Warring States Eagle

() The third thing Kamiya Shaoce asked for was to become a retainer of the Luo family.

Zhengliang was very surprised by this request from Kamiya Shaoce.Although the Kamiya family is not very good now, but a few years later, with Kamiya Shaozhan, the son of Kamiya Shaoce, taking charge of the family, the Kamiya family will develop at a rapid speed, and finally become the top three wealthy merchants in the Warring States Period.Moreover, it is said that the ancestors of the Kamiya family were originally high officials of the shogunate, so the Kamiya family has a lot of heritage.Such a future wealthy businessman's sudden request to become a retainer of Luo's family made Zheng Liang feel a little sudden.

But Zhengliang soon found it ridiculous.The reason why he felt sudden was entirely because he knew the future development of the Kamiya family, so he preconceived that the Kamiya family was awesome.But Kamiya Shaoce himself doesn’t know these things. From Kamiya Shaoce’s point of view, the Kamiya family is just a businessman in Hakata who can barely be counted. If you want to get greater development and status, you have to rely on the big tree .And he thinks that Luo's family is such a big tree, and it is a big tree that is thriving. This is a great time to join the Luo's family, otherwise it will be later, and it will not be his turn to the Shenwu family. up.So he came today, and took out the treasures in his home as gifts, hoping to be recruited by the Luo family.

Of course, Zhengliang accepted such a talent without hesitation, and he also promised to accept Shenwu Shaoce's son, Shenwu Shaozhan, as his surname.In addition, Zhengliang officially appointed Kamiya Shaoce as the business executive of the cabinet, and is fully responsible for the snow salt workshop and commercial affairs of the territory.At the same time, a territory of [-] shi was set aside in Karatsu Bay near Kishigake Castle as the fiefdom of the Kamiya family.at last.He even taught some methods of Rakushi Leza to Kamiya, and asked him to go to Togo Heiji to discuss it, and then try to implement it in the territory.

Of course, in order to better cooperate with the intelligence work in the territory, Zhengliang asked Kamiya Shaoce to temporarily conceal his identity as a retainer of the Luo family, but continued to operate in Hakata as a businessman, and then secretly cooperated with Muzo Shigetada's detective to carry out intelligence in various places collect.

After receiving Zhengliang's award, Kamiya Shaoce immediately went to perform his duties.First of all, he had to find Togo Heiji and discuss with him about taking over the snow salt workshop and the business of the general territory, and follow the owner's method.Agreed on the implementation of Leshi Leza in the territory of the Luo family.The second is to find Muzo Shigetada and discuss gathering information through the business routes of the Kamiya family.Finally, and most importantly, the family members of the family were immediately moved to live outside the city of Anyue, and at the same time, some clan members were gradually moved to live in the territory entrusted to him by the patriarch, and even some assets were transferred to the fief.Doing so not only expresses loyalty to the head of the family, but also avoids risks.After all, there are many forces in Bodo, and there are struggles and dangers all the time.

After sending away Shenwu Shaoce.Zhengliang started to get busy again.This time, he was mainly busy dealing with those wealthy families.Just as Zheng Liang expected, seeing his original fief was deprived, and then his relatives were separated, many defeated local tyrants began to rebel.Fortunately, Zheng Liang had put most of the main personnel of the wealthy families under house arrest beforehand, so there were only a few wealthy families who made trouble.

> In front of the overwhelming strength of the Luo family, they were crushed into powder one after another.

Of course, among these people are also people who know current affairs.Nafuxinjing is such a representative.As a retainer of the original Longzouji family, he later became an important minister of the elder of Longxin's family.The veteran ministers who helped the Longzao family formulate state affairs had a more thorough view of the overall situation.The last time when the Shaoer family besieged the Longzaosi family, Nafu Xinjing escaped by chance. After the Longzaosi family was destroyed, he resolutely chose to return to his own territory and live in seclusion. When the family forces withdrew from Zuojia County, they competed with the Luo family for territory.Under such a good opportunity, he just let the family choose to wait and see what happened, and did not act rashly.

Obviously, he saw the general situation clearly.Now.When he received the request from the Luo family to move his family to Matsuura County, although his clan members were quite dissatisfied, he forcibly suppressed this dissatisfaction. Not only did he actively cooperate with the request of the Luo family, he even came forward to persuade those The families who attempted to resist cooperated.He knew very well that the resistance of these families was undoubtedly the result of Mantis being overwhelmed.

