Chapter 48 Politics

Yu Qiuhei plans to take in Honda Nosuke, which is the future Honda Tadaoka - Zhang Fei of Japan, Huashi, the first in Japan and the most powerful general in the Warring States Period. This samurai who combines many titles has changed. Yu Qiuhei is very interested in witnessing and cultivating him to become a talent.

He planned to place Kuronosuke in the Qinwei first and ask the Qinwei to help take care of him. After he asked about the way, he found the military camp where his subordinates were.

As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked. Although his nearly two subordinates had changed into casual clothes, each of them put on a helmet with red leaves on his head. The casual clothes on his lower body and the helmet on his upper body looked like a pipe repairman.

"What are you doing with helmets?" Yu Qiuping asked loudly in surprise.

"Hey! Sir! It's Sir!" A foot lighter who saw Yu Qiuping shouted first, and then the entire barracks surrounded him. A large ocean of red leaves surrounded Yu Qiuping, leaving Yu Qiuping at a loss.

"Sir, ask us why we wear red leaves?" Mimaezaki Nakahide said in front of everyone, "It's so handsome! It's cool! We wore this red leaves and walked around the city last night. Everyone who saw us would give us a thumbs up and praise a hero!"

"This is the most glorious time in my life!" Jigang Shengzheng shouted in a loud voice, "Call us are Lord Yuqiu's subordinates, you are domineering! Who doesn't give way to our Red Leaf Army!"

"Red Leaf Army?" Yu Qiuping said in confusion.

"The people in Okazaki Castle praised us like this last night!" Mimaezaki Nakahide took over the conversation, "Hehe, we are great heroes! The boss doesn't charge any money when he goes to a restaurant to drink!"

"The restaurant is run by Semaki. People don't charge you money." Fukushima Ansei smiled helplessly, "Sir, they led their brothers to make a fuss in the city last night. No matter how they dissuaded them, they didn't listen. Lord Charlie couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he went to practice arrows by himself. And Yudong Ogawa is still drinking unconsciously."

"As for it, how long has it been since I saw the wine?" Yu Qiuping laughed, "Tell everyone good news..."

"I know!" Yumaezaki Nakahide interrupted before Yu Qiuping spoke, "The lord was promoted to general and was given a family pattern personally. The name of our reserve team was also named Chang Panbei by the family governor!"

"And there is more, we Lord Yuqiu have also been given a horse seal in person! The Red Bird Military Flag!" Mimaezaki Nakahide shouted excitedly, "This is the greatest gift from the Imagawa family in hundreds of years!"

"How come you all know?" Yu Qiuping's words were drowned in the cheers of everyone, but their hearts were sweet and happy. These brothers who lived and died with them are now proud of being Yu Qiuping's subordinates and the red leaf.

Guonosuke looked at Yu Qiuhei, and his eyes showed an expression of envy and yearning.

"Oh by the way, the personal guard." Yu Qiuhei took Guonosuke to the personal guard. "This child is called Honta Guonosuke. He is from the Matsue family. He will temporarily entrust us Yu Qiuhei family to take care of him. I may not be convenient in the city, so I will give it to you first and take care of him in the military camp."

"No problem, please don't worry, sir." The personal guard immediately understood the meaning of Yu Qiuhei's words. He squatted down and looked at Guonosuke, "Is Guonosuke? Is it okay to follow me, the one-eyed brother these days."

"Oh, boy, are you here to join our Yuqiu family?" Mimaezaki Nakahide obviously didn't understand Yuqiuhei's hint, "Do you want to wear this red leaf? It's so cool!"

"No." Guonosuke looked at Omaezaki Nakahide coldly, "I am from the Matsuhide family."

"Oh! You boy!" Mimaezaki Nakahide touched the ashes and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean!"

"Okay, Zhongxiu, stop making trouble." Yu Qiuping stopped, "Here..."

Before he finished speaking, Amano Keidu's voice suddenly came from the door. "Sir."

"Hey, Jingde." Yu Qiuping turned around and looked at Amano Jingde. Although he did not carry Hongye's helmet, he didn't know where to get a ribbon, tie Hongye with a ribbon, and hang it around his neck. The crow still stopped on his shoulders and looked at Yu Qiuping with a look of delicious corpse.

"Your Highness Sena is invited to the Tianshou Pavilion to discuss matters." Amano Keidu said.

"Then I'll leave first, don't make a big fuss. Personal guards, Fukushima Ansei, you two are responsible for the discipline." Yu Qiuping said a few words and walked towards Tianshou Pavilion with Amano Kyoto.

"How is it, Jingde, have you been promoted?" Yu Qiuping asked with a smile.

"His Highness Sena allows his request to be sent to the Lord as a member of Yuqiu's family in the future." Amano Keito said.

"Hey? Aren't you a samurai's samurai? Isn't it demotion to be a retainer for me? I'm just a general." Yu Qiuhei said in surprise. "No matter what, welcome to join Yu Qiu's family."

"This is my decision." Amano Keito looked at Yu Qiuhei, "Also, I will call His Highness Sena the future, and the Lord is already his retainer."

After arriving at Tianshou Pavilion, Amano Keito said goodbye and returned to the barracks, while Yu Qiuhei was taken to the second floor of Tianshou Pavilion. After entering, he found that Semine Shin was already sitting at the table waiting for him. He was wearing a long robe today, which was quite a bit like a great scholar.

"Your Highness." Yu Qiu paralleled the etiquette of a retainer who had met the head of the family.

"Hongyejun, no gift." Semine Shishi raised his hand and signaled Yu Qiuping to sit down.

