"Your Highness would like to hear new insights," Yu Qiuping asked tentatively, "Can I tell you a story?"
"Haha," Oda Nobunaga laughed, "Just tell me. If you can't tell me, I'll just pack up my bag and leave."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Qiuping also smiled slightly, "The story happened in the Ming Dynasty nearly two thousand years ago."
"The protagonist of the story is a retainer of a famous family." Yu Qiuping didn't know if this explanation was appropriate, but he went on. "One day, he met a carriage near the Taihang Mountains. The owner of the carriage was letting him
The driver drove the car all the way north."
The story Yu Qiuping suddenly told made everyone a little confused, but they all listened with interest.
"The owner of the carriage told the retainer that he was going to the daimyo in the south." Yu Qiuping recounted the story of the opposite direction. "But the retainer was confused and asked the owner: You want to go south, why are you driving the carriage to the north?
Woolen cloth?"
"The owner said nonchalantly: My horse is very good." As soon as Yu Qiuping said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"That retainer said that's not right. No matter how good your horse is, it's not the way to the south." Yu Qiuping imitated Ji Liang's tone at that time and imitated a look of hatred for iron, which made everyone laugh.
happy.
"The master said nonchalantly: I have a lot of expenses." Yu Qiuping shrugged, really showing a nonchalant look, and several young men with no pretensions, including Maeda Toshiie and Sawaki Yoshiyuki, were amused non-stop.
.
"That retainer is wrong. I know you have a lot of troubles, but this is not the way to the south." Yu Qiuping quickly switched to a completely different tone and expression, which even made Oda Nobunaga and Lin Xiuzhen
They were all amused.
"The owner still said nonchalantly: My skills as a coachman are very good!" Yu Qiuping once again imitated a arrogant look, matching the foolishness of the carriage owner in the story, which directly made the whole auditorium laugh.
"The horse is fast, the money is plentiful, the driver is good, I know it all," Yu Qiuping spread his hands towards everyone and said with a helpless smile: "But this is the way to the north. The faster you go, the farther you go.
The goal is farther away!"
"What do you want to say?" Sasana Narimasa, who had always looked calm, interrupted, a little embarrassed amidst the roar of laughter, "Telling this completely different story, do you think we haven't heard it before?"
"The reason for telling this story is to confirm one thing with you," Yu Qiuping explained, "What is the purpose of His Highness the Governor? Otherwise, what should I do if I just immerse myself in hard work and go in the wrong direction?"
"Then what do you think?" Oda Nobunaga asked loudly with a playful smile on his lips, "What is the goal of me, the person you call the Warring States Period?"
"I dare to speculate on the purpose of His Highness the Governor," Yu Qiuping bowed slightly to hide the confident smile on his lips - what your purpose is is clearly written in history.
"His Royal Highness the Governor is definitely not a thing in the pond. He will never be satisfied with being the master of a country, nor will he stop at expanding his power to become a regional hegemon." Yu Qiuping looked at Oda Nobunaga's sharp eyes like an eagle and could feel it.
There is a burning flame of ambition, "His Highness's goal is to invade Kyoto, win the throne of Kinki, use force to bring an end to the chaos of the Warring States Period, and bring peace to the world."
As soon as this statement came out, most of the people present were shocked. Their vision, identity and experience made it impossible for them to think about such long-term issues. Their understanding of the Oda family still remained at the level of a small daimyo in Owari.
For ten years, they have been fighting wars with neighboring countries in order to expand their territory. It is a big deal for them to be able to capture Sanhe or Meinong. What Yu Qiuping just said is to calm the world.
, seemed so far away to them that it was hardly something that a small daimyo in Owari should consider. Oda Nobunaga never disclosed these thoughts to them.
After a while, everyone started talking, and many sarcastic words were heard everywhere. Many people also turned their attention to Oda Nobunaga, waiting for their lord to reprimand this newcomer who did not know the heights of the world.
Unexpectedly, Oda Nobunaga suddenly laughed a few times, and then threw his folding fan towards Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping was caught off guard and almost relied on instinct to catch the flying folding fan.
"Well said!" Oda Nobunaga roared excitedly, looking at Yu Qiuping with a look of favor and expectation for his confidant, "The red leaves are deeply in my heart! No wonder he can be in two at such a young age.
The Imagawa family has achieved such a high position within this year! Imagawa Harubu really has a keen eye for recognizing talents!"
As soon as Oda Nobunaga said this, there was an uproar in the hall. They did not expect that their lord's ambition was so great. Even the women in uniform were so surprised that they even forgot to keep quiet. When Oda Nobunaga took pictures angrily,
After checking the table, the venue became quiet.
"Momiji, keep talking!" Oda Nobunaga pointed at Amekihei and said.
"As ordered," Yu Qiuping said unhurriedly: "Since the goal of His Highness the Governor is to invade Kyoto and suppress Kinki, then everything we do should be for this service. Therefore, I think the Oda family should attack
Meinong, and then based on Meinong, moved westward to Shangluo. The attack on Ise and Mikawa was just the opposite."
