Yan Qi’s plan is perfect
He, Yoshitomo Takeda, and Matsukaze cooperated.
He acts as a bad guy and scares the chaebol representatives.
Yoshitomo Takeda is a good person and comforts the chaebol representative.
Matsufugi worked as an informant, mingling among the chaebol representatives, inserting leads and acting as a flexible shill.
Cooperation among the three parties is indispensable.
This plan went very smoothly.
Yoshitomo Takeda just wants to pretend to be a good person and be a close advisor to the chaebol representative.
"Everyone, if you can take your clan members and escape the pursuit of Tokugawa Taiyasu, you have accumulated virtue. Good people will be rewarded. Your future is limitless, and the future of your family is quite promising."
"The current complacency is just preparation for future counterattack."
"Don't worry, I have Yoshitomo Takeda with me. Sooner or later, you will return to Japan, your own land, and continue to be your chaebol."
"It just takes time!"
"What are your sufferings compared to mine?"
"The former Takeda shogunate was so glorious, but didn't it also end in ruins for everyone?"
"And you are at least much better than me, Yoshitomo Takeda, right?"
"Even I have the patience to wait for the flowers to bloom and fall. Why can't you wait?"
"Compared to mine, your experiences are much happier."
"Would you feel more comfortable if you think about it this way?"
…
Yoshitomo Takeda’s words made the Zaibatsu representative feel very cordial.
They suddenly felt that Yoshitomo Takeda was too good.
Only Yoshitomo Takeda can understand them and take care of their interests.
"Lord Takeda, I think back then, when the Takeda shogunate was in power, we had a close relationship with each other, and we would not be so rude to each other like the Tokugawa shogunate."
"Yes, I really miss the old Takeda Shogunate."
"It would be great if the Takeda shogunate could take power. I remember that I was able to greatly support the Takeda shogunate."
…
Everyone began to miss the various kindnesses to the Takeda shogunate and mentioned the various help to the Takeda shogunate.
Takeda Yoshitomo smiled and accepted the good intention.
Secretly, he sneered.
I think back then, the Takeda shogunate just couldn't satisfy the appetites of you chaebols, so you colluded with Tokugawa Masuhiko to overthrow the Takeda shogunate.
Now, you still have the nerve to mention the past?
What about the close relationship with the Takeda Shogunate?
It's so shameless.
Yoshitomo Takeda endured his anger and continued to be a good person, praising the good times and praising the tacit understanding between Takeda and the chaebol family during the Takeda shogunate's reign.
Soon, she gained the chaebol's empathy.
Seeing that the time had come, Takeda Yoshitomo winked at Matsukazeki.
Matsukaze boosted the morale of the Zaibatsu representatives: "Everyone, we are a blessing in disguise. Being able to reunite under Takeda is also another new life for our major Zaibatsu."
"Every time we learn something, we learn wisdom. We can see how much Takeda-sama takes care of us and how attentive he is to us."
"I can't guarantee the others, but as far as I am concerned, as far as the Matsukaze family is concerned, I am willing to always obey Takeda-sama. Because, Takeda-sama will not only not harm us, but will also give us sufficient Interests. Let me express my opinion here. In the future, if our Matsukaze family rises, we will definitely take care of Lord Takeda's interests forever."
His statement made other chaebol representatives also infected.
"Matsufugi is right, our Okada family is also loyal to Lord Takeda."
"We, the Inoue family, are also loyal partners of Lord Takeda. We must unite around Lord Takeda and be his strong arms."
…
Representatives of the chaebol expressed their opinions one after another.
Thousands of words, condensed into one sentence, support Yoshitomo Takeda.
Yoshitomo Takeda nodded slowly: "If we all work together and work together with sincerity, we will surely succeed. It only takes ten years, we can afford it."
Seeing that the momentum was good, Matsukaze deliberately asked Takeda Yoshitomo: "Mr. Takeda, I don't understand military affairs, so I came here to ask why you keep saying that you have to wait ten years before you can counterattack the Tokugawa shogunate?"
The confusion in this is also something that the chaebol representatives do not understand.
Everyone looked to Takeda Yoshitomo, hoping that Takeda Yoshitomo would give him an answer.
Yoshitomo Takeda said: "There are three points."
"First, I don't have that much money now. To fight a war, we need money, a lot of money. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, let alone a war."
"Second, even if you have money, you still need people. How can you train an army without people?"
"I can actually solve both of these, it just takes time, but it doesn't take too long."
"But the third point is not that easy."
The chaebol representative hurriedly asked: "What is the third point?"
Yoshitomo Takeda said: "The third point is also the most important point. If you want to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate, you must be stronger than the Tokugawa Shogunate in terms of force."
"How to be stronger than the Tokugawa Shogunate in terms of force? Is it okay to just rely on money and people? It's absolutely not possible."
"If you want to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate, you must have weapons more powerful than the Tokugawa Shogunate."
"You should also know that the Tokugawa Shogunate's army is armed to the teeth from top to bottom."
"The warships of the Tokugawa shogunate have no rivals except the great warships. Even if they face European warships, they can't make any concessions."
"Among the surrounding countries, there is no one else who can rival the Tokugawa Shogunate's iron cannons except Dahua."
"The Japanese swords and burrs of the Tokugawa shogunate, as well as the iron muskets obtained from the West, are all super powerful. No one can compare with them except Dahua."
"You think, when I face such powerful weapons of the Tokugawa Shogunate, can I defeat them?"
The chaebol representative couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
After listening to Takeda Yoshitomo's words, I realized how strong the Tokugawa shogunate's military strength was.
Yoshitomo Takeda finally concluded: "The reason why I said I would spend ten years counterattacking the Tokugawa shogunate is because I want to build weapons. I want to build a large enough number and powerful enough warships to confront the Tokugawa shogunate. In order to make iron blunderbuss to fight with the Tokugawa Shogunate, I also want to make sharp Japanese swords, sharp burrs, and various advanced weapons."
"If these weapons can be produced within ten years, we can counterattack the Tokugawa Shogunate earlier."
"If things don't go smoothly, it will take more than ten years, or even more than twenty years."
"However, I have confidence in myself. One day, even if my hair is gray, there will be a day when I will liquidate the Tokugawa Shogunate."
"Do you have confidence in me?"
"This...confidence?"
After hearing Takeda Yoshitomo's words, the chaebol representative felt his heart pounding and felt uneasy.
Because it was okay not to listen to Yoshitomo Takeda's words. After listening to them, even the little confidence they had flew out of the sky.
