While Takeda shenglai stormed cangheye City, Li Xiao issued a knife hunting order to the villagers of villages near the city in Shengcheng, Yuezhong city.

The so-called Dao hunting order was first used by Chaitian Shengjia in the history of the Warring States period.

At that time, Shibata Shengjia, as the general general of Zhitian's Beilu army, sat in front of Yue. After the chaocang family was exterminated by the Zhitian family, yueqian has become the hardest hit area of zhizong. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of Zhiyi premier, the Chaitian Shengjia issued a knife hunting order to confiscate civilian weapons.

In addition to Chaitian Shengjia, the real large-scale implementation of Dao hunting order in history was issued by FengChen Xiuji in the 16th year of Tianzheng (A.D. 1588).

When it comes to Daoshou order, we have to mention the separation of soldiers and peasants.

Although it is said that the stone height in the territory of FengChen Xiuji is not high, because he controls most ports and mines in the country, he has a lot of money in his hand, which can afford to support a standing army of organizational scale.

In this way, the FengChen family broke away from the famous name of the Warring States period in the past and mobilized agricultural soldiers from the countryside in the form of a combination of warriors and agricultural soldiers.

With the separation of soldiers and peasants, farmers can farm at ease without being called up, and the war will be handed over to a more professional standing army.

Although the benefits of the separation of agriculture and soldiers are obvious, maintaining military strength requires a lot of money. For the names who mainly rely on the agricultural economy, each year may be a disaster year or a good year, and their income is very unstable.

If there is a large-scale crop failure in lingnei, Daming and his family ministers can't eat enough, and they still maintain the standing army, it's like looking for death.

During the Warring States period, only those who controlled most of the country's mines and commercial trade could afford to play.

Although the standing army is a burden, because the standing army, like samurai, collectively lives in Chengxia Town, it also stimulates the development of Chengxia town.

It was also one of the reasons why Chengxia town became prosperous in the late Warring States period because the population gathered from the countryside to the city.

Just as in the Edo era, Edo city became one of the few large cities with a population of one million in the world at that time. One reason is the attendance and accountability system. The names of the vassals need to live in Edo for half a year. At the same time, the families must follow the names of the family ministers. The main reason is also that the Tokugawa family flag, the royal family and the samurai are stationed in Edo city.

This is because the population gathered, the relevant craftsmen and businessmen also settled in, and the commerce developed greatly. The increase of population density has become a great cause of driving the prosperity of Edo City, and even the birth of Edo culture in the future.

The realization of the separation of soldiers and peasants means that farmers and soldiers can not be recruited to fight.

If we continue to let the peasants hold weapons, it will easily lead to unrest in Yikui and instability of regional public security.

In addition, the implementation of the Daoshou order has another advantage, that is, it can greatly weaken the power of low-level vested interests such as Chinese people and local servants, and enhance Daming's control over local areas.

In history, FengChen Xiuji implemented the Dao hunting order, which was promulgated after the separation of soldiers and farmers.

At that time, the purpose was to prevent the occurrence of a premier, ensure the income of annual tribute and stabilize public security.

Later, Hideki Toyotomi cast Buddha statues and door nails for Fangguang temple in Kyoto with the iron tools collected by Daoshou order. I don't know if this is to follow the example of Qin Shihuang to cast twelve bronze men.

Li Xiao dares to play with the separation of soldiers and peasants because he has the support of Shengang Yinshan and a standing army, which is divorced from the scope of mobilizing farmers and soldiers to fight.

In addition, the security in the territory is relatively stable, so each village does not have to bring its own weapons to defend the looting of mountain bandits.

In order to prevent local residents from flocking to resist the promulgation of the Dao hunting order, Li Xiaocai deliberately promoted the fire behind the murder of metaphysics, so he transferred the disciples who had always been disciples.

These people are bewitched by the patriarchal sect and are difficult to convince. If they resist, it is easy to kill and arouse greater public anger. Other tax fighting villages can also fight Li Xiao together under the condition of always taking the lead.

What worries Li Xiao most is that Benyuan Temple officially intervenes in this matter on the pretext of believers being killed. It would be really bad if any official of the workshop was angry and called on the believers to act on Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was besieged by believers from all directions, and the deterioration of his relationship with Benyuan temple is also intolerable to Takeda Xinxuan.

At that time, Takeda Xinxuan's greatest possibility is to take back Li Xiao's blocking of Chengsheng city in a rage.

Therefore, Li Xiao plans to separate the believers from the believers and deal with them in another way.

Some of the reasons for the resistance to taxes in the remaining villages are controlled by the Saito family's legacy party, some can't afford to pay annual tribute, and more are to follow the trend and see if someone takes advantage of it.

If last year's tribute can be exempted, it will be happy for most people.

Therefore, for these non stubborn solidifying elements, Li Xiaoxiang trusted the big stick of force threat, and then imposed tax cuts on the villages that actively cooperated with the Daoshou order. Under such warm persuasion, it was very fruitful to deal with these troublemakers.

Moreover, Xuanli was killed, and these villages that hurriedly formed the "preaching" Dharma association were headless. Instead of always picking this head, Li Xiao wanted to see who was so afraid of death to try the taste of his iron gun.

