozen asked, "Can the Domen do this kind of thing?"
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "The Taoist sect has vast magical powers, and the Taoist sect is omnipotent. If
If Yuqian can help Daomen capture Ise, then I can promise that Yuqian can get 10% of Tianmen's divine power. As for more, Yuqian needs to negotiate with the real person in charge of the army in person, and it also depends on Yuqian's sincerity."
After hearing this, even though Suzuka Gozen has lived for hundreds of years and has the power of a pseudo-immortal, she is still breathing a little heavily.
10% of divine power may sound like a small amount, but that is 10% of Tianmen's divine power.
There are as many as nine shrines in such a large Tianmen, and there are at least tens of thousands of other shrines of various sizes. In addition, Tianmen is now revered as the state religion by the royal family, and its divine power is so huge that although it cannot
Compared with Taoism or the Holy Court, but for individuals, it is also an astronomical number.
Divine power is almost omnipotent and can change almost everything.
As long as Suzuka Gozen has enough divine power, he may not be able to change the status quo.
This promise could not help Suzuka Gozen's heart.
But the prerequisite is to defeat the Zunbang Sect and Tianmen.
This is also the reason why Qi Xuansu dared to make such a condition. To put it bluntly, this is Tianmen's thing, and Daomen has nothing to lose.
Suzuka Gozen was naturally tempted, even a little unbelievable, and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think so?"
Qi Xuansu took out an envelope from the Xumiwu and handed it to Suzuka Gozen.
Suzuka Gozen hesitated for a moment and took the envelope.
Qi Xuansu said, "This is an autographed letter from Master Qingwei, with complete seals."
Qingwei Zhenren does not know the specific attitude of Suzuka Gozen, and has never met Suzuka Gozen. Of course, it is impossible to state some specific conditions in the letter. It is more about saying some relatively empty words to express his attitude. The specific conditions still need to be determined by Qi Xuansu
He may try to adapt to circumstances, but the significance of this letter is still extraordinary. Whether the conditions proposed by Qi Xuansu are consistent with the attitude of Master Qingwei in the letter can be seen at a glance.
What constitutes a certificate ultimately boils down to credibility, that is, whether one can be trusted to pass through the door. If it can be trusted, this letter is the certificate. If it cannot be trusted, it is useless for Master Qingwei to come in person.
Fortunately, the reputation of Daomen has been very good over the years. Not to mention other things, Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office is an example. It can be regarded as cooperating with Daomen for many years. At the critical moment, everyone in the Prime Minister's Office looked forward to Daomen's personal end. Taoism really did not give up on the Prime Minister's Office.
, he really stepped in personally, immediately helped the Prime Minister's Mansion stabilize the situation, and turned from defense to offense.
This means there is no
After living up to the trust of the Prime Minister, over time, the Taoist sect's credibility has been established. As long as it is a promise given by the Taoist sect, coupled with the powerful power of the Taoist sect, it can win people's trust even if there is no contract or certificate. Whether it is making peace or recruiting surrender.
, it will be much easier. After Master Qingwei’s two speeches, the ghosts and gods in Fenglinzhou heard the news, which is a reflection of this credibility.
If you are capricious, burn bridges, and settle accounts after the fall, even if you gain temporarily, it will be very harmful in the long run.
Reinnovation and creation internally, credibility and unity externally are the four iron rules left over from the Xuansheng era and have not changed for many years.
Internally, innovation is mainly reflected in reusing young people and developing creations. Needless to say, externally, whether it is credibility or unity, it can be boiled down to one rule: the more friends, the better, and the fewer enemies, the better.
Suzuka Gozen just glanced at the seal on the seal and did not open the letter. He already believed Qi Xuansu's promise.
Qi Xuansu took out a small box with great care and brought it to Suzuka Gozen.
Suzuka Gozen took the box and asked, "What is this?"
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well open it and take a look."
Suzuka Gozen then opened the box and saw two bills of special material inside. They were invulnerable to water and fire, and the textures were so fine and complex that they were better than many talismans.
