Chapter 39 Kizu
Japan, Sezu Kingdom, Ishiyama Place, Honan Temple.
As the sect leader of the Honanji who has a powerful force, the name of Yin Ru has a meaning in Japan just as Chen Mu was in the Ming Dynasty, which means promotion and wealth.
Although he was just a monk, he had the most believers in the world and the most donated money. With the correct use of Honan Temple, he made friends with the powerful and powerful people.
Whether it is a powerful daimyo like Hosokawa Harutomoto, a famous Buddhist sect like Tiantai Sect, or a Komyeon who has been a Kanbashi, they all have a deep relationship with Honanji Erima. For example, one of them needs money to live, while the other one is so much that they don’t know where to spend it.
In addition to spending money, Yinru also has some similarity to Chen Mu in making money. For example, in the past few years, as long as the maritime merchants could gain benefits for the Southeast Asian countries, Haojing was a rare good port for maritime trade taxes. When a region has this characteristic, it would absorb most of the surrounding wealth like a magnet.
Near the Japanese Wangjing, a wealthy village can find a way to ask Xianru to arrange an agent for the local archer. The owner will come with Yu Shinono and Ohashi Guardian to issue documents to exempt taxes and labor. From the lords to the farmers, the local people can get such privileges. Who doesn't like such monks?
Even the Emperor, who was so poor that he had no money to start the throne ceremony, successfully ascended the throne because of Xianru's sponsorship.
In the past, Ohashi-sama Shuo liked him very much, so Yasaji Town was built outside Ishiyama Honanji Obo, and the good harbor made the place prosperous quickly. However, now he claims to be Shinono, Ohashi-sama, Ohashi-sama Shuo, Oda Nobunaga, disliked him very much.
Especially in the second month, Oda Nobunaga may not know how many times it was asking for money from Honanji. In short, the request failed and the two sides started a war in order to obtain a good harbor for foreign trade.
On the triple oars near the sea in the Okura Temple, the monk's robes beside the window, Yinruo, wearing monk's robes, folded his hands, and looked at the sea and complained to the samurai standing beside him.
"Why didn't Nobunaga want to truce? Isn't he asking for Shishan to get the iron cannons of the Southern Barbarians? Now there are no Southern Barbarians on the sea, and he has to continue to fight for five years. Can't he see that we just did nothing in the cage city and guarded for five years? The Buddha can let us wait for another five years!"
The samurai standing beside him was wearing black armor, robes, and hangs Buddhist beads. He was named Nairi Shimama. He was the arch-owner of Honan Temple. He served as the general during Oda's siege of Honan Temple. He glared and pursed his lips, turned his tongue around his lips, and rubbed his eyes awkwardly toward the sea.
Xianru did not do anything. He wrote a letter to gather believers, wrote letters to join forces with various places, and circled around in the temple to boost morale for those believers who firmly believe that fighting against the Buddha's enemies will make it easier to achieve the Pure Land rebirth. Apart from this, Xianru did nothing but the cage.
They were all the believers who rushed to various places to stop the Oda army, but the facts were indeed as Xiru said. If they did not concentrate their strength, Nobunaga could not reach the city of Honanji. In the current situation, it was obviously impossible to concentrate their strength against Honanji.
"Nobunaga was not for iron cannons. There was no difference between him or her or not. How much did the sect leader give him to support the battle? Five thousand guan, five thousand guan, and another five thousand guan. Nobunaga wanted to dominate Osaka."
"He wants to control Nara, Sakai and Kyoto, from Yodo and Toba to the entrance of Osaka Castle, he can take a direct boat. Here, there are Kamogawa, Shirakawa, Kashigawa, Yodogawa, Uji River and other big rivers in the north. Within two or three miles, there are Nakatsu River, Suita River, Eguchi River, and Kasakawa, and Honji River. You can build a ferry boat in Honji. All of this is what he wants."
As he said that, Lai Lian, the lower class, curled his lips and said, "Maybe he doesn't want to ferry the Ming boat anymore."
While the two chatted, Kitsugawa gathered groups of offshore warships, and more than a hundred large and small warships with various formation flags were used together, and quickly sailed to Osaka Bay. After leaving the entrance of Kawaguchi, he immediately looked for a suitable maritime battle formation.
At the same time, on the south bank of Kitsuchuan, a team of samurai and foot-light troops gathered in Tsuguchi and led the farmers to build defense.
The distance is too far, and the leader cannot be seen clearly on the three-pole of the Honanji Okawa, but the golden papaya pattern also has extraordinary recognition at a distance.
Lai Lian leaned out of the three-fold oar, narrowed his eyes and looked at him from afar, and looked back: "It's Oda. They built fortifications along the coast to make up for the weakness of fighting against the Akira's feather arrows in the naval battle. He wanted to block Osaka Bay by means of sea and land attack, and to cut off the connection between Muzin Village and Ishiyama, and to cut off my supplies."
Muzin Village is on the other side of the Kitsu River, guarded by the Honanji Temple Lord. Without removing monks from the strongholds in the country of Sezu, Oda cannot siege Shishan on a large scale.
"Oda's ship is coming, and the Ming Dynasty's warship is not far away." Honanji Masaru twisted the rosary in front of his chest with both hands, looking at the sea as usual, and he was still thinking about expressing his feelings: "The Maori that was once extremely powerful will be defeated by these Ming Dynasty ships. Let them fight, we don't have to fight."
"Don't go out to fight? When the Ai Ship comes to fight, our Ichikki in Izuda Castle will attack Sukiyoshi with the flow, and we will be able to seize the port with all our strength!"
"so what?"
Xianru sighed and recited Namo Amitabha Buddha, saying, "Oda is the enemy of Buddha, Maori is not, Maori is weak, and the Ming general still transports food to us, hoping that we can help him hold Oda and control Japanese trade."
"They control Nagasaki, Hakata, Izumo, and if they acquire Osaka, Sakai, and Akira warships, they can reach Kyoto."
Control the trade, friends, go straight to Kyoto, friends!
Xianru stared at Lai Lian, the lower body, and said, "Do you understand what this means?"
Lai Lian blinked his eyes, and his big bald head was shining: "The Ming army drove away Xin Changgong, and the Dharma Lord went to Luo?"
As soon as I become a monk, what will happen to Luo?
Before Nobunaga went to Luo, the young monk was walking around Kyoto all day long without anyone caring about it!
"I am afraid that the Ming army will go to Luo. The Ming Dynasty will use the imperial edict to help the king to fight against rebellion to gather the princes in Guanxi for their use. However, Duke Xin Chang was not convinced to form troops to resist. Duke Xin Chang wanted to destroy our sect. The young monk wanted to recruit believers from all over the world to resist him, hoping to replace others to control the capital." Xianru curled his lips slightly, revealing a little unwilling to say: "No matter who wins this naval battle, the young monk is unwilling to accept it... It's a pity that Duke Huiyuan!"
People in the capital still don’t know why the once powerful Maori family was cut off by only thousands of Ming troops in the decisive battle, and they didn’t know how the Oto family expanded its power to Shanyang Road. In the Warring States Period, the turbulent and changing times became increasingly chaotic due to the addition of the Ming Dynasty.
On the boundless sea, Xiaozao, the warships that were connected to each other roared from the Seto Inland Sea, forming a huge shadow between the sky and the sea. The heavy Ming war drums on the jail were beaten, and the Japanese pirates who were shooting guns and swords responded loudly, and the momentum was shocking.
The ship was divided into five teams, and the troops were arranged from the sea. Five huge warships with Chinese script came from the shadows, breaking through the waves and protruding across the front of the formation.
