Pillars of the Wu family

In the front town of Miaoxin Temple, a tall and strong man monk with a beard and a beard suddenly appeared. Pointing the ring scar is simply a size-reduced flower monk Lu Zhishen, whose name is Chaoshan Richeng.

"Tanyue wait a moment! The poor monk sees that Tanyue has a bone on his forehead and a luminous glow in his eyes, which can be called a great blessing! Let the poor monk do a fortune telling for Tanyue!" The strong man Zhaoshan Richeng stopped a man who was about to go to Miaoxin Temple to worship Buddha of pilgrims.

The pilgrim was a resident of the nearby towns, and when he suddenly encountered a fierce-looking monk blocking the way, he shivered in fright: "Master... is the master talking to me?"

"Exactly!" Asayama Hinjo nodded solemnly.

"Do I really have a noble face?" The pilgrim looked at Asayama Nichijo in disbelief, who nodded in cooperation, and added: "Not only is it a great fortune, but also a lot of blessings... ...No! I have to take a closer look! Come and sit here for me, this poor monk is proficient in reading and palm reading, His Highness Nizi Qingjiu from the Western Kingdom showed me the reading when he was young, I believe I will never be wrong!"

"Okay! Master, please take a closer look for me!" The pilgrim suddenly showed a look of embarrassment: "It's just that the villain doesn't have much money on him, except for the two incense oil money for worshiping Buddha, what should I do if I only have five hundred Wen?"

Asayama Hichijo's eyelids twitched, and then he showed an impeccable smile and said, "It's okay, as long as Tan Yue is sincere, it doesn't matter if you pay five hundred cash or five pennies."

"This is really embarrassing! I can only make up the money when I see the master next time!"

There are still many bluffing monks like Asayama Nichijo. With the convenient passage between Shiga and Takashima counties, the influence of Miaoun Temple spread to the entire Omi country in a few days. As the main force in the county, Gao Seven heads of the island immediately converted to the Miaoxin Temple sect, and some of them brought their relatives to Miaoyun Temple to worship the Buddha.

The role of role models is huge. Not long after Kirayoshi and the lord of Takashima County entered and exited Miaoun Temple, the leaders of Shiga and Takashima counties showed signs of converting to Linji sect on a large scale. Within the Katada people, because of the issue of belief, they quickly divided into several factions. They opposed each other and had violent conflicts. It didn't take long for this group of people to cause the Katada Issoumen riot.

The so-called Yixiangzong riot in Jiantian was a serious conflict between a group of disciples of Yixiangzong who gathered and believers of Miaoyun Temple in Jiantian. This incident caused an uproar and was regarded as a serious incident challenging the authority of the Kira family.

Yoshishi Kira received the news immediately and ordered Omi to arrest the suspect. It took only three days to complete the process of arrest, investigation, interrogation, judgment, and execution to announce the location of Katada, along with the announcement of the verdict. , He also issued a decree banning Yixiangzong together. He is showing the world that he will completely eliminate the strong will of Yixiangzong.

This was beyond the expectations of many people, and the Katada people were stunned and didn't know what to do, because there were so many witnesses when the incident broke out, and the Katada people couldn't deny it, and they couldn't explain why they wanted to protest. The believers of the Tiantai Sect within the Jiantian Clan are also staring at them. If there is any trouble, they will definitely not mind. , this existence that usually doesn't care about or even hostile to.

But they were quickly disappointed. Ishiyama Honganji's reaction to this incident was very ambiguous, which dissatisfied many disciples of the Ichizo sect in Omi. They had no choice but to leave Katada after the promulgation of the ban on the Ichizo sect and ran to the east bank of Lake Biwa Evacuated in Asai County.

A small number of Yiyizong believers who could not leave their homeland were also forced to give up their belief in Yiyizong on the surface, and converted to Tiantai Sect or Linjizong Miaoxin Temple Sect. Soon afterward, Jian Tianzhong made a decision internally. First, they found Kuai Chuan, the abbot of Miaoyun Temple Sect. Shaoxi apologized to him sincerely and took care of the compensation for the families of the victims.

Afterwards, I asked Kaikawa Shoki to subdue the Kira family. The leaders of the Katada congregation, Inokaino Sado Mamoru Nobuo, brought Baba Zenemon, Takeuchi Kuroemon, Ihatsuichi Roemon, and Kaze Saburoemon, Uchidenemon, Juchuhachiroemon, Kimura Anbei, Tsujihachirobei and others presented an oath to Kira Yoshitoki and voluntarily joined the Kira Navy.

As a result, a major hidden danger in the North Omi River was completely eliminated. At the same time, after controlling the Yodo River, the Kira Navy completely controlled the west bank of Lake Biwa, becoming one of the best inland river navy in Kinki.

Because of this incident, Myounji Temple suddenly became the largest power in Katada, and more and more merchants came and went, even tending to be comparable to Kyoto and Sakaimachi, because Katada was born in another smaller port in the north of Sakamoto. , is also the only road leading to Sakamoto and Tsuruga by land. Many business travelers passing by will stop at the Monzen Town of Katada Myounji Temple to rest and pay homage to the Buddha.

