A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Sukezaemon is very busy right now, and he wouldn't have come unless Koheita invited him. Seeing that Xiaoping had asked the matter clearly, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Although he was only the deputy chief of a branch branch, his business was huge. From Kyushu to Kanto, there were points that he needed to contact and pay attention to, so he didn't have much time to chat with Xiaoping too much.

Koheita is also happy that he is so busy. After all, he is even busier and sells more of Ejiri's specialties. Xiaopingtai just remembers to count the money, and just laughs behind his back about such a flattering thing.

As Sukezaemon walked out of the house, he seemed to remember something. He happened to have just returned from Sakai and heard two things. But they had nothing to do with the Yamauchi family, so I casually mentioned it to Koheta.

"Sir Tansheng, the lord of Iimori Castle, Miyoshi Xiu, and seventy-three of his retainers were baptized in Sakai Town a few days ago. Now the southern barbarian missionaries in Kinai are excited and believe that the Kingdom of God is about to come."

After hearing this, Xiao Pingtai sneered. With the little power of their church, they dared to jump up and down in the monastery with many sects. Oh, I don’t even know how I died. Yamashina Honganji Temple, a large sect with such inflammatory appeal as Xiangzong, was also beaten by a group of people and burned down. How many believers are there in the church? Do you really think it’s the same as Hungary?

It is said that under the order of the Grand Duke of Hungary, millions of citizens have followed the same religion since Stephen I. The glory of God spreads over half of Eastern Europe, from Moldova to Slovakia, all are bathed in the grace of Christ. The Holy Father personally crowned him with glory, and the Kingdom of Hungary, the Shield of God, was established under the favor of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

dream!

Although this was a big deal, Xiaopingtai ignored it and didn't take it seriously at all.

"Matsunaga Danmasa was also baptized in Sakai, and Takayama Ukon was appointed as the chief director of the Banten Company. Large churches outside of Sakai Town were gradually established."

This is not a big deal. Only Ukon Takayama is worthy of attention. He has a good son, Christian Takayama Shigetomo. It seems that he must have become a believer now. This man is also a famous expert in internal affairs, but just take a look. After all, the child Still young.

"It is said that the Holy Emperor of Luojing was extremely dissatisfied with Sanhao Xiu's move and asked His Highness Gongfang to expel the Nanman missionaries in Beijing. His Highness Gongfang did not obey the order and acquiesced in the establishment of a great church in the capital."

There is actually a reason for this. Christian missionary work and Nanman trade go hand in hand. Ryuzoji Takanobu banned proselytizing, and Nanman trade stopped immediately. Arima Harunobu declared his belief in religion, and Nanman merchant ships arrived immediately. Then, countless foreign goods such as Portuguese matchlocks, saltpeter, armor, tobacco, sandalwood, sugar, and woolen fabrics could enter the country. Directly increase military strength and economic strength and compete for hegemony among nations.

Kodaira didn't know the purpose of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru's disguised protection of the spread of Christianity, but this coincided with Matsunaga Hide. Sure enough, even among enemies, it is not impossible to find common ground.

Koheita also got up and sent Sukezaemon off. He took time out of his busy schedule to come here. She was counting on him to continue to make the business bigger and stronger, so sending him off was nothing.

"So the Southern Barbarian religion in Kinai is now quite impressive." Koheita is not very interested in Christianity, but he still yearns for Western science and technology. If he could deceive a few capable European technicians, Xiaoping Tai would not mind spending some money to build a small church and allow missionaries to preach.

"The missionaries in Kinei did not know who they heard the news from, and they knew that Sanhao repaired and dominated Kinei. They thought that as long as Sanhao repaired and became religious, millions of people in Kinei would become religious. It is ridiculous."

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

In fact, the ideas of these missionaries are quite good. Japan's emperor and generals have lost most of their former power. Now it is indeed Miyoshi Changqing who has the final say in Kinai. If Miyoshi Changqing is only in his thirties at the moment, he is still in the prime of life. At the same time, he truly believed in Christianity, so with his decisiveness in killing, he might be able to make Christianity strong enough to compete with the Kinai Sect.

But now Sanhao Changqing has begun to countdown to his life, and his rule is completely based on the power of repeated victories. As long as the Miyoshi family shows a flaw, the brown candies in Kinei usually don't look good, and they are quite capable of killing you when you are sick.

Maybe we can wait until there is chaos in Kinei to recruit a few missionaries, and then use their intermediaries to trick a few Nanman technicians into coming, and it will be nice. Kodaira thought very well. Even the generals in Kyoto protected the spread of Christianity. Yamauchi Yoshitaka, who always boasted that he was a fellow general, would not be too opposed to Christianity.

The most he can do is not push or restrict, and let you grow freely. Of course, it is estimated that Yamauchi Yoshiharu will force these Nanman missionaries to call Nanman merchant ships to trade at Ejiri Port. After all, the Nanman trade has been going on for so many years, and the big names in Japan are more or less aware of the huge income from the Nanman trade.

At this time, the two of them also walked to the door of the residence, and Sukezaemon also bowed his hand to Koheta, indicating that there was no need to send him off anymore.

Koheita asked Chenzo to help Zaemon get his straw sandals and take them out of the city. That’s the end of today’s affairs.

The two of them turned around and walked a few steps. Sukezaemon suddenly turned around.

"Tamsung, there is one more thing that I haven't mentioned yet. It is said that the commander-in-chief of Awaji Kingdom, Settsu Mamoru Anzai, is plotting a rebellion and has been strangled by Miyoshi to go to Iimori Castle for questioning."

"Huh? What?" Xiao Pingtai hasn't reacted yet. Sukezaemon had already finished talking about this seemingly ordinary trivial matter, and everyone had walked out more than ten steps.

Mrs. Kodaira didn't allow him to walk, and she didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She jumped off the verandah and rushed to Sukezaemon in one stride. He stretched out his hand and grabbed him, shocking Sukezaemon with a look of fear on his face.

"Did Anzai Settsu Mamoru really be called to serve the meal?" Koheta said this with a face full of anger.

"Ah? Ah! Ah."

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

"I know, I'm sorry."

Anzhai Dongkang should have been strangled and committed suicide by Miyoshi Changqing, and the only remaining powerful Kancheng of the Miyoshi clan died.

The death knell of the Miyoshi clan, who had once looked up and had the best chance to conquer the world, restrain the heroes, wipe out Yunei, and control hundreds of officials, sounded loudly.

The power of the shogunate's imperial ministers and the Miyoshi clan will be reduced to the Miyoshi trio and Matsunagahide.

The days of Miyoshi Nagakei, a member of the Saburo Yoshimitsu-ryu Ogasawara clan of Silla, who was so powerful that he held hundreds of thousands of territories of the Nine Kingdoms, millions of citizens, and tens of thousands of armies at his command, were numbered, were numbered.

If you don't have enough, you'll owe it now and make up for it next week.
