As the saying goes, learn the civil and military skills well and give them to the imperial family. This sentence is an advanced version of learning and becoming an official, or a commercial version. But in the final analysis, the meanings expressed by the two sentences are similar, and the overall situation is within the scope of intellectual property rights and labor sales.

After the Tianshou Pavilion talks, Shibata Katsuya already had the fundamental confidence to fight against Hideyoshi Hashi. If it turns out that he was helpless and necessary to fight against Hideyoshi Hashi, then now, it is more out of a yearning.

Now all the work needs to be done has been put on the agenda. It only needs to be refined and optimized according to the actual situation, and then the designated person will complete it separately according to the timing and degree of importance. Of course, the top priority is to do a good job of confidentiality.

As for the attack on Oda Nobuo that should be carried out by me, after discussing with Shibata Katsuya, I thought it was not a hurry at the moment. Because if I take action at this time, I would be afraid that I would alert the snake, so that Hashiba Hideyoshi would be more vigilant or make other plans. It would be better to wait for Shibata Katsuya to reach an agreement with Uesugi Keika, and it would not be too late to start the winter.

Choosing this time can catch Hideyoshi Hashiba off guard; on the other hand, it also makes him not have much room to divert his target. More importantly, we can complete the arrangement and transformation of the military force before the beginning of winter, strengthen support for Oda Nobuka and the Three Masters, and prevent the harsh situation of the lord being abducted.

So I stayed in Nagahama Castle for the time being, and during this period, Shibata Katsuya also reported me a reward that was sufficiently satisfactory.

I basically didn't bargain, and Shengjia also showed great sincerity. So after all, the rewards he provided to me mainly include the following aspects:

First of all, as long as it is in his Shibata Katsuki territory, the Knife Chamber of Commerce is exempted from all taxes; in the territory of his allies, half of the taxes are exempted. At the same time, in foreign trade, the banner of Shibata's special chamber of commerce can be used! This one seems very attractive, but in fact, if you cannot defeat Hashiba Hideyoshi this time, this is a blank check.

There is no need to say that tax reduction and exemption is lost this time. If Shibata Katsuya loses power like in history, then it would be like to strike up a special chamber of commerce for Shibata... I would not do such a stupid thing. So in fact, this discount is a promise of regional protection with restricted conditions.

Secondly, the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce was allowed to have a guard team of about 2,000 people in the territory of Shibata Katsuya and his allies.

This was rare in the Warring States Period. After all, the scale of private armed forces always made the head worried. How could others sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Right?

Of course, there are similar ronin groups in the Japanese territory, but they are all unorganized. There are really very few organized civil armed forces like this.

After counting horizontally and vertically, there are only a few ninjas, plus mercenary groups like "Zaga". This is precisely the reason why these ninjas and mercenary groups are always attacked - because the people in power are worried.

What kind of person is the most reliable? The least troublesome? The answer is - dead people. So strictly speaking, this is also considered the special courtesy of Shibata Katsuya to me. But in fact, in my opinion, he hopes that at this critical moment, I can accumulate more power in all aspects and work together to help him overcome difficulties.

Therefore, rather than saying that Shibata Katsuya gave me special courtesy, it is better to say that he wants to save the country and help him. But this matter is mutual benefit, and it doesn’t matter who suffers and whoever takes advantage of it.

Of course, seeing my smiley expression, Shibata Katsuya knew that I had seen through his thoughts, so he blushed and promised to provide me with 500 armor and weapons, as well as cavalry equipment of 100 people.

I naturally feel guilty about such additional clauses of lovingness, but I accept it with disrespect.

Third, he gave me the right to mobilize a certain scale of military operations when necessary, which is also because of the collateral effects brought by the Shibata Katsuya's Guide to Military Arts.

The so-called guide to military tactics can actually be divided into two types.