Zhengliang appreciated Nafu Shinkei's act of knowing the current affairs, and immediately recruited him as a retainer, Xu Yimin took up the post, and asked him to assist Togo Heiji to continue the migration of the wealthy family and some of the people.As for Nafushinjing's family, Zheng Liang did not break up, but instead entrusted a territory in Matsuura County for Nafushinjing's family to settle down again.

With the help of Nafu Xinjing, a local snake, the work of immigration seemed much smoother.Many wealthy families did not resist anymore.For Zhengliang, he is also happy to see such a result.His original purpose was to move these powerful families and their relatives out of the three counties of Xiaocheng County, Zuojia County and Kanzaki County, and separate them from the original people.Then join the retainers who support the new system of the Luo family as lords, and finally move in some of the people who support the Luo family from other counties.In order to achieve control over the new territory, and completely eliminate hidden dangers in these areas.

For those powerful families, if they cooperate, the whole family will be relocated to the old territory of the Luo family, and then surrounded by the territories of other Luo family members and the people who have supported the Luo family for a long time, and finally slowly blend in. If the Luo family resists, not only will they be suppressed, but the mastermind and the male relatives will be killed, and the rest of the relatives will be scattered and placed in the old territory of the Luo family, almost directly exterminated.

Under the policy of carrots and sticks, the migration work is gradually on the right track.

At this time, a new problem appeared again.The root of the problem lies in those temples.Regarding the issue of temples, first of all, I would like to talk about the situation in Nishimatsuura.Almost all of Nishimatsupo County is occupied by temples that believe in Zen. These temples believe in benevolence, helping the world, sitting in meditation and enlightening the Tao, and there will be no monks and soldiers.Not to mention not occupying a lot of land, the most important thing is to cooperate with the laws of the Luo family. Even if some fields are occupied, taxes will be paid according to the laws of the Luo family.Of course, this is mainly inseparable from the efforts of Master Xuanzhi, the main representative of Zen Buddhism.

But Zen is only more prevalent in Nishimatsuura, which is relatively remote.But in other areas, such as Nanmatsuura, Xiaocheng County, Saka County and other areas, other various sects are prevalent.These temples not only occupy a large amount of land, some even have monks and soldiers.Simply a rich man.In addition to temples, there are also those shrines.

These temples and shrines occupy land to receive offerings.Spread the faith to the local people, and also help cure some minor injuries and illnesses, and pray for blessings and so on.The influence is huge, and it is a force that cannot be ignored no matter what time it is.The most famous one is the Ichigo Sect. They once mobilized 10,000+ people in the Kaga Kingdom to establish the so-called 'Buddhist Kingdom on Earth'.

In the past, it was due to the cooperation of temples and shrines, so Zhengliang didn't worry too much, and was happy to live in peace with them.But with the expansion of the Luo family's territory, the problems of these temples and shrines became apparent.Especially these days.There have been reports from investigators that some temples and shrines have begun to secretly incite the citizens.Resist the Roche family's immigration efforts.

"Hmph, these damned guys." Zheng Liang said angrily.

"It seems that these temples and shrines have to be dealt with." Akabane Shinnosuke said.

"This matter involves a lot, and I'm afraid it won't be resolved overnight." Said Kakukuma Ishimune, who is well aware of the power of temples and shrines.

"I have already considered this matter." Zheng Liang was about to say that he had already thought of a countermeasure.

At this time, Takeshi Murakami came in to report, and Master Xuanzhi and Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi asked to see him outside the city.Zheng Liang was pleasantly surprised immediately, because his strategy needed the cooperation of some authentic monks, and the arrival of the two of them just resolved the matter.

So Zhengliang immediately summoned the two masters.Then I talked with them in detail for a full day, and finally persuaded the two masters to help deal with this matter.

On July [-]th of the tenth year of Tianwen, a group of leaders suddenly came outside a temple in Xiaocheng County, crying and complaining that the monks of the temple had robbed the women of the people.Just when the temple monks were about to forcibly drive away these unreasonable leaders, a group of murderous soldiers from the Luo family suddenly came, and after receiving the complaints from the leaders, they forcibly entered the temple.Sure enough, a few imprisoned women were found there.Therefore, these soldiers arrested all the monks in the temple without hesitation, and those who tried to resist were killed directly.

