After leading his men to the military camp in the city, Yu Qiuping was immediately taken to bathe and change clothes. He put on a brand-new court uniform with a red leaf printed on it. Then, the attendants told him to let him Xu Shichu
We rushed to the castle tower lobby before the moment, where the post-war evaluation meeting was to be held.
After Ame Qiupei arrived, an attendant led him to his seat, which seemed to be the area where the general was sitting. It seemed that the Asahina family and the Okabe family were already present, and they were sitting at the front.
"Hey! Boy!" An excited shout came from behind. Yu Qiuping turned around in a hurry, and a figure rushed up to him and hugged him. "Brother, I thought you were dead! I'm so worried.
!”
"Hey!" Yu Qiuping struggled to get out of Asahina Taehyung's arms, "It hurts, it hurts! By the way, brother, why are you here?"
"I came with the Asahina family's cavalry. I was here for reinforcements, but they were all defeated. You kid, I didn't get any credit for my work!" Asahina Taiheng groaned and pinched Yu Qiuping's ears.
"Matsuchiyo! Don't be too young!" A kind-hearted young man in Asahina's house stood up. His appearance was somewhat similar to Asahina Taehyung, but he was more calm and mature. He looked at Asahina majestically.
Taehyung, "This is the castle tower, don't mess around! It will disgrace the Asahina family!"
"Oh, I got it, brother!" Taehyung Asahina muttered impatiently, "Then I'll go out and chat with this guy!" After that, he pulled Yu Qiuping and walked out of the house.
"Master Yuqiu is the protagonist of this meeting, so don't make me late." Asahina Yasutomo's worried voice came from behind.
When they arrived outside the castle tower, Asahina Taehiro immediately shouted excitedly, "You are really good! With more than two hundred slaves, you were able to defend that ruined city in front of thousands of troops from the Oda family!" After that, he also
He smacked his lips reluctantly and said sourly, "Did you know that in the past few days, all the adults in Okazaki City are discussing your incredible defense! I am your big brother.
You should have overshadowed the limelight of killing four people at the beginning of the year!"
"No way? How can I compare to big brother? Everyone has given me too much credit." Yu Qiuping scratched his head in embarrassment.
"What! You kid is really good at defense!" Asahina Taehyung patted Yu Qiupei's shoulder hard without hesitation, "At the beginning, the retainers of the Okabe family were mumbling that you were just lucky, the governor.
It would be too much to greet you in person at the main hall. Hehe, your big brother, how can I see these old immortals talking about my little brother! I will stand up and scold them angrily," Asahina Taehyung said while imitating the tone at that time, "You guys
These old guys! Who dares to say that they can defend Zhili City in that situation!"
"Hey, guess what," Asahina Taehyung said of his proud work, "everyone fell silent one by one!"
Oh my God. Yu Qiuping cried secretly. This eldest brother has helped him offend everyone in the Okabe family.
"I really can't tell, you are such a coward, but you are so fierce at the critical moment!" Asahina Taehyung praised Yu Qiuping excitedly, and quietly came over and lowered his voice (actually it was still very loud) and said: "You
You know, inside information! It is said that the palace is going to promote you to become a general, which is a high-level warrior who can have his own family name and family crest! You will also recruit your own retainers, have your own territory, and have
Where is my reserve team? According to the usual practice, the main hall will also give you a family crest."
"Really!" Yu Qiuping suddenly became excited, "Then...can I be a good match for that young lady!"
"It's possible..." Asahina Taehyung thought while holding his chin, "That depends on the background of that young lady."
"Generally speaking..." Asahina Taehyung tried hard to recall these etiquette issues that he never cared about. "As a general, it is more than enough to marry the daughter of a general, and it is no problem to marry the daughter of a city lord. But if you want to
One level higher, such as the daughter of an elder in the family." Asahina Taehyung frowned, "It seems that there has been a precedent for this before, if the relationship between the two families is particularly good. For example, if you want to marry my sister or Sena-sama
That’s fine, but the daughter of the Okabe family will definitely not marry you.”
"Then it should be stable..." Yu Qiuping thought about the young lady's voice and smile, and suddenly he realized that most of the red leaves he folded for her were distributed to the troops.
"I'm going!" Yu Qiuping exclaimed, "I'll have to fold hard to catch up later."
"What is it, you kid? The preface doesn't match the subtitle." Asahina Taehyung smiled, "It's almost time, let's take a walk! Let's go back quickly."
When we returned to the lobby, it was already full of people. There was a row on the left, a row on the right, and each of the two rows had four or five rows. The road in the center facing the main seat was empty.
Most of the high-ranking Imagawa generals on the Owari and Mikawa front lines had arrived. Shortly after Amakihei sat down, he heard the sound of a scabbard hitting the ground from the side of the lobby, and the originally bustling lobby suddenly became
There was silence.
