Although there are still people who try to continue to maintain a tough stance, forcing Yu Qiuping to make further concessions. However, Tsuda and most people still didn't dare to wait, and they all took advantage of Yuqiuping's compromise to sign this agreement. Seeing that so many companions had signed the agreement, the remaining hardliners did not dare to make a mistake, and honestly agreed to the conditions.

However, such a decision Yu Qiuping did not dare to make his own decisions. Instead, he sent someone to explain the situation to Oda Nobunaga, and at the same time told Oda Nobunaga some of his future plans. Oda Nobunaga, who was still thunderous, agreed to his request with a smile after hearing about Yu Qiuping's plan.

After the collegial agreement was reached, Yu Qiuping immediately summoned Naoe Tadahei from Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, and he was in charge of Kii's aftermath. At the same time, he was also responsible for conducting a large-scale land inspection of Kii and the procedure for receiving the acting officer into the territory. And Hatakeyama Takamasa sent his younger brother Hatakeyama Masayori over to be responsible for the construction of Kii's entire judicial system.

However, due to the failure to successfully regain the military power in the hands of the people of the country and the temple, Yu Qiuhei did not dare to withdraw his troops from Kii easily. However, his skills could not be defended only by the Hanoi and Hozumi garrisons. Because it was in the winter, Sakuma Nobumori's new siege of Ishiyama Gobo failed, and Honganji was able to free up his hands for a counterattack. And Yu Qiuping made such a big thing in Kii, almost messing up the Ichijo sect, and the very annoyed Honganji Temple naturally didn't want to let Yu Qiuping go, and it was rumored that he would attack Yu Qiuping's territory after the spring ploughing was over.

Yu Qiuping hurriedly arranged for Shigeharu Takenaka to rush back to Hanoi with Ming Di Bei, and at the same time recruited troops on a large scale again in the territory for training, and it was expected to recruit two more reserve soldiers to deal with the defense of Kii and Hanoi and Izumi. The captain of the reserve team, pre-positioned Yoshioka Katsumasa and Ogawa Yuto, who had made outstanding contributions. In parallel with this, a large-scale adjustment of the troop establishment was carried out.

As for the names of these two new reserve teams, Yu Qiuping came up with a snap of his head. His three reserve teams before: "Changpan", "Mingdi", and "Fine Willow", just correspond to the earth, metal, and wood in the five elements. In this case, the names of the other two reserves were given by water and fire. Yoshioka Katsumasa's reserve team was named Liaoyuan Bei by Yu Qiuping, implying that no one could stop him once he started a fire. And Ogawa Youdong's reserve team was called drunken preparation by Yu Qiuping, which was used to express Yu Qiuping's resentment against this drunkard's subordinate.

However, it will be April until the new recruits are trained. Prior to this, Yu Qiuping had to personally lead Tokiwa Bei and Hosoyanagi Bei to sit in Kii, so as to avoid turmoil in Kii, which had just been pacified. And after Yu Qiuping expressed his distress to Oda Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga immediately helped. Oda Nobubo led 3,000 reinforcements from Ise to Kii, took over control of the four prefectures in the south of Kii, and implemented land seizures there for subsequent partitions. It is said that Oda Nobupo also clashed with the local temple lords and the forces of the country, but that was not something that Yu Qiuping should worry about.

As soon as the situation on Kii's side stabilized, the businessmen of the Diet couldn't wait to rush into the blank space of Kii's business opportunities. The team was led by Imai Munehisa, Tsuda Muneki, and Tomita Nobuhiro of the Mitsubishi caravan. Not long ago, they had just completed a large contract with Tosa, contracting Tosa's wood, tea, lacquer, mulberry, cotton and other specialties. And as the factories built by the Diet merchants in Tosa grew larger and more productive, they also needed to trade more frequently with. Therefore, it was too inefficient to rely on the original way of smuggling and the Awaji Navy of the Miyoshi family, and the route from the south to Tosa was a bit inadequate. Therefore, an important purpose of these merchants' trip was to build a large-scale port in Kii, so that Tosa's goods could be transported directly to Kii and then transferred to for sale.

And with these merchants and factory owners came a group of bankers. The People's Bank of Yuqiu's family was just an institution that Yuqiuping used to relieve during the Meinong period, because everyone didn't have much money at that time, so the profit was not too much. However, as the bank moved to Hoa Quan, Hanoi, where the wealthy people lived, the amount of deposits it absorbed grew exponentially. Many wealthy families who owed a lease agreement to Yu Qiuping and got a large amount of money would deposit the money in the People's Bank of China for interest, and the head of the bank, Masuda Nagamori, used the money to do business—most of it was invested in the Mitsubishi caravan and the Diet businessmen, and it was very profitable. Many businessmen took matters into their own hands because of the exaggerated profits of the People's Bank of China, and a large number of private banks sprung up in Ho Quan, Hanoi.

And as Kii's countrymen and temple lords signed lend-lease agreements one after another, it was only natural that the bankers led by Masuda Nagamori would not miss this business opportunity. As long as the Lend-Lease Agreement is voted on by the Congress, the Yuqiu family will take out a lot of money from the treasury to them, and they will instantly have a large amount of idle funds in their hands. And these bankers are counting on swallowing this money and investing it. Kii and these hillbillies have never seen this posture, and they were immediately deceived by the bankers.