Knowing this, Zheng Liang took it very seriously and went to interrogate the monks himself.But during the public trial.Under the eyes of the crowd, he was assassinated by several monks. Although Zheng Liang escaped, the monks who were assassinated also escaped.In a rage, Zheng Liang ordered a comprehensive search of all temples in the territory, threatening to find out the real culprit.

The search first started from Xiaocheng County, Zuojia County, and Kanzaki County. Taking advantage of the newly defeated tyrants around Luo's family, he was busy hiding at home and licking his wounds, so he mobilized some guards from the cities near the border. Temples in the three counties were searched.

At the same time, a large number of citizens suddenly appeared and began to cry to the Luo family about the crimes committed in those temples and even shrines, and after the Luo family searched, they also found conclusive evidence.Thus, a round of cleansing of temples and shrines began.Under a round of extremely rapid and forcible suppression, some people in these temples were killed directly, some people were forcibly returned to secular life as leaders, and some people disappeared since then, leaving only some who obeyed the order and were willing to surrender monk.

Before the surrounding people figured out what was going on, the temples returned to calm, but the abbots and even the Buddha they worshiped there were changed.And similar things happened in those shrines. The leaders soon discovered that the priests of the original shrines had disappeared, and some new priests had been replaced, or some friendly priests from the original shrines had become new priests.

In just half a month, the temples and shrines in Ojo County, Saka County, and Kanzaki County have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhengliang sent people to arrange those people who avenged their grievances. Similarly, those so-called assassins were also arranged by Zhengliang. Even the evidence of those temples was planted by soldiers of the Luo family when they searched. Of course, many of them were real. The evidence is solid.Everything was designed and arranged by Zheng Liang himself.First use these things to mislead and confuse the surrounding citizens, and discredit those temples and shrines.Of course, since the influence of those temples and shrines on the surrounding people has long been deeply rooted, Zhengliang's only purpose in doing this is to temporarily divert the attention of the people, and then find an excuse to enter the temples and shrines.

Then it is to frame the blame, and even really eliminate the harm for the people.Finally, it is to quickly screen these temple personnel. After half a month of investigation by Luo's family, they can basically grasp certain information and directly kill those evil people. The bad people are secretly transferred and then killed, and some uncooperative but not heinous people are directly forcibly returned to the vulgarity as a leader, placed in the slave team for reform, and finally only those who are kind and willing to cooperate are left behind. .

For temples and shrines that have lost their territories, under normal circumstances, some people are directly drawn from various Zen temples in Nishimatsuura to live in these temples and act as new managers.In the case of insufficient manpower, let some people who are willing to cooperate to host.The shrine's treatment method is similar, but because there is no replacement, some people from the shrine in Matsuura County who have surrendered to the Luo family early in the morning have to be recruited as new priests, or simply let people who are willing to cooperate act as new priests.

As for the land of the temples and shrines, they were all returned to the control of the Luos family either voluntarily or forcibly confiscated by the Luos family.

"Two masters, I am going to implement the method of Dudu in the territory. In the future, no matter whether temples or shrines, they must obtain Dudu before they can build temples and shrines in their own territory; Preaching within the territory of the family, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of the law and arrested." A month later, Zhengliang said to Xuanzhi and Kuaichuan Shaoxi in the meeting hall of the village city.

"His Royal Highness Zhengliang can make his own decision. The two poor monks are devoted to enlightenment, so they won't be too involved in this matter." Master Xuanzhi said.He and Kuaichuan Shaoxi originally planned to come back to check on Hizen's situation, and then calmly enlightened, but they encountered such a thing.

Zheng Liang also knew the temperament of the two of them very well, so he only asked them for two things.One is that the Luo family plans to vigorously promote Zen Buddhism in the territory, which believes in meditation and enlightenment.This requires the cooperation of those Zen temples in Nishi-Matsuura County.The second is to hope that when necessary, the two of them can act as highly respected eminent monks and come forward to deal with some temple affairs.In this regard, the two finally agreed.
