Chapter 1022: Soft Power

Oda Nobunaga quickly finished reading the conditions, he lowered his head, seemed to be still staring at the paper in front of him, in fact, his thoughts had flown to the nine heavens, as a samurai, loyalty to the country is an inevitable choice, at the beginning of the Great Yuan soldiers, the night came, the four islands were in danger, at that time, the whole country, all gave up their differences, united as one, and resisted the strong enemy.

Although the Yuan army was defeated by the typhoon, that time still deeply shocked the whole country of Wa. Oda Nobunaga is ambitious, and the world is full of martial arts, that is, to unify the Japanese kingdom, and he is the only one. If you agree to the conditions of the young man in front of you, it is equivalent to handing over the power of the Wa Kingdom to others.

The opening of the Fu trade, the endless influx of goods in the Ming Dynasty, the wealth of the Wa State will flow out like water, negotiate tariffs, set up a bank, which is equivalent to opening the country, to take what is needed, to allow the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to travel in the Wa State, to see through the top and bottom......

Just thinking about it makes people's scalps tingle, and he can't agree to it no matter what, otherwise he will be a sinner in the Wa Kingdom, a sinner through the ages!

There are some things that you can't do even if you die!

"I ......" Oda Nobunaga was about to refuse.

Ping An waved his hand and stopped him, "Your Excellency, we do not covet your land, what we think about is nothing more than fair trade, and we seek profit from this, which is beneficial to your country and Your Excellency. We value your courage before we choose to cooperate with you, if you are stupid, there are more people waiting for us! ”

Oda Nobunaga groaned for a moment, then suddenly burst out, his facial features distorted, and he reached out and pressed the hilt of the knife.

"Young man, I will not accept anyone's threats, no one!"

Swish!

The katana was drawn, and the brilliance shone brightly, like a bolt of lightning.

Qi Anguo and the monkey jumped up instantly, and they also drew their swords.

"Don't move!"

Heian asked the two of them to put away their weapons, change into a more comfortable posture, and recline on the tatami mats.

"Oda Nobunaga, put away your sword, and prepare to fight the world, the only force in your mind is force, and you are not far from defeat. If you want to kill one or two people, you can solve the problem, that's a fool's job. It's best to pray that we are safe and sound, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty can set foot on the Wa Kingdom at any time! Tell you, there won't be a kamikaze to help you this time! ”

The room was filled with Heian arrogant laughter, and in the face of this young man, the murderous Oda Shin was actually scared, his hands were trembling, although it was only for a moment, but he was still caught by Heian.

"Your Excellency Oda Nobunaga, I know that you have great ambitions and want to renovate your country, but I have to say that you don't know how to govern a country yet, and what you have to do has been successful in the Qin Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. The monarchs of the Qin State were eclectic, promoted talents, combined vertical and horizontal, cultivated and fought to establish the country, Qin Shi Huang waved a million male soldiers, swept away Liuhe, unified the world, the book was the same text, the car was on the same track, the abolition of the sub-seal, the county and county, the currency, the official system, the writing, the field, the weights and measures, ......"

Every time Heian said a word, the interpreter told Oda Nobunaga in time, and soon Oda's breath was short, his eyes widened, yes, not wrong at all, what he wanted to do was to destroy all the princes' families, all the old forces, and take all the power in the hands of one person, could it be that he was really following the path of Qin Shi Huang as the young man said?

Oda Nobunaga was confused......

"Do you know why so many people are against you? Why is there a huge encirclement? As long as you read the "Historical Records", you will clearly understand how similar the situation in front of you is when the six countries jointly attacked the Qin State. ”

"How did the Qin State defeat the Six Kingdoms?" Oda Nobunaga asked curiously and hurriedly.

Ping An smiled faintly, "You want to emulate Emperor Qin?" Don't think about it, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the Chinese sages have been debated countless times, competed countless times, and fought for hundreds of theories. In the end, the sages finally identified a feasible path, and although there were occasional restorations, they all quickly disappeared, and the general trend of the world was unstoppable. There is no debate at all in your country, there is no consensus, even if the people under your command are only greedy for the power and wealth you give them, you destroy the old princes, and you will produce new princes, and there will be no end. ”

Rumble!

The words seemed to be thunder, falling on his head, shaking Oda Nobunaga. The puzzle that had puzzled him for a long time was finally solved.

Why is it that the stronger his own power, the fewer people who support him, and the growing opposition forces, including his own retainers, do not really follow him, they are just intimidated by their own authority and have to carry out orders.

Because there's one thing he's missing, and it's called: Mind!

"Only when people agree with you can you grow stronger in battle. The knife will only make people take it orally, and only the thought can make people happy and convincing! And this kind of thinking, no one in your country has it, and I have to say that this is your greatest regret. Ping An remembered that his father had said that the history of the Japanese Kingdom was not short, but it had never produced real strategists, philosophers, and thinkers.

