Chapter 111: Righteous Brother
Returning to the residence that night, after eating the already cold dinner, Asai Kenmasa, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Master Yuqiu, if you don't mind me, I would like to become a sworn brother with you. I wonder what your wishes are?"
"
"Hey!" Yu Qiuping was startled, "Why did Master Asai say this? You are the young master of the Asai family, and I am just a subordinate. How can you be so high-ranking?"
"This has nothing to do with identity, it's just like-minded." Asai Kenmasa shook his head, "That Lord Maeda is just a ronin now, didn't Lord Yuqiu not deny him because of his identity?"
"Besides," Kenmasa Asai smiled bitterly, "The Asai family has declined so much. Is the young master of the Asai family really in a higher position than the general of the Imagawa family of the famous Tokaido family?"
"In any case, I hope you will agree." Asai Kenmasa suddenly leaned over and bowed, "Sir Yuqiu's words before made me enlightened and enlightened. I understand that the principles I have always upheld are not meaningless.
I also understand the way to get rid of the darkness in troubled times. Although this road is extremely difficult, as a samurai, this is the path I will practice in this life. I am willing to walk side by side with Master Yuqiu and Master Matsushita, and in their respective homes for
Make righteous efforts.”
"It is my honor to have the honor of becoming a brother with you." In various Japanese Warring States games in his previous life, Asai Nagamasa has always been Yu Qiuping's favorite historical figure. Maybe it's because he married Ashi, which makes people
The envy of the immortal couple. And because in the game, he always looks like a silly giri warrior, which makes people particularly fond of him.
"I wonder how old Yuqiu-sama is?" Asai Kenmasa asked.
"I'm 18 this year." Yu Qiuping replied.
"I am 15 this year." After Asai Kenmasa said this, he gave Yuqiu a big gift as if he had met his elder brother, "Brother, please give me your advice. From now on, please just call Shinkuro or Kenmasa."
"That's good, Shinkuro." The words have reached this point, and it would be inappropriate to be more pretentious. Yu Qiuping helped Asai Kenmasa, "Let's work hard for the justice of the world."
"From now on, my lord, just call me Hanbei." Matsushita Qingluan also said.
"Then please, Mr. Panasonic, please call me Hongye directly." Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I am from the Ming Dynasty, and I am not very familiar with your naming method. Is it your childhood name? There are many repetitions.
?”
"For example, Ikuro and the like. I remember that His Highness Judge Yoshitsune's childhood name was also Kuro?" Yu Qiuping thought, "There are also those Heibei and Chiyo. I have seen many of them. Among my subordinates, Sanada
Masayuki is called Kihei, Naoe Tadayei is called Chibei, and Matsushita-sama is called Hanbei." Yu Qiupei was stunned for a moment and asked: "Speaking of which, you are from Mino, have you ever heard of Hanbei?
The name of Takenaka Hanbei?"
"Is that Kirin'er from Meinong? I've heard about it too." Kenmasa Asai also became more energetic, "It seems that he is also in the land of West Meinong."
"I have never met that gentleman before." Matsushita shook his head lightly.
"It is said that this person is extremely talented in the art of war," Asai Kenmasa laughed. "Some people say that even if this person goes into battle for the first time, he can command nearly ten thousand troops."
"This must be an exaggeration." Matsushita shook his head lightly, "How can such a genius exist?"
On June 28, a group of people traveled westward and arrived at Sekigahara for a rest in the afternoon. Asai Kenmasa was about to return to Otani Castle, so naturally he wanted to go with the others. Matsushita Qingluan also said that he hoped to travel abroad and be with Yu Qiupei.
Peers.
After arriving at Sekigahara, Sena Ujitoshi originally wanted to find a place to rest. However, Yu Qiupei insisted on going to Matsuo Mountain to have a look. Sena Ujitoshi couldn't resist Yu Qiupei's wishes, so he asked him to take a few people there.
On Matsuo Mountain, Yu Qiupei stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the magnificent battlefield that would determine Japan's ownership 40 years from now.
Mount Saoao in the northwest will be Ishida Mitsunari's main formation in the future. Mount Tenman a little further to the south will be the military garrison of the loyal and courageous Ukita Hideie. Mount Nangong in the far northeast will be
The place where Sekihara's God of Cookery Yoshikawa Hiroie ate lunch for most of the day. And Mobi Mountain in the northwest of Nangong Mountain is where Tokugawa Ieyasu's horse seal is located.
However, what really made the Battle of Sekigahara world-famous was the Matsuo Mountain at the foot of Yu Qiuping. Forty years later, there will be a powerful general who regards the Eastern and Western armies as chickens and dogs, and will set up his headquarters here.
The position. His actions determine the ownership of the entire world. It can be said that the safety of all Japan depends on one person. Whether it is Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has been a soldier all his life, or Ishida Mitsunari, who is brave and good at fighting, Shima Sakon, who is unparalleled in the world, and Honda Tadakatsu, who is unparalleled in the world.
, the loyal and courageous Otani Yoshitsugi, the fate of most of the world's heroes is in his hands. Hundreds of thousands of Ashigaru in Sekigahara are fighting each other, and they all set their sights on Matsuo Mountain.
That person is - the 550,000-koku daimyo of Chikugo Kingdom, the governor of the Kobayakawa family, Kingo Nakaton, the one who swept away a hundred thousand Western troops in the battle of Sekigahara, the head of the three gods of Sekigahara - the God of War Hideaki Kobayakawa!
