Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 11 Three Rivers and One Xiangzong

() "The reminder from the head of the museum was very timely. I also noticed that there are many disciples of the Ichiko sect among the people in the country. The influence of Kaga Ichikui is really not good, so I invited the eminent monk of the Anguo Zen Temple to be the ashigaru master. At present, the response is good.” Yamamoto Kansuke brought the topic to the issue of samurai beliefs, which is also the issue that Kira Manmatsumaru is most concerned about.

The Sanhe Kingdom Ichigo Sect is replacing the original religious status of the Linji Sect and the Shingon Sect in the country, and has gradually become the largest sect power in the country, and the worst thing is that the Mikawa Ichigo Sect is supported by the Ise Nagashima Ichigo Sect, and is not afraid of the local people at all. However, even the Kira family only maintained superficial politeness, and never stopped privately making small moves to win over believers in Banzu County.

There are three branch temples in the Yixiangzong of Sanhe, namely Honjo Temple, Shanggong Temple and Shengman Temple, also known as Sanhe Sanji Temple. Among them, Xisanhe Honjo Temple is less than two miles away from Kira’s house (1 mile equals 3.927 kilometers) , happens to be between Saijo Castle and Anxiang Castle, and has a huge influence in the junction of Bandou County, Bihai County, and Uta County. Some even believe in Yixiangzong for three generations at the same time, which is a very terrible thing.

In order to eliminate the unfavorable influence of the Ichiko sect on the Kira family, Kira Wansongmaru has been working hard to curb the infiltration of Honjoji Temple into Bando County, and invited the Nishiyama sect to prosecute for the people of the country in Saijo Castle at intervals, and encouraged the monks of the Anguo Zen Temple All dispatched frequently in Nishimikawa, which is basically similar to Yamamoto Kansuke's approach, and each reads various scriptures to see who is more capable.

These actions aroused a certain degree of vigilance at the Honjoji Temple, but because of the special status of the Anguo Zen Temple, the Bodhi Temple as the Kira family is respected by others, so the Honjoji Temple is relatively restrained and has not taken any radical actions so far.

"If you are loyal to the family, you must ensure that the influence of Yixiangzong is eliminated. I will go and have a look when I have time. As for the changes in the Imagawa family, please mention it at the evaluation meeting!" Kira Wansongmaru turned solemn Kansuke Yamamoto nodded lightly in response to the exhortation.

After talking about the business, Kansuke Yamamoto talked about the changes in the current situation in Kinai. Since the beginning of summer this year, a battle at Eguchi to determine the hegemony of Kinai has just ended in Kinki. Brother, I defeated my uncle Miyoshi Masaga into Dao Zongsan, and drove the head of the family Harumoto Hosokawa, Yoshiharu Ashikaga, and the new general Yoshiharu Ashikaga to Sakamoto Mountain Resort for vacation.

At the beginning of July, Miyoshi Changqing led an army to Luo. He first sent his retainers to collect [-] guan land money from Kyoto to declare Miyoshi's family's control over Kyoto. He personally acted as the supervisor, successfully got rid of the master-slave relationship with Harumoto Hosokawa, and established the Miyoshi family's hegemony over Kinai. Since the end of the war at the Shariji Temple, Kinki, which had been stable for two years, fell into new troubles.

Yamamoto Kansuke got up and resigned soon after he had something to do, while Kira Manmatsu Maruko sat there, still worrying about the future of the Kira family: "The Imagawa family is still doing it. I thought there would be a few years' buffer, but it seems that I still How naive...Damn it! My life has just begun! Is it going to end in sadness? God has given me a useful body with the hope of reviving my ancestral business, I really don't want to just sit and wait for death!"

Annoyed, he walked to the corridor and saw that the people around him had finished today's class. Kira Wansongmaru was very troubled, and he tried to cheer himself up: "Everyone is working hard, I should do something too, I can't I gave up my life because of the threats from the Imagawa family, God gave me such an opportunity, it was not for wasting!"

After a while, the voice of Yamaoka Zenjiro came from a distance: "My lord! The harness has been prepared for you. Do you want to go out on a horse today?"

"Huh? Go! Of course go! Go now!" Kira Manmatsumaru left Yamaoka Zenjiro and strode to Nimaru's stable. Someone had already brought the horse out and stood by for orders. Twenty samurai rode back to sit Waiting by the boarding stone, the warriors of the horse return to wait for dispatch at any time in rotation every day, which is the rule of Kira's family.

With the help of Xiao Xing, Kira Manmatsumaru got on the horse, and then whistled and rushed down Sanmaru first, and ran away through Otemon. In a hurry, he took his own mount and hurriedly got on the horse, and yelled as he galloped: "Lord Master! Wait for me!"