Although Katada's status is getting higher and higher, the northward expansion strategy of Sakamoto Town is also regarded as the most important development link of the Kira House within this year. When inspecting the construction site of Sakamoto Castle Town, Hosokawa Fujitaka walked over with a stack of papers in a hurry , said: "It is estimated that the full implementation of the northward strategy will require [-] guanyongle coins, which will be mainly used for the expansion of Katada Town and port facilities. At the same time, a total of [-] guanyongle coins will be needed to cooperate with the northward expansion of Sakamoto Town. The construction period will continue until the end of the year. ! In addition, the construction of Otsu City is also under preparation and is expected to start construction after the autumn harvest, plus the expansion of Otsu Town and the port, it is estimated to cost [-] kanbu."

"One 1 guan, one [-] guan, [-] guan Yongle money is gone in the blink of an eye? This is really a waste of money!" Yoshiki Kira said.

He has no objection to such a high cost. Infrastructure construction is an essential link. The advantage of unified planning is that the development of each town is at the same pace, and various institutions in the town are complete. With the cooperation of the three major towns of Otsu, he is very confident that most of Omi's funds will be attracted here.

Moreover, so many new towns are built to pave the way for attracting the population. Currently, the new towns under construction in Sakamoto have been fully booked by a long line. There are three new towns that have started to be built one after another, and it will not take half a year to attract tens of thousands of people waiting to be resettled.

Population can bring taxes and taxes, and the original population of the two counties of Shiga Takashima can no longer support a larger-scale military service. In particular, the Otsu area was deprived of [-] strong men due to the impact of the Ichikui Incident, which made the area face The plight of a severe labor shortage, if not resolved in time, will have a huge impact on local agriculture.

The Kira family knew nothing about the impending crisis, and the plan to move northward in Sakamoto Town was still proceeding in an orderly manner. At the same time, Katada in the north and Otsu in the south also started construction. The entire Shiga County became a busy big city in early August. At the construction site, more than 1 people were recruited for general service, accounting for almost one-eighth of the total population of Shiga County.

Such a large-scale infrastructure construction not only shocked the Rokkaku clan and Asai clan in Omi, but also shocked the Ashikaga Yoshito of the shogunate. The topic in Kinai suddenly shifted from the battle between Miyoshi and Hatakeyama to the castle town of Kita Omi Many people are looking forward to what the new Shiga will look like.

But he didn't know that doing so just hit the sore spot of Enryaku-ji Temple. Enryaku-ji Temple is located on Mount Hiei in the northwest of Sakamoto. Because of the huge site of Enryaku-ji Temple, there are three pagodas, sixteen valleys and two other temples in the temple system. , where the East Tower

Under the jurisdiction of the North Valley, the East Valley, the South Valley, the West Valley, and Wudongsi Valley, the West Tower under the jurisdiction of the East Valley, the South Valley, the Nano Valley, the Kitao Valley, and the North Valley. different

It is Heigu and Anligu.

Among them, the East Pagoda is the most important. The main hall of the East Pagoda is the root hall. Grain Chia

Fortunately, it was in Sakamoto, and the straight-line distance from Sakamoto Castle was less than two miles. The direct leader of Enryaku Temple happened to be between Sakamoto and Katada. Since ancient times, this area has been regarded by Enryaku Temple as its sphere of influence.

From the perspective of Enryakuji Temple, General Ashikaga's family ran here to take refuge here, and they were taken in by Enryaku Temple. Of course, the Rokkaku family also saw it the same way, so General Ashikaga's family owed them, so they were ambitious in Kiragi. expand

The plan was quickly opposed by the monks in Enli Temple. They found Prince Yao Zunfa, the head of the Tiantai seat, and begged him to issue a decree, ordering Kira Yoshishi to immediately stop expanding the castle town, because doing so would violate the rights of Enli Temple. authority.

In the northeast of Jiantian, there is "Kiantian Luoyan", one of the eight scenic spots in Omi. Speaking of the eight scenic spots in Omi, it has a deep relationship with the Jinwei family. Under the warm hospitality, the left minister Konoe Masaga, who was rafting on Lake Biwa, wrote eight waka poems based on the eight scenery of Omi.

And this Jiantian Luoyan is talking about the scenery of the Fumidang of Manyue Temple, which was originally the seat of Haimen Mountain Manyue Temple of the Dade Temple School of Linjizong. The ancient temple established by Zen Master Genshin was captured by the magpie's nest of the Daitokuji Temple in the Muromachi period. After the Onin Rebellion, Honganji Temple's lotus entered and exited the field and gradually declined.

At this time, there were only some dilapidated scenes left in the Fumido of Mangetsu Temple. A few sneaky people gathered in front of the Fumido and whispered: "We must fight back!"

"It cannot be tolerated! We must sue the seat lord!"

"Be sure to sue! Go to the court and shogunate to seek justice!"

Several people were filled with righteous indignation and came up with an idea. One of them, an old man who looked like the leader, coughed twice, and said slowly, "No hurry! Let's go to the lord first and ask to punish this thief!"