Before sending troops, Li Xiao also bothered to think of two justifiable reasons in order to issue the Dao hunting order.

The first reason is that two days ago, the people of two villages fought for the use of water resources in the upper and lower reaches of shentongchuan, killing and wounding more than 20 people on both sides.

Li Xiao seized the matter and decided to intervene as an excuse to implement the Dao hunting order.

The second reason is that in view of the major vicious case of Benyuan temple, the official of Xuanli square hung in Li Xiaoling.

On the one hand, Li Xiao sent someone to Benyuan temple to express his regret, remorse, guilt and regret that master Xuanli was killed in his own collar. On the other hand, he said he learned from the pain and decided to confiscate the weapons of the villagers in each village, so that the same similar events would not happen again, so that the officials of Benyuan temple could preach safely in his collar and would not hang up.

After this superficial effort, three days later, the people who had always been religious collectively went to Shengxing temple and asked not to break the door.

Li Xiao sent out 500 standing equipment in his city, one village by one, and urged them to implement the knife hunting order by force.

The first thing to do is to shelter the village of Saito's leftover ministers.

Prior to this, Li Xiao let Yokota Yukio have done a good job in intelligence collection and investigated the villages where Saito family heirs were hidden, so this action is very purposeful.

In only one day, Li Xiao's five hundred standing orders subdued two villages in one breath.

In the process, Li Xiao first asked the iron gun team to face the other party's village gate and fired several rounds of iron guns. Then the people in the village were frightened and sent someone to subdue them immediately.

For these non religious factors, anti tax believers, their will to resist is not tenacious.

Obeying the Lord's arrangement and paying annual tribute is the rule of this era, and the Saito family, the strongest in this area, was defeated. They have no reason to resist such a powerful Takeda family.

After the collapse of resistance to the village, Li Xiao took the villagers to control it. After that, he searched the whole village for weapons collection, and then registered residence name registration for the villagers.

Once the party left by Saito's family is found, it will be executed immediately and the other party's body will be hung up for public display, so as to deter the villagers of other villages.

Li Xiaoshen believes that although this is a little cruel, only with such vigorous means can we avoid the process of implementing the knife hunting order to each village, reduce the resistance of the other party to the minimum, and finally reduce the number of dead people.

Otherwise, because of a moment's kindness, the knife hunting order can't cut the mess quickly, and more innocent people will die.

The Dao hunting order went very smoothly. In just five days, Li Xiao completed the implementation of the Dao hunting order in each village.

Although there were temporary small resistance in the process, they did not cause much conflict. There were few casualties among the villagers in Li Xiao's standing and collar.

The weapons seized because of the hunting order were 380 rib difference, 170 samurai swords, more than 300 bows and arrows, more than 600 long guns (鑓) and 230 razors.

Li Xiao looked at the collected weapons and was stunned. Although most of these weapons were inferior, many of them could still be used after the elimination of some, which was enough for him to equip his small half of the new standing stock of 500 people.

Therefore, for Li Xiao, the money for standing equipment can save more than half.

After the implementation of the Dao hunting order, each village was like a plucked rooster. Without any strength to resist, they immediately handed in this year's annual tribute.

For the villages that took the initiative to cooperate with the Daoshou order, Li Xiao returned part of their annual tribute this year. On the one hand, he kept his promise, and on the other hand, it can also be used to win people's hearts.

After the Nian tribute was collected, Li Xiao heard the news from Shengxing temple.

When believers gather in front of and behind the gate of Shengxing temple.

Xuanzong, the abbot of Shengxing temple, personally clarified the rumors to the believers, saying that he would not break the door to the believers because of the death of Xuanli, an official of the square.

Hearing the news, those believers were immediately moved by Xuanzong with tears in their eyes. They knelt down on their heads and chanted the six character Buddha name "Nanwu Amitabha" together to thank the Dharma Lord and Abbot for their kindness.

So Xuanli went to the altar to preach and preach to the believers gathered here.

After the sermon, Xuanli personally raised his pen and wrote on the square card the legal name "return to life, boundless life, Tathagata, Nanwu incredible light".

This passage comes from the general praise of the authentic verse written by Qin Luan, the early Dharma Master of Benyuan temple.

After the metaphysics is written, the officials of the workshop will sprinkle mud directly on the square card with the law name, and then let the believers recite the law name together.

The reason why it is necessary to sprinkle soil reflects the meaning of pure land in pure land Zhenzong.

In the past, the "Royal texts" written by the Dharma Master of Benyuan temple were printed on the square plate, and then the square officials took them to each "lecture" to recite and explain the meaning.

But then again, this square card is to collect money from the believers.

So the believers, seeing the metaphysics up and down, wrote the "name of the law" in person. All of a sudden, they entered the crazy piety of faith and paid a lot of money without being stingy at all.

Compared with Li Xiao's violent taxation, the traditional charging method can make believers more willing to pay after bewitching them.

In this way, believers who have always been religious have stayed under Shengxing temple for several days. Except that some people intend to stay in the gate town of the temple and serve for life, most of them have embarked on the way back to Chengsheng city.

So how to face these believers has become a difficult problem for Li Xiao. Of course, if possible, Li Xiao would like him to stay in Shengxing temple and not come back. (to be continued.
