Chapter 500: The Autumn Harvest Riot

After some bargaining, the messenger of the Kikuchi family finally reached an agreement with Honanji Sakai. The Kikuchi family got the results he needed, but Honanji Sakai also developed a huge plan.

Honanji Naoji Naoji intends to launch the Isaac Ikki that runs across the entire Kyushu. Although the power of the Isaac Sect in the rest of Kyushu is actually very weak, Honanji Naoji Naoji intends to contact forces such as the aboriginal Hayato of Satsuma Osumi to launch this Isaac Ikki. It is not to be able to overthrow the rule of the local lord, but to deepen the influence of the Isaac Sect in Kyushu, so that the Isaac Sect can officially enter the political stage of Kyushu and create achievements like the Renji of Honanji.

Just when Honanji Naoji began to plan the plan to spread across the entire Kyushu, Masara was already busy with government affairs in the territory. After the battle with the Otomo family, Masarara formally ordered the demolition of the built Puchi Castle, the Notsutsu Temple and the Hittsu Castle, and the original temporary castle at the foot of the Kyoro Mountain was officially built as a checkpoint to enter and exit the Otomo family's territory.

The teams participating in the battle this time also returned to their original garrisons after receiving the rewards according to their military merits.

After this war, the Xiao Dai family of Feihou officially exposed the fact that he surrendered to the Luo family. Zhengliang simply asked someone to set up checkpoints in various passages of Feihou Yuming County, and officially included Feihou Yuming County in the jurisdiction of the Luo family.

However, this action really surprised the Otsuyama family and the Horen family near Kodai's family. They were afraid that the Luo family would attack them at this time, so they sent envoys to come and make friends with gifts. In addition to these two families, the Kusino family and the Five Island Navy members also sent people to make friends with them.

Masayoshi accepted the good-for-working actions of these wealthy families. After all, the autumn harvest is approaching. Moreover, after just experiencing the war with the Otomo family, the soldiers also needed to rest. Moreover, Masayoshi also intends to temporarily paralyze these wealthy families, and then secretly prepare for arms while taking advantage of this period of time to recuperate and make some progress.

After handling military and diplomatic affairs, Zhengliang inspected the preparations for the autumn harvest. During the inspection, Zhengliang found that most of the farming in the territory relied on manpower, while the plow, as one of the important farming tools, was not popularized.

Ploughs are an extremely important production tool in the history of agricultural development. Although some ploughs have been introduced to Fusang from China, what makes Zhengliang strange is that these agricultural tools have not become popular in the local area. However, when he came here, he felt relieved when he thought that those people didn't even know about the ashes fertilization method.

Then I thought about it again and found that these plows require oxen or horses as power to be used, but plowing oxen and horses are valuable assets for ordinary people. And even if some people are willing to use it, they use humans instead of pasture and livestock to pull these plows to cultivate the land, so the popularity rate will naturally be low.

Now, there are many horses that cannot even become war horses in the Luo family, and the time to promote the plowing plow naturally ripe. So Masayoshi personally designed a plow from later generations according to memory. Then he handed it over to Tadjiro, who was responsible for building the farm tools, and asked him to find some carpenters and blacksmiths. He was responsible for making this plow. After trial, if the effect is good, he started to build it in large quantities and then promoted it in the territory of the Luo family. Masayoshi also named this plow, called the Plowing plow.

Just when Masaru was busy with territorial affairs, he finally received an urgent report from Akaba Nobusuke Yoshiki Castle. It turned out that after Kikuchi Yoshitake reached an agreement with Honanji, he secretly wanted the Luo family to participate in this plan and ordered people to secretly tell Akaba Nobusuke the Ikki plan they were about to promote. Akaba Nobusuke, who knew the important matter, immediately sent the information to Masaru.