In order to facilitate the passage of trade and goods between Kii and Hanoi and Izumi, the Diet passed a bill asking Yu Choping to widen the road to renovate Kii. Along with one of them, the large and small official roads in the entire Yuqiu family's territory were renovated. Naoe Tadahei was already too busy with these things, and Yu Qiuping had to beg his grandfather to tell his grandmother to invite Imagawa Kaede out and let her be in charge of the general invitation of the territory road.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Yu Qiuping finally breathed a sigh of relief. On February 17, 1576, two fathers and sons, Amaakihira and Naoe Tadahei and Naoe Nobori, had dinner together in the castle tower of Saga Castle. Yu Qiuping and Naoe Tadahei chatted about the past in the Imagawa family, and it was almost 20 years in a flash, and people couldn't help but feel that time had passed.

"I don't know if the doctor who took off his eyes is still gone." Naoe Zhongping touched the blindfold on his face, sighed a little wistfully, and said, "For so many years, I have always wanted to go back to thank him when I have time, but I have never had the opportunity." ”

"The old man's body is strong, he must be fine." Yu Qiuping smiled and comforted Naoe Zhongping, "I miss the Keju field in Junfu City even more." At that time, the horse farm Nobuharu burned down the entire Junfu Castle, and those Keju fields were probably gone. Dr. Daizen doesn't like Keju either, so I guess he won't build it again. ”

"It's full of memories." Yu Qiuping sighed, put down his chopsticks, and looked up at the ceiling, "The first time I met His Royal Highness the Governor, it was there. It was something that changed my life for the rest of my life. ”

Yu Qiuping and Naoe Zhongping sighed, and suddenly found that Yu Qiuping and Naoe Dengping didn't talk much. Yu Qiuyan, this child is silent, and it is normal not to speak. But Naoe Tadahei has always been a talker, why is he so quiet at the moment?

"Cheng Yuan Maru, what's wrong with you?" Yu Qiuping then knocked on his bowl with chopsticks and set his eyes on Naoe Dengping, "Why do you look sullen, but Cen Er ignores you?" ”

"Your Highness laughed." Naoe Dengping shook his head when he heard this, but he didn't laugh because of Yu Qiuping's joke, and his face was already a little dignified.

"What's wrong? If there's anything, it's okay to be straightforward, and there are no outsiders here. Yu Qiuping saw that Naoe Dengping seemed to really have something on his mind, so he asked directly.

"It's humble to be in the lower position, and these are not things that should be thought about in the first place..."Naoe Nobohei scratched his head and whispered a little embarrassed.

"In Yuqiu's family, how can anyone speak lightly? If you want to say it, just say it. Manly husband, twisting and pinching is not presentable! Yu Qiuping joked with a smile, and at the same time looked at Naoe Noborihiro with encouraging eyes.

Under the inducement of Yu Qiuping, Naoe Noborihiro frowned, and seemed to have finally made up his mind. He put the chopsticks neatly in place, then straightened his clothes, and sat down to Yu Qiuping and said, "I should not retain the military power of the people of Kii and the temple. ”

"Oh?" Naoe Dengping's words made Yu Qiuping, Naoe Zhongping and Yu Qiuping stunned. This issue, in fact, is also debated in Yuqiu's family. However, after Yu Qiuping made a decision, no one raised any objections. Now that more than two months have passed, Naoe Denghei suddenly brought up the old things again, presumably with his own thoughts.

"After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable word to express what I was thinking, so I coined a word in my next life, called 'window period'." Naoe Noboru paused and boldly said his thoughts, "This window period refers to the precious period of time after a territory has just experienced subversive activities such as the change of political power and large-scale war, as if a visitor has just opened the window of a house. ”

"Because of the war, the conquest, and the change of regime, there must be panic in that territory. The common people and the samurai were intimidated by the nouveau riche martial arts and did not dare to act rashly; Because the old forces and systems have just disintegrated or suffered heavy losses, they are temporarily powerless to resist the new authorities; The new forces in power are completely alien to the old ones, and there will be no constraints such as nepotism; And the people in the territory as a whole generally accept and approve of the use of force, even force, to advance the goal. During this precious period of time, the authority of those in power is at its highest. During this period, whether it is to carry out reforms of the original order system or to redivide interests, those in power are the most powerful and handy. ”

"However, if this window is missed, it will be difficult for those in power to think about large-scale reform and reform of the original order and system. On the one hand, the martial might established by war and conquest has faded with time; And the old interest classes have also regained their grip and regained their grasp of powerful resources; The government and the local government are related to each other, and they have interests in each other; And after a long period of peace, the desire to use swords again or to implement reform in a hard-line way is bound to meet with opposition from many people. At this time, it is more difficult for those in power to reform the fundamental system than to ascend to the sky, and any little reform will touch the interests of countless people. ”

"That's why, countless large-scale changes in history were implemented at the beginning of the New Deal after the war, because it was the window period. However, if they wanted to reform in the peaceful era, they were always obstructed by all sides, and in the end they returned in vain. It can be said that how far a regime or system can go and where the upper limit of future development lies in fact depends on what kind of changes the new forces can make during the window period and what kind of superior system they can lay. After Naoe Nobohei finished saying such a long paragraph, he raised his head and stared at Yu Qiuping's eyes, "Now that Yuqiu's family is in Kii, they are squandering the hard-won window period. If you don't take back their military power now, it will be difficult in the future. ”

After listening to Naoe Dengping's words, Yu Qiuping did not speak for a long time, but looked at Naoe Tadahei and Yu Qiuping, who were deeply shocked. After a while, he suddenly smiled, patted Naoe Dengping's shoulder with his hand, and said softly: "Chengyuan Pill, oh no." In the future, I can't call you Chengyuan Pill anymore, it's time to call you Dengping. ”

"At a young age, I already have such knowledge, and I can't be underestimated anymore." Yu Qiuping solemnly looked at Naoe Dengping, and said in a low voice at the same time: "There are so many juniors in the Yuqiu family, Dengping is the first person among them. Don't worry, I've thought about what you said a long time ago, and I won't let you down. ”