One is the military commander service in the dynasty, with a position equivalent to that of the chief of staff in the military, and can have the power of military command and advice, but while obtaining such power, one must be loyal to the master's family, become subordinates, and exist as subordinates.

If you choose this kind of identity, you must participate in the monthly assessment - that is, regular meetings, and you must be in office all the time and not run around. After all, if the leader cannot find someone, he will lose his temper.

The other is the military strategy guide in the opposition, which is my kind, which is actually equivalent to a guest staff officer. Everyone has relatively free and flexible identities, and is more like a kind of employment and collaboration relationship. There is no need to attend regular meetings or be in office at any time, but when necessary, our family will send a summon. If there is no special situation, it should be in place and provide people with their efforts.

And it is normal for me to choose this kind of identity. How could I completely set foot in the wolf den of the Warring States Period after leaving the tiger's den of the Ming Dynasty? It would be better to add fuel to the fire with a detached attitude.

Of course, after the Tianshou Pavilion agreed on that day, Satoko and I actually talked about the most critical issue, that is, why should I help him deal with Hashiba Hideyoshi! Shibata Satoko also knew that in this world, there is no love for no reason, and no hatred for no reason. In other words, it is about trust.

I made full preparations for this question before I came—

I told Shibata Katsue with a heavy and indignant expression: My father, Mr. Sun, was looted by the Kumano navy on the sea during the trade with Japan. His father's fleet was lost and he was seriously injured. Only one of his life and a broken ship left, and he returned to the Ming Dynasty after death.

Before the old man died, he left a blood letter with his trembling hands - the white cloth in my hand, which read fifteen shocking blood-red words: "The one who harms others, the one who causes them, Hideyoshi Hashiba."

I don’t know how many robberies like this will happen every year. Shibata Katsue is very clear in his heart. What kind of activities are those navy soldiers doing, and he immediately believes in them. Of course, this is directly related to the way of expressing the sound and emotion when I describe the facts. Good eloquence is really the basis for success...

The blood letter in my hand was bloody and terrible. There was still a big bloody handprint underneath - this was also a version that Lakshen and I have repeatedly pondered. The words were written by me on the bed, so I was a little crooked, but this is true, isn't it?

During the Warring States Period, the senior officials of Japan recognized Chinese characters and were proud of reading and writing Chinese characters. So looking at this bloody book, Shibata Katsuya seemed to read out the infinite indignation and unwillingness in my father's heart when he wrote down his handwriting.

I looked at my sad face with great guilt. Shibata Katsuya had no connection with me anymore. I completely accepted my statement, really treated me as my own person, and sent me an invitation to serve as the guide to Shibata's military strategy.

So I made the choice like the one above. When I put the blood book back in my arms with a sad face, I really remembered the rooster who gave her precious life for this blood book! After braised, the overall taste was still good...

Of course, in order to express my personal gratitude, Shibata Katsuya also gave me some extra things in addition to the above conditions.

The famous Ma Sanguo Hei I gave to me before was a thank you gift for the rescue of Sakuma Masaru.

Seeing that I was using a knife, although the imitation boy I was holding was very useful, it was a imitation after all, so I promised me to give me a handful of chrysanthemums and text Zezong that he had collected.

I tried this famous knife. It was really short and not enough, so I regretted it to Shibata Katsuya. So Katsuya gave me a set of Tang Guannanman as a gift and promised to help me find another treasure knife.

After thanking me, I carefully studied this painting of Tang Guannan.

In fact, anyone who has a little research on the armor before and after the Warring States Period knows that this armor is actually an alternative:

The head crown is imitating the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, with a full metal texture and an exaggerated style lined with cotton cloth. The body is imitating the Western plate armor - this is the origin of the name of the Southern Barbarians - unlike the scale armor of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the Japanese plate armor, the entire upper body of this Southern Barbarian armor is wrapped in a whole iron plate. As for the lower body, it is the traditional Japanese plate armor.