Leaving Saijo Castle, Kira Manmatsumaru, headed north along the Yahagi River, and stopped on a hill near Honjo-ji Temple. The current head of Honjo-ji Temple, Master Kushita, is the grandson of the eighth Renju of Honganji Temple. , It’s been a lot of fun for him to jump up and down in Bandou County in the past few years, and what’s worse is that he seems to want to attack the Kira House as the main target. Kira Wansongmaru said that he would stay in mourning for three years and not talk about the sect as a reason, and he was still stuck in Saijo Castle.

Although he failed to win over the governor of Kira's house, the Master Kong vowed not to give up because of this. He still wandered around the Saijo castle town every now and then to spread the Dharma of the Ichiko sect, like a mangy dog. , That's why Xishan Zongyan was invited to preach Buddhism for the wealthy people.

Standing on the hill overlooking the Monzen Town of Honjoji Temple, Zhuanyan caught a glimpse of the Mahui warriors looking at the bustling scene of Monzen Town attentively, and the faint sound of Sanskrit singing in the distance, Kira Wan Songwan snorted coldly: "Yixiangzong was denounced as a demon by the five mountains and five temples in Jinai. These idiots are still extremely devout to Ijizongzong. It's ridiculous! Not everyone shaves their heads and becomes a monk, and the false Heguang of Hongan Temple is especially special many."

Ignoring the fascinated expressions of the horsemen, Kira Manmatsumaru rode his horse down the hill and headed northwest along the long slope. Yamaoka Zenjiro finally caught up, complaining that the owner of the museum was walking too fast , My bad horse doesn't care about driving, and reminds Kira Wansongmaru to pay attention to safety. Although the beasts on both sides of the road have been cleared, occasionally there will be animals rushing out of the forest.

"Zenjiro, when you have time to talk, you should think more about how to hone your sword skills! Compared with your bow skills, your sword skills are really inferior!" Kira Wansongmaru was annoyed by him, and on the spot he blamed him. He hid the blushing from what he said, and he also knew that Kira Wansongmaru had no malicious intentions, and he didn't like retainers talking about seppuku at all times, so he just smiled dryly and closed his mouth tightly.

Kira Manmatsumaru swayed forward with his head drooping. Not long after, Zenjiro, who forgot to eat but not beat, came over again, talking to himself about the anecdotes of Mikawa Kingdom, and then somehow mentioned that he was killed by four people. The Matsudaira Takechiyo sold by Shiguan was sold by Toda Yasumitsu, an important minister of the Kira family, because he robbed and sold Matsudaira Takechiyo who was going to be sent to Suruga, so Yoshimoto Imagawa sent troops to arrest Tahara before he was furious. The city was wiped out.

Toda Yasumitsu is the father-in-law of Matsudaira Hirotada, but he fell out with his son-in-law because he sold Matsudaira Hirotada's son, and because he acted without greeting the Kira family, he was refused assistance by the Kira family, so he was arrested by Imagawa two years ago. The family was wiped out, and Yoshimitsu Toda, the direct son of Yoshiyao Kira, died in the battle. The Tahara Toda clan was destroyed, and the Toda clan was split into three branches, namely the Imagawa clan, the Kira clan, and the Matsudaira clan.

"There's nothing to say about it. As an important minister of the family, he took refuge in the Oda family on his own initiative, and then he was exterminated and can't blame others." Kira Manmatsumaru was very dissatisfied. Why did Zenjiro speak out such a scandal so blindly? Don't you know that Kira Is it embarrassing that the family is unfavorable to the imperial retainers?

Yamaoka Zenjiro seemed to have sensed something was wrong and quickly closed his mouth. Not long after he settled down, he broke the calm again. He suddenly shouted: "Look, it's an eagle!"

"What eagle?" Kira Wansongmaru looked up and saw a black eagle flying high in the blue sky. The black eagle seemed to see a group of people and horses below, and occasionally honked twice and circled in the high air.

Yamaoka Zenjiro took out his bow and shot at the black hawk. The black hawk seemed to be aware of it. It spread its wings and dexterously avoided the sharp arrow. While circling and screaming angrily, it seemed to be condemning the archers below. Why did he attack him? Yamaoka Zenjiro's angry face turned blue and he was about to draw his bow and shoot again. At this time, there was a sharp eagle whistle in the woods, and the black eagle turned around and fell into the distant woods without looking back.

"Go! Go and have a look!" Kira Wansongmaru rushed into the woods first, and Yamaoka Zenjiro, who fell behind, shouted anxiously: "Master, wait! Watch out for the danger in the woods!"
