Chapter 1412 Sparks, Ikko Sect and the Hummingbird God!

"Master! The second batch of 200 residents have been resettled! ... The two batches, a total of 80 households and 400 people, are more mature. Half of them are resettled in Shengshan Main Hall, and half are resettled in Bishiguan. Spring plowing in May Now, each household should be able to carve out a dozen or twenty acres of dry land to grow some millet..."

"Well, Shoudao, have you given me the support rice?..."

"Yes! Each household was given two pieces of millet. I have personally checked that there is no deduction. Eat sparingly and mix it with acorns, wild vegetables, leaves, and insects. It should be enough to last until the autumn harvest... According to the rules, each household has registered one piece of millet. Ding is a peasant soldier. If these new households have too many Ding to survive the autumn harvest, they can register another Ding as a peasant soldier and receive an extra bushel of millet. It is estimated that after these 80 households stabilize, I can provide a hundred farmers and soldiers for my family!”

"Very good! Give each household a long spear and let them touch the weapon if they have nothing to do! These people are from Kinki and look a little timid and incompetent. After the autumn harvest, we need to arrange team leaders who are good at drills. , train them well! Well, take care of them when they go out! ... Otherwise, not to mention the vicious Shanta people, even the tribe soldiers of the Ezo people can defeat them all!

"Yes! The master of the house is generous!..."

He bowed to the judge, Oyezaki Morimichi, and then bowed to his old man, Morino Kiyoshi, before turning around and running out of the main building. Morino Kiwa sat in the pavilion, poured a cup of tea for Mitsuhiro Uizaki with his own hands, and said with a smile.

"Guangguang, you accept these four hundred refugees and let them settle in the northern country to avoid the continuous war in Kinki... It is a great merit in front of the compassionate Buddha!"

"Haha! Uncle, the fields in Ezo are barren. Even after a year of hard work, we can't harvest much rice. It is incomparable with the fertile land in Kinki. These people come here to cultivate and don't scold me in their hearts. It is already the mercy of the Buddha. !…”

"Mitsuhiro, you don't know this... Although Kinki is fertile, the burden of taxes on farmers is far greater than that of the North! Kinki is directly under the shogunate, with six public and four civilians. Normally, there are extra offerings from temples and daily needs of nobles; there are also exploitations by local people, extortion by ronin warriors, and plundering by rogue soldiers. The reason why these villagers fled is because they really can't survive! The weak starved to death, the young and strong fled, not to mention the massacre of the samurai troops... ugh..."

Speaking of the tragic situation of the Kinki Rebellion, Morino Kiyoshi shook his head, showing his unbearable expression. He paused for a moment before continuing.

"These villagers were carefully rescued and gathered by the monks of my Tendai Sect. After two months of rescue, they were handed over to me and boarded the fleet coming from the north to Ezo!... To be honest, the abbot of the temple and the monks The official was originally unwilling to help the refugees, but my master expressed the mercy of the Buddha, and disciples of the Kaga Ichigo sect came to gather the refugees and go north to Echizen... All the sects and temples were shocked, and then they sent monks to actively intercept and comfort them. !”

"And if you can settle it properly here, all the transportation expenses along the way will be paid for by our sect! This is a kind act recognized by the eminent monks of the Miao Court. It will help the reputation of your family, and even benefit the reputation of Nobhiro Gong during his lifetime. My biggest wish... In the future, if there is another turmoil in Kyoto, more people from the territory will come... It is better to send them to the Ezo land to cultivate and strengthen the power of the Oyizaki clan than to let them fall into the hands of the always evil sect! "

"Ah? Kaga Ichikyou Sect?...Uncle, are you talking about the Pure Land Shin Sect? I heard that Master Qingluan also came from the Tiantai Sect. And the Pure Land Shin Sect is also a branch of the Tiantai Sect. Why is it called the Issei Sect..."

"Don't say that!..."

Morino Qing interrupted this insult with a shout. Then, he looked around and saw no one around, then smiled bitterly.

"Buddha bless you! Guangguang, please never say such offensive words in front of all major orthodox monks in the future... Master Qingluan, um, Master Jianzhen, has indeed practiced under my Tiantai Sect for more than twenty years. ...But after he betrayed the sect and went to the Pure Land, he had already severed all ties with our Tiantai Sect!..."

"And the 'Pure Land Original Vow Dharma' preached by Master Jianzhen, in our sect's view, is also an out-and-out Buddhist heretic. It is almost like a taboo and must not be mentioned in our sect!..."

