After taking his subordinates to the military camp in the city collapsed, Yu Qiuping was immediately taken to bathe and change clothes, and put on a brand new court robe with a red leaf printed on it. Then, the attendants told him to rush to the castle tower lobby before the first hour of the day, where a post-battle assessment meeting was to be held.

When Yu Qiuping arrived, one of the attendants led him to his place, which seemed to be the area where the general was sitting. It seems that the Asahina family and the Okabe family have already arrived, and they are sitting in the front seats.

"Yo! Brat! An excited shout came from behind, Yu Qiuping hurriedly turned around, and a figure pounced on him at once, hugging himself, "Big brother still thinks you're dead!" I'm worried to death! ”

"Huh!" Yu Qiuping struggled out of Asahina Taehyung's arms with great effort, "It hurts, it hurts!" By the way, why are you here, big brother? ”

"I came with the cavalry of the Asahina family, originally to reinforce them, but they were all over. You kid, I don't have any credit for harming me! Asahina Taihyung snorted angrily and pinched Yu Qiuping's ears.

"Matsuchiyo! Don't be big or small! A stocky young man in Asahina's house stood up. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Asahina Taehyung, but with more poise and maturity. He looked at Asahina Taehyung majestically, "This is the castle tower, don't mess around!" Lose the face of the Asahina family! ”

"Oops, got it, big brother!" Asahina Taehyung muttered impatiently, "Then I'll go out and talk to this kid!" With that, he pulled Yu Qiuping and walked outside the house.

"Lord Yuqiu is the protagonist of this meeting, don't make people late." Asahinata's uneasy voice came from behind.

When he arrived outside the castle tower, Asahina Taehyung immediately exclaimed excitedly, "You kid is really good!" With those more than 200 slaves, in front of the thousands of troops of the Oda family, he was able to hold that broken city! After that, he smacked his lips reluctantly, and said sourly, "Do you know that in the past few days, adults of all sizes in Okazaki City have been discussing your incredible magical defense!" Your eldest brother and I killed four people in the early battle, and you should have overshadowed the limelight! ”

"Where? How can I compare to my big brother, everyone is really awarded. Yu Qiuping scratched his head embarrassedly.

"What! You kid can really defend! Asahina Taihyung patted Yu Qiuhei's shoulder fiercely, "At first, those retainers of the Okabe family were still muttering that you were just lucky or something, and it was too much for the Governor's Hall to personally greet you." Hehe, how can I see these old immortals talking about my little brother, your eldest brother! I'll stand up and scold them," said Asahina Taehyung, mimicking the tone of his voice, "you old things! Who would dare to say that they could defend Zhili City in that situation! ”

"Hehe, guess what," said Taehyung Asahina, "one by one, all silent!" ”

Oh, my God. Yu Qiuping secretly complained. This eldest brother can be regarded as helping himself offend all the people of the Okabe family.

"I really can't see it, you kid is so cowardly, but you are so fierce at the critical moment!" While excitedly praising Yu Qiuping, Asahina Taehyung quietly came over and lowered his voice (in fact, his voice was still very loud) and said, "You know what, inside information! It is said that the main hall wants to promote you to a general, this is a high-level samurai who can have your own family name and family crest! You'll also recruit your own retainers, have your own territory, and have your own reserves! As is customary, the main hall will also give you a family crest. ”

"It's really fake!" Yu Qiuping suddenly became excited, "Then I... Isn't it possible to match that young lady? ”

"Possibly," thought Asahina, pinching his chin, "it depends on the background of that young lady." ”

"Generally speaking," Asahina Taehyung struggled to recall these matters of etiquette that he never cared about, "you are a general, and it must be more than enough for you to marry the daughter of a general, and there is no problem in marrying the daughter of a city lord." But if you want to be at a higher level, for example, the daughter of the old family. Asahina Taehyung frowned, "It seems that there has been a precedent like this before, if the relationship between the two families is particularly good." For example, if you want to marry my sister or Sena-sama's daughter, you can. But the daughter of the Okabe family will definitely not marry you. ”

"Then it should be stable..."Yu Qiuping thought about Miss's voice and smile, and suddenly, he suddenly realized that most of the red leaves he folded for her were sent to the troops.

"I'll go!" Yu Qiuping exclaimed, "I'll have to work hard to catch up with the progress later." ”

"What is it, you kid, you don't have a preface." He smiled at Hinay Taehyung, "It's almost time, let's go!" Let's go back. ”

When I returned to the lobby again, the lobby was already full. There is a row on the left, a row on the right, and each of the two rows has four or five columns. The central road facing the throne was cleared. The high-ranking Imagawa generals on the Owari and Mikawa fronts have basically arrived. Soon after Yu Qiuping sat down, he heard the sound of a scabbard hitting the ground from the inside of the lobby, and the originally bustling lobby suddenly became silent.