"The family governor's hall has arrived——" the nicknames of Imagawa Yoshimoto shouted in unison, in the tone of Gong Qinghua.
Everyone changed from sitting on their knees to kowtowing with their hands on the ground. Yu Qiuping also quickly followed suit and shouted in a strange tone.
"Welcome to the Grand Palace of the Family Governor!"
After a while, there was a sound of majestic footsteps coming from the side of the lobby. He walked into the lobby unhurriedly. Several young people immediately followed him in a team. After Imagawa Yoshimoto sat down, they stood on both sides.
"Excuse me, everyone." Imagawa Yoshimoto himself replied in the same tone as a court official. It was somewhat similar to Chinese Peking Opera.
Yu Qiuping raised his head and was immediately startled by Imagawa Yoshimoto's dress. His eyebrows seemed to have been shaved off, with only a black dot painted on each eyebrow, and his entire face was also covered with thick white powder.
The hair is full and the teeth are blackened. This is the standard dress of Japanese palace ministers.
Unexpectedly, Yoshimoto Imagawa, who is usually so easy-going and carefree when playing football, would be so formal in meetings.
The following meeting process was also in a very complicated format. Imagawa Yoshimoto gave a speech first, and then Sena Ujitoshi and several other adults said some more words, which made Yu Qiuping feel sleepy. Finally, then,
When Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke again, the meeting got down to business.
"The purpose of this meeting is to praise the meritorious ministers and encourage the frustrated generals." Imagawa Yoshimoto said, "The merits of this battle should be attributed to the person who came over - Yuqiu Hongye."
When Yu Qiuping heard his name being called by Imagawa Yoshimoto, he suddenly woke up from his daze. Then, the lobby immediately became quiet. Everyone turned their attention to Yu Qiuping, as if they were waiting for something. Yu Qiuping himself was also at a loss.
At this time, a little man sitting next to him suddenly pinched himself and whispered, "Go to the middle and kneel down! Use your knees to walk out." Yu Qiuping nodded gratefully and hurriedly did as he said.
Well, there simply wasn't any big trouble.
"In a critical moment, Yuqiu Hongye took the initiative to ask for help and went to Chitatsu to save the city in danger. He fought against Oda's army alone. He did not lose Chitatsu for three days and reinforcements arrived, but Oda retreated." Imagawa Yoshimoto stared at Yuqiupei's figure and said,
"Amaki Momiji originally gave the Asahina family the title of Ashigaru-general. Due to his great merits, he was given the post of general in charge of the Sena family. He was given the command of the old corps under the command of Ritchie Castle as a reserve force. He was also given 3,000 koku from the western territory of Suruga and Ejiri. He was also given to the Amaki family.
"Family crest." As soon as Imagawa Yoshimoto finished his words, someone with a minor surname behind him held a flag-sized flag and walked slowly in front of Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping straightened up, took the flag, and put on his samurai uniform.
The pattern is exactly the same, it is a family crest with a red leaf printed on a white flag.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Yu Qiuping kowtowed respectfully on the ground a few times and carefully put the flag into his arms. At the same time, he thought in his mind that the reward for himself was probably almost over. Yu Qiuping was already satisfied with this result.
I couldn't be more satisfied. Not only do I have my own territory and my own family, but I can also continue to lead the more than two hundred Ashigaru people who live and die together. And my boss is also a Toshi Sena who has a good relationship with me and is tolerant and generous.
.In this way, you can be considered as taking root in Japan and blending into the upper class society.
Parents will also be pleased. Their sons, even in ancient times, are still great people.
Everyone here also thinks that the reward for Yu Qiuping is about to end. This is already an incredible honor. Before the war, he only had one ashigaru general, but his actual identity was still a commoner. Now he has risen to the sky.
Comparable to a rocket cadre. He surpassed the ashigaru, ashigaru head, and ashigaru generals, and became a samurai with an independent family name in one fell swoop. Some of them are happy, and some are worried.
However, what Imagawa Yoshimoto said next did not seem to follow the normal meeting script.
"I heard that during this battle, hundreds of people under my command put red leaves on their helmets. I wonder what this means?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked.
"Back to the main hall," Yu Qiuping kowtowed respectfully, stood up and said in classical Chinese, "My subordinates rarely rely on flags and have few clothes and armor, so there is no way to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, so I put red leaves on the helmets." Yu Qiuping kowtowed again.
He raised his head and said again, "The red leaves were broken by my own hands, and everything is decorated with red leaves. Maybe I want to live and die together."
"Good." Imagawa Yoshimoto's voice revealed joy, "Now I give you the red leaves as my family crest. I will also go to Yuqiu Hongye to encourage myself and live and die with my family."