Therefore, this armor has a high defense, but also has a high weight. All of this, it is about 40 kilograms, nearly 50 kilograms. So this armor can only be worn immediately. If you want to wear it on foot... Of course, it is not impossible, it depends on your personal hobby.

Considering the war that will definitely happen next, it is obvious that I was wearing Ming army's armor, so this gift was given more considerate.

As for other gold, silver and jewelry, I don’t like this, so I gave it to others.

As for the four maids who sent Shibata Katsuya to "help me change clothes and wash", they were also sent by the angry Katsuya to clean the toilet...

In short, this trip to Changbin was fruitful, and I also fulfilled one thing. At least things were developing in the direction I expected. This was a good start, and a good start accounted for half of the success, so I was in a great mood.

That night, Shibata Katsuya held a banquet on the second floor of Tianshou Pavilion. According to my request, the scope was very small - the reason was very simple, and my existence did not want to be exposed to everyone too much.

As a hidden edge, I can only exert the maximum effect and value only when I hide it behind the scenes. Once the blade is fully pulled out, I lose my deterrence and surprise effect.

Shibata Katsuya accepted my opinion and request, so the banquet became a family banquet. The so-called family banquet was naturally something that everyone in the family had to attend. Therefore, in addition to Shibata Katsuya and I and Sakuma Katsumasa, there were also Katsuya Katsutoshi, the adopted son of Katsuya Katsutoshi, the concubine's son Katsuri, and Katsutashi Nagasawaro Shibata Katsuta who was still held in his arms by his wet nurse.

These adopted sons of his polite sons are not powerful characters, and they have not left any strong marks in history. I have no impression of them, but just gave the courtesy politely.

However, during the meal, I met an absolutely unexpected person - known as the number one beauty in the Warring States Period, the widow of Asai Nagamasa, the current wife of Shibata Katsuki, and Oda Nobunaga's legitimate sister - Ashi.

Ashi should be thirty-five or six years old this year, wearing traditional He's clothes and light makeup, and she is dignified and beautiful, as clean, neat and spotless as a statue. However, although her face is as calm as water, her appearance does not disappoint the title of peerless beauty and is well maintained.

After looking at it, I found that her eyebrows were similar to the ones I saw before... Well, Lan Xiang was a bit similar, and it seemed that she was a blood relative.

During the meal, when Ashi saw me looking at her, she looked at me too. In fact, I looked at her like this, not because I had any inappropriate thoughts about her, but before Lan Xiang and I separated, the young man begged me for something.

"Master! Oh, no, sir! You may meet my mother, Lord Ashi, when you go to Changbin City, please give her this silk palette, and say that Qianfumaru is very good, she doesn't have to worry about it. Please work hard and live your own life!" Asai Lanxiang said this when he handed me the silk palette.

I sighed slightly. Although Lan Xiang and Ashi couldn't meet each other, they were very pitiful, but at least they knew that their mother or children were still in the world. What about me? I have never met again since I was five years old, and I still didn't know whether she was dead or alive until I died. And if she knew the news of my death, would she be in pain and sad?

For a moment, I was so immersed in my mind that I stared at the wine glass and fell into deep thought. Shibata Katsuya called me a few times and I didn't answer, so Katsuya smiled and asked Ashi to pour wine for everyone one after another.

When Ashi poured wine in front of me, she said softly: "Mr. Sun, please drink this glass!"

I was immediately alert, and accidentally shook my hand and flipped over the wine glass. The wine overflowed the table. The person next to me came over to clean up the table. I also took out the silk handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers and gently wiped it on my sleeve.

"Bang!" A crisp sound came from behind, but the wine pot in Ashi's hand fell to the ground and was smashed. Shengjia asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Ashi, Qi Lan Palace knocked down the wine pot, did you scare you?"

Asichi said softly, without showing any expression on his face: "It's because I'm slipping, which has disturbed the distinguished guests. Please forgive me."
