Chapter 1814 The Honganji Temple has descended(2/2)
The great foundation of Ishiyama Honganji Temple was handed over to others, and the success of the Yixiang clan's eight-year struggle was ruined in one day.
The blood of the Mikawa Ichiku sect, the Nagashima Ichiku sect, the Omi Ichiku sect, and the Hokurikudo Ichiku sect were all shed in vain, as were those of the houkan followers who died under the butcher's knife of the Oda family.
Honganji Hianru is such a good person who knows how to assess the situation. I have tried to think of the worst possible outcome that Ichibuki might accept, but none of them were as perfect as hers.
It is said in heaven that meat-eaters are despicable, so I will not deceive you sincerely. The reputation of the Honganji family has been ruined, and the Dharma Master's appeal to the followers of the Ichijo sect is over.
The believers are still fighting hard, so why did the Dharma Lord surrender first? It’s really a shame.”
Imai Munehisa shook his head, but Takada Yono didn't look down on Honganji Kenryo so much.
Ishiyama Honganji Temple has been cut off from all foreign aid. Even if it persists for another year and a half, what's the point?
Nagashima has always learned from the past, and if she offends Oda Nobunaga, she will really raise the butcher's knife.
Instead of trusting Oda Nobunaga's promise and letting others take advantage of him when he is at the end of his rope.
It would be better to take advantage of Mitsuhide Akechi's arrival and use the reputation of the Kyoto shogunate and the Shiba family sage to guarantee that Tai will evacuate Ishiyama peacefully, safely and honorably.
Although Takada Harano said that it has not been easy to start a business in recent years, she has never experienced the pain of being cornered with the support of the giant Buddha of Shiba Yiyin.
Even if she is as arrogant and arrogant as she is, she will not understand that the Honganji Temple appears to be surrounded by confusion in her heart.
To put it bluntly, Honganji Xianru is a rich second generation. She can stand on top of her ancestral business and give orders. But if she is really asked to make a difficult choice of life and death, how can she have the courage to risk everything?
Besides, Kii Country is a good place to go.
Although Suzuki Shigehide, the leader of the Zahe clan, was unwilling to go to Stone Mountain to wade in the muddy waters, she had to protect the Dharma Master when he arrived in the Kii Kingdom.
With the strength of Zagazo, Suzuki Shigehide still holds the title of Kii's guardian, and coupled with the guarantee given by Akechi Mitsuhide on behalf of the Shiba family, Honganji Kianru's personal safety is definitely guaranteed.
Peacefully Kaicheng and leaving with his cronies is the best result that Honganji Xianru can get. As for the dissatisfaction and humiliation within the Yixiang Sect, how can his own wealth and life be more important?
Imai Munehisa thought for a while and said.
"Once Ishiyama Honganji Temple is surrendered, the Kaga Ichiku sect will have no reason to continue to persist, and the Oda family's territory will expand again."
Takada Yono said.
"You must have guessed correctly.
Before the heavy snow on Hokuriku Road closed the road, His Highness Uesugi had already returned to Kasugayama Castle in Echigo Province. The joint forces of the Noto, Vietnam and Chinese samurai forces had retreated to their bases, leaving Kaga Province empty.
Now is the coldest time in Hokurikudo, which is not conducive to large-scale military operations, so Shibata Katsuie's Echizen-Oda Army has not yet moved.
But when the news of the surrender of Ishiyama Honganji Temple spread, Kaga had no reason to persist anymore. Nanari Yorishu must surrender, and the Kaga country belonged to the Oda family.
With the six great powers of Owari, Mino, Ise, Omi, Echizen, and Settsu in hand, as well as the commercial resources of Ishiyama, His Highness Oda is already a true four-million-stone strong feudal clan, the most famous in the world."
