What kind of character is Yoshiryu Saito in history?

Yoshiryu is known as the Monty Python, a figure comparable to his father Saito Michizo, and the father and son are very similar in three ways, the first is that they are very brave when they fight, the second is that they are flexible in governing the country, and the third is that they are also good at playing intrigue and tricks.

Of course, Sasa Narimasa did not know these inherent conclusions, but Sasa Narimasa realized that Yoshimū was not a thing in the pond through his contact with Saito Yoshiryu in Inabayama Castle these days.

Previously, Yoshiryu told Seimasa that his ambition was to become a daimyō.

But in Seimasa's view, there may be a motive to deliberately hide his ambitions, that is, Saito Yoshiryu's ambition will never be satisfied with ruling the territory of one country or two countries.

Perhaps Saito Yoshiryu's ambition is not as exaggerated and arrogant as Oda Nobunaga's, but Yoshiryu rules Mino in the heart of the world, and the matter of Kamiraku is something he has been planning for a long time.

After the last secret meeting, Saito Yoshiryu continued to feast on Narimasa, most of the time he was bragging, but Naruma also inadvertently explained some truths to Yoshima.

For example, is it better to make the road wider or narrower?

For example, is it better to have fewer and lean standing soldiers, or is it better to have more and weaker peasant soldiers?

Time flies, and night is about to fall...... Phew...... Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Chengzheng's injuries have basically healed.

Today is a large-scale evaluation meeting once a month, and the lords and commissioners of all the United States have rushed to Inabayama Castle.

In the castle tower of Inabayama Castle, more than 200 people were sitting in the dark, and the tall Saito Yoshiryu and Sasa Narumasa became more and more conspicuous in the crowd.

Saito Yoshiryu is used to being conspicuous, not to mention that he is already the lord of Mino Country.

But Sasa Seimasa sat in the first position on the left hand side of Yilong, that is, the chief position of the retainers of a family!

In the territory of Mino, not many people knew Sasa Seimasa, and when they suddenly saw a tall young samurai sitting in the position of the chief of the sect, they were all puzzled.

But Michikatsu Nagai, who was sitting next to Nagamasa, was different from everyone else, and when everyone else was staring at Sasa Narumasa, he just hung his head and silently counted the tatami mats.

Of course, Nagai Michikatsu was also curious, and of course he was also curious about Seimasa sitting here, but he didn't dare to look at it.

Yes, don't dare to look!

Nagai Michikatsu, that is, the nephew of Saito Michizo, the cousin of Saito Yoshiryu, and the young master of the Nagai clan.

In the Battle of Nagara River a year ago, he besieged Michizo with Takewaist Michichen and Komaki Genta, and finally brought back Michisan's head.

Nagai Michikatsu didn't dare to say anything about Naruma and Maeda Keiji, and insisted that Saito Michizo was what he was asking for.

As a result, Nagai Michikatsu became a great hero, and he suddenly improved several seats in the public.

But now, Nagai Michikatsu wanted him to sit in the corner before him. For no other reason, he just felt that Cheng Zheng was too terrible.

Michikatsu Nagai doesn't look at Naruma, but Naruma seems to notice him.

"Is this the young master of the Nagai clan, Dao Sheng Gongzi?"

Before the formal assessment began, Cheng Zheng turned his head and asked with a smile.

Nagai Michikatsu still lowered his head and counted the tatami mats, but pretended not to hear, and waited until a middle-aged uncle next to him coughed, and Nagai Michikatsu realized that everyone's eyes were on him.

"Exactly down there."

"I remember that a year ago in the Nagara River, it was the prince of Michikatsu who begged for the pit of Mino, please don't forget it."

Cheng Zheng got up and patted Nagai Michikatsu on the shoulder, put down such a sentence, and sat back in his place.

"Definitely, definitely!"

Although he didn't understand what Cheng Zheng meant, Nagai Michikatsu still nodded in agreement, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

Saito Yoshiryu, who was sitting at the top, patted the folding fan, and the messy hall suddenly fell silent, and it could be seen that the wealthy families in Mino were also very afraid of Saito Yoshiryu, the new lord.

"So, let's start the evaluation."

Saito Yoshiryu glanced majestically around the world, and everywhere he looked, the retainers lowered their heads one after another, but Seimasa was the only one who sat upright like that and met his gaze.

This makes Cheng Zheng stand out even more in the crowd.

Yilong frowned, and a trace of worry crossed his heart.

"First of all, announce a decree that must not be violated in the territory of Mino, below me!"

Yilong's angry voice made the retainers even more uneasy, and a small surname had already stepped forward and read it aloud with a piece of paper:

"Seeking merit: Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing has been ordained, and he can't taste the wise man and gentleman who rules the world with him? And he is virtuous, he has never been out of Lu Lane, how can he be lucky to meet? The ear of those who are above seek it. Today's decision has not yet been made, and this special talent is also urgent.

"Meng Gong is Zhao and Wei Lao is superior, not Teng and Xue Dafu. If it is available later, then how can Qi Huan dominate the world! Is there anyone who is fishing in Weibin by brown jade today? And did you have to steal the money and not meet the ignorant?

"The second and third sons are clearly and ugly, and I am the only one to move, and I have to use it.

"Signed: Twenty-three years of astronomy, Mino guards, Saito Yoshiryu."

After reading the surname, he opened the "Talent Seeking Order" to everyone.

The wealthy people were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't slow down for a long time.

Violent! It's fierce enough!

Saito Yoshiryu's hand is indeed fierce enough!

The chief of the retainers of the spectrum is Inaba Ryotsu, one of the three people in Mino, although he also reads, but he is not proficient in Sinology, and some do not understand what this merit-seeking order means.

Inaba Ryotsu tugged at the sleeve of the family's Buquan.

"This merit-seeking order is a merit-seeking order issued by Cao Cao more than a thousand years ago, and it is not bad at all."

While reminiscing about the allusions in the order to seek merit, the family Buquan pondered the meaning of Saito Yoshiryu.

"What do you mean?"

Inaba Ryotsu still doesn't understand.

This means that as long as you have talent, you can become a retainer of the lord of the country. He will be promoted regardless of his birth. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide behind Inaba Ryotsu whispered to him to clear his confusion.

Akechi Mitsuhide is actually a time-traveler from Europe, and he doesn't have these things in his memories of his previous life, but after coming to Japan, he has read a lot of books and is very proficient in Sinology. Of course, he knew the influence of Cao Cao's meritocracy order, and he also knew Saito Yoshiryu's intention to imitate Cao Cao, but what he wondered was - did Saito Yoshiryu really want Cao Cao?

Perhaps, I have never been able to see through him?

I thought that Saito Yoshiryu was just a beast with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, but now that I look at it......

Akechi Mitsuhide was a little worried.

"Report to the lord, I think that this merit-seeking order is a little inappropriate......"

Mamoru Ando, one of the three of Mino, took the lead in making a statement.

"Report to the lord, I think that this order is a little inappropriate."

The retainers hula and fell to their knees, and they all seemed to agree with Mamoru Ando.

Saito Yoshiryu smiled, he had known that there would be such an outcome.

"I said, it's not a proposal, it's an order!"

Yilong's voice gradually cooled.

"If anyone doesn't want to obey, it's okay, go out now, go back and defend your city, and I'll lead the troops there soon."

The corners of Saito Yoshiryu's mouth raised into a smile, which made the wealthy even more frightened.

- If you don't obey, you'll be seen as rebellious!

That's right, that's what Yoshiryu Saito meant.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and finally no one dared to go out.

No one dared to stand up to the giants of Mino.
