Chapter 1022 Soft Power

Oda Nobunaga quickly finished the conditions. He lowered his head, as if he was still staring at the paper in front of him. In fact, his thoughts had already flown to the Ninth Heaven. As a samurai, loyalty to the emperor and serving the country was an inevitable choice. At that time, the great soldiers of the Omotomoto arrived every night, and the four islands were in danger. At that time, the whole country gave up their differences and united to fight against the powerful enemy.

Although the Yuan army failed in the typhoon, that time it still deeply shocked the whole country of Japan. Oda Nobunaga was ambitious and wanted to unify Japan in the world, and I was the only one who was the only one. If I agreed to the conditions of the young man in front of me, it would be equivalent to giving up the power of Japan.

When the Ming Dynasty opened trade, the endless goods poured in, and the wealth of Japan would flow out like water. Negotiating tariffs and setting up a bank bank was equivalent to opening the country's doors and asking for it, allowing the Ming Dynasty merchants to travel in Japan and see through the top and bottom...

Just thinking about it makes people feel numb and they can't agree no matter what, otherwise he will be a sinner in Japan and a sinner for the ages!

Some things cannot be done even if you die!

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

Ping An waved his hand and stopped him, "Your Excellency, we do not seek your country's land. We only think about fair trade, and seeking profits. It is good for your country and for you. We value your courage and choose to cooperate with you. If you are stupid, there are more people waiting for us!"

Oda Nobunaga pondered for a moment, and suddenly suddenly rose up. The five-official twisted and reached out to hold the handle of the knife.

"Young man, I will not accept any threats from anyone, and no one can do it!"

Swish!

The samurai sword was drawn out, and the light shone brightly, as if it was a lightning bolt.

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

"Don't move!"

Ping An asked the two of them to put away their weapons, change to a more comfortable posture, and lean against the tatami.

"Oda Nobunaga, put your knife away and prepare to compete for the world. Only force is in your mind, and it is not far from defeat. If you want to kill one or two people, solve the problem. That is something that idiots do. It is best to pray for us to be safe, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty can be sieged Japan at any time! Let me tell you, there will be no Kanfeng to help you this time!"

The room was filled with Peachian's arrogant laughter. Facing this young man, Oda Nobuya, who was murderous, was actually scared. His hands were trembling. Although he had only one moment, he was still caught by Peachian.

"Hissergeant Oda Nobunaga, I know you have great ambitions and want to reform your country, but I have to say that you don't know how to govern a country. What you have to do was successful in the Qin Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. The monarchs of Qin have been unconventional, promoting talents, uniting and uniting, farming and fighting to establish a country. Qin Shihuang sent millions of troops to clear the world, unifying the world, writings and writings, chariots and tracks, abolishing the feudals, conducting counties, currency, official system, writings, land, weights and measures..."

Every time Heian said something, the general translator told Oda Nobunaga in time that Oda soon had a rapid breathing and his eyes widened. Yes, it was not wrong at all. What he wanted to do was to destroy all the vassal families, all the old forces, and put all the power in one hand. Could it be that he was really following the path of Qin Shihuang as the young man said?

Oda Nobunaga was confused...

"Do you know why so many people opposed you? Why is there a huge encirclement? Just read "Records of the Grand Historian" and you will clearly see how similar the situation in front of you when the six countries jointly attacked Qin.

"How did Qin defeat the six countries?" Oda Nobunaga asked curiously and urgently.

Ping An smiled faintly, "Do you want to imitate the Qin Emperor? Don't think about it. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, the Chinese sages have gone through countless debates, countless battles, hundreds of schools of thought, and the sages have fought for wonders and beauty. In the end, the sages finally decided on a feasible path. Although there were occasional closures and restoration, they quickly disappeared. The world's general trend is vast and unstoppable. There is no debate or consensus in your country. Even if your subordinates are just greedy for the power and wealth you give them. If you destroy the old aristocratic princes, new princes will be produced, and there will never be any end."

boom!

Some words seemed to be thunder, and they fell on their heads, which made Oda Nobunaga feel dizzy. For a long time, the problem that puzzled him was finally solved.

Why is the stronger your power, the fewer people support you, and the more opposition you are increasing day by day. Even your retainers do not really follow you. They are just intimidated by their authority and have to execute orders.

Because he lacks something, this thing is called: Thought!

"Only when people recognize your propositions, you can continue to become stronger in the battle. The knife will only make people convinced, and only thoughts can make people convinced! And no one in your country has this kind of thought. I have to say that this is your greatest regret." Ping'an remembered that his father once said that Japan's history is not short, but he has never produced a real strategist, no philosopher, and no thinker.

