With his breasts protruding and his belly bulging out, taking a leisurely step, Sanada Masayuki imitated Liu Shiba's usual petty bourgeoisie style and walked slowly forward.
Sanada Masayuki's dark, thick-skinned old face full of vicissitudes of life, miraculously became full of lines and fairer after three months!
The proud Sanada Masayuki feels that what he is most proud of is: wisdom, calmness, anger, and other rare facial expressions.
After pausing, Changxing organized his thoughts and said with a solemn expression:
"The most cruel thing is the head-on battle between the two armies. After the ammunition and food are exhausted, the hand-to-hand combat begins. The cruelty can only end with death, either we die or the enemy dies..."
"ah……"
"Sigh!"
"So that's what happened?"
The soldiers in the square, some of whom were newly recruited, couldn't help but burst into an uproar after hearing this...
"snort!"
Sanada Masayuki snorted coldly and added:
"The generals who recruit you don't want to tell you the truth because they are afraid of scaring you... For war, the result is life or death..."
Old handsome guy Sanada had just talked about the battle of life and death, and when he was about to speak, the request from his youngest son, Yukimura Sanada, sounded beside him:
"Lord! Please give me a chance to speak next..."
Liu Shiba's eyes lit up and he secretly said:
"Sure enough, it's you! The last extraordinary general of the Warring States Period, Sanada Yukimura..."
"Nani? Are you brave enough to not back down? How do you have the qualifications to speak here?"
Sanada Masayuki was horrified. In this crucial evaluation meeting, which was open to the common people and farmers, how could an ordinary military commander speak without the personal permission of the governor?
The brat didn't see that even the aging Takeda ministers lowered their heads and listened humbly. You are just the son of labor and management, who do you think you are?
I don’t know how high the sky and the earth are, why are you asking to speak?
When Sanada Yukimura heard his father accusing and scolding him, his face turned red and he quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Shiba and said:
"Hai! I am so reckless, please forgive me, my lord!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Good! Very good!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Shiba did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and praised:
"As a Takeda retainer, I have good suggestions that are beneficial to both the Takeda family and the army, so why can't I put them forward?
Is this governor so stubborn and inhumane? Sanada Yukimura, say what you want to say—boldly, come on!"
"ha!"
Sanada Yukimura's face was filled with excitement. After secretly gearing up, he turned to his father Masayuki, who was gritting his teeth, grinned, and nodded:
"Don't worry!"
Sanada Masayuki sighed and had to agree:
"Um!"
Liu Shiba also added again:
"If you delay more than 10,000 of us, we will enjoy the wonderful time of scallion pancakes and steamed buns later, and watch them wait - won't they beat you to death?"
"Hahahahaha!"
"The governor is really kind!"
"Yeah! Very humorous."
Tens of thousands of soldiers with serious expressions stood in the square, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this...
Sanada Yukimura tidied up his clothes, bowed to Liu Shiba and said:
"Then I will show my disgrace!"
Then, Sanada Yukimura bent down and saluted to a group of white-haired ministers with unhappy faces behind Liu Shiba:
"I am young and ignorant. Please give me the opportunity to express what is on your mind."
The Xinfang in the racecourse silently looked at Liu Shiba's motionless back, feeling a little lost. Hearing this, he grinned and said:
"The Takeda family! There is only one governor - what the governor said undoubtedly expresses the approval of us veterans. After all, young man."
A letter dragon, stroking his beard, also echoed:
"Yo Xi! It's time to show off your talent."
After hearing the statements of the two leading ministers, Nobufusa Baba and Noburyu Ichijo, the other ministers, such as Yokota Takamatsu, Tsuchiya Masaji, Amari Koyasu, etc. also agreed:
"Young people should be given more opportunities!"
Hearing that the important ministers behind him attached so much importance to the opinions of Nobufang Baba and Noburyu Ichijo, a trace of solemnity finally appeared on Liu Shiba's calm face...
In Japan during the Warring States Period, although the family governor had supreme authority, the system of feudal lords was actually implemented.
The daimyo did not yet have the awareness of military centralization, so they did not complete centralization, especially the military, or the privatization of retainers.
In this way, it is extremely easy for power to shift, resulting in a vicious tragedy in which a retainer overthrows the governor or kills the lord——
Oda Nobunaga, the most promising man who for the first time used the slogan of spreading military force across the world to unify the whole of Japan, is a living tragic example.
Oda Nobunaga's dream of spreading military power over the world was finally overthrown by his retainer Mitsuhide Akechi, who simply said "The enemy is at Honnoji Temple", and the dream broke the blue bridge...
Among them, the most important disadvantage is that privatized retainers and peasant soldiers only sell their accounts to this retainer, but have no sense of belonging to the biggest lord!
The solemn look on Liu Shiba's face comes from this...
Then, his thoughts were interrupted by the advice of Sanada Yukimura, the future and final general of the Sanada family...
……………………
Sanada Yukimura did not come to the front of the stage, but walked to the side and sat down solemnly!
In this way, he could face at the same time the tens of thousands of soldiers in the audience, Liu Shiba who was sitting on the stage, and of course many important ministers.
Facing tens of thousands of soldiers, Sanada Yukimura first raised his arms and shouted:
"The battle of Noda Castle three months ago! There were only 1,600 people in the Takeda territory for the expedition.
However, we have to face the Tokugawa and Oda coalition forces with nearly 15,000 people. This is simply a death sentence.
To be honest, I, Yukimura Sanada, was naive at that time and had no idea that I could win. But! My father, Masayuki Sanada, said to me: I can win!
Finally, it proves that my father’s vision is correct! So first of all! I wish the Takeda family a long-lasting military fortune..."
When Liu Shiba heard the words, he smiled slightly, and after looking sideways, he saw everyone staring at him as if they were stupid, and he couldn't help but be stunned...
This, there is a piece of shit on the face of labor and management?
"Lord! If you don't express your opinion, it's impossible for others to overstep it, such as praising and applauding..."
Beside Liu Shiba, Takeda Katsuyori winked and quietly made a gesture.
Oh...Liu Shiba suddenly realized it!
Japan is a magical nation that pays special attention to dignity and public etiquette, and its sense of class is particularly explosive!
But, aren't there also freaks like Mitsuhide Akechi who turn against the lord?
"Hey! What Yukimura Sanada said is very suitable to my liking! Please continue..."
Liu Shiba raised his hands and clapped softly, praising loudly, but his eyes glanced at Sanada Yukimura's father - Sanada Masayuki!
Encouraged by Liu Shiba, Sanada Yukimura kowtowed solemnly and added:
"My lord! On behalf of the Sanada family, Sanada Yukimura solemnly swears that as a descendant of the Sanada family, I will swear allegiance to my lord and the Takeda family to the death.
For example! If any of my Yukimura and my father's descendants violate this oath, all the great names can jointly attack the Sanada family without any reason..."
Hearing this, Liu Shiba was completely stunned...
This oath is a bit heavy!
Sanada Yukimura, you little Japanese, are you playing with real feelings with me?
