Well? In Qin Kui's eyes, is the Japanese army strong? Of course it can't be, even Li Huamei doesn't think so. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Li Huamei's opinion, with the insight of an old scholar like Qin Kui, what he said just now is undoubtedly mostly flattering. After all, Qin Kui, who has been studying hard all his life, knows about those fierce generals or strong armies from books. Moreover, since ancient times, the Chinese Dynasty has regarded itself as the Celestial Empire, and the subjects of the Chinese Dynasty have also regarded themselves as the subjects of the Celestial Empire. Not to mention Confucian scholars such as Qin Kui, even when Li Huamei was young, for countries like Japan that she didn't know where she was, she was just referring to foreign barbarians.

So, how could Qin Kui really think that the Japanese army was stronger than the Ming Dynasty's? In fact, the only thing Qin Kui agreed with in his heart was the one he mentioned just now, Oda Yoshinobu and the Death God under his command.

Well...... Is Oda Yoshinobu's martial arts the top in the entire Ming Kingdom? Naturally, after all, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are not his opponents. And the strength of the Grim Reaper is even more outrageous, after all, the swordsman legion who is familiar with the battle array, looking at the world, is definitely the elite of the elite. Coupled with the fact that fierce generals such as Oda Yoshinobu personally commanded, even if it is not unparalleled in the world, there is no big problem in being one of the best.

It can be said that Qin Kui has flipped through the history books, and only the emperors of certain dynasties or the escorts of those famous generals through the ages can be compared.

However, what Qin Kui thought Li Huamei didn't care, she looked at Qin Kui and said in a deep voice, "Not bad!" And most importantly, on the road to the unification of the world, the troops of the family have experienced countless bloody battles! At this point, except for the troops commanded by a few generals such as General Qi and General Yu of the Ming Kingdom, the rest of the troops cannot be compared at all! Even though there is a big gap in equipment and tactics, the incident has already taught us that equipment and tactics are not necessary factors in war in many cases. ”

Hearing this, Qin Kui didn't object, but he looked at Li Huamei and said in a deep voice, "Lord Li, although he is just a pedantic scholar, he has lived here for so long, but he also understands that what Lord Li said is the truth. So, in that case, how can it help Japan become stronger? ”

"But you're already doing it, aren't you?" Li Huamei's words made Qin Kui speechless, and Li Huamei didn't wait for Qin Kui to speak, she had already said again, "Education is the most important part of a country's development. In fact, even if Lord Qin doesn't help, decades or even a hundred years later, Azuchi Academy will still cultivate countless talents, and they are loyal to Japan! ”

Hearing this, Qin Kui's expression changed, and he looked at Li Huamei a little strangely and asked, "What does Master Li mean......" He heard a hint of extraneous sound from Li Huamei's Huazhong.

"The talents recommended by Lord Qin must be loyal and patriotic people, and they naturally don't have any plans, but if there are more ministers of the Ming State in this family, then as long as one of them enters the core power circle in the future, they will naturally make decisions that are beneficial to the Ming Kingdom, and if there are more such people, it may not be impossible for China and Japan to achieve long-term peace." Li Huamei looked at Qin Kui and said. "And Lord Qin, you should know that the lord has a good impression of the Ming Kingdom."

"Hmm......" Qin Kui groaned when he heard this, Qin Kui could trust Oda Yoshinobu's character, because Oda Yoshinobu was too easy to see through. Lustful, willful, greedy, extravagant, ahem...... But apart from these, Oda Yoshinobu is a famous master.

Knowing people and making good use of them and employing people in an eclectic way, although he can't talk about treating talents with courtesy and virtuous corporals, he is also very polite and generous. Moreover, Oda Yoshinobu paid attention to the people's livelihood, and although he was greedy for pleasure, he never exercised tyranny......

Of course, what Li Huamei said in the end was what he cared about the most, Oda Yoshinobu had a good impression of Mingguo, but it didn't mean that the Oda family had a good impression of Mingguo. Perhaps in the generation of the Oda family, even if the world is unified, it is impossible to send troops to the Ming Kingdom, and in his opinion, it is basically impossible. But what about later?

It is true that in Qin Kui's heart, no matter how strong Japan is, it will not be the opponent of the Ming Kingdom, but it may displace hundreds of people. After all, if Japan did invade, it would definitely cause more casualties and damage than the Japanese invaders.

It's just ......" What Lord Li said does have some truth, but if those people were assimilated and devoted themselves to Japan, wouldn't we indirectly push it? Qin Kui asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Huamei shook her head, "People's hearts are unpredictable, but at least we can work hard to achieve this." After all, even if we don't do anything, after the Oda family unifies Japan, there will still be countless talents, right? ”

"Well, that's just as well. Let's write a letter to recommend a few friends. Qin Kui shook his head and sighed when he heard this, but then showed a wry smile, "But I don't know where these friends are, after all, their family backgrounds are not very good." ”

Ten years of hard study, not only time, after all, if you only read the books of sages, you can only ignore the things outside the window. But how many families can afford it? After all, it is ten years, but the actual example tells us that there are too many people who have read a lifetime of books and have not been able to get in. In the end, he could only spend the rest of his life on the street helping others write letters or something.

