Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Now that the followers of the Ichijo sect in Katada have lost the protection of Honfukuji Temple, and have been subjected to brutal persecution from Honganji Temple, they have become scattered and unable to recover. Moreover, Enryaku Temple has always been very taboo about the believers of the Ichijo sect, especially those who are close to Hibi.  The Ichijo sect believers near the gate of Mount Hiei are even more hateful. Since the old monk Mingzong died of starvation, the monk soldiers from Mount Hiei have often gone down the mountain to attack the private missionary activities of the Ichijo sect believers, and have even killed many people.  As for the appeals of the followers of the Katada Ichikai Sect, the current head of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, Zhengru, chose to ignore it. Anyway, it is a group of people who are on the wrong team and now they are completely destroying the temple. Why bother to do this for this group of people and a behemoth like the Tendai Sect?  They wanted to do the right thing, so everyone at Honganji gave up on them with a tacit understanding.  However, the followers of Jiantian Yixiang Sect survived tenaciously. Jiantian disciples did not allow them to change their appearance and blended into the local farmers, fishermen, and businessmen of Jiantian. This change made this group of people more hidden and difficult to deal with.  The antagonism between the Tendai Sect and the Ichijo Sect within the Tianzhong is also very sharp. Relatively speaking, the followers of the Ichidai Sect are stronger, but the followers of the Tendai Sect are close to Mount Hiei behind them, so they are not afraid of them.  After Kira Yoshitoki fully understood this situation, he felt that it was still necessary to contextualize it in the context of his faith. He immediately wrote a letter to the abbot of Mino Chongfukuji Temple, Kaikawa Shauki, to invite him over, and ordered Ninagawa, the abbot of the temple, to bring him to the temple.  A new temple was rebuilt on the original site of Fukuji Temple and named Myounji Temple. Although the original site of Honfukuji Temple was demolished a lot and the garland was also destroyed, it was still a famous temple in Lake Biwa, Omi, and it was operated successively.  The centuries-old foundation makes the temple very grand.  Even though many buildings were demolished, the foundation was not damaged, so it would save time and effort to rebuild. For this reason, Kira Yoshito also issued a general petition request to the Katada community. This time it was to rebuild a Buddhist temple, so the number of people involved in the general petition was very high.  There are more than 6,000 people in the Katian area alone who actively participated in the general labor request. Because there is no shortage of stone and wood in Omi, it is expected that the reconstruction of the new temple will only cost 2,000 guanwen, and the remaining Jialan will only need to be built slowly.  Just build slowly.  After receiving the letter, Kuaichuan Shaoxi immediately took a group of monks from Chongfukuji Temple to Omi. It turned out that the old Zen monk had long been tired of the endless struggle for power and profit in Chongfukuji Temple. If Kiragishi had not written the letter, Kuaichuan would have  Shaoxi will also leave Chongfu Temple to practice outside. This time, the letter written by Kira Yoshi fits his new ideas. A new temple without any interference from the previous abbot is really the best.  So he immediately rushed to Jiantian with his religious group in Chongfu Temple. After an on-site inspection, he was very satisfied with the location and scale of the new temple. After hearing about the chaotic belief structure of Jiantian congregation,  He immediately engaged in vigorous preaching activities. During the three months of rebuilding the new temple, he ate and slept in the open every day and insisted on relying on alms to preach in Jiantian. Because the reputation and erudite knowledge of the eminent monk immediately won the respect of everyone.  While Kira Yoshitomo was busy softening the will of the Kenda people to resist, trouble also occurred in Shiga County, which had always been stable. The inspection of the territory in Shiga County was obstructed by external forces. The source of this external force was Yamaoka, an important minister of the Rokkaku family.  Jingzhi, this gentleman has been serving as the county magistrate of Shiga and Ritai prefectures before, but since the rise of Kira Yoshito and taking away the Shiga prefecture he was in charge of, he has been very dissatisfied.  