Yu Qiuping slowly poured a glass of wine into the soil on the mountain, and then bowed reverently.
"God of War! This is for you!" Yu Qiuping said excitedly.
At this time, Maeda Toshiie and others standing aside looked at each other, wondering why Yu Qiuping had to come here - of course they did not understand the obsession of a time traveler.
"Brother...but any relatives are buried here?" Asai Kenmasa asked in confusion.
"It's not like that." Sanada Masayuki shook his head, "Look at the excitement in the adults' eyes. How could it be that they are paying homage to the dead?"
"My lord is from the Ming Dynasty. He has only been in Japan for two years. He came here alone and has no relatives." Amano Keide explained. As soon as he opened his mouth, Matsushita Qingluan beside him turned his head away, as if he was very unwilling to listen to him.
.
"You know, my little brother might have a strange disease." Maeda Toshiie thought for a long time and said, "He seems to get extremely excited after seeing some specific people or place names."
"For example, when he saw me for the first time, he was so excited, as if I was famous." Maeda Toshiie scratched his head, "The same thing happened when he saw my lord, he was very excited and ran to the foot of Tange Village.
, just to take a look at my lord."
"And more," Maeda Toshiie patted Asai Kenmasa on the shoulder, "When that kid saw you, he didn't know why he was so excited."
"How excited are you?" Asai Kenmasa asked puzzledly.
"Just like that now!" Maeda Toshiie raised his finger and pointed at Yu Qiuping. The latter was pouring wine on the ground, his eyes were shining with excitement, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"What a... strange illness." Matsushita sighed lightly.
After leaving Sekigahara, the group continued to Odani Castle. On the way, the caravan also encountered several military forces being mobilized by the Asai family. The equipment of the army was similar to that of the Owari Oda family, and most of the Ashigaru only had bamboo and hemp.
Armor or leather armor, a few ashigaru and samurai have enough. However, the mental outlook of the troops is obviously not good. Not to mention the Imagawa family, even the Oda family and Saito family may not be able to compare. Everyone is listless, and they are on the road as if they are doing errands.
The marching team was loose and loose, the ashigaru were whispering to each other, and the samurai leading the team did not exert much restraint.
After Asai Kenmasa saw his own army, he sighed helplessly.
"My army was originally a strong force that dared to fight." Asai Kenmasa said to Yu Qiupei, "Ever since the Rokkaku family was defeated in the high palace battle and forced to surrender, it has always been lifeless. The meaning in my name
The word "virtuous" was also bestowed by Rokkaku Yixian. It is really a great humiliation that my wife is just a retainer of the Rokkaku family."
"Then Jiulang, do you also admit defeat?" Yu Qiuping said passionately.
"How is that possible!" Asai Kenmasa, a passionate young man after all, immediately clenched his fist and said, "I will never surrender to the Rokkaku family in my life!"
"When I can take over the family business, I will train my troops day and night, and one day seek dignity from the Rokkaku family and regain the lost land!" Asai Kenmasa shouted sharply. Asai Kenmasa's gaze looking south seemed to be able to spit out fire, a vigorous energy
The burning fighting spirit made several people around him look at him with suspicion.
"It's just that with the current strength of the Asai family, it may be difficult to compete with the Rokkaku family." Maeda Toshiie pointed out, "Whether it is the territory or the combat power of the army, there is probably a certain gap with the Rokkaku family."
"The most important thing is the army." Sanada Masayuki said, "As long as we have a strong army, the territory is just dead and can be taken over. It's just that the Asai family is currently weakly armed and has no fighting spirit, but this is not a good sign."
"Father, it seems..." Asai Kenmasa said with some humiliation, "I no longer have the intention to resist, and I am willing to submit to the Rokkaku family. It is really...unacceptable...even the army is not interested..."
Although Sena Shitoshi, who had been silently listening to the conversation, did not comment, his mind was as clear as a mirror. He frowned slightly, thinking about something.
"If Jiulang is committed to strengthening the army, I have some training methods for you to learn from." Yu Qiuping said.
"But how to learn how to defeat a strong army of 6,000 with 200!" Kenmasa Asai's blood boiled immediately, "I hope my brother will give me some advice!"
Yu Qiuping nodded awkwardly. He had always felt that saying 200 against 6,000 was completely out of context. In the previous two attacks, the number of people invested by the Oda army was almost the same as his own. When Oda Nobunaga personally
When commanding a siege, Zhili Castle may not be able to hold out for even one morning.
Yu Qiuping's military training also happened after he defended Zhili. The battle formation planning that he was really proud of was the battle of Shanzhao Temple - but in this battle, Tokiwa Bei's performance was all overshadowed by Yu Qiuping's subsequent food delivery.
Covered up by the good deeds of the enemy.
He took the military law regulations and military training regulations from Amano Keitoku, and handed them to Asai Kenmasa, "Kurō, you can use them for reference. These are my experiences."
"Chinese?" Kenmasa Asai asked in surprise after turning the first page.
"Yes." Yu Qiuping nodded and said with a smile, "My Tokiwa Prey, daily expressions and commands are all written in Chinese."
On June 29, a group of people arrived at the castle town of Odani Castle. Sena Ujitoshi asked Asai Kenmasa to report on his behalf and met with Asai Hisamasa, the head of the Asai family. When discussing the Imagawa family's climb to Luo, they borrowed the Asai family's territory as a road to attack the Rokkaku family.