"The Governor's Hall has arrived—" Imagawa Yoshimoto's little surnames shouted neatly in a tone of Gong Qinghua.

Everyone changed from kneeling to kowtowing with their hands on the ground, and Yu Qiuping hurriedly followed suit, shouting in a strange tune.

"Welcome to the Governor's Palace!"

After a while, there was a sound of majestic footsteps in the lobby. Unhurriedly, I came to the lobby. Several small surnames immediately followed him in a group, and when Imagawa Yoshimoto was seated, they stood on both sides again.

"Excuse me." Imagawa Yoshimoto himself also replied in a palace tone. It's a bit like Peking Opera in China.

Yu Qiuping raised his head and was immediately taken aback by Imagawa Yoshimoto's dress. His eyebrows seemed to have been shaved off, with only one black dot drawn at the center of each eyebrow, and his entire face was covered in a thick white powder, as well as his teeth blackened. This is the standard dress of the Japanese palace secretary.

I didn't expect Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is usually so easy-going and uninhibited when he plays, to be so formal at the meeting.

The next meeting process is also a very complicated palace format, first by Imagawa Yoshimoto, and then Sena Shijun and a few other adults said some more words, listening to Yu Qiuping drowsy. Finally, as Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke again, the meeting came to the point.

"The purpose of this meeting is to praise the meritorious and encourage the frustrated generals." Imagawa Yoshimoto said, "The merit of this battle should be for the people who came to cross the rain and autumn leaves." ”

Yu Qiuping heard Imagawa Yoshimoto call his name, and suddenly woke up from his daze. Then, the lobby immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Yu Qiuping, as if they were waiting for something, and Yu Qiuping himself was at a loss.

At this time, a small man sitting next to him suddenly pinched himself and whispered, "Go to the middle and kneel!" Walk out on your knees. Yu Qiuping nodded gratefully, and hurriedly did what he said, so he didn't make too much trouble.

"When the red leaves of the rain and autumn were in danger, they took the initiative to ask for help, went to Zhili to save the city in danger, and resisted the Oda army alone. Imagawa Yoshimoto stared at the figure of Yuqiuhei, "Yuqiu Momiji was originally the general of the Asahina family, but now with great merit, he has given the post of general of the Sena family, and the old department under the command of the castle is a reserve, and he has given Suruga Ejiri Nishi Territory 3,000 stones. Another Yuqiu family crest. As soon as Imagawa Yoshimoto's words fell, a small surname behind him held a flag the size of a flag and walked slowly in front of Yu Qiuping. Yuqiu straightened up. Take that flag. It is exactly the same pattern as the one on his samurai uniform, and it is a flag with a white background and a family crest printed with red leaves.

"Thank you, Great Hall Longen!" Yu Qiuping respectfully kowtowed a few times on the ground and carefully took the flag into his arms. At the same time, I was thinking in my heart that the reward for myself was almost over. As a result, Yu Qiuping couldn't be more satisfied. Not only does he have his own territory and his own family, but he can also continue to lead the more than 200 Ashigaru who were born and died together. And his boss is also on good terms with him.,I'm also tolerant and generous Sena Shijun.。 In this way, it can be regarded as taking root in Japan and blending into the upper class.

Parents will also be pleased, their son, even in ancient times, is a great person.

Everyone present also thought that the reward for Yu Qiuping was about to end, which was already a great honor. Before the war, he only had one senior general, and his actual identity was still a flat-headed commoner. Now it leaps into the sky, comparable to a rocket cadre. Crossed the ashigaru, ashigaru head, and ashigaru general, and became a samurai with an independent family name in one fell swoop. Some of them rejoiced, and some of them grieved.

However, what Imagawa Yoshimoto said next seemed to be not in accordance with the normal meeting script.

"I heard that the red leaves in the rain and autumn, in this battle, hundreds of people under his command put the red leaves on their helmets, I don't know what this means?" Yoshimoto Imagawa asked.

