Chapter 854: Unification of the World (7)
In the secret room of Azuchi Castle, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga with a solemn expression, "One last question, do you really plan to do this?" You should know that if this matter spreads, the family will instantly become the target of public criticism. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even the retainers of the family are not sure how many people will choose to follow the family. β
Oda Yoshinobu's tone was very solemn, and the truth couldn't help but be dignified, because this matter was so terrifying. Because, this is in Japan of the eternal lineage, not the land of China! Want to replace the emperor......
Yes, Oda Nobunaga just wanted to replace the emperor, in fact, he already had such an idea long before the siege, but at that time, it was more likely to be just casual talk. It's just that as time went by, when there was no longer anyone in the world who could resist the existence of the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga began to think carefully about the possibility of this matter.
"Will you follow me, then?" Oda Nobunaga asked with a chuckle when he heard this.
"Seriously!" Oda Yoshinobu gave Oda Nobunaga a middle finger angrily.
"Hehe, I'm just asking you very seriously, don't you think that the existence of the emperor and the court today is simply unnecessary?" Oda Nobunaga chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, as if he was just trying to kill some unknown little family.
"Tsk, it's really ......" Oda Yoshinobu grabbed his hair a little irritably, and after a long while, he said helplessly, "But even if the family unifies the world, it is not so easy to replace the emperor." After all, as the ruler of his own country, the emperor has long been imprinted in the marrow of everyone. β
"Of course I know this, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to figure it out." When Oda Nobunaga said this, he suddenly showed a strange smile, "After all, although the world is big, you are the only one who can completely reassure me and discuss this matter unscrupulously." β
"Tsk, even if you say that, I won't be happy!" Oda Yoshinobu gave Oda Nobunaga another disdainful look, then took out his cigar and lit it and smoked it.
Seeing this, Oda Nobunaga didn't urge, just sat aside and pondered.
After a long while, Oda Yoshinobu said quietly, "This matter is not urgent, because we have a lot of things to do before this. β
Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga nodded and motioned for Oda Yoshinobu to continue.
"First of all, we must carry out a public opinion offensive, although it should not be too obvious, but we can continue to boast about our contribution to the world, so that the people of the world can understand that only the Oda family can lead them and their country on the road to prosperity. Secondly, carry out reforms, you know Mingguo, right? Centralize power and reduce the power of local tycoons to reduce possible obstacles in the future. Finally, increase the introduction of foreign population! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.
"Hmm...... I've thought about the first two, but what does it mean to increase the introduction of foreign population? Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu with some confusion.
"In the hearts of the vast majority of the people in my country, the emperor has a special place. They can ignore how the Imperial Family is down, but if someone wants to take the position of the Emperor, they will definitely be on the Emperor's side. Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga and explained, "So, my idea is to increase the number of foreign lords, and they don't have any concept of the emperor in their hearts. β
"I see!" Oda Nobunaga came to his senses, and then suddenly looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a very strange look, "Anyway, there are a lot of foreigners under your kid's command, is it because I said that casually at the beginning, so you subconsciously prepared?" After saying that, Oda Nobunaga also showed a very touched expression.
"Get out! I'm just because the population of the territory is so small! Oda Yoshinobu looked at Oda Nobunaga with a cold look and scolded, his expression instantly made Oda Yoshinobu goosebumps all over his body.
"Tsk, your answer really makes me sad, I thought we had always had a heart......" Oda Nobunaga looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a look full of resentment, almost making Oda Yoshinobu not hold back...... Ahem...... I couldn't help but beat Oda Nobunaga hard.
After arguing for a while, Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice, "This is indeed a way, through a large number of people who have no concept of the emperor to become lords and even soldiers and retainers......" Speaking of this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly looked up at Oda Yoshinobu and asked, "By the way, in Azuchi Academy, there should be no education for the next generation to be loyal to the emperor, right?" β
"Of course not." Oda Yoshinobu pursed his lips when he heard this, and said, "I'm too idle to join such a boring class." β
"Well......" Oda Nobunaga took out a cigar and lit it, and after a few puffs, he shook his head and said, "It's been too long, and even then, it's hard to guarantee success." β
"That's true." Oda Yoshinobu nodded in response to this, all this is just to weaken the influence of the emperor, but in this era, the emperor is almost equivalent to a god in the hearts of ordinary people, and if you want to weaken it to this extent, it is not only slow, but also the success rate is not high.
"What do you think of foreign wars? Like what...... North Korea! Oda Nobunaga said after a moment of silence.
"Can you increase your prestige and influence through foreign wars, and still quickly get a large number of foreign populations and even soldiers and retainers?" When Oda Yoshinobu heard Oda Nobunaga's words, he immediately understood what he meant.
"Not bad! Moreover, foreign wars can also weaken those forces that do not obey their own family......" Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice, "But the problem is that Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Kingdom, and if it fights Korea, I am afraid that the Ming Kingdom will not ignore it." β
"That's for sure, but as long as we plan carefully, it's not that we can't take North Korea before Ming reacts." Oda Yoshinobu groaned, although he had no impression of the war of Toyotomi Hideyoshi against Korea in history, but Oda Yoshinobu still remembered that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's troops occupied almost the entire territory of Korea at that time, and the Ming Kingdom began to send troops to Korea.
"Hmm......" Oda Nobunaga groaned when he heard this, as if considering the feasibility of Oda Yoshinobu's words. As for attacking North Korea, it was just an idea that just popped up to him. It's not because there is anything special about North Korea, it's just because it's close and familiar. However, the attitude of the Ming State was something that Oda Nobunaga had to consider, although the Oda family was about to unify Japan, but Oda Nobunaga was not naΓ―ve enough to think that after the unification of Japan, he would be able to fight with the Ming State.
As Oda Nobunaga, who understands the effects of the economy on war, he knows better than anyone else how terrifying the strength of the Ming Kingdom is.