After getting Qin Kui's promise, Li Huamei left satisfied. In fact, although she does have a plan to prevent accidents, but more importantly, she still hopes that there will be more foreigners under Oda Yoshinobu. In this way......

After leaving Azuchi Academy, Li Huamei found Lilu again, in addition to explaining the matter about Qin Kui, and at the same time hoped that Lilu could increase her efforts to search for talents in other countries. And it doesn't have to be just for Europeans, even for people from Africa or the Arab world, they can be recruited at a high price.

"Don't worry, Sister Huamei." Lilu naturally will not refuse this, after all, the more talents, the stronger Oda Yoshinobu will be.

In March, the news of the battle at the front line reported by the Azuchi Monthly newspaper quickly spread in Kinai, and countless civilians rushed to tell each other as if the Oda family had won the war. And seeing this situation, Oda Nobunaga was naturally very satisfied. On the one hand, the panic of the civilians was alleviated, but most importantly, Oda Nobunaga saw the hearts of the people.

You must know that in the past, the civilians of Kinai would not care whether the Miyoshi family won or lost, and only reacted when the war affected them. Although it cannot be said that the civilians of Kinai will fight for the Oda family now, at least, with the support of the civilians of the territory, the war will become much easier to fight.

But at this time, a bad news, or a shocking and sad news, came, Tsukahara Buden, the sword master before Oda Yoshinobu, finally failed to resist the ravages of time, and died of illness in the sword palace at the age of 82.

"Well, I can't think of Tsukahara-sama ......" Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, but he didn't know what to say.

"His Royal Highness Shura, in fact, you don't have to be too sad, His Highness Tsukahara was 82 years old when he died, and he died with a smile." Kamiizumi Nobutsuna persuaded in a deep voice.

"82, it's indeed a rare old age~" Oda Yoshinobu nodded when he heard this. In this era when the average life expectancy is only 50, 82 years old is already a very old birthday star.

"My lord, my subordinates think that Tsukahara-sama's funeral should be grander. On the one hand, although the funeral is a joyful mourning, on the other hand, Tsukahara-sama's contribution to kendo is very great. Li Huamei said respectfully.

"Well, that's reasonable, then Xingang, this matter will be handled by you and Gujiao. You don't need to save money, just do it as big as possible! However, be attached to the identity of a swordsman! Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Ueizumi Nobutsuna and Kitada Gukyo heard this, and their tones were a little excited, although this was the funeral of Tsukahara Buden, but Oda Yoshinobu's attitude all showed that he did not forget his past contributions because of Tsukahara Buden's death.

"In addition, I will give my brother a message and ask him to come forward and ask the imperial court to posthumously seal Lord Tsukahara. In terms of swordsmanship and contribution to kendo, who in the world can compare to Tsukahara-sama? When such a person dies, he deserves a privilege that is difficult for ordinary people to obtain! And it can also inspire future generations to follow his back. Yoshinobu Oda said again.

Just hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Kitada Gukyo opened their mouths, but they were stunned. Well, even in the hearts of the two of them, Tsukahara's status is very, very high, but after all, Tsukahara is just a white body, how can he be posthumously awarded by the emperor?

"This ...... Isn't it a little ......" Kamiizumi Nobutsuna hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded respectfully. Although he also hopes that Tsukahara Buden can be posthumously sealed, if Oda Yoshinobu gets some negative reviews because of this, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. After all, they also heard that rumor.

"My lord! The subordinates also thought that this matter was not appropriate. Li Huamei also persuaded.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of letting the court chase after it, it's not a big deal. And I believe that my brother will agree with it when he hears about it. Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle.

Well, Oda Yoshinobu was not wrong, and after hearing Oda Yoshinobu's suggestion, Oda Nobunaga immediately agreed. Because Oda Nobunaga knows that as long as this matter is done, then not to mention everything, but at least the hearts of most of the swordsmen in the world will fall on the Oda family from now on. As for the imperial court? Isn't taking money just the right thing to do?

And the imperial court did not have any objections to this, although Tsukahara Bu Chuan was white, but the Oda family did not propose to give Tsukahara Bu Chuan any official position. And even if he is given an official position, what can he do? It's just a dead man.

Therefore, the imperial court generously gave Tsukahara Bu Chuan an official position of Chang Lu Shou, and at the same time gave him the title of "World Swordsman", which means that he is the teacher of all swordsmen in the world.
