418 Speeches (I)

In fact, Uesugi Jinghu has no other meaning, he likes elegant poetry, a few days ago he got a few books of poetry of the Ming Kingdom, which was presented to him by the merchants of Kashiwazaki Port, and the income is the famous poems since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, including this Liu Bowen's "Water Dragon Yin", I like it very much, so I made up a tune and sang it.

I have to say that this guy is really very talented in music, and in the 21st century, it is estimated that he will be an outstanding music artist.

Although everyone here couldn't understand what Uesugi Keiho was singing, the tone was tactful and beautiful, and it was uncomfortable to listen to. So as soon as the song was sung, everyone, including Akechi Kogoro, cheered.

[Hahahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing, this is Damingguo's "Water Dragon Yin", I sang a few words casually, which made everyone laugh. 】

Uesugi Keitor's face was flushed, and it seemed that he was very proud now. Wise Kogoro took this opportunity to flatter:

[The words are good and the tune is better, I'm afraid that even if Mr. Liu Bowen comes back from the dead, he will feel relieved when he hears the tune of Echigo Mamoru . 】

[Hahaha, I've won the award, or Mr. Wise, you are highly educated, and you know that it is Liu Wenchenggong's words when you hear it...... Come on, come on, don't sit still, come up and sing. 】

[Don't joke with me, adults, it's okay for me to make a crooked poem or slip through my mouth, if I really let me sing, it's [leaking]...... Hahaha, how about I punish myself with three cups? 】

Wise Kogoro is telling the truth, he is indeed not very good at singing, in his previous life, his girlfriend once described him as "six to seven short tones, too many words to remember, too high strings to reach], for those who listen to him sing, although listening to him sing will not be a particularly serious disaster, but it will definitely not be a pleasant thing.

Uesugi Keitora was not angry when he saw that he had punished himself for drinking.

[Mr. Wise, since you don't want to sing, then I won't force anything, but you are a famous scholar and full of wealth, I still hope to show it in front of everyone. 】

It seems that [Knowledge] has nothing to do with music, okay.

When Wise Kogoro heard this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, left his seat, walked to Uesugi Jinghu and sat down, all the drunken alcohol before disappeared, and he put on a serious and serious expression, this gesture means that he is going to get serious.

[Since Echigo-samaru has already said this, if I refuse, it will be a big disaster, but I really don't understand the rhythm...... In this case, the army will go out to pursue the Date army the day after tomorrow, and before the war, Echigo-samaru will definitely make a speech to the soldiers in the castle, so in order to express my apologies, why don't you entrust me with the work of this speech! It's up to me to shout to everyone! 】

[Speech? What did you say? Speak in my place? 】

Uesugi Keitora also suddenly lost his sense of alcohol, and he looked at Akechi Kogoro with wide eyes.

Seeing that everyone and Uesugi Keitora were staring at him, Akechi Kogoro, who had long since come to his senses, was not afraid at all.

The work of giving a speech seems to be very majestic, but in fact, although this job is very revealing, it is very hard, after all, there is no speaker and no microphone in this era, and a speech represents how much the speaker's voice will suffer.

However, this was nothing to Akekogoro, who had spoken in front of the whole school several times during his years at university - because his students in the Department of Law were unwilling to do so, so he had to push him to do so. (Dishonorable!) )

[Yes, if Echigo-samaru doesn't dislike me, entrust me with this task!] I will do my best to boost everyone's morale! 】

【Good!】 Good! It's rare for Mr. Wise to have such a heart! Good! The day after tomorrow in the city, it's up to you to shout to everyone! 】

Uesugi Keitora felt that since Asensible Kogoro had read a lot of books, it shouldn't be a problem for him to speak loudly in front of everyone, and besides, since he was very persistent, let him do it.

However, Akechi Kogoro felt that although the speech was very sinful, it was better than allowing himself to sing in public......

On the morning of June 26, when all the soldiers loyal to the Uesugi family in Echigo had gathered in the city, Uesugi Keitora spoke a few words and invited Akechi Kogoro to him.

The latter took a deep breath and walked up to the stage.

Of course, the soldiers remembered the military advisor who led them to a defeat, so many rolled their eyes to hear what this wise gentleman could say.

Everyone doesn't give themselves too many good looks, and Wise Kogoro knows this, but he still walked to the gate of the city.