"The reserve force of Yu Qiu's family will also be given a name." In Japan, one of the basic establishments of the army is the reserve force. More than 200 Yu Qiuping's troops will also establish a new reserve force. Imagawa Yoshimoto Weiwei
After thinking for a while, "Place the red leaves on the top of your head... Then..." Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to suddenly think of something, and was stunned for a moment. Then, with a slight smile, "I will name you Tokiwa."
"The hall is so kind to me, and I will swear to death in repayment." Yu Qiuping responded respectfully according to the routine. "Changpan Bei," Yu Qiuping muttered quietly in his heart, "what a strange name."
He let out a sigh of relief. He had just been holding back a classical Chinese passage, but it had exhausted him so much that he was finally about to finish. However, Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke again.
"I also heard that Yu Qiu's red leaves were used as a flag by using something from the kitchen. What's the point of this?" Imagawa Yoshimoto raised Yu Qiu Ping's tablecloth flag, which suddenly caused several snickers to burst into laughter in the originally serious lobby. This
In a few days, Yu Qiuping's tablecloth flag has been spread throughout Okazaki. People who like him laughed, while those who didn't like him used this as an excuse to think that he was just a superficial person.
"I'm scared." Yu Qiuping was embarrassed for a moment, "I'm a commoner, and I have no flag to use in a hurry."
"There is no flag available?" A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Imagawa Yoshimoto's mouth, "Do those Yuqiu Hongye have horse marks now?"
"Reporting back to the main hall, there is still nothing." Yu Qiuping's words caused everyone on both sides to laugh secretly.
"In that case, I will personally give you the horse seal." Imagawa Yoshimoto's gentle words made those who were laughing secretly stop laughing. It is also a supreme honor to personally give the horse seal. However, Imagawa Yoshimoto
What Yuan Hou said was even more shocking.
"Bring the Red Bird Army Flag." Imagawa Yoshimoto said calmly as if nothing had happened, but suddenly everyone in the audience took a breath and went into an uproar. The Red Bird Army Flag is the Imagawa family's governor Ma Yin, although it is not unique.
It has many aspects, but it is still a symbol of the governor of the family. Since the establishment of the Imagawa clan, there has never been a precedent for granting the red bird military banner.
Today, the red bird military flag is actually given to an unknown person from the Ming Dynasty, General Ma Yin.
Yu Qiuping was also stunned by this favor.
After a while, several young people brought out the red bird military flag of Imagawa Yoshimoto from the back hall. They did not immediately send it to Yu Qiupei, but instead spread the flag, which was about three meters long and two meters wide, on Imakawa.
On the floor in front of Yoshimoto. Then, two young people, one holding a large brush, and the other holding a bucket of red paint, waited beside Yoshimoto Imagawa. I saw Yoshimoto Imagawa
He took the brush, dipped it in the paint, and began to draw strokes on the horse seal. Starting from the head of the red bird, he spread it out along the wings, using three strokes and two strokes to outline the shape of a maple leaf. Red Bird
The bird's wings are the blades, and the bird's head is the petiole. He then colors it along the outline. After a while, a maple leaf with the red bird as the base is completed. The maple leaf has sharp edges and corners, and is lifelike. On the head of the red bird,
The bright eyes add a lot of color to the flag.
"With the bird as the maple, this flag is called the Maple Bird Flag." Imagawa Yoshimoto gestured to the three children to hold the flag that was not yet dry ink in front of Yu Qiuping. He stared at Yu Qiuping's tear-filled eyes, "To
With this gift, I hope that Yuqiu Hongye will stick to his original intention, do what he says, and always maintain his compassion. I also hope that the Yuqiu family will be the wing of the Imagawa family from generation to generation."
Unparalleled glory.
It is an affirmation of this time traveler, his efforts, and his attitude towards life.
In his previous life, Yu Qiuping was a very strong and motivated person who wanted to be recognized. After coming to this world, the original leader in the school suddenly became a commoner who could only settle accounts for a living. After getting rid of
After facing difficulty in making a living, he unknowingly began to seek self-realization. But in this hierarchical feudal era, it was so difficult to gain the recognition of others.
As a result, he began to seek inner recognition of himself. He kept his word and worked hard to become the person his parents wanted him to be. He helped others with kindness, pursued his inner compassion, and wanted to be the person he longed to be.
To this day, he is truly recognized by the overlord of the Warring States Period. His abilities, talents, and character are all appreciated by the man named Imagawa Yoshimoto. How can this kind of kindness be explained in just a few words?
Clear.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
"The Great Hall is so kind to me." This time Yu Qiuping had tears welling up in his eyes, and he kowtowed several times from the bottom of his heart, "I will swear to death to repay you."
