Chapter 221 25. The Tyranny Is Finally Destroyed, Like Dust in the Wind

Jozaemon is very busy now. He would not come if Kobayata had not invited him. Seeing that Kobayata had asked about the matter clearly, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Although he was only a deputy chief of a branch office, he had a big business. From Kyushu to Kanto, there were points that he needed to contact and pay attention to. He didn't have much time to chat with Kobayata.

Kobayata was also happy that he was so busy. After all, he was busier and sold more specialties from Ejiri. Kobayata just remembered to count the money. For such a happy thing, he just laughed behind his back.

Before leaving the house, Jozaemon seemed to remember something. He had just returned from Sakai and heard two things. But they had nothing to do with the Yamauchi family, so he mentioned them to Kobayata casually.

"Danjo-sama, Iimori Castle Lord Miyoshi Osamu was baptized in Sakaimachi a few days ago with 73 retainers. Now the Nanman missionaries in Kinai are excited and believe that the Kingdom of God is coming."

After hearing this, Kobayata sneered. With the little power of their church, they dared to jump around in Kinai where there are many sects. Ha, they didn't even know how they died. The Ikko sect, a large sect with such inflammatory appeal, was also beaten up and the Yamashina Honganji was burned down. How many believers are there in the church? Do you really think it's the same as Hungary?

At the order of the so-called Hungarian Grand Duke, from Stephen I onwards, millions of people joined the same sect. The glory of God spread across half of Eastern Europe, from Moldova to Slovakia, all were bathed in the grace of Christ. The Pope personally crowned and the glory was spread. The Kingdom of Hungary, the Shield of God, was established under the favor of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Dream on!

Although this is also a big deal, Xiao Pingtai just heard about it and didn't take it seriously.

"Matsunaga Dansho was baptized in Sakai and appointed Takayama Ukon as the general director of Bantenren. Large churches outside Sakai Town were built one after another."

This is not a big deal. Only Takayama Ukon is worth paying attention to. He has a good son, Christian Takayama Shigetomo, who seems to have converted to Christianity now. He is also a master of internal affairs, but just wait and see, after all, the child is still young.

"It is said that the Holy Emperor of Luojing was extremely dissatisfied with Miyoshi Shu's move and asked His Highness the Kofu to expel the Nanman missionaries in Beijing. His Highness the Kofu did not obey and acquiesced to the construction of a large church in Beijing."

There is actually a reason for this. The missionary work of Christianity and the Nanman trade are accompanied. Ryuzoji Takanobu banned the missionary work, and the Nanman trade stopped immediately. Arima Harunobu announced his belief in religion, and the Nanman merchant ship arrived immediately. Then numerous foreign goods such as Portuguese matchlock guns, saltpeter, armor, tobacco, sandalwood, sugar, woolen cloth, etc. can enter the country. Directly increase military and economic strength, and compete for hegemony among nations.

Kobayata didn't know what the purpose of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru's disguised protection of the spread of Christianity was, but this point coincided with Matsunaga Hisahide. Sure enough, even between enemies, it is not impossible to find common ground.

Kobayata also stood up to see off Sukezaemon. He took time out of his busy schedule to come here. He was counting on him to continue to expand his business, so it was nothing to send him off.

"So the Nanman religion in Kinai is now quite impressive." Kobayata was not very interested in Christianity, but he was still quite interested in Western science and technology. If he could trick a few capable European technicians, Kobayata would not mind spending some money to build a small church and allow missionaries to preach.

"I don't know who the missionaries in Kinai heard the news from, and learned that Miyoshi Xiuxiu dominated Kinai. They thought that as long as Miyoshi Xiuxiu converted to Christianity, millions of people in Kinai would convert to Christianity. It was ridiculous."

Like ordinary people, Sukezaemon was not very optimistic about the spread of Christianity and felt that the future was not great.

In fact, the ideas of these missionaries were still good. The emperor and generals of Japan had lost most of their former power. Now Kinai is indeed ruled by Miyoshi Nagayoshi. If Miyoshi Nagayoshi was only in his thirties and in his prime. At the same time, he really believed in Christianity, then with his decisiveness in killing, he might really be able to promote Christianity to the point of confronting the Kinai sects.

But now Miyoshi Nagayoshi has begun to count down his life, and his rule is completely based on the power of repeated victories. As long as the Miyoshi family reveals a flaw, those sticky candies in Kinai, who usually look not very good, are very capable of taking your life while you are sick.

Maybe we can wait for the Kinai turmoil to recruit a few missionaries, and then use their intermediary to trick a few Nanman technicians to come. Xiao Pingtai has a good idea. Even the generals in the capital protect the spread of Christianity. Yamanouchi Yoshiharu, who always claims to be a fellow student of the general, will definitely not be too opposed to Christianity.

At most, he will not promote or restrict it, allowing you to grow freely. Of course, it is estimated that Yamanouchi Yoshiharu will definitely force these Nanman missionaries to call on Nanman merchant ships to trade in Ejiri Port. After all, the Nanman trade has been going on for so many years, and the daimyo in Japan more or less know the lucrative income of the Nanman trade.

At this time, the two also walked to the door of the residence, and Zuoemon also bowed to Xiao Pingtai, indicating that Xiao Pingtai did not need to send him off.

Xiao Pingtai asked Chen San to help Zuoemon get the straw sandals and lead him out of the city. Today's matter is over.

The two turned around and walked a few steps. Zuoemon suddenly turned around.

"Tanjo, there is one more thing I haven't mentioned. It is said that the governor of Awaji Province, Ataka Settsu-no-kami, is plotting a rebellion, and has been ordered by Miyoshi Osamu to go to Iimori Castle for questioning."

"Huh? What?" Kobayata hadn't reacted yet. Sukezaemon had already finished talking about this trivial matter that seemed to him to be the most ordinary, and he had walked out more than ten steps.

Kobayata didn't let him go, and he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He jumped off the outer corridor and rushed to Sukezaemon in one step. He stretched out his hand and grabbed him, which frightened Sukezaemon and made him look suspicious.

"Is Ataka Settsu no Kami really summoned to Iimori?" Kobayata said this to him.

"Ah? Ah! Ah."

"Yes, he should have stayed in Iimori Castle for two days now."

"I know, sorry, sorry."

Ataka Fuyuyasu should have been strangled to death by Miyoshi Nagayoshi, and the only remaining powerful pillar of the Miyoshi clan's close family was gone.

The death knell of the Miyoshi clan, which once had the best chance to conquer the world, restrain the heroes, sweep the world, and rule over the officials, has sounded loudly.

The power of the shogunate's companions and the kanrei-dai Miyoshi clan will fall into the hands of the Miyoshi Three and the likes of Matsunaga Hisahide.

The days of Miyoshi Nagayoshi, who was born in the Ogasawara clan of the Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu school and was so powerful that he controlled hundreds of thousands of kan of territory in nine countries, millions of people, and tens of thousands of troops at his command, were numbered. Not many days left.

The remaining amount will be paid first and will be paid next week.
