The Shimoma family are followers of the samurai family who have followed Jodo Shinshu since the first generation of Buddhist masters, and are highly regarded.
Since the eighth generation of Dharma Masters, the Haima family has been the biggest beneficiary of the Fangguan system. They control the financial and secular affairs of the sect, and have hereditary Dharma eyes and Dharma bridges.
It is obvious that the superior regarded his subordinate Lai Lian as a close confidant and obeyed her advice. However, it is really unjustifiable that the person he recommended caused a big disaster in Hokurikudo.
However, Shimoma Yoriren cannot say that Shimoma Yoriteru is at fault, because this involves the internal route issue of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
she said.
"Dharma Master, I really have no choice but to do this out of public motives.
No matter how vicious Qili Laizhou is, she can only cause trouble in a small way. No one in the Kaga large and small sect will really follow her to make trouble.
If she dares to disobey Motoyama's will and have the idea of reliance on her own, the local nun in Kaga will kill her with a warning.
Laizhao asked her for help in order to keep the leadership of the Yixiang Sect in Yuezhong intact, and also to share your worries.
Ever since the defeat between Hokurikudo and Mikawa, there have been voices of doubt within Motoyama.
If word of the destruction of the temple in Sinchuan County, Echung comes back to the mountain, and Yoriteru Shimoma does nothing as the general of Echung, you will be very passive."
It seems that the master's irritable mood was slowly calmed down by the subordinate Lai Lian, who closed his eyes and chanted sutras without saying a word.
She trusted Lai Lian's judgment.
Shimo Yori Zhao would not take the initiative to seduce the Yuezhong martial arts family, because the Yuezhong Yixiang Sect was not strong enough and only occupied one-third of the territory of Yuezhong.
In recent years, the Yixiang Zong in Yuezhong has taken advantage of the internal fighting among the Wu family to develop temples in a low-key manner. The rise of the Yixiang Zong temples in Xinchuan County is an example.
There is no reason for Shimo Yoriteru to provoke Shiba Yoshigan unless she clearly feels threatened. The destruction of the Ichikō sect temple in Shinkawa County is proof of this.
Although Shiba Yiyin insisted that the Wu family only cleared the Yixiangzong temple in Xinchuan County and stabilized the rear after being attacked by the Yixiangzong.
But it seems that Master Ru didn’t believe a word of it.
Yoriteru Shimoma was not that stupid, and the Echichu Ichikusou did not have the strength to confront the Uesugi Jinho coalition. How could he jump over the wall and raid the garrison of Shiba Yoshigan unless he encountered an immediate threat.
Yoshihiro Shiba vowed in his letter, but the shogunate clearly knew how much control it had over the local samurai families.
The eldest sister did not laugh at the second sister, and the local monastery dealt with Master Xianru as often as they could. She felt the same sense of powerlessness.
What Yoriteru Shimoma did was right.
As the General-in-Chief of Vietnam and China, she is clearly one of the people sent by the Master, and she must resolutely protect the temple leader, because she belongs to the expansionist faction of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
Honganji Temple started to expand one by one since the Eighth Dynasty Buddhist Master reformed, established the shōguan system, and strengthened its organizational strength.
After eight and nine generations of expansion, by the time of the Tenth Generation Zhengru Master, he was already a thief and nun in the eyes of the Wu family, a thorn in his side and a thorn in his side.
Xiang Yikui, who had simple teachings and explosive organizational power, rapidly expanded at the bottom, replacing military leaders with temple leaders, and even established the above-ground Buddhist kingdom of Kaga, which was deeply feared by the samurai family.
The Tenth Generation Dharma Master Zhengru came to power and began to be low-key and restrained. He organized the internal affairs and strengthened the dominance of the mountain.
It was at this time that Shichiri Noraishu was sent to Kaga Country by the Master of Ceremony to deal with the growing centrifugal force of Xiaosong Sanji Temple.
It proves that what the Master did has indeed eliminated the hidden dangers of the expansion of the previous two generations of Dharma masters.