Yamaoka Kageno has been stable for more than a year just because he wants to see the Kira family's jokes, but as the Kira family continues to perform miracles on the battlefield and on the field, not only does he feel panicked, but even his master Rokkaku Yoshihide is also worried about it.  There is nothing we can do about this.  Not willing to lose his influence over Shiga County, he took advantage of the opportunity of Kira's family inspection to start trouble in Shiga's territory. He said that Kira was going to impose more heavy military service and raise taxes.  Squeezing the people, in short, Yoshitoki Kira turned into a Zhou Papi. Although his move was clumsy, some farmers who didn't know the truth were really incited by him. Shiga seemed to be showing signs of causing trouble.  Kira Yoshitoki immediately noticed the slightest disturbance in the county. With the spy surveillance arranged for more than a year, Yamaoka Kageyuki's little moves were immediately undetectable. However, Kira Yoshitoki had nothing to do with this guy. Once he hid,  You can't catch him by remote control in Litai County. Moreover, this person is an important minister of the Rokkaku family, so it is not appropriate for the Kira family to turn against him and arrest him.  Yamaoka Keiyuki seemed to be sure that the Kira family could not do anything to him. He used all kinds of despicable methods to fan the flames and spread rumors in the county. His wild actions immediately aroused the anger of the Kira family. Of course, how many people are there in Takashima County?  It's hard for anyone to watch the excitement. The Kira family is still trying to tame the stubborn Kenda people. The construction of Miaoyun Temple has just started. If something happens at this time and disrupts his plan, it will be troublesome.  Yamaoka Kageyuki has 20,000 koku of land in nine villages in Shiga County, all of which are concentrated in the Otsu area, which is the fertile area connecting Lake Biwa and the Uji River. Yoshitoki Kira has long participated in the appraisal meeting for this department, and he also has an opinion on Yoshitoki Kira's army.  The guy who posted the indifferent feeling feltDamn it, just because Ji Liangyi allowed him to be so rampant doesn't mean that there's nothing he can do about him.  On the fifth day of his continuous instigation of trouble, the Kira family sent an executive to the place where the trouble was taking place to issue a decree, telling the troubled villagers that someone was plotting to spread rumors about the Kira family.  In the end, the Kira family never said they would increase taxes, and the increase in military service was not targeted at farmers, but at certain lords who had escaped military service. They were worried that the Kira family would endanger their status, and it was entirely out of selfish motives.  Once the matter is revealed, arrest a few people who created the rumors and interrogate them on the spot. Ask them where the information came from, when did the Kira family issue an order to increase taxes on farmers and town residents, and when to increase military service? Ask these guys  He was speechless, the lie was exposed on the spot, and the farmers realized that they had been fooled.  ¡°Then someone stood up and said that His Highness Kira is a good person. Thanks to His Highness Kira¡¯s care, everyone has been getting better and better this year. How could His Highness Kira harm everyone?  Don't listen to rumors. Let's see what His Highness Kira says before making a fuss. Be careful that some of us may cause trouble and ruin everyone's good life.  So the peasants who were about to make a fuss just now began to hesitate. They didn't know which side to believe. One was their lord and the other was the lord of the country. However, many people felt that Kira Yoshitomo was indeed a good person, and at least he was very happy to pay the reward.  , and all those who died in the battle were given a sum of compensation. Even if the person died with meritorious service, he would still be deprived of nothing. In addition, he also allowed the younger brother to inherit the father's inheritance and inherit the merits of the father and elder brother who died in the battle. Those who made meritorious service on the battlefield were  Part of the annual payment can be reduced, which is a real benefit.  When the first army hesitated, Kira Yoshitoki sent several groups of followers to each township to carry out propaganda and education with lightning speed. Hosokawa Fujitaka personally came to Otsu and introduced to the farmers and town residents here: "First of all, you must know the inspection area  What they are doing is not apportioning military expenditures. Although His Highness Kira is not as wealthy as His Highness Gongfang in Kyoto, he does not lack their tax revenue!"