“This Vow Dharma has three major evil theories that can destroy the Buddha... One is to reverse the teachings and replace the true Dharma with evil ones... The second is to instigate evil and break many precepts of the true Dharma... The third is to kill dissidents and kill all the sects of the true Dharma... Practicing this method is the method of destroying the Buddha, and you will surely suffer the consequences of falling into the Avici Hell..."

Morino Kiyoshi talked about "The Debate between Righteous Dharma and Evil Dharma" for a while, and saw that Mitsuhiro Oyezaki looked blank and uninterested, so he sighed secretly and said nothing. Compared with the Yixiang Sect, which can be "saved by the Buddha and reborn in the Pure Land" by repeatedly chanting the "mantra", their "authentic Buddhist teachings" are really unattractive!

Especially for the suffering people at the bottom and the sword-wielding warriors at the middle and lower levels, they simply do not have the wisdom, money and energy to "practice the righteous Dharma", and there is no possibility of transcendence and salvation. And the traditional sect with "simple operation and boundless effectiveness" has become their only way out after death, and even their only hope during their lifetime! …

"Hey! Mitsuhiro, six years ago, after the Ichiki sect launched the Ichikui and captured the Kaga Kingdom... the power of the Ichiki sect really established a foothold in Kinki and created the so-called 'Kaga Buddhist Kingdom'... Eminent monks from various sects He was quite worried and kept making suggestions to the top officials of the shogunate. The ninth shogun Ashikaga Yoshinaga had planned to conquer Kaga, and he almost led the army to do so! And the tenth shogun Ashikaga Yoshika had the same idea...but the situation in the shogunate changed. , after four generations of generals were replaced, the proposal to attack Yixiang Zong became a mirror image, and had no choice but to give up..."

"At present, the Ikko sect is becoming more and more powerful. It has expelled the Kaga guardian and the famous samurai families and suppressed the people. They set up various temples and Ikko sects, and manage the local areas and believers in each village by themselves!... The "people's support" they promote, set up Ikko sect villages, deprived the samurai of taxes, and allocated them to the Ikko sect and believers for their own use... The attraction to the local people is really too great!..."

"Ah! They actually expelled the noble samurai, used temples and shrines to directly rule the territory, and used evil words and evil teachings to confuse the people's hearts?! This... This is too evil! It is indeed a Buddhist heresy, no, a demonic heresy!..."

After hearing about the actions of the Ikko sect, Kakizaki Mitsukorhiro was shocked and immediately labeled the original "Jodo Shinshu" in his mind as a "demonic heresy". In such a "major right and wrong" position, the samurai, as the ruling class, would never go against their own butts, unless they also became "demonic heresy"!

In fact, whether it is the "Pure Land Sect" or the "Christian Kirishitan" that was introduced later... This kind of armed sect that directly connects with the lower-level peasants and unites the loose people together is naturally the most dangerous enemy of the rule of the Wujia of the country, and will trigger one uprising after another!

In this era, although the area of ​​the country is only more than 300,000 square kilometers, which is only one-fifth of the 1.8 million square kilometers of Central America, the population of the country is more than 11 million, which is almost the same as that of Central America outside the Maya. There are no high-yield American crops, and the people's hardship can be seen!

Such a populous, feudal iron kingdom, with the natural geographical advantages of the island, is naturally impossible to be conquered by external forces. Even the once powerful Mongol Yuan Dynasty could do nothing about it. But such a dense population also means that the contradiction between people and land in the country is always at the extreme before the volcanic eruption.

In the context of a large population and narrow land, the joint oppression of the Wujia of the country and traditional temples and shrines on the lower-level peasants is too severe! The taxes and labor they demanded were unimaginable for the Ming Dynasty and Korea. So much so that the "Four Dukes and Six Citizens" were rare benevolent policies. This led to the Japanese society, like a pile of flammable firewood, which could become a prairie fire once ignited by sparks!

Now, history has flowed to a new river, and everything is changing silently. The "Ikko Sect" is based in Kinki, and while it is growing stronger, it has attracted the fear of the guardians of various countries. The "Kirishitan" of the southern barbarians is also about to arrive, and the Portuguese vanguard fleet is sailing to India, spreading the "glory of the Lord" all the way...

And in the north of Ezo, on the not-so-distant Karafuto Island, the "Lord of the Hummingbirds" of the northern barbarians have been engraved on the foreheads of Japanese captives and farmers, and gradually took root in the hearts of these believers.

The priests of the Lord God are also full of enthusiasm, from Kamchatka to Mahiri Island, looking for the fertile land of faith in the south, waiting for the moment when the hummingbirds fly to the north!