[I don't need to introduce too much, everyone knows who I am...... That nominal military advisor wise Kogoro Shinmitsu. 】

Many people's eyes widened, and they had seen many pre-war speeches in this era, and they had seen many of them, and it was the first time they had seen a speaker who was so self-deprecating.

[I don't need to say much about what happened before, because of my personal mistakes, which caused the defeat of the army, and I apologize to all the brethren. 】

After saying this, I apologize to those present who bent down ninety degrees.

In fact, the previous defeat could not put all the blame on him, but my humble attitude made the people present feel very useful, no matter how big a mistake a person makes, as long as he is willing to bow his head and admit his mistakes, he will not incur too much resentment.

Wise Kogoro is well versed in psychology, probably because he was a lawyer in his previous life. Moreover, the responsibility for this matter is not entirely on him.

The only person who frowned was Uesugi Keikatsu, who was standing next to Uesugi Keitor, and this time he pursued Date Masamune, and Uesugi Keitora decided to [go to the Imperial Expedition], so he took over the task of guarding Kasuga Mountain Castle.

The reason why he frowned was not because he was suspicious of the attitude of the wise Kogoro, but because the latter called the soldiers "brothers" in his words, which made him feel fresh and confused. Can it really be called that?

Wise Kogoro didn't notice the difference in his statement, and continued:

[Brothers, there have been some rumors recently that our Echigo samurai want to steal peace from this war, lack fighting spirit, and have even signed a peace treaty that humiliates the country, is this true? 】

Naoe Kasuke rolled his eyes, wasn't the signing of the contract arranged by you? What are you doing now?

When the soldiers of the Echigo Army sitting on the courtyard Maza heard this, their faces suddenly changed, some were ashamed, some were angry, and some lowered their heads and sighed.

Wise Kogoro saw everyone's reaction, nodded, and suddenly said loudly:

[Full TMD fart! ] 】

[Huh? 】

He burst into a foul language, and immediately took everyone's attractiveness.

[Echigo samurai have always liked to fight. True Echigo samurai loved the swords and swords on the battlefield. 】

【……】

Listen to me, brethren, you are here today for three reasons.

First, you are here to defend your hometown and your loved ones, and as a member of the Echigo people, don't you feel angry that the brutal and brazen dog of Date Masamune did not stop even after the peace treaty was signed, and all over Echigo was burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of bad things? 】

【……】

There are more and more people who are flushed because of anger, and it seems that Wise Kogoro has succeeded in pulling hatred.

[Second, you are here for fame and fortune, I think, I am afraid that none of you here do not want to soar and get ahead, right?

Thirdly, you are here because you are real samurai, and real samurai like to fight. When all of you here today are teenagers, everyone likes to play sumo, kendo, jiu-jitsu, physical arts, and even some people have studied the ninjutsu of ninjas, whether it is physical arts or ninjutsu, what can be used in a fight is good.

The Echigo samurai admired the victors. The Echigo samurai never forgave the loser. The Echigo samurai despised cowards. Since the Echigo samurai decided to compete with others, they had to win, and they would use the most dexterous but also the most vicious technique to slam them to the ground, and not only that, but also to make them afraid to rise up and fight again.

I don't have contempt for the kind of people who laugh when they lose, but I don't look down on them either. Because of this, Echigo is the Echigo of Echigo samurai, and since ancient times, no outsider can invade and dominate him. A true samurai who stands up to the heavens and the earth will not even think about the idea of failure.

You won't get all the fame and fortune. Because only half of you are likely to survive each major battle. But don't let that make you afraid of death. Everyone dies eventually. That's right, the first time on the battlefield, everyone will be timid.

If someone says he's not afraid, it's a lie. 】

[If so...... Mr. Wise, have you ever been afraid? 】

The person who asked the question was a teenager, he seemed to be the son of a lord, only fourteen or fifteen years old, I don't know if it was because of the relationship between the first time he went to the battlefield, Akechi Kogoro noticed that his body was trembling, and his head was sweaty.

Wise Kogoro smiled, and when his speech was interrupted, he was not angry, but said in a more amiable tone to the young man:

[Of course, when I was about the same age as you, my father took me to the battlefield, and I was also scared at that time, afraid of being killed by the enemy, afraid of never seeing my relatives again...... But when I threw myself into the battlefield, all the fears were gone, because I was already a part of the battlefield. 】
