Chapter 1482: Eliminate Demons and Defend the Way, "Resist the Shantaars"!

The resounding Buddhist music echoed in the Ezo Sea, and the pious shouts rose above the clouds on the sea. Master Juehui listened to the cheers of the monks, and a faint smile rose on his lips. He knew very well that these fanatical and brave monks were the foundation of the sect.

Whether it was the wealth obtained from the rice houses secretly controlled by the sect every year, or the annual rent collected from the fertile land in Kinki occupied by the temples and shrines, a large part of it had to be invested in the raising, arming and training of the monks. This was the great temple of the monks in the country, which was completely different from the great temples in the Han area. They had to have a knife in their hands before they could sit down and talk about "Buddhism" in front of the greedy samurai. Of course, many times, the greed of the monks in the country is not inferior to that of the samurai...

"Hum, Master Vajrasattva, the body of pure enjoyment..."

"Three Treasures, Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Buddha is in front of us, Dharma is in our hearts, and only monks are in the world of greed, anger and ignorance. The monks among the monks are the naginata of the sect in this world, and the Vajra who protects the Dharma in front of the Buddha. The more the better!"

"Hum, Benzasattva! In such a Dharma-ending world, if there are no swords and bows of monks, what is Buddhism? I am afraid that even my Tiantai sect cannot continue?..."

Master Juehui looked around the bows and swords on the boat, and chanted a few more "Vajrasattva", then lowered his eyelids, thinking silently in a half-asleep state.

The ten warships and five hundred monks dispatched this time are almost the maximum force that the Tentai sect Naneishan in Kinki can deploy in the Ezo land thousands of miles away! The tasks of these monks are simple. They only need to fight and sacrifice for the Buddha and sacrifice their lives for the benefit of the sect. As the monk leading the team, he needs to consider much more...

"Namo Amitabha! The monks I brought this time are all the elite of the sect, the foundation of inheritance, and are more skilled in fighting than ordinary clan warriors. They cannot be lost too much... I must be clear-headed and follow the teachings of "Buddhism", and cannot be like the martial family, who throw away their "martial reputation" lightly..."

Thinking of this, Master Juehui narrowed his eyes and looked at the warships under the feet of the monks. These ten warships are all Guanchuan-shaped, with a very high hull and shields on both sides to prevent arrows. If these monks can defeat ordinary warriors in battle on land, then the power of these ten warships can defeat most of the martial families on water! The combination of monks and warships naturally follows the "unbeatable Buddhist Dharma"...

"Namo the Great Wisdom Manjusri Bodhisattva! Om Alabaza Nadi..."

Master Juehui thought for a moment, and then chanted the wisdom Buddha name of "Manjusri Bodhisattva". Then he looked at Morino Kiyoshi who was bowing his head beside him and asked calmly.

"Mori, we have passed the Tsugaru Strait and are close to the people. What is the reason for our sect to come here this time?"

"The reason for coming here this time..."

Hearing this question, Morino Kiyoshi pursed his lips, remained silent for a few breaths, and then spoke.

"'The Yamato tribe invaded from the north of Ezo, and Mitsuhiro Kakizaki paid homage to our sect, asking for our protection and setting up a branch temple of the Lotus Flower Temple. Mitsuhiro Kakizaki bribed the nobleman of Nanei Mountain with Jurchen horses and northern sable furs. The nobleman was pleased and adopted Mitsuhiro's son Yoshihiro as his adopted son and entered our sect'... So, our sect sent a fleet to rush to the aid of Ezo and protect our sect's Buddhist territory..."

"Very good! Mori, is there anything wrong with this name?"

"No. This is the ingenious plan of my senior brother and the monks. They covered up the beginning and the end, concealed the news of the gold, and also included the Kakizaki family into the sect..."

Speaking of this, Morino Kiyoshi's voice was a little awkward. The benefits of the previous gold trade with the Yamato tribe were indeed beyond imagination. Although he had enough "confidence" to hold steady in this "deep water" and trade slowly and steadily with the Yamato tribe. But it is obvious that the top leaders of the Tiantai sect do not think so.

As a rice merchant, the force in his hands and the background behind him all depend on the Tiantai Sect's Miaoyuan Court. He also didn't know, or didn't dare to know, who was the sect's spies and reported the matter... and the final result, such an astonishing profit equivalent to the entire sect's income, not only alarmed the abbot of his sect, but also the Tiantai seat master, the Miaoyuan Court master, and the Prince of Fa Juyin...

As for the result of the discussion of many "great monks", it was to subdue the Kakizaki clan politically, bring in "goods" for trade economically, and make full preparations for the use of force to seize as much of the profit of the Tatar gold as possible!

"Brother! The power behind the Shantaar Gold Tribe is hard to measure, like a deep lake with no bottom. Those Shantaar warriors wearing armor and riding horses are extremely majestic, and are definitely not comparable to ordinary clan warriors!... Since we can obtain the gold of this noble tribe through trade, why bother to take risks and look for the "gold hiding place of the Yuan invaders"?..."

