Seeing with satisfaction that all the Chinese people were stunned, Yu Qiuping took his eyes away from them and looked to the other side - where Master Nakajima and other monks were sitting. Yu Qiuping understood that compared to those Chinese people,
These monks are much more difficult to deal with.
As early as more than ten years ago in Mikawa, Yu Qiuping first witnessed the fanaticism of the Ichibashi clan. Normally honest farmers, as long as these Honganji monks raised their arms, they would risk their lives to launch a riot for the Honganji Temple. That year
The Mikawa Kingdom's Yikui almost beat the newly born Tokugawa regime half to death. Most of Mikawa fell into the hands of fanatical believers. The area outside Okazaki City is full of Yiyikui's forces.
After that, Yu Qiuping came to Hanoi Izumi, and he had no idea of ​​becoming an enemy of the Ichigo clan. Although the behemoth could not mobilize many monk soldiers, as long as the Honganji Temple raised its arms, it could pull out tens of thousands in an instant.
Farmers came to kill him, and at the same time, countless farmers in his own territory would rise up with hoes and rakes. Therefore, Yu Qiuping had been licking his face carefully when dealing with Honganji, for fear of offending them.
Oda Nobunaga is obviously not as easy to give in as Akihei Ame. He is not afraid of anything. Whenever he sees someone standing in front of him, he wants to chop him with a knife. However, even a tough guy like Oda Nobunaga has repeatedly tried to kill him before
Many of the Oda family's relatives died in the uprising of the Ichijo sect members. When Oda Nobunaga himself first attacked Nagashima, he suffered a disastrous defeat. Honganji Temple designated Oda Nobunaga as an enemy of Buddhism and even gave him
He caused so much trouble that Buddhists all over the country hated him.
Even though Oda Nobunaga and the Ichiko sect were incompatible with each other, he still did not dare to ban the religious beliefs of the Ichiko sect within his territory. If he implemented such a ban, the monks of the Ichiko sect would take the opportunity to incite dissatisfaction.
The public can immediately detonate the entire territory of the Oda family. Oda Nobunaga did not even dare to confiscate the temple territory unscrupulously - this will also meet with stubborn resistance from believers. In Japan, the power of temples has had the "guardian who cannot enter" since ancient times.
"The privilege of "" is a lawless place that is not subject to the jurisdiction of secular lords. Although this privilege has long been violated by the daimyo during the Warring States Period, it is still an unspoken rule between the temple and the samurai family. Even within the territory of the Oda family,
There are still some territories belonging to temple communities.
However, in Kii, Yu Qiuping could not leave the temple territory alone. Because these temple forces controlled too much land and population in the already barren Kii, if the land and population could not be snatched away from them,
, the resources that the Yuqiu family can use are quite limited - the Congress businessmen will not agree. At the same time, these hostile temple forces staying behind are also an invisible hidden danger.
Therefore, Yu Qiupei must snatch the territory of the temple community from them. Not only the territory of Honganji Temple, but also the territory of other religions must not be spared.

"Everyone, I believe you have heard what I just said. I also want to treat the temple's territory with the same standards and sign a lease agreement with you. What do you think?" Yu Qiuping looked at the monks sitting in the hall.
People, whispered and tried in a somewhat subtle tone.
"Idiots are talking about dreams." Sure enough, Master Nakajima choked back without mercy again and said: "The territory of the temple is given by gods and Buddhas, how can it be given to the hands of merchants?"
"middle
Master Dao is exaggerating." Yu Qiuping shook his head when he heard this, and retorted with a smile, "As far as I know, Kii's temple territory was either donated by believers, or it was entrusted by common people who could not repay their debts to hide in the name of the temple.
How can debt collectors and taxes be said to be given by God?"
"It's nonsense." Master Nakajima glanced at Yu Qiuping again, "Believers are grateful to the gods and Buddhas for their salvation, and they offer soil to connect to the next life. Isn't it not a gift from the gods and Buddhas?"
"If you say yes, that's right." Yu Qiuping seemed to have no intention of arguing with the monk on this, but continued directly, "Just using such a reason to reject the agreement would be a little less sincere. What is the master thinking?
How can everyone here not understand? You obviously don’t want to give up the territory, so why bother putting money on your face? Just say no?”
Yu Qiupei's words were so unpleasant that all the monks present looked sulky. However, because Yu Qiupei had threatened Oda Nobunaga's Nagashima Massacre before, they did not dare to take action for a while. Master Nakajima was shocked by Yu Qiupei.
Qiuping's face turned purple with anger at his words. He pointed at Yu Qiuping's face and hesitated for a long time, but for a while he couldn't say anything.
"I'll be honest, the Yuqiu family will never make any concessions to your territory. If you say you want to take it back, you will definitely take it back." Yu Qiuping tapped the table with his knuckles.
Knocked, "I just want to give you a decent way now, let you sign a lease agreement, so that you can still have a compensation. If you don't agree, I have to ask the Hongye Army to come and talk to you."
