Maori Yuanyi - the first wise general of the Western Kingdom

Generally when we talk about the ancient history of Japan, there are two eras that are indispensable.

One is the Japanese Nanboku Dynasty period, and the other is the Japanese Sengoku period.

In particular, the latter, in Japanese history, can also be regarded as a masterpiece.

Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, these people have a certain reputation not only in Japan, but also in China, and in the world.

Of course, in the history of Japan's Warring States, it is far more famous than these characters.

As early as the time when these people were not yet emerging, there was a man, and people called him a wise general.

When he was a child, he once visited the shrine, and after he finished, his entourage told him that the content of the prayer he had just prayed was that maori yuan would grow up quickly and grow up to be the lord of the local area.

The young Maori Yuan listened to the scene and was very unhappy, you actually only want me to be the master of this land, why don't you pray that I will be the master of the world.

After listening to it, the entourage felt very surprised, this little master is not ordinary, but still retorted that everything has a sequence, ah, to be the master of this place first, and then to become the master of the world.

Maori Yuan listened, still with a look of disdain, he shook his head, and replied that he must first have the ambition to conquer the world, and finally be the master of this place, and he must set a lofty ambition at the beginning.

After the entourage listened, they completely obeyed the little master.

There is also a more famous story about maori yuan, that is, he taught the three sons, give each of them an arrow, let them break, the three sons broke at once, and then he gathered the three arrows together and then took turns to fold the three sons, all three sons did not break, he taught the three sons to work together and unite in this way, which will produce extraordinary strength.

Maori And his sons eventually conquered a territory during the chaotic Sengoku period in Japan, and the Maori family eventually became the number one power in western Japan.
