A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Yamauchi Yisheng is better than him. Xiaoheita has been following him for five or six years, and his evaluation of him has been rising.

In terms of being brave and good at fighting, it goes without saying that he practiced Tai Sword shirtless in the middle of the winter, and his body was so good that even when he was young, his father Yoshiharu Yamauchi could not compare to him.

In addition, he was originally a child of the martial arts family, and he had been practicing horse riding, archery, and spears and sticks since he was young. It would not be a problem to pick one out of ten thousand, at least three or five.

In terms of cultural level, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu had a good life. His father was already the famous master of Erwankanbun when he was born. Therefore, he was able to be educated by famous teachers from an early age, and because of his status as a member of the Yamauchi family's family, he was enthroned in Kyoto at the age of twelve.

Good guy, the first two Kōkō and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu were chatting and laughing. In addition, his father was willing to spend money. Sanjo, Konoe, Takashi, Nakayumon, Tangqiao, all the ministers were vying to make friends with him (cheating on food and drinks). Not to mention anything else, Sinology classics, haiku, Japanese songs, and Chinese poetry are all in my collection. There's no problem, it's clear and logical.

In terms of objective conditions, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is much better than his father. But as far as a daimyo is concerned, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is far behind his father.

Apart from anything else, if Yamauchi Yoshiji sticks a stick wherever he goes and does nothing, the morale of his soldiers will be greatly boosted. The reputation of thirty years of bad war cannot be compared to that of a junior like you who has been fighting for several years.

The second is the contingency on the battlefield. There are times when Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is at a loss, but Yamauchi Yoshiharu is always at ease in both smooth battles and headwind situations. He never said that he would show his inner state. Even though he supported the Suwa family and was defeated, he still ran back unhurriedly.

At this point, the soldiers will trust Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who also distinguishes rewards and punishments, and is fair and selfless. Therefore, the soldiers were not fighting for the Yamauchi family so much as they were fighting for Yamauchi Yoshiharu. The large and small wealthy Chinese families in the Yamauchi family are also served by Yamauchi Yoshiharu, not the Yamauchi family.

Now it seems that in the battle formation, fighting in close quarters and setting an example for the three armies, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has achieved full marks. However, the ability to command the entire army, to be unafraid in the face of danger, to remain emotionless and indifferent to emotions, to not change his attitude when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, means that the righteous victory in the mountain is thousands of miles away from his father.

The other is that Yamauchi Yoshiharu is so scheming that he can count two steps back if he takes one step. This was something he had trained during thirty years of conquest during the Warring States Period, and others could only stare in disbelief.

When Yamauchi Yoshikatsu encounters an emergency, he doesn't have the means to respond immediately. But now that he has calmed down and can think and analyze quietly, his IQ has skyrocketed, and he can compete with his father.

Kiso Yoshimasa ran back to Fukushima Castle, and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu started talking.

According to the usual practice, if Kiso Yoshimasa is caught, he will basically die. The Yamauchi family is here to completely defeat the Kiso family, and they will not leave him in exchange for some money, food and land. Therefore, Kiso Yoshimasa had already estimated his fate when he arrived at the tent. He did not beg for mercy, but he begged to be killed and spared from torture.

But Yamauchi Yoshikatsu didn't think so. He wanted to take advantage of Kiso Yoshimasa to see if this kid was really determined to die.

So he asked people to untie Kiso Yoshimasa, give him clothes and cushions, and see if Kiso Yoshimasa would accept it.

It was obvious that Kiso Yoshimasa didn't really want to die, he was just talking about it. When Yamauchi Yoshikatsu opened his mouth and showed less hostility, Kiso Yoshimasa also began to test Yamauchi Yoshikatsu.

He asked for a basin of clean water to freshen up, just to test Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's patience.

But Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was testing him. It is understandable that a mortal person should die decently before dying. The so-called gentleman will inevitably be crowned after death, and the official will sit on the throne after death. Kiso Yoshimasa, the famous warrior after Kiso Yoshinaka, should die cleanly, so washing his face with water is a reasonable request.

But he actually subconsciously disliked the cold river water, which proved that what he wanted in his heart was a basin of hot water. This is a pursuit of comfort in life, which cannot happen to a person who really wants to die.

After Kiso Yoshimasa had freshened up, logically he should either quietly commit seppuku or wait to be ordered to be beheaded. If Kiso Yoshimasa really wants to die, he should calmly wait for the final trial of Yamauchi Yoshikatsu.

But he still wanted to drink water, which proved that his inner desire to survive was very strong.

So when Yamauchi Yoshikatsu saw him taking the initiative to get water, he knew that the matter was completely settled, and immediately gave him food, clothing, horses and gifts, so that he could go back to Fukushima Castle and make his own decisions.

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu analyzed Kiso Yoshimasa's psychological activities at that time very accurately. After he explained it carefully, everyone in the tent was convinced.

You, the Yamauchi family, are indeed wily and sophisticated!

Yamauchi Yoshiharu is already the ultimate yinbi who never catches a rabbit but doesn't let go of hawks. Yamauchi Yoshikatsu is only in his twenties, but he has learned half of his father's skills, which has to be admired.

"We only need to wait for one more hour, and we can send people into the city to persuade him to surrender!" Yamauchi Yoshikatsu looked very much like his father who even took Harunobu Takeda seriously.

"It's yours! Norima." Hosokawa Tarime obviously didn't understand it at all before, but now that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu has explained it clearly, she suddenly realized that her little friend who peed on mud has become so deceitful.

"What His Highness said is absolutely true, but what should be the conditions for persuading him to surrender?" Matsumi Sai was an experienced man and knew that Yamauchi Yoshikatsu had already been involved in the case and was waiting for someone to hand him a microphone.

Of course Yoshikatsu Yamauchi has already thought about it! The Kiso family surrendered immediately, and at the same time Kiso Yoshiyasu abdicated the throne and became a monk at Shoryakuji Temple under Fuchu Castle, acting as a hostage in disguise. After Kiso Yoshimasa became the head of the family, he married his sister Iwahime to Yamauchi Yoshikatsu as a concubine, and his younger brother Kamimatsu Yoshitoyo became the banner of the Yamauchi family and sent them to the castle of Fuchu.

In addition, Tamataki Castle was handed over to the Yamauchi family to send troops to garrison, and the Kiso streets were doubled and renovated at the expense of the Kiso family. This ensured that his ability of 4,130 guanwen was blocked, and only 200 guanwen were cut out.

Xiao Pingtai listened to this condition, which was strict but acceptable. It should be the best plan after Yamauchi Yoshikatsu's careful consideration.

"There is still something wrong. If Your Highness takes the daughter of the Kiso family as a concubine at this moment, but Your Highness has not yet had a baby, if the Kiso family unexpectedly gives birth to an heir, there will be many hidden dangers!" The old man suddenly said something unpredictable in the future. problem.

"My lord, you are worrying too much. There is nothing wrong with the heir." Yamauchi Yoshikatsu blushed.

This news became big, and everyone started to gossip. The brat Yoshikatsu Yamauchi actually had a child. Could it be that he has a mistress outside? It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance and the sea cannot be measured!

Yamauchi Yoshikatsu saw that everyone had misunderstood and quickly clarified.

"Madam is three months pregnant!"