"Well... Sen, whether it is strong or weak, whether it is a trade or a fight, your words don't count, and my words may not be useful. I need to use my eyes to see it, and these monks will see it, and then report back. Give it to the many monks and discuss it with them! "

"So, this time, I came with the monks and soldiers, and I was ready to eliminate demons and defend the Dharma, and it was also necessary to do it! ... This is like the cassock on the abbot of the temple, not only for yourself to see, but also for others to see. I went north for the benefit of the sect to compete for this "Buddhist fate and benefit", so I must have the determination to "never retreat" and "sacrifice myself for profit"! "

Master Juehui spoke lightly, still so plain and straightforward, so straight to the heart. Morino Kiyoshi opened his mouth, wanting to refute something, but finally responded with a "yes".

"Yes! Senior Brother, I dare not oppose the decision of the sect... I just said... maybe you are new here and don't know the situation in Ezo, so I need your advice..."

"Well. Sen, you are right. You should prepare for the trade with the Shantars and try to exchange as much gold as possible to put it in your pocket. As for whether to start after the trade and seek a Buddhist benefit... that depends on the situation of the Shantars and the Shantars' weaknesses that I have predicted in advance, whether it can be done!..."

Master Juehui smiled slightly, like a calm fisherman, looking at the Ezo Sea for the first time. And his fishing boat is so big and the equipment is so sophisticated, it is obviously prepared for "real big fish". Having made up his mind, the words he said at this moment, although light and gentle, are as irresistible as mountains.

"The Buddha is witnessing! Since the next generation heir of the Kakizaki clan, the fifteen-year-old Kakizaki Yoshihiro, has entered our sect... then 'resisting the Yamazaki' is our sect's responsibility! Resisting the Yamazaki can be 'long-term' or just 'one breath'. If the Yamazaki is strong, it will be 'long-term'. If the Yamazaki is weak, it will be 'one breath'."

"Of course, if the Yamazaki is strong, it cannot be easily seized. To 'resist the Yamazaki' for a long time, we must support the Kakizaki clan and hold this only connecting hole. Therefore, the people need to build a lotus branch temple for our Tiantai sect, and leave monks to guard it..."

"Mori, this is my 'Dharma'. Do you have anything to ask?"

Hearing this, Morino Kiyoshi's face froze, and he felt that the seemingly gentle master in front of him was like a black bear wearing a cassock. He was silent for two breaths and had to say.

"Yes, brother! Our Buddha has both a compassionate heart and a fierce look... It should be so."

"Very good! Resist the Tatars... If it is possible, then do it!"

Master Juehui looked down at the Ezo Sea with a gloomy expression, lowered his eyes again, and recited the scriptures. When this scripture fell into the ears of Morino Kiyoshi, it made him, a big businessman in Kinki, feel uncomfortable all over, and he took two steps forward unconsciously.

"The Vajrapani, with his mighty light, destroys all evils, and all obstacles are subdued!..."

"..."

Morino Kiyoshi listened to the scriptures and stood in front of the deck. He felt that the sky of Ezo became dazzling for the first time, just like the Buddha's light coming towards him. After the Tendai Sect personally left, the share of the interests of the Kakizaki clan would naturally drop again. Even Morino Kiyoshi himself lost the decision-making power to control trade alone. But the Myoin Court is not a samurai family, and its advantage is not in military force, and it is impossible to take out so many troops. They have a better way to deal with it, and they will also give a political reward.

It seems that the "Buddhism" of his house is different from the "Buddhism" on Mount Nanei, and they may not be on the same path in the future! …

"Huahua!"

The strong wind blew, and the five-colored Tantric prayer flags fluttered on the ten warships sailing, like five-colored clouds in front of the Buddha, falling in front of Mount Fuji in Ezo.

Two days later, the Tendai sect fleet with five-colored prayer flags finally arrived in the land of Wajin. They did not stop at the various pavilions along the way, but directly anchored at the Katsuyama Pavilion of the Kakizaki clan. Matsumae guardian Ando Sadaki, lower country guardian Ando Iemachi, and upper country guardian Kakizaki Mitsuinaga all heard the news and came to greet them at the same time.

Afterwards, Matsumae guardian Ando Sadaki was captured on the spot by the warriors of the Kakizaki clan at the port of Katsuyama Pavilion to welcome the Buddhist ship! Kakizaki Mitsuinaga personally read out the crime of Ando Sadaki, "secretly communicating with the Yamata"! At this point, the last nail of the Kakizaki family's unification of the people and land was suddenly pulled out, and the new head of the family, Kakizaki Mitsuhiro, established his reputation.

"Namo the Great Wisdom Manjusri!..."

As for the Tiantai Sect's fleet, of course it was clean and did nothing. Master Juehui looked calm, chanting the Buddha's name, just moored at Shengshan Pavilion, with prayer flags fluttering and watching~~