He had a strong feeling when he stepped onto the land of Japan. Their houses and clothes still retained the shadow of the Tang Dynasty. This is the remains of the Dahua reform. Their temples are quiet and elegant, full of Zen. But they seemed to have never thought about why they should wear this way, why they should live in such a house, why the temples should be away from the hustle and bustle, and they knew it but not the reason, so there was a joke that monks would marry and have children and regard the temple as family.

"Only the Ming Dynasty can provide your most valuable governance philosophy, make your behavior reasonable, and make those who support you wholeheartedly."

The unparalleled persuasion made Oda Nobunaga convinced first, and he hesitated: "Are you really willing to help me?" His tone was full of doubt.

"I said that Beiyang Company is to solve problems for people. I can hire the best civil servants for you to teach your subordinates to clear the land, collect taxes, formulate laws, decide cases, maintain local security, and manage the operation of the state. Only by establishing a complete administrative system can those vassal forces have no chance to fight back. Only by promoting Confucian education can the warriors willingly put down their swords, establish imperial examinations, and give opportunities to the lower-class people, and they will truly agree with this country... I can arrange your people in front of you

Go to the Ming Dynasty and receive the purest education. They will return to your country and even help you overthrow the Emperor and make you the real lord of Japan! By the way, there is another thing. Don’t you hate Buddhism? Didn’t you claim to be the Sixth Heavenly Demon King? Didn’t you see those temples with countless believers, gathering infinite wealth, and are angry and afraid? In the history of China, there were three martial arts and one sect to destroy Buddhism. Our literati can also help you disintegrate your country’s Zen Buddhism and let them collapse, and you will never be able to interfere with your country’s secular affairs again…”

After Ping An finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the monkey to bring the purple clay pot over, put it beside his mouth, and took a sip of warm tea, moistening his throat.

Oda Nobunaga has been completely confused. What an amazing idea in the world, can you rely solely on the samurai sword in your hand? No, absolutely not, you must have the rationality of rule and must have ideas as a backing.

Unify the great unity, follow the example of the Celestial Empire, and comprehensively transform the Chinese nation!

This is the prescription that Ping An prescribed for him. Although Japan has gradually lost its respect for the superior country since the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the wealthy and huge Ming Dynasty still has a huge shadow, covering the sky of Japan.

Exploring the distorted contradictions and pathological roots of Japanese culture, the harsh living conditions of the four islands are also caused by huge pressure from China.

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

However, the choice of national policy is much more difficult than a transaction. Oda Nobunaga was caught in a battle between heaven and man. After a long time, he took a long breath.

"Dear friends, this is a difficult decision. I need to think about it. To do such a big thing, I also need you to prove your strength."

"No problem, we can sign a draft agreement, you accept some of the conditions, I will send the first batch of arms and twenty civil servants."

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

...

"Ping'an, you won't really want to help Japan, right?" Qi Anguo said in a muffled voice.

"What do you think?"

"The Japanese country is brutal and tyrannical, and the wolfish ambitions. If they become really strong, they will be a big problem!"

"Hahaha, Brother An Guo, do you believe in Confucianism to make a country stronger?"

Qi Anguo was suddenly asked, and thought about it, if the Japanese put down their samurai swords, picked up the Four Books and Five Classics, and started to take the imperial examinations and select scholars, and value culture over military affairs, perhaps it would be harmless to people and animals.

"No, no!" The monkey shook his head vigorously, "Prince Tang taught us that everything is exceptional. If Japan learns to unify and retains the spirit of martial arts, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?"

"Is the Great Unification so simple? What do we do?" Ping'an lifted the Caoyou up and smiled faintly, "Send this thing to the Maori family and tell them to hand over the Shijian Yinshan, otherwise you will wait for the sixth day of the Demon King to destroy them!"

...

"Oh, this kid can even make trouble than me!"

Tang Yi leaned on the chair, and he had read the secret report in his hand three times, including the conversation between Heian and Oda Nobunaga, which was word for word.

It’s true that you need to exercise your child, but is the teenager who is willing to let him take risks?

As early as when he was fighting against the Japanese, Tang Yi bribed some Japanese samurai and put them back to Japan. After subduing Wang Zhi and others, Tang Yi used his connections in Japan to install a lot of people. Although Japan was extremely xenophobic, it could not withstand the water-matching time. Moreover, Japan also urgently needed the products of the Ming Dynasty. The official trade was not clear, so it was going to proceed secretly, including the Shimazu family, the Maori family, and even Oda Nobunaga.

This secret report was sent back by Mao Haifeng.

"The little guy knows that he has made great progress in playing with soft power."

Tang Yi smiled and put his wife on the shoulder, "Don't you feel at ease this time?"