Masayoro was shocked when he saw it. There was also a Yixiangsong in Kyushu. According to his understanding of history, it seems that almost all the forces of the Yixiangsong are concentrated in the Kinki area, the Hokuriku area (Kaga, Ekima, Ekima), the Tokai area (Mikawa, Ohachi, Mino), the Hikata area bordering the Ekima, and the Chinese area (Anyi, Bomo, Beiqian, Beizhong). Now, Yixiangsong has appeared in Kyushu?

In surprise, Masara no longer cared about the plan of Kikuchi Yoshito and Honanji, nor did he care about the suggestion of Akaba Nobunosuke's plan. Instead, he directly ordered people to find military advisors Kakukuma Ishisou and Yamamoto Kansuke, as well as Kuikawa Shoki and Genji, who were responsible for the management of the territory's temple shrines.

"Lord, I must participate in the matter of the Queen of Wealth, but compared with the Queen of Wealth, I should pay more attention to the situation of the Xianxiangsect in my territory." Yamamoto Kanasuke, who had traveled all over the world and knew the powerful sect, said first.

"These fake monks are the scum of Buddhism and should be wiped out." Compared to Yamamoto Kazusuke, Kuaikawa Shaoqi, and Genji, the two of them had more intense attitudes.

Why do they hate Yixiangsect so much? This starts with the rise of Yixiangsect. After the Yingren Rebellion, Japan suffered many wars. People were living in dire straits. From ministers to common people, they all hoped to be liberated through religion. Some sects that advocated simplified practice came into being, and the Nichiren Sect evolved from Tiantai Sect is one of them. The Nichiren Sect advocated that believers could cultivate themselves and become Buddhas by chanting the "Dharma Lotus Sutra" day and night. The Pure Land Sect that emerged at the same time

It is simpler. Propaganda does not need to be released through temples. Just chant "Namo Amitabha" every day to reduce sins and escape from the sea of ​​suffering. The transformation of Pure Land Sect after Pure Land Sect went even more extreme. All the rules and precepts were abolished, and believers could achieve the right result without even becoming monks. Pure Land Sect vigorously advocated the reliance of the so-called evil people, attracting a large number of soldiers, warriors, and thieves to believe in religion. Only with faith in the Buddha can disciples of Pure Land Sect be reborn in the "Pure Land".

Yixiangsect, which caused a huge disaster during this period, was the birthplace of the Honan Temple in Pure Land Zhenzong. The eighth generation master of Yixiangsect, Monk Lianru from the Honan Temple, personally went to rural areas in various places to preach, attracting a large number of disciples. The farmers spontaneously organized and established a farmer association with a church-like nature. They practiced together, but more often they gathered to discuss various affairs in the village. Due to the war, such a farmer association gradually evolved into an armed self-defense organization. The connection between the village and the village was connected.

After closeness, the peasant associations became stronger. They often joined forces to fight for land rent, even drove away the lords, and established a political organization that integrates politics and religion. This is the origin of Yikki. Due to these peasant riots, many vassal states fell into anarchy, such as Kaga, which is known as the "country of the people". Asakura's military god Asakura Sodi has been fighting with them for most of his life. Ikki forces in various places have also heard of the news that they met with each other due to conflicts of interest.

With the rapid development of Yixiangsect, the old Buddhist sects were overwhelmed in a short period of time. Therefore, as the representative of the old sect who believed in self-cultivation, Xuanzhi naturally would not have a good impression of Yixiangsect.

Compared to Yamamoto Kazusuke, Kurakawa Shoki, and Genji, Kakukuma Shisen had never witnessed the Ikki launched by the Ikki, but he also knew that many temples in Kyushu had a large number of monk soldiers, and these temples were actually a local tyrant family, so he also realized that if such temples that could easily incite the people to exist, the rule of the territory would also be an extremely serious problem.

"Lord, this matter should be deployed carefully. Taking this opportunity to uproot the hidden forces in the territory." After thinking for a while, Kakukuma Shisou gave a direct suggestion.

"Well, this statement is reasonable!" Zhengliang nodded and said.