"Exactly," Sakuma Nobumori snorted disdainfully. He didn't want to see Yu Qiuping in the limelight. He answered: "Do you think that going to Luo is just a matter of walking to Kyoto? Which one is the Rokkaku family or the Miyoshi family?
A fuel-efficient lamp? We must first expand our strength! Conquering Mikawa and Kitaise can greatly strengthen our family. How can it be the opposite? If you don't eat two pieces of fat, you must bite the hard bones of Mino? "
"Your Highness Sakuma is right," Yu Qiuping explained with a smile, "I do not deny that Kitaisei and Mikawa are much easier to fight than Mino, nor do I deny that defeating them can enhance our strength."
"Then what are you talking about?" Sakuma Nobumori snorted coldly.
"But will conquering them really help the Oda family to go to Luo?" Yuqiu asked flatly, and slowly explained under the puzzled eyes of others: "After conquering a territory, you have to find a way to defend them, right?
If you capture Mikawa, you will directly border the Imagawa and Takeda families. The Imagawa and Oda families are incompatible with each other, and the Ozen doctor is even more ambitious and may launch an attack at any time. Mikawa is likely to become a hot potato.
, instead of providing more troops to Shangluo for our family, we need to spend more troops, money and food to defend. The same is true for Ise. The forces in Northern Ise are intertwined, and they may encounter a lot of troubles when they rule.
Facing the Kitahata family of Minami Ise and the Ichikou clan of Nagashima Castle also requires a lot of energy."
"Looking back now," Yu Qiuping pointed to the ground, "the weak Matsudaira family has separated the Imagawa family and the Takeda family for us, but it will not pose much threat to our southeastern border. And the Northern Ise wealthy alliance is even more internal
There are many contradictions, and it is impossible to attack us. We can devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the Mino strategy. Isn't this much better than fighting on multiple fronts? Then why should we attack Mikawa and Ise? Moreover, attacking Mikawa
He and Ise don’t know how long it will take. The current situation is changing rapidly, and we may miss some golden opportunities.”
After Oda Nobunaga and everyone digested it for a while, Yu Qiupei leaned down and said: "So, my opinion is: stop at the northern Ise, alliance with the Matsudaira family of Mikawa as a barrier to the east, and go all out to attack Mino!"
This was the strategy of the Oda family in history.
·
The entire audience was silent for a while, as they all savored Yu Qiuping's speech. The wisdom and information contained in it needed to be digested slowly. This may be another advantage of the time travellers-they have looked down from a God's perspective.
Throughout the course of history, their control over the overall situation and the future is far greater than that of ordinary people at the same time.
While Oda Nobunaga was listening to Amakihei's explanation of his thoughts, he kept smiling and looking at the young man wearing a red leaf shawl with approval.
"His Royal Highness Yuqiu's golden words, I second my opinion." Niwa Nagahide, who was the first to wake up, bowed down to Oda Nobunaga very excitedly, "If this strategy is used, the Oda family's hegemony can be achieved!"
"I second the proposal." Takigawa Yimasu also leaned down.
"I second the proposal!" More and more people understood Yu Qiuping's words and leaned down one after another. However, many people who advocated attacking Sanhe looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"I second the proposal." After Shibata Katsuie thought for a moment, he also leaned down. Sakuma Nobumori and others saw that Shibata Katsuie agreed with this view, and they also leaned over to express their support.
"Humph," Oda Nobunaga looked at the retainers who were prostrating themselves on the ground and sneered, "Now do you know the second opinion? After so many years in the Oda family, no one who has just arrived can see this clearly!"
The ridicule made the scene very embarrassing for a time, and Yu Qiuping himself was a little embarrassed.
"My lord, please don't put His Highness Yuqiu on the fire," Lin Xiuzhen, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said to save the situation: "There is truth in the authorities. Those who confuse the beholder are clear. What Your Highness Yuqiu said is true knowledge and insight. You all are here for
The Oda family is loyal and dedicated, how can there be distinction between superior and inferior?" After saying that, he looked at Oda Nobunaga again, "Then, my lord, what do you think?"
"Since there are no objections," Oda Nobun stood up, patted the dust on his hem, turned around and prepared to leave the conference room, while speaking in a nonchalant tone:
"Then everyone go back and prepare. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, we will attack Sanhe."
Many retainers who thought they were going to issue an order to attack Mino had already shouted a few words of "obey" before they realized that Oda Nobunaga was going to attack Mikawa. Everyone present, including Yu Qiupei, was all stunned.
Wu Shui. Didn’t you say it well just now?
"Before the alliance," Oda Nobunaga had already walked to the door, turned to the bewildered retainers and said, "I want to see if my childhood playmate Takechiyo is capable.
Alliance with me!"
·
After hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Amakihei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that history would be skewed. As soon as the pressure was gone, he felt a little idle and wanted to find something to do, so he opened the knitting machine.
The folding fan that Tian Nobunaga threw to him.
But he was stunned for a moment.
Because there are four big characters clearly written on the folding fan.