"Back to the main hall," Yu Qiuping kowtowed respectfully, got up in classical Chinese and said, "In the lower part, I rarely rely on the flag and have no armor, so I can't distinguish between the enemy and me, so I put the red leaves on the helmet." Yu Qiuping kowtowed again and said again, "The red leaves are folded by his own hands in the next, and all the parts are decorated with red leaves, maybe with the heart of living and dying together." ”

"Good." Imagawa Yoshimoto's voice revealed joy, "Today, the red leaves are given as the family crest, and the red leaves in the rain and autumn are used to encourage themselves, and live and die together with the family." ”

"The Yuqiu family's reserve team will also be named." In Japan, one of the basic elements of the armed forces is the reserve. Yu Qiuping's more than 200 people will also set up a new reserve unit. Imagawa Yoshimoto thought for a moment, "Put the red leaves on top of your head... So..."Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to suddenly think of something, and was stunned there for a moment. Then, with a slight smile, "Give the name Tokiban." ”

"The great hall is gracious, and I will swear to die to repay it." Yu Qiuping responded respectfully according to the routine. "Chang Panbei," Yu Qiuping whispered in his heart, "What a strange name." ”

He let out a sigh of relief, and the passage of classical Chinese that he had just held back was tired enough, and it was finally over. However, Imagawa Yoshimoto spoke again.

"Smell the rain and autumn red leaves, and use the things of the kitchen as the flag, what does this mean?" Imagawa Yoshimoto lifted Yu Qiuping's tablecloth flag, which suddenly caused a few snickering laughter to erupt in the otherwise serious lobby. In the past few days, Yu Qiuping's tablecloth flag has already spread all over Okazaki, and those who like him laugh, and those who don't like him think that he is just a superficial person.

"I'm scared below." Yu Qiuping was embarrassed for a while, "In the next book, it is cloth, and there is no flag available in a hurry." ”

"No flags available?" The corners of Imagawa Yoshimoto's mouth suddenly showed a smile, "That rain and autumn red leaves, can there be a horse mark now?" ”

"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 give the horse seal myself." Imagawa Yoshimoto's soft words made the people who were secretly laughing at the scene unable to laugh all of a sudden. It is also a supreme honor to bestow the horse seal in person. However, Imagawa Yoshimoto's words were even more astonishing.

"Fetch the Akatori flag." Imagawa Yoshimoto acted as if nothing happened, and his faint words suddenly made everyone in the audience gasp, and there was an uproar. The Akatori military flag is the Imagawa family's Imagawa family's Governor Horse Seal, although it is not unique and has many faces, but it is still a symbol of the Imagawa family. Since the establishment of the Imagawa clan, there has never been a precedent for giving the Akatori Army under the banner.

Today, I actually want to give the Red Bird Military Flag to a little-known person from the Ming Kingdom, and the general will be Ma Yin.

Yu Qiuping was also blinded by this grace all of a sudden.

After a while, several small surnames took out Imagawa Yoshimoto's Akatori Army Flag from the back hall, and did not immediately send it to Yu Qiuping, but spread the flag, which was about three meters long and two meters wide, on the floor in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Then, two small surnames, one holding one, or rather an oversized brush, and the other holding a bucket of red paint, waited beside Imagawa Yoshimoto. I saw Imagawa Yoshimoto take the brush, dip it in the paint, and begin to sketch on the horse print. He started from the head of the red bird and spread it along the wings, outlining the shape of a maple leaf with three strokes and two strokes. The wings of the red bird are the leaves, and the head is the petioles. He followed the outline again, coloring it, and a moment later, a maple leaf with a red bird as the base was outlined. The maple leaves are angular and vivid, and the bright eyes on the head of the red bird add a lot of color to the flag.

"With the bird as the maple, this flag is called the maple bird flag." Imagawa Yoshimoto motioned to the three small surnames to hold the big banner that had not yet dried in ink in front of Yu Qiuping, he stared at Yu Qiuping's eyes full of tears, "With this gift, may Yuqiu Red Leaves abide by the original intention, do what they say, and always keep their compassion, and may the Yuqiu family be the wings of the Imagawa family for generations." ”

A glory like no other in the world.

It is an affirmation of this traverser, as well as an affirmation of his efforts and attitude towards the world.

In his previous life, Yu Qiuping was a very strong, motivated, and hopeful person. After coming to this world, the leaders in the original school suddenly became small people who could only settle accounts for a living. After escaping the difficulties of making a living, he has unknowingly begun to seek self-realization. But in this hierarchical feudal era, how difficult it is to get the approval of others.

As a result, he began to seek his inner recognition of himself. He does what he says he will be, trying to be who his parents want him to be. He uses kindness to help others, pursues his inner compassion, and wants to be the person he aspires to become.

To this day, he is truly recognized by the overlord of this Warring States period. His abilities, his talents, and his character were all appreciated by the man named Yoshimoto Imagawa. This kind of favor can not be explained clearly in a few words.

Death for a confidant.

"The Great Hall is gracious." This time, Yu Qiuping's tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he kowtowed a few times from the bottom of his heart, "I will swear to die in return." ”