"Since I am already a subordinate of Your Highness, I will not take you." Yu Qiuping bowed, "Your Highness just called Hongye."

"Okay, Hongye," Semine Shizu smiled, "I'm so anxious to come to you to give you a general introduction to the political situation within the Imakawa family. You have only been here for half a year and have already been in the position of General of the Assistant. I'm afraid you don't know anything and will cause trouble as a result. Most people have been able to reach your position after more than ten years or even decades of experience."

"First, generally speaking, the sphere of influence in the family is divided into the fiefs of our subordinates and the fiefs of our retainers, and the same is true for the troops. You can see from the flags behind us. The troops directly under the family are all wearing two-point flags. For example, our Semi-family family and the Asahina family have their own family-patterned flags. The forces of our retainers are divided into our direct jurisdiction and other retainers. You, the Yuqiu family of Hongye, are the retainers of our subordinates, the retainers of our subordinates."

"Then let me tell you about the factions within the Imakawa family. I think you may have noticed it," said Serashi Toshi, "It can be divided into four direct jurisdictions of the family governors; our Imakawa family has many forces, such as our Imakawa family, or the Sekiguchi family; the genealogy retainers such as the Asahina family and the Okabe family; and the Weaka family and the small wealthy families who were forced to surrender when the Imakawa family expanded, such as the Matsuhide family and the Imai family."

"And there are several main contradictions in the Imakawa family. First, there is a contradiction between the family governor and his retainers. This is a great family. The family governor hopes to concentrate power in his own hands, while the retainers desire more power. Even if there is a good relationship like me and the family governor's hall, it will be scruples when it comes to family power disputes."

"The second one is the conflict between the retainers." Semeishi Toshi smiled bitterly, "This is mainly the conflict between the Asahina family and the Okabe family. As the two most powerful retainers, they have controlled nearly 30% of the strength of the family together. However, the two sides often interfere with each other. Two more subtle groups have formed around these two families. The Okabe family has a good relationship with the retainers other than the Matsuhina family. The Matsuhira family is still the target of the Imakawa family's key suppression, so the Okabe family will naturally not be so ugly. The Asahina family has a better relationship with us. However, due to our special identity and position, we must also be reserved when supporting the Asahina family, so the Okabe family has an advantage in the competition."

"In terms of diplomacy, the two families also have their own emphasis." Semine Shin-sama continued, "The Hon family and the Takeda family formed a three-country marriage alliance, also known as the Kasai-sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-Sama-S

In Yuqiehei's previous life, after the demise of the Imakawa family, Okabe Motonobu surrendered to the Takeda family. The Asahina Taisho protected the Imakawa family's territory and fled to Izu and Hojo family.

"Because of such a delicate situation at home, you need to be very careful in every move." Asahi Toshi Semei's words made Yu Qiupi's head grow bigger.

"Don't be impatient, Hongye," said Serashi Toshi smiled, "These are all basic skills."

"Do you know the profound meaning of the family governor's hall to you a series of rewards and arrangements?" He looked at Yu Qiuping, who shook his head honestly.

"Ah, there's nothing you can do. After all, you're still so young, you can't understand these things, learn slowly." Semei Shin-shou explained, "The family governor values ​​you very much. He wants to cultivate you to become the next generation of the Imakawa family and let you be the wings of the Imakawa family for generations. You should have allowed you to grow slowly, but the family will have big moves within two years and will have a lot of opportunities. If you can't be in the middle and high-level position, the experience you get is far from enough."

"So the family governor is very particular and promoted you quickly." The words of Senashi Toshi were almost the same as those of Imakawa Yoshimoto. Yu Qiuhei had to admire the political sense of Sinashi. As expected, honest and generous people have a good way of dealing with people. He also probably knew that the big moves mentioned by Imakawa Yoshimoto and Senashi Toshimoto should be the matter of the Imakawa family in 1560, that is, they would enter the Nijo Imperial Office and command the world.

"The family governor's hall gives you so much favor, but it is actually showing your attitude to others who are dissatisfied with your quick promotion." Serezushi pointed to Yu Qiuhei, "You, Yu Qiuhei, are the celebrity in the family governor's hall, so that they can't think of restricting you."

"However, in our Japanese Daming country, the retainers below still hold about half of the resources in their homes, and their strength and views on the governors cannot be ignored. Therefore, the governor hall of the governors did not allow you to become his direct deployment, but directly faced the runs from other retainers, but let you stay in Sema's house."

"You are a newcomer. Apart from the Asahina family and Semaki, you have nothing to do with you, and you don't have your own wings, so it's hard to gain a foothold in the court. Therefore, let you experience it for a while under my protection, avoid direct competition, and cultivate your own power. I, Semaki Toshi, have always been a good person in the family," Semaki Toshi laughed. "If others want to squeeze the red leaves, they have to pass my barrier first, and it is probably because of my face, it will be left alone."

"When you get promoted again," said Serashi Toshi, "You will probably be appointed as a direct commander by the family governor and share the affairs for the family governor. At that time, you will directly face the challenges that families like the Okabe family have to challenge you."

After ending the conversation with Toshi Semei, Yu Qiuhei felt that he had opened the door to a new world. He didn't know that there were so many things to pay attention to in politics. There were still a lot of things he had to do and learn.

When he was going downstairs from the stairs on the second floor of Tianshou Pavilion, Yu Qiuping suddenly met the girl head-on. However, there were many maids following the girl, and there were also many retainers coming and going around. Yu Qiuping and the girl could not say hello to each other.