"What is this?" Suzuka Gozen asked hesitantly.
Qi Xuansu said, "This is the bearer official ticket of the Taiping Bank. The denomination is 100,000 Taiping money. These are two sheets. The total is 200,000 Taiping money. You can withdraw it immediately with the ticket. It should be regarded as the 150,000 Taiping money and the construction money we have agreed upon."
Part of the deposit for the shrine and the other 150,000 peace coins will be delivered to the emperor as soon as possible."
Official notes are not currency, but notes for deposits.
Again, the reputation of Taiping Bank is here, and the official tickets can almost be used as real money.
Suzuka Gozen could not leave Suzuka Mountain, so it was naturally the first time he saw such a large-denomination Central Plains official ticket.
For her personally, money is an external thing and nothing. But for Suzuka Mountain, it is very important. Her people in Suzuka Mountain also need money. If money is not gathered, how can it gather people's hearts? These days, there is no money in hand.
Even a chicken can't be coaxed with rice. Suzuka Gozen, who once served as the leader of thieves and had a black hat, naturally felt this deeply.
But Suzuka Gozen also knows that if you accept money from Domen, you are boarding Domon's big ship. It has always been easier to get on the boat than to get off. If you don't accept money, don't get on the ship, and are not hostile, you are an outsider, and Domon will not do anything to you.
In this way, the attitude will be more gentle. After receiving the money,
Once you get on the ship, you become one of the Taoists. The Taoists have a different attitude towards their own people. At some points, it can even be called cruel.
To take a step back, collecting money to do things is a matter of course.
This money is a bit hot.
However, Suzuka Gozen still decided to accept it. There was no other way. The Taoist school had given too much, and the temptation of 10% divine power was really irresistible.
On the other side, Yamada Castle in Dohui County was very "lively" at this time.
The last time it was so "busy" was when the newly appointed regent Toyotomi Hidetsuge led the prime minister's anti-rebellion army into Ise.
This time it was still a counter-rebellion army, but it was replaced by a Taoist army.
The lord of Yamada Castle came to the city gate in person, feeling a little uneasy.
Soon, the earth began to roar.
The sound of horse hooves and the billowing smoke raised by the cavalry came from far and near.
And this was not an ordinary sound of horse hooves, it was like a herd of elephants migrating, causing the pebbles on the ground to jump continuously.
Then a line of black tide appeared in everyone's field of vision.
A large number of black cavalry are approaching Yamada Castle.
Although the cavalry did not charge and were just marching normally, their majestic power still made people breathless.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of flying boats appeared in the sky above the cavalry, mainly "Purple Dragon" and "Huang Chi", as well as a huge "Yinglong" that was surrounded by stars.
Blocking out the sky and the sun, it’s like dark clouds pressing down on a city.
Under the auspices of Qingwei Zhenren, Xiujing's camp launched a February offensive named "Dragon Raises its Head", gathering more than 3,000 Xuanjia heavy cavalry, two "Yinglong" ships, and twelve "Purple Jiao" ships.
, 1,400 artillery pieces, more than 4,000 spiritual officers, 12,000 men in black, and more than 30,000 ministerial servants, a total of about 50,000 troops, advancing westward from Xiujing.
, break through Owari, Mikawa, and go straight to Mino, Renko Naegi, Hachiman, Iwamura, Ogaki, Imao, Takasu, Kano and other cities.
The daimyo feudal lords who had more than two hands chose to commit seppuku.
A Jing-level palace minister was shot to death on the spot by "Long Jing Jia Er".
The Daomen army entered Ise on February 12th, joined the remnants of the Xiangfu troops stationed here, and decided to formally attack Ise on February 14th to wipe out all the Zunbang faction rebel forces in Ise.
The camp once again issued a warning that all civilians and unrelated persons should immediately withdraw from Ise territory to avoid accidental injuries.
After February 14th, Daomen will implement a complete blockade of Ise.