When he stepped on the land of the Wa Kingdom, he had a strong feeling, their houses, clothes, still retain the shadow of the Tang Dynasty, this is the relics of Dahua, their temples are quiet and elegant, full of Zen. But they don't seem to have thought about why they dress like this, why they live in such a house, why the temple should be far away from the hustle and bustle, and they don't know why, so there is a joke that the monk marries a wife and has children and treats the temple as a home.

"Only Da Ming can provide you with the most precious concept of governance, make your behavior reasonable, and make the people who support you die."

The incomparable persuasiveness first convinced Oda Nobunaga, and he hesitated: "Are you really willing to help me?" The tone was full of suspicion.

"As I said, the Beiyang Company is to solve people's problems, and I can hire the best civil officials for you, and let them teach your subordinates to clear the land, collect taxes, formulate laws, adjudicate cases, maintain local security, and manage the operation of the country. Only by establishing a complete administrative system will those princely forces have no chance to fight back. Only by promoting Confucian education can the samurai willingly lay down their swords, establish the imperial examination, and give opportunities to the people at the bottom, so that they can truly identify with the country...... I can arrange for your people to go to the Ming Dynasty to receive the purest education, they will return to your country, and they can even help you overthrow the emperor and make you the true lord of the Wa Kingdom! By the way, there's one more thing, don't you hate Buddhism, aren't you the self-proclaimed Sixth Heaven Demon King? Isn't it because those monasteries have countless believers and amass infinite wealth, and they are angry and afraid? In the history of China, there have been three martial arts and one sect to destroy the Buddha, and our literati can also help you disintegrate your country's Zen Buddhism, let them fall apart, and never again be able to interfere in the secular affairs of your country......"

After Ping'an finished speaking, he beckoned and asked the monkey to bring the purple clay pot over, put it to his mouth, took a sip of warm tea, and moistened his throat.

Oda Nobunaga has been completely blindfolded, the world is full of martial arts, what a great idea, can you just rely on the katana in your hand? No, absolutely not, there must be a rationality to rule, there must be an idea to back it up.

Great unification, emulate the Celestial Empire, and fully neutralize!

This is the prescription that Ping An prescribed to him, although since the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom has gradually lost its respect for the Shang Kingdom, but the rich and huge Ming Dynasty is still a huge shadow, shrouded in the sky over the Wa Kingdom.

It explores the root cause of the distorted contradictions and pathologies of the Japanese culture, the harsh living conditions of the four islands, and the huge pressure of China.

There is no doubt that there is a market for the second Dahua reform.

It's just that the choice of national focus is far more difficult than a transaction, Oda Nobunaga fell into the battle between heaven and man, and for a long time, he took a long breath.

"Dear friend, this is a difficult decision, I need to think, to do such a big thing, I also need you to prove my strength."

"No problem, we can initialize an agreement, you accept part of the conditions, I send the first batch of arms, and twenty civilian officials."

Oda Nobunaga thought for a long time, and finally nodded and lifted the brush in his hand.

……

"Ping'an, you don't really want to help the Wa Kingdom, do you?" Qi Anguo said in a sullen voice.

"What do you think?"

"The Japanese country is barbaric and tyrannical, and the wolf is ambitious, if they are really strong, they will be in great trouble!"

"Hahaha, Brother An Guo, do you believe that Confucianism can make a country strong?"

Qi Anguo was asked all of a sudden, thinking about it, if the Japanese put down their samurai swords, picked up the Four Books and Five Classics, and began to take the imperial examination, emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts, maybe it would really be harmless to people and animals.

"No, no!" The monkey shook his head vigorously, "Tang Xiangye taught us that there are exceptions to everything, in case the Wa Kingdom learns the great unification and retains the martial spirit, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?" ”

"Is it so simple to unify and what are we doing!" Ping An lifted the grass covenant and smiled faintly, "Send this thing to the Maori family, tell them, hand over the Iwami Silver Mountain, or wait for the sixth day demon king to destroy them!" ”

……

"Alas, this kid can toss better than me!"

Tang Yi leaned back in his chair, and he had read the secret report in his hand three times, including the conversation between Heian and Oda Nobunaga, all of which were word-for-word.

It's true to train children, but the little doll who is only a teenager, is Tang Dashoufu willing to let him take risks?

As early as when he resisted the Japanese in that year, Tang Yi bought some warriors from the Japanese State, put them back into the Japanese State, and after subduing Wang Zhi and others, Tang Yi used his connections in the Japanese State to install a lot of personnel, although the Japanese State was extremely xenophobic, but it could not stand the water grinding work, and the Japanese State was also in urgent need of the goods of the Ming Dynasty, and the official trade was not accessible, so it had to be carried out secretly, including the Shimazu family, the Maori family, and even around Oda Nobunaga, there were Tang Yi's eyeliner.

This secret report was sent back by Mao Haifeng.

"Little things know how to play soft power, and they have made a lot of progress."

Tang Yi smiled and hugged his wife's shoulder, "Are you relieved this time?"

Wang Yueying had tears in the corners of her eyes and nodded vigorously, "My son has grown up!" (To be continued.) )