On the one hand, he has always been restrained, which lowered the vigilance of the Wu family. On the other hand, he has rectified the internal affairs and truly controlled the expanding temple territory.
But as time passed, the desire within Honganji Temple for external expansion became stronger and stronger.
As the successor of Master Zhengru, Xianru sided with the expansionists. With the support of the expansionists, she would be able to secure power as soon as she came to power.
She came to power with the help of the expansionists and exercised her power, of course, taking their demands into consideration. After coming to power, she directly launched the Hokurikudo and Mikawa areas to conduct tests, and the results were very bad.
Before his death, Lord Echizen Asakura Sōtikō conquered the Daishoji River area of Kaga, defeated the power of the three small sects of the three temples, and almost destroyed half of Kaga.
Sanhe Yixiang was quickly exterminated, local temples were forced to convert, and believers were persecuted.
Matsudaira Motoyasu seemed cowardly, but in fact he was resolute. His retainers who refused to convert were all expelled from Mikawa. For a time, the Mikawa Ichika clan was cleared.
Master Xianru came to power in a high-profile manner, but was slapped hard on the left and right, knocking her radical expansion strategy away.
Always frustrated, the conservatives within Honganji Temple have already complained, and the expansionists cannot easily bow their heads and admit defeat.
Shimoma Lai Lian and Shimoma Yori Teru were both figures on the expansionist side.
If Yoriteru Shimoma did nothing in Yuezhong and treated the destruction of the Yixiang monastery as if he did not see it, this matter would definitely be used by the conservatives to make a big fuss.
Expansionist people are just trying to hide their heads. How can they have the dignity to act like the Master? They claim to be launching a campaign to establish more Buddhist kingdoms on earth.
This matter is related to the cornerstone of Master Xian Ru's exercise of the rights of the legal lord, and Yori Teru must take action to counterattack the evil deeds of the Wu family.
However, the strength of the Etsuchu Ichikou clan was far inferior to that of the Uesugi Jinho Alliance, so she could only ask Kaga's Nanari Yorishu for help.
When Master Xianru opened her eyes, she was already calm, and she sighed helplessly.
"It's true that Shimoma Yoriteru didn't do anything wrong, but Yoshigan Shiba is too good.
The leaders of Ruiquan Temple and Anyang Temple in Yuezhong both sent letters, complaining that Laizhao acted recklessly and attacked the place where the imperial tower was stationed.
Now that Otaisuo led his troops to retaliate, Yoriteru Shimoma was at a loss and could not stop his offensive, which caused the whole area of Yuezhong Temple to be in a state of chaos.
At Noto Nanao Castle, Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna was escorted by the emperor, and he took the oath to go out into battle. The martial arts in Noto were actively involved.
The army has penetrated Noto Haza County and invaded Kaga Hebei County. By now, it is estimated that they have reached the Kanazawa Plain.
Oyama Gobo was in crisis, but Kaga's country was empty, and all the troops were diverted to fight in Vietnam and China.
The local nuns rushed for help and asked Qili Laizhou to return to the army to protect the Oyama Royal Palace. At the same time, they wrote a letter to complain, calling Qili Laizhou and Hajian Yorizhao a scourge.
Shiba Yoshigan saw through the internal discord within the Hokurikudo clan, and the swords were deadly. And the samurai were integrated by him, and they worked together to fight against the clan.
Why would Yoriteru Shimama fight with others? With such little ability, he insists on provoking the Ashikaga Military God. How will it end if he is beaten like this?
Is this sharing my worries? This is pushing me into a pit of fire, and I have to step on it a few times before I feel comfortable."
The next person, Lai Lian, was speechless. He said ten thousand things, but it was all nonsense if he could not win the battle.
Even if Yoriteru Shimoma had her own difficulties and explained the reasons to the extreme, she just couldn't beat Shiba Yigen! What a p!
Now, the Xiangzong forces on both sides of Yuezhong and Jiahe are scolding her and throwing dirty water at her.
The relationship between Motoyama and the local area is very delicate. Yoriteru Shimoma deserves to take the blame for his failure to live up to his expectations and follow the truth!
