Chapter 166 Thirty percent of the snowball
After hearing the metaphor of Hideo's image, everyone thought it was right. Even Takato Fujido, who had been cautious, nodded in agreement: "My lord, the Ministry of Governor and the Ministry of Governor are the three most important forces in the world. In terms of strength alone, although the Ministry of Governor has been cut by Ueno, it still has nearly 2.1 million stones of knowledge and action, which is undoubtedly the world's largest name; the family's height is 1.8 million, and it is the second strongest force in the world following it; in the end, the Ministry of Governor, who is left far behind with his 190,000 knowledge and action, which is not afraid at all.
But fighting for dominance in the world is not a challenge, nor does anyone have the most knowledge and practice, but the most important thing is the potential strength of each company, which is the so-called mobilization power.
Just as the internal mobilization is required before going to war, under the current situation, our family must mobilize all the forces that can be used as much as possible to achieve higher grouping."
"Group?" Shima Kiyoshi nodded slightly, "Did you divide the army into several legions like Nobunaga?"
"Idiot is close." Takato Fujido knocked Kiyoshishima's head with a folding fan and said ashamedly: "It's really impossible to do without war even if you take a step. What I call grouping is mainly a kind of alliance in the overall situation, rather than a simple military allocation.
Although grouping is a word compiled by the minister, it has indeed happened and has formed a force that cannot be ignored."
Hearing this, Hideo couldn't help frowning and said in a soft voice: "You mean the Oei school, are you?"
Takato Fujido nodded: "The lord, Hikari, is the Oei civil servant faction headed by the Ministry of Justice. Although he often compares him with the Oei school, it is not actually the case. As Takabu said just now, the Oei school is just a loose alliance with the gimmick of the Kitamasa. They have no actual leaders. Moreover, Daming is in charge of each other and disobeys each other. This lack of core group is just a mere appearance and cannot confront the Oei school at all.
The Oshima Susoo was obviously much smarter. He knew how much he was. In the future, Ishigao was just a medium-sized daimyo and could not fight Kato and Fukushima alone. Therefore, since he became a staff member of the Taigao, he had a little decision-making power. He worked hard to unite the daimyo and officials who were the same as his experience and were dissatisfied with the Ohashi school. In the early stage, mainly the Nagamoto Nagamoto, the Nagashu Masato family and the Maeda Gen. In the later stage, as the group's strength grew, it began to absorb powerful daimyo or his retainers to participate in this small group headed by himself. The most typical of them were Satake Yoshinori of Takara, the Hokage Konishi Governor, the Mori family's Ankori Meeki, the Kobayagawa family's Yamaguchi Sonaga, and the Uesugi family's Naoe.
The first two are both powerful daming. One has Changlu and the other has a fat half. With their support, the strength of the governing ministry will be most directly improved; the latter three are core retainers under the command of Weili Daming. Although they are a companion minister, you have heard of their daming.
Because of Huiqiong's negotiations, the Mori family and the Taige reached a harmonious relationship, which allowed the China's major reversal to proceed smoothly; because of the persuasion of Naoei Yama Castle (also continued the position of "Yama Castle Guard"), the Uesugi family chose to surrender to Taige and avoided the same fate as the Takeda family; because of the slander of Yamaguchi Kinbo (Soyong's official position of "Yunei"), Ogasawara lost the position of Su Lao and was forced to leave Jingo and join the family. Because of these "achievements", Huiqiong obtained 60,000 stones of Yiyu, Yamaguchi Kinbo won 63,000 stones of Kaga, and Naoei Yama Castle even received 300,000 stones of Yonezawa. Such treatment, let alone a servant, even a daimyo that can be achieved for the rest of his life?
You also know that Maori, Kobayakawa and Uesugi are all great names of the five elders. Once they believe the words of powerful ministers and turn to the stern assistant, it will be nearly three million Shigao. Not only that, those little daimyos around them will also change their responsibilities. The losses caused by this are definitely no less than two million (Kyushu Island alone has 2.9 million, and Shikoku Island also has 1.2 million Shigaoshi). With the original knowledge and actions of the Oei faction, I can be sure that the Daemini who eventually invested in Sawayama Castle (Ishida Mizuna's residence) will definitely have more than six million Shigao. Shouldn't such a group that accounts for 30 to 40% of the country be taken seriously by our family?"
"Six million!" Everyone present changed their expressions when they heard this. Some were surprised, some were filled with clouds of sorrow, some expressed suspicion, and others were panic and uneasy.
"Gao Hu is right," Hideopo waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said lightly: "What he said is 'groupization' is what I am worried about, just like snowballing. The Ministry of Justice combined the Omi faction with its own strength, and then used the Omi faction as the foundation to attract powerful daimyo and retainers. Finally, through powerful daimyo, the group was maximized. In my opinion, six million is still conservative, and if it goes well, eight million is possible."
"Eight million!" Shima Qingxing couldn't help but shout: "Isn't that much more than the combined addition of our family and Shigao in the inner court?!"
"This is fun, right?" Shuibo smiled. "If the treatment department can really pull all the ambitious daimyos out of the water, wouldn't our family just be able to catch them all in one place to prevent future troubles?"
Although Shimo Qingxing nodded, he was still worried and murmured: "If this is the case, then the family is at a disadvantage, let alone the whole family is caught in one go... It is a different story to say whether they can stand up to this wave of offensives."
"What a courage, are you trying to increase your enemy's ambition and destroy your own might?" Xiu Bao asked at Shikigami in anger.
Dao Qingxing was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and shouted loudly: "I dare not, but I still want to remind the lord to act according to his ability and not be eager for quick success or short-term gains."
Seeing this, Xiubao laughed out loud and said lazily: "A good medicine is good for the disease, and honest words are good for the action. If I don't even understand this principle, will I lead you to today? Gao Hu, you just mentioned the group of the treatment department. Have you ever thought about the group of our family?"
When Shiba was joking with him, Shima Kiyoshi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat back on his original position. Seeing this scene, Tengdo Takato was also a joke, thinking that after following Shiba for so many years, you still don’t know who he is.
"Lord, I think that according to the analysis of the Omi Sect just now, the power that our family can accurately master should not exceed five million."
Takato Fujido said very calmly, but the generals here couldn't calm down at all. They either whispered with exaggerated behavior or muttered seriously. Five million, this number was really hard for them to accept. The hindsight position that Hideoba worked hard to get in exchange for was in the end, but in the end, it was not as good as the Omi faction's clever words. Anyone would be unwilling to accept it.
"How many?" Shuibo muttered, stroking his beard, "I thought it would be good to have four million, so I'm doing well in these big names." (To be continued.)