However, although the monks present were slightly worried about Yu Qiuping's words, none of them bowed their heads to admit defeat. Instead, they all sat upright, seemingly confident in their own strength.
Yu Qiuping understands that their confidence is not without reason. In Kii, the proportion of Yixiang sect believers is far higher than that in other areas. If Yu Qiuping really rashly starts a war with the temple, he will not only have to face monk soldiers, but also fall into the vast ocean of people's war.
In the sea. By then, the entire supply line from Hanoi Izumi to Kii may not be open, and the Hongye Army may once again fall into a supply crisis. A big factor in the success of Yu Qiupei's attack on Kii was his wish.
The temple has not mobilized the people of Kii Province to aid the people of Kii Country - because the people of Kii Country have offended them by forcibly confiscating food and grass. If the Honganji Temple and the people of Kii Country unite together, Yu Qiuping may not be able to rely on his own hands.
These people suppressed them.
Moreover, Yu Qiuping did not want to do anything against the civilians. These precious people and labor forces are urgently needed by the factories in Sakai Town, so how can they be allowed to die under their own guns? Therefore, unless they go to
In the last step, Yu Qiuping would not use force to attack the temple. Presumably those monks had the confidence to support Yu Qiuping, and they must have considered this.
Seeing that the negotiation seemed to be at an impasse, Commander Tsuda hurriedly cleared his throat and came out to smooth things over and said: "Masters, please forgive me, His Highness Jibu. Please calm down your anger. If both sides have any opinions, please just say it. It doesn't matter. Don't make it a war."
That's the situation." After saying that, Commander Tsuda frequently looked at another moderate monk, Master Yishua, as if he was giving him a wink. Master Yishua hesitated for a long time, finally sighed, lowered his posture and whispered:
"Can you give us a reason why His Highness Jibu wanted to take back the temple's territory? We have been rooted here for several generations.
I have never been an enemy of His Majesty the Government. Such cunning and plundering will inevitably lead to the loss of the world's population, right?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Yu Qiuping's attitude today seems to be tougher than ever before, leaving no room for maneuver. "I won't say anything high-sounding. Basically, the factory in Sakai needs workers, so we need only
At present, temples control a large number of people. We need to liberate them and not let them work for you. It is as simple as that. It is good for us and the common people. If you are willing to take money, it will be a win-win-win situation.
situation."
As soon as Yu Qiuping said these words, even Takenaka Shigeharu and Amano Keitoku frowned slightly. Even if they are determined to go to the Whale House, they still have to build a memorial arch! Even if they say something high-sounding, they want to let the people live a good life.
In this way, those weak monks also have a way to agree to Yu Qiuping's conditions. But Yu Qiuping has completely stopped talking, how can the monks answer the question?
Sure enough, as soon as Yu Qiuping said this, there were faint curses and disdain in the crowd again. The monks all stared at Yu Qiuping with angry eyes, as if they wanted to eat him alive, but Yu Qiuping was actually happy to do so.
comfortable.
Seeing that Yu Qiuping showed no regrets, Master Nakajima was the first to be unable to bear it any longer. He stood up silently, shook his clothes, and walked away. Two crow ninjas tried to stop him, but Yu Qiuping waved his hand.
Stopped. Seeing that Yu Qiuping seemed to have no intention of embarrassing them, many monks left one after another. Seeing that the people were almost gone, Yu Qiuping motioned to Mori Ranmaru to write down the names of the people who left. Then he laughed.
After announcing the adjournment of the meeting, we arranged for the people of the country to send someone from each home to follow Yu Qiuping to visit Sakai Town.
·
After the meeting, Takenaka Shigeharu and Amano Keitoku found Yu Qiuping with some confusion. Yu Qiuping did not leave, as if waiting for them to ask.
"Are you going to ask me why I am so determined?" Yu Qiuping smiled and spread his hands.
"Your Highness is right..." Takenaka Shigeharu nodded, "Your Highness, does he have a deep meaning in it?"
"Didn't Gonbei tell me to be tougher this time?" Yu Qiuping glanced at Amano Keitoku, then at Takenaka Shigeharu, "Hanbei, didn't you agree at the time?"
"But... being tough doesn't mean being tough." Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head upon hearing this, "The negotiation broke down, didn't it?"
"The method adopted by His Highness is very strange. It is not His usual style." Amano Kyoutoku interjected coldly from the side, "If what I expected is correct, Your Highness should have such confidence because he has a back-up plan."
"Yes, you guessed it right." Yu Qiuping smiled and nodded, "And that idea came to me during today's negotiation."
"Is Your Highness treating this hard-won negotiation opportunity so hastily just because of an impromptu idea?" Takenaka Shigeharu whispered with some dissatisfaction, "Your Highness must know that the consequences of this are serious. When the temple community negotiates next time,
It will only be more troublesome."
"It's okay. I have a way to treat them, but it may take some time and some manpower." Yu Qiu nodded confidently, "You also need an ID."
