In addition, he deeply felt the importance of staff work and planning staff in many alliances and battles, and began to carefully cultivate a think tank.
People like political staff officer Honda Masanobu, intelligence staff officer Hattori Hanzo, strategic staff officer Nobunari Naito, and Kiyohide Takagi were all trained during this period.
These cadres formed the Tokugawa Corps into a stable, well-planned, organized and efficient team. They made a great contribution to his subsequent defeat of Ishida Mitsunari, eliminating opposition forces and taking power.
Judging from the process of Tokugawa Ieyasu's transformation from weak to strong, he is a prelude to the transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises into large enterprises. That is to say, companies that are in third place in the market are preparing to move up to second place. This process of transformation and transformation is a very difficult and painful process.
The most important key lies in the operator¡¯s willpower, judgment and organizational skills. The constitution and structure of the company must be completely reorganized and changed, and the stereotypes and fetters of the family business must be shaken off. This kind of burden will never be successful unless there is firm intention and determination.
The future development of an enterprise and the formulation of long-term management policies and strategies require keen and courageous judgment. Therefore, the planning of the system, the recruitment of talents, the security of property, the establishment of staff, etc. must be arranged and prepared at this stage.
The key battle that made Tokugawa Ieyasu truly become a strong man was the battle of Komaki Nagakute. After these two battles, he had the opportunity to compete with his greatest enemy, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
However, in the long-term hard battle between the Takeda and Oda armies. He has begun to shift his focus from strategy to strategy, and has also discovered the importance of leadership through organizational warfare.
Strategy means wisdom. That is to say, we no longer use being able to fight and being good at fighting as a way to solve problems between ourselves and the enemy, but instead use the highest level of the art of war to win without fighting to achieve our goals.
Even if war is necessary, let the enemy take the initiative to start the war in order to gain a reputation for morality and justice, as a way to win over people's hearts. Like the Battle of Sekigahara and the Battle of Osaka, he only fought as a last resort, and every battle must be won with political strategies.
As for the strengthening of leadership, it means knowing people well and assigning them well. Making full use of the professional talents of the staff can fully unleash the combat power of the organization, and use the personality and divinity of the general to inspire the cohesion and centripetal focus of the subordinates to achieve the ideal goal in a coordinated manner. This was the main reason why he was finally able to defeat the Toyotomi clan as a vassal.
Companies that have gone through three stages: weak, from weak to strong to strong, are equivalent to achieving the status of industry leaders.
The management at this stage can also learn from Tokugawa Ieyasu¡¯s The Art of War of the Strong and focus on the use of strategies. and the strengthening of leadership.
Because a company with a strong or first brand must be quite large in scale, and its product categories are constantly increasing. In fact, it is impossible for operators to do everything personally and take care of every detail.
therefore. It is necessary to understand the professional division of labor through authorization and hierarchical responsibility, so as to give full play to the functions of the organization. In terms of business warfare, we must use the strategy of joining forces vertically and horizontally, making friends at a distance and attacking at close range, and strive to expand the market; for competitors, we can use the strategy of big or small or big and small, or merger or elimination. Only in this way can we consolidate our number one market position and maintain our dominance.
After the above analysis of Tokugawa Ieyasu¡¯s three-stage military strategy and its application in business management. We cannot ignore a character that is very important to Ieyasu's success: the ability to endure what others cannot endure.
This character makes people feel extraordinary at any stage: from serving as vanguard cannon fodder for Kanagawa Yoshimoto when he was weak, to being used by Oda Nobunaga to attack Echizen, and being ordered to kill his son and wife. Nari Hideyoshi's surrender, etc., all showed his ninjutsu. Since he can endure what others cannot tolerate, it is no wonder that he can achieve what adults cannot.
In addition, we have to recognize his ability to imitate. He had immersed himself in the study of Koshu military science and Takeda's employment knowledge, and also learned new tactical strategies and financial and economic management methods from Oda. His good imitation had a great influence on the later Japanese traditional spirit and national character.
Of course, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not a perfect person without flaws or never made mistakes. However, he made mistakes and never made them again, and he learned lessons from his mistakes and became a gift of wisdom. For example, in the Battle of Mifangyuan, he was defeated because of his pride and complacency and his lack of respect for the art of war. However, after this failure, he never repeated the same mistakes in his life, but instead turned from weak to strong.
In the book, you can appreciate the intrigues, divisions and alliances among the princes during the Warring States Period in Japan, as well as various conspiracies and tricks in which the strong bullied the weak and the masses oppressed the minority, such as the bitter meat plan and the alienation plan in the Thirty-six Stratagems, and the "art of war" by Sun Tzu. Important concepts, strategic rules, etc., will be used in business wars and can have certain uses.
Therefore, reading this book can not only outline and grasp the master??The important historical facts and battles of Japan's Warring States Period can also help us understand Tokugawa Ieyasu's struggle and success, and apply its important principles to corporate management and business warfare.

Takenaka Hanbei Shigeharu: Death in battle is the true nature of a samurai
Takeda Shingen (1521-1573, formerly known as Takeda Harunobu, commonly known as Taro) was a daimyo of Japan's Warring States Period. A famous general in Japan's Warring States Period, known as the Tiger of Kai, he is as famous as the Dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin, and the Lion of Sagami, Hojo Ujiyasu.
It was very influential in the history of Japan's Warring States Period. The military flag of Fenglinhuoshan (which is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immovable as a mountain) is a reference to "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, and has become a symbol of the Takeda Army.

Shingen actively developed cultivated land and overcame the shortage of cultivated land in Koshu. In particular, the Shingen embankment, which he spent half his life building, is still functioning today.
Shingen took advantage of the large number of gold mines in the Koshu Territory, actively engaged in gold mining, introduced advanced gold mining technology, and issued Koshu gold, the first fixed-denomination gold coin in Japan.
Shingen attached great importance to civil affairs, and the "Koshu Laws" he formulated was one of the famous laws dividing the country during the Warring States Period.
Shingen was once infatuated with Kasuga Gensuke (aka Masanobu Kosaka), and now he has left a letter written by Shingen to Kasuga.
His original name was Takeda Harunobu, and Shingen was his Buddhist name after he became a monk. According to the "Koyo Military Mirror", the character "Xuan" was taken from Linji Yoshigen, the founder of the Linji sect, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty of China. (To be continued.)
