First, cultural identity.
Second, economic dependence.
Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, island countries have gradually broken away from the blind worship of Chinese culture and gradually formed a localized island culture.
Because of the continuous fighting within the island country, the war spilled over and formed Japanese pirates, which were repeatedly banned, thus interrupting the economic ties between the Celestial Empire and the island country.
The current point in time is the key point for the separation of the Celestial Empire and the island country.
The islanders bully the weak and fear the strong, and admire the strong.
After being severely punished by the heavenly soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, they began to learn from the Celestial Dynasty and get close to the Celestial Dynasty. Their worship of the Celestial Dynasty reached its highest peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
After the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the island nation actually gradually moved away from the cultural circle of the Celestial Dynasty.
If there is no strong means to reverse this trend, the island countries that have already developed endogenous culture will embark on their own civilization path. This is a future that Yiyin does not want to see.
Enhancing the ideological identification of island countries with China and enhancing the island countries' economic dependence on China is the direction that Yi Bank should work hard.
Therefore, he actively participated in the Nanman trade, which was actually the transfer of materials from the Chinese island countries, and sought the possibility of reopening official trade.
Because of this, he immediately recognized Lin Xinsheng's second suggestion, took the initiative to include Confucian classics in Sibo's selection, and transformed the thoughts and principles of the Wu family.
Externally, Yiyin longed for the island nation to become a loyal follower of the Celestial Empire.
Internally, Yiyin wants to stabilize its own divine power, further constrain the islanders' thoughts, and let the Sibo god descendants always stand at the top of the pyramid of the island country's ruling class.
Yoshigan gave up the route of returning to the Emperor's Shinto, which meant giving up the endogenous autonomy of the island nation's culture and reducing the independence of the island nation from rejecting the Celestial Empire.
He cooperated with various Buddhist sects and embarked on the Shinto of Bishamonten, but it was also a mistake.
The first time he survived the fire in front of the Bishamonten Statue was during the Battle of Kyoheji Temple. The Miyoshi Army besieged the temple and set it on fire.
Yiyin was forced to burn a handful first and artificially created a fire break, thus escaping the disaster.
But the Hime warriors didn't know anything about modern firefighting. They just saw with their eyes that Yoshigin appeared in front of the Bishamonten statue and was immune to fire.
Bishamonten is the Tao Wen Tian King in Buddhism and the protector of Buddhism. After being localized in the island country, he became the patron saint of trade routes, the god of war and other religious colors.
Buddhist protector, protector of trade routes, and military god. These attributes are in line with Yoshigan's friendly relations with various Buddhist sects, its political initiatives to open up the Hokurikudo trade route, and its invincible record.
Finally, after the former Tiantai Sect master Jueshu presented the Buddha's Nine Virtues Armor and boasted about Yiyin with great fanfare, Yiyin's Shinto finally took shape.
Master Kyushu's move was in the hope that Yi Gin would protect the Tiantai Sect, but after the major sects added fuel to the fire, it has already shaped the godhead of Yi Gin today, a living god who descended from Bishamonten and walked the world.
With this godhead, Yoshigan stepped onto the Shinto path and established Shiba theocracy, so he must maintain the core cornerstone of his political power and protect the orthodoxy of various Buddhist sects.
This is the truth, but in troubled times, no one will easily put their own safety on the obligations of others.
The Shingon sect decisively allowed Master Nagakaku to succeed him as the master, in order to use her personal friendship with Yoshigan to further bind the saint and ensure that he would not be killed in the increasingly fierce religious struggle.
It was Master Changjue who understood this that he lamented that living in this mundane world, even if he could escape into Buddhism, he could not escape the troubles of the world, and could only fall headlong into the endless political abyss and wallow repeatedly.
Yiyin looked at the frowning Master Changjue and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Master, don't worry, you can go back to your Mount Koya and sit down in your position of master with peace of mind.
When Miyoshi invaded, I moved to fight in Yamato and Settsu. Master, you released the Kofukuji Temple's treasury, provided unlimited military supplies, and helped me revive the Shiba family business.
It was you who strongly advocated giving me the land of Northern Yamato, giving the reborn Shiba family their first foothold.
I will never forget this kindness.
Mount Koya made a smart choice for you to inherit the position of Master of the Shingon sect. As long as you sit in Mount Koya for a day, I, Yoshihiro Shiba, will protect the Shingon sect."
Yoshigami's categorical words were heart-warming, Master Nagakaku showed gratitude, and Kitahata Gujiao on the side was also deeply touched.
There is no shortage of talented people in the world who are aware of current affairs. It is not difficult to benefit oneself at the expense of others. It is rare to have love and justice, a beginning and an end.
Even if a selfish person can gain temporary success from a powerful person, the world will always praise the righteous man who keeps his word and promises.
Cao Cao said that he would rather betray the world, but Liu Bei did not hesitate to ruin his life and reputation in order to avenge Guan Yu. Right and wrong, success or failure of fame will be commented by future generations.
